Welcome back to the Kooky side {-A Koopalings Fanfic-}

Ch.43

With Ludwig: 

It’s been several hours, and the Koopalings were all laughing as they walked down the airship dock to where Junior’s airship was. 

“Today was a great day, wouldn’t you say, Ludwig?” asked Larry, smiling lazily as he glanced up at the eldest brother. 

Ludwig chuckled, nodding. 

“Yes, efen I must agree zat today vas goot. It's nice vhen ve all shpent time together as brothers ant a sister, ant not just Bovser's Koopalings, his highest rankink minions. Efen if ve vere all just adopted, ve're all shtill a family, ant zat's vhat matters most in ze ent” said Ludwig, smiling proudly at his analogy. 

Roy just chuckled, shoving Ludwig’s shoulder, causing the eldest to stumble slightly. 

Fawful, having heard the Koopalings approaching the airship dock, had quickly snuck outside and was hiding in one of the empty barrels nearby, wanting to hear everything they were talking about. 

“Yeah, yeah, we git dat shit, yo're da smart one in da family. Yo' n' Iggy r' tha brains, me n' Morton r' tha brawn's, Wendy be tha pretty one, Lemmy be tha entertaina n' distracter, n' Larry be tha thief/ninja/spy” said Roy proudly, gesturing to everyone as he said their name. 

“What about me! I also consider myself a Koopaling even if I’m not officially! I don’t want to JUST be known as the heir to the throne” said Junior, frowning as he crossed his arms, puffing his cheeks. 

Roy chuckled, ruffling Junior’s hair. 

“We know, Junior. Dat’z why yo' n' Ludwig r' considered da leaders. We may all have agreed dat we don't actually have a leada in dis group, n' dat it’z a collective work as a team, but Ludwig be tha oldest n' yo're tha heir. Dat technically would make yo' both da leaders in charge...especially fo' all dem times we could have used a leada in da past” said Roy smiling at first, but then frowned and glanced away as he muttered the last part under his breath. 

Ludwig heard this, now smirking. 

It had been Roy and Iggy who had told him that they all work as a collective team when he had named himself the leader. Ludwig had been sour about that for a long time before he stopped ignoring the two Koopalings. 

“Yes, perhaps if you all hat let me lead, zen ve probably voult hafe hat a better chance in defeatink ze Mario brothers. But no, you all agreet zat it vas a kollektife team ant zat ve schoult all vork together under no leader. Efen an unofficial leader voult hafe vorket in zose situations, but I vas ignoret in fafour of you all tryink to vork zings out on your ovn. Zere's a reason vhy eferyone in ze other kingdoms zinks I'm ze kruellest Koopalink out of all of you, ant I zink I just profet myself vith vhat I hat done to zose poor, defenceless guards” said Ludwig, a dark shadow slowly passing over his eyes, the eldest brother’s smirk turning sinister. 

He then chuckled menacingly, causing a shiver to run down all of their spines. 

Even Fawful felt a shiver run down his spine, but he shook his head and grinned, knowing that he could use this fact against the oldest Koopaling. 

“Man, you can sure be sinister when you want to…” muttered Lemmy, a little frightened. 

Ludwig shook his head and cleared his throat, regaining himself. 

“Yes, I suppose I kan be at times. Efen vithout my Kooky side, I kan shtrike fear into anyone” said Ludwig, now frowning. 

Junior chuckled. 

“Yeah!” cheered Junior, smiling excitedly. 

Ludwig couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw this.
