Super Mario Galaxy 2 ½: Super Koopalings' Galaxy
I'd like to thank Disney for introducing the concept of incorporating mixed numbers into the titles of sequels. The concept is that when the sequel focuses on characters other than the main characters, such as a villain or an unimportant comic relief character, that it would be silly to go on to make a full sequel to them. Another part of the concept is that the events happened behind the scenes during a previous movie, or even in between sequels. Anyway, if this is what happens before my other stories, "Super Mario Galaxy 3: The Comet, the Knight, and the Space Pirates" and "After Super Mario Galaxy 2". Also, I hope Nintendo will one day have the Koopalings in the next three- dimensional Mario game, if there is one. Speaking of which, this could probably be a plot for a game. A side scrolling game where you control the Koopalings, travel through different galaxies, and gather Star Bits instead of Power Stars (With the exception of the one Bronze Power Star) , which allow you to progress through the game. The goal is to get to Bowser Junior. When you beat the game, you can play as Bowser Junior. You defeat enemies by stomping and Shell-Dashing. Bowser Junior unlocks fire balls. Just add in a lot more galaxies and a few rouge enemies and bosses that are out of Bowser's control.
Chapter 1: Larry's Plan
Larry Koopa was the second youngest of the eight Koopalings. He had towering blue hair, a blue star on the left side of his green head, a pair of fangs that stuck out from either side of his mouth, and a blue, spiked shell. He opened the door to one of his brother's room. Inside, Lemmy Koopa was apparently sleeping while standing on his head, which was balancing on his red starred, yellow circus ball.
"Wake up Lemmy!" Larry shouted.
Lemmy gasped and fell off his ball with a bump, landing on his head. Lemmy moaned and rubbed his head through his wild rainbow colored spiky hair and small yellow ponytail. Although Lemmy wasn't the youngest, he happened to be the smallest of the family, which was probably why he preferred to always ride on his ball.
Lemmy dusted off his yellow, spiked shell and said, "What was that for! You broke my concentration! For your information, I was going through deep meditation!"
Larry rolled his huge eyes and replied, "Since when do you meditate! Admit it Lemmy, you were napping. I don't know how you possibly could! Especially after a two weeks have passed since Junior left to have fun with King Dad while taking over the universe without us, again!"
Lemmy wrinkled his snout in disgust as he thought about their youngest sibling. "Oh yeah, King Dad's favorite. Humph! Why does King Dad like him so much better anyway?"
Larry made a face. He didn't like it when his older siblings talked bad about Bowser Junior, even though he sometimes partly agreed with them a little bit. "Well, anyway, could you round up Wendy, Iggy, and Ludwig and bring them to my room? I'll bring Roy and Morton. I want to have a little meeting about something that's been on my mind."
Lemmy jumped back onto his ball and quickly rolled off on his way. "Yeah, yeah, I got it. They'll be there in ten minutes."
A little while later...
Lemmy pushed the door to Wendy's room open and quickly rolled in. Wendy Koopa was lying back in a green pipe while pouring over a sheet of paper intently. Her large necklace of pink pearls and her two big, gold bracelets rattled as she looked up at Lemmy. Her huge pink and white polka-dotted bow seemed to tremor with rage as she glared at him.
"How many times must I tell you guys," she said, "Either you knock, or you stay out! You're disrupting my creative genius! What do you want?"
Lemmy stared quizzically at the pink shelled Koopaling and asked, "Does sitting in a pipe really help you get inspiration to write song lyrics?"
Wendy got up and huffed, "Don't look at me like I'm crazy. It works for me. And besides, it's not like I need the inspiration. My golden voice can make any song a success. Now will you please tell me why you're here? You wouldn't want to make me mad."
Lemmy gulped. The last thing he wanted was to have his ball kicked out from under him by one of Wendy's pink high heels.
"Larry wants to talk to all of us about something. I think it's important. He said to meet him at his room. I'm going to get Iggy and Ludwig now. See you later!" Lemmy then quickly took his leave.
Wendy sighed, put down her latest song lyrics, and left the room. "What could Larry possibly want now?"
A little while later...
Lemmy entered room of the oldest Koopaling, and, as usually, the room was full of music. Ludwig Von Koopa was once again working on another one of his Koopa Symphonies (all of which were terrible), his blue, spiky shell hunched over and his big, puffy, blue hairdo sticking up as he pounded away at his huge, lava rock piano.
Ludwig stopped playing and turned around to look at Lemmy. "What is it?" he asked.
Lemmy had to suppress as grin as he looked a Ludwig's only tooth. He had to remind himself that not only was he the smallest, but he didn't have any teeth at all. He then replied, "Meeting in Larry's room in five minutes. I gotta run. I wasted enough time with Wendy." Lemmy then quickly rolled out of the room and over to Iggy's room.
When Lemmy opened the door to Iggy Koopa's room, he was greeted by a huge explosion and a plume of smoke. Lemmy blinked. He knew the Iggy was sort of a mad scientist. He acted like it. He looked like it too. Big, lanky, skinny, thick glasses, four sharp teeth, a tall plume of feathery green hair that matched his green shell; he certainly did look the part.
Lemmy slowly rolled into the room as the smoke cleared. Iggy was duck-and-covering under a nearby desk. Iggy jumped out and ranted and raved at a smashed and smoking table nearby.
"Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah! A failure! Another failure! Gah!"
"Iggy, what were you trying to do?" Lemmy asked.
"I was trying to make a Super Mushroom that works on Koopas, but it exploded before I had a change to test it!"
Lemmy grinned, "Stuffing your face with stuff you make in the lab? Is that what caused your hair to turn green and change shape?"
Lemmy smiled even wider as he recalled favorite brother's former hairdo. Iggy's hair was once big and tail, like Larry's, only rainbow colored, like Lemmy's. No one knew why, but Iggy had one day just come to the dinner table with this new, green hairdo without saying anything. No matter how much they asked him, he never explained why, and Bowser didn't seem to care anyway. All they knew was that Iggy preferred this hair style over his old one.
Iggy frowned, "Ha, ha. Very funny Lemmy. But for your information, I never test anything on myself. Chompa is my test subject."
There were two loud barks, and a small Chain Chomp bounced over to Iggy's side, its chain dragging the ground. Iggy petted it until it settled down.
"But he's not a Koopa," Lemmy observed.
"Good boy, Chompa, there's a good Chain Chomp… er, what did you say…? Oh yeah! Well, you see, I just wanted to see if the mushroom was at least safe to eat. Chain Chomps are practically immortal, so I knew if it made Chompa here even a little sick, that it would have to be dangerous. Well, enough of that, what is it you want? You need me to whip up an invention for you?"
Lemmy shook his head, "No, I'm just rounding everyone up. Larry has something he wants to talk about. Come on, follow me."
"Stand guard while I'm gone, Chompa," Iggy said as he fed the Chain Chomp a Power Steak. Chompa barked as the two Koopalings left.
Meanwhile...
Roy Koopa and Morton Koopa Jr. (no one was really sure who he was named after) were at their usual hang out spot, the Thwomp Gym. Both were huge, muscular Koopalings, clearly the strongest of the eight. Roy was busy lifting a one-hundred pound barbell. He wore a rose colored pair of sunglasses and a pink skull cap, he had a pair of fangs identical to Larry's, and he had a purple shell.
Morton was busy lifting fifty pound weights in each hand. Morton was different from the rest of the Koopalings, in that his skin was dark brown, as well as his shell. Morton had a pair of big, black eyebrows and three stands of black hair on his head. The teeth in his big mouth were identical to Iggy's teeth.
Larry saw them as soon as he entered the gym. "Hey bros.! Over here!"
Roy groaned angrily as he put down his barbell. "What do you want, pip-squeak, can't you see were busy working out!"
Morton put down his weights and gave Roy a playful shove, "Come bro.! Leave him alone! I'm sure whatever it is, it's important."
Larry nodded, "It is, but we can't talk here. Everyone's meeting back at King Dad's castle in my room. Come on!"
As they followed their little brother, Roy mumbled to himself, "Grr, this better be good."
A few minutes later...
Back in Larry's room, Larry paced back and forth in front of his siblings. "This is the second time we all get left out of the greatest adventure since taking over the Mushroom World and stealing the seven Magic Wands of the seven kings-."
Roy interrupted Larry and said, "Yeah, yeah, I know what you're getting at, but the answer to our problem is in what you just said. During that adventure, King Dad's little favorite wasn't hatched yet!"
Larry growled and said, "Grr, don't you go blaming Junior like that! Didn't we all have fun kidnapping Peach on her birthday a little while back? We didn't get left out of that, did we?"
"Of course not!" Iggy said, "But that's nothing compared to going on a grand a glorious quest to conquer the universe! Do you all have any idea what we've missed two times already? And whose fault is that: Bowser Junior's!"
Everyone then began talking at once. Larry stuck his claws into his mouth and whistled loudly. When order was restored, he said, "Let me level with you guys, I once saw a picture of King Dad when he was little, and he looks exactly like Junior! That's why he named him Bowser Junior! How could he not be drawn to Junior?"
"What is your point?" Wendy shouted in exasperation.
Larry continued, "My first point is that Junior is the youngest, and he looks like King Dad. Therefore, King Dad sees the future of the Koopa Kingdom in him-."
"I'm his first born!" Ludwig roared out angrily.
"Therefore," Larry continued, completely ignoring Ludwig, "He wants to keep an eye on Junior at all times to make sure he stays safe. He wouldn't dream of being light years away from Junior, so he took him with him. He didn't take us either because we failed too many times, or because he wanted us to watch his home kingdom for him. I think it's both of them.
"My second point is that if we prove that we can be a big help to King Dad in a big way, we'll be well in Junior's status."
"But how do we do that?" Lemmy asked, still balancing on his ball.
Larry smiled slyly and said, "We steal an Airship, fly off into space, and join King Dad in Junior in their quest! So, who's with me?"
The plan sounded great to everyone, so they all cheered happily.
Larry smiled, they all bought it. They didn't know the real reason Larry wanted to do this. Larry, in fact, wasn't at all jealous with his little brother. Nor did he care weather or not he was their father's favorite. For some reason, Larry had woken up with a strange feeling inside him two days ago. He felt as if Junior was in some kind of trouble, and it had left him with a strong desire to go check up on him. Larry had always cared a lot about the youngest Koopaling. Perhaps it was because he had been the youngest for quite a while. He remembered being picked on by Roy and defended by either Morton or Ludwig. Roy was only playing of course, like many big brothers do, but Larry had no way of knowing that at the time. When Junior had finally hatched, Larry made sure to defend him against Roy's "playing around" and explained all of that to Junior. He was Larry's only younger brother, and Larry wanted to be the best big brother he could be, even though the two of them were still relatively young. Anyway, he still fervently hoped that his gut was wrong, and that there was nothing at all to worry about.
Suddenly, the group was interrupted by a small Koopa that rode in on a smiling cloud.
"Whoa! Where's the fire, Lakitu?" Lemmy asked.
Lakitu nervously fiddled with his goggles and said, "It's been another failure, another bust. I just saw Mario; Yoshi; those Toad Brigadiers; a few Lumas, including a big purple one; and Princess Peach all celebrating in front of Peach Castle. There was even a big cake with Yoshi Fruit on it! The Koopa Kingdom has lost again!"
