Everyone chatters noisily as Ludwig leaves the courthouse with a few prison guards.

Judge: "Order in the court!" Silence spreads throughout the large room. "Now we will begin Lemmy Koopa's trial!" Lemmy puts his head in his hands and starts bawling.

Lemmy: "Waaaahhhhh! No please not me!"

Judge: "This is just a trial, you could be innocent."

Lemmy: "Okay…" He sniffles as he stops crying.

Judge: "We will start with the accuser. Please provide your evidence."

Toad Lawyer: "Thank you. Now, how about we start with the bombs he tried to use to defeat Mario. We suspect that he did this to become stronger, and have a beget chance of killing him. I would like to call Lemmy to the stand to hear what he has to say." Lemmy slowly walks up to the witness stand and takes the oath. "Lemmy, let's start with this question. Why did you switch from your bouncy balls to bombs?" Lemmy fidgets in his seat.

Lemmy: "Well… You see… Well, let's start from the beginning. I've always been the weakling in my family, I never wanted to fight Mario nor do I hate him like my siblings do. My dad, Bowser, he tried his best to make me fight him with little success. The only reason he got me to fight in the first place was because he told me I was strong and that I actually could be stronger than the rest of my brothers and sister. Not being the smartest back then I believed him, but only to an extent. I had made him a deal, where I could use my circus ball in battle, then I would fight him. The thing was, I tried my best to avoid hurting Mario by throwing harmless bouncy balls at him. Bowser found out and got so angry he put his claw to my neck and threatened to kill me. He told me if I wouldn't fight he would kill me so I was forced to use the bombs. That is why the change was made."

Toad Lawyer: "Really… Then explain why you look so happy when you fought Mario!"

Lemmy: "I always try to stay positive no matter what happens, I rarely am not happy, like right now I'm not because I'm on trial where I could die!"

Koopa Lawyer: "That's true, he even smiles when Bowser yells at him." He shows a video of Lemmy smiling at Bowser as he yells in his face. "See, he's happy." Also, watch this video. He turns on another video, also security footage in the castle. The video shows Bowser choking Lemmy because he wouldn't fight Mario.

Bowser (in the video): "YOU TRICKED ME! NOW I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU FIGHT!" He continues to choke Lemmy.

Lemmy (still in the video): "I… don't want…to fight…" He falls limp in Bowser's arms. The audience gasps.

Judge: "I think this is enough evidence. Jury, what do you think about this case?"

Head of the Jury: "We find Lemmy Koopa, not guilty of attempted murder of Mario and kidnapping Princess Peach!" Lemmy starts to cry tears of joy, once again his signature smiling face comes back. He gleefully walks into the audience, now being a normal person again, not a prisoner.

Judge: "Thank you all for coming and we'll see you all here for the next trial!"

Wow. That's all I have to say. I expected that this fan fiction being my first one would barely pass 20 views, maybe getting one review. This was a lot better than I hoped. D3n14l you're in luck :) Lemmy is alive! Thank you all for reading and I'll see you all next chapter with Roy's trial! (If you haven't figured out the trials are from oldest to youngest.)

Frog signing out.
