Chapter 2: Meeting Everyone
"I-i-im-m-m C-c-Carl!" I managed to say. Bowser Jr. had exited the tub and come over to inspect me.
"He's the newest recruit." Bowser explained slapping me on the back.
"Looks like he could do with some training! Here, let me train him dad, please?" Jr. said grabbing a towel.
"Alright! Go with Jr. Carl! I'll be in my throne room if you need me." Bowser said and he walked off down the hall.
"Here, want to meet the Koopalings? Dad seems to like something about you, so I think you deserve to meet them!" Jr. said walking over to the next door down the hall. He opened just to have a bunch of feathers fly at his face. All of the Koopalings were in a giant pillow fight, Lemmy was slapping Iggy with a pillow, Ludwig was jumping on Wendy, and Roy was chasing Morton. Suddenly everyone stopped and looked at Bowser Jr. They all got into a straight line and stood at ease.
"Why do you all look so serious? I've told you guys that just because I'm your General doesn't mean that we aren't still brothers and sister! I've just come to introduce you to our newest recruit Carl! We have to train Carl so he can join the other Koopas and Goombas okay?" Jr. said opening a door in the back of the room. The room was enormous and was filled with Queen sized beds. I stared in awe as this room was bigger than my apartment back in Toad Town! The door revealed a garage even bigger than the bedroom full of Clown Cars.
"You ever driven one of these before?" Ludwig asked, hopping into one. Everyone else including myself, got into one and flew out of the open roof.
"Don't worry, it's easy! Just press the green button to release you wheels, the red one to get out your boxing gloves, the left pedal to go up, the middle one to go forward, and the right one to break, got it?" Jr. asked looking at me. I nodded a slightly confused yes and we took off. We flew over the entire castle and landed in what looked like training grounds. Pom Pom and Boom Boom seemed to sparring as they were both attacking each other.
"Take my ninja star!" Pom Pom yelled. She split into 5 different Pom Poms and threw her ninja star. Boom Boom either guessed or knew which Pom Pom was the real one because he dodged the ninja star and punched her in the stomach. She fell over and groaned in pain.
"Good fight guys, but we need to train this new recruit!" Wendy explained.
"How about this new recruit fights me!" Boom Boom suggested.
"Um, well, he IS just a new recruit, others who have been here for years can't beat you! But I guess it would be good practice, want to Carl?" Jr. asked, staring at me. I didn't know what to say, Bowser trusts Pom Pom and Boom Boom almost as much as he trusts Jr. and the Koopalings, they trip up the brothers almost as much too.
"Uh, sure!" I said not thinking. I realized that I was probably strong enough to take him on, so I stepped into the center of the field. We both stared at each other until Jr. started the fight. I pulled out a hammer and immediately chucked it at him. He hid inside his shell and raced towards me as fast as he could.
