Chapter 2 - Preparation
Bowser's castle was huge, there was the kitchen, the pantry, the dining hall, the throne room, all of the Koopalings and Jr's rooms, the games room, the library, the computer room, Bowser's room, 6 bathrooms, army barracks, the dungeons, and rooms for all the staff there. In every room you could hear Bowser roaring at his 2 kids.
"HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID!" He shouted, "ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS GUARD THE SODA JUNGLE CASTLE FROM MARIO SO HE CAN'T GET CLOSER TO THIS CASTLE AND SAVE PEACH!". "IN WHAT PART OF THAT JOB DID YOU THINK INVOLVED GOOFING AROUND IN THE JUNGLE AND LETTING MARIO STRAIGHT INTO ROCK CANDY MINES!?" Both the boys knew that their father's question was rhetorical and it would anger him more to argue about who's fault it was so they should there silently in shame.
"Now thanks to you, Mario will be out of the mines and heading here right know!"
Bowser's castle was built underneath the Meringue Clouds since the failed invasion of Peach's castle so the Rock Candy Mines were right next to it. "Because of your incompetence we'll have to use one of my back up plans" Bowser declared, "And it just so happens, this one doubles as a punishment!" Bowser said with a devilish smirk which worried the boys.
Larry was standing in front of the throne facing his father, the marble floor beneath his feet made them cold which made him more nervous."Now, when Mario comes through that door your going to fight him" Bowser explained, "However! You are going to lose! Do you understand?". Larry didn't understand, he's made many of cunning plans in the past but none ever involved losing on purpose. "No, not really..." he replied.
More sternly this time Bowser instructed him "When Mario comes through that door..." Bowser over exaggerated pointing out the door this time, "you fight him but lose! Do you understand?". Larry realised that he wasn't going to get an explanation to this strange plan so he did as his father wanted and saluted saying, "YES SIR!".
At the same time Ludwig was sitting on the throne facing Kamek. The throne was very soft and comfortable compared to any chair he had sat on before, the cushion part was filled with feathers which apparently were from Wingo and the red velvet was a smooth and the Meringue Clouds themselves. "Right! Your job is to act natural!" Kamek explained in his shrieky voice, "Say nothing, Do nothing, just go with it! Understand?". Ludwig didn't really understand what he was meant to do if he wasn't supposed to do anything but if doing nothing counts as his punishment then he didn't mind! "Yes sir!" He recited! "Good!" Kamek replied, "Oh and one more thing! Starting from now!"
