new world new life
chapter 9 the mountain part 2 witches wizards and magic dust.
the portal opened on the other side and dropped two Koopas off into a strange world. Kooper hit down first. he immediately ran to a large rock inside the cave they were in. after a minute of… some cookie tosses. he turned around and went back to the portal after a minute another Koopa flew through the portal much faster than the first one. Ike was flung over an edge in the large cave.
"IKE NO."
the koopa fell down the hole hitting every nook and cranny on his body on the jagged rocks. falling some 20 ft before hitting flat ground. Ike still barely conscious even after that fall could still feel every bit of pain. as everything went red he could hear his only friend calling for him. Ike didn't know what was more painful, the damage the fall did. or the fact he couldn't respond even with a whimper. the red enveloped his eyesight and the pain almost disappeared leaving a mostly numb feeling. Ike couldn't see, couldn't talk, hear, he couldn't even taste the blood in his mouth anymore. his time was almost over.
POV SWITCH
Ike fell
I was going to get him. as quick as i could i started climbing down… he could be saved… i had to save him…. not for my plan, not because we got all this way, but because he was almost a brother, no he was a brother to me, even if he didn't feel the same way. i would get down there, grab his mutilated corpse, and drag it all the way back up and out of the cave.
"Even if it kills me." how ironic.
Kooper got to the bottom, to see his friend bleeding and broken on the ground.
"No no no…. don't worry Ike ill find a way to get you back up. i can save you."
then Kooper heard a voice behind him.
"the odds of you bringing him back, are about as good as the odds of it snowing in the Darklands any time soon."
Kooper turned around. and with tears in his eyes said. "you don't know that i- i can-can."
he started crying some more. the figure appeared. it was a small red shelled turtle with a single spike on his back.
"hey how bout this me and my crew will carry him up there for ya."
Kooper sniffled, slightly against the idea of someone other than himself touching his friend, but agreed.
while the other small citizens of this cave carried Ikes body, two other figures watched over them.
(MYSTERY MAN REVEIELD)
KAMEKS POV
the skilled sorcerer watched the efforts to get the body up the inclines.
"A shame really, i thought they would have gotten gobbled by piranha plants or roasted by fire bros. but he didn't even last two seconds outside the portal."
"though it is a shame he was killed so quickly, i have a plan to get him back." Kamek looked at Kammy.
"Care to elaborate on that." Kammy said.
"Well i just so happened to come across a very rare Item… a 1up shroom, now this will definitely be able to bring him back. the downside is getting it to them, so I'm going to have you put it in a block and move said block closer to them… without getting caught."
"Ooooh bro why do i gotta do the manual labor."
"because i had the plan. but i need to do something first."
kamek pulled a green mushroom out of his pocket, then kammy handed him a satchel filled with magic dust.
"Don't know why you needed so much big brother."
"Because if it works on him then it will work on that bonehead king and his obnoxious children."
"Fair point."
kamek then put a pinch of the dust on the green mushroom, no changes made except for the eyes. witch instead of being totally open, slanted a bit, making it look angry, but only if you looked real close. then kamek put it in the item block he brought. then Kammy pushed towards the group of koopas. almost getting caught multiple times, he got it close to Kooper.
After kooper listed off a billon fail worthy ideas of how to bring his friend back, he ran up and kicked the block in rage, the block opened and out of the top a green mushroom appeared. immediately kooper grabbed it and ran to Ike.
"Easier than i could have ever imagined." stated kamek.
he saw kooper tear apart the mushroom and put it into Ikes gaping mouth. he then crushed the mushroom pieces and put the dust over other major cuts and bruises. Ike wouldn't feel great when he got up but he would be alive. soon Ike was covered in green magic. signifying that the healing process was almost complete.
soon After what felt like hours, Ike got up with a jolt.
"IKE YOU O-."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH THAT HURT, SCRATCH THAT, IT CURRENTLY HURTS!"
Kooper didn't even care he wrapped Ike up in a tight hug and said to him.
"little bro, Don't EVER do that again okay."
"Little Bro?"
"yeah your younger than me and your like a brother to me."
suddenly it was Kooper's turn to be grabbed tightly. Ike had wrapped Kooper up in a hug.
"Thank you so much for staying with me an not giving up on me… brother."
Kooper smile got even bigger at that last word.
"Don't mention it bro."
The two got up, Kooper insisted he help Ike walk by carrying him, though Ike argued that he could walk, after 2 steps it was glaringly obvious the pain was too great, so Kooper scooped up the smaller koopa.
"Um Kooper."
"Whats up."
"When i…. died…" he still wasn't over the fact he died, nor did he think he ever would. "Well when i died, i- i was in a dark void, and my parents were there but i was still a koopa, and - and i didn't know what i was going to do, i just looked at them, terrified if they would have accepted me, or even had known it was me. i just looked at them, and they looked at me, but nobody talked. do you think they still love me?"
"I think they would be crazy not to, human or not, your one of the best people I've ever met, and if they wont accept you, than just know i will, no matter what you do or what happens."
"Thanks bro… your the best."
and with that Ike fell asleep in Kooper's arms as he made his way out of the cave and to the trail to toad town.
