We had left Ludwig, the castle, and the Banshee Swamp behind. Now we were in some sort of open field, walking toward the distant castle. Filled with flowers of all sorts of colors, it was quite pleasant. A nice place for a picnic. But we were on a mission. And the longer it took, the more danger there was for Peach. So no time for sight seeing or resting.
Something strange started happening. The closer we got, the cloudier the sky became.
Mario and Luigi both shared knowing looks. I didn't understand, so I asked. "So it looks like you two know about this current phenomena. Care to share?"
Luigi looked back at me. "Yeah; it's Morton Jr. again. He enjoys messing with lighning." I blinked in response. Wasn't Morton Jr. the largest of the troopa? And in the games, he seemed quite dumb. I decided to ask about it.
"What?" Said Mario; "Morton is one of the most sinister and diabolocal of the Koopalings. He's almost as strong as Bowser and is just as cruel."
Ok. This was not like the games I had played back in my old world. Iggy and Lemmy were... Not interested in fighting. Ludwig was the same. But Morton Jr. being diabolocal? Not in a million years. But this wasn't my old world. It was theirs. And I had to trust their word.
