"How much longer will it be before you finish, Iggy?" Larry asked his older brother as he sat down, watching him work on the portal in the basement.

"It shouldn't be too much longer, Larry," Iggy answered. "Hey, bro, can you pass me that wrench?"

Larry looked to his right and saw a large, rusty wrench lying beside him. He picked it up and tossed it to Iggy. The taller Koopaling swiftly caught it in one hand, and continued to construct the portal.

"Thanks, Larry. So, how are you feeling?" Iggy asked his youngest brother, beginning to tighten some screws.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean are you excited or anything?" Iggy responded.

"Well, sure, I guess. The idea of another dimension sounds pretty cool," Larry said, proceeding to lie down. "Are you sure all your calculations were correct?"

"I'm pretty certain. My research all ends up being positive," Iggy said.

"Good. I wouldn't want anything bad to happen around here," Larry said, yawning.

"Hey, guys. I brought some sandwiches. Let's talk!"

Iggy and Larry turned around to see Morton enter the basement, holding a tray of sandwiches. All the sandwiches were comprised of cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, and ham, so the brothers weren't going to turn down the offer of free food.

"Thanks, Morton," Larry said, grabbing a sandwich.

"Yeah. Thank you," Iggy said, taking a sandwich as well.

"No problem, guys," Morton said, sitting down. "So, how are you doing? Are you making progress?"

"Yeah. In fact, I'm almost finished," Iggy told his younger, but larger, brother.

"Iggy says all his calculations added up, so there won't be any mechanical mishaps," Larry said, gesturing to Iggy.

"That's nice," Morton said, biting into his sandwich.

"Woah! Are those sandwiches I smell?" Roy happily asked, running down the stairs. He took a sandwich from the tray and went to lie on the long, wooden bench along the wall.

"Hey, Roy. How have you been?" Iggy asked, continuing to work on the portal.

"I've been fine. I'm happy to go to this alternate dimension I've been hearing about," Roy said, taking a large bite of his sandwich.

"Me too! This gonna be fun!" Larry yelled, punching his fists into the air.

"Roy? How exactly has Ludwig been after the fight you guys had?" Morton questioned, facing the oldest Koopaling in the room.

"Ludwig? He's been pretty chill since we fought. I think I may have touched a nerve when I charged at him," Roy explained in remorse.

"He angered you, though," Iggy said, stopping to contribute to the conversation.

"I know, but it's never really Ludwig's fault when something goes wrong," Roy said.

"I know. It's weird, right?"

Lemmy came dashing down the stairs, but tripped. He plummeted down to the basement floor. In a daze, he lifted his head And began to lift himself off the ground, but Wendy jumped on him. She stood up on his shell, and jumped up. She landed back on his back, and caused Lemmy to yell in pain due to his little sister's superior weight.

"Come on, Lemmy. You know I'm not that heavy. However, this is what you get when you change the channel when my favorite show comes on," Wendy said, ignoring Lemmy's cries of pain.

"Hey, Wendy. What's up?" Roy asked his only sister.

Wendy had been completely oblivious to her other brothers' presence in the basement. "Oh, nothing much. I was trying to enjoy a nice morning of T.V. when someone changed the channel," she said, gesturing to Lemmy.

"Anyways, Iggy is almost finished. We're about to go and safe Peach," Larry said.

"We have to wait on Bowser and Bowser Jr., right?" Lemmy asked, gasping for breath. Wendy then leapt off of him, and sat down next to Roy on the bench.

"Yeah. They're supposed to meet us here in fifteen minutes," Iggy answered, checking the current time on his phone.

"Well, let's be prepared," Ludwig said to his siblings, walking down the stairs. He stood beside Iggy. He was about to say something, but Iggy suddenly yelled in excitement.

"It's complete! I did it!" Iggy yelled, jumping on his feet.

"Great job, Iggy. All we have to do now is wait," Wendy said, getting off the bench. "Let's go upstairs, guys! That way, we won't have to here any knocking."

Wendy began to head up the stairs, and her six brothers followed her. They sat in the living room and waited on the great Koopa tyrant and his son to arrive. They waiting for nine minutes, until Larry spotted the approaching Bowser. He dashed to the door, and opened it before the two could even reach it. Bowser and Bowser Jr. entered the Koopalings' house, perplexed.

"Is it ready, Iggy?" Bowser asked the second-tallest Koopaling.

"Yes, sir. We can go now," Iggy said to Bowser.

"Good! Let's go!" Bowser yelled, punching into the air. "Where did you put the portal?"

"It's in the basement," Iggy replied, pointing to the stairs.

Bowser then picked up his son. He then walked downward to the Koopalings' basement.

"So, this is it," Ludwig said, standing up from the couch.

"Yep," Larry said, turning off the T.V.

"I hope we're successful," Morton said, nervously.

"We'll be fine," Wendy assured him, standing beside Ludwig.

"Come on! We don't have all day!" Bowser yelled from the basement.

"Yeah! Hurry up!" Bowser Jr. shouted.

"Okay! Just wait for a few seconds!" Ludwig called down to the two.

"Sibling Squad?" Lemmy questioned, holding out his hand.

"Sibling Squad!" the other Koopalings yelled, placing their hands over Lemmy's.

The seven siblings thrn dashed downstairs to meet Bowser and Bowser Jr. The Koopa prince had become bored with waiting for the Koopalings to come. He had begun to tinker with the portal, much to Iggy's dismay.

"Hey, don't touch that! You might mess something up!" Iggy yelled to Bowser Jr.

"Well, maybe you and your siblings should have hurried up," the Koopa prince retorted.

"Look, guys. We're almost there. Let's not fight, and go get Peach," Ludwig said, breaking them up.

"About time," Bowser murmured, looking away and crossing his arms.

"So, then, who's going first?" Iggy questioned his companions.

"What do you mean who's going first?" Wendy asked.

"Yeah, Iggy. It's your portal. You go," Larry agreed with his sister.

"I'm tired of your constant bickering! I don't want to here anymore arguing from you guys for the next two hours!" Bowser roared to the Koopalings. His tone of voice caused all seven Koopalings, and even Bowser Jr. to fear him at the moment. Iggy leapt through the portal, and evetyone else followed.

Bowser, Bowser Jr., and their current companions found themselves in a world fairly identical from their own. The grass here was green, luscious, and rich. Puffy, white clouds hovered in the skies. This dimension didn't seem to be that different from there dimension. Bowser was actually a little disappointed by the seemingly familiar surroundings. Stomping his foot on the ground, he gave out assignments.

"It's pretty obvious that we need to find the home of those criminals. I can't wait to pound them into the ground!" Bowser said, cracking his knuckles.

"We need to have an actual plan, instead of bursting in like wild animals," Ludwig said, contradicting the tyrant's statement.

"So you don't want to assist me?"

"I never said that, Lord Bowser. I'm just saying we good do this in less than a day if we have a plan," Ludwig explained nervously.

"Yeah, Lord Bowser. I'm sure the enemy has prepared for an attack," Roy agreed with Ludwig.

"Fine, whatever. We'll do things your way. Happy now?" Bowser questioned, beginning to walk away.

"Indeed," Ludwig said in satisfaction.

Little did they know, a pair of Koopa twins eavesdropped on their conversation. These twins hid behind one of the many, thick bushes in the local area. The twins had seen three members of the invading crew. With Bowser and his minions leaving, they spoke amongst themselves.

"This is pretty neat, huh?" asked the younger twin.

"Yes it is. With this info, we could get a huge raise in our allowance," the older twin replied.

"Maybe we could afford a larger room, or an endless supply of toys," the younger twin added.

"You're right. Let's tell King Dad."
