I must get back into the habit of doing FanFiction. I'm sorry that I have hardly updated over the last few months, but it's down to laziness. Well, hopefully, I can get back into doing this.

Chapter 22: Crash Landed

Shock filled my body. Our airship! This is where it had been! In the distance, I saw a forest, and Moo Moo Meadows. Wait… That's where Iggy and I had first landed at! We had walked in a giant circle! Aaarggh! Irony is horrible... Moving on, me and Iggy ran toward the airship. I heard shouting from up ahead. When we reached the airship, I saw Kamek standing in front of it, his arms crossed. "Well well well. Master Ludwig and Master Iggy. Might I ask where you have been?"

"Erm... erm erm erm erm erm..." Iggy tried to explain, but ended up failing, so I stepped in.

"Well Kamek, we have been trekking across the countryside, looking for a way to get back to Dark Land. On the way, Bowser Jr has tried killing me, I ended up in the hospital, and Iggy d-" I immediately clamped a hand over my mouth. How could I be so foolish as to almost spill that secret? Kamek is a magikoopa, he would have no choice but to officially exile me!

"Master Iggy what?" Kamek said, as he stared at me suspiciously.

"Nothing! Nothing at all Kamek! Luddy here had a-a-a... slip of the mouth! Yeah..." Iggy said, doing his best to sound unsuspicious, but sounding more suspicious in the process.

Kamek raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? He said.

"Yes! No suspicious behavior going on here ehehe..." Iggy responded, trying to cover everything up.

"Kamek, I am sorry about that. Iggy hasn't had his meds in a while, so he is spewing nonsense." I said, while trying to signal to Iggy to stop. "Where is King Father and everyone else?"

"His highness and your siblings are inside the airship, trying to put the fires out. The only exceptions are Master Junior, Master Lemmy and Master Morton. They are not present."

Lemmy as well? I'm unsurprised about Jr and Morton being missing, but Lemmy too? Hhmm. I shall investigate that.

"Oh no! K-K-Kamek! Where is Lemmy! WHERE IS HE!" Iggy yelled, running up to Kamek and vigorously shaking his shoulders. "KAMEK TRACK HIM DOWN! NOW!" Iggy screamed in Kamek's face.

"I would, Master Iggy, if I could. The way I can track you Koopalings down is if you have used magic with your wand in the past hour, and Master Lemmy has not. Also, stop shaking me!" Kamek replied.

"GAAAAAHH THERE HAS TO BE A WAY!"

Kamek facepalmed. "Master Ludwig, you are right, he has been off his meds... Perhaps I shall do something about that." He reached into his pocket to pull something out.

Iggy saw what Kamek was doing, and assumed the worst. He started screaming and running circles around me.

While that was happening, Kamek found what he was looking for, which was a small notepad. He then pulled out a pen and wrote something down in the notepad.

"Iggy, you can now stop. Kamek was only getting out a notepad." I said. Iggy paid no notice and kept screaming and running in circles. I had to forcefully reach out and grab him to make him stop running. He kept screaming though, so I had to put my hand over his mouth.

"Iggy! Stop screaming!" I yelled, and only then did he stop. He then promptly lay down in the grass and fell asleep. Well, that's random.


Lemmy was on the verge of falling asleep, as Junior was explaining his master plan.

"And then, we shall resummon the fire storm and use it to take over all the other kingdoms, thus making me the ruler of the world. We shall then expand into space and take over the entire universe. After that, we will take over the real world. Lemmy, are you even listening?"

"Huh?" Lemmy squeaked, having been awoken for the seventh time that hour. "Uh, yes Junior, I was resting my eyes."

"Well, that better be the reason because you don't want anything to happen to Iggy, do you?"

"No! Junior, you have my full word that I was only resting my eyes!"

"Good. Now, where was I? Ah yes, I am confident this plan will succeed because all major distractions, such as Ludwig and Mario, will be taken care of... blah blah blah..."

After many hours of talking, Junior had finally finished.

Lemmy quickly exited the planning room, and made his way down the stone corridor to his bedroom. His room was small, with barely anything in it.

It was difficult to get to sleep because his room was right next to a prison cell containing a duplighost. Lemmy struggled to remember the ghost's name, but he knew it was something like Loopdiss. Anyway, Loopdiss or whatever made a lot of noise by yelling from trying to beat a rigged video game that was impossible to beat.

Lemmy sat down on his bed and sighed. He didn't want to help Junior, but he had no choice. He hoped that Iggy, or Ludwig, or any of his other siblings for that matter, would come and save him.

That concludes this chapter! Sorry if these chapters have been a little slow to come out. I can assure you though, that chapter 2 of SM3DW is in the works! Favorite, follow, and review!
