Daddy's Back

Chapter Six: Amnesia

Bowser woke up in his Castle, in his bedroom and on the bed with Anna and Morton beside him and obviously every part of his body was aching. "What's going on?" Bowser asked painfully.

"Son it's me Morton your father!" Morton explained almost in tears.

"WHA…?!" Bowser reacted in shocked as he quickly jumped up. "DAD YOU'RE ALIVE, THIS MUST BE A DREAM!!!" Bowser shouted in disbelieve as he threw himself off his bed.

"Um…?" Morton muttered in confusion as Bowser hugged him tightly for a long period and sobbed gently.

"King Dad must have amnesia?" Ludwig explained smartly not that Morton couldn't figure that out on his own.

"He's forgotten about everything?" Morton stated the obvious while Bowser still cling onto him.

"It's probably better for him?" Scarno suggested. Bowser heard his brother's familiar voice and looked at him, instantly jumped back in shock.

"AH!!!" Bowser yelled as fell back but quickly got back up, "LUDWIG DID YOU CLONE ME!!!" Bowser furiously demanded an answer

"Bowser calm down!" Anna ordered strictly as she grabbed his arm and sat him onto the bed again.

"ANNA!!!" Bowser shouted, he stood back up and kissed her for a while. Scarno stood in the back and tapped his foot out of jealousy. "I missed you so much!" Bowser claimed even if he didn't know how long he'd been gone. But then he looked at Scarno again only to see another Anna standing next to him. "AH!!!" he yelled again this time not reacting as bad.

"Bowser please calm down?" Anna asked calmly as she held his face and looked him directly in the eyes. "Bowser please?" she asked again.

"Ok Anna!" Bowser replied and sat on the bed again to calm down.

"Bowser you all right?" Morton asked concerningly as Bowser's legs twitched and his hands shook from all the shock.

"Yeah dad I'm calming down" Bowser replied nervously.

"Ok Bowser we're gonna tell you what happened!" Anna explained calmly to Bowser who was surprisingly a lot more calmed down.

"Ok Bowser do you want to hear the whole story or just the bits that count?!" Morton asked importantly.

"Um…? The bits that count!" Bowser answered after a short think, Bowser was too lively to listen to a long boring story at that moment.

"Ok then promise you will be sensible and won't shout or over exaggerate!" Morton replied expecting an agreement.

"I promise?" Bowser replied quickly as he urged Morton to carry on.

"Bowser this is your twin brother Scar!" Morton explained as he pointed at Scarno.

"WHAT!!!" Bowser shouted.

"Bowser!" Anna told him off strictly.

"Sorry Anna?" Bowser apologised. "But how come I didn't know about him?" Bowser asked in confusion as he stared at Scarno knowing he was his brother now.

"Well Bowser he's been in another dimension and the only one who knew he was there was me!" Morton explained a bit humorously.

"I thought you were dead?" Bowser asked quietly looking at the floor in shame to think that his father was alive all this time.

"Yes I was but you and Ludwig here brought me back to life!" Morton explained, Bowser instantly looked back up at Morton in shock.

"Really?" Bowser asked not expecting an answer as he tried to remember the incident, "I… I don't remember a THING?!" Bowser roared and smacked into his bed mattress breaking the bed and following it onto the floor. "Ok then how come there's two Annas?" Bowser asked expecting a reasonable answer to counter his confusion as he tried to stand himself back up.

"The reason there are two Annas is because they are both from different dimensions. One from this dimension and one from the dimension that Scarno has been living in!" Morton explained sensibly.

"So what happened to me? Why can't I remember what happened?" Bowser asked curiously, standing up now.

"Well when you revived me I told you about Scarno and we went to his dimension to find him…" Morton explained and took a deep breath. "We found him and the other Anna who just happened to be Scarno's wife and you both started arguing over her and then you both started fighting. When you were fighting I tried to split you two up but you punched me, I got angry and then I beat you up and that's it!"

"So you're the reason I'm hurting all over?" Bowser groaned, laughing gently afterwards.

"Yes and I'm very sorry!" Morton apologised almost in tears. Bowser looked weirdly at Morton, he never used to sob or said sorry, his attitude had changed drastically

"Bowser can you walk?" Anna asked him concerningly. Bowser turned his attention over to her.

"Yeah I'll be fine… See" Bowser answered as he walked around the room limping a bit just to make sure.

"Um…? Bowser?" Scarno spoke to get Bowser's attention.

"Oh yeah… You're my brother right?" Bowser replied unsurely while Scarno looked a bit nervous and agitated.

"Twin brother!" Scarno corrected him then straight after he said it Bowser hugged him unexpectingly. After a short hug Bowser quickly released Scarno and moved towards the other Anna.

"And you're his wife?" Bowser asked making sure he was correct.

"Yeah…?" Scarno's wife answered slowly wondering if Bowser was alright since he was acting weird. Not that she really knew much about him but she never expected to meet a villain who was even slightly emotional.

"I bet you got jealous when I kissed Anna" Bowser laughed loudly as he nudged his brother gently with his elbow.

"Well kind of? But we both do have the same wife you know!" Scarno grumbled.

"Yeah it's quite freaky how we both met Anna and married her in different dimensions?" Bowser replied before thinking about it.

"What was the chances of that happened?" Scarno laughed.

"So Scar have you got any kids?" Bowser asked curiously to see how much they had in common.

"No not one" Scarno replied in disappointment.

"Me and Anna have seven!" Bowser laughed as he looked round the room for them. "By the way Anna, where are the kids because I only see Ludwig?" Bowser asked looking around the room again and scratching his head.

"Well Bowser they don't know about this incident so they have no reason to be here!" Anna explained simply.

"Why not tell them?" Bowser asked curiously.

"Because Bowser we decided to keep it a secret. It's for the better!" Anna answered plain and simply.

"But why would it be better for them?" Bowser asked in confusion.

"Think Bowser your kids would mistake Scarno for you and call him dad and…?" Morton answered but half way through got interrupted.

"Dad that's a stupid excuse because we're twins, I'm sure you'll make mistakes sometimes and the same with the Annas!" Bowser argued, countering what Morton was saying.

"AND…! Anna would be your children's mother and auntie at the same time?" Morton finished a bit annoyed.

"So what are you gonna do then because if you're not telling my kids then you can't stay here?" Bowser asked, a bit worried what would happen now.

"Well Scarno and Anna are gonna go live with me in my old castle!" Morton answered, he watched Bowser lean against a nearby wall and stare down at the floor.

"Ok then?" Bowser replied disappointingly.

"Bowser you can visit us whenever you want?" Morton explained gently touching him on the shoulder.

"Yeah Bowser we'll see each other all the time!" Scarno explained to help cheer Bowser up.

"I guess so but still I've only just meet you for the first time?" Bowser moaned sensibly.

Larry walked around the corner and into the doorway, "King Dad you know you can't keep secrets from me!" he explained coolly.

"Larry!" Bowser growled, "have you been eavesdropping again!" Bowser growled again and started to walk towards him angrily.

"Dad, touch me and I'll tell everyone about this!" Larry threatened as he stepped back from intimidation.

Bowser growled and replied, "you'll tell everyone anyway, you never keep secrets!" and he carried on walking towards him.

"I swear I won't tell!" Larry replied covering himself in panic.

"You better swear!" Bowser threatened.

"I swear completely not to tell, but I do want a part in this though?" Larry explained as he shook on the spot.

"Maybe but what kind of part do you have in mind?" Bowser asked curiously looking down at his youngest son.

"Well when you visit granddad, I wanna come too!" Larry answered nervously.

"Fine then!" Bowser replied quickly, glad that Larry didn't ask for more.

"Yeah!" Larry cheered as he jumped up and down with excitement.

"Ludwig do you feel the same way as Larry?" Anna asked expecting a yes reply.

"Well actually yes?" Ludwig replied as Anna expected.

"What, you as well?!" Bowser complained in annoyance.

"Yeah King Dad!" Ludwig answered slowly.

"Ok then but you can't come with me all the time!" Bowser explained. Bowser looked at the children seriously, waiting for a reply.

"Ok!" Ludwig and Larry agreed at the same time.

"Well it's getting late so we better get going" Morton explained not expecting to wait there any longer.

"Yeah we're gonna have to go then" Scarno replied in disappointment.

Morton, Scarno and his wife went to the doomships and prepared for depart while Bowser, Anna and the two koopalings watched. After a minute or two they finished and they were about to leave when Morton shouted out the ship, "COME ROUND WHEN EVER YOU WANT!!!" and after saying that the doomship took off.

"BUT WITH SOME REASON PLEASE!!!" Scarno finished Morton's sentence as they flew off and disappeared into the distance.

Bowser walked back into the castle slowly and into throne room and collapsed on the throne. Anna followed Bowser to find out what was wrong with him and the children walked away to their rooms. "Bowser are you ok?" Anna asked in concern.

"No I'm not! I just saw my dad for the first time since I was a kid, found out I had a twin brother and they've already left me here alone!" Bowser sulked as he hit the arm of the throne.

"Well Bowser you've actually spend more time with them than you think" Anna explained, not that she could do much about that.

"Yeah I know because I've forgotten!" Bowser complained. "It's not fair!" he hit the throne arm again.

"Go visit them tomorrow ok?" Anna replied with a simple answer.

"No I'd look stupid!" Bowser claimed childishly.

"But they're family they'd understand?" Anna argued gently.

"But you don't know my dad!" Bowser moaned.

"Bowser I've seen a rare side of your father today!" Anna explained a bit confused herself, since she'd heard horrible stories about Morton in the past and the way he acted now was different.

"Like what?" Bowser asked curiously.

"Well when you were sleeping Morton was next to you crying the whole time?" Anna replied in an over exaggerating way.

"Really?" Bowser asked in disbelieve.

"Yes Bowser your dad loves you dearly!" Anna assured him.

"But you know the way my dad explained what happened, it makes me think that he's not telling me something somehow?" Bowser claimed in a whisper. "BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER!" Bowser shouted and smacked on the arm of his chair.

The End (for now anyway)
