Morton's Story
Chapter Two: The Teenage Days of My Life
For the next five/six years I trained myself ruthlessly beating myself and pushed my limits whether I was lifting things five times my own weight, hitting myself repeatedly to build my endurance or reading books and studying techniques. By the end of my vigorous training I must have been quadruple as strong as I was in the past, twice as smart and a million times better at my fighting techniques? Not the average evil king. But I couldn't and still can't control my fury, it overwhelms me and causes my brain to shrivel down to the thinking level of a wild animal? So I trained myself to be more calm when enduring pain and annoying servants. The nonstop training went by fast though and soon enough I was sixteen and ready to get my revenge. This time the mushroom king would either perish or bow down to my glorious might.
I prepared my army again but this time I had more soldiers and more types like goombas, spineys, magikoopas and the koopa troopas obviously. Then I marched back into the mushroom kingdom for the second time in my life, back to war! I stood in front of my infantry waiting for the mushroom castle to prepare it's army since I planned to win fair and square. I never cheated coz I considered it cowardly, which it was! The mushroom king never showed himself though even when his armies were lined up in front of me? I ordered the attack and the battle started with the two colliding powerfully, I watched for a while and scoped the plains for my foe. I didn't find him still so I forced my way through the blood stained battle and towards the main gate of mushroom castle where I encountered a few weak mushroom soldiers guarding it. I slashed a few of them in half with ease and the other few ran away, I let them run coz I had someone else in mind to destroy. I smashed on the gate as hard as I wanted to at the time, "LET ME IN!" I shouted furiously then there was a nervous reply, "n… no!" a scared mushroom in the castle answered me boldly.
I roared out of annoyance and turned around before paced back slowly. I looked at the battle that waged, my army was winning obviously. I turned back to the castle and waited for a second then I ran forwards with my right shoulder leaning in front of me until I hit the gate and shot straight through it. It hurt so much but that weren't all, after I landing inside the castle tiles from the ceiling fell onto me from the quake I caused. After I dug myself out of the rubble I killed every one of them little mushroom twerps around me. Mostly they were the reason I had to barge through the gate but the mushroom king hadn't shown so it seemed as though he wanted me to go to him so I decided I searched the whole castle to find nothing but scared Mushrooms hiding under tables or some sort of furniture, then I went to roof of the castle. I found standing on the opposite side to me ready to get on with the fight.
I growled and charged him instantly but he dodged me and tried to slash me with a sword he pulled out of nowhere like magic. I quickly reacted to this and smacked him over to the edge of the roof. He flipped up and gusted a fire ball at him, he blocked it with his sword but fell off the side from the force of the blast. After I'd watched him trip off the edge of the roof I froze in disbelieve. I won? I ran to the edge to see his lifeless corpse splattered across the grounds but I knew my victory was too quickly, he'd dug his sword into the castle wall and when I looked over the edge he grabbed me and pulled me off the castle. I fell to the ground like a rocket and was knocked unconscious. Afterwards I woke up in my castle and had mixed emotions. I asked what had happened and my reply was that my general had ordered a retreat coz he thought I was dead from seeing how high I'd fallen.
I threw myself into solid stone walls to calm down from my embarrassing defeat and tortured my general for retreating hehehe… Then I tried to conjure up a plan to beat my nemesis once and for all and eventually I thought of a simple plan but I would need someone powerful with magic to help me accomplish this. This person I would need was a too well known magikoopa by the name of Kamek who was supposedly the most powerful and feared magikoopa of them all. I couldn't acquire him by persuasion so I kidnapped his little sister Kammy and forced him to work for me. Eventually I had possession of his every will so I ordered another attack on the mushroom castle only this time I would get Kamek to split me into two bodies so I could double team that pesky mushroom king.
My armies marched back to the Mushroom castle and while they fought the Mushroom armies once again, Me and Kamek marched to the castle. The mushroom people refused to let me in again so I ordered Kamek to blast it open make a hole in the wall, he quickly got to the hocus-pocus and blew a hole in it, saved me having to jump through it again. I quickly went in the castle and Kamek followed me. I ordered Kamek to put the plan to action and he zapped me. I felt weird for a minute or two and then boom I split in two and both of me blasted to either sides of the room. From here my memory split in two so I can remember two memories and not one, it's quite freaky. So I'm just gonna say about what the two of me did. Well the two of me got up and went back to the center of the room, examining each other curiously before continuing.
We let Kamek leave the battle for now and immediately headed for the roof to confront the mushroom king again. We found him there and attacked him from both sides, we were beating him until he pulled that sword out of nowhere like last time. He lifted it in the air, it shone off the moon blinded us for a second and then he chanted some words and suddenly lighting shot upon the sword. Then something sucked us into the middle of the lighting and kind of pushing us back into one person in a flash of light and then it just threw me back out. I rolled off the roof edge but I quickly grabbed it and flipped myself back up safely. I asked him how he did that and the mushroom king just replied 'I know a few magic tricks myself'.
I attacked him again only for him to dodge me again but this time I was expecting it so I smacked him with my tail before he had got completely got out of my gasp. My hit sent the mushroom king into the floor and bouncing into a flagpole on the right of a castle roof. He slowly pulled himself up after and I quickly tackled him over the edge of the roof. I watched him fall to the ground and he hit it pretty hard, I laughed and made my way to the ground though the castle. When I got to the bottom I slowly walked over to the mushroom king to double check if he was dead. But the mushroom king jumped up and punched me away while I stood in shock but soon realized how he had survived. The reason he was alive was because he used his sword to land, you see by letting the sword hit the ground first and then using perfect timing to quickly push off it before the pressure of landing crushed him he saved himself. It's pretty hard to explain but I know what I'm talking about.
I attacked him again hitting him in a different way by punching him as I charged, but it didn't work. It only made things worst for me because I lost my balance and staggered forward giving the mushroom king plenty of time to charge up a very strong attack into my gut. He winded me and sent me flying into and though one of the castle walls behind me. When I finally got back up after a little breather I was kicked back down and had a sword stuck to my throat. 'Well are you gonna finish me' I asked, I was confused why he wasn't finishing me. I would have killed him in a second but he just kept the sword to my throat. 'I'm not like you' the mushroom king explained clearly. He pulled the sword away letting me get up defeated again, I growled at him as I got back up and said, 'you've made a big mistake and I'm gonna make you pay in the future' and I ran off with my troops following.
I started to train myself again and I formed a lab in my castle with a few really smart koopa scientists to work on things to boost my strength and stuff. I'd been training myself until I was at least twenty-five before the scientists had built something that worked. It was a machine that could send you to different dimensions, it was quite cool. It was a bit confusing for me to understand at first but the scientists explained more clearly what it did so I kind of understood it after a while. So I decided to use it to travel to another dimension and take it over its kingdoms there. I went to the machine and hit a bunch of buttons and a huge bubble appeared with an image of the same room on the other side of it. I made sure I could get back after entering the other dimension and jumped into the bubble.
I looked around the other castle to find the other me from the dimension I jumped into. 'Who are you' the other me asked in confusion. 'You know who I am' I laughed back evilly. Then I walked closer to him and confronted him while he shook in fear. 'Are you scared' I laughed, I was a lot more built than him from the training I had endured. 'No' the other me replied, 'then why are you shaking are you cold' I taunted him. 'Who are you and why are you here' the other me asked. 'I'm you and I'm here is to take over this kingdom' I answered. 'Not without a fight' the other me explained. 'Ok then fighting myself should be good practice' I said him like he was nothing but he was nothing and I completely overpowered him and eventually after torturing him a little I killed him, I remembered it being quite fun actually. Afterwards I went back to my own dimension with the satisfaction of acquiring my new kingdom but still it was the mushroom kingdom I was after so I got back to my training.
