Chapter 4 Something Witty

The Koopalings cam back too the castle all worn out. Somehow, by some miracle they had managed to rescue all of the sheep. When the siblings reunited, they were amazed at what they had experienced.

"Man," said Roy, "that was crazy."

"I know," said Lemmy. "I almost got eaten buy a bunny."

"What happened to me was pretty messed up too," said Morton. "It all started when I was wondering why sheep can't be different colors, and that got me to thinking; what if there are colors that we have never seen before? Like on alien worlds or something? That would be so cool! I mean, what would you even call them? Rellow? Plue? Yaquamarine?"

"Ludwig tried to lift the ground telekinetically," said Larry as Morton continued to yak away in the background, "and it turned into a woman!"

Iggy shook his head.

"I think that all of us can agree that the ripping of the fabric of time and space is absolutely nonsensical," he said.

"I agrree," said Wendy as the group walked entered the throne room. "I mean, can this get any crazier?"

Larry stopped dead in his tracks and stared at the throne.

"Uh, yes," he said. "Yes it can."

The Koopalings looked up at Bowser's throne and gawked. There, sitting on it, was a giant slice of pizza. And it was living too.

"WE MUST NOT FALTER!" cried the pizza slice. "WE WILL DEFEND OUR PROSPEROUS LAND OF PEPPERONIA!"

The Koopalings approached the throne.

"Uh, I don't mean to be rude," said Morton, "but who the World Eight are you?!"

"Yeah, and what did you do Bowser?" asked Ludwig

"Bowser?" asked the pizza slice. "I am the almighty Camembert, king of the land of Pepperonia. I am not familiar with who this Bowser person is."

"He's the one who'se throne you stole, you piece of overcooked bread dough!" said ROy.

Camembert laughed.

"Nonsense giant turtle man," he said, "this has always been my throne. Now, if you excuse me, I have to go meeting with my war council. I want to discuss strategy for how we are going to take over the Mushroom Kingdom."

With that, Camembert got up and left the throne room. The Koopalings watched him go, completly dumbfounded.

"How in the Mushroom World can I guy like that rule a kingdom?" asked Wendy.

Ludwig chuckled.

"I don't know," he said. "He probably doesn't use 'cheesy' political schemes, that's for sure."

Ludwig laughed before he realized that he of all people just delivered a bad pun. A look of terror flew across his face.

"OH NO, IT"S INFECTTING ME!" he screamed.

"Okay, we need to do something about this," Iggy announced.

"What?" asked Wendy. "What in the Mushroom World can we possibly do?"

Iggy considered this question.

"Hmm," he said. "Okay, I have an idea. It might seem a little crazy…"

"Have you seen what's been happening today?" asked Ludwig.

Iggy chuckled.

"That's a fair observation," he said. "But no, this idea is really crazy, even by the standards of a breaking world."

The other Koopalings looked at Iggy with slight interest. Iggy took a deep breath.

"Kamek said that our world is rooted in stories written by someone named StarlitDuck," Iggy said. "What if we try to find StarlitDuck and ask her to fix all the errors?"

The other Koopalings stared at they're brother.

"Wow Iggy," said Larry, "your right. That is crazy."

"It sounds absolutely absurd," said Roy. "And need I remind you what wendy and i went through while chasing the sheep?"

"How would we even do that?" Lemmy asked. "Doesn't StarlitDuck live in a completely different dimension?"

"Look, like I said, it's far-fetched," said Iggy. "But guys, we have know other option. Our world is literally breaking apart. What else are we supposed to do?"

The other Koopalings thought about this.

"Okay," said Morton, "I'm in.

"So am I," said Wendy.

"Count me in," said ROy.

"Us too," said Lemmy and Ludwig in unison.

Iggy grinned. Then he turned to Larry.

"Larry?" he asked.

Larry looked a little unsure.

"I don't know," he said. "I mean, doesn't that idea seem a little unrealistic?"

Suddenly, Camembert burst through the door.

"Alright, ladies and gents!" he announced. "We are officialy going offf too war! Prepare the bob-ombs!"

Larry stared at Camembert as he left the room. Then he turned back to the rest of his siblings.

"Let's do this!" he said cheerfully.
