Chapter 4: An Intervention
Larry, Ludwig, and the clones were in the living room about to have a conversation.
"Larry, what exactly were you thinking when summoning these? I would've preferred the spell I taught you, not some legend spell that manifests your personalities." Ludwig scolded.
"It was better to hang around different people than yourself! You'd know that!" Larry hollered.
"...Look. You've manifested five of your feelings. Sloth, fear, rage, depression, and lust. Is that what you feel most of the time?" Ludwig said.
Larry was connecting the dots and realized something.
"You're right, Ludwig. I'm lazy, scared, short-tempered, sad, and licentious most of the time. Because, well…" Larry held his head for a second.
"What is it, Larry? Are you okay?" Ludwig asked.
"H-hopefully!" Harry whimpered.
"It's just, my sexual desires formed from curiosity, and my sloth is just a normal teenage angst thing. But my three other emotions, they actually formed from something else." Larry sighed.
"It was Bowser."
"Bowser? I mean, he's not our leader anymore." Ludwig shrugged.
"And for good reason. I was a baby at the time, and I got my memory back ever so recently. I was being nestled by my mother, Laura, which I'm assuming that's where my name came from. Then that monster busted in and killed my mom right in front of me, and I couldn't do anything but cry. On the topic, I was brainwashed to kill. A Toad Town out there was destroyed by me." Larry's tears were beginning to form slowly.
"They were ord-"
"Ludwig! They… well, they were orders, but that's because I was brainwashed in order to do so! Funny thing is, I met all of you, and you were told to be my brothers and sister, while in reality, all of you were kidnapped and taken to Bowser's castle as well!" Larry slowly began to snap.
"My fear of going out just to be defeated by Mario and Luigi, my anger and hatred against Bowser, and my sadness due to the events that evening. But here's the thing. I broke free. We broke free. I broke all of you from the brainwashing. All of you are safe because of me! These spiked wristbands used to be transmitters to send brainwaves to your head, but luckily, a rogue Troopa hacked into the system and got rid of the waves." Larry touched the wristband.
"And one day, I was getting ready for battle, but not before the signals could get to me, so…" Larry moved his band out of the way and revealed a scar.
"Larry, you… why did you…?" Ludwig stared at the scar, tearing up.
"BECAUSE BOWSER'S CONTROL IS A HORRIBLE THING, LUDWIG!" Larry's tears were flowing faster out of his eyes.
"Yeah! I was there when he cut! I saw it with my own eyes, Ludwig!" Barry yelled.
"There's nothing else scarier than harming yourself! Why did he do it?!" Harry tried to escape from the grip.
"...Lawrence. I'm sorry this happened to you. I didn't know all of these clones meant something to you." Ludwig went over to Larry who was on the floor.
"But, they can't stay here. You might have to retract them back into your mind." Ludwig rubbed the back of Larry's head, comforting him.
"I-it's dark in there! I don't want to!" Harry screamed.
"The fuck am I gonna go back there for? Travel Larry's mind to find non surprising info?!" Barry tried to break free.
"I'm not gonna be able to post interesting stuff to my Insta, though!" Gary tried to reach into his hoodie pocket.
"But, I wanna meet more hunks out there!" Terry said.
Everyone stared at Terry, excluding Larry.
"We could… get them a new house. My clones are people as well, Ludwig." Larry stood up.
"We don't ha-" Ludwig realized something. "That's it! When we left the castle, we stole some of Bowser's funding! That's why his airships are a bit more cheap on the design scale nowadays!"
"I got the most of it. So, let's… I'm actually feeling very happy now! For the first time in years!" Larry's star glowed a bright green color.
Ludwig undid the spell, releasing the clones.
Larry touched his star, and his final clone would appear. A green Drakoopa lied on the floor, and got up with the brightest smile on his face.
"Oh, today's just the greatest! Don't you think, guys?" The new Koopa said, energetically.
"Good to have you back… Perry." Larry patted Perry, who made a cute face.
"Apparently six clones can be a thing… oh! Starkoopa legend made it so that if you find an emotion that was lost for years, it can immediately manifest itself into it!" Gary said.
"Well, Perry will be staying with you, clones." Larry hugged Perry, finally feeling the joy he's lost many years back.
Ludwig went to his room and got out his laptop and went to a website for houses that are for sale.
"If you wanna live in a house that matches your nitch, you're gonna need a lot of rooms. Six, for that matter." Ludwig searched for the keyword "house with six bedrooms", and there was one for the price of $16,300.
"We have more than enough considering Bowser was filthy fucking rich when we were his slaves. I guess, uhm… five million." Larry went to his room to get the fundings card.
Terry walked up to Ludwig. "So, what do you wanna do when we say goodbye? Hopefully something special~" Terry rubbed Ludwig's cheek. "We'll see, Terry."
Larry walked back to the living room with Bowser's military debit card, albeit changed to Larry's personal card because of his connection with the bank. He handed it to Ludwig who pressed in the front numbers, the CVV, and the expiration date.
"And done. Someone will be here to pick us up in a couple minutes." Ludwig said. "To be honest, I will miss you guys, even though I met you and put you in a spell… kinda fucked myself over on that one."
Larry and Terry looked at each other then back to Ludwig.
A few minutes later, a taxi arrived, and it was big enough to fit nine people, surprisingly.
Larry and the others got in the taxi and rode to the new house.
"We're here. Now, this house is pretty big to say the least." The taxi driver said to the others.
"Now that I look at you, you're Michael Koopa, right?" Ludwig asked.
"Uh, yeah. Any reason why you asked?" Michael blushed.
"No reason, just curious." Ludwig looked out the window to the house.
Michael parked the car and shut it off.
Larry, Ludwig, and the clones got out of the car and took a little tour.
"This house looks relatively new. Luckily, I can pay for furniture and stuff." Larry flicked out the debit card and put it back in his shell.
Michael led the crew into the house, showing them the rooms.
"We'll start smallest to biggest." Michael said.
"Yippee! I love this house so far!" Perry jumped in joy.
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" Barry thought to himself.
"Anyone want the smallest room?" Larry asked.
"I'll take it." Jerry walked slowly into the room.
"And the next door room, the second smallest will belong to who?" Michael asked.
"Hmph. Bitchin'." Barry ran into his room and thought of a punching bag with a picture of Harry's face on it. "Yeah. Hmhmhmhmhahaha! AHAHAHAHAHA!" Barry laughed maniacally.
"I'm getting a room far away from Barry, r-right?" Harry asked, scared completely out of his wits.
"Yeah, room next to the bathroo-" Harry ran into his room, interrupting Michael.
"OK, three left. Who wants what?" Larry asked.
"I guess I'll take the third largest room~ I heard people like it when their partner has a medium sized room~" Terry giggled and wiggled his tail.
"Ooh! I'll take the second largest!" Perry rushed over to his room and rolled on the floor like a dog.
"Then that means Gary gets the biggest room." Larry pointed at Gary's room.
"Dude, sick. Hey, can you buy me a gaming PC and an iPhone Xs Max?" Gary asked.
"Yeah, sure." Larry shrugged.
"I hope you guys liked the house. Larry will invite some interior decorators for each room, and he'll give you guys some requested things. And judging by Terry's outfit and attitude… well, I can assume it's… uhh…" Michael blushed, trying to put what Terry wants into words.
"New outfit, dildos, other sex toys, yadda yadda yadda." Larry helped Michael say what he wanted to say.
"Y-yeah, that…" Michael blushed harder.
"Alright, guys, I'll be inviting some interior decorators and furniture people this evening! And I will pay for what you guys want as well! Let's go back home for a few days!" Larry yelled, letting the others know.
"We're coming!" The clones yelled.
"You know, you're a pretty competent leader of these guys, Larry." Ludwig admired Larry's leadership.
"Hehe, thanks, Ludwig. Guess those days of leading the Koopa Troop are paying off. Even though I was forced to." Larry looked to the ground.
"It's okay, Larry. You have your new Troop right here in this house. Nothing is going to change that. I still love you very much, Larry." Ludwig gave Larry a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you very much, Ludwig. Come on, let's go back home." Larry purred.
Larry and the others got back into the taxi, Michael driving them back to Larry's house.
Upon arriving, Ludwig's car was there as well, meaning the other Koopalings were back as well.
Larry rang the doorbell, and was greeted by Lemmy.
"Hey, Larry! We got a lot of groceries, and I, being your uhm… master that one day… why do I remem- I got you some new girly outfit things." Lemmy handed him a bag with two pairs of striped stockings and shoulder gloves. One blue and cyan, and one blue and navy. As well as a new lube bottle and a bullet vibe.
"Did people look at you funny when you got this?" Larry asked.
"I was kinda discreet on that. And yes, I know that you already have that color, but they go up higher!" Lemmy got the thigh highs and gloves out of the bag.
"I noticed that you got a darker shade, Lemmy." Larry noticed the darker colored leg and armwear.
"I was always curious on what I'd look like in stripes." Ludwig took the stockings and gloves and took them to his room for later.
"Who are those behind you, Larry?" Lemmy noticed different hairstyles behind Larry's head.
"Oh, these guys? Meet the Larries, Lemmy." Larry pointed out the different Larries behind him.
"We got Gary," "Hi."
"Harry," "H-hi?"
"Barry," Sup, bitch?!
"Jerry," "Hello."
"Terry," "Hi~"
"And last but not least, Perry." "Hiyee~!"
"They're all unique, but I like Terry the most. He's just so me~" Lemmy purred.
"You made me who I am today, Lemmy~" Terry crooned.
"They're all gonna be out of this house, it was fu- I mean, we literally only met for an hour, but it was fun while it lasted." Larry patted Perry's hair.
"Larry, what's the password to your iPh-" Iggy stopped in his tracks when he saw the clones.
"Nevermind!" Iggy walked backwards.
"Do they have a place to stay?" Lemmy asked.
"Yeah, on the way back, I called up some people to decorate the house and set up the furniture. They said it'll take a week and a half, so these guys can stay for a bit." Larry shrugged.
"Well, okay! I'll teach Terry some new tricks in the meantime~" Lemmy stared at Terry with every sexual intention in the book.
"If anything, he looks like the type of person who'd be very skilled on the pole, so you can show him your skills, Lemmy."
"Good idea! Now, come in for dinner. It's ramen night tonight." Lemmy led Larry into the house, as well as the other Larries.
