Ep. 2: The Village Hidden Under The Shell
After taking a short nap, Green was seen walking back into the front room. "Ahhh…What's up guys?" he yawned lazily. Green then noticed Black, Yellow and Red sitting around suitcases, placing things inside. "Hey? W…What's going on?"
"How about shutting the hell up and grabbing a suitcase, dude!" Red moaned, as he continued to place many things inside his suitcase, which was brown with a huge letter R in front.
"Err…Alright! No need to get all offensive," Green groaned, pulling a suitcase outta a dresser. "Where are we going, anyways…No. The real question is: Where did you get the money?" he said, turning to Red.
"We're going on vacation, Green!" Yellow giggled, picking up his Spongebob shaped suitcase as he started jumping around, annoyingly. "It's gonna be so COOL, right Black?"
"Damn straight, son!" Black gruffed. "We're gonna do this shit with brotherly love…Or else!" he then started eyeballing Green. "I know how you are, Green!"
"…And, what's that, Black?" However, Black just glared at him. "Ehhh…imbecile." Green sighed, turning away from Black "…Wait, a vacation?" he then turned Red. "What vacation is he talking about, Red?" he sighed.
Yellow was just about to say something else, but Red came from behind, picking him up and then tossing him into a wall in the background. "Dude, not a vacation…Well, at least not for Black." Red said, giving Green the thumbs up.
"What are you talking about, Red?" Green sighed, staring annoyingly at him.
"Dude, we're going to Gritzy Desert to enter Black in that martial art tournament thing we saw on television." Red snickered. Black just folded his arms, while nodding. "He's going to do all the fight for us, while we stand at the sideline, safe, watching as Black murderlize those other saps! Dude, it's gonna be so AWESOME."
"Wait? You're telling me that you were SERIOUS when you said that we really were going back to Gritzy Desert?!" Green gasped.
"That's right, dude. That's the only way I'll be able to get my…Err…I mean…Yeah, my money." Red then tossed his suitcase over to Black. "C'mon, guys, let's get going. It's a long way from here in, Shroom Jersey, to Gritzy Desert." Red, Yellow, and Black then started their walk to the exit.
They were almost to the exit, until Green suddenly stopped them. "Wait, Red!" Green yelped. "Don't you remember the other place that's located in Gritzy Desert?"
"Yeah, dude, I think it was like a stage in Mario and Luigi: Partner in Time…or something like that!" Red said, scratching his head. "Enough pattering, dude! My money awaits me…In Gritzy Desert!"
"Wait, what?" Green said, but Red and the others had already left. "Red! Wait for me!!" Green shrieked, running outside. "Ohhh…I have a bad feeling about all of this…"
Meanwhile, faraway from the Koopa Bros' home in a place located in the Gritzy Desert.
There sat a small village southeast from the Koopaseum, this village was called, The Village Hidden Under The Shell. This village was also the hometown/birthplace of the Koopa Bros. (Yes, I'm well aware of Koopa Village from Paper Mario 64, but that's way before those events)
The Village Hidden Under The Shell was well known for training and raising topnotch Ninjakoopas, excluding the Koopa Bros…But I am not saying that they're topnotch ninjas, though.
The village was also known for its incomparable beauty, despite being located in a desert in the middle of nowhere. Many Koopa and Paratroopa were seen walking around the village, just go along their merrily selves.
Up on the highest part of the village, sat a huge rock formation shaped in a face of a Koopa Troopa with a scarf over his head.
An old Koopa Troopa was seen standing of the rock formation, staring up intently at the Ninjakoopa statue, he probably had been there since early that morning.
"Hohohoho, whenever I admire this monument, it always makes me reminisce about the village's past wars and how the first Koopkage lead are ninja clan to victory." he said, placing his arms behind his back. "Ah…How much our clan has matured since all those years ago…"
The old Koopa Troopa wore a white long hat, with a long cloth seen hanging from the back, he also wore a white long robe that went all the way down to the ground and always was seen hold his trademark wooden cane. This Koopa Troopa was the current Koopkage of the village.
"Koopakage sir, I don't mean to intrude on your alone time, but your grand…Umm…I mean Kosumi has requests to speak with you, sir." A female Koopa Troopa said, suddenly appeared in front of the old Koopa Troopa. "She says that it's urgent."
"Okay, then. Let's see what she has to divulge with me." the Koopakage smiled, while walking over to the young Koopa. "Let's depart, posthaste."
"Sir," the female Koopa saluted. With that said and done, The Koopakage and the female Koopa disappeared.
They both reappeared inside the Koopakage's office. Another female Koopa Troopa was already inside the room waiting for them to return, impatiently. "Humph. Well, it's good to see that finally decided to come back, since it took you forever to do such a simple task." the other female Koopa huffed.
"Ma'am, I apologize for my lateness…" The female Koopa said, before motioning over toward the Koopakage. "B…But no worries right? I have returned with Koopakage, just like you requested." she then bowed.
"True…" Kosumi replied. She then noticed that the female Ninjakoopa was still standing in the room. "Well, what are you still doing here? You're dismissed." she said, turning away from the female Ninjakoopa. "I would like to speak alone with the Koopakage about this matter."
Kosumi wore a mask, scarf, and gloves like the Koopa Bros., but hers was pink, the same color of her shell. However, she was very cold and distance, and always wanted things to be done by the rules.
"Y-Yes, ma'am…" The female Ninjakoopa said, slowly backing away. "I'm sorry for disturbing your time, Koopakage sir." she muttered, before disappearing.
"Such incompetence." Kosumi muttered. The pink-shelled Koopa Troopa then bowed down in front of the old Koopa Troopa as she turned toward him. "Sir, I'm sorry for disturbing your time, but this was important and couldn't wait any longer."
"Hohohoho. Please, my child. Raise to your feet." the old Koopa Troopa huffed, rocking back and forth in his chair. "No need to be so formal with me."
"Please forgive me, Koopkage sir!" The female Koopa said, rising to her feet. "I wasn't trying to disrespect you in any way."
"C'mon, I'm serious, my honorable granddaughter, there's no need with all this Koopakage nonsense." Kookage chuckled. "Couldn't you just call me grandpa or just Kroops?"
"Koopakage sir, I implore, please refer to me as my first name, Kosumi." Kosumi said. "No need to disrespect, but I find that more appropriate when addressed in that manner."
Koopakage just sighed, as he sat down in his chair. "Uhh…You're still the same uptight, always serious little girl, who works all day and never stop to have any fun." he then chuckled, while stroking his long white beard "…No wonder you haven't been able to find a boyfriend."
"Uhh…How dare you, sir? No need to disrespect, but I do believe my personal life isn't any of your concern." Kosumi muttered, while blushing slightly. "In actuality, I find all of those things a bit irrelevant."
"Uhh…Soooorrrryyyy…I wasn't trying to offend you, dear." Koopakage chuckled, folding his arms. "But seriously, if don't find one, how are you gonna bring me grandchildren one of these days? You are gonna have to settle down eventually"
Kosumi just stared her grandfather and sighed. "Koopakage sir, you should already know this: But, our top priority should be assuring the safety of the village, at all means. Listen sir, I'm not trying overstep my boundaries, but I do find your negligence of the matter…a bit disturbing."
"Uhh…You know what they say, dear: All work and no play makes you a dull boy…Well, in this case, it's makes you a dull girl…" Koopakage sighed, as Kosumi continued blathering away.
"…Which makes us come to the matter of this…" Kosumi said, ignoring what her grandpa just said. "As I was going through some of the files from the past, I happened to stumbled across something that caught my attention." Kosumi said.
"…Something that caught your interest, you say?" Koopakage sighed, leaning up to his cane. "And what exactly would that be, my granddaughter?" Kosumi then cleared her throat annoyingly. "Uhh…I mean 3rd ranked Ninjakoopa, Kosumi…" he sighed
Kosumi was just about to answer, when suddenly a Koopa Troopa with a light blue shell appeared into the room. "Sir, 2nd rank Ninjakoopa, Koopsuke Koopa, reporting in, sir!" Dynamite saluted.
Koopsuke Koopa (aka Dynamite) was a veteran Ninjakoopa with tons of experience in the way of ninjitsu; he was MUCH older than Kosumi and he was also the teacher who taught the Koopa Bros. their ninjitsu. Dynamite wore a white headband that covered half of his face, he always seemed really lazy and laidback.
Dynamite then turned and quickly noticed Kosumi staring at him with her arms on her hips. "Oh…I'm sorry. I didn't know you any company…" Dynamite chuckled. "How are you doing anyways, Kosumi? Haven't seen you in awhile."
"AHHHH…Koopsuke, so good of you to join us." Koopakage smiled, staring at the veteran Ninjakoopa. "Kosumi was just about to…"
"Dynamite-Sensei! You're intruding here." Kosumi huffed, interrupting Koopakage. "You need to leave, immediately."
"Hmmm…Well, it's good to see that you're still as haughty as ever, Kosumi." Dynamite chuckled, much to Kosumi's chagrin. You see, Kosumi was also Dynamite's pupil, she and the Koopa Bros. both study under Dynamite at the same time.
"Nonsense!" Koopakage huffed. "Come now, Kosumi dear, don't be so rude. I mean, I'm sure that Koopsuke might be interest in this tidbit of information you just recently stumble across. I mean, he is a reliable shonbe after all."
"Information, sir?" Dynamite said. He then turned toward Kosumi. "Are you hiding something for me, Kosumi?" he chuckled.
However, Kosumi just ignored Dynamite and turned straight toward the Koopakage. "Listen sir, do you remember about the incident with the four traitorous Ninjakoopas that thought that it would be wise to betray and attack the village two years ago?"
Dynamite just stood there staring at her. "…Wait, I think she's talking about Red and the others…" Dynamite said to himself.
"Uhh…Yes, I do. But why?" Koopakage muttered, scratching his head.
"While going through that file, I noticed that you haven't taken any action in apprehending these rogue ninjas yet." Kosumi sighed.
"Umm…Well, yeah…" Koopakage said, scratching his head.
"I don't understand, sir!" Kosumi shrieked. "Why are you being so lenient? May I remind you that those Ninjakoopas are from this village! They could be holding some of our village most vitally of secrets and could be sharing them with our most dangerous of enemies."
Kosumi also held a grudge against Red. Apparently, he did something horrible to her while they were both growing up and she still hasn't been able to get over it yet, but that's another story.
"This situation shouldn't go on disregarded!" Kosumi said firmly, slamming her fist down to the desk. "I suggest that we send the finest of our tracker Ninjakoopas out to bring back the renegade Ninjakoopas that got away."
"Hmmm…" Koopakage murmured.
"Uhh…Don't you think that you're blowing this thing just a little bit outta proportion?" Dynamite sighed, leaning up against the wall.
"E…Excuse me?!" Kosumi said turning to Dynamite. "I…I don't remember asking you for your opinion, Dynamite-Sensei!"
"Come now, Kosumi, let's see what Koopsuke has to say." Koopakage huffed, while crossing his arms.
"Thank you, sir." Dynamite chuckled, walking over to the two Ninjakoopas. "Before betraying the village the highest rank those Ninjakoopas were able to obtain was the 4th ranked, and when they did tried attacking the village, they were beaten so thoroughly, that it was sorta pathetic. I think I speak for everybody when I say: They wouldn't be much of a threat."
"But, that was then!" Kosumi yelled. "How do you know they haven't gotten stronger since they left the village? They could be scheming as we speak!"
"If I can remember correctly, wasn't me who single handedly defeated them?" Dynamite sighed. "If they truly are plotting against the village, don't you think that they would already tried making an attempt in attacking us?"
"That's exactly what I'm trying to say, Sensei! I want to stop them, before they DO become a potential threat to the village." Kosumi yelled. "Oh, why am I trying to explain myself! You've always favored Red over me, even during our training at the academy!"
"Oh…I've should of known. It always has to about you, doesn't it Kosumi?" Dynamite said, shaking his head. "I don't understand it; you've always been so competitive with Red, even when growing up as two small Koopas. What you need to do is this: stop holding onto to the past and move on with your life."
However, Kosumi just growled, while balding up her fist. "You see, even right now you're doing it. The only reason why you're disagreeing with is because you're trying to protect that mindless idiot."
"But, Koopsuke does strike a reasonable point." Koopakage said, finally intervening. "I do believe that you're taken all the wrong unnecessary precautions on dealing with this situation."
"But…Koopakage, sir." Kosumi said turning back to old Koopa. "Certainly, you understand where I'm coming from with this? So please hear me out, will you please accept my request?"
"Listen, the only reasons why they're even in marked down are, because it's my job, as Koopakage, to keep a record of everything that happens in this village, threat or no threat." Koopakage said. "I'm sorry, dear, but I'm gonna have to refuse your request."
"FINE! Go ahead and deny me!" Kosumi yelped, her face red from anger. "But, when they DO finally decide to attack the village, don't be expecting on me to help you! You've all only be getting what's deserved!" she then disappeared.
"…Hmm…That's some granddaughter you got there, sir." Dynamite chuckled, heartily. "She's so headstrong."
"Listen, Koopsuke." Koopakage said. Dynamite immediately turned facing him. "Please go and keep under close surveillance her for me. Make sure she don't go and do anything rash, okay?"
"Who? Me?!" Dynamite sighed, pointing at himself. "B…But, if I did tried stopping her, she still wouldn't had listened to me. You know how tenacious she can be…" he then muttered under his breath. "…I really don't want to deal with that kinda person right now…"
"Believe me I know, I know EXACTLY how stubborn she can REALLY become." Koopakage sighed. "But, please, just do this as a favor for me, okay?"
"Um…Okay, but I'm not gonna like it, though!" Dynamite said reluctantly, before vanishing right in front of the Koopakage.
