Silverhowl
Chapter 5- The Powerless
Kamek was just finishing the DNA test when Bowser came into the lab and looked at the blood samples.
"What are you doing?" he inquired
"See, I was reading a book about Silverhowls and I found out they have special abilities" Kamek answered
"What kind of abilities?"
"Like super-velocity, freezing, and fire powers."
"That means we can use them against Mario?"
"Maybe, but the problem is that I think they still can't control them properly."
"Well, we have to train them!"
"First, I just made DNA tests to figure out which powers they have"
"Fine, I will fetch the children"
Meanwhile, in the Koopalings playroom, they were all busy in their own things. Ludwig was writing a new symphony, Iggy was working in his new invention, Larry was bouncing a ball in his tennis racket, Wendy was looking her reflection in a mirror, Roy was fighting with Morton, Lemmy was bouncing around in his ball and Junior was playing videogames. The Viperwolves were doing other things. Bites was biting a plush, Fox was napping, Shawn was scratching behind his ear with his back leg, Corey was playing with Jule, Sheryl was resting, Willy was eating a piece of leftover meat and DJ was next to Junior looking how he played. Bowser came in and looked at his eight children.
"Children, listen, we're having an important family meeting so stop doing whatever you're doing and come on. Oh, and ring your Viperwolves with you." He said before heading for the living room. The Koopalings stood up and went out of the room, their Viperwolves following them closely behind. Junior sighed frustrated and went out, DJ following shortly.
When everyone was present, Kamek and Nava came in.
"Alright, I need to tell you the reason of why all of you woke up and saw what you saw" he said
"So, they're sick or something?" Lemmy asked
"No… I found out that they posses special cells that give them special powers"
"Powers? Like a superhero? Well, it would rather be super-Viperwolves except that they don't wear masks or capes or disguises and don't fight exactly against-" Morton talked before Roy showed him his punch "-I'll shut up"
"Anyway, I made DNA tests on the Viperwolves to see which cell they have and I wanted to tell you"
"So? Tell us already!" Wendy exclaimed expectantly
"Corey possesses the Snowflake cell, which means he can control ice. Willy has the Chewing gum cell and can stretch himself, Fox has the Heracles cell and has immense strength, Shawn has the Chameleon cell and can become invisible, Sheryl has the shield cell and can use force fields, Jule has the Bio cell and has control over plants, Bites has the Velociraptor cell and can run at great speeds, Demon has the Avatar cell and can control minds and finally, Nava has the Foresight cell, which means he reads minds." Kamek explained
"Wow, that's great! Lemmy exclaimed
"Mario is going to be in great trouble!" Roy chuckled evilly
"And what about DJ?" Junior asked
"…Junior, sorry to say this, but… he has no power" Kamek answered sadly
"What?"
"He has no power cell, or at least it's not mature yet"
"Then when will it mature?"
"I don't know… maybe when he reaches puberty"
Junior was disappointed when he heard this, he had wanted to know DJ's power. DJ was apparently as sad too as he left the room, following his master.
"Poor Junior…" Lemmy whispered
"When exactly will DJ reach puberty?" Ludwig asked Kamek
"Maybe when he's two or three years old" Kamek answered
Meanwhile, Junior entered his room sadly, DJ following. They were both sad, Junior because he had hoped to have a super-pet and DJ because he was the only one in his family that didn't have any powers. They both felt the "black sheep" of their respective families. And Junior didn't want to wait until DJ reached puberty; he wanted him to get his powers NOW. And he got really angry when he didn't get what he wanted. He looked at DJ for a while and then looked away… he thought of something and grinned.
"Hey, DJ, we don't need to wait until you reach puberty… because we are going to help you get them sooner!"
DJ peered his ears and whined at first, but after a while wagged his tail excited.
"Alright, let's go!"
They both left to the garden, where they would secretly try to mature DJ's power cell sooner. DJ barked excited and walked a few meters away from Junior so he wouldn't hurt him.
"Alright, first let's try to see if it's the Snowflake cell." Junior said "try to freeze something"
DJ went next to a plant and blowed at it, but nothing happened.
"Maybe you need to get a bit cold, let's go for some ice"
Both then went inside the castle and to the kitchen, where Junior opened the freezer and DJ peeked his head inside. However, Larry was coming in and Junior had to close the door of the freezer, DJ entered in the freezer to hide.
"Hey, Junior, what are you doing in here?" Larry asked his younger brother as he and Bites came in.
"Err… nothing, I'm just… looking for a snack" Junior lied, hoping Larry wouldn't suspect anything.
"But you know dad doesn't like that we get snacks"
"I know… but…"
"Hey, speaking of which, where's DJ?"
"Uh… he is… playing outside, yeah! He wanted to play and went outside while chasing a ball"
"Okay… but try not to break anything or dad will be angry"
Larry then left with Bites following him. Junior sighed relieved and opened the freezer, poor DJ trembled and there was snow on his fur.
"sorry, boy, but Larry was coming in" Junior apologized
DJ just sneezed and trembled
"come on, let's see if it worked!"
DJ blew on a nearby plant to try and freeze it, but nothing happened.
"nope, I don't think you have the Snowflake cell. Let's try to see if you have the Chew gum cell… but for now, let's get you warmed up"
