A/N: Hello again guys! Lemmy Koopa here with the next chapter of I'm Not A Proper Koopaling. In this chapter Kyle brings Lemmy to Kamek for healing, Junior experiences some family tension, Kyle pranks someone, and Lemmy hears a family conversation that finally pushes him over the edge. I'm probably copying the last one XD. Also this chapter mildly breaks the fourth wall.
"I found him in the gym." Kyle said as he set the fainted Lemmy onto an infirmary bed in Kamek's room.
"Who the Stars did this to him?" Kamek asked angrily.
"Roy and Morton were already beating him up. Junior told me he needed some new features added to his Clown Car for a battle, and I obliviously agreed. He used the Clown Car to attack Lemmy! I don't get it! Lemmy is the nicest one in this castle, and he always has a smile on his face! He was born with a disability and people hate him for it! Why do people always hate the nice ones?" Kyle rapidly questioned the sky.
Kamek sighed. "That is the way destiny intends it to be. The greatest heroes must overcome the hardest struggles." He then turned to Kyle. "Well, Lemmy should be ok for now. Go take care of Junior." Kamek ordered.
Kyle nodded and left the room. Kamek faced Lemmy. "Oba, wiba ciba, overused john cena, kawaiabee, obli do!" Kamek chanted under his breath as he cast his wand towards Lemmy. Lemmy levitated, his blue and black bruises healing like magic… because they were being healed with magic.
Kamek pulled back a chair and the latest edition of Koopa Monthly. He sat back and relaxed, waiting for Lemmy to wake up.
Junior was wandering down a hallway, smirking. He had beaten up Lemmy and given him a small portion of the pain Junior felt every time the Marios defeated them.
He walked down another hallway… and bumped right into Kyle, who was fuming mad.
Junior realized the threat and tried to run away but it was too late. Kyle picked him up with his arms and looked Junior in the face. "Hey there liar." Kyle hissed through grit teeth.
Junior sheepishly smiled. "I said it was for a battle right! And a battle we did!"
Kyle's expression went full rage mode, his eyes bursting into flames. "You said it was for a battle with the Mario brothers. Not with Lemmy." Kyle hissed, trying to keep his calm.
Junior looked around and spotted Iggy and Wendy walking down another hallway. The infamous Skylar phenomenon had already passed through the castle and Junior whistled.
Wendy and Iggy looked around. "What was that?" Iggy asked.
"I don't know, let's go check it out! Maybe it's Kyle!" Wendy said.
The sound of Iggy trying to run away, and Wendy grabbing him by his spikes was heard. "Oh no you don't! Now come on!"
Kyle heard the dialogue. He stared Junior with an icy glare. "I'll be back you liar." Kyle said as he turned into his Shell form and skidded off.
Wendy and Iggy finally came into the hallway, Wendy holding Iggy above her. "Junior, have you seen Kyle anywhere? I have an… experiment to try on him." Iggy said, Wendy pinching his neck.
Junior nodded. "He just skidded off in his shell form into the hallways."
Wendy growled. "So he wants to play hard to get? He can play hard to get!" Wendy turned into her Shell form, forced Iggy into his Shell form, and the two skidded off after Kyle.
The sound of a bracelet snapping and necklaces disintegrating was heard as Iggy popped out of his shell and poured Iggy Serum over Wendy.
"IGGY!" Wendy yelled, frozen in her shell form.
Iggy smirked and ran off to his lab to record the new effects of Iggy Serum.
Junior, who watched this all, facepalmed at his siblings' childish antics.
The narrator, who was listening to all this, burst out in laughter. "Childish antics? You're a child Junior!"
Junior punched the narrator in the face and the narrator wisely shut up.
"The only people I haven't seen yet are Larry and Ludwig." Junior wondered aloud.
"Eh, Kyle is probably helping them. For the leader of the Koopalings, he is very helpful."
Junior wondered where Ludwig was.
Kyle was in his room, tired after running from Wendy. "Why is she so obsessed with HUMILIATING me?" Kyle asked the walls as he sighed.
Three quick knocks on the door. Kyle grinned. "Come in Larry!"
Larry the Koopa entered. "Kyle, want to come help prank with me?"
Kyle rose up. "Sure. Who are we pranking today?"
Larry held up two bottles of green hair dye. "Guess."
"Roy?" A shake of Larry's head. "Morton?" A thumbs down. "Junior?" A mimic of the thumb falling down a cliff. "Ludwig?" A nod.
"So here's how it will work. I'll distract Ludwig while you go into his shower and replace the shampoo and conditioner with the hair dye. And it's permanent!" Larry exclaimed.
Kyle smirked. "Prepare to face my wrath Ludwig!" The two dashed into the hallway.
Lemmy awoke in the infirmary. Kamek saw this an instantly bolted up. "K-kam-mek? Ho-ow l-long was I-I out?"
Kamek shushed the poor Koopa. "Only a couple of hours. Now rest, you are wasting your energy."
And with another magic spell, Lemmy fell into another sleep.
Larry was holding green hair dye and hiding in a vent right above Ludwig's room while Kyle knocked on Ludwig's door. "Ludwig?" Kyle read a note card. "I… need your help on something." Kyle was gritting his teeth.
Ludwig opened the door. "Ah yes Kyle. The only other sane Koopa in the castle. Where is the assistance needed?"
Kyle pointed down a hallway and the two started walking.
A figure in a black ninja outfit started coming down from the ceiling on a rope. The rope suddenly let loose, sending Larry on the floor with a soft THUD! sound. Larry groaned quietly and got up.
Larry entered Ludwig's bathroom and switched out the shampoo for the green hair dye. His mission done, Larry put back on the rope and tugged. The rope pulled up, Ninja-Larry out of sight.
A few minutes later, Ludwig entered his room and went into the shower.
The Koopalings were all in the castle and covered their ears when the wrathful screech of "LARRY!" was heard throughout the castle.
A few hours later Lemmy was cleared to exit the infirmary. "Now just take it steady Lemmy. Don't run anywhere or you'll get out of breath quickly." Kamek cautioned Lemmy, forgetting that Lemmy couldn't walk.
Lemmy nodded and got on his ball, exiting the infirmary. Kamek facepalmed.
Lemmy decided to go over to Ludwig's room when he heard a commotion outside Junior's room.
"I'm telling you dad, we should just get rid of him!" Junior complained in his room.
Lemmy, curious, peeked inside the door unnoticed. He saw Junior, Bowser, Roy, and Ludwig.
"He wastes our soldiers, he has killed the Marios not once, and he can't even walk! He's pathetic!" Roy whined.
Bowser sighed. "Remind me why you are bothering me again?"
Ludwig tore his claws down his face, leaving barely visible white streaks. "Because we want you to let him stay home. He'll have the time of his life and will stop being a casualty in battles!"
Bowser put his hand on his face. Lemmy gasped at Ludwig standing up for him.
Ludwig perked up due to his advanced hearing. "Did you guys hear that?"
Roy's stomach rumbled. "Sorry… I need lunch." He smiled sheepishly.
Junior groaned. "Ludwig, you're being too soft! We should just kick him out of Castle Koopa once and for all! Maybe even send him to those Mario brothers. Maybe they'll do something right for once and send him to St. Koopa!" Junior suggested.
Bowser groaned. "I'm not going to just kick Lemmy out of the castle. He's family!"
"But the rest of us hate him! Even Iggy!" Roy lied.
Lemmy did not see the lie however, and gasped. He ran away on his ball, having heard enough.
Ludwig spotted this and quickly ran out. "Lemmy? Lemmy come back, we didn't mean it! Roy was lying!" Ludwig chased after Lemmy until he ended up at a small window.
Lemmy was standing on the edge of the window and Ludwig gasped, realizing what Lemmy wanted to do. "Lemmy, don't do this! You have so much more of your life to live! Don't jump!"
Lemmy stared back, his eyes red with tears. "Don't bother Ludwig *sniff*, you'll only make it worse. Roy said it himself, every single one of you hates me!"
Ludwig was dumbstruck. It was true, sadly. He even had a secret Koopa Symphony called "The Death Of My Sibling."
However, he still kept trying. "What about Kyle? He was the one who brought you to the infirmary!" Ludwig exclaimed.
Lemmy sighed. "Did you hear me? Roy said every single one of you guys hates me! Kyle and Iggy probably just put up a facade! I'm done! Now I'll get out of your lives like everyone wants me to be! Can you understand me? I. Am. DONE!" Lemmy jumped.
Ludwig rushes to the window and tried to grab Lemmy but it was too late. Lemmy was sprawled on the ground, bleeding furiously.
"GREAT STARS!" Ludwig exclaimed as he ran downstairs and out the castle gates.
A/N: Yeah, I know that's kind of a cliffhanger. Will Lemmy die or survive? Who will be blamed, Lemmy or one of the other Koopalings?
Oh and for people who are wondering why Wendy is so obsessed with Iggy and Kyle, in this story Wendy sees Iggy as her go-to man for inventions. And Kyle isn't related to her so… she may have a small crush on him. So who's ready for the five stages of love?
Iggy: I'm pretty sure it's called the "Five Stages of Grief" but ok.
*sigh* Well, stage one Denial is next chapter!
Lemmy Koopa out!
