Ludwig finally made it out of the desert area and went through another warp pipe. He was now in a rocky area where he was greeted by a group of Mini Goombas. Smirking, Ludwig stomped on them, stopping them. He then sat down to rest for a moment.
"I...I think I'm getting closer to them." Ludwig sighed. After resting, Ludwig stood up and walked through the area. He ran into a few Hammer Bros and Pokeys along the way. Ludwig was hit by a hammer, but stopped them and continued walking.
"Ludwig and Jasmine still aren't back yet?" Larry asked. Peach tried to keep everyone entertained so that Lemmy could rest after performing his circus tricks.
"Nope. I hadn't seen them." Sandra, one of Bowser's nieces, sighed as she looked out of the window again.
"We really gotta find a warp pipe that leads to their fortress." Iggy said.
"Daddy? Are they gonna be alright?" Tammy asked Iggy.
"Yeah sweetheart. Jasmine and Uncle Ludwig will be fine." Iggy smiled and kissed his daughter's forehead, making her giggle.
"He's gotta be close to rescuing her." Wendy whispered to herself.
Jasmine sat quietly in the cage, still annoyed that she couldn't break out. As she stared at the wall, she heard the door opening. She turned around and saw the two Toads entering the room.
"He's almost here." Justin said.
"Alright Luddy!" Jasmine cheered, making the two Toads roll their eyes.
"He's not gonna save you." Jade replied.
"Of course he is! You guys always lose." Jasmine smirked, making them annoyed.
"Shut up! We're gonna take over the Darklands and no one can stop us! Not even Ludwig!" Justin yelled.
"Heh. Keep telling yourself that." Jasmine chuckled. Justin, still mad, took out his wand and used his magic to shake the cage, making Jasmine hit against the bars.
"I said shut up!" Justin screamed. Jasmine glared at them as she rubbed her head.
After going through the rocky area, Ludwig made it to another forest. A Koopa Troopa and Goomba were resting near a tree when the Goomba spotted Ludwig. The two got up and ran towards the Koopa King. Ludwig stomped on the Koopa's head, picked up the shell, and threw it at the Goomba. He sighed and walked through the forest. When he looked up, he noticed a fortress in the distance.
"Finally! I'm almost there!" Ludwig started to run towards the fortress.
Before Ludwig could get close to the fortress, two Sledge Bros jumped from the trees, stunning him for a moment. Ludwig glared at them and dodged the hammers they threw at him. Ludwig was able to catch a hammer and threw it back at one of the Sledge Bros, knocking them out. He then spit out a few fireballs at the other Sledge Bro, defeating him. Ludwig then ran inside of the fortress, stopping any enemy that got in his way.
Ludwig opened a nearby door and saw a group of Hammer Bros inside.
"Hehe. I guess she's not in here." Ludwig thought. After dealing with the Hammer Bros, Ludwig left and went up the stairs.
"She must be at the top."
Jasmine stared at the door, waiting for Ludwig to arrive. Justin and Jade sat on the ground, cleaning off their wands. Jade looked towards the door as she heard someone running towards them.
"That must be him." She chuckled. The door burst open and the three saw Ludwig storm inside.
"Luddy! You're finally here!" Jasmine smiled. Ludwig takes a step closer towards the Toads, his face darkened.
"Let her go." Ludwig said. Jade chuckled.
"Only if you hand over your kingdom to us!" She replied. Ludwig growled, sending a chill down their spines. Then, Justin laughed.
"Come on Ludwig. Just give us the kingdom and-" Justin stopped his sentence when Ludwig spit a fire ball at them. Jade got out of the way, but Justin was hit. Justin pulled out his wand and aimed it at Ludwig. Before he could cast a spell, Ludwig spit another fireball at him, knocking Justin down again. Jade noticed that her partner wasn't getting up and panicked.
"A-Alright fine! Here!" She tossed the key to Ludwig and rushed over to Justin. Ludwig unlocked the cage's door and helped Jasmine out.
"Luddy! I'm so happy you made it!" Jasmine said and kissed Ludwig, making him blush. As they walked towards the door, Jasmine began to float in the air.
"W-What?!" She and Ludwig turned around to see Jade using her wand and Justin slowly standing up. She made Jasmine float towards her and Justin.
"We'll be at E Vile's place if ya want her Ludwig!" Jade laughed as she, Justin, and Jasmine disappeared to the Shy Guy's fortress. Ludwig stood in the room, furious as he stared at the spot that the Toads were standing at. Ludwig stormed out of the fortress and left to find E Vile's.
I will work on the next chapter soon!
