“Oh sure, go ahead and sweep it under a rug, much like the problems you had before,” he scoffed. “Always desiring to have something, you Royals are all the same,”
“Problems I had before? This is the only real problem I’ve ever had in my entire life…since all the others could easily be solved with power or magic. And I’m not sweeping it under the rug, I’m just thinking about the source of my problem.”
“First real problem? Are you that serious?” he asked, glaring at the other.
//Niko as he is currently.//
“You and your problems..peh, how pathetic you sound for a former King,”
“You’re too young to understand.”
“Oh sure, go ahead and sweep it under a rug, much like the problems you had before,” he scoffed. “Always desiring to have something, you Royals are all the same,”
“You and your problems..peh, how pathetic you sound for a former King,”
"What are you doing, Lemmy? You can't let their words sway you! You desire to be noticed by your brothers by doing something right and now, you're going to throw the one chance away?"
Lem stared down at the gem in his hands. This tiny little shard had given him so much power, yet he didn’t know what to do with it. “I’m not sure. I mean, being able to cast Magic is great and all, but if it means hurting Larry, I don’t think I should keep it. It’s true that I did hate Yosuke for taking my brothers’ attention away from me, but now that I’ve had time to think, I don’t think I hate him as much. He’s still annoying, but now that we’ve settled our differences, he’s kind of grown on me.”
“Such weak feelings,” he scowled at the Koopaling. “You are just as weak as him!” He unsheathed his Magisword as he continued,”Oh well, such as the fate of the Royals. Your Kingdom, like all Kingdoms, are meant for ruin at some point; a shame really. We could had made the perfect Kingdom but I guess that is only merely a fantasy that would never come true because you are weak and you will always be weak,”
Niko was going all out on mocking the Koopaling. He spared no mercy to his ears on the reality of things in general.
“And you know what happens to the weak?” he asked as he was ready to strike. “They die!”
He swung his Magisword at Lemmy to attempt to stab at a vital point.
//Who knows what Niko would do next? Well, whatever it is, it’s not going to good.//
“Lemmy, you insignificant fool!”
"Hehehe. You're a bit /too/ late," (Parith)
“It’s never too late,” Parith responded with a scowl. “Master Lemmy may be impulsive and prone to moments of whimsy, but he has a conscience, dammit!” Calming down, he rested one hand over his heart. “He turned around once before; I know he can do it again.”
The force of the throw threw off his hoodie, revealing his black face, white hair and fairskinned muzzle. His fangs are in the same fashion as Larry in general. However, even so, he chuckled as he got up from the ground, only to touch his muzzle with his hand where he got punched.
“You are a fool,” he replied before his magical aura became visible as well as the mark of the Crystal Star, emitting a strong darkness, on his forehead. Soon after, he continued as he said,”He is weak and he will always be looked down by others, including his own brothers..the desire in him to be noticed as a somebody. Once his conscience is fully nullified, there will be no stopping him and I..hehe..I will be ruler that will decide the fate of many!”
At this, his own hands flared up with the aura before he sent a barrage of magical flames over to Parith as an attack.
That star mark, what was it? Could it be he’s actually a Dark Magikoopa, or was there more to him than first impressions would have it?
He deftly avoided the flames and pulled off a spinning slash before going all out. “You will be the ruler of nothing! If anyone is to decide Lemmy’s fate, it shall be me!” As he attacked, he occasionally stepped back, keeping a safe distance in case the Koopeleon tried to counter, then jumping back into the fray.
He didn’t have a hard time dodging Parith’s attacks, but eventually got slashed with only a minor injury, however that didn’t stop him from bringing out an alternate Lemmy’s wand, which transformed into a specialized Crystal Magisword in an instant.
“You can go on and deny it, but I will be the one that will see to your downfall!” he exclaimed as he charged at the Parakoopa, only to clash swords with Parith.
"Hehehe. You're a bit /too/ late," (Parith)
“It’s never too late,” Parith responded with a scowl. “Master Lemmy may be impulsive and prone to moments of whimsy, but he has a conscience, dammit!” Calming down, he rested one hand over his heart. “He turned around once before; I know he can do it again.”
“..and how would you know?” asked the voice before the culprit appeared out of nowhere, due to his camouflaging ability.
There was the Koopeleon however, his general appearance was much more different than of any other times. His eyes had double irises, one ring of green surrounded around the small black pupil, he has grown taller and wore raggedy clothing around him as well as shoes; his face was well hidden by his hoodie.
“Besides, I don’t know how long that conscience would exist,” he chuckled before he made a emerald crystal shard appear out of nowhere and looked to it before he looked to Parith. “He was desperate, I gave him power, however I added in a little something for the price to make things interesting,”
He closed his fist and the crystal turned grey before it turned to dust that fell on the ground. “Now knowing the way I go, it’s almost as if he’s doing it for me. Isn’t that amusing?”
Those green eyes, that smug tone, everything about him rubbed him the wrong way. But his words were what pushed him the most. He grabbed the Koopeleon by the collar and shook him. “What the hell did you do with him?” BAM! A swift punch against the face. “Whatever you did, I won’t let you get away with it!” Throwing him to the ground, he unsheathed his sword and continued. “Lemmy, she… he would do the right thing. I know it. Lem’s stronger than you think.”
The force of the throw threw off his hoodie, revealing his black face, white hair and fairskinned muzzle. His fangs are in the same fashion as Larry in general. However, even so, he chuckled as he got up from the ground, only to touch his muzzle with his hand where he got punched.
“You are a fool,” he replied before his magical aura became visible as well as the mark of the Crystal Star, emitting a strong darkness, on his forehead.

“Aww! Aren’t you just a cutie!”
Wendy, I don’t think he’s safe to flirt with. Even so..
“What do you want? Are you here to only flirt with me?” he asked with an annoyed sigh. Then again, he could disappear on her to get her started up. Basic trickery 101.
"Hehehe. You're a bit /too/ late," (Parith)
“It’s never too late,” Parith responded with a scowl. “Master Lemmy may be impulsive and prone to moments of whimsy, but he has a conscience, dammit!” Calming down, he rested one hand over his heart. “He turned around once before; I know he can do it again.”
“..and how would you know?” asked the voice before the culprit appeared out of nowhere, due to his camouflaging ability.

He closed his fist and the crystal turned grey before it turned to dust that fell on the ground. “Now knowing the way I go, it’s almost as if he’s doing it for me. Isn’t that amusing?”
“The Bandits, such weaklings for a small-time gang; too bad they failed to see the irony of betrayal. I deserve better at most, someone I can find as useful to keep an eye on things. Hmm, time to get to work,”
"Ah, it's so /nice/ to see you again,"
“I would say the same. Been quite a while, hasn’t it?”
“Yeah, no doubt,” he yawned as he laid back against the wall. “I work alone now due to certain..circumstances, so it’s just me and you. No interruptions,”
“They’ll be at each other’s throats in a matter of Time. Oh, how enjoyable will that be! Hmmhmm,”
Do you often get criticized by your family, Lemmy? If so, who?
LEMMY: … Pretty much everyone at some point. Mostly Ludwig, but all my brothers had something to say about me, and not always in nice ways. I’ve tried to fix myself, to change and learn, but nothing ever seems to stick. I guess I just deserve to be hated.
Niko smiled back as he replied,”Now, that shard only will work on you and you alone. Whatever you do, use it well. In fact, I have a suggestion, a friend from a friend pep talk ordeal: why not show this so called Yosuke a lesson? Surely, you will gain the respect of your brothers back given time. Show them that you deserve better recognition,”
By more recognition, he meant by more misery to the Royal Koopa family. Since after Lemmy made his wish, it’s only a matter of time before something ends up in a backfire and Niko is sure to make it happen.
“If you can do that, we will be friends forever,” he replied.
By friends, he meant by Lemmy being his personal little puppet to attack the Koopa family. His shard, as much as it has positive magical energy, is actually leaking out the corrupted force from the Emerald Crystal Star. It would be a matter of Time..
He stared at the shard again, becoming a bit wary. “Kamek told us not to trust unfamiliar Magic. If I try to get even with Yosuke, my brothers would get mad at me. But on the other hand, he needs to be knocked down a peg or two.”
The pulsating beat of the shard’s magic gave him a gradual boost in confidence. “That sissy monkey thinks he can do anything he wants just because he’s got ties to the Koopa family?” He clutched it tightly in his clenched fist. “Well, two can play at that game!”
That was exactly what Niko wanted to hear and with a nod, he replied,”Exactly, you deserve to be looked up to. Don’t ever let that monkey ruin your family ties! Show him a thing or two on getting in the way! Do anything you can to make sure that you are their priority, not him! Don’t ever back down, give him something to tremble at!”
The aggression from the Royal Koopa, ah what a wonderful sight to behold, especially for Niko. He was only fanning the flames to Lemmy’s confidence.
