Monstro Town Dojo

Welcome to the Monstro Town Dojo, an RP blog centered around Jagger and his sensei Jinx from Super Mario RPG. After their defeat at the hands of Mario and his party, the duo worked hard to better themselves and hone their abilities. Once they think themselves ready, they plan to face Mario once again and show him what they've learned.

It really did feel like forever ago since they first met, and the Terrapin couldn’t help but reminisce about that day but a little bit. While revealing his part in the war against Smithy made things just a bit awkward, their friendship had flourished so much that his cowardice that day barely even mattered.

Jagger chuckled when Red offered to help him and Jinx in their time of need. “Heh, I’ll keep that in mind, dude. Thanks.”

The ninjakoopa continued, wishing for the both of them to be stronger and hoping for a future alliance when the time to face Mario came.

“Now that’s something I’d like to see. I’d pay coins to see the look on his mustached face if he realized he had to fight all six of us.”

When Red held out his fist, Jagger looked at it for a second and smirked. The Terrapin then weakly twirled his fist twice before bumping it against Red’s, imitating his old unit’s method of attack.

[monstro-town-dojo]

After following Red outside as per his instruction, Jagger couldn’t help but look around. He was absolutely awestruck by the view his best friend was showing him, and silently wondered if a lowly grunt like him was even authorized to be up here.

“Yeah, I can certainly see why you guys come up here.” he replied, looking over the castle. “Kinda reminds me of..before Smithy and his mecha-goons showed up, of Bowser’s old castle before a giant sword put a big honkin’ hole in its ceiling, heh heh. The view there wasn’t as...peaceful as this, though. Wonder what happened to that old place.”

His head dipped as he started getting lost in nostalgia. Before he could get too deep, however, he spotted Red staring wistfully at the sky from the corner of his eye.

“Somethin’ on your mind, Red?”

[monstro-town-dojo]

“Hm?” Jagger looked to Koopa Red as the latter called for him, smiling at his invitation to hang out. “Sure! We have some time before Sergeant Flutter comes back, I don’t see why not.”

Jinx looked up at his student. “Don’t be too long. You know how he is about punctuality.”

“Trust me, I wouldn’t dare be late after the last earful he gave me.”

[monstro-town-dojo]

“Heh, I doubt it’d matter all that much if everything you say about Black’s cooking holds true.” Jagger replied. “Which judging by the smell alone, it just might.”

After thanking the Bros for having them for breakfast, the two of them started eating. Jagger wasn’t particularly used to the cuisine laid out before him, as it was far different from his usual choice of breakfast. It tasted amazing all the same, however, and he quickly found just barely holding himself back from scarfing the delicious foodstuffs down.

Jinx, meanwhile, ate his food slowly to properly savor and appreciate the foreign flavors. The praises the Bros had sung about Koopa Black’s cooking definitely held true, and the minuscule master commended the young koopa for his culinary prowess when he was finished.

[monstro-town-dojo]

"Ha ha, of course! Almost getting my shell smashed in works up one of the biggest appetites!” he chuckled reaching behind his head, only to cringe and pull his hand up front and clutch it again. He quickly realized he idly scratched the back of his head with his sore hand.

Jinx raised an eyebrow and smirked before letting out a small chuckle. “I wouldn’t say I’m quite as hungry as my student, but I’m all for trying something new.”

[monstro-town-dojo]

I haven’t drawn for a while, have I? Well, how about I fix that?

This is a remake of a rather old (and terrible) drawing, as a sort of test to see how much I’d improved. You may find the original here, but I warn you, it’s bad. I also made the error of calling the attack aura Valor Up instead of Vigor Up. Oops.

[monstro-town-dojo]

“Jagger, while I’m impressed with how much you’ve improved since the last time I used my SIlver Bullet technique,” Jinx paused, crossing his arms, “it wasn’t necessary, nor wise, to challenge it.”

“I...I know.” Jagger winced, “I guess I was thinking about what happened last time, and just...really didn’t want history repeating itself.”

“Well, it’s good to see that you’re learning. Plus, you’ve put on quite the show for your friends, I believe.”

[monstro-town-dojo]

Jinx specifically targeted Jagger’s front, attempting to land a series of punches, kicks, and even sweeps in quick succession. The koopa managed to block the blows, but he was slowly driven back by the combined force. He soon saw an opening in his master’s assault and wasted no time in taking it by delivering a punch of his own.

Before it could land, Jinx disappeared, leaving an afterimage in his place and reappearing behind him. His hand glowed brightly as he charged a devastating attack. Seeing the circumstances as all too familiar, Jagger wound up his fist at the same time, his own fist glowing as he charged his dreaded Terrapunch.

An explosion rang out when the two fists collided, the two volatile auras dancing around each other before exploding and sending both fighters in opposite directions. Both of them landed on their feet and recovered with little issue, but the clash left Jagger clutching his hand in pain.

Jagger listened with a yawn as Red invited him to sleep on his old futon.

“Thanks, dude. Glad you’re letting us stay the night here!”

“Indeed. Your hospitality is appreciated.” Jinx agreed as he jumped onto the futon closest to him, quickly assuming a meditative position. “You were right, this is pretty comfortable.

“I’ll say.” Jagger sighed as he got on the other futon.

Koopa Black went on to offer his (and Red’s, supposedly) assistance if either of the two needed.

The koopa waved a hand dismissively. “Thanks again, but I wouldn’t want to wake you up!”

The younger twin gave them a nod and bade the two of them goodnight before going to sleep.

“Good night!” “Pleasant dreams.”

Jagger then curled up on the futon, taking only a moment before heading off to dreamland himself. His minuscule master, on the other hand, sat up and continued his meditation in silence.

5:30 AM was the Koopa Bros.’s usual time to start the day, although Koopa Bro, Black, was up even earlier to help prepare breakfast for the entire Troop. The three remaining brothers were already up and about, getting ready as quickly and quietly as possible as to not awaken the visiting pair, and headed out the door for their daily morning exercises.

A few more hours of the morning had passed before the sibling group returned, with Yellow entering the room first as he busted the door to their room open while pushing in a serving cart with trays of food.

“Breakfast is here! Get it while it’s hot” the third brother announced loudly, forgetting about Jagger and Jinx who may potentially be still sleeping.

“Shhhh, Yellow, don’t shout! You’ll disturb Jagger and Master Jinx!” Green chided in a hushed tone as he followed behind his older brother. 

“It’s like, what? Almost nine? I’m pretty sure they’d be up by then!” the Koopa Bro leader said as he went over to check to see if the pair are still slumbering, up and ready, or perhaps even missing from their sleeping spots to do some morning training of their own.

[monstro-town-dojo]

Jinx and Jagger weren’t sleeping, or even in the apartment. They were down the halls in the training room, doing a few morning exercises of their own. Sounds of punches, blocks, and kicks could be heard just outside of the room.

✨Promo for Galeem?✨

Heya! If you’d be interested to interact with a reformed Galeem, from SSBU World of Light, could you reblog this? Open to any fandom and OC, so long as you act nice~!

Obviously, spoilers will be present, so don’t blame me if you see something you’d rather not, you’ve been warned.

[monstro-town-dojo]

Jagger looked down at the floor, remaining silent for a few moments as if to pay his respects to the fallen. Jinx had done the same, but he was much more stoic than his student.

“I can’t say I know what that’s like.” Jagger dejectedly responded.

Jinx looked away. “I can, but this is neither the time nor place to go into that. What I can say is that while moving on can be tough, it’s much better to make the effort rather than letting the experience weigh you down. As for Green in regards to Kooper, all I can say is to, well, talk to him and put his fears to rest. I know it’s better said than done, but with you three to support him, I’m sure it would be leagues better than for him to tear himself up over an assumption.”

[ask-thecoolestofcool]

Black listened to Jinx’s advice and nodded, knowing that what the sensei said was true. He then directed his attention to the sound of a door opening and, sure enough, saw Red entering with nothing but his signature color undershirt. The older twin stopped briefly as he stretched his body and then sighed loudly in contentment. 

“Ahhh, that was great! So what’d I miss?” 

“You missed the part of cleaning up your trash when I asked you to.” Black gave a subtle glare at his twin before latter rubbed the back of his head, grinning wildly.

“Ahaha! My bad, Bro! I’ll get it next time, promise!”

“Forget about it. Since you’re here, you can at least help me set up the futons for Jagger and Master Jinx.”

From their unorganized pile of belongings, the twins managed to find their old futons that they had brought from their old home to Bowser’s Castle. The coffee table was moved to make room, and in no time, the mattresses were all set up in its place, complete with pillows and duvets, one colored red and the other black.

“That oughta do it!” Red said once they had finished, and offered Jagger to rest in his old futon. “They might not look like it, but they’re pretty comfy!”

After setting up, Black headed for his own bed, but not before speaking with the visiting pair for the last time tonight. “If you need anything else, feel free to let us know. Anyway, I’ll see you all in the morning.” The Koopa did a simple, single nod of his head before retiring for the night. 

[monstro-town-dojo]

Jagger listened with a yawn as Red invited him to sleep on his old futon.

“Thanks, dude. Glad you’re letting us stay the night here!”

“Indeed. Your hospitality is appreciated.” Jinx agreed as he jumped onto the futon closest to him, quickly assuming a meditative position. “You were right, this is pretty comfortable.

[monstro-town-dojo]

Jagger chuckled at Black’s comment. “I can help if you want.” he offered as he got to his feet.

[ask-thecoolestofcool]

Black shook his head as he motioned with his hand to have Jagger sit back down. “I appreciate it, Jagger, but you’re our guests. I can’t put you or Jinx through all that trouble.” 

In no time, the Koopa Bro cleared everything and set aside the trash to be dumped outside tomorrow morning. He then sat on the couch with the pair as he picked up and sipped his cup of Koopa Tea before resuming the conversation. 

“But in this case, I’ll let it slide for today. After all…” he took another sip and after putting his cup down, gave a small smile as he made eye contact with Jagger.

“… It isn’t often that Red gets to enjoy himself by having a friend over.” 

[monstro-town-dojo]

“It isn’t?” Jagger repeated. “That’s a bummer; he’s pretty cool koopa. When you’re on his good side, anyway.” His eyes widened as he realized what he just said. “Um...not that you, Yellow and Green aren’t cool, that is!” He rubbed his head as he chuckled nervously.

“Hm...what about that other guy? Erm...Kooper, was it? You guys mentioned him before, and you told me pretty good things about him, but I’ve never seen ‘im.”
