Late as it may be, I refuse to end my Koopa Week without the heir to the throne himself!

Years in the future, Bowser Junior's grown into a surprisingly mild-manned prince. His father's boldness and temper hasn't gone anywhere, sometimes fueled by nervousness about the crown and kingdom he'll one day call his. Luckily for him, his brother-in-law's always happy to lend an ear!

Saw this on my computer and had to immediately run to your inbox

You remember the Iggy pizza thing right? 💀

...What have you done.

"He... won't be able to tell it was from me. I didn't sign it, I masked my handwriting, everything will be fine..."

Ludwig was late, too, but thankfully I won't have to suffer his wrath, as he's more focused on something else at the moment!

This takes place in the same AU as what I drew for Bowser's day, wherein Dal has been a minion for a bit longer than his canon self. He has a standoffish demeanor while at work, but it looks like he's still managed to charm someone in the castle!

As confident as Lud typically is, when it comes to the affairs of the heart, he's kinda fragile. Two relationships have come and gone for him already, and he's not sure if he can handle a third going wrong. But... it wouldn't hurt to just leave a letter or two, right...?

Would a Koopa!Dalex with Maletone Formula: X be as scary as a shroobified Koopa!Dalex? o.o

A Koopa!Dalex infected with Malatone Formula:X would actually be even scarier than a Shrooblex.

For starters, Dal's status as part-Poison Koopa grants him a natural resistance to toxic substances. Things like poisoned water, poison mushrooms, and venomous enemies don't bother him, and in regards to the mushrooms, he regularly enjoys them as snacks. The only thing he'd really have to worry about is the venom of another Poison Koopa; he's vulnerable to it while a pureblood like his father or grandmother would be completely immune.

I'd imagine that this resistance would keep Dal safe from the Malatone Formula:X... at first.

Let's say he was captured once the BFFs noticed that a single dose wasn't working on him. They soon realize that the reason why is because he's not just some Boom Boom; he's a Poison Koopa. 'Thankfully,' him being a hybrid makes brainwashing him more of a small challenge than a lost cause: they probably just need to give him bigger doses!

So they do! As many as they feel the need to! Malodorous Fibbian breath is 100 times stronger than a measly mushroom, he can't resist it forever!

But as they slowly succeed in their little experiment, as Dalex starts showing the highly aggressive behavior they've been expecting, the BFFs forget about the base chemical in Malatone Formula:X... Skeletone Formula:D.

And what, pray tell, happened when someone else took too much Skeletone...?

Yeaaaaahhh.....

At first, the BFFs see no reason to worry. So the guy dried out, big deal! They've finally got him under control, the Malatone Formula:X is working well!

...It's working too well.

It doesn't take long for the BFFs (as well as Junior's team) to notice that the dried Poison Koopa isn't just attacking the opposing side. He's attacking everyone, almost like he can't tell the difference between friend or foe anymore.

Being subjected to such high concentrations of Malatone kicked Dal's sense of aggression into overdrive. He's less of a brainwashed minion and more of a wild animal, attacking anything and anyone on sight.

Shrooblex could still control himself and understood the concept of loyalty, even if it was towards Princess Shroob instead of Bowser.

But the Malatoned Dry Dalex? No loyalty. No restraint. Nothing.

Don't worry, the old Dalex is still in there somewhere. The question is, are his old allies strong enough to bring him back out...?

"Mama!"

"THIS IS TOO FREAKIN' RICH!!! I CAN'T BREATHE—!!"

Aaaand comin' in not one, but two days late for the final drawing of this year's Koopa Week is dear sweet B-Junes! As a baby!!

Dal's just realized a downside of babysitting: accidentally confusing the kid into thinking you're their other parent. It was bad enough that Prince Junior's first word was "Dolly," now he's calling Dal "Mom"?!

...You know what? After this, Dal's gonna use up a couple of his vacation days. This coupled with the letter he received a few days prior is... a lot for him to deal with. =w=""

[axewchao]

I wasn't kidding when I said Dal always cries whenever he gets mad.

It isn't something he can control very well, if at all; whether he's throwing someone's cruel words back at them, repeating whatever happened to himself in private, assessing a situation from a distance, or on the brink of succumbing to his rage, tears will fall without fail. If he's lucky, his hair can hide it, or he can blame it on dust/pollen in the air.

But we all know how bad of a liar he is. =_="

*Hands Dalex a Double Cherry 🍒* Hooray! Now we’ve got two Dally’s~ :Dc

Oh, sweet! There's two now!!

Can you guess which one is the real Dally? ;3
