A New Game?

[Lemmy Koopa]

Lemmy was within his orange and yellow spiked shell, lying down on the ground. The Koopa inside has been asleep for awhile and as he started to motion, his eyelids started to slowly open up to be welcomed by not only the darkness but the sound of running water in the distance. Was there a nearby stream that he was unaware of? He wasn't sure but Omni seems to be one of those kind of guys that to Lemmy's mindset, might want a friend.

Might was the keyword to this because Lemmy isn't aware of the childlike God's intentions. Not yet that is.

While yawning to himself, the small Koopa eventually decided to bring out his head, revealing the colorful mohawk and the childlike demeanor he has before he turned, looking around the whitespace, only to spot a nearby water fountain, flowing out with the most clearest of clear sparkling with water. Seeing this wonderful sight  had the Koopa not only curious but wanting to have a closer look as he later brought out his arms with legs and tail following.

Now with pushing against the ground with his strong upperarm strength, it was enough to cause the Koopa to lift a good several inches before he brought himself to his feet, almost, if not nearly, falling over on his back of his spiked shell, however he would be able to get himself off of that situation pretty easily as he's known how to recover quickly.

In all honesty, getting to his feet was one thing but getting to the nearby fountain was another.

After done doing so with the eventual stretching out his arms and legs, he walked over carefully and as par of his playful nature, he immediately jumped in and started to kick the water around with his feet, giggling happily, oblivious to what he should be doing in the long run.

While he was playing and splashing around, what might the others think of Lemmy's sudden disappearance? In fact, what would Iggy say of it? The small Koopa didn't pay attention to that fact right now as he only wanted to fun before he momentarily sat down and splashed the water with his hands, wavering his head and eyes closed.

It would be awhile that he would notice something more to this little game.

Minutes would pass by and he was still playing until he began to slowly realize that he was actually alone. The splashing began to stop as he looked down at his reflection of the rippled water for awhile without blinking, long and hard, thinking, reminiscing almost as he began to reflect on the past where he was was with his seven other siblings, most notably with Iggy.

Oh, Iggy, what would the little Koopa do without him? They were practically inseparable and to be here..alone.

Honestly, without Iggy, Lemmy had nobody to tag along with or even be his security should he be harmed or otherwise. With a saddened sigh, further remembering the pranks and other things they did together, only caused the little Koopa to lower his head and close his eyes for awhile as small tears started to envelop, further streaming down his face and dripping into the fountain's water, giving into his emotions until he stopped..

What would Iggy tell him? Actually, what would he tell him right now?

The question caused Lemmy to freeze up in a delayed realization as he would hear Iggy's voice echo in his thoughts from one of his memories..

'No matter what happens, we are still together. Even though I'm not around, remember the good times we have and stay positive. I know you got this little big bro and believe me, I will come and find you.'

Lemmy slowly reopened his eyes as he saw his reflection again, still rippling, this time with tears. Eventually, he lifted one of his hands from the water and wiped away his tears with his arm before he lowered his arm while getting himself back up on his feet, sniffling a bit. His face was getting a little red but Iggy is right. Lemmy was always the stronger one out of the brother duo, if not like twins, and even if separated, there was always a way.

He would have to wait it out, just for now that is..though stars know how long that would be before he would reunite with his big little brother.

After splashing in the fountain, he leapt out with wetness on him, causing the small Koopa to shake himself off to dry before he started to look around the whitespace some more and this time, he was wondering about what Omni said to him. Something about Omnilium? Is that right? Well, it didn't matter but he can't help to hum in wonder as he crossed his arms.

This place was strange, but, if it's a place that Lemmy could grow used to in time, well, along with finding Iggy, he'll take to it by any means needed.  

While wondering, he was thinking of whatelse to do and despite of being delayed, he went to reach back in his shell to find his wand and when there wasn't one, he began to panic. He is essentially powerless without that wand that Kamek give to him and he started to search for it but it was nowhere to be found until he slowly started to realize what Omni meant.

Maybe..maybe he was testing him..and he didn't notice it until later because he was distracted with having fun to himself like the little kid he is but at the same time, he isn't because he is the second oldest of his siblings.

The small Koopa sighed and wondered for a bit, trying to remember Kamek's teachings, before he started to connect two and two together; while reaching out as he was to grab something, Lemmy stood still and focus, only to have his wand reappear after a good amount of ten seconds.

Due to Lemmy's fast reflexes, he caught the emerald wand with his claws and raised it up with great joy, only to lower his arm and put the wand away.

Now he's back in business.

[Lemmy Koopa]

After receiving the wand, Lemmy stopped in place as he saw the different Gates at the horizon and wondered.

The one gate that looked like it's a forest would be the likelihood of where Iggy would be at so the small made his way over towards that direction, humming to himself as he joyfully walked across thee whitespace. In actuality, he wonders what he'll encounter first; maybe if he's lucky, he'll actually see a unicorn or somebody else in the mix. Besides, the small Koopa would love to have some friends, maybe to cover up the reality that he's alone, so all he could do is just keep walking on at his own pace.

TWO HOURS LATER, AT THE TANGLED GREEN GATE..

Lemmy had approached and looked over the forest-like gate. Iggy does enjoy the lush green areas the most knowing his personality while Lemmy perfers the cold. As much as the snow gate was tempting to go into, Iggy is first priority, not unless he gets distracted as he has a tendency to due to selective memory, mostly because he has a habit to forget about even the most important of things. His childlike eyes looked all around and noticed others but he chose not to bother them; he has to do what he needs to do.

He sighed for a moment and before long, he walked into the swirling, purple portal, hoping for the best and not the opposite..
