Jr barely had time to take in the look of the device that this quack fitness instructor had just uncovered when a large hand scooped him up off the treadmill. Try as he might, he couldn't get the hand to release him until it dropped him into the jar, the lid screwing shut over top of him. He tried scrambling up the side, but the smooth glass provided no footholds for him to grab onto. He was stuck.

As soon as Jr hit the bottom of the jar, the lid began to press down on top of him. Pushing his arms up against it, Jr attempted to force the lid back up, grunting as it started to strain his limbs.

8EELjfzsp_1d20+1 (Jr's STR check: Success!)

It was straining on the Koopa Prince, but Jr managed to force the lid to a standstill....for now. And while he couldn't do much other then grit his teeth at what Flexer was saying, at least he was getting some kind of information. So they wanted to siphon energy from his workout? That line told him that he should stop what he was doing right now.....which he would have followed through if it didn't mean that he'd get killed otherwise. With nothing left to do but stew in his own anger, Jr focused his attention on not being crushed.

Though he was partially brought out of his stupor when a door hissed open, and he heard a familiar voice call from outside "S-Seriri?!" Jr stammered, though it wasn't very loud. He couldn't risk loosing his grip on this lid. he thought he heard Iggy out there too, but he couldn't be sure. Even so, there were people out there, trying to free him from this place! With that uplifting though in his heart, Jr doubled his efforts in holding up the lid. From the sounds of things, he'd need it.

With the background music winding down, Ludwig gazed assuredly into Kale’s eyes, expecting to find hearts in them. Instead he found insolence and disobedience.
“Was? How Dare you defy me?” It was a good thing his ego wasn’t shattered the way his expectations were, or else he’d need to be rescued from an existential crisis. His ear drums on the other hand.

He had to let her go to cover his ears, despite how much he wanted to throw her at the wall.
“Pardon me, would you kindly repeat that? I believe I had a death wish in my ear.” Ludwig cleaned his ear pretending not to hear Kaley’s insult, buying her enough time to show them where the prince was being held.

“Tasteless strumpet…” Ludwig grumbled behind his fangs. “Speaking of looker, just how much did those glasses cost?” He asked Iggy with a silent threat.

To admit how much seeing the ‘looker’ get blasted in the face with an explosion did to improve Ludwig’s move would be unprofessional.
“That’s quite alright Iggy, I’ve got this under control.” He cracked his clawed knuckles.

“Dieter. Congrats on finding that weight you lost.” He courteously greeted the leader. “Been brushing up on your German, have you? Then how about I say: Ich werde alle deine Muskeln dehnen und dich den ganzen Weg zurück nach Forstland humpeln lassen!” He threatened as he assumed battle stance.

Retreating into his shell and spinning, Ludwig quickly rolled past the false prince’s clone and headed straight for the main course. Not before trading his own Sonic Roar… of Fire!

First, to test out this ‘new and improved’ Malatone X, Ludwig set out to test its physical resilience. It looked fire proof, but what did a good old fashion spiked shell do to all that blubber?

Using this momentum to roll up the side of the blob into the air, Ludwig came out of his shell and slammed back down onto its head before returning to his original position

[Seriri]

Iggy curled into his shell before whirling fortressing into the Fitness Coach. Max Flexer went flying before crashing into the wall. Iggy grabbed the device that fell off him and looked over it for a few moments before looking to Jr. "Don't worry, Jr, Ludwig, Seriri and I are here to save you. Now, you keep pushing against that while I see if I can figure out how to use this device to free you from these contraptions, okay? It looks pretty complicated but I guess we're lucky the mad genius of the Koopalings has your back, huh?" he said as he looked down to the device and started pressing buttons. Meanwhile the pressure would continue to press down on Jr with more force. If he can only hold it a bit longer Iggy might be able to set him free.

(Jr! Iggy has the device but it'll take him a moment to deactivate the traps and your restraint. Roll a 14 or higher in STR to keep your strength up. Failure results in 30% damage)

Meanwhile the fake Jr got hit back with a fireball but got to his feet rather quickly. The chubby clone would look around before deciding to target the still reorienting herself Seriri, running before jumping to slam into her with a ground pound from above.

58p6LoGzp_1d20-1(Seriri takes 10% damage and Disabled (Wisdom))

p_1d20+5(Disabled Resistance... 4 turns)

Seriri could not dodge in time, her face hitting the ground from under Jr's bottom. Her vision was disoriented as a result. It was going to take her a moment to regain her senses... A very long moment.

Meanwhile the first shell hit the Best Fitness Friends head on. However the next two attacks missed and they stepped back from the ground pound of Ludwig. In retaliation the monster tried to grab Ludwig and hold him up with a smothering hold. He could feel his strength draining away from the hold if it connected.

(Ludwig! The Best Fitness Friends are trying to grab you and put you into their Muscle Drain Grapple! Roll a 12 or higher to evade or get grappled by the giant and get inflicted with Disabled (Strength) and Suffocation until you break free. In addition Best Fitness Friends will gain the Enhanced (Strength) buff for as long as Ludwig is held + 3 more turns, increasing Strength thresholds. This starts with a 15+ to break.)

Just then another clone would appear, this time in Ludwig's image. The mirror image of Ludwig would breathe fire at the real Koopaling, attempting to scorch him with his own fire!

(Ludwig! Fake Ludwig is trying to burn you with your Fire Breath! Roll a 11 or higher in DEX to evade or take 15% damage with a 10% chance to Burn)

Seriri attempts to fire magic bubbles at the fake Jr... but only succeeds in missing spectacularly. Deciding to try something else she breathed in before giving a.... horrible singing notes. The horrible singing voice even shaking Jr's prison trap with the horrible vocals.

p_1d20+4(Crit confirm, an additional 18% damage to all foes and a 100% chance to mind melt. If Ludwig was grappled, he is considered dropped now.)

"Owowowow, Seriri, do you mind?! I am trying to focus here!" Iggy called from across the room. His poor ears.... Well, at least all the enemies taken it as well. "Oh right... sorry... Um... about this one?" She breathed in and out before focusing her voice and starting to sing, a phantasmal band accompanying her voice.

"Here we go, off the rails, did you know it's time to raise ourselves. It's freedom like you never knew! Don't need bags, or a pass. Say the word, I'll be there in a flash. You could say my hat is off to you~!" she sang a... rather familiar song for those familiar with New Donk's Mayor. Either way the song seemed to give everyone hearing it a surge of energy to help them fight back harder!

Jr nodded urgently as Iggy rushed off to try and turn the machine off. Widening his stance a bit more, he tried to press upward more forcefully against the lid of the jar, but he felt his strength start to fade as the pressing became stronger. As much as he pushed against the lid, the opposing force was just too strong, and he felt his legs giving out. "I-Iggy! Y-you might want to hurry up!" Jr shouted. After a few minutes, Jr's strength gave out completely, and he collapsed to the ground. Quickly pulling his limbs and head into his shell, he bought himself a little bit more time. But even then, he could hear his shell creaking under the pressure. Was....was this where it ended? Was he going to be squashed into a Koopa pancake? Was Ludwig finally going to get the throne he so desperately wanted from him after all....?

And then, he heard it

The sweet sound of Seriri's singing reached his ears, and his mounting panic started to decrease. That voice.....that's what he'd first been attracted to about Seriri. Sure at first it might have been a spell, but....something about it stuck with him ever since then. Hearing it again, even when he was certain he was about to die...gave the confidence that everything would be alright. Iggy was good with machines. Better then he was. He'd find a way to get this thing off him fast enough. Then he'd get out of here, and give a good walloping to fitness idiots that thought they could trap him here!

(6eWX6sVkp_1d20+1 Ludwig's Dodge of Muscle Drain Grapple; Success!)

Bounding back into starting position after missing the ground pound, Ludwig retreated into his shell and slid out of the way of the Best Fitness Friend’s big fat rubbery mitts.

And as if the gym weren’t crowded and sweaty enough, a new challenger appeared.

(p_1d20+1 Ludwig's Dodge of Fire Breath; Failure. Takes 15% Damage.)
(p_1d100 Status roll. )

“Gow! Who dares!” Ludwig growled in pain, scanning the battlefield for the source of that fire ball… only to find…
“Durch den Spiegel der Narziss!” He gasped at the handsome sight of…himself! They dare attempt to replicate His glorious image? He had to commend their taste for skipping Iggy but it was blasphemous all the same. Even Seriri’s horrible scream did not hurt more than the realization of what he must do to it.

“Destroying you’s the worst thing I must do, today you handsome devil.” Ludwig shook his head in smug self-pity. “Especially since its easy this way.” He clenched his claws, surging with power Seriri’s song granted him. Bringing the Lochlady along proved useful after all.

(Fever Concerto grants Ludwig +10 to his Strength stat, capping it out to a +5 modifier)

“Perhaps I’ll save you for last, mein hübscher Doppelgänger.” With much effort, Ludwig’s eyes drifted to the ugly pool toy behind him. “I shall save you for dessert. But before I go, allow me to show you how it’s done!” Ludwig punctuated that statement with a proper Fire Ball at his dapper copy.

(p_1d20+3 Ludwig's Fire Breath @ Shadow Ludwig Von Koopa; Does 15% Damage with a 20% change to Burn.)

He once again retreated into his shell and spun passed his elegant duplicate and headed for another shot at the Best Fitness Friends.
