A/N Woohoo! This is a one-hundred oneshot challenge I will be doing based in the first three Paper Mario games' universes! I will have a prompt for each episode, and will upload randomly.
Prompt: Confusion
Luigi's head was spinning. As if fighting a demented jester who had an innate and unusual control over magic wasn't enough, the second-fiddle Mario brother was not just fighting the insane crowd pleaser. He was moving in and out of all of the places the four heroes had visited on this adventure. He whizzed through the Bitlands, swam through the pixelated ocean, and could never really get a clean shot off at Dimentio.
And if that wasn't bad enough, the room where he finally ended up, the final destination of their fight, was a blank, black room. Blank apart from the mirrors. Mirrors everywhere. Mirrors reflecting himself. Reflecting the purple, yellow, silver and black jester. Reflecting a large, pulsating yellow ball flying towards his face-
"Augh!" Luigi exclaimed in shock and pain as the attack struck him, knocking him to his knees. Picking himself up, he moaned.
"I hate this place! Hate it! HATE, HATE, HATE IT!"
A snide laughed echoed throughout the room. "What's wrong, Luigi? Are you frightened, like a child of a ghost?" Luigi clenched his teeth in answer, and maneuvered his fists into balls.
Dang, this place was confusing.
The jester suddenly popped out of a mirror right in front of the plumber. "I asked you a question, like a high school teacher to their student!" he exclaimed, cackling madly with laughter as he floated just out of the high-jumping Luigi's reach. Luigi let out a quiet growl, staring up at the levitating foe of his.
"I will beat you yet, you... You coward!" For some reason, that struck a nerve in the jester. His chuckling stopped, and he looked at Luigi in anger.
"Quiet, pawn, who can be controlled like a video game character! Prepare to meet your end!" With these words, Dimentio unleashed another magic blast towards the green-cloaked hero, and not bothering to watch Luigi barely dodge his assault, floated straight into a mirror; duplicating himself into three, two fakes and himself coming out of different mirrors. All three of the jesters said in unison, "Come at me, Luigi!"
It was really confusing in there.
