Author's Notes- This is a story I've been working on for a while now inspired by two of the Mario series villains I know, Dimentio and Fawful. I was hoping this story would inspire others to write about these two great villains. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
Painting Castle Bleck Green
Chapter 1
Ring Ring!
Faster than Mario can slap someone for touching his mustache, Mimi and O'Chunks both lunge for the phone on the desk. Mimi trips, tripping O'Chunks. He falls, instinctively reaching to grab the desk to catch himself. O'Chunk's fist hits the edge of the phone, sending it flying into the air. The phone doesn't touch the ground, but stops right before hitting the ground. It flies away. Mimi gets up from under fallen O'Chunks. She gasps in shock. Dimentio runs off with the phone. He looks back, feeling pretty proud of himself. To everyone's surprise, Dimentio bashes into a familiar looking scepter. His feet and upper body, since they were in motion, flew forward, freezing in place. The phone stayed in motion, flying across the rest of the hallway. Count Bleck holds his scepter out with a smirk, getting a surprising amount of satisfaction in his actions.
"You all are so immature." Timpani stands at the end of the hallway, holding the phone. Ever since disappearing with Blumiere, (Count Bleck, as his minions still call him,) she has returned to her human form before being cursed. She has beautiful brown eyes and red flowing hair. Today, she wears a casual green dress with yellow flowers on it.
Nastasia walks up to Timpani's side. Timpani hands her the phone. With one press of a button, Nastasia puts the phone to her ear. "Hello. This is Lord Blumiere's castle. How can I help you?" A moment of silence passes. Nastasia walks over to Count Bleck and hands him the phone. He floats into his office to speak.
By then, everyone had gone to their rooms in boredom. Timpani and Nastasia remain in the hallway. Timpani is the first to leave, entering the office with her husband. Nastasia decides to do a check of the castle.
Mimi writes in her diary- check.
O'Chunks does something… manly?- check.
Who knows what the heck Dimentio is reading- check.
Normal day in Castle Bleck. Even the one unusual thing happened like every day. Every day, something new happens that nobody was expecting. Everyone has come to call it the 'Unusual Event'. Today's 'unusual event' was that there was a mad dash for the phone. Now all that's left is to finish today's paperwork and other stuff. To do so, Nastasia enters her office/bedroom and probably won't be seen for a while.
Meanwhile, Dimentio's book inspires him. The character in his book is a young genius who has a naughty side. The character had a master who was destroyed, and the character's recent attempt for revenge failed. The authorities are sending him to a friend of his master. Dimentio has just read a prank scene that the character executed. The chief officer found himself not only drinking wormy water and wearing no pants, but also found himself almost giving up his position by almost signing all of the wrong papers. The main character is in deep trouble now.
Dimentio puts the bookmark in his book and teleports out of the room. Nastasia signs random papers. Dimentio uses magic to silently shift through all the papers in the file cabinet. He finds all the resignation papers, which Count had made after he returned with Timpani. Everyone refused to sign them. Nastasia almost cried just thinking about signing the paper. Count Bleck filed them away for later.
"Oh dearest Nastasia, I need this signed by higher authority for it to be certified. Do you mind?" Dimentio cleverly places Nastasia's resignation paper in front of her. Like he planned, she just rolls her eyes and gets ready to sign it, not even asking what it is.
Nastasia tries to write. Her pen is out of ink. Dimentio floats over to a shelf to grab another pen. Nastasia takes a closer look at the paper. Dimentio returns with a pen and hands it to Nastasia.
Nastasia smirks. "I don't recall giving you paperwork."
Dimentio comes up with a quick lie. "The count gave me the work. I was frightfully annoyed, but did it anyway."
"What is it?"
This one takes a little more time to create a lie for.
"Well?"
Dimentio just smirks. "I would get the count to sign it, but he is on the phone. I wouldn't want to disturb his business. Just sign it, dearie."
Just then, the door bursts open. Count Bleck stands there. "I have some important news!"
"You forgot to knock again!" Timpani yells from another part of the castle.
Count Bleck gets an annoyed look. "My apologies."
Nastasia looks at Dimentio. "Now you can have him sign it."
Knowing he is sadly defeated, he plays along. "Certainly." He takes the paper and hands it to Count. "Just sign at the bottom please."
Count Bleck skims the paper and smirks. "It seems the one needing to sign it is Nastasia. It is her resignation papers."
"Nice try, Dim." Nastasia goes back to work, amused but not showing it.
Dimentio almost teleports back to his room, but stops. Count Bleck files the paper back and looks at Dimentio.
Dimentio stares at Count. "What's the news?"
Author's Notes- Just my personal opinion; this gets interesting. Those of you who took the time to read the author's note above (whom I am grateful to) know that I was hoping to inspire others to write about Dimentio and Fawful. Well, pleaseignoreme9 and I have created a little challenge for those who would now like to write a story about these two villains. Go to my profile to learn about it (I would have written the challenge here, but that might be a little lengthy.) Tell me what you thought of this first chapter; I greatly appreciate it!
