Dimentio stared at the murky lake, enjoying the company of his reflection. He had plenty of time to do that now, ever since Mario and company ended his game and sent his to the Underwhere. That wasn't the only thing, due to the fact that he almost ended all worlds, he was generally hated, even down there. Nothing interesting happens in the Underwhere, there was nothing to do, nowhere to go. It was like a prison, but his sentence would never end. Dimentio kicked his feet in the lake out of boredom, it was so quiet in the Underwhere. Until Dimentio decided to walk back to his little home. Dimentio was rather proud of himself when he arrived back, he made it himself. He best part is how nobody would take it away, on fear of dying again. If your game ended in the Underwhere, nobody knows what happens to you.

The bushes rustled nearby Dimentio. He raised an eyebrow, even though nobody could see it under his mask. Dimentio searched the bush, preparing an attack, but nothing was visible. Pity that, Dimentio wanted something to do.

"So, you are Dimentio I presume?" said a voice nearby Dimentio. He prepared another attack, only to hear the same voice behind him.

"Now Dimentio, do not threat. I am not here to harm you. Why, quite the opposite."

Dimentio refused to stop looking around, waiting for the target. The voice sighed.

"Tst Tst, I am not visible here, do not look for me. Now, I wish to strike a deal with you Dimentio."

Dimentio looked surpised at first, but realised that to get the best result, he needed to remain calm.

"A deal? What could you possibly offer me that would be of any importance now?" asked Dimentio. The Underwhere was a gloomy place, nothing made the place any better.

"What can I offer? The one thing you need the most. Another chance. Another chance to beat Mario, another chance to rule worlds, and another chance at life. I offer you, a continue."

Dimentio smirked at this, another chance, yes. He could finally seek vengence on those plumbers, and those who kept him locked down here in the Underwhere. But then, it struck Dimentio like a ton of bricks.

"Wait. What do you want in return?"

There was silence for a few seconds, until an answer echoed in Dimentio's head.

"Now do not worry about the conditions, another being has arranged it for me."

Hearing this, Dimentio beamed. No conditions, no catches, and all to gain. This person must really like Dimentio. A small red pill floated in front of Dimentio.

"Swallow the pill, and you will have another chance. Yes. Dimentio will be reborn. Of course, you will be thrown back in time a few weeks. Months maybe. But that is your choice."

Dimentio quickly grabbed the pill, and looked at it. Another chance. A chance for Dimentio to win his game, not to lose. He popped the pill into his mouth. Dimentio fell asleep. Into a deep sleep.

"Wise choice."

After Dimentio feel into a deep sleep, a figure stepped out of the shadows.

"Ahh. Hello again Master. Let us take Dimentio back in time, your wish will be fufilled."

"Very Good" said the shadow, "I'm sure has a time machine, lets go now."

The shadowed figure left straight after, followed by a sleeping Dimentio being dragged along the ground.
