Mimi gasped.
She ran at full speed, or at least as fast as she could with those damned shoes.
She ended up kicking them off out of frustration.
Her green pigtails pointed behind her.
"DIMMY!" she yelled.
Mr. L had already reached the magician.
"What happened?!" she demanded.
"I-I have no idea! He just collapsed!" Mr. L turned Dimentio onto his back.
Mimi kneeled in the grass, ignoring the fact that her dress would probably get grass stains.
She grabbed Dimentio's wrist and frantically searched for a pulse.
"His pulse is super weak!" She dispaired.
Nastasia had made her own way over the three.
"We have to get him to the castle ASAP!" She exclaimed, straightening her glasses.
Count Bleck was just finishing the page as his minions burst through the castle doors.
"Count!" Mr. L called.
He held Dimentio in his arms like a damsel in distress.
"Something went wrong!" Mimi exclaimed.
With his Chaos-Heart given powers, Count Bleck could tell that Dimentio's life force was draining.
Could it be...?
Yes.
As much as it pained him to admit it, the answer was yes.
"Do you know what's wrong?" Nastasia asked, worry in her voice.
"Y-no." the count lied.
He didn't want to give them the terrible news, that Dimentio's fate was certain...and it was a BAD certain.
Meanwhile...
Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Tippi were together, searching for the taller bro.
"I know Luigi has to be somewhere!" Mario argued.
"But Mario, we've searched everywhere! Don't you think that...maybe we should accept Luigi is gone?" asked Peach.
"I don't even know WHY we're looking for that stupid-"
"SHUT UP, BOWSER!"
"Guys! Look!" Tippi pointed (read: faced towards) a familiar, huge shape.
"Hey! It's that-"
"O'Chunks!" Mario interrupted Bowser.
"'ey! What'r you doin' 'ere, Maria?!" O'Chunks yelled.
"First: It's Mario and second: what are YOU doing here?!" Mario countered.
"Well...the o'hers 'ay 'ave lef' me b'hind...bu' why do YOU car', Maria?"
"IT'S MARIO!" Mario, Peach, Tippi and even Bowser yelled at the same time.
"And to answer your first question, WE are here to look for Luigi!" Peach answered.
"Luigi? Ye mea' L?"
"L?" asked Mario.
"Yea'. Nastasia bra'washed 'em a whi'e ba'." O'Chunks answered.
Peach, Mario, Bowser, and Tippi shared a look.
I kinda overdid it with O'Chunks' lines, so here is a translation.
1: Hey! What're you doing here, Maria/Mario?
2: Well...the others may have left me behind...but why do YOU care, Maria/Mario.
3: Luigi? You mean L?
4: Yeah. Nastasia brainwashed him a while back.
