It was the middle of the night and Fumu had woken up for a glass of water. As she got a cup she heard a knock on the door. Fumu thought to herself, who would come all the way out here? Let alone in the middle of the night. It was confusing but Fumu answered the door and gasped at what she saw. Several people where at the door all looked tired and sad. The first was a young girl with green hair and skin; she wore a yellow dress with red dots. The second a woman with pink hair held in a bun, blue skin, glasses, a blouse, and a skirt. The third was a large man with a red beard, red hair, black muscle shirt, a belt, black pants, red boots and wristbands. But the most shocking was a unconscious man the larger man carried in his arms. The injured man had light blue skin, white hair, his clothes were all white and red, he had a cape, a top hat lied on his stomach, white shirt, pants, even his boots were white. But the strangest thing was he held his hands close to his chest as if he was holding something.

The girl looked at Fumu crying, "Please help!"

Fumu nodded 'Come in! You can lie your friend on the couch!"

The large man ran in lying the wounded one down, "Oh no dis be very bad."

Fumu knelt next to the injured man he had cuts, gashes, and burns all over "What happened?

"He was injured protecting us," said the girl.

Fumu found a first aid kit on the wall and started treating the man's wounds. When she tried to pull his hands apart he wouldn't budge. It was as if what ever he was holding he had no intention of letting go of.

Fumu looked at the man's friend's "so what are you're names? I'm fumu."

Mr.l appeared behind them "well, well, well. If it isn't Mimi, Nastasia, and O'Chunks."

Mimi was the girl she turned in shock "OH MY!"

O'Chunks the large man was amazed "Mr.L?"

Nastasia just stood with her mouth opened mumbling.

Mr.L walked up to the injured man "Count Bleck still lives I see. Well right now I say hes hanging on by a thread."

Fumu stood "You know each other?"

Mr.l nodded "Yes. Now go back to bed fumu."

Before Fumu could protest Count Bleck slowly opened his eyes "uuh. Where am I?"

Mimi smiled "Count you awake!"

Count Bleck let go of what he was holding and a rainbow colored butterfly flew up, looked around then flew close to Bleck's face.

"BLUIMERE!" It said.

Bleck smiled "Tippani."

Fumu was confused "Why did the butterfly call him that?"

Mr.l crossed his arms and said in an annoyed voice "Its his real name. Now go to bed!"

Fumu was scared by his voice and ran up stairs to her room.

Mr.l sighed "So. I suppose you want to know what's going on?"

The others nodded except Bluimere who was to injure to move his head.

Nastasia spoke up, "You were just a persona I made for Luigi when I brainwashed him. How are you here?"

Mr.l smiled "That's where you're mistaken. You're hypnosis awoke me from my slumber deep inside Luigi."

Tippani spoke up next, "Then where's Luigi now?"

"We switched. You see Mario, peach, and Bowser have been captured."

The paper gang couldn't believe it "That's. Horrible."

Mr.l chuckled "Luigi asked me to save them since he knew he couldn't do by himself, of course I have more than electric powers."

Mimi was confused and it was starting to annoy her "like what?!"

A frey heart with black ripples appeared in Mr.L's chest then vanished.

Bluimere gasped "THE CHAOS HEART!? BUT HOW?!"

Mr.l shushed him "Keep it down. But any way as the Chaos heart started to fade it hid in its proper host..Luigi and me. But thinks to its power we have gained the power to control the darkness."

Silence fallowed that. No one spoke for five minutes until Bluimere spoke up weakly "I. want to help."

Mr.l smiled "In your condition?"

Bluimere managed to sit up" When my wounds heal. More."

Mimi raised her hand "If the count wants to help then so do I!"

Nastasia and O'Chunks nodded "Us as well."

Mr.L thought it over then answered "Very well but some rules. One I'M in charge if I say do something do it. Two don't mention the Chaos heart. Three you will refer to me, as Mr.L only don't speak of Luigi. Four if asked about how we know each other we were friends. Fallow the rules and if you break one I'll kick you out of the mission."

The Five agreed and Mr.l went up stairs going back to bed. Bluimere lied back down going to sleep instantly. Mimi got into the chair and dozed off. Nastasia slept in the other chair and O'Chunks slept on the floor. Tippani just fluttered above Bluimere watching him sleep.
