Though all of the magic copies of Dimentio were defeated, there was still no sign of the real one. That was until he appeared behind Lucas. Antonio saw him and shoved him out of the way. Dimentio grabbed him instead, Mario feeling a bit of deja vue.

Dimentio yelled, growing in size, "I grow tire of your antics. You are getting to be nothing but a pain Antonio!"

Antonio looked at Dimentio and smirked, slightly startling the magical jester.

He softly replied, "My name is Luigi, thank you very much!"

As he said that, he built up his green electricity and broke out of Dimentio's grip. Though he started to fall again, he quickly reacted and activated his green electricity wings, grabbing Mario's hand and swooping him up to Dimentio's height.

Mario asked, "Antonio?"

Luigi smiled as he answered, "No, bro. Luigi."

Mario smiled instantly, trying to fight back the evident tears in his eyes.

He asked, "How'd you learn how to do this?"

The green clad ghost hunter smiled as he answered, "Let's just say someone once told me that I could be the difference between victory and defeat."

Mario was the one to smile now as their friends started to run away from the giant Dimentio. Luigi landed far away from the craziness and put his brother down.

The red clad plumber questioned, "Now what?"

Luigi answered, "Dimension D, didn't it power us too?"

Mario stated, "From what I remember, yes."

Luigi replied, "That's what I'm banking on..."

That's when he closed his eyes, hoping beyond hope that what he had in mind would work. Mario waited next to his younger brother as the giant Dimentio came towards them, getting stronger with each step.

Mario urged, "Luigi, you better hurry..."

Luigi didn't answer, his eyes still closed as he remembered all of his teachings from his friends...his family...his team...and beyond...

Dimentio boomed, "Well Manfredi brothers, you are about to meet the end of your game."

Luigi replied, opening his eyes, "Doubt that, Dimentio."

As he said that, the green clad ghost hunter grew in size, becoming Giant Luigi. Dimentio and Mario both looked stunned but Mario smiled as he climbed onto Luigi and stood on his head. Violet saw this as she ran over with Peach as they also stood on Luigi's head.

Dimentio questioned, "How can this be?"

Luigi answered, "Simple! I believe in myself...for the first time...no one is going to scare me...not even you, Dimentio."

'You are going to fall to me for the sake of Rosalina,' Luigi thought. 'I will stop this for her.' As he said that, Luigi charged straight at Dimentio and started to fight the magical jester with his brother, fiance, and his sister-in-law helping. Lucas couldn't believe that Luigi had his memory back. He turned to Rosalina, who was trying to help from the ground.

He went over his family and girlfriend and started to help as well. He had a score to settle with the jester himself. Spettro was hiding (with good reason) as he watched in awe of his master. Spettro panted, watching as the jester shrunk down back to regular size, Lucas ran over to him and punched him in the right eye.

Lucas spat, "That's for making me betray the count, you bastard!"

Dimentio forewarned, "Be aware, this isn't over. Not by a long shot."

As he said that, his hand glowed of magic as it hit Lucas' chest, bringing out the Chaos Heart. Lucas went down in a heap as Rosalina gasped. Luigi groaned, collapsing to his feet.

Violet breathed, "Luigi!"

Dimentio replied, "They are still somewhat connected, as you can see. That is because of me. And with this Chaos Heart, no one will stop me...not even those friends of yours, Luigi."

Luigi whimpered, "N - no..."

Mario activated his red fire as he threw it at Dimentio, making the jester disappear, causing the Chaos Heart to fall back into Lucas' chest, instantly reviving him. Rosalina smiled happily, hugging Lucas silly. Luigi got to his feet as Lucas looked at him.

Lucas asked, "I know you are back, Luigi. Are you mad?"

Luigi answered, smiling, "Surprisingly, no."

Mario asked, "What friends were he talking about, Weegie?"

Luigi explained, "That's a story for another time, Malleo. Right now, I think your kingdom should meet their king. Don't you agree?"

Everyone agreed with a shout and applause as they started to rally around the two brothers, as they were finally reunited.

...

That afternoon, everyone gathered for the coordination ceremony. Mario, Peach, Luigi, Violet, and Toadsworth were on the stage. Luigi was holding his brother's crown as Violet was holding Peach's tiara.

Toadsworth asked Mario and Peach, "Do you both vow to follow and uphold the rules of the kingdom?"

Mario and Peach answered, "We vow to follow and uphold the rules of the kingdom."

Toadsworth took the tiara from Violet and went over to Peach first. She lowered her head as Toadsworth crowned her as queen. She stood up proudly. Toadsworth took the crown from Luigi and went over to Mario last. He lowered his head as Toadsworth crowned him as king. He stood up proudly. Luigi and Violet, walked off to the sides as Mario and Peach walked up a bit.

Toadsworth announced, "Now presenting the king and queen of Mushroom Kingdom: Mario and Peach Manfredi!"

Everyone cheered, Luigi looked at Lucas, who was behind the scenes.

He asked, "What are you doing back here?"

Lucas answered, "The Underwhere if I know. One day I'm apart of the weakest person and wanting to kill the closest thing to him. The next day, I'm watching Mario become king and I am my own person now."

Luigi joked, "Conflicted much?"

The green clad bandit chuckled as he stated, "Yeah, guess I am..."

Luigi told him, "It's okay to be that way. It just means that you are thinking about the future."

Lucas shrugged and replied, "Maybe. But in either event, it's time for me to figure out a few things."

The green clad ghost hunter questioned, "Will I ever see you again?"

Lucas smiled this time as he answered, "I guarantee it."

With that, Lucas left, not sure if he was Lucas or Mr. L. But he vowed that he would figure out things one day, with Rosalina by his side. As for Luigi, he knew where he was going. He finally knew that...Mario did in fact need him. From the very beginning. 'Thanks to you for helping me remember that,' the green clad ghost hunter thought, as he looked at the perfect blue sky, 'Wherever you are...thank you...' With that, he went over to his family and remembered that he - himself - was going to be married soon...
