Luigi and Dimentio
(Ah, it's good to be back. Now that I have more ideas about what to do with this story I can continue. Sorry about the long wait.)
Chapter 7: The new champ!
Luigi began jumping around the arena, trying to tire Rawk-Hawk out, who was already tired from saving Luigi's life and lifting the monitor back into place.
'I feel like I'm cheating him out of a victory.' Luigi thought. 'He must be exhausted. No, I can't think about it, my life's still on the line.'
Luigi stopped jumping, giving an open attack for Rawk-Hawk. Rawk-Hawk dived toward Luigi, but Luigi quickly slid under Rawk-Hawk and jumped toward his chest, knocking him into the hair. Rawk-Hawk fell to the floor, unable to get up.
"Good…fight." Rawk-Hawk let out.
"Oh you cannot be serious!" Mr. L yelled, jumping onto the arena. "It can't end like this!" Mr. L began throwing punched toward Luigi.
"Hoo boy!" The announcer yelled. "Looks like we got ourselves a crowd challenger! To tell the truth, he doesn't look like much."
"Wha?! I look exactly like him just with better clothes!" Mr. L yelled.
"Sure you do." The announcer sarcastically responded.
"Are we really fighting here?" Luigi asked, dodging the punches. "Couldn't you wait until we got back to the castle?"
"Tsk, wouldn't you like that?" Mr. L asked. "Sure, you may have passed the trial, but that doesn't mean I can't humiliate you in front of all these peo-owww!"
Dimentio bent Mr. L's finger, nearly breaking it. "Honestly, you're just too hasty. Come, we're off to the castle."
Dimentio teleporter himself, Mr. L, and Luigi back to Castle Bleck.
Back at Flipside
"Hey, Merlon." Bowser said, walking into Merlon's home. "Any news on what's been going on with Tippi. I mean, why she's been glowing? I checked up on her and Count Bleck and she started glowing yellow."
"Another new color?" Merlon asked. "I'm beginning to worry about what it means."
"So, nothing new then?" Bowser asked.
"I'm afraid not." Merlon responded, bowing his head. "Perhaps the answer will show itself when the right time comes."
"Maybe it's Mario and Peach." Mimi stated, walking into Merlon's home. "Sorry for the intrusion, I just overheard you guys talking about Tippi's glowing problem."
"Not to worry, Mimi." Merlon said. "In fact, I think you may be right."
Castle Bleck
"So, what's my next trial?" Luigi asked.
"Tell me something, Luigi." Dimentio began. "How good are you at jumping?"
"Jumping?" Luigi asked. "Well, I'm superior to my brother, so pretty good. Why do you ask?"
"Your next trial of course." Dimentio responded.
Mr. L walked over to Dimentio and began to whisper, "Where's Nastasia?"
"I let her go." Dimentio whispered.
"What? Why?" Mr. L asked.
"Why do you care?" Dimentio asked.
"Um, what's going on?" Luigi interrupted.
"None of your concern!" Mr. L yelled.
"I let her go because you were right." Dimentio said. "It wasn't her fault that Luigi wasn't crushed by the giant monitor, so I let her go."
"Wait, she was working with you guys?!" Luigi asked. "I get paralyzed and then you guys try to smash me with the monitor unfairly?!"
There was a short pause from Dimentio. "Yes."
"You jerk!" Luigi yelled.
Mr. L sighed. "Look, can we discuss this after you bring Nastasia back?"
Dimentio snapped his fingers, pretending to teleport Nastasia back into Castle Bleck.
"There, she's here." He said.
"Where?" Mr. L asked.
"Somewhere in the castle." Dimentio responded. "Go ahead and find her."
Mr. L groaned. "Sometimes I really hate you."
Mr. L left the hallway they were in and began searching the castle.
"While he's doing that, we'll start your next trial." Dimentio said.
"Fine, but I still can't believe you guys tried to sabotage me." Luigi said.
"Expect the unexpected, Luigi." Dimentio said, teleporting the two of them to a new location.
