A/N: this is it, the big fight scene…never mind. I tried, I really did, but I ended up making it as a big joke… I didn't mean to but… yeah.
But be free to tell me if I did well any way… I got a little sadistic in the end, sorry about that…
Mario is my King (although I have a band of rebels who follow the likeness of King Luigi) Nintendo is an empire. I am just a peasant. So I clearly don't own them.
Now that is taken care of, here is… whatever it is…
Consequences?
Chapter Seven: final bow
This creature is too strong, the light had died down and the heroes were left with no such hope. Even with the Chaos Heart gone, he is too high up and too fast. And there was no Pure Hearts to heal them at the last moment; they were stuck between a rock and a hard place. Mario had never been so nervous, and that takes a lot for him. Imagine the raw fear that his poor brother must be feeling right now.
The happenings down below had not shown any sign of Pauline or Jaydes or not even the hope that Mr. L is alive. Which broke Luigi more than the fight, Mario closed his eyes, realizing that he had to give up and let the void consume everything that he loved…
"Hey, Mr. Stupid-snake-thingy, I'll defeat your FACE!"
Mario then opened his eyes and turned to the source of that obnoxious taunt and felt a tremendous weight being lifted from his chest. Luigi jumped up and ran to Mr. L, his face twisted in pain "Mr. L!"
The mechanic stopped him any further, and Luigi was able to see that his counterpart's eyes were completely white and now glowing, and a white mist was surrounding him, like how the Chaos Heart was not too long ago. And that his mask was hanging from around his neck. He turned to the Mario brother with a grin "hang on! I want to play super hero now…"
Mr. L calmly walked past Luigi "so your maternal instincts have to wait, L-ater." The Mario brother was left with nothing but to stare at the mechanic "maternal instincts?"
Dimentio finally spotted Mr. L out of the ruins of the castle below him and snarled "you!" Mr. L raised his eyebrows "yeah, it's me, you want a cookie?" the jester let out a loud screech of anger and charged at the man below him, only to bounce off his new Chaos Heart shield "oh, we're playing tag now? Okay…" he looked around, his body beginning to float "but first, I want a cape…" taking a flag that had a crest on it, which was barely hanging on to the bent flag pole he tied it around his neck "super heroes have capes right? I wouldn't know but-"
"Just get it over with!" Bowser roared. Mr. L turned to him "fine" he spat "I save the universe and this is what I get in return" with that he took off after the creature at full speed with a battle cry "CHARGE!"
Mr. L then stopped in midair when Dimentio's mask seem to open in half and more shadowy tentacles sprouted each with little deformed masks, all in the likeness of the jester.
Then, and I am not kidding you, our only hope then turned and high-tailed it out of there "BAD CALL! BAD CALL!" Mr. L cried and took off at full speed, from below it looked like a sharp white light overhead, to which Luigi couldn't help to pinch the bridge of his nose in shame.
He then paused, (wait a minute- he was supposed to be fighting this thing) turned around and puffed out his chest, and like before, the jester bounced off his shield. Mr. L's shoulders went limp and he gave a rather silly giggle "he fell for it again…"
The jester growled again and leapt at the mechanic who in turn grabbed one of his tentacles and proceeded to crack at his mask with his fist. For someone who calls himself the 'Green Thunder' he is lacking a lot of electricity…
Okay, if the Chaos Heart granted him a shield and flight, does he have any other powers? Because this is really starting to get boring, Mr. L then looked up to what he is doing to see the void in its ever growing and hungry glory. Oh yeah, he has a void.
Mr. L then felt the mask beginning to crack from under him and he reached into the disgusting abyss of the creatures' mouth and pulled out a familiar shape "tag you it!" he cried as he dropped the remains of the creature which disintegrate into nothing. Leaving the broken form of Dimentio's original form in his grip "ahhh…" Mr. L smirked "hello my old friend…"
Dimentio squirmed in his grasp and hissed at the mechanic "I killed you once; I can always do it again…" Mr. L cocked his head to the side "not likely. You reached your end Dimentio. So get lost."
Mr. L then took into the air, heading straight for the void, just stopping in front of it "oh, did I ruin your fragile pride? Defeated your little monster?"
The eyes of Dimentio's masked widened in recognition "perhaps this is for the best" he raised Dimentio to the void where it began to eat at his body "wait- what are you doing!" Mr. L smiled "doing what I should have done years ago when I had the chance…" Dimentio screamed in rage and continued to fight Mr. L's iron grip "nothing will find you if I take care of you in there, yes, this is my moment to grasp…"
Dimentio stared at him, realizing that he is going to die "no-NO!" Mr. L gave him another sadistic smile "it's time for you to take your final bow, Dimentio." He continued to push the fallen jester into the void "ahahahaaa…ssshhhh….Don't worry, it won't be so bad, I promise. Too bad that I won't be sending anybody for you to play with…" then with a final push he found his arms deep into the void itself, but the shield around him prevented his own death.
He then felt Dimentio slip into nothing and he pulled out, all that remains of the jester was the thick black substance dripping down his arms, residue from the endless abyss of the void. Mr. L's smile died down, his face showing something of pure fatigue "Ciao, Dimentio…"
He looked down at the heroes below, all looked at him in horror. Defeating them is one thing, but the stunt that Mr. L just pulled was something that none of them had the guts to pull, ever. In which that gave the anti-hero a warm fuzzy feeling inside, it is so, so good to be bad.
Pauline joined the group and he then realizes that his job is not exactly done. Flying several feet back he then spread his arms out as if he was gripping the sides of the void itself then he proceeded to strain as hard as he can, trying to close the void with only him and the thing that created the void to begin with.
Soon the void began to shrink until it was the size of an infant. Mr. L then looked down, the remains of the void in his arms "hey! Get a shoe box or something…"
The heroes below looked up at him in confusion before they all scrambled to find a box of some kind. Mr. L rolled his eyes and realizes that the void did take the form and likeness of an infant, most likely trying to gain some sympathy; which the mechanic had none of that sort… okay… a little.
Mr. L gave a small smile "awww… you're kind of cute…" he tickled under its chin but then backed off when the void attempted to suck in his hand "ah- never mind! Bad void-thingy… "
Mr. L landed safely onto the roof top where the heroes were even too afraid to surround him, well he had the void in his hands so… and he is now the true host of the Chaos Heart and… whatever.
Silence took over the battleground and all eyes were on him, Mr. L narrowed his eyes "take a picture, it would last longer, have at you…" and with that the mist stopped forming around him, his eyes returned to its original glare and the cape popped off. Then the heroes could relax, seeing that this is still the obnoxious, smug, arrogant villain that they all came to know.
Queen Jaydes finally approached him with a large box "this is the box were we first received our pure heart, before we made Luvbi. This will stop anything from getting in or out."
She held up the open box to the small void in his arms "well, it is not a shoe box, but it will do…" Mr. L gave her a flat look, wrapping the void in his make shift cape, then gently laying the void in the box, Pauline finally made it up to the roof top and saw the contents in the box "aw…" she cooed at the newborn shaped void "it's so sweet!" Mr. L frowned at her "don't get any ideas… especially one that involves children…" and with that he closed the box shut. Not caring about the Mario brothers or the women around them giving him almost a hurt looks.
Jaydes looked down at the box "we will bury it deep inside the castle, where nobody will be bold enough to go after it" she looked back up at the mechanic "thank you for all that you had done…" despite the thank you, it is clear to see that she still does not like Mr. L.
Pauline locked arms with him and he gestured to the rest of the heroes "whatever, can we leave now?" Mr. L said as they all lined up beside him "as you wish" with a final wave the heroes and plus three were sent back home where they belonged.
The Underwhere is a cold and heartless place, where the lost and dammed souls would wonder for the rest of their afterlife, but now it is at least safe…
E. Gadd sat quietly in the room, eating his assorted sandwiches and other stacks, staring into the empty room. The void disappeared outside and in the streets outside of the forest many citizens of the Mushroom kingdom were out celebrating on the street. Praising their heroes of their success of once again saving them, despite they didn't even do much again.
The paranormal scientist looked up to see every body returned safely (and with the table too! What a joy…) he stood up to greet the heroes "wow! You youngsters work fast!"
Mario looked around, realizing that it was true; they were only gone for an hour. He turned to Mr. L who had his arms crossed with a smug grin "oh yeah, that is how I roll…" the hero could only roll his eyes in response.
End of Chapter
A/N: dang it… I wanted that fight to have more… meat to it. I didn't mean to make a joke out of it… Oh well, it was kind of neat by having Mr. L recite similar phrases that was used on him when he was killed to the game on Dimentio as he was slowly feeding him to the void. Sorry for that bout of evil there. But Mr. L can and always will be a bad guy. I am sure he only sees that as revenge more than saving the world.
Now his ego is twice as big, I wonder how that will turn out in the end. Which is not in the next chapter, it is in the one after that.
Tell me if I did well, please? I am like a child with a bucket over her head, I need some direction! Or at least someone to remove the bucket…
Happy Waiting
