S'up my readers,

Most of this chapter pretty much pick off where chapter two ended off.

Chapter 5 :
City Attack and Flashback


Mushroom City

Mushroom City; a heavily populated area filled with Toads, Koopas, and all sorts of other inhabitants. It was a peaceful city; one full of happy smiles and busy people. Of course, all those wouldn't last long, especially with a familiar dark figure traveling through the city.

This figure looked highly suspicious. However, no one bothered to stop and questioned him. It was like this mysterious guy in black was the most normal thing in the world.

Mr. L continues to walk through the city undetected until he had reached the heart of the city where a major event was happening. Every year, the city holds a festival right in the center in hopes to raise some money for schools, small businesses, and all those other things.

As usual, the area was packed with the local which was just fine with him. The area where the festival was being held at had dozens of tents put up filled with games, prizes, and good food. In the middle of the festival was a band. Performing with the band was a group of dancers.

It was most crowded where the band and dancers members were performing. Everyone there was enjoying themselves and having a great time. Unbeknownst to them, their fun day at the festival was going to end horribly. Because amongst the crowd was a man on a mission; a mission of mass destruction.

"For your final assignment Mr. L, I want you and Shade to appear in Mushroom City and cause as much chaos and destruction as you possibly can."

Mr. L hid behind some bushes. Once the coast was clear, he let out a small whistle. Seconds later, Shade appeared in front of him.

"Its time." He said. "You know what to do."

Shade nodded and disappeared again. Mr. L digs into his black pocket and pulls out the Mighty Tonic his master had given him.

"Take this Mighty Tonic with you; it will briefly improve your attack power that way the damage will be more…destructive."

He unscrewed the top and down the whole drink in a few gulps. He tossed the empty bottle aside and stepped into the open again. A few minutes later, there were screams full of fear and terror. They were soon followed by the sounds of thunder, lightning, and explosions.

In less than an hour, the heavily populated area of Mushroom City had gone up in smoke. On top of a tall building, one individual stood above all the chaos and observe the turmoil with great interest.

Dimentio stood on top of that building, watching his most faithful servant and his ghostly companion strike fear into the hearts of the Mushroom citizens, just as he orders it. The evilly insane smile on his face grew as he watched his servant laid waste to anyone who tries to stand in his way. The truth was no one could stop him; not even those pathetic excuses for police. All they can do now is run and hide from his thunderous rampage.

Dimentio smirked; recalling the memory of how he had gained his most loyal minion. He first had to get his hands on a magical book called the Book of Spells. The book was old, very old; maybe even older than Dark Prognosticus. The spell he used was even older and had a high death rate for those who fall victim to it. The old woman he had stolen the book from had warned him it was a big risk to try such a dangerous and deadly spell on anyone, but he did it anyways. In the end, Luigi now called Mr. L had survived the process and now he has a new soul growing inside him; one that will bind his loyalty and service to him forever.

Flashback

Luigi's Mansion

The whole mansion was filled with the painful screams of Luigi. The younger Mario brother struggled against the magic that was causing him this horrible pain. But the bounds strapping him to the bed prevented him from doing so much. Now all he could do is scream and hope that his misery will end soon.

Dimentio, the cause of Luigi's pain, stand by him indifferently. He was unfazed by the screams of the younger brother. He simply stood by the screaming man's side and let his magic explore deeper inside of the man's body, causing him more pain and louder screams.

After what felt like forever, when reality it was only been about twenty minutes or so, Dimentio's head lit up with a smile.

"Ah ha! I got it."

Having a hold of whatever he was looking for, Dimentio use his magic to pull in out. That only cause Luigi more pain and his screams became even louder than before. Tears ran down his face as he struggles harder, trying to make it stop. However, the jester held a firm grip on his prize and pulled harder in order to get it out.

"Come on, you stubborn thing you…"

After some searching and much pain, something was coming out of Luigi. A shining yellow orb, about the same size of a small ball, was emerging from the body.

"Almost there…"

Luigi's chest hoist up slightly as Dimentio gave one last pull to separate the orb from his body. As soon as the orb was out, Luigi's screams cease and his body went completely limp. He made no sudden movement and looked dead on the bed. The only sign that he was still alive after such horrible, immense pain was the slight up and down movement from his chest, but even that was faint.

Dimentio paid little attention to the seemingly dead body on the bed and examine the small golden orb that hovers slightly over say body.

"At last, I have my prize; your soul, it glows as bright as the desert sun." Dimentio beamed.

He let out his hand. He want to touch it; corrupt it even. But the soul wouldn't let him. In order to protect itself, it let out a series of brilliant yellow sparks. It shock the jester, causing his hand to retreat. Dimentio hiss at the sudden pain and glared at the soul.

"Still fighting I see." He said. The insane smile returned on his face. "No matter, you still can't escape."

Dimentio held out both his hands toward the orb. This time he summoned a dark sphere of energy around the soul orb, limiting its light and imprisoning it. With the dark sphere protecting him, Dimentio was able to detain it.

"There we go, much better."

He looked at the soul inside the dark energy with glee, carefully balancing it on one hand like it was a trophy of some kind.

"Now for the best part."

He turned his attention back to the seemingly lifeless body. He held Luigi's soul in one hand, and use his other hand to summon another soul; a black soul.

"In case you're wondering, this is an artificial soul…something I have constructed just for you. Call it a gift if you would."

Dimentio hover over to the body and place the black soul on top of Luigi's chest. Almost instantly, the black soul dissolved within Luigi. A slight reddish glow illuminate from his body before dying down.

"And it is done."

Dimentio hover around the bed, examining his work. Luigi's body will need a few days to adjust and recover from his ordeal, but other than that he'll be fine.

"Ah yes, I feel much excitement in me; like a scientist overwhelming with joy over the fact that he had brought life into his monstrous creation."

The jester snapped his fingers. The ropes that bound Luigi's arms and legs to the bed disappeared. The only proof that they were there were the burn marks left on Luigi's tender skin. Dimentio places the golden soul he was holding away to be dealt with later. He come over to the man in green side to give him orders.

"Arise my slave and do my bidding."

His movements were slow and weak, but Luigi did what he was told. He stood up and slide off his bed. He fell down on one knee and bow down to the jester in front him. He spoke; his voice, once full of emotion, now sounding dark and cold.

"As you command it, Master; I am nothing more but your humbled servant."

Luigi looked up to the one he now calls master. His eyes weren't a soft blue anymore. Instead they were a pale white color; a pure sign that the artificial soul had settle in and was in complete control of this body. Dimentio smiled evilly; everything was going precisely as he planned.

"For now on, you shall go by the name of Mr. L... And I, Dimentio, will be your forever master..."

End of Flashback

Another explosion filled the air as well as multiple screams that brought a smirk upon Dimentio's face.

'Yup, this was all worth it.'

Ending Note:

Hope you guys spotted that Frankenstein reference.

The Flashback pretty much explains how Dimentio got Luigi/Mr. L under his control.
