The Dangerous Game of Luigi, Mr.L, & Dimentio [DISCONTINUED FOR NOW]

Return Of The Green Thunder

"M-murdered?!" Luigi stammered.

Mario nodded.

"How would Mr.L be able to kill the king of Koopas?!" Daisy exclaimed, "Last I checked, Mr.L only did street crimes!"

Mario threw up his hands in defeat.

"I know why..." Luigi murmured.

Mario and Daisy turned to face Luigi.

"Why?" They both asked.

"He wanted to make a statement," Luigi said, "He wants everyone to know that he's back, by doing something that would make his presence known."

Luigi shook his head.

"But I refuse to believe that it was Mr.L! I got rid of him! I saw it before my very eyes!" Luigi exclaimed.

Daisy shrugged.

"Then it must have been a sick joke, someone trying to make us think that Mr.L is back just to spook us," Daisy stated.

"Are you two SERIOUS?!" Mario shouted, "Bowser has been murdered by YOUR alter-ego, and you're just going to IGNORE IT?!"

"MR.L IS DEAD!" Luigi shouted.

Mario grunted in frustration as he stomped towards the door.

"Fine! But when someone else gets murdered and you get framed, don't say I didn't warn you!" Mario exclaimed.

He slammed the door shut and Luigi let out a sigh. Daisy put a hand on his shoulder.

"Are you sure that it wasn't Mr.L?" Daisy asked.

Luigi glanced at his empty shelf, where the pot used to be.

"Positive," Luigi stated.

Daisy sighed as she put on a coat.

"Well, I'm going to visit Peach to try and find out who it really was. I might be a while, so do you think you would be fine if I was gone overnight?" Daisy asked.

"Of course," Luigi replied, giving her a hug.

She hugged back and gave him a warm smile.

"I'll be back a soon as possible," Daisy said.

With one more hug goodbye, she was out the door. Luigi sighed as he walked to the living room.

"Mr.L can't hurt me anymore," Luigi murmured.

Luigi stretched as he let out a yawn. He walked over to his couch and laid down. Luigi soon fell asleep.

----------------

Several hours had passed and it was now becoming dark out. Luigi yawned as he woke up from his dreamless sleep. He shook his head and looked out the window, seeing how late it was.

"Oh wow. I didn't think that I was that tired, heh." Luigi said to himself.

He noticed that Daisy was still out. Luigi got up and did a small stretch.

"I should probably get some dinner since I skipped lunch," Luigi murmured.

Luigi whistled as he leisurely walked to the kitchen. He made himself some food and then leaned against the counter with a sigh.

"I knew that the Mr.L was fake. Mario would have confronted me immediately if anything happened." Luigi stated.

He finished up his food and let out another yawn.

"Jeez, all those sleepless nights filled with night-terrors must be taking their toll. I'm so tired..." Luigi murmured.

Luigi held back another yawn as he tottered off to bed.

----------------

Outside Luigi's house, a dark figure darted from shadow to shadow. The man eventually reached the side of the house and began to scale the wall. He reached the second-floor bathroom window and smashed it inward, quickly slipping inside.

Luigi was lying asleep in bed when he heard the sound. He bolted upright and went pale. Luigi quietly got out of bed and found a flashlight. He crept down the halls, not wanting to turn on the lights because it would alert the someone where he was, assuming it was a break-in.

Because it was.

Luigi finally made it to the bathroom, where he heard the noise. He glanced into the room fearing someone in there. But he didn't see anything. Luigi crept inside and saw the broken glass and some blood that was most likely from the person who broke in.

Luigi decided that the trespasser was not there. He turned around and was greeted with a familiar smirk.

"Hello, Mr.ScardyCat." Mr.L chuckled.

Before Luigi could let out a scream, Mr.L kicked his legs out from underneath him and pinned him to the floor.

"M-Mr.L?! HOW?! I-I killed you!" Luigi stammered.

"You wish!" Mr.L retorted, pushing on Luigi's back with his boot.

Luigi let out a grunt of pain.

"Why are you here?! And why do you look... different?" Luigi asked.

Mr.L was a little paler than before and had a darker hair color than normal.

"Because of YOU, I needed to be someone else's alter-ego! Thankfully, this man was available." Mr.L stated.

Luigi could see the bloody cuts on his gloves. Mr.L was definitely the one who broke in.

"Who could have possibly let you into their head?!" Luigi demanded.

"None of your concern! I wish to keep my alter's identity a secret!" Mr.L spat, "Now as for why I'm here, I want that receipt."

"What?" Luigi asked.

Mr.L pushed down on Luigi harder.

"The receipt to the Floroshroom you purchased once upon a time. I would like to get a few myself. So I may regulate transformations." Mr.L said.

"I don't have it!" Luigi exclaimed.

Mr.L picked him up and then threw him back onto the floor.

"Liar." Mr.L hissed, "I've seen it in your mind. Where is it?!"

Luigi unintentionally cast a glance at one of the drawers near the sink. Mr.L saw this and smirked. He quickly pulled out the drawer and emptied the contents. A single piece of paper fluttered to the floor. Mr.L grabbed it and looked it over, a devilish grin spreading across his face.

"Perfect..." Mr.L murmured.

He pocketed it and then lept out the broken window. Luigi scrambled to catch a glimpse of where he went, but he was gone. Luigi let out a shout of frustration as he buried his head in his hands.

"Now he can transform back whenever he wants!" Luigi exclaimed, "He's gonna be hard to find like a ghost! Oh... I need to solve this mystery! And I know the people to help..."

Luigi picked up his phone and called up Daisy, Mario, and Dimentio.
