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

New Alter-Ego In Town

~Still Flashback~

Dimentio's POV:

I made sure to get going fast in case Luigi's brother came any time soon. Based on what Luigi told me earlier, his involuntary transformations into Mr.L occurred at night. So I assume that's when it will happen to me if this worked at all.

"Wow. You're in a rush to get going!" Luigi chuckled, "What do you have planned?"

"Nothing. I just do not want to be around if or when your brother or wife come." I stated.

He shrugged.

"See you later then." Luigi dismissed, closing the door behind him.

"I hope not," I muttered.

I snapped my fingers, teleporting away. My surroundings changed to my pocket dimension, Dimension D. Hopefully whatever happened to me would be less painful with my power being amplified here. Though time was screwy here, my body was regulated for the Mushroom Kingdom's clock, so nighttime would be rolling around sooner rather than later.

I just sat there, waiting for any sign of change. From what Luigi revealed to me, his transformations into Mr.L were usually sudden and quite noticeable, so I just need to wait.

After almost three hours of waiting, nothing had happened. I would have probably forgotten what I was waiting for if it wasn't for the feeling of the plant rubbing against the inside of my jester cap.

I looked down at my hands.

"Was it a dud? Did it not work? Is L truly gone like my clone promised Luigi?" I questioned out loud.

After a few more moments of waiting, it hit me like a jolt. A blow to the stomach. A painful surge. It started in my head, like the worst headache imaginable, and then spread through the rest of my body, like a surge of power through my veins. I doubled over onto the floor and couldn't prevent myself from letting out a scream at the top of my lungs.

If this is what being sprouted feels like on a normal basis then I have some apologizing to do!

After a few more moments of this gut-wrenching pain, it started to fade. But I didn't stop screaming, no. I didn't seem to be able to control myself as the pain faded along with the rest of the feeling in my body. Soon enough, the pain completely stopped and I laid on the ground motionless as if I had sleep paralysis.

A few seconds later, I heard a groan of pain. It came from my body but not from me. I watched from my body's point of view as my body sat up and rubbed my head.

"Oh, Grambi... What the heck happened..?"

That was Mr.L's voice! And it came from MY MOUTH! It worked! The sprout transfer WORKED! Perhaps there might be a way for him to hear me...

Mr.L continued to rub my masked forehead as if he were just waking up from a long sleep.

"L! L, can you hear me?" I tried to exclaim.

Though no sound came out of my mouth, Mr.L seemed to hear me. How could I tell? He immediately flinched and activated his Thunderhand. My body has somehow been altered so he can use THUNDERHAND?!

"Show yourself, you stupid clown!" Mr.L shouted.

"Stupid clown? That's an odd way to thank the person who just saved your life and let you out." I scoffed.

"Wait, what?"

"I took the sprout from Luigi just as he was about to destroy it, and ultimately, you."

I could feel rage bubbling up inside him as he made us stand up.

"That ungrateful COWARD! He tried to get rid of me!" Mr.L shouted.
