Dimentio’s Return

By Red Koopa

Bowser and Bowser Jr. are standing outside Fort Francis.

Bowser: The place seems bigger then last time.

Bowser Jr: That meanie will pay for this!

Meanwhile the Joker and Cackletta are interrogating some Meowbots.

Cackletta: Tell us where Francis is!

Joker: Tell us or I’ll introduce you to Mr. Wire Cutter.

Meowbot: Ok, ok, I’ll tell you! He’s in his room taking photos of his star to post on digibutter.nerr.

Joker: Let’s go!

Cackletta: Everything you do creeps me out.

Joker: Let me plant the explosive.

Mario enters the fort with Luigi.

Mario: There’s more at stake than an Ancient Star.

Luigi: I have a bad feeling about this.

Francis is taking a picture of the Ancient Star.

Joker: Almost ready… and now!

Joker presses the detonator. He charges into Francis’s room with Cackletta. Bowser and Bowser Jr. run to the place where the explosion took place.  Mario and Luigi follow it too.

Francis: Nerr, a clown. This is so hi-technicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

Joker: We’re here for the Star, so give it up.

Cackletta: If you don’t we’ll kill you!

Francis: Nerr, no!

Joker: You remind me of my father, I hated my father.

Joker gets out a knife.

Mario: Stop right there! Cackletta and Joker?

Joker: You want to save your pathetic little world?

Luigi: What’s he doing here?

Mario: I have no idea.

Bowser and Bowser Jr. enter

Bowser: Mario, I told you to stay back at the castle.

Mario: This is too important to miss.

Luigi: They’re getting away!

The Joker and Cackletta are running with the Ancient Star. Joker gets out a knife and breaks the Star and grabs the page.

Cackletta: Have you ever heard not to run with sharp objects?

Joker: I have no rules.

Mario, Luigi, Bowser and Bowser Jr. run after them.

Mario: We should all split up, we’ll cover more ground.

They all split up.

Cackletta: I’ll go this way, you go that way.

Joker: Fine, we’ll split up!

Mario runs down a large hallway.

Cackletta: Time to leave!

Luigi: Hey, come back!

Luigi chases Cackletta, who has the page to the Dark Prognosticus.

Luigi: I hope Mario is having better luck than me!

Cackletta: Now to get to my escape route near level 3-1.

Mario meanwhile is chasing the Joker.

Joker: You’re the one who always messes with Bowser. You don’t trust him, do you, always afraid he will kidnap Princess Peach…

Mario: I don’t care about Bowser right now.

Joker: You want to know how I got these scars?

Mario: No, but I know how you got kicked in the gut.

Mario kicks Joker in the gut (stomach).

Joker: A little fight in you! I like that.

Mario: Then you’ll love me.

Mario punches Joker in the face while Joker grabs Mario and throws him at the wall. Mario gets up and slams Joker into the wall.

Mario: Where’s the page?

Joker: What page? There is no page!

Mario punches Joker into the wall again.

Mario: Don’t play dumb with me, clown!

Joker: I know what Dimentio really is, he’s a freak like me. He wants you dead more than anyone else.

Mario: Where is the book page?!

Mario kicks Joker in the leg.

Joker: Ok, I’ll tell you because there’s two halves of the page.

A piece a torn paper falls out of Joker’s pocket.

Mario: You knew we were coming.

Mario throws Joker at the wall, grabs the torn page, and leaves.

Joker: Are you just gonna leave me here?

Mario: Hopefully Luigi knows where Cackletta is.

Meanwhile, Luigi tackles Cackletta and kicks her in the leg.

Cackletta: Fine, I’ll deal with you myself!

By now Cackletta is at the top of the Dotwood Tree in level 3-3. Cackletta summons lightning to strike Luigi. Luigi dodges and throws her into a branch. Cackletta snaps the branch and falls to the bottom. She gets on her chair from M&LSS and hovers up to the top, and rams Luigi to the edge, which he clings to. He gets his hat and throws it at the machine and it dents the chair.

Luigi: I thought you died!

Cackletta: Dimentio came to the rubble of the castle’s crashsite and revived me!

Luigi: Then you’re about to die again.

Luigi launches himself over the edge and destroys Cackletta’s chair. Cackletta flies out and falls to the ground, heavily injured.

Cackletta: Impress… Impressive… B…but there is still another part of the page to be recovered.

Mario jumps up.

Mario: We beat you again, for the third time.

Cackletta: You fools, there is still another torn piece of the page!

Mario: I have it right here!

Joker appears from above.

Joker: You made a mistake leaving me there.

The Joker swipes Mario’s half of the page. Cackletta gets up and takes out her half of the page. The Joker puts it and his half in a waterproof ball.

Joker: I’d love to stay and play, but I have a page to return.

The Joker and Cackletta ride the red wind to the Tile Pool.

Mario: We need to chase them.

Mario and Luigi ride the next red wind gust that appears. The Joker and Cackletta are at the pipe that leads underwater.

Cackletta: This is where we stop.

Cackletta and Joker jump off the red wind and into the pipe. Mario and Luigi do the same. Underwater Joker and Cackletta are swimming away. Mario throws his hat at the waterproof capsule that holds the two Dark Prognosticus page pieces. Out of the water they chase Joker and Cackletta.

Cackletta: It doesn’t matter, Master will think of something else!

Cackletta and Joker escape via warp hole.

Mario: Let them go, we got what we needed.

Luigi: They’ll be back though.

Later…

Bowser Jr: I got my Ancient Star back and managed to fix it.

Merlon: I can patch the page back up. With ancient-

Bowser: Shut up already!

Morton: WEDDING CAKE!

Bowser: You shut up too.

Peach: What about the next page?

Merlon: The next page is located in Lineland, right where the cloning place used to be.

Mario: When I was in Lineland I found a strange paper; I took it with me, not knowing what it was.

Mario takes out the Dark Prognosticus page in his pocket

Merlon: YOU HAD IT WITH YOU ALL THIS TIME?!

Mario: Yes, but I didn’t know at first.

Merlon: Ok, then the next one is located in Flipside.

Mario: Where in Flipside?

Merlon: In the Pit of 100 Trials.

Lemmy: I want to go to Flipside.

Iggy: Me too!

Bowser: Fine, but take someone with you!

Lemmy: You!

Bowser: All right, but Mario, no tagging along, understand?

Mario: I’ll watch you from a GPS system. We can talk face to face like on different computers around the world.

Bowser: All right, let’s go then.

Meanwhile…

Dimentio: You failed to recover the page. This is most disappointing. But no matter, this is only a minor setback.

Joker: I’m sorry I failed, but I will crush them next time.

Cackletta: Luigi beat me, this is most shameful.

Dimentio: Leave now!

Joker and Cackletta leave.

Dimentio: Wart, would you please come here!

Wart: You freed me and my minions from Bowser’s abandoned castle. What can I do.

Dimentio: I need you and your minions Mouser, Triclyde and Clawgrip to go to the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials to find a piece of the Dark Prognosticus.

Wart: What about the dragon at the last level?

Dimentio: Mario and his friends did the dirty work. Now go, my new minion.

Wart: Yes, Master Dimentio!

Wart leaves.

Dimentio: I know Mario and his friends will recover all the pages, but I’ll launch an attack on Bowser’s castle and get them back.

Meanwhile in Flipside…

Bowser: Ok, the Pit of 100 Trials should be right over-

Bowser bumps into Count Bleck.

Count Bleck: Who bumps into Count Bleck?! Hmmm, do I know you from somewhere?

Bowser: Uh, yeah! I kicked your tail back at the castle; does the word Timpani ring a bell?

Count Bleck: Do you mean Count Bleck’s wife Timpani? And yes, you’re King Bowser, correct?

Bowser: I thought we beat you in Rise of the Shy Guys!

Count Bleck: Count Bleck went home and got scolded by wife Lady Timpani.

Tippi: Blumiere, what are- Bowser, what are you doing here?

Bowser: Long story. We need to get to the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials.

Lemmy: This is weird! Why should I even post this?

Bowser: It’s for the good of Lemmy’s Land.

Lemmy: Yeah, I guess I’ll post this.

Iggy: There it is!

The Pit of 100 Trial’s pipe appears.

Bowser: Here we go!

Tippi: Me and Blumiere will stay here.

After hours of going through the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials they finally make to the last floor only to find Wart, Mouser and Triclyde about to leave with the page.

Bowser: Wart, what are you doing here?

Wart: Ugggh! Bowser, I always wanted to say this but not yet. Attack, minions!

Mouser attacks Lemmy, who dodges his attacks.  Iggy attacks Triclyde, who tries to bite Iggy. Lemmy throws a bowling ball at Mouser but misses. Mouser throws Lemmy at the wall, almost knocking Lemmy unconscious. Iggy is thrown across the room next to Lemmy and both are unable to fight. Bowser punches Wart, who punches Bowser back.

Wart: We used to fight all the time. I loved to pick on you and make you either mad or cry.

Bowser: You have never made a great leader, I knew you would do what Dad (Morton Sr) despised most: kill Princess Peach. The leader of the Koopas was supposed to marry her and become king of the MK.

Wart: I deserved the throne more then you did.

Wart punches Bowser to the ground. Bowser, weakened, watches Wart get out a sword and point it at Lemmy and Iggy.

Bowser: No! Don’t hurt them, they’re my kids.

Wart: Now I’ll say what I’ve wanted to say to you since the day you became King of the Loopas. When I kill your children you’ll feel how I felt when I lost everything I had waited so long for! How I felt when you stole what was mine! You took everything from me and I’ll start to take everything from you, starting with these kids, then your wife, and then your other kids.

Bowser: Wart, stop pointing that sword at my children. Kamek on Yoshi’s Island said it was my destiny to become King Koopa!

Wart: Kamek’s just an old fool who knows nothing about being king.

Bowser is starting to cry.

Bowser: (crying) Please don’t my children, Wart!

Wart: Why shouldn’t I?

Bowser: What happened to you was my fault, yes, but it was so the Koopas could survive another generation. That’s what I obey first. Bowser Jr. will obey that rule when he becomes king, and so will his successor, and so on.

Wart: ENOUGH! Time for your kids to die.

Just as Wart is about to hurt Lemmy and Iggy, Count Bleck and Tippi swoop in and stop Wart.

Count Bleck: Do not obey the Dark Prognosticus! It will only consume you, says Count Bleck.

Tippi: He was about to kill his kids. You arrived just in time, Blumiere.

Count Bleck whacks Triclyde and Mouser with his staff. Bowser punches Wart to the ground unconscious.

Bowser: The thing is, Wart, when you picked on me I always went to Dad to tell on you and you got in trouble.

Bowser grabs the Prognosticus page from him and looks down at him.

Tippi: Surprised you didn’t kill him, Bowser.

Bowser: Always give family a second chance, even if they want to kill your children.

Tippi: Blumiere and I will always help you if you need us.

Later…

Bowser: We got the page!

Merlon: That makes four, right?

Mario: Only three left, then.

Merlon: One should be in Sammer’s Kingdom, I think.

Luigi: I want to go by myself.

Mario: Fine, but be careful.

Luigi leaves to go to Sammer’s Kingdom.

Meanwhile…

Wart: My idiot brother defeated me, my Lord. I confess my failure.

Dimentio: You’ll get your revenge at another time, my fly-eating friend.

Wart leaves.

Dimentio: Doopliss, are you finished with your 15-page report?

Doopliss walks in with a bunch of papers.

Doopliss: Yes, my Lord, nice and neat.

Dimentio: Good. I have another task for you, go to Sammer’s Kingdom and find the next page. King Sammer has it locked away. The Sammer Guy’s will fall for your trick if you shapeshift into King Sammer, and will let you pass without battling. Once at Sammer’s palace, kidnap the real King Sammer and lock him up. When Mario’s crew arrives, give them a treasure chest with a trap in it, and they’ll be captured.

Doopliss: I’ll do it for my regular fee plus a bonus when I capture King Sammer. I want my money when I get back regardless.

Dimentio: Very well, but this time I’ll make you do a 100-page report if you fail.

Doopliss: Ok, Emperor Dimentio!

Dimentio: Ciao!

Later...

Luigi: Here I go now.
