Chapter 4
Mr. L made his way back. He decided to rob a simple market place because he was hungry. He knew that Luigi didn't like him stealing, but at this moment in time, he didn't care. He waited atop his hill. The same old hill. This was it. He was going to tell Luigi that he had officially given up. Dimentio wasn't out there. It was time they moved on. He leaned against a tree, munching on an apple. It was still dark out. It was about 1:00 am, so it was pretty quiet. He didn't expect to see Luigi for a while, so he just chilled up there, waiting.
Luigi was running as fast as he could, object in hand. He had to show Mr. L! He ran all the way home and up the hill, it was still dark. Once he got to the top, he leaned over, gasping and sputtering after running so far. "Whoa, what's wrong with you" Mr. L said. Luigi looked up. "*Gasp* ah, *Heave* you're here!" Mr. L stepped away from the tree he was leaning against. "Yeah, I'm here. I'm here to tell you I quit." Luigi's excited expression suddenly turned to shock. "W-what? You quit? No, but listen, I-" "I don't care what you say, I'm done!" Mr. L interrupted. Luigi tried to reason, "No, but, *gasp* sorry, *gasp* gimme a minute. Ran all the way here." Luigi suddenly collapsed. Mr. L laughed. "Dude, your house is just down there, it isn't that far. You really need to step up the cardio." Luigi was lying face down on the grass. He lifted his hand, holding up one finger signaling that he needed a minute.
Luigi eventually caught his breath and was able to speak. "Mr. L, you can't give up yet. I-" "I don't care. Whatever you say won't get me to change my mind. It's time we move on." Luigi tried to continue, "But-" Mr. L kept interrupting. "No buts, I'm done. There is nothing that will make me change my mind." Luigi grabbed the object out of his back pocket. "Not even....this?"
Mr. L's eyes widened. "How? How did you get that?" He suddenly snatched it from Luigi's hands. He looked down at it, brushing his hand over it. He suddenly felt tears forming in his eyes. He looked up to Luigi, who was watching him silently. "How. Did. You. Get. This??" Luigi suddenly responded. "Right, right. Well, I was on my way to Daisy's place, when a big, dark figure took her. I chased after him, when he dropped this." Mr. L looked hopeful. "It's Dimentio's mask. I- I can't believe it."
Luigi smiled. "Whoever that figure who took Daisy was must know something about Dimentio, so I was thinking.... WE CAN GO ON AN ADVENTURE TOGETHER TO FIND THEM!! I can get back my princess, and you can get back your Dimentio!!!" Luigi looked way to excited about this. Mr. L was still looking down at the mask. "Did you see who this person was? Where they were going?" Luigi looked down. "I couldn't see who they were."
Mr. L looked to him. He knew what was happening. Luigi was filling him with hope, again. "We don't even know who this person was, or where they were going." Luigi continued smiling. "Well, I know you're really handy with inventions and stuff, so in some of my spare time, I decided to see if i could build some useful tools. While running I was able to throw a tracker on the figure, so we should be able to pinpoint their location! I have a second device which shows a map, leading us along the exact path the mysterious figure took! We will be able to literally follow them to wherever they're heading!" Mr. L looked into Luigi's blue eyes. "But what about Mario? Peach? Your life here?" Luigi shrugged. "Mario drops everything to find his princess all the time. It's fine!" Mr. L rolled his eyes. He looked back down at the mask. He was filled with a feeling. A feeling of...determination. "Alright, I'll go help you find Daisy, but don't be disappointed when Dimentio isn't there." Luigi smiled. "If. If he isn't there."
