Mr. L Returns
  Chapter 6
What? Who do wha?


Lusaun leaned against the nearest pillar, sighing. An inner turmoil ragged inside of her. Disappointment and fear mingled with distrust edged closer at her brain. Wile Worry and confusion made it difficult for her thoughts to transform into sense.
Something didn't feel right about Dimentio…
Something didn't feel right about Shada…
Something was wrong. Terribly wrong.
Her senses clashed with the mingling traces of Dimentio's Power and the fading aura of Shada's blood.
Wait. Dimentio's Power? When did he become so powerful that it fades Shada's own? That got Lusaun thinking. Quickly she scanned the room, pleased to find it vacant. Pulling away the rug that ran its length down the corridor, she wiped out her spell book from her pack. Spinning around still on the floor she grasped the three crystalline claws from where they lied on bloody marble, repeating the same step with a partly disintegrated pillar. She gasped. The pillar was bursting with raw Arcane power.
Arcane…
Who has that much Arcane Knowledge to access this much power…
"Lusaun!" Mario's voice sliced into the train of thoughts. "Lusaun by the Mushroom kingdom, what are you doing?!" The Green witch looked down, not even noticing that she already mapped out the Arcane Barriers that can come near clashing with the Natural Order.
"No… no, no, no, no, no, NO!" The Magi screeched. Her fist clutched tightly around the claws as they dig into her flesh. The Red blood dripped onto the map of Reality, in one specific place all three times.
The Dimensional realms. More specifically: Dimension-D, the closest dimensional bridge or rare connection point with the secluded Natural Magic. Aint good. Nah, aint good.
Crap… Mario do you still remember were Castle Bleck is?" Lusaun questioned. The plumber nodded in confusion but before he could ask they were running out of the castle on their way to the dark palace. "Tell me were to go to get to the door, then if we are lucky the pure hearts are still there right?"
"Well yeah, we never touched them after Dimentio's Final Act!"
"… oh yeah… good thing they are not like the Chaos Emeralds!" Lusaun joked as she slowed down before stopping completely.
"Something wrong?"
"Well, yes. Why do we run we I can summon my favored mount?"
"… What mount? I never have seen you with a Mount!" Mario turned to her confused.
"Well… I never really needed a mount because I never really been in such a hurry here, but back in my, err… Shada's home land it is HUGE compared to this world.  So I left her back there with my more… hostile equipment when I came here. She is so cute!" Lusaun at this point was jumping like a little school girl with free candy. AS she jumped she retrieved a whistle the shape of a carrot from around her neck and blew into it. The first Albino beast wasn't as cute or fluffy as the next…


"Here 'ittle man! Take care o' 'at kitty!" O'Chunks yelled at Luigi, who currently was sitting at the far end of the chamber. The green plumber looked up from his folded arms to see the Brawns-Over-Brains toss a silvery figure onto the floor. Liquid gold followed shortly after the unmoving creature. Blue eyes widened as they saw a folded pair of Fluffy feline ears, recognizing them at the odd creature that Lusaun took such a liking too.
Get to her you fool! Stop gawking at the form! She's hurt!
Luigi wasted little time, springing up to sprint over to the Warrior. He kneeled down next to the hurt form, taking note of the red medallion that he could have sworn was blue. Reaching out he carefully grasped the crimson butterfly, only to have the entire body crumble into dust!
LUIGI!!!!! YOU FOOL!
"NASTASIA!!!!" O'Chunks nearly screams out the door in panic. The Small nearly pink dot down the corridor stopped it's decent into the never ending hall to turn around.
"NOW WHAT O'CHUNKS?" Nastasia yells back clearly agitated.
"That o' cat yer just dropped off is gone!"
"Now how in the name of Count Bleck did you lose an Albino cat on two legs? Please, indulge me in your failure!" The assistant was immediately in front of O'Chunks, looking into the vacant room only occupied by Luigi and Peach. Blinking she turned back to the muscle man in utter shock. "No one can get-"
"You… immortals… such fools!"
"-Out?" The servants turned to the Albino warrior. Shada stood calmly before them, waiting for them to say something with intelligence. When neither said anything, she took action by punching O'Chunks and using Nastasia as a spring to leap over the two. In mid-air she grasped both Luigi and Peach to throw them onto her back before twisting and bursting into flames. In her place rested The Phoenix soaring out of the room in high speeds. The ear piercing call echoed throughout the halls ringing back to the trio's ears. Luigi looked up from hugging the flaming feathers to see a dark aqua cloth attached to the wings; out of curiosity he grasped it just in time to see a barrage of bullets hurling towards them. The green plumber pulled against the cloth to the left forcing Shada to bank sharply nearly avoiding the bullets. To say the least Luigi was very happy, he turned around to sit backwards with Peach behind him and directed Shada away from the bullets.
"Oh, wait 'till Mario hears that I flew a Phoenix! Not only a Phoenix but SHADA!!!" Luigi squealed happily. The Transformed creature smiled, liking to have someone help her, especially one that she trusted. It was agonizing three hours before they found the door and more then once Luigi screamed, "Will this hallway ever end?"
"Luigi look! The door!" Peach cried over the wind. The phoenix quickly folded her wings to dive quickly through the near closed door way. A loud tri-fold scream was heard as they ripped through the door. The Phoenix barrel rolled clumsily in attempt to gain satiability without much luck, her right wing was broken. Just to make matters worse another barrage of bullets and explosions were hot on their trail. Luigi turned around to grasp peach protectively as Shada was hit by the barrage. The pain set the Transformation offline as she revolted back to her former self, grasping Luigi in her healthy arm as the other hung loosely by flesh and fur. Luigi was forced to let go of peach by order of Mr.L to grasp Shada tightly trying not to cut himself on the sharp silver or the arching scales that made up said material. Though Peach only opened her Umbrella to float down to the nearing ground.
Shada if she could speak would scream a quite simple statement as she plummeted to the ground. It is not overly elaborate, and not as near as funny as 'Here, hold my beer.' But… still as good. About something along the lines of  "Worst. Planet. Ever!" or… "Worst. Rescue. Ever." Instead, she collided with the ground painfully quick. Luigi could not mistake the sound of her Bones shattering under the impact, but crawled out of under the now limp arms to stare in horror as the perfect warrior lied mangled and deformed in the crater. Looking up he saw the advancing army surround the trio, when peach landed, he'll never know.
"We warned you not to try to escape! Now if you come peacefully no one will get hurt!" Nastasia yelled down to the trio. Luigi glanced back at Shada with rage building up inside of him, She didn't harm them! She hates Humans! She tried to save us HUMANS! She tried to do good… and this is her punishment? The Green warrior reached under the albino cluster of blood and fur to grasp the velvet covered handle of Shada's Obsidian blade. He half expected the blade to try to reject him when he felt how much power it had trapped under the hollowed out obsidian only the blade became a bit heavier to a more comfortable level. Twirling the blade a few times to get the feel of it he turned to Peach giving her the order to keep Shada from any harms way.
"Listen up you Freaks! You already harmed one of your own! I've played nice, this time you'll have to take me down first!" Luigi yelled up to the followers.
"My, my I was hoping we wouldn't have to hurt you… WHAT THE-!" Nastasia was cutoff by a large fluffy creature landed on the other side of the ledge.
"Oi, You are not aloud to hurt any of them!" The Green Witch stood up upon the mount with anger apparent in her stature. Luigi looked up and nearly fainted in embarrassment. Lusaun and Mario were riding on a Giant Bunny. The younger brother dropped the blade to cover his face with his hands in attempt to shield him self from the sight.
"Oh come on… Shada at least had the decency to have a more interesting form of mount…" He whined as Lusaun made short work of the army by blasting them away. Mario came down after Lusaun was done to see if Peach was all right, then checked up on Luigi.  Lusaun carefully tried to awaken the injured Warrior in vain.
"What are we to do Lusaun? The army will return soon and we can't move her." Luigi asked referring to Shada. Lusaun sighed angrily.
"We reset the bones and then… I don't know… I told you how much the gravity here affects her; the bones are still under pressure." Lusaun mussed waving her hands above the prone form. Luigi and Mario exchanged skeptical glances both unsure about the Alien. "You two stop it!" Lusaun scolded, standing up. "Listen, I'm going to teleport us back to my house. Do not move until we arrive!"  With that said she raised her hands into the air stating a few words before light engulfed them all.

Soon they arrived inside Lusaun's household, in her room to be exact. Luigi looked around the huge room in aw at the beautiful shades of green room lined with shelves of Books from a different world then finding the queen sized bed pushed up against the corner of two wall sized windows that openly showed a garden of unseen flowers. Lusaun rested the comatose creature on her bed then turned to address the group only to see Luigi gawking at her garden.
"They are nocturnal flowers. More specifically Night Shades and Roses, or forms of them I should add…" Lusaun informed the trio. "Come now! I got food!" That made them race to the direction of the wonderful aroma coming from the kitchen that connected to the living room. Though Lusaun stayed behind knowing all-too-well that the group of humans will wear them selves out then pass out in the living room, so she turned back to her soul-sister lying unmoving on the forest green comforter so she sat on the edge of said bed brushing back the silvery threads that framed the furry face. 'Shada Mor're, something has happened to you…' Restanding Lusaun grasped Shada's broken arm then snapped the bones back into place, then repeated with all the other bones that remained unset.
The clock stroked mid-night and Lusaun had successfully healed the Warrior. The Albino was currently curled into a ball within the heavy coverings attempting to seek warmth since her armor was removed. Lusaun looked down onto the creature with pity.
"All this time, you despised Humans. All this time you remained emotionless, hanging onto a false persona to keep your allies from despairing. Stop secluding yourself from others, even your love feels alone around you…" Lusaun whispered leaving the room to check up on the guests. Luckily Mario and Peach were currently cuddling in slumber of the large bed, though Luigi wasn't to be found. Upon searching she came across him asleep leaning against the Sink with a sponge in one hand and a bowl in the other. Giggling Lusaun laid her hand on his shoulder giving it a light shake to awaken the light sleeper.
"Huh? Oh, Ms. Lusaun… Sorry must have fallen asleep cleaning the dishes." Luigi yawned. Lusaun shook her head.
"Go to sleep Luigi! It's not your job to clean up!" Lusaun responded.
"You've done so much the least I could do was to clean up after Mario!" They both laughed at the comment. "Listen, I'm sorry for scaring you, I didn't mean to get caught."
"Don't fret about it, it helped show Shada's true thoughts about this.  She's like a safe, holding treasures ever so rare but will not speak of them. Sadly we've never gone against her decisions. No matter how crazy they will seem at the time, they work out perfectly."
"Then what happened back at Castle Bleak?"
"I'll say it's because she wasn't known, and she doesn't know about this place than her own. It was more of a Run Like Hell situation."
"What's a Run Like Hell situation?" Luigi asked. Lusaun stared in shock.
"Run Like Hell is shorter version of Run-like-hell-is-chaseing-after-you-and-you-do-have-a-chance-to-get-out. Or… Shada was thinking of the Run-like-hell-then-think-of-a-plan-B, C, D, E, F, G, etc."
"Hm…" Luigi hummed his eyes growing heavy. Lusaun smiled, leading the dozing Luigi towards the living room in hopes of at least getting him to the makeshift bed. Luckily she was able to do just that with less problems.

The outside air was a refreshing change from the cramped household, which was designed to only hold at most two and a guest. Lusaun's emerald slippers gently slid into the grass as she made her way into the garden at the back of her house. The roses moved out of her way so she was not to be cut on the thorns, and the Deadly Night-Shade followed suit. Life was full, so was the moon. The silvery hues wrapping it's self around the petals of the more Albino flowers. Lusaun stopped short of her little walk still hearing foot steps attempting at silence in complete Silence.
'All right then, if you wish to have me blind then I'll play this game.' Lusaun started to wonder aimlessly into the forest, taking note of the second life-beat following her in the shadows. In minuets a fist flew out of the trees with dangerous intent at the Magi. Lusaun ducked down swinging her legs at the intruder, knocking the said assassin to the ground with a thud. The Magi grabbed the brown hair of the attacker, yanking it to it's feet. With her other hand, she ripped off the dark Mask and Hat.
"DAISY!?!" Lusaun jumped back in surprise, not expecting it to be the princess to have stalked her. Daisy glared at the Green Witch, murder in her eyes.
"Where is he, what have you done to him!" She accused, shouting at Lusaun.
"What? Wait, who?"
"You know who, whelp!"
"No I don't! There are many, Many, MANY Males in this world!"
"Him! HIM! The Darkest warrior." Daisy screeched charging with near deadly speeds. Lusaun was faster, springing back onto her hands she kicked the undercover princess then round-housed her into the nearby pond.
"Daisy, listen! I don't have him hostage, he came willingly!"
"No! You stay-" The princess was cut off by a scream of pure terror coming form the direction of Lusaun hidden home. Daisy picked herself out of the pond soaking wet, looking in the direction that the Green witch ran off to. "Away… from… my Boyfriend?"
Lusaun busted through the front door, rushing over to Luigi and Mario attempting to break their way into her room. Luigi stopped turning to Lusaun. "Ms. Lusaun, what's going on, we can't get into your room, not even through the windows!"
"Listen, Shada's the only one in there, she NEVER screams in terror. Mario get heck away from the door before you kill us all!" Lusaun snatched a coat hanger from Mario who was currently using it as a makeshift battling ram.
"Kill you! I'm trying to get in! Well excuse me for trying to help!" Mario snapped back.
"By destroying my house? Mario this isn't like saving Peach! Shada's a Warrior, ANY Hostility will trigger her. Slamming a overgrown stick at her door? Hostile, hostile, hostile, HOSTILE!"
"ME! HOSTILE!!!! LUSAUN YOU ARE INSAINE!" Mario screamed back. The argument carried on, leaving poor Luigi alone in the hall.
'Note: Mario is stupid. Note: Lusaun is tense. Note: Aforementioned door is opening. Wait… WHAT!!!!' Luigi mentally noted out of boredom, before nearly having a heart attack when he realized that the door to the Locked room was slowly opening as if what ever was driving it was scared to open said object.  Lusaun had to peel herself off the over handing beam attached to the ceiling to see white furred fingers wrap it's self on the outer framework of the wood to pull out the door farther. Finally after a millennium Shada came into view though she looked different somehow.
Was it the Blood and cuts allover her that wasn't because of the previous battle?
Was it because of the defeated and freighted stance?
Was it… The fact that she didn't have her armor on?
Yeah, that's what wrong! She's in a friking dress!
Lusaun quickly rushed to catch the fainting warrior calling her name repeatingly in attempt to awaken the comatose combatant.  Luigi and Mario peeked bravely inside the room to find it an utter mess. Blood both gold and red lined nearly everything, misplaced fur and a few strands of flesh scattered in remote places. The younger brother covered him mouth to dash into the bathroom leaving Mario to inform Lusaun of the scene.
"Don't just stand there you moron! Get in there and find out what attacked her!" Lusaun commanded. The guardian scrunched up his face, taking his first step into the battlefield fumbling for the light switch.
'Sweet 'shroom! Why does that creature have it so dark here-!' His train of thought was interrupted by the gore of the room. After swallowing back down his dinner, he spotted a golden/ purple helm. The Helmet reminded him of Dimentio's hat…
"Lusaun, Is it possible that the 'Dimension-D' you were talking about be Dimentio?" Mario asked showing the helm.
"Well yes… oh, no." Lusaun answered. "LUUIGIIII!" On call the unknown brother skidded to a halt in front of Lusaun.
"Yes?"
"We have a huge threat on our hands now. You'll be disconnected from Mr.L so we may teach you both on how to fight one of both my Magic and Shada's Magic. When she awakens… we'll begin."
The night held a howl. The sun did not rise for the time it was called as if a other power kept the ball of burning fire from arising with it's bright fury. Power of that night unleashed secrets of many, and hidden many more truths.
