Joker's Running Wild (Deltarune, Super Paper Mario, Kirby Super Star)

Chapter 14

Present

Luigi and Dimentio went through the Dimensional door and snuck behind some pillars. "Quick. The elevator's this way," Luigi said. Dimentio sighed. 

"I still don't see why you won't let me just teleport us there." "Because, that's lazy! We're only going to use your magic if we need it."

The two got into the elevator. It slowly started moving down.

Dimentio impatiently tapped his foot.

"Ugh! Does this stupid elevator go any faster??"

Luigi rolled his eyes. "Dimentio, it's been 20 seconds."

Dimentio crossed his arms and leaned against the elevator wall, when the door open. "Oh, thank GRAMBI! Could that elevator BE any slower??" Luigi giggled some more. "Since when were you so impatient?" "I don't know. Maybe it's the fact that I waited years for my plan for a perfect world to fall into place, only for it to be ruined by the pure hearts! Then, I spent who knows how long waiting in the Underwhere! So sorry if I'm a little edgy," Dimentio remarked.

The duo stepped out of the elevator, when Luigi saw some diamonds flying through the air. He immediately grabbed Dimentio and forced him to duck. "Whoa! Watch out!"  

Dimentio looked around, before Luigi grabbed him and pulled him behind a building to hide.

Dimentio's eyes went wide. "Whoa, look at this! Jevil did this all by himself? I'm so proud! Look at how he's grown! You know, when I first met him, I would have never guessed he'd come this far. He was just this boring, normal Jester." Luigi looked at Dimentio as he kept rambling. "That's...great? Anyway, what's our plan?"

Dimentio nodded. "Right! A plan! I suggest we join him. With my brains, his energy, and your....ah....presence, we'll be unstoppable!" Luigi gave Dimentio a dirty look. "No."

 Dimentio sighed. "Oh, don't look at me like that. I was only joking." Luigi looked around. "Do you know why his attacks are card based?" Dimentio nodded. "Yeah. He comes from a mostly card based world. He's the joker card." Luigi nodded. "Ah. I see. But what's with the weird knife?" Dimentio shrugged. "I don't know. I think his friend gave it to him or something. He always has it near him. He can also transport himself inside it.....wait."

Dimentio held his hand up and listened.

"Oh, My, Grambi."

"What, what is it??" Luigi asked.

Dimentio had a serious expression on his face. "I can't believe it...."

.....

"HIS THEME IS COOLER THAN MINE!"

Luigi gave Dimentio a confused look. "Umm, what?" Dimentio looked down, clearly upset.

"Uhh, are you...crying?" 

"Look, it's been a very long, crazy day, so don't judge me!" 

"Uhh....okay?"

"I can't believe it. I never even got to hear his theme until now. Why is he so much better?? I'm supposed to be the best." 

"This is what your worried about right now? His theme??"

Dimentio started sobbing into his hands. "Quit Judging me. I've been in prison for years. I'm allowed to be upset!" Luigi placed his hand on Dimentio's back, making an attempt to calm him. "Hey, hey, if it makes you feel better, I think your themes are cooler." Dimentio shook his head. "No, they're not. Quit lying. You're just saying that."
