Chance

(Amidst the void, Lo wakes up in darkness with the Glitchy Gang)

Lo: What is this place?

Meggy: Did we just die?

Kel: I don't think this is the afterlife i've been.

SMG4: Guys, let's stick together. Who knows what twisted critters we'll encounter.

(Suddenly, a light popped out. On it, is a hooded figure sitting on a wooden chair, sipping coffee)

?????: You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

SMG4: Who are you? & where are we?

?????: I didn't expect to see your face again. It's almost like our first encounter had been tampered.

Lo: That exactly what happened to all of us.

?????: Heh, guess i wasn't the only one. Back when you posted that cringy video, some creeps locked me out of the restroom. When i checked who they are, he blasted me, (removes her cloak, revealing a short blond-haired dictator woman with a Youtube emblem on her suit) & TURNED ME INTO THIS!

SMG4: SUSAN?!

Susan Worcestershire: You sure right. I'm turned into this marketing simp from that arch-enemy of yours. The next thing i knew, i blacked out & been forced to sip coffee for the rest of my days.

Meggy: (carries a Starbucks cup) Guys, i think we ended up in the coffee store.

Luigi: Wait a minute... This is no coffee store. This is the Internet Graveyard's ONLY coffee store.

SMG4: (looks out the window to see Ugandan Knuckles preparing a sacrifice) Yep, that certainly is.

Meggy: Well, what are we gonna do now?

Lo: Guys... i think i had the download from that debut episode of mine.

Maya: What?!

Susan Weekend: How's that possible? He just deleted you.

Lo: Yeah, i got a feeling that the videos will be ruined, so i downloaded mine for safekeeping.

Kel: That's my husband for ya.

Susan Wooloo: You sure did have a number of surprises. I'll use the rest of my energy to help Mario out. You two make sure he succeeds on getting the phone. It's the only way to repost our debut videos.

SMG4: This is a one-time opportunity. Who knows what happens if he gets you.

Lo: SMG4, we're a couple that had been through countless s**t than all of yours combined. We can handle this.

Kel: See ya on the other side.

(Just like that, Kel then reuploads the video on Youtube, sending them back to Downtown. Meanwhile, Francis noticed something)

Francis: Master, they have arrived.

???: Stop them from reaching the phone. Do whatever it means necessary to seal that deal.

Francis: On it.

Mario: Hey stinky! Iiiiiiii'm gonna kick SOMEBODY'S ASSSS!!!!!

SMG3: WHAT THE? HOW DO YOU COME OUT?

(As he's ready to shoot Mario with the remote, Francis arrived with a katana at hand. He tries attacking Mario, only to be blocked by Lo & Kel)

Francis: you two.

SMG3: Seriously, who let you out?!

Francis: Hold it. This is my fight. (tries striking on Lo, which gave time for SMG3 to leave)

Kel: Mario, the remote!

(Mario then flies off to SMG3's path, leaving behind the Snitchy Gang. As soon as Mario grabbed SMG3, Lo & Francis had arrived as well)

Lo: Great job, Mario! Now get it!

Francis: if only you were a girl, i'd german suplex you.

Lo: whut?

(Francis then yeets him off & threw his blade onto Mario when...)

(Just then, Mario looked at shock when someone took the hit. & it ain't someone, it's Meggy. Even Francis & SMG3 are horrified she's here)

SMG3: Oh come on, can i just go one afternoon after a heavy revelation?!

Mario: meggy?

Meggy: Well, at least i'd meet Desti again..., i'll go off without regrets.

(Meggy then collapsed right near Mario's side. Having lost his alien friend once, that be the final straw. Mario then cries in earrape volume as the flames consumed him)

Francis: Even i admit, this is too twisted.

Kel: YOU THINK?!

Mario: give her back... Give... HER... BACK!!! (turns into a fiery brute that punched SMG3 to the wall)

Lo: Mario, stop it. You need to get the Remote!

SMG3: & you shouldn't.

(A massive swarm of OOF Buttons then arise & surround Mario. A portal also opened as the buttons push him in. Luigi Doll then arrives as he held the remote)

Kel: Mario!

SMG3: Good work Luigi Doll, i'll double your salary.

Luigi Doll: gotchie gotchie

(2 more OOF Buttons then grabbed Lo & Kel, throwing them to the portal as it closes. Mario then lets out one last cry as he went in)

Francis: whew. That be the end of that.

~Graveyard Starbucks~

(A portal opens as fire spewed out of it. The gang looks stunned on who comes out)

Mario: give her back... (passes out as the flames die out)

SMG4: You didn't get the remote, huh?

Kel: At least we have this. (throws the phone at him) But it be even harder to swallow.

Lo: Susan, is it possible there's a Revive button on that remote?

Susan Whiskey: I'm sorry, but no.

Maya: (takes the phone) We can still have this chance. Now let's go back home.

(With a push of a button, the Glitchy Gang makes their return, to the final battle)
