Chapter 3: SMG4 Goes Insane (Again...) (Probably, for the 2nd year in a row...)

A FEW DAYS LATER...

1 AUGUST 2022...

Meggy: SAIKO!!! YOU'RE BETTER!!!

Saiko: And, it's about time as well... I had to spend a weekend in that bloody hospital bed...

Mario: She does look different, and all.

Meggy: I think she looks great!!!

Kaizo: According to Boopkins... when I touched her from before... it imbued the graphics and power update from the game. 

...

Mario: Yeah, that makes sense...

Meggy: Saiko, you should come and talk to me later! I can teach all about dealing with body transformations.

Saiko: Okie-dokie? I'm just surprised that my body changed when it was nothing to do with Tari and her gang kicking my head in...

Inside...

Luigi: Hey, everyone...

Saiko: You OK, Luigi?

Luigi: Nice new body, Saiko...

Mario: Can you at least act more cheery when Saiko gets discharged out of hospital?!

Luigi: Sorry...

Meggy: What's the matter, Luigi?

Luigi: Um... it's SMG4... he's been down in the basement for the past 2 days! He's been drawing weird stuff all over the walls...

...

Mario: Aw sheet... here we go again...

Kaizo: What?

Mario: About 15 months ago... SMG4 went all Coo-Coo crazy about where he came from during 'The Genesis Arc'... now it looks like it's Déjà Vu.

Luigi: Maybe, you should go down there, Mario!

Mario: Jesus, I don't wanna go through that horrifying Arc again!!!

Meggy: Um... we're now in DS123's very own Arc...

...

Mario: MAMA-F%&!£R...

In the basement...

SMG4: *wheezes*

Mario: Um... SMG4?

SMG4: M- Mario??? The Avatar???

Mario: Are you going Coo-Coo crazy, again?!

SMG4: HOW LONG HAS TARI BEEN IN THAT HOSPITAL?!?!?!

Mario: Um... 9000 years?

SMG4: *SCREAMS* AHH!!! WHY IS LIFE LIKE THIS?!?!?!

*SMACK*

SMG4: Ow!

Mario: IT'S BEEN 3 DAYS, YOU BLOODY IDIOT!!!

SMG4: But, Mario... what if Tari doesn't wake up from her coma?! WHAT IF SHE'S ALREADY DEAD?!?!?!

Mario: SMG4, LISTEN TO ME!!! Remember when the Doctor said that she's got a 90% chance of living?! That's a good thing!!!

SMG4: But, what if it's 90% chance of dying?!

Mario: Jesus Christ, mate!!! Get some Holy Water down you!!!

...

SMG4: *sigh* I'm sorry, Mario... it's just that Tari hasn't woken up from the coma yet... And, if she dies... my life is over...

Mario: Don't be stupid!!! People over 65 could die from a Heart-Attack! Both of my parents are probably in their 70's now, and they could die any day now!

SMG4: Their 70's are still young ages to die...

Mario: Whatever... they're still probably in their last quarters of their lives...

SMG4: How old are your parents?

Mario: Dad is 71 and my Mum...

SMG4: Well?

Mario: I don't know her age...

SMG4: *sigh*

Mario: Come on, mate... let's get you, upstairs.

SMG4: I just... wanna be on my own...

Mario: Okay? And, don't do anything stupid!

Mario left.

Meanwhile...

Tari: *wakes up* H- Huh?

Dr. Toadette: Oh good, you're awake! 

Tari: *muffles*

Dr. Toadette: OK, I'm gonna un-hook you... so, you can talk.

The Doctor un-hooked Tari's oxygen mask.

Tari: *coughs*

Dr. Toadette: You OK?

Tari: Where am I? What's going on? Am I dead?

Dr. Toadette: You're in the hospital, you had a Cocaine Heart-Attack.

Tari: W- where's my... friends?

Dr. Toadette: They must be at home... I can contact them, if you want!

...

Tari: Actually, no! I don't think they'll forgive me after what I did...

Dr. Toadette: If you change your mind, let me know.

The Doctor left.

Tari: *sigh* OMG...

Back at the Castle...

Mr. Monitor: Listen, if I see you doing some illegal things ever again... I will find you, and I will nick your ass! Do you understand?

SMG3: *sigh* Yes, Officer...

Mr. Monitor: Now, go back to your home in the Internet Graveyard and you better be good.

SMG3: I'm going to, okay?

Suddenly...

???: AHH!!!

Mr. Monitor: What the hell was that?!

Then... SMG3 spotted something.

SMG3: Excuse me?!

Mr. Monitor: What?!

...

SMG3: Is... THAT...

Mr. Monitor: Sweet... Mother... of God!!!

SMG4 was on the Castle roof.

SMG4: *sigh* If Tari dies... I die too...

SMG3: OH... MY... GOD!!!

Mr. Monitor grabs his radio.

Mr. Monitor: SIERRA OSCAR FROM 42!!! WE HAVE A JUMPER ON THE ROOF OF PEACH'S CASTLE, AND IT APPEARS TO BE SMG4 WHO IS ON THE ROOF!!! WE NEED TO GET ALL UNITS DOWN TO PEACH'S CASTLE URGENTLY!!! OVER!!!

Radio: Received!!!

SMG3: SMG4, DON'T DO IT!!!

At the Police Station...

L. Dolphin: TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF ME, YOU PIECE OF SH...

Auri: ...SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!

L. Dolphin: That Pink-haired Girl... she got beaten up, a few days ago by my customers!!! She was crying like a Baby!!! HA-HA!!!

PC Toad: Shush!

L. Dolphin: OW... STOP HURTING ME!!!

...

Radio: All units from Sierra Oscar... 42 required urgent assistance at Peach's Castle. Reports of a jumper on the roof which appears to be SMG4! Any units attend?

Auri: OMG, WHAT?!

Auri grabbed his radio.

Auri: DID I HEAR THAT, CORRECTLY?!?!?!

Radio: Yes, Officer Auri! SMG4 is on the Castle roof and it looks like he's about to jump! Officer Monitor is on the scene now!

Auri: SIERRA OSCAR 30, ATTENDING!!! OVER!!!

Auri rushed out of the Police Station.

PC Toad: Anyways, what shall I do with you?

L. Dolphin: No comment...

PC Toad: I know! I shall take you to a Drugs Referral Officer! Would you like that?

L. Dolphin: No comment!!!

PC Toad: I'll take that as a Yes.

L. Dolphin: *sigh*
