Smg4 Fanfiction: Crystal Splezter - WOTFI 2021

Plot: In a showdown to save the world, Melony must make the ultimate choice to stop Zero or Save Axol...

Meme energy soared to the sky and into the new portal to Zero's "perfect world". His corrupted form of Axol hovered above and roared at the gang on the floor. All were bound in chains and out of ideas as Melony looked in sorrow.

Melony: Axol...

Smg1: Zero's strength is stronger than ever now...I...I don't know if we can stop him!

Smg4: Well, we can't just sit here! We got to do something!

Desti: Yeah, I'll be damned if I die here in chains surrounded by you lot!

Swag: Swag will save the day lads. Stand back!

In an idiotic move, Swag stood still trapped in chains and hopped over to the bridge by Zero. The monster looked down in confusion and annoyance.

Swag: You are Now banned from Xbox live-

Zero merely flicked him backwards...

Chris: You stupid fu-

And right into Chris, knocking them away and unconscious.

Crystal stood lied among the others and looked up in worry. She was scared, more then she had ever been even since the Anime island events.

Then...something strange happened.

Her head started to ache more then ever before as she squeezed her eyes shut in discomfort, groaning. When the pain was over and gave way to feeling of a breeze, she opened her eyes and couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Her vision was filled with orange coloured computer holograms, scanning the surrounding area as she felt all the information being absorbed into her head. She looked up at Axol, her vision reacting accordingly.

(??? - High threat, do not approach!)

Coming up with a plan, she started looking at the chains and-

(Weak structural integrity - find something to solid to break)

Looking around, she couldn't find anything to break them with. Bob's swords? No. Boopkins shell? Probably not? The giant rock-actually, that might work.

Doing something stupid like uncle Mario would probably do, she jumped right on the rock and thankfully broke the chains and thankfully not her back. Rubbing her wrists, she grabbed a stone and made her way over to the others. At the front, Smg1 was lost in thought.

Smg2: Ugh...I think I have a plan-

Before he could speak though, Zero suddenly used his Monster sized hand to grab him and Smg2.

Smg4: NO!!!!

Zero had his age old rivals tight in his hand...and he squeezed hard. The power of his grasp started chocking the life out of the Smg's, his eye glowing as he laughed maniacally.

The Smg's could no longer breath as Smg2's eyes rolled back into his skull. Zero stared down to watch them die...but instead, something smashed into the back of his head.

Looking at the floor, a piece of rock had hit his head and he looked up to see meme energy turn into...a couch? It hit him and forced him to drop the 2 Smg's before he saw the source of the attack.

Having been secretly freed from their chains by Crystal, Smg4 and Smg3 held eachother's hands and raised their separate ones to the sky, eyes closed as they used their newly discovered control of meme energy.

Bob: Ew, why are you holding hands?!

Tari: I think it's cute!

Smg3: (Turns around) Forget you saw anything!

Smg1: Th-thanks for saving us...

Smg1 and Smg2 joined in by holding hands as well.

Smg2: Now it's our turn.

A short while over in blooper-vile, Eggman was preparing to send off his egg-son to school.

Egg-son: Oh papa, I'm so excited for school.

Eggman: Son...this...this is the happiest day of my life!

The egg hopped over to hug him.

Egg-son: I love you papa.

Eggman: I love you son-

Then something weird happened as the egg glowed blue and rose into the sky.

Eggman: S-son?!

Egg-son: Ah, Papa! I'm scared!!!

Then the egg turned into meme energy and floated away.

Eggman: No!!!! Son-!!!!!

Then the same happened to eggman as they both flew away.

The energy turned into various projectiles that the Smg's hurled at Zero, making him roar as the memes turned back to normal and ran away.

With the help of Crystal having already done most of the work, Smg's 1 and 2 got the rest out of their chains.

Smg2: Get to Mario!! Break him out of his Crystal and we'll have a chance at beating Zero!

Mario's Crystal was rising fast towards the portal in the sky as Smg1 and 2 stared down Zero with anger.

Smg1: Don't worry about us...

Smg2: We have a little score to settle...

Jumping onto the castle roof, Zero diverted his attention and tried to smash his hands down and crush them.

Smg4: Quick everyone! To the cannon!

Everyone hopped into the nearby cannon and aimed to the sky. Shooting forward, everyone flew headfirst towards the portal as Crystal clinger onto Meggy.

Meggy: We're coming for you red.

Crystal: Hang on uncle Mario!

Smg4 turned his head back, seeing Smg1 and 2 clash and fight back against Zero as he tried to kill them.

Smg4: Hang tight guys...

And then, they entered the portal...

The path was a long tunnel filled with brights lights where gravity seemingly didn't exist.

Smg4: Don't forget! Keep an eye out for Mario!

Near the end of the tunnel, orange energy began to swirl...

Saiko: What the hell is that?

Then it swirled into a giant energy ball that shot towards them. Although Smg4 tried to dodge, he couldn't avoid it...and was pulled in screaming.

...

Smg4 was suddenly chucked onto the floor. To his confusion, he was back on the grassy fields of the mushroom kingdom like nothing had happened.

Then across the plains, just standing in the open, he saw-

Smg4: MARIO!!!!

Running over, he gave the fat plumber a big hug. But something was off about him. He wasn't moving at all, or even blinking for that matter.

Smg4: Mario?

Then even more curiously, a banner came down behind them with a question from FM's penguin Cube, asking who of the two could open a bag of chips. Then it clicked...

Smg4: You're not the real Mario...are you?

Mario: I have only one goal in life. (Stewie Griffin voice) I am going to kick..your...ass!!!

Mario then got a bag of chips and started trying to open it. Prying it open, stretching it, running a car over it, humping it and even using a machine gun...

Whereas Smg4 just open the bag regularly and the fake Mario screamed as he faded to dust.

...

Smg4 was chucked back into the tunnel screaming...

Luigi: Smg4! You okay? What happened in there?!

Smg4: I think...Mario's Crystal is challenging us...We gotta beat those portals to get to him!!!!

More energy portals came flying in their direction.

Everyone: Right!

Everyone dove towards the different portals to attempt them, ready to face whatever challenges came.

It was time to face Zero's challenge hell...

...

(You know the drill by this point, not wasting time with challenges)

...

Everyone was chucked from the new portals into a giant void area, hovering midair as gravity seemed non-existent here.

Smg4: Haha, yeah!!! Good job everyone!!!

Crystal: Mommy, did you see me win all those games, I was awesome!

Meggy: Aw, I knew you'd do good Sunshine.

Crystal: And it's all because of these weird holograms!

Meggy: Holograms?

Crystal: Yeah, all these things around that tell me how to win. Can you not see them?

Meggy went wide-eyed, then glared at Tari as she shred away.

Meggy: Tari...do you know anything about this?

Tari: Uh...well, I-

Desti: Oi! Idiots, I found Mario!

Desti broke up their conversation as they looked over the void. Among all the rubble and broken structures, Mario's Crystal hovered mid-air and was being powered by Meme energy.

Smg3: Holy-

Before Smg3 could finish, Smg4 flew past him in a mad dash.

Smg4: I'm coming for ya buddy!

Smg4 kept racing, he was almost their!

Then a shadow overtook the entire voice as he was frozen in unspeakable horror.

Before him stood a giant beast, skin dar and glitched out. Horn in the shape of a 0, spikes coving his body, ribcage exposed with no lower half and to top it off, one giant red glowing eye with a 0 for a pupil.

Smg4: Oh...oh god...

It was Zero in his true form...

The monster laughed, reverting to his Corrupted form of Axol. His eye glowed red as Mario's Crystal hovered before him and shone the same colour as everyone looked on. What was happening?!

And the answer came soon, in the flora of a corrupted Mario. Cloned from the original, this Mario was fully purple and black, his eyes plain white As Zero gave him his first command...

Eldrich Axol: KILL.

Luigi: Wah! Guys, what do we do?!

Smg4: I...I don't know...

Crystal: Mommy, what do we do?!

Bob: I'm too sexy to die!

Boopkins: Agh, I'm scared!

Everyone flailed about or grabbed onto one another as they panicked. As everyone believed it was the end and that Zero was going to win...

One voice broke through...

Melony: Don't give up!!!

Melony's voice broke through to everyone, making them listen.

Melony: We lose too much if we stop now! This is about more than just saving memes...or even our universe...

And as she summoned her deity sword and yelled...

Melony: This is about saving our friends!!!

Everyone took the message well.

Smg4: She's right!

Tari: Game on!

Crystal: We can win this!

Desti: Time to kick some ass!

Saiko agreed as Smg3 laughed.

With Zero and the Evil Mario staring them down, everyone preparing for the biggest fight of their lives...

Meggy: Let's do it!

(Rap battle time boys!)

Meggy:

Time ticks down and fades all our sorrow...

Meggy and Crystal:

3, 2, 1, 0!

(Everyone flew foward, dodging a flying Mario as Melony went to attack Zero head on...)

Desti:

Your perilous wraths

At the end of its path

(But Zero swatted her the side, knocking her out and reigning lightning and debris down on everyone)

Eldrich Axol: 

Your pleas are all in vain, All that I know is pain

Don't blame me if you all yell, Down in my special hell

As I tear your lives apart,

To begin my fresh new form and hit restart!

(Then he made his next move...sending the corrupted Mario onto the battlefield. He started to brutalise everyone he saw, kicking them about and hitting Saiko with her own hammer)

Corrupted Mario:

Hello fellow friends, I heard deaths a great new trend

Why care and love in life, When we all know it's the end?

Don't be scared, copy me. Off your head and let's be free!

Cmon guys, join the club, We offer free spaghetti!

(Before he could attack Crystal and Tari, Smg4 knocked him aside and started fighting him, dodging every blow.)

Smg4:

Mario, cmon man quit! You must snap out of it!

Flurry of threats and weak attacks Won't stop us in our tracks!

Where's the fatso we all know? Our great big friend not a foe.

The biggest idiot of the show, With an ass so thicc, thicc as dough!

Smg3:

Well I think that Sweet talk made me want to die

That's how you kill a god? You gonna try and make me cry? (Slaps Smg4)

Cmon lads let's step it up And use all of our big brains,

Cause I know there's a much Smarter way to win this game!

(Smg3 pointed to Mario's Crystal. Break it and they could kill 2 birds with 1 stone. To distract Evil Mario, Luigi jumped on him as others rushed for the Crystal)

Luigi:

Sorry bro, this might hurt.We'll make sure it's fast and quick!

Bob:

Lol no, it's gonna feel like being hit right in the D*ck!

Tari:

We're coming, don't you wait!

We'll put an end to your fate!

(But Shadow Mario got back up to try and stop them)

Corrupted Mario:

NO, STOP! I MUST ELIMINATE!!!

(Melony jumped in to stop him, kicking him away as Saiko, Desti and Meggy did the same)

Melony:

Relinquish your grip on our hero...

All the girls:

3, 2, 1, 0!

(The attacks sent the corrupted Mario flying into the Crystal to Zero's horror, freeing the real Mario and stopping the process)

Melony:

Feel your control decay away,

Oh what a dark day!

(With Mario free, Zero's work became undone as the void turned red, unstable and chaotic. Everyone lined up, prepared for anything)

Meggy:

The sun shines bright with nothing but fading fear...

Meggy, Crystal and Desti:

Oh, the end is near!

(Enraged, Zero called forth an army of dead memes to attack them)

Eldrich Axol:

Impossible! Prepare to be deleted!

DELETED!!!

(The memes fought against everyone, but Smg3 was unfazed)

Smg3:

Ah sorry, this is whack

You call this a finishing attack? (Shoots memes)

Sending out your stans

That's your plan? Come on man

Eldrich Axol:

You misconstrue The full extent of my deadly power

Now go rot in this moment That I dub your final hour!

(Zero summoned a giant Morshu to kill them all, but Smg4 and Smg3 nodded as they joined their hands)

Smg4:

Zero, we've sacrificed All too much just too leave,

And now it's time to turn the tides With this ace up our sleeve!

(They summoned Meme energy and transferred it to Mario, but Zero charged forward to kill them)

Eldrich Axol:

You don't scare me with this Old, dated and weak technique,

Stand down now and let ol' Zero Give the death you seek!!

(Trying to smash the two with his Inkweaver hand, he was stopped as Smg1 barrelled into him in a ball, Smg2 following by doing the same)

Smg1:

Can't let you do that, Cause it's our turn to end your fun!

Smg2:

Time to repent for the Massive sins that you've done!

(The two rammed themselves into Zero like zipping cannonball's, stopping him from reaching Mario)

Eldrich Axol:

NO! STOP! LET ME THROUGH!

Out of my way!

Grr, wait!

I can't let that Fat Italian mutate!!!

(But it was too late, Mario rising to his feet as the meme energy filled him and everyone looked in shock and awe)

Mario:

Oh boy you can feel it? Do you feel the terror loom?

That's cause your about to enter Mario's Tunnel of Doom!

Ladies and gents, Now it's time to finish off this foe!

Are you ready?! LETS-A-GO!!!

(Mario rise to the size of a giant as Smg4 and Smg3 rode on his shoulders, Saiko commanding as he leapt to attack Zero)

Saiko:

あなたの最後は今よ (Your last moment is now)

3, 2, 1, 0

(Mario punched Zero in the face twice, grabbing him by his Inkweaver hand and hurling him into a broken building)

Saiko:

あんたに勝ち目は無い (You don't stand a chance)

だからグッバイ (So goodbye)

Eldrich Axol:

You dare oppose me, Now death is what you'll face!

Erased with no trace!

(Zero emerged from the smoke and used telekinesis to slam broken buildings and planes into Mario. Knocking him against a building, Smg4 panicked to get him moving as Zero moved to finish the job)

Eldrich Axol:

Welcome to my world of despair and sadness!!!

(But just when things seemed at their worst, Melony came riding back in!)

Melony:

Sorry to bother your heartbreak, But you just made your final mistake!

Release our friend and return him to us!

(With everyone cheering her on as Tari rocket launched her, she kicked a meme that Smg1 and 2 turned into a bomb. It hit Zero and when the smoke cleared, Mario was gone)

Melony:

The curtains lower, applause signs glow.

It seems like it's the end of your show!

(Mario grabbed Zero from behind, trapping him as Melony picked her moment, leaping forward, cyclone spinning with her sword in hand...)

Melony:

Oh here we go,

3, 2, 1, 0!!!

(And right into Zero's head!)

(End of Rap battle)

...

Melony landed in the mind-scape yet again, ready to save Axol...

But what she saw was a sight that would scar her forever...

Rock formations had grown around Axol's body, trapping both his arm and his entire lower half. Red lines Were connecting to his body, draining the life from him...and he wasn't moving.

Panicked, Melony ran forward with her sword drawn and smashed it against the rock formations and the cables connecting to Axol. She swung as hard as she possibly could, but...nothing would break.

Among her tries, Axol stirred from his sleep. He looked half dead...

Axol: M-Melony?

Melony: Hold on Axol! I'll get you out!

She swung again to no avail, Axol lowering his head.

Axol: Melony...

Melony: I can do it! Don't worry!

She hit the rock formations again and again. Tears came to her eyes with every failed swing. The rocks just wouldn't break and the cables connected to Axol wouldn't snap either.

Axol: It's no use Melony-

Melony: No, don't say that! We're so close!!!

On the outside, Zero roared as he tried to break free from Mario's bear hug, causing the plumber to falter.

Mario: Wah!! Mario's losing his grip!

Smg4 knew they were running out of ideas.

Smg4: Hurry up Melony! We're losing control!

Melony heard him from inside Zero's broken mind, unsure of what to do.

Axol: Melony...We're out of time...

She turned back to Axol, hearing the words she'd been dreading...

Axol: There's only one way left to beat Zero...

Tears spring to her eyes. Axol was...asking her to kill him.

Melony: No!!!

She collapsed against his trapped body and cried, desperately not wanting to let go as she caressed his face.

Melony: THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY! THERE HAS TO BE!!!

Axol: Hey...it'll be okay...you can do this. You're the strongest girl I know.

Melony wiped her eyes, reaching into her pocket and grabbing...Axol's unfinished notebook. She opened it, showing him the same comic where he confessed his love...for her.

Nothing had changed. But in the place where Axol hadn't been able to finish it...

Melony finished it for him. In the unfinished page, their was a stick note with a drawing of her, hugging Axol and saying "Okay!".

And she looked up with a smile and tears on her face.

Melony: I like you too...

Taking the move...Melony finally kissed Axol. They both went silent, both shocked even though they knew what was going to happen. Axol shed a single tear as he smiled.

Axol: Melony...

She raised her sword, looking at Axol for what would probably be the last time as he smiled at her.

Axol: Thank you...for the adventure...

And so, she raised the blade with a cry...

Melony: AXOL!!!

And brought it back down...ending the love of her life.

...

She re-emerged behind Zero, her face darkened by her hood as tears fell from her eyes and her sword was dripping with blood.

Zero went silent as he knew something was wrong, feeling everything inside of him falling apart.

Breaking free from Mario's grip, he didn't attack but instead screamed into the air in a noise that burst everyone's eardrums.

Everyone held on for dear life as Zero's possessed body of Axol began to split apart and send off shockwaves. The screaming began to quiet as Zero stared into the void and finally...

The monster's giant form faded into dust...and was gone...

Smg4: Yeah, we did it!

Smg1: The evil is destroyed!

Luigi: Yeah!

Bob: Oh, heck yeah!

Tari: Yay!

Crystal: Woo! We beat that big meanie!

Everyone else cheered as Mario joined in, suddenly becoming Lightheaded as the memes left him and he shrunk back to normal size.

The memes from Zero's ritual left the swirling portal and returned back to their own world.

Smg1: Peace...peace is being restored.

Smg3: Thank god. I can finally go back home.

Smg4: Good work everyone!

Meggy moved behind Melony and gave her a hug.

Meggy: Especially you Melony! Say...where's Axol?

Melony turned around, tears covering her face...and she cried.

She broke down and cried as Meggy looked at her with worry. It barely took a second for everyone else to figure out what had happened. The others gave looks of sorrow as Crystal teared up, Tari hugging her tight.

They may have saved their world...but Melony had just lost hers...

...

(A few days later...)

Melony sat alone in Axol's old apartment. His Two piece manga on a podium near the wall and Inkweaver on the shelf above with a picture of the late anime lover. Finally, Melony finished her latest work.

A picture of her and Axol...together. A new setting for his old Two Piece manga, making her sigh. Axol would've loved this...

A door opened behind her, turning and seeing everyone their with solemn faces. They were all their just for her...

Smg4: Hey Melony...how you holding up?

She smiled, but turned and went back to staring at the table...

Meggy: Hey...

Meggy approached her...

Meggy: I know what it's like to...feel alone. To feel like you have nobody. So...if you ever need someone to talk too, my door is always open.

She put a hand on Melony's shoulder. Breaking her facade, she turned and hugged Meggy as she hugged back with a warm smile.

As this happened, Smg1 and Smg2 walked in, trailed by Smg3.

Smg3: Alright, let's get this over and done with.

Smg1: Can I get everyone's attention please?!

Everyone turned around.

Smg1: With the new universe closed up, the transmuted memes restored and Zero finally vanquished, we've completed our mission here.

Smg2: All that's left for us now is to hide the USB's in a place where evil can never find them again!

Smg1: So with that, it's time to say goodbye.

Smg4: Thank you so much for your help guys!

Mario: Yeah, without your help, Mario would probably be evil.

Bob: Not to mention we'd probably be dead LMAO.

Smg1: It's alright, it's why we're called Smg's!

Smg4: Uhh, what do you mean?

Smg3: I thought Smg stood for Super Mario Glitchy?

Smg1 and 2 shared a laugh.

Smg1: Oh, heavens no. Smg Stands for...

And Smg2 dramatically revealed...

Smg2: SUPER MEME GUARDIAN!!!

Smg4 and Smg3: Woah!

Smg1: So goodbye and thank you Super Meme Guardian 4 and 3.

Smg4 and Smg3: Uh...Bye?

The two waved goodbye to everyone as they returned the gesture. Then the two were gone, leaving just Smg3 in their place.

Smg3: Welp, I guess it's just us now! Call me if Mario or the universe is ever in danger again.

Smg4: Yeah, hit me up if you ever wanna train our meme powers together again.

Mario suggested the two kiss, causing both to punch him.

Smg3: Speaking of memes, I really gotta get back to the internet graveyard. I'm sure killer ink and the dead memes all miss me.

...

Meanwhile in the internet graveyard, Killer Ink was blasting splatoon Music and having a rave party with all the Ugandan Knuckles.

Killer ink Squadmate 2: Hey, when should the boss be coming back? He's been in the bathroom a long time.

Killer ink leader: Who cares!? Hand me the bat, I wanna go at the piñata!

...

The portal to the internet graveyard opened up, meaning it was time for Smg3 to go.

Smg3: Just don't message me on Saturdays. That's special Smg3 time. (Peace sign) Later losers!

With that remark, Smg3 left and finally went back home...

With him gone, everyone turned their attention back to Melony. She looked up at Inkweaver, remembering Axol and everything he did as Smg4 tried to comfort her.

Smg4: Hey, we all miss him too. He changed each of our lives.

Meggy: Yeah! He taught me to be comfortable with who I am and...even helped me reconcile with my parents. If not for him, I might never have talked to them again...

Bob: He taught me how to respect women!

Desti: He...he showed me I didn't need to be mean to everyone to make them my friends.

Boopkins: He told me I could do anything I put my mind too!

Crystal: Uncle Axol...(Sniff)...He encouraged my drawing...

Crystal started sobbing as Tari hugged her.

Tari: He told me I didn't need to be ashamed of being nervous.

Saiko: He told me their was more to life then being pretty.

Smg4: He helped me make memes!

Luigi: He told me my opinion mattered to everyone...

Mario: And he told Mario to put his friends before his food...

Melony: He was always there when you needed him.

She stared up at his photo, posing proudly as he held a trophy for best Anime artist in one hand and Inkweaver in the other.

Melony: And I know that if he was here right now...

She furrowed her brow, turning around.

Melony: He'd want us to keep living our lives as best we can. So let's cheer up and do that!

Everyone cheered, then Bob looked to the table.

Bob: Hey, what's that your drawing by the way?

Melony: Oh, I'm trying to finish his two piece manga.

Boopkins: If that's the case, you should add in more waifu's! Axol loved Waifus...

Everyone started gathering around to pitch ideas.

Saiko: No! Not waifus, he loved action!

Meggy: Yeah!! Even I loved Axol's action manga!

Crystal: How about a big talking teddy bear!?

Tari: Guys, I think Axol also had an anime duck in his series.

Desti: Not that I read his nonsense, but maybe I'd be intrigued if someone played a guitar?

Mario: What about Anime Spaghetti? I think he would've wanted that.

Luigi: What...what about a husbando?

And as everyone gathered around and started giving their stupid ideas to Melony about the manga...

Axol's final notebook lied on the table, a love tale as old as time that would live on forever...

...

And in another world...

An unknown figure took the USB's, away and safe from the world at last...

To be continued...
