SMG4: He's Gotta Be Safe

Chapter 4: Below The Surface

The graveyard looked to be in the same state it was left in, as if it was all neglected. The memes were picking fights with one another left and right. Most were specifically being wrecked by a large one, being squished into the ground. Out of nowhere, a very feral meme tackles it, making it ascend to the sky, and it went after the already squashed ones. Pretty much a whole fiasco was taking place. What happened to the lad that can settle these disputes? Four was thinking to himself as he passed by. He had searched nearly everywhere for the guardian by now, even the desert, but he was nowhere to be seen. God, where is he? Where is he? Unknownst to him, Three was also wondering the same thing.

Some others had caught up with the idea by now that an abnormal event was taking place. The knuckles surrounded the castle now, banging on the door.

Meggy: "What's going on?!"

Melony held onto Meggy tightly. "I don't know... everything has just been strange lately."

Luigi added on. "Yeah... nothing's really been normal ever since we got the castle."

As they were chattering amongst each other, Mario stood in the background completely oblivious to the danger they're potentially in. Suddenly a huge door slam was heard. One, Bob, Boopkins, Saiko, Kaizo, and Tari stood in the entryway.

Bob: "SOMEONE CUT OUT THE DAMN ELECTRICITY IN OUR ROOM, NOW WE CAN'T FINISH OUR REHEARSAL!!"

One: "Maybe we can do it elsewhere..."

Luigi: "We're kinda trapped in by Ugandan Knuckles though."

One: "Oh okay! Wait what-"

The new occupants of the lobby room observed the outside, noticing such a huge pack of knuckles memes surrounding the area. What did they want from them?

Kaizo: "What the hell?! Why's there so many angry birds?"

Mario shrugged. "They might-a want to eat my ass. I'll go get Four to deal with it!"

Saiko: "Wait, where has he been anyway?"

Mario sighed. "I'll go ask him." He flew around the house, trying to find Four. He returned shortly empty handed. "Well I've done all I could do."

Tari: "FOUR IS MISSING?!?!"

The crew began freaking out, looking everywhere around the house for the guardian. Before it could go on for any longer, Meggy realizes. "Wait, can't we call him?" The group went silent, blinking. Some crashes were heard from a couple rooms. "...Someone go check on that while I contact him."

Mario: "Okie dokie!" He drifted off to investigate. Luigi, Saiko, Kaizo, and Melony followed along. The rest were left to call Four. As soon as they left, Meggy took the initiative to do just that. Nothing came back to them, just a voicemail prompt.

"It's SMG4! Leave a message."

Meggy: "Hey... you know there's like a whole clan of memes outside of our door. Do you have any idea what's going on?"

Kaizo stared at the crew.  "What an odd group this is." They were traveling down the halls, following Mario's direction.

Mario: "Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time!"

Melony poked Mario's shoulder to grab his attention. "Hey, do you have any idea what's been happening around here?

Mario: "So this-a place has been getting a bit.... eerie for the past week or so! Boopkins tried to check on what was on, but that little fish got caught by some random vines."
