SMG4: The Energy Arc

•° Page Six °•

Xan scoffed as they sat in the purple and black void known as the posesser's area. They were bored. Really bored.

To burn out some time, Xan decided to think about life before the current day. Before the god box exploded. When life... was simple.

...

There used to be an arcade game called "PФssɛss 'ɛm!", launched on October 18th. In it, you played as a purple ghost named Xan who possessed NPCs in the game to get materials to create a brand new universe, since their old one got destroyed.

Xan would also make these NPCS murder each other, and could even kill them themself once they were done with their bodies. But those are just optional.

It is said that if you manage to complete all 999 levels, Xan would be able to take over the fictional world in the arcade machine and get himself a brand new universe. Very few people were able to get it, though.

There was a glitch that the developers of PФssɛss 'ɛm forgot to patch, though. Xan was intended to possess one person at a time. However, this glitch, dubbed the duplicate glitch, allowed him to possess two people at once.

People playing this game could use the glitch to their advantage, to attempt to make it to the 999th level and get the secret ending. But, unfortunately, on April 26th, the developers halted updates and progress on the game, thanks to a loss of motivation to continue updating the game.

But hey, that's fine with Xan!

As long as they get to live with the NPCs in its own world, being able to do whatever they wanted to them, they're fine!

...That was, until the God Box met it's demise to the hands of those two toys.

...

Wait a minute.

Xan suddenly had a burst of realization. Since they used to have a duplicate glitch, where they could possess two people at once, what if that glitch still wasn't patched, even after all of time?

What if it could manage to get another person on his possession list?

...Oh hell yeah. They knows what they're bout to do today.

Let's deal with that dark, edgy meme guardian, shall we?

SMG3 woke up at around 2:10 AM.

It was mostly because of his insomnia, because ever since the It's Gotta Be Perfect incident, he's been a bit sleep deprived.

Three knew that he wasn't gonna deal with being in a piss poor mood in the morning, so he tried to go back to sleep.

He stared at the ceiling, trying to bring the sleepiness back in him.

His Eggdog could stay asleep very easily, so why can't he during these times?

He envied his Eggdog sometimes.

However, his goal to try to go back to sleep became a side thought as soon as he heard some giggling.

Familiar giggling.

"...Four?" SMG3 whispered. That voice sounded way too similar to SMG4 to not be him.

And it unnerved Three. A lot.

"Hehehehe...~" is what Three got in response.

As much as SMG3 hated getting up at this early in the morning, something was urging him to check on what the hell that noise was. So, he sighed, got out of his bed and picked up his flashlight to not wake up anybody else in the castle by turning on the lights.
