Adware's face goes static momentarily before returning to its usual grin.

"Silly SMG3, if you won't fight him yourself," he says lowly as several tentacles emerge from the ground, each entangling themselves around SMG3's arms and legs.

"Then I guess I'll have to make you!"

The TV man raises his arm, and the tentacles attach to Three's body. Panic surges through Three as he struggles futilely against the tentacles. They twist around him, controlling his movements and forcing the purple meme guardian into a fighting stance.

Four barely has time to raise his arms in defense before the TV man's arm surges forward, and Three lunges at him.

The impact of Three's fist against Four's arms sends him flying, hitting the ground with a thud. Four lowers his arms in time to see Three in the air; his fist already reared back.

Four rolls out of the way just as Three's fist hits the ground, a colossal crater forming where Four was just moments ago. He stands up, nearly stumbling backward as the puppeted meme guardian sends a barrage of punches. Four weaves between Three's punches before one of them finds his ribs.

He feels the air leave his lungs, and he falls back, though not before he takes a punch to the face.

It sends him to the ground, and Four doesn't get much time to recover before he feels something grab the back of his shirt. He feels weightless momentarily before gravity overtakes him, a gloved hand finding his neck, stopping him from hitting the ground.

Opening his eyes, he's greeted with a sight that twists his heart, even as his body throbs with dull waves of pain:

Three's face crumpled in agony, tears streaming freely down his face as his hand tightened its grip.
