"SMG4? SMG4!!"

The meme guardian's eyes snap open as a familiar red hat comes into view.

He groggily pushes himself up, groaning as Mario and Meggy back up, relief evident on their faces.

"SMG4!! Are you okay?" Meggy asks worriedly as Four puts a hand up to his dully throbbing head.

"Yeah, I'm okay," he manages to groan as he remembers how he ended up here.

TV Adware, Three...

OH GOD, THREE!!!

His eyes widen as they dart around, searching desperately for his friend. When he doesn't see him, he looks at his friends.

"Guys, where's SMG3?"

-----------------------------------

Finding the others and spreading out to look for Three takes little time.

"SMG4! I FOUND HIM!!" someone calls out; he doesn't know who, probably Meggy. He practically sprints to where the voice came from, his eyes immediately landing on a still purple form.

No...

He takes a few steps closer, trying to get closer to Three. However, before he can take another step, a Splattershot blocks his path.

He looks at Meggy questioningly, who only points away from Three.

A few feet away, the TV man lies lifeless, his screen face shattered, wires and circuits bare for all to see.

Four grimaces, then turns back to Meggy.

"Is he..??"

"Looks like it."

With that said, Four dashes over to Three, sinking to his knees.

He presses his head to Three's chest, desperate for a sign.

For a moment, his heart sinks, unable to hear anything.

Then, very faintly...

Thump-thump...thump-thump

Four lets out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding in, his eyes burning with unshed tears as he holds Three to his chest.

He's alive.
