SMG4: The Vanidicus Arc

Change The Formality

~~A Few Hours Later~~

  SMG6 sits on the couch, clutching her butterfly plushie.

Knock Knock!

???: "Hey, SMG4? Can I talk to you?"

SMG6: "Hey, 4! It's for you!"

SMG4 wanders out of his room and to the door. He opens it and is greeted by a worried Coco. She looks from side to side.

Coco: "Listen... you can't tell a soul about what you're about to see."
SMG4: "I..."

He glances at SMG6, who has her hood pulled up and is watching tv.

SMG4: "I won't."

Coco reaches for her mask. Es gets up from the couch to grab a snack, but stops once she sees her dear friend. Coco drops her mask to the ground. She-

Es: "SMG5!?!?!!!"

Es runs up to her long lost partner and traps her in a bear hug, bringing the two to the ground.

SMG5: "Huh? What the!?"

  Es drags her hood down to reveal herself.

SMG5: "6!? Oh I should've known!"
SMG6: "Yeah, you should've... considering I went by the nickname you gave me!"

The two begin to laugh together as 4 approaches them.

SMG4: "Hey...5... Long time no see..."

  SMG5 looks up at him nervously.

SMG5: "Hey..."

  The two look stare at each other awkwardly. However, 6 gets up and breaks the awkward silence.

SMG6: "So, what brings ya here, 5?"

She reaches a hand out to 5, who gladly excepts.

SMG5: "Well, a couple days ago I learned from a friend of mine about God Boxians."

SMG4 and 6 glance at each other nervously.

SMG5: "I learned how the empire is a toxic mess just waiting to start war. So I decided to begin studying their kind with my friend. We learned we can harm them with Ammonia. Today I led an attack on the empire and won. I battled their leader, Niles, and learned that he had no idea where you were, which devastated me. I thought you were dead..."

  She steps towards 6, and grabs her hands, slowly bringing them towards her.

SMG5: "But here you are. Alive and doing better than ever-"
???: "Hey 5? You ready to go back to the base yet? Niles is getting a little restless..."

  A cloaked figure hops out of the jeep 5 came to the castle with. The group looks at him as he approaches them.

???: "No way..."

  He pulls down his hood and runs to 5 and 6.

SMG6: "SMG0!?"
