SMG4 sighed, looking over the notes they had made. "Alright, so the Leggy army at his disposal is going to be tricky..."

"Leggy army?" Other Meggy asked, looking at him. "Would they even still exist if I'm back to normal?"

"We can't take our chances on that," SMG4 said. "We need to be prepared for everything that could possibly happen in there. Just in case."

"Alright," Other Meggy sighed. "So, what exactly was that army like?"

"It chased us down without remorse!" SMG6 exclaimed. "Through the halls of the factory, and then when we passed by doors, they would come rushing out. And also... um... SMGilly was singing. It was terrifying..."

SMG4 nodded in agreement. He looked around, about to ask a question before noticing a member of the group missing. "Hey... where's Mr. Puzzles?"

"Oh! He went for a walk," Mario said, bouncing over and looking at 4. "He told-a Mario to stay here and help." He paused, worried expression on his face. "He should-a been back by now..."

"Do you think something happened to him?" SMG5 asked worriedly.

"What if SMGilly got him?" Luigi asked, shaking.

"I... I'm sure he's fine," SMG4 said with a nervous smile. "If... if he did... oh gosh, I really hope he didn't."

"It's Mr. Puzzles," Other 3 said. "I'm sure he can handle himself, other dimension or not. He's kind of a dweeb, anyway. I'm definitely the cooler villain."

The others all stared at him.

"If I ever call myself a villain again," SMG3 said, looking at 4. "Just put me down."

"Should I plant bombs in your grave?" 6 asked.

"Yes. And bury me next to Terrance," 3 added. "And also, SMG5, you get the cafe. SMG4 gets everything else."

"What about me?" SMG6 put a hand over his chest in fake offense.

"You get exactly one free coffee," 3 joked.

"Ok, now is not the time to have this conversation," 4 huffed. "We need to focus here. So, we have a crazy SMGilly Wonka guy who is targeting us due to our affiliation with Mr. Puzzles, who is now missing. So, I... I'm sure he's fine, but... just in case, let's assume that he is indeed captured by this other me."

"Great," Mario said, smiling as he pulled out a gun. "Mario is going to do something very illegal!"

"Mario is confused," Other Mario chimed in. "Why do you like-a Mr. Puzzles?"
