WOOO! The chapter everyone has been waiting for! Also! Remember. In this chapter the SMG5 here is fake. So in third person it's Five(?) or SMG5(?) but in first person it's just normal, okay? Okay!

I also realized that I can't do what I wanted to do for The love triangle I wanted to do, because Four and Three aren't conscious or aware of their surroundings yet Hm...maybe..okay imma add some stuff while Meggy is getting shot by Wren like a billion times.

Also most of this chapter will focus on Meggy. But don't worry! I will add other stuff to this. Also I bet this chapter will get long... but I ain't splitting it up! You guys have been waiting forever for this chapter!

Might add a drawing of Five(?) in his cowboy outfit..already did but I done it on a notebook that in my backpack..and my back pack is in a locker...at my school...

DAMNIT

I have it!!!!

________________

The TBH Creature (THATS WERE THE 'YIPPIES' CAME FROM!) pops out from a cow's skull, runs off, and bumps into someone's boots. It looks up to see Meggy in cowgirl attire. She walks past the little TBH as her three partners follow close behind.

Meggy starts to do a monologue of herself. The names Meggy. Meggy Spletzer. I'm just your average inkling turned human. This is my deputy, Tari, the kindest and most trustworthy soul in the West.

Tari jumps in fright at a rolling tumbleweed.

Meggy smiles at her. She's trying her best. She looks to her left and see Five(?).

Five is wearing a cowboy hat, with the letter Five on the top, his bandanna changed from his normal color to a red (if not already) with white small dots on it, his boots has those metal things on the back of cowboy boots, and wearing a belt that has a gun holder and a knife holder attached to it, both has the items in it. Five is really loyal to all of us. No matter what happens he's so reliable and there to led a hand to anything. I don't know what I would do with out him and his fighting skills...

She looks to her right and see Mario also wearing a cowboy hat, bandanna and also has a belt with a gun holder with a gun in it. And this... this is Mario. He's just an idiot. Mario goes over to eat a part of a cactus. Five(?) try's to stop Mario but fails as Mario takes a bite out of the cactus. But, he's also my best friend.

Mario's head shrinks in pain but smiles nonetheless. "Yummy!"

"Your a dumb a— Mario." Five(?) deadpans.

Meggy smiles and continues her monologue. Right now, I'm on a mission to find my idol, One Shot Wren. We go way back.

Flashback~

Wren gives a young Meggy his beanie.

He's my inspiration, and made me who I am today.

Present~

And he's somewhere here... In the Wild West!

___________________

The all continue their trek through the wilderness.

Mario whines. "Meggyyyyyyy! Are we there yet?"

"Yeah, the horses are getting tired." Tari points to the horses. The horses they brought with them fall tiredly to the ground.

"Oh sh-t! The horses!" Five(?) yells in worry.

Mario looks at the in disbelief. "WE HAVE HORSES? WHY AREN'T WE RIDING THEM!?"

"Hey! I said something about the horses but no one heard me!" Five(?) points out and crosses his arms, grumbling.

Meggy shushes them. "...Hide... Now."

Tari starts to panic. "WHY! WHA!" She brings out her revolver. "Am I gonna die!"

Meggy stares into the distance. "Bandits! 12 o'clock."

The bandits in question consist of Shroomy, Jeeves, Whimpu, Rob, Jubjub, Old Man Hobo, and Belle. Together, they make up...

THE MISCELLANEOUS SEVEN

Shroomy looks up from playing his harmonica to see Meggy, Mario, SMG5(?) and Tari in the distance.

Mario waves at them. "Hello!"

"Mario you idiot!" Five(?) hissed at him and walks the back of his head.

That got the Miscellaneous Seven's attention. Everyone on both sides gather for a showdown.

Shroomy walks up. "What brings you 'round these parts, partner?"

Meggy glares. "Well well... the Miscellaneous Seven. How did I know you'd be behind the disappearance of One Shot Wren?" She ask.

Shroomy grin. "No idea what you're talking about. But, if you come asking for trouble, then we're gonna have to serve you."

Meggy frowns. "Nothing I hate more than bandits. I bet that wagon is full of people you've murdered."

"Or potatoes..." Five(?) brings out randomly.

Everyone stares each other down... Until Mario shoots the TBH creature.

"NO THE POOR CREATURE!!" Five(?) shout is and frowns.

Mario starts to fire like crazy "HOOTENANNY TIIIIME!!!!!"

The Seven duck for cover before firing back. All of them on the other side hide behind a large rock.

Meggy looks at her mini team. "OK, Mario. Standard SplatSquad formation. You distract them, and I'll flank them on the right. Five your with me."

Mario and Five(?) nods. "Okie dokie!"

"W-What about me?" Tari ask shyly.

"You, uh... You stay here and... not get hurt!" Meggy does a nervous thumbs up.

Tari doesn't let go. "But, I can be useful! I've been practicing on my gun skills!" As soon as she says this, her hat gets shot off.

As more bullets get exchanged, Mario leaps out and fires while Meggy goes over and kicks Jubjub.

Out of the park!

Belle runs off, and Five(?) shoots the revolver out of Shroomy's hand before hitting him four times.

"Ha! Take that!"

Strike!

Mario goes over to Jeeves. "Wake the frick up, samurai. Imma burn your asshole." Mario uses Jeeves as a shield against the bullets.

Whimpu has to reload his gun. "Give me one second to reload!" While reloading, Mario's has impaled Old Man Hobo onto Jeeves.

Mario looks at him. "You're next, boy!"

Whimpu runs off, but Mario throws Jeeves and perfectly hits him. Belle pulls out a machine gun. "AARGGHHHHH, THIS IS DEFINITELY A WESTERN GUN!"

"WHERE THE F—K DID YOU GET THAT?!" Five(?) shouts as he hides with Meggy.

Meggy and Five(?) hides behind a crate. Belle fires at the crate, breaking it, but Meggy and Five(?) has vanished... Then they both show up to kick Belle in the face. Belle lands in the wagon, and the bags inside spill open, revealing potatoes.

Meggy pick up a pita curiously. "What the? Potatoes? You guys aren't bandits?"

"I TOLD YOU! But did you listen?! Noo! You didn't!" Five(?) glares at the bags of potatoes.

Shroomy smiles. "That's what I've been trying to tell you! We're just humble potato farmers!"

Meggy look at them surprised. "Wait, so you DIDN'T kidnap One Shot Wren?"

Shroomy looks at her like she is insane. "No! The only kidnapping we've been doing is of these salacious spuds! So good, you could eat it raw!"

"So good, you could eat it raw!" The Seven said and chow down on their spuds.

Meggy collapses on the ground in defeat. "You guys were our only lead... Now we're never going to find him!"

Belle raises her head out from the wagon. "Actually... I think I did hear something about One Shot Wren. Word out here is he's going to be attacking the nearby town: The town of Western Spaghetti!"

Mario instantly gets excited. "SPAGHETTI!? OOO CAN WE GO MEGGY CAN WE GO !??!"

"Of course it's the only word he loves. Spaghetti." Five(?) face palms.

Meggy sighs. "Did you say "attack"? One Shot Wren would never do that!"

Tari defends with her. "Yeah! One Shot Wren is a hero!"

The Seven laugh at this.

"Oh, that's rich! What a good one!" Shroomy looks over. Mario has begun to steal their wagon.

"Hey! Hey! Get out of there!"

Mario ignores him. "WESTERN SPAGHETIII TIIIIIIIIIME!!!"

Meggy try's to stop him. "WAIT, MARIO! I'M NOT DONE HERE YET!"

"YEA WHAT THE F-CK ARE YOU DOING?!" Five(?) yells.

Mario ignores them again. "Let's-a go!" He takes off, bring Meggy, SMG5(?) and Tari with him, but not before kicking Belle out.

_____________

In Western Spaghetti, a public execution is about to commence.

BUFFALO BOB

Swag is wearing a hat with a mustache with it. "Well, Buffalo Bob, looks like your days of being an ass has come to an end. For I! Sheriff SwagMaster6969696969, HAVE FINALLY CAPTURED YOU!"

SHERIFF SWAGMASTER6969696969 His name is too long, it exceeds the freeze frame card.

"You didn't capture him. I did." Chris points out.

Swag cracks his neck towards him. "Shut up, Chris!" He turns to Buffalo Bob, "Any last words?"

"Only one: Kiss my ass!"

Swag counts with his fingers, "One... Two... Three... Hey! That's more than one word!"

Suddenly, Boopkins comes riding in.

BOOP THE KID

Everyone dodges him.

SMG1 stands proud. "IT'S TIME TO SAVE THE DAY-" he gets run over.

Luigi gets run over, loses his head, and his hat explodes. "My hat..." Luigi looks at wear his hat was in sadness.

More evade Boop.

Three dodges narrowly. "Whoa, learn to drive, dude!"

"OK, Chris, now pull the lever!" Seag commands.

Before Chris could do that...

"FOOLS! I have swords for hands!" Bob cuts the rope and escapes on the wagon.

Swag is as mad as a hornet. "Gosh diggity darn! I forgot about that! Chris... I got rootin' tootin' tricked!"

Chris looks at him weirdly. "Why are you talking like that?"

Saiko shout, "QUICK! SOMEONE STOP THEM!"

"Yo, Three!" Four calls out. Four throws a barrel for Three to roll on, and Saiko whacks it with her hammer, making it go faster.

"Yeehawwwwwww... HOLY SH!T!"

Bob celebrates. "Heehee, losers! Great job Boopkins! We-"

"BOOOOOOB!" Boopkins shouts.

Three pulls out dynamite. "HERE COMES THE BOOM!"

Three leaps forward and throws the dynamite... Only for Bob to whack them back at him.

"Oh, poop..."

BOOM!

Three face plants on the ground, covered in soot and fire. "Spicy..."

"See? Haha! You've done it now! Tomorrow, I'll be back! Back with One Shot Wren and the rest of our crew!" Bob leaves as everyone stands frozen upon hearing that name...

"DID... DID HE SAY "ONE SHOT WREN"!?!?" Four panics.

Bowser also gets panicked. "NO! ANYONE BUT HIM!"

A laughing Bob sees Mario, Meggy, Five(?) and Tari riding into town. The two wagons pass each other.

They both stare as they pass.

"That... was weird."

"You can say that again." Five(?) shivers.

They all enter town. Tari spots Three on fire.

Three glares at her. "What the hell are you looking at?"

Tari doesn't respond as the wagon stops.

Meggy looks around. "Uhhh... Hey, guys... Is this town Western Spaghetti?"

Swag goes over to her, scared. "IT SURE IS! AND IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY! You're the new sheriff" He hands his badge to Meggy and runs off laughing.

Chris chases after him "WAIT! WAIT FOR ME, SWAG!"

Mario congratulates her. "Hey! Congrats on the promotion, Meggy!"

"Yea that's pretty cool, Meggy!" Five(?) does a thumbs up.

Meggy looks at the badge worriedly. "Sheriff? I don't want to be a sheriff! What the hell happened here?"

"We're doomed! That's what." Four says scared.

Tari looks at them weirdly. "Doomed!? Well, how come? Those bandits just left!"

"They left, but they said they're gonna be back. This time with... ONE SHOT WREN." One says spookily.

Everyone panics. Bowser hides in his shell, Melony transforms back to a melon, Karen hisses, and Luigi hides in a barrel.

Mario waves at his bro. "Oh, hey, Luigi!"

Luigi sticks a hand out of the barrel. "Hello, Mario."

Meggy looks around and sees theirs scared and worried faces. "Why is everyone acting like One Shot Wren is some sort of monster? He's a good person!"

"Sorry, Meggy... I don't know what you've heard, but..." Four holds up a WANTED poster. "One Shot Wren is one of the most infamous outlaws in these parts! And some people say he as a secret partner with him. He calls him his partner in crime. His name name is The Chaos."

"And he's done some really evil stuff... Kind of impressive, actually." Three says, still covered in soot.

Bowser looks at Meggy expectingly. "You're our new sheriff. So, you guys will protect us, right?"

Tari pops up besides her. "Uhhh, Meggy... We're- We're not gonna do that... Right? I don't know if I want to meet Wren anymore..."

"Well I don't want to either..but if you still want to look for him I will be by your side till the end!" Five(?) crosses his arms.

Meggy looks around, trying to find the words to say.

She breathes in. "Look, I'll coach you guys to protect yourselves against bandits, cause... I think you really need it."

Mario tips Luigi in the barrel over and laughs. "I'm telling you, One Shot Wren is a good dude, When we see him tomorrow, I'll talk to him and sort this nonsense out, OK?"

Beat.

"Welp, we're probably gonna die, but at least we can say we tried!" Three runs off.

______________

Everyone is at the shooting range.

"OK, so it's time to turn you lily livered varmints into a bunch of sharp shooters. Who has actual gun experience here?" Meggy ask.

Nobody... except Five(?) and Mario raises their hand up.

Meggy sighs. "Firing wildly and aimlessly doesn't count!"

Mario lowers his hand back down.

"OK, I'm glad that you know how to shoot at least Five. You can help me teach. So! we'll start from scratch. Everyone! Get your weapon ready and take aim!"

Everyone pulls guns out, except for Three, who brought dynamite.

"Your job is simple: Hit the targets! Preferably in the head! Now, get ready! Take aim! Annnndddd... FIRE!"

Everyone begins firing their weapons (Though Mario gets flung back for firing his too much). Despite their efforts, not one target was hit. One target even pulled an Uno reverse card on Four, which got block by Five. Luigi gets scared and runs off. Meggy then gets surprised by Karen's display.

"NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION!"

Unfortunately, Karen runs to a target in sorrow. The target is a Starbucks worker...

"I feel your pain... I bet they're paying you minimum wage, too..."

Meggy yells at her. "HEY! GET BACK TO SHOOTING!" Karen screeches.

Bowser fires his, but gets flung back and crashes into Saiko. Melony is using her gun as a pillow, and Meggy has confiscated Three's dynamite.

Three reaches for his bomb. "GIMME MY DYNAMITE BACK!"

Meggy frowns. "No! You need to learn how to shoot a gun!"

"BUT ME WANT BOOM BOOM!"

"Three..shush. It's just dynamite. Not your kid." Five(?) monotones.

"Shut up! I love bombs okay?!"

Five(?) chuckles. "Yea yea..."

Tari tries to pick a revolver up, but has trouble doing so. She eventually picks them up, getting Meggy's attention, thus releasing the dynamite.

Three immediately hugs his dynamite. "Come to papa!"

Five(?) takes it and throws it behind him, exploding in the process. Five(?) does finger guns at him with a grin. "I saved your life!"

Three blushes a bit and grumbles. Four stares as the two communicate.

Meggy goes over to Tari. "FOCUS!"

Tari fires.... Aimlessly. Although she did knock down a satellite that crashes down on Mario.

Mario screams in pain but then stops. "Fine shot, mate!"

"I thiiiiiink this gun might be a little too advanced for you..." Meggy takes the gun she had and switches it to a squirt gun.

Meggy looks at all the damage her trainees did: Four just got UNO Reverse, Luigi being such a scaredy cat, speaking of cat, Karen is good at shooting, but has weakness, Bowser is too weak for a small gun, Saiko can't even dodge or bring her Hammer, Melony is such a sleepy head, Three just rather his BOOM BOOM more, Five is trying to be helpful but not many are listening (plus Meggy thinks Five is flirting with Three), Kaizo being useless, SMG1 is so left behind, SMG2 just poking his own friend, and they both didn't get a chance to play they're role, Mario got crushed by an Satelite, and Tari... she still trying.

Meggy sighs in disappointment. "This is going to be harder than I thought. Alright, everyone up!!! Let's try that again!"

____________

The sun has begun to go down and everyone is sitting on the ground, either fast asleep or bored.

"NO!! Let's try again! This time, SQUEEZE the trigger!"

No response.

"SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!!!!" Meggy accidentally fires, causing a UFO to crash on top of Mario, still trapped underneath the satellite. Mario screams in pain

"And that's way child safety is a thing!" Five(?) blurts out.

Meggy looks over at Mario in regret. "Crap! Sorry!!"

Still, no one other then Five(?) responds , whether to Meggy's instructions or to the UFO crashing on top of Mario.

Meggy sighs. "Come on, guys. We only have till tomorrow. You wanted me to coach you, didn't you? Tari, Five, help me out here."

She looks over at Tari and Five(?) not getting a response. Their back's turned to Meggy. Tari's breathing hard, and she looks like she's seen a ghost...

"Tari?" She ask worried.

Tari is worried like a cat on a hot tin roof. "Where... Where am I!? That isn't SMG5!"

Meggy looks at her in surprise and confused "What??" She looks over at Five(?). Five is smiling crazily at the ground. Meggy was about to ask before she heard Tari moving so she turns back to Tari.

Tari glitches and smiles at Meggy. " ...Hey, Meggy! Sorry, I... I think I'm just really tired."

Meggy looks around. Mario snores while using the UFO as a blanket while Bowser is cuddling with Luigi. (Another thing where people ship those two together. First it was the movie and then this!?)

Meggy sighs. "I guess... we'll call it here for the night. You've all worked really hard today."

________________

Fours pov~ (hey! A pov woo!)

Me and Three are talking in our room. (For some reason we had to get rooms with each other...) then came up a specific subject that me and Three are having a hard time about.

"So..Four, when should we confess to Five..it's been a while and we both can't keep it a secret for much longer. I can't even look at Five without almost blushing!"

"Me either.. maybe we can tell him tomorrow? I think I know a spot that would be good."

"You better. If it's a shitty place I'm going to choke you." Three threatens.

"Okay okay okay! I doubt it's shitty." Four puts his hands in the air as Three gets closer to him.

"Mhm..I'll be the judge of that." Three glares and walks back to his bed.

Four lowers his arms and goes to his bed. Laying down, he starts to he worried if the spot he thinks that would be good...would be bad...

______________

Back to third pov~

In meggys nightmare~

On the train, everyone is running back and forth for their lives. Smoke fills the train as people fall to the ground.

"What's going on!? Somebody help! Who are you people?!"

A shadowy figure ropes down, walks forward and extends their arm out.

"STAY BACK!"

Real world(?)~

Meggy jolts up in bed. She looks around... Tari is missing.

"Tari..??" She calls out, worried.

She runs out of her room and looks down into the hotel's bar... To her surprise, everyone is there, acting like nothing happened. Melony, Kaizo, and Luigi are playing cards, Three accidentally lights up some dynamite when he tried to light up his cigar Five(?) yeets it outside the window and close the shudders, SMGs 1 and 2, along with Saiko, are chugging down drinks, and Four is chatting with Karen, occasionally looking at Three and Five with a jealous glare

"So, what's it like to be a cat?" Four ask. Karen didn't enjoy hearing that.

And Tari? She's reading. Meggy sighs in relief and takes her seat at the bar.

"What can I do ya for?" The barkeeper is revealed to be... Desti?

Meggy smiles, "Hey, Desti. Can I just have a glass of warm milk, please?"

"Sure! Comin' right up." She gets Meggy her drink. "So I hear you're gonna protect us from One Shot Wren?"

Meggy chugs the drink, "Yeah... But I didn't ask for this, though..." she looks off to the side.

Desti stares silently at her, eyes as dead as death...

"I don't know why they didn't just make me sheriff..." She whips out her revolver. "I reckon I know a thing or two about sharpshootin'-"

"HEY!! What did we say about revolvers in the house?"

...Axol?

"Aw c'mon, I didn't fire it, Axol!" Desti pouts.

"Yeah, but it'll get the guests all rowdy! And I don't need that here."

Meggy giggles.

"Aww, you never let me show my weapon skills around here. Speaking of... It's been a while since we had a lil duel, aye, Meggy?"

Meggy finishes her drink. "Thanks for the challenge, Desti! But, I better get some rest... Got a big day tomorrow! Have a good night!"

She leaves. Axol and Desti just stare silently...another joining in...

Meggy walks towards Tari. "Hey, Tari! C'mon!. Let's get some shut eye."

Nothing...

"Hello...? Tari?"

Tari is still reading... Except her eyes are tearing up...

Meggy gets scared. "Hey... Q-Quit it... Talk to me, Tari!"

Tari's eyes shift over to Desti and Axol.

"Get out..." she whispers.

Meggy looks at her scared. "What???"

"GET OUT!!!"She gets up and grabs Meggy by her collar. "MEGGY, PLEASE, YOU HAVE TO GET OUT!!!"

Meggy looks over at Desti and Axol. She finally remembers... "They're... They're meant to be dead..."

Meggy looks around the room. Everyone there are stiff as statues. Tari's eyes glitch out as the world around them begins glitching as well. Tari falls backwards, lifeless. Meggy rushes out towards a white door in the distance as the world continues falling apart. She leaps towards the door...

"Why are you running away~? The fun was about to start~!"

_______________

...And wakes up in a hospital room, wearing freaky headgear. She looks around, gets up out of bed, and tries to take the headgear off.

WARNING
MALFUNCTION

She finally takes the headgear off.

Mario groans. "Meggy?"

Five wakes up from the bed and takes the contraption off him fast. "The hell..?!"

Meggy looks a him, relived. "Mario!? Five?!"

Mario had just woken up. Meggy runs over to embrace him. "I never thought I'd be so happy to see you too! What's going on??"

"I don't know! Mario was just in Fun Western Land, then he went to sleep, and now he's here!"

"I was going to sleep after talk with Three and I ended up here." Five explains as he gets of the bed.

Meggy looks towards a door. "Well... Let's get out of here, first. We'll figure out what's going on later."

They runs out into the halls and come to two ways.

"This way!"

They run right. They keep running through this never-ending labyrinth of a hospital with no exit in sight.

Mario stops and calls out to Meggy. "Meggy..." He's out of breath. "Mario's tired... These corridors are all the same..."

Meggy is determined though. "Just a little more, man! We're almost out, I can feel it!!"

"Meggy he needs a break. I don't think he can run for much longer." Five(?) try's to persuade her but failed.

The trip peek into another hospital room with two beds.

"Mario's just gonna lie in one of those nice beds." He enters the room.

"MARIO!! NO!" Meggy try's to stop him.

Mario lies down on a bed. "Nice and comfy!"

Meggy grabs him. "Oh no, you don't! We still gotta get out of here!"

They hear static behind them. They look... A TV displaying "STANDING BY" is on the screen. Beneath it... A familiar symbol.

"Hmm... That symbol... I've seen it before..." Meggy mutters to herself.

The TV displays static.

"Mmm. Static. My favorite show." Five(?) says sarcastically.

"AHHH IT'S THE GRUDGE!!" Mario smacks it, causing Five(?) to snort,...And the TV displays Captain Lou Albano doing the Mario. An excited Mario dances along with him. Meggy isn't amused, Five is though.

Meggy leaves the room. "I'm out of here..." She looks back, knowing Mario and Five(?) isn't going with her.

"MARIO! FIVE! COME ON!"

"C'MON, MEGGY! DO THE MARIO WITH MARIO!!! YOU TOO FIVE!!"

"Nah I'm not that much of a dancer. I rather watch." Five shakes his hands.

Captain Lou teleports over to another screen.

"MARIO! Stop screwing around... Let's GO!"

Lou teleports a few more times, then vanishes.

"Okay, he's gone... Now, we can continue-"

Mario runs out. "COME BACK, SEXY DANCING MAN!!!!"

"MARIO! DONT RUN AHEAD WITH OUT US!!" Five runs after Mario.

"HEY!" She follows them. Lou teleports into a light in the ceiling.

"Well... That's... Odd..."

"You can say that again."

Mario once again does the Mario as Lou keeps teleporting form light to light.

Meggy has an 'a ha!' moment. "Right... I get it now! YEAH! Keep going, Mario!" The trio keep following Lou, While Mario does the Mario, until they finally reach an exit.

Meggy smiles. "In there! THAT'S THE EXIT!"

Mario also smiles. "Here we go!"

They rush to the door and find...

"What the f—k?!"

Meggy stomps her feet to the ground. "DAMMIT! This is just another hospital room!"

Lou peaces out.

"Oh. Well he's gone."

Mario pouts. "Awww, does this mean no more dancing?"

Meggy slumps on the ground in tears. "It means... We're stuck in here forever!"

Five(?) goes over to her and hugs her.

"Hey! What's this?" Mario smacks a monitor. Meggy lets her tears flow... Suddenly, the monitor begins displaying static.

"Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?"

Meggy sits up, causing Five to fall to the ground. "TARI!?"

Tari comes into view.

Mario waves at her. "Hello!" Meggy pushes him to the side.

Tari smiles. "Meggy! Yes! It worked!"

"What worked!? What's going on!?" Meggy ask frantically.

"The Mario dance! I knew that you guys would follow it."

"...That was you? But, you're here?!"

"I know it's confusing, but... Basically, for the last few weeks, we've all been trapped in... a SIMULATION!" Tari explained.

Mario, who is still at the wall upside down, gasp. "Oh my God... Just another day."

"I'm not really here. We never even made it to the West!"

Flashback~

Everyone is still on the train, minding their own business.

"They kidnapped us while we were on the train, and our real bodies were put inside pods hooked up to a big computer."

Everyone gets knocked out cold and placed in pods with their own freaky headgear.

Present~

"But I'm used to going into simulations. So eventually, I started seeing right through it."

Meggy jumps up and down. "That's my girl! See, it's stuff like this is why I wanted you with me! Okay, now, we just find out who did this and rescue everyone else."

"Actually, I know who did it. And you're not gonna like it, Meggy. It's... One Shot Wren."

Only unbridled rage fills Meggy as her world around her begins going crazy as she finally acknowledges the truth...

Mario goes over to her. "MEGGY!??!"

"Woah girl, you okay?!" Five also goes over to her. Tari gasp when she saw him.

Flashback~

As everyone falls on the train floor, the shadow person extends his arm out, revealing himself to be One Shot Wren.

Present~

Meggy can only grow angrier than ever before...

Mario looks at her nervously. "...M-Meggy?"

Meggy says nothing as she grabs a revolver and rushes out of the room, Mario and Five following her.

"WAIT, GUYS! THERE'S SOMETHING I HAVE TO TELL YOU!!!" The door closes before she could say more. The door opens again and your see Five(?) looking at Tari with a creepy grin. He then slams the door and catches up to the others.

________________

Mario, SMG5(?) and Meggy enter the pod room.

"Wh-What the... What happened to the hospital hallways?"

"Don't mind it. Just be happy their gone." Five(?) tells him.

They find Wren himself, floating in a large pod.

"WREN!!" Meggy shouts, gaining Wrens attention.

"Hello, Meggy..." he grins.

"Tell me right now you have an explanation for messing with me and my friends. You're my hero! A SplatFest champion! Why would you do this?!" She aims her gun at him.

Wren frowns. "I was a SplatFest champion..."

Flashback~

Wren wins a SplatFest and becomes the life of a party.

"I had everything... I had the whole WORLD!"

Wren's team loses another SplatFest. Wren is forced to give up his trophy to the winning team. No one enjoys having him over for parties, either. He eventually loses his home...

"But the world moved on without me... And I lost everything..."

...And is forced to live in the streets.

"And for a while... I was lost."

Until one day, when a mysterious envelope makes it way towards him. The stamp shows that familiar TV symbol. Wren makes his way to the pod room.

"Until one day, when this digital world was gifted to me..."

Wren takes a dive in the large pod and has machinery placed in his body. He gets transported to Western Spaghetti, where he engages in combat.

"A world where I'm always on top! Like a SplatFest that would never end!"

Then Wren steals his beanie back from Meggy and hands it to his three stooges.

"And as the last SplatFest champion..."

Transitioning over to SMG4: We Interrupt This Broadcast...

"His name is ONE SHOT WREN!"

"NEXT STOP... THE WIIIILD WEST!!!"

Present~

Wren holds a hand out towards her, "...I hoped maybe you'd want to join me."

Meggy's lips quiver and her eyes tear up. She finally realizes how far down her hero has fallen... "So... You are just a monster... This is going to end... NOW!!"

Wren grins. "Come on, Meggy... Please don't shoot."

"I CAN'T BELIEVE I TRUSTED YOU!!!"

BANG!

...Wren doesn't get hurt. The bullet falls to the floor like a pin. Meggy drops her revolver as she slowly looks at her hand... It's bloody. She looks down at her shirt. Blood... And a bullet wound... She collapses on the floor and begins vomiting blood. Mario watches all of this. The world glitches back to the hotel in Western Spaghetti.

"Told you not to shoot." Wren is sitting on the railing upstairs, behind her you see Five(?) holding a gun, smoking coming out of it.

Meggy looks around frantically. "H-How...??", She coughs. "H-How did you put us back in the simulation?? Five..why?.." she looks at Five(?) in betrayal.

Five(?) laughs. "Hahaha! Why not? I'm TIRED of being the good guy. Wren here is pretty amazing. I can understand why you love him so much." Five(?) points to Wren as he talks. When he finishes talking he looks at Meggy and his eyes glow yellow. "I am The Chaos after all~!" (If already yellow, change the color!)

Wren laughs. "Oh, Meggy! You never left."

Meggy begins losing conscience as blood flows form her wounds.

"MEGGYYYY!!!" Mario, terrified, kneeled down. Mario looks at Five, sacred out of his mind. Five(?) groans randomly, his eye color changing back to (or brighter/duller yellow) but shakes his head, the color returning to once it was before, yellow (or different color.)

Wren walks forward, Five(?) trailing behind him. "And trust me, Meggy... When I'm done with you, you'll never even WANT to leave. You and I could have something GREAT here! A rivalry that can go on FOREVER!!" His head morphs into Desti's.

"You of all people should know how important a rivalry is... Right?" His head returns to normal.

Meggy gasp. "You... bastard...!" She slowly crawls in pain towards her revolver. "You're nothing like her... Her life had a purpose..." She picks the revolver up and point it at Wren. "Yours... DOESN'T!!"

BANG!

The revolver is shot out of her hand, be cause of Five(?). Meggy loses conscience, looks at Mario one last time, and everything goes black...

"Nighty night~"

_______________

Meggy wakes up in her room at the hotel. She yawns and rubs her eyes. She suddenly remembers all the pain she went through and rushes out, grabbing her revolver along the way.

Out on the town, everyone is going about their day, almost like nothing happened.

"Wh-What's happening!? SMG4! WHERE'S ONE SHOT WREN AND FIVE?!"

Four holds up Wren's WANTED poster. "One Shot Wren is one of the most infamous outlaws in these parts along side The Chaos. And I think I saw him with Three. Speaking of that I need to go meet up with them." He leaves before Meggy could warn him.

Swag arrives.

"SWAG! YOU'RE BACK!!!! Do YOU know where One Shot Wren is?"

"Wot? I haven't seen that guy in years. And he should consider himself lucky! If I had my hands on him, I'd-" Meggy rushes past him. "HEY!"

Meggy continues running.

Mario looks at Meggy worried. "Hey, Meggy! ... You OK?"

Meggy sighs. "Oh, thank God... Mario... Please tell me you remember what just happened to us?"

Mario holds up a potato. "Look! Potato! So good, you can eat them raw!"

Meggy runs away.

Shroomy walks up next to him. "What's up with her?"

"Potato racism." Mario dead pans.

Meggy continues running until she comes face to face with Wren.

"Hey, Meggy... Draw."

She quickly pulls her revolver out, but it's too late. Wren shot first. Meggy falls backwards...

"Too slow..."

Hey oh! If you made it this far then wow! You didn't get bored! Or you skipped.. I won't lie. I do that too.

Anyways take a break! Get some food, water, favorite other things! Because next is some angst(?) I'm not good with it but let just say two people gets their heart broken...

______________

While Meggy keeps getting killed, Four, Three, and Five(?) are all at a pond.

Five(?) looks around the pond area. It is beautiful despite being in the west. Four and Three both look at Five with doopy smiles across their faces.

"Hey..Five.." Four starts.

Five(?) turns around and face them. "Yea?"

"There's something we went to tell you, have been wanting to tell you for a while now.." Four messes with his hands as he talks.

"Really? What is it?"

"W-well..." Four stutters, his words getting caught in the back of his throat.

Three clears his throat, cheeks dusted pink. "W-what this idiot is trying to say is...we have..we..."

"We both like you!" They said simultaneously.

"Ever since we became friends and hanged out the more my feelings caught up with me! And I can't stand it anymore of only being friends! I like you and I hope you accept my feelings.." Four monologues and covers his blushing face.

"For me, ever since you..became my..my friend... I started to see my feelings...I didn't think much of it but as time grew on...my feelings grew for you. It's hard to keep a straight face without blushing...I hope you accept my feelings too.." Three crosses his arm and looks away.

"We both came with an agreement to...'share' you...I hope you don't mind having two boyfriends..." Three says as he looks away.

Five(?) looks at them astonished. Five chuckles, then laughs, and the laughs harder and harder.

Both SMGs look at him.

"What-what's so funny?!" Three demands, his cheek burning in embarrassment.

"You guys!" Five(?) manage to get out between laughing. "I can't BELIEVE this! You guys! Having a crush! On me! HAHAHAHAAHA! This is comedy gold!" Five(?) calms down a bit and gets a bit more serious.

"Why would I love you two. I don't even LIKE you two. I only hang out with you because I feel sorry for you. I pity you." he points to Three, "Three, you can't even be nice to one person for one day without a sarcastic remark."

He then points to Four, "Four, you can't take care of yourself. You can't keep a house clean, hell even your room is a fucking reck! I can't stand being in a dirty room. Why the hell would I EVER love you two."

Five(?) glares at them. "Don't talk to me for the rest of this vacation. I don't want to even see you around me. Got it?"

Four and Three both nod. Four looks to the ground, about to cry. Three looks away from Five(?) trying not to cry in front of him.

"I hope you enjoy yourself." Five(?) leaves.

"What...what just happened...?" Four ask nervously, tears in his eyes,

"We got rejected in the most horrible way, that's what happened. I wanna be alone for a while. See ya later Four." Without another word Three leaves.

Four crashes to the ground and starts to cry. What did we do wrong?

The world reseted.
___________________

Meggy is hiding behind a house, having lost it due to having to put up with Wren for the past month.

Four walks up to her. "Hey, Meggy! I-"

Meggy panicked and pulled out her revolver and aims it at him. "BACK OFF!"

Four put his hands in the air. "Whoa! Meggy! What's gotten into you??" He ask worriedly.

Meggy smile's grew creepy and poof. They are on the church roof. Meggy is now holding Four hostage on top of the building.

"MEGGY! STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Saiko shouts.

"Please stop! This isn't like you!!!" Melony yells, worried for her.

Swag points at her. "Oi! I'm pretty sure that's illegal!"

Meggy starts to freak out by all the things she dealt with. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!"

"Meggy..." Tari calls out to her.

Meggy points the revolver at her. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN A MONTH!"

Tari looks at her calmly.  "...Meggy... Why don't you put down the gun... and we can have a chat?" Meggy fires and misses.

Four starts to panic. "HOLY HELL, MEGGY, HAVE YOU COMPLETELY LOST IT?!"

Tari is still calm. "Meggy... It's really me."

Meggy lowers her weapon.

"Why don't we go have a nice dip by the watering hole to cool off?" Tari offer.

Meggy declines. "No. I don't want to. I-"

Tari interrupts her. "Meggy... You're going to really want to come with me."

Left with no choice, Meggy follows Tari. Four celebrates his release by... eating a potato. "So good, you can eat it raw!"

Time skip to where everyone is getting hanged.

Town of Western Spaghetti. Everyone except for Swag, Chris and Five(?) are being hung. Swag is about to pull a lever.

"Any last words before it is bye bye time, evil doers?"

Mario is confused. "Wh-Why are being hung SMG4???"

Four was a bout to say something but then stops. "I, wait, I actually don't know. Do you guys know?"

Everyone shrugs. Swag approaches SMG4.

"Why? Because! Because..."

"And why the hell isn't Five not being hung." Three demands/ask.

Swag yeets himself back. "Chris why are we hanging these here vermints?"

Chris shrugs as Wren slides in.

"Because this is going to make for one hell of a show! And Five didn't do anything wrong. Now hurry up and do your job." Wren slides out.

"Alrighty! Looks like it's Davy Jones locker for you."

"Wrong genre Swag."

"Whatever. You know what I mean." Swag reaches for the lever. Someone shoots at it.

Swag gasp!

It turns out to be... Meggy!

"Hello, Swag. I'm afraid that I can't let you do that." She stares at him.

Swag trembles. "I... I..." Swag swiftly pulls out his gun. "TAKE THIS!"

Meggy shoots his gun out of his hand.

Swag dips out. "Oh hell no, i don't get paid enough for this. imma head out." Swag tries to hang himself. Chris hides behind the platform.

Meggy confidently chuckles as she puts her gun down. But she hears Wren, who stands in front of her, along side Five(?), who is twirling his knife, KBB. (Kuma the block button)

Wren grins. "Well, looks like someone's finally learning to play along."

Meggy frowns. "Well, I couldn't let you hang all of my friends, even if we're just in a simulation."

"I know, and that's why I love having you here. You can't quit any more than I can."

Meggy grins. "Oh, I'm quitting something Wren...I'm quitting this simulation after I take you down!" She says confidently.

"Ha! Good luck with that!" Five(?) grins evilly at her. Meggy only glares at the fake Five.

"Shut it imposter! Where is the real SMG5?!"

"That, I don't know. I looked for him everywhere in the train but I couldn't find him. It's like he just poofed out of existence. So I had to make a copy of him. And make him on my side." Wren then sighs. "Well... looks like you still got some learnin' to do."

Wren shrugs. "Eh, fine. I got eternity to teach you anyway." Five(?) steps out of the way.

They both reach for their guns as they stare at each other dead in the eyes. But it's taking some time...

Bob has enough of the waiting. "Just shoot already!"

Meggy shoots. Wren dodges as the bullet goes above him. Wren shoots more. Meggy runs for cover. She shoots twice. Wren dives behind some barrels.

Meggy sighs, then aims for the barrels. But Wren isn't there. She gets shot in the arm. She falls to the floor as she grunt's looking at the damage. She reaches for the gun.

Wren looks at the gun. "Pathetic." Five(?) steps on gun. "Years of Splatfest training, and you can't even aim!"

Meggy coughs. "Can't I?"

Wren and Five(?) looks confused.

"Hey Stinky!"

Everyone is freed. They take off their ropes around their necks.

"LEAVE MEGGY ALONE!" Mario defends Meggy.

"Yeah! We'll fight you!" Four shouts.

Wren grins. "Nice try. But I control the world here." He puts up his hands and smiles. Everyone except Meggy, Five(?), and Wren is frozen and standing awkwardly. Meggy trips Wren and Five(?) over.

"BITCH!"

Meggy looks up at the sky and shouts ."NOW, TARI!"

Everyone's eyes turn blue for a second and they turn back to normal. They all look confused.

Mario groans. "Oww... Mario's head hurts..."

Three hods his head. "It feels like I've been asleep for 100 years..."

Boopkins looks around. "Where are we?"

Meggy grins. "Sorry, Wren." Meggy leaps and grabs the gun. "Your simulation ends here." She points her gun at Wren and Five(?) but only Five(?) is there, glaring at her with those creepy yellow eyes (or different color). Wren has disapeared.

"Wren?!" Meggy looks around in fear as Wren cackles maniacally.

"YOU IDIOT! YOU THINK YOU'VE WON?!"

Wren stands there as it flashes between him in the tube and in the simulation. He summons an army of familiar enemies in Super Mario.

"I'll just reset you all again once I KILL YOU! GET THEM!"

The army shoots guns.

"OH SH*T GET DOWN"

Saiko runs as Luigi hides. Boopkins, frozen in fear, is grabbed by Luigi. Melony, Four, Three and Tari get down. Meggy runs. Bob pulls in his blades and brings out two shotguns.

"IT'S BUFFALO BOB TIME!"

He shoots everywhere, taking out enemies. Five(?) snipes him.

"ow my western ovaries"

Bob opens his eyes to see Melony helping him up with a medkit in her right hand. She throws a big plaster on his face. She gives a thumbs up.

"DIIIIEEEEEEE" Swag shouts as he shoots.

Saiko shoots by Swag. Luigi and Boopkins watch, hiding.

"I AM THE LAW!" Swag ducks for cover. A bunch of enemies are beside Luigi. Luigi's face is literally flattened.

"yo wassup"

They continue shooting as Luigi goes back behind the crate.

Luigi panics. "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIEEEE!"

Boopkins pulls out the same gun Tari used in training. Not the first one- the water gun. He jumps on top of the crate.

"I FIGHT FOR MY FRIENDS!" He leaps.

Saiko try's to stop him. "WHAT?! WAIT BOOPKINS-"

"SUPER BOOP THE KID ATTACK!"

A cork is shot out. It barely did any damage.

Boopkins looks at them nervously. "Uhh, can we be friends?"

Boopkins screams as he is shot behind Three, who is holding lit dynamite. He throws it at the crate. The crate explodes as the enemies jump away. They start shooting again. Three and Four run for cover.

"My beautiful dynamite! It's not working!"

"We need to trick them somehow..." Four gets an idea. He steals Three's dynamite.

"Hey! That's mine!" Three argues.

Four puts the dynamite in a potato. He throws it. Enemies are attracted, and you know what they say...

"Mmm! So good you can eat it raw!"

They explode. Four and Three high five. They are both blown up by wren, who has a rocket launcher.

"You idiots! STOP RUINING MY SCENE!"

The enemies now have rocket launchers. Five(?) glitches out and laughs maniacally.

"Oh Four~ Three~ come to me pretty boys~!" Five starts to shoot his guns as Four and Three duck for cover.

"Why the hell is he on their side?!" Three shouts over the shooting noise.

"Remember?! That isn't the Five we know! Their eyes aren't yellow!" (Or different color)

Saiko is surprised. "WHAT?! THEY HAVE ROCKET LAUNCHERS?! BUT THAT'S NOT FAIR-"

Swag and Saiko, Luigi and Boopkins are blown up.

"NOO! GUYS!" Meggy runs over. "Oh no!"

Enemies surround her, rocket launcher in hand. Meggy tries to wake them up. Wren walks over. Five(?) throws Four and Three in the pile. They both groan in pain as they look at them.

"Did you REALLY think you could beat me in MY own game?"

"STAHP RIGHT THERE!"

Wren looks over annoyed, "Oh, for f*** sake..."

Mario stands confidently. Wren gets confused. "Chaos get ready if he attacks." Wren commands. Five(?) listens and gets his rocket launcher ready.

They both stare. Five(?) fires his rocket launcher. Mario dodges it with just his head. Five(?) instead explodes part of his army. The rest of the army and Wren are in shock.

"Oops...sorry boss.." Five(?) drops the rocket launcher.

"Who... Who are you?" One of the bad guys ask.

Mario grins. "It's-a me, Mario" He dances while cowboy music is put on. The rest of the army cheer. Meggy leaps for the gun. She shoots the army away. Wren pulls out his gun, but it is shot out by... Swag?

"This town ain't big enough for the both of us..."Swag starts to celebrate. "I DID IT! GUYS I SAID THE LINE!!! I'M FINALLY COO

While Swag is celebrating, Wren tackles and shakes him.

"YOU STUPID SHERIFF!"

Meggy cocks a gun at the back of Wren's head.

Wren gasp.

"It's over."

Wren grins. "Well, you finally won..."

Wren looks over and sees the copy of Five on the ground, unconscious. A dark shadow casts above Wren's eyes. "Well played. But what's the plan now... Champion Meggy?" He looks behind him a bit. "I'll just come back tomorrow. And you'll all still be stuck here with me..."

Meggy/Tari? "I don't think so."

Wren gasp. "What?!"

Tari is revealed to be controlling Meggy. She pulls the trigger.

________________

And you know the rest...but what about Four and Three? Let's see how their doing, shall we?

Four and Three are in Four's room/office. They both sat in silence for a while before Three speaks up.

"So..do you remember? The pond..the confession we did towards Five.. and him...ya know.." Three ask awkwardly.

Four nods sadly. "Yea..i do...do you think that will happen when we tell the real Five? I'm honestly more worried and scared to tell him now.."

"Don't worry... I doubt that Five would do what the imposter did. If he did reject us he would be more kind instead of mean...but..yea.." Three try's to reassure Four and himself.

Four sighs. "Uh..thanks for coming over and talking about this..we needed to get it out...so..when should we try again?"

"Hm...maybe after the castle is built and a few day or something after that? It will give us more time to prepare and have an actual romantic spot."

"Hey! I though it would look nice! It's a pond!"

"Yea it was shitty though."

Four laughs a bit. "Yea..I guess it was shitty. But it doesn't have to be romantic ya know?"

Three chuckles. "Well, I better get back to the internet graveyard before eggdog freaks out. See ya later Four."

"Bye!" Four watches at he leaves. He sighs. "God...that was..hard to talk about.." he looks up at his calendar. A big circle is on one of the dates. A week form now the new house will be built. Four honestly can't wait. A bit sad that he will have to move out of Five's home but Five said he might move closer to the show grounds so he won't have to teleport that far anymore. (Remember Five's house is still near where Peach's castle was.)

"Welp..time for bed..it late and I'm pretty sure Five is already in his room.." he changes and goes to sleep.
