Me, Four and Mario are at the front of the construction site. On the sign it says 'almost done'.

Mario is super excited. And so am I. "ITS ALMOST TIIIIIIIIME!!" He gets closer to our faces ."SMG4, SMG5, It's almost," He then gasp and his voice got deeper. "TIMMMMMEEE!!"

Four pushes him away from us but then grabs a hold of Mario and shakes him. "HOLY CRAP I DONT BELIEVE IT!" He throws Mario with a wide and excited smile.

"I KNOW RIGHT!? IM JUST AS EXCITED AS YOU GUYS ARE!" I jump up and down in place. Every body has been waiting for this. Four, this morning, told me he wrote on his calendar wrong and said that he doesn't know when it will be built. I told him that's it's fine and maybe we will know today.

"I KNOW ME TOOOOOOOOO!" Mario shouts.

Four is in tears, happy tears. "Cant believe we're finally have our own castle you guys."

"YAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOO!!" Me and Mario shout together.

Suddenly a construction worker spoke. "The castle cant be finished."

Mario and Four turned in noodles, I stay the same only I have a frown deeply, and turned around to the Constructer.

"What... what do you mean?" Four ask angrily. Wow Four does not want there to be any pauses on this castle.

The Constructer pointed. We looked what he was pointing at and it was Marty. How? What?

"This cardboard fella just appeared this morning and is blocking construction." The constructor explains.

The Tractor stops, confused on what to do. We see Marty blocking the construction and Four laugh, Mario is worried and I'm confused.

Who?

"Are you serious?" Four runs to Marty. "It's just a piece of cardboard." He tried to get Marty out way but Marty didn't move. He tried to push him not but again...didn't work. He spit his hand , grab once again, and tried to pull him out but didn't work he fell and his arms detached.

"OH FUCK! You good?!" I run up to him and looked down at him.

Four blushes from embarrassment. "I'm..fine"

Mario walks up from behind me. "Sorry SMG4... Marty can be a bit stubborn sometimes..." He pats Marty's head.

I look closer at him. And then I remember. Oh yea!!! He works at the pizza shop! I..forgot about that...Im pretty sure I'm his number one customer because I buy pizza every weekend and the middle of the week... because I'm..lazy..or too tired to cook.

Four gets up and attaches his arms back, with my help. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! HE'S A PIECE OF CARDBOARD!!" He angrily shouts.

"Well..Marty definitely has a mind if he can move around with no help from others.." I point out,still looking at Marty suspiciously.

Mario walks up to him. "Hey Marty bro, can you move please? We really need this space..." He hugs Marty.

Is Marty trying to say something or...?

"OI!"

We both turn our heads and see Four with an oversized Box cutter.

"Stop talking to it ya dumbass." Four walks closer to Marty, struggling with the oversized box cutter.

Me and Mario go in front of Marty.

I may not know Marty much but..still...

Four looks at us confused.

"SMG4 no! That'll only anger him!"

"Yea..uh maybe we should try something else?" I offer with a nervous smile.

Four ignores us and charges at us. I push Mario away to the ground. Four stabs Marty but... the box cutter...is broken..it is somehow bent...Four deadpans.

"How the f—k?" I question.

Four then tries to use a chainsaw..

Then a long sword, which bounces away after hitting Marty...and almost stabs Four in the head but I catch the sword.

"Thanks Five.."

"No problem!" I put the sword in my hat.

Four then tries to use a robot and shoot the hell out of it...

Then he tires to get Marty to drink the grimace shake..which I don't understand why people made it seem bad...never tried it..

Four then bites Marty...but his head flew off when he was trying to bite Marty's left arm.

Me and Mario looks at where his head lands and I catch him. I smile down at him while he looks away and blushes.

Mario looks over at Marty. "Marty please move. We really need this home."

Marty says something and Mario kneels down. "C'mon Marty! Don't do this! THINK OF ALL THE GOOD TIMES WE'VE HAD!"

A couple of flashbacks of him and Marty hanging out.

Mario frowns, with tears in his eyes.

I frown and help Four with his head. "Mario? What's wrong?"

"He said-" He gets cut off by a machine noise.

We look behind us and see Four, glaring, on a machine.

"How the-" I look back at where he was and where he is now.

"This castle is getting built. Move...or else..." He threatens Marty, glaring harder.

Me and Mario look back and forth between them, worried/scared as hell.

Four steps on the gas, screaming, and hits Marty. The machine glitches the fuck out, along with Four, and exploded.

Four rolls on the ground, on fire.

"OH SH-T!" I hurriedly get a gardening hose and spray it on him. "Are you okay?!"

He groans. "Yea..I'm good..thanks."

"No problem."

Mario takes the gardening hose out of my hand and looks over at Marty. "Marty...Please..." He aims the water gun water at him. "Please move..."

Marty doesn't, Mario is shaking while holding the water gun, I'm helping Four get up while we look at him surprised.

Four looks at Mario and then at Marty.

"Don't make me do this..." Mario frowns, tears in his eyes.

Marty doesn't.

"MARTY PLEASE NO, DONT GIVE ME THSOE EYES!"

I'm looking bad and forth between the two. How can Mario understand him? I don't...but for some reason I care about Marty...

Mario closes his eye, turned away from Marty, drops the gun and goes in a ball on the ground. All of this happening in slow-mode.

"I CANT DO IT!!!!!" Mario cries out.

Four picks up the water gun, "Gimme it!!"

"Four what are you doing?!"

"What does it looks like, Five?! Getting rid of him!" He grins evilly and laughs, "Take that you stupid cardboard idiot!" He sprays Marty.

Marty starts to melt, due to being cardboard and water being sprayed on him, all the while Four is laugh maniacally. I look at him mortified.

"...Marty.." Mario calls out to him. Marty melts away into nothingness.

"Holy...why does it hurts my heart...?" I hold my chest.

"Probably because Marty treated you better then all his other customers..he really liked you." Mario explained.

"Really? Huh...I would buy his pizza often...probably too often.."

Suddenly the ground shakes. We all get startled, especially me...

"BEJESUS-"

A stone stage appears form the ground with Marty on top of it.

Four looks at Marty in surprise, then he starts to laugh manically again before it calms down to sad laughs. I pat his back, comforting him.

He then grunts,and takes out a FUCKING DEMON BOOK. I move away and stand next to Mario. A pentagon appear behind Four and a demon or whatever comes up from the ground.

The demon then tries to stomp on Marty but fails and explodes. Kind of like a Lego under you foot. Hurts like bloody hell. 👍

Four gets launched towards the construction site, onto Marty's stone stage. Behind Marty is a wall of fire. I get worried and look over at Mario. He is glaring at Marty, his fingers twitching. He makes a call. "Yes. I need your help..." he hangs up.

"Who did you call?" I ask as he walks away.

Mario only turns his head, "You'll see.." he turns back and leaves.

I fidget with my hands. Oh what is going to happen? I go to Four and comfort him since he is crying in a ball.

__________________

A spotlight shines on a book.

The book opens, showing crudely drawn pictures of the crew, and a narrator, Bob, starts to tell the story.

"Once upon a time, there once was a bunch of nerds who wanted to build a castle."

The scene changes into the construction site.

"So they did. But one day," The page turned to show Marty but with evil eyes and a wicked smile, "A cardboard nerd appeared." 'Marty' laughs like flowery in Undertale.

Page turned to see Mario pulling at 'Marty'.

"No matter how hard they tried." Mario gets launched to the side. "The cardboard nerd won't move."

Page turned to show...I don't know how to describe it but... I can take a picture!

"Much time has passed, and a legend emerged. That who submerged this Marty out of the ground will get the castle and will be-"

Four interrupts Bob. "WHAT?? I NEVER SAID THEY'D GET OWNERSHIP OF THE CASTLE!!"

"What the fuck Bob! Listen for once you asshole!" I fight with Four.

"Shut up gae Five. That's why you have no one with you."

"Oh shut up! And stop calling me that!!"

"Never."

I roll my eyes.

We look at the huge line that formed in the front. Jeez I never knew this many people wanted ownership. That's insane..but also hurtful...

Bob whispers to Four, something I couldn't really hear since I'm too busy looking at the long line of people. Our friends are at the start...side characters at the back... Three gestures me to him. I go to him.

"Watch this, Five." He pays the 10 dabuloons, Bob starts to say money over and over well Three walks besides him.

Three grabs a hold of Marty and try's to love him. But like the previous try's...it doesn't work. And only cracks his back.

"OH FUCK! You okay Three?!"

"MY SECOND SPINE!!"

"What?!"

"Nothing!" He blushes and cracks his back to normal. "Alright, wise guy. Eh?" He pulls out eggdog and Eggcat.

"Aw~" I awed, looking at eggdog and Eggcat.

But then Three turns eggdog and Eggcat around and turns out they're fucking grenades. My hearts cracks, my awe face turns it's a horrified, scared face.

Might add picture here of this ^ (I DID)

Three sticks both of the  grenades on Marty's head and pulls the tabs. "So long, gay bowser!" He grabs my hand and rushes us away.

The grenade exploded, the dust clears only to see Marty completely fine, but a bunch of eggdogs and eggcats fall from the sky. An eggdog lands on Threes head, knocking him to the ground.

It's literally raining cats and dog. I awed and catch some of the cats and dogs. "Aww~~~~ that might have been my favorite grenade!" I sit down and hug the animals suddenly I'm surrounded by them and in a huge pile of fur.

"Fuck-help!"

Four helps me out of the pile of fur and slobber by reaching in, grabbing my hand, and pulling me out.

"Thanks! I would hug you but I'm covered in fur."

"Thats fine.." he looks at the ground, sad.

"It's gonna be okay..maybe we need to look at it differently? Maybe Marty is protesting. Like Meggy and Tari did for the trees."

"Im sorry- what?"

"Nothing- I'm just talking to myself..."

Four hums.

______________

A bunch of people tried to move Marty but all failed.

Four starts to throw the side characters at him.

"THREE, FIVE. QUICK! I NEED MORE SIDE CHARACTERS!"

"WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE SIDE CHARACTERS!! WAIT! Five you didn't try yet! Try moving him!"

"Uh-I don't know..." I hesitated and looked at Four. He's giving me puppy dog eyes.

"Please! Your our only hope!"

"God...fucking.." My cheeks heat up, due to his cute face, and sighed. "Fine. I'll try."

Four yayed and pushes me towards Marty.

Me and Marty stare at each other. I wave with nervousness. "So..uh..don't mind me..but could you please move? Or..something? We really need this spot....did..we do something? That's causing you to protest against them of finishing the build?" I talked to Marty.

Four and Three looks at me like I am insane.

I then grab onto Marty and pulled. He's a bit looser from what I could tell. I stop pulling. "Hm..well I got you to loosen up a bit...but you don't want an apology from me do you?" Silence. "Hm.. I understand why Mario talks to you now." I walk away from Marty. "Sorry, but he ain't moving just yet. He wants an apology from someone but he wound tell me who."

"You understand that cardboard?" Three ask, looking at me weirdly.

"Well..not exactly I can just imagine what he's saying. But when I did talked to him he did loosen. So instead of pulling and pushing maybe-" I get cut off by Four walking away. I frown. Seems like Four wasn't hearing me talking...

__________

Four kicks a rock and looks at the camera. "I'm sorry guys...I couldn't keep my promise." Just then we hear horns. Four and me look over and see..the military?

"Golden eye guards?" He looked confused before realizing, "Oh no! That means!"

We hear music being played and see Swag. He looked like he was going to run into us so I get in front of Four, to protect him. But the car stop before it touched me.

I collapsed on the ground,scared as hell.

"Oh jeez! Five are you okay?!"

"Yep...just...let me lie here...for a few minutes..." I curl into a ball.

Four looks at me worried. He was about to say something but Swag interrupts him.

"Oh yes. That's right. This is now a military issue motherf—kers!" A flag and and explosion behind him.

"We got a phone call of what was happening." Chris explained.

"And more important, I was told that there is an indestructible object-" he pulls out a bazooka, "here that needed destroying."

"Yeah... it's no use though. Even with the entire town putting in their efforts to move Marty. He just wouldn't budge."

Three tries to explode Marty again only with a different bomb. TNT. But it fails, the detonator exploded instead. Five immediately got up from the ground and went to Three, to help him heal up and stuff.

Four is worried about Five though..wasn't he just collecting his thoughts?

Swag gets a pencil and writes on his face.

"This will be our greatest achievement yet."

"But how? I told you! He indestructible."

Swag pats his back. "Well ol smg4, ol buddy, ol pal, my little bean-"

A knife over his neck. "Shut the fuck up before I make you." It was Five, look at Swag angrily.

(I'm not drawing Swag. Maybe I'll update this to look more like swag (and drawn better) but for now. Have this.)

"Your making him uncomfortable. You better stop if you know what's good for you."

Swag nods and Five goes to Four. "You okay?"

"Yea..thanks."

"No prob!" I smile.

"Well as I was going to say, we are going to build a weapon to surpass metal gear. No, correction. HE is gonna build a weapon to surpass metal gear." Swag points to the side.

We look and see Mario wearing a Rick outfit, holding a green prime bottle with a pair of scissors, and having a nuclear thing beside him.

"Mario???" Me and Four said simultaneously.

Mario shushes us and puts the Prime in the nuclear, swishes it around, pulling it out shows a fucking nuclear stick.

Four is confused, I'm worried as hell.

"You mad man. You did it!" Swag congratulates Mario.

"Mario what the heck is all of this?" Four asked. "Why are you in a lab coat?" Mario walks away as he asked.

"Isn't it obvious? He pretending to me Rick from Rick and Morty...I think.."

"Mario's going to remove Marty for good." Mario answered one of Four's questions. "Isn't that what you wanted?"

Four catches up to Mario. "But won't that destroy the entire show grounds and neighboring towns with it?!"

"Yea! Come on man! You don't have to do this!"

Mario once again shushes us and walks towards a huge missile. Four looks at it and screams. It is pretty huge...

Mario gets on a ladder and the ladder goes up like an elevator.

Swag rushes over. "OH BOY OH BOY THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART!!"

Mario gets to a certain point and stops. He places the harmful glow stick inside, the door closes. The missile shakes and glows green. Mario hops off and lands with a grin. "It's ready."

"What Mario! You can't be serious right?!"

"Yea! What Four said! Don't do this!"

Chris starts to move the missile with a controller.

"I'm sorry it had to end up this way Marty." The missile is aimed at Marty.

"Mario! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! All our friends are there!" Four freaks out and so do I.

"Oh sh-t! Mario stop this!!"

Mario looks over at us, more at Four though. "But you told me to get rid of Marty, SMG4."

"Preparing to launch!" Chris announced.

"HOLY CRAP! FIVE, WE GOTTA TELL EVERYBODY TO GET OUT OF THERE!" Four grabs my wrist and we both run as fast as we can to where everyone is at.

I cuss under my breath as we run. Suddenly we get stopped because Four runs into another cardboard person.

Only this is Lui.

"The hell?! Not another one of you guys!" He reaches over to move it out of the way but stops. I look at him worriedly.

"Four? Are you okay? Four?!"

"Oh my god! I get it!"

"Get what?!"

"Why Marty is doing this! Come on!" Four drags me over to the stone stage. He lets go.

Four kneels down, trying to catch him breathe as he looks back at the missile and at Marty.

Four walks up to Marty. He inhales through his nose and out through his mouth. He puts a hand on Marty's shoulder. "Marty..You've been working really hard your entire existence, making people happy and earning for it. Then one day we come along and take everything from you earnt. I know what it feels like, to work so hard and feel unappreciated." I look at him like he's insane.

The fuck am I then? Chopped liver?!

Four smiles, "I'm sorry man..." he looks over at the piles of gold coins that Bob has collected, "Let me make this right by you. We'll pay you back and give you co-ownership of the castle." He points behind him. Four smiles brightly, hands on his hips.

Marty then falls over. We all celebrate. Me the loudest...cause..why not?! I knew it! I'm so happy that worked out! And now for the missile coming straight for us...WAIT WHAT?! We all scream in fear.

Four sprain into action, picking up Marty and launches himself towards the missile. He uses Marty as a bat, knocking the missile over to Swag, Chris and Mario.

BOOOOOMMMM!!!!

"Holy fuck...I would be dead..." I mutter under my breath.

The construction worker appear. "Alright bois, construction all clear. Let's get back to it!" All of the workers ride on a machine.

"The castle will be ready in two weeks." The construction worker says with a thumbs up. Four immediately got excited before shouting out of pure joy.

Mario falls from the sky, glowing green and on fire, also screaming out of pure joy but passes out afterwards...

_________________

Dear journal,

Sorry I haven't wrote on you in a while. Just been busy dealing with life. Four is really excited for his new home. I like having him here but he really wants his new home. I would be too...I'm maybe thinking of moving in with Four...if he asks me to.

Because I'm pretty sure Four is tired of seeing the pit out of my bathroom window. I am too. Gives me the creep every time I look at it.

I think Three tries to impress me today because when he tried to get Marty away, he was trying his best but cracked his..second...spine? Why and how does Three have two spines. But the crack...it makes me want to have my back crack like that..anyways!

I'm tired after today, Marty wouldn't let the construction worker work on the castle until Four apologized and gave Marty co-owner ship.

Goodnight,

Five.

I close the book, putting it away and laid down. I snuggle up to eggcats fur, feeling the softness. I close my eyes...

Sleep welcomes me...
