You were hanging out with the guys at the castle when you heard the noise at the door. You followed SMG4 to the door and balked at all the shreks at the door and stood there blinking as Mario was accused of them before he explained his adventure through anime.

A brief spat about the legitimacy of shrek being anime happened before they see if Axol knows something. He explained he doesn't as you feel a looming dread which takes a small backseat when Mario starts teasing Axol about his crush on Melony to flatten the plumbers head with a frying pan.

"Care to join us on our search to figure out what's going on?" SMG4 asked and Axol seemed uneasy but accepted anyways before Mario was abducted.

you rush after the rogue ogre and you hear SMG4 and Axol following behind you as you tried to levitate which worked shakily. You focused your thoughts and followed them until they got into a car. By that point the others had caught up and the shreks gave you a car?

"Something off about this." You said looking around warily before being shoved in the car by SMG4.

You gave chase and soon crashed unceremoniously into the parked car. While everyone recovered from their minor aches and pains you all saw another guardian pod and the shreks picking up SMG4. You tried to get up and help but it seemed everything was ok and the last known piece of SMG0 was squished.

"Well that swiftly ended what could have been a horrific series of events that could have ended in death and destructio-OW!" SMG4 started to say before you smacked him with a glowing energy hand.

"You jinxed it you fool!" You say before realizing what you did and began to celebrate to yourself before a tentacle grabbed Mario. You and SMG4 rushed to grab Mario and Axol to his credit did have a good idea in his attempt but it would prove to be his doom.

He tied a rope to you two and drove away from the tentacle. Which worked beautifully knocking you four back a bit. When you all were drawing up plans to get rid of the eyesore Axol called out it coming for you guys. SMG4 got Mario out of the way and before you could even try to pull him with you Axol pushed you out of the way and the pod calmed him.

You watched in abject horror as your friend was made a host for the worst thing that could happen to this universe. You rushed up when he was spit out and found a oddly convenient small door to put on Axols forehead and jumped in mentally.

You looked around a place where once was anime littering the floor and a chained up Axol.

"Axol! Axol what happened in there?" You asked running up to your friend trying to pull at the chains but they shocked you off.

"He's made me his host... I- I don't know if you guys can fix me...in time to stop him." He said starting to cry.

"Axol listen to me. We will try, we may not succeed but damned if we don't make an effort." You say looking at him.

"No. He's too powerful for you guys right now, save your strength. I just want a favor ok?" He asked as you felt yourself getting kicked out.

"Name it, quickly." You say hurriedly.

"Tell Melony to visit me." He said tears shedding down his face as you regain consciousness outside. You gasp then look around and see a comatose Axol and the three of you take him back to the castle after witnessing the usb take flight to the castle.

You had Melony visit Axol. And when everyone was outside and testing how durable the guardian pod was Axol showed up. You were anxious about his arrival because that meant that 0 now had control of his hosts body. Fr/N caught on and also eyes him warily.

"This ain't good..." you both mutter.
