Peach's Castle

"Come on, guys!" Fishy Boopkins was crying hard. "We have to figure out some way to prove she is innocent!"

"This looks like a job for... Detective Mario!" Mario wore his detective suit. Everyone of his friends brings a TV set that includes the recording inside Meggy's Apartment to view the brawl that happened. Luckily, the recording was fireproof when they got it. Thanks to Bob.

"Alright, let's tuck this sucker in and see what has happened." Bob puts the tape inside the VCR. The TV reveals to showcase the whole scene and at the ending where the Killer Ink leader was about to die, everyone shocks wide open. They see that the knife Meggy threw actually missed, the Killer Ink leader then takes that knife, and throws above to where the statue hatchet was. So A, she could kill himself with what he wants as her murder weapon. And B, to frame Meggy as a murderer so that the already deceased culprit can pin her to soil her reputation.

"OH MY GOD, WE ACTUALLY GOT IT!" Luigi said in tears of shock and joy.

"Let's get moving, guys!" SMG4 hollered. All of Mario's friends ran to where the Death Row station is.

Death Row
Electric Chair

"Ladies and Gentlement of Inkpolis! We here live to witness the Splatfest Tournament Champion Meggy Spletzer executed for the First-Degree Murder of the Killer Ink team leader!" The Inkling broadcaster said pointing his camera to Meggy is while reading his paper. "Professor E. Gadd has already introduced his first death row machine to the prison officials, so it's no surprise to see that the first victim would be the one to help her."

Professor E. Gadd looked sad but shook his head knowing what Meggy had done. "...There's nothing I can help you with. I must take off."

"T-That's alright." Meggy sighed with the Electric Chair helmet stuck to her head.

"Meggy, I guess that means goodbye right?" Axol tapped on the glass in a sad tone. "I mean, we had fun times you know? So, this is where all it ends then."

"Axol, it's fine." Meggy smiled, tears leaking outside of her eyes down her cheeks. "I'm going to see Desti sometime in the afterlife and tell her what I've achieved to make it this far. I couldn't have done if it weren't for you and my friends."

"I-I see." Axol suddenly began to cry. "G-Goodbye, Meggy. It's been fun!"

"No hard feelings." Meggy sulked down.

Detective Jeeves was eating popcorn while wearing plastic-like glasses. "Heh! Heh! Watching from this execution with the best seat on and I can watch in 3D!" He pointed his glasses at the camera to show how sparkling they are!

"Enough talk!" The Inkling wearing a black hood said. "Pull the lever, Executioner!"

And so, the Executioner placed his hand on the lever and begins to pull it straight down. Meggy closes her eyes and stops crying.

...

...

...

...

OBJECTION!

"Wait! We have evidence of Meggy's innocence!" Fishy Boopkins yelled out to everyone.

Jeeves turned around, looking very gruntled. "She has already proved Guilty to this offense and her execution is ready to commence! Begone, I say!"

NOT SO FAST!

"Wait just a minute!" Mario pulled out the tape and his friends show him the VCR TV. "Here is the video of her innocence!"

"Whaaaaaaaaaaa..?" Jeeves looked confused, the Inklings began to notice and scratch their chins.

"Play it Mario!" Fishy Bookings yelled. Mario quickly inserts the tape into the VCR and starts playing.

Everyone's eyes widened when they noticed that Meggy actually missed the hatchet! And then seeing the Killer Inkling Team leader killing himself to paint Meggy as a murderer! This is madness!

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Jeeves yelled at the sky that his first case has fallen.

"Well, well..." The Judge Inkling came out of the bathroom in the Execution to see the recording and reconvenes his verdict. "It seems this evidence overturns your 'Guilty' plea. I find the defendant, Meggy Spletzer."

NOT GUILTY

Everyone threw confetti at each other as Meggy is let out from the execution room. The first thing she sees were her friends running to her and Axol was the first to hug her.

"MEGGY!" Everyone yelled in happiness and joy. Meggy cries in tears in joy as everyone group hugs.

30 Minutes Later...
Outside the Death Row Station

Meggy and all her friends were outside cheering. With everybody else from Inkpolis coming to congratulating her.

"Thank you, all of you." Meggy looked down on the ground happy. "I-I was going to the sky to see Desti, but your help wasn't needed."

"Nah, you're alright when you stick with us." Fishy Boopkins said.

"Yeah! Espiecally when you got me behind your back!" Saiko pleaded with her Undying Loyalty.

"I see." Meggy sighed.

"Meggy." Tari called, Meggy looks at her. "Look, since you've lost your trophy... We brought you a new one!"

"Really?" Meggy placed her hand on her mouth.

Callie and Marie came with a TOTALLY brand new trophy. "Meggy, you've earned this no matter what as the leader of Splat Squad." They then continued to put the Trophy in front of her, shinier and glossier. "Here! Make sure you don't get blind!"

"T-Thank you!" Meggy hugged the thing so hard, it was a dream come true. "This symbolizes what I achieved for a friend whom I thought was my rival!"

"Aw, don't cry." Tari patted her on the back.

"Yep! Group Hug time!" Mario called, and all of his friends including her best friend Axol & E. Gadd joined in. "We're always here for you Meggy. No matter what!"

Desti looks at her in the sky in Heaven, she slightly smirks before walking away to where she truly belongs. "...No matter what."

The End

P.S. Axol has a brand new Magical Drawing Pen and Meggy gets her apartment complex rebuilt including Desti's photo. SUGOI!
