Peach's Castle.

The Old Anti-Cast is in the Main Hall

Belle: So I had a weird dream last night.

Whimpu: About what?

Rob: Was it about Corn?

Jub Jub: Jub Jub!

Belle: No. It was about how me, Tari, SMG4 and Boopkins got our own monster partners to save theirs and our world. I got some purple rabbit with a moon motive. She was incredible shy, but I warmed up to her.

Whimpu: Oh, that almost sounds like-

Mario crashes through the door and jumps into a fridge! The fridge shakes until Mario jumps out

Mario: GUYS! IT'S AN EMERGENCY!

The Anti-Cast: What?!

Mario: SMG3 HAS RETURNED FROM THE GRAVEYARD!

The Anti-Cast: What?!

Mario: BUT WORSE, HE GOT A NEW ANTI-CAST!

The Anti-Cast: What?!

Mario: BUT EVEN WORSE, THEY KIDNAPPED THE ENTIRE GANG!

The Anti-Cast: WHAT?!

Mario: BUT, THE WORST. POSSIBLE. THING! I'M HUNGRY AGAIN!

He went back into the fridge

—

The Anti-Cast is standing around a table. They're looking at SMG4's workroom.

Whimpu: He's been there for a while now.

Jub Jub is sobbing. A concerned Belle comforts him by hugging him

Belle: Don't worry, Jub Jub. We'll save your brother

Jub Jub: *Sniffle Jub Jub?

Belle: Yeah.

Mario opened the door and jumped down

Mario: Ok! Here are the facts!

He threw some photos on the table, each with the face of a member of the Anti-Cast 2.0.

Mario: Ok, here's the plan! Belle! You take Evelyn!

Belle: Who?

Mario: Whimpu! You take Melony!

Whimpu: Wait, Melony?

Mario: Rob! You take Coco

Rob: Whut?

Mario: Jub Jub! You take Minion!

Jub Jub: Jub?

Mario: Alright, now let's find other candidates!

Mario started to walk to the exit

Belle: Wait, that's it?! We don't even know who they are?

Mario: Doesn't matter! We need reinforcement!

Whimpu: But do we have a plan?

Mario stopped in his tracks and turned around

Mario: We don't need a plan!

Belle: Since they caught everyone, we need that a plan!

Mario: Obviously since you guys had no problem deleting them!

Everyone gasped. That stung. Mario realized and sighed sadden

Mario: I'm sorry... it's just...

He sat down

Mario: Last time I was myself against SMG3, I lost my friends. It was pure luck that they ended up in the Internet Graveyard. But... if I fail...

He started to cry

Mario: I could never forgive myself if they actually die!

Jub Jub walked over to Mario and hugged him, who hugged him back. Belle sighed and hugged him too. The fat idiot felt better now

Whimpu: So what's the plan?

—

Mario: Ok, let's start with Evelyn. A more narcissistic version of Belle.

Belle: Hey!

Mario: Sorry. Anyways. Obviously, we fight fire with fire, Gamer Chicks duke it out! Rob, are you immune to Chainsaws?

Rob: No, of course not! This corn boi here is only bulletproof

Mario: Then you go after Namai Ureta.

Whimpu: Who?

Mario: She was an inkling who lost the Final Fest against our team. She then sacrificed her inkling form to get back on Meggy, just because she promised her dead sister to win. Petty bitch...

Belle: I don't know, it sounds kinda reasonable-

Mario: She forced Meggy into a gunfight with her, with real guns!

Belle: Oh.

Mario: Speaking of that, since Rob is bulletproof, you'll go up against Namai. Her guns will have zero effect on you.

Rob: Cornerific

Mario: Coco Shymura. Like Saiko, she's from a dating simulator. She's jealous of Saiko for becoming a normal person and getting friends. She has a lance, contra to Saiko's hammer. Whimpu, since both her and you are shy who don't like fighting, you'll go after her!

Whimpu: What? What can I do?

Belle: You're a simp, Whimpu. Try to shwo her

Whimpu: Ok...

Mario: Starman3. He used to be on our side, but he was kicked off when we found out he was here just to get views to his channel because he's friends with SMG4... and he's a child predator.

The Old Anti-Cast: WHAT?!

Mario: I suggest we get Anti-Shroomy, giving him a taste of his own medicine! Let's see how his chain saw son of s bitch deal with a demon hunter.

—

Some time later, Belle shows a demon mask on Shroomy. He faces morphs into purple.

Anti-Shroomy: Who's gonna get rekt?!

—

Mario: Oiram. A Reverse Colored clone I accidentally created a few weeks ago. Is apparently super smart and just want to beat up me just for the fun of it. We'll obviously get Wario to fight him. And then... Melony

Belle: Melony is a human now?

Mario: Hmh... turned her into a human through a test, she then reprogrammed the machine to free SMG3, and began this plan of creating a True Anti-Cast, was because we treated her like a joke and threw her into the trash.

Belle's eyes widened in realization.

Belle: So it's my fault... isn't it?

Mario: Sigh, no. It's ours for not getting that Melony really was alive. She kinda overreacted, but it's understandable. Waluigi will deal with her.

Jub Jub: Jub Jub?

Mario: Working you into the plan is kinda hard, Jub Jub. Tish, formerly Minion, is a clone of SMG4 and my spaghetti

Belle, Whimpu, Rob and Jub Jub: Gross/*Jub

Mario: She was later dropped off at an orphanage somewhere. Tish is here because she got surgery from Coco to look like an actual little girl. But she can fight well with an umbrella, for some reason... Jub Jub, you're the weakest one here.

Jub Jub: Jub...

Whimpu: Hm... oh! What if we have more than just the same number!

Everyone else: What?

Whimpu: Well, SMG3 got the same number to match. What about we get more?

Mario: ... GENIOUS!

—

Jub Jub happily climbs up Axol snd sits on his head. He closes both of his claws

Axol: Let's save our friends!

—

Mario: Which leads us to just SMG3... I have two candidates, but... I hope they're willing to help...

Belle raised an hand.

Mario: Yeah?

Belle: One question that had been bothering me: How do you know all the info about them?

Mario: Reddit!

Belle: What?

—

X and FM's house.

Mario id about to know, when suddenly the door open, X walks out

X: Alright, let's save them

Mario: Wait, how do you kno-

X: Future Vision, Mario. I asked FM to prepare transport too.

FM drives in an armored police truck

FM: Let's get this party started!
