When SMG4 arose, he found that he was in a totally black place. 'Well, looks like you're finally awake,' said a voice behind him. 'Who—Who are you?' SMG4 asked. He turned around, only to see a black and dark purple image of himself. 'Well, I'm your shadow form, and the bringer of all of your sorrows and fear,' answered the voice. 'What are you going to do to me…?' SMG4 asked again. 'To kill you,' Shadow SMG4 answered. Just as SMG4 was going to ask why, the shadow showed an image of Mario, depressed, got lost in the forest all alone.
'M-Mario?' Trembled SMG4, whispering to himself, 'Is he okay, or will he die from hunger and thirst since he's lost?'
'Well, he might will,' Shadow SMG4 bursted out an evil laugh, 'And that's because of you, who shouted hurtful words to him.'
'H-How can it be!?' Thought SMG4, who was still shocked because of the image. Shadow SMG4 didn't respond, then showed another image of Mario. He was struggling to find the exit of the forest, but with no clue of what he can do.
'Why would this happen to him?' Thought SMG4, with a shocked look, 'I didn't expect him to really run away from me, and then he got lost in the forest…'
'Says the guy who yelled hurtful words to his friend,' said the shadow. 'Save it, I just can't control myself that time!' SMG4 yelled back. All of a sudden, his face turned red and felt guilty for that. He knew that he could just hold back his words to prevent the accident.
'So, you get why should I kill ya?' Asked the shadow, smirking. '…Yes,' answered SMG4. The shadow, then, got a knife out of nowhere, and teleported behind SMG4. He said, 'Goodbye, SMG4…'
