He couldn't understand how it had all come to this. He. Had. WON! He had the red hatted moustachioed freak, their avatar, RIGHT where he needed him. Their universe was being drained of all of its meme energy, funnelled to his crystal to catalase a new but familiar universe. A few minutes, that's all it would have taken for Ax0l to have his home back. Everything would have been back the way it was supposed to be. Yet here he was, grappled from behind by their now gigantic avatar as one of their little posse brandished a blade at him.

Ax0l knew exactly what she was. In possessing the Axolotl he learned a lot about this gaggle of annoyances. This universe's Meme Guardians, SMG4, The amnesiac with half a clue and SMG3 the parasite that chases after SMG4 like like a shadow. As much as Ax0l resented SMG1 and SMG2 at the very least they were capable guardians unlike 3 and 4. Mario, the avatar with no sense and a spaghetti fetish. Luigi, a coward through and through. Boopkins, an anime obsessed loser that cries at the slightest provocation. Bob the cloaked degenerate, kin with Boopkins with a lust for attention rivalling 3. Meggy the mutated ginger freak with no purpose. Saiko, an arrogant sociopath who puts herself at a much higher station than she's worth. Tari, a clumsy naive woman who thinks she can avoid violence. All of them were pathetic!

Then there's Melony, the one threatening him with her blade. A melon turned narcoleptic woman with the drive and sense of a sloth. Someone like her shouldn't be a problem. Yet he couldn't shake the feeling of unease at the idea of facing her head on. It had to be that mask, there wasn't another explanation. She was just a melon before it landed on her and turned her into a human. And blessed her with the power of a god. Ax0l could have crushed her under his boot if she had still just been a watermelon. But NO! He had to deal with a version of her that could quite literally cleave this construct of his down the middle if she got the chance.

But he won't give her the chance. He'll pull her in just as he had done earlier today and keep her away from himself by stashing her with her precious Axol. He would have had reservations about this if she hadn't of hesitated to put Ax0l down when she had the chance just because he looked vaguely like Axol. If Ax0l hadn't gotten a read on her the last time he pulled her in when he used her like a battery to free himself from the clutches of the USB's. He knew Melony could never bring herself to hurt, let alone kill Axol.

She just wasn't strong enough to do what needed to be done.

She seemed undaunted as the bright flash enveloped her, vanishing from sight. Ax0l started to thrash anew against the giant avatar as he took stock of the greatest threats. The SMG's, if he didn't deal with them they would pull out all manner of tricks to bind him or crush him including rejuvenating their avatar's power. Obviously he had to put the avatar in his place but all he had to do for that was to wait until the meme energy left him. He'd start with 4 and 3 since they were right in front of him then go down the line ending with 1's big blocky head. Saiko was strong but no where near strong enough to hurt him. The rest were fodder. It took less than a minute for the avatar's grip to start to loosen as Ax0l let out a guttural growl, the giant Plummer screaming in his ear, "WAH! Mario's losing his grip!"

Ax0l saw fear flood 4's face as he called out, "Hurry up Melony! We're losing control!" Ax0l kept thrashing against his binding's, bellowing louder and louder, urging his muscles to work harder and harder as the seconds passed. He felt his head slam against the avatars and in one swift tug...

He felt his left arm slip free.

That single moment was just what he needed. Ax0l twisted his now free elbow back, smashing it right into Mario's skull. And with that he was free again! He wasted no time in swinging Inkweavers handle down towards the pair of SMG's. 3 was smart and floated to the side, 4 not so much as he desperately tried to float backwards in vain. "Crap crap crap!" 4 screeched as his arm grew closer. He would have been crushed if Ax0l's arm hadn't been shunted off course by a weight hitting him from behind. That pesky plumber had shoulder barged him!

He shoved Mario back and spun around, backhanding mario with Inkweaver before launching him backwards by slaming his fist into mario's stomach. The dust cleared showing a shrunken Mario. He faced the two SMG's wanting to try and smash 4 again only for his blue eye to be met by a flying wooden bat. Ax0l winced in pain, knowing exactly threw that. It seemed like 3 wanted to go first. Desperate to be number one as always. Ax0l used Inkweaver's gem to gain control over 3's body and flung him towards one of the decrepit floating building's, hoping to smash him to pieces.

Only for Luigi to jump between 3 and the building breaking the impact. Ax0l growled as 3 called out "Nice going stretch! What, couldn't stop us from crashing using your green missile?!" luigi replying with a pained groan.

Ax0l Slammed his hand and Inkweaver against his head, him seething with rage. "All I wanted was my home back the way it was! WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST GIVE ME THAT!?" Inkweavers gem glowed once again as a massive boulder careened towards 4, only for a blue blur to dart behind it as it slowed to a stop. In an instant it was shot back at Ax0l revealing a determined looking but smug SMG1. Ax0l was stunned for just a moment and seething. He was planning to start collecting them all up in one place using Inkweaver.

CRACK!

He didn't know he wouldn't get the chance. His head shot around to the source of the sound and found, to his horror, huge cracks running around the gem's face. Who could have?! He got his answer as a smug Saiko and Boopkins called out, "Good luck keeping up without your psychic powers ya big zero!" He saw, lodged in Saiko's hammer, a large metal spiky ball. How dare they… THOSE MISERABLE RUNTS! In an instant he swung Inkweaver down to mash them into a fine red paste.

Only for the blue haired bitch to zoom past and scoop them up and out of harms way. He couldn't understand, how the hell were they giving him so much trouble! He was about to give chase as a yellow blur smashed directly into his skull causing him to howl in pain. He was finished with this pathetic resistance! He noticed 2 had stopped glowing, which plastered a malevolent grin on his face. It was time to finish what he started with those two. He began to reach for the now defenceless SMG2, ready to crush him between his fingers.

Only for Bob to shoot past and knock 2 along with himself out of Ax0l's reach. Although he barely caught sight of that transgression since he had a foot lodged in his red eye from the mutant stomping on him. Out of instinct, one he wasn't sure was his own, his massive maw lunged open threatening to swallow the now stranded meggy and grind her between his massive jagged teeth. He would have done it too, if Ax0l's body hadn't locked up as an explosive pain rung trough his form.

Yet no one had hit him.

It was at that moment he knew he had made a terrible mistake. He was so focused on the fight out here, he hadn't checked up on the people trapped within him. Why would he, she was Axol's friend she wouldn't hurt him! Yet he knew Axol had been attacked. In that moment Ax0l brought his arms inwards only to launch them outwards again letting loose a warbled messy shockwave from the now damaged Inkweaver, flinging everyone away a random distance from him in a panic. He then brought his hands back in, encasing himself in an amber force field. He wasn't going to let them get away with this. They weren't going to stop him!
