Chapter Two:

Enter the Yeast Man


After finding a portal to the Internet Graveyard, thanks to some assistance from Professor E. Gadd, SMG4 went straight to Starbucks by the temple where the Ancient Protectors once stood. Despite the heat emanating from the holographic flames, he was able to get inside and found SMG3.

"HOW DID YOU GET THREE-MILLION VIEWS?!" SMG4 shouted.

SMG3 looked at the meme man with annoyance. "Yo, can you keep it down?" He asked, "I'm streaming here and this sesh can't be interrupted."

"Bro, really? I thought we were friends now, former enemies!" SMG4 went on, "We're MEME GUARDIANS! We buried the hatchet to save all of creation from Zero twice in a row, your job is to look after the memes in this dimension and I thought you gave up on trying to take over YouTube and replace me as number one?!"

Egg-Dog barked.

"Ignore this guy..." SMG3 said to the camera, "Someone's just jealous over here."

"OI, HULLO!"

Just then, the computer beeped and a message popped up in the chat, followed by the sound of a cash register chinging. It didn't take a genius to figure out that someone had made a donation, SMG3 saw this and grinned.

"Oh, hey. Thanks for the donation, Mr. Yeast." He said with a smile.

'Why does that name sound familiar?" SMG4 thought as the words resonated in his head.

"Um, hold on!" SMG3 raised an eyebrow, "What does 'coming in hot' mean?"

Just then, a bright fiery portal opened and a man dove into the room, landing right next to SMG4. The man landed in a superhero landing-style position as the portal closed and he stood up, allowing the meme man and his former nemesis to see him very clearly.

The man was wearing a yellow shirt and light blue jeans with a slight beard on his face.

"Uh, who are you?" SMG4 and SMG3 asked.

The newcomer smiled and declared, "I just happen to be the one who donated those three million dollars to your stream. That's right, standing here in the Starbuck of the Internet Graveyard in the flesh, you're looking at, the unforgettable and remarkable MISTER YEAST!"

"Whoa..." SMG4 breathed.

"SMG3..." Mr. Yeast told the streaming ex-villain, "Your stream broke the all-time streaming record and I have been watching, let's collab, I have been wanting to do a collaboration with someone such as you for some time, three-million views is impressive."

"You wanna collab, eh?" SMG3 remarked with a grin, "Gladly, but how about when my fire stream is over."

"Excellent, notify me and my people will contact you when possible."

Mr. Yeast clicked his fingers and a portal popped up outside, he stepped out of the Starbucks just as a vehicle resembling the Back to The Future DeLorean time-machine came flying in. The car set down and the door opened, Mr. Yeast climbed in and took the wheel before closing the door just as a pair of memes swarmed it.

"Last one who touches it keeps it challenge!" The Annoying Orange declared.

The memes attempted to grab it, but the DeLorean took off and several memes fell to the ground, and Mr. Yeast flew off, vanishing through the portal and leaving the Internet Graveyard with SMG4 and SMG3 watching from the not-so immolated Starbucks.

SMG4 turned to SMG3 with a slightly hopeful smile, an idea coming to mind. "So, uh...?" SMG4 started, "Tell me, good enemy-turned buddy, that Mr. Yeast guy? Think you could arrange something like, uh..."

"Let me guess?" SMG3 said with annoyance, "You want me to put in a good word that you want to collab with him too?"

SMG4 nodded.

"Perhaps if you help with the stream and after I collab with him once the stream is over."

SMG3 handed SMG4 a camera and the meme man nodded with annoyance as he began rolling the tape, feeling peeved by the fact that he was assisting the man with a stream that scored him millions of views, resulting in SMG3's popularity overshadowing SMG4, who had over six million subscribers on YouTube.

Hopefully it would turn out for the best in the end, perhaps things wouldn't be as bad as they seemed for the famous content-creator and meme guardian...
