"We have to find them. Only Mario can bring us home.", SMG4 says.

"You probably don't know this, but Mario's an idiot", his doppelganger replies.

"What're you saying?"

"I'm saying that we're probably screwed. I think I see a village up ahead. We should probably ask for directions."

"I don't think so!", an all too familiar voice shouted. The duo's eyes grow wide. "Well, well... it's been too long, hasn't it... Luke?"

"That voice... it can't be!", the YouTuber says.

"Oh, yes, it can... it really can!", the voice says. A familiar face appears from the shadows of the forest.

"Enzo?! But how? I thought you were..."

"Gone? Well, sadly for you, I never left. I've been here, plotting my revenge!", the psychopath says.

"Are you honestly still living in the past? Times have changed!", SMG3 says.

"Oh, the doppelganger", Enzo says.

"No. Like to think of myself as a doppelganger-killing long-term booty call."

"Where are our friends?!", the YouTuber demands.

"What makes you think I'd tell you?!", Enzo retorts. Suddenly, Enzo is levitated by an unknown force. "What the...?!" He is tossed aside, and a crew of ponies appear before the duo.

"Are you guys okay?", one of them asks.

"We are now. Thanks. SMG4, listen. Enzo wants both of us. We need to work together. I know I'm probably the last person you want to trust right now, but we need to find the brothers before Enzo can", SMG3 says.

"I understand", the YouTuber replies.

"Who the hell are you guys?"

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship", one of the ponies answers.

"I'm Applejack. Nice to meet ya", another one says.

"Um... I'm Fluttershy", another one says.

"Awww..."

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!", another one says.

"I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest pony in Ponyville!", another one says.

"I think Mario's faster than you."

"I'm Rarity", the final one says.

"The name's SuperMarioGlitchy3, but you can call me SMG3. The guy in the white overalls is SMG4."

"Let's go to the castle.", Twilight says.

The eight heroes walks to the castle. Meanwhile, Enzo regains consciousness. "Oh, hell, no."

As The Lights Go Out

Stone cold, in the middle of a circus
But the lights are all on you
Try to fake a smile
But the curtain draws on you
When the crowd begins to cheer
It's a sign that the end is drawing near
Presenting the world
When the lights go out
The tears fade, right before their very eyes
But yours begin to shed
Fake it for a while but the coursing darkness treads
For behind each casting art
Is the image of a man who's torn apart
Escaping the world
When the lights go out
Fear not, I have descended
Before you even knew
I only told the might of you
The smile you see, can't comprehend it
But I died too long ago
So every time I start the show
I drop the act and away I go
Stone froze, for a friend with the message
But the message failed to send
Too many times I bailed, cause the show's about to end
Like an intermittent break
Like a purgatory sending me to shake
I walk off the stage and the lights go out
You would have never believed me while smiling
You would have stopped to intrigue while I'm frowning
You would have helped just to shake it off
But it bled me dry
Maybe you're not supposed to know
But would it kill you to just remind yourself I'm gone?
I'm broken again, as the lights go out
Fear not, I have descended
Before you even knew
I only told the might of you
The smile you see, can't comprehend it
But I died too long ago
So every time I start the show
I drop the act and away I go
By the time you hear me cry
I'll have lost you through thousands of voices
All blinded by the sounds
No remorse for me is found
And I am not meant to be chained to the ground
I have no soul
Have no goal
Have no promises
Yet the mask is sealed away!
So every time I take my leave
Oh darkness, please. Oh just leave me be
Holding on for life
I can't let you know why I am alive!
Fear not, I have descended
Before you even knew
I only told the might of you
The smile you see, can't comprehend it
But I died too long ago
So every time I start the show
I drop the act and away I go
By the time this little number ends
I'm gone
And you can't cure my mind

Meanwhile...

"La-la-la, hmm-hmm-hmm. Hmm? Ooh-ooh-ooh! Ooh-ooh-ooh! Mamma-mia. Whoa!" Mario finds a cave. The Elements of Harmony are in his hands. He places the Element of Generosity in a crevice. He then goes to Sweet Apple Acres and hangs the Element of Honesty on an apple tree. He then goes to Sugar Cube Corner and places the Element of Laughter on a box. He then goes to Fluttershy's cottage and places the Element of Kindness under the rug. He then goes to the remains of the Golden Oak Library and places the Element of Magic inside. He looks at the only remaining Element... and devours it. "Hey, that was pretty good." He walks off.

Meanwhile...

"Oh... Mamma-mia." Luigi walks into Tartarus. He sees a certain psychopathic Pegasus filly and a centaur. "Fuck this shit, I'm out." Luigi runs out. "Lucky me!" He runs off. "Go, Weegee! Go, Weegee! Go, Weegee! Go, Weegee!" Suddenly, Enzo tackles Luigi. Four Teletubbies appear. "Nope." Luigi slipps out of Enzo's grasp and runs off. "Go, Weegee! Go, Weegee! Go, Weegee! Go, Weegee!" Enzo turns around... and sees the giant prison.

Meanwhile...

"You see, a fatass named Mario teleported us here with some kind of magic wand. We have to get home", SMG4 says.

"Maybe we can use the Elements of Harmony to get you guys home", Twilight replies.

"Yeah, just one problem. I quickly flew to the Tree of Harmony, but the Elements were gone. The only thing there was the smell of spaghetti", Rainbow Dash says.

"Wait... spaghetti? I think Mario took them", SMG3 says. SMG4's right eye starts twitching.

"MARIO!!!!!!!!!", the YouTuber screams. SMG4's voice echoes throughout the entire castle. It could be heard all across Equestria and beyond.

"Uh-oh, spaghettios. La-la-la, hmm-hmm-hmm."

"Goddammit! God-fucking-dammit! That blue-overalled, spaghetti-eating, dumbass charlatan!"
