SMG4 And MLP: Echoes Of The Past

"Mario! Where are you?", the YouTuber calls.

"Don't you know any spells that could track Mario down, Twilight?", Pinkie asks.

"No, not really", the Princess replies.

"Wait! I might have something." SMG4 pulls out the Retard Detector. "If anything can find Mario, this thing can." In the distance, singing could be heard.

Why Do We Hold

Regardless of darkness and light
I have chosen
The tables turning around me
Such a burden
But the light is upon me and you
I will follow
North or South, I will ignite you
You're hollow
Incinerating
The shield is fading
Mortal cadance rises for you
One more time
Desperation becomes obsession
I have paintings of you
Undraw the pain
Hold on onto the light
Cast by the angels that take flight
Why do we hold?
Look down, down onto me
Desperate to find a holier space
Why do we hold?
So that I can live to see you again
But without this incarnate we claim
Still residing
For the violence never solved anything
'Cause I'm still bleeding
Intoxication
Controlled possessions
Hold until my face turns blue
One more time
Crazed obstruction
So I contortions
I have paintings of you
Undraw the pain
Hold on onto the light
Cast by the angels that take flight
Why do we hold?
Look down, down onto me
Desperate to find a holier space
Why do we hold?
So that I can live to see you again
This is my whole vengeance
I will live for this day
To hold you in my arms
I will fly
For you
Hold on onto the light
Cast by the angels that take flight
Why do we hold?
Look down, down onto me
Desperate to find a holier space
Why do we hold?
So that I can live to see you again
This is my whole vengeance

"Over there!" The four heroes run towards the sound. It's Mario, still wearing the Element of Loyalty around his neck. SMG4 runs over and hugs the retarded Italian. "Whoo-hoo! WHOO-HOO!"

"SMG4? How'd you find me?"

"Your singing!", the YouTuber answers. An angry Rainbow Dash tackles Mario.

"Give me back my Element NOW!"

"Blah, blah, blah. I'm a dick pony and I'm a huge bitch!" Rainbow Dash knocks Mario out. However, he quickly recovers. "I'mma don't think you can do that." Mario and Rainbow Dash trade blows.

"ENOUGH! Both of you! You're acting like a couple of idiots!", Twilight shouts.

"Well, actually, I designed Mario to be idiotic", SMG4 says. Twilight glares at the YouTuber.

"Rainbow Dash, maybe you can use the Element of Loyalty to find the other Elements of Harmony."

"Hold on. If Mario hid them, then he can find them. He not as smart as me, but he can remember stuff. Mario, where'd you hide the Elements of Harmony?"

"Hmmm. I hid one in a bakery, another one at a farm, another one at a cottage, another one near a burnt tree, and the final one in a crevice. You're welcome."

"See? He's smart."

"Pingas."

"Wait. A bakery? There's only one bakery I know about: Sugarcube Corner."

"A burnt tree? That was my home... until it got destroyed during our final battle against Tirek."

"Alright. Pinkie, where's Sugarcube Corner?"

"Follow me", Pinkie Pie said. Mario and Rainbow Dash start singing.

(You may think I'm gone, but I'm still here!)
Awoken I stand, a four-legged creature!
(FOUR-LEGGED CREATURE!)
Buried alive, I crashed through the ether!
(CRASHED THROUGH THE ETHER!)
Bellowing in circles, I'm a survivor!
(I'M A SURVIVOR!)
The credit was taken, but I wasn't either!
(I WASN'T EITHER!)
I am the fear.
I'm the creator, trapped in a torture machine.
I'm broken.
But I swear for the unspoken, I'm still HERE!
Get out the way of me!
You cannot betray me again!
I'm armed with a destiny!
More times than your anarchy!
It's been harder to breathe!
I can't place all the pain I feel inside!
Prepare to meet thy maker!
Redeem the power!
Step down in the carriage and follow me!
I have devoured your friend on the other side!
Who could it be?
What did we do?
'Tis but a sign that I'm coming for you!
Neighbors at heart, I sold him in parts!
Came for the slaughter through angel's doors!
You are the bait I'd been waiting for!
First I must show you your inky remorse!
He's taken his course, yet I'M STILL HERE!
Get out the way of me!
You cannot betray me again!
I'm armed with a destiny!
More times than your anarchy!
It's been harder to breathe!
I can't place all the pain I feel inside!
Prepare to meet thy maker!
Can you hear it?
Can you feel his immortal presence?
It is time.
Set us free.
I FEEL THE END!
MAY ALL WHO DEFY ME STEP DOWN!
I'M NEAR YOUR END!
I JUST NEED MORE TIME!
Call on the light!
Shine it on me!
Breathe in the damage you see!
Screeches of pain inflict your mind!
Get out the way of me!
You cannot betray me again!
I'm armed with a destiny!
More times than your anarchy!
It's been harder to breathe!
I can't place all the pain I feel inside!
Prepare to meet thy maker!
(Inflict your mind!)

"What's that you got there, Mario?", Rainbow Dash asks.

"The Burrito-Looking Machine. It allows me to create portals to different places. It's from Portal, a video game. Hey, Pinkie. We should go to the center of Ponyville, Town Hall. The others will meet us there." Mario activates the Burrito-Looking Machine, sending the heroes to Ponyville.

"Wow! Wait. Weren't we supposed to go to Sugarcube Corner?"

"Oh. Well... at least the others know where we are."

Meanwhile, Enzo watches the heroes. "Indeed they do, Mario. Indeed they do. Teams One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, and Twelve. Spread out across Equestria. Find out where the others are and report to me. It's time to end this land. Nothing will stand in my way. Nothing!"
