SMG4: Mario and the Experiment

Synopsis
Mario and friends are off to save Meggy. But what has happened to her?

Plot
"Hi, how are ya?" The episode continues with where The Inkling Disappearances left off, Axol greets Meggy while the latter is surprised to find out that Axol wasn't actually the one who kidnapped her and summoned all those anime characters, and rather was held captive as well. Suddenly, the two hear a menacing laugh of the true culprit, who turns out to be none other than Francis. He says that Axol doesn't have enough courage to do what he has done and calls Axol a "disappointment". Meggy begins to rant on Francis about why would he ever do such a thing if Axol even lifted the anime ban for him. Francis then mentions the show that Axol and his team have presented to Peach in order to unban anime, and comments that this was rather pathetic (probably he was expecting a great anime battle). He summons Mewtwo and says that he's gonna use the Ink Weaver the way it's "supposed to".

Seeing his magic pen being used for malicious purposes, Axol tries to tell Francis not to do that, only to be force choked by Mewtwo. Meggy then gets very scared for Axol's life and begs Francis and Mewtwo to stop it. As Mewtwo stops choking Axol, Francis begins to laugh insanely and then takes Meggy to the room where the Inkling ink is extracted and stored. He then confirms he and the Anime Cartel have captured half of the whole Inkopolis population and says the Ink Weaver has 70% power.

Meggy then asks him why would he kidnap hundreds of thousands of innocent Inklings just for some "stupid" cartoons, to which Francis responds that his plans are far beyond that, and presents "The Ink Zuccer 2000". He starts bragging about his invention's strength, and then says that he'll harvest the ink of a "Very Special Inkling" so he can power the Ink Weaver up to 100% to have his very own "island full of waifus", before getting kicked in the face by Meggy. He then calls Mewtwo for help, and as Mewtwo drags Meggy into the "Ink Zuccer", he continues that Meggy is tough enough to completely max out the Ink Weaver's power. Meggy begins pleading for help by Mario and his crew.

As it turns out, Mario and his friends are still heading towards Anime Island. However, their efforts are complicated by Godzilla, who makes a reappearance following his abduction of Desti. Unfortunately, none of their efforts prove successful in taking him down.

Fishy Boopkins saves Tari from being crushed by Godzilla's hand, however, he takes the blow in the process. He then proceeds to summon Joe Boopkins, his father.

However, Godzilla proves to be a much more difficult opponent than what Mr. Boopkins usually faces. Fortunately, Mario distracts Godzilla at a crucial moment by accidentally launching himself out of a cannon. This allows Mr. Boopkins to defeat Godzilla.

Meanwhile, Meggy discovers that Desti has also been captured. However, Desti tricks Mewtwo into breaking her handcuffs, and then proceeds to rescue Meggy. Desti then removes Meggy's handcuffs as well. The two of them hide from Pikachu and Miku.

Meggy and Desti discover they're right below Axol's cell, who is being beaten by the Anime Cartel. He tries to explain that Francis is using them, but they do not listen. Meggy and Desti then proceed to beat up the Anime Cartel and free Axol.

However, the two of them are swiftly knocked out by Super Saiyan Goku, who launches a Kamehameha at them, leaving Axol very shocked. Axol attempts to beat up Goku, but gets knocked out by him in one punch.

Shortly after that, Axol is put in a strait jacket and is chained along with Desti. Francis decides to have the two of them watch while he extracts Meggy's ink. Goku is seen holding Meggy over the Ink Zuccer 2000. As Desti begs Francis to "let her go", Goku literally "lets her go" by dropping her right into the Ink Zuccer. The episode ends on a cliffhanger with Meggy falling into the Ink Zuccer which then closes, making it uncertain if there is anything possible to save her.
