User blog:HobbesTiger64/The Alien Invasion Arc

Plot: After some shenanigans, Mario and friends find out that Greg the Alien is actually the last remaining member of an alien species destroyed by the malicious Armageddon Empire. But that's not even the worst part. The worst part is the empire is coming for Earth next! With millions of lives under threat, the SMG4 gang must team up with some unlikely allies to save the world.

New characters:
 * Arti: Tari's younger brother (aged 11). Unlike his elder sister, he is shown to be cynical, grumpy, socially inept and apathetic to other's problems. However, he is shown to protect Tari if any harm comes to her. Much like his sister, he is shown to be a big fan of video-games (mainly the Super Smash Each Other In The Ass Bros. series) and is a meta-runner. He is also shown to have a crush on Meggy.


 * Armageddon Empire: An omnicidal alien empire from a distant galaxy which has been destroying planets since 1955 (both comedically stated in their motto and a reference to an alien sighting in Area 51). Though most are often portrayed in a light-hearted tone (eg two troops at the warship's bar complaining about their miserly pay checks), they are definitely the darkest SMG4 villains ever. If Francis almost eradicating a majority of the inkling race was bad, the empire had destroyed 419 entire planets, and all their inhabitants by the time the arc begins. And may I remind you, Francis only went that far to get his waifus. The empire is killing decillions out of pure malice!


 * Emperor Nul: The emperor of the aforementioned Armageddon Empire. And if you thought the empire was horrific, Nul is the absolute definition of pure evil. Unlike most other villains in the SMG4 series, Nul is sadistic, hateful, cruel, egotistical, genocidal, treacherous and a totally horrific enemy. He sees no meaning in life and wants to destroy the entire universe. That alone makes him the darkest and most evil villain in the entire history of SMG4.


 * Assions: The species which Greg originated from. They originated from the planet Ass. In July of 2019, the planet and every Assion, except for Greg, was destroyed by the Armageddon Empire. Greg worked at a desk job prior to the planet's destruction.

'''WARNING: SPOILERS FOLLOW! PROCEED WITH CAUTION!'''

After losing the Battle Of The Mushroom Kingdom, Nul decides to enact his revenge by both abducting Mario to kill him and to destroy Earth using the Obliterato-Ray, prompting the SMG4 gang to travel into space and raid the empire main flagship The Firestorm to rescue Mario. This all culminates in a final showdown with Nul, where Nul shows himself to be quite the fighter, even managing to destroy an Ultra-Instinct Shaggy made by Axol. Though the SMG4 crew manages to get the upper hand, they are unable to stop Nul from activating the Obliterato-Ray. Fortunately, using a strategy he secretly planned, Mario orders Bowser to throw a reverse-Uno card in front of the ray, deflecting it and sending it right into the fleet, destroying it and killing Nul. Though they are on the ship during it's destruction, the SMG4 gang somehow survive but are hospitalised, where they visited by Arti and Jeeves who congratulates them for saving Earth from destruction and give them Super Smash Each Other In The Ass Bros. N. Sane Trilogy U Deluxe HD Remix featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series as to say thanks, thus ending the arc.

Trivia:
 * Unlike previous arcs, Bowser has a much larger role (especially in SMG4: Bowser's Alien Encounter and SMG4: Wrath Of Nul).
 * Originally, Emperor Nul was to named 'Commander Ass' to fit with the idea of giving villains stupid names. However, I renamed him to make a lot darker and because his name sounded to similar to the A.S.S. I also made him an emperor to give him a lot more grandeur.
