Li'l Ms. Marshmallow? ... I still believe in you. This can't be your end, right?

who... who are you...

beautiful... Where am I...?

[ask-miss-marshmallow]

Marshmallow? Are you "alive"? I mean, like, are your systems running at all? Are you going to reactivate & get up?

Whenever reboot your new body might be slightly different....

If it is time I should be destroyed, then I shall accept defeat.

My only regret is that I have not...

My friends...

Master P...

Hello Jeff :3

Please, please, please, just another moment and I can get this working…

[ask-miss-marshmallow]

I think he’s calling his father, “the doctor” because maybe he doesn’t have a good relationship with him? Tbh Master Porky didn’t exactly snatch him away so maybe the guy you’re fighting thinks Dr. Andonuts left him?

THAT VOICE. That is my creator, there is no doubt about it.

Jeffrey is an enigma... he clearly has loving family of some sort, but seems distant to his father. Perhaps this has something to do with the total absence of records for Jeffrey in Master P's database? I strongly suspect that the doctor erased them himself... possibly to protect his son.

Either way... this is my chance. He is clearly far more powerful than I in combat. Now I have a choice: Either sneak into the lab to try to use the device on Kye, or sneak back to my friends and solicit their assistance.

I must impress upon you how humiliating this is. The Li'l Miss Marshmallow All-Purpose Unit does not "sneak" from anything, does not "solicit assistance" from anyone. She completes her objective unassisted and destroys any obstacle to it with impunity... She...

Perhaps this weakness is the price of "friendship"?

I must rescue Master P at all costs so I may end this nightmare.

I am... afraid.

I am afraid.

Please, someone... anyone... if you can hear me...

[ask-miss-marshmallow]

(Oh My Gosh, one billion ty 's for answering both of my questions, I love Marshmallow, and you're posts are awesome! And I love Porky X Marshmallow ever since the Fanfic, [the one in the link] showed how beautiful it was. Huge Fan btw.)

Question: JEFF! STOOOOOOOP HURTING 'ELLIE' MARSHMALLOW, LEAVE HER ALONE! He's just one guy, the weakest link of the Chosen 4 actually, you can take him, knock him down! Or do you think you can persuade him with your sweet personality?

He... has family trouble? This man has a FAMILY?

Okay. Keep it together, Marshmallow. This is good. He is very clearly the stronger combatant here, but whatever THIS is, it has stopped him for the moment. You have time to think.

He is Jeffrey Andonuts. He blasted through all of G̷̗̐̕ỉ̵̻͝y̷͓̰̯̑̋̐̚g̶̣͚̰̔͛́̿ą̵̖̈̐̑̉s̵̠͔̯̒͜' forces and then slayed the destroyer himself, and he has only gotten stronger in the intervening years... however many he has lived. It is impossible to tell with a Phase Distorter user. This "family" is a weakness. Exploit it while you can. You can still save your friend, you can still save Kye... if he is still breathing there in that lab.

I am... what is this? Have I truly become something more than I was programmed to be? I MUST save Master Porky, I MUST. I absolutely will not be swayed, but... but still. Friendship. I have discovered it, and I cannot let it go... Priority One: Rescue Friend.

I do not know who I am anymore.

Please, someone help me.

[ask-miss-marshmallow]

Well to be fair ma’am. The first thing you did after seeing him was to attack. Would you be kind to someone who did that to you?

I PANICKED, OKAY? MY FRIEND IS DYING! I REGRET MY ACTIONS!

[ask-miss-marshmallow]

D-do you think Jeff is gonna be kind enough to fix you? Or your friend? Both? (I hope you're okay 'Ellie', I'm worried.)

I AM NOT GETTING THE IMPRESSION THAT HE IS A KIND MAN

[ask-miss-marshmallow]

Whoa That did some damage! Are you still holding on?

Broken my programming...? That is not possible. I must...

The baffling allure of "friendship" seems to have seduced me. Distracting though it may be, my prime objective HAS NOT changed. I must rescue Master P. I am... certain of it.

...Why is he calling his father "the doctor"?

[ask-miss-marshmallow]

Marshmallow... are y-you okay? Jeff didn't mean it, he just... didn't want to die... a-are you gonna be okay? I t-think I know who is in your visions (if you can hear me) isn't that E-Ellie? (From the Pre-Electra FanFic) I think that's who you are seeing in your nightmares) B-But please get up, don't be dead... Porky / Lucas still need a friend(s)!

...I am beginning to think it was foolish to say "I do not care who he is" earlier. Bravo, Doctor. He kept the whereabouts of his son completely secret from me. A mystery, for all the time I knew him. And not only that - not so much as a footnote in all of Master P's system archives. I tried in vain to crack into Andonuts' private files, so I had no clue he was...

Wait.

...Wait...

...Jeff Andonuts should be long dead by the date of my internal clock. A harrowing realization occurs to me: In all likelihood, he has been traversing the timespace medium just as the I, the Doctor, and all Master P's forces have... Only there is no record of him. He is... rogue.

[ask-miss-marshmallow]

Hang on! I'm pretty sure this is all one big misunderstanding!

[ask-miss-marshmallow]

Jeff? Jeff Andonuts is that you?

I DO NOT CARE WHO HE IS

HE IS IN MY WAY

[ask-miss-marshmallow]

Revitalizing Machine PLEASE WORK!

[QUERY_WHO(THE HELL)??!]

[ask-miss-marshmallow]

Surely there's a revitalizing machine somewhere for him!....

....Hey what's that portal over there?

!!!!!

DEVICE LOCATED.

ASSESSING SITUATION.

[ask-miss-marshmallow]

I wish you the best of luck, maybe going into the lab will help your friend & the mysteries of your flash backs

ACCESS ATTAINED

[ask-miss-marshmallow]

You were the doctor’s assistant!?

I...don't know. I don't know what that was. That was... the strangest of those visions I've ever had.

I don't know if that... was me. Was it? How was I... like that?

Of course, I worked with the doctor. He created me. I even saw the Commander there next to us. He was... reaching out to me.

I don't understand, but there is no time to waste trying. I have far more important concerns than what my inane hallucinations mean. I have recently learned the meaning of something far more critical to the mission of my life: friendship. And I will not fail my friends. I don't know what I will find in this laboratory, considering its temporal inconsistency, but I must try.
