Not As They Seem

An SML Fanbase Horror Story

Fanbase's, aren't they amazing? They seem like an awesome thing, don't they? A place where you can go to let your imagination run wild, create your own fanart of various cartoon characters and fanfictions in the like, and even make new friends online. Well, I used to believe that... until I learned just how evil certain groups of people on these fanbases can really be, and I learned this in the worst possible way imaginable. I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, so I'll just start with an introduction. I'm a 20-year old college student by the name of Casey Green, and I currently live in the state of Oregon with my parents and three year old sister named Mina. I'm also a huge fan of the Gravity Fall's and Star Vs The Forces of Evil series, though I used to be a fan of the popular youtube series known as SML, or Super Mario Logan. However, I am no longer associated with that fanbase, nor any other fanbase for that matter. Why is that you might be asking? Well, it's a long story, so I'll start from the top.

Approximately ten years ago in 2009, back when I was still only ten years old, I stumbled across the SML channel by chance while browsing for various funny video's. The very first one I clicked on in Logan's channel was "Mario and Luigi's Stupid and Dumb Adventures, Ep. 1", and after watching it, I was immediately hooked to the SML channel and subscribed instantly after the video ended. All of Logan's video's starring Cody the wizard koopa, Joseph the Koopa Troopa, and Bowser Jr. were awesome and funny as well, but the Mario and Luigi series were amongst my favorite and really inspired me to become a Youtuber like Logan himself. Over the years, my love for SML continued to grow, and five years later in 2014, I had started my own Youtube channel under the name "StormRunner SG-1". However, 2014 was also the year that Logan had killed off Mario's brother Luigi in the show since the voice actor who voiced Luigi named Zeke was moving away out of state, and Logan couldn't find anyone else to replace Luigi's voice actor. As a result of this, Logan ended up losing a heavy amount of subscribers since Luigi was a big favorite on the show, but I stayed subscribed despite this event.

I was really bummed when Luigi was killed off since he had been my favorite character in the SML show, and even more bummed when all future video's of the SML channel were mostly just reused idea's from some of Logan's older video's. The channel had really taken a huge blow due to the death of Luigi, and it wasn't until 2016 that Logan's channel finally started to recover after introducing Jeffy into the show. Jeffy in my opinion was a very weird oddball of a character due to having a severe case of autism, down syndrome, Asperger's, and a few other mental disorders as well. However, I tried deluding myself in hopes that Jeffy would be an awesome new addition to the show and maybe even a lot like Luigi; boy, was I wrong! Jeffy was not only an annoying character due to his multiple mental disorders, but was also a  very  foul mouthed brat who used a lot of unnecessary swear words (including the "F" word) in the show, and also used a lot of very racist, sexual, and perverted dialect for the sake of humor. The first two video's starring Jeffy were fine and had none of this, but as more and more video's of Jeffy were made, he got progressively worse.

Eventually, Logan ended up getting his channel demonitized for a whole year due to all of the nasty content in his video's starring Jeffy, and his channel even ended up on the News because of all the commotion it had caused to the public. Because of how bad Logan's channel had become, I eventually unsubscribed from it, but it wasn't just his channel that I now hated. What really disgusted me the most was the Jeffy fanbase. Unlike the Gravity Falls and Star Vs The Forces of Evil fanbases that I loved, this one was as toxic as toxic can be. The Jeffy fanbase consisted of mostly toxic internet trolls, cyber bullies, and very sick minded individuals who would do everything they possibly could to make other people who spoke out against Jeffy completely miserable. I ended up getting a lot of hate on my own channel from such individuals which prompted me to unsubscribe from SML entirely, and as well to block the cyber bullies harassing me. I still got the occasional toxic troll's on my channel, but thankfully, I ignored them and blocked them, and they left me alone afterwards.

By 2017, I had over 1'500 subscribers on my channel and my monotization status was excellent. My channel mostly consisted of fan stories centered around Gravity Falls, Star Vs The Forces of Evil, and The Loud House. I also did a few SML/Gravity Falls crossover fan stories involving Mario and Luigi going on various adventures with the Pine Twins, and many of my fans enjoyed them, though I did have a few toxic Jeffy fans chastising me from time to time about why Jeffy wasn't included in those stories. They'd often make death threats towards me if I refused to add Jeffy into the crossover stories, but I knew that those threats were mostly empty threats as many of my own fans told me, so I just ignored them and blocked them; I honestly hated the Jeffy fanbase because of all that. While I admit that the Gravity Falls, Star Vs The Forces of Evil, and The Loud House have a toxic side to them like any other cartoon fanbase, none of them were as bad as the Jeffy fanbase, yet some would agree that the Steven Universe fanbase was just as bad due to the fact that some of the toxic fans on that fanbase nearly drove one of the writers on the show to suicide with their threats.

Yeah, fanbases are quite fun, but they all have their dark sides. I knew that some of those toxic fans out there often went to the extreme for reasons I can't explain, but I had no idea just how sinister some fans could truly be... until that one incident two months ago in June of 2019. Now that I've gotten all that out of the way, here's where the real story officially begins. It was around the middle of June when the incident occurred, and it was an event that would forever scar me and change my life and the lives of my family forever. On the night of June 13, approximately three months ago, I was doing a livestream on Youtube with my fans after uploading a new SML/Star Vs The Forces of Evil crossover story on my channel, and everyone in the chat section was talking about their day and how much they enjoyed my content, and some of them even donated a few bucks to my channel using the super chat option. One of my favorite Youtubers in the chat was someone by the username, " Super Star Butterfly ", and he (or she) had just donated $50.00 to my channel along with a comment saying that I was an amazing writer and that they hoped I'd finally reach 20,000 subscribers; I currently had 19,500 subscribers at the time.

"Thank's for the fifty bucks, Star. Your awesome" I said as I gazed at the chat section on the left side of my computer screen.

Super Star Butterfly replied in the chat section with, "Glad I could be of service. You're video's are always the best".

"Yeah, and you helped me with most of the ideas, so I gotta give you credit too" I said into the microphone.

Super Star Butterfly replied back with a smiling emoji and a few other of my fans offered their story ideas to me and a few of them requested that I narrate some of their stories. One of my other fans with the username, " AvengerPines017 " sent me a Gravity Falls fan story to my gmail and requested I narrate it on my channel.

"Sure, I'll give it a go" I said with a nod.

Afterwards, I began asking my fans if they liked the idea for my new fan story called "Lucy Loud Vs Demon Jeffy", which was a funny troll story involving Lucy Loud facing an evil demon twin of Jeffy that she accidentally summons from Hell after a ritual summoning spell of hers goes wrong. When they all responded with "yes" and with happy face emoji's, I asked if they wanted me to narrate it on the livestream, which they happily agreed to. About ten minutes later, I finished narrating the story on the stream and all of my fans were absolutely amazed. They all responded with heart eye emoji's and different comments about the story, saying things like, "that was so funny", and "Jeffy really deserved what he got".

"Wow, so you guys really liked it" I said.

Everyone continued giving me positive remarks and donated a few bucks to my channel, and that's when I noticed something in the chat section, or rather... someone; it was another user by the username of " Death's Head 666 ". Their profile picture was of the evil Nazi doctor named William "Death's Head" Struess from  Wolfenstein: The New Order. This username seemed pretty dark, but then again, I've seen many others come into my chat in past streams with names much darker and sicker than this, so I shrugged it off. However, what this user said caught me a bit off guard, but my fans didn't seem to notice it quite yet.

Death's Head 666 said, "Who the Hell do you think you are, mocking Jeffy like that, you filthy piece of shit?!".

Now I found that comment to be rather rude and offensive, and seeing that comment give me the vibe that this person was most likely one a toxic SML and Jeffy fan who hated other people that spoke out against Jeffy. As I had mentioned before, I had dealt with many toxic trolls in the past, so I knew just how to handle them.

"Okay Death's Head, for one, I'm not mocking Jeffy. And two, there's no reason to get nasty over a fan story. If you don't like my story, I'll understand. We're all entitled to our own opinions" I said casually and calmly.

About ten seconds later, Death's Head responded with, "Get rid of that story! It's a complete mockery to Jeffy!".

I responded back with, "Sorry, buddie, but my fans all enjoyed it, so that's not gonna happen".

What Death's Head said next in the chat really ticked me off.

Death's Head said, "You and your fans can all go fuck themselves and drown in a sewage tank! You mocked Jeffy, our lord and savior!".

Okay, this was going way too far, and it was getting weird. Death's Head had called Jeffy their, "Lord and Savior" as if he were a God to them. I honestly wanted to laugh at the idea of that, given that this toxic troll was raging over a puppet.

"Dude, Jeffy's a puppet, not some God" I said, smirking.

What Death's Head said next really got me frustrated and a bit angry.

They said, "HOW DARE YOU MOCK OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, YOU LITTLE SHIT! APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW! HE IS OUR GOD, AND OUR SAVIOR, AND YOU DARE DENY THAT?!".

Finally having enough, I said, "Okay, I've had enough, pal! I can't let you stay in the chat if your gonna keep doing this, so you leave me no other choice".

I hid Death's Head 666 from the chat and blocked them from my channel, and I felt relieved. My other fans started posting thanks to me for blocking them and that Death's Head was really getting on their nerves.

"Yeah, those toxic trolls are probably doing it just for attention. If they do that, just block them, and they'll most likely leave you be" I said with a sigh of relief.

After that little charade, I continued chatting with my fans about their ideas and my ideas for new fan art and stories. However, about five minutes later, I noticed a new user with no profile image enter the chat with the username, " Death Shadow 666 ", and what they said made me a bit edgy.

They said, "Why did you block me?! I wasn't finished with you! Now apologize for mocking Jeffy and get rid of that story!".

I instantly realized that this person was none other than Death's Head 666, only they had created other user profile since I had blocked the other one. Now I found this to be a bit odd since most of the toxic trolls I dealt with in the past usually didn't ever bother me again once I blocked them, but this troll was obviously different than those trolls had been, because he or she had made a new profile just so they could come back and bother me and my other fans in the chat.

Frustrated, I said, "Hey, why are you back here, Death's Head?! Get off my channel and stop bothering me, or I'll block this new profile of your as well".

Death's Head was obviously enraged because they responded with, "You block me again, and you'll regret it!".

Now I was angry, and so were my other fans. They were all telling Death's Head to leave the chat and stop bother me and them, or they'd report them, and one of my moderators under the username "Captain Mabel" timed him out for 300 seconds. I thanked her for doing that and also advised my other fans to keep an eye out for Death's Head once their timeout ended, but not to block them unless I said so. They agreed and we all continued chatting. Once Death's Head's timeout ended however, they starting raging in the chat again and began threatening to flag my channel and have it taken down if they got timed out again. I finally lost it and decided to take action. I began taking screenshots of all the nasty comments Death's Head had posted in the chat, then I told them to leave my channel or I'd block them. What Death's Head said next however made my spine tingle.

Death's Head said, "I wouldn't do that if I were you, Casey Green. That is, if you value your life".

As soon as I saw my full name and not my Youtube channel name appear in the chat, I was completely on edge.

"Excuse me?!" I said, completely shocked.

"That's right, Casey. I know who you are, and I know where you live, and I also know who your relatives and friends are as well. I also know where they live as well, and unless you want them to die a horrible death, you better not even think about blocking me again, and you'd better apologize for mocking Jeffy as well" Death's Head's reply in the chat section said.

As soon as they did that, I saw the full names of my family members, friends and relatives appear in the chat, along with their addresses and personal info; my address and personal info was also there as well. I was now beginning to panic as I now realized that this was no ordinary toxic troll. It was clear that this person was most likely a hacker or possibly even a cyber criminal, and they were definitely people you do not want to mess with. My fans were now beginning to panic as well and told me that I needed to contact the police, but like an idiot, I didn't. Instead, I took several more screenshots and then warned Death's Head that if they ever tried to threaten me again or come onto my channel, I'd go to the police. In hindsight, I should have called the police right there and then, and then I might have been able to prevent the horrible events that were soon to come. However, at the time, I was an arrogant person who didn't actually believe that this person would do anything harsh like they had threatened to do in the chat.

But the fact that they had all of my personal info and the personal info of my friends and relatives should have been an invitation for me to go to the police since they were clearly something more than just a toxic internet troll. However, I also speculated that maybe this Death's Head person might have been someone I knew in collage since I had met a few students there who really liked Jeffy, and then I remembered a big guy named Wilbur Nate who was the captain of the collage football team, and he was a huge Jeffy fan as well as a big bully. He would always mock and threaten other students if they spoke trash about Jeffy, and he sometimes made threats to me as well, but never really went through with his threats for some reason. If I had to guess, it was probably because he didn't want to damage his perfect reputation, or maybe for other reasons I didn't know of.

I then wondered if maybe Death's Head had been Wilbur all along and he had only been saying those horrible things to mess with me, but if that had been the case, how did he obtain all this info on me, my family, friends, and relatives? Had Wilbur been stalking me? Had he somehow followed me unnoticed? Had Wilbur somehow hacked my computer to obtain this information? I wasn't sure if that was the case since Wilbur wasn't very good with computers, let alone hacking skills. It was all speculation, yet I found myself growing more worried with each passing second and decided to just report Death's Head to Youtube themselves. I did just that and then blocked Death's Head's new user profile, hoping Youtube would take care of the problem; what an idiot I was.

After blocking Death's Head, my other fans urged me to call the police and that this was a very serious situation, but I assured them that I had it under control and told them that if things got any worse, I'd notify the police. After a few more minutes of chatting, I ended the stream since I had been streaming for about an hour now, then I headed downstairs to get myself some dinner. My parents were working late tonight, so I'd have the house to myself for the time being. I ordered domino's pizza for myself and decided to watch some new episodes of The Loud House while I waited for the pizza to arrive. Once my pizza arrived, I brought it into the living room and began to chow down, enjoying The Loud House episode I was currently watching. About an hour later around 10:00 PM, I began to grow tired and headed off to bed, trying to forget about that whole Death's Head incident.

The next two days were normal and I didn't hear anything from that toxic hacker troll Death's Head again, so I pretty much assumed he or she had only been trying to scare me into exceeding their demands, or so I thought. Once I headed home from my two art classes, I received a text from an unknown number, and what it said make my heart skip a beat.

The message read, " You shouldn't have blocked me again, Casey; now your going to regret it. You have one hour to apologize to our lord and savior, Jeffy, and you will also pay me an apology fee of $5'000 dollars in addition to that. Fail to do this in one hour, and you'll start losing members of your family. Oh, and if you call the cops, I will know about it. Your home phones and cell phones are being monitored by me and my boys. You call the cops, you and your whole family dies, and then your friends and relatives will die as well. And let me assure you that I will make sure they all die a very slow and excruciating death, so you better keep your mouth shut if you know what's good for you and your family".

At this point, I knew that I couldn't keep quiet about this any longer. It was clear now that these individuals were more than just toxic trolls; they had to be cyber criminals. I wasn't sure if that part about my home phones and cell phone being hacked was just a gig to get me to keep quiet, but given the fact that this psycho had all of my family and friends personal info, I couldn't deny that being a possibility. Not wanting to risk it, I decided to drive over to the police in my 2018 Toyota Corolla and inform them of the situation. I also took my laptop with me so that the police could inspect it for evidence as it became clear to me that this Death's Head person clearly hacked it somehow.

Once I arrived at the station, I explained everything that had happened two nights ago to the police and showed them the screenshots of Death's Head 666's nasty and threatening messages, and I also showed them the text message on my phone. Seeing how serious this was, the officers did a full scan of my laptop and my phone, then they went onto YouTube to search for Death's Head's channel along with the new one they had made when I blocked the first one. Unfortunately, both channels had been deleted, and the text message I had received was untraceable. However, when the police checked my phone and laptop, they found a malware virus embedded into the internal software of them both and tried to trace the origins of where the virus had been sent from.

Unfortunately, the virus was completely untraceable and the cops told me that they had no way of locating Death's Head 666. I asked the police how this virus had gotten on my laptop in the first place since my laptops McAfee security was fully operational, then they told me that whoever sent the virus had engineered it in a way that would allow them to bypass all of my laptops security programs. This virus was apparently a trojan horse that had allowed Death's Head 666 to hack into my laptop and obtain all my personal info and the personal info of my friends and relatives. As I write this, I know how Death's Head really hacked me, but I'll get to that later.

The police told me that they'd need to perform a full format of my phone and laptop in order to get rid of the virus, then they said they'd send a few cop cars out to my house and to my friends and relatives house just in case this Death's Head person really planned to do something bad to them. The officers told me that this person was most likely a hacker and some toxic troll who was just doing these things to me in order to get me to do what they wanted, but due to how serious the messages in the livestream chat and the message on my phone were, they were convinced that this person was a threat and needed to be dealt with.

Once the formatting on my phone and laptop were complete, I changed my personal info and my parents, friends, and relatives were contacted and informed of the situation and told to change their personal info as well. As you can guess, my parents were not happy when I arrived home later on and scolded me for not being careful online, but I told them that I had no idea something like this would happen and said that hopefully the police would handle it. I ate alone in my room that night and went to bed, too afraid to touch my laptop. However, in the middle of the night around 4:00 AM, I felt myself being shaken violently by someone and then my bedroom light turned on which woke me up.

"Casey, get up! Get up, now!" someone practically yelled.

I turned my head groggily and saw my mom standing next to my bed shaking me rapidly, and then I noticed something that got my attention. My mom looked panicked, and her face and eyes were wet as if she had been crying, and upon closer inspection, I realized that my guess was correct.

Now fully awake, I asked, "What's going on? What's happening?".

"There's no time to explain. You need to get dressed right away and come with us to the police station" Mom answered in a very serious tone of voice.

Outside my room, I could hear my Dad beckoning my sister to get out of bed in the same panicked matter as my Mom.

"Mom, what the hell is going on? Why are you and Dad having a panic attack?" I asked worried as I got out of bed and began getting dressed.

"Just stop asking questions and do as your told! Like I said, we'll explain on our way to the police station" Mom snapped impatiently.

Once I was fully dressed in a pair of shorts, T-shirt, and slip on shoes, I followed Mom and Dad downstairs; Dad was carrying a still half asleep Mina in her My Little Pony PJ's. Once we got outside, I saw two unmarked green and blue Ford Fusion police cars parked near the red painted curb near our house with red and blue police lights flashing, then I grew worried. It was very obvious by this point that something bad had happened, and I desperately wanted answers. Once we were all in Dad's Toyota Venza, we pulled out of the driveway and the two unmarked patrol cars followed behind us.

"Mom, Dad, just what the hell is going on here? Why are there unmarked patrol cars behind us? Just what happened?!" I demanded, more impatient and worried than ever.

My parents were both silent for over a minute before my Mom finally spoke up, and what she said made my heart almost stop.

"It... it... it's your grandparents. The police called us earlier to inform us that they... that they... were murdered several hours ago" Mom answered between tears.

I nearly fainted when I heard those horrible words, but thankfully, my sister didn't hear them since she had fallen asleep in her seat which thankfully spared her from hearing the tragic news.

"W-what?! No... h-how did this happen?!" I gasped in horror, not knowing what to think.

"We don't know the details, but the police told us that they wanted you down at the station as well because they found something at the crime scene that apparently involves you" Dad replied, sounding on the verge of a breakdown.

"Involves me? How?" I asked, confused.

My Dad then said something that made my tension rise even more.

"Remember those threats you were getting from that online cyber crook? The police said that they found evidence at the scene of the murder that highly suggests it was them, and several witnesses said that the killer wasn't alone and that he and his accomplices were heavily armed. Because of that, they're sent those two unmarked cars to follow us in case the killers decide to come after us" Dad replied.

I felt as if I were losing my mind at this point and nearly broke down from taking all that in, but nothing could have prepared me for the horrors that awaited me and my parents at the police station. Once we arrived at the station, we were greeted by the police chief and two police detectives who took us inside to a small room where one of the detectives pulled out a file of evidence photos from a brief case that he had taken at the scene of my grandparents murder. The other detective said that most of them were far too graphic and disturbing to show us, but then said that one of the photos he had taken contained a piece of evidence that confirmed something horrifying; Death's Head 666 hadn't been bluffing. This was proved when the detectives showed me a crime scene photo of the inside of my grandparents house, and what I saw would haunt me forever. The photo showed the inside of my grandparent's bedroom which had blood splattered all over the bed and the walls, but what I saw on the wall above the bed nearly made me soil myself.

It was a message written in blood that read, " I warned you what would happen if you refused to pay me that $5'000 dollar apology fee, Casey. This is the price you pay for daring to defy us. Unless you want the rest of your family dead, you'd better apologize to our lord and savior Jeffy for insulting him and get us that money by tomorrow, or your all fucking dead, just like your dirty old grandparents here! Oh, and just so you know, they died a very slow and agonizing death! So you'd best not defy us again if you know what's good for you ".

Words couldn't begin to describe the horror and sorrow that I felt after reading that horrible message, and my parents seemed to share those very same emotions. All this time, I had thought that all those threats had just been bluffs like all the other toxic trolls had thrown at me so many times in the past, but I knew now that these psycho's were something much worse than that. The police and detectives began to explain what exactly went down at my grandparents house in full detail. About two hours ago, several witnesses in my grandparents neighborhood noticed a large black Mercedes Sprinter van with no license plates and completely tinted windows pull up near the side of my grandparents house, and then six heavily armed men exited the van wearing ski masks and black jumpsuits; each one of them had been seen carrying machine guns, machetes, and even gas powered chainsaws.

Once the masked men reached the front entrance to my grandparents house, their leader blasted the entire front door and entrance of the house to pieces with an RPG launcher, then they stormed into the house. The witnesses claimed that they heard gunshots and the sounds of a chainsaw from inside the house as they called cops to report what was happening. Once three cop cars arrived at the scene, the masked men were already heading back to their van when they got ambushed by the police. As you can guess, these psychos did not surrender on command, instead, they opened fire on the cops with machine guns and one of the masked thugs blasted one of the cop cars with their RPG launcher. Eventually, the masked thugs overpowered and killed all of the officers and fled the scene in their van. However, one of the thugs had been left behind with several bullets in his right leg, left knee, and left pelvic bone; he had not been able to retreat back to the van because of that.

Once police backup arrived, the masked thug was arrested and taken to the hospital to be treated for his injuries and to later be interrogated for information. When the police investigated the house, what they found was beyond horrifying. The bodies of my grandparents were found inside their bedroom hanging upside down from their legs on chains bolted into the ceiling and had been skinned alive and had their throats slit, as well as multiple bullet holes in their chests and shoulders, but that wasn't the worst part. The bodies had been sliced open from the crutch down to the neck and their internal organs had been spilled out all over the floor in a gruesome fashion, and their arms had been sawn off right at the shoulders. Apparently from what the Coroner had determined at the scene of the crime, those sick monsters had brutally tortured my grandparents for at least ten minutes and then murdered them by skinning them alive and slitting their throats.

My ended up running into the restroom to vomit along with my Dad, and Mina had thankfully stayed asleep throughout the whole explanation in a chair near the corner of the room, but I nearly lost my sanity after hearing the whole story. These sick bastards had just murdered my favorite grandparents, and for what? Just because they felt insulted from a troll story I made about some stupid puppet being the antagonist?! Never in my life did I ever think that a toxic fanbase would go this far, but I knew that these men were more than just toxic trolls. They were blood thirsty murderers, and possibly even cultists since they obviously viewed Jeffy as some God and Savior to them.

Nearly on the verge of a complete and total breakdown, I asked in a stammering voice, "W-where are the other killers?".

"We haven't been able to locate them yet, but we plan to interrogate the one suspect we captured at the scene, and hopefully we'll get some answers from him on the whereabouts of his other friends that escaped. However, until these men are caught, we'll be having your family stay in a nearby hotel, and we'll also notify your friends and other relatives about the situation" the police chief explained.

I had no words to describe the horror and sorrow that I was currently feeling at that moment. I had just lost two members of my family to some sick, murderous bastards who clearly hated anyone who spoke out against their so called "God", and I had no idea what to do now. I was now fully convinced that they'd be going after my friends and other relatives next once they eventually figured out that me and my family weren't home. Eventually, my parents returned from the restrooms, spirits nearly broken and full of sorrow. The police chief notified the two of them about having us stay in a hotel until the other murderers were found, and my parents agreed to the temporary accommodations. Once we arrived at the hotel under police escort by more unmarked police cars, we were checked into a room on the fifth floor and I cried myself to sleep in my hotel room out of sorrow and anger towards those murderous monsters. My grandparents had died a horrible, agonizing death, and I felt like it had all been my fault.

I felt foolish for not taking action right away and just calling the police during my livestream, and it had cost the lives of my grandparents. I wasn't able to sleep well at all due to all the stress weighing upon me, and neither did my parents. Mina didn't quite understand the severity of what had just happened since she was so young, so she was able to sleep just fine. I was woken up around 10:00 AM by my cellphone ringing and I picked it up, fearing it might have been my grandparents killers, but I was wrong; it was the police station. When I answered it, I was greeted by the police chief who told me to alert my family to come down to the police station at once; he had some good news to tell us.

Once we checked out of the hotel and arrived at the police station, we learned some new evidence gathered by the police, and some of it was rather disturbing. The police chief explained that he and a few other cops had managed to get the one member of that group of killers to give them the location to the killers hideout after constant duress, and he finally gave in and spilled his secrets. As it turned out, their hideout was about a mile away from my hometown at an abandoned apartment complex. Once the police obtained this piece of information, a police van and two armored S.W.A.T trucks containing ten heavily armed police soldiers headed out to the apartment complex where they ambushed the five murderers in their apartment house on the first floor. As you can guess, they put up a huge fight against the police and attacked them with military grade weapons, which included a gatling gun, grenade launcher, and machine guns. The killers ended up killing several S.W.A.T officers before all being overpowered by the remaining officers and shot dead, leaving only their leader alive, whom the officers tazered and took into custody.

Once the gang leader was in police custody, the police entered the apartment to investigate, and what they found inside the apartment house was horrifying. The Apartment house had a large living room adjoined with a small kitchen on the right side of the room, and to the far left of the room was a hallway lined with two doors on each side, and one single door straight ahead. The first door on the left side of the hall lead into a bathroom while the first one on the right lead into a small square bedroom with two large beds against the left wall, and a large closet near the far right side of the room containing several chests filled with illegal weapons, drugs, and even several homemade photo books containing horrid and obscene images of Jeffy fanart porn. There were also shelves bolted above each bed which had several candles on the left and right sides, and a Jeffy puppet in the center.

There were also several posters on the walls which showed photo shopped images of Jeffy in what looked like holy robes sitting upon a religious alter, and on the bottom of the posters were words written in gold lettering that read, " Jeffy will save us, Jeffy will forgive us for our sins ". As if that wasn't horrifying and creepy enough, what the police found in the next rooms on the left and right sides of the hall was even worse and more horrifying than the first one. The second room to the right of the long hall was a larger square bedroom with two beds like the first one, but instead of having shelves bolted into the walls, there was what appeared to be a small homemade shrine sitting on a small table next to the two beds with acolyte candles on each side of it and a Jeffy puppet in the center that had been dressed in holy robes like the ones seen on the Jeffy in the posters. Also, the closet contained more illegal military grade weapons and several flash drives which apparently contained homemade Jeffy porn video's made using Source Film Maker. There was also a drawer filled with various illegal drugs, which included date rape drugs, crystal meth, heroin, aphrodisiacs, and even hallucinogenics.

The other room on the left side of the hall was a bedroom that had been converted into a storage room, and what the police found in there was absolutely disgusting. Not only were there more stashes of illegal weapons and drugs, but there were also large hard copy books piled up neatly near the left side of the room which turned out to be homemade bibles. These bibles looked like any type of bible you'd find in a church, only these bibles were centered at Jeffy. As it turned out, these men had idolized Jeffy so much to the point where they went insane and actually created an entire religion based upon Jeffy himself, portraying him as humanities only hope of salvation into Heaven. There were also a few tapestry's hanging on the walls with religious paintings of Jeffy performing ritual's through very obscene methods that I don't want to describe due to them being so graphic, and another tapestry portrayed Jeffy beheading a man with a large sword for some unknown reason. There was even a pentagram drown on the wooden floor in the center of the room with burned out candles laying around it, along with messages written on the sides that said things like, " praise Jeffy, our one true God ", and " thy will be done in Jeffy's name ".

I was beyond shocked as I took in everything the police chief explained to me, and so did my parents. The fact that these crazy murderers made an entire religion out of a freaking puppet was beyond insane! I already knew at this point that these psychos were crazy Jeffy fanatics, but I had no idea that they were this crazy, idolizing Jeffy so much that they eventually ended up making a religion out of him. While I knew that every fan base had a toxic side to it, never in my life did I ever hear of any toxic fans making a religion out of a certain cartoon character, or any fan character for that matter. Hell, even the Steven Universe fan base didn't go this far. It was still toxic in many ways, but not as toxic as this. However, the worst was yet to come. Once the police finished gathering evidence in the storage room, they checked the last room at the end of the hall, and what they found in that room was probably one of the darkest, twisted, most messed up scenes that anyone could ever encounter. This room was a very large room, much larger than any other room in the apartment house that the police had investigated thus far.

It was a very large square room with various homemade religious artifacts modeled after Jeffy sitting on several tables up against the left and right side walls, along with several black ceremonial religious robes hanging on hooks in the wall and acolyte candle lighters. There was also a large alter in the very center of the room with a pentagram around it, and four large candelabra stands stood on each side of the alter with burned candles on it. The alter was covered in dried blood and had a sword laying upon it. On the far right side of the room on a large table was a desktop computer with a bunch of different equipment surrounding it, as well as a few laptops sitting next to it with a tripod and camera laying near a pile of flashdrives near the edge of the table; these were all confiscated as police evidence.

There was also one fact I almost forgot to mention. Before the police opened the door to this room, they had noticed a very foul odor coming from under the door, like something was rotting inside the room. Once the police entered the room, they discovered what the source of the horrible odor actually was. Laying in the far left corner of the room were four dead bodies with multiple stab wounds in the chest and gut, and they appeared to have been rotting for quite awhile; Flies and maggots covered the bodies, devouring them. The room also had two windows facing the door, and the glass on it was religious style stain glass idolizing Jeffy as a God and a prophet.

There was also writing on the walls that read the following messages, " In Jeffy's name, we offer the sinful souls of the world to thee who have soiled your name and insulted your greatness ", and " Ye' who soils the name of Jeffy shall be put to death ".

As if that wasn't bad enough, several more dead bodies were discovered in some of the other apartment houses, and they had all been identified as former Youtuber's and social media fans who had been reported missing for several months, and some of them had even been missing for at least a year. As it turned out, this group of psychotic Jeffy fans were actually bloodthirsty cultists who apparently did all these terrible things in the "name of Jeffy" as the captured cultist proclaimed to the police while under interrogation. This was beyond any form of insanity that I could imagine. These men were not only psychotic murderers and toxic Jeffy fans, but cultists who had created an entire religion centered around Jeffy, portraying and seeing him as some God and holy savior. And the fact that they'd go so far as to track down, kidnap, and murder anyone that spoke out against their beliefs or made fun of Jeffy in anyway was beyond insane.

What was even more insane was what the police found on the laptops and desktop computer, as well as the videos from the video camera stored on all the flashdrives they took from the apartment house. Upon investigation, the police found a bunch of illegal hacking and malware making programs installed on the computers, and the flash drives also contained a bunch of horrid snuff films of the cultists performing sacrificial rituals in the alter room. They would offer blood, prayers, and even human sacrifices to that stupid puppet, and anyone who spoke out against the Jeffy cults views or against Jeffy himself would become the cultists next victims. The cultists would also search everyday online for people who spoke insults and other nasty things about Jeffy, and then they'd use various IP Address hacking software to obtain their personal info, track them down, and then kidnap them. The cultists would then either brutally murder them, or bring them back to their apartments to be used as sacrifices in their horrid and demented rituals. These men would offer prayers and sacrifices to Jeffy as a form of worship, and their sacrificial victims would always be those who spoke out against Jeffy or had other "insulting" opinions towards him.

All of these snuff video's were of past rituals performed by these cultists, yet thankfully, I was spared from seeing them. After the whole explanation, the police chief said that we could now return home, and he also let me know that I'd need to show up in court to give my testimony to the judge as I had the screenshots from my livestream as evidence to be used against the cultist leader and his only remaining member. The next day, me and my parents appeared in the courthouse where I got my first look at my grandparents killers for the first time, and they looked hideous. The cult leader, who's name turned out to be Jared Jackson, was a 34 year old Hispanic guy who looked like he was the boss of a drug cartel. He had black Mohawk style hair and evil looking tattoos all over his arms, only most of them were of Jeffy portrayed in very obscene ways. His remaining cult member, who's name was Floyd Wiggins, wore the same biker style sleeveless black shirt which had a picture of Jeffy on it. He had spiky black hair and tattoos of Jeffy and several other nasty looking ones on his arms. They literally looked just like members of a blood thirsty street gang, and I felt my blood boil just looking at them.

These two monsters had been the ones that murdered my grandparents, and I wanted so badly to just strangle the two of them, though I knew that wouldn't solve anything. Once the trial began, the defendant's entered a plea of "not guilty", then prosecutor presented all of the evidence from the crime scene photos at my grandparents house, as well as all the evidence found at the abandoned apartment complex, and then there was the threatening screenshots from my livestream. Thankfully, due to the graphic nature of the photos, I was spared from seeing the horrible images of my grandparents dead bodies at the crime scene, but the prosecutor did describe in full graphic detail of what they had found, and it was horrible. Apparently, my grandparents had been beaten first, then skinned alive, shot, and then hung upside down on chains with their throats slit. When both Jared and Floyd were asked why they committed this horrible act, they both said that they were doing it to appease Jeffy's anger, then they also claimed that it was also because I had insulted Jeffy and he demanded blood for that. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and neither could the whole court room. These two men were absolutely insane! When the court showed the pictures of the threatening messages from my livestream chat to the two murderers, the judge asked if they were the ones who sent them.

Floyd responded with, "That little shit insulted our God, Jeffy!".

Jared said, "Damn right! Anyone who insults our lord and savior deserves it!".

Needless to say, everyone was shocked and horrified by their responses, including me and my parents. The two thugs then began ranting about how they were the victims here and that I was the real sinner for insulting Jeffy, which everyone knew was nothing more than absolute pig doo. The evidence was right there in front of everyone, and it said the complete opposite of what Floyd and Jared were saying. It had also been confirmed that Jared had been the one who had hacked into my computer using a malware virus that allowed him to access my personal info by obtaining my IP Address; how exactly he did it wasn't explained.

The rest of the trial is unimportant, so I skip on ahead to the end. After being found guilty for multiple counts of murder in the first degree, multiple counts of cop killings, torture, possession of illegal drugs and weapons though use of the dark web, and kidnapping, Floyd and Jared were sentenced to death by lethal injection. As the two crooks were dragged away to the prisoner transport bus to be transferred to the Texas Penitentiary in Texas where they'd be executed for their crimes, they actually started yelling for Jeffy to come and save them, to "deliver" them from the hands of evil.

About a week later back at home, I saw a news report that Floyd and Jared had been successfully executed and I felt a wave a satisfaction run through me, knowing that my grandparents souls and all the other innocent souls that had fallen victim to the hands of this evil Jeffy cult could finally be at peace. Although justice had been done however, the whole experience had forever changed me. I was never able to look at the SML fanbase the same way ever again, and never again would I ever have anything to do with SML or anything remotely related to SML. I had always heard the stories and warnings about how toxic the Jeffy fanbase truly was, and even the Shadow Reader had said once in one of his SML rant video's that blood would eventually be on Super Mario Logan's hands if he didn't do something about his toxic fans, and speculation had now become a reality. I had lost my grandparents to some sick, bloodthirsty murderers who had not only been toxic Jeffy fans, but also fanatics who had idolized Jeffy to the point of making an entire religion out of him.

After that whole experience, I unsubscribed from every SML channel on Youtube and also deleted all my fanfiction's containing SML material; I was done with that whole franchise forever. I even emailed SML and raged at Logan, telling him that blood was now on his hands, and it was all because of that damn Jeffy puppet of his and the fact that he refused to ever take a stand against his own toxic fanbase. Logan never emailed me back however, and I never expected him to. Even now as I write this a month after the whole tragic and horrible event, Logan still hasn't responded back to me. My whole family still hasn't recovered, and my parents also forbid me from ever joining any fanbase related to SML because of what had happened; like I'd ever do that after everything that happened with my grandparents. I'm still a fan of Star Vs the Forces of Evil, Gravity Falls, and The Loud House though, and I always will be.

I'm also still recovering from the horrible murder of my grandparents, and I'm also going to therapy because of it, but my Youtube fans are also helping me to recover as well. My moderator Captain Mabel even donated $300 to my channel as a get well soon gift to help me out. Hopefully overtime, I'll fully recover from this tragedy and move on, as will the rest of my family. I write this story as not just a means of closure for me, but also as a warning. If you ever decide to join the SML fanbase, or any other fanbase for that matter, understand what exactly your getting into. While you may attract many interesting fans and friends, some of them may not be who as they seem, and some of them may be so toxic and hateful towards others who don't share their point of view that they'll want you dead. They will do everything they can to ruin your life, and the lives of your friends, relatives, and family; I learned this the hard way. Before I sign off, I have this to say as well. Logan, if you ever hear my story, understand this.

All of us have been warning you and telling you that one of these days, blood would be on your hands if you didn't get rid of Jeffy, and now that revelation has become a horrible reality. You need to step up and be a man, Logan! You need to accept the fact that you may lose a lot of subscribers by getting rid of Jeffy the same way you did when killing off Mama Luigi several years ago, but understand that if you do finally step up to your toxic fans and get rid of Jeffy, you may very well prevent more unnecessary deaths from happening and prevent more sick Jeffy cults like the one that killed my grandparents from being created. Do what needs to be done, Logan! Do the whole world a favor and... GET RID OF JEFFY!
