## Synopsis

### Part 1 :

The judge begins the story by declaring Deep Leffen free to go and exempt of all charges. Deep Leffen's parents are relieved until the judge corrects himself, for he mistoke Deep Leffen for Mang0. Deep Leffen reminds him of a mnemonic device to remember Mang0 by: **S.M.A.S.H:**

* **S -** Schmovement
* **M -** Mang0 "That's the man, officer"
* **H -** Hard Body
* **A -**
* **X -**
* **SH -** Shitty Hair
* **H -** Handsomeness (character is debatable)
* **D -** Very big dong (girth is debatable)

The judge and Deep Leffen remark on the mnemonic's simplicity before the hearings proceed.

### Part 2

It is revealed that the date of the proceedings is August 14th, 2019. Deep Leffen is charged for the following:

* Three (3) counts of child gaming
* Two (2) counts of murder
* Two (2) counts of threatening to "unleash my final form"
* Five (5) counts of "super assault"
* Four (4) counts of terrorism
* One (1) count of "actually that was kind of sick" and "you want a taste of this, cowboy?"
* Four (4) counts of "100% he completely deserved it"
* Two (2) counts of "this guy, but with swords, what do you think about that?"
* One (1) count of jayrunning

The death penalty is mentioned. Mr. Bennington, the father of the murder victim, cries in the defense of Deep Leffen before being told to be quiet by the judge.

 Armada tries to prepare Deep Leffen with some thought-provoking poetry. As the jury enters, HBox calls his first witness to the stand as the prosecution: Robert "Magic Myles" Myles aka Code name: "Super Massive Black Hole".

### Part 3

Robert Myles reveals that Deep Leffen has been generally good to him. Deep Leffen has let him eat out his trashcan, would let him onto his boat to teach him "life lessons" in water, and would visit him in the forest after being abandoned by his family. After being questions about HBox's erection, he later goes to indicate his friendship and brotherly love for Deep Leffen is a lie. HBox, who is excited by catching the witness in a lie, pops off, killing 2 jurors instantly. HBox proceeds to ask Robert what he meant by "life lessons."

### Part 4

Robert reveals that the "life lesson" in question is to breathe underwater for six straight days while keeping his butt clenched. This was to prevent ghosts from entering his butthole from the dark void of the water in the pursuit of becoming a capital F fighter. Deep Leffen is gleeful to hear that he managed to survive the seemingly impossible training, but is later angered when Robert reveals that he did not learn a damn thing from the exercise. After Robert is taken away, Armada informs Deep Leffen that he thinks their case is not going well before calling on their own witness. Deep Leffen is still hopeful however and believes in Armada's lawyering skills.

### Part 5

Armada calls on Edward, aka code name "dj!". Edward enters to the fresh sound of the most hype song ever made: "Baby Shark" (Back Street Boys cover). After asserting that he has never seen Myles when questioned, Edward contradicts himself with a detailed account of how Deep Leffen's relationship to Myles' and his parents. While Armada is able to convince the courtroom and HBox of his innocence, the judge does not falter in his decision to eventually jail Deep Leffen. Just as it is thought to be over, Mang0 barges into the court room.

### Part 6

Mang0 enters the court room with swagger and stank before being immediately questioned by HBox, who seemingly has a hard time discerning any useful information from the cool and collected Mang0. Mang0 manages to frustrate, demean, and even low key assault HBox and get away with it. Mang0 then confesses that he went to confront Deep Leffen in New Hampshire to ask if he could end his career, feeling that he has accomplished all he can and can no longer reach higher. During his testimony, Deep Mang0 begins to get emotional before the judge adjourns the court for a five minute recess.
 Armada approaches Mang0 and offers him some words of inspiration, causing Mang0 to weep in Armada's arms.

### Part 7

The hearing resumes, and Mang0 pleads guilty. However, he gives a passionate statement about his journey through smash. Despite doing regrettable things, he has never quit the fight in the pursuit of perfection being the best at smash. The judge deems that he has shown sufficient remorse and dismisses all charges (namely "grand theft smash") against Mang0. The courtroom erupts in applause, fully erect. The judge shares several last words with Mang0 before returning to Deep Leffen's case.

### Part 8

HBox then calls Hugs to the stand as a witness with the code name "slippery tip". A complete mess upon entrance, the prosecution decides to loosen him up with a few shots of (presumably top-shelf) vodka. When questioned, Hugs reveals that we was at home masturbating at his computer during the murder of Mrs. Bennington. At the time, he was stroking it to the Joe Rogan podcast featuring Elon Musk. He later contradicts himself and claims that he caught Deep Leffen in the act of murdering Mrs. Bennington. To examine his credibility, HBox asks him some basic questions. Hugs, who seemingly suffers from a form of dementia due to old age, thinks he is here to face Deep Leffen in pools of a smash tournament, and that Frankie D. Final Answer is the current President of the United States. After deciding that this witness is not credible, HBox signals for Hugs to be taken away and put to death in the lethal injection room.

## Part 9

 Armada calls  Mew2King to the stand as a witness with the code name "AssBl4st3r5000". After expressing the magnitude of his intellect, he gives a precise report of his capabilities as a witness while the rest of the courtroom masturbate to his own greatness. While claiming to be the ultimate lifeform and witness in this scenario, he imparts important insight onto the GOAT debate of Super Smash Brothers Melee as well as ones' own projection of themselves as they go through life.

## Part 10 Cite error: Invalid `<ref>` tag; invalid names, e.g. too many

 Mew2king further asserts his credibility as a witness despite  Armada's questioning. Eventually,  Armada admits that what  Mew2king says could very possibly be credible.  Mew2king ends his testimony by telling a very complex joke to the jury. The joke appears to be effective enough to invoke an existential element of the trial proceedings.

## Analysis

### Court Proceedings in the DLAU

Court proceedings in the Deep Leffen Alternative Universe are clearly more complicated and less coherent than in real life. For example, each witness is called upon using code names. Moreover, witnesses can be charged as part of the same case as the original defendant. Even witnesses that do not have any (apparent) charges can be punished by death, as we see in the case of Hugs.

The passages that include Robert "Magic Myles" Myles are particularly interesting. Other tweets are told from the perspective of a character who frequents the forest and interacts with garbage  . Some theorists suspect that some of the narration in Deep Leffen Lore is from the perspective of Robert Myles due to this connection.
