Chapter 3
You're probably wondering, just who would do that to Mario and Luigi? Why would they want them gone? Well, first of all, the man, for it was a man, had nothing against them. He didn't even have a thing against plumbers. He just needed them gone.
The master pipe's clog was his doing. He wanted to back up all the water so that the pipes would burst. He needed the building to be flooded in order for his plan to succeed. You see, when the place flooded, everyone ran out in a panic. This gave him time to collect a few materials from the lab.
After he collected the materials, the rest of his plan was in motion. This man, he was a genius. I mean, he was so smart, he made his superiors look stupid. He went to his basement and created little gas bombs. Then, for ten years, he traveled the world, invisible to everyone around him, and planted gas bombs everywhere.
His plan was to "Purify" the world. He was to remotely detonate the bombs from his attic. He would then have to be quick in reaching the basement so he could freeze himself. This would have worked out fine if it hadn't been for his carelessness.
Everything was going according to plan. He would soon be able to turn himself into the only human. He was going to wait, though, for a hundred years. Give the earth some time to breathe. Anyway, as soon as he pushed the button, he saw the sky explode in a purple cloud. Covering his mouth, he ran all the way to his basement. He was almost home free when he tripped over a cord. He then proceeded to roll into his pet turtle and then, as if that wasn't enough (cruel fate), his pet lizard and then into the preset freezing chamber. The cord he tripped over had popped out of the freezing chamber, allowing gas to enter. Luckily, for him, the freezing process had already started, preserving his life, but, unfortunately, not his mind. The gas that entered then took its toll on his mind and body, mutating him with the turtle and lizard, over the course of a hundred years.
By now, you should have been able to guess who I was talking about. The CURRENT King of the Koopas, Bowser Koopa. His previous name is unknown.
