-1The Mystery

Everybody stared at him. Then they looked at each other.

Yoshi: It must have been Wario! He's the most likely one to have done it!

Wario: What! I didn't do it! It had to have been Mario! He wanted revenge on Bowser Jr. for the Delifino incident!

Everyone kept fighting until DK grabbed everyone and held them back.

DK: That's enough! We aren't pointing fingers at anyone yet! Until we do, we'll just have to find out for ourselves.

Yoshi: You know, maybe none of us did it. Maybe one sold the code who was willing to pay, not knowing what they would have done with it.

Baby Luigi: Baby Wuigi don't think anyone will say they did it.

Yoshi: He's right. For now, let's interview Bowser Jr.'s siblings to see who they think had a motive.

They all nodded and headed over to Bowser's Castle. When they got there, they found all the kooplings in one room.

Iggy: What are all of you doing here?

Morton: Mario! Aren't you supposed to be racing with king dad and Jr.?

They all looked at each other and thought that they don't know yet. Everyone looked at Peach to explain since she was probably the only one of them they'd listen to.

Peach: Well….we were racing but…..there was a terrible accident…and your brother was in it. He was really bad when we saw him. The doctor says that all four of his limbs were broken, his shell was cracked open, he had third degree burns all over his body, had muscle damage in the neck, and a lot more. He also said….he also said that he only has a ten percent chance of survival….I'm sorry…

The kooplings stared at them, then, incredibly, they all broke out laughing.

Larry: Ha ha ha! Yeah right! But seriously, why are you here?

DK: That is why we're here, he's hurt really badly…

The Kooplings started to look uneasy.

Wendy: Th-this joke isn't funny anymore.

Peach: Were not joking. Your brother really is hurt, and we found out that the crash wasn't an accident…someone had planed it…and the only ones who had the information to do it were the other racers….

The kooplings stared at them in disbelief. Suddenly, Ludwig jumped on the couch and turned the TV on to the news. The anchorman was a koopa in a suit, with a car crash in the background.

Koopa:…as you can see, the crash here at the Mario Kart stadium was devastating to viewers and racers alike. We have reason to believe that all of the racers are safe except racer Bowser Jr. . Now to Linda on the Koopa prince's condition.

Linda: Thank you, Herb. As you can see behind me, Bowser Koopa Jr. is in bad shape. Doctors confirm that he only has a ten percent chance of recovery. Bowser, the Koopa king, is taking this harshly, he…

The kooplings stared in horror at the sight of their brother so badly hurt. Ludwig turned off the TV and wobbly sat down.

Ludwig: I can't believe it…..

The racers looked at how the other kooplings were taking it. Wendy was silently sobbing into Roy's shoulder, while Roy was trying his best to comfort her. Morton was looking wide eyed strait into the ground, shaking his head almost hypnotically. Lemmy and Iggy were gripping there chairs very tightly, breathing quickly. Larry was looking at them like he expected answers to this.

Larry: (whisper) Who planned this…

Diddy: Larry, we-

Larry: (yelling) I said who planed it! Which one of you hurt my brother!

The racers and kooplings cringed.

Peach: We don't know who did this. That's why were here, to find out if any of you might know a reason somebody did this…

Larry sat down apologetically. The other kooplings looked at each other.

Morton: Well…Believe it or not, Jr. didn't have very many enemies…well….enemies that would do this.

Ludwig: Since most of the townsfolk are afraid of us, we usually only make friends with those in the castle, like the guards. Jr. did make friends but he spent most of his time spying on the guards, maids, and cooks to find anything of interest or he'd paint outside…The only person he visited frequently outside the castle was that guy with the lab coat.

Yoshi: E. Gadd?

Roy: That was him! But……wait! There's Cackletta!

Lemmy: Of course! She would want revenge on Jr. for torturing her!

Luigi: How-a did he-a do that?

Larry: Well, one time Cackletta kidnapped Jr. for a ransom, actually, it was only about a week ago. Our car broke down trying to get him by an author named Bowser Jr. Nutt.

Daisy: Do you know where we could find him?

Morton: He's by the glue factory on I-35.

DK: Come on! Maybe he could help on this case!

They all rushed out except Daisy.

Daisy: Don't worry, your brother is strong, he'll make it.

Larry: (tearfully) Th-thanks…Now go! Catch that crook!

She nodded and ran out.

When they reached I-35, they saw the enormas glue factory looming over them. They entered and rang the bell. The same creepy man appeared form the counter just like he did to the kooplings and Bowser a little while back.

Arnold: Well, howdy! We haven't had visitors since those little turtle, guys!

Everyone looked at each other and thought that he must be talking about the kooplings.

Arnold: Well, come on in! The boss has been expecting you.

Koopa: How could he be expecting us?

Arnold seemed to have not heard the comment as he dragged them to the door marked "Da Boss" . They opened the door to find a man who's face was covered in shadow.

Bowser Jr. Nutt: Thank you, Arnold, I'd like a talk alone with our new guests.

Arnold: Sure thing, boss!

He left the room.

Bowser Jr. Nutt: I know why you have come. You have a possible suspect for the crash, yes?

Toad: But, how did you know?

Bowser Jr. Nutt: That doesn't matter.

He pulled out two buckets that were filled with what looked like regular glue.

Bowser Jr. Nutt: Do you know what these are?

Wario: Those are just buckets of paint.

Bowser Jr. Nutt: Wrong! This bucket contains some of my powerful Eulg formula and the other contains the antidote. Give this to Bowser Sr. and he'll know what to do.

Without a moments hesitation, they were ejected from the building.
