I don`t own any characters, the ones I created are mine however.

In last episode: Mario and his friends started guarding the Archives; however Bowser started causing problems to a neighboring town, so they had to go battle him (and it was Toadror Junior!). During this time, the real Bowser battled the three allies and escaped with four documents…

Chapter 4: Hospital Explanations

"I`m really sorry, Mario," Peach said, "but this time you haven`t been doing well."

"I know Princess, but I have been trapped by a false Bowser! The others had to fight against the real Bowser… How could I know? The false one was identical to the real!"

"Sadly, Mario, Bowser escaped with some documents. I forgot to tell you that Toadror had placed a safety guard around the place: a force field that would prevent anyone with a document from escaping the place. Alas, Bowser destroyed the place, and thus destroyed the force field. Now he got some documents… the next weeks will be very difficult… We`ll have to wait for your friends to recover."

Princess Peach had only finished her sentence that Prof E. Gadd came running in the Hospital.

"Princess, I got a cure! It`s a concentrate of liquid 1-Up Mushroom combined with a Syrup, as well as a small heart. They drink just a little bit, and they`ll be back in shape."

Prof E. Gadd dropped a little bit of potion into Geno`s mouth (despite the doll supposedly being unable to drink) and Geno revived.

"Oh my… I feel like a tank has passed over me…"

"At least, you`re alive now…" Mario said, as E. Gadd was also reviving the others.

"We`re back!" Prince Peasley said. "That Bowser is really powerful… I doubt we have a tougher opponent in my kingdom."

"My friends," E. Gadd said, "What happened?"

"Bowser attacked us while we were guarding the Toadror Archives…"

When E. Gadd heard about Toadror, he started trembling.

"Toadror… I know him very well… he was crazy… I studied with him… He loved sciences, though he liked magic even more…"

"What do you know about him" Luigi asked.

"He was the official classifier of the Kingdom. Last time I saw him, it was a few minutes after his greatest mistake ever. When Bowser`s Troops had destroyed the Archives and Mario had beaten the turtle, everyone came back to normal (since I am human, I wasn`t transformed, so my job was to find a cure). He saw how messed up were the Archives, and this drove him mad. It had taken him almost a hundred year to accomplish (he used dark magic to increase his longevity), and this destruction was one too many drop into the ocean, even though I`m sure it`s not the right expression. Whatever, friends, he used everything he had left of dark magic and rebuilt entirely the place, with the archives placing themselves back on the shelves, and then the big Mushroom house grew bigger to welcome more place. He entered to read a document about a simple Goomba, but when he opened it, the Goomba was teleported to him! Understanding that this place was dangerous, he put a safety guard around it, a force field preventing any closed document to escape. And then he ran away. I heard he got a wife once, and a son, but I`ve never seen them."

"That was a big story, Professor." Princess Peach said. "However, documents have escaped, thanks to Bowser, and they reunite the greatest threats we`ve seen so far."

During this time, far away from there…

"My head… it hurts… last time I felt this, it was many years ago..."

An old Toad with a black mushroom over his head sat on a rocking chair. He has a very long beard and looked truly old – older than a grandpa.

"Last time it happened, the Archives had been destroyed… I can sense it… Terrible times are approaching. I must find Mario. I, Toadror the Great, will leave for the Mushroom Kingdom…"

However, in Bowser`s Castle, everything was getting ready.

"Junior, you`ll open one of these three documents, I`ll open another one. The last one will be kept… for later."

"And the fourth one?"

"I`m just keeping a little surprise for Mario. Trust me; his smallest fear will become his greatest fear in no time!"

Bowser opened the document about the Elder Princess Shroob while Junior opened the Living Cackletta one. And soon, the two monsters appeared on the floor of the castle.

"Cackle… what am I doing here? I died some years ago!"

"Groumpf! I never thought `d see you again, Bowser!" the monstrous alien said.

"Me neither," Bowser admitted. "After all, in each adventure in which you appeared, you had been destroyed forever. However I found a way to summon you back to life, and now we`ll finally take our revenge on Mario!"

"We are only three, that won`t be enough," the Shroob pointed out.

"Trust me, we`ll be more than you think. Because I also plan on summoning the biggest threat the Bros have ever faced – I had to help them getting rid of it!"

"Bowser, can I talk to you for a second?" Toadror Junior said. Bowser followed him, and Junior told what he knew. "I have scanned their minds. They`re evil. And they`re really dangerous too, more than you in fact. Seriously, you should be careful. And I fear Smithy isn`t trustable neither."

"Whatever, I will try this. Just, I dunno, brainwash them so they`re under my control."

"I cannot do that, I`m not this powerful! My father, but I haven`t seen him since so long!"

"Whatever, why do you allied to me then?"

"For two reasons: At first, I want to find my father by roaming the entire Kingdom, and the second reason is fairly simple: Killing the one who exiled my father and this person turns out to be Mario…"

In next chapter: It`s a race against time. The Bowser Team tries to find Toadror the Great, the Mario team as well, and Toadror tries to find the Mario team. However, the Bowser team is soon going to e broken off due to selfishness from the members…
