GBAToad regains consciousness in the emergency ward of the Bandit Hospital. Shocked, he realizes that something has happened. He rolls over and sits up to look outside his room's open window. There was no conflict raging outside. He observes Bandit Town square and notices the convenience store parked in a ditch, many trees were crushed, and the state of the land was in dismay. Everyone had fled, meaning those he believed to be his allies were long gone. The throne had obviously been relocated. How long had it been since he was tendering Bowser45's wounds? He glances down at his legs. The arrow was gone, though there was a visible scar running down his thigh. With a heavy sigh, he rolls back over in bed. "They left me."
"
You had blacked out, what else could they do?" his conscious nags him.
His Game Boy Advance mushroom cap was sitting on a chair on the other end of the room next to a fresh issue of The 'Shroom, his weapon straddled over the right side of the wooden seat. A few colorful balloons float peacefully in the corner of the room next to a laundry basket. Bored, he sits up and limps over to the chair. He grabs The 'Shroom, puts his cap on his head and begins reading.
THRONE!
Throne throne throne throne throne throne throne throne throne throne throne throne throne throne throne throne....
Disgusted, GBAToad crumples up the paper and throws it out his window. Even The 'Shroom had the madness. He gazes back out the window and sees Bowserpedia town, with the mysterious cloud looming over it. He notices The 'Shroom HQ's neon sign flashing very faintly.
His mind clicks. Unless Tucayo was occupied with something else, there was no way he'd let such an article be published. He had to make his way to The 'Shroom Headquarters to find out what was going on. There was no way the hospital would discharge him looking like this, so he digs through the laundry basket for a disguise, and finds a complete doctor's outfit. He covers his face with the mask, dawns the head mirror and stethoscope, and throws on the doctors coat and pants over his patient gown. Grabbing a few needles loaded with general anaesthetic, he rushes out the door with his weapon and runs down the hallway. Toad nurses give him strange looks as he rushes into the elevator and mashes the Lobby button.
