We now cut to the present.
Secret News Flash: For many years, these evil creatures have ruled over our world. Their power keeps growing, without any limitations. Their castle, which was once our beloved Princess Peach's, radiates darkness, dominance and power. Everyone, who encountered them or tried to resist them, got captured or killed. It is said that the captured ones tend to have a fate that's worse than death.
There have been many attempts to a resistance (to undo their might), but all have failed. Peace's return always seemed just beyond our reach.
Until now.
One of the remaining survivors - Professor E. Gadd - managed to invent a time machine! He succeeded thanks to his unique source of power: the Cobalt Star. With this time machine, it should be possible to travel to the past, to the time where the dark power of these creatures was at its weakest and prevent them from ever taking over our world.
The time machine will be tested today, at the survivors' secret base. Princess Peach has taken the initiative to test the time machine. She will travel to the past and then immediately return, which will prove that the time machine will be safe to use. She will be accompanied by two other survivors: Toadiko and Toadbert. Of course, the old Toadsworth is beside himself with worry. More details will follow soon.
________________________________________
Inside the secret base the time machine has just left. Toadsworth yells: "PRIIIIIINCESS! Please return, Your Majesty!" He is silent for a moment before he says: "I say... I am simply beside myself with worry!" Professor E. Gadd laughs: "Heh heh heh," after which he walks up to Toadsworth and says: "No need to worry yourself. My time machine's safe as can be. Why, there's a 99,999999999% chance the princess will return." This does not calm down Toadsworth at all, because he panics: "THE HORROR!" after which he passes out. Luigi and a Toad run up to him and the Toad screams: "Toadsworth! Wake up! Toadswooooorth!"
(Now, here is where the dialogue is going to be different compared to the original game. At this point, in the original game, another Toad would now say that Toadsworth KO'd himself and then ask Mario to go get a Refreshroom from Toadsworth's room. Instead, the dialogue is going as follows:) Another Toad starts to panic too and says: "I'm gonna go grab a Refreshroom!" after which he runs to another room. After a few seconds, the Toad returns, panicked. He says: "No no no! We're out of Refreshrooms!!!" The first Toad responds: "What?!? Are you serious?!?" "Yes!" the other Toad answers. The first Toad panics and whispers: "This can't be... not Toadsworth...." The second Toad starts to walk back and forth, desperately thinking about what to do.
Mario also tries to think and then has an idea. He tells everyone how, a few weeks ago, he and the second Toad were above ground, trying to move some important items from their old base to this one. They then got spotted by the Shroobs and were chased. They had to run, but the second Toad accidentally tripped and fell, causing his bag to tear open and a bunch of Refreshrooms to fall out. While Mario is telling this, the second Toad looks guilty, even though the others know what happened back then. Mario continues and says that the Refreshrooms got taken away by the Shroob Saucers to their castle. Maybe they are still there, and they can secretly snatch a few to save Toadsworth. Luigi jumps up and says that is a crazily dangerous plan. What if he got caught? He doesn't want to lose his brother. Mario comforts Luigi and says that they sadly don't have any other choice, Toadsworth's life is at risk. He volunteers to sneak into the castle and search for a Refreshroom.
The second Toad walks up to Mario and asks: "Are you absolutely sure about this, Mario?" Mario nods. Toad then says: "Alright then. But be very careful! Don't stay longer inside the castle than necessary and make sure that the enemies don't see you! They're incredibly strong. If they do see you, run away immediately!" Mario nods. Toad then asks: "How's your jumping been lately?" The game then asks you to press A once. You press A and Mario jumps high. Toad says: "Alright, that looks good to me. Good luck Mario."
You can now walk around and jump. You now have the option to look around the base to see the other rooms or leave the base to head to the castle. For now, you decide you leave the base, in search of a Refreshroom.

(Alright, this chapter definitely had more changes than the previous one! I'm going to be honest: I was a bit nervous to post this chapter, because of the several changes I made. I haven't made pictures of the secret base yet. Maybe I'll add those in the future, but I'm not sure yet. I hope you enjoyed this new chapter and if you have any tips for me, let me know!)
