Mario used his rocket boosters and flew to Global Security. After he arrived outside the gate, he showed his ID and walked in.

Mario: Okay, what's going on?

Cryos: Master! Turbo! He's...

Mario: I know. I'm gonna get to the bottom of this. Where is he?

Cryos: He's in the med bay with Angel and Iron heart.

Mario: I see. (Walks to the med bay) ANGEL!!!!

Þųŕɓø: ŁƏÞ MĘ ĢŒ, ĢØÐ ÐÆMŊĮÞ!!!!!

Angel: No can do! (Gets a sedative) Sorry, Master! Can't talk!!!

Iron heart: Wait... MASTER!!!

Mario: What's going on?

Iron heart: He's becoming more and more aggressive.

Mario: Hmm... I think we should get a DNA test and then a data test from him.

Angel: Good idea, Master. But we need to calm him. (Sticks the sedative in his neck)

Þųŕɓø: ŲĢĤ!!!! ẀĤÆÞ ÞĤĘ ĤƏ--- Ŵĥæþ þĥę... (Falls asleep)

Mario: There. Now, let's get the tests in.

Angel: Right. (Takes another syringe and gets a blood sample) What about the data sample?

Mario: I'll scan his limbs.

Iron heart: Wait, I think it's from... (Takes his shirt off) This. (Shows a mechanical sphere with a tealish green glow in the middle, around his chest)

Mario: What is that?

Iron Heart: It's Turbos power core. It's how he's able to reconnect his limbs and how he can turn his arms into weapons, create weapons, and fly.

Mario: So, what's causing him to act like this?

Iron heart: I don't know. (Scans the power core) What's the cause, M.A.X?

M.A.X: It appears Turbos power core is infected with a computer virus. Since the core is connected to his limbs, it's causing him to be violent and attack us.

Mario: Wouldn't it make sense to try and resist the virus, though?

M.A.X: He did try, but the arms and power core are connected to a device around his neck and brain.

Mario: A neuro-transmitter.

M.A.X: Exactly. If we are to fix this, we're gonna have to go into the power core and stop the virus.

Mario: Hmm... I can take the core off and purify it.

M.A.X: I'm afraid doing so would shut down the limbs and do critical harm to or kill Turbo.

Mario: Oh... Then, we can turn off the core, then turn it on again.

M.A.X: That would also result in death.

Mario: Well, what else can we do?! Shrink ourselves down, enter a tiny spaceship, and fix the core from the inside?!

The others: 0_0... 😃💡

Mario: Wait... We're going with that idea, aren't we?

Rae: Yep. And we know how. Follow me.

The others followed Rae to the machine she and Iron heart built.

Rae: Okay, guys. This will possibly help us save Turbo. I present... (reveals) The shrink machine!!!

Mario: Woah! This is amazing, Rae.

Rae: Thanks. Molly and I built it as a way to explore the micro verse.

Mario: Nice. Well, using this, we can shrink ourselves down and enter the power core.

Rae: Yep. We better hurry, though. Turbo has only 57% control on his robotic parts left.

Mario: Right. Wait, how are we gonna enter?

Iron heart: Gotcha covered. (Shows a global security space-jet)

Mario: Woah!!!!

Iron heart: Yep. Cecil let me reconstruct the jet for micro travel.

Mario: I see. Well, let's get to it.

Cecil: Hold it. (Holds several space versions of their suits) You'll need to wear these. (Hands them the suits)

Mario: Thanks.

Mario, Rae, and Iron heart put their spacesuits on and enter the ship.

Reptile: Wait!!! (Comes in with his own spacesuit)

Mario: Reptile? What are you doing?

Reptile: You guys are gonna need someone who can help move through debris or something. That, and I want to protect my sister.

Mario: Understandable. Okay, hop in.

Reptile: (does so).

Mario: Here we go.

Rae: Right. Hit it, Cecil!!!

Cecil: (Turns the machine on and Shrinks them to quantum size) Alright, team, you know what to do. Good luck.

Mario: Thanks, Cecil. (Flys the jet into the power core) Hang on, Turbo. We're gonna save you.
