# Story
![story](/SMBX%201.3/2k15%20Summer%20Takeover%20-%20The%20Wizard%20of%20EZ%20-%20story.png)

We continue where we left off...
Our heroes thought their adventure was over when they found Valtteri in the Tower of Bias and assured he was safe, but suddenly a disembodied voice could be heard, revealing their plan of taking over the forums. Whose voice was this?
Suddenly the tower was shaken and caught in a storm that lifted the entire tower off the ground! Our heroes tried escaping the tower, but before they could make it out, it already crashed into the ground.
Stepping outside, Merio, zlakerboy357 and Valtteri were startled to find that they had landed in a strange world that was far from the forums. A local townsperson told them that they had landed in the magical land of EZ and that their tower had just crushed the wicked Superiorstar, ending his reign of terror over Enjl Land.
Worried about what had happened to their friends, but mostly confused by the circumstances, zlakerboy357 and Merio decided to explore the area, only to find that it was more familiar to them than they had originally thought...
