Bowser thought to himself for a bit, but then decided to grab a bite to eat. At his current state, he was already fairly strong, carrying one of the heavy boxes and dumping all the food that was inside it on a large round table. Apparently what was inside the box turned out to be all kinds of large fried meats and a couple different freshly-prepared desserts. "Wow! Didn't think there'd be all this food inside there." Bowser grabbed a large chair and sat himself right in. He grabbed a large piece of a pork leg and quickly took a large bite out of it. After doing so, he set his right arm on the table to lean his head against his right hand, and then gulped up the meat he was chewing on. Bowser sighed, "Great. Now what am I supposed to do? That lousy koopa didn't even inform me when the effects would start kicking in." All of a sudden, Bowser's belly began bubbling a little and making some gurgling noises. Could it be from the potion? Or is it from the food he had just eaten? Either way, it was making his stomach feel uneasy, "Ugh... If that potion gave me indigestion, I'll shove that koopa's head so far down his shell, he won't be able to bring his head back out!"
Bowser began rubbing his stomach with his right hand to try to ease the gurgling pain, but strangely enough, it seemed to have worked. "Huh? ... Hey, my stomach doesn't ache anymore." Bowser held up his right arm, "I must have the magic touch or something. Hah!" All of a sudden, Bowser's hand seemed to start twitching a bit. "What the...?" After twitching a bit more, the ends of Bowser's fingers seemed to have stretched out some more, forming sharper claws. The muscles in Bowser's palm also began to bulge out a bit. Bowser wasn't sure of what was going on, "Wha... My hand... !" Bowser shifted his view down to his forearm. Suddenly, a few veins had popped up around his forearm. He could clearly see each of them pulsing and wiggling around. But then, they all seemed to have starting pumping, as if pumping blood into the muscles around his forearm. They did. Bowser watched as the bulge that was his forearm began tensing up a bit on its own, and then started to swell up a bit. It was clear that the potion was starting to work. But was it working on its own, or was he doing something that was causing it? Bowser thought of it for a bit, but then his eyes shifted down further, now staring at his bicep and tricep. Some muscle was already showing, but more muscle was on the way. Bowser set his arm on the table as a couple veins suddenly snaked around his entire bicep and tricep area. Once they stopped, they all remained where they were, all pulsing at once at the beat of his heart. Bowser watched as the veins kept beating for over half a minute, but then, all the veins seemed to have seeped into his bicep and tricep. Bowser waited for something to happen, then witnessed his bicep and tricep suddenly tense up, and the both bulged out. Bowser's eyes widened as he watched his now softball-sized bicep pulse out to the same beat as earlier. The look of it was quite impressive. Even more impressive than how his forearm now looks.
Bowser slowly lifted his arm as he gazed at his new bulge. He gave it a small flex, but it peaked out pretty well. "Heh." Bowser smirked as he gave his muscular arm a harder flex, making his bicep peak an inch higher while accompanied by a good vein. Bowser set the pork leg down as he began flexing his arm in a couple different ways. Watching the muscles tense and ripple with great strength. "Holy... This is great!" Bowser flexed his arm up towards his head, giving his newly-formed gun a kiss. "Hee hee.." For Bowser's next pose, he gripped his right wrist with his left hand, and then straightened his right arm outwards as he gave it another good flex. "Hm?" As Bowser was holding that pose, he shifted his left hand to his right rippling forearm. It was as if the muscles in his forearm, possible the rest of his arm muscles for that matter, were swelling out more and more. Although it was very minimal, it was enough to get Bowser hyped up. "Aww, sweet!" All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. Bowser relaxed his arm muscles as he set them both on the table, "Who is it?"
"Uh, i-it's me sir." It sounded like the koopa scientist.
"Oh, it's you. Come in here. I've got somethin' to show ya."
Worried about what it was, the koopa slowly opened the door with caution. "Y-yes...sir? !!" The koopa's eyes widened as he stared right into the first thing he saw, "Sir, your...your arm..."
"Oh. Is that really the first thing you noticed? Heh. Well, anyways, that blue potion stuff is really startin' ta kick in." Bowser stood up and set his right hand on the table to lean against his right muscular arm. Bowser then began flexing his arm again, making his bicep and tricep area bulge in and out as he pointed at his bicep with his left hand, "Check out this bad boy."
"Uh, impressive sir. But, may I ask, what caused your arm to become that of a weight trainer's?"
Bowser shrugged his shoulders, "Ya got me."
"But, surely you must know what caused your muscles to expand."
"All that happened in here was that I emptied one of those crates of food, and then took a bite out of one of those pork legs. My stomach ached for a bit...", Bowser flexed his right arm upwards as he showed with his left hand the beating muscle that was his bicep, "...and then this happened.", Bowser said with a smile.
The scientist was scratching the bottom of his chin, "Hmm... Intriguing." Suddenly, the koopa may have gotten an answer, "! I think I know the answer!" The koopa pointed at the pork leg Bowser had already taken a bite out of, "It must be the food! The food must be what's causing the potion to give you strength."
Bowser stared at the chewed-up meat, "Mmm... I don't know... You really think so?"
"Why not take another bite? It wouldn't hurt to try."
Bowser picked up the barbecued meat with his muscled arm. He stared at it for a few seconds, but then just shrugged it off and took another large bite out of it. Bowser chewed it up a bit and then quickly gulped it up. Suddenly, the same feeling he got from earlier was immediately happening to his stomach again. "Augh... Hm? Well, at least it's not as bad as last time." A twitching feeling suddenly came on to Bowser's left shoulder. It twitched out pretty much, and then it began throbbing as the muscles inside it were expanding out. His left bicep and tricep were also starting to twitch and bulge out. It continued on to his forearm, and then his left hand. "Oh ho ho..." Looking at his left arm, all the muscles were now even with the muscles on his right arm, but all his left arm muscles were still pulsing a bit after their recent growth. Bowser set the pork leg down and said as he flexed his arms downward a bit, "Now THIS is what I'm talkin' about!" There wasn't much effort put into the pose, but it was enough to cause a couple veins to show from all around. Bowser said as he began feeling his left arm, "I can sure get used to this", Bowser said with a grin.
"Sir, just curious, doesn't the growth hurt?"
"Nope! In fact, it was quite, pleasureful, if ya ask me."
"Oh. So...what now?"
