->''There was a house on top of a hill, where a dying scientist bequeathed his life's work to his two assistants; Katz and Uno. The scientists gave instructions on how to create monsters to solve any problem, along with a series of documents on the cure to cancer, AIDS, and world hunger. But, unfortunately, due to an untimely grease fire caused by someone cooking some fries (NOT NAMING ANY NAMES), the house burnt down and the scientist's life work was lost forever. Now with a handful of monsters and a fire insurance check, Katz and Uno have purchased a three-bedroom house in a quiet suburban town. This is their [[TitleDrop Monster Lab]]!''
