AN. This is my first fic. You can go easy on me or hard,I don't care. I really don't have much to say, since this is my first fic and I'm new here. Well, anyway, here I go.

Ch1.: How it All Began…

"Err…! It's mine! Get your hands off my apple!"

"It's the only food left on this godforsaken island! I see that it's only fair that we split it!"

"It's everyman for himself! So unless you wanna be squashed…!"

"Oh yeah! Well then, I say bring it on!"

Yoshi and Marth glared at each other, fighting for the apple, the last food source left on the small island. Stranded, their little food supply had quickly dissipated. Maybe I should start from the beginning though…

…6 days ago…

"Yaaaaaaawn" Yoshi rose from his small mat by the fire pit. He wasn't the type to sleep in beds. He'd prefer to sleep like a dog or cat, any day. He just felt uncomfortable in beds. Maybe 'cause he was a like a dinosaur. He slowly got to his feet as the fire crackled weakly. He had forgotten to go inside his hut last night, he was so exhausted that he must have fallen asleep outside. He smelled like smoke, he almost gagged at the smell. Walking over to the small beach not far from his hut, he dove into the water to cleanse himself. He surfaced at spat water into the air, like one of those fountains rich people have. The water was so crisp and clear, nice and cool. Just being in it made his spirits rise.

Not long ago, Marth came and settled in on small Yo'ster Island. He said he was sick of fighting, and just needed to relax and take in the peaceful life. He hadn't caused trouble, which was Yoshi's first impression. Humans had never settled in Yo'ster Island. Mario, however, did visit. But he never actually settled down here on the island.

Yoshi galloped out of the water, he shook himself a little to help dry off. The sky was beautiful, bright blue, not a single cloud in sight. He took a big whiff of the pure air. Then he left for some grub.

As Yoshi strolled through the town, he noticed weird behaviors from his fellow kind. He shook the thought off and walked on, ignoring the others. But it then happened. Violent and raging, a red yoshi head butted him, knocking him into a hut. It all happened so fast. Yoshi had no idea why he was head butted, but he opened his eyes to see his attacker closing in on him. Something was different, he noticed that the red yoshi had a purple crest on his head. It looked like, like an eye.

He was going to dodge at the last second, but there was a small flash as the red yoshi fell backwards. He saw Marth standing there, sword drawn.

"Marth?" The cyan yoshi asked as he arose from the small wooden pile. Marth never answered, because within that very second, he was swallowed by a green yoshi, as so was the cyan yoshi. It was all black from then.

Until…

"…care to explain why your fellow people just tried to kill us!" Marth yelled as he clenched his fist. He had just popped out of the egg and was still peeling some of it off. Yoshi sat their, holding his stomach.

"Ugh…so hungry…" Yoshi pulled out a small candy bar and ate it. "munch munch dunno…munch" Yoshi swallowed the last of the candy, then turned to Marth.

"But, did you notice that weird crest on the yoshi's forehead?" Yoshi asked. Marth shook his head, "No, but…sigh what now, were stranded with no food but that apple tree. It isn't going to supply food for more then 6 days at max. So it seems."

…6 days later…

"Err…! It's mine! Get your hands off my apple!"

"It's the only food left on this godforsaken island! I see that it's only fair that we split it!"

"It's everyman for himself! So unless you wanna be squashed…!"

"Oh yeah! Well then, I say bring it on!"

Yoshi and Marth glared at each other, fighting for the apple, the last food source left on the small island. Stranded, their little food supply had quickly dissipated.

Marth drew his sword, "You wanna go? Huh pal?"

Yoshi laughed, "Hah! I'd crush you!"

Just then, with what little luck they had, they saw Princess Peach's plane! Yoshi let go of the apple. Marth took it and shoved the whole thing in his mouth. A big victory smirk grew across his face as he chewed it.

Yoshi pointed to the plane as he started crying tears of joy. "Oh my god! Look!" Marth started waving frantically, while Yoshi threw eggs as high as he could. The eggs were as close to a flare as they had.

Meanwhile…on Peach's plane…

Luigi sat in the comfortable seat, staring deeply into the sea below. Actually, he wasn't as comfortable as he looked. He felt sick, he had been on the plane for at least 2 hours. Prolonged rides at heights really got to Luigi. They made him feel ill. Luigi, however, did notice the small dancing figure with the…fireworks? This trip must really be getting to me, He thought. But as he looked closer, he could make out what seemed to be a cyan Yoshi and a person. He rose and ran to the pilot room. "Peach…!" he yelled as he groggily pushed himself through the door. She turned her head to look at the ill-faced Luigi.

"Yes?" She asked as perky as ever.

He pointed out the window, to the small island, "land there. I think I see a yoshi down there, along with a person."

Back on the island…

"Their coming! Wohoo! I can't believe were saved!" Yoshi screamed as he cried more tears.

The plane landed as best it could off the coast of the island. Running to the plane, Marth and Yoshi tried to beat each other there first. They both jumped onto the plane. Yoshi began kissing the floor as Marth fell back into one of the seats. Luigi and Peach soon met with them, as the plane took off.

"Oh dear. Whatever were you doing on that island?" Peach asked.

Marth sighed, "The yoshi's on Yo'ster Island have become violent. They turned us into eggs and then when we came to, we were on the small island."

"Well, my bro seemed to become strange too. He became violent and attacked the princess!" Luigi stated. For some reason he wasn't groggy anymore. But that was a good thing.

Peach nodded, "I had him locked up for his crime, but the next day he was gone. The bars of the cell were bent too."

"Did you happen to see a purple crest on Mario's head?" Yoshi asked. Luigi and Peach both nodded, "Oh yes, the horrible symbol on Mario's head was very frightening." Peach stated. "Why do you ask? Peach added.

"The yoshi that attacked me had that same symbol on his head." Yoshi said. Marth looked to the floor, "So, it's happening elsewhere too. Could Bowser be behind this?" Peach and Luigi looked at Marth, "One way to find out." Luigi said, as he began to tremble.

Yoshi jumped in glee, "Yay! To Bowser's Keep!" Luigi swallowed, "uh…y-yeah..." The plane turned around and headed for Bowser's Keep.

AN. Please review! maybe I'll have more to say in these notes in chapter 2...
