Chapter 1: The Yoshi Island Invasion

Miln was walking through the forest. He had already gathered apples and fixed up his house, and decided to go out and enjoy the peacefulness that seemed to encompass the entire island. He saw many small animals scampering about, some heading back to the safety of their shelters for the night, and some just awakening to go and hunt.

Miln, like all Yoshi's, was very peaceful and enjoyed nature. The only time there ever was any conflict with the Yoshis themselves, were many years ago when they became caught up in Kamek's plot to rid the Koopa Kingdom of the young brothers who were prophesized to take down its future king, Bowser. But that was before Miln's time.

He has never had any relation with Mario, Bowser and the Koopa and Mushroom kingdoms themselves. He had always wanted to visit the mainland, but couldn't, as it was an unspoken rule known by all Yoshis to never bring conflict to the island. Just then, a bright light streaked through the sky, heading in the direction of the village, and disappeared behind the tree line. Miln then heard a loud BOOM, and quickly ran toward the village to see what happened. He was horrified at what he saw.

There was fire almost everywhere. Yoshis were running around frantically, trying to get away from strange, flying creatures. They were green, had thick, short legs and long, thin arms, a small tail, and a long antennae-like protrusion on their heads. They had three fingers on each hand, and carried small lasers. But the most notable features were their faces. They had big, sky-blue eyes with a swirling design, almost as if they were meant to hypnotize, and wide mouths with large teeth that stretched into a psychopathic-looking smile. There were vehicles too. Small, saucer-looking things that fit around one of the creatures almost like armor.

Miln didn't know whether to try and fend them off or run and get help. He decided to run, as most Yoshis did not know how to fight without the aid of another species. He went deeper into the forest to avoid being seen, then ran around to the other side of the village to the bridge that connected Yoshi Island to the southeastern shore of the Mushroom Kingdom.

When he arrived, he saw the bridge had been blown. He tried thinking of a way across, when several of the creatures appeared behind him. They shot at him, and, without thinking, Miln dove of the edge. He started swimming toward the Mushroom Kingdom's shore, but took an energy blast to the back of his head, knocking him out, and leaving him at the mercy of the waves.
