Ch 4 Awakening

Ch 4 Awakening

Yoshi, Lee, and Toad had been traveling for a few hours to make it to Yoshi village and they were almost there.

"There it is!" Lee yelled running towards Yoshi village.

"Hold on, we don't know if anyone remembers anything." Yoshi grabbed Lee.

"Someone had to hide in their egg." Lee said

"Even so we don't know who did," Yoshi replied. "We could be seen as the guys who tried to overthrow the kingdom."

"Well, I never thought about that way." Lee calmed down.

"Can we hurry up?" Toad asked. "I'm tired of carrying this bomb."

"YOU STILL HAVE IT!" Lee jumped another mile.

"How could you not notice, he dropped it about five times on the way here." Yoshi said.

"I tend to block out things like that." Lee replied.

Toad, Yoshi, and Lee walked to the village slowly careful not to attract attention. They made it into the village and everyone seemed to shy away. Whispers could be heard all around and Toad began to wonder what the whispers were.

"Hey! What are you guys whispering about?" He yelled putting the amnesia bomb down.

It went silent for a minute then a Yoshi was pushed out of his house.

"That's the last time I play rock paper scissors with him," the yoshi said. He then looked up and stared at Yoshi.

"Well nice to see you Bryan." Yoshi seemed to know his name.

"You remember?" Bryan asked shyly

"Of course, I'm a Yoshi too." Yoshi replied proudly.

"What about him?" Bryan pointed at Toad.

"He remembers too," Yoshi answered.

"Hey everyone, they remember." Bryan yelled.

Within seconds there was a gaggle of yoshies rushing outside their doors to greet Yoshi. It was like a running rainbow, which made Toad wonder if any gay yoshies existed, but he couldn't wonder too long because they were all asking him questions. It took Yoshi a few minutes to bring the crowd to a qualm. When he finally did he told everyone he'd answer questions tomorrow. After everyone left he headed to his house and took Toad with him. Moments later everyone had settled down at Yoshi's house

"So, Toad let's have a look at that bomb." Yoshi said.

"Aren't you nervous?" Toad asked giving Yoshi the bomb.

"About what" Yoshi replied grabbing the bomb.

"The bomb exploding." Toad finished.

"Not really," Yoshi said. "The way I see it, this bomb must have taken a lot of energy to work, even in the area Bowser wanted it to work in. There's no way it could work twice in a row without a recharge or something like that. Plus the water shorted it out, for all we know it may not work at all anymore."

"That's it," Lee jumped up thinking he finally had the idea to fix everything. "If the bomb can bring back people's memories then all we need to do is recharge it"

"One problem, how do you charge an amnesia bomb and get it to explode like before." Yoshi said.

"Maybe there's some clue on it" Lee grabbed the bomb from his dad.

"You think so" Toad looked around the bomb with Lee.

"Well, I mean there has to be something" Lee said.

"Slow down, the clue your looking for just won't show up like that. What you're looking for is too broad." Yoshi grabbed the bomb. "Besides it'd be better to check tomorrow morning anyway." He yawned.

"Your tired already" Toad said. "It's too early to go to bed."

"Yeah, it is early, but in the excitement of today I'm feeling tired." Yoshi headed towards his bedroom. "You can room with Lee for tonight. Get some sleep, tomorrow is going to be a big day."

"What makes you say that?" Toad asked.

"Just a feeling." Yoshi replied.

"You know, I'm feeling a bit tired to." Lee said "I'm going sleep, there's an extra bed in my bedroom whenever you're ready to go to bed."

"Alright." Toad picked up the bomb.

Toad messed around with the orb for the next hour or so. He was fascinated by it. The orb was about the size of a dodge ball; Toad had been hit by many of those, and it had a very smooth surface. Toad was still looking for some sort of clue but nothing popped up. Eventually Toad gave up and decided to go to bed, but the second he turned off the lights the orb started glowing. He picked it up once again, and looked around the surface for the last time. This time the message was clear, he saw words inscribed on the bomb. They were tiny, but Toad could manage to read the words.

"Property of Mike Rowe." Toad mumbled reading what was inscribed. "I wonder who that is?" He yawned and went to bed, happy that he'd found something.

Toadsworth was finally beginning to wake up. It was dawn and Toadsworth could feel a very strong headache. He looked around the forest to try to figure out where he was. He still had no clue but he could some figures in the distance. Toadsworth eventually realized it was Peach and Mario. That was when it hit him; he remembered everything. His memory was back. One thing stood out in his mind, he didn't have to work for Peach anymore; though that was the only thing he knew how to do. So he decided to run up to Peach.

"Where are you taking me?" Luigi was tied up and being dragged along the ground by Mario.

"Peach's castle of course." Mario replied.

"Quiet you two, I hear something." Peach commanded

"Morning, princess." Toadsworth walked through a bush.

"Princess? You're the first person to call me that." Peach thought for a minute "Yeah… Princess Peach, I like it."

"Wait a minute, does this mean I'm not Prince Luigi anymore?" Luigi squirmed to get free of the rope.

"Not after we're done with you," Mario replied

Luigi took a second to wish he never asked that question.

"So tell me… um." Peach began to ask.

"Toadsworth, princess, my name is Toadsworth." Toadsworth said.

"Okay, so tell me, what are you doing out here?" Peach asked.

Luigi wondered why Peach was being so kind to this Toadsworth guy, whom neither of them knew, but obliterated his castle door without warning. Anyway, Toadsworth didn't want to tell Peach the truth and risk losing what little trust he had. If Peach knew Toadsworth was originally on Luigi's side, he'd be in more pain than the time he called Bowser an obese koopa. So, he made up a story about a ninja winning the national spelling bee.

"That's very interesting." Peach said skeptically.

"How does that relate to?" Luigi was cut off by Mario

"Shut up." Mario commanded

"But I don't understand how." Mario glared at Luigi who went silent.

"Well, it sounds like you had a ruff time." Peach said. "But I'm not about to show any pity."

"I'm not looking for that." Toadsworth replied.

"So what are you looking for?" Mario was curious

"I'm looking for power," Toadsworth said impulsively.

"Interesting," Peach thought for a minute. "Well then, why don't you come with us?"

"For what?" Toadsworth asked.

Peach laughed malevolently. "I may be able to give you power."

"Sweet." Toadsworth mumbled.

Bowser landed just outside of Goomba town. Mario had managed to throw him pretty far. He sat up and glanced around.

"I can't believe I lost." Bowser mumbled to himself. "I thought good always won. Now what do I do?"

"Wow, it's Bowser!" A goomba came around and saw Bowser "Hey, you look down. What happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it" Bowser folded his arms and turned around.

The goomba sighed. "Come on, letting your feelings out never hurt."

"It does for me," Bowser replied getting up and walking away.

"Hey we're you going?" the goomba asked.

"To save a prince," Bowser said.

"Really! Can I come?" The goomba asked excitedly.

"Sure" Bowser replied reluctantly.
