Super Mario: An Equestrial Adventure
Chapter 4: The Mare of Many Secrets
Yoshi's Perspective:
When I woke back up, I didn't know where I was. I was in a bed in a small room. But that's all I can tell by now. If I try getting up, will it startle someone? Someone clearly cares for me. But who? Was it that figure I saw in the woods? I can't tell what is happening at the moment. I removed the blankets from my body just when the door into the room opens, and a friendly voice spoke to me,
"Hello, Yoshi. I knew you would come back."
I didn't believe what I saw next. It was the same figure, only this time, I see her much clearer now. She was, in fact, dark blue with a long, sapphire blue mane and tail, She had a long unicorn horn, wings, little blue slippers on each hoof, and around the neck was a black sash with a moon on it. The same moon appeared on a black smudge on her back. I feel like I've seen her before, but how? Who is she? I begin to speak, anxious at what is happening,
"How do you know my name? And who are you?"
"You do not remember?" She asked sadly, "I am Princess Luna. I lead Equestria under my sister, Princess Celestia."
"Am I in-"
"Canterlot. After you crashed into that tree, and fainted, I brought you here. You seem alright."
"I feel much better."
"Celestia's healing magic. I knew it would work."
I looked at her, confused. "What do you mean, remember? And I have never been here before."
"Actually, you have." Luna walked over to a dresser and pulled out a locket. She handed it to me. I opened it, and I was shocked. In it were pictures of me, but as an infant. And I was cradled in Luna's arms.
"I can explain everything. I'm not your real mother. Your real parents- they-" she sighed, a tear left her eye, and she looked straight at me. "They're dead."
I don't know what to say to her. My real parents died? After all these years. I asked her,
"Is it true? Have these two dimensions been joined together?"
"As a matter of fact, they have." She used her magic to pull an old, dusty book from a shelf, opened it to a certain page, and showed it to me. "Equestria and the Mushroom Kingdom lived in harmony, until the Changelings attacked. If we were at war, normally we would fight together, but the evil King Bowser, ruler of the dark half of the Mushroom Kingdom, obtain a magical staff that can fracture space and time itself, and he SPLIT the dimension in half, leaving us to the hands of Queen Chrysalis' Changelings. Bowser began using your kind, Yoshis, as his general militia, and this worried your parents. So they sent you through a magical portal cast by your grandfather. Once the portal was cast, they put you through it and you ended up in Canterlot. Just when I was walking by, I saw you, all sad, and alone. Through the portal, I saw what happened. Koopa Troopas busted in the house, started beating them all up, and dragged their lifeless bodies out. I used my magic to quickly close the portal and I knew your parents were gone. So I took you in as my own. I raised you for about ten months, but just then, my sister Celestia, thought she felt a traitor in Canterlot. So she looked everywhere for you. I knew if you were found, you could be killed, so I cast another portal and sent you back into the Mushroom Kingdom, hoping you would be safe." She was crying. "That was the last time I saw you. And now you're back!" She hugged me tightly. "My little Yoshi!"
I never really knew what happened in my early life. But now I do. I feel kind of sorry for her, having to go through all of what happened. So I slowly raised my arms and started hugging her back.
"I have something to tell you, Princess Luna."
"What is it, my dear little Yoshi?"
"The reason I am here is because- well- Bowser used that same staff to create a portal, and we fell into the woods by a small town."
"Ponyville?"
"I think so. We got separated in the woods, and when I was trying to get out, I hit the tree. And that's when you found me. Me and my friends," I sighed and stayed quiet for a while. Then I finally finished, "We're trying to get back to our dimension."
"Wait. You're," she sniffled, "You're leaving?"
"Well, we need to stop Bowser. We were going to destroy the staff. Hopefully to reverse all it's evil. To bring Equestria and the Mushroom Kingdom together again." I smiled at her. "So you won't lose me again."
"Oh. You would do that?" she immediately grew a smile, "You would save Equestria from the Changelings? Combine the dimensions again, and hopefully peace will return to us again?"
I nodded.
"Oh you're so sweet." She smiled, kissed my right cheek and walked toward the door. "I have to tell everyone that Equestria is saved. I'll be right back." She used magic to open the door, walked out, closed the door, and left. I took the book, put it back on the shelf and thought to myself,
"Now how can I get back? Oh I'm an idiot!" I smacked myself right across my face and thought, "Oh, where are you Mario? You'd know what to do."
Just then, the door opened again, both Luna and what I think is her older sister, Princess Celestia, came in. I stumbled to get on my feet when Celestia says to me,
"Hello Yoshi. I heard a lot about you. My sister says you've come to save Equestria from Queen Chrysalis and your Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser. Correct?"
"Yes your Highness." I bowed down to her.
She chuckled, "you don't need to bow to me. I'm not an evil princess."
"Oh." I got back up and told her, "I have also come with two friends of mine. Mario and Luigi. We got separated when we came here. Bowser cast a portal that led into the woods. Then Luna found me there."
"Well, my sister made the right choice in bringing you here to Canterlot. Please come with us. We have much to show you. Many ponies here would like to meet our savior. Especially the New Princess."
"New Princess?" I asked, "How many princesses are there here?"
"Currently, four. Luna and me. Princess Cadance, and Twilight Sparkle."
"Where are the others?"
"Cadance and her husband Shining Armor were in the royal courtyard when I saw them last."
"Wait." I was cofused. "If Changelings are everywhere, how come they aren't here?"
"Because, Yoshi, Canterlot is under the protection of a magical barrier." Princess Celestia looked up. "This barrier is like a big, pink, indestructible bubble. I have improved my magic skills so that they cannot penetrate it. Last time, during Cadance's wedding, they broke through and Queen Chrysalis' army attacked everypony. Now it is as impenetrable as- well- it's like four layers of steel. One on top of another."
Suddenly, Luna said, "Yoshi, look. Here comes the young Princess Twilight. You should make yourself presentable." She told me to walk up to her, and once I took one step, she turned my way.
"Excuse me. May I help you?" she asked me.
I hesitated but I finally spoke up, "My name is Yoshi. I am from the Mushroom Kingdom. I have come to save us all from the wrath of Queen Chrysalis and restore both Equestria and the Mushroom Kingdom to its former glory as one dimension again."
"Well, that's nice but, King Bowser has a staff that divided us both."
"I know. I need a portal to get back, retrieve the staff, and restore all evil he's done."
"Well, if you can, I'm sure all of Equestria will be grateful." she smiled and got close, stared into my eyes, and said mockingly, "I'd like to see you try, Yoshi. nopony that's tried has come back alive."
"That's the thing! I'm not a pony. I fought him before. I can do it again."
Suddenly a giant hole burst into the bubble barrier and Changelings started swarming Canterlot fast. Ponies were getting abducted everywhere. Celestia and Luna ran into one room and yelled, "Hurry, you two!"
Twilight and I started running to the door when Changelings formed a barrier. Twilight tried using magic to get them out of the way, but they started growling and pounced on her. I quickly jumped onto some of them, fighting them to the ground. It gave Twilight to run, and once she was safe, she used magic to throw them off me, helping me to run. Once we all got in, Luna locked the doors, Twilight and I blocked it with furniture, and Celestia formed another barrier at the door. Guess ponies have to be extra cautious. Once the four of us were safe, Celestia said,
"That should hold them off. We have to get out of here. I know where a secret escape passage is. I had it blocked for some time. I guess it has a purpose now." She walked to a bookshelf, pulled one book halfway out of the shelf, the entire shelf moved to the side, revealing what looks like a vault entrance. She used magic to turn the crank, the door flew open, and she told us,
"This secret exit will hopefully take us down to Ponyville. It's underground so no one will find us. We have to hurry. Follow me." Her horn starting glowing bright, as our light source, and she started walking into the darkness. We knew we had to follow. I hope Mario and Luigi are okay, whereever they are.
