Mario was running along Gelato Beach when he tripped over a Yoshi egg. "Hey, an egg!"
"It looks like it wants a pineapple," remarked FLUDD.
Mario ran a few feet over. "I know where we can get one!" Mario found the fruit under a tree and gave it to the Yoshi egg. It hatched into the lovable dinosaur. "Yoshi!"
"They have a limited vocabulary," explained FLUDD. "Obviously, they are not the most intelligent of all creatures."
The Yoshi looked insulted. "Hey! We do not! We prefer, however, to speak in our native tongue, which, when translated, is a lot smarter than YOUR dialect! So stick THAT up your rusty pipe!"
FLUDD was astonished. "How amazing! Say something else!"
"Yoshi!"
Mario sighed. "Thanks a lot, FLUDD."
"I have a habit of doing that, sorry," admitted FLUDD. "Well, now that we have the dinosaur, what do we intend to do with it?"
"Gee, I don't know..." The Yoshi smelled something and took off running. Mario chased after it. "Come back, little guy!"
"It craves something!" said FLUDD. "But what?"
They eventually caught up to it at the entrance to Corona Mountain. "It wants to go inside!" said FLUDD.
"Well, I gotta stop it!" Mario blocked Yoshi's path. "You're not going in there, Yoshi! Bad Koopas are in there!"
Undaunted, Yoshi stuck his amazingly long tongue into the volcano, and pulled out a chili pepper.
"He's eating the Koopa's food..." gasped Mario. "...wow! What a great friend!"
A loud screech echoed out from inside. "WHO...ATE...MY...CHILI PEPPER!"
"We seem to have woken up an ancient beast!" said FLUDD.
"Nah, that's just Wendy. Let's get outta here!"
Inside, Wendy was trashing the place in one of her tantrums. "That stupid Yoshi just stuck his tongue in here and ate it! It was mine! MINE!"
Jr nervously approached his sister. "Calm down..."
"No!" insisted Bowser. "If we let her rage go wild, she'll want to do something evil, which means more fun for you kids!"
Wendy looked up. "I have an idea! Let's get rid of all the Yoshis!"
"I'll make a sneaky plan!" said Larry.
"I'll work out the details!" said Ludwig.
"I'll scout out the island!" said Jr.
"I'll pound anyone who bothers them!" said Roy.
"I'll write a victory speech, talk, essay when we conquer the Yoshis! They're so whiny and annoying and sound like they inhaled a bunch of helium! It's worse than my scratchy voice!" said Morton.
"We'll provide comic relief..." began Lemmy.
"...and moral support!" finished Iggy.
"I'll sleep," said Bowser, heading off to his private cave. "With kids like this, who needs minions?" The Koopalings laughed and got to work.
Castaway the Pianta was sitting on his island, like he always did. Mario floated over on a boat with Yoshi and FLUDD. "Hi, Castaway. I figured you could use a ride back."
Castaway got into the boat. "Thanks a lot! I see you have a Yoshi. You shouldn't have brought him, you know. If they touch water, they're sucked back into their eggs and sleep until someone brings them fruit."
"Yo," agreed Yoshi, still talking his own language.
"I think he agreed with you," said FLUDD. "I'm not quite sure, as it refuses to talk to me."
Yoshi stuck its tongue out at FLUDD, which outraged him. "Why that little..." in anger, FLUDD sprayed a stream of water at Yoshi. Trying to avoid the squirt, the dinosaur jumped into the ocean and dissolved in a green haze. "Owowowowow!"
"Thanks a lot, FLUDD!" groaned Mario.
FLUDD looked ashamed. "I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me."
Mario gave Castaway a ride back. Before the villager left, he gave Mario one more important message: "Don't worry about your friend, Mario. Just find the egg you found it in and give it more fruit. It'll hatch and Yoshi will be back."
"Right! Let's go, FLUDD! This is your fault!"
"I said I was sorry..."
"Less talk, more spray!" FLUDD turboed Mario to back to Gelato Beach. "Looks like Yoshi wants a chili pepper this time!" said Mario, looking at the egg. "I think you can find them at the local vendors."
Mario sprayed himself back to the plaza and bought a chili pepper. "You're lucky, Mario," said the vendor. "That's our last one."
"Yoshi will love this!"
Mario left. The second he was gone, Wendy jumped in, her awful temper at its worst. "Gimmie all your chili peppers! NOW!"
The vendor backed away. "Uh-uh-uh...Mario took the last one! He said it was for a Yoshi!"
Wendy threw some fruit around. "That's the SECOND time I've lost a pepper to that green thing! He'll pay!"
"That's too bad, miss," said Castaway. Wendy whirled around and grabbed the Pianta. "YOU STAY OUTTA THIS!"
The next thing Castaway found himself seeing was his island coming closer and closer. He landed, realizing he'd been thrown back by a Koopa. "Wow, that's the quickest I've ever come back. Oh, well."
Meanwhile, Mario had hatched Yoshi and was riding it around on Gelato Beach. Wendy had tracked him down and spied from a tower above. This tower held the egg of a fabled creature called the Sand Bird. "Ooh, Mario," Wendy said to herself, "you and Yoshi are goin' down before the rest are!"
A local Pianta professor was walking around below with Toadsworth. They looked up and saw Wendy crawling around on the egg.
"Heavens, Toadsworth!" cried the Professor. "That horrible monster is up on the legendary Sand Bird egg!"
"The Sand Bird? The rare creature that is said to hatch soon?"
"That's the one! And that thing up there may be tampering with it!"
Toadsworth took a closer look. "That's Wendy O. Koopa! Bowser's only daughter! We must find Mario!"
They looked up again to see Mario and Wendy fighting. "Oh. That was fast."
Mario sprayed FLUDD's water Wendy, tripping her up. She was about to lose her balance when she pulled out her magic wand and fired back. "Take THIS!"
FLUDD found his water dissolving. "It's...too powerful!"
Just when all seemed lost, Yoshi jumps up and blasted Wendy away with some fruit juice he was storing in his mouth. "Gross!"
"Our Yoshi saved us!" cried Mario.
"Indeed."
Wendy ended up back at Corona Mountain. She angrily stomped in, passing Iggy and Lemmy. "They're really gonna pay now!"
"Hey, you smell like fruit," remarked Lemmy.
"Are you using shampoo?" asked Iggy.
"Shut up before I kill you too!" hissed Wendy.
"Must be a bad brand," whispered Iggy.
Larry and Ludwig walked by, discussing their plan. "I've it planned out," Larry was saying, "but I need a good vehicle for transportation. We still got that Doomship?"
"If you'll remember, it was destroyed by that Pianta, Castaway," Ludwig reminded him. "However, we brought a back-up machine..." Ludwig opened a door revealing..."The Clown Copter."
That night, Mario looked out the window over the town. It was so peaceful at night. "What an island, FLUDD...we've been here only a week or so and already so many things have happened to us."
"How optimistic."
"Hey, I never said GOOD things happened."
Peach, Toad, and Toadsworth were already asleep. Mario and Yoshi joined them while FLUDD went into sleep mode. If Mario had stayed awake a few minutes longer, he would have seen the Clown Copter landing in front of his house. The Koopalings piled out, holding the entire Yoshi egg population.
"I still say we SMASH the eggs!" insisted Wendy in a voice loud enough to wake Mario up.
"No way!" argued Larry. "My plan is to abandon the eggs underground! In a few weeks, we'll drop some fruit in and watch them fight to the death!"
Roy was impressed. "Wow, that's pretty evil!"
"Here's a good place!" said Jr. Using his magic paintbrush, Jr drew a manhole in the ground. The Koopas quickly dropped the eggs in and erased the hole, leaving nothing in its place. "Great! Now let's get outta here!"
"Yeah," Morton said loudly, "they're caught, captured, kidnaped, stuck, trapped, and other ways of saying that!"
Mario, meanwhile, had heard the entire thing and was watching them up from his window. "Those idiots! They're doing this right in my full view! It's as if they want me to see it..."
FLUDD listened in as the kids disappeared around a corner. "They're whispering something...I can make it out...'when Mario comes out here, we storm his house and grab the Yoshi...'"
"Those creeps!" grumbled Mario. "Okay, I have an idea!"
A few minutes later, Mario and Yoshi jumped out the window down to where the Yoshi eggs were hidden. Jr peered around the corner. "He's got Yoshi with him! Now what do we do?
"Storm his house anyway!" yelled Roy. The Koopalings headed to the door to run in, but when they opened it, they got a water greeting from FLUDD. "Well done, if I do say so myself."
Mario ran at the distracted Koopalings from behind. They managed to be readed and started blasting at him with their magic wands. Terrified, Yoshi freaked out and ran away. "Wah!"
"Oh, great," sighed Mario. With no other alternative, he randomly grabbed Jr's paintbrush and ran. Jr chased after him. "Get back here!"
"Should we help him?" asked Ludwig.
"No," said Wendy. "This is pretty funny."
Mario had reached Corona Mountain. Using the brush, he painted a hole in the side. He jumped in, only to realize he was dangling over a lake of lava. He grabbed onto the entrance he made for his life. Jr leaned in. "Looks like you're trapped now, Mario!"
"This is what happens when I don't make a plan," said Mario, "but you better watch out! Surrender or I drop your paintbrush!"
Jr glared. "Try it."
Mario dropped the paintbrush into the lava. Jr dove in after it. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The Koopaling disappeared into the red liquid.
Mario was amazed, "He really jumped in..."
Jr burst out of the lava, riding it like a rocket. "You forgot we can survive for a few seconds in lava! But I know you can't..."
Jr painted over the opening, leaving Mario nothing to hold onto. Mario plummeted into the lava, but was suddenly grabbed Yoshi's tongue at the last minute and pulled out to safety. "What are you doing here?"
"I was looking for more peppers," admitted Yoshi.
"Hey, you're talking again!"
"When I have something important to say, I'll say it. Now I suggest we check on those Koopalings..."
The duo peered out of the volcano to see paint and goop flying everywhere in the plaza.
"The Koopas are literally painting the town!" gasped Mario. "They must think I'm dead after that lava!"
"What's that they're putting out to sea?" asked Yoshi. Mario gazed down a bit to see Iggy and Lemmy sending FLUDD (on a raft with his nozzle tied shut) out into the ocean.
"Great! Now I have to save the town and FLUDD!"
Yoshi took off running. "I'll take care of your friend!" Yoshi got a bit closer and saved FLUDD with his tongue.
"Good!" called Mario. "Now to take care of the matter of the other trapped Yoshis!" Mario sprayed a few Koopas away with FLUDD/
"You can't take us all down!" yelled Roy. hardly reacting, Yoshi ate Roy and spit him into the distance. The other Koopalings soon followed.
"Yoshi!" smiled the dinosaur.
"Now to save the others!" cried Mario. Mario picked up a drop of paint Jr left behind with his finger. "I hope this works..." Mario finger painted a hole in the ground and pulled out the eggs. "Yoshi eggs ahoy!"
"Kab-i-la-kab-il-a kaboo!" was Yoshi's victory cry. "Yoshi!"
"All is well in the world," agreed FLUDD.
Toad ran out, woken up by the noise. "Wow, are those all Yoshi eggs? I've got a coconut with me..."
All the eggs sensed the food and hatched. The Yoshis began to storm the town.
"They're...hungry..." said FLUDD.
The villagers woke up and rushed out to save their food. Mario backed away "Oh no..."
Bowser, meanwhile, woke up and walked out of the volcano. "Judging by those screams of terror, I'd say my Koopa kids have won! Victory for us! Ha ha ha!" Satisfied, he walked back inside to go to sleep.
