A/N: Sorry for the great delay! I went on a summer vacation to Paris, France, only to find out I forgot my laptop. That may not sound like a problem, but my laptop sorta had my password to my fanfic account. I have not given up on this story! I'm also starting a new story, which I'l probably begin right after I publish this chapter. I'm a huge soccer fan, so I'll find a way to put the sport in my new story. Anyways, I'm glad to be back, and I hope you guys enjoy the chapter!
"Where is his stadium again?" "It's somewhere in the Bean Bean Kingdom." "Thanks captain obvious. I was talking about where in the Bean Bean Kingdom." "Well, how was I supposed to know what specific detail you were asking for?" "Spike! Hammer Head! Shut up! I'm trying to get some sleep!" "Nice going Hammer Head, you pissed off the Captain." "WHAT?! It takes two people to start an argument, both you and me." "I said shut up!" "Why are we wasting time with this team?"
Yoshi's team was on a jet destined for the Bean Bean Kingdom, the location of the next game, and the home of the two goofballs, Wario and Waluigi. While Gerald, Kritter, and Boocus got their own room, Yoshi had to share his room with Spike and Hammer Head. It hadn't been an easy night, because the two gang members had started an argument, while Yoshi sat in his chair, trying to sleep.
"Maybe the captain can clear things up, Spike." "Yeah, good idea." "Yo, Captain!" "WHAT?!" Yoshi yelled, obviously enraged. "Where's our next game?" "In the Bean Bean Kingdom." Spike and Hammer Head facepalmed, even though Hammer Head had already given that answer. "No, I mean where in the Bean Bean Kingdom?"
"Oh, it's in a field called... The Underground? I think? Now that I answered your question, can i get some sleep? The game is in three days and I need to get some rest for our practice." "Uh, sure. I guess." Spike replied, mouthing Hammer Head "We should shut up."
"Welcome, everyone, to the match between Wario and Yoshi, here, in the Underground!" Fawful yelled out to the crowd of crowd silenced as Fawful put his had up. "In the last home game, our Wario defeated our own Waluigi in the home game. Though Wario started off with a loss, can Wario begin a winning streak starting with Waluigi then Dark Horse? We will see, as the game begins in Thirty minutes!" The crowd began to chatter again once Fawful stopped talking.
"Alright team. This is our first game outside the Mushroom Kingdom, so lets give everyone in the Bean Bean Kingdom a show!" Yoshi was giving a pep talk before he went on the blimp and while everyone was putting their black armor on. "Who's gonna go out first?" Yoshi asked his team. None responded, meaning that everyone wanted to play this game. "Sorry, but Gerald, I'm putting you out first. "Fine with me!" Gerald responded, "As long as I get some playing time!" "Ok. Boocus, I'm putting you back, and Spike up top to the left. As soon as I pass that ball to Boocus, you two switch out for the rest of the game. Once I pass the ball to you, Boocus you charge it and send it to whoever is open. Got it team?" Hammer Head sent Yoshi a glare, as Yoshi forgot about his positioning. "Oops," Yoshi said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Hammer Head, you're going up top right side with me." "Ok." Hammer Head grumbled as he turned the other direction. "Alright let's have a good game! See you in a bit guys." "Later Captain." "By Dark." "See ya." "I'm on the bench right?" "Mhm." "Bye."
Yoshi was walking toward outside the stadium, surprised to see no blimp. As he turned back around to go back in the stadium, a security guard, dressed in all black, grabbed his shoulder. "Hey where've ya been?!" He asked slightly annoyed. "Where's the blimp?" Yoshi asked the guard. "There is no blimp. It's an Underground stadium. there's just a small building you jump from." "Oh! Could you lead me there?" "Gladly. If I didn't I'd be fired!" The guard laughed.
As Yoshi arrived their, he was met with a glare by Wario. "You're going down bucko." Yoshi responded with a glare back to him. "Alright guys," A security guard said, "Onto the trapdoors." Wario and Yoshi stepped on them, still glaring at eachother.
Fawful tapped on to his microphone, queue to the crowd silencing. "On our home side, here is the magnificent, golden, Wario!"
"Wario," the security guard said, "I'm going to deploy you in 3, 2, 1, Now."
As Wario fell through the stadium, half the crowd cheered, while the other half clapped silently.
When Wario landed, he glared at Spike, Hammer Head, and Boocus, sliding his hand across his neck, symbolizing death. A terrified look appeared on Boocus's face, Spike gulped, and Hammer Head returned the glare, not being afraid.
"And on the away side, we have... Dark Horse."
"Alright Yoshi, Your turn." The guard said.
As Yoshi fell, the other half of the stadium cheered, but not as loudly as Wario's cheer.
"Tough crowd." Hammer Head commented silently.
As Yoshi landed, he glared at the ball, ready to strike.
Wario's team consisted of a Birdo and two Monty Moles. "Let's see how the play, then I make decisions." Yoshi thought to himself.
"Let's begin! Shall we?" Fawful yelled with excitement into the mic.
"3!" the crowd chanted.
"2!" Fawful sang.
"1!" Yoshi and Wario mumbled.
"BEGIN!" Fawful yelled into his mic.
Wario and Yoshi dashed for the ball. Yoshi knew because of Wario's size, he'd be slower. As he predicted, Yoshi got to the ball and passed back to Boocus.
As Boocus received the ball, a Monty Mole ran toward him. As the mole lunged toward him, Boocus teleported to the side, the mole completely missing. Boocus saw Hammer Head open, so he passed it to him.
Right as Hammer Head received the ball, a Monty Mole tackled him head on, sending him and the ball to the electric wall. As Hammer Head made contact, electricity went through his veins, forcing him to shriek in pain.
"Ouch.." Boocus stared, seeing the mess he created. As the Monty Mole received the ball, he charged it a bit, then shot it. Kritter being ready, leaped to the left side of the goal and blocked it.
"Nice!" Spike yelled to Kritter. As Kritter received the ball, he rolled it to Boocus who was wide open.
Once the ball turned white, he could only see Spike, because a Monty Mole ran toward him, blocking his view of Yoshi and Hammer Head. So he decided to pass it to Spike.
Once Spike received the ball, he noticed a Birdo running toward him. "Heh, these guys are pretty slow." He chuckled to himself. "Wait... slow..." Spike sent a mischievous grin toward the Birdo as the thought ran through his mind. Spike ran right around the Birdo as she tried to tackle him. Once Spike saw there was nobody between him and Wario's goal, he dribbled toward the goal.
"You idiots!" Wario yelled at his teammates, "Can't you do anything?! Somebody mark him!"
His teammates couldn't complete Wario's command, as Spike was too far and fast.
Once Spike got close enough, he charged the ball, to the point where there was an electric sphere around the ball itself. As he shot it, it went toward Wario's Kritter, and he mumbled the same exact words Yoshi's Kritter did just a game ago: "Well, I'm screwed." As the ball made contact with the Kritter, he was electrocuted. The ball bounced straight back to Spike, who dribbled it around the Kritter and into the goal. "Boom!" He yelled as he waved to the Dark Horse fans.
"Oh, no!" Fawful exclaimed in a worried manner, "Dark Horse's Dry Bones had scored a goal! Will Wario and his team be able to get back in the game?"
"Definitely." Wario replied in his head, cursing silently at Yoshi. "Alright team! You know what to do! Give 'em a painful time!" His team nodded giving Team Shadow fierce grins.
TWEET! Wario passed the ball to the Monty Mole on his left, and Wario, the other Monty Mole, and the Birdo began running toward Yoshi, Boocus, and Spike.
"What the-" was all Yoshi could say before being smashed by Wario's elbow. The Birdo and Monty Mole also crashed into Spike and Boocus. Yoshi then realized this was a good thing, as a giant green shell and a giant ice shell floated out of Yoshi and Boocus.
"WAHAHAAA! WARIO TIME!" Wario yelled, as the Monty Mole with the ball passed it to Wario, before Hammer Head could get to him. As Wario was about to take a shot, a giant green shell flew toward him, knocking him sideways.
"What?!" Wario yelled, confused, "Just hit 'em more!"
As Team Shadow kept being knocked off the ball, more and more items kept being thrown, keeping Kritter from doing much.
Eventually, a birdo hit Spike and a giant ice shel floated into the air, and Wario hit Yoshi, and a Yoshi head floated into the air. "Yes!" Yoshi cheered as he ran towards Wario, who had the ball.
Yoshi knocked the ball off Wario, and received the ball. Then he decided to use the item. An egg formed around Yoshi, as Yoshi saw the ball being swallowed into the egg.
"Make way!" Yoshi yelled as he ran over all of Wario's teammates, they being too slow to escape.
Once the shell broke, Yoshi charged for a mega strike. "I think it's safe to say we won." Hammer Head told Spike as Wario's teammates stayed dazed. "Pretty much." Spike replied.
Yoshi burst into the air, the ball with him. He grew wings, and then inhaled a great amount of air. Once he was ready, he blew all the air out at the ball, turning into six balls, all of them flying toward the goal.
"Oh, crap..." Wario's Kritter mumbled.
"What a defeat," Fawful sighed into the mic. "Yoshi defeated Wario, 6-0, with ease." The Team Shadow fans began yelling, "Yoshi!"
*Back in the locker room*
"Alright team!" Yoshi said enthusiastically to his teammates. "That was pretty easy!" Spike told Yoshi. "They weren't thinking at all out there!" Hammer Head laughed. Then, Yoshi turned to Gerald with a disappointed face. "Hey, sorry for not putting you in Gerald." "It's ok!" Gerald replied, "It looked like you guys didn't even need me!" "Yeah they didn't stand a chance." Kritter said to Boocus. "Alright guys let's go back to our hotel to prepare for the next game next week." "Aren't we flying there?" Boocus asked nervously. "Nope! We're facing Waluigi next, and he lost to this team. I excpect a win by seven goals or higher. "Hmph, that doesn't seem like a challenge." Spike said with a hint of ego.
