Mario and Sonic: The Malevolent Wars
CHAPTER 8: TROUBLE ON YOSHI'S ISLAND
Toad Town Docks
"No! Absolutly not!"
"Oh, c'mon Sonic it's just a matter of ten minutes!"
"Ten minutes is enough for me to die!"
"You're overreacting!"
Mario just sighed and facepalmed. He had been listening to Sonic and Tails argue over the ride to Yoshi's Island. They hadn't even left the docks yet and Sonic was already freaking out. Of course he would freak out since he's afraid of water but Yoshi's Island wasn't even that far from Toad Town. In fact, you could see it from the docks right there in the distance. It wouldn't even take that long but explaining that to Sonic was a handful.
"You guys go on but I'm keeping my distance!" Sonic exclaimed. Tails let out an exasperated sigh and facepalmed.
"Sonic, you are going to be on a boat! You won't even need to touch the water! Heck, you can even run on water so why are you afraid?" Tails exclaimed.
"But I still have to look at it!"
"Don't be a baby!"
"Both of you shut up!" Knuckles roared. Sonic and Tails immediatly shut up and glared at each other. Bowser just snorted.
"Huh, looks like somebody lost their cool", the Koopa King said. Knuckles angrily turned towards Bowser.
"Don't you even start! You have no idea what it's like listening to these two!" Knuckles exclaimed.
"I know what it's like with the two of them", Mario said pointing to Starlow and Toadsworth, who were both arguing.
"Can we all just calm down and hurry up before Alpha gets to the emerald?" Sally asked. "Oh chill out Sal, it's not like they know!" Sonic said. Sally raised her eyebrow.
"Really, how do YOU know?" she asked. Sonic tried to say something but stopped. She was right. Eggman put his finger under his chin.
"So what's the plan exactly?" he asked. Nicole suddenly appeared out of nowhere making the doctor jump.
"Some of us are going to collect the emerald at Yoshi's Island and some will stay back to watch over the caste. As for you Bowser, you sent Boshi and the Wario Bros to their first mission already right?" Nicole said.
"Hmph! Obviously, there under my order so they can't mess up!" Bowser exclaimed.
"Yeah right", Luigi muttered. "I also propose another idea" Sally said. Everyone looked at her.
"What is it?" Sonic asked. Sally cleared her throat.
"I don't really feel safe with the Necro Army around so I suggest some of us go back to New Mobotropolis to protect it", she said.
"Then we'll go!" Bunnie exclaimed standing next to Antoine and Rotor.
"Are you sure Bunnie? We could use your help", Peach said. Bunnie waved her off.
"Ah'm good with goin' back. Besides, y'all ready have the power packers here with ya and New Mobotropolis needs someone powerful to protect it", Bunnie said.
"Indeed. Princess, you and Nicole go with zee rest. We are better off going back", Antoine said.
"Well if you guys say so. Just be alright, okay?" Sally said.
"Don't worry about us Sally. We've handled worst situations before. This won't be a trouble at all", Rotor assured. Sally smiled. It was good to have a team like this. Soon, they all hugged goodbye and wished each other good luck. Bunnie, Antoine and Rotor got in Sky Patrol and took off with everyone else waving goodbye. After that was done, they all turned to Peach.
"So, how do we do this?" Sonic asked. Peach pointed to the boat.
"Well for starters, you're going on that whether you like it or not", Peach ordered. "Drat!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Next, I called for someone to assist us on the search. He'll be very helpful to us", Peach said.
"Well where is he?" Yoshi asked. Toadsworth looked at his watch.
"He'll be here in 3...2...1...an-" Toadsworth was cut off by a sudden loud honking of a car. Everyone turned around only to scream and dive out of the way as a car zoomed by them and crashed into the wall.
"W-what the hell was THAT?" Knuckles exclaimed. The driver of the car meekly stepped out.
"Oopsie, my mistake. I crossed the speed limit again", the man said. Mario and Luigi's eyes bugged out when they saw who it was.
"Professor E. Gadd?!" the plumbers exclaimed.
"Oh it's just you", Yoshi said not really surprised. Gadd chuckled. He was a short little old scientist. Probably the finest in the Mushroom Kingdom. Too bad the professor was just as nutty as all the others.
"Greetings Mario Brothers and strange people whom I've never met before", Gadd said.
"Um hello to you too, professor", Tails politely said. Gadd looked at them.
"I've never seen you before. Care to give me an introduction?" Gadd asked. Sonic smirked.
"An introduction? Gladly! I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog the fastest thing alive! Those are my friends Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Cream, Big, Rouge, Sally, Silver and Nicole. And that guy is Dr. Eggbutt aka the best loser there ever is!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Thank you for the info", Eggman grumbled.
"I see. Are you from a different world? I believe I have seen you somewhere", Gadd questioned.
"Professor, that's Sonic and his friends! You know, those guys who Mario always participates with in the Olympics?" a yellow-orange suitcase said.
"Whoa! A talking suitcase! Man, you guys have some crazy stuff in your world!" Silver exclaimed.
"Stuff? Dude, my name is Stuffwell! And I carry stuff inside of me!" the suitcase exclaimed.
"Well that's cool. Anyway princess, these guys are gonna help us?" Amy asked.
"Yes. Professor Gadd's genius can help us get back on track. He's helped us with many different adventures before, isn't that right Luigi?" Starlow said grinning.
"Oh, don't remind me", Luigi shuddered remembering his haunted mansion adventures.
"Alright, that's good. So anyway, are all of us going?" Sally asked.
"No. Some of us need to stay back. We'll make a small group. Let's see..." Peach said wondering who to send.
"Mario and Sonic are obviously going", she said. Both heroes high-fived each other.
"Oh well that's racist", Eggman said.
"How?" Rouge asked.
"Wow Peach. You're letting Mario and that hedgehog go? What about me?!" Bowser exclaimed. Peach thought about it. Bowser was the heavy artillery of the heroes. He was really strong and would be helpful in some ways. But then again, that's where Knuckles came in.
"Knuckles will go", she said. Knuckles grinned and smirked at Sonic, who rolled his eyes.
"Luigi and Yoshi can go", Peach said. Bowser glared at Luigi as he and Yoshi walked by. Luigi immediatly flinched when he caught Bowser's gaze but didn't say anything.
"Sally you can go since you've been wanting to do something for a while. Take Nicole as well", Peach said. Sally and Nicole smirked at Eggman, who was growling as they walked by.
"Ok, Gadd and Stuffwell will help you guys. Starlow, you also go with them to make sure things don't get out of hand", Peach said. Starlow happily flew around Peach and landed on Mario's hat.
"Let's go!" Starlow exclaimed as the group walked to the boat and got on before sailing away. Peach looked at the others.
"Now Tails, you and Eggman try to scan more Chaos Emeralds. And if you can, please try to build more machines to help us", Peach said.
"You can count on me!" Tails exclaimed.
"Oh, so you deprive me of letting me go with them and now you want favors-" Eggman said, but was cut off by Tails dragging him inside. Peach turned to the others.
"Silver, you have those psychic powers. I need you to stay and defend the kingdom. Bowser and Big will be with you as well", she said. Bowser unlike Eggman just grumbled. He would listen to Peach on this one. Silver smiled and flashed a thumbs up while Big just "okay"ed Peach. The Mushroom princess turned to the girls.
"As for you, how about we have some girl time?" Peach asked grinning.
"Of course! We can have some fun and talk gossip!" Amy exclaimed.
"Finally I can just kick back and relax", Rouge said sighing. Cream and Cheese both cheered. They all went inside while Silver, Bowser and Big walked around. Junior looked at Kamek and the Elite Trio.
"Soooo...", Junior said kicking the ground. "What do you wanna do?" he asked. Goomp jumped.
"Hey, we bought our game system along! Wanna play some video games?" Goomp asked.
"Aw yeah! Let's go, four player brawl!" Junior exclaimed running inside with Goomp, Guy and Paraplonk. Kamek just sighed and went after them.
Alpha's Castle
Alpha smirked when he saw the heroes going to Yoshi's Island. It was funny because they thought that they would get the emerald and Alpha wouldn't know about it. But the overlord already did know and had planned ahead. Soon he would have the emerald and all the power.
"Lord Alpha!" Snively exclaimed running up to his master. Alpha looked at Snively, wondering what he had to say now.
"Lord Alpha! We have a problem!" Snively exclaimed. Alpha's eyebrow rose. What problem could have possible interfered with Alpha's plan?
"What is it?" Alpha asked.
"It appears that 3 of Sonic's friends have arrived and defeated Fawful!" Snively exclaimed. Alpha laughed with relief. So that was the problem. Snively was flabbergasted.
"L-Lord A-Alpha, why are you laughing?" Snively asked. Alpha stopped laughing and smirked.
"Because I already know. Remember, I can see them?" he said. Snively "aah"ed in understanding.
"Tell me, anything else?" Alpha asked. Snively shook his head.
"Not really. The others are in the training facility" Snively said. Alpha nodded.
"Good. Keep up the good work", Alpha said. Snively nodded and walked off. Alpha leaned back and relaxed in his chair as he continued to watch the heroes. Snively walked back down the hallway and exited the room before turning a corner and entering another room. Inside, there was loud yelling and cheering. Explosions sounded out throughout the room, yet it was still unharmed. Snively walked inside the training facility and took a seat next to Basilisx.
"Who's winning?" Snively asked. Basilisx turned to him, eyes with excitement.
"Zavok", he answered. "He'ssss ssshowing alot of ssskill in this match. Rookie is losssing badly", Basilisx said. He then held out a bucket of popcorn at Snively.
"Popcorn?" he asked. Snively smirked. "Don't mind if I do!" Snively exclaimed.
"HAAH!" Zavok exclaimed hammering Rookie Bowser with his fist. Rookie lurched back before launching a punch of his own but Zavok grabbed it. Rookie tried to punch Zavok with his other arm but Zavok also grabbed it. Both grappled and tried to push each other off. Rookie was putting up a good fight, but Zavok knew victory was his as he suddenly let out a stream of fire, scorching Rookie and making the Bowser copy let go and reel back in pain. Zavok reared back his arm and moved it in a circular motion powering it up. He then launched it forward, connecting with Rookie's face and sending him spiralling out of the arena. The villains cheered for Zavok, who held both of his fists in the air triumphnatly. Zik hopped up to Zavok.
"Not bad. If you keep on improving, you may be able to best Sonic", Zik said. Zavok nodded and wiped sweat from his forehead. He had knocked Rookie Bowser out hard.
"Wow, what a good show!" Snively exclaimed with Basilisx agreeing. They hadn't seen this much fun in a while.
"With this much firepower", Zik announced making everyone listen. "We'll destroy the heroes!" Zik shouted and everyone in the room roared in excitement.
Toad Town
"Come on! Almost there!" Boshi exclaimed clapping his hands signalling Wario and Waluigi to hurry up.
"pant pant-We're not fast-gasp! And agile like you!" Wario gasped. Boshi just snorted.
"Oh you two are so lazy! Come on!" the dinosaur urged.
"Leave it be, Boshi", Kammy Koopa said next to him, floating on her broom. She looked at the collapsed Wario and Waluigi.
"It's no wonder Mario and Luigi always stop there plans. They're too lazy to even think!" Kammy exclaimed.
"Hey granny! Why don't you shut it already?!" Waluigi exclaimed. "Granny? Even your comebacks are poor just like you!" Kammy retorted.
"Why you-"
"Ah there you are!" Bowser's voice made Wario and Waluigi jump immediatly and stand straight. Bowser came stomping to them with Big and Silver behind.
"Finally. Took you long enough. I mean, how long does it take to steal a bunch of power-ups from the Highlands?!" Bowser exclaimed. Boshi pointed to the plumbers.
"Tell that to these two", he said. Bowser glared at Wario and Waluigi, who were cowering in fear.
"You guys are really slow! Bah! Whatever just gimme the power-ups!" Bowser said. Silver looked at him strangely.
"And just what do you need these for?" he asked suspicious. Bowser snorted.
"We need these. You don't know Alpha like I do. He's definitly not someone you want to mess with", Bowser replied.
"Uh-huh", Silver said, still not sure.
"Don't give me that look. If you want to save your future, then you better start trusting us", Bowser said. "Oh fine", Silver replied.
"Where's Junior?" Boshi asked. Bowser pointed at Peach's Castle.
"He's doing whatever with Kamek and those three bozos. He'll be with you guys on your next job, so take rest there", Bowser instructed.
"Gotcha", Boshi saluted before taking off with Kammy and the Wario Bros following. Bowser smirked and held the bag.
"Hehe, Alpha you're so gonna get it!" Bowser chuckled.
Yoshi's Island, Dino Docks
"And here we are!" Yoshi exclaimed as they reached the docks. The boat parked to the side of a dock and Sonic was the first to bolt off and kiss the ground.
"Sweet mother of chili dogs, FINALLY!" Sonic exclaimed. Knuckles and Mario snickered.
"Looks like someone was having a bad time", Knuckles said grinning earning a glare from Sonic.
"Wow, I haven't been here for a while!", Yoshi exclaimed. Suddenly, the group was greeted by a bunch of different colored Yoshis that came running up to them. They all "Yoshi"ed the main Yoshi, who was chirping happily.
"He looks happy", Sonic said. Mario nodded.
"This is his home. He's been away for a while now, traveling with us that's why", Mario explained. "Ah", Sonic nodded.
"Yoshi, you're back!" a voice called out and soon a large green Yoshi walked up to the group.
"Chief!" Yoshi exclaimed. Chief Yoshi smiled happily at him. He then looked at the others.
"Oh, Mario and Luigi! Who are your friends?" Chief asked. Mario quickly introduced Sonic, Knuckles and Sally to Chief who kindly greeted them.
"It's nice to meet you too!" Sally exclaimed. Chief motioned for them to follow.
"Come, come! Let me show you around. You'll love it here!" Chief exclaimed. The group followed him and the Mobians were amazed at the sight. Yoshi's Island was definity known for its beauty. Chief led them to a large shack near a beach area. He sat down on a comfy chair and told the others to sit down.
"So tell me, what brings you to the island?" Chief asked.
"Well you see..." Gadd explained the whole story to Chief, who was listening seriously.
"And that is why we need the Chaos Emerald", Gadd said. Chief nodded.
"You know how to find it?" Chief asked.
"Of course!" Starlow piped up. "We have a machine to help us track it down!" Starlow said.
"And the sooner we find it, the better", Sonic added. Chief nodded.
"Feel free to look around anywhere. Like I said, any friend of Yoshi is a friend of ours", Chief said.
"Thank you sir!" Stuffwell exclaimed. Chief beckoned for a nearby Yoshi to get some refreshments for the heroes. Soon, everyone was just relaxing and drinking some fresh fruit juice.
"This is so good!" Luigi exclaimed. Mario smirked.
"Luigi, I thought you liked tea", Mario said. "Yeah, but I also like this", Luigi replied.
"Oh man, I haven't had some juice for a while!" Yoshi exclaimed taking a huge sip.
"So everyone, after we finish we go find that emerald and then we could relax here for a while! How's that sound?" Sonic asked. Everyone agreed.
"Sounds good to me. I really would like to kick back and relax here", Knuckles said.
"Good job Sonic, you finally came up with a good idea!" Sally grinned.
"Ah shut up, Sal" Sonic replied. Chief smiled broadly.
"You are welcome to stay as long as you like, friends!" Chief exclaimed.
"Oh we will", Starlow said. "Yup!" Mario agreed.
"Hey, do you have more juice-" Luigi was cut off by a blue Yoshi suddenly bursting inside screaming, making Luigi flail back and fall down.
"Help! Some random armored Koopas are attacking the village!" the blue Yoshi shouted. Mario's eyes widened and he looked at Sonic, who was confused.
"Random armored Koopas?" he asked bewildered. As far as he knew, the only person who had Koopa troops was Bowser and he was on the heroes side right?
"Trust me, you're not going to like this guy!" Mario exclaimed bolting out the door, with Sonic shrugging and following behind with Knuckles and Sally. Gadd and Stuffwell stayed behind and Starlow took off wanting to see what was going on. Chief looked at Yoshi, who was scowling.
"Y-Yoshi", Chief asked. "Those guys are attacking my home? I won't let them!" Yoshi exclaimed dashing out the door.
"Ohhh..." Luigi moaned before frantically running after the others.
"What happened now?" Stuffwell asked. Gadd shrugged.
"Probably those bad guys again. Chief, I suggest we let the heroes handle this one!" Gadd said.
"Y-yes, if you say so", Chief said worriedly.
"But random armored Koopas?" Stuffwell asked. Gadd frowned.
"That only makes me think of ONE guy", the nutty professor said.
