Yoshi woke up with pain coming from his neck.

He saw that the slit wound was covered by a couple of bandages wrapped around. The wound was bleeding through the bandage wrap.

"I see you're awake.", Jonathan said as he saw the young dinosaur waking up.

"What on earth?", Yoshi wondered as he looked at his surroundings.

He and the man appear to be in some sort of dark and abandoned place. What the dinosaur didn't knew is that they're in the old factory.

A very worried, and scared look appeared on his face. "What do you plan on doing with me?"
Jonathan sighed, having a sad look. "They told me to bring you here. But I took you to this spare room in the factory." He regretted on everything he'd done to the Smashers that he killed. He was forced to in order to keep his wife, his son, and himself alive. If he doesn't kill the smashers, they would've killed him and his family. Eventually he thought: is there a point in doing this anymore? The man wanted to sacrifice his and his family's life in order to keep the other smashers alive.

"Last year.", Jonathan started. "I decided to help your friends. Nana and Popo. But they chose not to use my help, and I watched them fall to their death. I'm sorry for your loss."

Yoshi couldn't believe it! The dino was mad and sad at the same time. Mad 'cause he thought that Jonathan was the person that 'killed' Nana and Popo, but sad 'cause the mad statement was false.

Jonathan put cupped his hands on Yoshi's cheeks. "I was forced to do all that." He looked at the dinosaur, remembering about his own son in the past years.

He remembered the time where he yelled at his son just for having asperger syndrome. All those things he said to him all those years.

Tears slowly fell down his face. Just by killing, and now torturing the smashers felt like himself abusing his son in the past.

"Sir? Are you okay?"

Jonathan sighed as he said, "Please. Stay here. No one ever enters this room other then me. It's for your own good." He left, locking the door just in case anyone will come in.

Yoshi's not sure on what to do now. He needs to tell the other smashers about this! The dinosaur spotted a vent close by, as he quietly went into it.

While crawling in them, Yoshi could've sworn he saw a few spirits wandering around, making him shiver a bit.

Then he heard quiet whimpers coming from a different room.

"Thanks for bringing the puffball here.", said Nick. "Go back to the basement in the lounge back in Smashville. Torture him 'til he's completely broken!"

Jonathan nodded as he left the room.

Yoshi waited 'til Nick left the room as when, before jumping out of the vent, and into the room. The dinosaur spotted Kirby beaten up very bad.

So much guilt was rubbed all over Yoshi, just by seeing the puffball in that condition. "Oh my fucking gosh! I'm so sorry I let this happen to you!", he whimpered. "I'm so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so sorry!"

"It's fine.", Kirby said with pain in his voice. "You didn't knew."

"But it is my fault! I wasn't that much of help to you!" The dinosaur untied the puffball as he started to carry Kirby on his back, horse style. "Let's go back. Just get some rest, I'll handle this."

Kirby nodded, as he started rest sleep like a sweet little baby.

Yoshi climbed back into the vent, going back to where he came from.

It was going well at first, but just by seeing spirits made him yelp out in fear as he speed crawled in the vent.

People all over the factory heard him, as he finally reached the spare room with a crash! onto the cold floor.

"Ugh… Me and my green ass.", the dinosaur muttered, trying to keep Kirby from getting hurt. He laid the puffball carefully onto the chair as if he's putting down a hurt baby animal. After that he checked his saddle looking shell. "Well that's the thirteenth time it broke.", he said as he spots a small crack.

Kirby was shivering through the cold aircon. As he tried to tried to rest, but screamed out in fear as his eyes shot open. He started to breathe heavily, as if there was no air at all in the room.

"Kirby what's wrong?", Yoshi asked.

The puffball hugged the dinosaur in response. Crying on his chest.

More sadness filled the dino's heart. Now having full regret in it, heavy with guilt.

Then he heard someone crawling the ventilation shaft.

"PlEasE heLp uS!"

"GeT Us oUT oF hErE!"

"DoN'T lEt thEM TAke yoU!"

Yoshi hid under the table as cold sweat fell down his face. 'Why do those voices sound familiar?', he thought.

"Yoshi?", Kirby whispered. "What's going on? I just want to go home."

The dinosaur sighed and said, "I don't know. I don't, I don't know."
