Trouble On Yoshi's Island
Chapter 1
It was always a nice neighborhood at Yoshi's Island. Underwater, that is. Let me introduce myself. I'm a rare Yoshi. One that loves the water. In other words, a Water Yoshi. When Water Yoshi's are born, the only way you can tell it's a Water Yoshi, is by looking at it's tail. Sure, the tail would be normal, but the end of the tail would be like a mermaid's.
They can also breathe underwater, and the air. They can breathe underwater without gills. Water Yoshi's are both unique and rare. My name? It's Sapphire, although most of my friends and family call me Rainstar. My name is Sapphire because of the two Sapphire diamonds on the end of my tail. So on with the story.
It was a nice day. Of course, I was underwater, living in the ocean right next to Yoshi's Island. I decided to come up to the surface to see what was happening. When I swam up to the shore, I could see my two sisters and brother playing around.
As I got up out of the water, I left my tail in the water, and signaled my siblings over. I knew exactly what I was going to do, since my siblings hated water. As soon as they ran over, I lashed my tail out at them, and splashed a bunch of water on them.
"Rainstar! That's not nice!" my younger brother, Lava said. "You were covered in mud, anyway." I replied, "So, what have you been up to lately?" "You know we hate getting splashed, Rainy, so don't change the subject." My younger sister, Suri butted in. "Okay, okay, don't make such a big deal out of it."
I walked toward my older sister, Rosa. I saw the expression on her face, and immediately knew something was wrong. "What's the matter?" I asked in a worried voice. "Nothing." Rosa replied, and she turned quickly away from me. "Tell me." I said gently but firmly. "No, nothing's wrong." She said in an extremely worried voice.
"Tell me, now. Something's wrong, and I know it." I said assertively. Rosa stopped to think. "Okay," Rosa finally said, "I was walking in the woods, a few miles from here, when I heard a few voices talking. They sounded worried, and said something about us being the closest village to theirs, and about a surprise attack by water ways. I didn't know what to do, so I ran home, and didn't tell anyone."
I replied, "Well, I would've seen something if the attack was coming by water. What is the closest village to this one?" "I believe it's Clear Waters. Remember the Cheep-Cheeps there? There was a Great War not long ago, and we then decided to live in peace after the war. Next week is the 25th year of us living in peace without one conflict." Rosa said.
"You're too smart. Their village is about 250 miles from this village, right?" I asked. "Yep," Rosa replied. "Who is the current leader of Clear Waters?" I asked, knowing that I haven't studied the surrounding areas.
"I believe it's your old enemy, Relgan. The old leader was killed about a year ago." Rosa answered. "Great. He's the one that thinks Cheep- Cheeps should be evil, right?" I needed to know. Rosa answered quickly, "Yeah, most Cheep-Cheeps are against him, but since he's the leader now, they can do nothing." "Then we will."
"What? Are you crazy?!" Rosa exclaimed. "No, I'm not crazy. I just know that I am not going to watch my village get attacked." I answered her worried question. "We'll get killed! Relgan's had a year to train his armies! We haven't had a split second to even look for strong Yoshis! We're as good as dead!" Rosa said, panicked. "Shut it! We'll gather up all the volunteers that want to go. Okay? " I said calmly.
"Okay," Rosa said, stunned. "Now, first, you're coming, right?" I asked Rosa. "Yeah, I'm always on your side, lil' sis." Rosa replied. "Good, now, Lava! Suri! Come over here!" I yelled over to them. They ran over.
"Whacha want, Rainstar?" Lava asked. "Do you want to come with me and Rosa to stop an attack?" I asked him. "Yeah! Yeah!" Suri said, in her cute voice. She was the youngest of the family, along with her twin brother that I didn't know to well.
"Okay, so, we have four in our group so far. maybe we could use one more." I said, just as a silver Yoshi walked past us. "Hey, um. Silver Yoshi!" I exclaimed. The silver Yoshi turned and faced me. "My name's Mist. Yes?" The silver Yoshi said in a female voice.
"Yeah, um, there's supposed to be a surprise attack on this village. Would you like to help stop it? We only need one more person to come with us." Rosa explained. "Sure, I'd be glad to help." Mist said.
So that's how it all started. Just like that. We didn't even know the silver Yoshi, and yet, she joined so quickly, you would've never expected it from a stranger. All we had to do was explain the situation to her. Later, we found out that she already knew us.
