Chapter 18: The Legend Of The Jewel Tribe

First, before I begin I'd like to thank Silver Yoshi for letting me use half of the stuff in this chapter.
(It was morning now. Luigi woke up and saw Pinky, Yosheta, Mini Bluey, and Blacky talking by the river. Everyone else was asleep.)
Blacky: It's not true! It's just a mere myth!
Mini Bluey: No he isn't! He's real!
Pinky: There's no such thing!
Mini Bluey: But me and Whitey saw him with our very own eyes!
Luigi: What's up?
Yosheta: Dad says he saw a silver yoshi, but mom and Blacky say there's no such thing.
Blacky: I didn't say there's no such thing. I said it's part of a myth.
Luigi: Myth? I didn't know there were yoshi myths.
Blacky: Here. Sit down here. Mini Bluey, wake up everyone.
(Mini Bluey does as he was told. Now everyone was sitting around Blacky.)
Blacky: Mysterious music please.
(Mario took out his CD player and replaced the headphones with a pair of speakers, then he pressed a button. The CD player starts to play the cave theme from Super Mario 64.)
Blacky: I...ahem...suppose this works. Thank you.
Mario: You're welcome.
Blacky: And now I shall tell you the legend of...the Jewel Tribe...
(Luigi paid very close attention to Blacky.)
Blacky: Ahem...one day long, long ago there were four Yoshi Gods.
Luigi: There are Yoshi Gods?
Blacky: It is said that there is. Anyway, they were Whitedust, Blackdust, Stardust, and Rainbow. They made a herd or tribe of beautifully colored yoshis. They weren't basic colors like yellow or blue...
Yellowy & Bluey: Hey!
Blacky: Sorry. No offense or anything. Back to where I was, they were colors such as ruby, pearl, and, as Mini Bluey claims to have seen, silver. As beautiful as they were, Rainbow believed they were too powerful and wanted them to be destroyed.
Luigi: Oh dear...
Blacky: The Jewel Tribe were native to Crystal Island. The kings of the island were Goldendale the gold yoshi and Silverstone the silver yoshi. Compared to us, the Jewel Tribe had hard lives. Their main goal was to find the Yoshi Gods that created them.
Luigi: That's a pretty big goal...
Blacky: But Crystal Island can be a dangerous place. Chaos, the black diamond yoshi, keeps trying to steal their precious crystal that they need.
Luigi: Black diamond yoshi? Crystal?
Blacky: Um...the crystal is their food supply. Instead of eating fruit, the Jewel Tribe eat crystals. The crystal gives them food. If it is taken, they die.
Luigi: So that's why they can't let Chaos have it. They starve without it. But what happens when they find all the Yoshi Gods?
Blacky: Alas...even I don't know. Like I said, it's just a myth so I'm not sure if it's true. You may now turn the music off, Mario.
(Mario pushes a button on the CD player and the music stopped.)
Mario: Got it.
Sushie: (to herself) Wouldn't da yoshis on Lavalava Island love to hear that story...
Mini Bluey: Well, back to the search.
Luigi: Huh? Where are you going?
Mini Bluey: To find Silverstone. I know I saw him. I even touched him. I know he's not a myth if I can touch him. I'm going now. Bye.
(Mini Bluey left the cave.)
Pinky: Oh no! Mini Bluey's being foolish again.
Mario: Hmm...looks like a yoshi version of Kolorado.
Sushie: Ya got the right, Mario.
Luigi: I'm going after his light blue tail whether he likes it or not.
Purpley: Oh Luigi. Before you go...
(Purpley kissed Luigi.)
Luigi: Purpley, do you mind... (quickly) Here I go!
(Luigi dashes out of the cave. Everyone looks at Purpley.)
Purpley: What? I thought it might help.
(Mini Bluey was climbing up the mountain, following the river. Luigi was just behind him.)
Mini Bluey: (muttering) Blacky thinks he's so smart. I'll show him! I'll show all of them! Silverstone is real. I even touched him. I'll find him and-
Luigi: (quickly) Hey Mini Bluey! Wait up!
Mini Bluey: Huh?
(Luigi climbed up to where Mini Bluey was.)
Mini Bluey: What are you doing here?
Luigi: (quickly) Obviously, I'm trying to get you back to the cave.
Mini Bluey: You don't believe me either, do you?
Luigi: (quickly) I dunno. I'm just doing what's best for you.
Mini Bluey: I don't believe this! You don't think I'm telling the truth either! I'm gonna find Silverstone and bring him to the cave so everyone can see him.
Luigi: (quickly) Where was the last place you saw him? Maybe that will help.
Mini Bluey: He was at the beginning of the river. C'mon! This way!
(So Luigi and Mini Bluey hiked upstream, heading to the top of the mountain. They passed a few cascades along the way and soon they came to...a...huge...waterfall. By now, the effect of Purpley's kiss had worn off.)
Luigi: Is this where the river starts?
Mini Bluey: Yes. Silverstone should be right up there.
Luigi: I hope you're right...
(Luigi and Mini Bluey started to climb the steep rocks by the waterfall. Mini Bluey, being the determined yoshi that he is, climbed quite quickly while Luigi tagged behind. Mini Bluey climbed onto a ledge and disappeared from Luigi's sight. When he climbed up the ledge himself, he looked around in awe. There was a rather large lake of water that eventually turns into the waterfall. Standing near it were two yoshis. One was Mini Bluey, but the other one was new to Luigi. It had a silvery color to it and it shone when the sunlight hit it just right. When Luigi walked up to them, they both saw him and waved.)
Mini Bluey: Oh there you are, Luigi. This is Silverstone.
Silverstone: Greetings. You appear to be pleasant. My name is Silverstone and I come from Crystal Island.
Luigi: Holy crap...
