She looked around the large fortress. Inside was what she sought, but if they failed how could she possibly hope to succeed? Bombs surrounded the large fortress and rain was heavy. But somehow she had to get inside. She had no idea what she was looking for, but she had to get inside!
Before she had time to think of a way in her back was heated up tremendously and she flew face first into the ground. She managed to pry herself up and look t what had happened.
She saw the dark face of the guard who had thrown the explosive. He was now running at her. She thought she saw another dark figure behind him, but it must've just been her eyes tricking herself. It was gone and there was no waiting now; she had to get inside that fortress.
She ran furiously to the gate, just making it before the guard caught up to her. Explosive shook around her and chained guards snapped at her feet as she made her way inside. She couldn't give up now she'd made it this far.
Within seconds of entering the fortress guards surrounded her from all sides. They had her pinned up against a wall and in a matter of seconds she would be theirs, just like the rest who had tried and failed.
No!
She grabbed onto a vine hanging from the side of the brick wall and climbed furiously up to the window far up high on the tower. From there she'd be able to make her way towards whatever it was seek was seeking.
The guards slowly followed her up the tower, but they didn't have a chance of catching her. She was almost to the top. She could see the window. All she had to do was climb up a little further-
A dark figure appeared in the window. It was him! He smiled an evil smile and showed his vicious teeth. She looked helplessly. She was far too high up to jump back down and she couldn't climb into his grasp-
He didn't give her another moment of thought. He sliced through the vines and she fell down, down, down! Beneath her was hard ground and she couldn't just defy the laws of gravity. She'd failed, just like the others. There was no hope left.

Don't give up!

Peach was extremely nervous when she awoke violently like that. Her entire body was moistened by sweat and her hair was just atrocious. There's nothing to be afraid of, she told herself. Her castle was under the protection of Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi. Even that strange doctor clone of Mario, Dr. Mario, and that other princess Daisy could be called upon if needed.
She herself wasn't completely helpless. She was athletic and heroic in her own right, and she had her trusted adviser Toad to protect her when all else failed. Speaking of Toad, where was he? He usually kept a close watch on her during the night and always rushed right in when she awoke during the night.
Perhaps he fell asleep. He needs it after all. Peach didn't think anyone else in all of Mushroom Kingdom could possibly do the job he did and he deserved rest just like the rest of them.
Calmed by the thought of her sidekick enjoying himself, she got out of bed and head for a kitchen so she could get a glass of water. He throat was screaming for liquid. After that she decided it would be best to try and get more rest. She'd go she Mario and the others in the morning and see how her kingdom is fairing.

Yoshi was awake before Mario and Luigi like usual. Those plumber brothers didn't need all the food he did in order to stay fit. He needed apples. and oranges. and bananas. and nuts, and pears, and berries, and trees, and grass, and lobsters, and a cake! He began to drool at the thought of all the food he would eat this morning.
The small green dinosaur jumped in glee when he came across a vegetable garden. They wouldn't mind if he had one. or twenty. He stuck out his long tongue and began to pluck the vegetables out of the ground. No egg was produce by these; he needed food, not protection.
After finishing the garden he traveled around snatching up the occasional mushrooms. He missed the abundance of apples he enjoyed on his homeland Yoshi's Island. There was just something about eating fungi that he just didn't like. Maybe it was that weird feeling it left in his stomach or maybe the fact they made him grow twice his size sometimes. Every once in a while he'd eat a poison mushroom and there was nothing more disturbing than being tiny.
The sun was beginning to raise so Yoshi decided to finish his breakfast and head back to Mario. He walked happily down his secret feeding path when he heard voices-dangerous voices. Yoshi walked closer and peered through the bushes to see four figures speaking together. He recognized them all. The big one was the Koopa King himself, Bowser. One his left was a ghost Boo and one his left was a red winged turtle, a Paratroopa. Opposite of Bowser looked similar to Yoshi's friend Mario, but he had a yellow shirt, purple pants, and yellow hat, a sharper mustache, and he was significantly fatter. Wario.
"You infiltrate the castle and get us in, and we'll take care of the rest," Bowser told Wario. Bowser voice extremely deep and he basically roared when he talked. Wario laughed maniacally.
"Easy enough. Just remember, I want the castle in tact. It is to be mine once you get the princess, understand?"
"Don't patronize me, coward," Bowser roared.
"I meant no disrespect, King Koopa, I just want to make sure I get my end of the deal," Wario stammered. His mustache twitched when he looked at the giant lizard.
"King Bowser, would you like for me to prepare the trap?" Boo asked as he did a flip in the air. Yoshi found it disturbing every time he saw one of the transparent ghosts. He just didn't like being able to see through someone who could eat. It was just too strange.
"Of course!" Bowser roared. "The princess shall be mine, and those plumbers boys won't stand a chance!" This sent a chill down Yoshi's spine. He had to warn someone!
He ran off down his path as fast as his little red shoes would take him. The castle wasn't very far from here, and Mario would surely believe him. It was just a matter of getting there and preparing before the Koopas arrived.
Yoshi scrambled past the drawbridge and headed straight for the room he left Mario in. When he opened the door the room was empty. He checked in Luigi's room, and it too was empty. Where was everyone?
Yoshi headed to find Toad. He always knew where everyone was. Yoshi found Toad's room easily, but it too was empty. The only place left was Peach's-
"Where's Yoshi?" he heard from on the other side of the castle. He could hear his name from Mario's mouth wherever he was. Yoshi sped quickly and found where everyone was.
"Mario!" Yoshi said lightly. He wasn't very good at talking, but he'd grown to it better than any of the other Yoshis. He jumped on top of Mario and licked his cheek.
"Yoshi, where have you been? We have big news!" Mario exclaimed. Yoshi looked around to see everyone around here. There was Peach and Toad, Mario and Luigi, and Mario's clone, Dr. Mario.
"Hm?" Yoshi questioned.
"There's going to be a big tournament, and we're all going to go," Luigi explained. "We'll leave in just a few minutes. The portal to the world N'A-S is open, and we were just waiting on you. The winner gets anything he or she wants." This made Yoshi perk up. Anything? He could have unlimited food! This was one tournament he was going to win.
The excitement was quickly diminished when Yoshi remembered what he learned.
"Bowser! Wario! Coming soon!" Yoshi yelped.
"Impossible," Toad told him. "No one could-" he stopped abruptly. "They're here now. There!" Toad pointed up in a tower. Wario had transformed into a bat and flown in and Bowser had used a Koopa clown car.
"Bowser!" Mario exclaimed.
"Oh no!" Peach put her hands up to her cheeks in astonishment. It was just as she feared.
"Anything, you say?" Bowser roared. "I'm going in." Bowser jumped off the clown car and landed between Mushroom Kingdom's heroes and the portal. He then jumped through the painting and Wario soon followed.
"We have to follow them!" Dr. Mario ordered. "We can't let them win that tournament." There was no argument there and soon everyone had jumped in the painting and headed for N'A-S.
