The Aftermath

Mario sat up from bed and looked at his shoulder. It was neatly bandaged. He took a few steps and his feet felt fine but his shoulder still ached. Without even getting properly dressed he left his room with just his farmer jeans on. He walked out of the fortress and stood by the entrance gate for some fresh air. He heard the sound of thudding feet in the distance. Mario called up to the look out "Hey you! throw me your binoculars". The look out did so and Mario took a look. He was right he saw two riders heading for the fortress. Mario told the lookout to assemble a welcoming party. Mario along with 3 koopas stood at the gate until Luigi and the other soldier arrived. They then helped them inside. Everyone was curious as to what happened at Bowser's castle. Mario asked the first question, 'Where are the others?" Luigi stood there and shook his head, "They are all dead, same for Bowser and his troops. That castle is a massacre area." The last of the soldiers knew what had happened to their commander Koopz. Luigi stated "In the throne room was where the final battle took place. By that time there were only 4 of us left and Bowser still had 5 elite soldiers. We took them in the end it was Bowser and I. Koopz had gotten stabbed in the stomach but right when Bowser was about to finish me he threw me his sword. If it weren't for Koopz, Bowser would've won." Mario then replied "What about the Princess Luigi? Is she okay? Where is she?" Luigi looked at Mario "Um I don't know perhaps we should go back and check the dungeon. I wanted to get this wounded man over here as fast as possible. Mario Luigi and a few soldiers saddled up and rode back to Bowser's keep.
They got there by late afternoon. Mario walked through the gate and saw all the dead bodies. The soldiers pulled out their shovels and got to work on the graves. Mario and Luigi continued inside. Mario saw Koopz and said sadly "What a waste." Mario went into the basement dungeon. "Where could she be?" Mario questioned himself. Luigi then came down the stairs. "Princess Peach! Are you in here?" he called out. Mario shook his head "Perhaps she got out on her own?" he suggested. A skeleton jumped out of nowhere and took a swipe at Mario with a rusty sword. Mario ducked and the skeleton retreated a bit. Then again out of nowhere another figure jumped the skeleton. The figured looked like a pink ninja. The ninja stabbed the skeleton with 2 daggers but seemed to not affect it. The skeleton swiped and missed again. The ninja jumped up behind it and stabbed it toward the top of the spine and decapitated it. The ninja then stepped forward and took off her hood and her blond hair flowed freely out. Mario and Luigi amazed gasped "Peach? What in the." Peach quickly explained "I managed to escape from my cell a few days ago. That dungeon keeper and I had been hunting each other. This dungeon is so large and fairly dark. We couldn't find each other. When we did, usually we both retreated." "But how did you get all that equipment?" Mario said still wondering. "When I first escaped I got lucky and found the armory down here. I have become quite a ninja huh?" Peach finished. Mario then concluded "Well, I guess we can go home now. I'm just glad your okay."
At the Mushroom Castle a week later after the battle at Bowser's castle. There was a ceremony for the heroes of Mushroom kingdom. Peach rewarded Mario and Luigi each a medal. Luigi stepped up to the podium. "I do not deserve this medal. I owe it to a brave captain named Koopz. He was the leader of what we now call the Yoshi Cavalry unit! Sadly most of this unit was killed along with its captain. If it were not for Koopz throwing me his sword when I was fighting Bowser, I wouldn't have won. So I dedicate this medal to Koopz, A brave and noble captain. The people cheered and Luigi left the stage. Mario then stepped up to the podium. "I'd also like to mention a few shy guys who helped us along the way. They showed us that Bowser was using them for his own evil purposes. Each of the shy guys gave his life for our cause. I'm just sorry so few of us survived this. My sincere apologies go out to the families of these brave shy guys." Mario then left the podium in the opposite direction Luigi had left. Then everyone else departed from the main courtyard of the castle. Mario and Luigi rode over to Bowser's keep one last time that night, along with the remaining members of the Yoshi Cavalry unit. Mario and Luigi stooped at Koopz's grave and put their medals down next to it. And then Luigi inscribed into the grave, "the real hero of the Yoshi Cavalry Unit'
The Yoshi Cavalry Unit was disbanded and they all went their separate ways. Mario and Luigi continued to serve and protect Princess Peach at the castle. No one really knows what happened to those last 5 or 6 soldiers of the unit. Most of them were never heard from again.
A/N: This concludes the short lived story of the Yoshi Cavalry unit. I hope you enjoyed it. Farewell friends and thanx for the support.
