The Yoshi group slowly approached the city, where it became calm again. They all looked at each other puzzled at the fact that all was quiet once again, so suddenly.
"I dunno. This is really strange." Nat continued on.
"C'mon Nat. Don't be such a worry wart. Nothing is going to happen." Nobi said. They walked into the city. Things looked normal, except for the occasional nervous Yoshi passing by, looking all around him carefully. It was obvious something horrible happened, but the Yoshis couldn't put their finger on it. They shrugged, and turned around to leave. Then they began looking around them frantically, themselves, but for a whole different reason.
"Oh my gosh! Where is Yoshida?!" Nat exclaimed. "I knew it! I knew this wasn't such a good idea! I told…."
"Alright, let's stay calm. She could be anywhere around here. She probably walked into one of those stores. You know she is a curious Yoshi who wants to learn." Sashi interrupted, in hopes that what she said was true.
That's when they heard a roar then a scream from the entranced they entered from.
"Oh no!" Yoshiko said. As they ran to the entrance, they overheard the conversation between Sir and Erick with Yoshida yelling.
"Get off of me, Sir!!" Yoshida yelled.
"Aww, what ever happened to 'daddy'?" Sir asked. "C'mon Erick, she is breaking lose of my grip! Did you find it yet?"
"Hold on! I found it!" Erick said. "Hold her still!"
"I'm holding, I'm holding." Sir said, with a little strain in his voice. The Yoshis finally got to the entrance and saw the scene. Sir had Yoshida's arms locked behind her. She was kicking with all her might, but was failing miserably. Erick held onto one of the struggling Yoshi's arms, and stabbed her with a syringe filled with tranquilizer. She screamed one last time, then slowly went to sleep. Sir loosened his grip and let the Yoshi fall to the ground.
"Mission accomplished." Sir said proudly. "We finally got our Yoshi back, and I will never let her leave again!"
"Glad that is over." Erick said with a yawn.
"It's not over yet!" A voice said filled with rage. Sir looked towards the voice and found five growling Yoshis staring furiously at him. He chuckled.
"Well, well, well. Look at what we have here, Erick. A bunch of little hatchlings thinking they could beat someone like me for a Yoshi not worth saving."
"You had your fun with her! Now leave her alone! She went through a lot with you!" Nat yelled.
"Who do you think you are? Yoshida is MY Yoshi. I raised her since she was hatched. I am not going to give up MY Yoshi to ANYONE! She is an example to those who plan on attacking me like one of her ancestors! She is my trophy showing my victory over that family. I have a right to her!" Sir said.
"You don't have a right to torment ANY living being whether you "took care" of her or not. You have no right to hurt her at all. She shouldn't bear the punishment for something a family member did. That is inhumane! You do NOT have the right!" Sashi said.
"Who said she is being punished for what her family did? You're right! It is inhumane to have someone else bear the punishment for another person, especially unwillingly. Her family got their punishment. For some reason, I spared her as an egg. I am not punishing her for her family's actions." Sir said.
"Then why do you do this to her?" Nobi asked.
"Because she is MY Yoshi; I could do whatever I want with her. I tried being nice when she was little. All I ask is that she would listen to Erick or me, but she doesn't. And when you disobey your parents, don't you get punished?"
"Not this harshly." Nat replied.
"We all have our ways." Sir said. He picked the sleeping Yoshi up and held her. "C'mon Erick. I am done. This is conversation is going nowhere."
The fight began. Nat didn't like how Sir just turned away, and head butted him in the shell, causing Sir to stumble.
"You wanna fight? Don't tell me you're SERIOUS!" Sir exclaimed. He got his answer from the facial expressions from the Yoshis. "Alright!" He blew a huge flame that hit them all. They all fell to the ground in a faint, and Erick gathered them up.
"That was easier than stealing berries from a hatchling" Sir chuckled.

They got back to the castle, and Erick placed the Yoshi crew in a cage in the den. Sir placed Yoshida on the couch, and covered her. She smiled at the warmth, and held onto the blanket. Nat was slowly recovering from the unexpected attack from Sir, and slowly sat up. He looked around him at an unfamiliar setting, and shivered.
"Oh no." He whispered to himself. "This is Sir's house? Wow pretty neat for a koopa." He smiled to himself, trying to ease up the situation.
An hour later, the whole crew regained composure and were huddled together forming a plan to get out of there. Yoshida still hasn't woken up, and was now holding onto the corner of the blanket, which was on the floor. She twitched and turned over. Nat looked at her.
Sir walked in, and noticed the Yoshis were up. He looked at them and chuckled, then walked into the kitchen. He soon returned with a tray of fruit, and gave it to them.
"Here you go weaklings" He chuckled some more. He then turned towards Yoshida. He picked her up, and brought her down the basement.
Nat looked at the other Yoshis, and then down at the food that looked a bit bruised and old.
"Did any of you want this?" He asked making a face. The others shook their head.
"Nat, are we going to get out of here?" Nobi asked, sounding like he was about to cry. Summer scooted over to him, and held him.
"Yes Nobi, we will." He said, a bit unsure. He sat there pondering. What abilities did they have that could help them? Well, Sashi and himself were counted out. All they could do was fly. It could come in handy later, but they needed to get out of this cage first. Summer and Yoshiko had flames. Could they melt the bars? Sir was probably a step ahead of them though. He captured a lot of different Yoshis in his time, and probably had the bars 'melt-proof'. Then he thought some more. A combination of things might work. The flames might make the bars at least weak. No metal bar could be THAT strong against flames, considering the fact that flames helped form bars. If they could weaken the bars, then Nobi could bend them. He could be quite strong if you get him angry enough.
"That's it!" Nat exclaimed.
"What's it?" Yoshiko asked.
"I have a plan!" Nat said looking around to see if anyone would over hear him. "Tonight, when everyone is asleep, we are going to escape. I will need Summer and Yoshiko to burn the bars. Get them as hot as you can. And Nobi, I need you to bend them apart with all your might!" He said.
"Ok, but I have a question. How am I going to bend them if they are hot?" Nobi asked
"Hmm." Nat looked around. There was a blanket on the floor. He grabbed it. "You will place this around your hands."
"Ok."
"Seems too easy." Sashi said. She was sitting in the corner silently crying.
"Anything is worth a try."
"But what if we get caught?"
"Think positive Sashi. We have no time to think the worst! Unless you wanna stay in this horrid place, I suggest we at least give it a try."
"Fine, Fine. But what about Yoshida?"
"I dunno. We will try to escape with her, but if we fail to help her,. We will be back for her later. I will NOT leave her here for long!" Nat said clenching his fists.

Night came, and it was time for Sir's favorite show. As he came up from the basement, he looked at the Yoshis. Sir walked over to the cage , still looking.
"Well, it is bed time for you guys." He said as he went for a maroon wrap-around curtain on the side of the cage.
"Where is Yoshida?" Nat asked.
"Why?" Sir asked. "It really is none of your business."
"I am just curious."
"She is spending the night down the basement. Now, your making me miss my show! Good night!" He said. He slid the curtain all around the cage.
Summer lit the dark area with a flame. They could hear the show, and Sir laughing from outside.
"That show doesn't sound funny!" Sashi commented.
"Down the basement! That doesn't sound too good. Bad things happen down the basement!" Nobi said shivering and looking left to right nervously.
"We will get her! Don't worry! As soon as the big brute goes to bed!" Nat said.
"I dunno. This is really strange." Nat continued on.
"C'mon Nat. Don't be such a worry wart. Nothing is going to happen." Nobi said. They walked into the city.
