"Wait!" Mario yelled as Yoshi ran at him.
"What?" Yoshi asked, skidding to a stop a few feet away from Mario.
"How did you survive that fall? You should have been fried." Mario said, lowering his fists.
"I stuck out my tongue and stuck it to the edge of the arena and I brought myself back up." Yoshi said smiling.
"Not bad." Mario said.
"You bet it's not." Yoshi said gloatingly.
"Well if you're going to be so cocky, then I'll have to change the arena a little." Mario said, smirking.
"Change the arena? How do you plan on doing that?" Yoshi asked, a little confused by Mario's comment.
"Like this." Mario said. He jumped into the and fired a giant fireball into the center of the arena, breaking it into five smaller pieces. The shaking of the arena knocked Yoshi onto his back and Mario landed on a piece away from Yoshi.
"Not bad, but I'll still beat you." Yoshi said, getting back to his feet.
"Yoshi, we don't know what this new Mario is capable of. I don't think he was using his full strength on me, so watch out!" Luigi yelled from the sidelines, holding a coke and a big soft pretzel.
"Okay Luigi, I'll be careful!" Yoshi yelled back.
"Well can we start the fight already?" Mario asked.
"You're the one who keeps delaying it!" Yoshi yelled at him.
"So? Let's really start the fight this time." Mario replied.
"Okay." Yoshi said.
"Then let's start." Mario replied.
"GO!" They both yelled again, signaling the start of the fight.
Yoshi began jumping from platform to platform, avoiding Mario at all costs. Mario may have been evil, but Yoshi's best friend was still in that brainwashed head. Mario jumped clear across two platforms in one bound and brought his fist down on Yoshi's head, knocking him strait down. Yoshi jumped back to his feet and whacked Mario in the back on his knees with his tail, making him collapse to the ground. Mario grabbed Yoshi's ankle and threw him onto another platform and got back on his feet.
Yoshi was on his feet just as Mario jumped to the platform that he was on. Mario punched at Yoshi but missed as he ducked away from the punch and head butted Mario in the stomach. As Mario bent over to grab his stomach, Yoshi began to rapidly punch him on the top of the head. Mario then copied Yoshi's fighting style by head butting the little dinosaur in the stomach. He was hit so hard that he was knocked into the gap between two of the platforms.
Yoshi once again used his tongue to save himself from an untimely fate by sticking it to one of the platforms and pulling himself back up. He reached the top of the platform, where Mario was waiting for him, when his tongue was reeled back into his mouth. As soon as he got to his feet again, Mario grabbed him by the neck and walked him over to the edge of the platform and held him over it.
"Well now Yoshi, it's surrender or die, which is it?" Mario asked.
"This little trick won't work on me. I know you won't drop me because the good Mario is still in your head and I'm going to get him out." Yoshi said, looking Mario strait in the eye.
"You don't know what you're talking about you crazy dinosaur." Mario said, beginning to sweat.
"You and I both know what I'm talking about." Yoshi said. He climbed over Mario and landed behind him. Mario turned around and raised his fists.
"Stop with your lies and fight me!" Mario yelled as he threw a punch at Yoshi, who was standing still.
"I'm your best friend Mario, you can't hurt me anymore." Yoshi said. Mario's fist stopped and began to shake just inches from Yoshi's face.
"Your not going to stop me with your friendship talk." Mario choked out. He was sweating heavily and put his fists down.
"Fight it Mario, you can beat the evil that is possessing you." Yoshi said.
"Leave me alone…I won't succumb to…the good…inside…" Mario said. His whole body was trembling and he fell to his knees.
"You can do it Mario, believe in yourself." Yoshi said as he began to shake Mario.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mario yelled, his eyes were glowing red and he completely collapsed to the ground. Yoshi backed away from Mario until he was at the edge of the platform.
"What just happened?" Luigi asked from the sidelines. Peach was watching too, her eyes wide with terror.
"I don't know Luigi." Yoshi replied, stunned.
"Where am I?" Mario asked, his eyes opened as he found himself in a large black room. Suddenly a shadowy figure appeared in the room who looked a lot like Mario.
"Hello Mario." The figure said.
"Who are you?" Mario asked.
"I am the evil that has been in control of you since your life was restored." The figure said.
"Where are we?" Mario asked.
"Inside of your mind." The figure answered.
"Why?" Mario asked, apparently confused.
"We are to fight, the winner gets control of your body and the loser will be destroyed." The figure answered, raising his fists.
"I think I'll pass." Mario said, looking around for a door.
"There is no escape, we will battle now." The figure said.
"Alright, I guess I have no choice." Mario said, raising his fists as well.
"Then let the battle begin." The figure said.
