Prologue 2: Returning Home
A lone boat was returning to an island. There was only one person, or thing inside the boat, a species of fleet-of-foot dinosaur called yoshi. This yoshi's name is, surprisingly Yoshi. His real name is actually Yoshinorus, a very strange name among the yoshis, so he only wishes to be called a few names: Yoshi and sometimes green, for that is the color of yoshi he is.
Yoshies are very gentle, friendly, and kind creatures. They appear like cute dinosaurs with big eyes, large noses, big feet, and somewhat large hands with thin arms. Their underbellies down to the underside of their tale and up their neck to their cheeks are colored white, anything else is usually a different color. Yoshis also have a few studded spikes in their backs in a line, but they appear as fins and are relatively harmless. What is strange about yoshis is that they were shoes and a saddle on their back, the shoes are rather large but do not hinder their movement at all. The saddle appears as a shellike covering over their back, why they wear such things is unknown. The yoshies postures are also peculiar; they seem to have two different postures. They can stand upright with their back straight like a human, or they arch their back in a way that seems to resemble a dinosaur like a raptor. And there was also a stance that seems in between the two, which is how they stand most of the time. One of the stances would allow people to ride yoshis as if they were like horses.
Perhaps a yoshi's biggest trademark is their appetite. They can get very hungry and will eat in a normal hand to mouth way as like we would eat a sandwich, or like some lizards and frogs, with long tongues. They also turn any living thing they eat into a large egg with spots of the color that the yoshi is. If the creature was intelligent it would hatch sooner or later, if it was something of low intelligence the egg would hatch as a baby yoshi. Yoshies have a high I.Q. at birth so they are not in any way stupid, they just live simple happy lives, although they could be an advanced civilization, they seem happy and content with traditional life style of playing, relaxing, and eating fruit. They seem to know three different languages which are Yoshi which is the original language which includes many beeps and squeals to display feelings, Yoshi which is just the saying of the word Yoshi, and basic everyday languages, depending on what area they are in. Yoshi was returning home from an experience he probably would never forget. He had participated in a tournament called the Super Smash Brothers, a tournament that had nearly cost him his life.
The S.S.B tournament was a tournament that one had to be invited to, so only a select few could participate, what was very strange about the tournament was that it did not only take participants only from his area, country, or fact of the matter world, but six other dimensions as well. The invitations came one week before the tournament was scheduled; Yoshi had received an invitation as well as the famous brothers who resided in the Mushroom Kingdom near Yoshi's Island Luigi and the infamous Mario. Another resident who was invited lived far from the Mushroom Kingdom and Yoshis Island was Donkey Kong. Yoshi trained hard for the duration of the week that was given, and when the time came a portal had opened in the Mushroom Kingdom that would lead to the tournament. Mario, who had many, many fans cheering him on, was the first to step through the portal. Followed by Luigi who had a few supporters, and then Yoshi stepped through who had equal or less supporters that Luigi had since mostly he was seen by nearly half of the mushroom kingdom as Mario's steed and finally D.K. who had nearly no fans. Yoshi got his title of Mario's steed from his second adventure with Mario. Yoshi remembered his memories of his first adventure.
His first sight of the world was rather strange for it was not how it was supposed to be. The land had been turned into a story book by Baby Bowser and like said earlier born with High IQ he found out that he and his other six siblings were not turned paper thin and helpless for they had not hatched when the spell was cast. They went off to reverse the spell and recover the stolen super happy tree from Baby Bowser; a tree that bears fruit that makes anyone who eats it happy. Even though they were recently hatched they defeated Baby Bowser and set the land to its former self. A few years later a baby landed on the island, the baby happened to be Baby Mario, who was being delivered by the stork with his brother Luigi to their parents, when they were ambushed. Yoshi and his siblings determined to return the baby to its parents, but they had to avoid someone else who wanted the baby. Carrying the baby on their back shell like a saddle they eventually succeeded, without Yoshi and his brothers and sisters Mario would have been captured. Years later Bowser traveled to the island and captured the yoshies and trapped them in eggs. Mario and Luigi returned to the island accompanied by Princess Peach for a much needed vacation. When Bowser captured Peach, Mario and Luigi set out to rescue Peach. They found Yoshi trapped in an egg but had no idea who Yoshi was since they were toddlers when they met. Yoshi would stand in a way that was explained earlier that allowed them to ride him and he ate and jumped his was through the adventure. He was not a major factor in the final battle against Bowser though. When things were set right Yoshi had his first taste of Civilization on the mainland of the Mushroom Kingdom. He was planning on revealing his first encounter with the plumbers to them, but he found out they were great heroes who had more adventures than him. He was not seen as an intelligent creature at the time only as Mario's steed, so he thought if he revealed the truth that Mario's "steed" had saved him at birth, he would be seen as a bigger hero than he currently was, but he had no proof, so who would believe him. Although, he was eventually treated better than one that had the intelligence of a horse. But when people thought of Yoshi, they eventually would see the image of Mario riding him.
Getting back to the tournament, there were ten competitors the dinosaur Yoshi and the plumbers Mario and Luigi who also lived in the Mushroom kingdom, were also accompanied by the giant gorilla Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong existed as long as Mario had, he is what you are probably thinking: a big monkey. He wears a red tie that has his initials printed in yellow. He is also the big "hulk" of the tournament. The next competitor who also became a good friend of Yoshi was Kirby. Kirby hails from the planet Popstar and the town of Dreamland, Kirby's appearance is very strange, he looks like an eight inch tall, round pink marshmallow with two red feet, a tiny mouth that can become very large, and two long black eyes. He appears cute and cuddly but his main source of power is his appetite. Kirby has the ability to suck opponents into his mouth and copy one of their powers. Another competitor was Fox McCloud, a humanoid fox who was actually a head space fighter pilot of a four-person team of mercenaries known as team Star Fox. He hails from the solar system of Lylat representing his team. The next competitors were the pokemon Pikachu, as well as Jigglypuff. Pikachu appears as a yellow electric rat with long ears, a tail that appears as a thunderbolt, and red cheeks. The other is a light pink balloon like pokemon that has light blue eyes and a tiny mouth. It is unknown whether these two pokemon were representing themselves or their trainers, if they each had one. The next competitor was from the kingdom of Hyrule, the hero of time Link. Link was magically aged to 17 when he was needed and saved the lands from the evil Gannondorf. He appears like an elf with long pointed ears, has blond hair, he wears a green tunic, a hat like an elf, white tights, and brown boots. He wields many weapons including a boomerang, bombs, a grapple hook, a shield, and his main weapon the master sword which can only be wielded by a true hero; Link was a powerful warrior indeed. Next was the bounty hunter/racer Captain Falcon. Captain F. is 36 year old human man who wears purple tights that he wears in races, and wears his racing helmet, which makes his eyes nearly un-seeable. Usually a relentless bounty hunter, he does take time off for the F-Zero races, which are hover cars that move so fast they can break the sound barrier. The races are dangerous as you can imagine so, Captain Falcon may sometimes be a little too overconfident thinking if he survived the grueling races, he could win any tournament. Still, he has a lot of power to back him up. The next and only woman in the Smash Brothers tournament was Samus Aran. Samus was an orphan and was taken care by a (now extinct) alien race known as the chozo. It is hard to tell her features for she dons a red and yellow powersuit, the armor is fused with chozo blood which allows Samus to perform amazing feats, instead of being a gauntlet on the right arm like there is on the left, it is replaced by a gun that takes up most of the arm. The gun can shoot many types of ammunition but mostly Samus uses a default charge shot. Samus is a bounty hunter that hunts a parasitic alien breed known as metroids. The final entry was a young boy named Ness. Ness is a special boy that fights with a psychic energy known as Psi. Ness comes from the suburbs of Onett. He wears a red baseball cap, a blue and yellow striped shirt, blue shorts, and red sneakers. Along with the Psi energy, he wields a baseball bat and a yo-yo.
That is the list of fighters; they came not for money, but for the inter- dimensional title of the Super Smash Brothers Champion. All or most had trained hard for the round-robin type tournament, since there were so few fighters, elimination type tournaments would be too short. The tournament lasted for about a week. The rules were to knock out your opponent or knock them off the edge of the floating platform arena. The only spectators were the fighters, a few judges, a ref, and an eerie presence. Although most of the competitors just brushed off the eerie feeling, some were unable to and it ended up controlling them. Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, Ness, and Luigi were mind controlled by a dark presence. the four had fought more brutally in the tournament than they were actually capable of, showing no mercy, and only stopping when the match was over, thus dealing great injuries to the other competitors. Something wanted the four to weaken the other competitors and hopefully destroy them in the final matches.
When the tournament was about halfway complete and one of the late matches were being held, Ness used his psychic abilities so hard in the match that it gave most of the competitors a slight headache, the psychic power also freed the minds of the four competitors. Being mind controlled the four fighters learned that they had been controlled by something, The four also learned of who the menace controlling them was, a giant floating glove called The Master Hand. Master Hand's cover was blown, he was hoping that those under his control would destroy the other competitors, or greatly weaken the tournament winner so he could fight the weakened winner of the tournament in a final battle for control of the competitors dimensions, if he took the dimensions best fighters life force, he would be able to travel freely into the six dimensions, capture them, control them, destroy them, whatever he wanted to do would have worked, except when ALL the fighters decided to ban together against him! He had to accept the challenge for without the fighter's life forces he would not be able to travel to and conquer any dimensions.
He sent his minions, which were mostly clones of the fighters and were easily dispatched. Master Hand then fought them all himself, he was powerful for a giant glove and could have dispatched the smashers in a one on one match. He was eventually weakened and fell to the combined might of the smashers. He fell off the platform and into darkness. As soon as the screams of Master Hand were finally silenced, the Smashers were transported back to their own dimensions, without Master Hand's power to sustain the S.S.B dimension, the smashers were out of place in the falling dimension. Fate, Time, God, Destiny, something had to fix what was wrong, and sent the competitors to whence they came, home.
We are only aware of what happened to Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and DK. They had returned and as soon as they got back, the fans wanted to desperately to know whom the winner was. Luigi called the four over and talked about how they did not finish the last matches, so there really was no winner. They then had to have an answer for the waiting crowd; they quickly decided that whoever had the most wins during the tournament should be the one who was champion. They tallied their wins, to find that Mario had more wins then Luigi, Yoshi, or D.K. When the crowd heard Mario was the winner they carried Mario away in cheer, leaving the three lone warriors alone. "Well I guess this not-a so bad, it could be worse and that giant hand could of won- a" Luigi said with his Italian accent. "Yeah." Yoshi sighed in agreement; he was still probably seen as a steed. DK just grunted. They heard over an intercom Princess Toadstool or Peach, as she likes to be called, congratulating Mario. "Our own Mario has won the championship, unmatched, for us all." Peach declared in a happy energetic voice. "We will be holding a banquet in your honor tomorrow. Yoshi and Luigi were annoyed right now, the fact that Peach or Mario did not mention them or D.K. and that they had entered and fought their hardest was a bit irritating. Mario did not really need any more fame, he was already one of the most famous people in the Mushroom Kingdom. What also added the Yoshi's irritation was the fact he could not tell anyone the fact of this kingdom being here in the first place without him and his siblings saving baby Mario, without Mario Bowser would overrun the place. But then again, there was nothing he could do
Yoshi and Luigi were used to this kind of treatment though, Luigi younger of the brothers and was overshadowed by Mario, and Yoshi was not looked at as a big hero so Yoshi and Luigi can relate to each other being underdogs. DK really is not around for any adventures, only for parties and recreational activities, but he does have his own adventures, and many too. These memories all zoomed into Yoshi's head as he rowed home.
I do not believe in reviews for prologues' alone so reviewing is not required this time, but that may change soon. More to come soon.
