I once again feel good today...even though it is 11:36 p.m. right now. but
since I got two out of the three reviews, I will put this chapter up a
little bit early. This is the final chapter of part one.
Chapter 13: Registration Day.
Even though Yoshi still had the eerie feeling of being watched, having a full belly gave him a good night sleep. When he arose in the morning he ate breakfast and said goodbye to his family and friends, he said goodbye to the chief and went to the beach to find Yosher waiting by a boat. Yosher talked with Yoshi about what he was to expect at the tournament.
"Yoshi, I have trained you how to fight to your fullest extent, and even though you have trained hard you must realize that there still is a great chance you may not win."
"I know." Yoshi acknowledged.
" You should not get cocky and underestimate any opponent, like I did years ago, by the looks of it there are going to be many competitors, and the odds are stacked against you, if you lose confidence, remember who you are, a Smasher, never forget your name Yoshinorus."
Yosher then turned around and walked back to the village. Yoshi pondered on Yosher's words, he was correct that the odds were against him, along with probably different competitors, he would be facing all of the old smashers, probably some that he lost to in the first tournament like Link and Samus, he may even fight against his friend Kirby, and would he be able to manage to beat Mario the hero of the Mushroom kingdom? As he sailed off to the Mushroom Kingdom, he began to become annoyed with the way he always had unanswered questions.
Yoshi arrived in Toad Town with little trouble at all. He arrived and there were plenty of spaces for him to dock his boat, which on some occasions could be quite a hassle. He arrived about an hour and a half early so he decided to have a small brunch meal at a nearby restaurant. Anxious thoughts were jabbing at him as he walked the streets of what people would say if they saw him, but to his relief people were not pointing at him or shouting "there goes the yoshi who attacked the princess!" as he had feared. Everything just seemed normal, except for the crowd that was starting to develop around the town square.
Things were going really well for Yoshi, during his meal of brunch a small group of toads even asked him for an autograph saying that he was their favorite yoshi among all other yoshies. This lifted some of the stress that he had been experiencing for a long time, maybe nobody knew about what he did. As he left the restaurant, he headed for the town square when he saw the well-known ape.
"D.K.!" Yoshi shouted as he spotted and ran up to Donkey Kong.
"Ah Yoshi, hello my friend, how have you been? Keeping busy?" D.K. greeted.
"Not really."
"Not really? I thought you must have been very very busy, too busy to write to your good old friend Donkey Kong." D.K. teased.
"If I recall D.K., you weren't that busy either and you did not write letters to any one. " a voice spoke out from behind D.K.
D.K. turned to reveal two other Apes behind him, one was smaller than D.K. who wore a red vest with a gold star on the back and a red baseball cap and appeared to look more like a monkey than an ape via the tail coming out if his lower back. The other was very large, you could say enormous, bigger than D.K., he wore a white woolen shirt, a blue vest with yellow buttons, a black leather belt, and a small red baseball cap which he wore backwards.
"Oh I was just kidding little buddy." D.K. said to the monkey
"Uhh, who are your friends D.K.?" Yoshi asked
"Oh, then allow me to introduce you then, these are some members of my family, my little buddy here is named Diddy Kong and my other friend is named Chunky Kong." He said pointing first to the smaller monkey then to the larger ape. Diddy and Chunky both waved.
"Nice to meet you, for what reason do you have for being in Toad Town?" Yoshi asked.
"We are here to win the smash brothers tournament!" Diddy announced looking rather proud."
"Yeah, nobody can defeat the Kongs!" Chunky added while flexing his muscles.
"Yeah the Kong team is invincible" Diddy added
"Yeah." Chunky began ".we Kongs are-"
"This tournament is not a team battle you know" D.K. cut in.
"Oh, yeah." Chunky said relaxing his muscles.
"Uhh, I knew that" Diddy said looking slightly embarrassed.
"Sure you did Diddy" Chunky teased.
"Well we should find Mario and Luigi so w-" Yoshi started only to be interrupted.
"No, really, I knew that it wasn't a team tournament!" Diddy shouted.
"Prove it then!" Chunky yelled
"I will!"
"How?!"
"When I beat you at the tournament!!"
"Bring it little ape!!"
Diddy and Chunky continued to argue until both were conked on the head by D.K.'s fists, both simultaneously exclaiming a loud "OW!!"
"Stop arguing! We came to fight, not see who can shout louder. We should find Mario and Luigi, it should not be hard to find them." After D.K. concluded his scolding, the group proceeded to search for Mario and Luigi.
"Nice family." Yoshi said.
"Yeah well, you don't have to live with them."
The group then set off to find the others, they passed crowds of beings, mostly they were just spectators but there were quite a bit that looked as if they were entering the tournament some Yoshi recognized, and some he didn't. The crowds were getting bigger as he they neared the town square.
As they were walking Yoshi saw that D.K. was eyeing someone. Yoshi looked to see who he was eyeing and saw a large green alligator about the size of Bowser. The gator stood upright, had a large yellow belly, a red cape, a gold crown on his head and most his most predominant feature was his eyes. While one of his eyes looked normal the other seemed to be three times the size of the other eye, had red veins showing agitation and it appeared as if it was popping out of it's eye socket. D.K. stopped and headed over to him. As Yoshi followed D.K. he saw anger in his eyes, Diddy had a look of confusion, and Chunky looked very fretful.
"Who is that Diddy?" Yoshi asked confused to as of why they had veered off course.
"That's King K. Rool, D.K.'s arch enemy, ever since he stole every banana in D.K.'s stash and D.K. was forced to retrieve them all, which is a lot, the two have hated each other ever since."
"That does sound bad."
"The thing is that they have battled many different times, even I got a piece of him a few times but it seems like whenever they see each other when neither is planning anything, they begin to argue"
"For how long usually"
"Well they can fight with each other for, uhh, well. hours on end."
"We don't have that much time to argue!"
"I guess your right, D.K.!" Diddy called out to the giant ape who was halfway to K. Rool who happened to be unaware that his hated enemy was nearby.
"What!?" D.K. called back.
"What are you doing?"
"Giving K. Rool a piece of my mind, or fist, whichever comes first."
"We don't have time, can't you wait until the tournament where you can fight him to your hearts content?"
".I guess, but I don't like missing these opportunities." D.K. said turning away from K. Rool who happened to still be in the shade, his back to D.K. They then continued they're walk and eventually found Mario, Luigi, and Peach near the gate that leads to Peach's castle, too bad they were all arguing with Bowser, Wario, and Waluigi.
Yoshi, D.K. and co. just stared at the predicament.
"Let me get this straight." Chunky began.
"We just prevented ourselves from getting involved in a time consuming argument only to find the people we were looking for had got caught up in their own argument, which we will probably get dragged into?" Diddy said.
"That pretty much hits the dot on the button" Yoshi sighed out.
"Awww crap" D.K. mumbled angry that he had missed an opportunity to down talk to K. Rool.
As they walked up, Mario spotted them.
"Here's-a another reason why we-a can beat-a you!" Mario shouted to the three enemies.
"We have-a more friends-a!"
"That doesn't meeen a theeng-a," Wario yelled back "I'm tired of fighting with you anyways, were hungry, so were gonna get something to eeeea-at! With that the two Wario brothers and the King Koopa left.
"Well it wasn't as bad as we thought." said D.K.
"Ah, D.K., Yoshi, hello-a!" Luigi greeted as they walked up to them.
"Hey Luigi!" Both Yoshi and D.K. seemed to say in unison.
Luigi reached Yoshi and D.K. and spoke in a whispered voice.
"Ok guys listen, concerning the argument that happened six months ago, it never happened, we were all probably cranky that night and well, lets just pretend that incident never happened, ok?"
"Well what does Peach think about it?" D.K. questioned
"She is fine with it, all is forgiven."
"Well how is the rest of the town taking to our actions?" Yoshi questioned.
"Everyone at the castle was ordered to keep they're mouths shut concerning what happened."
Yoshi felt as if a block he had been carrying on his back for six months had finally been chipped away, it was a good relief.
"Well if everything-a is alright then we should go and see Mario and Peach- a." And they did.
"Sorry that I dragged you guys into that argument there-a, we just wanted them to go away." Mario apologized.
"That's okay" D.K. said.
"Yeah, no big deal." Yoshi added
"Who are your friends D.K.?" Peach asked spotting Diddy and Chunky.
"Who?" D.K. turned around to see Diddy and Chunky wearing very annoyed faces.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about you guys" D.K. said with a smile on his face.
"Great to see you care about us D.K." Diddy said in a quite bland voice.
"Well these are a couple of my family, Diddy Kong and Chunky Kong."
"We haven't seen you two before, what brings you to Toad Town today?" Mario asked. Yoshi's eyes widened, he knew what the answer was and how it would end, nor did he want to hear it again.
"Were here to win the Super Smash Brothers tournament!" Diddy announced
"Yeah nobody can defeat the Kongs!" Chunky added, like before flexing his muscles. Before Diddy could add to that, D.K. cut in.
"Except maybe another Kong." D.K. obviously did not want to break another fight.
"Perhaps." Diddy began. D.K. and Yoshi exhaled in relief
"Which is why I am the Kong for the job!" Diddy shouted posing with his fist in the air.
"Who said you are the Kong who's gonna' win?" Chunky shouted.
"Why, you gonna' win?"
"Yes I am!"
"Says who?!"
"Says me!"
"Wanna bet you big-OUCH!" once again irritated, D.K. Bonked Diddy and Chunky on the head with his fists.
"Why don't you two go find something to do or something?" D.K. said to the other two apes.
"Yeah that sounds like a good idea." Diddy said rubbing his head.
"Let's go find some eats!" Chunky said excitedly, and the two then walked off.
Yoshi looked at D.K. and smiled.
"Nice fami-"
"Shut up." D.K. said in a harsh whisper.
"How have you two been doing for the last six months?" Mario asked in a friendly manner.
"Getting stronger, I can now lift a little over one thousand pounds!" D.K. declared triumphantly.
"ONE THOUSAND" everyone except D.K. seemed to shout out at once.
"Wait a minute." Luigi began.
"D.K. do you have a scale?"
"No"
"Then how do you know that it weighs over a thousand pounds?"
"Well, it feels like it weighs a thousand pounds." Peach, Yoshi, and Mario chuckled at this remark while Luigi looked at him as if that were the stupidest thing D.K. ever said.
"What about you Mario what have you been doing?" D.K. asked
"Well I myself trained by teaching Peach how to fight, I got exercise and was a bit successful in my opinion, sort of like killing two birds with one st-"
"More like very successful" Peach interjected "Bowser better look out the next time we meet or I'll show him a thing or two!"
"Peach don't get too overconfident, he does have more muscular brawn than me and Mario combined" Luigi warned.
"And you have to actually be picked in a line up to fight him, if either of you loses a match before that, that dream is gone." Yoshi added
"Perhaps you two are right but I still want to fight him, but getting back to the subject what have you been doing Yoshi?"
The first thing that popped into Yoshi's head of what had done for six months was being tortured by an old Yoshi with a split identity who was teaching him the best ways of how yoshies defend themselves by making him perform exercises like being ran over by a large egg and being pushed off cliffs, but that seemed like too much for a single sentence so he shortened it down to:
"I pretty much ran around the islands beaches and lifted rocks in succession of lightest to heaviest."
"I did the same thing with the rocks, but my rocks weighed a thousand pounds!" said D.K. showing a toothy grin.
"Maybe altogether" Yoshi replied. D.K. was about to defend his ideas on the weight of his rocks but Yoshi quickly asked Luigi what he had done to train for the tournament.
"Well, for the tournament I have adopted a new fighting style." As soon as Luigi finished his sentence Mario burst out in uncontrollable laughter."
"What's so funny?" Luigi asked confused about Mario's outburst.
"Your fighting style I've seen it, it is hilarious!"
"How so?"
"You fight as if you are a doing three different things, I've seen you act like a cheap kung-fu movie, then you seem to be doing a strange and peculiar dance, and at one point you seem to totally panic ha ha ha ha!"
"Hey don't underestimate my fighting ability, I learned some of those moves from Toad Town's Martial Arts Master."
"Some moves, but it is still funny to watch you fight."
"Hey for all you know, I could single handedly win this tournament with one hand behind my back!"
"Possibly, but I will be laughing all the way ha ha ha!" Mario and Luigi continued to argue until Peach looked at the Toad Town clock.
"Boys, its already 11:55, we've got to get to the town square if we want to register!" everybody then proceeded to look at the clock, then proceeded to walk fairly quickly to the center of town, were a large group of spectators was developing.
There was a space cleared out, probably for the reason of Wharf having already been to the Town earlier in the week to set up an area where he could warp into. No sooner had Mario and co. arrived a very large dark portal opened and out came Wharf, but once again he was alone, after he fully got out of the portal, it did not close, it remained open. Wharf then spoke in a voice that had a bit more feeling than last time which seemed somewhat monotone.
"If you are not here to compete, please step away." On his command about two-thirds of the people stepped away.
"This portal will lead to the testing area, where you will be tested and viewed to see how you perform under circumstances of stress, confusion, physical endurance, and the ability to think strait in a chaotic setting. The test is to follow a map that will be given to you later, you are to follow it and reach the finish of the map. If you get lost, we will get you back on track. If you are successful you will be registered in the Super Smash Brothers Tournament of Melee and will have the right to compete for your choice of a prize. If you fail you will be temporary held in a medical facility until we are sure you are healed of any injuries sustained, this test is dangerous and chances are against most of you. Are there any questions?" Somebody in the crowd yelled
"How come we aren't being registered now?"
"The answer is simple, there are so many competitors that if we only registered ones who pass the test, it will save time." Yoshi was confused, last time Wharf was here it took him a few seconds to reply to a question, as if he were waiting himself for an answer, but now he spoke without hesitation.
".are there any more questions?" all was silent.
"Good, all competitors please enter the portal."
Yoshi and nearly everyone around him started walking to the large portal. Yoshi could see other competitors seemingly disappear into the dark swirling mass. What kind of test awaited him? Can he complete it? Will anybody else pass it? More questions seem to buzz in his head. He approached the portal, and stepped inside. Soon a few of his questions would be answered, but he will have to go through utter chaos in order to find them.
Yay, you finished the chapter, before you review (which is what I hope you were about to do) this chapter read the part one epilogue.
Chapter 13: Registration Day.

".are there any more questions?" all was silent.
"Good, all competitors please enter the portal."
Yoshi and nearly everyone around him started walking to the large portal. Yoshi could see other competitors seemingly disappear into the dark swirling mass. What kind of test awaited him? Can he complete it? Will anybody else pass it? More questions seem to buzz in his head. He approached the portal, and stepped inside. Soon a few of his questions would be answered, but he will have to go through utter chaos in order to find them.
