Chapter 19: Corneria

The large gray ship continued to fly at a steady speed, about eighty feet in the air. The shop had been flying over the water, and once in a while a small rock of land, for about ten minutes. Yoshi had enough room to stand on nearly every part of the ship, from the tip of the front, to the center fin, to the top of the rockets in the back. Even though Yoshi had a wide range of area to walk on, he was having trouble finding the coin. He looked everywhere he had access to, which was pretty much the top of the ship.

After looking for about five minutes he spotted something shine on the large yellow antenna that was protruding from the outside of the ships bridge. A closer examination revealed that it was indeed the coin, and it was tapped to the base of the large yellow antennae. He walked to the front and over to the coin, he heard something bellow him. He turned and looked down to see that banging on the front window was Fox Mcloud. Fox yelled a little more, but Yoshi could barely even hear, let alone comprehend what he was saying. Fox then ran away from the window, and out of sight. Yoshi reached out and pulled the coin that had been taped to the yellow antennae. Yoshi regained his balance and went back to the center of the ship. He took out the map from his saddle and rubbed away the gray. The coin shattered into dust and was swept up the passing wind. He looked at the picture on the map. It showed what looked like single large platform suspended by a large column, and around it was what looked like stadium seating. Yoshi put the map away. Just then on the side of the ship, a hatch opened up, and Fox Mcloud came out of it. He climbed up the side and confronted Yoshi.

"Okay buddy, I really need that radio amplifier back." Fox said holding out his hand.

"...I don't have any amplifier." Yoshi said.

"I saw you had it on one of the monitors on my way up here. I really don't have time to play games. I need that until I can get an actual radio amplifier, without it the ship can't decode radio frequencies. So I need that back, even if I have to take it by force." Fox explained. What could Yoshi do? Fox was obviously not going to believe him, and he knew this was going to turn into a fight. Yoshi knew that talking was now futile, so he took the first action rather than be caught off guard like before, and went into a defensive position.

"So you wish to fight over it? So be it!" Fox said and ran at Yoshi. If Yoshi could remember anything about Fox from the last tournament, it was that he was fast. Very fast. But this time he didn't seem to be as fast as before, nonetheless he was rushing at Yoshi at a fast pace. Yoshi swung his tail at Fox, but only hit air. Yoshi looked up to see Fox jumping over him and landing behind him. Fox drew his laser pistol and fired a couple bright red laser shots. Yoshi put his arms in front to block the lasers, in which they hit his arms. The shots hurt only slightly and had no force to them, but Yoshi could see a couple large bruises form. Fox had put away his pistol and was going on the offense again and charged at Yoshi. Yoshi this time waited until Fox was right in front of him. Yoshi then jumped up and shot out his foot, colliding with Fox. Fox was thrown back a little, but Yoshi didn't want to drag the fight out any longer, he charged at the recovering Fox and slammed his head into him, sending him off the ship. Yoshi had his eyes closed when he made contact, and was unable to spot Fox. He did however spot something nearby. He saw that they were now flying on the edges of a large city. He went to the center of the ship saw what looked like a small communicator. There was some kind of sound was coming from it. Fox must have dropped by accident during the fight. Suddenly voices were heard from the communicator.

"Fox? Are you all right?" A light voice spoke.

"Be careful Fox! This doesn't look good!" A somewhat old voice said.

"Try to stay alive, huh Fox!" A voice that sounded like a young adult. Yoshi turned to see the three same ships, which he saw earlier zooming toward the large ship he was on. On one of the ships however, Yoshi spotted Fox being carried on top of it. The ship must have caught Fox as he was falling. What was peculiar was that Fox was no longer wearing the white vest he wore during the fight, but was now wearing a red one. The ship then flew over the large ship and Fox jumped off. Fox glared at Yoshi.

"Now this is where things get serious." he said breaking into a fighting stance. Yoshi got into his. Before either of them could take action, one of the small fighter ships flew by attacking the ship, or mostly the area which Yoshi was standing on. The ship fired about five rounds of blue pulse lasers. The shots collided with the large ship, creating large explosions, and luckily missing Yoshi. Another one of the fighters was coming around for its own attack run. Yoshi saw this one coming, and ran towards Fox as a trace of blue lasers and explosions followed. Fox ran at Yoshi, but quickly realized what his plan was and turned the other way. Yoshi shot his tongue out at Fox and pulling him into his mouth. Yoshi turned and spat Fox out in the path of the lasers. But as soon as Fox left Yoshi's mouth, he activated some blue deflection shield that deflected the lasers to the right upper wing of the ship. The lasers crashed into the side of the wing on the area that attaches it to the hull of the rest of the ship, exploding and causing the wings to appear as if they were barely staying attached. Yoshi made a charge at Fox, Fox held his position. When Yoshi was in range, Fox kicked high, but Yoshi changed tactics and jumped over Fox, then kicked his head from the behind. The attack sent Fox a few feet forward and on his stomach. Yoshi saw another opportunity for attack, he turned to face Fox, but before he could run, another one of the small ships made an attack run, which missed Yoshi but caused him to miss his opportunity. When the explosions from the blast cleared, Yoshi charged forward, but was met by a knee to the stomach, and then a punch to the face. Fox had recovered in that small time period. Yoshi got to his feet, and dodged another attack from the small ships. Fox held his ground inviting Yoshi to make the next move, but before either of them could react, the upper right wing of the ship that had been shot in the beginning, separated from the rest of the ship, falling onto the wing bellow it and causing both wings to separate from the ship. The ship then turned on its side causing it to fly deeper into the city. The ship was starting to overturn. Fox jumped off and one of the small ships caught him. Yoshi looked for something to grab onto, but found nothing. Eventually the ship turned over causing Yoshi to lose his balance and fall from the ship.

Oh boy, now I have to write the next chapter. If you could review it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
