A new chapter, hurrah, hurrah. Oh and concerning who those three people were, I'm sorry, I cannot reveal that information yet, it would...spoil some good stuff to come later....
Chapter 22: Mute City Part 2
Yoshi awoke in time for his feet to hit the ground. What had happened, did he lose consciousness? He looked at his surroundings; it was a long road, just like he was just on, only now instead of being a vast ocean as wide as the eye can see, it was a vast city as far as the eye could see. The sky shone a pink color with the rising sun, cloudless. The scene was nearly tranquil, but the roar of engines vrooming shattered it all. Yoshi turned to see a track adjacent to the one he was one support a blur of more floating cars.
"There you are!" A voice shouted from behind Yoshi, Yoshi turned to see a man wearing purple tights with a red racing helmet with and emblem resembling an falcon, it was none other than Captain Falcon! Yoshi knew that everyone he had met so far had attacked him, so he expected the same from Captain Falcon, but he didn't respond.
"You screwed up my last race pal! So now I'm going to screw up your face!!" Captain Falcon said and charged forward at high speed, he was fast, but for some reason not as fast as Yoshi remembered. Yoshi had been on guard, and was able to sidestep the rush and swing his tail under the captain, tripping him. Just as the captain was about to hit the ground he went into a quick roll and stood up. Yoshi didn't expect the fast recovery, and wasn't able to dodge the captain as he was shoulder charged, Yoshi skidded across the pavement. Yoshi got up in time to see Captain Falcon press a button on a side panel, suddenly the floor, or at least, the floor Yoshi and Captain Falcon were on levitated off the ground and speeded forward. The floor was used to reach cars that had fallen apart on the track, which happened often in races like these, apparently, Captain Falcon was using this to set up a more suitable combat scene, where the loser would be road kill.
Yoshi prepared for the Captains next assault, and it came in the form of a flying kick. Yoshi ducked under the attack, and got up when suddenly, Captain Falcon's leg shot out backwards in a surprise attack, nailing Yoshi in the head. Yoshi lurched forward, he turned around to see the captain com charging, Yoshi was forced to suffer another shoulder charge, which sent him rolling, and dangerously close to the edge. Suddenly the platform shifts and direction, causing Yoshi to roll off. Just as he was falling off, his arm shot up and grabbed the side. That was a close call. Yoshi pulled up a little just enough to see the captain coming to finish him off. Captain Falcon brought his leg up and slammed it down, Yoshi quickly pulled his hand back where the captain was about to stomp, then Yoshi grabbed his leg and pulled the Captain down with him, he made sure not to give the Captain the chance to grab the side though, and kicked him in the side as he fell. The kick sent Captain Falcon flying passed the road and over the side, falling down the city, and disappearing. Yoshi quickly pulled himself up and onto the platform. That was a close call, the fights were starting to get harder. Yoshi then saw something catch his eye, a shine upon the hovering platform he was on. He knew that shine and quickly ran over to it, his assumption was correct, it was a token. Yoshi had little idea of how it got here, but he picked it up anyway. He took out his map and scratched off the gray surface. Yoshi studied the next square as the coin shattered into dust. It was a picture depicting a tranquil urban neighborhood. Yoshi looked around, he could only see sky scrappers and parts of the large city.
The platform continued moving, Yoshi decided to wait and see where it would take him, perhaps it would be to his destination, only time would tell...
Getting close to the end of Part 2, but we still got a bit more to get through. Please review, I hate begging but, you know....
