Ch 27 ½ the beginning part two

f Mario and f Yoshi circled each other, waiting for the other one to attack. They suddenly clenched their stomachs again as the castle was obliterated by the bomb inside. f Mario and f Yoshi began screaming the pain was much worse than before. The ground encircling them began to disintegrate. Everyone stop fighting. All the troops began running away. DK, Luigi, Toad leader, and Goomba leader stood there with serious looks on their face, as if reassuring their victory. Chunks from the castle began falling. f DK pulled out his sword and charged at Toad leader. f Luigi did the same to Goomba leader. Toad leader dodged f DK's attack and pulled out his sword and started to slash f DK but was blocked by p DK. f DK recovered from his attack and started to attack Toad leader but was knocked out of the way by Goomba leader who was dodging f Luigi's attack. p Luigi jumped up and tried to land his sword on Goomba leader who rolled out of the way and kicked p Luigi back in the stomach.

f Mario and f Yoshi stood up. Their bodies were nearly engulfed with light. f Mario swung his sword at f Yoshi with 10x's the speed and agility he had before but f Yoshi dodged the attack and came back swinging his sword furiously at f Mario who performed a series of dodges and blocks. f Mario Jumped up in the air ,higher than he ever did before and began throwing huge fireballs at f Yoshi who dodged each one. f Yoshi jumped back up and began to furiously attack f Mario in mid air. f Mario ,once again, performed a series of dodges and blocks. f Mario than Swung his sword back at f Yoshi and slammed him into the ground. f Mario flew down and tried to land on f Yoshi who rolled out of the way. They kept fighting furiously.

p Mario woke up he still felt very little power left in him. p Yoshi was right next to him.

"I can end it all now" p Mario said quietly "But how"

p Mario suddenly remembered what he had said to Peach before she was frozen. He pulled out his sword.

"No I can't. There has to be another way" p Mario said quietly "Unless… The crystal."

p Mario rushed off using what little power and energy he had left. As he raced away p Yoshi woke up. He immediately could sense p Mario and began to chase off after him. Several minutes later p Mario busted into the throne room in Yoshi's castle. He looked for the bookshelf that his future self had told him about he opened the room. He walked in and grabbed the crystal that had not yet been locked in.

"What do you think your doing" Zoshi said seeing p Mario there

"I'm ending this before it begins" p Mario said

"Zoshi stop him" p Yoshi yelled running in strait at Mario.

"To late" Mario said breaking the crystal.

Energy seeped from the crystal in to the room. They all stared at it. It flew strait into p Yoshi. He began breathing heavily he dropped his sword, fell to his knees, and grabbed his head.

"What did you do" p Yoshi said beginning to gasp for breath

"Something that hopefully for the better" p Mario said running out the castle. p Yoshi fell down and fainted.

"This can't be good" Zoshi said looking at the crystal that was reforming. He looked back down at his friend energy seeped from him and entered Zoshi's body. He fainted

f Mario and Yoshi were once again encircling each other. Goomba leader, Toad leader, DK, and Luigi were staring at each other intensely. A flash of light flew threw the sky, instantly everyone pulled out their guns.

"What now" f Mario said breathing heavily

"I don't know old man" f Yoshi said, "Obviously something is about to happen"

"Tell me something" f Mario said, "How did you know what the light meant"

"The real question is how did you know" f Yoshi said

"Obviously we had the same plan" f Mario said

Suddenly Yoshi went flying away. DK and Luigi did the same thing.

"Mario you dare soil this land with guns" E.Gadd said

"What, didn't you just use a gun" Koopa leader said

"That was a Limited Magnetic Repel Ray" E.Gadd said

"How did you know to find us here and what does that gun do" f Mario said

"Well, let's just say a little birdie told me" E. Gadd said "and the ray repels any metallic force from the ground"

"So the first battle is over but it's just the beginning" Goomba leader said

"I'm already preparing" E.Gadd said "Bowser is already at my mansion working on the under ground base. And he said the time exchange is ready"

"Let's get out of here" f Mario said "We can discuss everything later"

Near Yoshi's Castle 9 P.M

Yoshi and his crew lands from their flight

"That was infuriating" f Yoshi said "That scientist and his stupid inventions"

"Personally I'm happy we could've died" f DK said

"That's true but where is my younger self" f Yoshi said

"He accomplished his mission he's probably at the castle" p Luigi said

"Well it's settled this is where it all begins" f Luigi said, "Now we need to get home"

"That is a bit of a problem" f Yoshi said

"Not really while we were in the time exchange I collected fragments of time. It shouldn't take me more than a day" f Luigi said

"Good cause I'm ready to get back" f DK said

Authors note: So that's how it all began. But the story isn't over yet.
