The Path to Peace

Chapter 1: Evil Will Never Die

Two months later…

It has been a time of peace for the world after the elimination of Leon. Sheila was added to the team immediately following the operation. Strangely though, the royal council of Yoshi's Island was still debating that if Princess Sheila should be queen of Yoshi's Island. The team decided to spend some vacation time at the Rainbow Palace at Yoshi's Island. While the team was enjoying themselves in the courtyards, Chris decided to talk to the council himself. He left the palace and entered the small village that was nearby. After walking a short distance, the council building came into view. The building was white and it was based off an Ancient Greek design. Chris went through the doors and walked down a couple of hallways to the main chamber. Inside, the councilmen were discussing several issues that were important to them. Chris walked to the center of the room as the councilmen looked towards him. Everything went silent as several ascending rows of Yoshian councilmen waited to hear what Chris wanted to say. Chris looked around for a moment and then faced the head councilman. He was a middle-aged yellow Yoshi that was wearing a black suit.

"Yoshian Council, I am Chris, leader of Team Chaos. I have come to discuss about the main issue that you are facing. I am here to give my opinion on who should be the ruler of Yoshi's Island. Please allow me to speak." Chris stated.

"Very well. While this matter is only important to us, we will let you speak because of what you have done for the island. So please general, proceed." the yellow Yoshi said.

"You should let Sheila be the ruler of the island! Sheila helped me and my team eliminate Leon and save the world! She was the one who gave the final shot that destroyed the MRG Cannon and saved millions of people. She was more than capable of handling herself in the field of battle. She was willing to go on such a dangerous mission just to prove that she should rule your people. She has shown great leadership qualities and in my opinion, I think that she can lead Yoshi's Island into a new age of peace and prosperity. She will prove to be a greater leader than the treacherous Leon. I only ask that you take my words into thought." Chris said.

"Hmm...you make a very good argument for Princess Sheila. We will definitely take your words into consideration. I would like you to return here tomorrow with the princess. We will have made our decision and we will reveal if she is worthy to be the ruler of the island. Also, the rest of your team is also invited to witness the event." the yellow Yoshi said.

"Very well." Chris said.

The next day…

It was around noon and everyone arrived at the base of the council building. There were hundreds of people in front of the building. The council leaders were standing in front of all the people and they seemed to have been waiting for the team and Sheila. The council leaders were all wearing white robes, but they were all different colored Yoshis. There was a yellow Yoshi, a blue Yoshi, a green Yoshi, a red Yoshi, and a purple Yoshi standing on the top of the stairway by a pedestal. The team also noticed the crown sitting on the pedestal. It was gold and it was decorated with jewels that came from the royal families of before.

"Ah, Chris and Sheila have finally arrived! Hear me my Yoshian brethren! Today we have finally made our decision concerning who should be ruler of our great island! Today marks a new era of a new ruler! Our new ruler will lead us into a time of peace and prosperity! She has proven that she is more than capable of leading us all! I promise you that she will be an even better ruler than the treacherous Leon. I am honored to present to you our new ruler, Queen Sheila!" The yellow Yoshi said.

Sheila walked up to the councilmen and knelt down. The purple Yoshi picked up the crown and sat it on the top of Sheila's head. She stood back up as the crowd began to chant her name in a loud tone. Sheila rose her hand and everyone went silent.

"My loyal subjects! I swear under the eyes of our Yoshian Gods that I will lead you all to a new age! An age of prosperity for not only this island, but for the entire Yoshian Archipelago! I will make sure that we live in peace, just like what our Yoshian ancestors wanted!" Sheila said.

The crowd began to cheer while Team Chaos bowed to Sheila. Immediately after the event, the entire island went in celebration of their new ruler. However, Yoshi and Sheila snuck off to another place while the rest of the team went off to a nearby beach. They walked down a narrow path until they eventually reached a small opening where there was a large waterfall that had water that was in the color of a rainbow come down from over the edge of the cliff and into the pool that was glowing brightly with the colored water. Yoshi sat the basket that he was carrying and opened it. He pulled out a large towel and laid across the flat rocks at the edge of the pool. Sheila sat down and then took off her shoes. She sat her shoes behind her and placed her feet into the warm and soothing water of the pool. Yoshi did the same thing and then pulled out some fruit from the basket. He gave Sheila an orange while he began to eat a melon.

"Why did you take me to our spot after all of these years?" Sheila asked.

"I thought that we should celebrate in private. I know this probably won't be as magical as that night six years ago, but I'd figure that this would still be a good time. I just wanted to take you here so we can enjoy each other's company in peace." Yoshi said as he pulled out some more fruit.

"That is very sweet Yoshi. I don't know what I would do without you." Sheila said.

"I'm sure that you do know what you would do without me. You proved yourself at the base and in the space battle. You have proven that you are worthy of becoming queen and I'm honored to have met you so long ago." Yoshi said.

"So am I Yoshi...Do you want to go for a swim?" Sheila asked.

"I would like to." Yoshi said.

Yoshi and Sheila jumped into the water and began to swim in it for what felt like an eternity. They were splashing the colored water at each other as they continued to enjoy themselves. After about half an hour, they finally decided to get out and dry off. However, when they got out they couldn't help but stare at each other's eyes. The sunlight seemed to have focused a beam of light over the two wet Yoshis. They continued to slowly get closer as each other's dripping bodies started to touch. Their lips then touched as they entered a very passionate kiss. It was another moment of pure eternal bliss for the two Yoshis. The water on their bodies may have cooled, but they were still warm with the heat of the moment. Their noses continued to rub each other for several minutes until they finally separated and pulled some towels and dried themselves.

"Yoshi?" Sheila asked.

"Yeah Sheila?" Yoshi asked.

"That was amazing...I'm glad that we came here again..." Sheila said.

"Me too Sheila...me too..." Yoshi said.

Meanwhile on Yoster's Island…

In an isolated part of the island near the northern coast, Boshi and Kamek where walking around and behaving very suspiciously. They entered a cave that was not seen to the normal eye. Inside, they walked to what seemed to be an ancient shrine. The statue was of an ancient Yoshian god. It was a statue of the fabled Demon Yoshi. In Yoshian Lore, it said that this Yoshi brought true despair to the world with his incredible dark powers. He ruled the world until the fabled Rainbow Yoshi defeated him in battle. It is said that the spirit of the Demon Yoshi is in a blade of a sword. However, nobody knows where it could be. Anything on the Rainbow Yoshi is in complete mystery though. Boshi and Kamek walked towards the statue and looked at with intent.

"Are you ready Boshi? I have taught you all I know about black magic. You should be powerful enough to perform the ritual." Kamek said.

"Yes…I should be able to. The spirit of Leon will make me the strongest Yoshi in history! I can begin my quest to conquer the Yoshian Archipelago!" Boshi said.

"Even though Leon was eradicated physically, he was not destroyed spiritually. When you absorb his spirit, you should gain all the abilities that Leon had before his passing. It was a bittersweet event. While we lost a great leader, we will gain by your absorption of Leon's spirit." Kamek stated.

"Well what are we waiting for! Let's get this thing started!" Boshi exclaimed.

Kamek hoisted up his wand and it began to glow in the color black. Boshi lit a couple of small fires in the hands of the idol and knelt down. He incited an incantation and then stood back up. When he got back up, the flames were put out by the wind that appeared briefly in the cave. Then a green light came out from the statue and started to grow bigger and brighter as Kamek and Boshi stood back. After a brief moment, Leon's body was able to be seen in the light. Leon gave a smirk and then rushed into Boshi's body. Boshi rose into the air as purple energy surrounded his entire body. When the energy faded, Boshi landed back onto the ground. He was a little dizzy, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Is that it Kamek?" Boshi asked.

"It should be. It will take some time before you can get all of the abilities of the spirit. We might as well go back to your castle and wait for it to happen." Kamek said.

Kamek and Boshi got into a speed boat and drove over to an island that was about 20 miles away from Yoster's Island. All that was on the island was a dock and a large castle that was Boshi's home. The castle was originally abandoned until Boshi found and took up residence in it. The castle was black with several tall towers at each of the corners of the castle. There was also a large courtyard in the center of the castle. They parked the boat and walked over to the castle. Boshi pulled out a key and unlocked the door. He pushed it open as he and Kamek walked inside as the door closed.

Later that night…

Boshi was in his private study sitting next to a fire and Kamek was in the next room. Strangely though, Kamek was right by the door as if he were waiting for something. Meanwhile, Boshi was starting to get a strange feeling inside of himself. He started to feel a strange energy cover his body.

"What in the world? It must be the spirit's power coming into me. I'm sure that this is normal." Boshi stated.

However, he started to notice that his color was turning black and that his shoes and fins were turning red. Boshi tried to stand up but a surge of agonizing pain came through his body and it knocked him to the floor. He was now panicking as he began to scream for help.

"What's going on! This isn't right! Kamek! Kamek, get in here! Something is not right! KAMEEEEEEEEK!" Boshi screamed.

An echo was heard after Boshi's last scream and then there was nothing but silence. After a few moments Kamek could here a maniacal laughter coming from the study. It was deeper than Boshi's voice. Kamek walked into the room and saw the Yoshi standing up. It was a black Yoshi with red shoes, red fins, red shoes, and red eyes. He almost looked like the Demon Yoshi in a way.

"As see that you have returned my master…" Kamek stated.

"Kamek? You were able to revive me? the Yoshi asked.

"Yes…I taught this Yoshi the ways of black magic. I used him to revive you. He just didn't know the secrets that I was hiding from him. He did not know that if a person was to absorb a spirit and that it is stronger than the person, it would take over the body of the person in time. I didn't think it would be this fast though. The Yoshi's mind was corrupted by his greed for power." Kamek stated.

"You have truly outdone yourself this time Kamek." the Yoshi said.

"I'm not worthy master..." Kamek said.

"Now if you don't mind, I have to created an army so I can combat against those that oppose me!" the Yoshi said.

"You don't have to sir. While you were gone, I was able to create a small army of a few hundred soldiers for you. This castle is basically the home base for our forces. There are also several other small islands where are forces are residing.

"Then where is my army?"

"They are currently in Yoster's Island trying to get more men. We need to be as strong as possible. The Yoshis that I was able to get were given to me by the Imperial ruler of Othea himself." Kamek said.

"Very well...did this new body give me any new abilities?" the Yoshi asked.

"Yes, you have the abilities of black magic at your control. You are much more powerful than you were last time. However, Leon, I suggest that you wait until we have a large enough army." Kamek stated.

"Excellent…Meanwhile, I'm going to do a little bit of research on the General's and Yoshi's powers. I need to know more about Chaos and of Yoshi's guardian abilities. I may be able to uncover their weaknesses if I look hard enough. In time, they will be destroyed and I will have the world at my control!" Leon said.

Leon began to laugh with Kamek as the night continued onward.

A/N: I decided to make the sequel and put it in the Mario category because it will primarily focus on the Yoshis. As I said earlier, please read the first story before reading this so you know a bit about the people in this story. Hope you like this chapter! Read and Review!
