The Path to Peace
Chapter 4: The Legacy Continues
The team arrived at the building where the Othean slaves were held and Yoshi typed the password on the keypad. The door opened and the team walked inside. All of the Yoshis were awake and the blue Yoshi that the team met earlier was in front of all of them.
"Did you take care of the Imperial ruler?" the Yoshi asked.
"She's gone and you guys are now free. You won't have to worry about being slaves anymore. This city is now back in your rule." Yoshi said.
"Thank you very much for helping us return to the lives that our people once had. However, our fate of becoming slaves for the Imperial Yoshis is nowhere near as bad as what they are doing to the Othean Yoshis in Seona."
"What are you talking about? Is Seona another major city?" Lex asked.
"Seona is the city that is on the eastern coast of the island. The city is on the base of the Othean Mountains. It is where most ships arrive to drop off goods or supplies. However, the docks there haven't received a shipment from other islands since the war began. The only ships that actually arrived in the last 300 years were transport ships from Yoshi's Island. The king there sent some troops here to try and stop the fighting. Unfortunately, the soldiers that were sent here actually joined the Imperial cause. They were all victims of their own greed and power. It is also rumored that one of the soldiers is actually the Imperial ruler of Seona. We have also heard of the terrible things that have been going on at Seona. We heard that the Imperials are using that city for their "tests." They are always transporting captured Othean Yoshis from their prison to the city of Seona. We have heard that they are doing terrible experiments on the Othean Yoshis. Many Otheans have died from their experiments on them. Rumor has it that the great ruler of Veara is trying to create the ultimate Yoshi. Rumor also had it that the dark king of Yoshi's Island was involved with the project for a time. It is said that the city weather is always cloudy and it rains with the tears of the tortured Othean Yoshis that were killed by their experiments." the Yoshi said.
"I was there...and I saw that the gruesome sights that nobody should ever see..." a voice said.
"Whomever said that, please reveal yourself." Tails said.
A orange male Yoshi came out from the crowd and stood by the blue Yoshi. He was very timid and he had fear in his eyes.
"I saw it...I saw what they did to the Otheans there...They forced some sort of liquid down their throats and then they threw them into an observation pit. What I witnessed next was something that I would never forget. Within minutes, the Yoshi started to mutate into hideous beings. The Yoshi would scream of agonizing pain, but the scientists just observed the transformation and took notes. Unfortunately, I don't know how they transformed, because they took me away from the area as it began. The Imperial Yoshis told me that I would not fit their requirements for their experiments and sent me here. I may not have seen the transformation itself, but I could picture it in my head with the Othean Yoshi's screams of pain." the orange Yoshi said.
"That is horrible! We need to get back to the village and inform Chris about Seona!" Amy said.
"We can't right now. The sky is getting dark and we can't risk our safety by wandering in the forest. We will stay here for tonight and then we will leave the city and return to Chris." Sonic said.
"I agree with Sonic. We will sleep in the castle tonight and we will leave first thing in the morning." Tails said.
The team left the building and entered the castle while the Othean Yoshis went to the other buildings and started to rebuild their lives. Most of the Otheans went to a nearby armory to arm themselves with the swords that the Imperial guards were using. The team found some empty rooms and separated into each room. Everyone settled in and immediately fell asleep. However, Yoshi and Sheila snuck outside the castle and walked about half a mile to Gem Lake. It was a large lake, but it was still within the city. The water was sparkling brightly with the light of the full moon. They took their shoes off and dipped their sore feet into the shining water.
"I wish that I knew what was going on at this island sooner..." Sheila softly said.
"Why?" Yoshi asked.
"I could have probably done something about it...This island could have been at peace earlier if I knew of the terrible things that the Imperial Yoshis were doing.." Sheila said.
"Don't blame yourself. We will bring this island to peace. We will eliminate the Imperial Yoshis for what they have done. You only didn't knew because Leon was always hiding these secrets. It was something that was beyond your control. I promise that we will succeed." Yoshi confidently said.
"I know we will...we have to do our job in order to bring peace. I just hope we can get to that city before they finally are successful." Sheila said.
"I know we will. We haven't failed yet and we never will. We will just make sure that those who traitors of Yoshi's Island suffer the most severe consequences for their actions." Yoshi said.
"Yes...wow...look at how beautiful this water is..." Sheila said.
"It is very beautiful...it is said that the most amazing gems are supposed to be here." Yoshi said.
"This island is incredible..." Sheila softly said as she laid her head down on Yoshi's lap.
They continued to stare at the water for about another half an hour until they decided that they should be getting some rest. Sheila lifted her head up and stood back up. Yoshi continued to sit down and soak his feet in the water.
"Are you coming Yoshi?" Sheila said as she was getting her shoes on.
"I'll come in just a few minutes. I just want to look at the lake a little while longer." Yoshi said.
"Okay Yoshi, see you back at the castle." Sheila said.
Sheila gave Yoshi a kiss on the cheek and Yoshi did the same thing. Sheila left back towards the bright castle as Yoshi continues to stare at the water. He eventually stood back and got into his shoes. While he was tying his shoes, he noticed a shine coming from a nearby bush. He walked to the bush and started to look through it. He found what was making the shine and pulled it out of the bush. It was a diamond that had a shine that was extremely bright. It was pretty small, but it was made perfectly. It definitely looked like something of great value. Yoshi continued to look at the diamond as he rotated it with his hand. An idea came to mind and Yoshi smirked. He placed the diamond in a small bag under his saddle and closed. He placed the bag back under his saddle and started to go back to the castle.
Elsewhere on Othea...
Leon was walking down a dirt path as the night settled in and it was approaching midnight. He arrived at the entrance to the Forbidden Zone. There were about three dozen Imperial guards standing near a large campsite. There was a fire burning as it was the only source of light in the area. Leon approached the guards as they armed their swords.
"Halt! Who are you? Nobody enters this area without special permission from king Niyoshi himself!" one guard said.
"My name is Leon...I was given permission by Niyoshi to enter this area. I'm sure he has informed you of my arrival." Leon said.
"So you are Leon! We have be expecting you!" the guard said.
"Now let me go through..." Leon ordered.
"Sorry sir, but we can't let you in right now. It is extremely dangerous to enter the Forbidden Zone period. Entering it in the middle of night is suicide! We suggest that you stay here for the night until the morning." the guard said.
"Fine..." Leon said.
Leon walked over to the nearby camp and sat down on a log. Another guard noticed Leon and decided to talk with him.
"So why do you want to go to the Forbidden Zone?" the guard asked.
"That is none of your business..." Leon coldly said.
After Leon spoke, the guard left him and silence filled the camp as Leon finally decided to get some rest.
The next morning at Zircona...
The team woke up and ate some food that they packed. After they were finished, they left the castle and said their good-byes. The Otheans opened the gate and the team went through it as the Otheans closed it. They walked for about two hours when they finally arrived back at the village. The immediately went towards the medicine Yoshi's hut and went inside. The medicine Yoshi was inside and treating the red Yoshi that the team saw at the mine. The sword Yoshi gave him vanished several hours ago. The medicine Yoshi turned around and saw the team behind her.
"Hello everyone. We have heard about your success at Zircona. That is the first amount of momentum that the Othean Yoshis have gotten in almost 300 years. You guys are the real deal." the medicine Yoshi said.
"It's nice to know that things are okay here too. Where is Chris?" Pyra asked.
"He left about an hour ago to the leader's hut. It is about ten huts east of this one." the medicine Yoshi said.
"Thank you. We better go see what has been going on." Yoshi said as he and the rest of the team tuned around.
"Hang on. Yoshi, let me help you with that cut." the medicine Yoshi said as she saw the cut on Yoshi's arm.
"Don't worry about it. The bleeding stopped long ago." Yoshi stated.
"No, I must insist. This will just take a moment." the medicine Yoshi said.
She went to a nearby cabinet and pulled out a small bottle. The bottle was filled with a green cream. She took a wooden stick and dipped into the cream. She pulled the stick out and slowly covered the cut with the cream. It stung Yoshi for a brief moment but it subsided immediately. The medicine Yoshi let the cream set for about 30 seconds and then got a wet cloth. She rubbed the cream off of Yoshi's arm and the cut was instantly gone. Yoshi and the team stood in shock about how quick it took to get rid of the cut.
"What was in that cream?" Rouge asked.
"It's a special elixir created for the purpose of healing cuts. It just takes a few seconds to heal the cut and it has been used in my family for generations. The ingredients are a family secret." the medicine Yoshi said.
"Well...thanks!" Yoshi said.
"Don't worry about it." the medicine Yoshi said.
The team left the hut and walked to the leader's hut. They stepped inside and saw Chris and the violet Yoshi that attacked him earlier talking to each other. Chris still had the bandage on his head but he was acting like he wasn't injured at all.
"Hey guys! Good job out there in Zircona! Apparently, the Othean Yoshis you rescued were able to inform us what you guys did over there. Oh, by the way, this is the leader of the resistance movement. Her name is Elza. She is actually a fourth-generation leader for this movement." Chris said.
"Chris, have you heard about the city of Seona?" Lex asked.
"No I haven't. Is there something that I should be knowing?" Chris asked.
"Yes sir. Apparently, they have been using Seona as a testing site for various experiments. We heard from someone that they are actually mutating the capture Othean Yoshis over there! Many are dying from these experiments! We need to stop them before it is too late!" Lex said.
"Yes...it is a horrible place for the Othean Yoshis right now. That is why nobody wants to get captured, because if they do, they are likely going to become an experiment." Elza said.
"Don't worry Elza! We will stop them before more Othean Yoshis are murdered! We better get going team! Every second we waste means that another Othean Yoshi dies!" Chris said.
"The city is to the north sir." Pyra stated.
"Okay! Elza, make sure that no Othean Yoshis leave the village or Zircona! You now have communications with them, so you can tell them without the need to leave." Chris said.
"Okay Chris. I know how to use this technology, so there will be no concerns. Be careful out there." Elza said.
"We will." Chris said.
The team left the hut and started to proceed north to the city of Seona.
Meanwhile, with Leon...
Leon just exited a cave that he navigated through and found himself in what seemed to be another world. The Tower of Demons was about a mile away as Leon could easily see the tower. The entire area was surrounded by mountains and the sky was red in the color of blood. Leon approached the demonic tower after walking for about ten minutes. The tower was only about 150 feet tall and it wasn't very wide. However, it was completely black with several pictures of dark dragons on it. There also seemed to a statue at the top, but Leon couldn't tell what it was. He slowly opened the door and stepped inside. The inside of the tower was extremely dark. Leon pulled out a flashlight and turned it on. He took notice of what he saw. The tower looked like it was abandoned for several hundred years. Everything was completely covered in dust. Leon used his powers of black magic to summon a wind inside and blow the dust out of the tower. He took notice of the items inside. There was a journal on the floor where a table used to be before it rotted away. Leon couldn't read it because it was written in a language he couldn't understand. The bed looked somewhat modern, but it was only a quilt over a thick piece of cloth on a wooden frame. The frame looked like it was about to collapse very soon. Leon looked around the room to see if there were any pictures of the Demon Yoshi, but apparently he made sure that everything about him besides his journal was erased. Leon walked the spiral staircase to the top of the tower. He had to occasionally jump over some steps, because they would collapse under his weight. He opened the hatch to the roof and climbed out. All that was up there was a statue of the Demon Yoshi himself. It almost looked like the one in Yoster's Island except that one of the arms was held high with a sword in it's hand. Leon walked up to the statue and blew the dust away from the message on the base of the statue.
Only a person with a dark soul that is worthy of being compared to the Demon Yoshi will be allowed to wield the sword of ultimate evil. If one is worthy, they must perform the Incantation of Demons.
Leon walked away from the statue and stood in the center of the roof. A faint red aura appeared around his body as Leon began the incantation. The sky also started to darken in color as lightning started to appear from the clouds. A purple fog also surrounded the tower as the lightning bolts started to strike the statue. The strikes of the lightning bolts started to increase in speed and power as Leon was starting to end the incantation. His body was being attacked by the strongest energies that he has ever felt as he was starting to worry if he wasn't going to make it. The fog rose around Leon and started to cover his body in evil energy. The energy was getting stronger with each passing second as Leon started growing weaker. He continued to fight the energy and was able to finish the incantation. A large lightning bolt destroyed the statue and the for around Leon cleared. He was now lying on the ground and panting heavily. When he opened his eyes, he saw a sword that was standing in a pedestal where the statue was. He slowly got up and looked at the sword. It was completely black with purple flames on the blade that connected to the hilt. The hilt also had spikes protruding from the sides. Leon walked behind the sword and grabbed the hilt with both hands. He started pulling on the sword with all of his strength as he was starting to feel a surge of energy come through his body. The sword them came out of the pedestal and Leon triumphantly held it in one hand. All of a sudden, a dark beam appeared around Leon as he began to levitate in the air. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck him and Leon could feel the energy that was now in his body. His eyes, his shoes, his fins, and his saddle started to turn purple as a dark purple aura surrounded his body. He gently landed back on the ground and took notice of his new physical features and the dark purple aura surrounding his body. He laughed quietly as he took notice of the Doomsday Sword. He held the sword tightly and stood into position.
"Let's see what we can do...Chaos...Control!" Leon said.
A dark flash of light engulfed Leon and before he knew it, he was near the camp where the Imperial guards were. He walked over to the guards as they saw him coming back from the Forbidden Zone. However, they noticed his new look and they knew it was the look of the Demon Yoshi.
"Hey, isn't that Leon?" one guard asked.
"Yeah it is, but it looks like he has become the Demon Yoshi!" another guard said.
"We have to kill him! Otherwise, he will destroy us all!" another guard stated.
The guards pulled out their swords and waited for Leon to get close. Leon could tell what they were up to and prepared to fight. He threw his sword straight into a guard. it pierced his armor and his body as he was instantly dead. Leon also used Chaos Spears to eliminate several other guards. He then decided to eliminate the panicking soldiers with a Chaos Blast. He charged his energy and released it with explosive force. All of the guards were instantly dead as Leon continued to walk through their blood-stained bodies and the blood that covered the ground. He simply gave an evil smirk at his success and continued to leave the camp. A new era of evil has come as not only did Leon turn into the Demon Yoshi, he also turned into the dark Guardian of Chaos. The world was in for the greatest threat in its entire history as the ultimate evil has been revived once again...
