The Path to Peace

Chapter 6: Eternal Darkness

The team and the two Yoshis continued to chat with each other about their recent success in Seona. The pink Yoshi continued to cradle Aurora as she was slowly drifting asleep.

"Do you know anything about the city of Yavar?" Chris asked.

"The city is built in the tops of the Othean Mountains. There is a trail that you can take to get up there. However, it is very cold up there. Also, it is rumored that the Imperial ruler of the city made the sky remain in eternal night for his own wants. The castle is about another half a mile north of the city itself. If you guys are planning to go up there, I suggest that you bundle up in some warm clothes." the sky blue Yoshi said.

"The cold won't be a concern. We have the proper clothes for such conditions." Chris said.

"Well, before you guys leave, we suggest that you sleep here for tonight. The path is a long one and you will need your rest. There is no need to already be leaving a city after you fought a hard battle and enter another city when you guys are very tired." the pink Yoshi said.

"Very well. We can sleep outside." Chris said.

"That won't be necessary. There are several empty huts by our hut. You guys can sleep in them tonight." the sky blue Yoshi said.

"Okay. We might as well go ahead and get ready for some sleep. It will be getting dark soon." Chris said.

"Have a good night's sleep Team Chaos." the pink Yoshi said.

"Good night!" the entire team said as each member walked out of the door.

The entire team left the hut and then separated into the other huts. Two members went into each hut and closed the doors.

In Yoshi and Sheila's hut...

"Yoshi?" Sheila asked.

"Yes Sheila?" Yoshi asked.

"That moment in that hut...the egg hatching...that was beautiful." Sheila softly said.

"It was very beautiful and it also occurred at an appropriate time. It is the first sign of true peace returning to this island." Yoshi stated.

"Yes..." Sheila said as her eyes slowly began to close.

As soon as Sheila's eyes closed, Yoshi walked over to Sheila and softly kissed her on the cheek. He then walked back towards the other end of the hut and threw a blanket over himself. He pulled out the diamond he found earlier and then pulled out his sword. He slowly and silently began to cut the diamond with the heat from his sword.

"I love you so much Sheila...I will make sure that peace returns to this island. This will be one of two gifts that you will receive in time..." Yoshi thought as he continued to cut the diamond.

In Lex and Pyra's hut...

"Do you think we will ever get home Lex?" Pyra asked.

"Pyra...now is not the time to worry about that. We need to help these Yoshis out before we continue to figure out how to get home." Lex said.

"Yeah your right. We have to help these Yoshis first. We joined this team and this is our current priority." Pyra said.

Lex and Pyra looked in each others eyes for a moment and then before they knew it, they were blushing moderately. Each other noticed and then immediately turned away from each other. Both of their blushes vanished and then they turned towards each other again.

"Well...hehe...we should be getting some sleep." Lex said.

The two pulled out some quilts and laid them over their bodies. Each of them closed their eyes and began to fall asleep.

"Wow...I never noticed how beautiful she really looked..." Lex thought.

"I never noticed the beauty that is in Lex's confident face..." Pyra thought.

The next morning...

The sun just started to break over the horizon, but the team was already getting ready to go to Yavar. Everyone dressed up in white field jackets and in white combat pants. The team gathered back at the hut where they first separated from. They said good-bye to the Othean couple and began north towards the Othean Mountains. They walked on the trail while they were eating some fruit that they packed with them. The team encountered a cave and entered it. They walked through the dark cave slowly as they began to get deeper inside. They got out of the cave and proceeded outside. The sun may have been shining before they entered the tunnel, but it was completely dark outside when they exited the cave. The only sounds the team made was the snow that they stepped in as they proceeded inside the city. The city was primarily made up of stone houses, but there was no signs of life in the entire city. The city was also very small, and it looked more like a village.

"Where is everyone?" Tails confusingly asked.

"The entire city is empty..." Krystal stated.

"Do you think that the Imperial Yoshis killed all of the Otheans here?" Amy asked.

"Let's hope not. I wouldn't think that they would turn to such drastic measures." Chris stated.

"Well we better split up and see if we can find anyone." Lex suggested.

"Good idea." Chris said.

The team broke apart and began to search each house one by one. Unfortunately, each house was completely empty of any Othean or Imperial Yoshis. Pyra was looking over a nearby cliff and then something caught her eye. She pulled out a pair of binoculars and began to look at the strange lights.

"What in the..."Pyra said as she activated her communicator. "Chris, can you come over here for a moment?" Pyra asked.

"I'll be right there Pyra. Give me a moment." Chris said.

Pyra closed her communicator as Chris made his way to the cliff. Pyra gave Chris her binoculars and pointed towards the strange lights. Chris placed the binoculars over his eyes and started looking over the lights. He could see many Imperial Yoshis treating Othean Yoshis horribly.

"Hmm...it looks like a prison camp. That must be where they keep most of the captured Othean Yoshis at. Let me contact Elza for a moment." Chris said.

Chris activated his communicator and contacted Elza. Her face soon appeared on screen.

"Hi Chris. What do you need?" Elza asked.

"Elza, did you know anything about a prison camp just west of the Othean Mountains?" Chris asked.

"No I didn't. The place that I know of that is just to the west of the Othean Mountains is the Loke Valley. What's going on?" Elza asked.

"Apparently the Imperial Yoshis constructed a camp where they could hold the Othean Yoshis that they captured. They are being very cruel to the Othean Yoshis. It is obviously where the Othean Yoshis in the mine near Zircona and in Seona came from. Also, Yavar is completely empty of all signs of life. There is nobody here. I'm assuming that they were taken away by the Imperial Yoshis before we came here. We are going to go ahead and proceed to the castle and then come back to the village." Chris said.

"Okay Chris. I'll look into the prison and try to get some information from the former slaves. Elza out." Elza said.

Chris closed his communicator and the entire team continued north outside of the city. They walked about half a mile until they came to front end of the castle. The castle was designed the same way as the castles of Zircona and Seona. However, it was made completely of crystal. It shone brightly in the eternal moonlight as it was the only bright object in the Othean Mountains. The team slowly opened the door and proceeded inside the castle. The castle was also completely empty as the team continued to proceed through it until they reached the roof. When they opened the door, they saw nobody on the roof. The team slowly proceeded out towards the center of the roof.

"Someone is here...I can feel it..." Krystal said.

All of a sudden, pale blue lightning bolts struck the entire and everyone was encased in blocks of ice. A dark blue Yoshi jumped out from one of the towers and landed in front of the team. The Yoshi had gray eyes with black fins, a black saddle, and black shoes. She also had medium-length black hair with white on the underside. It was holding a large, long crystal scythe. The scythe shone brightly in the darkness as the energy within it could be seen. The Yoshi laughed maniacally and then spoke to the team.

"Well if it isn't Team Chaos...I have been expecting you guys for a while. Obviously, you guys didn't expect to get frozen in blocks of ice. I am Midnight, Imperial ruler of Yavar. I was asked to watch this city for the great ruler of Veara. I am the coldest Yoshi that you will ever meet. Now...I will destroy you guys with just a few swings of my scythe." Midnight said.

Midnight began to charge at the team. However, heat was building up in Yoshi's block of ice and then the ice shattered into hundreds of tiny shards. Yoshi's white underbelly was slightly blue because of the ice, but Yoshi still had his composure. He immediately ran in front of Midnight and kicked her in the stomach. The kick sent Midnight flying back about five feet. Midnight quickly stood back up and started to swing her scythe at Yoshi, but he was easily able to dodge the swing. Midnight fired a laser of energy from the tip of her scythe and it struck Yoshi at high speed. It sent Yoshi flying into a wall and he fell onto the ground. He slowly picked up his sword and stood back up. Midnight fired another laser of energy, but this time Yoshi absorbed it into his sword. The sword immediately grew bright and then fired a plasma bolt at Midnight. It struck her at high speed and it set her on fire. She immediately called in rain and stopped the fire. She was badly burnt and she was wincing with extreme pain. She continued to fight at full strength though. She swung her scythe at Yoshi's feet, but he jumped over the scythe as it passed under him. Yoshi swung his sword at Midnight's back and left a deep cut. Blood started to come out as Midnight called lightning. Several bolts struck several areas of the roof as Yoshi continued to avoid the bolts. A fire aura appeared around Yoshi as it began to swirl around his body. A large tornado of fire formed in front of Yoshi and then engulfed Midnight. Her screams of pain were heard as the tornado started to vanish. Midnight's body was completely covered with burns as she was lying on the ground. She was breathing softly as her eyes began to close.

"I'm sorry Niyoshi...I failed you..." Midnight whispered.

Midnight's breathing stopped as Yoshi turned around towards his frozen teammates. He fired small bolts of heat at the blocks of ice and melted the ice into small puddles. The entire team was shivering badly as they were freezing cold.

"G-G-G-Good j-job Y-Yoshi..." Chris said.

"Come on guys. Let's get you guys inside so you can warm up." Yoshi said as he escorted the team inside.

Meanwhile at Veara...

"Yes...alright. Inform the troops and tell them to meet at the front of the castle." Niyoshi said as he turned the phone off.

"What happened?" Magnus asked.

"Team Chaos has just taken Yavar. We will be expecting them here sometime within the next 48 hours. We need to get our remaining forces ready for the imminent attack by Team Chaos. You will be placed on the front lines in the Var Hills. That is the entrance to the city and I am placing a large army at that sight. Complain and I will kill you. It only serves you right for your earlier action." Niyoshi said.

Niyoshi left Magnus and then stepped outside onto a balcony on a lower level of the castle. The rest of the available Imperial troops were standing outside of the castle to hear from Niyoshi.

"My fellow Imperials! We stand here today as the only Imperial city on Othea that hasn't been taken by Team Chaos. Their attack is inevitable and we will be ready. This will be the time that we will shine! Some of you will be in the Var Hills and the rest of you will be in the city. We need to start getting ready, so no more talking. Get ready and prepare yourselves! Let's show that foolish team what real Imperial Yoshis are made of!" Niyoshi said.

A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update! I was bogged down with work and school. I hope that this was worth the wait. I know that there wasn't exactly much action, but anything is better than nothing! I was also busy playing Halo on my computer. I downloaded the trial version and I may get the full version. If any of you all are Halo players, my screen name is Gen Chaos. I am still looking for anybody who would be interested in making art of my fan characters! I hope you liked how I placed Lex and Pyra in Lex! I tried the best I could for this chapter. Anyway, Read and Review!
