The Path to Peace

Chapter 7: Hopes and Dreams

The team immediately returned to the village after their successful operations at Seona and Yavar. All of the three major cities have been captured by the team after several successful operations. The Othean Yoshis at Zircona were rebuilding their lives. The Othean Yoshis at Seona have started to destroy the former research base and help support the families that lost loved ones to the experiments with the gems that the Imperial Yoshis left. The skies in Yavar started to return to normal after Midnight's magic began to fade away. Othean Yoshis have actually started to move back into the city of Yavar. All eyes now pointed the Veara, the capitol of Othea. With all of the major cities captured, the door was wide open for the team to enter Veara and capture it. The team entered Elza's hut and found her trying to monitor enemy communications on the console.

"Team Chaos! Great job out there in Seona and Yavar. Most of the island is finally back in Othean control! The Otheans are actually happy now that we have the momentum on our side! Now we can prepare for Veara. Now, what was exactly happening at that prison camp?" Elza asked.

"The Imperial Yoshis were torturing the captured Othean Yoshis when we saw it. Although, even with binoculars, we couldn't get an outstanding view of the prison camp." Chris said.

"Well, I guess it's best that we rescue tho-" Elza said before she was interrupted when the sound of an alarm started to ring on the console and a voice came on.

"Attention all Imperial Yoshis! This is the prison commander! A large group of Othean Yoshis has started to attack our forces and are stealing their weapons! They are also releasing the other captured Othean Yoshis! We are being pushed back and we need all of the help we can get! Combat is most intense in Sector 7E! All available forces proceed there immediately! Failure to do so will lead to execution for treason!" the prison commander said.

"Wow...the Othean are actually starting to fight the Imperials! They must have heard about you guys and what you all have done! You have given everyone a new sense of hope and it is showing across the island! The Otheans have actually garnered enough courage to start fighting the Imperial Yoshis again! This is a glorious day for all of Othea!" Elza said as the team started to cheer.

Meanwhile at Leon's castle...

Leon had recently arrived back at the castle and immediately started training with his new sword and abilities. He was performing moves that were similar to Chris' but he was using them in the most destructive ways possible. He was behind the castle and testing his Chaos Spears at several types of targets. He then fired a Chaos Spear at the wall behind and it left a large hole for him to walk through. he reentered the castle and found Kamek waiting for Leon in the hallway.

"So, how are you new abilities master?" Kamek asked.

"Outstanding...with these abilities, I can actually defeat that pesky Team Chaos this time. Even Chris will have a very hard time with me! However, we must wait for the right moment and begin to create a proper army. I don't think Niyoshi is going to last much longer and I want to get as many Imperial troops as possible if that is the case. Now I will be going to bed. I need to get some rest after all that intense training. Good night Kamek." Leon said as he began to walk to his room.

"Good night master..." Kamek said.

Leon walked down the hallway and entered his room. He closed the door and locked it. He placed his sword on a nearby table and then got into his large, black bed. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. However, he immediately began to toss and turn as something started to bother Leon.

"Dream...haunting me again...that day..." Leon mumbled in his sleep.

Three years ago...

Leon and a female sky blue Yoshi were running through a forest in Othea. The sky blue Yoshi had blue eyes, a white saddle, red fins, blue shoes, a white underbelly, and medium-length yellow hair. The two were being pursued by a group of Othean Yoshis that were swinging swords in the air.

"Come on Cassandra! We have to lose these guys!" Leon yelled.

"Don't worry Leon! I won't let you down!" Cassandra said.

The two continued to run until another group of Othean Yoshis jumped out from the trees and surrounded the two. Leon pulled out his sword and began attacking the Otheans. Cassandra was immediately jumped as Leon frantically tried to get the Othean Yoshis off of her. After about three minutes of fighting, the remaining Othean Yoshis stopped fighting and Leon did the same.

"You won't get away with killing my fellow Otheans you Imperial!" a younger Elza said.

"We are not Imperial Yoshis! We are from Yoshi's Island! We just simply came here for a visit! Now look at what you did!" Leon exclaimed.

Everyone looked towards Cassandra's body. She was lying on the ground and she was mortally wounded. She was covered in the blood that came from the multiple cuts all over her body. Her once shining hair was now stained with her own blood. The Othean Yoshis quickly picked her up and rushed her to their village. Leon followed them as they entered the medicine hut. Leon nervously waited outside of the room where the medicine Yoshi was examining Cassandra. After ten minutes passed, the medicine Yoshi came out of the room with a grim expression on her face.

"I'm afraid that there is nothing we can do to save your friend's life. She is going to die..." the medicine Yoshi said.

"NO! NO! This can't be true!" Leon said as tears started to fill his eyes.

"Unfortunately there is nothing that could heal her injuries. I can stop the external blood flow, but she is internally wounded and bleeding from the inside. She only has a few more minutes to live..." the medicine Yoshi said.

Leon pushed the medicine Yoshi aside and ran inside the room where Cassandra was in. He immediately knelt besides her and started talking to her.

"Cassandra...it's going to be alright..." Leon said as he held Cassandra's head and started to crying even more.

"Leon...it's not your fault. Things happen...don't let my death ruin your life. Continue to do what you want to and remain happy." Cassandra said.

"Sorry for interrupting..." the medicine Yoshi said as she walked into the room. "There is one thing we can try but it is extremely dangerous. We can perform a ritual that will let you absorb her spirit, but you could be killed in the process." the medicine Yoshi said.

"I DON'T CARE! PERFORM THE RITUAL!" Leon exclaimed.

"Very well..." the medicine Yoshi said.

The Yoshi spoke an incantation as Cassandra's spirit appeared from outside of her body. Her spirit had a smile on her face as the room grew dark. When the medicine Yoshi finished the incantation, Cassandra's spirit rushed into Leon's body. Leon felt a strong energy inside himself, but he was unhurt.

"Don't worry Cassandra...your last words will remain with me forever..." Leon said.

The next morning present time...

Leon was awake and walked towards the library. Kamek was inside looking at some of the books when Leon stepped in the room.

"Did you sleep well Leon?" Kamek asked.

"Not really...I had that dream again. Anyway, do we have any female troops?" Leon asked.

"Yes sir, but why?" Kamek asked.

"No questions! Bring one to me and inform her to wait for me in the center of the courtyard." Leon ordered.

"Yes master..." Kamek said as he began to leave the library.

"I should be able to bring her back...my long wait will finally come to an end..." Leon thought.

Three hours later...

A green female soldier was waiting in the center of the courtyard as she was ordered. She had blue eyes, with red fins, red shoes, a white underbelly, and a light green saddle. Suddenly, the sky turned red as the Yoshi started to become nervous. All of a sudden, the ground she was on, rose in the shape of a tower that rose high into the sky. The Imperial Yoshi was nervously looking around the red sky and its blood colored clouds. Leon appeared in the sky in a flash of light. He was flying with his purple dragon wings. He was looking at the soldier menacingly as a dark purple aura surrounded his entire body. He summoned a purple fog to completely cover the Yoshi as he summoned red lightning to strike her multiple times. Her screams of pain and fear could be heard for miles. Leon then created a ball of black energy in his hand. He fired a beam of dark energy at the Yoshi. The beam started to brighten in brief flashes until it vanished. Leon then had a white aura around him as Cassandra's spirit slowly came out of his body. he then launched Cassandra's spirit into the Yoshi's body. He gently landed on the tower as the fog started to clear. The Yoshi was now sky blue in color and had all of Cassandra's features. She was laying on the ground and slowly opening her eyes.

"Yes...yes...YES!" Leon said as he began to laugh maniacally.

A/N: I originally planned for this chapter to be a battle scene, but I decided to make it more of a psychological effect. I hope you all enjoy it! I now have an account on DA, so if you want to know it, just ask! Read and review everyone!
