The Path to Peace

Chapter 9: Reversal of Fortune

"Okay Team Chaos, he is what we will be doing tomorrow. We are going to strike the city of Veara through the Kafe Hills on the western side of the city. The entire city of Veara is walled off and the only way to enter the city is to break through the eastern gate. The Imperial Yoshis will be gathering in the Kafe Hills and they will be ready for our assault. Even though they lost most of their force, they still remain as a strong threat. The Imperial king always keeps his elite Imperial guards in his city. We will have to push them back into the city and eliminate them from within. There will be very intense close quarters combat within the city and we need to be cautious so we don't end up hurting any allies. All of these soldiers will listen to your orders through the communications headsets that I have given to the leaders. When we get inside the city, you guys will infiltrate Veara's castle and then eliminate the Imperial ruler. However, we do not know what awaits in that castle so use the highest caution while proceeding through the castle. We have reason to believe that there may be some Othean Yoshis held against their will inside the city. If you encounter any that are still alive, make sure that you try to get as many out of the city as possible. When you eliminate the Imperial king, inform all of the commanders about our victory. You will begin your march towards Veara in the morning. You will proceed west through Zircona. We have been getting several reports that many Othean Yoshis there will be willing to join the battle. When you arrive there, inform them of our plans. After you give them the briefing, continue west on the path. You will then proceed north when you encounter a fork in the road. Continue north until you reach the Kafe Hills and begin the operation. Are there any questions team?" Elza asked.

"No maam!" the entire team said.

"Good...get yourselves some rest. You will begin as soon as the sun begins to peak over the horizon." Elza said as she began to roll up the map on the table.

The team left the hut and entered their own huts. Each member started to fall asleep as the sun began to set.

Later that evening...

Yoshi and Sheila snuck outside their huts and sat down near the water rising up and down on the coastline. The moon shone brightly as its shine gave the water a peaceful shimmer. The stars were shining brightly with unquestionable beauty. Yoshi and Sheila sat down and began to listen to the calming sound of the waves hitting the shore.

"This nightmare is almost over Yoshi." Sheila softly said.

"Yeah...the island will soon be finally liberated and peace can return in full force to the entire Yoshi Archipelago." Yoshi said.

"Even with all of the horrible things happening on this island, there have been so many beautiful things about it and its' people." Sheila said.

"Yes...we will definitely have to come back and visit once this war is over. When we make our way into the city tomorrow, I will not let you leave the sight of my eyes. I will make sure that you won't get hurt out there Sheila!" Yoshi confidently said.

"Thank you...I will make sure that I do the same for you. I care about you too much to let you get hurt out there. We have known each other for our entire lives and I won't let our relationship end like this." Sheila said.

"Don't worry...it won't end like this. I can assure you of that." Yoshi said.

"I want to have a little more fun before we go back to bed. You want to mess around in the water?" Sheila asked.

"Sure!" Yoshi said.

Yoshi and Sheila took their shoes off and walked into the shallow part of the water. The small waves were pushing them back only by a small margin. One wave knocked Yoshi off balance and Sheila took the opportunity. She got behind Yoshi and pushed him down. Yoshi got struck by a small wave in the face as he started to stand back up. He gave a mischievous look and then pushed Sheila into the water. Sheila started to splash Yoshi with the water as Yoshi kept getting pushed back by the waves. Yoshi started to run away and Sheila immediately began to pursue Yoshi. Sheila tackled Yoshi and both began rolling around the water laughing. Suddenly, a larger wave appeared and struck both Yoshi and Sheila. The water completely covered Yoshi and Sheila. When the water receded, Sheila was laying on top of Yoshi's body face to face. They were gazing in each other's eyes as the water started to roll of their soaked scales and into the ground. They grew closer and kissed each other on the lips. The kiss lasted for several minutes until they finally separated from each other for air.

"I love you Yoshi..." Sheila softly said.

"I love you too Sheila..." Yoshi softly said.

Yoshi and Sheila stood back up, put their shoes on, and began to return to their huts. Yoshi placed his arm around Sheila's neck as they smiled together as they walked back into their huts.

The next morning, estimated around 6:30 A.M...

Everyone gathered at the western edge of the village and then began to march towards Zircona. They marched for about two hours until they entered Zircona. There was a moderate amount of Othean Yoshis with swords waiting in front of the castle. Chris gave the briefing to the Othean Yoshis and everyone left the city within half an hour. The continued west until they reached to fork. They turned towards the north and proceed onward. After marching for another hour, the Kafe Hills came into view. It was now around 10:00 A.M. As predicted, the Imperial Yoshis were already gathered in the hills waiting for the Othean Yoshis. There were also several attack choppers armed with machine guns hovering nearby. Chris immediately ordered the Otheans to attack as they began their charge to the oncoming Imperial Yoshis. Everyone's yells could be heard throughout the entire field as the sounds of metal clashing against each other started to drown out the voices. Sirens started to go off in the city as the attack choppers began to fire at the Othean Yoshis. Tails armed an RPG with a special rocket that he developed and aimed towards the center chopper. He fired the rocket and it homed in on the chopper. The chopper exploded and several other choppers exploded because the debris from the first chopper severely damaged the other choppers. Many Othean Yoshis were being pulled out from the field by medics. Meanwhile the team started using their firearms to push the Imperial Yoshis back as they slowly pushed them back towards the gate. The team took the opportunity to break through and used their jetpacks to fly over the battlefield and land in front of the gate. Magnus was waiting in front of the gate with several other Imperial Yoshis.

"Well, well, well...if it isn't the biggest coward of the Imperial army!" Chris stated.

"Ha! You won't be getting in this time! Charge men!" Magnus ordered.

The soldiers charged towards the team but they easily took care of the soldiers. Magnus charged towards Chris but Chris thrusted his sword through Magnus' armor and body at the last second. Chris pulled the sword out of Magnus and simply pushed his body onto the ground. The team simply proceeded towards the gate and set a charge on it. They immediately ran for cover and detonated the charge. The gate collapsed in the explosion and the team immediately proceeded into the city. The city was filled with many buildings made of bricks and jewels. The castle stood tall over the city in its pristine beauty. It was about one and a half times taller than every other castle. It was completely made of diamonds and the towers all had flat tops that were probably the castle's roofs. The team fought through several small waves of soldiers to reach the front of the castle.

"This is it team! We have been waiting for this moment for too long! Let's move out!" Chris said.

The team immediately rushed through several rooms full of soldiers and eliminated them all. Then the team entered a large, black room that had nothing in it. The team slowly proceeded towards the center of the room and then a large light appeared from nowhere. The team looked up and noticed a set of doors opening and revealing the sunlight from outside. All of a sudden, the ground under the team rose and began approaching the roof. Several metal Yoshis appeared from nowhere and immediately began to attack the team. The team started engaging in hand to hand combat with the metal Yoshis. Chris thrusted his sword into a metal Yoshi and launched him into several other metal Yoshis. It sent them off the platform and falling towards the cold, hard floor below. Fox and Krystal continued to strike several metal Yoshis with their staffs, but they weren't providing much of an effect. Tails rolled towards another metal Yoshi and kicked it high into the air and off of the platform. Yoshi charged the energy within his sword and then struck several metal Yoshis around him. The sword's slash instantly destroyed each metal Yoshi as they were being struck. Sonic grabbed a metal Yoshi's arm and threw it off of the platform. Knuckles punched the final metal Yoshi. The punch went straight through the metal Yoshi. Knuckles then pulled out his Emerald Sword with his right hand and thrusted the sword through the metal Yoshi's head. As the platform rose into the roof, Knuckles pulled his fist out and then released one final punch. The punch sent the metal Yoshi flying off of the roof and into the battlefield that was the city below. The slowly exited the center of the tower and walked towards the edges of the roof. The sun was shining brightly in the cloudless, blue skies above. All of a sudden, everyone on the team except Chris was engulfed in several small energy fields that kept them immobile. Niyoshi appeared from behind another tower and flew towards the roof that the team was standing on. He was flying on medium-sized purple dragon wings that he created with his own magic. He gently landed on the ground and pulled out his sword as his wings began to disappear. Chris slowly approached Niyoshi and pulled out the Sword of Chaos.

"So you are the ruler of this empire...aren't you?" Chris asked.

"You are correct...I am Niyoshi the Imperial king of the island of Othea. I have ruled over this island now for about seven years. My job is to make sure that this island continues to prosper and that those pathetic Othean Yoshis stay in their place." Niyoshi coldly said.

"Continues to prosper? Are you kidding me? How is this island supposed to proper if you are keeping people in mediocre villages and using them for your mining and experimentation!" Chris stated.

"That is none of your business! I will now take care of you like how you killed the former king of Yoshi's Island!" Niyoshi said.

"Wait! How do you know Leon?" Chris asked.

"Me and Leon were very good friends. We actually formed a pact about five years ago to form a Yoshian empire over the entire planet. He knew about the Yoshis he sent that joined the Imperial cause because that was his intention! I also let him use some of my troops if ever needed assistance in anything." Niyoshi stated.

"Well I guess I have to eliminate the other half of the pact then!" Chris stated.

"You won't stand a chance against my sword and magical abilities!" Niyoshi stated.

The two immediately charged at each other and started to swing their swords. The only things that made contact as they passed by each other was the metal of their swords. Both of them slid to a stop and turned around. Niyoshi charged the energy in his sword and fired several small energy beams from the jewels on his sword. Chris avoided most of the energy beams, but one energy beam struck Chris in the arm. It didn't phase him at all and then fired a more powerful beam of energy from his sword. Niyoshi easily dodged the beam and continued to swing his sword at Chris. Chris began to guard against the strikes and then gave a sweeping kick at Niyoshi's feet. It knocked Niyoshi down onto the ground. Chris tried to thrust his sword into Niyoshi, but he rolled to the side at the last minute. Niyoshi stood back up and swung his sword at Chris' left arm. However, it missed his arm but it did strike his communicator. His communicator cover was sliced off and fell to the floor. The communicator began to spark and Chris immediately threw it off of his arm. Niyoshi tried to take the opportunity to strike, but Chris was still able to guard against the blows. Chris jumped over Niyoshi, but he grabbed his leg and threw him back onto the ground. Chris rolled to the side to avoid Niyoshi's thrust. Niyoshi continued to pursue Chris as Chris stopped rolling. Chris kicked Niyoshi high into the air and stood back up. When Niyoshi landed, he began to pant with deep breaths. Chris walked towards Niyoshi and struck his wrists and ankles with several small beams of energy. Niyoshi struggled back up, but Chris pulled another sweeping kick and Niyoshi fell to the floor again. He tried to stand back up, but he was completely unable to.

"Come on...kill me now...just know that even with me gone, the Imperial Yoshis will always prevail in the end...You will never win the war against evil Chris..." Niyoshi said in between pants.

Niyoshi closed his eyes and remained silent. Chris simply turned around and threw his sword into the air. The tip aimed down towards the ground and went through Niyoshi's chest. Instantly, Niyoshi's breathing stopped and his body became motionless. Chris pulled the sword out of Niyoshi as the energy barriers around the team members vanished. Chris silently motioned the team to follow him as they walked down the nearby stairway. They walked through an empty hallway to the lower balcony of the castle. The entire Othean army was standing in front of the castle. Chris motioned for everyone o be silent as he began to speak.

"Yoshis of Othea! I am glad to inform you that the Imperial king is now dead! That is correct! Form here on, the island of Othea will forever remain in Othean rule and be rid of all Imperial Yoshis! You may now finally return to the lives that your people once had and live in peace!"

The crowd began to cheer loudly as the team left the balcony and began to proceed back downstairs.

"Peace has finally returned...the world is now one step closer to total peace..." Chris thought.

A/N: Somehow I was actually able to get this done even if I should be getting ready for my AP US History test! There is only one more chapter in this part in the series and I am really looking forward to writing it very soon! Hope that you all enjoy this and read and review!
