The winds are still calm as AY and I make our way back to the village. I'm guessing that BY was the reason why the weather was so bad. The only thing that still questions me is where her body went. I don't know if she was able to escape and leave her brother behind like a deceiver or if her body was blended into the snow and I couldn't see it. There are many questions I have without answers, but that'll have to come later. I just want to get back out of this cold weather. AY looks slightly pale and wishes not to stay, so for a change of plans, she rides on my back this time as we exit the snow desert.
The ride out of the snow desert was much shorter than I thought. However, the village was still a distance away. Was the snow desert fading? I'm not sure, but it feels warmer now. As I keep running, the village appears in the distance, but something was different. As I advance closer, it's on fire! AY sees it and she takes to the skies as I hop on her, knowing it would be quicker. It's falling very quickly as AY darts down going faster than ever. I barely manage to hang on as we land, but when I look around, nobody is here. I was confused for the minute. When I thought all hope was lost for this broken-down area, the same yoshi that greeted me here appeared. He didn't look like he was on his last seconds of life as he began to tell me what happened.
"ABY, the swarm came. There were millions of them. In the blink of an eye, they tore the place apart. We were defenseless to their power and surprise. You must defeat it. Avenge us our almighty one. Avenge... us..."
I couldn't help but feel sad for him as he said his last words. He's one that welcomed me here and one of the only yoshies that had trust in me after I was sent away. I wouldn't let his wish fall to shame and AY knew the same. Whatever the swarm was, it had to be stopped. AY and I take to the skies as we go along on the unknown land of Yoshi's World.
The characteristics of this world look so barren and dry! However, I can sense it was recently full of life. Dead trees and grass cover the landscape. I'm sure that this is the right way to go. Even though I believe I'm heading the right way, I'm never perfect. I get the idea that if I go my way and AY goes her way, we'll have a higher chance of finding our target. I ask her and she instantly agrees. We descend and split apart. ---------- (Change to AY)
ABY has so many feelings, so it's hard to tell what he's thinking. I can see he's determined, but he might also be worried. What if this swarm actually kills him? What would he do if it kills me? ABY also has that berserk feeling like me, but mine is more powerful. My dark form practically doubles my fighting ability, but it's just so stressing on my soul. Hopefully we meet the swarm whenever ABY is with me. I probably can't do this alone. I wonder how he's doing right now... ---------- (ABY once again)
This swarm must be fast. I mean I'm quick on the feet myself, but I guess they're just a tad above me level. This probably isn't even the right way! Then, not even a second later, I hear a scream. Knowing that there would be nobody else here I know of, I thought of the first person... AY. Why would she scream is something I don't know or have seen. Whatever the case, I expect it to be trouble. I know she couldn't be too far, but still at a distance. I take off in a flash over the flat land, making it easier to run. So I'm running, and running... running... still running... and still going... I'm just like the Energizer battery. It just keeps going and going... Anyway, my focus turns to rage as I see the so-called "swarm" and AY in the distance. Although doing her best, she's having of little luck holding them off. I jump into the battle instantly.
I expected the swarm to be of like bees, but they're... overgrown grasshoppers with giant teeth and large wings. Being carnivores, the grasshoppers try to bite from every corner, putting me on the defensive. AY manages to hit a lot of them with a spinning attack and escapes to my aid.
"I was sure you heard my scream. Thankfully you did."
"Well, let's just get these guys off of us."
The grasshoppers, with their massive population, are like a bite too big. I don't even know if I'll survive this.
