With the Atomo Army out of the way, I think it's time to find that giant swarm that threatens our world. This time, however, all of us are here instead of AY and me. This will increase our chances of survival and victory. There is one thing for sure this time. This battle will be our fight to the death, cutting the swarm down until it's a slight insect problem or if we survive, just finish it off. I turn around to see AY and everyone looking at me as they slowly nod their heads. It's time for the exterminator to make a house call...
Our mission is simple; find and obliterate the swarm. Not far away I see a large flowing spring with a waterfall, probably made when the land managed to capture water from the nearby river. Feeling the intense heat in the air, despite it's almost time for the sun to be setting, I know this may be our only time for us to all be together for quality time as friends before fighting our last war. Whenever everyone else sees the spring, they all jump in. I sit down beside the water as I see AY encouraging me to jump in by splashing me with water. Being urged a little too much, I decide to hop in. For the first time ever for me, it's playtime, which is out of my personality, but it's so rewarding to have a cooldown of the body.
I really think AY has a pure playful nature. The ability to fly must give a new meaning of fun to the one's that can't. She's one of the lucky yoshies and I'm not, but she deserves it. Her heart is big and she cares for us all. The one thing that confuses me though is why her name is Angel Yoshi. She's not much of an angel because she can fire purple lightning bolts. That's not very angelic! Although that mystery will not be solved for some time, it's not a bad thing to wonder about.
My daydreaming is interrupted by a big blast of water. I look at TY while she's looking at me.
"Are you just gonna sit there or are you going to have some fun?"
That sparked my body to be active as I jumped in and dove down, planted my feet, and sprung up to the surface, out of the water, and up high enough to grab TY and wrestle her down in a non-violent way. When I resurface, I see VY sitting by water and being depressed. I get out and go over to him.
"Are you alright VY?"
"Well, I'm a yoshi of lava and this is water. Those two things don't mix."
"Can't you just not coat yourself in lava?"
"It's the magma under my skin. It'll harden and ruin me."
"Are you sure about that?"
"A long time ago, when I was young, the water facinated me to interact with it. However, when I jumped in, I felt my body harden minutes later. It was to a point that I couldn't swim. If it wasn't for TY then, I wouldn't be here now. When she saw me, her experience with the water was high enough that she could move the water and she blasted me onto the shore. I felt my body return to normal in a few minutes, but it's still a terrifying thought."
"So you fear the water?"
"Yes, I do"
"I understand... you need anything?"
"I'm fine for now. However, do you think you could get EY over here?"
"No problem. I'll be right back."
I hop back up and jump right over EY's head in the water.
"Hey EY, VY wants you."
"Ok. I don't think this water is very good for me anyway."
Now since that's down, I dive back under and plant my feet in order to take down AY, who is going against TY in a water fight. Before I jump, I see a cavern out of the corner of my eye. Still, I jump out and with me on target, I manage to get AY as we corkscrew down into the water. Being at the bottom, I point to the cavern as she decides to go with into it. We're taking our risks down through here just for adventure. We may be almost invincible to attack but we can still drown. However, since our skin helps to absorb oxygen, we can stay down for multiples of minutes. The cavern hole is real thin, but wide enough for AY and I to squeeze through.
Between the both of us, I think AY is the better swimmer. With her wings she can set her depth and her very long tail enables her to swim at a faster rate. Although my tail is long, it's just not as long. Not only does she have the element of the sky, she has the power over water as well. However, the land is my domain of dominance.
As we near the end of the thin cavern walls, I feel as though I am running out of air. Luckily, the walls expand and another surfacing area appears. AY heads straight up to it as I grab her hand to take me up as well. We hit the surface and look around. I'm amazed at what I see. ----------------------- (Change to TY)
I saw ABY take AY under, but where are they? Hopefully they're just taking a pleasant swim through the area. For safe measures, I dive under and swiftly swim through the area. The good thing about controlling water is that I have plenty of air due to my concentration on oxygen-absorbing skin. I could stay under for an hour if conditions were perfect. However, I surface and see if they would have returned back up, but I see no sight of them. I jump back out and fly around the area to find them, but still, I see nothing. I fly up to SY, who is just staring out into oblivion. I look where he's looking to see what I didn't want to see; the swarm.
"SY, are you ready?"
"We have no option. We can't run because if they ravage anymore of the world, it's like saying game over. We'll have to stand up to the masses of grasshoppers with ABY and AY."
The five of us prepare for the biggest fight ever.
