As Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi ran through the powerful desert, the two Yoshisauruses could see a village of sorts ahead. Dr. Hoshi stopped and shouted to Yoshi, "Yoshi, look ahead! I think we may be near the Ankylosaurus Village!"
Yoshi stopped and turned around to face Dr. Hoshi briefly. He then looked back forwards, and winced a bit, to see a few houses' shadows in the desert condition. He gasped, and then started running towards the village.
Dr. Hoshi followed Yoshi, and after a few minutes running through the gusty wing that blew sand in their face, the two Yoshisauruses have reached the entrance to the Ankylosaurus Village.
Dr. Hoshi patted Yoshi on the back. "Well, Yoshi, here it is. The Ankylosaurus Village. You gather some information about King Morton and his forces from some of the townspeople. I'll wait."
Yoshi nodded. "Right, doctor." He headed towards a bearded, middle-aged Ankylosaurus, who was rocking away on his rocking chair. Yoshi asked, "Excuse me, sir, but-"
"Hey, WATCH IT, you little bugger!" The Ankylosaurus snapped, hitting Yoshi on the head with his right fist, "Can't an Ankylosaurus get some peace 'round here..."
Yoshi muttered to himself, and he rubbed his sore head as he walked towards a few palm trees, one of them having two young Ankylosaurus boys chilling. Yoshi cleared his throat and asked, "Excuse me, but-"
"Hey, an outsider! Golly!" One of the Ankylosaurus boys exclaimed, nudging his friend on the shoulder, "Our ol' desert seems to be more popular than we thought!"
The other Ankylosaurus boy laughed, nodding in agreement. "Yeah. We should just rename this place as "Tourist Central!" He and his friend laughed.
Yoshi rolled his eyes, and tapped his right foot impatiently on the soft, sandy path. "Excuse me, but I have a question for you two. Have you seen King Mo-"
"King?" The two Ankylosaurus boys repeated, and then they gasped, running back to their homes, screaming.
Yoshi stood there, dumbfounded. He scratched his head in confusion. "I don't get it. Why did they run when I mentioned King-"
"Because," Said an old Ankylosaurus female who approached Yoshi, putting on her glasses to examine Yoshi, "King Ankylosaurus is feared among us little villagers, ESPECIALLY since he's teamed up with that no good cruel king, King Morton."
Yoshi turned around to face the old Ankylosaurus female. He folded his arms and asked, "Tell me, madam. What do you know about King Morton and this..."King Ankylosaurus" guy?"
The old Ankylosaurus female pointed to an inn nearby. "Here, sonny. Come to my grandson's Inn. I'll explain it to you there." She started walking to the Inn, and Dr. Hoshi approached Yoshi.
"So, what did she tell you?" The highly intelligent, purple Yoshisaurus asked Yoshi, adjusting his lightblue glasses.
Yoshi pointed at the Inn, turning to Dr. Hoshi after seeing the old Ankylosaurus female go inside. "I don't know, doc, but that elder says she knows about King Morton. I suggest we go in."
Dr. Hoshi nodded in agreement, understanding. "Indeed. Let us go in and gather more information about King Morton's actions." And thus, the two Yoshisauruses headed to the Inn.
Little did they now was that from the gusty desert winds, they were being watched...watched by spies from King Morton's armies. They muttered quietly to themselves, and then they scuttled off.
