Yoshizilla: Well, here's the chapter you've been waiting for - the chapter in which Yoshi leaves the Ankylosaurus Village and treks through the Ankylosaurus Desert one more time, this time to the dark and damp Triceratops Cove, where he will continue his perilous adventure to rescue his best friend Peppy Ankylosaurus from the evil forces of King Morton Senior Koopa. I hope that you all enjoy this short, but interesting and adventure-filled, chapter!


It was morning in the small, isolated Ankylosaurus Village. Yoshi had a hearty breakfast at Geppy's Inn, and chatted with Geppy and the friendly Ankylosaurus folks while eating. Later, as he started to head out into the northern direction, he waved goodbye to Geppy, Dr. Hoshi, and all of the Ankylosaurus villagers as the heroic green Yoshisaurus marched northward into the treacherous Ankylosaurus Desert.

Yoshi walked slowly as he was determined to make it to the Triceratops Cove. He felt the sand hitting his face as the wind blew mighty. The footprints he left behind quickly were covered with sand thrown into the air, and as Yoshi took a quick glance back every few minutes, the Ankylosaurus Village became more transparent to see, until when Yoshi checked and turned around for the seventh time, the Ankylosaurus Village has disappeared from visibility.

Yoshi became cautious. Turning back and facing the northern direction, Yoshi marched on. He felt his feet starting to sink into the sand, and he stopped, pulling his right leg out and thrusting his left leg out. As he continued, the wind blew hard, forcing Yoshi to stop and push back against the wind. Yoshi closed his eyes, and stood completely still. As the wind started to blow more calmer, Yoshi pressed on again, but he then fell face-first into the sand as a gray claw pulled him by the feet.

The gray claw hid back into the sand, and then a small, reddish crab with gray, seven-inch claws popped out of the sand, startling Yoshi. As the green Yoshisaurus jumped up back on his feet, the crab lunged at Yoshi, piercing him by the leg. Yoshi yelped and grabbed the crab with his hands, yanking it off of his leg. He turned to the eastern direction and tossed the crab into the air, watching it soar in the dark, yellowish sky and fall into the sand.

Yoshi let out a sigh of relief. Wiping his forehead with his right arm, Yoshi started to run down the sandy path into the northern direction. As he ran, Yoshi noticed that the wind was getting significantly weaker, and when Yoshi appeared in front of a HUGE mountain with a gigantic, blue door that was locked, the wind was barely blowing at all.

Yoshi gasped and held his breath in shock. He realized that right in front of him was the entrance into the Triceratops Cove. Taking out the key he received from the battle with King Ankylosaurus from his small, red pad, Yoshi inserted the key into the key socket, and he stood back a few inches, watching the key turn by itself. The giant doors then opened widely, and the key fell into the sand, sinking.

Gulping, Yoshi approached the entrance cautiously. Taking one last look back at the sprawling Ankylosaurus Desert, Yoshi turned around and charged straight into the darkness, the doors closing after entering the Triceratops Cove. A loud "boom" was heard from the shutting of the door, and the wind started to blow a bit harder as the mountain became nearly invisible due to the sand being blown by the wind.
