Yoshi panted as he ran as fast as he could down the dark cavern. He wondered how long it would be before he finally received the fifth and final star, before he could confront the lord of the Triceratops Cove and progress further on his epic adventure. The green Yoshisaurus headed to the right and jumped over a couple of broken rocks, before he turned to the next corner and peeked his head, to see a family of Triceratops feeding on the soft, green grass that was growing on the damp, moldy ground. Yoshi entered cautiously, not wanting to disturb the silence of the cavern. He then tripped over a small pedal, and landed face first on the ground, getting up to see all of the Triceratops looking at him.
Yoshi shook his head, and turned around to see the Triceratops getting in a defensive position. Yoshi got up and waved his hands in the air, shaking his head. "No, no, no, no! I'm not an enemy! I'm just trying to get the fifth star!"
The Triceratops all bellowed out angrily at Yoshi, their front legs charging up as they reared their horned heads at the green Yoshisaurus.
Yoshi let out a sigh, and he turned around, leaving the defensive family of Triceratops. He noticed another creak in the hard, blue wall, and he squeezed through it, too see a wide, open plain ahead of him. Yoshi stretched his arms, and he then started running down the western direction. He then froze in his tracks as he heard snarling coming from the shadows of the coniferous trees. Suddenly, right at the moment, several raptors jumped out and started running towards Yoshi, their sharp claws ready to slash at the green Yoshisaurus.
Yoshi jumped up in the air, and looked down briefly to see the three raptors bump into each other. Yoshi then started to use his flutter kicks down on the raptors, pinning them to the ground. One of the raptors got up and slashes at Yoshi's belly, leaving a bloody scar there. Yoshi moaned in pain as he held his stomach, but he managed to shake it off and jump kick at the raptor, knocking it to the ground. Yoshi let out a sigh, and he reached his small red pad, getting out his small, red, and very handy guidebook, as well as a berry. Eating a berry and flickering through the pages, Yoshi stopped at a page to see the page with the attacking raptors on it.
"Dinoslashers," Read Yoshi as he looked curiously at the page, "Three feet tall and five feet long, these green colored, red-stripped raptors will slash their prey before eventually feasting on them. They are found all over Dinosaur Land." Yoshi cautiously looked at the unconscious Dinoslashers, and then started running down the grassy plains, leaving behind the ferocious attackers.
A few minutes later, Yoshi entered into a cavern, much to his surprise, to see that he was back inside the gigantic, damp Triceratops Cove. Yoshi quickly glanced to his left and right, and trusting his instincts, headed to the left, preparing himself for what may lie ahead in the deep, dark, and damp cavern...
