Yoshi was still following the white speck of light, not allowing it to disappear from his sight. Yoshi then wondered if he could eat up the white speck of light, and thus, with the grip of his long, red tongue, he swallowed the white speck of light into his mouth, swallowing it down. Yoshi then stopped fluttering, and he was shocked that he was not falling down, even though there was no floor visible. Yoshi scratched his head in confusion and folded his arms, thinking whether or not it was a good idea. It was not too long until a cackle was heard, and it was followed shortly by a strange, deep masculine voice...
Strange reptilian... you dare disturb the ghostly presence of my haunted tower? Come up here and come face to face with me, boy... I'll give you one hell of a fight...
Yoshi was caught by surprise, and he looked around, curious where the voice came from. It was then that seven skeletal enemies that weren't related to Koopas spawned, all of them wielding bones. Though they were easily recognized as brown-colored reptilians, they wore skulls that seemingly belonged to a different species. Wondering what the seven reptilian-like creatures were, Yoshi pulled out his small, handy dandy guidebook from his small, red-colored pad, flipping through the pages until he stopped and spotted a page that had a picture and info on the strange creatures.
"Cubone. They tend to be very lonesome and easily depressed reptilian creatures," Yoshi read as he then turned into his green-spotted egg shield to protect himself from the incoming Cubones, "They bare the skulls of their dead mothers, who they never see and cause them great grief, enough to make them cry. However, if they become enraged, they will attack with no mercy."
Just as he finished up reading the passage, the seven Cubones all shouted a war cry and started to smack the egg shield repeatedly with their bone clubs, hoping to crack the egg. Yoshi closed his eye and froze in motion as he hoped that the Cubones would tire of whacking the egg shield. Come seventeen minutes and eighty three seconds later, the Cubones are still attacking the egg shell, which now has a dark red color instead of white, meaning that it has since become weaker. Yoshi moans as he knows that he'll have to face the Cubones, and he then breaks out, fluttering upwards to escape from being trapped in, and then using a ground pound, shaking the entire area as the Cubones fell on their backs. Spotting the closet Cubone, Yoshi used his long, red tongue to grab it, and then swung it into the other Cubones, causing all of them to plop among each other.
Yoshi grinned with confidence, and he started to walk away, when he heard the Cubones all shouting angrily at Yoshi, each of them getting up to their feet and wielding their bone clubs with pride. Yoshi paused, and he then wondered, rubbing his chin, turning around to face the seven Cubones.
"Hmm...I don't know what to do, but maybe if I fight against all seven of these guys..." Yoshi then shrugged and let out a sigh. "It's worth a try." Not holding back, Yoshi got into a fighting stance, calling the Cubones on as the seven Cubones each shouted a war cry and rushed towards Yoshi, preparing to beat down the green-colored Yoshisaurus with their bone clubs.
