Yoshi finally managed to reach the top of the haunted tower. He was within the last room, and he looked around, to notice that the entire room, including the hard, cold walls and the rough, wooden floor were dark blue and purple. Yoshi started to move around, looking around to find where he could make his way to the ceiling, when he suddenly heard a crash. Yoshi turned around, to see that the only window within the room was broken, with the stain glass fallen on the wooden floor broken into many tiny pieces. Yoshi ran over to the pieces of stain glass and observed them, when he was knocked backwards by a powerful whack from an airborne bone club. As Yoshi fell on his back from the collision, the lone bone club whirled back to its owner, which was a brownish colored reptilian that was remarkably similar to a Cubone, only the skull on its head was permanent, and it appeared slightly larger. Yoshi got up to his feet and looked at the strange figure, only to see and hear it cackle loudly with its deep, masculine.

"So!" The reptilian creature shouted at Yoshi, holding his bone club firmly in his right hand, "You finally made it to the top of my haunted tower. It took you long enough, boy. I have been waiting for you!"

Yoshi growled, getting into a fighting stance. "What are you talking about!?" He shouted back, demanding to know what the reptilian figure meant.

SMACK!! The reptilian figure whacked Yoshi over the face with his bone club, pinning down the green Yoshisaurus. Yoshi mumbled angrily in pain as he rubbed his right cheek, which was sore from being whacked. Yoshi then yelped as the reptilian figure grabbed him by the throat, glaring into his eyes.

"Listen here, you stupid green Yoshisaurus. I'm the owner of this haunted tower, and you're within my property! I am the leader of the Cubones, Marowak!"

Yoshi's jaw dropped in disbelief as he was dropped by Marowak, glancing at the brown-colored reptilian creature with disbelief as the Marowak continued glaring at him.

"That's right, now you know. I was the one who spoke to you before back at that endless staircase. Now that you know who I truly am, prepare to be mangled, torn, and destroyed, you disgrace to the reptilian namesake!" Marowak shouted angrily as he smashed Yoshi across the body with his bone club, and then tossed Yoshi up through the ceiling, watching Yoshi spinning around in the dark sky as he came back down towards the ground.

However, the floor restored itself, and Yoshi smashed down, shaking his head and getting up onto his feet, retaining his senses as he looked across, to see that Marowak was facing him. It then started to rain, but the two reptilian fighters did not move, for they were determined to battle to the death.
