Peppy Ankylosaurus let out a sigh of exhaustion as he given up on trying to break the cage that he was kept trapped inside. The two Koopa guards from earlier have switched positions with two stranger looking reptilians, which were colored green, had strange black pads on their back, and had orange, beak-like mouths.
"Yoshi..." Peppy muttered quietly to himself as he sniffled, wiping a tear from his left eye, "I pray that you're doing well, and I hope that you do your best to come and rescue me..."
The two strange reptilians exchanged glances with each other as they managed to hear Peppy, though they shrugged it off as they continued to guard the encased yellow Ankylosaurus, who seemed ready to give up on being rescued.
Yoshi continued chasing after the rare blue crab, which have seemed to bend around the strange, grayish pillars that were structured. Yoshi then stopped and realized that his new power was fading, and as such, he returned to green from his bubbly blue color skin. Shrugging, Yoshi watched as the crab scuttled around the five pillars, switching as fast as he could. Yoshi watched carefully, and when he took a guess, he ran around the third pillar. No luck, for the crab was hiding behind the fourth pillar, and it then scuttled off to the next five pillars. Yoshi followed the crab as he once again watched the blue crustacean scuttle between the pillars again.
This time, remembering the previous set of pillars, Yoshi closed his eyes and ran towards the second pillar. Frowning again, he turned to the right to see that the crab was clearly hiding behind the fifth pillar, and it once again scuttled towards the last set of pillars, this time six. As Yoshi ran after the scuttling crab, Yoshi's thoughts came to him, stating,
The crab is trying to trick you... do not fall for its exchanging tricks. Use your tongue around all the pillars, and you will find the answer...
Yoshi tried keeping it in mind as he watched the crab scuttle between the six pillars even faster than previously. Yoshi appeared to have been dazed as he sat down, feeling dizzy as the crab went faster and faster with each switch, doing its best to confuse the dinosaur. Shaking his head and gaining back his senses, Yoshi began to think, when his thought came back.
Use the tongue... the tongue...
Yoshi wondered bout it, but he then gasped, snapping his fingers. Realizing what his thoughts meant, Yoshi used his long, red tongue to swing around all of the six pillars, knocking the crab with it. Pulling back in his tongue, Yoshi cheered as he ran up to the knocked out crab and picked it up, grinning with glee. The crab then woke up and jumped off of Yoshi's palms, scuttling up a small hill as it pointed at Yoshi, chuckling with pleasure. Yoshi tilted his head to the right, confused as he scratched his right side. It would be very soon that Yoshi would understand why.
"Ohohohohohohoho... Good job, Crusty, very good job. You've done such an excellent job." Complimented a strange, familiar voice.
Yoshi looked up, gasping as he saw the figure appear next to the rare blue crab. He clearly knew who it was that had the voice. "Harryhausen!"
The familiar purple, glasses-wearing Yoshisaurus chuckled, waving his hand as he stated, "No, that's Dr. Hoshi to you, Yoshi. Heh heh heh..."
