Star #1 Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy
Wildlife Valley was your typical first level. A simple layout with plants, animals, swamps, and beautiful orange flowers. Rocky pillars, fuzzies, and a massive tree were also there to decorate the landscape. Yoshi arrived in a corner of the area and began his search for stars.
Yoshi: Hmm… this place looks even smaller than Bob Omb Battlefield. This'll be easy!
Yoshi climbed up some hills and already saw those dreaded fuzzies that messed with his head before. They were floating all over the place. Anyone who dared to touch them would get sick, and their own reality would get distorted as if they absorbed LSD.
Yoshi: *gulp* Nevermind! This will not be easy! Just stay calm Yoshi. If you do hit one, remind yourself that it's not real.
He saw the star in sight at the end of a series of rocky pillars connected by bridges. It would be a piece of cake if it weren't for the fact that the area was inhabited by fuzzies! It didn't help that there was a sign nearby saying "Beware! Strong winds ahead!"
Yoshi: Come on! This is the first star! Why does it look so difficult!? Ugh! Man up Yoshi! This is for your friends!
Yoshi ran against the flow of the wind to get to the star. But halfway there, a fuzzy blew right into Yoshi's face.
Yoshi: NO! Not again!
Yoshi's vision turned into distorted colors. Parts of the walls and floor looked like they were breaking apart.
Yoshi: NO! NO! NO! It's not real! It's NOT real!
Then Yoshi noticed the ground breaking apart below his feet.
Yoshi: IT'S NOT REAL! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
In actuality, everything was completely normal and Yoshi looked like some lunatic screaming for no reason.
When Yoshi opened his eyes again, everything was back to normal and he sighed in relief. The green dino claimed his first star.
Star #2 Go Up the Giant Tree
For the next star, Yoshi had to scale a huge tree. Luckily, the entrance wasn't far from where he got the first star, so he entered right in.
The inside of the tree was all dirt at the bottom. Yoshi coughed out some of the dust at the bottom and started trekking his way up. Giant fungi was growing in the tree, and Yoshi used those as platforms to get up to the star. His flutter jump made it all the more easy.
Meanwhile in an unknown location…
Mario woke up after that horrifying experience last night.
Mario: Ugh… what happened? What was that… thing?
Then the plumber came to his senses to see himself surrounded by a red glowing barrier. Luigi, Wario, Toad, and Waluigi were also surrounded by barriers.
Mario: Guys! What's going on?
Luigi: We don't know, bro! Some freaky pair of hands kidnapped us all and trapped us here.
Toad: Whoever it was, I don't think it's Bowser we're dealing with this time.
Wario: Where are we anyways, this place looks totally dull and barebones.
Waluigi: I didn't join your treasure hunting mission to be taken to a place like this! No one can keep Waluigi contained!
Waluigi tried hitting his tennis racket through the barrier, only to receive an electric shock.
?: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You fool! You cannot escape your inevitable fate!
The team was creeped out and tried looking for the source of the voice. But couldn't see this mysterious person anywhere.
Toad: W-w-who said that!?
?: Welcome to the moon, pathetic heroes. AKA, your funeral!
Luigi: The MOON!?
Mario: Who's there!? Show yourself!
?: My name is not important right now. What is important is that I'm the guy who's gonna end this world. Once this moon crashes into your planet, all life as you know it will suffer and die! And you'll be there to witness it before your deaths as well.
All of our captured heroes gasped in horror.
Wario: ALL LIFE!?
Waluigi: NO! Waluigi's got a life to live!
Toad: You monster!
Luigi: But why!?
?: Because I enjoy watching the suffering of others. It's what I LIVE for!
Mario: You won't get away with this!
?: I already have! Because no one can stop me now! Not even you! Enjoy your last few hours of life before this world reaches its last impact. Until then, I think I'll kidnap your kingdom's princess next!
Mario: NO!
?: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The mysterious voice faded.
Toad: What are we gonna do!?
Mario thought about it for a second and looked around. He noticed someone missing.
Mario: Yoshi's not here! He can save us again like he did last time.
Luigi: Aw yeah! Go Yoshi!
Wario: How can we be sure he can do it, though? We know nothing about this new guy, and he could be more dangerous than Bowser.
Toad: All we can do is hope.
Waluigi: Normally I wouldn't care, but… if it's for the sake of my future pinball machine, I'm in.
Everyone looked at Waluigi, unamused.
Waluigi: Okay, I guess the world is important too.
Mario: Best of luck, Yoshi. Please stay safe.
Yes, Waluigi is still building his giant pinball machine at this time. Who is this mysterious new villain threatening to destroy the world?
See you next chapter!
