Chapter 3: Running

Tanookie Park

"Yoshi get to the car, go!" said Archangel who started to run along with Yoshi.

It wasn't until Yoshi tripped on a rock and fell on the ground, this caused Archangel to stop running and help his friend.

"Yoshi you okay?" asked Archangel, kneeling down on one knee."*grunts* No... I think my ankle is broken."said Yoshi, sitting up.

Archangel then looks at Yoshi's leg and sees a bump on the side."You did, *Gets up and lends his hand to Yoshi.*come on I'll carry you."said Archangel.

Yoshi then grabs the red yoshi plush on the ground and takes Archangels hand, and puts his arm around his shoulder.

Archangel and Yoshi then continue moving till they got to the exit of the park.

Once they exit the park they see people running out of the carnival and getting into their cars or panicking in the streets.

They then get to the parking lot trying to find their car, once they found it Archangel walks to the passenger side; opens the door, and puts Yoshi in the passenger seat.

Archangel closes the door to his car and walks over to the passenger side.

"HALT!" yelled the unknown voice, Archangel stops and turns around and sees 3 Hammerbros running at him.

The Hammerbros stop a few feet away from Archangel, preparing for anything that the Yoshi might throw at them.

"By the orders of King Bowser, you and your friend are to be arrested!"said one of the Hammerbros.

Archangel went wide eye to what he said.'Bowser... alive?' said Archangel in his thoughts.

Archangel just stood there still wide-eyed to what he said about Bowser being alive, still questioning how he could be alive.

One of the Hammerbros then charged at Archangel, causing Archangel to snap out of his thoughts.

Archangel dodged the charged attack and countered with a kick on the Hammerbros hip, causing him to fall down.

Archangel then backs up and breaths heavily and shots a fireball out of his mouth hitting one of the Hammerbros and knocking him unconscious.

Then the Hammerbro who charged Archangel got up, reached onto his back and throws a hammer at Archangel.

Archangel sees the hammer and launches his tongue grabbing the hammer with it, Archangel then swings his tongue and throws the hammer back at the Hammerbro hitting him in the head.

Archangel then sees the other Hammerbro sneaking up trying to get Yoshi."Oh no you don't!"said Archangel.

He then charges at the Hammerbro and sucker punches him in the face knocking him out.

Archangel just stood there breathing after defeating the three Hammerbros."You know... you guys should never fuck with a Red Yoshi."said Archangel.

Archangel then walks to his car to get to the driver seat, but Archangel is then grabbed from behind by Hammerbro.

The Hammerbro then shoves Archangel onto a car.

Archangel then tries to do another fireball attack but is stopped when the Hammerbro puts both of his hand on Archangels throat, choking him.

"You know what... screw Bowsers orders, killing you would be a pleasure... I might even get promoted."said the Hammerbro, he then tightens his hands on Archangel's throat causing to grasp for air.

Archangel was about to black out until the pressure on his neck stopped.

He then opens his to see a tongue wrapped around the Hammerbros neck.

Archangel looks behind the Hammerbro and sees Yoshi with his tongue extended.

Yoshi with all his strength drags the Hammerbro causing him to let go of Arcs neck and is then launched onto a car rendering him unconscious.

Archangel then rolls over on his hands and knees, coughs, and gasps for air.

Yoshi then retracts his tongue back into his mouth and looks at Arc."You alright?".

"Yeah... Just need some air."said Arc still recovering."Good... we're even now, by the way, you know for saving me back on Dinosaur Island."said Yoshi, smirking a little bit.

Archangel then gets up from the ground and opens the door to his car." Yeah, I guess so... now come on we got to back to the house before they get to Arielle."said Archangel getting into his sit and closing the car, with Yoshi doing the same.

Arc then starts the car and leaves the parking lot, heading to the house.

The House

Archangel and Yoshi finally get to the house and are relieved that Bowser's army hadn't gotten hear yet.

Archangel then drives into the driveway, parks the car, takes the keys out of the ignition, then exits the car and runs over to the other side to help Yoshi.

Archangel then grabs Yoshi and put his arm around his shoulder and carries him to the front door.

Then Arc opens the door to the house and walks into the living, only to be surprised by a pink sword a few inches to his head."Hey, it's us it's us!" yelled Archangel.

Arielle then realizes who was in front of her and then lowers her guard down."*sighs* Finally you guys made it, I feared the worst when I heard the sirens go off and after that explosion are heard outside."said Arielle.

"Which brings me to this to question... what the hell is going on?!"said Arielle." I'll tell you, but we need to get Yoshi patched up his ankle is broken."said Archangel, laying Yoshi down on the sofa.

"Well it's a good thing I know how to do some healing spells,"said Arielle, walking up to the sofa and getting on her knees, she then raises her hands above Yoshi's ankle and performs a healing spell on the Yoshi.

"Alright this won't take long, now can you please tell me what's going on... Arc?"said Arielle, still healing Yoshi.

Archangel was walking back and forth on the other side of the sofa thinking how it's possible for Bowser to be alive.

"ARC!"yelled Arielle, Archangel snapped back to reality and answered Arielle's question.

"*sighs* It's him..."said Archangel, Arielle gave a confused look to Archangel when he said that, not knowing who he is."Who...?"asked Arielle.

"It's Bowser... Bowser is back,"said Archangel, Arielle was shocked at what he said about Bowser being alive.

Now she would think that it was a joke about Bowser being alive and well as if it were true.

But with the sirens and the explosion she heard, this wasn't a laughing matter.

"What... are you sure?"asked Arielle."He's not wrong, when we got to the car, three Hammerbros came out of nowhere, once they got near us one of them said that they were ordered to capture us by King Bowser."said Yoshi, still lying down on the sofa.

"Okay, but what of the explosion?"said Arielle, Archangel then looked at Yoshi and same with Yoshi looking back at Arc.

"*Sighs* The explosion... came from the castle... it was the first place they attacked when they got in the kingdom,"said Archangel.

Arielle stopped doing her magic, she was about to cry after what Archangel said."No... please tell me... are they?"said Arielle, starting to cry."Hey we don't know for sure alright... for all we know they might be fighting back against Bowser and his goons."said Archangel, putting his hand on Arielle's shoulder comforting her.

Arielle then puts her hands back on Yoshi's ankle and fully heals it."Alright it's done, but I suggest you stay laying down; you don't want to break it again while it's still in the process of healing."said Arielle.

Arielle gets up from the ground and proceeds on sitting down on a chair."Don't get too comfortable were gonna have to leave here soon."said Archangel."What... why?"said Arielle, leaning over to the side of the chair and looking at Archangel."Yeah, I'm a bit confused as well."said Yoshi raising his head up.

"Because they're coming here, they might know where we live and come straight here... so we need to leave,"said Archangel.

"But Arc we can't just leave... what if Mario, Luigi, and Peach come here and were not here,"said Arielle

"Trust me, they won't come here."said Archangel."And why is that?"said Arielle.

"It's because of the secret bunker that's in the castle."said Yoshi, looking at Arielle."A bunker?"said Arielle, who was confused.

"The bunker was built when the castle was in construction, the bunker was meant to keep those safe in case if the castle was ever attacked, but only a select few knew about; like me and Arc,"said Yoshi.

"So they'll be there."said Arielle."Yep, and we better hurry." said Archangel, walking over to Yoshi, handing him his hand.

Yoshi takes his hand and lifts his self from the sofa, and places his arm on Arcs shoulder.

Arielle then gets up from the chair and follows Arc and Yoshi to the front door.

Once they left the house, Archangel, then continues moving forward and heads to Arielle's car.

"We're taking your car."said Archangel."Why mine?"asked Arielle."Cause they probably idea mine."said Archangel

Then the Yoshis got in the back of the car, with Arielle going in the front seat and starting the car.

Yoshi then lies down on his back and rest his head on Archangels lap. They then look at each other and then look away from each other, blushing.

Arielle looks in the rear mirror and looks at the Yoshi's.'Arc sure is smart about not getting noticed, but is dumb at not noticing it.'said Arielle in her thoughts.

She then drives out of the driveway and proceeded on heading towards the castle town.
