Chapter 7: Eaten Alive!

The heroes reached the Yoshi Mountain through a Warp Pipe, since they got the information from Kamek when he took the Yoshi Cookies from a hut. They eventually encounter Kamek on his broom shortly after.

Seeing them, Kamek tried to move to the left, but the Mario Bros blocked his way, and kept moving along with Kamek to prevent him from escaping. Kamek soon gives up and scolds:

"Boy, you doofuses just get on a Koopa's tail and STAY there, don'tcha?"

"Said the overgrown flying turtle who's annoying as hell." Sonic teased.

"Hey! That was a NICE one!" Young Sonic complemented while high-fiving his adult self.

"Grr…" Kamek growled quietly. "Well, try this on for size…"

He flies to different portions of the area and casts flames on them. After that, he goes back to the group and mocked:

"Zip! Zap! Zow! Unless those garments are fireproof, you're gonna barbecue, you weenies! Give up now! You really think you're tough? Then make it to the cliff top, losers! I'd LOVE to see it!" he then leaves.

"Yep, I was right all along; that guy is so annoying!" Sonic growled.

"For some reason, I'm kinda feeling thirsty right now…" Baby Mario said. He notices a fountain spraying water nearby. "Oh! Water!"

He climbs down his adult self's back and goes to the fountain to have a sip. But then, he ended up becoming tubbified like how Mario became once at the previous adventure.

"Hmm, that gave me an idea!" Baby Luigi exclaimed and climbed down his adult self's back and walked to his pumped brother. "Big bro! Head towards that flame! I know what to do!"

Despite not being able to talk, Pump Baby Mario gave a nod and stood a few feet away from the flame. Then, Baby Luigi took out his hammer and hit Pump Baby Mario, causing him to spit out some of the water and once it hit the flame, it doused out, allowing further progress.

"That's it! We could use Baby Mario's pump ability to douse out the flames!" Tails confirmed. "Let's douse the rest!"

They moved on, dousing all of the flames with Pump Baby Mario. Just by doing that was enough for them to reach the top of the cliff, after walking a lot, where they saw Baby Bowser eating the pile of Yoshi Cookies with Kamek watching him. To not get spotted, the group decided to hide behind a platform's ledge and peek out.

"HURK! HACK!" Baby Bowser choked and coughed.

"Prince Bowser, LITTLE bites!" Kamek warned as he walks to him. "Oh, here, have some milk. It's, uh, from an evil cow."

Kamek hands Baby Bowser a cup of warm milk and he drinks it.

"AHHHH! Nothing quite like good cookies and evil milk!" Baby Bowser said. "Get it? Cookies and Milk?"

"How original…" Sonic thought while rolling his eyes. Baby Bowser continues:

"I was a little creeped out at first, hanging out in this ghost town, but… Then I realized there was no one to stop me from eating every cookie in sight! Yesss!"

"Yeah… It's been…great." Kamek replied, trying to hide the fact that the heroes tried to stop him from Baby Bowser.

"Trying to fake out? Too bad! We're already here!" Baby Mario came out of his hiding spot.

"Ack! Baby alert!" Kamek shouted. Then, the rest of the heroes came out from hiding.

"Grrrr! What are you chumps doing here?" Baby Bowser growled.

"We're here for the cookies AND the Cobalt Shard pieces that you hold!" Young Sonic hissed.

"Bwah ha ha!" Baby Bowser laughed as he walks to the group. Unknown to everyone, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi snuck by and started to eat the cookies rapidly at the pile. "You've gotta be kidding! You stole the treasure in the FIRST place! So YOU'RE the bad guys! Duh! So all this stuff stays MINE!"

"Not only you're acting as a spoiled child, but you're also acting very greedy, you know that?" Veronica said in a cold tone while folding her arms. "Children should have love and respect, making them have pure and good souls. I, as with many other fairies, respect only those kind of children. And you're out of our list."

"I don't care about that! And you are NOT getting these things!" Baby Bowser shouted angrily. "I'll have THIS!" he showed the two Cobalt Shards. "…AND THOSE!" he turned to the cookie pile…only to find out that ALL of the cookies were gone, eaten by the baby brothers.

"Mmm… They were delicious!" Baby Mario licked his lips.

"Ahhh… That hit the spot…" Baby Luigi sighed in satisfaction while rubbing his cookie-filled belly.

"OH NO!" Baby Bowser shouted in frustration. "STINKY BABIES!"

"Now, now, boys, that's not done." Veronica flew to Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, speaking like a responsible mother, making the toddler brothers look crestfallen with guilty expressions. "I know you did that because Baby Bowser stole them, but those cookies belonged to the Yoshis, you know."

"Sorry…" both baby brothers apologized.

"Good."

"Golly... Veronica really acted as a mother to us!" Baby Luigi said in a surprised tone to his brother.

"Boy… Never knew she would do that..." Baby Mario replied.

"Prince Bowser! Take it easy!" Kamek went to Baby Bowser, trying to calm him down as he drags him away slowly.

"Hrmph… Cookies…" Baby Bowser growled quietly.

"Leave this rabble to me. You just go walk it off, Your Hungriness!"

"Grrrr!" Baby Bowser becomes so mad that he stomps the ground. "You punks got LUCKY, hear me? Stealing food? Who DOES that?! You'll PAY for those cookies!" he soon calms down and tells Kamek: "Oh, all right, fine! FINE! Kamek… I'm counting on you to finish these snackaholics!" he runs off.

"Whew…" Kamek sighed in relief before summoning his broom and leaps on it. "You guys are really starting to chap my shell. I'm gonna yank out all those mustache and fur hairs…AFTER I beat those cookies out of you!"

Kamek pulled out his wand and creates spiked balls above the heroes and sent them falling down. Luckily, the baby brothers knocked them back at Kamek with their hammers, while the Sonics and Tailses avoided them. Veronica used her powers to slow down her spiked ball's falling before she avoided it.

Suddenly, Kamek used his magic to split into five!

"GYAH! YAH! GWAH! Oooh, which one's the REAL me?" the real Kamek taunted.

"Spoke too soon!" Sonic taunted back as he and his younger self attacked the real Kamek by Home Attacking and Spin Jumping respectively.

"AAACK!" Kamek screamed as he fell to the ground.

Taking this advantage, Tails decided to hand something to his younger self: "Here." He hands the young fox a smaller version of his arm cannon.

"Wow! An arm cannon? For me?!" Young Tails exclaimed.

"Yep! I had time to make one for you while we were dousing the fire through the mountain." Tails smiled. "I've already tested it too, so don't worry." He then equips his own arm cannon. "Ready to blast it?"

Young Tails nodded and both foxes shot a plasma blast at the downed Kamek before he finally manages to get back on his feet.

"Yay! This is cool!" Young Tails chirped.

"EAT FIRE!" Kamek yelled as he casts flames at them, but Veronica stopped them in place with her magic. "What?! NO!" Kamek didn't believe that.

"Ain't nobody got TIME for that!" Sonic joked, which made the group laugh.

"GRRR! This is NOT FUNNY!" Kamek growled.

"Use this to finish him, Mario Brothers!" Veronica summons a cannon and placed it next to Baby Mario.

"Nice! Cannonballer!" Baby Mario exclaimed.

Luigi, Mario, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi jumped inside the cannon in this exact order and were launched in the air, following their trajectory to Kamek. This Bros Attack concludes with the four stomping Kamek, one after another, defeating him.

"Yeah! That'll teach you to not mess with us!" Young Sonic smirked.

"Yoooorgh…" Kamek groaned in defeat, now lying on the ground, motionless.

"Well, then…" Tails sweatdropped. "Didn't expect that."

"At least he's out of the way. Now let's track down Baby Bowser." Mario told them before venturing on.

With Baby Bowser, he had just skid to a halt when he faced a dead end at his front.

"Grrrr! Unbelievable! A stupid dead end!" Baby Bowser shouted in frustration.

"End of the line, Bowser!" Mario's voice came from behind him. He turned around to see the heroes glaring at him.

"You again! You just don't give up, do you?!" Baby Bowser hissed, but then smirked at the last sentence as he pulls out the Cobalt Shards. "Eat my cookies, will you? Fine! I'll eat the treasure instead!"

To their shock, Baby Bowser ate the two Cobalt Shards right in front of their eyes!

"WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?!" Sonic shouted in shock.

"Urr…" Baby Bowser grumbled as he held his belly, until he cracked an evil smile. "Wow! Yum! Those shards were DEE-licious!"

"You… You're gonna pay SO HARD for THAT!" Sonic yelled.

"Yeah! Let's hold him, me!" Young Sonic said.

Both Sonics walked towards Baby Bowser and held him by his sides.

"Hey! What're you… LEGGO!" Baby Bowser demanded while struggling from the Sonics' grasp.

"TAKE THIS!" Baby Mario jumped on Baby Bowser a couple of times with all his strength to try to force the shards out of him. "Come on! Spit them out NOW!"

"OOF! YURK! BLURP!" Baby Bowser groaned from Baby Mario's stomps.

"Do it, Big Bro! Harder!" Baby Luigi cheered from the sidelines.

"Wait… Do you guys hear that?" Veronica heard a familiar noise.

They stopped what they were doing and looked behind them, seeing some Shroob Saucers flying by. Two of those Saucers came back and looked at the group before leaving.

"…What are these Saucers doing here?" Luigi questioned.

Just then, another type of noise was heard.

"And what was that other noise?" Tails added.

If we get a full view of the mountain, we can see that Yoob was trying to climb up, but accidentally slid down, causing that other noise heard by the heroes. Three Shroob Saucers came back and one of them shot a laser at Yoob, causing him to grow in size, and was now staring at the group!

"Is…that who I think it is…?" Young Tails gulped.

"Uh oh…" Baby Luigi murmured.

"%$&#####!" Yoob roared loudly, flinching the group, including Baby Bowser.

"RUN FOR IT!" Mario shouted in panic as everyone dashed off.

However, their progress was stopped when they were startled by Yoob's tongue, trying to eat them. Luckily, the tongue barely missed them.

"That was one heck of a close call!" Sonic's eyes widened.

"%$&#####!" Yoob roared again and latched his tongue to try to eat the young heroes.

"LOOK OUT!" Veronica got in front of the youngsters, but unfortunately ended up getting caught by the tongue. "AAAAHH!" she was eaten.

"VERONICA!" the four young heroes cried out, while the adult ones gasped in shock.

Soon, Baby Bowser arrived…at the worst time, because he was the next victim to get caught by the tongue. "OH NO!" he gets eaten.

"This is not good!" Luigi panicked, only to be grabbed by Yoob's tongue next. "GAAAH!" he screamed as he was eaten, followed by Baby Luigi, Young Tails, Young Sonic, Baby Mario, Tails, Sonic and Mario.

"%$&#####!" Yoob roared once again.

What just happened to our heroes…?
