The famous brothers continued running towards the blaze. Right when they got to the edge of the not-burning Toad Town, the two jumped and icy rays came from the palms of their hands, making them go up with a podium below them. Then, they made a short bit of wall and started skating on it while making new bits of the wall. A few minutes later, a square of ice surrounded the inferno with an entrance at one end so Yoshi & Paige could get out.

The siblings hopped off the newly-built wall.

"I hope those two get out safely." The red-capped plumber thought.

Meanwhile, Yoshi the Fire Truck and his driver, Paige, was spraying water in front of them to make a safe path to drive on. After a while of seeing burnt Toad corpses (Yoshi gave a disgusted look at these and Paige almost puked) and destroyed houses, they saw a family of 2 children and 2 parents trapped in a not-flaming circle, with the blaze trapping them.

What seemed to be the father had a fire extinguisher. He put a flame out when it came into the circle. But, sadly, by the looks of it, the extinguisher was running out of, well, whatever was inside of it.

"Alright, kiddo, drive towards those toads." The fire engine told his son.

"You betch'a, daddy." Paige listened and turned towards the folks.

He pressed a button on the side of him (Yeah, with Yoshi, you don't have to go outside to control the hose :D) and water poured out of the face of the pipe. It landed at the flames around them and the family was free. The 4 hopped on top of our adorable fire engine and Paige drove forward, of course have the water spraying in front of them.

Later, after finding five more families and toads, the two were close to the entrance Mario & Luigi had made when Yoshi saw another family on top of a half-burnt building, this time only a mother and a daughter. The girl was holding on to her mom, who looked like had slipped on the edge.

Yoshi could hear the child saying, while crying, "Mommy, I can't hold onto you any longer."

The mom said sadly, "Alright then, let me go."

"No!" The daughter said but she lost her grip. The mother started falling.

Paige stepped on the petal as hard as he could, making the toads on top hold on for their lives. And right when the mom was about to fall into the inferno, Yoshi caught her. Having fallen headfirst, she got up and saw she was on something not burning. The mom sighed with relief. Then, she looked up at her daughter and made a signal that it was okay to jump and the girl did exactly as her parent told her.

The group of yoshis and toads eventually came out of the walls only to see the frozen water was cracking. Knowing that there wasn't a lot of time left, Paige stepped on the petal as hard as he could again and the toads on board held on for their lives again.

Once they reached the castle, the Mario Brothers were waiting for them, back in their normal clothes. They helped the toads down and the surviving residents ran inside the palace to meet the other evacuated toads from the not-burned part of the village. Back outside, Paige hopped out of his father and Yoshi turned back into a dinosaur in a kind of hurtful way. The four ran inside and shut the doors just in time. The wall collapsed and turned into H2o, putting out the fire.


Meanwhile, Inside Peach's Castle


After saying the meeting was over and everyone went home, Peach had gone up to her balcony to see what the heck was with the shrieks, the princess went to her balcony again to see Toad Town was dripping wet. Raising an eyebrow, Peach went to the Mario Bros. what they had done.

She opened her door to see Mario there with his hand in the position of knocking.

"Mario, why is my beautiful town covered in water?" Peach asked impatiently to the plumber.

"Well, there was a fire. I thought that maybe the ice flowers in my pocket might help because it melts and looks like it did." Mario clarified.

Peach looked surprised. "But, who would do such a thing? Bowser wouldn't since he doesn't try and kill people."

"Well Princess, at the meeting, before we got interrupted, I was about to tell you one of those shards would come towards Toad Town."Our hero stated.

After hearing that, the ruler of the kingdom looked into her telescope to see a trail engraved into the ground that started at the burned part of the town. She followed it to see something so awesome she almost leaped with joy.
