Chapter 4: Two Yoshis Meet
-Author's note: Yoshi, Mario and the Smash Borthers belong to Nintendo. Note 2: a few refs to the Mario Cartoon and the Game, Paper Mario: TTYD-
Yoshi sat down on a bench in the centre of the park, still thinking sadly about the Dino Riders incident in the past, before letting out a small sigh. 'After all these years, I still feel awful about joining that gang and helping them, even after I realized my mistake and fixed it while making up with Mario, Luigi and Peach' Yoshi thought sadly to himself, unable to forgive himself for what he did. The Dino/Dragon then thought about Rex's threat, which only served to make the 15 year old feel down even more, but not for long...
"Hey! Get back here you thief!" someone shouted very loudly, causing Yoshi to snap out of his thoughts and look around wildly for the voice's owner. He didn't have to look for long as two objects, one blue and the other green, collided into him, causing all three of them to roll into a nearby tree with a loud CRASH! Luckily for Yoshi, clashing into walls and other objects during a match was a very common thing for the Smashers, so he quickly gathered his senses and looked at what(or who in this case) collided with him.
To his left was a light blue bandit, which are pretty much known everywhere for stealing all sorts of things like coins, candy and other things. Looking to his right, Yoshi was surprised to see another one of his own kind, a Yos'ter (or better known as yoshis, much like the name the young Smasher). This yoshi was about half the size of Yoshi, around the age of 4 or 5, but had a pretty good build for his age. He wore a pair of red boots but no saddle, white shorts with red spots of different sizes (not all yoshis wear shorts or saddles), and had a plain brown travel cloak around his neck. He also had a tuff of red hair on top his head, which was uncommon for most yoshis to have.
"Ouch..." groaned the small dinosaur, starting to recover his senses like Yoshi, who went over to check if he was alright. "Hey, are you alright?" Yoshi asked, worried for the child's well-being as he helped the dino stand up. "Yeah, thanks a...huh?" the small yoshi said before seeing the bigger yoshi helping him up, "Hey, you're the yoshi that's a part of the Smash Bros, aren't you?" he asked. Yoshi nodded before reaching into his saddle, pulling out a small glowing red orb that had two lines that crossed each other at the bottom-left side of it. This was a Smash Orb, an item that is only held by the Smash Bros. Yoshi put the orb away again after showing it to the boy. "Just call me Yoshi, what's your name?" he asked. The smaller dino grinned before answering; "The names Sid, better known as the Great Gonzales Jr.!"
Before anything else could be said, they heard a low groan and turn to see that the bandit was regaining conciseness. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot about him" Sid said before walking over to the bandit and picking up a small red backpack that was lying next to him. "I take it that he stole it from you, right?" Yoshi asked, walking to the other side of the bandit. Sid nodded, checking his backpack to see if everything that was inside was there, before closing it tightly again with a look of relieve, seing everything was still there. The bandit opened his eyes and looked up into the two yoshis' faces, he then realizes that the jig was up, and so there was only one thing to do...
The bandit made a beeline for the nearby park gate and dashed through it, only to collide with an already fuming Fox McCloud, the two clashing onto the ground. Fox was now as mad as a bull seeing the colour red; "Grr! That does it! Take this!" he shouted, and before the bandit could react, Fox landed a fully charge upper smash, sending Sid's would be thief flying miles out of Smashville. Mario and Ike attempted to calm the enraged Fox down, not noticing the two yoshis coming through the same park gate the bandit had used, who were surprised to see the three Smashers here. "Guys, what's going on here?" Yoshi asked loudly, trying to get their attention. Mario heard Yoshi's voice and turn towards him. "Yoshi, when did you..." Mario started, but stopped when he saw who was next to Yoshi. "Hi Mario, it's been awhile!" Sid said cheerfully to the plumber, causing Yoshi to look back and forth between the two quickly before both he and Mario said to each other at the same; "You know Sid?!" Fox and Ike, who had stopped to look when Mario called out Yoshi's name, were both thinking; 'Did we just miss something here?'
Explanations soon followed. Mario told everyone about that he had met Sid during one of his adventures, including the part about the ring name Mario had used at an arena; The Great Gonzales. "So that's why you called yourself the Great Gonzales Jr. You went back to the arena after Mario left Rougeport, right?" Yoshi asked Sid, impressed with the small yoshi's achievements. Sid grinned back, having sensed that Yoshi was impressed with him. "Yeah, I gotten a lot stronger and learned a few new tricks over the last few years. Although..." Sid suddenly stopped saying before looking down sadly. The group were now worried, what would make Sid sad all of a sudden? "Sid, what's wrong?" Yoshi asked worriedly. Sid closed his eyes for a bit, before opening them again and said; "It's my parents, I never met them at all. I don't even know if they're alive or not, so I wonder if they would be proud of me for everything that I done so far..." Everyone was shocked by this, except for Mario (who already knew about that), and Yoshi, who was completely speechless. "Sid..." Yoshi finally started saying, getting Sid's attention, "You're not the only one who don't know about their parents...I don't know mine either" Now it was Sid's turn to be speechless.
Meanwhile, about 20 Miles west of Smashville, the bandit that Fox smashed away in anger had landed with a big crash in the middle of the road. Amazingly, the bandit was able to stand, although he was swaying to the sides of the road uncontrollably. He was also unaware that a group of three were also on the road, heading towards Smashville with one goal in mind...Revenge.
