Chapter 9: A Rose in the Vanilla Dome
(Yoshi Island)
Yoshi was walking along the grounds of his homeland while Amy was riding on his back.
Amy- Is where you live?
Yoshi- Yoshi do. This where Yoshi born and where Yoshi met Mario Brothers when Bowser kidnap friends. Yoshi owe everything to Mario's that day.
Amy- Is that why you fight by their side?
Yoshi- Little more than that. Believe it or not, Yoshi met Mario Brothers when babies. Baby Bowser try to kidnap baby Mario's, but they drop baby Mario and Yoshi find. Then Yoshi help save baby Luigi and return Mario Brothers to parents. Since then, Yoshi felt bond between Mario Brothers. That why Yoshi follow Mario Brothers.
Amy- In other words, you have a bond with them. Sort of like how I just know Sonic and I have a special bond.
Eventually, Yoshi and Amy arrived at a Yoshi village only it was being overrun by a swarm of Koopa Football Players.
Yoshi- Oh no! Other Yoshi's in trouble!
Amy jumped off of the saddle and pulled out her hammer.
Amy- Don't worry, Yoshi! I'll help you save your kind! Watch out Koopas, here comes Amy Rose!
Then Amy smacked one of the Koopa Football Players with her hammer like a baseball bat and knocked him into another Koopa Football Player. That caused all the Koopa Football Players to turn their attention on Amy and they then surrounded her. Luckily, Yoshi threw and egg bomb and the flash blinded the Koopa Football Players. Then Amy spun her hammer and performed the hammer spin attack from Sonic Adventure and knocked out all of the Koopa Football Players at once.
Yoshi- Yoshi impressed with move. We saved other Yoshi's…uh…Amy ok?
Amy was suddenly wobbling around and her eyes were spinning.
Amy- Yeah Yoshi…whoa…my hammer spin…just makes me dizzy sometimes…
Amy almost stumbled over, but Yoshi caught her with his tongue and gently put her down under a palm tree.
Yoshi- Amy wait here and rest a bit. Yoshi go talk to other Yoshi's and make sure they ok.
Yoshi talked to the Yoshi's and asked if they knew about any Koopaling or a castle. Yoshi eventually returned to Amy.
Yoshi- Yoshi have good news. Yoshi's tell Yoshi that Lemmy Koopa castle in Vanilla Dome.
Amy- Who? And where?
Yoshi- Lemmy Koopa one of Bowser's Koopalings. Weird, first time Bowser attack Yoshi Island, Lemmy have castle in Vanilla Dome. Why build new castle in same location. Vanilla Dome cave system on Yoshi Island. Yoshi know where are. Yoshi bring Amy there.
(Vanilla Dome)
After a walk through the first part of Yoshi Island and through Donut Plains, Yoshi and Amy arrived at the Vanilla Dome, a cave system on Yoshi Island and third world in Super Mario World. At the end of the tunnel, they found a castle built right on top of the ruins of the old castle that got destroyed in Super Mario World.
Yoshi- Guess Lemmy not original. He not only build second castle in same area, Lemmy build castle in same spot.
Amy- Well let's kick his ass off of Yoshi Island so we can get back to finding out what caused this world merge.
Then Yoshi saw a triangle block underneath a window in the castle.
Yoshi- Yoshi know how we get inside. Yoshi bounce on triangle blocky and bounce inside. Amy, hold tight.
Yoshi took a running start, jumped on the triangle block, and used the block as a trampoline to get into an open window.
(Inside the castle)
Yoshi and Amy eventually entered the room where Lemmy Koopa was waiting. The room was designed like a child's playroom and Lemmy kept bounce on a ball like a circus performer.
Amy- That the Koopaling? He looks so young, cute, and innocent.
Yoshi- Looks deceiving. Lemmy youngest of Koopalings, but he just as dangerous as any Koopa.
Lemmy- Lighten up my friends. I'm not such a bad Koopaling when you get to know me. Let's play ball. Catch!
Lemmy got off his ball and threw it at Amy. Amy just stood there, believing the ball was just a simple play toy. Then Yoshi wrapped his tongue around Amy and pulled her out of the way. When the ball hit the wall, it left a huge creator.
Amy- Yikes! It was like that ball was made of steel! Thanks Yoshi.
Yoshi- Yoshi know how Lemmy and other Koopalings fight. Yoshi know Lemmy likes using ball as weapon.
Lemmy- Well that's no fun! You ruined the surprise, Yoshi.
Lemmy pulled out his magic wand and made more of those balls appear and flung them at Yoshi and Amy. This time, Amy was ready and pulled out her hammer. Amy swung her hammer and knocked the balls right back at Lemmy. Lemmy got pelted with a few of those balls, but then Yoshi performed his ground pound move from Yoshi Story and hit Lemmy from above. Lemmy stumbled back a bit, but when he regained his senses, Lemmy saw Amy coming right at him with her hammer. After Amy swung her hammer and Lemmy began seeing stars.
Lemmy- (In a goofy tone) No more pickle haring for me mommy…I've got a tummy ache…
Then Lemmy toppled over with a huge lump on his head. Amy looked and saw a few drops of blood on her hammer.
Amy- Darn it! I got blood stains on my hammer. Didn't mean to hit him that hard.
Yoshi- Yoshi a little terrified now.
Amy- Oh, don't worry. I wouldn't dream of hurting you, Yoshi.
(Outside the castle)
Yoshi and Amy got outside and Amy demolished the castle with her hammer.
Amy- That's that. Now we can get back to Sonic.
Yoshi- What that? Yoshi see something in what left of castle.
Amy walked over to where Yoshi was pointing and saw a little device with an antenna.
Amy- What is this and what does it mean?
