Yoshizilla: This chapter is going to be much darker than the previous parts...and why? Because ALMOST all of the racers in the Turbo Traffic City racecourse will go through an unavoidable fate (as shown by Bowser/Mewtwo/Ganondorf and the unconcious Sonic the Hedgehog and Amy Rose (who practically no one cares about anymore up to this point)), so now you will get to see WHAT happen as the race gets more brutal and darker than ever before...
Disclaimer: I know I'm pretty much washed up and disclaimed all of my disclaimers by this point, but for the sake of being fresh and original again, I can proudly resort to this for this and perhaps the following chapters: Viewer descresion IS advised. After all, this isn't rated Teen without a good reason...
Yoshizilla: Yes, and as I have changed greatly, so has Yoshi Kart. And FINALLY, by the next chapter, some of the racers that i ABSOLUTELY DESPISE that I only placed in to get the fanfic to be more popular (because apparently, crossover fics really bring lots of people, especially in Super Smash Brothers) are going to get what they deserve, and for those who have been reading throughly, you'll know which racers I mean. (cough they're from SEGA, Capcom, and Square-Enix cough). Anyway, that is all I have to say. Enjoy the chapter, and don't worry! Another one is in the works as we speak...
Master Hand woke up. "Huh...what...?" He forced himself out from the mud and looked at both of his sides, to see Crazy Hand and Taj in the mud. Witha snap of his finger, Master Hand magically lifted Crazy Hand and Taj out of the mud.
"Crazy Hand! Taj!" Master Hand snapped loudly, looking up at the Eggman-themed announcers' booth, and then looking all around him at the entire area, Eggman-themed as well, turning back to Crazy Hand and Taj, "We have to fix this terrible mess."
"Should we storm the place?" Crazy Hand suggested, looking up at the announcers' booth.
"Hrmmm...maybe, but we're right below Eggman and his goonies, and plus, if he closes the warp, then the racers won't be able to get back at all!" Master Hand exclaimed. He sighed and thought for a moment. "Let us just wait and formulate a plan."
On the now dangerous streets of the Turbo Traffic City, Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi have sped out of the Turbine Tunnel in their Turbo Yoshi vehicle and are now noticing the huge disaster left over by the Yoshi Series/Diddy Kong Racing bosses.
"Doc! We'll never get by this destruction path!" Yoshi exclaims, noticing a burning truck.
Dr. Hoshi rubs his chin, thinking. "Hrmmm...Yoshi, my dear boy, I think it's for the best that we went...this way." He turned the steering wheel, and drove the Yoshi Kart to the right, going up a dirt-paved path into the bushes.
As the two dinosaurs sped through the lush, green vegetation, some of the Diddy Kong Racing characters use the moment to turn into planes and fly over the gigantic debris.
Up ahead on the dirt-paved path are Mario/Luigi in the Green Fire and Princess Peach in her pink kart, jumping off the small ledge and landing on the street below. Sliding to the right, lower curve, Mario takes the wheel from Luigi and uses a mushroom, sending the Green Fire zooming. Luigi tossed behind him a green Koopa shell, which Peach avoids by bouncing over it. Swerving to the right, Peach takes out a red Koopa shell, and fires it, hitting Mario/Luigi square on. Peach then zooms past the two brothers, using a mini-turbo on the right-left-right curves. Mario switches with Luigi, and tosses in a mushroom, the Green Fire going down the right-left-right curve in a straight line. Peach turns around and tosses behind her a small banana peel, turning to the left and entering a small tunnel.
The Green Fire bounces over the banana peel, and turns left at the last second, hitting the wall. Narrowly missing collision with a bus coming in the opposite direction, Mario tosses in another mushroom into the engine, and the Green Fire swerves to the left, aside a school bus. The school bus honks its horn angrily as Mario/Luigi swerve right in front of it, missing a freight truck, which also blasts its horn.
Peach turns around to see the Mario Brothers coming. She steps on the breaks, and her kart stops. Mario and Luigi both scream as the Green Fire swerves into the right, colliding into a small white sedan. Peach smirks and starts her kart again, sliding to the left and reammurging in the streets. Peach then turns right and goes upward, turning right and driving on an overpass. Mario starts up the engine again, and the Green Fire starts to sputter gas as it gets back into control. Using a mushroom to help blast past traffic, the Green Fire reammurges from the small tunnel into the street and swerves to the left, driving next to a bus.
"Mario, look!" Luigi exclaims, pointing at Peach, who speds down the overpass and turns right, appearing in a one-lane path and going downwards.
The Green Fire turns right, and it zooms over the overpass (with Peach going under it), and up ahead are several tall buildings.
Mario narrows his eyes. "Hang on, Luigi!" He shouts, tossing in a Star and revving the engine as the Green Fire goes faster and then jumps over the long ramp ahead, soaring over the off-course grass and breaking through the dinwo of a tall building. The Green Fire turns left and then slides into the right, swerving by while avoiding desks and working dinosaurs. Zooming through a coffee machine, the Green Fire breaks through the building's other window and lands on the off-course grass.
Mario and Luigi take the moment to enjoy their coffee. As they are, Peach speds passed them, waving as he slids to the right curve of the one-lane road. Mario and Luigi gasped, switching positions and getting ready. With a mushroom tossed into the engine, Luigi revves up the engine, and the green fire goes zooming again, sharply turning to the right (part of the Green Fire scratching itself on one of the buildings), and then jumping over the small railings and getting back on the path.
Peach turns around to see Mario and Luigi. She looks ahead and sees the warp portal, right in the middle of the road fork, with small railings surrounding it. Closing her eyes, Peach attatches a rocket booster to the engine, and sets it up, causing her kart to propel over high speeds, and jumping over the visible railing, going through the warp portal, while the traffic go to the right and left turns.
Mario and Luigi both follow, the Green Fire swerving to the left avoiding a food truck, and then jumping over the railing, into the warp portal.
Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi cxontinued to travel down the dirt-paved path. Turning right, the pair were then rammed into the vegetation aside by Pikachu, who was charging his small, yellow kart's engine with electricity. Yoshi switched positions with Dr. Hoshi, and as Dr. Hoshi slid down the downwards right curve, Yoshi grabbed an item box, getting a hookshot. He grabbed it and tossed it at the back of Pikachu's kart, attatching it to the Turbo Yoshi's engine. As Pikachu jumped over the small ridge, the Turbo Yoshi followed.
Pikachu turned around to notice Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi. Turning to the right turn, Pikachu used Iron Tail and knocked the hookshot off. Pikachu then released a small jolt behind him, electricuting Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi. He then bounced over a green Koopa shell and zoomed straight down the path, before sharply turning to the left, the left side of his kart bumping into a tall building.
With Yoshi tossing a mushroom into the engine, the Turbo Yoshi sped back, sliding on the left turn and swerving to the right, avoiding collision with a freight truck. The Turbo Yoshi then slipped on a banana peel tossed by Pikachu. With Dr. Hoshi starting up the engine again, the Turbo Yoshi drove down the road, swerving to the next right lane (avoiding a bus, followed by a school bus and a small, red sedan) and turned to the right. Turning to the left turn and then turning again to the right a few seconds later, the Turbo Yoshi was then paralyzed by Pikachu's thunderbolt.
Pikachu bounced over the railings, and started using his electricity as much as he could while going down the similar path of the road. Turning left and being stuck between the railing and the buildings on the other side of him, Pikachu used Iron tail on the railings, and turned to the right, entering the road again. Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi, sliding to the left (which allowed them to avoid a Wiggler Bus) turned downwards the left curve and zoomed past Pikachu. Yoshi released some oil behind the Turbo yoshi, which Pikachu's kart slipped on and started spinning around. the warp portal between the fork in the road, the Turbo Yoshi jumped over the railing and went straight into it. Getting his kart back in control, Pikachu zoomed downwards to the warp portal and also jumped over the railing, going into the warp portal.
Scratch turned to Decoe. "Hey, the loser racers are coming. How's the update on Sonic and his friends?" He clucked after that.
"Sonic and his friends are as good as dead now," Decoe explained, "they're trapped in the cave with no way out, and a cave-in is about to take place."
Grounder grinned. "Gee, Dr. Robotnik will be happy to hear that." He turned around and shouted to Dr. Eggman, "Hey, Robotnik! Decoe has some great news for us!"
Dr. Eggman rushed over. "Yes, what is it?" He asked.
"Sonic and his friends are trapped in the Turbine Tunnel," Decoe told the Doctor, "And the upcoming cave-in's gauranteed to kill them!"
"And plus, with all that debris, I DOUBT that they'll escape!" Coconuts laughed, alongside with Bocoe.
Outside of the booth, Master Hand is thinking while Crazy Hand and Taj think about the other racers.
"They'll be here soon..." Master Hand quietly muttered, thinking throughly.
"I wonder how the other racers are doing..." Crazy Hand wondered.
It was then that Peach zoomed out of the warp portal nearby, exhausted in her pink kart. The audience cheered loudly, and appearing a few seconds later were Mario and Luigi, both exhausted in their Green Fire.
Master Hand looked up, and smiled. "Well, so far the Mario Brothers and the Mushroom Kingdom princess managed mto make it. It won't be too long, now."
"What about the Sonic Team?" Crazy Hand asked, worried for them.
Taj eyed Crazy Hand very suspiciously. "Why is Crazy Hand more concerned with the Sonic characters than the Super Smash Brothers...?" He asked himself in his thought.
Master Hand shook his head. "Unfortunately, I have no signs of them at all." He sighed, and then noticed that Yoshi/Dr. Hoshi and Pikachu drove out of the warp portal. He let out a sigh of relief. "Good. That's two more racers."
The three pre-announcers then heard the badniks talking about how Team Sonic was fairing, and their unfortunate luck.
Master Hand overheard this clearly, and he looked at Crazy Hand and Taj worriedly. "We can't let this happen! Crazy Hand, go alert all of the Lakitus. Taj, try to stall them."
Crazy Hand contacted the Lakitus as he was told, telling them about Sonic Team's position while Taj went sneaking back to the control room to stall Dr. Eggman and his cronies, who were plotting on what to do with the other racers.
Master Hand sighed and continued to think to himself, a handful of Lakitus going through the different warp portals to Turbo Traffic City to help out the racers in need.
