Chapter 5: Start of a new friendship?


Last chapter, we left off in a crucial moment, Yoshi met his inminent demise as a single error while walking lead him to the dreaded black hole that loomed nearby where he was...

Was this the end of him?

So it seemed...

Yoshi screamed, hoping for help, to no avail.
He closed his eyes, ready for impact when suddenly he felt something grabbing his arm...
"What?" Yoshi asked himself, and looked up...
"M. Para Koopa? Is that you?"
"Yep!"
Yoshi was surprised, as a Koopa saved him from his demise.
"Y-yo-you... Saved me?" He asked scared.
"Yeah :P"
"But... Why? We are from opposite sides! Good and evil!"
"I know... But you seem like a nice guy... And I wanted to help for once ^^;" M. Para Koopa replied.
"Oh... Thanks then! :)" Yoshi said, and M. Para Koopa put him on the starting platform of the area.
"Wanna help me in the mission?" Yoshi asked.
"I would like to, but I can't right now, I was just taking a little stroll through here. See ya around!" M. Para Koopa replied, waved at Yoshi and left.
"Bye!" Yoshi said and went for the remaining silver star, while thinking the fact that a Koopa saved him, and if he should trust him now.

Later, Yoshi returned home, trying to shake off that near-death experience...

"Well, I'm back home..." Yoshi sighed in relief.
While walking, he got greeted by the one and only, Toad.
"HELLO!"
"HOLY CRAP!" Yoshi landed on the ground after hearing that recognizable voice.
"Ha! Got you!" Toad bursted in laughter after yelling.
"Oh... Lol!" Yoshi said while standing up again.
"Anyway... Ha... What is up!?" Toad asked Yoshi.
"Eh... Just returned from a trip."
"To where?"
"To the Sp- WAIT! Warp Zone Mall! Yeah! Warp Zone Mall!" Yoshi felt a bit nervous.
"Uhh... How?" Toad asked confused.
"Through the door, obviously!" Yoshi replied in a sarcastic way.
"Where else?"
Toad facepalmed.
"No dude, I mean, how did you enter the Mall TODAY? Today's Pianta Day!" Toad yelled hastily.
"Wait what?!" Yoshi said surprised, and took a second to think.
"Oh... Lol XD"
"Yeah..."
"Well, if that's the case, I was at good ol' Yoshi's Island!" Yoshi replied, trying to hide his nervousness.
"Okay then...." Toad looked at Yoshi with a weird face.
"Well, wanna play some Mario Galaxy at your house?" He asked.
"Uhh... No thanks!" Yoshi answered.
"I... Will be going to do something else." Yoshi waved Goodbye at Toad, and went home.

Now we switch to the great Koopa Kingdom, Bowser's Castle exactly.
Most of the highest ranked baddies are reunited with the King of the Koopas himself, brainstorming ideas for a new evil plan...

That definetly doesn't include Princess Kidnapping.

Bowser put his hand in the table, making it shake a bit.
"Ok people, me and Kamek here have done something really good, that will help us on our plans to, besides Kidnapping for good Peach, take over the Mushroom Kingdom, and beyond! Kamek, can you explain?"
"Of course, your majesty." Kamek slowly said as he walked to a wall, and made it reflect a spacey background with his wand.
"We have been trying to use countless inventions to beat our loyal enemies, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and all of those people. But they've all failed.
Airships!
Tanks!
UFO's!
Heck, even a whole Galaxy reactor and generator!!
And guess what. We-"
"We. Failed. It's obvious." Gooms said in annoyance.
"Don't even dare to interrupt me again!" Kamek yelled.
"Geez, ok, Mr. Wandguy." Gooms rolled his eyes.
"Ok. As I was saying, all those inventions have failed. We may also use them again, but we got 2 more, that the Mario Bros. Didn't ever think they were potential weapons!" Kamek said, and everybody muttered to each other what would it be.
"I present to you...
THE BATTLEROCK AND THE DREADNOUGHT!!!" Kamek yelled and made a picture of the Battlerock and Dreadnought Galaxies appear, freshly taken from a satellite.
Everybody went silent, and Bowser chuckled.
"Isn't it amazing, my minions?!" Bowser asked the audience that were his minions.
"That's amazing! I work at the Dreadnought!" B. Bob-Omb said, wanting to clap.
"Oh that place, Goombeetle works at the Big Pebble Rock thing." Goomfrey said, barely amused.
"Yep! But don't you all know how much power do they hold? The Battlerock is capable of holding captive the entire Kingdom! The Dreadnought, can destroy a planet within the blink of an eye!" Kamek said, and everybody wondered.
"Our guy here is right! We will discuss more features now! Go on, Kamek!" Bowser commanded, and Kamek nodded, and resumed his speech.

Now we zoom in towards Koopa, who is wandering along Toad Road (not the Mario Party board! XD) searching for something...

"Hmm... Maybe somebody here knows what's up with M. Para Koopa? My expectations are low, but I'll see."
He walked until he heard a conversation between a Toad and a Goomba, at the other side of the street.
"And Yoshi just seems to be kinda like, hiding something everytime he talks to me..." Toad said to the Goomba.
"Whuzzat? What a coincidence! This Para Troopa called M. Para Koopa has been acting like that too!" The Goomba replied surprised.
Koopa overheard everything, and came to a conclusion.
"Hmm... Yoshi... M. Para Koopa... Secret... Nervous... Hide... I gotcha! Imma call some Shy Guys to bring me M. Para Koopa, and if my thoughts are correct, I'll tell Kamek!" Koopa snapped his fingers, and ran away.
