Scene One: Fusion gets mugged. Big surprise. The makeshift raft pulled up on some beach along the Eastern coast of the USA. Fusion, Yami Yoshi, and GORE-ILLA climbed out and stretched after one whole day of sailing the ocean with nothing but fish and birds for food. “Man, I’m hungry…” GORE groaned as he devoured several hermit crabs as if they were M&M Minis. Yami Yoshi’s tongue hung out of his mouth, exhausted from catching seagulls throughout the journey. His tongue wrapped around a bundle of blankets he believed to be a plump roasted chicken. A woman then screamed about a dinosaur eating her baby. Fusion appeared to be sweating beneath his hot gold armor as he caught up to the other two. He proposed, “I think we should find somewhere to eat.” The yoshi and gorilla nodded eagerly. The trio entered the closest city, known as the City. Yami Yoshi, GORE-ILLA, and Fusion wandered through the many streets, enjoying the sights and all the while looking for a place to eat. They were interrupted by a voice calling them from the side of the road, “May I predict your future?” The trio turned to see a small crate with a blanket covering it and a crystal ball on top. Standing behind the crate was a fortune teller, clothed in a black robe and hood. He continued, “Come on, you must be concerned about something.” GORE scoffed, “I don't believe in that stuff! Let’s go, I think I see a diner-“the gorilla froze in place. The fortune teller smirked beneath his hood. “Now would you like your fortune told?” Fusion stepped up. “Alright, but first unfreeze GORE.” The fortune teller sighed and snapped his fingers. GORE fell over on the floor and let off a string of curses. The teller returned his attention to Fusion. “The mystics require that I charge up front, and they accept only credit cards.” “Alright,” Fusion grumbled as he pulled out a credit card he had somehow acquired along his path to Yoshi’s Island and handed it to the fortune teller. “Wait, I don’t see any credit card checker thin-“before he could finish his sentence, the fortune teller kicked the crate at the team and ran off. “Get back here with my credit card!” Fusion yelled as he pursued the robed figure. GORE yelled, “I knew he was a con!” as he followed Fusion. Yami Yoshi yelled, “Hey, wait up!” as he ran after the two super powered warriors at a sluggish pace. Scene Two: Conference with Mystery Figure Numbah Two! Yes, another mysterious figure. This one was, as usual, hidden beneath a large cloak. He sat at the head of the long conference table. Sitting on each side was two figures whom were easily identified as video game characters Bowser and King Boo. And sitting at the opposite end of the table was none other then Sir Lupus the Turk of the TWIFATIT. The cloaked figure spoke in his deep, booming voice, “As you all know by now, I represent the universe’s strongest empire. And we are offering leaders of major organizations such as you chances to live by siding with our empire. At least you’ll be on the winning side.” King Boo and Bowser hopped up in enthusiasm and willingly signed the document the Cloaked Figure passed along the table. King Boo commented, “The Haunted Union Army will willingly aid your cause!” “And so will the Koopa Legion!” Bowser guffawed. The document reached Lupus. He simply laughed, “No.” The figure appeared shocked. “So Lupus, you would rather die independently then rule the universe at the side of its strongest tyrant? We can get the Illuminati out of your hair with minimal effort!” “I’m not worried about the Illuminati at all,” Lupus sighed, “and your ultimate empire will always come second to the TWIFATIT. I will never disobey the Sheitish way!” Then, before anyone could say anything more, the chair spun around and Lupus was gone. Scene Three: Fighting Fortune Teller. The fortune teller rushed into an abandoned warehouse. It was large, empty, dank, and dirty. This was his temporary home, at least until his cons paid off. And this time it had, as this credit card would bring him the riches he seeks. Suddenly, the front door blew off its hinges. Standing in the gaping entrance was Fusion and GORE-ILLA. The fortune teller gasped as the two powerhouses approached. The fortune teller snapped his fingers as her yelled, “Time Freeze!” This time, both Fusion and GORE-ILLA were frozen in time. He cackled in satisfaction as he sat down on a rusty crate and cracked open a stolen can of beer. “Stop right there!” A tired voice shouted. The fortune teller turned to see Yami Yoshi silhouetted in the doorway, panting for air. “Unfreeze my friends right now!” The fortune teller laughed as he crushed the tin can in his hand. “Pathetic dinosaur! I can only use my Time Freeze once until the existing is cancelled, I do not need it to defeat such a weakling as you!” Yami Yoshi gritted his teeth (figuratively, since yoshis don’t have teeth of course) in anger and sprinted towards the robe figure. He rammed his head into the robed elder and caught him by surprise, knocking him off his seat. Yami then produced a Dark Egg and chucked it at the fallen antagonist. The fortune teller climbed to his feet seconds later, scorched but otherwise unharmed, and sent Yami Yoshi flying back with a magic blast. The dino landed in a pile of rusty crates. “I have other abilities besides my signature time freeze, as you can see.” The fortune teller spoke as he approached the frozen duo. “I sure hit the big one this time! I recognize you guys now - Yami Yoshi, Fusion, and GORE-ILLA! You have quite large bounties on your heads, and since he dead reward is he highest, I’d better get started!” The fortune teller stretched his arms and open palms forwards facing GORE-ILLA and Fusion. The air surrounding them slowly started to crack. “Oh don’t worry; there’ll be enough of you left to prove my victory! And the yoshi won’t be any problem now!” Yami crawled out of the wreckage; bruised, bleeding, and angry. His Millennium Egg glowed and swayed as if pushed by a strong wind. A blind flash enveloped the room as the fortune teller shielded his vulnerable eyes. Yami Yoshi’s silhouette changed, growing thinner, taller, and darker. The fortune teller stepped back in bewilderment and stuttered, “W-what trickery is this?!” Through the light, the fortune teller could see the creature’s face staring back at him – and a glowing, egg-shaped symbol appeared on its forehead. It held out its hand and yelled on a confident voice, “MIND CRUSH!” The fortune teller dropped to his knees and clutched his head in pain. Within his cranium, an egg had formed around his brain and slowly started to shrink, squeezing it like a sponge. "YAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! MY HEAD!!! TAKE IT!!! TAKE IT ALL!!!" he screamed as he tossed the credit card and a pile of bills at the outline before he passed out on the greasy warehouse floor. The booming voice echoed through the blinding light, "You are lucky that you are not dead, Fortune Teller. But do not bother us again." The light died down, the egg disappeared, and Yami Yoshi was back to his normal self, panting heavily. “W-what just happened?” he stuttered. Fusion and GORE-ILLA walked up to the black yoshi. GORE exclaimed, "Wow! Good job Yami, looks like you really put a number on the fortune teller!" Fusion also expressed his gratitude. But as they spoke, the robed con artist slowly climbed to his feet, clutching his pounding head. He had no memories of today's events, but the second he saw Yami Yoshi he let out a very feminine shriek. "STAY BACK!! AHH!!" The fortune teller rushed out the destroyed front door, still shrieking like a girl scout being flushed down a toilet. The card in Yami Yoshi’s hand caught Fusion’s eye, and he quickly swiped it from the dinosaur. He beamed beneath his helmet and held it up to the camera, anime-style as he yelled, "Yes! I got my credit card back!" "Impressive deed." A voice echoed from across the warehouse. "Too bad you will not live to appreciate its joy." The trio turned over to see a green-haired man leaning against the distant wall. "LUPUS!!!1" the group shouted in unison as the Turk slowly approached them. Suddenly, Lupus was cut off by a cloaked figure - the very same from earlier. "Lupus! You worthless fool! You refused to join the Alliance, and I now consider you an enemy! Prepare for your demise." "Really." Lupus stated rhetorically. "And just how do you plan to do that?" The figure pulled off his cloak, revealing that he was tall, bulky, intimidating, and made of stone. "I am Exodia, the Stone Warrior of V!" He focused a ball of energy between his hands, aimed at Lupus. "Now - OBLIVERATION!!!" A giant blast flew across the room and caused a giant explosion. When the dust settled, half of the warehouse was completely demolished - and there was no sign of Lupus. Exodia turned to face Yami Yoshi, GORE-ILLA and Fusion. "Now don't think that I have forgotten you puny mortals..." To Be Continued in Chapter 4: "Exodia" - Lupus goes on an adventure through the afterlife and Yami Yoshi's group is pitted against the deadly Exodia! |
