VGF Member OG: Special Edition (Fanfic)

OoC: This is a fanfic started by myself, meant to be a retelling of the original VGF Member OG, made all nifty and story based. Despite the original's success, it still had plenty of need of improvement, especially in the coherancy department. This remake will have a lot of things expanded upon which I couldn't touch upon in the sprite comic, and I hope that after this I can move onto the other OGs. Note that since this is a fanfic, I'll be doing most of the writing, but others may volunteer to write parts or submit suggestions. Enjoy!

VGF Member OG Special Edition:
Chapter One: “Stolen Cheesecake” by GORE-ILLA, based on chapters written by Yami Yoshi, Sir Lupus the Turk, GORE-ILLA, Fusion, BSD, Introbulus, and SwordMaster.

Scene One: Yami Yoshi has a crisis.

The teenage yoshi sighed aloud as he sat slumped into a large armchair. The television fizzled before him. Nothing good was on as usual, and checking his watch, he realized there were still a few hours until the Simpsons came on. He looked like most yoshis, with the big nose, saddle-like back and white stripe running down from his cheeks to his stubby tail. His arms were skinny and pretty weak compared to his powerful legs. He had black skin and eyes, wore blue sneakers, and had an odd, egg-shaped ornament hanging from his neck. He had jokingly called the golden egg with silver spots the "Millennium Egg" after another of his favorite shows, Yu-Gi-Oh. In fact, it was his love of Yu-Gi-Oh that earned him the name "Yami Yoshi".

"Man, I'm hungry! I think I'll raid the fridge." Yami Yoshi climbed to his feet and began slowly walking towards the kitchen of his egg-shaped house. As you might have guessed, he is an inhabitant of Yoshi's Island, located off the coast of Japan (at least in this series.)

There was another special thing about this yoshi. He was a Moderator, one of the few selected to guard the secrets of the Boards, which archive famous battles, contests, adventures, and parties of the past. This particular "Mod" was in charge of Ongoing Stories - or OGs as they were often called. The OGs documented historical adventures, including the tales of the legendary Party Goers whom, sadly, have mysteriously disappeared and with them went many recollections of their quests.

Yami entered the kitchen, which lay in shambles - more so then usual. Bowls and cookbooks covered the floor, and several of his koopa shells lay shattered on the floor. Wondering what had happened, he rushed to the fridge and opened the door. It wasn't there.

Sure, there were eggs, juice, soda, iced tea, lemonade, and various types of food there. But only It was missing. The yoshi panicked. "What? I-it can't be... SOMEONE STOLE MY CHEESECAKE!!!!" He quickly slammed the door shut and inspected the handle with a magnifying glass. He had studied fingerprints of dangerous villains or SPAMmers as the Mods had called them. It was because of this that Yami immediately identified the thief. "I knew it! It's Lupus!" he yelled.

"What?" asked a voice coming from behind Yami. He spun around and found himself facing Lupus himself. He was tall and appeared to be a human between seventeen and twenty-one years old. He wore baggy clothes and had short, green, spiky hair. He was one of the three infamous commanders of the TWIFATIT organization - a crime syndicate set on converting the world to Sheitism and proving that the world is, in fact, flat. A sack was hanging over his shoulder and he was already hanging halfway out Yami Yoshi's window.

“You stole my cheesecake,” Yami explained, “But you're not in this scene. I'm supposed to say your name, then the scene changes to your evil mountain lair of clichéd doom.”

Lupus nodded, “Right,” as he leaped out the window and ran into the distance.

Yami Yoshi yelled out, “Somebody should do something!” A long silence followed. Yami then sat down and began playing Advance Wars on his Game Boy Advance.

Scene Two: Enter the Villain.

The EVIL Mountain Lair of Clichéd Doom, an insane looking fortress sitting atop a monstrous mountain, overlooked a great forest. A man was currently dashing up the long mountain trail. The castle was filled with endless halls and corridors. Hidden somewhere in the base was the main command deck.

The walls were decorated with paintings of famous dictators and random celebrities. A large, expensive throne was located in the center of the room. Sitting in the throne was a turtle-like figure. A koopa troopa to be more precise. He had a red shell, hooked bill, and black eyes. He spoke in a deep, booming voice, “Where is he? He’s half an hour late!”

Lupus suddenly dashed into the room, still holding the sack and panting for air. “Ski lift’s out,” he spoke between his deep breaths.

The koopa immediately hopped off the luxurious throne and bowed to his boss. He spoke in a nervous voice, “H-how are you, Sir Lupus the Turk? I cleaned your clichéd throne, sire.”

“Good, Koopa. Now fix those ski lifts!” Koopa nodded and began to walk towards the exit while Lupus suddenly pulled a cheesecake out of his sack, held it above his head, and burst out, “YAMI YOSHI'S CHEESECAKE IS ALL MINE! MINE!! SOON I CAN BEGIN MY ULTIMATE EVIL PLOT SO FAR... TO MAKE THE WORLD CONVERT INTO SHEITISM!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

Koopa asked, “And a cheesecake is going to help you do that how?”

Lupus replied, “It’s not.” There was a long pause. Lupus then yelled, “Ski lift's calling!”

“Right,” Koopa acknowledged as he rushed outside.

Scene 3: A Mad Lot of Foreshadowing.

But little did Yami Yoshi know that during that moment in time, five other warriors were destined to meet with him, and change his formerly simple life forever. The powerful gorilla, the master of metal, the “perfect” fighter, the newbie hybrid, and the noble swordsman…

Scene 4: GORE-ILLA’s Construction.

EVIL Scientist Dude laughed maniacally in his laboratory. He was tall, with crazy hair, goggles, and your usual mad scientist getup. The lab was part of a TWIFATIT-owned village in the shadow of Lupus’s mountain lair, inhabited mostly by the Turk’s gorilla slave army. “It is complete at last! My ultimate creation!” he yelled, just before he bent over and pulled a tray of Ellio’s Pizza out of the oven. “I think I should check on the other experiment,” he said as he turned to a table in the middle of the room.

Lying strapped to the middle of the room was a large gorilla with dark-brown fur. However, his right arm, left leg, and the left half of his face were completely mechanized with a blank black eye. He was asleep at the moment, with a memory download wire plugged into his mechanical ear.

EVIL Scientist declared, “At least he is complete! I will call him… GORE-ILLA!!!” The scientist then unplugged the memory download wire. GORE-ILLA’s mechanical left eye glowed red as the bright sun.

GORE scoured his database for memories of who he was, in backwards order. Violently attacked by the giant rubber duckie – being assigned to clean the rubber duck stables by Gorilla Number 508 – 508 bearing a distinct grudge against him – falling in love with 508’s sister – waking up one morning in a slave camp – and nothing more.

That accounted only for the past two or three years, yet GORE estimated himself to be about thirty years old. Where were the other memories of his past? It was then he noticed the maniacal scientist standing before him. The muscular gorilla grunted as he leapt from to the floor, lifted the table above his head, and flung it across the room. It flew right over Scientist Dude’s head and shattered into pieces upon hitting the wall. GORE-ILLA then tore his way through the lab as the professor took cover behind collapsed machinery until the giant ape leapt out the window.

EVIL Scientist strolled casually through his ruined lab and reached for the pepper.

Scene Five: A God-Modder is born.

“You’ve gone too far, Giovanni. I will not do this,” said the figure angrily. He was tall, covered completely with gold armor and wearing a black cape.

“Oh no Fusion, you must. I order you to assassinate Yami Yoshi or die. I created you, and you will obey my orders!” spoke Giovanni, black-haired leader of Team Rocket garbed in a black tuxedo.

The golden-armored figure, now identified as Fusion, spoke in disgust. “That’s it! I’ve had enough of you, Giovanni! I quit!” He then immediately flew through the roof of the Team Rocket headquarters and took off into the sunset.

Giovanni stared through the gaping hole in the wall as Fusion escaped and cursed under his breath. But he knew where Fusion was going, and he was also not going to except another ‘Mewtwo Incident’. He ordered to a Rocket Grunt standing guard near the door, “Soldier, deploy the army… to Yoshi Island.

Scene Six: Introbulus for Hire.

Deep in space:

The blonde-haired man scoffed as he held the device, which was handheld and bore a striking resemblance to an old Game & Watch machine. He pressed a button on the machine, which buzzed, “Good morning, Introbulus. Your mission today is directly from headquarters. You must help a group of heroes in the war against the TWIFATIT crime syndicate. Thank you.”

The man now identified as Introbulus quickly tossed on some silver armor concealing all his body but his head and donned a black cape. He then turned around to see a red cloak seemingly floating behind him. No visible body could be seen beneath the cloak, with the exception of two glowing evil eyes.

Introbulus spoke, “C’mon, Jim! We’ve got a mission straight from HQ!”

Jim the floating evil cloak said, “Alright, but I’m driving this time. And make sure you go before we leave!” as he followed Introbulus through the shambled room to a docking bay where a station wagon was parked. A black portal opened before them at Jim’s command, and the duo dashed through it.

Scene Seven: Dragoshi appears. Meh. Beh. Meh.

In Tokyo, Japan, loud footsteps echoed throughout the vast city. Hundreds of troops marched through the streets, waving a flag bearing the infamous TWIFATIT insignia – an emblem of a flat earth. However, they found their path blocked by one creature. Like Yami Yoshi, he was a black yoshi. But unlike Yami, he had long claws, messy brown hair, and a large pair of purple wings. A sheath was strapped to one of his wings. He was known as Black Skull Dragoshi. Dragoshi reached into his sheath and drew his multicolored Rainbow Sword.

Dragoshi roared loudly as he rushed into the crowd, swinging his sword around threateningly. He hacked, slashed, clawed, and bit his way through the platoon. But he began to tire after the first five or so soldiers.

Panting for breath, Black Skull Dragoshi was forced to retreat, flapping his wings at full speed to escape the troop.

Scene Eight: The Defender of Cheesecake

A man lies asleep in his bed; a legendary sword lay next to his bed. His moppy brown hair was visible, as well as a large amount of food scattered across his bed. He sat up in bed and turned on the television. The news reporter stated conveniently, “In other news, Lupus has apparently kidnapped Yami Yoshi's cheesecake and has been held it hostage for the past 3 days!”

The man leaped up from the bed in the one-room bachelor pad in shock and announced, “WHAT!!?? I must punish him for this atrocity! For I am.....” He quickly unsheathed the sword and held it above his head, wearing only his light blue pajamas with bunny slippers as he yelled, “SwordMaster, Defender of Cheesecake!!!” A small fanfare played in the background.

SwordMaster immediately dashed outside, and then realized that he was still wearing his pajamas. He ran back inside, and then came back out in dark blue armor with a matching cape before he noticed that he had absolutely no idea where Lupus was. So he simply ran into the forest, screeching Xena-style.

To Be Continued in Chapter Two: “Escape From Yoshi Island!”

VGF Member OG Special Edition:
Chapter Two: “Escape from Yoshi’s Island” by GORE-ILLA, based on chapters written by GORE-ILLA and Fusion. Team Rocket Omega characters borrowed from Magikoopa.

Scene One: Get ready for one big-ass scene.

Yami Yoshi yawned as he woke up on the couch to hear something rapping heavily at his door. Yami slowly crawled off the sofa, slipped on some sneakers, donned his Millennium Egg, and trudged towards the door, yelling, "I'M COMIN', I'M COMIN'!" He twisted the doorknob with his small reptilian hand and slowly opened the door.

Standing on his doormat was a large, burly half-cyborg gorilla. The gorilla extended his oversized paw, which Yami Yoshi reluctantly shook. He appeared to have walked a long way and thus spent no time explaining his proposition. "Hello, Yami Yoshi. I'm GORE-ILLA, and I wish to join you on your quest to stop Lupus."

Yami looked puzzled. "Lupus? Ohhhh yeah, him. (Forgot all about that guy! Hmm, with this big guy with me I might stand a chance of getting back my cheesecake.) Alright, I guess I could let you enroll in my super all-star team to defeat Lupus."

GORE replied, "Thanks, we need to take down that TWIFATIT menace before he destroys the world. (Heh, with this guy on my side, I could use him to track the cheesecake and Lupus - so that way I get the cheesecake for myself and threaten Lupus 'til he tells me about my past.) Pleasure to be doing business with you."

Suddenly, a loud siren was heard as a variety of vehicles all parked on the island's shore, led by a Flying Submarine. Hundreds of Team Rocket Grunts poured out of the crafts armed with pokeballs. "Team Rocket?!" Yami Yoshi and GORE exclaimed in unison. They dashed inside, and then barred the door shut.

But that did not matter, as there was already a gaping hole in the wall and a man covered in gold armor lying on the couch. Yami and GORE got in position, but the man silenced them as he yelled, "I'm not a Rocket! I'm Fusion, don't hurt me!" Yami and GORE looked at each other in confusion. "I was created by Team Rocket, but I rebelled and escaped once they ordered me to kill you," he continued, pointing to Yami Yoshi.

"How do we know that?" Yami interrogated.

"There's no time!" GORE yelled as pokeballs flew through the windows and hole in the wall, releasing a small army of dangerous pokemon.

Fusion yelled, "Follow me if you want to live!" as he rocketed through the wall. GORE and Yami ran out after him, the latter complaining about his ruined house.

They rushed into the flower fields. "Where's Lupus's base, GORE?" Yami asked.

"If I remember correctly," GORE-ILLA stated, "it should on a mountain somewhere in the Rocky Mountain Range, back in America."

"Why didn't you say so?! We're going the wrong way!" Fusion yelled as he turned around in midair and sped back towards the Team Rocket army, GORE and Yami lagging behind again. The Rocket Grunts began firing bazookas, nets, and various other weapons at the trio, which they surprisingly dodged.

GORE leapt headfirst into the crowd, punching out, tripping, and kicking as many nameless Grunts as he could. Fusion fired blasts of energy that incinerated various members. And Yami Yoshi tossed explosive black eggs with red spots which he called "Dark Eggs".

Standing at the back of the group was the leader of the raid, the three known as Team Rocket Omega. MagiKoopa was the leader, a mysterious turtle who wore a hooded cloak concealing all but his shady koopa face. BomberMan looked like a dark version of the video game star bearing the same name. Lastly, Mecha Sonic looked like he had hopped right out of the Sonic Mecha Madness comics - a blue mechanical hedgehog with a large inventory of weapons. All three stood before a flying submarine which had a large, red "R" painted on it.

They were surrounded by dead or wounded Team Rocket members on every side. Yami Yoshi, Fusion, and GORE-ILLA faced off with the trio. "Ah, it appears that Yami Yoshi and his group have not been underestimated," Magi spoke in an ancient tone.

Yami Yoshi asked, "Who the hell are you?"

BomberMan piped up, "Don't speak that way to Magi, you retarded dinosaur!"

GORE-ILLA threatened, "Inferior piece of machinery. I could crush you as easily as I would a grape."

Mecha Sonic interfered, "My sensors detect that you are weaker then a soggy dog."

Fusion retorted, "Then I'd hate to hear what your sensors say about you!"

It began. Mecha Sonic jetted towards Fusion, and the two had a high speed, DBZ-like battle. GORE tackled BomberMan and repeatedly punched him. Yami Yoshi danced anxiously to dodge the bolts shooting from Magi's wand.

A propeller emerged from Bombsie's back, causing himself and GORE-ILLA to shoot upward. Bomber then spun upside down, leaving GORE hanging several hundred feet above Yami Yoshi's head, held up only by his hand wrapped around BomberMan's neck. The tiny robot jerked around suddenly in midair, shaking GORE and nearly causing him to lose his grip. BomberMan then produced a lit bomb from nowhere and held it above his head. GORE brought up his legs and kicked BomberMan in the stomach, wrapping his legs around the small alien in the process. "What are you doing?!" BomberMan exclaimed, "Your weight is draining the BombCopter's energy, and we'll both fall!"

GORE-ILLA smirked, "At least I won't die alone." So GORE, BomberMan, and the armed bomb fell towards the ground at amazing speed.

Fusion and Mecha Sonic flew towards each other at amazing velocity. Mecha fired several lasers from cannons attached to his hands, which Fusion deflected with his forearm. He then rammed into the metal hedgehog, causing it to double back in pain. MS quickly recovered as Fusion began his next assault and blocked all of his attacks.

Metal Sonic taunted, “I fear that your chances of victory are decreasing by each passing moment.

Fusion spoke in anger, “You have yet to see my true power!!!” he shouted as he charged dark energy between his two hands. He finally screamed, “Shadow Blam!” releasing a beam of pure darkness which sent Mecha Sonic flying into the distance.

Yami Yoshi darted back and forth to avoid the blasts of lightning fired by the wand of the angry MagiKoopa, who floated above the ground surrounded by a bubble of magic energy. Yami breathed heavily from exhaustion. Yami quickly produced an egg and announced, “Dark Egg!” as he tossed the deadly egg into the air. However, it merely splashed against the koopa’s powerful shield, doing no damage at all.

MagiKoopa laughed at the small dinosaur’s pitiful attempts. “Do you really think you can beat an elite Team Rocket officer? I have yet to use my pokemon!” The tip of his wand protruded through the bubble and began to fire magic blasts more rapidly then before. Yami stared upward in search of anything that could help him. He then smirked as he saw something. The fourteen-year old yoshi then flung another Dark Egg towards Magi, who continued to snicker. “You really don’t give up, do you?”

“No, especially when I’m about to win!” Yoshi replied as the Dark Egg landed on the exposed area of Magi’s wand, exploding on contact. The staff slipped out of the koopa’s claws and fell to the floor as the bubble shield vanished.

MagiKoopa opened his mouth to say something, but was drowned out by the screams of GORE-ILLA and BomberMan, who fell right on MagiKoopa and squashed him against the grassy ground. GORE climbed off the two crushed Rockets and rushed off towards Yami Yoshi. Then Mecha Sonic skidded across the land and right into his two partners, sending the trio flying backwards, through the open entrance to the submarine, and into the far wall, where they sat piled atop each other.

“This can’t possibly get any worse,” Magi stated in anger.

“Please do not utter those words, we do not wish to provoke Murphy’s La-“but was cut off by BomberMan.

At that time, Bombsie felt something in his hand and wondered aloud, “Hey, what’s thi-“The alien and his partners then stared in shock as BomberMan pulled out the lit bomb.

Maybe the surplus supply of bombs and bombinators stored aboard the ship helped, but a second later the entire shuttle went up in flames. The Team Rocket Omega trio was sent flying through space and yelled, “Looks like Team Rocket Omega’s blasting off again!” before they disappeared into the horizon, appearing as a distant star.

Yami Yoshi, GORE-ILLA, and Fusion stared at the sky for a moment. Yami Yoshi turned to Fusion and apologized, “Sorry for doubting you. You can join our quest.”

“Thanks,” Fusion nodded as he reached out with both arms. A large piece of metal levitated into the air as the warrior concentrated. He then concentrated his power towards the floating wreckage, shaping it into a small boat.

“Cool!” GORE approved as the three heroes hopped into the boat. “Now we’re off to stop Lupus!” Fusion then continued concentrating and the boat speeded off across the Atlantic Ocean.

Scene Two: This guy should meet Mysterious Silhouette.

Giovanni sat at his desk nervously. His forehead was dotted with perspiration. The Italian mobster knew that He would not tolerate another failure after the Mewtwo incident. His targets had escaped, and, even worse, he had learned that the gorilla was among one of the escapees.

A red button flashed on his control panel, indicating an incoming message. He was uneasy, wondering whether he should accept or not. Finally he swallowed his heart and pressed the button.

The figure’s face appeared on the giant view screen covering the opposite world. His entire face was concealed beneath a veil. He spoke in a disgusted, yet muffled voice, “You disappoint me for the last time, Giovanni.”

“Please, sir…” Giovanni pleaded. “I need one more chance! I’ll make sure not one of the three live! I have an organization to run, a son I’ve never se-“

“No. Goodbye, fool. Your worthless life ends now.”

The figure’s veil slid off. Giovanni stared in horror at the murderer’s face. He screamed as sparks of electricity hopped around his body, growing larger and larger until he was encased completely in the power. Lightning flew across his mouth as his eyes went completely white. Finally, the electricity stopped as Giovanni lay slumped against the desk.

If anyone where to examine him, Giovanni would appear to be in perfect health if not for his blank eyes and the fact that he is no longer living.


To Be Continued in Chapter 3: “Battle in the City”. As Yami Yoshi, GORE-ILLA, and Fusion confront a con artist, Lupus faces friction with his mysterious supplier.

VGF Member OG Special Edition:
Chapter Three: “Battle in the City” by GORE-ILLA, based on chapters written by Fusion, and Yami Yoshi.

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!

VGF Member OG Special Edition:
Chapter Four: “Exodia” by GORE-ILLA, based on chapters written by Lupus.

Scene One: Hey, the villain’s dead on the fourth chapter? That sucks.

Exodia’s insane laughter echoed throughout the destroyed warehouse. Yami Yoshi, Fusion, and GORE-ILLA had watched in horror throughout the murder. Exodia turned to face the three heroes and taunted, “Now your time is come! Prepare to be smitten by the might of Exodia! I will begin by smashing your skulls together. Then I’ll kick your ribcage until it snaps like a walnut…” He continued describing his torture methods for quite some time.

Scene Two: The bar of the Afterlife. Yeah.

It was noting. A black and endless void of nothing. Lupus suddenly materialized in the middle of the nothing, a black halo floating above his head. “Un-oh, looks like I’m dead,” he commented. He continued floating for about five minutes, but it isn’t five minutes seeing it is endless time. He then added, “I’m bored.”

Suddenly Lupus saw a bar with three stools floating in front of it hovering towards him. Lupus slowly pushed himself forward until he reached the bar and seated himself in one of the stools. A bartender stood on the other side of the counter, cleaning glasses. The barman asked, “So, what can I do you for while you’re awaiting Judgment?”

Lupus confided, “Exodia betrayed me. I'm now dead.”

“That doesn't sound too bad too me. I mean, I get visitors who tell me that all the time.”

“For real?”

The barman paused and said, “No.”

“Thanks for trying to cheer me up.”

There was another pause as the two sat there for more of endless time. Then the barman broke the silence by saying, “You don't know how long I've been here. Ever since Exodia killed me back in 1867 I've been lonely.”

“Why did he kill you?” Lupus asked.

“I challenged Bob Yoshi the Moustached. Then Exodia killed me saying he had no use for me.”

“That's very scary because I challenged Yami Yoshi and Exodia killed me saying he had no use for me.”

“And…?”

“...I have reason to believe Bob Yoshi was in some way related to Yami Yoshi.”

“I don't care any more,” the barman concluded.

It was then that a man wearing a mask with a dark halo over his head approached the bar and pulled out a gun. He threatened, “Give me all your money or I'll kill you all!”

Lupus refused, “No.” A bullet pierced his heart seconds later. But, due to the improbability of dying when you're already dead, Lupus was then revived into the real world, in the middle of the same street on which he had died earlier. Lupus then raised his fist in triumph and yelled, “My plan worked! Now, to get my revenge on Exodia! BWAHAHAHAHA!! Koopa! “ as his assistant warped to Lupus’s side.

Scene Three: Back to Exodia!

In the real world, five long hours had passed. Exodia was still threatening the trio, “And then I will melt down your bones into Harwax and sell them to the masses!! MWAHAHAHA!”

Yami Yoshi asked Exodia, “Are you going to actually do it or laugh about it all day?”

Exodia stared in irritation. “You anger me. I think I'll laugh about it some more. Mwaha-“ Exodia’s last words were cut off as a green blur zipped past the stone titan from behind. The blur then skidded to a stop, revealed to be Lupus. He had his knife extended from his outstretched right arm.

Exodia stood there, frozen. A second later his head slipped off his neck, fell to the ground, and shattered. Exodia’s body exploded and scattered sharpnels of stone everywhere. “There,” Lupus relieved.

Yami Yoshi, Fusion, and GORE-ILLA stared in surprise at the Turk. “He-he’s back from the dead!: Yami Yoshi stuttered.

Lupus added, “Yes. And now I don't take orders from anybody. Hiya!” He quickly grabbed Yami Yoshi around the neck and… disappeared into nothingness! “Although that ‘nothingness’ was just a distraction while I sneak out the back door.” Of course! “Well say that next time!” Right.

GORE-ILLA and Fusion now sat there dumbfounded as Lupus took off with their supposed leader. GORE grabbed Fusion by the arm and ordered, “They’ve got Yami! We have to save him!”

Fusion pulled away. “Calm down! That Lupus is a wimp. I could beat him in my sleep!”

GORE then looked away and saw a pair of footprints leading away from the back doorway. “There, footprints! They’ll lead us to Lupus and Yami Yoshi for sure!”

And so the unwilling duo left the half-destroyed warehouse at last and began following the footprints in hopes of reaching Lupus’s hidden base. What surprises will they find in store for them? Find out in Chapter Five: “SwordMaster”

VGF Member OG Special Edition:
Chapter Five: “Raid on Lupus” by GORE-ILLA, based on chapters written by Lupus, Fusion, SwordMaster, and GORE-ILLA.

Scene One: Common Prints

When we last left our heroes, Yami Yoshi had been kidnapped by Lupus the Turk, and now only GORE-ILLA the cyborg and Fusion the godmodder to save him! Let’s see how that’s doing!

GORE-ILLA walked out the back door of the warehouse followed by Fusion. They saw a small track of footprints leading straight off the road and into a forest. GORE examined the footprint and concluded, “Yep, these footprints are definitely Lupus’s!”

Fusion inquired, “Damn, does EVERYONE around here know this guy’s prints?”

An old man treaded by, looked down at the footprints and said, “Ah, Sir Lupus. Haven’t seen him since that time back in ‘Nam.” The old man then walked away nonchalantly.

“Whatever, let’s move on,” Fusion said as he dashed off into the forest.

"Hey, wait for me!" GORE yelled as he jogged after the hothead. He then resorted ro his gorilla instincts as he jumped from treetop to treetop in pursuit of Fusion.

Scene Two: Lupus is up to something.

Elsewhere, at Lupus's EVIL Lair of clichéd doom, Lupus pulled Yami Yoshi through a corridor by his arm. He then flung the dinosaur into an open cell, which was then sealed off by iron bars. Lupus taunted, “That'll teach you for opposing my Sheiter plans!!”

Yami pleaded, “But I didn't do anything apart from wanting to make a Cheesecake!!”

Lupus shouted, “SILENCE! Now that you are imprisoned in this easily escapable prison cell, I will now turn my attention to the control panel so you can escape. So there!” Lupus then turned his attention to the control panel as promised and something on the radar caught his eye. “So it looks like some unexpected guests are approaching our forest perimeter. They will be taken care of in time.” Lupus concluded by pressing a red button.

Scene Three: Crash Course Coconut
GORE continued swinging through the forest and yelling, “Fusion! Fusion! Get over here!” GORE-ILLA was suddenly blasted back by a beam of dark energy. He looked up to see several floating probe droids with the TWIFATIT insignia on them. They immediately fired laser beams at GORE. The gorilla screamed in pain as he was torched by the multiple lasers. GORE reached around for something and found a coconut.

The five droids had now finished their first round of lasers and were now charging up another round. GORE tossed the coconut. It bounced between all the druids with the force of a hammer, demolishing all of them. GORE-ILLA then continued his search.

Scene Four: Fusion’s Confuzzlement

Fusion jetted through the forest, drawing closer and closer to the large mountain. Suddenly, something large slammed into his ribs at amazing speed. Fusion saw a giant robot facing him. It had a tv screen with Lupus’s face on it. The fiend spoke, “Hello, Fusion. How do you like my new juggernaut-class Gladiator Destruction Bot Version 5.2? Surely your nose cannot hold its capacity.” Fusion looked at the screen in confusion and recieved a powerful uppercut from the giant Gladiator.

Fusion limped back as Lupus continued, “So the sock is unable to complete its tax refund? Then it cannot operate machinery ever again.” Once again Fusion was distracted by trying to decipher Lupus’s words and got sucker punched in the face by the giant.

Fusion still looked down at the tv screen after his following macaroni speech as the juggernaut prepared its finishing attack. As it was about to complete its attack, a figure ran between the two fighters and shoved his sword into the robot’s chest, destroying the screen.

The Gladiator reeled back in pain. Fusion dashed towards it and delivered one super powered punch, causing the robot to completely explode. Fusion then looked over at the man and asked, “Who the hell are you?”

The man raised his sword in the air and announced, “Why I am…” The background became several flashing colors as a glint appeared on the man’s sword. “SwordMaster, Defender of Cheesecake!” A small fanfare played before the background returned to normal. “I wish to join you on your quest.”

“Alright,” Fusion agreed.

But before another word could be said, the gates to a small village near the mountain busted open. Exactly nine hundred and ninety-nine gorillas stampeded out to greet the intruders, stopping just before SwordMaster and Fusion.

They all had numbered nametags, and the leader’s reading “508”. Gorilla 508 challenged, “Surrender now, fools, to the Gorilla Army of Sir Lupus the Turk of theTWIFATIT or prepare for immediate destruction.”

Fusion observed, “There are ninety-nine of you, but I see one gorilla with the nametag ‘1000’. Are you missing one troop?”

508 explained, “Yes we are, the renegade 117 has regrettably-“

“-Come to stop you!” another voice cried out. The group looked up and saw GORE-ILLA hanging from a vine above them.

“YOU!” 508 yelled. “YOU DARE TO RETURN HERE? ATTACK!!”

The gorillas were about to charge forwards when GORE held up a tiny crumb. He explained “See what Lupus has hidden from you?”

The other gorillas widened their eyes and exclaimed, “CHEESE! CAN IT BE???”

508 stared in astonishment. “Lupus t-told us that all cheese-related products were stolen by Yami Yoshi’s group of dancing savages! I’m… sorry, GORE.”

508 then lunged for the cheesecake crumb, but GORE yanked it out of the way and swallowed it whole. “Apology accepted.”

Scene Five: Yami Yoshi’s Great Escape

Yami Yoshi raised his fist in anger. “I have to escape from this hell hole!” Yami then walked out of the Easily Escapable Cell and continued, “Now to get revenge on Lupus! He will pay for disrespecting a Moderator!” He continued to stride down the dark corridor, decorated with paintings of random celebrities, and finally heard loud banging coming from the front door. “The hell?” he wondered as he unbarred the door.

The large door collapsed instantly. Fusion, GORE-ILLA, SwordMaster, and the entire Gorilla Army barged through the opening holding torches and pitchforks. “What’s going on?” Yami asked.

Fusion shouted, “We're going to kill Lupus!” The rest of the group shouted their approvals.

“Cool! Let's go!”

To Be Continued in Chapter 6: “Raid on Lupus” – The group is split up as they invade Lupus’s EVIL Mountain Lair of Clichéd Doom. Will they survive? Or will they, uh, not? Find out next time! I think.

VGF Member OG Special Edition:
Chapter Five: “Raid on Lupus” by GORE-ILLA, based on chapters written by Lupus, SwordMaster, and GORE-ILLA.

Scene One: An Intricate Plot… Ruined.

Koopa ran up to his master, who was seated at the Master Control Panel, and exclaimed, “Lupus! Yami Yoshi has escaped from the Easily Escapable Prison Cell. Also, SwordMaster, Fusion, GORE-ILLA, and about 999 gorillas are heading this way.”

Lupus smirked evilly. “Good. Everything's going according to plan!”

“It is?” Koopa questioned.

“Yes! I have set up automatic trip wires to the entrance to this citadel which they will unwittingly walk through and let the clamp release the springed shaft, which will then flick up and hit the marble along the pipe which will then fall through the hole, hitting the piece of metal's container which will spring it backwards and cause and short spark which will light the candle which in turn burns through a rope that holds a cage above the doorway-“

His explanation was immediately cut off by Koopa, “Ah, I see. So you're going to cage them!”

Lupus then continued, “No, by the time the cage has fallen, they would have already moved out of the doorway and towards me. This is where the ingenious bit comes in. There is a pressure plate in the doorway which only the weight of the cage can hold down, which will then send a micro signal through the computer monitor behind me, vibrating the vertical pan and sending a single blast of water at the sleeping fatcat to my left, which will wake up and run away, releasing the shift for a trapdoor which will drop our uninvited guests into a sewer infested with ill-tempered, mutated sea bass will laser beams that I stole off the set of Austin Powers. But that's not it! The entire room below us has TRAPPED AIR! Which means it will act as a tornado, sucking everything above it into its depths! HARHAHRHAHRHShasasd.”

Koopa stared in awe. “It's... it's... INGENIOUS!”

“Thank you Koopa.”

Suddenly Bowser, King Boo, and the Haunted Union Army (comprised of three nine year olds) charge into the room. Bowser yelled out in anger, “You killed Exodia! We will now kill you!”

However, their entrance caused the trap door to open. Bowser fell to his doom, while King Boo and his army were sucked up like water in a bathtub. Lupus commented, “That was… interesting.”

Yami Yoshi and his posse charged in, totally unaffected by the already used trap, and waved their weapons around threateningly. Yami yelled out in anger, “Hand over that Cheesecake Lupus! You'll never get away with the Cheesecake Ray!”

Lupus denied, “I'm not building a Cheesecake Ray.”

“You're not?” Yami Yoshi asked as the group lowered their weapons.

Lupus then leapt up and pulled a lever as he announced, “Yes, I am!! That was just a distraction attack! Face the X-Zone, mortals!” A giant portal then opened and sucked up Yami Yoshi, Fusion, GORE-ILLA, and the Gorilla Army.

“Hey, I’m here too!” SwordMaster announced.

“Oh yeah, I forgot about you.” Lupus remembered. The X-Zone sucks up SwordMaster too.

“Hold it, hold it! You can't just claim to have forgotten about me and then assume I've been sucked up AFTER the portal has closed! It's unlawful! It's preposterous! It's... cheap!”

“What's your point?”

“I challenge you to a duel.”

“No.”

“Wuss, are you?”

“No, I'm just too lazy to bother fighting you.”

“That's it!” SwordMaster then pulled out his concealed sword and attempted to stab Lupus, but his target dodged and his sword was lodged in the Control Panel instead.

Koopa shrieked in horror and jabbered, “YOU FOOL! YOU JUST ACTIVATED SIR LUPUS' SPACE LASER PROGRAM!!”

“It’s not a big deal, Koopa,” Lupus comforted his sidekick.

“It isn’t?” Koopa said disbelievingly.

Lupus suddenly shouted out, “DAMN RIGHT IT IS!! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!! NOOOOO!!!!”

Elsewhere in space, a huge laser turned around to face earth and began to glow red, charging up energy.

Scene Two: The X-Zone

Yami Yoshi, GORE-ILLA, Fusion, and the Gorilla Army floated around in the blank void which was the X-Zone. Gorilla 508, who had returned to his usual grumpiness, yelled out, “This is all your fault, GORE!”

Suddenly, GORE-ILLA began to speak and made a long speech about the importance of friendship and teamwork which was edited out of the final cut due to length, sappiness and budget restraints. He ended the monologue with “...So you see, only teamwork can get us out of this zone.”

Fusion blew his nose loudly and asked, “Alright, so what do we do?”

Silence overtook the 1002 prisoners for several moments until Yami Yoshi suggested, “Hey, how about Fusion concentrates all his energy on Lupus’s mountain. If you focus enough power, it might inexplicably open some rip in time and space that will lead us all safely back to Lupus. And the rest of his can hold out our hands and try to give our power to Fusion to help him break it.”

And so, the group tried out Yami’s plan and in no time at all, a portal leading to Lupus’s lair opened, and dumped the large group on top of Lupus, Koopa, and SwordMaster.

“Yes, my plan worked!” Yami Yoshi cheered from beneath the mountain of gorillas.

Beneath him, Koopa revealed. “Actually, I accidentally pulled the lever while trying to disarm the laser.”

GORE-ILLA muttered, “So I assume we missed something.”

Lupus replied, “Nothing much, except that the entire world is about to be blown away by a giant laser. Although I could just press this remote control that will make the laser blow up and save the world…”

The rest of the group then yelled, “WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?! DAMN IT, MAN! PRESS THE BUTTON!!”

Lupus smirked and thought, “Ummmm....... no.”

Yami Yoshi yelled out desperately, “Why the hell not?!”

Lupus shouted dramatically as he crawled out of the mound of gorillas with Koopa, “Because if I can’t have my cheesecake, then EVERYONE IN THE WORLD MUST DIE!!!!!!!!!!”

GORE-ILLA asked, “What the hell kind of sense does that make?” as he pulled himself, SwordMaster and Yami Yoshi out of the pile. Fusion has already flown out.

“Hey, it's my evil scheme, and I like it.” Lupus replied.

SwordMaster pointed at Lupus with his outstretched blade and yelled, “GET HIM!!” SwordMaster then dashed toward Lupus, who drew his own sword. The two clashed for a few seconds before Lupus knocked SwordMaster’s sword out of his hands and kicked him away.

Yami Yoshi and GORE-ILLA charged at Lupus, but the villain activate his jetpack and flew to the ceiling while Yami and GORE smashed into the wall.

Fusion then flew up towards Lupus with his fists extended, but the Turk flew right over Fusion and blinded him with the rocket exhaust. The “Ultimate Warrior” then flew out a window and was almost scattered across a rocky shore before he regained his senses and flew back up to the shattered window.

Lupus then flew up to the ceiling, out of everyone’s reach. “Dude, that’s so cheap!” SwordMaster yelled up to the TWIFATIT Commanders.

“Shut up,” Lupus finally shouted at the whiner.

SwordMaster got real warmed up and said though gritted teeth, “You… stupid… uh… MONKEY!!” The swordsman then said to GORE-ILLA, “No offense.”

“None taken,” GORE replied.

Lupus’s voice echoed down from the ceiling, “Ha! Go ahead and call me names! You'll soon be dead! In fact, it should be in about 30 seconds.”

The computer then announced, “30 seconds until laser fire.”

“Told ya.”

SwordMaster yelled out in desperation, “We have to stop it! Everybody! Press buttons!”

SwordMaster, GORE-ILLA, Fusion, and Yami Yoshi ran up to the Master Control Panel and began pressing random buttons while the Gorilla Army tried to free themselves from the giant pile until there was a loud beep.

The computer announced, “Laser Cannon imminence activated. Time remaining: One sec-“

The laser fired and everything on the west side of the world was phased into nothingness, the continents collapsed into the sea and the sea bubbled into lava, burning everything living. However, this process took about a minute to complete, giving our heroes TIME TO ESCAPE LIKE ANY OTHER STORY!! YAY!

Scene Three: *Hums* It’s the End of Half the World as We Know it…

Lupus, Koopa, and Yami Yoshi’s group were now stuck on a small, rocky island in the middle of the Lava Sea that once was the Western Hemisphere. Lupus hopped up and down on the hot rocks, “Argh! Hot, hot hot!!!” He then flew into the air on his jetpack and continued, “If I knew the laser would only work on one side of the earth, I would never have sold its Contractor Core for a EXP Egg!”

SwordMaster yelled up to Lupus, “Lupus! You have to save us! We'll do anything!”

“Anything?”

“Anything!”

“ANYTHING?”

“Yes! Anything!” SwordMaster concluded.

Yami Yoshi muttered, “Hey, speak for yourself…”

Lupus thought hard for a moment before revealing his decision. “...Hmm... no. See yas!” He then rocketed off on his jetpack, turned around in midair, swooped back down and lifted Koopa before flying away into the sky.

“NOOOO!!!” GORE-ILLA yelled. “The Americas are gone! And so are half of Antarctica and many random islands!”

Scene Four: Commercial Break

-~WE INTERUPT THIS PROGRAM TO BRING YOU... BIGOBEER! THE BEER THAT IS BIG, AND MAKES YOU BIG!! We now return you to your normal viewing.~-

Scene Five: Great Escape the Sequel

“I can't believe we escaped that!” Yami Yoshi exclaimed.

“I thought for sure we were done for,” GORE-ILLA theorized.

“We must now build up an empire and attack Troy!” Fusion announced.

SwordMaster asked, “I'm confused. Where are we?”

Yami Yoshi recounted, “Well, that ad conveniently covered up a blank where the author had no ideas. We're now safely in Japan. Minus our entire Gorilla army. They got fried.”

“Safely?” SwordMaster questioned.

The group was immediately surrounded by soldiers. The head soldier announced, “You've been charged for littering. That's the death penalty, sirs.”

“But-“Fusion stuttered.

“ANSWERING BACK! DEATH PENALTY!”

Yami Yoshi said, “We'll come. But first you must tell us why you've changed the laws?”

The soldier commander stated proudly, “We haven't, sirs. It was our new President Lupus. Changed all the rules for the better. We all praise him! By the way- he told us to execute a group headed by OG Mod Yami Yoshi. Have you seen them?”

A large sweatdrop inexplicably rolled down Yami Yoshi’s forehead as he stuttered, “Oh boy…”

To Be Continued in Chapter Six: “Dragoshi and Introbulus” – The last two members of Yami Yoshi’s team arrive to battle Lupus in his new Japan Tower. Will they succeed? Find out!

VGF Member OG Special Edition:
Chapter Seven: “Black Skull Dragoshi” by GORE-ILLA, based on chapters written by BSD, Lupus, Yami Yoshi, and GORE-ILLA.

Scene One: Enter BSD

Japan. Once one of the world’s greatest economic centers and makers of really cool games. Now it is nothing more then a wasteland, aided by the cruel dictator Lupus’s new laws and lots of other evil stuff.

That is what Yami Yoshi, GORE-ILLA, Fusion, and SwordMaster discover as they’re cornered by a squad of Japanese soldiers after their escape from the now demolished Western Hemisphere.

Suddenly, a shrill yoshi-like cry is heard from above. Something swoops down across the night sky and rockets toward the group of soldiers interrogating the foursome. The creature had large, purple, dragon like wings with long, sharp claws which resembled large razor. As he swooped down, his claw darted through one soldier’s heart. He then flung the dead man to the side like a rag doll, knocking three other soldiers over. The creature then pulled out a long sword which glowed with the colors of the rainbow and impaled several more of the confused troops on it.

The soldier’s commander gave a signal. He and his men fled into a dark alley, to be seen again the next day by shoe salesmen around the world.

The creature then turned his attention to Yami Yoshi and his group. Like Yami, he was a black yoshi. The difference, however, lied not only in his claws and wings but also in his messy red hair and brown eye. The yoshi sheathed his sword and introduced, “I am Black Skull Dragoshi, but you can call me BSD. Who may I ask are you?”

Yami Yoshi stared defiantly at the new yoshi and flashed a badge. “I am Yami Yoshi, Moderator of the OnGoing Story Board, and these are my accomplices Fusion, GORE-ILLA, and SwordMaster. I’m here pursuing a villain known as Sir Lupus the Turk for countless crimes he has committed.”

At the mention of Lupus, BSD gritted his teeth in anger. “Lupus! That retard took over Japan and HE MAKES ME ANGRY!” BSD yelled as he punched a stone statue of the Turk in anger, only to pull back his bruised knuckles in pain. The statue was unaffected.

Yami Yoshi asked, “D’ya know where he is?”

BSD nodded eagerly, “Oh of course, he’s in that sushi store right behind you!”

Scene Two: Sushi Showdown

Lupus and Koopa sat at stools along the sushi store’s counter. Lupus then sighed, “Sushi sure is great on a hard day, ain't it Koopa?”

Koopa shook his head. “I've never tried any.”

“Have some. It's on me.”

“I'd rather not-“

Yami Yoshi, Fusion, SwordMaster, GORE-ILLA, and BSD suddenly barged in. Yami Yoshi yelled, “Lupus! Hold it right there!”

Lupus spun around in his stool to face the group and held up a plate as he offered, “Just in time! Want some sushi?”

Fusion raised his fist and threatened, “I want your head on a platter!”

“I don't think this shop stocks that...”

The shopkeeper then popped up from behind the counter and chimed, “We do, actually!”

Lupus smirked, “Well, you're in luck, Fusion!”

Fusion yelled in anger, “Stop mocking me!”

“Mocking? Wha...?”

Before Lupus could get his answer, the entire sushi store caved in as a loud rumbling was heard throughout the area.

“Argh!” SwordMaster yelled. “What's going on?!?!”

BSD then filled in, “I forgot to mention. I was summoning energy as we were talking and a huge being known only as THE MAN will soon appear and crush Lupus beneath his feet.”

Lupus shrugged, “Ah, I'm not worried.” A hundred-foot tall giant then walked up to the ruins of the sushi store and raised his foot to crush Lupus. Lupus whispered to his partner, “Koopa, use the 1337 Look Alike while I warp away.”

“Yes sir” Koopa bowed.

THE MAN then stomped down hard on top of Lupus, splattering him into the ground.

Koopa yelled, “You killed Lupus!” as BSD laughed triumphantly.

Several spotlights then shone on the group. The Japanese army surrounded them from all sides, and the Commander watched sternly from his high-tech tank. The Commander announced, “Killing President Lupus is punishable by death!”

Koopa rallied, “Get them, men!” The soldiers rallied up Yami Yoshi, GORE-ILLA, BSD, SwordMaster, and Fusion after a brief struggle while about fifty soldiers used grappling hooks to pull THE MAN to the ground and drag him along attached to horses, down to the jail. “Good job, Commander Shogun,” Koopa added as Shogun saluted.

Scene Three: Back with Real Lupus…

Lupus’s New Tokyo Tower of Rulation loomed threateningly over the once proud metropolis.

In one of the highest levels of the tower, Lupus and Koopa plotted their next move. Lupus grinned from his fancy chair and announced, “The fake did the trick! Now they will be destroyed!”

“How did I get here so fast?” Koopa asked.

Lupus dismissed the matter, “No time to worry about plot holes, Koopa. There's work to be done. I must begin creating a Super-Hydro-Type Laser so I can open the Shrine of Burathiis Murphoest and recover the Crystal of Burathiis so I can access the Forbidden Citadel of Armikk-Rulens and summon Qwirtzok from his evil doom hatred land with Alex Chiu!!”

“Uh, what?”

“You heard me. Go down to Wal Mart and get some bolts. We must begin the laser at once!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!”

Scene Four: Japan Jailbreak

Yami Yoshi, GORE-ILLA, Fusion, BSD, and SwordMaster wound up in a Japanese prison of some sort. Yami scoffed, “Great. Now we're in jail. What ever happened to fair trials?”

SwordMaster waved his hand before Yami’s eyes. “Hello? We're in Japan!”

“Oh yeah.”

Fusion paced across the floor, rubbing his chin. “How are we going to get outta here?”

GORE-ILLA, who appeared to have been restraining his anger for some time, finally caved in. He jumped to his feet and yelled, “This is really pissing me off!” GORE punched the wall, but his fist tore right through it. The entire wall immediately collapsed.

“The hell?” Yami Yoshi remarked.

SwordMaster smacked his head in realization. “Oh yeah! These prison walls are made out of paper! Let's hurry up and get outta here!”

And so a massive jailbreak began as the OGers freed all the other prisoners to distract the Japanese army while the group chased after Lupus.

Scene Five: Search For Lupus’s Tower

And so Yami, GORE-ILLA, Fusion, BSD, and SwordMaster ran through the streets. Yami declared, “Now to kill Lupus, get my cheesecake back, and seek revenge on the Japanese government!”

BSD assured, “THE MAN should take care of that!” as the freed giant followed the group, crushing buildings while prisoners caused havoc throughout the city.

There progress was blocked, however, by a squad of approaching tanks. Commander Shogun piloted the head tank and shouted orders to his subordinates in Japanese.

Fusion released a giant blast of energy which tore a row of tanks into pieces. The others leapt from tank to tank – GORE ripping vehicles apart with his bare hand while Yami Yoshi planted Dark Eggs in open tank hatches, SwordMaster impaled soldiers on his blade, and BSD used his claws to tear vital circuitry out of the all-terrain vehicles. Soon, only the Commander’s tank remained.

Commander Shogun pressed a button on the control panel of his tank. It then grew larger and its armor changed to silver while two hand-like drills sprouted from the sides of the lower half while the nose cannon grew o the upper half and Shogun was surrounded by a plastic bubble. The tank’s nose cannon fired a giant ball of blue electricity at the OGers.

Thinking quickly, SwordMaster and BSD rolled into balls with their swords extending outward. GORE, Fusion, and Yami picked up the two balls and flung them into the air. The spinning duo’s swords hit the ball and deflected it back at the tank.

The top half of the tank was incinerated by the blast. But the plastic dome containing Shogun survived and united with the lower half of the giant tank. The heroes then ran around to avoid being crushed by the drill-like arms.

GORE-ILLA and Fusion rose to the occasion, grabbing the drill hands, yanking them off, and then flinging them at the tank. It exploded.

However, the plastic dome containing Shogun rose from the smoke, propelled by jet engines. He yelled out, “You cannot keep up with the rocket which I am piloting!!! Can you see that I am serious?!” Shogun’s mouth continued moving after he was done talking. His craft then rocketed off. Yami Yoshi produced a Dark Egg and flung it at the dome. The engine exploded on contact with Shogun’s vehicle.

Commander Shogun weakly crawled out from the burning wreckage and ran away. Yami and the others looked at each other, shrugged, and began walking in the opposite direction.

After a while with no sight of the tower, GORE growled angrily, “Where the hell is Lupus’s Tower?”

Yami Yoshi pointed at a sign and said aloud, “Hey, Look at this conveniently placed map!”

Fusion stepped up and examined the map. It had a dot reading, ‘you are here’ next to a dot reading, ‘Lupus is here’. Fusion wondered, “What?” then he looked up and saw Lupus’s New Tokyo Tower looming above him. “Oh.”

Black Skull Dragoshi boasted, “Now let’s storm that tower…. But first let me call some friends.” He roared loudly. Instead of THE MAN, three kids who bare astonishing resemblances to retarded versions of the lead characters of cartoon show “Ed, Edd, N Eddy”.

Suddenly, a loud voice screaming, “TENCHI!!!” was heard as a girl dressed in amine type clothing leaped down.

“Now who are you?” SwordMaster asked.

“I am Yasha and Lupus has forbidden my favorite show starring Tenchi to be cancelled!!” She then saw the Eds standing next to Fusion and got the wrong idea. “American cartoons are inferior! TENCHI!!!” She then beat the crap out of Fusion and ran off.

GORE shrugged, “Okay, let’s just storm the tower.”

To Be Continued in Chapter 8: “The Last of the Six” – the heroes storm Lupus’s tower and meet the last member of their group, the master of metal.

OoC: Next chapters will come later, I have them saved elsewhere.

[Black Skull Dragoshi]

Man,that's awesome! You should write novels,GORE!

[Yami Yoshi]

Amazing how you were able to turn VGF Member OG...into THIS...

...excellent work, GORE. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You're pretty good, you're adding new thing, explaining stuff, and keeping the original plot of the whole thing.
You are GOOD
