Gathering the Universe

Twilight's Group

"Darling, we've been walking for a long time now"

"No we haven't, we've only been walking for about 10 minutes. And I still want to know about that scroll we got back there" Twilight said continuing on.

Soon, the three of them came across another town, but this one wasn't filled with toad. This one had Dinosaurs all over the place.

"Ooooooo... What are these?" Pinkie exclaimed.

The dinosaurs were talking to each other but Pinkie, Twilight, or Rarity couldn't figure out a single word they were saying... Except for "Yoshi". They then continued one but was stopped by a single green "Yoshi".

"Oh uh... hi there, I'm uh... Twilight Sparkle" They were both trading gazes.

"Yoshi, Yoshi" It keep saying.

"Uh, Twilight dear, I don't think talking to it will be much help," Rarity said looking at the green dinosaur. "Pinkie dear, can you understand them?"

"Who do you think I am? A translator?" Then Pinkie was stopped by the yoshi in front of them.

"Yoshi, yoshi, yoshi," As the dinosaur started to jump.

"He said his name in Yoshi" Pinkie says

"Okay, so he says his name, but is that all?" Twilight asks and the Yoshi nods his head.

"Is there something you want them Darling?" Rarity asked

The Yoshi nods his head and says Yoshi again.

"Okay... we really need a way to figure out what he's saying" Twilight said out loud and then went into thought

"Yeah, because I'm not always going to translate for you" Pinkie said. Then Twilight looked towards Pinkie.

"Wait... you can actually understand them somehow?" Twilight was very curious as to why... maybe she thought it could help her and Rarity understand them.

"Yeah, That's how I could tell his name... I think" Pinkie said... wondering a bit more as she finished that statement.

"Twilight Dear... Couldn't you just use your magic to translate it?" Rarity gave out the idea.

"I thought of it, but I don't know if my magic will work or not," Twilight said back

"You never know until you try it out, Twilight dear"

Then Twilight tried to use her magic and her horn started to glow. Amazed, the yoshi looked at her wondering what was going on. Shortly after that, Twilight's horn stopped and looked up at the yoshi. "There... That should work."

"Yoshi Yoshi" The yoshi started jumping up and down in amazement.

"It was nothing..." Twilight's voice trailed off as she said that.

"You did it Twilight... It works" Pinkie said all excited

"Great Darling, Now we can understand what he wants"

The Yoshi looks around, then asks what they are and where are they heading. Twilight explained what was going on, and a little bit after, the yoshi asks if he may come along, and told them that he knows Mario and them. Twilight looks at the other two, then decides that he may.

"At least we have someone who knows this place well" Rarity said

"That's why I said yes, because he may know more then us. However... this scroll still makes me wonder"

The yoshi looked over at it. "Yoshi? Yoshi"

"Oh darn, So you don't huh?" Rarity sounded a bit sad.

Then they arrive at an open field of pipes. Varying in color.

"So this is the pipe field?" Twilight looked around to see only pipes.

"They look interesting, but kinda ugly with some of these colors" Rarity said.

Soon, however, one pipe shot fire out and everyone jumped back. Then... the pipe stopped.

"W-What was that for?" Twilight asked in a surprised voice.

The yoshi looked at Twilight to tell that these pipes connect the whole mushroom kingdom, even Bowser's Castle.

"That'll be a nice shortcut for later. but isn't Mario going through there?" Rarity asked

"We'll just continue forward for now, and get any answers, including this scroll," Twilight said and continued on, followed by everyone else.

In Bowser's Castle

"Bwahahahaha, Did you think you could get me so easily? The Princess is staying with me... and you all will stay locked up. Bwahahahaha" Bowser's laugh echoed as he stomped out of the room.

"You guys didn't really think this through, did ya?" Rainbow sassed them

"H-Hey... you got caught too, ya know... Besides, Scootaloo is worried for you and the Princess is captured" Techno said... With a little bit of sadness in his voice.

"Squirt is worried for me?"

"Ya... A-and she's beaten up too" Fluttershy tried to say.

"What do you mean?"

"She ran at Bowser... and got hit... hard in the face" Techno said

"That stupid... What's happening with her?"

"She's being taken care of by Toads and Groove" Applebloom said

Rainbow Dash then laid back in her cell again just like everyone else. As silence filled the room.
