Mario and Luigi: Brothers in Equestria

Fluttershy kept watching the slow moving carriage until it disappeared from sight. New animals that were just like us ponies? That was definitely an interesting thought! Fluttershy rubbed her ever aching head. She had gotten up later then everypony else. Twilight and Rainbow Dash were trying their hardest to get Rarity from out of somepony else's home. Fluttershy wanted to help but she looked up and saw the that the sun was in the middle of the sky. That meant that time was passing! She couldn't let her poor animals starve! She needed to get back! Fluttershy began galloping home, accidentally bumping into a few ponies who decided to come back after the carnage of Discord. She said sorry, but they didn't seem to feel or hear anything Fluttershy said.

She reached home, and all of the animals greeted her lovingly... All except one.

It was an egg, so obviously it wouldn't be able to see its caretaker at all, but it still moved around every now and then. It was a white egg, with big, circular specks of green on it. Fluttershy walked over and tapped on the egg. It's been in there for about two months, or at least as long as Fluttershy had been counting. She found it about two months and a half ago, and she was still waiting for it to hatch. It had to eventually, right?

Fluttershy sighed as she began to wonder what was inside this egg. It obviously wasn't a chicken, and it didn't look like it came from a bird. But the possibilities were endless. Fluttershy could take all day to wonder about that little egg, but she had work to do. Animals to feed and to keep happy. She went inside and began taking out whatever food she needed for whatever animal that ate it and began feeding the animals one by one giving them all their fair share of food. And then suddenly...

Crack!

Fluttershy looked to the squirrles, who were not eating anything at the time. Then Fluttershy looked to the chicken pens. No new chicks were coming out, and then Fluttershy looked to the mysterious egg that she had examined before. There was a large crack from the shaking egg. The crack began to get larger, making an audible sound every time the shell got weaker, and then suddenly, out popped out a green little dinosaur. It had the weirdest of faces. It had big, rounded cheeks and an even bigger rounded nose!

It got the weirdest of looks from all the animals as it slowly rocked itself in its egg shell. It didn't really seem to care about that as it just looked around, before giving all the other animals a look of confusion.

Not a single soul of another Yoshi in sight. Yoshi jumped out of his shell and began to take in his surroundings. Animals of all kinds looked at him strangely. He saw bears, he saw squirrels, he even saw a bunny raving at him! (Well,shaking his fist at him really.) Yoshi smiled as it saw a vibrant color, about the same color as a different kind of yoshi. But its smile went down as it saw it was only a pony. It's pink hair kinda ruined it. Yoshi sat down as it looked around for something to eat...and then...

His target was acquired.

There, hanging outside of Fluttershy's window, hung a huge, ripe watermelon! Yoshi hopped on a table, getting excited for its first meal since leaving its egg. Its tongue, like a chameleon's, proppelled itself out the window and stuck to the watermelon, and then quickly retracted back into Yoshi's extremely swollen mouth. It gulped down its food without a single bite and stuck its tongue out for it to dangle a bit, rubbing his now full stomach. The animals all stared at him in shock and awe, but Fluttershy was the only one to go over to examine it him closer.

This green thing was definitely new! It had a long tongue, so it had to be a lizard, obviously. Maybe a descendant of the chameleon family? It was green, so it had to be! Fluttershy picked it up and put it down on the ground for it to wander a bit. It walked on two legs, and knew how to fly for a moment in the air. All the animals didn't want to be near Yoshi though. If it can fit a large watermelon in its mouth, then who knew what else could fit in there!

Of course, seconds later, Yoshi began eating again. It began mass eating to the point where it was moved outside to get fruits for its own. Every animal that passed by Yoshi were scared of being gulped up into nothing. With the way it was eating, there was absolutely no telling how good of a stomach this thing had!

But, to this odd strange of events, a new event came up. There was a knock on the door, and Yoshi was in a tree, eating an apple he found, so he didn't see the two koopa assassins that were there. One was clad in strong, spiked armor, the other one was wearing some kind of white cloak and hood, with the hood covering his eyes.

The armored koopa looked to his friend. "Are you serious about that costume?" He asked. "Hey bro, did I question you when you wanted to dress up as Mario?" His friend snapped back. The armored koopa only sighed as he waited at the door. "It does look good on me, you gotta admit!" He said, only receiving a smack on the face. "Oh shut it!"

Fluttershy walked over to the door, and gasped at the two. "Oh my!" She said, looking at the steel koopa in fright. He took his spear and poked fluttershy back with it. She gulped as she backed away from the menacing figure and his not-so-menacing companion. "W-W-Why are you h-here?" She couldn't help but ask.

"We're here to get rid of those who would slow the progress of your new king, King Bowser." He stated in an official voice. His friend nodded as he took out two knives from the sleeves of his...um....Red lined bathrobe?

Fluttershy gulped, as she eyed to her little creatures and almost pleaded for them to run. And they were already a step ahead of them...all except Yoshi, who was watching from the branch near the window. He was utterly confused, but he smelled trouble, and that was exactly what was going on.

Yoshi quickly fluttered from his perch and infront of the door, as he tried to open it, but it was locked. Darn, they must have blocked it.

The armored koopa held his spear up high. "Upon your wanted execution to be as painless as possible, we'll try to make it quick...." He said, and threw it. Fluttershy closed her eyes, and waited for what seemed like the inevitable, but it never came.

Yoshi had slung his tongue from the window, and ripped the spear from midair, dropping it before it went through the window. Yoshi jumped in, and got in a slightly menacing fighting stance. The two koopas looked at eachother, as the robed one tossed his extra knife to his friend. They then began assaulting the little green Yoshi, but the Yoshi managed to slip away from under them. They looked around, then looked behind them, and saw a little yellow feather under the little Yoshi, who now had a very enlarged mouth, which was being kicked from the inside. Yoshi blinked at the two trespassers, and they charged forwards.

Yoshi flutter jumped his way out the window, with the robed one jumping out after him and swinging on a tree, as Yoshi began making his escape.The armored one just simply used the door and began his chase on foot, his knife held up over his head as he yelled commands of 'Heel' 'Yield' and 'For the love of Peach, STOP RUNNING!', but Yoshi didn't abide by that at all.

After a very long while of chasing, the two finally gave up, and sighed. Yoshi had finally escaped.... Yoshi spat out Fluttershy from his mouth, who was now shivering from the cold saliva covering her coat from head to hooves. He mane drooped down over both her eyes, and was now tangled in many directions. She moved her mane from her eyes, which were wide with surprise, and looked at her unlikely hero, who was looking at a strange picture on a tree.

It was Mario and Luigi, or at least, a small painting of them. They looked hideous, but that was just Bowser being a jerk about it. Yoshi took the painting and showed it to Fluttershy. He pointed to the two, so that Fluttershy could see them. On the painting were words. "To be executed at Canterlot" Fluttershy looked at the painting, then at Yoshi, who was shaking his head, and looking to Fluttershy pleadingly. Fluttershy scratched her head, as this was very rare for Celestia herself to make executions...and whoever this 'King Bowser' was, must be somepony trying to take Celestia off of her throne...

And as much as she hated to say it, she was probably the only one who could help, and she had to help this little Yoshi, since it did just save her life...

=Canterlot Dungeon=

Mario and Luigi continued to throw rotten mushrooms at eachother, playing catch with them. They had nothing better to do, since they were stuck in this darn cage and all. Mario sighed, as he caught the shroom and pocketed it. "Mama mia..." He said, kicking his feet about the chair he was sitting in, across from the bed that Luigi was sitting in. Luigi protested with Mario, but shortly gave up, with a sigh and he looked at the bars. Luigi got up with a cup, and began running a cup he found across it, making an obnoxious sound with it. A guard came up, and glared at him, causing Luigi to stop, with a little sheepish grin. Then he stopped, and thought for a second. He just came up with an idea.

Luigi looked slyly at the guard as it turned his back, and he began making noise again. The guard looked back at Luigi with a stern face, but soon dropped it, as he saw that he was gone! He quickly and hastily unlocked the cage, causing Mario to look everywhere, and saw that Luigi had found a way to cling onto the ceiling. Mario looked at the guard, who began asking questions quickly, but Mario only shrugged. Then, the cell door slammed behind them. Mario looked to see Luigi on the other side. The guard quickly ran over and tried to open the door, but failed, as Luigi had locked it. He put the key in his hat, and looked to Mario, with a shrug. Mario groaned in anger, seeing that Luigi only had a plan to get himself out, but he sighed, and hung his head low.

On the bright side, at least Mario just had to wait for Luigi to find a way out for Mario. Mario took a seat down, and the guard was still trying to bust out. Another bright side, Mario wasn't alone in the cell, even if it was a guard keeping him company!

Luigi quickly began making a run for it, holding onto his cap as he made his way to the exit, grabbing onto his hammer on the table nearby, which was taken from him for obvious reasons, and continued running. He smashed his way out of the large group of guards that began to charge at him with all types of weaponry. Luigi began to leak large amounts of tears, which came out like a fountain behind him as he flailed about in fear. It was a miracle he made it out of the castle with his mustache intact! (And dry!)

But escaping was only the first challenge.... Nighttime was soon to roll out, and Luigi could see...something familiar....looming over the distance, but it was way too far away for him to tell, so far, it was like a little green dot.... So he just kept running, until he escaped into the Everfree forest...
