Mario and Luigi: Brothers in Equestria
Chapter 4: Rescue Mission Gone Right
Previous ChapterNext ChapterFluttershy followed the little Yoshi around, step by step. She wasn't sure where it was headed, but whenever it got places she didn't she was wondering just how old she was, or how talented this little green lizard was. It ended up just carrying her on it's back. She would have wondered why in all of Equestria would this one little beast be able to carry a pony like her. She was wondering if the little thing was struggling under her, but it didn't seem to miss a single beat in any of its steps, jumps, and eating breaks. Just when she was her mind competed on wondering where all the animals had gone, or debating on if she really had to eat all that hay for breakfast, they finally reached a destination.
There, in the middle of a open space, surrounded by trees, was a big, green pipe. Where in Tartarus did THAT come from?!
Apparently there was no time to explain for this little Yoshi. It was strange for this one little Yoshi to possess all this knowledge at such a young age. Maybe when it's hatched, it counts as a teenager? These were questions that Fluttershy would have to research answers out of later. Right now, she was wondering where the pipe was taking her this moment as Yoshi and jumped into it. The pipe seemed to endlessly span for miles, until there was light and Yoshi and Fluttershy were now at the end of the 'joy' ride, and landed smack dab, straight in the middle of a jail cell. It was a dark and gloomy place, but then, the two began to hear the metal of armor clanking on the cold, dark gray stone.
This made both Yoshi and Fluttershy clutter and scrambled their way under something. Fluttershy under a chair and Yoshi behind the bed, they managed to remain undetected as the two guards made their way down the hall.
"So, when do you think bowser is gonna pay me...?" Said a guard to his companion, who only shrugged. The two that walked down the hall was a Koopa and a Goomba. They both were clad in armor, which protected most of their body, and behind them they dragged along Twilight from their recent mission. She was unconscious, of course, to reduce risk of escape to 0%. Fluttershy let out a silent gasp as she saw her friend get dragged down the hall. Where in all of Equestria could our heroine and her...Green lizard-ish mount...possibly be in? The two guards stopped infront of a big door at the end of the hall, and saluted as they were greeted by another guard.
The guard nodded and let the two inside straight away, not even glancing to their newest victim. Fluttershy gave a worried look to Yoshi, who was looking in through a hole at his side of the room. Fluttershy looked out the cell, then back to Yoshi, and slowly made her way there. When she made it there, silently, but quickly, she tried to peek through the hole. There, she saw a white pony in armor, catching something with his horn, then grudgingly clapping in mild amusement and hatered. She tried to look around, but she only got a glimpse of what she thought was some kind of red hat. She was forced out of watching by the loud creaking of the opening cage. Fluttershy reluctantly looked back to see her friend, bruised all over, get thrown into the cell. "Leave her for King Bowser, and we'll interrogate her on the wereabouts of the others later..." A guard said, as he closed the cell door, and made his way towards the Exit, his goomba friend keeping guard outside. Fluttershy quickly made her way over to aid Twilight, fearful for the worst.
Thankfully, it wasn't.
Twilight coughed her way back into existence, groaning in pain as she did so. The guard barely threw a second glance back at her. His disrespect for others except his own kind was harder to see then a big Goomba covered in armor, with a large spear being held by his side by some unknown force....Hey, wait a minute....
Twilight coughed again, as her vision came back to sight, and she nearly jumped through the ceiling. "F-Fluttershy?!" She said, in a hushed and dry voice. "What are you doing here?!" She couldn't help but ask. Fluttershy nodded her head to the little Yoshi, who was idly rocking himself on his legs back and forth. Twilight was almost wide-eyed in excitement, confusion, and awe over how cute this little thing was, and how it knew where to go to get here. It looked at Twilight, and walked over to greet her, with a little roll of it's tongue in it's mouth, making a sound which was probably Yoshi for "Hello".
Twilight Shakily stood up, her knees wobbling as she looked at the Yoshi in fascination. "Wow! I haven't seen anything like it!" She marveled, looking the animal up and down, before her legs gave way and forced all of her legs onto their knees. The Yoshi was obviously very concerned, and quickly looked around Twilight for anything that seemed like it was fatal, and thankfully, nothing was. Fluttershy double checked on that as well, so they were both certain. The Goomba, who was having a short nap, quickly looked back and saw Fluttershy and the Yoshi almost instantaneously. He quickly fumbled around for his keys, which he left right by him. He took it by the mouth and jumped at the lock, putting the key inside it. This made a lot of noise, and began to cause panic within the two ponies. The goomba picked up his spear and aimed it, before being gulped up by the Yoshi, and being swallowed. His belly lumped with the now defeated goomba. Fluttershy and Twilight looked at eachother, then to the now opened exit.
Twilight tried to get up, as Fluttershy began making her way towards the exit, but she failed. Yoshi was quick to notice, and he quickly threw her on his back. She would have protested, if she weren't interrupted by the sudden yelling of guards running down from the main room, and the loud thumping of the ground. Yoshi quickly began running, Twilight hanging on tightly to the little green Yoshi's small neck as she tried her best not to fall off.
Mario looked out from his cell and saw the large mob of koopas, which some managed to bump into Mario's cell, taking the door down with them. Mario and the royal guard quickly began running to see what the commotion was about. They were both unnoticed by the very distracted crowd, and although the royal canterlot guard tried to stop Mario, he was already between a large mob of goombas and koopas alike, and the guard was unable to catch up with Mario now. Mario was finally able to make his escape now, and all he had to do was look for his brother, and find a way out of this world and back in his bed. He was going to need a LOOOOOOONG nap...

Rarity kept hard at work on her newest dress, which was featuring lots of pink, and a little blue jewel at the chest area. She sighed, wiping off whatever sweat had accumulated on her forehead. Finally, the dress was complete! Much and much hard work was placed into this dress! And it only took twelve long months, without breaks! She sighed, as she went to go and lock up for the day, before getting a knock at the door. She was just about to lock it, so she just moved her hoof to the handle, and opened the door. "Hello, but we're closed right now darling, you'll have to come back tommo-" She was greeted 'very politely' by the sharp end of a spear, held by a koopa troopa. "-row...?" She finished her sentence, and gulped as she began backing away, the koopa following her every step.
"Sorry miss..." he said, slowly and menacingly rearing the spear back, ready to skewer the unfortunate pony. She gulped, as she averted her eyes from what seemed like fate itself, before there was a very large WHACK! Then there was a thud, and a 'yahoo' from a certain green-capped brother with a hammer in his gloved his hands. Rarity looked to her savior in green, and was almost shocked at his wear. "Plumber clothes?! What kind of hero are you?!" Rarity objected...Or, she would have, if his body didn't fit so perfect with it, especially the moustache and the big rounded nose. That seemed like a very interesting and smooth moustache, and the nose just looked natural for the man in green. She coughed, and got the attention of her hero.
"Thank you darling, but I really didn't need it..." She said, which only made Luigi roll his eyes in a 'whatever' kind of sense...Rarity was going to compliment on the wonderful fabric in which his overalls were made out of and the wonderful design of his socks which peeked out from the bottom of his wonderful overalls, before more guards popped in through the door. Luigi was quick to act as he readied his hammer....and then rushed in King Bowser himself....
