Good or Evil?

[Katrina]

Cool! Keep it up!

[Leoshi]

Thanks everyone, and now without further ado:

------------------------------------------------------------------

"Uh, I don't have any more time for this." Ansem said. "I did what I needed to do here."

"What are you talking about?" Yoshee asked. Champ and Charon, who all this time had been clamped in her arms, both looked in separate directions.

"All I had to was make sure that glider didn't leave the island. With it crashed, and your two friends done in as a bonus, I'm done here."

"Wait, the battle isn't over!" Moshi shouted.

"Yeah, don't wuss out of it!" Yin shouted, rushing toward Ansem and what remained of this man's armies.

"Klob-ombs, disperse!" Ansem shouted, gesturing to the edge of the runway. he and his troops immediately took off.

"What did I say?" Moshi asked. "The battle isn't over!"

Yin, Moshi, and Yoshee simultaneously charged right toward Ansem. They watched as his troops all one-by-one jumped over the side of the cliff.

Ansem looked back with an evil smile. "Until we meet again."

Yin, being the faster of his chasers, reached him first, but he merely leaned over and let himself fall. She looked over the side of the cliff, but there was nobody there to look back.

"...whoa, how did he do that?" Yin asked.

"Who cares, now what do we do?" Yoshee asked.

"No plane, and no way down." Moshi said. "...well, let's wait for the rest of the group to try to bust us out of this place."

------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh... where am I?" Leoshi asked. He had fallen somewhere he hadn't seen in a while. He was now in the cellar of the old building. Leoshi always thought this was the worst room in the building. There was no lights or windows. The criminal used this place as a dungeon. On occasion, if Leo made a series of mistakes, he would have been sent down here for a couple days.

Leoshi instantly knew he had to get out.

"...got you at last." an evil voice said.

Leoshi sprung up. There, towering before the child Yoshi was the principal, Demon, and Dark Leoshi.

Leo gasped and took a step back. "...no..."

"Heh, we finally got this kid!" the principal exclaimed. He rushed toward Leoshi and grabbed him by his shoe. The little Yoshi was held upside down as they continued to laugh.

"There's talk that this is the wielder of the book. I have seen his powers personally." Demon said. "...but now look at him. He's so young and helpless... is there a point in even fighting this kid?"

"Who said anything about a fight?" Dark Leoshi asked. "We got what we need and don't need him anymore. Let's get out of here."

"Wait, hold on." the Principal said. "What about this kid's team upstairs? Shouldn't we stick it to them?"

"No need to worry about that." Dark Leoshi said. He reached down, and set a small box on the cellar floor near a support beam.

"what's that?" Demon asked.

"It's an explosive." Dark Leo said. "Crude, but it will do the job. I'll detonate it when we get outside, and blow this place to oblivion."

"Ah, excellent idea!" the principal said. He was still holding the little Yoshi, who was not trying to break free.

"...wait, you plan to blow this place up?" Demon asked.

"Of course, are you deaf?" Dark Leo asked.

"No, I heard you loud and clear." Demon said. He have a quick brush of his hair. "...still, I don't think it's wise to do that."

Both the principal and Dark Leo frowned. "....."

"Ha... good one." Dark Leoshi said. "For a second, I could have sworn you had defied me."

Demon looked back at Leoshi and gave a frown. "...no, of course not. You're right, we better get out of here now."

"Now that's the way, you Demon." the principal said. "Say goodbye to your friends, Leoshi."

---------------------------------------------------------

"Here, I think I found something!" Teo shouted. He led the rest of his group into a smaller chamber in the house. There, was an old metal desk with a treasure chest on it.

"Jackpot!" Yoshifrog exclaimed, exchanging a quick high-five with Yoshiko.

Yoshiken was the one who walked toward the chest first, the others follows. The red Yoshi slowly opened the top and saw what appeared to be nothing but a simple sheet of paper.

He took it out and saw it under the moonlight. "...hm..."

"Aw, no treasure?" Lava asked.

"Wait." Eloeem said. He glanced over at the sheet. "...it's a drawing. And it looks like blueprints for something."

Yapi held out a hand, and Yoshiken gave her the paper. She looked at some small text at the bottom of the page.

"Look here." She said. "It says, The Gem of Airway Isle grants any craft the ability to fly. Though it is now encased within a statue of a Yoshi's head, if that statue and wings were to be built into any craft, it would grant it the ability of flight."

"...no way." Yapi finished.

"That's the key to getting off this island! And all this time, Ambioshi is the one who had it!" Yoshiken said.

"It's got to be that statue she has on her roof." Yoshiko said. "She's got that Yoshi head statue. We got to ask her for it. Then we can go into the sky!"

Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound. Everyone looked to and fro.

"The Building's shaking!!" Yoshifrog shouted in distress.

"Everyone get out of here!" Yoshiko shouted. "She's gonna blow!!"

--------------------------------------------------

That's it for now. The conclusion of the arc is coming soon

[UMS Author Lava]

WHY THOSE ****ERS!!!!
...oh, sorry...
Anyways, go get 'em! We don't need these baddies being so invincible all the time!

[yoshark777]

Oooh! I'm so late! Awesome suspenseful chapter!

[Lord of the Dance]

Sweet, stuff is going to blow up.
The conclusion? ...So soon?
Keep it up, Leo! Remember, take your time if you need to.

[Teo]

I don't know how this is anywhere close to the end of an arc, but of course, I don't know what's going to happen.

It's great that this story is back on its feet (for the moment), I don't know what I would think if we were all left in there, stranded in the 'To be continued' dimension.

At least now we know we're gonna blow up and be reduced to smithereens instead of having internal organs ripped out and fed to something, I can let my mind rest

[Yoshiken]

Gasp! what is this! a bomb!? Ill defeat those villains all on my own if I have too! Cant wait for the conclusion of the arc!

[UMS Author Lava]

Seriously, if the principal was in my reach, I'd lop off that replacement arm.

[Leoshi]

Alright, a bit a delayed, but I got my next piece up!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

“That no good rat!” Lava shouted. “Those jerks are really going to pay when we find them!”

By now, the entire decaying structure of the entire old mansion was coming down. The groups gave a few shouts out of statement.

“We got to get out of here now!” Yoshiko exclaimed.

“No prob!” Yoshiken shouted back. He pointed at a nearby wall with his katana. Then, charging at it, he slashed at it. A huge hole appeared, leading outside into the night sky. A that moment, they were about two stories off the ground.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

“This kid is finally going to pay!” the principal shouted as he ran in the lead, carrying the child yoshi with him.

“Oh, that is quite the understatement.” Dark Leoshi said. “…you two should see the plans I have in store for him.”

They finally stopped running after they reached the shores of the island. The principal reached into the pocket of Leoshi’s backpack and revealed the spell book.

“I shall take that.” Dark Leoshi said. He places his dark insidious hands on the old book.

“Principal, Demon!” Dark Leoshi shouted. “The time has come!”

“Yes, sir!” they both said, standing like two obedient servants.

“Now that we have the book, what are we going to do about this one?” the principal asked, holding up Leoshi.

“Place him on the ground.” Demon said. “I need to turn him back to his correct age.”

“…hm?” the principal asked. “…but why?”

“He’s the only one who can call out the book’s powers.” Dark Leoshi said. “Turn him back to his age. Then I’ll use mind control to use all of his power. The world won’t stand a chance when it’s faced against the most powerful item in 3,000 years!”

“So, that was your plan?” Demon asked.

“…of course, you idiot.” Dark Leoshi replied. “You’re a smart person, I would have assumed you of all people would have foreseen this coming.”

“…um, yes sir.” Demon said.

“Yes.” Dark Leoshi said. The principal placed the little yoshi on the sand. Dark Leoshi held one of his hands and placed it on Leoshi’s head.

There was a sudden white flash. In an instant, Leoshi was suddenly his correct age, sitting on the beach.

“Now, tie him up.” Dark Leoshi said. “Get him back to the Majestuosa.”

“…wait, why?” the principal asked. “Can’t we just do it here?”

“There’s a certain place I want to unleash the book’s power.” Dark Leoshi said. “And I want to get there as soon as we can.”

They had quickly tied up Leoshi, then brought him to the side of his ship. There didn’t seem to be anyone there. There was the gilder nearby, crashed and pointed into the ground with the back still sticking up in the air. Though it seemed the incident was very recent, there was no sign of anyone around.

“Perfect.” Dark Leoshi said. “Get this kid on board now. I want out of here as fast as possible!”

The principal nodded and walked toward the bow of the ship. He passed by the fallen glider. As he did, a single figure stealth fully walked out from behind. The principal turned his head and spotted the female face of the spy.

“Hey, what the?!-”

The principal was only allowed to utter these words before a single press of her fingers against his neck caused the cybernetic man to collapse on the sandy ground.

“So then, Dark One.” Demon said, looking over at Dark Leoshi as Leoshi remained tied on the ground. “…do tell, where is this other place?”

Dark Leoshi suddenly frowned. His eyes also narrowed as well. “…my my, you certainly ask many questions.”

Demon looked down again. “…I know, sir.”

“Master.” Dark Leoshi corrected.

“…yes, erm, master.” Demon said.

“…something is troubling you, isn’t it?” Dark Leoshi said.

Demon simply nodded. “Yes, there is indeed something.”

“Well, I won’t meddle in your affairs. Try to get over it and get back on track. It’s going to be a long road ahead. We have a ways to go before we get to where I want to bring us.”

“FREEZE, PAL!!” a voice shouted suddenly.

Both Dark Leoshi and Demon looked up. There, standing right in front of them, was Ambioshi. She had taken the principal’s ray gun and was now pointing it right at Dark Leoshi. “GIVE BACK LEOSHI OR I’LL SHOOT!!”

Everyone froze still. Leoshi would have gasped it he had not been bound and gagged. Ambioshi looked a bit nervous herself, alternating her aim between Dark Leoshi and Demon.

“…and who are you, to meddle in other’s business?” Dark Leoshi asked.

“Someone who will look out for another person!” She said. “Now I don’t have any idea what’s going on here, but you better let him go before I fire… and don’t think I won’t!”

Dark Leoshi slowly formed a sinister smile on his face. “…you have nerve, going into places you don’t belong… and let me just say I hate nerve.” he tilted his head to Demon. “Demon, watch Leoshi.”

With that, the dark one slowly walked toward Ambioshi. She gasped, not expecting him to walk toward her. She immediately began to shake, taking a step back.

“…oh, and what’s this? A heroine wannabe, and she can’t even look death in the face.” Dark Leoshi said. “…pathetic. Truly and remarkably pathetic.”

The face of Leoshi’s dark version was horrifying to her. She couldn’t even move anymore now. She was on the brink of hyperventilating, her finger frozen on the trigger of the gun.

Dark Leoshi had stopped right next to her. He didn’t look the least bit intimidated as he stood directly in the face of the gun. He simply rose his arm and placed it on the top of the gun. Then, pushing on it with one finger, made her lower his hand, until the gun was no longer pointed at him.

“…you didn’t even try to resist.” Dark Leoshi said. “…and you risked your own life trying to do the impossible?”

With a quick attack, Dark Leo punched Ambi. She gasped and released the gun, causing it to spiral in the air before landing in the water nearby. She was suddenly grabbed and twisted, making a loud crunch. She gave a shout in pain, before being let go. She fell on the ground, now bruised and still too scared to move.

“Demon!” Dark Leoshi shouted. “Come here right now!”

Demon walked to him. “…Demon, finish the job.”

“Wait.” Demon said. “You want to kidnap her?”

“Of course not!” Dark Leoshi said. “We don’t have that kind of time! Just kill her!”

Demon’s eyes widened. “…kill, master?”

“Are you deaf?” Dark Leoshi asked. “…take out that Suriken and kill her already.”

Demon walked toward her. She slowly reached into his supplied and revealed his suriken. Ambi gave a scream as she saw the enormous blade.

Demon looked right at her, starring right into her eyes. He could feel enormous fear and terror… like an innocent child.

It was about then that Demon’s grip on his weapon loosened. “…Dark one? Is killing her necessary? Can we not simply leave her?”

“Do it!” Dark Leoshi said. “She has seen too much, she can’t be allowed to leave this beach alive!”

Demon didn’t move. He closed his eyes, not wanting to look into her innocent child’s eyes. He then slowly lifted the huge blade, letting it shine in the moonlight.

“Stop!” a voice shouted suddenly.

A green figure had pulled himself out of the water. Now, with both of his dragon claws poised around Demon‘s neck, Jay had Demon trapped as well. Ambi gasped, as Demon still held the suriken in the air, and Jay remained there, making sure that Demon wasn’t going anywhere.

“My, my…” Dark Leoshi said with a chuckle. “…things are getting interesting.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------

More on it’s way, coming soon!

[Yin]

I'm so sorry I havn't replied in such a long time, and lots of people said it many times before and I'll say it again... GREAT JOB LEO!! Keep it going on strong!

Well now, Demon isn't as much as a threat anymore. Seems like he's a good guy after all. Maybe he join our crew... Hmmm...

[Wildfire the Dragon]

This is getting better and better! But, hearing Demon not wanting to kill her was shocking. Anyway, keep it up!

[Lord of the Dance]

*leaps off of the building and runs to the boat* XD
Great job with the suspence, Leo! I wanna see what happens next... =<
How can Dark Leoshi use mind control if Leoshi's the only one that can unleash the power of the book?

[Yoshiken]

[Leoshi]

Dark Leoshi has a whole set of hidden abilities, among them, Mind Control. Even though leoshi's the only one who can read it, if his mind is being controlled, then the controller gains access to all of Leoshi's action, thus making them capable of making Leoshi cast spells at whatever they want.

[yoshark777]

Awesome! Good thing that Jay's here! ^^
Great job!

[eloeem]

YAY!! whens the next one come? *shot* keep it up man, this is getting more and more interesting^^

It kinda looks like Demon's close to rebel against Dark Leoshi. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHATS GOING ON NEXT!!!

[Midnight]

'Demon' doesn't seem like too much of a demon after all!

I'm glad that this fanfic is still continuing.I get so bored without something to read. ^_^

[UMS Author Lava]

Demon seems to have a soft side, huh?
And I'm thinking Dark Leo is a bit overconfident. Sorta like Maleficient.
And the principal seems too arrogant for his own good.

[Teo]

Why didn't I read this one earlier?...oh wait, I remember... little bitty thing about timing let's just say

What I love about these stories, is you always give a character a chance to shine, and now it appears to be Gar's, and the twists and suspense this story takes on are just fantastic.

The only person who could write more feedback about your story would be contenty, but guess who's NOT him

[Yoshiko]

Leo, you've done it again! A marvelous chapter it was, a marvelous one. I agree with Teo, your characters all have their chance to shine, and that is indeed what's spectacular about it.
Keep it all up, Leo~ Sorry I haven't been commenting as much as I could. D:
