The City of Queztelope

[Leoshi]

(Yikes, I forgot about this. Sorry, I haven't done anything yet, and I don't really have too much time. I'm going to drop out of this, not like I did anything. Sorry)

[Enrique]

The next time that Enrique woke up, he saw himself in a hospital bed with bandages all over his body. "Where... am... I..." He managed to whisper. There was no one in the room to care for him, not even a nurse. He doesn't know how he get in the hospital; he barely knows that he's even in the hospital. His body still hurt all over. All over a rescue... At least he thought that he was somewhat of a hero...

He tried to sit up in his hospital bed; however, he had just enough energy to breathe, and his back and legs caused him much pain to move. He just laid there in the hospital bed, staring at wall opposite of him, knowing that he is practically useless now...

[yro Pedward]

Nurse: *She is approaching to the room Enrique is in, providing the goods on behalf of his staying at the hospital. She has brought in chicken soup, along with a gelatin dessert which appears to be a cherry flavor. She smiles towards him.* Bless your heart and spirit. You were very brave of rescuing those people. You need your rest here, your body was half burned, and we need you to stay here.

*The day passes on slowly, wind blowing weakly at 5 mphs SSE. The day remains the same, and people went back on to their lives.*

Conquistador 1: Blimey! I lost the fiend. Quantonio won't be happy about this.. oh well, going to serve my extra duties with the sire. *He puts away his Musket and lower his actions and walks back to the location of the Cathedral.*

[moshi]

Moshi was now completley confused. She didn't want to hurt the poor girl after what she done to worry her, so she sat quietly. She removed the yoshi's hand off her own mouth and sat quietly. Stick together? What did she get herself into now. Why was he chasing her? And with a gun? After long silence she peared around the corner. "He's gone, I believe. Now....... What the heck was that all about?"

[Enrique]

Enrique smiled at the nurse as she entered the room with the chicken soup and the gelatin. "Thanks... Nurse..." He was too weak to speak much more. As the Nurse laid the food on a tray next to him, he still laid in the hospital bed motionless for about another ninety seconds or so, regaining just enough strength to sit up so he can eat. When he did sit up, his lower back hurt him a little bit, but he tried to fight through the pain. He took a sip of the chicken soup; it tasted appetizing to him. As he continued to eat the soup, he tried to ignore the pain across his body.

[Teo]

After a rest, it was time to get up again and get moving. Teo, it's late and you fell asleep for hours, you're going to have to stay up all night now. You couldn't have done something else? I was thinking to myself again... though it seemed like my doppleganger was saying it. I looked around, now where'd I fall asleep again? I tried to get up, but the instant I did, my view seemed to blur and a falling sensation proceeded. Doing a complete forwards flip, I swung around and tried to grab the branch I had fallen asleep on, but to no avail, and was heading belly first towards the floor. I wish it were the floor, there was another branch in front of me. My legs balanced out in time to pass the branch with just a belly scrape, and the ground finally welcomed me. Soft, cool, moist mud.

That was interesting... Aw great, now I'm all muddy! Oh well, no one'll care anyhow. I got up and starred at that tree viciously as if to intimidate it. Seeing as I could not, I turned around and left. I should go rock climbing today... or maybe just a swim. I peered down at my stomach, tail, and forearms, covered in mud. Yup, definetaly a swim.

I went to the nearest river to wash off, when I remembered the city I visited before my sleep. Now where was it... Oh yes! I remembered where it was, I had slept in that tree on the branch that pointed to the city. And as memory serves, it was downstream, so I started walking.

The walk was suprisingly short as I came to a waterfall, a small waterfall, but nonetheless a ten foot wide fall. There was that city, ruined, destroyed, but attempting to be repaired. I saw smoke rising from the city, but it soon went out. I looked down at the steep cliff, pondering whether I should fly down, or do that rock climbing I promised myself. I stuck to my promise and went down the long way, seeking to each potential hold and delicately testing it before asserting any weight. Test to see if you don't have a better option, don't tire yourself out using only your upper body, find resting spots... All these tips from years back, flowing in my head, guiding me down the rock. Soon, I was at the base, and I could see the city from a normal person's view. I turned around at the cliff side one last time, and saw what I -what any- may have been afraid to do without backup.

Traveling at a fast walk, I entered the city and looked around. It was... starting to look better, but there were people who were out of their homes and on the street, and burned looking buildings and it was an awful scene. It could be a lot worse, this place could be a monarchy or a tyranny, indipendent from everywhere else. I wonder what I'll find here. A grin crept on my face. I could showoff... I can't resist... ooh but I must... No... Aw... bad Teo. I fought that urge with more vigor than a bull trying to knock out a wall, and broke the wall, deciding to walk around normally.

[Lord of the Dance]

The girl seemed confused. I did my best to answer her question.

"It seems you know me from somewhere, so I thought the guard might recognize you, too. I tripped on a rock, and it hit that king guy. I didn't want you to accidentally get hurt if he tried to fire at me, so I did my best to hide both of us..." I was too used to keeping Champ with me, I supposed. I couldn't function quite the same without a friend near me. Even though the girl wasn't quite a friend, it felt good trying to protect something.

"We should probably find a better place to hide, and talk this over. Come on." I started, peering around the corner. "I think I know an okay place..." I had seen a good nook around the statue I woke up near.

[yro Pedward]

Quantonio: *He approaches towards to the Cathedral, along with Conquistador officers aside him. He notices Edward as he passes by and enters.* Good day, sir, would you join me of my aquaintances?

Edward:.oO(You realise your city will be in danger.) I'd be honored to, Quantonio. *He bows to him, respectfully.*

Quantonio: Come in, come in! We're preparing for a nice herbal tea.

*Edward nods and follow him inside the cathedra. Inside the cathedral is huge structures and supports, could be easily torn down. He keeps walking with the king to join him in a herbal tea. Until then, by nightfall, no one knows what will happen next.*

***Weather, Sunset, still with partly cloudy. Wind blows in the East at 14 mph.***

[Enrique]

(Never will I let this die!)

After Enrique had finished eating his soup and his gelatin, he had decided to take a nap. Rest was all that he was going to need in order to get well again. The pain from his burns were slowly starting to get ignored. As he was falling asleep, all that he could feel from the burns were a bit of heat, but the heat engulfed his body; he feared that it would reach him internally, and cause him to have a fever.

[Teo]

(I hear ya)

I wonder what happened here... it's so quiet. Cities like these should be brimming with activity. Reminds me of a long time ago... I was thinking to myself as I walked the roads.

It felt as if I made it to the center of the city, and there was the monastery again. I saw a park near it, a rather large park, not a playground but... a nice place to walk a dog. It looked like I could try to help this place, but I could do that later, I spotted a familiar face, or so I thought. Every yoshi looked alike, but after living with yoshies, you could start to recognize one over another. She was also with another yoshi... hmm... what were they doing here?

[yro Pedward]

Meanwhile, Edward is located inside the cathedral, making conversation with the king, Quantonio. The day slowly darkens, butas you know it, they are taking an herbal tea.

Quantonio: How's the tea, sir?

Edward: *Taking a sip from the tea.* Very nice, and delicious, king.

Quantonio: *Puts down the cup of tea on a small table.* So tell me sir, what brings you in this mighty empire, the City of Queztelope?

Edward: *He puts down the cup of tea as well.* I come for the negociation of a deal, of your misery.

Quantonio: *With a look of a moderate look on his face.* Excuse me? What do you mean by that?

Edward: Your ruling of this place will expire of your old age, I want you to hand me your power to rule the city next.

Quantonio: I'm afraid I can't do that, vote must be commenced when necessary, and the decision made to the people.

Edward: Your last chance, give me the power to rule!!

*The Conquistadors held their muskets, appointing at him, if any harm done to the king, he will be assassinated.*

Quantonio: You dare to threaten me? Even without your weapons, I sentence you to the dungeon! Conquistadors, take him away, and lock him up!!

*The Conquistadors grabbed him from the back, grabbing his both arms and drags him away.*

Edward: Then it is settled. Your city has seen its last sunshine. Remember those words..

Quantonio: Hmmmmmm.. .oO(Could he be one of the Darklings?)

[Lord of the Dance]

I quietly led the girl through the dying day. I thought I saw someone I knew, but quickly turned my head. I didn't want anyone else to recognise me. What if they also knew what I was doing?

We were nearly there now. "By the way, what's your name?" I turned to face the girl, the last rays of the sun behind her. I only had one day left after tonight to give the evil ones my decision, now...

[yro Pedward]

*Slowly as Edward is being dragged out of the cathedral, with Conquistadors holding him and dragging him towards to the building which is 1 block away.*

Conquistador 1: You are under arrest for such threatening and demanding words to the king.

Edward: You will all know your city will be in great danger. Putting me behind bars won't save you and the people. Only my kind will stay alive.

Conquistador 2: Silencio, peasant! We've heard enough from out of ya.

*As then, they dragged him into the prison building, and tossed him inside the prison, and they closed the steel cage. He is now in prisoned behind bars, with a wooden bed with no pillow, and there he see is the skeletal of a dead corpse.*

[Enrique]

As he was awaken by the nurse, Enrique hoped that he didn't have a high fever. He saw the nurse bring a little plastic jar of white cream into his room; shortly, the nurse was rubbed the cream on the areas of the body where he was burned - which was practically his whole body. The cream felt cold to the touch when it was applied. "This will help heal your burns," the nurse had informed him. Enrique couldn't respond to the nurse; he was still a bit tired. All he could do was shiver at the exposure of the cold-feeling cream.

Enrique knew about what the cream was about. He remembered that his mom used the stuff on on his fingers when he was making dinner in the oven and he grabbed the hot pan without oven mitts. However, usually, it would take hours before the heat from the burns to go away, and even when the heat went away, the skin where the burns occured was extremely tender and very sensitive to the touch.

Enrique continued to just lay in bed, waiting for the burns to start healing. He started to feel a little dizzy. He tried to call for the nurse's attention; she was approximately ten feet away from him, and he struggled, as he was halfway between whispering and speaking. "Nurse... I think... I'm... sick..." The nurse paused to look at him, then grabbed a thermometer. Shortly after the nurse had inserted the thermometer in Enrique's mouth, he realized that he had what he feared that he would get - a 102.8° temperature.

[yro Pedward]

*The day becomes dark, with the full moon. The city is very quiet, people are in their homes, ignoring what was happening right now. But at the prison, the first Conquistador stayed back and started speaking to Edward.*

Conquistador 1: You realise threatening at the king with harsh words will end you up here, for 5 years.

Edward: 5 Years will be long, for few mins will be short. Caging me up here won't help save your city, which means you and the people are indeep jeopardy.

Conquistador 1: What? What are you talking about!?

Edward: I have the power to turn the world inside-out. You will all parish.

Conquistador 1: That's enough of your words, YOU'RE LYING!!!

Edward: *His eyes begins to flame up.* I don't lie as I stress the truth. Like I said, your city has seen its last sunshine.

Conquistador 1: Wh-wh-what do you mean by that? *With a scared look lon his face.* TELL ME!!!!

Edward: What I mean to say this: Farewell... City of Queztelope. *His eyes burns up alot more.*

Conquistador 1: Ai diós mio!!!! QUANTONIO!!!!!! *Turns as he rushes out of the prison to tell the King the fate.*

*People are not aware of what's really going to happen. Evacuation is inevitable.*

[Enrique]

Enrique felt as miserable as he has ever been in his entire life. He was in pain from the burnings he had received earlier in the day and he now had a fever. He felt very dizzy and felt like he wanted to throw up. He closed his eyes to try not to get overly nauseous and throw up everywhere. In response to his desperation, he ended up calming down a little bit and fell asleep.

However, when he woke up approximately fifteen minutes later, he seemed to feel worse. The nurse had left a garbage can next to his bed. He located the can and vomited. The nurse came in the room shortly afterwards, and asked Enrique if he felt alright. All he could do was mutter in the wake of his own vomit. "No..." He puked again after muttering out the word. The nurse quickly fled the room and came back with another garbage bucket. However, Enrique didn't need to puke again.

After his puking session was over, Enrique tried to lay down in bed again. The nurse felt Enrique's head again; she made him rinse out his mouth to make sure all of the vomit was ejected from his mouth; this was so she could take his temperature. Apparently, with the vomiting, he had broken his fever. He certainly felt better, but he was still in pain from the burns.

[yro Pedward]

*Conquistador ran fast as he could to alert Quantonio that the city has come to an end. He reached to the king in time to tell him the city's last fate.*

Conquistador 1: King Quantonio, I got terrible news to tell you!!

Quantonio: What!? Tell me!!

Conquistador 1: We're all going to... *Feels the sudden heavy rumble of a huge earthquake.*

*The ground begins to vibrate heavily with full force.*

Quantonio: What in the world... there's an earthquake!

Conquistador 1: No king, it's not... it's the end..

Quantonio: You mean...

Conquistador 1: ...yes.. it's over. We can't evacuate..

*Both tilted their heads down, and awaiting the great moment of mass destruction. Also, the people went outside, screaming in fear that the world is coming to an end. Even inside the hospital is panicing. Edward remains inside the prison, now casting a different spells.*

Edward: The City of Queztelope will be no more, I will forcified my kinds to protect them from any harm, until the aftermath is over. let the mass destruction begins.. *With a white firing light appears in his both hands, a bubble appears around him, encasing himself in it, and floating up abit, which will cause the same to every yoshis to be encased in it (that means you guys), and protecting them at all costs. Earthquake gets more powerful, that the ground starting to split, moving one fault that rises upwards a little bit.*

[Lord of the Dance]

I was lifted into a bubble that was a blue-ish color. "Ah! Hey!" I couldn't move, I could only watch helplessly as the ground beneath me and the girl was split with a mighty crack, and heaved upwards.

I thought of Champ. Was he okay? Would the earthquake get all the way to him and his captors? Something told me that those bad guys would keep their word. I wondered what would incense them to let Champ go after I agreed to do thier dirty work. I had nearly made up my mind, but one thing plagued me: What would happen to me after I agreed? I heard a voice echo through my head...

Hurry, little Yoshi. Your time is almost up...

[Enrique]

Enrique felt a shaking sensation in his hospital bed. At first, he thought that he was having a seizure, but as he found out, the whole hospital was shaking. Almost immaculately, he was suddenly encased in a large blue bubble, and started floating upwards a bit. "Whoa... What is going on...?" The bubble hit the ceiling of the hospital room, then drifted downwards about 4 inches.

He could hear something crack; he looked up; the ceiling was breaking apart. Enrique started to panic. "No! I don't wanna die yet!" As a chunk of the ceiling broke off, he covered his eyes. However, he didn't feel anything drop on him; the broken ceiling piece had bounced off the bubble and landed on the hospital bed in which he was laying on a short moment ago. The bubble continued to float in the air...

[yro Pedward]

*As the earthquake continues on, in few seconds, the heavy blasts eruption will occur.*

Edward: This half of the world will be obliterated, new world order will be mine for to conquer, and my kinds are protected encased in a shielded bubble. I have made sure all yoshis are protected.

*The eruption occurs, as sulfur gases are pouring out, and blasts of explosion coming out. Few houses has been destroyed, followed by the cathedral, killing the king, and people contained inside. The blasts erupts inside the hospital that Enrique is in, but it did not kill him, due that he is inside the bubble, safe. As well as few open areas the explosion has broken out. Dozens of people might have already been killed. The eruption still goes on for 2 mins.*
