Pit and co have now found themselves within Yoshi's Island, ready to see if anything of value lies within.


"Looks like we're here. Dark Pit. Since you're the only one who can fly, you scout the area from above while the rest of us do a ground search. We'll meet back in 5 minutes."


Dark Pit shrugged, and proceeded to do just that.


"Whatever floats your boat."


As he flew off, Dash and Pit were folding their arms/hooves and hating the fact that they couldn't fly anymore.


"It stinks not being able to fly."


"Tell me about it."


"I bet if my wings worked, I'd scout the island in no time!"


Sonic put a finger to his chin in thought. It would be much quicker if the gang split up!


"I say we split up so we can cover more ground."


"Good thinking, Sonic. Pit, if anything goes wrong, be sure to contact me."


Pit gave Palutena a salute sign.


"Right, Lady Palutena!"


Rainbow then started to get curious. What in Equestria was up with the name of this place anyway?


"Why is it called Yoshi's Island in the first place?"


"That's because it's the home of friendly dinosaurs called Yoshis. They're very friendly, so I'm sure if we find one, he'll be of good help.
Sonic and Shadow, you two cover one side of the island boarders, I'll head towards the centre of the island. Pit and Rainbow Dash, you go west." 


"We should be able to cover ground in no time!"


"I'd be careful though. This place is full of creatures." 


Pit began to get worried about Palutena's safety. The last thing he wanted was for her to be under mind control again.


"What about you, Lady Palutena? What'll happen if you get attacked?"


Palutena smiled.


"HOORAY SMILES!"


"Pinkie Pie!? What are you doing here?!? You're not supposed to be in this chapter!"


"Woops!"


"...Well anyways..."


"I still have my staff. You have your bow and light arrows. Remember. Meet back here in 5 minutes. Good luck."


As they started heading off to their set destinations, Shadow stopped for a bit. He sensed powerful energy somewhere close...


"Wait."


"Hmm? What is it, Shadow?"


"I can sense something. It feels like a Chaos Emerald is here."


"Then we gotta find it and fast before it falls into the wrong hands!"


Sonic smirked, giving Shadow a thumbs up, with Shadow frowning and folding his arms in response. Sonic shrugged.


In Pit's location, he and Dash seem to have located something, with Pit getting ready to contact Lady Palutena.


"Lady Palutena, I found something! Should we head back?"


"Of course." 


Palutena proceeded to contact Dark Pit.


"Dark Pit, find the others and tell them to meet us back where we started."


"Understood."


They all made their way back to the starting point.


"Alright, Pit. What did you find?"


"We found an egg."


Sonic huffed. It wasn't a chilli dog. He surely could go for one right now.


"Well, it's no chilli dog, but it'll have to do. All this running around made me hungry anyways."


The egg began to move.


"It moved!"


Not long after, it hatched, revealing a green baby dinosaur called a Yoshi.


"Yoshi!"


"It's a Yoshi!"


RD gave the creature a strange look.


"A what now?"


"Yoshis are dragon creatures and they're very friendly. Maybe this one can help us."


Yoshi's stomach began to grumble. Poor guy is starving!


"I think it's hungry."


Suddenly they could hear screaming in the distance.


"Did you hear that?"


Dash went wide eyed. She knew that voice from anywhere!


"That sounded like Fluttershy! But what's she doing here?"


"We have to find her. It sounds like she's in danger."


"Then let's not waste any more time!"


Shadow followed them, sensing the energy there anyway.


"The energy of the Chaos Emerald seems to be coming from there anyway." 


"Hopefully it's safe."


On the other side of the island, loads of enemies found in Yoshi's Island had Fluttershy surronded.


"Please don't hurt me! I-I didn't know this was your spot." 


As they started to get closer, she screamed again. Suddenly Yoshi came, using his tongue to eat all the shy guys and goombas.


"Huh? Where'd they go?"


Yoshi burped.


"Did you...save me?"


"Yoshi!"


"Oh, thank you! I don't know what I would've done if they hurt me. Out here all alone, without my friends. I don't know why I agreed to do that spell with Twilight and the others. Who knows where they all are? And my element's gone too."


Pit and the gang followed the dinosaur's footprints. 


"I think Yoshi went this way."


"That guy can move pretty quick."


As they made it to where Yoshi is, they found Fluttershy.


"Is that? Rainbow Dash?"


"Fluttershy! Thank Celestia we found you! I thought I heard a scream so we followed the source. Are you alright?"


The 2 hugged each other in reunion ship. It was good to see a familiar face again.


"I am now, thanks to this little guy."


"Yoshi!"


"What is that thing anyway? I've never seen anything like it."


"it's a Yoshi. He's very friendly."


Flutters smiled. He saved her. Such a nice little creature she thought.


"I can tell. He did save me. So who are your new friends?"


After Dash introduced everyone to her and how they got here, Fluttershy was surprised at the things this Eggman character had done. Turning animals into robots?! What monster would do such a cruel thing!?!


"Oh my. This Eggman person sounds horrible."


"You have no idea."


Fluttershy began looking around to find the source of the voice.


"Where'd that come from?"


"It's Viridi again."


"If I can add something here, I think I saw three strange looking dogs with a Chaos Emerald in the depths of the rainforest." 


Shadow briefly smiled.


"I knew I felt a Chaos Emerald."


"Anyway, you should start heading north. They should be there and they seemed to be rambling about finding more."


Shadow closed his eyes and smirked.


"Obviously they don't realize there's only 7 Chaos Emeralds in existence."


Shy gasped. They sound like those diamond dogs! Why here now of all times??


"They sound like the Diamond Dogs. But I thought they left Ponyville ages ago."


Pit suddenly realised something. Viridi was watching all along, yet didn't say anything until now! What was up with that?


"Hey, Viridi, how come you didn't say anything before? We could've used your help 5 minutes ago."


"You seemed like you had everything under control. Besides, you have Palutena with you."


Palutena added:


"And we could use all the help we can get."


Viridi rolled her eyes.


"Someone has to stay and keep an eye on things. The least I can do is give Dark Pit the help he needs." 


"Not that I need it anyways."


"You know, I can take your powers away just as easily as I can give you them. And you already used up the power of flight in this chapter. So I'd watch the attitude, mister!"


"...fine."


"Anyway, good luck. You'll need it."


Fluttershy had a blank face on her.


"Who was that anyway?"


"That was Viridi. The Goddess of Nature. But she has a bit of a grudge against humans."


As Palutena explained who Viridi was, another question popped up. What was a human that she spoke of?


"What's a human?"


Without going into too much detail, Pit decided to explain it in the simplest possible way.


"Kinda like us, but not immortal."


And so the gang headed off together in search for these Diamond Dogs... What could be in store for them? Find out next time! Actually not next time because we'll be switching up to Twilight again. But next time as in when we go back to these guys. Sound good? Good. Okay end of chapter goodbye! =P
