Hehe. That's okay.
Yoshi followed the cry, but he wasn't quite sure were it was coming from. It rang out from all directions, screaming "Help me! Help me...." It wasn't anyone Yoshi knew, but he wanted to find them anyway. It grew louder and louder every minute, until it spoke other words. "Help me...I don't want to be stupid.....I want to write...create....but all I do is destroy!!! I'm a worthless creature....I left my friends to die! But it feels...good. Yesssss.....good....I lust for power......give it too me!!" The voice was breathing heavy, with pauses in between phrases. Yoshi felt a shiver as he came upon the figure. It turned around and drooled blood.
"Run." It breathed. Yoshi looked into the creatures eyes. His eyes. His face. His everything. Yoshi was starring himself eye to eye.
"Nooooooo! This can't be happening!" Yoshi swam far away, but he couldn't escape his own wrath. A melodramatic music was playing in the backround, getting faster and faster as the minute hand ticked. "Gawhahahahahahaha...RUN!! RUN!!!" A knife came down and barely missed Yoshi's neck. "Someone help! Help me!" Out of nowhere came a hand. A hand that had a grip of a thousand men. A hand that could save Yoshi from himself. "Grab hold!" Said a familar voice. Yoshi clutched the hand and held on tight. It pulled him through an endless void and out the other end. He fell asleep when he touched ground.
When Yoshi awoke, he found himself in a strange room. "Where...where am I?" He asked. He looked up to find a short little man drinking coffee in the corner. "Dei T?"
"You gave me quite a scare, little green one, but I'm pleased that your all right."
"Dei T. I'm so glad to see you! Was it you who saved me from that evil guy back there?
He nodded and told Yoshi to sit down. He took many sips from his cup, so that he would not fall asleep from old age. "Hehe. I didn't understand why you let the fat man take the wheel, but somehow it turned out alright. I was lucky enough to get there and save him and the other three."
Yoshi scratched his head. "One...two......hey! There were only four of us. Who's the other guy?"
Dei T. pointed into the corner where the others were sleeping. Next to them was a rather large ape.
"Donkey Kong?"
"Yes. You were in his dream. Tonight, he was dreaming of a high sea adventure. I dunno what I'll have for him the next day, but......"
"So you can transport people in between dreams? You can even decide what they dream?"
"I can do many things. I just hope you've been writing down all this stuff."
Yoshi took out his pen and paper and wrote more stuff down. To him it was gold. He soon put it away.
"So...what happened back there?" He asked.
"Hm? Oh, that evil creature you saw. The one that looked like you, right?"
Yoshi nodded. "Uh-huh. That's the one."
"Sigh....what I'm about to tell you isn't going to be easy.....are you sure?"
"I must know," he replied.
"Yoshi, that creature back there was the Subconscious. He is Lord of Subcon...and my brother."
Yoshi kept his ears open.
"There must be balance in the universe, you see. For every good creature, there is an evil one to counter it. God gave life to me, while the Devil gave life to Subconscious. I am the dreams, he is the nightmare. Get the point?"
The dino understood his every word. Somewhat.
"You see, Subcon can take the form of any creature he desires, as long as the world is filled with grief. He took doubt about your intelligence, and used it to manifest himself into you! I've got examples you know. This one time, he took the form of an ugly frog creature and took over. Called himself Wart. Hilarious, I thought, until he locked me up in a cell. I used some plumber guy to help me regain the kingdom. Looked alot like that guy in the corner, you know...."
"Uhhh....yeah. Of course he does! Listen? Will I ever run into him again?"
"As long as you have doubt....it will happen."
Dei. T. picked himself up and pointed him in the direction of the final doors. The one with the computer, and the one with the space shuttle.
"You still have two more doors. Then the story will end."
He vanished, leaving Yoshi and the others alone.
"This is a tough one.....whick door should I pick? I don't wanna run into Subcon again."
Which door should he pick?
The computer?
The Space thingie?
