The Mario Bros have been captured?! And Yoshi too?! Things didn't seem to look up, and less so now that Kamek attempted a trick of hypnosis after the failure of the Boos. We'll see how that turned out...

"I suppose it didn't take effect." Mario commented, looking at Yoshi. He didn't respond.

"I think you should talk to him. That'll make him recognize you immediately..." Kamek answered, grinning.

Mario looked at him, rolled his eyes, and then looked at Yoshi. "You alright, buddy?"

As soon as he said that, Yoshi reacted.

"Buddy? Who are you calling buddy?" Yoshi said, not looking back.

"Me! I'm your buddy! Mario! And Luigi's here too, and Peach...." Mario said back.

"Oh. How interesting. I am sure that I'm not your friend. And, why am I in here with you?!" Yoshi turned back and looked in slight disgust at the Mario Bros.

"Guys, I think that trick worked... He's against us!" Peach whispered to Luigi, nervous.

"Well, just what we needed. First we're trapped here, and now my friend is with my enemy!" Luigi yelled, annoyed.

"What?! How could you?!" Mario looked at Kamek, angered.

"Got a problem? I would say my whole motives behind this, but I rather not." Kamek answered, and shrugged uncaringly.

"Don't you think you will get away with this!" Mario said, and he recieved a punch from Yoshi. "What?!"

"If you're gonna get him or King Bowser you're going to have to go through me!" Yoshi said at Mario.

"No way! You simply aren't loyal to the biggest punk in the Mushroom Kingdom!" Mario yelled back, and before an actual response, he was met with more punches.

"I am, and always were! The punk here is you, and that green guy there!" Yoshi said, pointing at Luigi.

"Gee, Kamek, what did you do?! Did you put Bowser's noggin in him?!" Luigi asked, even more annoyed.

"No... Why so?"

"Because now he knows me as green guy, or something related to green! At the very least he should know my name! Bowser knows my name! At times. Or he remembers after defeat." Luigi explained, and crossed his arms.

"Ha, ha. Very funny. I'll just get Yoshi out of there, he is our new minion now!" Kamek laughed, and teleported Yoshi out of the cage.

"Mamma Mia...." Mario said to himself.

"Alright Kamek, are you done with your magic trick?" Bowser asked, entering the room.

"Yes. Yoshi is now purely loyal to the Koopas." Kamek answered.

"Pfft! That would never happen!" Mario and Bowser said in unison. Mario said it in an angry tone, while Bowser said it in a joking tone.

"Have the proof, your majesty." Kamek said, and stepped aside.

"Hello, King Bowser. I am at your every command." Yoshi said, confidently.

"Wow! That ain't enough proof, Kamek. I need to know that he hates the Mario Bros with all his might, and we need to do to the Kingdom! And give him an order, so I can get the final evidence." Bowser declared.

"Alright, as you wish." Kamek nodded, and signaled Yoshi.

"You don't think I'm not loyal enough to you, sir? Come on. While I do know the Mario Bros. I know that they need to be finished! And the kingdom must be taken over!" Yoshi said, and every word just made Mario's jaw drop slightly.

"Bowser, instead of I giving the order, why don't you do it? That'll prove you enough!" Kamek said, and smiled.

"Yeah, you're right." Bowser nodded, and looked at Yoshi. "Alright Yoshi! I need you to bring all Yoshis to me! You guys would make an excellent army! I'll send you troops to aid you." Bowser said, and looked, waiting for an answer.

"Oh my goodness..." Mario looked, afraid, while Luigi just searched through a suitcase.

"I think that won't be necessary, your highness. I will trick them into here! Just tell me where do I leave them so we can take them all." Yoshi said, and grinned. Mario yelled, not believing what he just heard.

"Boarding Bowsers! This guy is now my servant! Like, I can't stress it enough, I am genuinely impressed! You did a good job." Bowser said, and clapped.

"Ah, thanks, it's nothing. Now, Yoshi! Get your mission underway!" Kamek ordered.

"On it, Kamek!" Yoshi nodded, and left the room.

"What a magnificent day! My plan is going better than expected!" Bowser said, and laughed. "Alright, Super Caged Bros! You aren't getting anywhere for now! As for Peach, she deserves a better place... Right beside my throne!" He continued and pressed a button on the wall, a tunnel in the ceiling opened, and Peach's cage was being taken on it.

"NO! That's not a better place! Here is better!! HELP!!" Peach screamed, and she echoed as the caged rose up the tunnel.

"Peach!"

"Peach nothing! See ya later, 'friends'!" Bowser laughed again, and he and Kamek left the room.

"Dang it! We need to get out of here!" Mario said, punching the cage's door, which slightly bent. "Huh?"

"Have you found a solution?" Luigi asked.

"Yup! It's right here!" Mario said enthusiastic.

"... Where?" Luigi looked around, puzzled.

"Right here!" Mario said, pointing at Luigi and him.

".... Oh my suitcase? It doesn't have anything of much use..." Luigi said as he held up his suitcase. Mario facepalmed big time.

"The solution is US Luigi! YOU, ME! THE MARIO BROTHERS!" Mario screamed.

"Well, sorry!!! Be more specific next time! Gee..." Luigi rolled his eyes.

"Let's just get this over with." Mario said, and rolled his eyes.

Lots of punches against metal could be heard. In short minutes, the Mario Bros. Had brought the jail door down.

"Alright! We're out!" Mario declared.

"Yeah!" Luigi added.

"Now, what do we do? We can stop Bowser now, but in the other hand, Yoshi is going to get his whole island to get abducted and turned!" Mario said.

"Well... Do you think Yoshi can pose a better threat than Bowser?" Luigi replied, reluctantly.

"Depends... But we may not need to do that if we get Yoshi directly free!" Mario said as he got an idea.

"How, exactly?" Asked Luigi.

"We need to get rid of what hypnotized Yoshi!"

"Kamek?"

"Yeah! But the object used!"

"Oh! The pendant!" Luigi said, snapping his fingers.

"Yeah! Let's a go!" Mario said. "I think they will all be in the Throne Room, so let's take the shortest route there!" He added, and looked at an air vent.

"We're going through there?" Luigi asked, looking at the air vent as well.

"Yup! Let's go! We have no time to waste! We'll surprise Bowser there!" Mario said, and jumped up to the air vent, kicking it open. He entered through, and Luigi followed.
