A Mutant Beast Covers Inner Beauty

Chapter 10

Yoshi gasps as he starts to remember.

THE MEMORIES

"Come on Yoshi!" A six year old Saki yells as Yoshi runs behind him.

"Saki, wait for me!" A six year old Yoshi yells after him and they laugh as they enter the castle and they run toward the library. Saki picks up 'Romeo and Juliet' as Yoshi gets comfortable in their chairs. Saki smiles as sits next to Yoshi and they start reading their book together.

The next memory is of a ten year old Yoshi and a ten year old Saki dancing in the ballroom, their hands intertwined with each other as they twirl around the marble floor. Laughing and smiling innocently as they look at each other. Saki twirls Yoshi around and Yoshi giggles as he spins, the two laughing carelessly.

The last memory is of a thirteen year old Saki running inside the catacombs, hiding from a thirteen year old Yoshi.

"Saki where are you?" Yoshi says as he walks in and he jumps at the sudden shutting of the door. "Saki this isn't funny anymore." Yoshi walks around the catacombs as he slowly becomes scared. "Saki, seriously this is not funny!" Yoshi turns around and he ducks in fright as the bats flying around him. "SAKI!!" He screams and he starts crying as Saki appears. He kneels down and starts comforting the crying Yoshi.

"It's okay, Yoshi." Saki says, but Yoshi keeps crying. "Yoshi, I'm here now." Yoshi whimpers as he starts to calm down and Saki kisses the top of his head. "I'll always be here for you Yoshi." Yoshi sniffs as he wipes his eyes and looks at Saki.

"Promise?" Saki smiles and caress Yoshi's cheek, capturing his lips as Yoshi kisses back.

"I promise, I will never leave you Yoshi."

END OF MEMORIES

Yoshi rereads the signature a few more times and he still couldn't believe it, Saki was with him this whole time? He was with Saki the whole time and he never said anything? Yoshi gasps as he remembers what Saki asked him before he left.

Are you happy here with me? Saki was going to tell him the truth and Yoshi covers his mouth as he shakes his head in devastation while he sobs, Donatello confused.

"Mother why are you crying?" Donatello asks and Yoshi continues to sobs.

"Because Donatello, I left him alone in that castle and now he's going to die at Victor's hands." Yoshi explains and he realizes. "I have to go save him and tell how I feel." Yoshi stands up along with Donatello as the olive green-skinned terrapin smiles. "Now how do we get out of here with Casey guarding the exit?" Casey smirks.

"That's right and because I value my life and don't want to die when Victor comes back, I will guard this door with all of my might. And nothing will..." Casey screams as ice ball is thrown at his head and he falls unconscious, Leona walks to the window.

"Yoshi, are you in here?" Leona asks and she smiles seeing Yoshi inside as Donatello brights.

"Leona." Donatello says and Leona blushes.

"Hello Donatello, it's nice to see you again." They smile at each other until Raphael got annoyed.

"Uh hello! Our home is being invaded!! Can you two stare at each other like idiots another time?!" Raphael yells and Yoshi chuckles at the young mutants blush hard.

"Uh right, this might make you cold." Leona shifts Raphael in her other arm with Michelangelo and she touches the door, making to crack as it freezes. Yoshi breaks the ice as he and Donatello run out, Yoshi quickly runs for Maria.

"I have to stop him, everyone climb on." Yoshi says as he mounts onto Maria and the rest climb on. "Hang on!" Yoshi pulls onto Maria straps as she neighs.

Meanwhile at the castle, the servants are having a hard time keeping the villagers out.

"This is getting ridiculous, we have to do something!" Bebop says and he groans as the door hits against his back.

"As much as I hate to say it, you're right. We can't hide anymore it time to fight back." Tigerclaw says and he and Bebop come up with a plan. Bebop quickly diminishes all the lights (even though there wasn't many). The village finally get the door open and Victor quickly walks inside along with the rest. Tyler hides behind Victor and Victor rolls his eyes.

"Will you quit be a scaredy mouse? We need to find that beast!" Victor yells in a whisper and the lights came on.

"ATTACK!!" Bebop screams and the servants and villagers start fighting. Tigerclaw starts shooting his guns, the dog (Chompy) is biting the villagers' ankles, the knives chase some of the others around. Victor runs out the way as he walks toward into the west wing. And he smirks finding himself in Saki's bedroom and Saki staring at the blue rose.

"Why hello Beast, I think you know how this is about to end." Victor says and Saki just sighed as Victor shot him with his bow and arrow. Saki roars in pain as the arrow penetrates his shoulder. Victor laughs as Saki grunts in pain and the castle starts to shake in agony, there is only one rose petal now left.
