Yoshi finds the Mushroom Kingdom in chaos after he return from his home. Many allies, especially the Mario Bros., Toad and Peach are now missing, and the Koopa Troop is annihilated. Yoshi must now travel around the known Mushroom World, recruiting friends and allies, before venturing into far away lands unknown to the Mushroom Kingdom. Who or what is the cause of this catastrophe?

What hope does an old Yoshi have for the new generation when all they care for is themselves? At least that is until a certain event... Set in an AU after the passing of the original characters. Tentative finish date: August 27.
