The Shadows of Nor'Lesha
From Yb Timeline
The Shadows of Nor'Lesha was Sub's first story that was successfully completed in the Yoshi Bodyguards. It was one of the few stories that was not a continuation of other stories, did not contain any reoccurring characters (barring the YBs themselves), and was not continued in other stories. It was the first attempt at an open story, with a sandbox environment that allowed for the users to do whatever they wanted, having an impact on how the story flowed.

Story
Pre-Story: Space Ruin
The story began with a normal day in the Yoshi Bodyguard Headquarters. After the usual random oddness, the base's primary communication's terminal was activated. The Prime Minister of the Yoshi Islands had just gotten word from the Galactic Federation that a ruined Chozo space hulk was drifting into Star World space, and was harboring terrorists. Due to boundary issues, the Federation could not move a force in to intervene, and the SWD were occupied with other matters. So the Yoshi Bodyguards were sent in.
At first, the mission was going smoothly. The Yoshi Bodyguards had landed without any issue. Then, detonation charges destroyed their ships. After a fight with terrorists, they found a terminal room, where Bob noticed strange binary writing, stating "Bring the Brown one to the core." He ignored it, and the group continued on, fighting the terrorist leader in a hijacked Federation mech suit. After it's defeat, however, a power surge ran through the space hulk, activating it. Then, a mysetrious planet formed near the hulk, and it began to plummet toward it.
The Yoshi Bodyguards attempted to take the terrorist ships, but were all separated into three groups, two getting into ships and being caught in the slipstream of the vessel, another running back into the core of the hulk and going down with it.
NOTE: The following are three different fronts that occurred at the same time. The numbering does not matter.
Front 1: The Sealed Crypts
The group that stayed behind managed to hide in the ruin of the space hulk, and survived the crash. This group, lead by Sub, landed in a strange Chozo ruin. The others, seeing nothing better to do, examined their surroundings. Mush found a temple, and took the torches surrounding a shrine. The shrine activated several Chozo statues, which he evaded, going back to the group.
Meanwhile, the group was examining a strange wall, which was lined with a puzzle. After a while needless of guessing, Sub broke the seal, and found a strange chamber lined with containment cells. The group stared in awe at the cells, just before they began to activate. From the cells came strange hybrids of Metroids and X Parasites, which attacked the YBs in number. The YBs escaped, running out into cover in the crashed space hulk, where they fought the Terrorist mecha, this time infested with the Hybrid. The Yoshi Bodyguards defeated it, though Hybrids began to swarm around then. Just as all hope seemed to fade, the Yoshi Bodyguards were enveloped in a strange light.
