## Hutch-Yoshian War

Main Article: Hutch-Yoshian War

During the Hutch-Yoshian War, King Yoshi IV proved himself to be an advanced military general in spite of his age. Even though his army was greatly outnumbered by the Hutchians, King Yoshi triumphed in many battles with his clever positioning, speed, and surprise. He also spent a lot of his resources improving the naval army and air force, as he knew that it would make Yoshian Island virtually unable to be invaded. When the Hutch did manage to break through, he quickly drove them back out. Some of his most famous battles are in this war, such as the Battle of the Hutch Caldera, the Battle of Yoshi River, and the siege of the Hutch castle. Despite all odds, he managed to take out the Hutchians and win the war, cementing himself as a legendary leader only 2 years into his reign.

### Early War

During most of the Satanic Vs. Rabies War King Yoshi IV allied him and his army with the Satanic Rabbits, as the Hutchians had allied with the Rabid Rabbits, who were not on good terms after the recent war. He and his army joined with the Satanic Rabbits at Saint Russia Bridge, where the Rabid Rabbit army stood on the other side. He fought with the army at many battles in the war, which gained the respect of his men.

### Assassinated? and the End of the War

In the battle of New Hamsterdam, Terry was in the heat of the battle when he was shot by a Rabies trooper. He was presumed dead, but he was secretly alive and sending information to the Yoshians. Realizing the Satanic Rabbits were just as bad as the Rabies Rabbits after overhearing a meeting, he gathered his army without anyone knowing. When the Religious Rabbits were losing in attempt to intervene at the Battle of Satan's Creek, King Yoshi IV made his legendary entrance and helped the Religious Rabbits stop the battle. This is widely regarded as one of, if not, his most legendary battles. He oversaw peace negotiations between the Satanic Rabbits and Rabies Rabbits on March 5, 2006. Within 3 years of reign, Terry had made his name known as one of the greatest leaders of the time.

## Attack on the Royal Court

On December 26, 2021, King Yoshi found himself under attack when Jessie&James 1. This time, the King was caught off guard instead of the other way around, and Terry found himself quickly suffering defeat. He was knocked unconscious and thrown into the Royal Court's underground prison. A few days later during the second battle between Lightning's party and Jessie, the latter exploded a hole in a wall which happened to lead to the prison, knowing the King's battle prowess, NESPeon used his ancient magnet to break the jail cell's door and bring it to him, freeing the King and giving Ness a shield. The King aided Lightning and co. with his expert swordsmanship, which eventually caused Jessie to flee for the volcano. He stayed behind to recover, but thanked the heroes for freeing him.
