Fake Block Blobs?!

**Fake Block Blobs?!** is the first segment of episode 44 of The Number Yoshis Return, with its second segment being Six, Number Detective.

## Summary

After Four is kidnapped by Madame Broode due to a fake Block Blob being present within the sofa, Zero, Two, Five, Six, Seven, Eleven, Fourteen, and Seventy must save him by getting rid of all of the fake Block Blobs hidden in different locations in the sofa.

## Plot

The episode starts inside the Number Yoshis' sofa, where One is attempting to make an omelette, only to have it burn in the oven. Then, Ninety-Nine takes over One's omelette-making - much to the latter's dismay - and makes a perfect omelette for everyone to eat. However, Four announces that he has to use the toilet. But not long after Zero and Eight have a playful fight over who should cut the omelette, the Number Yoshis and their cousins hear Four screaming. One, concerned, attempts to check on Four, but is stopped by Thirteen, who tells her that the bathroom could be dangerous. One comments sarcastically about that and carefully opens the door, only to find out that there is a fake Block Blob located right in front of the toilet. It attempts to suck up both One and Thirteen like a vacuum, but the two Yoshis both manage to get away successfully.

Afterwards, all of the Number Yoshis get "Broodal Alerts" on their phones, but Seventeen's phone also acts as a projector, and Madame Broode is seen on the virtually projected screen from Seventeen's phone, announcing that she has kidnapped Four using a fake Block Blob. This gets an angry response from all of the Number Yoshis, which causes Madame Broode to threaten to make Four a "second pet" (her first pet being Chain Chompikins) if the Number Yoshis and their cousins complain again. The Number Yoshis, nervous, then immediately feign happiness and tell Madame Broode they want Four to be kept permanently by the Broodals (when in reality, they plan to save Four from Madame Broode so that she *will not* "adopt" Four), while the Number Yoshis' cousins listen patiently to their conversation and Fourteen ends up being distracted by playing a crossword game on his phone.

After Madame Broode leaves her conversation with the Number Yoshis, the latter group tells their cousins that they lied to Madame Broode and actually want to save Four, to which Sixty points out that act as being risky. Two gets defensive, saying that their lie was for the Number Yoshis' own good. One agrees with Two, saying that they were worried that the threat could be serious. Fifty uses a roulette team call on her phone to determine which Number Yoshis will save Four. The result is Zero, Two, Five, Six, Seven, Eleven, Fourteen, and Seventy, making the rest of the Number Yoshis disappointed but wishing the eight Yoshis luck as they try to save Four.

When the eight Yoshis reach the Broodals' home base at Rabbit Ridge, located on the Dark Side of the Moon, they see Rango guarding the entrance to their tower. Rango says that the Yoshis cannot come in until they have found all of the fake Block Blobs, which makes the Yoshis look at Fourteen. Seventy, frustrated at Fourteen because the team found no fake Block Blobs before coming to Rabbit Ridge, threatens to replace him with Sixteen if Fourteen keeps forgetting about finding the fake Block Blobs, to which Fourteen hurriedly agrees to stop forgetting.

## Quotes

(The eight Number Yoshis arrive at Rabbit Ridge via having been launched from their sofa.)

**Fourteen**: "Well - looks like we're here!"

**Two**: "Yeah, we're definitely going to have to save Four from those..." (sputters) "...Broodals!"

(The Yoshis determinedly walk over to the Broodals' tower while also defeating rabbit-like enemies that attempt to bite them. They find that Rango is standing in front of the entrance with his hands on his hips.)

**Zero** (defiantly): "Hey, Rango! Move out of the way *now*, or I'm going to make you disappear!"

**Rango**: "Don't ya rascals know ya can't come in until ya found all da fake Block Blobs?" (points to Fourteen) "Especially dat guy over here!"

**Rango**: "So ya can't come in! Toodle-oo!" (leaves)

(The other Yoshis look at Fourteen.)

**Fourteen**: "What?"

**Seventy**: "So we went to Rabbit Ridge all for nothing?"

**Fourteen**: "What do you mean?"

**Seventy**: "We didn't even find any fake Block Blobs before we came here! That means I'm going to have to consider replacing you with Sixteen if all you're going to do is forget about finding fake Block Blobs."

**Fourteen**: "Okay, okay! Hold your horses, Seventy. I promise I'm not going to forget."

**Seventy**: (extends an arm to Fourteen) "You *promise* you're not going to forget?"

**Fourteen**: "I *promise*."
