Chapter 1: The Dragon's Mistake


The magician had enjoyed messing with the Smashers. It was within her powers and right to do so seeing as how they failed to make the connections yet. The first time was entertaining to say the least with what the Villager did to the Smashers. The second time she might have went a little overboard. If things went too far, she might have killed those two Smashers that were trapped in the Smash simulator, but they were smart enough to figure out how to leave with only a few injuries. After seeing how much they struggled, the magician wanted to continue tormenting that specific group of Smashers involved. She didn't know why she was fascinated with them over everyone else, but it was probably because they were stronger than the majority of the Smashers and could entertain her for a long time. The magician just needed to figure out how exactly she'll mess with them next.

Fortunately, she didn't have to think. While walking the path in Smash Forest, she heard the sounds of swords clanking and people grunting as they fell to their deaths. Excited, she hurried toward the location where the fighting took place and was pleased with what she saw. The dragon twins that had been the victims twice in her scheme were going up against soldiers that could not be seen with the naked eye. The Nohrian princess did her best to protect the Nohrian prince from harm. Even though they both had the dragonstones, they insisted in remaining in human form. The dragon princess had ordered her brother to stay behind her while she cut down the enemies before them. The dragon prince would assist his sister if she could not finish them off with one swing. The magician had noted that the girl was the better fighter of the two. The magician wondered what would happen if she put the silver haired princess in a worse position than she already was.

The magician made sure to stay hidden when she casted a powerful magic spell that would curse the sword that the dragon princess was wielding on her hand. The Omega Yato was a powerful blade, but for some strange reason, the blade that the girl had was darker than the one that her brother had. His was pure and full with radiant light while her blade felt corrupted and flawed. If this spell worked…

"Cory, behind you!"

Cory turned around to see an invisible warrior attempted to slam down his axe on her while she was distracted with the enemies in front of her. She quickly placed her sword in front of her in an attempt to parry the attack. To her horror, the axe was able to slam down on the Yatogami and shatter it to pieces. She let out a surprised cry at her sword being broken.

"No way! This can't be…"

"SIS!"

Cory was forced to move away from her brother thus leaving both of them wide open for an attack. There were a few enemies left. An enemy came up from behind the dragon princess and impaled her in the back. She hissed as she forced her tail to come out and slam the ninja behind her. The invisible warrior wasn't done with her and raised his axe again.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!"

The silver haired prince activated his dragon fang at the last moment in order to chomp on the head of the invisible warrior that tried to murder his sister. As a dead soldier, no blood came out of his body. The prince didn't care though. He was concerned for his sister.

"SIS!"

"Corrin…" The dragon prince began as she forced herself to observe the area to see if there were any more enemies after that. There didn't seem to be anymore enemies seeing as how most of them were either defeated or retreated. The magician was surprised that both of the Smashers before her failed to notice her presence but Corrin probably could care less if anyone but the Invisible Soldiers have shown up.

"We need to get you back to the mansion immediately!"

"But the Yatogami…"

The sword was something to be concerned about, but Corrin didn't care about that much either. Cory was bleeding from her stomach and if she didn't get treated now, she might bleed out.


The trip back to the mansion wasn't fun. Corrin needed to drag his sister back with him. Her injury prevented her from walking on her own and his staff wouldn't be enough to heal her in this situation. He needed to go to Dr. Mario or even ask Rob to help patch her up. The dragon prince had to carry the shattered Yatogami with him as well. Despite her injuries, Cory had begged Corrin to not let the others see her like this. At first, Corrin did comply with his sister's wishes and attempted to avoid the Smashers…until Dr. Mario caught them trying to go up the stairs.

"Corrin, where do you think you are going?! I demand to know why you are dragging your bloody sister around!" He shouted.

Corrin tried his best to come up with an excuse, but Dr. Mario wasn't having any of that. He had forced the two to head straight to the infirmary or he would report them to Master Hand for going overboard with their training. The Nohrian prince failed once they reached the infirmary. He couldn't hide the wound that was caused by the Vallites and he certainly couldn't hide the fact Cory's sword was shattered into pieces.

Backed into a corner, Corrin was forced to spill the beans about the incident.

"…We were attacked by soldiers from our world while we were training." He murmured darkly as he saw the look Dr. Mario was giving him. "When we were fighting them…sis's blade broke when she tried to block the attack and was injured as a result."

"And who are these soldiers? You know we do not know anything about your world."

"…I cannot say anymore." The Nohrian prince told him. "I'm sorry."

"Hmm…if you're going to act like this, then I might have to report this incident to Master Hand for real."

"W-What? N-No…please don't! We'll do it ourselves!"

The doctor wasn't convinced. "Oh? You don't seem sincere at the moment. You usually are your highness."

"Please, it's just Corrin…" The dragon prince muttered to himself. "If you can heal my sister, we'll report to Master Hand immediately afterward. What we cannot tell you is really important…so…"

Dr. Mario groaned. Corrin was adamant about keeping it a secret, but he wasn't the type to lie. Dr. Mario gave him the benefit of the doubt and treated the dragon princess' wounds. They weren't life threatening, but the treatment made it less noticeable. Corrin assisted with his staff. It was about to run out and break, but if it was to heal his sister, he didn't mind too much.

Once Dr. Mario felt that Cory was healed up, he left the infirmary. Corrin sighed in relief with the doctor finally off their back. He intended to tell Master Hand what happened to and finally ask for help about their world, but Cory didn't want that.

"I'll fix the blade…" Cory told him softly. "I have to…if I don't…then Master Hand is going to find out what happened."

"But sis, this might be our chance to get help."

"We don't need. You need to pull yourself together after what we learned about Anankos…"

Corrin didn't want to think about the villain of his world. That man was dangerous and would do anything to kidnap him and return him to his world. Cory had vowed to protect Corrin no matter what, but if she didn't have a sword, then she wouldn't be able to do it efficiently.

"…Alright…but promise me sis that you won't strain yourself. You are not invincible."

"Don't I know it…"

"What?"

"I won't, Corrin. Just make sure to play it off as if nothing happened."

The prince had no choice but to trust his sister. He left her alone once he finished his duties and allowed her to do whatever she wanted. Cory waited until she felt ready to get up and walk out of the infirmary. She needed to find someone who could repair her blade and fast. There were many Smashers in the mansion capable of repairing things, but the Omega Yato was a one of a kind blade that existed in her universe. Two could only exist at one time because Corrin wasn't from the same universe as she was therefore was able to keep his blade. Unlike Corrin's, Cory's blade was weakened in a confrontation with Anankos in her original world and it was shattered. A miracle allowed her blade to be repaired again, but she forgot the words that the person told her when the blade was fixed. Now, she needed to find an alternative way to mend it back together.

Pit was a good choice to go to. She heard how there were many angels in Skyworld who could repair a sword like hers. He would keep it under wrap too. The only problem was that Pit was never in the same place twice due to always being on some mission. He established that when he was working on that secret course for a future mission, and now he was doing something else.

Shulk was a good choice too, but the problem stemmed from how he would probably ask her what happened to her sword. If he didn't like the explanation, he might end up telling Master Hand behind her back.

There were other mechanics too like Luigi and Samus probably had the connections to be able to fix her sword, but she didn't know them too well to be able to trust them with what happened.

One person came to mind not because she could repair it, but she knew that this Smasher knew someone who would most likely repair her blade for a price. Cory sighed as she went back to her room to see if Bayonetta was around. She was going to swallow her pride and ask the Umbra Witch to fix the blade for her.

"Bayonetta, are you in there?"

It was actually a surprise that the raven haired witch was in the room. It was not a surprise that she was taking her sweet time in the bathtub again, but was pretty much finished at this point.

"Yes, dear. What do you need?"

Compared to how she talked to Corrin, Bayonetta tended to speak to Cory in a mocking tone. When she spoke to Corrin, the term "dear" was affectionate. With Cory, she just wanted to rile her up…but something in Cory's heart stirred when she used that term with her.

"I broke my sword. Can you get that bald guy in the Gates of Hell to fix it?"

Bayonetta chuckled in disbelief at the idea that the Omega Yato could be broken. If anything, that sword was breaking other swords because it functioned like a chainsaw. The Umbra Witch had gotten out of the bath and wrapped a towel around herself before she approached the young princess. She didn't fail to notice the blush on her face.

"Like what you see?"

"I see you naked almost every day…" Cory growled. "Will you fix the sword?"

Cory presented the Omega Yato that was in pieces and placed it on her bed. Corrin had made sure to grab every little piece that he could carry and the Nohrian princess was good at being able to keep the pieces hidden when she rushed up to the room she shared with Bayonetta. The Umbra Witch stared at the sword before looking back the younger Smasher and sighed.

"What did you do to break your weapon? I thought it was unbreakable."

"I…I don't know what happened. Corrin and I were attacked in the forest and I blocked an axe and then it broke…"

Bayonetta shook her head. This wasn't enough information and the dragon princess knew it. She still wasn't going to spill the beans even if it was important information.

"I know you're not going to tell me who attacked you and Corrin and why, but I do hope you know that I won't simply say yes because you asked."

Cory knew that but was still glaring at her.

"If you want me to do anything, you better beg. I'm a very busy woman."

A small growl escaped her lips as she refused to beg. Her pride was still getting the best of her even though she needed her sword fixed as soon as possible.

"Is there anything else you want me to do besides beg?" She asked rather timidly.

"Oh? It wouldn't matter if I asked for in exchange for helping you. I simply will take your brother for myself. I'm sure Mr. Moody wouldn't mind a threesome with little old me."

Bayonetta laughed at how red Cory turned at that statement. She always overreacted when it came to her brother even when she was joking…except the Umbra Witch wasn't really joking in a situation like this and they both knew it.

"You are the most difficult roommate I ever had…" The dragon princess snarled.

"Oh, I would think you didn't have any roommates besides your twin."

"Stop mocking me…garhhh! FINE! PLEASE FIX MY SWORD! I DON'T WANT MASTER HAND TO KNOW ABOUT THE ATTACK!"

She was nearly screaming at this point and that meant someone would have heard it outside. The third floor had many Smashers, but she was lucky most of them were out today for them not to hear that. Bayonetta continued to smirk as she went over and patted the dragon princess on the head.

"You need to control that feisty temper of yours. It could get you into trouble one day."

Cory's face was still red, but for a different reason. Bayonetta stopped petting her and went over to pick up the sword. She wondered what Rodin would do to fix something like this. It was nothing anyone has seen before because the universe the Corrin twins were from was sealed off. Not even Master Hand could open a portal to that realm. Until Corrin found a way to defeat the villain, no one besides the Corrin twins could go in or out.

"This might take a couple of days. You'll owe me big time when I finish persuading Rodin."

Cory wondered where Bayonetta was going to put her sword. Apparently, Bayonetta's hair had more uses than giving her clothes and being part of her main attack strings. It didn't matter, Cory just waited for the Umbra Witch to dress herself up before she left the room. As she did, a negative emotion crossed Cory's mind that she desperately wanted to ignore.


Even though Bayonetta promised to find a way to fix the blade, it wouldn't change how angry Cory was. Just the suggestion that the Umbra Witch would take Corrin's heart really pissed her off. In her mind, Corrin shouldn't be with anyone, but he was giving mixed signals toward Cloud and Bayonetta as of late. She would think that the horrible incident inside the Smash simulator (that was Pit's fault) brought Cloud and Corrin closer and putting Bayonetta at an advantage. In her mind, she would hope Cloud would win in this love triangle that was occurring, but it all depended on who made the first move.

To get her mind off the Umbra Witch, Cory decided to search for her friend Robin who was probably reading on the third floor where the lounge was. It was a quiet place in comparison to the second floor that had all the video games. If Robin didn't go to the library to read on her own, she would be on the third floor relaxing. Compared to Rob, she was lazy and didn't like traveling to Smashopolis that much. Then again, Rob would just lock himself up in his room to read that one fantasy novel that almost everyone in the mansion was reading.

"Hey, Robin! What are you doing? Are you studying again?"

Robin sighed as she looked up from her book. "You're rather loud, Cory."

Cory puffed her cheeks. "Is that how you're going to greet me?"

"I'm serious. I'm going to lose my spot in my book if you keep shouting. I keep forgetting though that you and Corrin don't have indoor voices."

The silver haired princess sighed at Robin's witty tone before changing the subject. "So do you want to come with me to Smashopolis and help me pick out a new sword?"

Robin looked at her suspiciously. "Why?"

"Well…uh…I kind of went overboard with my sword so Bayonetta has it now and I still need to train…" Cory realized that she would have to explain to the female tactician eventually but she had a feeling that Robin would pick up on her underlying intentions soon enough. "Err…"

"Fine. I was starting to get bored anyway. If you treat me to lunch, I'll end up buying the sword for you."

"Huh? Really?!"

Robin smirked at Cory's shock. "Of course! Chrom is being stingy at the moment, and I can't get in contact with Henry at the moment, so you'll have to do."

Cory sighed realizing that Robin just went through the list of men that wouldn't pay for the expensive meals for her. Cory was the one of the two twins that saved all the money, so she would be able to afford it unlike Corrin. She had told her younger brother that he needed to nag Cloud or Bayonetta to pay for him even though it didn't seem right for the latter.

"Okay…if you say so…"

Robin shut her book and told Cory she would be heading to her room to get changed. Cory ended up trailing after her not wanting to be left alone in the lounge. The dragon princess observed Robin slowly wondering why Robin was taking her sweet time getting to her room.

"By the way, where were you and Corrin this morning?"

"Training…"

"Oh?"

"…You know how I am. I always got to be training. Sometimes I can't focus in the simulator and after what happened with my brother...he wasn't ready to go back in."

Robin made a noise as if acknowledging Cory's answer. She still wasn't completely convinced though.

The two made it to Robin and Lucina's room at the end of the third floor hallway. Robin told Cory that it would take her five minutes to get changed. Cory snickered at how Robin said she would shower later. While she waited for the older Smasher to get her things, her ears twitched due to someone coming up the stairs and screaming at someone.

"Sun-Wong, why are we hiding this stupid sword in the mansion again?! This is going to get both of us in trouble!"

"Sorry Captain, but sword here is best bet!"

"Why? We could just go to Smash Forest or do it in Skyworld! Why is it so important we do it here?"

"Captain, this sword must be purged. If left alone, consequences big!"

Cory recognized one of the voices as Pit, but she didn't know who the other angel was until he came up the stairs carrying a casket. He was a tall angel brunette with orange wings. She was confused how an angel like him could walk up the stairs with his eyes closed. His tunic was odd in the sense that it looked different from what Pit wore, but similar in the sense that it felt like the outfit was from Pit's region of Skyworld.

"The consequences can't be that bad. Yet…"

"You know what's in sword!"

"Yes but…"

"What are you two talking about?"

Pit jumped seeing the dragon princess in front of her. The taller angel had to step behind the angel captain so he wouldn't fall back down the stairs. Pit glared at how Cory was standing too close to the stairs and nearly gave him a stare.

"W-What? What is it Cory?" He questioned her while glaring at her.

Cory folded her arms not pleased by Pit's attitude. "Do you have a sword in there?"

The orange angel looked at the Nohrian princess and nodded his head earning a growl from Pit.

"Mind if I use it? It would save me the trip from having to buy another one."

"Another one? You already have a chainsaw sword!" Pit shouted. "Why would you want an ugly sword that's in the casket?!"

"I'll be the judge of that. Can I borrow it?"

Pit glanced over to his vice-captain and ordered him to go up the stairs leaving the white angel with the dragon princess.

"Cory, I don't know why you would think that I would just give you this sword we found at the drop of the hat when you have another one."

"My Yatogami is out of commission at the moment and I need a sword similar to it to fool Master Hand. I don't want him to know the sword broke."

Pit rolled his eyes. What was the big deal of her sword breaking? Was it another one of those "unbreakable swords that turned out to be breakable" because if it was then the light angel wanted to facepalm for Cory believing that the sword was indestructible.

"You're better off just buying a sword and painting over it." Pit answered. "This sword is off limits. It's a dangerous sword that is under analysis!" He glared at her when she gave him that look. "Look! I told you the last time it was none of your business and then you nearly got Cloud and your brother killed because you stole something from me!"

"You didn't tell anyone about it though and anyone could have taken it…"

"Stop stealing my stuff Cory! It's obnoxious especially when you know I'm handling dangerous stuff!" The brunette lectured. "Just stay away from this sword too!"

Cory didn't want to hear Pit tell her no. He sighed realizing that he wasn't getting through to her and ended the conversation. He proceeded up the stairs despite Cory shouting at him to lend her the sword for a few days. Fortunately for him, Robin had finished getting ready and was ready to head to Smashopolis.

"Is something wrong Cory?"

Cory couldn't tell Robin that she would have forsaken the lunch "date" if Pit had said yes to her request. She let out a small groan as she mumbled how nothing new happened. Robin already had a planner of all the things she wanted to do with Cory to the dragon princess' dismay. She would have to take things into her own hands later if she wanted to conceal the fact that she messed up earlier on today…


Despite Robin doing her best as a friend in helping Cory buy a sword that looked identical to the Omega Yato, Cory wasn't going to take Pit's rejection face down. She needed a substitute sword that would prove effective in battle and it would only be for a few days so no one would question her or Corrin about her injuries. Corrin would arrange things so she wouldn't have to fight until Bayonetta found a way to fix the sword, so all she needed to do was get a sword that looked like the Omega Yato and hope for the best. Of course, stealing Pit's sword for a few days will have consequences. Pit wasn't as stupid as people made him out to be. He'll put two and two together and know she took it. Cory would just have to find a way to convince Pit to let her borrow the sword. Everything he was complaining about concerning the sword wouldn't matter to her once everything was said and done with.

Pit was terrible at hiding the weapon. Pit should have left it in his room or given it to Palutena. However, he didn't want the Goddess of Light to know he had a dangerous weapon with him and he certainly didn't want Dark Pit exposed to it. This meant that the sword would have to be placed inside of the guest rooms on the fourth floor.

The sword was hidden in a casket underneath one of the beds. It was a miracle that Cory was able to find it seeing how there were so many guest rooms. She sighed wondering what would happen if she got caught now. The only Smashers on the fourth floor were the angel twins so if they saw her sneaking into all the rooms, they would grow suspicious.

"Might as well take the sword and run." Cory thought out loud as she put the rather casket on the bed and opened it. She smirked seeing how shiny the sword was. It reminded her of what the Yatogami would be if it was only powered by the darkness of Nohr. She had heard that the Yatogami was capable of changing its form depending on the dragon that gave it the most strength. "He needs to polish the sword better. Good thing I'm here for that."

When Cory grabbed the hilt of the sword, she flinched feeling negative energy coming out of it. She shivered feeling something was taking over as a dark fog came out of said sword and started to wrap around her hand.

"W-What is this?"

Embrace the dark.

"Huh?!"

The darkness inside of you is strong. You'll do.


Me: TBC with 4911 words.

Li: Why is Pit such an idiot?

Me: Notice whenever he's tasked to watch over items that it goes to hell really fast? He's really bad at that shit even when I wrote during the Brawl days. Notes!

1. The magician is slowly starting to lean toward being a woman. The probability of her being Cinderella AKA the Demon of Winter is very high unless there is a Merlin equivalent added to the Queen's Blade universe.

2. The second incident I bring up hasn't been written yet, but it establishes that Cloud/Corrin is the pairing of this particular timeline which I dub the Magic arc. Be on the lookout for Fire in my Heart.

3. Cory's Yatogami already broke once and that was when she died originally in the Revelations route after Anankos reset Corrin and Cory's timeline to start over for the golden ending. It's not a surprise that it broke again.

4. The reference of Pit not handling cursed weapons that well does come from 50 Ways to Piss Off Ike. It was an old story but in that one, Pit did invite the royal bodyguards to the mansion to talk about ancient items that were finally found. I didn't bring up how they were cursed with powerful demons before the 2000 year war. The sword here is supposed to be identical except there isn't a demon in it as I'll reveal in the next chapter.

5. Also, Sun-Wong has an accent that pretty much has him skip words so there are a lot of sentence fragments as a result. It's not an error on my end.

That's it. Reviews are appreciated. Ja ne!
