Hi everybody and since we had the two newcomers- Robin and Lucina- I'm going to have Robin for these parts and an extra chapter for everybody!

Why, just why me?

And you know what; I might just kick you out if you keep acting that way.

…Am I in the right place?

If you mean to talk with Aurora and me, yep you're supposed to be here.

I'll get this started while you explain the rules to Robin!

Chapter 10: The Crystal Star Ruins Part 2

During their time in the maze, which involved them breaking their way thrown wall after wall since it was getting prettying annoying for the group, Aurora was explaining to Lucina and Robin what was going on and how she was a fan of the two of them. Red noticed even though it was dark and creepy as she said before, Aurora was talking happily to both Newcomers just like with the other heroes and Panda. This was surprising to him, as she was shy and timid but as soon she met some of her favorite characters, she was going off though she paused for a long time a few times. Being timid was one thing Panda mention to her, but for her to be speaking with them without hesitating; it reminded him of the previous heroes a bit. He would have asked her why it was, but he decided to keep his mouth shut as they continued onward.

"…So as I was saying, that's why I decided that you'd make it in instead of Chrom!" Aurora exclaimed hanging out in Lucina's arms after getting tired of walking, "Though I did want Robin in the game regardless despite when people said you won't get in! Also I had predicted more character returning and coming in as well, but now I'm happy!"

"Well that truly is something," Robin replied, "Say; you said that you knew Marth: Do you mean the Hero-King Marth of old?"

"Yep! I knew him pretty well along with Ike, the Radiant Hero of Tellius! They were both in Brawl: Ike was the Newcomer and Marth is a veteran from Melee. Melee had them as Newcomers with another Lord named Roy, which I have never played his game but I'm not a fan of his since I don't know his but from what he was in Awakening… I'm sticking with Marth."

"So they are really here?" Lucina asked.

"Yes they are! And from what I've heard, they are good friends… though I still hope they are…"

"Let me guess; because of Sara?" Robin asked.

"Yeah, unfortunately Sara has them and I hope she hasn't done anything bad to them; I'm really worried about both of them… along with the others as well!"

"From what you've been saying, she seems like an actually threat now, don't you agree Lucina?"

"Yes, but even if she proclaims herself a Goddess, she must have a weakness; both Naga and Grima had a weakness even though we looked up to them as gods," She replied nodding.

"You know, now that I think about it… Have you guys encountered one of Sara's… underlings yet?" Robin asked.

"If you don't include Primids or Sara, then no," Aurora replied.

"Hey, if you are done talking," Red said pointing to the gaping hole that had light shining down into another room, "I think I found the chamber with Charizard."

"Great! Now we can get what came here for and get back to the others," Lucina replied before noticing Robin was griping his sword a bit too hard, "Robin? What's wrong?"

"Something… not right here," He replied taking out an Elwind and Bronze Sword, "I sense an enemy ahead."

"Well, let's get ready; we don't want to get into big trouble," Aurora replied jumping down still holding onto Nabbit's bag, "Say, could I get the enemy in this and bring them back to base? Nabbit can't break this and it seems he gave up."

"Whatever works best," Red replied, "Now, let's go in slowly so we don't get ambushed."

"Alright," Lucina replied holding onto the Falchion.

The group slowly turned the corner and stopped at another cornet as they heard talking as steel clashing against something tough. Robin looked over along with Aurora to check it out. Apparently Zero-Suit Samus and Zelda were fighting the block flying towards them, forming stone Golem as a new face was fighting something over a broken tomb. The creature seemed to be a spirit of some kind with barriers blocking them from getting too close to her. The new face had a darken look and was - to Robin- using some sort of Dark Magic. The fight seemed to be more in the trio's favor than the spirits.

"Aurora," Robin whispered, "Who are the three fighting?"

"Well, the one using magic is Zelda- Princess of Hyrule who uses Magic and holds the Triforce of Wisdom," Aurora replied back softly, "The other woman is Samus, but this is the Zero-Suit version of her with Rocket Boots I guess; she's use her gun along with close combat to increase her speed; not very surprising to me as she's a bounty hunter from outer space. As for the one using the dark magic, I'm as clueless as you, though he looks similar to Marth in some ways, but I can assure you that's not Marth."

"How can you tell that?" Lucina asked.

"The sword' different than in either Heroes of Light and Shadow or Shadow Dragon; that's how I know."

Just then the stone golems had fallen to the floor as they turned to see the mysterious man with his sword pointing to the spirit of… a Manectric? This had Aurora confused along with robin, but they kept their mouths shut as they heard them talking.

"Game's up Mighty," He said, "Surrender now or I'll take you by force."

"Like I'd ever surrender to her!" She yelled, "Argh!"

"Still wanting to fight with those injuries?" Zero-Suit Samus asked, "Sorry, but you'd die before you could win; Shade, capture her before she gets into more trouble."

"Robin, you thinking what I'm thinking?" Aurora asked him and he nodded.

"Don't tell me what to do," he replied as the dark energy surrounded him, "Be sealed within!"

He threw a gem onto the ground as he began to send the dark energy towards Mighty. Just then, a blast of wind flew and shattered the gem without warning! The trio turned around, but Lucina clashed her sword against Zero-Suit Samus as Charizard flew to send Zelda flying. As the two girls were being taken care of, Robin and Aurora went to confront Shade, who had turned around as Mighty was recovering from the strange magic going back to Shade and the weird energy within the tomb.

"You! Just what are you doing?" Aurora asked pointing her sword out.

"Me? Well then little Mawile, you may call me Shade," He replied before seeing Robin, "Ah! What luck I've got today! Robin, if you wish to live in this world, stop joining with the enemies and come with me to meet my master; you won't regret it."

"After what I saw you do to the spirit over there? Not a chance," Robin replied, "Aurora, let's go!"

"Right!"

~Virtuality vs. Reality~

It was decided that Ana would go with Chain Chomp, Yoshi and Pit to go find The Ocarina of Time as she knew the Zelda Games pretty well. Midna found out it was in the Twilight Realm and they'd have to go through certain portals that open and close everyday and if they were late, they might lose that item. Ana didn't pay attention to what the others were getting, but she knew she had to go after The Ocarina of Time if it was the last thing she'd do to save this world. Pit was in the back for whatever reason and the group needed to locate the main portal before sundown, which was getting really close. Midna blessed the ones going with Ana so they wouldn't transform in her home realm, but they all promised not to harm her citizens if it ever came to be.

Next was Bryce with Dark Pit and Toon Link to go find The Seven Chaos Emeralds and The Master Emerald. The location was in some cave in a mountain that you would have seen from miles and miles away. Bryce choose to go there himself even though the girls thought Mi'kal would be better off going there. They agreed and Bryce went off to find out who would go with him. When Rosalina asked him why he wanted to go after those items, but he didn't reply.

Finally, Mi'kal was with Panda, Villager and Phosphora to go get Aurora and Red. Since they knew where to go, Panda insisted that he'd go get Aurora and Mi'kal volunteered to go as well. Phosphora went with them instead of Rosalina, since she insisted that Rosalina stay behind with Mega Man. The group agreed to tell them the plan to split up to find the scared items and for them to go after wither The Fire Emblem or The Crystal Stars.

Once the three groups left, Rosalina folding her hands and looked up to the sky before closing her eyes. Viridi, Midna and Palutena had gone off somewhere as Mega Man came over to her side with Luma flying over.

"Rosalina, what's wrong?" He asked her.

She didn't reply to him, which was odd as she never did that before.

"Rosalina?"

~Virtuality vs. Reality~

Robin's sword clashed against Shade's blade before Aurora came from behind sending copies of swords from behind, causing Shade to teleport to dodge the swords. Robin wasn't attack by the swords as they came back to surround her.

"Seems like my Sword Dance has multiple uses," Aurora said as Shade appeared behind her, "Like this!"

Her swords turned and blocked a few of Shade's attacks before Robin sent Elthunder to blast him away.

"Thanks Robin!"

"Watch your back alright?" Robin asked.

"Fine, just don't think you can win every battle."

As Robin and Aurora charged at Shade, Red had Charizard fighting Zelda and Lucina against Zero-Suit Samus. Zelda was sending her spells to counter Charizard's fire attacks, but was also trying to aim at Red. He was smarter than Zelda as he dodged each one of her spells that were not aimed at Charizard. This actually made her open for more attacks from Charizard than she thought, but Lucina was having a hard time keeping up with Zero-Suit Samus. She didn't know how fast to go against her, but the bounty hunter was tougher than she originally thought. They kept meeting blow to blow without hesitating, but the toll was starting to takes its toll on Lucina. Once Lucina had her guard down, the bounty hunter was about to make her move when a bolt of thunder shoot across, sending her flying into the stone wall. Lucina turned to see the spirit was weakening, but had shot the thunder to help her.

"Thanks," Lucina said to the spirit as she got up to face the hunter, "Now, let's end this!"

The two girls went against one another again as Charizard had finally gotten to actually fight Zelda instead of doing a range game. Red had Charizard attack before noticing Aurora struggling with the bag in her jaws, keeping her from using her extra jaws to fight the Shade guy.

"Aurora! Throw the bag over here!" He yelled dodging another attack from Zelda.

"Are you sure?" She asked helping Robin with her Swords Dance.

"Just do it! You're going to need to fight on even terms than be on handicap!"

She sighed throwing the bag into his arms, which he quickly tied while dodging another attack from Zelda. It was just in time as she noticed that Shade was about to send more of his dark magic at Robin from behind, so she shot out Flash Cannon into the magic and the light was too much, causing it to dispel as Robin countered Shade with his sword before using Arcfire to send him away. Shade was sent back, but getting his footing he sent more of the dark magic after Robin and Aurora. The two side by side and exchange looks.

"Ready Aurora?" Robin asked taking out his Thoron tome.

"On your count Robin," She replied sending her swords forward, shattering after getting hit by some magic.

"Now!"

Shade didn't see it until the Thoron broke through his darkness, which only stung a bit. He didn't notice the incoming Flash Cannon and it hurt like hell to him. Not only was it painful, it sent him flying into the wall as the dark magic was trying to heal him, but it was faltering due to the Flash Cannon's affects still lingering.

"Seems like he can't handle anything light," Aurora said looking at Robin.

"Well, he was using dark magic," Robin replied looking at him, "Though it seems it's trying to heal him…"

"Hey Robin! A little help here?" Lucina yelled striking Zero-Suit Samus again.

"Be right over," He replied as Aurora motioned for him to help her.

He nodded and ran off to help Lucina as she turned back and saw his sword lying on the ground. What caught her attention was the gem-like eye staring right at her. Confused, she touched the gem only to feel a chill crawl up her spine. Shade was out for the count as long as the Flash Cannon's affects were working, so she was fine as she curiously look at how the gem was placed in the sword.

"Odd…" She saw looking at the gem before her jaws charged up to release once more to hit Zelda, "You're welcome Red."

Instead of paying attention to the eye gem, she then noticed a gem shining in some of the rumble. She walked over and picked the amber-colored gem and smiled.

"Oh~! Now this is a pretty one!" She said happily, "I don't care even it's from this world, I love collecting rock!"

"Hey Aurora! Get over here before Red exhausts Charizard," Robin yelled countering the bounty hunter.

"Fine," she said pocketing the gem, "I'll go over there."

Before she did, she grabbed his sword and stabbed hid in his left shoulder and left him alone. He would have yelled, but he was out cold and his magic was trying to heal his wounds and couldn't counter his sword.

"So, where's the portal?" Pit asked as they looking over some big lake, "Midna said the portal would be around here, but I don't see it."

"I smell something odd, but I can't find out its location," Ana replied as the group walked towards the lake's edge.

The Chain Chomp suddenly stopped at the edge as Pit gazed into the lake as Yoshi and Ana went around the lake trying to see where the portal was.

"You know, I wonder if the other Assist Trophies are all right," Pit said after a few minutes of silence, "Knowing Sara, they must be going through Hell…"

The Chain Chomp looked at Pit before Pit looked back at the lake. Just as Ana and Yoshi came back, Chain Chomp lunged at Pit, sending him flying into the lake submerging him in the water. Both ran over in shock and saw the lake's water swirling a bit as piece of black squares flew out of the water.

"The portal!" Yoshi said, "Good job Chain Chomp!"

It barked before jumping in right after Pit, leaving the two behind.

"Are you ready for The Twilight Realm Ana?" Yoshi asked her.

"Well, all I can say is… Adventure!" She yelled jumping into the portal.

Sighing, Yoshi followed her into the Twilight Realm.

"Bryce, how high are we going?" Toon Link asked as they were gong up the mountain, "Please tell me its close."

"It should be close now," Bryce replied burning off the snow around him with his flames,
if you two are having so much trouble, then walk behind me; it will keep you warm and make it easier."

"Well, it doesn't help that you're like twice the distance between us!" Dark Pit yelled, "I should have gone with Ana's group…"

"Then stop complaining and get moving!" Bryce replied.

As Bryce went on, the two looked at each other before back at Bryce fading away into the distance.

"Since when did we agree to going with him?" Toon Link asked Dark Pit.

And soon ends this chapter and now it's time for…

Are you exhausted again?

Aurora, can you please get some rest before you collapse? I don't think we need you unconscious before this story is over.

Ok Robin~ I'll be quick with this one…

And you ignore me completely…

I'm tired ok? Anyway thanks for reading and hope to see you in the next chapter… whenever I get that up…
