Chapter 22: Blade of Naga part 5
"Stay close kid," Greninja answered back to his Green draconic companion as they soon reached the entrance of a large mine shack. "And make sure you don't wander off like a stray Lilipup right now."
"No problem Greninja!" Said the small Dreepy in a chirpy tone as she spun around the older Pokémon for a while. "No problem."
"Just be careful for now kid," The Ninja frog answered back in a firm tone as he looked back at the dragon next to him. "We're about to enter enemy territory right now, so no goofing off."
"Ok Greninja." Said the wandering Pokémon as she stuck by the ninja frog, Despite not knowing much about the world beyond the island she lived in, Dreepy knew that she has be careful when in unknown territory.
The Duo soon entered the mine shack, unaware of the small sunglasses wearing crocodilian spying on them, a dark grin appearing on it's face as it soon dashed down a hole behind it.
'Master K Rool will be pleased to know that the enemies of new partners are heading to our trap.' Thought the crocodile to itself as it dashed further down the hole it was currently in, it's look of sadism still remaining as the two treasure hunters it was spying on are falling into a trap.
The trap of a giant laser canon to be more precise...

Anger was the only thing in Scorn's mind as he looked back at his foes, He was one of the Luminary Empire's best soliders, One of the Empire's top generals, Eliminating so many threats that came to his emperor. Threats, rivals and wild dragons were nothing but training dummies for him.
It was prefect, He was one of his emperor's best men, He was the prime example of his time, He was an inspiration to his fellow soliders under his rule, Nothing went wrong with him.
…Until his wretched daughter took his place on the throne, His prefect world crumbled away like stale crackers as Galeem was determined to bring her father's empire to it's former glory as a domination force of war after as she put it: 'Gone softer then a bowl of chocolate jelly mixed with fur.'
Quickly deciding to rid the empire of her Father's failures, the newly crowned empress quickly found ways to disposed of the older generals either by sending them on suicide missions or sending them on tasks she knew they would fail just to executed them without mercy.
Slowly but surely, Scorn was soon the only one of generals that served Galeem's father to be still alive after she disposed of what she called 'Soliders of my worthless excuse of a father.'
Scorn soon became the laughing stock of her newer generals, often being called the reincarnation of Galeem's father at times. Especially the Hunter promoted general named Viper, Whom takes all the time to see the older man suffer when he failed his tasks.
Desperate to show his Master's daughter his not the trash she often made him out to be, Scorn took up the task of capturing the two royal children of Ylisse that managed to escape them when they invaded their home country. Something Galeem was expecting him to fail despite his experience with capturing and killing dragons.
Despite the fact that the day before yesterday he was able to capture the young prince named Morgan after months and months of sending his men and Bounty hunters to capture him or his sister, His mistress still had deemed him a failure for not bringing the female manakete, The one she wanted the most.
With both his recent failures and demotions, It was like his pride was at stake, He doesn't want to go down in the Empire's history as the lone general whom was the laughing stock of all of them. He wanted to be remembered as Scorn the Slayer, Not Scorn the Stupid.
And the people whom are going down his path of revenge are the fools currently standing in his way. His Snorting already making even the angriest of bulls look like a newborn
"I'm going to TRUCKING KILL YOU ALL!" yelled the deranged second in command, Swing his axe like a cane as he dashed towards his six opponents, "And once I'm done with you, That Blue haired Dragoness is next!"
Scorn's six opponents quickly moved out of the way, With Agumon, and Krystal and Diddy moving to the left side of their deranged foe, Banjo, Kazooie (In her friend's back pack.) and Toon Link dodged in the opposite direction.
"Typically, you guys like dodging so much," Snarled the deranged general as he swung his axe as if it was Thor's hammer "Then prepare to meet Mrs. Choppy's new powahs!"
Scorn then summoned Lighting from his axe as he then swung in a 360 degree angle as an electric shockwave of magic was soon launched from his weapon.
Krystal quickly summoned a force field to protect Her, Agumon and Diddy as Banjo and Kazooie quickly duck towards Toon Link, The Hylian drawing out his shield to protect them both.
The two shields held against their foe's magic blast as he looked back at them, His growling already reaching what one would expect from a rabid attack dog.
"Ok guys be careful! His axe can function like a Levin sword now." Said Toon Link as he looked back at his two companions. "
"A what now?" Questioned the Breegul hiding from her friend's backpack, A scrowl forming on her beak as she looked at her foe's . "It better not be one of those fancy anime weapons, Trust me, The LAST thing I wanted to see is a pretty boy who wields a chainsaw sword who can turn into a flipping drag-"
"Hey, I hate to interrupted you ranting right now Kazooie, But we should get ready for that crazy mad man with the axe." Banjo interrupted his friend as he quickly looked back at the crazed Scorn. "Are you ready?"
"Alright then," Said the red bregull as she rolled her eyes. "I'm ready for whatever Derpy the Deranged has in store for us."
"Good, You two better be careful." Said the Young Hylian as he drew his sword out. "If you guys got any ranged attacks, Use them!"
The duo then nodded back to their new friend with a nod back(Banjo's was more sincere however.) They soon turned back to their berserk foe, his eyes driven with anger.
"Let's do this." Yelled Toon as he held his sword firmly as he, Banjo and Kazooie quickly Dashed towards their foe.
"Good…Good… Come to daddy," Said the snapped ex-general as he spun his axe like it was a baton, "Cause daddy's here to spank you to death…."
As the Black haired berseker then charged towards his foes like a bull, He was unaware of the trio that was behind him.
Agumon quickly fired out a fireball from his jaws at the second in command charging towards his friends, which to his surprised quickly dodged out of the way from the attack.
'Ok that's new….' Thought the Orange Dinosaur to himself as Scorn then focused his attention onto the person whom tried to blast his back. His eyes burning with twisted happiness.
"So lizard, do you remember how you burnt my stache off yesterday?" Scorn sneered at the digimon as he turned towards him, A look of sadism appearing on his face with eyes of greed to boot.
"BECAUSE I VERY BLOODY WELL KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO DR STACHE!" Yelled the ex-general in true berserker fashion as he then swung his axe like Thor's hammer. "And That Mrs. Choppy Would like some fresh lizard flesh for dinner for what you did to him!"
"So prepare to see the depths of the Underwhere! NOW!" Scorn Howled in sadistic delight as the Axe started to spark more lighting around it's edge. "YOU'RE JOINING YOUR FELLOW SCALED VERMIN IN THE SLAUGHTERED HOUSE!"
Before he could go slam his weapon onto the Digimon's skull, He was soon blinded in the eyes by some peanuts, The saltiness from them irritating his eyeballs.
"ARGGH! Me Eyes!" Yelled the black haired warrior as he then started to swing his axe around as if he was in a dense jungle full of vines. "ME EYES!"
"Banjo, Now!" Shouted Diddy to his friend while Scorn was in still in his blinded state.
Banjo then gave a nod back as he quickly took out Kazooie from his backpack as he then held the red breegull like she was a bazooka, excitement fueling her eyes at the moment.
She then fired several blue eggs from her mouth as they splattered onto the blinded the Berserker, One egg even managed to knocked the axe out of his hands.
"Arggh!" Yelled the Deranged ex-general as he tired to find his missing weapon, His snorting has increased even further then before. "Don't Worry Mrs. Choppy, I will save you!"
While he was searching for his missing weapon, Agumon soon saw the aforementioned Axe as he then spat out a fireball at it, Bursting it into bits and ashes.
'Better safe then sorry,' Thought the Dinosaur to himself, Reminding to himself that this match was not about honor, But rather about surivial right now. 'I rather keep my head safe…. As well as help Lucina keep hers as well.'
"Mrs. Choppy!" Said the crazed General with as he then rushed towards where the destroyed axe was located inspite of his blurred vision, quickly picking up the un-burnt bits of the weapon, holding them like a stuffed toy, "Mrs. Choppy, Speak to me! SPEAK TO ME PLEASE!"
"Yup, his officially as delusional as a fake wizard on a reality TV show." Snarked Kazooie as she started at the mad man talking to his destroyed weapon like it was a real person, his tears of overdramtized behavior clearly annoying her. "Mind if I consider laying a grenade egg on him Banjo?"
"Kazooie! Not now!" Banjo answered back to his friend as he gave a glare at her. "He is not even considering trying to fighting back!"
"Well, Once he gets over his delusion, he would be trying to make us into his wall mounts." Said the Breegull as she then looked back towards Agumon, His behavior still on the edge over Scorn almost cracking his skull with his axe. "And besides, Dino boy here did pull a smart one."
Despite the fact that Scorn was down for the count, Banjo didn't feel like it was a good idea to knock him even further.
But Kazooie does have a point, This crazed man did tried to kill them with his axe and nearly shattered their new friend's Skull like an egg. So it's best to leave some warning for him not to bother them again…. Right?
"Alright fine, But Just this once." Said the brown bear to his feathered friend. "But just only the egg, Then we run from here."
"Alright, Was getting bored of kart racing anyway." Said the Breegull as her bear buddy soon turned around, his backpack facing the mourning berserker. "Here it comes!"
Kazooie then laid a green egg that was shaped like a grenade, Quickly landing some distance away from Scorn.
"Hey Guys, We should really leave right now." Diddy answered back to his new friends. "Cause we don't want to be in this guy's way once he snapped out of his berserk mode."
"Well, our friend needs our help now, So let's go." Krystal answered back as Toon Link and Agumon returned the nod back as well, "Shulk should be close by here."
"Well then, let's hurry." Said Diddy to the trio, His expression developing some concern as he shot one more glanced at the weeping Scorn. "I rather not stick around this guy any further."
The others gave a nod back as they quickly left the Delusional general to himself, as he weep over the 'death' of his axe, unaware of the ticking bomb noise next to him.
"Oh why do I not take care of you or Mr. Choppy, WHY!" cried the ex-general in despair as he mourned over the lost of his broken weapon. "I'm going to be eaten by the Garchomps, I'm going down in history as as Scorn the St-"
His delusional state was soon temporary broken by the sound of an about to exploded bomb. He then saw the grenade egg behind him as his normal state of mind soon returned.
"Oh Fud-" was the one word that Scorn was able to utter before he was blasted by the egg and tumbled into the nearby stream, His eyes shutting down faster then a flat battery as he struggled to stay awake.
'I… will… kill… you all…soon….' Was the only thing on the former General's mind as it soon went into sleep mode, his unconscious body floating away in the nearby stream.
High above the skies was a lone Green Noivern, As soon as he saw the body of the knocked out Scorn floating in the river, he simply smirked to himself while flying off into the distance.
'Good Riddance.' Thought the green Dragon to himself as he then flew off to tell his master the good news and what he thought was Scorn's personal demise. 'Now we can get to the big stuff, Laser canon level type of big stuff.'
(****)
"Now the real fight beginssssss." Anubis hissed out to his foe as he flew towards his foe with his lance in hand. "Embrace the beasssssst in you Lucina!"
His foe then counter back with her sword, Doing a rapid slash attack against his lance before she countered back with a fireball attack from her mouth.
"Your ssssssword sssskills may be russssty right now, But your draconic abllities are quite impressive." Anubis answered to his foe, A tone of satisfaction in his voice as he then readied his magic once more. "The Cursssssse must occurred when your sssssuch a young age, Interessssssting…."
The Dusty blond haired Manakete then casted his spells at the sapphire haired manakete bellow him, which she quickly dodged out of the way from. The electric magic from his hand quickly destroying the area she was previously standing on.
'Ok, I can't use my electric tome right now due to him using it as well,' Thought the Ylissean Princess as she looked at her flying foe, His hand still radiating electric magic. 'And unless I sprouted my own wings right now, Swordfighting from here is not the best idea.'
'He really wants to me continue to breathe fire at him.' Thought the ylissean princess as she looked back at her foe, His face showing a dark smirk while he looked at her fangs. 'If his really telling the truth about this curse, Then he must be trying to provoke me even further.'
"Hey Lucina, I got an Idea," Shulk answered back to his friend as he drew out the monado, "If we can bring him down, We can defeat him."
"Well, I do know a solution, But it's a bit risky." Answered back the Sapphire haired Manakete, As she glanced back at her tail spikes with a decisive look. "I need you to distracted him for a while."
"No problem, I can do it." Said the Monado Wielder as he grabbed his sword, Quickly reactivating his aura. "I try to keep him distracted while you prepare whatever you got."
"Thank you Shulk." Lucina answered back as she quickly gave a nod back to her crewmember, "Hopefully it will work."
"Hey Anubis, over here!" Shouted the blond haired scientist as he grabbed looked back at the winged manakete with a dertermined look.
"Ssssssso you chossssse to remain defiant even with the oddsssss againsssssst you…" snarled the winged Manakete as he drew his lance out. "Don't ssssay I warned you!"
Anubis then swoop down towards his foe as he then drew his lance forward, lighting sparking the tip of the weapon.
"Shulk then quickly dashed forwards with his aura with the monado activated, Doing the same as before.
"It'sssssss clear now that you forgotten about my magic blocking your attack you poor fool." The winged manakete answered back in a disappointed tone, His spear pushing against the blond haired scientist weapon. "It appearsssss that it only chosssssen you becausssssse of the fact it'ssss wassssss out of optionsssss at the moment."
"Sorry to burst your bubble, But here's something new!" Shouted the Monado wielder as he pushed his blade forward, struggling to win this game of pushing the blade, Eventually managing to knock the lance out of his hands.
"What the!" Shouted the Winged Manakete in shock at what his foe as did. "You pesssssst!"
While Anubis was distacted by his blond haired foe, Lucina then quickly dashed towards him and slashed him on his right side with Falchion.
"GAH!" Yelled the dusty blond haired solider as he then shot a glare at at the Sapphire haired princess whom struck his back, Knocking him.
"Even after all thisssssss time, Even after the Hero king and first exalt entered the next life, That sword still has power." Hissed out the Purebreed Mankete to his halfbreed counterpart. "Enough to weaken me right now, No bad princessssss, Not bad….."
"Save the flattering for someone who cares," Lucina said to the Dusty blond haired solider of the Luminary Empire in a firm tone, her sword still in her hand. "Tell me where my Family is right now? Before I consider slicing your neck off."
"….Heh, Normally I'm normally one not to talk to my enemiesssssssss, but sssssssssince you're a Manakete like me, I will tell you a hint." Wheezed the older manakete as he slowly got back up, His wings still hanging on his back. "The Icy wassssssstelandssssss furthesssssst north from here, is where you will find them….."
Farewell for now young Princesssssss….." Answered Anubis as he soon soon slammed his spellcasting hand onto the ground, causing him to be surrounded by lighting, Which temporary blinded both Lucina and Shulk. "We sssssshall meet again sssssssoon."
As soon as the light dissipated and the two young sword fighter's vision returned to normal from the blast, They soon saw their foe vanished out of their sight, Leaving a burnt mark on where he last stood.
"….Hey Lucina, Are you alright?" Shulk questioned his friend as he approached her with a worried look, his battle aura have just recently dissipated. "I'm mean, We got a clue of where your family has been taken now, So that's something?"
"I'm fine Shulk," Said the Ylissean Princess in a worried tone at what she has just heard earlier, her eyes burning with worry at Anubis's words regarding her bloodline. "Now I know where they have taken my family it's just that…. What he just mentioned regarding my mixed heritage, I think may be truly be more dragon then human…."
"Don't worry about this curse that guy said right now." The Blond haired man answered back to the young woman nest to him. "We will save your Parents and Brother from the empire."
"Thanks Shulk." Answered back the Ylissean Princess as she gave a weak smile back at him, Her mood temporary lifting up right now. "Now let's go find the others first."
"Well, We don't have to look that far," Said the Young Scientist from Colony 9, His area of sight soon landing on six figure approaching them.
"Well, At least we know Krystal, Toon and Agumon are all right." Said the Sapphire haired manakete with relief, Her attention soon focusing on the backpack carrying bear and the spider monkey next to the trio they are friends with. "Hey Krystal, Whom are they?"
"Well Lucina, These people are Banjo and Diddy." Answered the Blue Vixen as she approached her with a smile on her face. "They helped us out earlier."
"Aw it was nothing," Said the Brown bear as he turned towards the Monado wielder, A smile extending on his furry face as he held his hand to the young scientist. "I know that me and Diddy meet you earlier, but My name's Banjo."
"Well, We didn't get properly introduced due to what happened earlier." Chuckled the young scientist as he shock the bear's hand. "Hey, Where's your friend Kazooie?"
"Right here, Pretty boy." Answered the Breegull as she appeared from her friend's backpack, An unamused look appearing on her face as she stared at the two. "Well, you don't have Super Sayian hair, so your alright in my book."
"Well thanks, I guess..." Shulk answered back in an awkward tone, dumfounded by what the Bregull has just called him.
"Oh by the way, Is your friend alright?" Banjo soon questioned the blond haired scientist with a concern look.
"Well, She is." Said the Blond haired scientist as he then noticed Lucina looking at the duo and Diddy. "Her name's Lucina."
"Well then, Howdy Miss Lucina," said the bear in a nervous tone. "I'm Banjo! And these are buddies Kazooie and Diddy."
"It's nice meeting you miss." answered back the Spider monkey as he looked back at her.
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you three." Said the Sapphire haired Manakete as she quickly banished her current worries in her mind and let out a small smile at the duo. "You're pretty cute you know."
"Well thank you." Chuckled the brown bear as he then looked back with a smile. "You seemed nice."
"Well, You're at least not one of those whiny, annoying princess who needs to have their butts saved 24/7... So you're a pass in my book, just like blondy boy over here." Kazooie answered back with a neutral tone in her voice, Pointing one of her wings at Shulk as she spoke.
"Don't mind her," Banjo answered back as he let out a nervous chuckle at his friend's mouth, "Kazooie can be a little...fowl mouthed at times."
"Well, At least it's better then being stuck arround Mumbo at least." Answered the red Breegull. "Or being stuck in some place called Nohr with Gruntilda's long lost cousin named Ga-"
"I appolgise to interupted you two, But how do you three met Shulk and the others?" questioned the Ylissean princess as she looked back at them.
"Well, We did help Shulk and his friends after they were ambushed by Kremlings," Answered back Diddy as he decided to explain for his two friends. "And then he suddenly got that magic vision thing of his, Ran off to find you and well, You know the rest."
"Well at least your safe buddy." Agumon answered back to Shulk, A small grin appearing on his face as he approached the blond haired scientist with the largest smile on his face. "You're not eaten or BBQ by-"
Before the digimon could bring up how Lucina almost tried to kill him, his buddy and Toon under the belief they were working for the empire. A loud Noise was soon heard from the area, As if a laser has been fired on something or an explosion.
"What was that?" Diddy answered back, A worried look being printed onto his face as he recognised the sound, Memories of a giant fortress and laser canon from a part of his past he never want to hear or see again crawling out of the hole he burry it in. "Hopefully it's not-"
"No time to explain," Said Shulk as he got looked back to west of where he and his friends are. "We got me problems coming our way."
"Another Monado vision I presume?" Toon Link questioned his friend, Noticing the latter's worried tone is present when he talks.
"Yes it is..." Answered the scientist in worry and concern. "We need to get to it ASAP."
"How? Unless you got magical psychic powers (Which for the love of god please don't),Then how to you know where it is?" Kazooie questioned the Blond haired Scientist as her face grow a puzzled look.
"Well, I do have a rough idea where it may be..." answered the Monado Wielder as he looked back at her. "Just follow me for now."
He then soon dashed off deeper into the Jungle with the Monado on his back as Agumon soon followed behind. "Hey Shulk, Don't just run off like that again!"
As the two went deeper into the Jungle, Lucina then looked back at them, A firm look appearing on her face while doing so.
"Let's go you guys." answered back the Ylissean princess as she dashed deeper into the Jungle to help her fellow crewmates. "I know it's unexpected to you guys but we'll talk later."
"...So do we follow them?" Diddy questioned back to the other two treasure hunters with an odd look on his face.
"Well, We better follow them." Toon Link answered back with a firm look as he and Krystal soon followed behind the Sapphire haired manakete. "We'll explain along the way."
Deciding to ask the five treasure hunters when they catch up with them, Diddy and Banjo soon followed behind, The Spider monkey hopping it was not what he think it is.

"Your highness! The Blond man with that mechanical sword and his buddies are heading this way!" Said a Green Kremling to a large Green Kremling wearing a golden body plate, Red cape, A golden crown, His most definitive feature being his blood shot eye as he stroke a small blue crocodile his his claws while in his golden throne.
"So... Even if that man named Anubis warned us about them, they should not be of any major problem!" Hissed the Royal Kremling in anger. "Keep focusing on the Blast-O-Matic 2.0 right n-"
"But King K Rool sir! We have news that Donkey Kong's small buddy is with them," answered back the smaller kremling with fear. "And so is that bear named Banjo!"
"Diddy Kong, DIDDY KONG!" K Rool roared in anger at what he just heard. "ALONG WITH THAT BEAR HIS FRIENDS WITH?"
"Yes sir, Yes it was." Answered the Kremling in fear at his king's anger. "That Hat was unmistakable, Along with the bear's backpack and his shark tooth necklace and-"
"SLIENCE YOU FOOL!" yelled the King of the Kremlings in pure anger at the possibility of even ONE of the Kong's finding out of his Master plan, his little crocodile quickly scampering away from his claw.. "Get ready our defenses now, Make sure they never find out about us before the Blast-O-Matic 2.0 finally is built!"
"Yes sir!" Answered the Kremling as he dashed towards the deeper parts of the mineshack, Fear of his master's anger of his scheme of revenge failing before it could even leave the hangar.
As the Kremling Kommander looked at his wimpering minion fleeing to warn the others about both the appearance of Diddy and Banjo and the need to finished construction of their new weapon. A dark look appearing on his face as he then looked at a dart board.
Said Dart board has a picture of a Large brown Gorrila with a Red tie that has the initials 'DK' on them. ANger fueling his mind the more he looked at it.
'Soon Donkey Kong, Soon you will feel my revenge against you and your pesky family...' Thought the Crocodile as he let out a malicious laugh at his twisted plan. 'Once my new partners install the parts we need to finished it... BYE BYE DK ISLAND!'
Author's note:
Yup, That's the end of our old pal Scorn... For now. Yeah the guy's deranged period was due to his pride being shattered by Galeem deeming him a failure.
Galeem's father is NOT Tabuu btw, It's also not an OC. That's all I'm giving out right now.
Anubis also flees from the fight, Yeah that scene was on the harder scenes to write.
He won't be going full dragon yet, So no full on Manakete vs Manakete fight just yet.
The small scene with Lucina and Banjo is a nod to Kira Vera's Comics which featured a small scene with them. (It's the comic strip that celebrates Banjo and Kazooie coming to Smash Ultimate, Check her work out when you get the chance.)
Also for some of Kazooie's lines in this chapter, Can you guess what they are? (one of them should be pretty obvious, *Cough* Nohr *Cough*)
She's also pretty easy to write as a character. especially for meta references.
Yup K Rool's rebuilding the Blast-o-matic after it's destruction in DK64, Can our heroes stop him before he reactivates it?
What do you think? Is there anything to improve on? If not, See ya!
