Chapter 23: Laser Blast from the Past part 1
Sneaking into the enemy's territory was nothing new to Greninja, Doing so was second nature to him when raised by a Warlord whom wanted to destroy his potential competition during his conquest to unite the world… under HIS rule and command.
Blending into the crowd, Finding out where his foe's secret weapon are located, Finding out where their weak points and reporting them back to his master. It was not the easiest of tasks, but for a creature that has the word 'Ninja' in it's name, Infiltration is something that comes naturally for the Water and Dark type Pokémon.
But right now it's different, He has to juggle with not being seen in while defending a child, Babysitting and stealth missions were like Oil and Water, the two of them are difficult, or rather impossible to mix.
There is the fact that kids will often have let their curiosity get the better of them, even ignoring the warnings adults tell them NOT to do. One of the many struggles of parenthood is letting you child be free while making sure they stay safe from harm's way.
"Remember kid, I said it before, but keep slient for now," The Ninja Frog whispered to his small companion in a firm tone to the small Dragon Pokémon following him with her only response being a nod back to the larger Pokémon next to her. "And NO fooling around with any shiny objects or gadgets that may interest you."
"No problem Greninja." whispered the young dragon type Pokémon as she quickly faded into the background. "See, I'm invisible."
'At least she's smart enough to know when to keep her mouth shut.' Thought the Water frog to himself as he then saw her turning invisible, His answer to her being a nod from his head. 'And she can turn invisible due to being a Ghost type helps out as well.'
The two then sneaked their way into the mine shack, avoiding the humanoid crocs entering the various parts of it. Some appear to be on watch duty as they carried weapons and watching out for various intruders that could steal their secret weapons or projects.
Another group was carrying many crates filled to the brim with machine parts, Tools and other equipment as they scampered to diferent part of the mines, rushing towards mine carts that will take them deeper down the caves they are in.
While hiding behind a nearby rock pillar with Dreepy floating behind him, Greninja noticed that the crates were branded with a certain symbol on the side of them.
He saw it many times before under his time as Dharkon's hitman and most recently the events that occurred yesterday. The four angelic wings surrounding the large orb of light painted on the crates was unmistakable to him.
'Guess these crocs made a deal with the empire.' Mentally cursed the Ninja Frog to himself as he looked at the mark of his former group's rival. 'They really have a habit of being in the area we are in right now.'
"So Greninja, What now?" Dreepy questioned to her partner in a soft tone, with some concern flashing in her small eyes. "Do we leave or find out more of why these mean looking guys are up to?"
"Simple, Investigate what those Crocodiles are building," Answered back the Ninja Frog still remaining slient to avoid alerting the kremlings about their current location. "Once we find out what it is, destroy it, then flee from this place."
"And what if can't?" The small green Dragon questioned back as she hovered next to him in concern regarding his idea.
"Find the blueprints to it, Then we get out of here and deliver it to the others." Was Greninja answer to her as he then noticed a blue Kremling wearing a lab coat holding what appears to be blueprints as he walked beside his partner whom was a Green Scaled Kremling wearing a similar Lab coat.
"Ok Bob, Remember to NOT let those Blueprints get lost….. AGAIN!" Said the Green Kremling to his partner named Bob, whom was eyeing the blueprints like a Hawk, Making sure his buffoon of a partner didn't let them out of his sight. "You very well remembered the last time they got lost."
"Oh yeah, it was when our old technician got fired… right?" Said the blue kremling as he was unaware of his more serious partner's face, burning in anger at the former's growing stupidity. "I Remember how the Boss said that he fired him out of the belief that he would betray us, like that kid whom every time he loses a battle, his so-called 'friends' would often say he's weak and left him for dead, Saying he's as useful as a pile of ashes* and-"
"WILL YOU JUST STAY FOCUS ON THE FREAKING TASK ON HAND ALREADY!" Bob's partner yelled in frustration as took (Very rapid) Deep breaths just to force himself to calm down. "Ok Bob, Just remember that we must NOT let those blueprints out of our sight, least we want it to be hacked again by that weasel or our NEW technician."
"Ok then, Ben." Bob answered back to his blue-scaled partner. "Mind finding some super glue to keep these blueprints stuck to my claw?"
"For the last time Bob…. THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT BY KEEPING THEM SAFE!" yelled Ben in pure frustration as he then grabbed his partner by the claw not holding the blueprints and dragged him one of the nearby minecarts. "Just, hold, onto, them, FOR, NOW!"
"Ok," Bob whimpered back in a frighten tone as his partner tossed him into the cart, before jumping in as well, Which he soon pulled the lever which sent him, Ben and the cart down a railway to the deeper parts of the mines.
'So, they got the blueprints for something big,' Thought the Ninja Pokémon as he eavesdropped from his hiding spot behind the rock pillar. 'Well, that makes the target clearer now.'
"Kid, We're following that croc," Greninja replied to Dreepy as he looked back at her with a focused look on his face. "He may have the plans we need."
"But Greninja, He may have them stuck to his claw." The small Dragon Answered back as she looked at where the minecart once stood. "We need to think of something to remove it from him and-"
"Dreepy relax, the blueprints are NOT actually glued onto his claws," Said the older Pokémon to his companion in a net. "He was just suggesting that to his companion."
"So what's the plan sir?" Questioned the wandering Pokémon as she tried her hardest to avoid nudging him out of affection.
"Simple, We ambushed him while his distracted." The Ninja frog answered back as he took another look at the area, making sure the coast was clear. "And no more questions until we find out about our foe's weapon."
The Ghostly dragon Pokémon soon gave a nod back to her friend, as she still remained invisible as the duo quickly left their hiding spot to find the blueprints and a way to distract the guards while they searched for them.
Unaware to the duo however, was a familiar hooded manakete hanging on the roof of the cavern, His Red draconic wings covering him like a bat, a dark smirk appearing on his face as he peeked behind his wings
"Ssssssso thissss issssss Dharkon's Traitor…" Anubis said to himself in a dark tone as he watched the ninja frog Pokémon dashed deeper into the mines. "Interessssssssting…. King K Rool might find thisssss information usssssseful..."
The dusty blond haired Mankete soon flew to another part of the mine, Ready to tell the news to his new partners, his smirk still remaining on his face while flying in the cave. 'As much as I want to test the Ylissean Princess again, Dharkon's traitor will be a decent substitute for now.'

"Ok, so what is the reason you believed that something was on the island was because of your sword?" Banjo questioned Shulk as the blond haired scientist is leading the way to where he's vision was shown. "How does that work?"
"Simple Banjo, It's Anime logic, why else could a sword be a able to do that?" Snarked Kazooie in an uninterested tone tone as she looked back at her friend.
"Hey Kazooie, Mind holding off your rant for now?" Said the Brown bear as hetried to keep up with the young scientist's walking speed. "I know you got a bad experience with anime lately but hold off the rants for now."
"…Fine, But for the love of Rareware, we better not run into any super saiyans while we're here." Said the Bregull, her defiant tone still remaining like leftover slime from an science fair experiment. "That Orange Kung Fu wannabe knucklehead really makes my blood burn as much as Gruntilda and LOG!"
"Well I think we get the picture Kazooie," Banjo answered back to his friend, As he decided to focus his attention onto his earlier question regarding the monado. "So how does your sword work?"
"….It's complicated right now, Said the young blond haired man as he then shot a glance at his own sword, Hanging behind his back. "I haven't really got the chance to see what it is yet."
"Well then, With that news out of the way," Said Kazooie as she gave a glance at Lucina, her draconic tail and scales being what was on her mind right now. "I'm just wondering about your little girlfriend, is a mutant? Like that lizard girl** from that comic book series called Teenage-"
"Well sorry to tell ya this Kazooie, But Lucina isn't Shulk's girlfriend." Interrupted Agumon as he dashed next to his buddy, Looking at the duo with a smirk on his face. "Shulk's REAL girlfriend is Fi-"
"Anyway, To answer your question regarding Lucina, She is a Manakete." Shulk interrupted the conversation by clamping his right hand on Agumon's mouth, preventing him from bringing up Fiora and by extension, her death. "Basically she's a Dragon whom can take on human form."
Silence then fell onto the two animals as they looked back at what the Blond haired scientist has just said to them, a smirk soon formed on Kazooie's face as she turned back to the latter.
"Your in love with her, Right?" Questioned the Breegull, Glee present in her eyes as she looked back at the young scientist. "You're just too shy to admit it."
"Kazooie!" Banjo hissed back in frustration as he turned back to the young monado wielder with guilt in her eyes. "Sorry about that Shulk, Kazooie here can be obsessive with romance like this."
"Well that's ok, I guess." Shulk chuckled back in a nervous tone, his attention soon focusing on the yellowish orange dinosaur walking next to him,
"Agumon, Don't just butt in like that!" he whispered back in frustration.
"Sorry Shulk, But Please don't forget about Fiora!" The Digimon answered back to him, a look of worry appearing in his green slited eyes. "I know you been acting strange around Lucina lately but-"
"Agumon, relax." Said Shulk as he looked back at him in a worried tone, Unaware of Banjo's confused look regarding "I'm not going to forget about Fiora, So don't worry about it."
"… Alright then, But you better not be forgetting about her." Said the Dinosaur in a begrudging tone; His normally happy go lucky face vanishing in favor for a scowl.
"…No problem." Answered back the young Scientist as he turned towards the confused bear and his bregull buddy. "Just forget about what we said earlier ok?"
As Shulk quickly increased his walking speed with Agumon catching up to him, Banjo looked back at Kazooie whom was looking at the monado wielder with a smug look on her face.
"Yup, Blondy's in love with her." The bregull said back to her brown buddy in a smirking tone, her grin as wide as the Chershire cat from Wonderland. "He just can't master what he want to say to her."
"Not now Kazooie," Banjo answered back in a firm tone regarding his friend behavior around Shulk's current relationship problem. "Not now."
"…Fine." The red Bregull answered back to her brown friend in her usual whatever tone, "But he better not do it in another cheesy anime confession, They are so unoriginal..."

Meanwhile with Lucina, Krystal, Diddy and Toon Link, the former was talking with them as they slowly caught up with Shulk's group.
"Ok, So let me get this straight," Diddy asked the older woman as he glanced at her more draconic features. "Your basically a dragon with a human form?"
"Yes I am Diddy," Answered back the sapphire haired manakete as she smiled back to the red cap spider monkey. "But I'm half Human as well."
"So can you transform into your dragon form now?" the Young Kong questioned back to her, Excitement shining in his eyes. "Sounds pretty cool if you ask me."
"Sorry to say this Diddy, But it's something I rather not do right now." Answered back the Princess of Ylisse as she recalled Anubis's words to her. 'The cursssssse must occurred when your sssssuch a young age, Interessssssting….'
'If Anubis is right regarding the curse that my parents have warned me about, then I need to be careful when I could transform into my Dragon form.' The young princess thought to herself as she then suddenly heard the sound of wielding metal and gears in the area***.
"Hey Lucina, Is something wrong?" Krystal asked her new friend as looked back in concern regarding her friend's behavior when she looked around the area with a cautious look on her face.
"I swore I heard something earlier," Answered back the Ylissean Princess as she looked around the area. "It sounded like something was being constructed here, Like a giant warship of sorts."
"A giant warship?" Toon Link questioned the Young princess as a memory from his past resurfaces, A giant ghost ship and an undead crew he encountered in the past being that memory. "If the Empire is truly here then-"
"It appears to be so." Answered the Ylissean manakete as she looked at her smaller companion. "But if the warship was like the one me and Krystal saw the other day, then we must be careful."
"Point taken," The Hylain answered back to her as he then approached Shulk, Agumon, Banjo and Kazooie. "Hey Shulk, are you sure this is the right way?"
"Well, I believe so…." Answered back the young Monado Wielder as he soon noticed a large mineshack in the middle of the Jungle.
"Well there it is," Shulk said to his companions as he then noticed several Green Kremlings guarding the area with bats and other weapons.
What caught the Young Monado wielder's attention more was the presences of the crates that some of them were carrying, the familiar logo he, Toon, Agumon, Krystal and Lucina saw the other day was painted on the crates they were taking into the mind shack.
"The Empire, their here…." Scrowled Shulk as he saw the crest of the Luminary Empire on the crates the humanoid crocs are carrying. "And they appeared to be allied with those crocs…"
"If those guys called Klump and Krusha are here, They will recognized us from earlier." Said Toon Link as the young Hylian looked back at them with Agumon watching closely as well. "We need a plan to distract them before we go in."
"And hopefully, We won't become dinner to them." Agumon answered back, The recent memory of him almost being eaten by the large blue kremling holding him hostage still flashed in his mind as fear crept up to him like a tiger stalking it's prey.
Diddy's expression was not just of fear, but worry as well as he soon saw the crocs guarding the mine shack, Memories of them stealing his buddy's banana hoard, them capturing him a barrel and finally their leader caging him, Tiny, Lankey and Chunky behind bars to distract DK from his biggest plan to rid DK Island for good.
"Hey Diddy, Your worried about something?" Banjo asked his buddy as he developed some concern for him regarding the look of horror on the monkey's face. "It's the kremlings right?"
"…Banjo, It's not just the kremlings I'm concern about," Diddy answered back to the brown bear as he then noticed one krmeling accidentally dropping his crate, Mechincal parts spilling onto the ground like marbles as his comrades laughed at his failuire. "It's just that with the stuff their carrying, I'm worried that they may be rebuilding the… the.."
"Blast-O-Matic?" Kazooie answered for her friend as he looked back at her with a dumfound look. "What? It's either that or that KAOS bot that Dixie fought to save you and DK."
"So what's this Blast-O-Matic you're talking about?" Shulk questioned to Diddy as he and his crewmates looked back at him. "It's must be what those Kremlings are building…. Right?"
"Yup it is…." Diddy answered back with a dreadful look on his face. "I will explain it right now."
The young Spider monkey soon explained the existence of the Blast-O-Matic, Why King K Rool has built it, How he and several of the other Kongs were captured by the Kremling Kommander and how DK not only saved them but aslo destroyed the weapon.
"It's also the last me and DK saw of K Rool before the Snowmads and Tikis came along." Diddy finished off his story as he then looked back at the five treasure hunters and his two buddies. "Well, those frosty freaks and living instruments are not exactly the friendliest batch but better facing them then lizard lips again."
"Ok, At least we know how to disrupted a major part of the empire now." Shulk answered back as he shot a glance at the main entrance to the mine, Kremlings guards looking out for intruders that could sabotage their leader's plan of revenge against his sworn enemies. "The only problem right now is how are we going to get in…."
"Well, we could always try that thing again." Kazooie sneered from her position in Banjo's backpack towards Diddy. "Provided that Tweedledumb and Tweedledimwit are on guard duty."
Diddy's face turned red as a tomato as he looked back at what he just heard from the Bregull as he then cringed at what he consider his greatest failure, A part of him that stuck like moldy gum covered in stinging needles.
"Kazooie, No…. Just No…." Cringed the Spider Monkey in distress, His face still covered in embrassment. "That trick will only work once..."
Before Kazooie could bring up what was her friend's embrassment, She was soon interrupted by the presence of an invisible creature speeding towards Lucina, Barley knocking into her and Banjo.
"Hey watch it!" Snarled the Bregull as the creature soon made itself visible to the group, A small green dragon Pokémon which then turned towards the Ylissean Princess with a worried look on her face.
"Lucina!, Your alright!" Said the small Pokémon as she floated towards her fellow dragon with tears in it's eyes. "Oh thank Arceus that those mean crocs didn't capture you."
"Dreepy, What wrong?" Lucina questioned the small dragon as she looked back at her. "Is Greninja and Captain Falcon alright?"
"Both of them are alright..." The small dragon wheezed out, her face still being quite anxious at something that occurred earlier. "But Greninja... his currently fighting some winged man whose ears are like yours..."
Shock and horror soon appeared on not only Lucina's face, But Shulk's as well. It may be only recently they encountered the man whom Dreepy was talking about.
"Anubis..." Said Lucina in grim tone as her worries are amplified right now, Her new friend was in trouble right now because of this mysterious Manankete that seemed interested in her... or rather her mixed bloodlines.
"Who?" Diddy asked back in concern as he saw the ylissean princess looking back at the mine shack,her right hand already reaching out for her sword.
"I will explain later," Answered back the manakete as she looked back at Dreepy with a firm look on her face. "Dreepy, Where did you exited out of these Mine shack?"
"There's a small cavern just east of where we are..." Answered the small ghostly dragon as she then looked back at the mine. "There aren't many of those crocs near that place so we can sneak in by there."
"Well then, let's go." Lucina answered back as she then turned towards the others with a determined look on her face. 'I can't let Greninja down after what happened recently...'
As the Ylissean manakete soon dashed east to where they are, Dreepy soon followed behind her as the others looked back at them.
"So do we follow her?" Banjo answered back to the sapphire haired woman's friends with a concern look. "Do you think that."
"Well, We won't know until we try." Shulk answered back as he readied his monado while turning towards his teamates. "Your ready for this?"
"Heck yeah!" Agumon said a determined tone (As softly as he could). "I'm ready when you are Shulk!"
"We can only hoped for the best." Krystal answered back as she looked back at her crew-mate. "Let's hope we can save Greninja."
"No problem for us." Toon Link answered back as he held his sword and shield firmly in his hands while looking back at Banjo, Diddy and Kazooie. "You three ready to go?"
"If those Kremlings think they could launched the Blast-O-Matic again... they got the new and improved Banana Slamma to deal with!" the young spider monkey answered back. "Ready to kick some Kremling butt Banjo?"
"No problem Diddy," Said the Brown bear as he gave his buddy a thumbs up. "We raring to go for this!"
"Pity your not like this 24/7 Banjo..." The Breegull grumbled back to her friend as they soon dashed off to where Lucina was heading, One thing was certain on their minds, And that was stopping the Blast-o-Matic from firing on DK island once again.

*Anyone whom been in the Pokémon Fanfic Community should be aware of what the kremling has said. (The Hint is regarding friends, betrayal and ashes.)
**A shout out to Mona Lisa from the TMNT series, also minor headcanon that Kazooie is into cartoons from the 90s (TMNT being one of them) like how Cranky's into 80s stuff.
***Do Manaketes have better hearing then normal people? I'm just curious about it.
Author's note:
This chapter is more dialogue heavy then the last one, So i hope you didn't mind that.
Yeah we got more Kazooie snarking and I hope I didn't make her THAT insensitive, Diddy and Banjo are not as easy to write as her though.
Dreepy gets more moments in this chapter, Yeah hopefully she's not that annoying to you guys. She will get a chance to prove herself in the next chapter.
Greninja Vs Anubis, the result will be seen in the next chapter.
What do you think? Is there anything to improve on? If not see ya!
