Chapter 24: Laser blast from the past part 2
"Sssssso I take that you're the traitor of Dharkon….." Hissed out Anubis as he looked back at his amphibian foe with interest sipping through his voice like a leak from a broken sink. "I thought your sssssssskillsssss may have been rusty to the windssssss of time, but it appears their edgesssssss have been keep well by you…."
"Save the flattering for someone who cares, Anubis" Greninja snarled back as he held one of his water blades in his webbed hands, his scrowl covered by his long tongue. "What are you truly planning right now?"
"My own goalssssss are not of Galeem'sssss foolisssssh idealssss…." Sneered the hooded manakete as he drew his lance out, his smirk covered by his battle worn hood, "King Validar has orders for me to deliver his granddaughter to him."
"So you're planning to betray Galeem, for your true boss?" Greninja answered back with a growl as he readied his other blade, "For what purpose?"
"Ssssimple Greninja, Dessssspite Grima'ssssssss death at the handssss of that wretched Exalt of Naga, She left a way to bring herself back to life." Anubis answered back with a dark tone in his voice. "Sssssssshe left a curssssse onto that traitor Robin that her firsssssstborn child will become her new vessel and finished what she started…."
"Let me guess, your talking about Lucina right?" Greninja answered back with a glare.
"Of coursssssse, my dear friend," Anubis sneered back at his foe as he pointeed his lance towards him. "Sssssssshe's already is developing the markingsssss of our missssssstress."
"You mean the fire breathing, tail and her scaly checks huh?" Greninja answered as he took a stance. "I may have only known her recently but you know there is more to it then I know right?"
"Indeed Greninja, Indeed" His foe answered back with the lance showing dark electric sparks coating it's tip. "It's already fortunate for USSSSSSS that sssssssshe's looksssssss up to her mother way more then her father, King Validar was expecting it to be the other way around."
"But why wasssssssste time on explaining the likessssss of you?" He answered back with a glare," He answered back with an even darker tone then his usual one. "When I could sent you to the depthsssssssss of the underwhere…NOW!"
Anubis then fired a blast of lighting from his lance like a staff casting magic towards his target.
Greninja quickly dodged out of the way as he then fired several shurikens back at his foe.
"*Heh* Predictable," Anubis sneered back as he swung his weapon at the incoming shurikens, quickly dissipating them back into liquid.
"I expected more from one of Dharkon'ssssssss most elite sssssssolidersssssss," He answered back in a disappointed tone, "Jussst usssssssing your ssssssshurikenssssss right now, Paheti-"
He was soon interrupted by the sudden strike of a watery blade from his back.
"Tch…" Snarled the Manakete as he saw his foe striking him on the back. "Why do I forget about your ambusssssssh ssssssssssstrategy?"
"Sorry but I'm ending this now." Greninja answered back as he then spat out a smoke bomb between him and his foe.
The smoke bomb soon covered the area with black smoke as Greninja vanished into thin air to escape.
"Argh!" Anubis snarled back as the smoke slowly started to dissipated from the area, his anger covered by the shadows of his hood.
'Damn it! If Greninja finds out the plans for the Blast-O-Matic 2.0, We're losing a potential alliance and weapon at this rate.' He thought to himself as despite his true loyalty to King Validar, The facade he has to keep with Empress Galeem must remain sharp to prevent her from finding out his true loyalty and by extension potential execution from her.
"Heh let him go for now," Sneered a familiar voice as Anubis soon turned around to see a red haired general approaching him followed by his Noivern.
"Viper sssssssir, Dharkon's traitor has gotten away!" Anubis answered back to his boss. "We need to chasssssssse him down right now before he can tell the others about the Bla-!"
"Heh, Forget him right now." Viper answered back with a smirk. "Thanks to some of the advance technology from Colony 9 and our own resources, The construction of Old Krud Rool's little battleship should be accelerated now."
"I sssssssee," Anubis answered back as he then looked back at Viper with a shrouded look on his face. "Any ssssssigh of Lucina right now?"
"Still interest in the Dragoness I take?" Viper answered back with his usual Devil may care tone, "Relax, She's not a ghost that needs the others remembering her to survive, even if the sooner we capture her for Empress Galeem the better."
"…Fine…." Said the hooded Manakete back with a begrudging tone in his voice due to his true boss's desire to obtain his granddaughter, "Where it's it held?"
"Just somewhere deeper under this old dump." Viper answered back as he jumped his Noivern. "You're ready to hop on?"
"Pressssssssssonally, Now that I revealed my wingsssssss to my current target, I sssssee no reasssssssson to hide them from her now." Anubis answered back as he lifted himself off the ground. "We Fellbloodsssssss chosssssse to embrace our draconic sssssside rather then hide it like thossse foolssss of Naga."
"Suit yourself buddy," Viper answered back in as he rolled his eyes. "Just remember to hide your wings from those who don't know about them."
He and his Noivern soon flew away to another part of the mine as the hooded Manakete stared at them, he soon follow behind afterwards.
'I can feel her presense nearby...' He thought to himself while flying behind Anubis and his Noivern as he then let a smirk under his hood. 'And her aura's starting to becoming more fell blooded then exalted blood….'
'Prefect… How Prefect…., Validar will be pleased to know that his grandaughter's false human blood is slowly vanishing from her body the more she transforms into her true self…..'

"There's our current target alright." Shulk said to his friends as he and looked at the smaller mine entrance they are currently looking at which was guard by two kremlings, one blue and one purple at the moment. "So far it only got two guards right now."
"And fortunately neither of them were the big tubby guy that tried to eat me." Agumon answered back as he shot a glance at the two crocs guarding the entrance, memories of almost becoming lunch to one of them flashing before his eyes. "So what's the plan Shulk?"
"Well, It may not be that many guards but we need to be careful trying to sneak in." Shulk answered back as he then noticed the cliffs near the entrance. "One wrong move and we're done for…."
"So do we bust out you-know-who's Dragon form now?" The Digimon questioned to his buddy as he gave a glance at Lucina. "Cause the faster we destroy that weapon that K Rool guy's building the better-"
"No can do Agumon….." The Ylissean Princess answered back as she looked back at the mine entrance and the kremlings. "If I transform right now, it will just alert them of our presence much faster."
'And if Anubis is working with them, Transforming when his around will just satisfied whatever he wants with me even faster….' She thought to herself with a grim look regarding the manakete working for the Luminary Empire.
"So what? We need to go and save Greninja now!" Agumon answered back as he then felt a tap on his shoulder by Toon Link.
"Lucina does got a point there, Agumon," The Hylian answered back to his smaller companion. "Greninja could be captured and be used as hostage material for us should we try dashing in without a plan."
"So what's the plan you guys have in mind?" Banjo questioned the two swordfighters as he looked back at them. "Any ideas?"
"Well it better not be like that one movie with the lions where me, Banjo and Diddy will be bait for those kremlings." Kazooie growled back as she then imagine an image of her and Banjo lying on a plate with apples in their mouths with Diddy dancing with a grass skirt singing a very ridiculous song just to distract the kremlings soon flooded her mind.
'Oh for the love of all thing N64, NO!' The Bregull thought to herself as she then noticed the other staring at her in disbelief at her expression.
"Is something wrong miss Kazooie?" Dreepy questioned the breegull with a curious look on her face.
"…What?" She questioned her companions in defiance.
"Still bothered by that scene Kazooie?" Banjo questioned his buddy as he and Diddy's expressions were the least shocked about what the breegull has just said.
"Relax, Kazooie, We're not be doing that," Diddy answered back to her with an reassuring tone. "But hopefully it would not involve that OTHER thing again…."
"Relax Diddy, The tape you recorded it was destroyed now…" Banjo answered back to his friend. "Besides, We got others things to worry about…."
"So Diddy, How dumb are those Kremlings?" Shulk questioned the spider monkey as he then looked back at them.
"Well, these guys aren't so tough… or smart," Said Diddy as he then formulated an idea while looking at Agumon. "But I do know an idea…"
"Please tell me his not thinking what I'm thinking right now…." The Digimon grimly said to Shulk.
"Relax Agumon, We're not," He answered back as he then noticed the Book the purple Kremling was reading. "But I do what we can use as bait."
"Hey Toon, Got one of those small chest we picked up recently?" Shulk questioned the blond haired hylian with a firm look.
"Yup, I did," He answered back with a small smile.

"Hey Victor, Why are we are on guard duty again?" The blue kremling questioned his comrade as he was currenty reading a book called 'A thousand ways to win trophies without even trying or pulling a single sweat'.
"Simple Monty you nit wick," Victor snarled back to his companion as he continued to read his book. "Guard duty, we lost the bet against Bob to see who safeguard the blueprints for the new Blast-O-Matic."
"So what gives, Bob's dumb as a rock, K rool got to have more faith in us then him!" Monty countered back as he then looked back at a nearby rock. "Oh sorry Mr. Pebble, I didn't mean to insult you like that!"
"*Sigh* Inbecile….." Victor simply scrowled to himself behind his book as he then noticed something shining in the distance.
"Is that the what I think it is?" the purple kremling said to himself as he then dropped his book and went straight towards the where he aw the light.
"Hey Victor where are you going?" Monty questioned his friend/ 'Only person who can tolerate his so called power to talk to pet rocks' as he noticed him walking deeper into the jungle. "Mr. Pebble was just wanting to introduce you to his new friend 'Crusher the cracker of other rocks'."
Victor was however too attracted to the light he has just seen as he drawn to it like a moth to a flame.
'My dreams have come true, it has to be a trophy laying for me to take!' Thought the kremling to himself. 'And I don't even have to anything!'
He soon saw where the light was shining from as he then noticed a small box laying in front of a small clearing.
"Hey Mum, You said that I won't do anything good?" Victor questioned back in a crazed tone as he went towards the box. "I won't be even getting a single trophy in my life?"
"Well suck it mum!" He continued his crazed monologue as he then picked up the box. "Cause I got a trophy without even lifting a claw!"
He then opened up the box with a look of greed in his eyes. An image of a large shiny metal cup just lying inside the chest filled his deluded mind.
To his shattered surprise and horror, He was greeted with nothing but an empty box with no trophy…. at all.
"WHAT?" He shouted out in an anime like fashion as he then frantically shock the box hopping that a trophy would fall out of it.
"Where is the trophy?" he questioned himself as he was unaware of the sound of loading popguns from the trees, "Where is it?"
"Well how about seeing some stars instead buddy?" Questioned a young voice from the jungle. "You know the ones that appeared when you got hit by something on the head?"
"Hey who said that?" Victor answered back as he looked around, a sense of dread appearing on his face as he then pieced the puzzle together. "Wait, I know that voice."
"Ha ha Dorky Kong, You and Donkules can come out of hiding right now." He laughed out as he threw the empty chest away as he looked for one of his King's sworn enemies. "Cause your not fooling this Cr-"
A sudden pain soon interrupted him as his vision suddenly got blurry as he then spun around like a top.
"Hey when can you Kongs learned to tranquilized oth-Argh the world is spinning faster then the time we launched the Blast-O-Matic 1.0…"
"Ah hahahahahaha…" Sung Victor to himself as he soon then fell like a rock, his mind soon shut down faster then a supercomputer, his mind numbed by whatever has shot him on the back.
Pinned to his back like a dart on a board were several blue and purple spine that pierced through Victor's scales like it was a wyvernslayer. The poison from them was slowly entering his veins.
Lucina then moved out from her hiding spot behind a nearby rock stucture like a feline stalking it's prey, her tail spikes opened out as she watched him closely from a distance.
'Good, his unconscious right now…..' she thought to herself as she then looked back at the tree her friends are hiding in.
"Hey Diddy, Toon Link, Dreepy, It's safe to come out now." Lucina answered back to her three companions as they soon appeared from their hiding spot.
"Well that was pretty cool Lucy," Diddy answered back as he slided down from the tree with his popguns still loaded with peanuts. "But how can you do that tail spike move?"
"Yup, Us dragons are pretty cool Diddy." Dreepy answered back as well. "But Lucina is pretty special in a way."
"Well it's complicated," Lucina answered back to them. "Normally Manaketes like myself cannot used our draconic abilities in our human forms."
"So why can you do it as regular old you?" Diddy questioned the princess in front of him as he then looked at Victor's unconscious body, the tail spikes still stuck to his montionless body. "Are you born special or something to do that?"
Upon hearing Diddy's words regarding her being able to use her tail spikes in her human form. Looks of worry soon flooded Lucina's mind when Diddy mentioned being born special.
While this would normally has a sense of joy for Lucina due to how she looks up to her mother more then her father, A sense of guilt soon flowed in it's place instead.
With the words from Anubis regarding her dragon blood along with a possible reason why her mother fears her more draconic side in the form of both the hooded manakete's interest in her and her grandfather may still be alive, She was worried that her manakete blood was more a curse then a blessing right now.
'No, You can't dwell on that right now!' She snapped back at herself as she quickly banished Anubis's words from her mind.
"Hey Lucina, Something wrong?" Toon Link questioned as he raised an eyebrow at his friend's behavior.
"Oh sorry about that Toon," The Manakete answered back as she looked back at him and Diddy, "We better check on Shulk and the others if they had dealt with the other Kremling guard."
"No problem, Let's go." Toon said back as he and looked back at Diddy, The spider monkey nodding back as well.
"Ready to go Lucina!" Dreepy cheered as she floated next to her new companion. "Let's help Greninja!"
The trio then left the area to check on Shulk's end if they had gotten rid of the other kremling guard, Leaving his comrade behind in the process.

"Empress Galeem, we have good news and bad news for you right now." A Ninja said to her empress while kneeling before her.
"What is it then?" The golden haired empress answered back in a firm tone. "And make it quick, I need to check on my special weapon for little monado wielder soon."
"The good news is that the construction of the Blast-O-Matic 2.0 is going well," The Ninja answered back. "The Kremlings and their leader appreciate the extra help for their new weapon from us."
"Good, once their guard is down, eliminate their leader and take the weapon for ourselves." Galeem answered back as she let out a smirk of satisfaction. "We can use it to help with our invasion of the Mushroom kingdom."
"So what's the bad news?" She questioned back as her smirk was soon replaced by a frown of darkness. "Still no luck on capturing Robin's fell blooded dragoness of an offspring?"
"Worse," the Ninja said back in a fearful tone, her eyes were shaking in fear at her empress's potential fury when she hears what she wanted to say. "We got news that the Ylissean prince Morgan has escape his cage with another manakete named Nah."
Upon hearing that the blue haired prince has just escape with another manakete, Galeem's face developed a large scrowl as she got up from her throne.
She then grabbed the neck of the Ninja as she glared at her with her rage driven eyes.
"Where is that blasted prince now?" She growled back to her minion as she tighten the grip on her neck. "WHERE IS HE?"
"He..He.. he and the manakete named Nah managed to transform into their dragon forms and flew away south from the palace," The ninja wheezed out as she struggled to breath under her mistress's iron grip. "We tried to catch them but they flew away quickly."
Galeem then loosen her grip as she then dropped the Ninja onto the floor.
"Tell the others to search every conner of the Tundra, Make sure you bring me back those dragons, NOW!" She roared at her servant, slaming the staff in her"And make sure Robin doesn't have the same idea with her husband, We need them both still alive along with their kids!"
"Yes my liege," The ninja answered back as she soon left the room in a hurry to alert the others.
As soon as her lackey was out of her sight, Galeem then let a scowl as she looked back at the painting of Grima in her throne room.
'Even if his sister is the one I wanted more due to the curse of Grima, Morgan's cannot get away from here.' She thought to herself as she cast a teleportation spell on herself to her current destination in mind.
'Besides, He still serve a purpose as a hostage for his sister...'
Author's note:
Sorry if the fight between Anubis and Greninja was short, It was just a way to acknowledge Anubis's true loyalties to Validar. (Viper isn't aware of his lackey's true nature btw.)
Yeah the Kremling guard scene was a bit on the filler side but the next chapter will have a bit of focus on Morgan and Nah escaping from the empire. (The Next few chapters will be switching between both Lucina and Morgan's prespectives)
Also can you guess Kazooie's meta reference in this chapter? (And to a lesser extent the origin of the names of the two kremling guards in this chapter?)
What do you think? Is there anything to improve on? If not, See ya! ;)
