Author's Notes:
Hey Guys, MegaSalamence64 here, Welcome back to another Chapter of Dragon Wings of Fate, Last Chapter was more or less warping up Diddy and Agumon's group capture by K Rool, We'll be resuming back to Lucina and Shulk as two new party joins the fray! (For the Heroes that is) They pals of Diddy as one of the hints for they are…..
After this Chapter we'll be shifting back to WOL-DX soon, Again, Rest assured neither story will not be abandoned and will see completion. (Trust me, I know that feeling too well)
Also for anyone curious to know, Dreepy was hit by a tranquilizer dart that can affect Ghost types even if they're invisible so regardless if she turned invisible to avoid it, she still would have been shot.
With that out of the way, Enjoy! ;)

Chapter 44: Showdown on Crocodile Island Part 3
K Rool made his temporary base of Operations Island , The Jungle of the area.
"Diddy, Where are you little buddy! I'm here!" shouted a loud voice associated with Gorilla.
While The Crew of the Falcon are currently dealing with K Rool and his foes, There were others currently seeking him out and to find their friends,
One of them was a fellow Spider monkey like Diddy Kong but this one was female and wearing both a pink beret and Tank top with her blond hair tied in a ponytail, While the other was a large brown gorilla with a red tie that says 'DK' written on it.
The Two of them were friends of Diddy with the pink primate being known as Dixie Kong while the larger Gorilla is named Donkey Kong, or DK for short.
"You know DK, It's odd Diddy told us he'll be investigating any potential Kremling activities with Banjo and Kazooie but they haven't been back yet….." Dixie said back to her Boyfriend's Big Buddy as they two looked from the trees they are currently on right now,
"I know Dix, But with K Rool back after who knows how long, It won't be far out that he, Banjo and Kazooie did found some Kremlings…." Said Donkey Kong as he fears for his Little buddy,
"And if Cranky's Right, Then they managed to find a way to build something like the Blast-O-Matic or-"
DK then paused for a bit, no doubt aware of the last time the Kremlings tried to destroy him, his Family and their island.
Not only was his Golden Banana Horde taken from him but Diddy along with Flunky, Lanky and Dixie's younger sister Tiny Kong were all captured as part of the K-Rool's ultimate revenge scheme against him.
While it was fortunate that with some extra help from his Grandfather Cranky Kong and K Rool's ex-technician Snide (whom was fired out of the Kremling King's Belief he may be a traitor…. which backfired on the Egoistic Croc in the long run), that Him, Diddy and the other Kongs were able to stop him and sent him packing for a long time, DK still had some nightmares of the possibility of him not saving them or K Rool Firing his super weapon on the island.
K Rool and his army was not seen for a long time however but even the threats that plague DK Isle like the Tikis and the Snowmads are like Cupcakes to the Sludge filled layered cake that was the Dreanged Kremling Komander.
So them coming back was like the day when the world's Bananas supply ran as dry as the driest ocean in the world to him, If their planning an attack, they have to stop them.
Before he could dwell on it any further, Dixie quickly gave her Boyfriend's Big Buddy's a comforting pat on the shoulder.
"Hey DK, I Know you're worried about Diddy after what you guys went through when you were held captive by K Rool with his weird Frankenstien like gear but I'm Here, And if Diddy is captured with Banjo and Kazooie….." She answered back to him with a smile.
"We'll show those Kremlings who's boss if they harmed Diddy!"
Upon hearing the words coming out of her mouth, Donkey Kong Relax for a bit before smiling back to Dixie.
"Thanks Dix, you got a point there…" He said back to his little buddy's Girlfriend with a smile. "Besides I been looking to give Lizard Lips the old one-two for what happened when he was both Kaptain K Rool and Baron K Roolenstien,"
"Especially with when me and Diddy were in his Lab for who knows how long…. Specially with that KAOS machine of his…"
Before he could Dwell on it any further, He then saw a gaint ship in the distance, Near a waterfall to be exact.
"Hey Dixie look over there." He said back to his smaller companion as she shot a glance at the ship ahead of them.
"Yup I see it alright…." Dixie said back to him as she gave a nod back to her friend.
"It may not been one of Lizard Lips ships but it may have a clue to where Diddy is….." DK continued as he looked back at it. "But if someone one board does know where he is…. We got a good clue where it may be….."
"So you're suggestion an ambush?" Dixie questioned him with surprise as he looked back a the vessel up ahead.
"Far from it….." DK Suggested back to her with a smirk. "If my instincts are correct, I know a good friend that Mario is friends with from the Smash Alliance thing….."
"And his should be on the ship….Hopefully…." He finished off with a smirk. "Let's go."
He then rushed towards the ship with Dixie following behind, Hopping DK is right about this….

K Rool's Temporary base of Operations, Blast-O-Matic 2.0, Engine Room
"So Sarah, Are you sure our prisoners are nice and comfy in their holding cell?" Said Viper as he looked back at the Ninja of Galeem's Army, Just sometime after delivering the newly caught prisoners to K Rool. "Warm Cell floor, No view of the outside and toilet in the same room as the holding cell?"
"Yes sir, They're loaded up in the dungeon section of the Blast-O-Matic as you and K Rool Commanded….." Said the Ninja as she looked back up to him while he was up on a higher floor with his mount, "They have been given as you put it 'The finest living conditions a prisoner would want.' Is that correct?"
"Well it's almost right…" Said the Hunter turned General as he smirked back to his lackey with a grin like the Cheshire cat when he has met Alice. "But I didn't mean keep them starving till they're both dead and as thin as twigs…."
"I meant keep them alive so we can use them as hostages, Hopefully you did that and not starve them to death at the very least….. Unlike old Scorn face"
"No sir I didn't…." Sarah answered back to him while hiding his sublime tone due to how much Galeem's Father and his army was mocked to no end by her and her own army,
She was descended from one of Master Hand's own army of Ninjas and one of the lucky few that Galeem saw potential in,
While she may have considered her a 'gemstone in the rough' Among other descendents of her Father's army, Those that did not were sent on suicide missions to areas that she knew they won't last long in, Allowing a quick way to install fear in her troop's mind and a waning for the few she has chosen to live.
Sarah quickly proved herself as one of Galeem's best Ninja troops and one of the few that has major connections with her Father's army whom was still alive, But she has to constantly remind herself not to let anger cloud her better judgement to avoid potential execution by her.
Something Viper occasionally tested out every now and then to 'Train' her as much as possible.
"So I Take that Scorny the Stupid is still on your mind?" Viper said back to her with his smirk still present as if it to test her patience right now. "I can understand you're still bothered by the others still seeing Empress Galeem's Pops as a fraud…"
"But for now…. You're not a fraud, at least in MY Book." He continued as Sarah looked back in surprise at what she just heard, No insult, No snide remark, Just… Just… just praise?
It has to be a joke in a way…. Right? Viper is known for being Loyal to Galeem but to his own men, he can be like a Ringmaster to his Copperajahs and Pyroars, A cruel boss to his beasts.
"Heh, your expression says it all, I'm genuinely praising ya," Viper answered back to her with a grin.
"If I WAS being scarastic, I would have given ya the boot already with saying you're stinker then Scorn, but enough talk, you want to known what's in store right now?"
"Not really but what about Lucina Sir?" She questioned back to him with a concern tone, "Our main target is her due to the Curse of Grima and failing Empress Galeem mea-"
"Heh, Fear not, I already got the extra tropes ready after Wolf told me one of them contacted their buddies got killed…." Viper answered back to her with a smirk. "He may have bitten the dust as well but he has gave me a good idea….."
"What idea?" Said Sarah to her current boss as she looked back to him.
"Well I told them that you guys need to weaken Lucina and then Capture her, Without a Pokeball of course….." He answered back to her with a smile of maliciousness.
"And with them rilled up over their comrades's deaths by her….. they'll do just that…..And I made sure to tell NOT to kill her as well as an added bonus."

K Rool's Temporary base of Operations, Trap Arena Room,
"Ok, So things are getting better now….." Shulk said back to his comrades as they are currently dealing with the Kremlings present in the area, "Despite the number of them still Rising up every now and then, They aren't as constant as before so that's a plus."
"I agree Shulk…." Lucina said back to him as while her face was still draconic her mind was slowly getting better, "But I won't count on Wolf calling for back up if the Kremlings present here are still getting help…."
"He must have either sent an SOS himself or someone like Viper did so…." She continued with a worried tone as she looked back at the Krmelings while slashing them with her sword, a bit not as well when she was not in her current state.
"Lucina, Are sure you can continue?" Krystal questioned the Ylissean as she fended off a Kremling by freezing one solid with her staff. "You may want to switch to another weapon if you need to…."
"No Krystal, I'm fine…." Lucina answered back to her friend as she wheezed back to her, "But I felt like it's a smaller batch right now, so my sword would be a good choice right now…."
"I won't say that if I were you…." Greninja said back to her as he took a glance, "Squeezing extra training is fine but don't force yourself when it's too late to switch weapons!"
"You never know what could happen next…"
Lucina then gave a nod back to as she quickly switch to her spell tome while avoiding the Kremlings approaching her,
"Ok, she got a book, That's cute…." Said one of them with a smirk, "What's she's gonna do, Bore us to death by reading?"
He was soon proven wrong by getting an thunder spell electrocuted him to unconsciousness.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" He shouted out in pain as the electicity fired his insides much to his allies' horror.
"Well mental note, Don't mock nerds and reading…." Said one Kremling as he looked back at them.
"Hey Relax, We got our back up coming," said his buddy with a smirk, "When they came, That Dragon would be too weak to attack…..'
"Well you really like to spill the beans do you…." Greninja answered back to the them as they looked back in fear. "Pathetic, Your boss is really a joke at times compared to Bowser….."
"Why you lit-ack!" Said the Kremling as he was soon struck in the heart by the Ninja Frog's Water Shuriken attack.
While Shulk and Lucina cringed slightly at the attack, The latter felt a sense of oddness when she looked back at the foe,
'Ok, It's understandable that in War you it's kill or be killed….' She thought to herself with some cringe at the few times she was forced to kill some in her human form, which she managed to avoid dwelling on it for too Long* by reminding herself of her mothers words where in war, It's Kill or be killed in war and such an action may be risky if you spare an opponent without the leader being killed.
But somehow as a dragon, she didn't mind killing as much, almost like it was like she and her dragon self as different opinions about killing… and mating?
'No Lucina, Don't think of giving into your more 'primal' side now….' The Ylissean snapped back to herself mentally regarding her growing feelings for Shulk, Especially after the lose of his fiancé at the hands of the Luminary empire. 'You may be a dragon with a human form but your primitive side must not show….'
Before she called dwell on it however, the elevator soon opened up to reveal dozens and dozens of more kremlings, each with their own weapons of sort.
"Of course Viper has to sent renenforcements!" Greninja snarled back at the group whom looked back in agreement, No doubt Viper has sent them in place of the now decased Robbie.
"Well we can't take anymore damage to ourselves!" Shulk said back to his friends in a worried tone. "We have to find a way out of here n-"
"Arghhh!" Lucina howled in pain as Shulk and Krystal are the first to noticed her friend in pain, Something Greninja has noticed as well,
'Oh Arceus, Don't tell me that's what I think it is!' He mentally thought to himself as he saw Lucina going on all fours,
'What are you waiting for Lucina…. Do you want a quick way out of this?' Siad the voice in Lucina's mind as it attempted to take her over once more. 'Accept my power now… And save your life from them….'
"I'll Never succumb to you!" Lucina shouted back to the voice in her mind. "I said it before, I'll won't give into you or Grima!'
"…Figures you won't do such a thing but maybe this will change your mind…..' Said the voice in Lucina's mind said back to her as her eyes started to glow Purple, her branded eye also glowing a strange blueish violet hue as well,
"Nrghhhh… ARGHHH!" Said Lucina as she howled in pain at what was currently happening to her, a red gemstone in the room also glowing as well.
"Lucina! What's wrong?" Shulk questioned his friend as she gave one glance at him, Greninja and Krystal.
"Shulk, Get out of the way! Now!" She shouted back to him as the Kremlings looked back at Lucina,
"Hey Guys, You think the Dragoness is having a sezuire?" Questioned one of them as they looked back in curiousity at what is happening. "Like that one episode where the characters go into a computer and their electric pet fired a thunderbolt at a laser and caused sezuires everywhere and-"
"Hey Leo-NERD….. MIND SHUTING UP NOW!" said another Kremling as he glared back at his partner for his anime talk. "Our target is already weakened!"
"Let's capture her and bring her back to the boss!" Said a third with glee in his yellow eyes.
"And we won't botch it like a group of blasting off losers!"
They all soon charged towards Lucina as she then looked back at them, Her expression despite being in pain right now, sparked a certain sense of maliciousness as a large ball of dark energy was forming in her draconic mouth
"SO YOU ALL WANTED A DEATH WISH HUH?" She said back to them with a tone even Greninja felt shaken by when he heard it, "THEN PREPARE TO MEET YOUR END!"
"EXPIRATION!"
Lucina then blasted the Kremlings with a large ball of energy from her mouth the Kremlings whom were too late to consider running away from the attack,
As soon as the ball of Dark Magic made it's way to the massive swarm of Kremlings, They were soon blasted into the afterlife as their bodies were soon consumed by the Blast, their scales, Bones, organs and weapons disintegrating into nothingness in the process.
There wasn't even a scream however as the magic explosion soon temporary blinded the people involved and destroyed the elevator as well.
'Is this, Is this Grima's power?' Greninja Thought to himself as he covered his eyes before the Spell could make contact with the Kremlings.
As soon as the blast was occurring, Lucina felt her face returning back to normal as her draconic features has vanished saved for her elf ears, she soon falling down shortly afterwards.
'Dammit, my power is still not fully returned but mark my words Lucina, You'll will understand your true purpose and bring the world to ruin…..'Said the voice in the Ylissean princess's mind as it faded away.
'You'll become the wings of despair unlike your weak fool of a mother!'
As soon as the voice has left her mind and his vision returned to normal, Shulk quickly rushed towards Lucina with worry on his mind, relief also being present when he saw her face being normal as well, her skin turning pale notwithstanding however.
"Lucina, Are you alright?" He questioned her as she slowly woke back up from what she has just did,
"*Cough* *Cough*, I'm fine Shulk…." She answered back to him as she slowly got back up from the strange draconic attack she has just did. "That voice in my head, Force me to do something strange…"
"You mean the strange magic attack you did just now?" He questioned her back as the Sapphire haired Ylissean gave a nod back while he offered to help her stand up.
"….I don't know how it occurred though…." Lucina continued with a worried look on her face as she saw her pale skin, a potential sigh of things to come.
"I just felt like that voice…. May be Grima herself…"
"Say what now!" Shulk questioned back in horror at she has just said, Krystal also reacting the same as a soleem look fall onto Greninja's face.
"GRIMA!?"

"Master Validar, We have both good and bad news to report to you" Said a solider of Dharkon's small army to the presence of the Fell Manakete in front of him.
"What is it?" Said the Fell Manakete with a glare at him. "And it better be good!"
"Well I'll just give you the good news then, We have several of our members stationed in Grastaea, Ready to strike," Said the Solider with some worry in his tone, no doubt invoking Validar's Wrath is just as bad as Dharkon's. "We also managed to secure another ally in the form of the Draynell Empire….."
"Interesting….." Validar answered back to him with a dark smile as he looked back at him. "Any potential allies to our cause?"
"Yes sir, Save for one of it's royals, We have managed to get them to ally with us…." The Soilder continued with some fear in his tone. "Our Army is growing stronger against Galeem's."
"…. Very well, Report this info back to the others, I have my own business to attend to." Validar answered back to him as the Solider simply gave a nod back to him.
As soon as the Solider has left the room, Validar then noticed his tome glowing a purple light, No doubt either Anubis or Grima contacting him about something
He then opened it up to reveal the pages in it glowing a purple light as well.
"Lady Grima, I take the experiment has failed?" Said the Fell Manakete to his mistress. "I take that my Darling Granddaughter didn't fully succumb to you yet?"
"…. Unfortunately Yes," Grima answered back to her most loyal follower as she was clearly drained from what she has just did recently. "Not only was I not at my fullest but there was something that both helped and interfere with me possession of Lucina…."
"It allowed be to stay in her mind longer then expected but it also ejected me out of her when I forced her to use Expiration….."
"...I take that you needed sometime to recover right?" Validar said back to his mistress whom gave him a nod with a darker glow from his tome. "What about Lucina?"
"Leave her to be…." She answered back to him with some exsthuation in her tone, "Once we have her in where she considers a safe spot, we'll seize the chance to take control of her once more!"
"Very well, I understand…." Validar answered back to her with a smirk. "I keep note of that."
Grima simply gave a nod back, no doubt still drained from not being at full power as the book dissipated it's glow.
'Prefect… things are going all acording to plan…' The Fell Manakete thought to himself, His Grandaughter is just slowly falling into what he has intended her to become.
'Soon Grima… Soon…'

*Keep in mind that unlike Corrin, Chrom, Robin and Lucina don't have any of the infamous 'killing is wrong! even in war!' Personality Corrin has, heck, despite his dorky personality outside of combat/War, Chrom is aware of the whole Killed or Be killed in war thing (and heck, given his anger shortly after Emmeryn's Death, He almost went full Dimitri) And Robin also knows about this despite their amnesia,
Lucina's the only one of Awakening's three main characters that can be an interesting case, Since she's from a time where Grima reigns Supreme and Humans are almost more or less extinct in that time as well, Sparing any of the Risen is way out of the picture since survival is the only thing that matters at that point. Though she likely knew about the Kill or BE killed saying as well unlike Corrin when she joined her Father's army.
Author's Note:
Well, I finally wrapped up that little Kremling Trap Arena Arc, Next chapter after the Next two WOL-DX Chapters will expand on what Lucina did when under Grima's influence. (Her being in a weaken state is due to how shewas sealed by Chrom before Lucina was born in this series)
Nothing much else to say other But what do you think? Is there anything to improve on? If not, see ya! ;)
