So sorry about this chapter coming so late this year! I'm also working on an animaniacs fanfic as well! So I've been busy! I work afternoons and I don't get off until late night! Please excuse my late update on this fanfic! I love all of the children in fates!

Enjoy chapter 5!

The next morning, Shigure could hear the sound of Soleil laughing, she was with Kana and Sophie. Shigure slowly opened his eyes and rubbed them, he yawned and stretched before getting out of his nest to see what was going on. He turned around and noticed that Siegbert and Sophie were gone from their nests.

Dwyer was the only one in the room who had been watching him for the past hour. He grinned at Shigure.

"So you're finally awake? The kids are outside playing." Dwyer stated.

"I know... I can hear them. I might as well watch them." Shigure sighed as he stepped out of the bedroom. As he was heading outside, he could hear the sound of a horse. It wasn't Joseph, but another horse. He noticed a boy with female hair riding across town, he looked as if he was in a panic. He stopped his horse, a girl was riding with him.

"What's going on?" Shigure asked himself. Siegbert who was about to greet him, turned and saw the two children that stopped in front of them. It was Forrest and Nina!

"Hey! What's going on? We were looking all over for you both!" Siegbert called.

Sophie looked up from her game with Kana and Soleil and noticed them. She almost felt tears coming out of her eyes as she ran over and hugged Nina.

"Nina! You're alright! I thought we lost you!" Sophie cried.

"Of course I'm alright. I've been with Forrest when we got attacked and it's getting much worse." Nina explained.

"Yes, the shadow like figures keep on attacking other places here. Our parents might be in very grave danger." Forrest replied.

"No... What about my daddy?" Soleil sniffled, Kana looked at her with worry as he remembered seeing his mother the other day. He felt like crying, his mind was full of worry.

"Will my mama be okay?" Kana looked up at Forrest. Forrest shook his head and replied to him.

"I think they will be fine, we might have to go back into their world and help them." Forrest answered.

"But how? We just can't attack them, can we?" Sophie stepped in.

"Yes we can. I've attacked them with my lance when I went to save both my sister and Kana." Shigure replied, he climbed on his pegasus. Soleil also climbed on Joseph.

"Siegbert, what should we do? This is your call." Nina looked at him for a while. Siegbert started thinking.

"If we go into war with these shadows, it's a huge risk, what if we all die? But we would have to sacrifice our lives, right? Oh I don't know..." Siegbert thought, he looked at Shigure, who nodded at him slowly.

"Shigure, this is actually, your call." Siegbert sighed, this made all of the children gasp. Dwyer finally came outside to see what was happening.

"What's going on? Some kind of a meeting? And no one invited me?" He chuckled.

"No time for jokes, Dwyer, we have trouble." Forrest reminded him.

"Oh? And what's the issue?" Dwyer looked very serious, he wanted to know if the shadows were coming back.

"Those shadows that came here, might be attacking our family." Siegbert answered his question.

"Oh... Well it looks like we better get dressed and head out." Dwyer's gloomy look appeared on his face again.

Everyone agreed and started to prepare, they gathered weapons that they each could use. They were going to try and stop the shadows.

At Vale...

Corrin was fighting more shadows, she was getting tired as she tried to escape a few of them. Xander slashed a few of the shadows away as Leo and Camilla used their rides to ram into most of them. From above Anankos was watching them, he grinned. He was watching Corrin fight, he wanted her to see her true fate as he let out a huge shadow knight that was riding on a shadow horse, it started running up to her fast. Corrin turned and saw the horse headed her way, she stood her ground, but Xander got in the way and protected her. He took massive damage as he was on the ground, bleeding from his right side.

"No! Xander!" Corrin ran over to him.

"C-Corrin... Damn it!" Xander coughed. He looked at his hand as blood covered most of it. He felt dizzy and could not focus.

"It will be alright, Xander, hang in there!" Corrin was holding his head up to her lap. She was trying to keep him awake but a shadow slammed them both. Leo and Camilla noticed what happened as Leo used his lightning attack to send the shadows flying towards Niles and Odin.

"Corrin darling! I'm coming!" Camilla shouted as she flew in to save her, but when Corrin rose, she stopped her dragon from advancing close to her. Corrin's face was covered, a dark aura surrounded her. Her eyes glowed a bright red color. She held out her Yoto towards her in a threatening way. Camilla gasped and rose an arm in from of her and told her dragon to back off.

Corrin ran over to Camilla's dragon and sliced it's neck, injuring it badly. It roared in pain and fell to the ground, it's body went limp. Camilla fell to the ground near the entrance of the castle, she didn't know what to do.

"Darling, please... Why are you attacking me?" Camilla looked sad, she reached out to help Corrin, but the controlled unit attacked her. Camilla felt the Yoto cut her shoulder as blood spilled.

"I will... KILL YOU!" Corrin shouted.

"What? Darling, why are you trying to kill me? You honestly don't want to hurt me do you?" She backed away slowly. Corrin kept advancing towards her until lightning flashed in front of them. Leo was on his horse with his spell book in his hand.

"No more of this!" Leo growled, he looked at Corrin.

"You must be stupid enough if you think you can protect her..." Corrin smirked.

"What's gotten into you?" Leo beckoned Camilla to take her dragon and run. Camilla got his signal and ran to her dragon. She tried to wake it up, but it was too injured to move. Before she could think about dragging it, Xander slammed his horse into her.

"Shit!" Camilla cursed. Xander's eyes were glowing a bright red color as a dark aura surrounded him just like Corrin.

"Not you too..." Camilla sighed, she was weakened by the attacked she received. She tried to get up but she was slammed into the ground. Darkness filled her mind as she became one of them. Anankos grinned and he looked at her.

"You are under my commands now..." Anankos laughed.

Leo looked ahead while fighting Corrin, he saw that Camilla had changed. She was under Anankos's control now. He grumbled something under his breath and slammed his horse right into Corrin. Corrin fell to the ground but quickly got up. She turned into a dragon and grabbed Leo by his legs with her tail and slammed him down. His horse panicked and stopped. It saw that it's owner was going to get hurt. It charged at Corrin, but the dark dragon knocked the horse into the wall.

"Deathsweeper!" Leo called to his horse. Deathsweeper cried out to his owner, but was too weak to continue fighting, it layed there. Looking limp as Leo turned to face Corrin. He was pinned on the ground as Corrin roared in his face and raised a paw to attack him. Leo closed his eyes as his spell book was too far from him to reach it. He allowed the darkness to flow right into him. He felt like he could no longer control his body.

"I win this round..." Anankos chuckled. He disappeared and went over to Hoshido to see what was happening there.

In Hoshido...

Takumi was attacking Ryoma. The shadows finally took over his body as Ryoma was trying to get Takumi back into reality but the unit was not coming back into it.

"Damn it! Why is Takumi attacking us?" Ryoma growled. He felt like he was getting pushed back by something as Takumi slapped him with his bow.

"I will kill you!" Takumi roared. Ryoma blocked most of his attacks while Hinoka and Sakura were looking at each other. Hinoka was also controlled by the darkness as she looked at Sakura.

"Please, don't hurt us Hinoka, you are our sister." Sakura pleaded but she was stabbed by Hinoka's lance.

"You need to shut up!" Hinoka grumbled and stomped her foot on Sakura's chest. Sakura cried out to Ryoma who was still getting himself handed down to his brother.

"Please!" Sakura called.

"No! Sakura!" Ryoma reached out to get her, but it was too late. Sakura was turning dark, the darkness filled her body and her heart. Ryoma couldn't help but allow Takumi to do the same thing. He knew that he couldn't win. Kaden and Kaze were watching what happened as they fought a few shadows from afar.

"It looks like this is it..." Kaden looked at Kaze with worry in his eyes.

"It can't be..." Kaze couldn't help but continue slicing the shadows that approached them. Kaden turned into a fox and leaped at a shadow that was coming at Kaze from behind. The shadow disappeared into thin air. Anankos appeared before him and tackled him to the ground as he summoned a shadow to slam into his heart. The shadow was a knight as it rammed into Kaden's heart. The fox turned evil as it tried to attack Kaze who looked back and saw Kaden come up to him. He dodged him and turned to face him once more.

"Kaden... Why?" Kaze growled and looked back. Two shadows were laughing at him. Kaze turned to face Kaden again who bit his arm.

"Damn it!" Kaze grumbled as he slammed Kaden down with the arm the fox was biting. Kaden barked and chomped his leg. Kaze yelled in agony as Ryoma rushed over to him with his siblings. They all attacked him. Making him turn into an evil unit, forcing him to be controlled by Anankos as well.

"It looks like I win..." Anankos chuckled and left to see where Azura and Laslow were.

Ryoma and the others followed Anankos and met up with Leo and the others.

In Nohr...

Shigure appeared from out of the portal. His mother was on the ground with Laslow and Jakob. They were trying to decide on what they should do.

"Mother!" Shigure called as he and his pegasus flew down to them. Soleil hung onto his brother's side tightly.

"Father? Is mother okay?" Soleil was the first one to climb down from the pegasus.

"She's fine, just a bit worn out. She's hurt..." Laslow breathed.

"What should I do?" Jakob looked at Laslow.

"Go and protect the kids! Those shadows might have gotten them too!" Laslow shouted but he saw Siegbert and the others appear from the portal as well.

"No! This is dangerous! Go back!" Jakob called to them, but Dwyer spoke.

"Father, we can't let you all die while we sit and do nothing... We want to help you." Dwyer gave his father a gloomy look. He really wanted to help out.

"No... You can't, I forbid it!" Jakob got in front of him.

"We can help!" Siegbert argued. He didn't want to leave his parents to die.

"But..." Jakob was about to fight back, but Forrest came up to Siegbert's side and so did Sophie and Nina.

"We want to help." Kana finally stepped in. He was in front of Shigure and Soleil.

"Kana..." Jakob gasped, he knew there was no point in arguing. He nodded and turned to face Shigure.

"If you wish to help. Then let's end this now!" Jakob shouted as he saw a few shadows coming towards them from a distance. Laslow noticed that it was everyone from Hoshido and Vale. Corrin was leading her new army towards them.

"No..." Laslow gasped.

"What's going on?" Azura could barely speak, she was really hurt.

"Mother!" Soleil ran up to her and touched her head, it felt hot.

"She's burning up!" Kana heard her yell. As Corrin's son looked up, his mother and her army was near them.

"Mother? Mother! What are you doing?" Kana was confused.

"Kana, there is something wrong with her. She looks as if something is controlling her!" Shigure figured it out. Jakob rushed in and tried to attack Corrin, but her dark powers pushed him back, injuring him badly.

"Gah! Damn it! Milady! What are you even doing?" Jakob grunted as he got back up to try again, but the same result happened, he was pushed back as he hit Laslow.

"Ah!" Laslow was knocked away a few inches from Azura who was on the ground alone, but Forrest got in the way to protect her as a shadow tried to attack them. Siegbert ran into the battle and attacked a shadow that was riding on a dragon. It was Camilla! She flew down and almost knocked Siegbert down as he dodged the attack and stabbed her dragon's tail. The dragon roared and charged at him again.

"We can't win this alone!" Soleil cried as Sophie leaped in and slashed a shadow that was coming for them both. Shigure and Kana teamed up and attacked Ryoma who was trying to get Azura.

"Someone needs to help mom!" Shigure grunted while trying to stab Ryoma with his lance. Kana attacked the prince from behind as a shadow slammed him. It was Xander! He rode on his horse and started to attack him. Kana got up slowly, but the horse kicked his face hard, sending the young boy flying near a huge rock.

"Kana!" Nina turned back and saw that Kana was badly injured. Jakob saw this and looked back at Azura, he started to drag her to the portal, but more shadows came out of it.

"Shit..." Jakob muttered as Kaden was right behind him as well.

"Now, why don't we fight then?" Kaden growled at Jakob.

"If you want to fight, then I will fight you!" Jakob was ready to stab Kaden with his daggers.

Suddenly, a young female and another young boy came out of the portal as Kaden was about to kill Jakob. She was a little fox girl and looked at Kaden. She was worried about him.

"Father, why?" She whimpered.

"Selkie?" Jakob gasped.

"And it's me!" Kiragi cheerfully entered.

"Leave him alone father! This ends now!" Selkie pouted as she turned into a fox and attacked her own father.

"I don't think you want to mess with me girl!" Kaden bit into her leg. Selkie howled in pain as Kiragi jumped in and shot an arrow at the shadow that was trying to get Azura and Jakob.

"Go! Take her somewhere safe!" Kiragi beckoned the adult unit to get up and leave. Shigure slammed Kaden with his lance from behind him. Kiragi looked back and noticed him.

"Need help?" Shigure asked with a smile.

"Let's do this!" Kiragi started to attack Ryoma, who was trying to kill Soleil with his electric sword. Takumi was about to shoot an arrow at Kana but Forrest and Siegbert teamed up and used their attacks against the archer. Takumi felt the pain as Forrest's lightning attacks stunned him.

"You won't be messing with us any longer!" Forrest growled but he was knocked away by a horse. It was Leo! He rode into the battle and started running into all of the children units. Kana was still on the ground, until Dwyer came, he looked worried.

"Kana! Are you alright! Say something!" Dwyer called him. Kana slowly opened his eyes and muttered his name.

"D-Dwyer?" Kana felt some blood on his right eye where he was kicked.

"Everything will be alright. Let me heal you." Dwyer was about to heal him, but Kana protested.

"I think you should save your healing for someone else." Kana looked at Nina who was also on the ground. Dwyer looked at Nina as he didn't know who to heal now.

"Don't you dare, Dwyer! He's suffered more injuries than me!" Nina shouted at him from where she was lying. But a voice interrupted her.

"Don't be a fool." Sophie had a bucket of water and placed it in front of her.

"We are on the same page." She winked at Nina. Nina smiled at her.

Mean while, Shigure was trying to get rid of Leo and Xander. They ganged up on him while the others were busy fighting the other shadows. He looked back and saw Selkie on the ground, her father was biting her again. Shigure stabbed Xander as his pegasus slammed Leo with his hoof and cried.

Soleil ran in to protect Selkie as she stabbed Kaden with a stick. Laslow threw his sword at her as she looked at her father from afar.

"Stab him!" Laslow called.

"Father, what about you!?" Soleil cried.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine... I'll be okay..." Laslow fell to the ground. Hurt from the attacks he suffered. Corrin was fighting with Siegbert as he tried to slice her, but it wasn't working. She grabbed him by his throat and choked him.

"You think it was wise to go up against me, didn't you?" Corrin growled as she looked into his eyes. Siegbert was trying to escape from her grasp as he could not breathe. Finally a fox leaped on her. It was Selkie! She was able to escape from her father's grasp as she attacked Corrin. Siegbert joined her and they teamed up to get the leader of the new army.

"Corrin, I don't know why you are being so cruel... But this ends now!" Siegbert shouted. Selkie ran along side of him and they both slammed Corrin into the grass. Finally Anankos grumbled. He snapped his fingers as everything turned white. Shigure couldn't hear anything or see anything. He was blinded and so were the others.

When everything turned back to normal, the adult units were gone. The only thing that came to them was a young boy. He was riding on his own dragon.

"Hey, what did I miss?" He flew in. All of the children units noticed that their parents were all gone. The young boy looked at everyone who was looking at him.

"And who are you?" Siegbert wondered.

"It's me! Percy, did you guys forget me or something?" The young kid pouted.

"Oh, Arthur's child." Shigure face palmed.

"I couldn't help?" Percy was about to cry but Sophie came over to him and patted his head.

"You were helpful... You came for us..." Sophie winked at him.

"I was? How? The battle is over..." Percy sighed. He looked around and noticed that Kana's right eye was scratched and Nina's left eye was cut.

"We will get them!" Nina growled.

"But where did they all go?" Soleil wondered, she turned to Shigure for answers.

"I don't know... But our mother is injured and taken to a place were she will suffer..." Shigure muttered, he was angry at Corrin. She took his parents away from them!

"What will we do?" Kiragi asked, he looked at Selkie for an answer but she shook her head and turned back into her normal form.

"I have no idea, but we are at a loss." She pouted, she wanted to find her father and turn him back to normal.

"It looks like we will have to go on a huge adventure and find more friends that will help us." Shigure finally came up with a decision. He patted Joseph's side, the pegasus felt their pain and it licked Selkie's face.

"Hey! Not me!" She placed her hand in front of her face.

"I shall lead this party." Shigure walked ahead of them with his pegasus at his side.

"That's fine with me." Soleil grinned a little bit. Kana felt like he was braver now. He fought to protect his friends but he wanted his mother back.

"Do you think mother will be normal again, soon?" Kana was really scared, he didn't know what to do.

"Yes, she will be normal again but first, we need to find the source of this evil and track it down." Shigure replied.

"And then our parents are free!" Kiragi cheered.

"I hope so..." Siegbert was starting to doubt himself, he felt like an idiot for letting Corrin choke him. Selkie felt bad from him, she walked by his side.

"Everything will be alright..." She purred. Siegbert felt better when she was by his side. Forrest and Dwyer were the last ones to follow the group. They went back into the portal, they were going to save Nohr, Vale and Hoshido by getting their parents back.

Suddenly, Shigure could hear Anankos's voice echo in his mind.

"You will never save them... I won this round and it looks like each kingdom is doomed forever..." Anankos's voice rang in his head.

Shigure growled and climbed on Joseph. Soleil wanted to ride on him too, but he placed his hand in front of her.

"Stay on foot, just in case we get attacked." Shigure told her. Soleil pouted and replied to his statement.

"Fine..." She huffed.

In A Dark Void...

Anankos floated above Corrin and her new army. He chuckled at the sight of her son's injury.

"They lost... You all are mine and the fate rests in their hands, but can they stop me? I don't think so..." He grinned and walked over to Azura. Azura who was injured looked up at him.

"No! This is all wrong! I should have taken you down sooner!" She growled at him but he ignored her comment.

"What good are you? You're not thinking about saving your children are you? You didn't think I wouldn't find out about them?" Anankos was about to attack her when Corrin stopped him.

"Save her as bait, if those young ones find us... They will foil your plot." Corrin warned him.

"Corrin? Why? Why are you working for him?" Azura was now worried, she was about to get up but Anankos attacked her with his dark pulse which sent her flying into a wall.

"It's because... I can't fight along side the weak. I must fight against this world with a stronger army." Corrin answered.

"But you can't! I won't allow this!" Azura was about to fight Corrin but Anankos knocked her back again.

"Why don't you rest for a long time?" Anankos stabbed her. Azura let out a cry as blood splattered everywhere in the void. Laslow's eyes saw what happened but he was controlled, he snorted at his own wife.

"She was too weak to understand our power." Laslow grunted.

Azura opened her eyes slowly, pain was all she felt. She felt like her vision was getting blurry as a figure came up to her. Azura's heart stopped beating as she lied on the ground of the void. She did not survive the attack that Anankos started.

"Now with Azura out of the way. I will rule all of the realms! This world will bow down to me!" Anankos bellowed.

Azura lied there, dying from the attack she received from Anankos's dark magic.

"Even if fate tears us apart... Shigure, Soleil, Siegbert and Kana... Save this world... Please..." Azura's voice echoed in their minds. She wasn't gone forever. Azura was going to guide them. She was going to get them to the void and stop the evil that was among them. The war has only begun...

To be continued...

Wow, this chapter felt long, the fights were long and Azura's fate has been picked. What will happen if Shigure finds out? What will Soleil do? And will Kana be okay after the wound on his eye he earned from Xander's horse kicking him? If you are reading this, feel free to leave a review!
