Ylisstol - Castle
After done talking to Chrom Lissa turn off the golden plate, a soldier soon approach the princess, reporting on the situation.
"How are things outside ?" Asked Lissa.
"Not good your highness, general Frederick and Cordelia is leading the army, but the enemy is much too strong to defeat." Answered the soldier. "And also there's something else I need to report..."
Ylisse - Outside the Capital
Outside the capital is where the fighting happens, many of the Ylissean soldiers are all defeated, they're not dead, but they're completely beat up, both Frederick and the leader of Pegasus Knight, a red haired woman named Cordelia are both baffled as the entire army is defeated by a single man, preserving the Risen army from engaging in combat.
"I can't believe this...our entire army is defeated by one man !?" Frederick is unable to process what happened.
"Careful Frederick he's not an ordinary enemy !" Exclaimed Cordelia.
Paper Mario pull out a thunder shaped object and hurl it to the sky, a black cloud appeared and numerous lightning strikes from above, forcing Frederick and Cordelia to dodge the random incoming attacks.
As Cordelia narrowly dodges the last lightning she looked forward, she saw a ghostly mushroom creature in front of her as the mushroom monster opens it's mouth and attacked her and her Pegasus, causing Cordelia and her Pegasus to fall down to the ground, luckily she's not that high in the air, but the fall still painful regardless.
As Frederick rushed to save his wife Paper Mario stand in front of him and punch the ground, creating a small shockwave as Frederick's horse panicked, forcing Frederick to calm his horse, Paper Mario seize the chance to pull out a POW block and jumped on it, creating a very brief but extreme earthquake, causing Frederick to fell from his horse.
Paper Mario slowly approached Frederick to finish him off, however something is shining behind him, as he turned around a javelin made of light struck the brainwashed plumber, Paper Mario fell down from the attack which came from Cordelia.
Frederick then grabbed his axe, infused it with wind energy and swings his axe towards Paper Mario, sending a green whirlwind at the plumber, as the whirlwind gets close Paper Mario fold himself into his paper plane form and ride the wind instead of being attacked. Frederick and Cordelia take the chance to get back up.
Paper Mario ride the wind and as the whirlwind move further away, Paper Mario broke free from the whirlwind, he revert back to his humanoid form and return unharmed.
Frederick then swing his axe horizontally to slash Paper Mario, but the 2D plumber dodge it by lying down on the ground. Cordelia rushed to step on Paper Mario, but he grabbed the Pegasus Knight foot and throw her toward Frederick, causing her to crashed to her husband.
Paper Mario got up and pull out a large bomb this time.
"Is this it for us ?" Frederick seemed to lose all hope as he accept his fate.
"If it is, at least we're together, my only regret is that we will never see Severa growing up." Cordelia and Frederick hugged one last time believing this might be the end for them.
As Paper Mario throw the bomb, the bomb did explode, however it immobilized the knights instead rather than killing them. Paper Mario seeing their strength decide to plant a Floro Sprout on their head, turning Frederick and Cordelia into his minions.
"I'm a-done." Said Paper Mario.
"Excellent, my minion." Shadow Queen in Emmeryn's body teleported to where Paper Mario stand, she then used her power to corrupt the entire knights into serving her including Frederick and Cordelia.
However as the knights are pretty much beaten up Paper Mario used the Sweet Feast ability, healing all of the knights from their fatigues and injuries, putting them back in fighting form.
"Hmm with this there will be less resistance to my rule, this body is the perfect vessel for me, it will be a matter of time before the universe bow to my whim." Shadow Queen then used her magic to summon her elite minion, the red dragon Hooktail, and an army of Risen, and also a Pegasus riding figure wearing a black hood.
"How may I serve you my queen ?" Hooktail bowed politely.
"Hooktail I want you and Mario to lead the charge against that city, but don't kill anyone, I need them for my plan." Explained the queen pointing at Ylisstol.
"Your wish is my command, now my Risen army it's time to begin the attack ! Glory to the Shadow Queen !" Hooktail and Paper Mario then lead the Risens towards the capital to begin their invasion.
"This Risen, I really should get some of those for myself, I wonder if those Grimleal cultists willing to work for me, considering their master still stuck on that little girl's body, maybe I should take advantage of the situation." Shadow Queen flashed a sinister smile on her face as she approached the capital city.
Regna Ferox - Outside
Just like in Ylisse not even the soldiers of Regna Ferox stand a chance against Paper Luigi as he's able to single handedly decimate them.
Plegia - Outside
Not even the desert country Plegia is safe from the attack as an army of Risen is led by Grima in Morgan's body, the fell dragon move by levitating soon about to reach the city. Behind him are Algol the priest of Grimleal, several more include a dark greyish skinned looking man with a sinister face wearing a purple robe and a crazy standing hair, there's also another man with muscular build with a bald head and thick beard wearing what it looks like a skull of three horned beast on his shoulders accompanying him.
"How's it feel coming back after all this time general Mustafa ? You're face may not saying anything, but I'm sure on the inside you're very much bursting with joy, after all the day you can exact your vengeance toward Gangrel is at hand." Said Algol to the bald man.
"..." Mustafa still not saying anything.
"So this is suppose to be my granddaughter ?" Questioned Validar.
"If this vessel is what you worms referring to then yes, but she's not a suitable host, I need Robin to regain my power." Replied Grima.
"I assure you lord Grima we will get my son back, and this time he will fulfill the role that was meant for him." Assured Validar showing his loyalty to his malevolent god.
As they got closer, the guards alert the city at the incoming Risen army, soon Plegian soldiers coming out from the city en masse to defend their country.
"Stop right where you are ! This is Plegian territory ! You move another step and we will forced to attack !" Shouted the captain.
"Validar if you would ?" Grima said to the purple robed man.
"Of course, Algol, Mustafa let's do this." Validar teleported himself, Algol, and Mustafa in front of the captain.
As the three of them appeared in front of the captain he's shocked by what he see. "L-lord Validar !? General Mustafa ! It can't be ! Didn't you die !?"
"Yes, but I'm back, and our lord is with us as well." Validar pointed at the floating Morgan's body.
"I'm sorry sir, but the Grimleal is now outlawed by the order of king Gangrel, I can't let you pass !" Exclaimed the captain.
"I see you won't let us through, then we just have to enter by force !" Validar used a dark magic to drain the life force of the captain, siphoning a lot of his life energy, leaving him with very little, he's not dead, but he's in no condition to fight for a while. "Go take a break, you'll be working back for me soon anyway."
Seeing this the rest of the soldiers begin to attack, but Validar summoned the Risen army which protects the three of them and allowing the three to avoid conflict and proceed to enter the city as the Pelgian soldiers fighting the Risen army instead.
Valm - Chon'sin Castle
Chon'sin a small nation in the continent of Valm, a neighbouring continent west of Ylisse, in the past Chon'sin like many other nations in Valm was conquered by Walhart, but after his defeat the nation's regain their independence and begin rebuilding, however with the death of her brother, Say'ri the princess of Chon'sin took over the country as the ruler, however she received unexpected visitor.
"You ! Excellus ! How !? I saw you die in that battle !" Say'ri is at loss for words as she saw her bitter enemy resurfaced.
"Yes, I felled in that battle, but now I'm given a second chance, and I will use this chance to exact my revenge on you !" The hideous cultist then create a teleportation circle and summoned a hooded figure.
"What !? Afraid to face me alone coward !" Say'ri readying her sword to fight.
Excellus retorted in sarcastic tone. "Oh me ? I'm only here for support, he's the one who will be fighting you, now remove your robe !" Ordered Excellus as the hooded figure removed his robe, Say'ri is beyond shocked as she sees the person under the hood.
Ylisstol - Town
The town has become a battlefield now that the remaining Ylissean knights have to fight their comrades due to Shadow Queen corruption, two of their knights Stahl and Sully riding a horse leading the uncorrupted knights against the corrupted knights.
"What's going on ! Why are you fighting us !" Exclaimed Sully after smacking a knight with her spear.
"Sully don't you think they acted strange to you ?" Asked the green knight. "Like they're under someone's control ?"
"Are they ? Well then again I don't have any other explanation why they turned against us en masse." Replied Sully as the two of them continue fighting.
Just then Frederick appeared in front of Stahl and Sully.
"Great ! Frederick you're here, what happened to..." Before Stahl can finished his sentence Frederick charged and thrust his lance at Stahl, but Sully is able to block the attack with her lance.
"Frederick what happened to you !? Aren't we on the same side !?" Yelled Sully, but Frederick didn't reply and continue with another attack. With a closer look Sully noticed a plant sprout on Frederick's head.
Cordelia lead the corrupted Pegasus knights to the castle, bypassing the fighting on the ground below.
Stahl however noticed the plant sprout on Cordelia's head.
Ylisstol - Castle
Lissa ran to her room to grabbed her axe and staff in case the enemy able to enter the castle.
As she walk around the castle someone's hand tapped her shoulder which caused her to freak out as she swings her axe only to immediately stop when she sees who behind her, there's a boy and a girl, the boy is short and dressed like a streotypical wizard, and the girl wearing pink, carrying an umbrella, having blonde and ringlet hair. The boy is seen holding a baby.
"Ricken ! Maribelle ! You two scared me !" Complained the princess.
"Sorry about that, but we just need to find a place to hide." Stated Maribelle.
"Well you come to the wrong place, the capital is under attack, but if you're here does that mean Themis is also under attack ?" Asked Lissa.
"That's the thing, Themis was under attack, but after the Duke sent us away the Risens also left Themis for some reason, could it be we're their target ?" Questioned Ricken which worries everyone.
"Well I can guarantee that Brady will be safe here, we used the nursery room to keep Kjelle, Severa, Laurent, and Owain there ." Lissa then guide her friends to the nursery room.
As the trio about to reach the nursery room they saw the door opened.
"That's weird I swear the door was closed earlier...could it be !" Lissa rushed in to see there's someone inside the room.
They saw Cordelia and several Pegasus knights inside, readying their lance to kill the babies, Lissa screamed at what she sees. "Cordelia !"
Cordelia and the Pegasus knights gets distracted and looked at Lissa's direction.
"Cordelia what are you doing !? Are you trying to kill your own daughter !?" Screamed Ricken.
As Cordelia walked towards the trio Lissa noticed the plant sprout on her head. "That plant sprout ! They got you ! I'm sorry Cordelia, but I have to beat you here !" Lissa used thunder magic at the Pegasus knights, incapacitating them due to their metal armor. The thunder noise however awaken the babies as they begin crying "Ricken ! Use your wind magic to get the babies out of here ! We need to leave this place !"
Ricken nodded and conjure a small but strong wind to carry the babies away, Maribelle then hold Laurent and Severa while Lissa hold Owain and Kjelle and leave the room.
As the trio run away from the nursery room Miriel teleported in from of them, startling the trio.
"Miriel ! You scared us !" Yelled Lissa.
"Apologies your highness, but the situation is dire...I see you have my son with you, for some unknown reason our country is under attack once again, however it seems the attack only happened at the capital, although I'm not sure if elsewhere in the country suffered similar kinds of attack." Explained Miriel.
"Either way we must leave this place because..." Maribelle looked behind as footsteps can be heard, Cordelia and the Pegasus knights chasing after them. "Cordelia is not in her right mind, we saw her trying to kill the babies !"
"What ! How ! No wait there's no time for this ! I'll inquire this matter later." Miriel teleported the four of them and the babies away from Cordelia.
Ylisstol Castle - Balcony
Miriel teleported everyone to the balcony.
"Why are we here ?" Asked Ricken.
"It's the right place to be according to the situation, with the babies crying it's obvious they're going to reveal our location." Explained Miriel.
Lissa and Maribelle looked down as chaos ensues in the town.
"No, why is there another fighting in here ?" Lissa is looking very distraught as Maribelle attempt to comfort her.
Unfortunately for them they don't have time to worry about the town as there's a figure near them, and the crying babies gained her attention. Hooktail coming out from the room, revealing herself to Lissa, Ricken, Maribelle, and Miriel.
"Are those babies I hear ? I heard they make excellent lunch, won't you hand them over to me.." Hooktail speaking in a mocking tone.
"What ! A dragon and can talk ! And flat as a paper !?" Ricken is baffled at the sight of Hooktail.
"There's no place for you to run, by the queen's order you all will be eliminated right here and now." Hooktail charged at the heroes, however Miriel create a barrier that stop the dragon in her tracks.
Unbeknowst to them the hooded Pegasus rider is flying above them, the figure pull out a javelin, aiming it at Lissa and then threw the weapon.
Ricken quickly noticed and shouted. "Lissa watch out !" Lissa looked behind, but she's to stunned to move, as Ricken about to counter the javelin with his magic a pitch black portal formed in front of Lissa with Chrom coming out from it and smack the javelin away with his sword.
Lissa smiled with joy seeing her brother. "Chrom you're back !"
"Yes, and just in time too." Replied the king.
Earlier...
Halberd - Deck
The Halberd has reached the skies of Ylisse, All it's left for Chrom is to reach the capital and rescue his sister.
"Alright here's what do Chrom, Mario, Lucina, Bowser, Mr. GW, Jigglypuff, Sonic, Taranza, Paper Peach, and I will return to Ylisse, while Luigi, Lon'qu, Mewtwo, Ganondorf, Cloud, Kirby, Rosalina, and Flavia will go to Ferox to confront his paper self." Stated Robin.
"Robin, I think it's time you visit your family, you haven't return to them for a while now." Chrom tapping his best friend shoulder.
"Well yes, but.." before Robin can say anything Chrom shuts him up.
"What if they're in danger, you can leave this matter to Lucina and me." Assured Chrom
"You're right Chrom, I will need to visit them." Robin relented to Chrom's suggestion.
"So how are we going to get off this ship, I can jumped down no problem, but for the others..." Cloud looking at everyone else.
"About that." Meta Knight pull out the pokeballs and unleash Darkrai, Cresselia, and Moltres. "Red told me Darkrai can create portals that can go anywhere."
("Leave that to me, I can create portals so this ship doesn't have to land.") Said Darkrai.
"Wait ! If what were dealing with is the Shadow Queen, then her minions won't be far behind." Said Paper Peach.
"That's right ! Those who call themselves the Shadow Sirens, Beldam, Marilyn, and Vivian right." Chrom remembered the shadowy beings.
"Correct, but there's also the three dragon siblings Hooktail, Gloomtail, and Bonetail. I wonder if Shadow Queen going to order all of them to attack your country." Stated Paper Peach.
"Well we have enough manpower to sent to both Ylisse and Ferox, so with our strength combined there's nothing that can stop us." Said Robin being optimistic.
"There's a town down below ! Is that our destination ?" Asked Sailor Dee looking at the monitor.
Chrom also take a look and confirmed Sailor Dee question. "Yes that's Ylisse my country." Chrom looked further to see that his country is up in flames. "What the ! Has things gone that far !?"
The Halberd then pass by the castle where Chrom see his sister Lissa in the balcony and the hooded Pegasus Knight above them readying the javelin.
"Bring me there !" Shouted Chrom wanting to save his sister.
Darkrai then create a portal which Chrom entered.
"We need to help those down there !" Exclaimed Lucina wanting to save the people at the town below.
"I'll take you there." Offered Taranza as he teleported the team assigned to Ylisse.
Afterwards the Halberd set course to Regna Ferox.
Ylisstol Castle - Balcony
Chrom charged his Falchion with electricity and shoot an electric energy at the hooded Pegasus Knight, the Pegasus Knight in panic able to dodge the incoming attack, however thanks to the surprise movement the hood of the robe fell down, revealing a woman with light blue hair styles in a bun.
"It can't be ! Phila !" Shouted Lissa who can't believe her eyes as Phila was killed when Emmeryn was taken hostage at Plegia years ago.
"Lissa ! You and everyone else enter that dark portal ! It will take you to someplace safe !" Ordered Chrom pointing at the swirling dark portal.
Lissa is still skeptical, but she at least knows she can trust her brother, heeding his command Lissa entered the portal, Ricken, Maribelle, and Miriel then follow suit, Chrom also entered the portal. As Phila and Hooktail about to give chase the portal disappears, preventing Phila and Hooktail from following them.
"The portal closed and I can't go after them, well it's better this way, that accursed Thanatos, forcing me to point my blade to my country." Phila angrily cursing Thanatos for her predicament.
"Speak for yourself, how am I gonna explain this to the queen." Unlike Phila Hooktail is disappointed for failing her mission.
Ylisstol - Town
Taranza teleported the team to the castle town, and now that the heroes have arrived the time to turn the tide has arrived.
However as Lucina about to take action she noticed the Ylissean army fighting one another. "Wait stop ! Why is the Ylissean army fighting one another !" Lucina stopped her teammates from taking action.
"What ! Then we can't just charge in blindly." Commented Sonic.
("I can sense powerful malevolent energy corrupting some of these soldiers, someone must've used some kind of dark power to enslave them.") Mewtwo revealed the cause of the infighting.
"Then we'll use a way to end this debacle faster ! Jigglypuff start singing !" Lucina commanded Jigglypuff to sing while she and her allies covered their ears. Jigglypuff then begin singing, the soldiers stopped fighting to look at the source of the song, but in the matter of seconds the soldiers and probably the entire citizens begin feeling drowsy, and one by one they all fell asleep, of course that includes the horses and Pegasi, the ones who didn't fall asleep are the Risen army because undead don't need sleep.
With the Ylissean army fell asleep Lucina lead the charge against the Risen army, they do have to watch their step though so they don't trample the sleeping soldiers by accident, especially Bowser.
Lucina combining her swordplay with graceful movements able to strike down the enemy and dodge every incoming attacks.
Sonic then showed up in front of an axe wielding Risen and proceed to mock it. "Hey tall, dark, and ugly bet you can't hit me with that rusty axe of yours." The Risen swing it's axe downward only for Sonic to dodge it. "Miss me !" The Risen strike again. "Too slow." The Risen kept on hitting, but Sonic is moving too fast.
Deciding to end things quickly, he curled into a ball and perform a Spin Attack at the Risen, striking it's stomach, the other Risen turned their attention to Sonic in attempt to kill him, however Sonic just run around them in circles, creating a tornado which send them flying. Sonic the jump and perform Homing Attack on the airborne Risen, the powerful impact tore their bodies apart, killing all of them.
Bowser is facing against an army of Risen, but they're no match for the Koopa king as her burn them all to ashes with his fire breath.
Mr. GW transform into his giant octopus form, and grabbed any Risen he can with his tentacles, he proceed to break their spine by constricting them, sending them hurling to the ground or smash the Risens with his tentacles.
Mario also used his fire powers to burn the Risens to ashes, he generate a stream of fire from his hands and swing his hands left to right so he can destroy as many Risen as he can.
Taranza use the Queen Phantom technique, a dark magical construct that looks like Queen Sectonia appeared above him and bombarded the Risens with lightnings, destroying a huge number of them.
Jigglypuff sucking a lot of air to inflate itself making itself huge, the heroes looked at this and proceed to move out of Jigglypuff way as it then proceed to use Hyper Voice, the shockwave devastate the Remaining Risens, finally eliminating the Risen army.
"Thank the gods we were able to eliminate them all, now we need to search the town for the remaining Risens if there's any." Lucina looked around. "Well that settles the problem here then." However the problem is far from finished as Shadow Queen make an appearance.
The sky turned dark all of a sudden, a vortex of dark energy swirl together in front of the heroes, and a woman is coming out from it.
"Aunt Emmeryn ! No you're the Shadow Queen am I right !" Exclaimed Lucina.
"Indeed I am, your aunt possess a pure heart, which is perfect as my vessel, I watched all your action, it's incredible how you're able to exterminate these Risens in such a short time, however I don't have time to play with you, hmm...?" Shadow Queen looked at Mario. "That can't be ? I have you under my control !? Mario to me !" Shadow Queen used her magic to summoned Paper Mario, realizing there's two Mario in her presence. "I see so this is the alternate world, no matter, Mario I order you to finish them !" Shadow Queen ordered Paper Mario to fight the heroes as she teleported away.
As Paper Mario about to fight Lucina noticed Frederick is among the soldiers fell asleep, and he had that same plant sprout on Paper Mario's head.
"Frederick ?" As Lucina about to approach him Paper Mario throw a ghost shroom at her, the ghostly mushroom about to attack Lucina, but Taranza destroyed it with his energy ball.
"Mario I think they have Frederick under his control !" Shouted Lucina.
"Then go a-check on your companions, I'll handle a-my paper self !" With that said Lucina goes to check on her war companions, Sonic, and Taranza is joining her.
At the balcony Hooktail looked down to see the Risen army is gone, not to mention the Ylissean soldiers lie down on the floor, she then noticed that there's two Mario about to fight each other. "What ? Two Mario's ? I may failed to kill those babies, but at least fight those who oppose the queen, you ! Phila ! You'll be assisting me !" Hooktail jumped down from the balcony, with Phila having no choice but to assist her in battle.
Skies of Regna Ferox
The Halberd has finally reached Ferox, and since the place located further north the climate is much colder compared to Ylisse, Darkrai made another portal which the heroes entered.
Once they entered the second portal Chrom returned with his family and friends and the first portal closes.
Regna Ferox - Outskirts
A portal formed in the snowy woods close to the battlefield, and the heroes emerge from said portal.
"It's really cold here." Kirby is shivering.
"Many of us are fine with this weather, but I suppose it won't hurt to warm things up a bit." Commented Rosalina.
("Well then, let's add another help.") Mewtwo pull out Moltres pokeball and unleashed the legendary bird. ("Now let's get them.")
"Everyone ! Follow me ! Charge !" Flavia led the heroes to fight the Risen army.
Flavia entered the battlefield and start beheading Risens left and right.
Lon'qu also did the same with his swordplay.
Mewtwo lift a huge number of Risens using it's telekinesis and cut them all in half using Psycho Cut.
A sword wielding Risen abut to slash Kirby, but the alien devoured the undead, and Kirby turned into Sword Kirby. He proceed to cutting down Risens left and right.
Luigi fried the Risens with his lightning power, he generates stream of lightning from his hands and electrocute any Risen near him.
Ganondorf fire powerful energy beam from his hand and decimating the Risens.
Cloud also cutting down Risens here and there with the Buster Sword, he then used Meteorain to destroy a huge number of Risens.
Rosalina create a gravity field that pulled the Risens together as it crushes them.
Lastly Moltres spewing fire to the battlefield from the sky above similar to those kind of dragons that burning villages. With their cooperation the Risens are all eliminated.
"Looks like we did it." Flavia unsheathed her sword as she approached the Feroxi soldiers.
One of the soldier, a short haired woman in large armor approached the Khan. "Khan Flavia you've returned to us."
"We're just glad we arrived on time Raimi, how is the situation ?" Flavia asked her subordinate.
"It's all better now that you're back, hmm..." Raimi take a look at Luigi. "You ! What is your goal attacking our country !" Raimi incensed as she walked towards Luigi wanting to attack the plumber.
Luigi got scared and hide behind Mewtwo.
"Stop Raimi ! He's not the one attacking our country !" Flavia stopped her subordinate from approaching Luigi. "It's someone else that looked like him ! Come to think of it where is that look alike ? Did he got destroyed along with the Risens ?" Flavia looked around to see no signs of Paper Luigi.
("I can't seem to sense him, I wonder if we really did destroy him by accident.") Pondered Mewtwo.
"Nor did I." Added Rosalina.
"What the ! I hear voices in my head !" Raimi panicked by the telepathy.
"Calm down, my new allies possess incredible powers, but we can talk about that later, take me to Basilio." Said Flavia.
"Of course, right this way." Raimi escorted the heroes back to the castle with the soldiers follow suit. Ganondorf put Moltres back inside the pokeball.
Regna Ferox Castle - Throne Room
Inside the throne room Basilio is badly hurt from the fighting earlier, with the doctors patching up his injuries, with Olivia helping. Also with them there's also an orange haired thief.
"Thanks for helping us back them Gaius." Olivia thanked the thief. "Don't you think it's time to find honest work ?"
"Well I can't let my wife and child placed in danger now can i ? And for your information it is honest, I'm picky about my clients now and only choose the one with actual morals, so I'm only stealing from evil nobles." Explained Gaius which isn't what Olivia had in mind, but at least it's not harming innocents.
The heroes then arrived on the throne room.
"Wow look at you, can't believe you're beat up this badly." Flavia commented on Basilio's condition.
"Welcome back, sorry you have to see me in such a sorry state, I take it the fighting outside is over ?" Asked Basilio.
"Yep, you should see what they're capable of, the Risen army is annihilated in minutes, how about it ? Will any one of you be my champion sometime ?" Flavia teasing the heroes to fight for her to secure the throne.
"No, we rather not get involved in other world countries politics." Replied Ganondorf.
Olivia hide behind her husband after looking at Ganondorf. "Gaius, that man look scary."
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone harm you." Whispered Gaius back.
"So anyway, where's that green look alike ? We didn't see him, did you defeat him already ?" Asked Flavia.
"What ! If anything he's the one that did this to me !" Basilio pointed at his injuries, "But after that I couldn't see, the battlefield was very intense and chaotic, not to mention that guy is as flat as a paper, I was hoping you have eliminate him." Replied Basilio.
Hearing this Mewtwo and Rosalina begin using their psychic powers again, and then...
("I sense a malicious intent coming from a room in the floor above, the ones in the left corner !") Stated Mewtwo.
"What the ! Voices in my head !" Gaius is surprised by Mewtwos telepathy.
"That's not important right now, that room is where Inigo is sleeping !" Exclaimed Olivia.
"What ! We have to hurry ! Our baby is in danger !" Exclaimed Gaius.
"You won't make it by running, Mewtwo and I will handle this !" Rosalina and Mewtwo teleported to Inigo's room.
Regna Ferox Castle - Inigo's Room
Inside this room lies a baby sleeping in his bed, his name is Inigo, son of Olivia and Gaius. However Paper Luigi able to sneak in and about to accomplish his mission to kill the baby, however...
"Stop right there !" Rosalina and Mewtwo reappeared and use their telekinesis to restrain Paper Luigi.
Soon the others then make it to the room as the door is opened.
"Inigo !" Shouted Olivia only to find Paper Luigi restrained in midair.
"Don't worry we got him ! He can't get any closer to your child." Said Rosalina.
Paper Luigi is not giving up just yet as if he can't kill the baby physically he shoot electricity from his hand and aimed it at Inigo. Mewtwo protect the child by creating Light Screen, the barrier protect the child from the electricity.
As it seems Paper Luigi is out of option, a circle shaped shadow appeared on the wall, Marilyn appeared and grabbed Paper Luigi and pulled him into the shadows, rescuing him and caught everyone by surprise. At the same time a shadow appeared on the bed under Inigo, Beldam appeared and abduct the baby.
"Inigo !" Screamed Olivia.
("Again with this ! They're very persistent !") As Mewtwo and Rosalina used their powers to sense Inigo's location a fireball is thrown their way, however Ganondorf is able to stop the fire by creating a magic shield.
Vivian emerge from the shadows. "We're very sorry about this, but there's nothing we can do." Vivian then engage the heroes in a battle.
("Found him !") Mewtwo and Rosalina found Inigo. ("We'll leave her to you !") The two of them then teleport away to Inigo's location.
Olivia seeing her son being kidnapped is now very angry. "Please return my son, or I will make you pay !" Olivia unsheathed her crescent shaped blade. Everyone in the room is shocked by Olivia's outburst as she typically never raised her voice like that.
Gaius also stepped in. "I don't know about your mission, but if you dare put my son in danger, there will be hell to pay, everyone please don't interfere." Gaius also unsheath his dagger. As the couple charged at the Shadow Siren.
Regna Ferox - Outskirts
Beldam emerge from the shadows carrying Indigo outside the city which is covered in snow, as she move further from the city Mewtwo and Rosalina reappeared in front of her. Rosalina then used her telekinesis to pull Inigo away from Beldam and encase the baby inside a force field.
"Don't bother, not even teleportation can penetrate my barrier." Stated Rosalina.
("Why are you doing this ? Kidnapping babies ?") Mewtwo curious with the Shadow Sirens motive.
"We don't have a choice ! This is our mission ! That baby will one day grow to be a threat to that infernal dragon ! Which is why we were given the mission to eliminate them before they grow up !" Explained Beldam.
"Eliminate them ? Could this baby be...?" Rosalina starting to realize something.
("Now that you mention it Lucina did say that she and her friends travel back to the past to prevent Grima's awakening, and Inigo is one of the friends she mentioned.") Replied Mewtwo.
"And this means Grima and Shadow Queen are cooperating with one another ! Their goal is to eliminate Lucina's friends so should Grima rise to power there will be no one else to stop him !" Exclaimed Rosalina.
("We won't let this happen ! We'll make sure to keep Inigo safe from the likes of you !") Declared Mewtwo.
"Your name is Beldam right ? The Princess Peach from another world said you renounce evil after Shadow Queen is defeated, so why are you doing this now ?" Asked Rosalina.
Beldam answered tearfully as she really is serious about her redemption. "We have no choice, if we don't obey the queen will destroy us, we the Shadow Sirens created by the Shadow Queen, she will never forgive betrayal, Vivian betrayed us once, but because I vouched for her the queen agreed to give her one more chance, another step out of the line and Vivian will be gone for good. I have been very terrible to her before, at least I wanted to make things right with her now."
"I see, I can tell you're very sincere, we both have something to protect." Hearing Beldam side of the story have made Mewtwo and Rosalina calmed down a bit now knowing the reason Beldam do what she did.
"I'll tell you one thing, the queen have no intent on actually cooperating with the others she worked with, once the time is right she will turned against them, I don't know how powerful you all are, so if you can't beat me then don't expect to win against our queen." Beldam preparing for a fight aiming to test the heroes rather than actual malice.
("Understood, Beldam of the Shadow Siren we accept your challenge !") Mewtwo and Rosalina now begin their fight with Beldam.
Rosalina started by hiding Inigo inside a pocket dimension as Beldam firing multiple icicles, Mewtwo used Reflect, protecting itself and Rosalina from the icicles.
Beldam used Veil and merge with the ground, she emerge behind Mewtwo and hit the Pokemon with Ice Punch, Mewtwo got pushed by the hit, but it doesn't faze it much, Rosalina retaliate with telekinetic blast, she gathers psychic energy and hit Beldam in the head, pushing her down to the snowy ground.
Beldam slammed her hand on the ground and create a trail of ice spikes moving toward Mewtwo and Rosalina, but the duo teleported away and reappeared in the skies above.
Mewtwo create one large ball of psychic energy and Rosalina create a large ball of star energy, they throw the energy balls to the ground where Beldam is, seeing the size of the attack Beldam use Veil again to merge with the shadows, the energy ball exploded and the sound and shockwave from the impact reached the kingdom, creating a crater on the snowy ground.
Beldam come out from the shadows only for Rosalina to restrain her with telekinesis. Beldam attempt to use her cryokinesis to remotely freeze Rosalina, however Mewtwo use Safeguard before anything can happened as both of them are now protected by a mystical veil.
Still under Rosalina's grip Beldam now attack them using Toxic Magic, she fired a stream of green liquid at Rosalina and Mewtwo, however the two are unharmed, which baffled Beldam.
Mewtwo begin using Psystrike as it attack Beldam with a powerful psychic wave, the Shadow Siren screamed in pain as she finally defeated.
Mewtwo and Rosalina descend to the ground and reach out to Beldam.
"Are you alright ? I hope we didn't get too rough." Rosalina apologized and offered her hand.
"No it's fine, I'd like it you didn't hold back, I have to say you two are powerful indeed, but as long as the queen still around we will be enemies." Lamented Beldam. "And I will do what I must to protect my sister."
("We know and we will give everything we got, I hope you and your sisters are well.") After what Mewtwo said Beldam merge with the shadows and left Regna Ferox.
"Mewtwo let's tell our allies about their goal." Mewtwo nodded to Rosalina's suggestion as they reveal to their allies why the enemies are here.
Regna Ferox Castle
Olivia throw her blade at Vivian which she countered by throwing a fireball, but this gives Gaius an opening as he slash her waist with his dagger, Vivian yelped in pain.
Olivia follow suit by shooting a razor wind at the Shadow creature, however Vivian used her Veil technique, she merge with the shadows to avoid Olivia's attack.
Vivian reappeared behind Gaius and touched his cape, Vivian's touch ended up burning his cape, Gaius flapping his cape to put out the fire with Olivia using her small tornado to put it out.
A sound of large explosion was heard from outside which surprised everyone for a few seconds.
"What was that !?" Basilio reacting to the explosion outside.
After putting out the fire in Gaius cape the couple regain their composure. While Vivian still surprised by the explosion Gaius and Olivia charged at the Shadow Siren and about to attack her, however as their about to land a bit on Vivian Mewtwo and Rosalina begin speaking telepathically, revealing the reason why Inigo was captured.
Hearing this and the fact that Inigo is safe made Olivia and Gaius to drop their weapons, and told Vivian to leave. "Just go, our son is safe." Vivian actually feeling relieved leave the castle as she merge with the shadows.
Halberd - Deck
"C'mon hurry up." Robin wishing to reach Plegia quickly.
Earlier...after the second team went to Regna Ferox
Chrom return back to the ship with Lissa, Ricken, Maribelle, and Miriel, and their kids.
"Robin it's nice to see you !" Lissa hugged Robin.
"Yes it's good to be back, but things are bad in Ylisse is there ?" Questioned Robin.
"Yes, there was Risen, and Cordelia is brainwashed, I saw her trying to kill Severa !" Exclaimed Lissa.
"What ! But why !? Why would she's brainwashed just to kill her own daughter ?" Robin puzzled by the enemies actions.
"Themis was under attack as well, however when Ricken and I leave the city the Risen ended up following us to Ylisse." Explained Maribelle.
"The Risen saw us leaving, they ended up dripping everything they do to chase after us, we managed to get away with Maribelle's Pegasus." Explained Ricken.
"Do you think the purpose of these attacks was to kill our children ?" Asked Chrom.
"But why !? They're just harmless babies !" Lissa raised her voice with a tear in her eyes.
"Harmless for now, we saw Grima is resurrected, maybe he's trying to nip the bud to make sure no one is able to stop him now !" Speculated Robin. "Think about it ! Our children went to the past to change the future, Grima must've tried to eliminate them now so there's no one else to went back to the past !"
Robin, Chrom, Meta Knight and his crew then received telepathic message from Rosalina and Mewtwo, confirming Robin's theory.
Robin's face turned pale after hearing the telepathic broadcast. "It's true they're here for our children ! Meta Knight set course to Plegia ! I have to reach my family there !"
Meta Knight nodded and ordered the Halberd to set course to Plegia.
Somewhere in Ylisse
An orphanage in Ylisse is under attack by the Risen army, outside there's a blonde androgynous looking man and a woman with floppy rabbit ears fending of the Risen.
"Why are the Risens attacking this place ?" The blonde man kept on hacking the undead with his axe.
"I don't know Libra, but either way we're not letting them near this place !" The woman replied while punching and kicking the incoming Risen.
"Yes Panne, what's clear is we'll never let them harm the children inside." Libra then form a barrier with his magic, preventing Risens from getting closer.
Ylisse - The Farfort
The Farfort, a village located in southeastern Ylisse is also under attack, a brown haired man wearing a tin on his head fending off the Risen at the village entrance with his spear, however the Risen isn't only coming from there as they're climbing the eastern and western walls as well.
Unfortunately for them this village housed a dragon and burned the incoming Risens with fiery breath with acute precision so the dragon doesn't burn anything else.
"Great work Nowi ! I'll continue dealing with the ones over here !" Exclaimed the man.
"Yes Donnel dear, we will succeed in protecting the village !" Nowi continue burning any Risen that made it inside.
The Sea
There's a ship heading from Valm to Ylisse, one passenger is a woman with long reddish hair, she has a wyvern on her side and holding a baby. "Almost there Gerome, soon we'll be able to visit your father son."
However the ship seemed to hit something underwater as the ship shake, causing it's passengers to lose their balance.
The sea is bubbling and something huge emerge from the ocean depths. The woman can only looked in horror.
Plegia Castle - Throne Room
Grima and his entourage entered the castle without much difficulty thanks to the large number of Risens under their command, and now they finally reached the throne room.
Validar open the door and greets his former king. "Long time no see king Gangrel, our rightful ruler has returned so you may step down now."
"Validar ! How !? Never mind ! You're not welcome in my country ! The Grimleal is now outlawed by my decree !"
After hearing Gangrel protest Validar retorted his claim. "Your country ? Hah ! This country exist to serve our master lord Grima, his order outrank any barking you gave to us ! Now that he's here he can overturn any decree you passed down."
Gangrel took notice at the floating girl. "Is that Morgan ? But how !? Wasn't it Robin the real vessel for Grima ?"
"Thanks to the blood relation, Morgan can be used to be lord Grima's vessel, unfortunately the compatibility just not equal to Robin." Explained Validar. "I offer you a chance Gangrel, join us so that the world will belong to lord Grima."
"You want me to serve that omnicidal dragon ? You must be out of your mind !" Gangrel rejected Validar's offer.
"Oh well it was worth to try." Validar generate purple energy in his hands while Gangrel also ready for a fight. However Validar suddenly ceased his aggression before a fight can happen which confused Gangrel. "I don't think I have to, after all someone else is deserving to kill you than me."
"What are you ?" As Gangrel questioned what Validar mean, an an axe is flying toward Gangrel, but the king able to dodge the incoming weapon if barely. "What was ! You !"
Gangrel is shocked to see his high ranking general Mustafa is among Validar.
"Mustafa ? But why didn't we apologize and forgive each other in Askr ?" Gangrel reminded Mustafa nervously.
"My will is not my own my liege, I'm nothing but a mere puppet exist only to obey my master." Mustafa pull out a silver axe and swings his axe to Gangrel, only for the king to teleport a short distance. Gangrel then got hit by Validar's magic blast, getting Gangrel to fall on his knee.
Grima float closer to Gangrel and siphon his energy, Gangrel screamed in pain and he fell down feeling weak with his energy drained.
"Lock him up in the dungeon, we may still have further use for this worm still." Mustafa obey and carry Gangrel to the dungeon.
With Gangrel out of the way Grima sits in the Plegian throne with Algol and Validar kneel before him.
"Now find the child that's from this country, Algol mobilize the army to look for the child !" Ordered Grima.
Algol ended up going overboard with Grima's order. "Yes my lord, I'll sent orders to the Risens to round up every babies in Plegia and have them all executed."
Surprisingly Grima objected to such barbarity even if the reason are more pragmatism than having standards. "You will do no such thing ! I'm only after the children that came to the past to defeat me, in this state i'd rather not have many people after my blood, should you dare stray from my order I will punish you severely ! Do I make myself clear !"
"Y-yes o-of course, I will obey your commands just the way you wanted." Algol is shaking in fear.
"Then you two dismissed." Algol and Validar then left the throne room leaving Grima alone. "Humans...thirsting of other's blood and spreading conflicts, and they claim I'm the evil one, no matter, when my power is restored humanity won't have to experience another conflict as I will end them all."
Plegia - City
In the city a pair of couples chased down by the Risen, they dressed like mages, the man wore purple robe, he has white hair, and yes closed all the time, while the woman have long black hair and grim expression on her face and holding a baby.
"Tharja dear ? Have you noticed the Risens are only chasing us ? They completely ignored the other citizens." The white haired mage spoke nonchalantly, however he is correct as the pair are the only ones chased by the Risens.
"Now that you said it Henry, that seems to be the case, but why us ? When those Risens went to the city wasn't someone lead them in ?" Asked Tharja.
"Yeah I saw, it looks like Morgan, but she had that evil aura around her, did she dabbled in dark magic and gets corrupted ?" Pondered Henry speaking casually as usual.
"If that's the case I don't see why the Risens are only chasing us !?" Complained Tharja.
"Maybe because she knows us ? After all who else in Chrom's army from Plegia other than us ? Aversa ? She doesn't live here anymore, she's back to her old village." Theorized Henry.
"Hhrrgh..I'd rather you not say her name." Muttered Tharja who seem to have problems with Aversa.
"Is it because of Robin ? You know as your husband that actually stings despite how I look." Replied Henry still smiling.
"Yeah, I'm sorry I'm the one who accepts your proposal, I can't blame anyone for this." Said Tharja.
As Henry and Tharja kept running they eventually reach a dead end, and with a Risen Army behind them there's nowhere else to run.
"We're trapped !" Henry panicked sarcastically. "Oh well let's just do this then." Henry grabbed Tharja's hand and teleport away, the Risens then return to searching the city.
Henry and Tharja appeared in the rooftop of a building, they looked down only to see the Risen seemed still searching for them.
But then someone approached them from behind.
Plegia - Village
A small village in Plegia is under attack by Risens, with one woman fending them off. She has white hair and dressed in black, her outfit reveals her cleavage, she also ride a pegasus.
"Risens ! How are there so many of them !" The woman used her magic to conjure fire and burn away the incoming Risens, however that doesn't change the fact that she's just one person against many numbers.
"There's no end to this !" The woman kept spearing the Risens and attack them with magic, but the numbers doesn't seem to slow down.
The Risens breaching the other walls, the woman looked around to see and fearing the worse, however the Risen is only focused on one house, her house specifically.
"What !? Why are they gathered at my house ! Oh no !" The woman cast down magic like crazy as she destroyed many of the Risen, she jumped from her Pegasus to see a Risen grabbed a baby.
"No ! My baby !" The Risen hearing the woman scream jumped through the window.
She gave chase to the Risen, however the other Risen gets in her way, preventing her from running further, they also restrained the Pegasus.
"No ! Morgan !" As she lose hope a dark portal appeared with Robin coming out from it and behead the Risen with a sword. As the Risen disappear he grabbed the baby, saving her. And then a lightning fast strikes kill all of the Risen in one fell swoop. Meta Knight come to assist Robin.
The Risens inside the village has been annihilated, as for the ones outside.
Meta Knight pull out a communicator. "Cpt. Vul deployed the Heavy Lobster !"
Obeying MK command, a lobster shaped robots dropped from the Halberd and begin incinerating the Risens, MK also fly and finished off the remaining Risens with fast slashes.
"I'm back Aversa." Robin smiled to his wife.
"Robin ! I'm so glad you're safe !" Aversa hugged her husband and tears is formed in her eyes. "I was afraid, I couldn't protect our daughter."
"You're not to blame, this attack is meant to target our children, I just found out about it earlier too, Aversa we must leave, our kids are the one they after, should we leave this place then they won't bother anyone else in here." Explained Robin.
"Alright, anything to keep Morgan safe." Robin, Aversa who's carrying baby Morgan, the Heavy Lobsters, and Meta Knight entered the dark portal.
Ylisstol - Town
The heroes are now faced against Paper Mario, Phila, and Hooktail. As the heroes ready to fight, the red dragon threatened the heroes.
"Hold it ! One more move and... we'll look around you what do you see ?" Hooktail asked the heroes.
Mario heeding what she says looked at his surrounding, and that's where he realize something the town is full of the sleeping soldiers.
"Noticed did you ? That's right, you lay a finger on us and I will burn all these sleeping soldiers to ashes, so just stay there and let us beat you up without resistance." Hooktail already generating fire in her mouth to show she means business.
Mario hesitates as should he didn't do what she said Hooktail will immolate the Ylissean soldiers.
Meanwhile Lucina with Sonic and Taranza scouring the town to finish the remaining Risen, Lucina split up with Sonic and Taranza to cover more ground, fortunately there aren't too many Risens, as Lucina just kill the latest Risen, a figure approached her from behind, she swings her sword at that direction, however it's not an enemy.
Lucina pointed her sword at a large red haired man. "Mr. Gregor ! I'm sorry ! I thought you were a Risen."
"It's okay little Lucy, Gregor's not mad." The red haired man introduced himself, he also seemed to carry a sleeping Vaike, and Vaike seems to have a black cat latching onto him.
"Wait ! How are you not asleep ?" Lucina wondered why Gregor is awake unlike everyone else.
"Gregor receive a job outside the capital, I just finished the job and just returned here, when Gregor came back the town is asleep for some reason, Vaike is almost attacked by Risen, but Gregor arrived just in time to killed it." Explained Gregor.
"Umm...I'm here too." Said a voice from somewhere.
"Who ?" As Lucina looked around she finally noticed a man with shut eyes wearing a great armor standing next to Gregor.
"Sir Kellam ! I'm sorry I didn't notice you there." Lucina apologized yet again.
"It's fine, I'm used to it, but what happened here ? I heard the capital is attacked by an army of Risens ? Didn't we defeat Grima ?" Asked Kellam.
"It's a long story, I'll explain later, I'm glad you're all here." Stated Lucina.
"Wait if the town is under attack, what happened to Gregor's wife Miriel and son Laurent !?" Gregor is panicking once he realized what happened to the town.
As Lucina about to answer Sonic and Taranza return to Lucina's side.
"What the ! Monsters !?" Gregor and Kellam shocked at the sight of Sonic and Taranza.
"Hey what's with that reaction !? I'm betting you never see a blue hedgehog made of pure awesome like me !" Sonic once again boasting about himself.
"It's okay Mr. Gregor, this is Sonic and Taranza, they're friends of mine." Lucina introduce her allies to each other. "We're on the same side, so we can trust each other."
"Alright Lucina if you say so then we'll believe you." Confirmed Kellam.
"Right then Taranza if you please." Lucina asked Taranza to wake up Vaike. Taranza then use his magic to wake Vaike from his sleep.
"Hah ! Don't worry kitty teach here will...! Hey what's going on ?" Vaike has regained consciousness as Gregor let go of him.
"Gregor ! Kellam ! And Lucina !? Are we having a reunion !? No wait now's not the time for that, Risens are attacking our town ! I saw some chasing this black cat, but I managed to finish them off before they can harm this little fella." Vaike then noticed Sonic and Taranza. "Whoa am I still asleep ? I saw a blue squirrel and flying spider ?"
"What ! A squirrel !? I'm a hedgehog !" Sonic is offended by Vaike's remark before continuing. "And not just any hedgehog, I'm the fastest one alive !"
"I'll explain everything later, but I assure you Miriel and Lissa is safe, my father came to rescue them minutes ago." Assured Lucina. "We need to head to the square, my friends could use your help there !" Lucina then lead her allies back to the town square.
Back at the square the heroes are faced with difficult choice, either they're let themselves be defeated or fight back but the soldiers killed.
As they yet to reach a decision Jigglypuff begin singing again, the heroes cover their ears as Paper Mario and Hooktail start feeling drowsy, the heroes covering their ears.
"This...song...is the cause of the sleeping !" Hooktail struggling not to fall asleep breathe fire towards Jigglypuff, however 'Jigglypuff' actually Paper Peach in disguise using the Sneaky Parasol, she used magic on herself so that she would be unaffected to Jigglypuff singing as the real Jigglypuff continue singing, and also her dress is colored white and blue, meaning she's under the effect of ice flower. Paper Peach shoot a stream of cold energy from her hands.
With Jigglypuff kept on singing Hooktail is forced to retreat as should she stay longer she would fall asleep for real, Hooktail then fly away with Paper Mario jumping on her back, and she also carry Frederick with her.
As Mario and Bowser attempt to use their fire power, Phila let herself be used as meat shield as Bowser and Mario fire stream ended up attacking her instead, buying time for Hooktail to escape.
Phila then fall to the ground. As Mario about to approach her, her pegasus quickly got up and fly away, as an undead she and her pegasus can't be put to sleep so they don't get affected by Jigglypuff singing.
With the fight over Jigglypuff then stopped singing.
Soon after, the soldiers are waking up one by one, as the soldiers looked at Bowser many of them screamed in horror as there's a turtle monster in their town. Sully and Stahl are among the first to wake up, as they made contact with the heroes they assumed a fighting stance as there's unusual looking group in the town.
"What the ! A turtle monster ! Stahl we must protect the town !" As Stahl and Sully grabbed their weapons Lucina stepped in just in time to intervene.
"Wait ! Stop ! They're not the enemy !" Exclaimed Lucina.
"Lucina ? You're back !?" Stahl is surprised to see Lucina.
"Yes, but we don't have time, I want you two to come with me, the attack earlier, it was meant to target your children ! Did anyone see sir Frederick ?" Asked Lucina.
"We did, but for some reason he turned against us." Answered Sully.
"And there's a plant above his head." Added Stahl.
"It must be the floro sprout ! He's being controlled by someone else !" Exclaimed Paper Peach.
"Whoah ! A woman flat as a paper !" Vaike the first to comment on Paper Peach.
"Hey didn't that guy have plant sprout on his head ? The one carried by that red dragon ?" Reminded Bowser.
"Now that a-you mentioned it, yes he does !" Replied Mario.
"Lucina were very sorry, we failed to rescue Frederick." Paper Peach apologized to Lucina.
"And Lucina, we saw the same thing on Cordelia's head, she fly away to the castle, but I'm sure she has that same plant sprout on her head." Stated Stahl.
"I see, I'm gonna have to apologize to Severa, but we will get them back later, for now come with me." With the absence of Frederick Stahl and Sully appoint the captain to be in charge while they're gone, and with that settled Lucina used her golden plate to return to the Halberd.
As they left the kingdom Shadow Queen teleported to the throne room, and from there she corrupted the entire country into serving her.
Halberd - Deck
Lucina return back to the Halberd along with everyone. There the families are now reunited with one another.
Stahl and Sully hugged Kjelle, Lissa and Owain reunite with Vaike, Gregor reunite with Miriel and Laurent. Not long after the team sent to Ferox return back to the Halberd, teleporting using Ganondorf's magic, along with Gaius, Olivia, and Inigo who's already freed from Rosalina pocket dimension.
"You're back, how things go in Ferox ?" Chrom asked Ganondorf.
Ganondorf explain what happened during their time in Ferox.
"I see, so Khan Flavia decided to stay, and you decided to lent Moltres to her." Asked Chrom.
"Yes, if there's another attack, the power of legendary pokemon already have the power of more than 1000 men." Replied Ganondorf.
"I have to say Chrom sure got himself strange new allies." Stahl whispered to Sully.
"Agreed, but their power there is the real deal, if they're the ones who eliminated those Risens." Sully then stared at Miriel. "Looks like our resident researcher can't hide her excitement."
"We'll make sure Miriel don't put them at the dissection table." Stahl whispered back.
"This is incredible ! I'm very curious about your anatomy, physiology, how different are you from humans ?" Miriel groping and caressing the Dream Land aliens much to their discomfort.
"Please stop touching my crew, or I'm forced to strike you down." Meta Knight point his blade at Miriel.
"I'm sorry, but my thirst for knowledge just cannot be satiated, if there's anyway..."
Meta Knight interjected. "I'll give you an x-ray results, as for what that is I'll show you later, aren't we going to rescue your other comrades first ?"
"That's right ! There's Panne and Libra, Henry and Tharja, Donnel and Nowi, and Cherche.
"Will we be in time to save them all ? If we use the golden plate we may have to split our forces even more." Stated Chrom.
"Uhhh...everyone look at that." Sailor Dee pointed at the direction at the sea, the heroes take a look through the window and they saw a huge sea monster, it's like a huge green lizard, and there's a ship near the lizard.
"What the ! Was there a monster like that living on the sea !?" Exclaimed Vaike as he and everyone else is surprised by what they see. "Wait we can't let that thing destroy that ship right ?"
As the Halberd flew closer they noticed there's someone they know on board.
"It's Cherche ! She's on that ship !" Shouted Lon'qu. "We got to save her ! That monster is going to destroy that ship ! She will die alongside it !"
Seeing this the heroes decided to get Cherche first, but then they saw something they never thought they see.
Heaven - Rubiss Domain
"And so that's the reason I'm coming here, I was hoping I'm overthinking things but I just have to make sure." Palutena went to another goddess domain, she is seen talking to another goddess, she has reddish pink hair and possess white feathery wings similar to an angel.
"I see, you saw a Slimes appearing in another world, I've heard about what's going on, I wouldn't say I'm on board, but I agree to help you out, in fact a few souls from my domain went missing as well, and if Thanatos is behind this I'll make sure he pays for meddling with my domain !" Replied the red head goddess angrily.
"That's more than enough Rubiss, so how should we go on about this ?" Asked Palutena.
"I've decided to resurrect a certain group of warriors, chosen by the Yggdragon." At that moment a white dragon entered the temple, and since that part of the temple has no roof the dragon entered without problem.
"Ah hello Yggdragon, I am Palutena, though I never visited this realm I'm still honored to meet you." Palutena greet the dragon politely.
"The pleasure is mine goddess of light, as you heard from Rubiss certain souls have gone missing from this domain, and unfortunately I also have terrible feelings, that what your enemies are doing may impact us all, which is why Rubiss and I come to an agreement that I will send my chosen warriors to aid you in your quest." Explained Yggdragon.
"If it's your warrior then is it the Luminary ?" Asked Palutena.
"Yes, but specifically the Luminary I chose is Erven the prince of Dundrasil, along with his companions." Answered Yggdragon.
Before the conversation can continue Naga arrived to Rubiss's temple.
"Naga ? What are you doing here ?" Asked Palutena.
"Palutena, I've been looking for you, I didn't think you'll be in Rubiss Domain, I visit your domain and the Centurions told me you're here, and hello to you too Yggdragon, greetings from one divine dragon to another."
"Likewise Naga, so what brings you to Rubiss's Domain ?" Asked Yggdragon.
"It's Grima and Shadow Queen, they're working together and attacking my world, they're planning to eliminate the children." Stated Naga.
"The children ? You mean Lucina's companions who went back to the past ?" Asked Palutena.
"Yes, so far Grima refrain from attacking anyone else, he believe with the children gone then there will be no one who attempt to travel to the past and undoing his victory." Explained Naga. "As for the indiscriminate killings it's because he can't afford to make enemies at the moment as he still recovering his powers.
"But they're still babies, that means they will be defenseless and easy target." Realized Palutena.
"Not for long, Palutena, Naga there is a way, we can help, but are you willing to do it ?" Asked Yggdragon.
"That is for their parents to decide, at the very least we will bring them here first." Stated Palutena.
"Understood, and so Naga we will bestow our help to you."
The Sea
A giant whale is seen flying in the sky, it has wings, and white colored with gold markings around it's body, the whale descended down, and it seems the whale carrying someone on its back. He looks like a young man with brown shoulder length hair wearing purple clothing.
The man casting what it seems like magic and lightning descended from above and strike the sea monster.
"Gaaah...the accursed Luminary, so you followed me to this world as well, why can't you just stay dead !" Roared the sea monster.
"I can say the same to you Alizarin !" Retorted the man.
"You meddle with time, and erase our existence, but now that I'm reborn I remember everything, and now I'll make sure to defeat you this time and offer you to my lord." Alizarin spit out fireballs at the whale, but the whale dodges the attack.
"Cetacea you can put me down here, well with a little help of course." The man jumped down as Cetacea create a light platform that can be stepped on.
"Go forth Erven." Said Cetacea.
As Erven run towards the sea monster Alizarin kept shooting fireballs, Erven is able to dodge them, but the last one not so much, but he's able to protect himself with a shield, he got up and started running again.
"Persistent are you ? How about his !?" Alizarin make she seas rage, he used his Maelstrom magic, creating water tornadoes to impede Erven, as one fo the water tornadoes about to hit him he used Zoom magic to teleport himself to the ship.
He charged his sword with electricity and used Gigaslash on the beast.
"Aargh ! That's it ! If you don't surrender then I will destroy this ship and all the passengers along with it ! As Alizarin about to smash the ship Cetacea flew in high speed and rammed at the monster.
"Erven keep him busy !" Cetacea dived underwater and carry the ship on her back as she fly to the east.
Alizarin got up and begin chasing Cetacea.
"Everyone calm down ! We will take you to safety !" Erven tried to calmed down the passengers.
"Yes, we don't know what happened, but someone is here to save us !" Cherche backed Erven up in calming down the crowds.
"Hey isn't that Cherche ? The vassal of Lord Virion ?" Asked one of the passengers. After hearing about Cherche and her efforts in rebuilding her country Rosanne the people believed her and calmed down.
"Thank you, but that monster is still chasing us, I have to stop him at least." Erven pointed at Alizarin.
"You know why don't you ride my wyvern Minerva, she doesn't seem to show any hostilities towards you, which is completely unusual for her." Cherche introduced Erven to her mount.
"Alright I'll take you up on your offer, let us work together Minerva." Erven sit on Minerva's back as he proceed to stop Alizarin.
He cast Kazap, but the beast leap from the water as the lightning hits the water, but one miss won't deter the Luminary of legend as he this time use Kasizz, flames are summoned and surround Alizarin, surprising Alizarin as he stopped moving temporarily as he dive underwater to resume his chase.
Alizarin emerge and shoot fireballs at the ship, but Erven able to snuff it out using Windsplitter, he swing his sword with a powerful wind energy, extinguishing the incoming fireballs.
Erven casting Kafrizz this time, but the monster dive underwater to avoid the attack, he kept swimming to reach the ship faster, Erven's crest is glowing as he lightning descended from the sky, electrocuting the sea, Alizarin who didn't have time to jump gets electrocuted as he screamed in pain. And the ship gets further away from him.
With the land in sight Cetacea dive underwater to return the ship back to the water, Cetacea then emerge from the water and hover above. At the same time Erven return with Minerva.
"Here's your wyvern miss, I appreciate the help." Erven returned Minerva to Cherche. "It looks like Alizarin has stop chasing us, you will be safe for now."
Cetacea then teleported Erven, Cherche, Gerome and Minerva to her back as it flies away.
Plegia - Rooftop
As the figure approached them from behind, Henry turned around and ready to shoot some magic until he see two blonde women, one has long blonde hair, and the other one tied her hair in pigtailed style.
"Hey watch it, here we are trying to help you, and you're attacking us !" Shouted the pigtailed girl.
"Oh you're not here to attack us ?" Asked Henry.
"No, sorry about my sister, my name is Serena, and this is my sister Veronica, believe it or not we were sent to rescue you, and evil force is trying to end your child's life." Explained Serena.
"Can we really trust you ? We don't know anything about you ?" Tharja said with skeptical look.
Risens then saw Tharja and Henry above and they started to climb to the roof, soon they all surrounded by Risens.
"Alright Serena let's do this." Veronica is readying her magic.
"Yes sister." As the Risen about to attack Serena played her harp which immobilized the Risens, Veronica the followed by casting Kasizzle which incinerates the Risens all at once.
"Is that proof enough ?" Veronica acted boastfully.
"Wow that was amazing !? That was the most incredible display of magic I've ever seen ! Of course we believe you ! My name is Henry, and this is my wife Tharja and my daughter Noire." Henry then introduced himself and Tharja and his daughter Noire.
Soon after Algol appeared and caught Henry and Tharja.
"Hey it's Algol ! I thought you were dead the last time the Shepherd fought you." Exclaimed Henry.
"Perks of being a necromancer, now I'm gonna have to ask you two to give me your child !" Demanded Algol. "She will be a sacrifice for Lord Grima !"
"You want us to hand over Noire to you ? I don't think so." Tharja calmly refused.
"I warned you Algol you do not want to make me mad." Henry starting to speak in threatening tone.
Just then Cetacea fly above Plegia, her large body blocking the sun, casting shadow at the kingdom.
"What the !" Algol is surprised by the turn of events. Veronica then used the chance to teleport herself, Tharja, Henry, and Noire to Cetacea's back.
Serena stayed behind to fight off Algol. "As long as I draw breath no evil shall escape my sight." Serena conjure razor sharp winds at the cultist which caused him to fall from the roof, with the winds also slashing his body, leaving him to bleed. Cetacea then teleported Serena to her back.
Plegia Castle - Dungeon
As Gangrel locked in the cell he can hear footsteps, fearing the worse, as it turns out it's just an old man, he's short, chubby and having a white mustache on his face. He proceed to unlock Gangrel cell.
"Huh ? Who are you ?" Asked Gangrel.
"My name's Rab, but we can't talk further, let's get you out of here first." The old man introduced himself, and Gangrel who doesn't want to be Grima's prisoner choose to flow him.
"How did you get in here ?" Asked Gangrel as they both running.
"Well if you must know a sleeping magic is very handy for breaking and entering, hahaha."
Rab then used Evac as he and Gangrel escape the dungeon, as Cetacea is above Plegia Rab also teleported himself and Gangrel to her back.
Ylisse - Orphanage
As the Risen beating the barrier relentlessly the barrier getting weaker and a sound of glass breaking can be heard from behind the orphanage.
"What's that !?" Exclaimed Libra.
"I'll go check it out !" Panne went inside the building while Libra keep the Risens at bay with his barrier.
As Panne went inside she saw Risens inside the orphanage and the children inside screaming, crying, and hiding, but one of the oldest kid grabbed a sword and hacked the Risen. Panne spring into action by punching one of the Risen on the face, but as there are more than 1 Risen Panne and the kid is unable to beat them all as it's difficult to transform inside the building.
The Risens ignored the children and proceed to head upstairs.
Panne realized this and she felt fear in her. "Oh no Yarne is in the second floor !" Panne rushed in upstairs, but she's blocked by Risens, she proceed to kick them hard and pursue the Risens upstairs.
Panne rushed as fast as she could, however as she entered a room she saw a Risen about to stab Yarne, as Panne rushed in to save her son, a man break through the window and behead the Risen with a knife, he has spiky blue hair and dressed rather shoddily.
"Who are ?" Panne questioned the man's identity, however the man then pull out what's it like a boomerang and throw it at Panned direction, she covered her face with her arms only for the boomerang wasn't meant to hit her, but the Risens behind her.
"My name is Erik, but we can talk later, your baby's life is in danger !" The man introduced himself to Panne.
The Taguel grabbed her son and Erik used the Evac magic, teleporting them out of the orphanage.
As Libra unable to maintain the barrier any longer Risens started to fall one by one, A flamboyant looking man moves gracefully and slashing the undead left and right.
The man dance gracefully and his swordplay looked top notch, the combination of dance and swordplay means he's able to dodge incoming attacks and inflicting damage at the same time. He kept doing this until there are a few Risens left.
"And now for the finale Pink Pirouette !" The man spin around and a pink whirlwind formed around him, slashing the remaining Risens, destroying all of them.
With the Risens gone Libra finally turn off the barrier as he felt down due to exhaustion.
"Are you okay darling ?" The man offered his hand. "The names Sylvando a traveling entertainer, but also trained in the ways of the knight, and a knight showed chivalry to the beautiful ladies and everyone else in need of help !"
Libra then grabbed his hand and stand. "I thank you for your help, but actually despite my appearance I'm actually a man." Libra correcting Sylvando.
"What ! A man !? It's just that..."
Libra chuckled and interjected. "It's fine, this happens to me a lot."
Erik and Panne then appeared outside the orphanage through the Evac magic.
"Erik darling, I see you successfully saved the baby." Sylvando looked at the baby in Panne's arm.
"I did, but it was a close call." Stated Erik.
"I thank you for your help, but who are you ?" Asked Panne.
"We're friends, but we can't talk much, your son's life is in danger, if you leave this place those undead won't come near this place again." Explained Sylvando.
"What should we do ? Should we believe them ?" Panne asked Libra. "Those Risens did ignore the children inside, but they chose to attack Yarne only."
"Even if we do leave what about the other children inside ?" Asked Libra.
The door opened and it's one of the oldest kid. "It's okay, just go, we can take care of ourself, I'll be sure to watch the other children when you're gone."
"You're always the reliable one, alright we'll leave them in your care."
"Oh looks like our ride is here." Said Erik as Cetacea already reached Ylisse, Cetacea teleported Erik, Sylvando, Libra, Panne and Yarne to her back.
Cetacea now headed to Farfort, to find Nowi and Donnel.
Farfort
Nowi and Donnel continue fending off the Risens, however there's no end in sight and they have gotten tired from the endless fighting. Just then Cetacea arrived, and Erven used his luminary powers to call lightning from the sky and obliterate the Risens below. He used Zoom to descend below.
"Hey mister did you the one that send those lightning to destroy the Risens ?" Asked Nowi.
"I am, but we must leave this place, those undeads are after your children, they with leave this place until your children is dead." Explained Erven. "Your companions are up there with us."
Donnel and Nowi believing what Erven says, they grbabbed their daughter, Donnel say goodbye to his mom, and then they all teleported to Cetacea's back.
Halberd - Deck
"Is that for real ? A giant flying whale ? Should we ?" As the heroes is filled with confusion by what they just saw Palutena spoke to them telepathically.
"Do not attack them, they're allies, I can't talk much, but you have to trust them." Explained Palutena.
"What was that ?" Asked Lissa. "I hear voices in my head."
"Telepathy, a goddess from another world named Palutena." Answered Chrom. "If it's her then we can trust those people."
"Lon'qu I know your worried about your wife and son, but Palutena is someone we can trust, I know you'll be reunited again." Assured Robin.
"Alright, as long as they're save then." Lon'qu tried to calm himself.
Cetacea's Back
"Everyone's here ! It's like a reunion !" Exclaimed Nowi happily.
"Could you tell us what's going on ? Who's after our children ?" Asked Libra.
"You may know him as Grima, our god the Yggdragon brief us on what's happening before sending us here." Explained Erven.
"Grima ! But we killed him !" Responded Cherche. "He can't be back ! We all saw robin did the finishing blow."
"But It's true ! I saw him possessing Morgan's body, he's the one that oust me from my throne !" Confirmed Gangrel. "I don't know how he's back, but Mustafa, Validar, and Algol is also with him !"
As the former Shepherds chattering in what's going on Cetacea now headed to the Valm continent.
Chon'sin - Castle Courtyard
"Aaah...!" Say'ri dropped her sword after that last hit. Excellus is watching as a man is standing next to him, he's a tall man with long white hair tied in ponytail style and eyes looked shut.
"Whats the matter Say'ri ? Giving up already ?" Mocked Excellus.
"You monster ! That man under the hood, how dare you used my brother as a puppet !" Yelled the princess.
"Hahaha.. I think it's fair don't you think, brother vs sister in a duel to the death, Yen'fay enough games, now finished off your sister !" Ordered Excellus.
"Excellus one day you will suffer for this !" Yen'fay threatened the vile cultist, but he can't disobey his order, and as Yen'fay about to land the killing blow a man in black armor riding a horse arrived just in time and blocked the attack with his sword. He has long purple hair and tall imposing physique.
"What !" Excellus shocked by the turns of event. "Who are you !? Where do you come from !?"
"I am Hendrik, a knight of Heliodor, and sworn companion to the luminary, and I can't just stand by watching innocents suffer at the hands of evil !" Hendrik pointed his blade at Excellus.
"Grrr.. no one who stands in my way will gets away with it ! Yen'fay finished off that knight !" Excellus angrily ordered Yen'fay to defeat Hendrik.
Yen'fay unable to defy an order charged in to fight Hendrik, he pull out his signature sword Amatsu and strike Hendrik, however the knight able to block the incoming attack, the two clashed blades, and a sound of clashing swords can be heard multiple times, and the latest one puts them on a blade lock.
"Impressive swordsmanship." Yen'fay complimented Hendrik swordplay.
"I can say the same for you, your style is interesting to me as well." Hendrik also showed respect to his opponent fighting style.
"You sounded like a noble man, I'm ashamed we have to meet in these situations." Said Yen'fay.
"It seems you're placed in a difficult position, if that's the case me and my companions will do something about it." The two break free from the blade lock as Yen'fay throw his sword like a boomerang, Hendrik's left side is hit as he fell from his horse Obsidian.
Yen'fay sword returns and he charge in and attempt to stab Hendrik only for Obsidian to raised it's front legs to intimidate the swordsman which makes Yen'fay flinched. Hendrik got up and swings his sword at Yen'fay, however the swordsman able to dodge with a backflip.
As the two clashing blade Say'ri turned her attention to Excellus, she grabbed her sword and stood up, as Excellus is distracted by Hendrik and Yen'fay duel Say'ri run to him and slashed the cultist.
"Aaahhhh...! How dare you ! Wait till I...!" Before Excellus can cast any spells Say'ri stabbed him in the heart, however since Excellus pretty much a living dead the blow doesn't kill him, but he does suffers a great pain.
"Gggghhh...Yen'fay withdraw !" Excellus teleported himself and Yen'fay out of the castle.
Say'ri run towards Hendrik and thanked the knight. "I thank you for your help, my name is Say'ri, princess of Chon'sin, you are sir Hendrik am I right ? You introduced yourself to my brother earlier."
"That I am, so that swordsman is your brother ? His skill are impressive, it's unfortunate he's our enemy." Lamented Hendrik.
"It's not like that ! That sorcerer Excellus said my brother is under some kind of control, if that's true then I wish to save him from that power." Say'ri defending her brother.
"Alright, but I must ask you to come with me, we will explain everything later." And right on cue Cetacea arrived at Chon'sin, but first Say'ri spoke to the people at the castle that she will be gone for a while, after that she, Hendrik and Obsidian teleported to Cetacea's back.
Divine Dragon Ground
Divine Dragon Ground, where Tiki choose to stay after the war, in the past she receive an unfortunate encounter with a demon from another world named Kamuz, and this time the same thing is about to happen once again.
Tiki is seen speaking to two monsters, one is a green fat and ugly monster with red eyes, he has a horn on his head, a ring on his tail, and five black pearl looking objects floating around him.
The second monster is a large, muscular light blue skinned four arm humanoid monster who wears a pink helmet and seemed to only have one eye, it has a heart shaped tattoo on the abs, the monster speak first and surprisingly the voice is sounded very feminine, indicating this is a female monster.
"And that's why you should come with us, you're a dragon, you're not suppose to side with humans, they're weak and fragile compared to us." Said the four armed monster.
Tiki then pointed at the two monsters. "So you say your name was Booga and Boodica correct ? I'm sorry, but if that's you're reason for hating humans then I can't cooperate with you."
"Aww don't be like that, if you come with us I can show you a good time." Booga seemed to make a move on Tiki, looking at this Boodica voiced her jealousy and turned her back on her boyfriend.
"Are you flirting with her Booga !? I knew it ! I knew there's another reason why you wanted to came here !"
Booga nervously trying to salvage the situation. "What, no Boodica dear, that's not it at all, you know how those heroes beat us up with divine powers, I'm just saying maybe we should have divine powers on our side to beat the heroes as well, that's all."
Boodica turned around seemingly convinced. "Really ? So you come here to just seeking power ? And nothing else ?"
"Of course not, why would I want another girlfriend while I already have you."
"Oh Boogie Woogie I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions, I should've known better." Boodica forgive her boyfriend and there seems to be hearts floating away from the monster couple, Tiki can only stare in a deadpan manner.
After that Boodica turned around to Tikis direction. "Well you heard him, we're going to use divine powers against those who dare oppose us, and if you won't come willingly then I'll force you to !" Boodica grabbed Tiki's hand to abduct her.
"No ! Let go !" Tiki is resisting her captor. "Don't force me to transform !"
Boodica refused to listen, and as Tiki about to transform Boodica's hand hit by a dive kick, the four armed monster winced in pain as she's forced to let Tiki go.
The one who attacked Boodica is a beautiful looking woman with long black hair, dressed in a green halter top over a black tank top, she also wore green boots and, black shorts and green leather wrapped around the waist. "I was hoping we never have to meet again."
"Jade !" Shouted Booga. "To think we were able to meet again after all this time !" Booga sounded very happy to see the martial artist.
Boodica wiping her arm hurt by Jade's kick furious to see the martial artists again. "You ! The homewrecker ! To think I got to see you again ! This time I'll make sure you suffer for making my Boogie Woogie look away from me !"
Boodica about to punch Jade, but she did a backflip to avoid the punch as it hits the ground instead, Jade then jumped to Boodica's hand and run through her arms and landed a kick on her head, she fell down and Booga is crushed beneath her.
"They won't be down for long, we need to leave this place." Jade said to Tiki.
"Don't worry, I'll let you hop on to my back, it's my way of saying thanks." Tiki transformed into her dragon form, Jade ride on her back and the two fly away from the Divine Dragon Grounds.
Meanwhile Booga is still crushed underneath. "Hey they're getting away !"
Boodica then stand up. "I'm sorry Boogie dear, but we'll get them next time."
As she flies Tiki encountered Cetacea and Jade instructs Tiki to land on her back.
Cetacea's Back
Tiki and Jade arrived in the flying whale back. "So everyone's here ?" Asked Jade.
"Yes, this is all we need to save." Answered Erven.
The Halberd is flying next to Cetacea. And then Naga's voice can now be heard. "Well done on the mission, now enter this portal, this will take you to safety."
"This voice is ?" Questioned Say'ri.
"Is it really Naga ?" Asked Cherche who is still skeptical.
"It's Naga ! Everyone we should enter that portal !" With Tiki confirmation everyone agreed to enter the portal.
Halberd - Deck
"That voice just now ?" Asked Stahl.
"That's Naga's voice ! I remember it clearly ! We really should enter that portal !" Exclaimed Chrom.
"Alright then head to that portal !" Meta Knight ordered his crew to enter the portal in the sky.
What they don't realize is that Halberd and Cetacea are being followed.
Earlier...
Plegia Castle - Throne Room
After defeated by Serena Algol rushed to the throne room to report to Grima. "Lord Grima there's a flying whale outside ! And it's taking the children you sent me to kill !"
"What ! A giant whale ! This better not be a joke Algol !"
"I believe Algol wasn't lying, because I too saw that giant whale when I was walking outside earlier, the people from the harbor and the city are talking about it, and that's not all they say they all saw a giant flying metal contraption too." Confirmed Validar.
"Grr..." Grima then used his power to scry at Ylisstol Castle.
Ylisstol Castle - Throne Room
"Shadow Queen ! There's a giant flying whale and metal contraption in the skies ! I want you to get rid of it !" Grima then cut off communication.
"Barking orders in a little girl's body, how arrogant does he think he is ordering me around like that, but no matter, I'm curious about this myself, Hooktail ! Gloomtail !" Shadow Queen called her dragon minions. "Gloomtail I know you just arrived here, but I have an urgent mission for you."
Halberd - Deck
As the heroes about to head to the portal something got caught in the radar. "Captain I detected two life forms on the radar ! It's right behind us !" Exclaimed Sailor Dee.
Soon after a sound of explosion can be heard at the end of the Halberd.
"Aaah...! What's happening !" Lissa and everyone else squat down.
"We're under attack ! Sailor Dee give us visuals !" By Meta Knight's order Sailor Dee shows the figure in the monitor.
"Hey it's that red dragon from before !" Exclaimed Lucina. "And there's a black dragon next to her !"
"It must be one of the Shadow Queen's minions !" Stated Chrom.
In the monitor they saw the black dragon is about to attack again with his breath attack, and with some the Halberd booster is fried from the earlier attack the Halberd is losing speed.
"If we get attacked again the Halberd will sustain serious damage !" Exclaimed Meta Knight. "Worse case we may plummet to the ground."
In the monitor Cetacea turned around to to help, however Hooktail is attacking them with her fire breath, preventing assistance from Cetacea.
("We'll back you up, all of you just focus on getting into the portal.") Said Cresselia.
("Yes, the two of us will fend them off, let's go Cresselia !") Darkrai create a dark portal that leads outside and entered it, while Cresselia simply teleported outside.
Skies
"Brother are you done charging ?" Hooktail asked her brother while fending off Cetacea. "Hey don't get any closer ! Face my fiery breath !"
As Hooktail blow a stream of fire Serena played the Hymn of Fire to increase fire resistance to everyone boarding Cetacea and Cetacea herself, with Rab stacking it with Insulatle spell, severely minimizing the damage from Hooktail.
"Almost there, and MEGABREATH ! Gloomtail fired off powerful breath attack, as the Megabreath about to hit the Halberd Darkrai reappeared outside and create another dark portal, and the Megabreath entered the portal, another dark portal appeared near Hooktail and the Megabreath gets redirected to attack Hooktail instead. The red dragon screamed in pain as she lose her balance and fell.
"No ! Sister ! You will pay for this !" Gloomtail now used his Poison Breath at Darkrai, however Cresselia reappeared in front of Darkrai and take the hit, Cresselia now infected with poison.
As Hooktail laughed at his success, this turns out to be Cresselia plan as she used Psycho Shift, transferring her status ailment to Gloomtail, poisoning him instead.
"Aargh ! What's happening to me ! I feel so much pain !"
Hooktail now recovered, rushed in and charged at Cresselia, ramming at the moon pokemon, she then used her fire breath at the pokemon.
Cresselia teleported to avoid Hooktail's attack, she reappeared behind Hooktail and used Double Team, creating multiple copies of itself.
Hooktail turned around to see so many Cresselias behind her. Gloomtail rushed to save his sister, however he is soon attacked by some dark looking winds, Darkrai used Ominous Wind to stop Gloomtail from assisting his sister, Darkrai then blast the dragon with a Dark Pulse.
"Aargh..! I'm not...done..yet !" Gloomtail refused to surrender despite being poisoned and attacked by sinister winds.
Darkrai only come closer calmly. "No need to force yourself any further, take some rest, I assure you it will be filled with nightmares." Darkrai used Dark Void on Gloomtail, putting the dragon to sleep with the addition of inducing nightmares on the black dragon.
As Hooktail readied another fire breath the Cresselias all use Aurora Beam at the same time, they all converge the attack at one point and combined it into one huge Aurora Beam, the attack is colliding with Hooktail fire breath, but thanks to Cresselia's Double Team the Aurora Beam able to overpower Hooktail fire breath and blast the red dragon, knocking her off the sky.
With both dragons fell from the sky Darkrai and Cresselia return to the Halberd, as now the ship and Cetacea entered the portal with nothing else getting in their way.
And done, another long chapter, I have to make stories about three countries, but what can you do, it does involve the continents after all.
In case you all wondering for Veronica I'm using her adult form, so she won't spend the entirety of the fic looking like a kid like in the game.
So as I'm going to include FE Warriors, I'm going to give the entire FE characters elemental powers.
In case anyone asks Excellus only come to Chon'sin to exact his revenge on Say'ri, seeing it the right time to do so, of course there is more to it than that.
So here's are my Awakening couples :
Chrom x Sumia, Robin x Aversa, Frederick x Cordelia, Stahl x Sully, Gaius x Olivia, Henry x Tharja, Ricken x Maribelle, Lissa x Vaike, Libra x Panne, Gregor x Miriel, Donnel x Nowi, Lon'qu x Cherche. Yes I'm pairing Robin with Aversa of all people, please I don't want to hear any complaints with my chosen pairings, people can be really obsessive about ships for some reason.
I decided to make the Dragon Quest character debut now because well let's just say if you played DQXI you'll see in next chapter.
I'm keeping Paper Mario Crystal Star abilities, since he's bestowed power by the objects.
My interpretation of Double Team is the clones are not an illusion, but the use is similar to Naruto Kagebunshin jitsu, after all Double Team japanese name is Kagebunshin.
I know only Luminary who can do Evac and Zoom, but since it is an easy spell, the magic users of DQXI will be able to use it here.
The Spectral Sentinels seems to have inconsistent origins, I remember the game stated that they're created from the six orbs, and yet in Jade side story Booga seemed to be a famous lady-killer and expert in romance, and that's impossible if he's created from the orb as that means there's not enough timespan for him to build such reputation.
I named the Luminary Erven, as in a corruption of the word Eleven, please don't laugh.
Also if you played DQ XI, how the heroes remember the Spectral Sentinels, well that will be explained in next chapter.
Character debut : Cordelia, Ricken, Maribelle, Gregor, Kellam, Henry, Tharja, Gaius, Raimi, Aversa, Gangrel, Libra, Panne, Donnel, Nowi, Cherche, Say'ri, Yen'fay, Validar, Phila, Mustafa, Erven, Jade, Rab, Erik, Sylvando, Serena, Veronica, Hendrik, Booga, Boodica, Alizarin, Cetacea, Rubiss, Yggdragon, Heavy Lobster.
Boss battles : Paper Mario, Beldam, Phila, Vivian, Boodica, Yen'fay, Hooktail, Gloomtail.
