It is now evening of the next night with Lucina's party. Ayame gets in with Ike with all the meat caught and fresh water for the journey. "We won't have very much time tomorrow to gather food or water with all the upcoming monster attacks." Says Ayame,
"I'm glad we could get this done now to save us the trouble of gathering at night." Corrin then asks, "When are the others going to get here, I'm bored of waiting for them." Fox then says,
"You should have more patience for your little brother there Corrin."
"You know very well Kamui isn't my brother."
"Even so be patient." Shulk then asks,
"So if you two aren't siblings does that mean you two could go out?" the whole group just stops and stares at Shulk with varying degrees of
"What the fuck" when Corrin says,
"No…just…no." Ayame says,
"Dude they're the same person, why would you say that?"
"Just curious." Ayame then turns to Corrin and says,
"They'll be here in an hour at most."
*With Kamui's party*
The group is making their way through the woods where Lucina's party fought Ghirahim. Rory (A/N I will still refer when the Robins are together as the Robins, but when Male Robin says anything or they refer to just him He will be Rory, and the female Robin will still be Robin) looks around and says, "Looks like a battle happened here." Kamui nods and says,
"We'll meet up with the other party up ahead, if what the map said is true there should be a cabin up ahead on this trail." The others nod and head along. Unbeknownst (I love this word by the way) to the group Ghirahim is watching, 'All the pieces are coming together', he thinks and leaves.
After another hour the group spies the cabin in the distance and notice that there are lights on. "What now?" asks Roy,
"Let's knock on the door and see if whoever is there would be willing to give us shelter for the night." Answers Kamui.
"And if they don't?" asks Robin.
"Then we keep moving for another half an hour, there's another cabin there." The group agrees to this and goes up to the cabin. Before Kamui can knock the door opens and they all see the person they were hoping to see, Ayame who says,
"It's about time you guys showed up."
After what seems like forever Corrin notices Ayame stand up. "What's up?"
"It would seem they have arrived." Ayame answers Corrin as she walks to the door. She opens the door to see Kamui's party. She then says,
"It's about time you guys showed up." The group outside just stands and stares before Ayame says, "Come in already, can't let the enemy get the upper hand now can we?" Kamui's party enters the cabin as Kamui stares at Ayame,
"How did you know we were going to come to this cabin?"
"Shulk's future vision of course." Shulk nods sheepishly. Lucina then asks,
"How did you guys get away from the Mansion?" Roy answers,
"Bayonetta, Palutena, Ryu and the Pits helped us escape. Bayonetta created a distraction in the back with the Pits and Palutena and Ryu personally fought off Master Hand so we could get away." Ayame nods and says,
"Well, now that the party is all here we should leave tomorrow, let's not let our friends sacrifice be in vain." The others nod and set up where they will sleep. Ayame says one last thing before lights out,
"We head for the temple first light, so no sleeping in." everyone nods and the lights go out and within minutes everyone is asleep.
*At the Smash Mansion*
Master Hand has Palutena, Ryu, Bayonetta, the Pits and Ganondorf in his office. He turns to Bayonetta and says, "You were the instigator, so tell me, where did Kamui's party go?"
"I'm afraid I can't tell you that, and if I had to guess his party is already at the intended destination." Master Hand sighs,
"Everyone except Bayonetta leave. With that, Bayonetta is alone with Master Hand. She starts off by saying,
"I'm not talking while we are alone, I swore secrecy to that adorable fairy and I intend to keep my promise." Master Hand sighs,
"Sooner or later you will tell me what you know."
"Don't hold your breath big boy."
"You may leave." With that Bayonetta stands and leaves. She is greeted by the expectant faces of the rest of her group and says,
"I didn't say anything, if you're wondering."
The group sighs with relief.
"What do you take me for, a blabber mouth?" Palutena answers,
"No but we didn't know if Master Hand would force you to say anything."
"Well he thinks I'll slip up, preposterous, I don't make it a habit of spilling secrets, anyway, it's late let's all get to bed and hope for the best.
*With Lucina's party*
The sun starts to rise as the group once again sets out. Kamui catching Corrin up on what happened since they parted. Corrin pats Kamui on the head and says, "Great job not spilling the beans, dude." Corrin then informs Kamui that according to Shulk they would make a great couple. Kamui just stares at Shulk and asks,
"He does know we're the same person, right?"
"I think until last night he just knew we weren't siblings, but he should have been able to put two and two together." The two laugh as Shulk just blushes,
"I was worried about more important things." Before more things can be said, smaller monsters jump into the path. The group readies for battle.
By lunch time the group has made decent distance. They take a lunch break. As they are eating Rory asks Ayame, "About when do you think we'll make it to the Temple."
"If we travel at the same pace about three to four hours. When we get there we'll have to hunt for some food to get us through the night and morning, the temple as I recall is a huge maze." Robin then asks, "Do you know the way to the altar where the crystal goes?"
"I know most of the labyrinth but it takes about an hour from the entrance to the actual temple and from there to the nearest temple safe zone would be four hours, including breaks. From there another four hours to the inner sanctum." Shulk asks,
"How much is 'most of'?"
"I know everything except the inner sanctum."
After they finish lunch the party sets off again and like Ayame predicted it takes four hours. They look around for an entrance and only see a moat of water surrounding a small island. "Where's the temple Lady Aya?" asks Lucina,
"Let's go hunting, then worry about getting in the temple." The group goes and gathers enough food. The all meet back in front of the moat. Kamui then asks,
"Where's the temple?" Ayame motions to the moat,
"It's under water to keep monsters out." Shulk asks,
"So how do we get in then?"
"Did someone forget they're traveling with an incredible strong fairy?" Shulk face palms, Ayame turns on her heels, raises one hand while extending the other at the party and says,
"Oss naða fjor fiskr bàrum svalr vaton!" (Watch the SAO Extra Edition it's the water spell Asuna uses) as Ayame says the words of the spell glowing words spin around her certain words stopping, when she finishes the spell a symbol appears and as they look closely at it notice it looks like the mark on her forehead. They then feel a little different.
"Let's go into the temple now shall we?" the group nods and heads into the water.
Back at the mansion, Bayonetta feels eyes on her. She turns to see Ganondorf quickly move out of sight. She sighs and starts to walk again. She runs into 'Lucina' and drags her with into the girl's room. "I need you to look like me and I need to look like you to get Ganondorf off my back." Yuuki nods and the transformation happens. The two leave the bathroom and Ganondorf follows Yuuki while Bayonetta heads in the opposite direction.
Back with Lucina's group after a while of swimming the group makes it to the actual temple. "Let's head out." Says Ayame. The group nods and starts to walk into the temple. After what seems like forever Ayame says,
"We're at the safe zone." The group stops and collapses.
"After all those monster attacks I didn't think we'd even make it." Sighs out Corrin and Kamui nods in agreement.
"We would have been toast if not for Rory's last second calls." Says Robin only for Rory to say,
"But I do believe if it hadn't been for your strategy with the last monster we would have been toast." Ayame says, "I believe we would have been lost period without the both of you." The two nod in agreement. Ike sits down next to Corrin as she says,
"If Ike weren't here I'd worry about Lucina."
"You give me too much credit after all Lucina pulled her fair share in the fights, I never knew just how good she was until now. Lucina, where did you learn?"
"Father taught me in my future before he died, and then some more after I came back into the past." Ayame nods and then yawns. It is then when Shulk notices her condition.
She's hardly able to sit straight up, and she looks kind of pale. It then occurs to him that the entire time they were swimming, she was supporting them all with her magic, and then with the fighting she used a great deal of powerful spells. He then gets up and walks to Ayame, the group turns to her and also notice her condition. Lucina is the first to speak, "Lady Aya what's wrong? You don't look so good." The others nod as Ayame answers them,
"I just used up too much magic, that's all a little rest and I'll be fine." She then lays down and is almost instantly asleep. Ike is the first one to speak,
"Out of all of us she complained the less." Kamui then says,
"And yet she had the most to complain about." Corrin nods remembering how she complained about how long the trip was taking.
"Why don't we eat and then go to sleep?" asks Shulk, they nod and do so. Tomorrow was going to be sink or swim.
Me: yea I am on a roll
Lucina: Poor Ayame, she was under so much stress
Ayame: My magic will be inconsistent by the way
Shulk: next time: Sink or Swim
Me: Ja ne
