A Darker Shadow

It was late at night when Midna decided to take a stroll out of the castle again but her hand was caught by an unexpected hand.

"M-Midna? Where are you going?" Chrom's low voice spoke to her.

"Eeek! Oh, Chrom I'm just going… Uh? Out! Yeah out." She stumbled out words in surprise.

"Would you mind if I, uh, joined you?" He said his cheeks turning red.

"Actually no, not please just stay here." She tried to push him to stay. She stayed with them longer than she should have, that Ylisseans have grown fond of her and see her as a friend which shouldn't have ever happened.

"P-please Midna?" He pleads to walk with her out the castle and with her. Midna gives in and decides to let him come along. "Just *sigh,* be careful and return should anything okay?" Chrom nodded and the walked off into the forest.

(In Valm)

"Someone help us!" Villagers screamed as they ran from their town bordering the sea. Nabooru and her Gerudo girls slashed at all the Paladins, Cavaliers, Great Knights etc.

"Hehehe…" Nabooru laughed at the dead bodies and slaughtered horses. "Orita, Zitalis, Reeshoto, Azrin, Talis! Come let's meet their army head on! Look for their head commanders, slay them the army is rendered useless!" And a cheery girly giggling made its way out of the ladies. Their golden eyes were fixed on the oncoming army and leapt off in the same direction. Nabooru stopped only to hear a very evil laugh behind.

"Nabooru I'm sure you don't plan on taking that army by yourselves huh?" Ganondorf was standing tall wielding his great black sword. "We wouldn't want to watch you fall before we can break her seal. One thousand years ago she was sealed you know it's time we break it, so we can rule the realms!" Ganon laughed as he joined the girls for the battle.

(In Regna Ferox)

"WHAT!? Knight you're positive about this!" Flavia was severely concerned about what the last night covered in blood had told her what happened.

"Y-yes Khan Flavia. This sorceress was vicious she was evil and she had whispered in my ear that tomorrow being today, all calamities are gonna unleash on all the kingdoms." The knight was trembling but standing tall.

"RAIMI! Go alert Chrom of this matter any new beings of suspicion are to be arrested immediately and placed under lock in dungeons get sages and sorcerers to put magical barriers so they cannot escape, alright! Here Basilio we're going to Ylisstol now." She said with sheer command.

"Hold it woman, we need protection ourselves then if those monsters are really out there we need to help ourselves." He grabbed Flavia's shoulder once they got what they needed they went to their horses.

"Khan Flavia, Khan Basilio! Valm has sent for aid a group of about seven red haired people are invading Valm! The armies there are being wiped by the swordsman." Raimi said gasping after running to inform them.

"Dear Gods! Raimi, Flavia this is getting bad our realm and Valm's have been attacked but, there has been no word from the other two kingdoms. Raimi you will remain charge here while we're off may the Gods be with you." When they saddled up they were off.

In a very dark keep in the mountains Veran was developing a plan which she sent off to her other allies. She opened a portal to a very cold area covered in sand and stepped through.

"Plegia? This is much like the desert, that settles it then our fortified castle shall be here." She smirked as she looked at Plegia's main castle and made her way to it while pulling out two dark creature orbs. "Come my pets we shall make this castle, OURS!" She screeched throwing the orbs up and forming into entities. "Come out Armogohma, Death sword!" Then a two beings appeared one being a giant half stone, one eyed spider, and the other a reaper demon monster wielding a black sword with red markings on it. "All right my pets let's go and take this General Onox should be with us shortly." And the castle was about to be struck.

(In Ylisse)

Midna was walking with Chrom deep into the forest Midna was looking around the place for something but, Chrom followed suite looking at the ground most of the time. He was in a very deep thought about something while leaning against a tree but, was flung back to reality as soon as he felt a small soft hand touch his cheek and a sweet voice say his name.

"Chrom? Are you alright say something!" She started to sound worried as she was speaking. Chrom, looked at her and met his sapphire blue eyes came in contact with her ruby red eyes.

"Midna…" He started looking down.

"Yes? What is it?" She looked at his eyes to see him looking into hers and she blushed. Midna was very surprised now, he lightly grabbed her arms at her side and on his face. Chrom then proceeded to hold her while she was now against the tree and he began to whisper to her shade covering his face but not his blush.

"M-Midna… I-I… Lately I've been seeing you differently…" his breath is very shaky. "... When I first met you I was under the impression that you were this woman who had a defense that pushed people away but, these past few days you have been this wonderful person you're amazing at everything you do…" He took one deep breath in and let it out becoming more confident. "… Midna I think I'm in love with you!" He said with a tear streaming his face. Midna looked away and her eyes glanced at him to see him at staring. "Please… Say something, anything to me?" Midna was shocked she couldn't respond to this she wasn't ever looking for something to happen.

"Chrom. T-The last time this happened to me, I left that world in tears because of something that happened. I don't know what to say, I-!" Chrom stopped her mid-sentence with a kiss. No she can't have this, so she she slapped him but with a gasp and covering her mouth she ran off into the night. Chrom didn't wait he followed her as best as he could until she threw a black aura orb back at him. When it him, he slowed down and his eyes got heavy the last thing he saw was her running back giving him a hug and saying, sorry and took off again. Chrom's eyes shut, with a thud he fell to the ground out cold.

Chrom woke up in his room surrounded by everyone. Lissa made a big cheer with Chrom's name as she jumped at him on the bed.

"We were so worried about you! Where were you?"

"I, ugh my head I remember being in the forest… Midna! Where is she!?" He started getting out of the bed when Flavia and Basilio stopped him.

"Sit down boy."

"Yes Chrom, we have urgent news right now…" Chrom was confused by this.

"What is it? What's going on here!?" He tried to push past them only to fail.

"That's why we're here now shut the hell up! Listen Chrom I'm gonna tell you that these past few days have been unpeaceful things were going on and they are serious-"

"Flavia just get me up to speed." Then Basilio started saying.

"Boy we are being invaded by characters of another realm or world. So far Valm's been attacked by red haired women, we had a slaughterfest in the forest far north of our cities where a sorceress killed off almost a whole squadron of our best knights. On our way here something happened in Plegia that people were fleeing the castle screaming the little heads off. Calm me crazy but this all must have been planned." Chrom tried taking it all in at once but it wouldn't sink in then Robin started to talk.

"Chrom do you think Midna was here for Ylisse?" Chrom's eyes darted straight at Robin.

"No, that's. That's not possible…" He started mumbling to himself but enough for everyone to hear.

"Chrom listen, when she first arrived she took Frederick down in one blow. I think she was here to take over Ylisse…" Robin stated. Chrom hung his head.

"Where is she?" He grunted

"Chrom. She's nowhere to be found, we only found you passed out in the woods. Maybe if she is doing something she travelled to Plegia." Lissa's hand was on his shoulder.

"Come on Chrom let's set out to Plegia are enigmatic friend might be there, hahaha!" Flavia cheered. As they set out to get ready Lissa walked back into Chrom's room. as he sat on his bed prepared but upset.

"Hey Chrom what's the matter?" She said rubbing his back.

" 's what if she really is the enemy then… (sigh)…" He sighed and stood.

"What Chrom come ooooon tell me, you can tell me it's fine?" She puffed her cheeks as she said it. He smiled at her then proceeded to whisper.

"You can't tell anyone else this okay?..." She nodded. "... I told Midna that I had fallen in love with her and if she is the enemy this will be really hard…" His hand covered his forehead.

"Yep that's a dilemma alright. But Chrom you'll be fine you were fine after we found Robin after he slew Grima. This won't be that much different except it's your love interest, yeah you sure know how to pick'em." She said with sarcasm, cocking her eyebrow up.

"Hey!" Chrom yelled blushing as he chased her, and they were off.

(In Plegia)

"Hey Veran..." A low voice said from behind. "... Is the portal finished yet?"

"General Onox the moment you learn how to do this you can ask otherwise, shut the hell up!" She snapped. "This throne room is perfect for the queen there it's done." And a large portal opened up into a room with candles surrounding a single coffin.

"Do you think Ganon will try to challenge her?" Onox chuckled.

"I sure hope he doesn't if he values his life. Oh look who showed up to the party late. Midna come here we need your help use your magic and cast a spell to hold the portal open." And she did just that. Then three shadow beings come out of the portal with great intimidation. One was big with a yellow striped mage hat, another was the average person's height with a red striped one, and the shortest had a blue stripe one. The shortest began.

"Well, well, well Veran you have all proven yourselves worthy to our cause." She snickered. "ALRIGHT LADIES LET'S GIVE A COLD WELCOME TO THIS WORLD! VIVIAN, MARILYN!" The shortest commanded.

"Y-yes Beldum!" The red hat, Vivian said. "WE ARE!"

"THE THREE!" The yellow hat, Marilyn bellowed out. And the blue hat, Beldum, all said in unison together.

"SHADOW SIRENS! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" And let out the sound of horrifying, shrieky laughs echoing throughout the castle.
