"So" Meta Knight said. "Where are we going again?"

"I already told you" Lucina said angrily. "We're going to the temple of Hyrule. And not the stage. The real one. After we go there you guys follow the plan.

"Um… Lucy I don't mean to criticize you but…" Shulk started.

"Listen I know you're going to say it's too dangerous but it's the only way we'll be able to catch these guys. We don't have a choice." Lucina said.

"That's the thing Lucina" Meta Knight said "You never told us your plan."

Lucina slapped her head. Shit. How could I have forgotten? Mother would be disappointed. "Alright. Here's the plan. Just promise me you won't say it's too dangerous."

"I promise I won't say its true dangerous." Shulk said.

Oh no Lucina thought not this feeling again. This… warmth I felt around Shulk for the past three months. You think I'd learn after being dumped by all five boyfriends for being too serious, but no. It still keeps on happening DAMNIT! Besides he already has Fiora. He'd never leave her for me. She means everything to him. Yet… I still want to be with him more than anything else in the world…

"Lucy" Meta Knight said. "Are you going to tell us the plan?"

"Oh right!" Lucina smiled. "I'm going to use myself as bait."

"No way!" Shulk yelled immediately.

Meta Knight jumped on top of Shulk's head. "What happened to not saying it's too dangerous?"

"I didn't say it was too dangerous. I just said I wouldn't let her go" Shulk said. "There's a difference. Also are you going to get off my head?" Shulk pointed up towards Meta Knight.

"No" Meta Knight said. "Just don't move."

Shulk looked like he wanted to protest but he didn't.

Lucina felt like her heart was doing somersaults. He's worried about me, he's worried about me, he's worried about me!

"WAIT!" a voice screamed.

The trio turned around to see a young girl, about the age of 14. The girl had two long purple braids, both pulled back with red ribbons, a red cape and green eyes. A sliver bow was in her hands.

"You can use me as bait instead!" the girl yelled. "I might not look like but I'm a princess from the kingdom of Nohr!"

Lucina suddenly felt uncomfortable. "Where you… spying on us?"

"Sorry. It's an old habit." The girl said. "My name is Nina, and as I mentioned earlier, I'm a princess of Nohr. Sorry I followed you, but all Aunt Corrin cares about is clearing Takumi's name, and all of the guys in your army are, well hanging out with girls, which is so not interesting. Really puts a dent in my people watching. And I saw you guys leaving so I figured you must be doing something interesting! Beside it beats hanging out with my dad."

"You currently talk a lot" Meta Knight mused. "So Corrin's your aunt, and you're a princess of Nohr. And since you have purple hair I'm guessing you're the daughter of Camillia and Niles."

"Wow." Nina said. "You're good. Yep, my parents are princess Camillia and Niles- who I'm not calling a prince because of how embarrassing he is. A prince wouldn't do the stuff he does."

"I'm still uncomfortable with using either one of you as bait." Shulk said.

"Come on. No one cares about what happens to m-"Nina stopped midway and smiled. "I just realized something. You're super cute."

Shulk's face turned red. "Wha- I mean thanks, no I mean-"Shulk's eyes suddenly turned a blinding shade of blue.

Meta Knight jumped off Shulk's head. "Did you have a vision" he asked.

Shulk nodded. "Quickly" he said sounding scared. "Hide."

The four heroes ducked behind a bush. "Shulk…" Lucina said "what's going-"

She was interrupted by a bright red flash that landed the exact same place they were just standing.

Lucina fell backwards and was caught by one of her friends. "Thank you" she breathed looking at the ground below her. I wonder who caught me. It couldn't have been Meta Knight, he's way too small. Maybe Nina? Nah she's not this tall either. Heck she's smaller than me. But that could only mean…

"N-no problem" Shulk responded blushing madly.

Lucina felt herself start to blush. What do I do? He's carrying me… again! This is the second time this has happened. Should I kiss him? The thought seconds so tempting. Damnit snap out of it Lucina!

"Guys look." Meta Knight said.

Lucina, Shulk and Nina all turned around to see four figures emerge from the light. Three of them wore tuxedos with sacks with painted on faces and the fourth was a women about the age of 25 with long red and black hair and a red and black dress with a grey scarf while the fifth was a man with black hair and a tuxedo.

The women turned around the look at the man. "You said there where royals here."

"Wha- that's so strange. I sensed them here I swe- ARRRGHH" the man screamed as the women struck her sword into his chest. Blood oozed out of his chest.

"What the heck" Nina said sounding a little bit scared. "Who is this women?"

"Did you have to kill him Velty?" one of the men with the sack heads asked. When the talked the poorly drawn on illustration began to move like it was his mouth. "I liked him. He was fun."

"I'm certain!" the women snapped. "And I have a name you know! Its Yveltal remember? Or can your puny little brain not comprehend that?"

Yveltal Lucina thought. Where have I heard that name before…?

"META KNIGHT! LUCINA! SHULK! NINA!" a voice yelled.

Lucina froze with horror. Someone came looking for us. And now they're going to get themselves killed.

Yveltal froze as well. Then she smiled with joy. "Someone's here." She mused.

"Lucy." Shulk said. "Are you scared?"

"Never!" Lucina said. Only then did she realize that she was hugging Shulk tightly while trembling with fear.

"We have to run now!" Nina yelled.

"But what about the person who was looking for us?" Shulk asked. "It sounded like the male wii fit trainer!"

The same person who spoke earlier screamed with pain.

"It's too late for them now!" Meta Knight yelled. "Quickly run!"

Instantly the three warriors took off.

Lucina felt a stab of embarrassment. I fought Grima every single day. So why do I need to be carried? But at the same time I feel so… warm. It's a nice feeling.

"How do you now no one else is searching for us?" Nina asked.

"Mario, Samus, Link and Sonic have all decided to send one person out at a time" Meta Knight answered.

"What do they have to do with anything?" Lucina asked.

"Master hand appointed them to be his generals." Meta Knight said. "They make all of the major decisions now. I think I'm going to apply to become one."

Lucina felt a sense of horror. Two innocent people died here tonight. Because of me. What have I done? Mother is Ylisse's master tactician and queen. Father slayed two wolf packs with nothing but a sword. But me? All I do is run away and dream stupid dreams.

What have I done?
