"Have you noticed any patterns with the kidnappings" Lucina asked Shulk and Ike.
Ike shook his head. "Milady you know I'm not the right person for this." He turned to Shulk. "You notice anything odd?"
"No." Shulk said.
The three warriors where looking at a large map of all the dimensions. The map had pins on it, with numbers stating when the person disappeared.
Meta Knight told me if I was going to stay, I better do something other than fuss over Shulk. Lucina thought to herself. Unfair. I care about more than him! I was going to do this anyways.
"Maybe your mother could help you?" Ike suggested.
"If Shulk can't figure this out, no one not even her can figure out what's going on" Lucina mused putting her hand on her chin. "The two of you are practically the same." Is that why I'm in love with him? Because he's just like my mother?
"Maybe they want a war?" Shulk suggested. "I didn't hear Yveltal's story, but what happened to turn her evil must have been awful."
"Either that or there just a bunch of rebellious teenagers who want to have fun when their parents aren't around" Lucina mused.
"That could be the case." Shulk commented. "When Dickson wasn't around I did all kinds of horrible things."
"Did you kill anyone?" Ike asked.
"No, I just read all the books I wasn't allowed to read and experimented with compounds he declared off limits." Shulk replied. "Oh and I also stole some of his candy."
Ike laughed.
A moment later Meta Knight and Lucario stormed into the room followed by a yellow dog who Lucina had never met before.
"You're back!" Lucina said happily. "How was the showcase? I see that you hired a new retainer. You told me only Lucario was planning on it, so I'm guessing she's his."
Meta Knight didn't respond. "Get out the water guns." He said darkly.
"What?" Ike asked. "Pardon me for asking this, but are you on crack?"
"An old enemy of Meta Knight's came back to life!" The dog said. "My name is Isabell and I'm Lucario's new retainer! I'm guessing you're Lucina? Wow you're pretty."
Lucina nodded.
"So you're my new co-worker huh." Ike said as he took out his hand for Isabelle to shake and she took it. "Neat. My name is Ike." He pointed to Shulk with his free hand. "The fuzzball over there is Shulk, Lucina's retainer."
"Nice to meet yo- HEY! I AM NOT A FUZZBALL!" Shulk exclaimed his face turning red.
"Really?" Ike said with a grin. "Because your hair looks pretty fuzzy."
"Did Reyn tell you to do this?" Shulk asked. "Because if so tell him I am not amused. "
"Nah. The only time I really saw him as when I cosplayed as him, and Soren cosplayed as you."
"Back on topic." Lucina said. "What did you say about one of Meta Knight's old enemies coming back to life?"
"It did happen. That's why he's all serious" Lucario said. "The monsters name is Wolfwrath and according to Meta Knight, he's weak against water."
One hour later…
"Are you sure this is going to work?" Lucina asked. "I mean, you want me to warn the villages nearby, while you, Lucario, Shulk and Ike are going to ambush Wolfwrath with water guns?"
The group was on the Hyalia train, with water guns in their arms. The leaders were up front, while the retainers where in the back.
"That is the plan." Lucario said. "Although we have no idea where we're going to find Wolfwrath, or why we're not just pushing Wolfwrath into the ocean."
"We're not pushing him into the ocean because of how heavy he is." Meta Knight mused.
"I'm so confused." Lucario said. "I mean you still haven't told us where we're going, and why Shulk's hanging with me instead of Lucina. Also why is Isabelle doing nothing? And why is Lucina going to the villages? Also how are we going to set up this ambush?"
"I don't have to answer all of that do I?" Meta Knight asked.
"Yes you do." Lucario said.
Meta Knight let out a sigh. "We're going to the same place where we saw Wolfwrath last time, Shulk's going with you because we need a lot of water and the leader of the village has a thing for pretty girls and if Lucina is seen with someone as attractive as Shulk he might not listen to her."
"Wait a second" Lucina interrupted looking alarmed. "This town I'm going to visit… the leaders not a pervert is he?"
Meta Knight nodded. "Yes, he is a bit of a pervert. He had 13 wives who he all dumped because they weren't pretty enough for him anymore. There's no doubt in my mind he'll try to hit on you. But you can handle it can't you?"
"I… I think I can" Lucina said.
"Now." Lucario said angrily. "Tell me HOW WE'RE GOING TO LURE WOLFWRATH!
"Wolfwrath has heat vison." Meta Knight said. "We'll start a fire and he'll stop by to get a snack then BAM! He'll get soaked! Also Isabelle isn't doing anything because I want her to see how battles work. She's already agreed to it."
"Wolfwrath eats fire?" Lucina asked.
Meta Knight nodded. "It's how he recharges. He's always looking for more of it."
"So he's like Natsu from Fairy Tale." Lucario mused. "Neat."
"Here" Meta Knight said handing Lucina and Lucario two bright pink toy walkie talkies that were decorated with purple flowers. "This is how we'll commutate. Isabelle gave them to me. We'll each have one."
"Cool!" Lucario said taking one.
However, the trio has oblivious to the two glaring eyes watching them from behind newspapers.
"Perfect!" Yveltal cried. "The girls going to be alone! I think we'll kill her first!"
"Why aren't you just kidnapping her?" a girl about the age of 16 asked. The girl whore a short black dress that was fitted in the middle and flowed at the end. She also had white hair that was pulled into a ponytail and a red collar around her neck. "Isn't that what you set out to do?"
"Yes but the girl was reasonable for the downfall of one of my closet friends." Yveltal said making a sad face. "She deserves to die Darkrai! As the retainer of the leader of our fighting force you should understand that. Speaking of that how are the three mortals we made our admins doing?"
"Getting them to agree was a piece of cake." Darkrai said. "They said the plan was too evil at first and that they'd never join us but the second I threatened to kill their loved ones they shut right up!" Darkrai said with a laugh. "Mortals are so interesting. They don't care who beats the crap out of them, but the second someone lays a finger on a family member they freak out."
"You got that quote from Fullmetal Alchemist didn't you" Yveltal said sounding bored.
"Is there a problem with that?" Darkrai asked. "Anyways I'll set the order." She grabbed a card and whispered "Now listen Wolfwrath. Your job is to murder Lucina Shepard and kill anyone else who gets in your way. Got that?"
The card glowed.
"Good." Darkrai said with a smile.
One hour later…
I'm going in" Lucina whispered into the walkie talkie.
She was off the train and about to enter the village. The others had gone off to set up a fire at someplace called the golden oasis.
This plan has too many holes in it. Lucina thought to herself while putting her hair up into a ponytail. But oh well. It's too late to turn back now. Man this place is hot.
The village was in the middle of a dessert, with houses made of cloth and ropes. In the middle of it all was a huge castle made of gold.
Where did they get all that gold? And why didn't he spend it on improving the lives of his people? These houses could really use an upgrade. I can already tell this man is going to be selfish.
Lucina walked up to the door. Here it goes" she thought knocking on the door.
A guard opened the door. He looked at Lucina then smiled. "FINALLY! Opps." The guard said looking embarrassed. "Did I just say that out loud?" Not waiting for her answer he continued "Are you here to see King Stump?"
Lucina nodded. "I have a-"
"Don't worry!" The guard said. "I'll take you to him right away!"
"But we were here first!" a man with long brown hair complained. His companion was a women with long purple hair.
"Go home!" The guard exclaimed.
The man looked relived as he walked away.
Was he… staring at my sword? And why do I feel like I've seen him before?
Lucina was lead into the halls of the palace, until finally they reached the throne room. In the middle of the throne room was a fat man with short black hair. That must be King Stump. The man's eyes instantly lit up when he saw Lucina. Oh no.
"Well, well. What do we have here?" The man said with a frog like voice. "You! Guard! Go tend to the people!"
"Yes sir." The guard said racing back outside.
"Greetings." Lucina said. "My name is Lucina and I've come t-"
"Now now." The man said walking up to her and putting his hands on the sides of her chest and tracing them down to her waist. "There's no need to get all worked up so early. Let's talk."
Lucina felt a glimpse of fear. "Listen there's no time to waste! A monsters on the loose around here. You need to evacuate the people!" This creep is lucky father isn't here. But make no mistake. Once this nightmare is over I will tell Chrom all about this.
"Ahh." King Stump purred. "You're so lovely. I mean aside from the flat chest of course." He put his face so close to hers and leaned in even closer. "And your lips…"
"BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!" a voice screamed interrupting him.
Lucina turned around to see a man, about the age of 13 watching tv while in chains. The boy had pink hair tied in pigtails and two horns on the side of his head. And rings. The boy was wearing more rings then Lucina could count.
A picture flashed on the TV. Four men who looked exactly the same where dancing. Lucina only caught four words they sang "We are number one."
The boy laughed again and changed the channel. "According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly." The tv boomed. The boy laughed again and changed the channel. This time there was a picture of a gorilla dragging a young child across a surface of water. And once again the boy laughed.
"EXCAUSE ME!" King Stump snarled. I GAVE YOU A PLACE TO SLEEP, FOOD, WATER AND A TV AND YOU INTERUPT ME WHILE I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING IMPORTANT?!
"Gave me a place to sleep?" The boy laughed. "From what I recall Fatso, you kidnapped me from the hall of gods, forced me to summon a bunch gold for you then chained me up!"
"WHAT!" Lucina screamed. Calming down she added "You kidnapped a child?"
"Do you recall what he said about the hall of gods?" King Stump snared. "This boy is a god! I kidnapped him for self-defense!"
Not listening to King Stump, Lucina ran over to the boy and cut his chains. A weird purple glow formed around him.
"Thank you!" The boy screamed. All of a sudden the boy started to grow smaller until he was a strange genie like creature. He laughed. "WHERE YOU SURPRISED"
Lucina screamed in surprise. "What… WHAT ARE YOU?"
"I'm Hoopa! God of portals and the master of dimensions!"
"So…" Lucina said calming down. "You're a god?"
Hoopa opened a portal and grabbed a donut out of it. "YUP!"
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" King Stump snarled. "YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!"
"Listen Fatso" Hoopa said before Lucina could respond. "I'm leaving with this nice lady and granting her a wish and my undying servitude for a year!"
"WHAT!" Lucina said surprised. "But… you're a god!"
"A god who needs an excuse for disobeying Arceus's orders! Serving you would be perfect!" Hoopa said taking a bite of his donut.
"What order did he give you?" Lucina asked.
Before Hoopa could respond King Stump let out a scream of pain. When she turned around she saw a large red wolf-life creature leaning over him. The creature leaned down and bit King Stump, whose eyes turned colorless and bleak.
Shit! I forgot about Wolfwrath!
"Leave this to me." Hoopa whispered to Lucina. Hoopa took off one of his rings and a portal appeared. "ALE HOOPA RING!" Hoopa screamed as a blue haired man about the age of 30 jumped out. "Now Kyorge! Kill this monster!" he turned to Lucina. "Let's get out of here!"
"But what about the people of this town!" Lucina shouted.
"They'll be fine!" Hoopa opened another ring. "Listen Lucy I just saved you from that creep! Just hop in and trust me!"
Lucina thought for a minute. "Alright." She finally said. "My father taught me it was better to trust people then to distrust them. My friends are at the Golden Oasis. Can you locate that?"
"Already did!" Hoopa screamed. "Just hop in!"
Lucina took a deep breath. Then she jumped in with Hoopa close behind.
Meanwhile
"Master." A man with long brown hair said. "I couldn't get into the castle. I failed."
"You did WHAT!" Darkrai snarled. "Do have any idea how much we needed Hoopa for our plan? You've made us start off from block one! Ohhhh I knew I never should have made you an admin!" Darkrai grabbed out a knife. "Now if you excuse me, I have a person to kill."
The man pulled out a kantana. "Do so much as touch her and I will kill you" he snarled.
"Relax Dunban." Darkrai said with a laugh. "I was talking about Lucina. Yveltal wants her head for some reason. She would ask for the boys, if he didn't have that… what was it? Oh right! Medical condition that will most likely kill him! As for you… you're staying Galaxia Knight's admin. For now. But mark my word, if you screw up I will kill her."
Dunban let out a breath of relief. "What medical condition does the boy have?"
"A disease given to him by his former mentor!" Darkrai said with a smile. "It will kill him in the next four years or so! Now if you excuse me I have to talk to second. And remember."
"Don't disappoint me again."
*Lets out breaths of relief." Thank god I finished that! I'd like to take a minute and apologize for that scene that was kinda rapey. I really need to see a therapist. This is what happens when you watch too much Black Butler. Anyways, stay tuned for the next chapter! :P
