Ow. Ow, ow OW! Shulk winced in pain. That battle did not make my lungs any better. But I can't let Lady Lucina know. Or Hoopa for that matter.

"Come on." Lucina said. The trio was standing outside of Impa's door.

"Why do we have to thank Impa again?" Hoopa asked.

"Because." Lucina said. "She helped us out. Also I'd like to invite her to join the fighting force."

"But…" Shulk said feeling confused. "We just met her."

"It's important to give people a chance" Lucina said. Taking a deep breath she knocked on the door.

But no one answered.

"Huh." Hoopa said. "How strange. Maybe she isn't home."

"No." Lucina said. "I have a feeling something else is going on."

She opened the door took a look inside then screamed.

"What is it?" Hoopa asked. He took a look inside and his eyes widened. "WHAT THE HELL?" he screamed.

"Let me see." Shulk said. The second he looked at the inside of the house he froze with horror.

All of the pictures of Disney characters where replaced with pictures of Disney villains and the walls had a message written in blood. And in the middle of it all, laying in a pool of blood, was the corpse that used to be Impa.

Impa had been horribly mauled. All of her vital organs where spread out on the ground and two sliver forks pierced her eyes.

"Who… who did this?" Shulk whispered.

"Yveltal obviously!" Hoopa snarled. "I couldn't be more obvious if she stood on top of Prism Tower with a huge sign that said 'I JUST MAULED SOMEONE' while screaming that on the top of her lungs!"

"I agree." Lucina said. "But something doesn't feel right." She sounded terrified. "How did they know we were here?"

Meanwhile from the outside a figure with a white ponytail watched them. The figure smiled than vanished.

"I'll go tell the police." Lucina said. "Hoopa, you summon Lucario, Meta Knight and Mist. Shulk you look for clues."

She bolted not looking back once.

"Alright then" Hoopa said not sounding shaken. "Let's get to work."

"WHY AREN'T YOU TERRIFIED?" Shulk screamed. "THAT IS BY FAR THE CREEPIST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!"

"Please pretty boy" Hoopa said. "When you binge watch Akame ga Kill, Elfen Lied, Corpse Party, Tokyo Ghoul, Future Diary and Attack on Titian, you don't get freaked out by a little blood." Hoopa held up a ring, opening a portal. A few seconds later Mist, Lucario, Meta Knight, Isabell and Ike all jumped out.

"So what's going on…? AHHHHHHH!" Isabell screamed. She bolted towards Shulk and gave him a hug.

"What… the… HECK HAPPENED HERE?" Ike roared.

"Someone snuck in and killed her." Shulk said. "We don't know who though- ACHOO!"

"Are you alright?" Mist asked Shulk.

"I'm just fine." Shulk lied. "Nothing wrong with me!"

"I'll tell the master immediately." Meta Knight said. "Come on Lucario, get off the ground."

He must have fainted. Shulk thought to himself. I can't blame him.

"I'm up!" Lucario screamed. "Now where's Lucina?"

As if fate had beckoned her Lucina ran through the doors. "Everyone in the town is in the same condition!" She huffed.

"WHAT!" Ike hissed. "The whole entire town was killed?"

Lucina nodded.

"The masters coming right now." Meta Knight said. "All of our retainers expect Shulk, go to the outskirts of town and look around. Shulk, you go with Mist to the lake. It's easy to find. Lucina, Lucario you stay with me."

"RIGHT!" Everyone said at the same time.

Five minutes later

"So." Shulk said. "What's this about?" I already know this is about my sickness. So why am I even asking?"

They were near thelake, close to the others but not close enough that people could hear them.

"It's about you're cancer." Mist said. "Tomorrow you're going through radiation therapy to try and cure you. But it will take a while to go away. And because you're the first patient I've ever tried to cure with this disease, well there's a good chance I might mess up."

"It's alright" Shulk said. "I'll do it. Anything to get better. Are…"

"Meta Knight and Lucina ok with it." Mist finished his sentence. "They agreed to it just now."

Suddenly the bushes began to rustle.

Shulk picked up the monado. Ouch. Has it gotten heavier? He put it on strength and said "Come out! Wherever you are! You have a lot to answer to!"

But instead of a dangerous killer, Ike stormed out of the bushes.

Shulk froze with shock. "What are you doing here?"

Ike didn't answer. "It appears I was right." He said. "You're not in perfect health."

"Brother." Mist said.

"Wait a second!" Shulk said. "You two are related?"

Ike nodded. "Yup. We're siblings even though we look nothing alike. Now back on topic."

Shulk sighed. "It appears you caught me."

"Did you really think you could keep this a secret forever?" Ike asked putting his hands on his hips.

"Ike… listen I'm really touched you care but please." Shulk said. "Keep my cancer a secret."

Ike's eyes grew wide. "I didn't know it was cancer!" he cried. "Why are you even still fighting in this war? Lucina should doc you from your duties!"

"She tried to." Mist said. "But Shulk insisted on fighting. He's the only one of us with the power to kill Yveltal. You heard what he did to Pyrrhon didn't you?"

"I guess." Ike said.

"Good." Shulk said. "Then promise you'll keep this a secret. If it got out to the others, I don't know what I'd do. I'm especially don't know what I'm going to tell my friends from Bionis."

"Alright" Ike agreed. "Now come on. Lucina needs to talk to you and Hoopa."

Ten minutes later

"YOU DID WHAT!" Shulk cried ignoring the pain in his chest.

"Is that a problem?" Lucina asked.

"Yes it's a problem!" Hoopa said. "You just arranged a meeting with First, the only admin we know nothing about! And here of all places! Why?"

"Because." Lucina said. "We need peace. If he or she learns what Darkrai did to everyone in the village, there's no way he'll still follow her!"

"We don't even know that Darkrai did this!" Shulk snapped.

"Yes we do." Lucina said. "On the wall of the sheriff's office there was a message from Darkrai. She revealed she did all of this."

"Well, alright" Hoopa said. "If that's what you want. I'll be ready to deal with both of his retainers."

"He has three now." Lucina revealed. "Blows my mind Galaxia Knight would try to keep it as uneven as that. I mean third only has one!"

"Wait a second." Shulk said. "I won't be there! Remember!"

Lucina took a deep breath. "That's true. But I'll be ok. We can't cancel your appointment."

"Appointment?" Hoopa asked looking up. "What's that about?"

"NOTHING!" Shulk said quickly.

Meanwhile…

"Are you really going through with this?" a man asked his lord. "I mean c'mon! We know nothing about her!"

"I'm certain." The man said. "Maybe she has a good reason for summoning me." Maybe she can free me. He thought to himself.

"With all due respect." A young blue haired girl said. "I don't think it's smart. I mean… OH NO!"

"Is there something wrong?" the first retainer asked.

"I'm having a hair crisis!" the girl screamed while grabbing a brush.

"Again?" Meloetta rolled her eyes.

"Anyways." The man said. "I'm going to meet with her. She's a good person, for asking to meet in peace."

The man snorted. "She could mean pieces."

"Let's hope not!" the girl said while brushing her hair. "Anyways I respect you're decisions. And I will follow you tomorrow."

"Lord Chrom."
