The Wolfskin and The Songstress

Revelation

It was all mano e mano as our heroes were determined to vanquish Praxina and her duplicate army. Talia readied herself as one of the duplicates charged towards her. She lept up in the air to avoid the duplicate, landed on some sort of crystal platform and fired not one, but twenty tiny crystal darts. Each dart managed to shatter the duplicate in pieces.

Talia: Weak.

Talia noticed Corrin fighting another duplicate using his Yato and lept over to help.

Talia: Need a hand?
Corrin: Thank you.

Corrin went for it and attacked the duplicate, only for it to deflect the attack. It then proceeded to fire magenta crystals at the prince, only for Talia to summon her crystal shield and protect him.

Talia: Krystarmum! Are you okay?

After Talia lowered her shield, Corrin took the opportunity to strike. With one slash of his mighty blade, Corrin shattered another duplicate to pieces.

Corrin: It's over.

Meanwhile, Lyna and Carissa were fighting two more duplicates. One duplicate shot more magenta crystals and struck Carissa down.

Lyna: Carissa!

Before it had the chance to finish the Calixian princess off once and for all, Lyna struck it down first. As soon as she recovered, Carissa managed to shoot the duplicate with her crystals, dealing it severe damage. Lyna delivered the final blow, causing the duplicate to recieve the same fate as earlier and the other to start retreating.

Lyna: The other one is getting away.
Carissa: Not on my watch!

Carissa entrapped the other duplicate in her own crystal. She then shattered the trap, as well as the duplicate inside.

Carissa: Done.
Lyna: I'm not even gonna ask how you did that.

Meanwhile, Iris was dealing with another duplicate. The duplicate was firing magenta darts at her, but she was dodging every single one, proving to be a difficult target. She was on the roof of the cave as the duplicate was about to give up. She started purposely falling as she charged up her next spell.

Iris: Krystal Tectus!

As she landed, Iris sent a multitude of crystals shooting from the ground. One of those crystals managed to skewer the duplicate, shattering it to pieces.

Iris: Okay… not what I was expecting, but okay.

Iris then noticed Kaden fighting another duplicate and offered to help.

Kaden: Iris! Am I glad to see you.
Iris: Likewise. *gasp* Incoming! Krystarmum!

The duplicate was shooting more crystals than the previous duplicates, but Iris managed to block them with her shield. As soon as the shield was lowered, the duplicate found Kaden in his beast form and Iris with her wand.

Iris: Time to show off.

The two friends charged towards the duplicate, with Iris flipping over to behind the duplicate. Kaden then launched it in the air with his tail.

Iris: Batter up!

Iris' wand had become a sword, and with it she slashed the duplicate to pieces.

Iris: Phew.
Kaden: *goes back to normal* High five! *two friends high five each other*

Meanwhile, Auriana and Keaton were facing off against the final two duplicates. Keaton turned into his beast form, ready to fight. One duplicate charged towards the two and lept up in the air.

Auriana: Give me a boost!

Keaton helped Auriana get up in the air. Auriana then used the one millisecond she had to cast a spell, causing the duplicate to land in a crystal trap. The other duplicate shot more magenta darts at the two just as Auriana landed. Keaton went by his gut instincts and swatted the darts away. Auriana then went ahead and used her ribbon. She caught the duplicate by the torso and flung it to her companion, who then punched it so hard it landed by the trap and caused both duplicates to disintegrate.

Auriana: *in shock* Wow!
Keaton: *goes back to his normal form* Yeah. *the two proceed to fist bump*
Praxina: You two are very destructive if you ask me.

Our heroes suddenly surrounded the real Praxina, rendering her helpless.

Corrin: It's over, Praxina. You've got  nowhere else to run.
Praxina: *bows her head in fake shame* You're right, I have got nowhere else to run… except at the border of Nohr and Hoshido!

Praxina channeled a powerful burst of dark energy, which she used to send everyone flying in different directions.

Praxina: See you never, losers. *evil laugh, teleports away*
Kaden: *groan* That wasn't very nice.
Iris: No, it wasn't.
Keaton: What are we going to do? We've lost Praxina.
Corrin: And it's not like we can teleport to either kingdom.
Talia: Or can we? *Amaru jumps into her arms* Show 'em what you got, Amaru.

Amaru jumped out of Talia's arms and transformed into his pegasus form.

Corrin: Incredible.
Keaton: Awesome.
Kaden: So cool!
Talia: Mmm hmm. Come on, we have to get there before Praxina does anything stupid.
Iris: Wait! Amaru can't carry everyone on his back.
Corrin: I have an idea. As soon as I transform, Talia, Lyna, Iris and Kaden, hop on my back.
Talia: *shyly* You know how much I want to ride a dragon. *pouts, then smirks*

As soon as Corrin transformed, Amaru opened a portal to the border of Nohr and Hoshido. With Talia, Lyna, Iris and Kaden on Corrin's back and Carissa, Auriana and Keaton on Amaru's back, everyone headed to stop Praxina's disastrous plans.

************After a while**************

Everyone is safely teleported to the entrance of Nestra, which is considered to be the border of Hoshido and Nohr. Corrin and Amaru turned back to normal as soon as everyone else got off their backs.

Talia: The kingdom of Nestra. I've been researching about this place.
Corrin: It's best to stay on your toes, everyone. Nestra may be neutral, but it gets violent if you intend to start a fight.
Iris: Which Praxina might be doing for who knows what.

Before you know it, Iris' pendant started glowing again.

Kaden: Iris! Your pendant is glowing.
Iris: Au bien. We have to start investigating.
Lyna: Well, we can't just go looking like this. Ladies, by me.

The other princesses stand by Lyna. Lyna then casts a spell that transforms them into Nestrian settlers.

Lyna: Eh? Not bad, right?
Keaton: That's actually not a bad idea.
Kaden: I agree.
Corrin: So do I.
Auriana: Come on. We have to get inside and investigate. There are countless lives at stake.
