"Jade, do you have any idea why the heroes are here?! They shouldn't be here at all!" Emperor Ruby shouted. Jade stared at him and then back down at herself. "JADE, DO YOU-"

"Ruby, I have no idea what they are doing here..." Empress Jade replied. Ruby looked down in anger and then took a deep breath. "Besides, why does that worry you? They're the heroes of Dawn, they're going to find a way to keep this place safe!"

Ruby explained, "I don't have a problem with the heroes if they stayed in their small town on the outskirts of Dawn City... I've been entrusted with protecting Dawn city. Suddenly the heroes show up and many of the citizens act like I don't exist. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT LOGIC!?!"

"I don't know sir... I just know they're going to be visiting, they don't seem to be doing any harm," Jade replied. Ruby took a moment to pause but then his anger filled his body again. "Ruby you need to learn to calm yourself down, if you want the heroes to respect you then you have to learn to control your anger-"

"I have no choice but find a way to get them out of here... they're going to cause problems..." Ruby muttered while clenching his fist. Jade looked at Ruby in concern and then noticed he pulled up a board filled with different... obstacles. "Which one is going to be the best one is the question..."

Jade replied, "Ruby this is a horrible idea, the heroes are never going to leave if you're going to cause mayhem yourself. Just let them explore for a bit and eventually they'll leave."

"EVENTUALLY?!! I WANT THEM GONE NOW!" Ruby shouted. He was hovering his hand over the nuke button and Jade knew she had to act quick. She put her hand on Ruby's hand and attempted to stop him.

"RUBY YOU NEED TO STOP! YOU ARE NOT SENDING THAT OUT! YOU WILL BE ENDANGERING THE PEOPLE!" Jade shouted.

Ruby yelled, "YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO JADE! I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM DOING!" Then he freed his hand and slammed his hand on the button. That button then shot out a nuke.

"RUBY!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!? I TRIED TO STOP YOU BUT NOW YOU SENT THE NUKE OUT JUST TO MURDER THE HEROES?!"

"WHY DOES IT MATTER?! I JUST NEED TO GET RID OF THEM!!" Ruby screamed. He looked at the screen and left the room.

Jade screamed, "NO!! STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING NUKE!! DO NOT PREPARE TO LAUNCH!!"

"Speeding up the launching process," The computer replied. The countdown went from 5 minutes down to 1 minute.

Jade asked, "What do I do!? It'll only listen to Ruby's voice!" She looked at the screen and dashed out of the room. She ran out of the building and looked around. Then she noticed the nuke being launched. "NO!" She tried to sense where the heroes were located but they were located at different places. But it was most likely going for the bigger group.

Jade asked, "Am I going to make it to them in time?!" She looked around and heard rumbling. The nuke was being launched. "If the heroes are in the city... it's going to kill MORE THAN JUST THE HEROES OH MY GOD!" She jumped onto a building and dashed her way to the heroes. The heroes all decided to get a drink at the local cafe.

"Don't... you think it's a little darker around here?" Hajime questioned. The heroes looked over and noticed something in the distance.

Mario asked, "What... is that?" The nuke was heading directly their way. Jade was still dashing her way. Meanwhile, Chrom and Byleth were driving around the city again trying to buy some food for the heroes. Right as they were heading back to the heroes, Chrom spotted the nuke.

"BYLETH!" Chrom grabbed Byleth by the coat and they stopped. They noticed the nuke heading down at rapid speeds.

"WHAT THE HELL?! IS SOMETHING BOMBING DAWN CITY?!" Chrom looked up and looked around.

Chrom shouted, "IT'S GOING AFTER THE SPOT WHERE THE HEROES ARE!! STEP ON THE GAS!!" Byleth nodded and sped up the vehicle. Jade kept on running but it seemed like the nuke was faster than she was. Only minutes away before nuking down the entire city.

Jade grumbled, "Ruby you idiot... why would you attempt to nuke the entire city?!" Byleth and Chrom arrived while Albedo and Zhongli were preparing a shield.

Byleth asked, "IS THIS EVERYONE?!" The heroes nodded and noticed the nuke was coming closer in their direction. "OH GODS!"

"That's not good at all... that's not good!!" Elfilin yelled while panicking. The heroes all gathered closer together as Zhongli and Albedo placed the shield around the heroes.

Kirby asked, "ARE WE REALLY GOING TO DIE NOW?! WHO DECIDED THIS WAS GOING TO BE A GOOD IDEA?!" The heroes all looked to where the Nuke was heading and it was going faster and faster.

"GAH! WE'RE ALL DONE FOR!" Elfilin screamed. Chrom grabbed Elfilin and gently patted him as they all huddled together.

Sonic muttered, "Looks like it's it everyone..." Then they started to feel the ground beneath them shaking. The heroes gathered closer together as they all felt the ground shaking more and more. Kirby looked up at the sky for a moment with fear.

"NO!!! CRAP!!! WHAT THE HELL?!" Kirby screamed. Then...
