New World New Hell

The Gates of Hell are Waiting. Let Them Wait a Little More.

I know the popularity of this series has pretty much died out and the author of the manga being "Off the Map" doesn't help either. But I still think that anyone should give it another shot if they happen to come across it. And if the beginning seems a bit rushed then that's up to you. But I'll be sure to rewrite it when I think of a better idea.

Robin is female in this story and yes. There will be spoilers for both FE and Anima+

P.s In this story. Senri's name is pronounced "Hen-ree"

Play RED - Condor

It was a two years since the professor decided to fly away into that flock. Senri has been able to slightly control his full bear transformation. But not enough to resist to try to kill everyone. Not that he wimped out from killing people though. He'd do it if he deemed it necessary. Even though Nama, Husky, and Cooro didn't seem to like it.

Senri saw as that Cooro, Nana, and Husky is still as happy as ever…. But little did he know when it wasn't going to last long. Nobody could have predicted it. But then again if Senri were not to allow them to take a mission from a very sketchy person

Senri was walking with his three friends through a strange but weathered and wrecked tunnel village

"Oh man oh man! I'm so excited!" Said Cooro

"Calm down Cooro! Or else I'll tell Rose what you snagged from her" said Husky

"No wait! I'll call down I promise!" Said Cooro

"*Sigh* Oh those two. They'll never change said Nana "Am I right Senri?"

"…..sure" said Senri

"I'm glad you agree. Now then how does my hair look?" said Nana

"…" said Senri as he senses that a monster is watching making him look around to see what's going on. He then picks up a boulder and notices a giant beast was waiting for them

"Husky!" said Cooro as they both used their staffs to attack the beast seeing that it did not seem to work

"Well well well. You stupid kids decided to fall for it. But please the world would be better off without you three" said An unimportant bad guy

"You… you tricked us!" said Husky

"Of course I tricked you. It got you here didn't it?" said the bad guy. "Now then." The bad guy then light a bunch of matches starting to light a fire. The beast finally came our of it's hiding place. Nana hides behind Senri. Sadly. Sending knew what kind of trap this was. And it was kind of a giveaway when the tunnels started to collapse

"Toodles!" said the unimportant bad guy as he leaves

"Get back here!" said Husky

"Don't worry Husky. We'll get him soon" said Cooro "We'll get him soon like we always do"

Then the fire was starting to surround the four of them as the beast continues to them

"Guy we need to split!" said Nana as they make a run for it from the beast. While Sending ran he grabs a boulder and throws it at the beast's head making it briefly lose its sense of direction and runs into the wall

"Cooro, Nana, Fly out of here"!" said Husky

"But what about you guys!?" said Cooro. Senri sees that that he and Nana could make it to the exit. But he and Husky cannot. Unless….

"We'll catch up with you! Just go!" said Husky and Cooro and Nana reluctantly flies ahead "Senr-wah!? What are you doing!?" said Husky as Senri grabs Husky by the back of his shirt

"I'm….Sorry. tell them all…. I'm sorry.. I hope you can forgive me" said Senri as he throws Husky far enough for him to be able to reach the exit before the collapse. Husky was surprised that Senri spoke at a time like this when he almost always only grunts or At most a short sentence. Sure the way he said it was broken. But it definitely means something is wrong

"Wait Senri!" said Husky he was just about to run back to Senri only for a bunch of rocks get in his way "Noooooooooo!" he then looks up to see he needs to get our of there.

Senri then turns around to see the a guy red eyes if the beast he may have just pissed off. Senri draws his blade and turns his right hand into a bear claw. The beast seemed to only get angrier at him. He then slashes the side of it's head. It came to Senri's horror that it did not put a dent in those scales of that beast thing. To Senri it kind of looked a cross between a monkey and a lizard.

He tries to slash the beast with his sword. But it did not put a dent or a cut either. And he doubts his knife can do the trick if it's skin is able to handle his sword and claw. He then puts his sword back into the case and tried to runs direction to distracted it. But the beast caught onto this as he runs deeper into the collapsing tunnels going further underground

The beast then nearly engulfs Senri in it's mouth. Senri desperately using his strength to keep it's mouth from shutting completely. He then sees that a tooth may be loose. He the uses one of his legs to kick the tooth. To his surprise it actually worked. He kicked that tooth right out of it's socket causing the beast to open it's mouth. Giving Senri the chance to jump out. The beast was about to give chase until a huge rock fell upon it's head causing it to be distracted

"Senri! Are you in there!" said a muffled voice. The fire was making it hard for Senri to breathe but he ran towards the direction of the voice he recognized as Cooro's despite the fact that it is more fiery. Sure it wasn't a smart idea but if he could hear Cooro's voice through the flaming debris then it definitely meant that the rock wall is not that thin. Senri then frantically removes the rocks from the rock wall hoping for it to go down

"Rooooooaaaar!" roared the beast as it chases after Senri. It uses it's powerful arm to sway Senri knocking him into a flaming house.

Senri was now very hurt from that swat. His then tries to get up only to fall down. He then sees a handle on the ground. He notices that it may lead to a basement. He desperately tries to crawl towards the handle but then... Part of the ceiling then falls on him. And he sees his blood splattered across where the debris hit him…

He grunts in pain….

He then sees that his eyes are getting heavy from the pain. Was this the end for him? He fell for a suicide mission/trap. He knows he at least got to save Husky. But… It got him to be scared if he'll ever see his friends again. Normally he would be able to shrug off some debris that falls on him. But not seen the debris is on fire when he is really weak right now

"Cooro…..Husky…..Nana…..Rose…. I have failed you all" thought Senri as a lone tear goes down his eye he starts to close his eyes as he sees the beast. Senri then thinks about taking off his eye patch. Senri decided not to because every time he did…. Well… things go 'out of control'

Then his eyes started to close as he last sees the beast slowly walking towards which he assumes that it's doing it to generate fear. But Senri is more afraid of never seeing his friends again than he is of the beast. His eyes are starting to get heavy… he can't seem to stay awake…. His body just wants to sleep… as he slowly blinks.. he can see a pool of his blood get bigger and bigger as the beast continues to approach him… then. He closes his eyes fully…

Then. He sees all black. Nothing but blackness

"Am I…. Dead?" thought Senri as he continues to see nothing but darkness. Then he starts hearing a voice

Wake Up

Senri then begins to open his eyes. He then sees that he is on what appear to be an island. He runs towards the edges he sees that it is endless sky. He looks to see two bridges what appears to lead to two different islands. One is a pillar of Iron.

The other is a pillar of diamond…. Senri reaches into his pocket and picks out a somewhat crudely drawn picture of him, Nana, Cooro, and Husky all holding hands…. Senri looks at for a moment… he feels like he has just lost everything…

But yet he feels like he is still with them… he gets up and puts the picture into his pocket and starts walking towards the pillar of Iron… he has a feeling in his gut that the diamond one is a trap. Then he sees a strange looking object. Senri wondered what would happen if he touched the thing.

But then the diamond island started to crumble and fall.. then the island he was just on began to crumble and fall

"!" said Senri as the island he is on starts to crumble. He then holds onto the strange object and closes his eyes. He was expecting to fall. But. He felt nothing happened. He was scared to open his eyes. But yet he felt he had to see why he didn't feel like he was falling.

He felt a bright light shine upon his eye lids. He tries to keep his eyes closed but he felt like he really had to open them. He sees that he is under a tree…. He looks to his left and sees a lake.

He runs to the lake and takes a look at himself. He sees that nothing about his appearance has changed, even the eye patch.. Strangely enough his clothes are still the same, he still has his sword, he still has his small bag, and he still has his book. But he then reaches into his pocket to see that even the crudely drawn picture of him and his friends

"Just what happened?" thought Senri as he begins to wonder what has just happened to him and how did he get here. He puts the picture back into his pocket. He gets up decides to walk through the forest. He then sees a flower he has seen before. It was a bulb shape, it was red. And the stem had thorns. He then gets his book. He then picked the bulb making sure not to bring the thorny stem. He opens the book, puts the bulb in it, and slams the book shut thinking that Crystala will be very excited to see new flowers in his book… if he is able to see her again

"Will I ever see them again?" thought Senri as he continues to walk through the forest. He then sees …. A beehive on a tree. Senri looked at it with stars in his eyes for a moment. Senri then began to hide behind a nearby tree and began to think of a way to get that sweet honey.

"Screw it" thought Senri as he couldn't think of anything clever to get that beehive. So he turns his arm into a claw and runs straight towards the beehive, jumped up, sliced the branch with his claw, grabbed the beehive. Senri suddenly wished he had one of those bee proof suits that those had when they delivered honey to the bee queen lady.

Senri looks behind him to see that there are angry bees chasing him

"Well crap" thought Senri as he knows he cannot outrun the bees for any longs. So he uses his claw hand and stabs the beehive and when he brings it out it was covered in honey.

"Mmm…" said Senri as he licks his honey covered claw as he continues running

"I have never tried honey like this before" thought Senri since it has an exotic taste to him.

After licking nearly all the honey in the hive dry. Senri throws the beehive have the bees causing some to fly to the hive while the rest continued to chase Senri. He then sees a flowing river. If Senri where to run at the sides he would eventually run out of breath and get sting a lot.

But Senri doesn't recognize this type of bees. For all he knows they might kill him. Now he stared to think it was a stupid idea to pull that stunt. Now Senri wanted to try something that one of the beekeepers taught him.

"Here goes nothing" thought Senri as he jumps into the river. After a few moments the bees started to fly away. Senri began to swim up and take a breath and started to swim to the other side.

"!" said Senri as he notices that a crocodile is swimming after him. He then dives under and sees the crock speeding towards him with it's mouth wide open. He then swims behind the crocodile and hugs it's back. It's started to squirm very strongly.

Senri then uses his claw to scratch the crocodile's eye blinding or and making it squirm even more. Then the two of them began to get caught in the river's current.

"Uh oh" thought Senri as they both began to go through a violent current causing them both to get hit, scraped, and cut by the rocks. Eventually Senri was about to bump into the croc.

He took this chance to put his claw forward making it stab the croc right in the chest killing it causing him to get covered in the crocodile's blood. Senri then began to swim up and take a breath of air. But as he did it. He grabbed the dead croc's tail.

Senri then heard splashes of water. When he looked to the direction or the sound. He then sees that he is floating towards a waterfall. He held onto the dead crocodile hoping it would probably make the splash less painful as he began to fall with the waterfall.

*Splash*

Senri is now starting to get tired. His struggle with the crocodile in the water has taken a lot of energy from him. He then sees that he has landed in a lake. Judging by how still the water is and the strange looking fish what's swimming around in there. He then swims to the shore.

Senri unsteadily reaches the shore covered in bruises, cuts, and blood. He then sees that a person is nearby watching his come out. he reached out to the person who looked like a fisherman who seemed to be steps back

"*groan*" Senri groaned taking a few steps forward towards the fisherman

"Aagh!" screamed the fisherman as he makes a run for it along a path. Senri then dragged the croc's body onto the shore before fully picking it up and reverting his claw back to his hand.

"If the others were here I'm sure they would be so big help" thought Senri referring to his friends at home. He then began to walk through the path. After a while of walking he hears a little girl's voice yell "help me!"

The little girl then bumped into Senri falling onto her back. Looking at him with fear for a moment. Then a wolf crawled out of the trees. Then the girl runs and hides behind a nearby log. Senri puts down the crocodile and cracks his knuckles making the wolf growl at him.

The wolf began to run towards him with the intent of mauling him to pieces. Senri then punched the wolf really hard backing it into a tree. He then walks to the injured wolf as it desperately limps away. Lucky for it Senri was too tired to chase it down. He then licks his wounds on his arms

"Mmm" said Senri as he enjoys the taste of his own blood. And the crocodile blood. While causing the girl to look at him strangely

Senri walks back to the dead crocodile and picks it up and leaves. As he continues to walk the path he notices that he is being followed. He turns around and sees the little girl run behind a tree to avoid being seen.

This made Senri wonder what she is up too. Senri turns back around and continues to follow the path

Later

Eventually Senri walked too a village that's full of people. A few people gave him shocked looks at his appearance and the fact he is carrying a dead crocodile. Suddenly one of the townspeople had an idea. The little girl that has been following him suddenly ran off. Making him think she only followed him just to look for protection in case the wolf or another monster would attack.

"Hello there young lad!" said A random guy who seemed to have come out of nowhere

Senri turned to look at him

"Whoah. This guy looks like he's been through hell." Thought the random guy

"Are you going to sell that?" said the random guy giving Senri an idea

Senri nods

"How about I give you.. " said the random guy digging into his pockets "63 pieces of gold"

"Wow. Either this guy is rich or this is the currency of this place" thought Senri as people giving that much gold coins is not that common where he came from

Senri hold out his hand and the random guy puts the gold in his hands.

"Please come with me for a moment" said the random guy "And bring my new crocodile"

A few moments of walking later they walk to a wagon and the random guy digs through it and brings out a bag

"Please put the thing in the sack and put it in the wagon" said the random guy tossing Senri a sack. Senri puts the dead crocodile in the sack and puts it in the wagon like the man wanted. "Pleasure doing business with you" said the man.

Senri then walked away the man and wondered how far he could go. He then smells. Something delicious. Senri couldn't help it but he really couldn't help following the smell. It smelt like…. A pastry. Senri tries to think about what the smell is…..

He followed the sent leading him to what appears to be a farm. He sees that what appears to be an old married old couple selling meat at a stand. Senri thought that maybe with 63 pieces of golf he may be able to afford some fancy food

"Hello there young man. How can we help you" said the old man

See right began to look at all the meats. And looked at the juiciest looking one and points to it

"You want that one?" said the old man "That'll be 40 gold coins young lad"

"Well crap" thought Senri as it is worth a chunk of his currency but that meat looked do delicious he felt like he just has to have it. He handed the old man 40 gold coins

"Thank you young whippersnapper! Now don't eat too fast" said the old man

"Please come again" said the old lady

Senri walked away and took a bite our of the meat. He had to admit it tasted amazing. He then sat down to finish the last if it. This had been an eventful day for Senri but it's nothing compared that one week when he fought that beast for the first time. And that giant octopus thing, or that hideous giant bee thing. (A/N those of you who read the second book will know what I mean)

Senri then gets up and sees a strange new flowers he has never seen before. They were purple. Senri walked over to it. He noticed that the purple flower was in a group of the exact same

"I see you like my purple orchids" said an older woman.

"Purple… orchids?" Said Senri in a much deeper voice than the lady expected (A/N my best description of his voice. Would be Peter Steele's voice. Just look up interviews with him on you tube)

"Yes young one. Purple orchids" said the older woman

"…" said Senri "May I… have one?"

"Eh. One wouldn't hurt" thought the older woman

Senri gives her a small smile and picks out of them and leaves

"That is a strange fellow. Not to mention his clothes" thought the older woman

Senri then puts the flower in his book and continues to walk. Eventually Senri came to a part of the village where a lot of people are t around to see what's going on until he heard

"Hey you" said a voice

At first Senri thought that voice was talking to someone else

"I'm talking to you!" said the voice again "You with the grayish hair!"

Now Senri knew the voice was referring to him. He then turns around to see a thug with a wooden plank and a knife

"Give me all your gold" said The thug approaching Senri

Senri did not care.

"I mean it. Or else!" said The thug

Senri knew that the thing really wasn't going to be a threat compared to hat Senri has been through. Now that he remembers that. He may need to wash his clothes and get some bandages.

"Last chance" said The thug who was getting ready

Senri cracks his neck

"I warned ya!" said The thug as he runs towards Senri

The thug then tries to stab Senri. Senri grabs the thug's wrist and taking that knife and throwing it away

"Grr!" said the thug as he then tries to whack Senri with the wooden plank. Senri sees this coming and let's go if the thug's wrist and snatches the board from him

"Uh oh" said the thug

Senri snaps the wood in half as if it was a twig. Them he grabs the thug by his shirt

"Hey ugh. Can't we talk about this?!" said the thug very nervously

Senri then threw him across the path he was facing

"Whoah!" said the thug as he lands on the ground

Senri decided to leave the part of the town and continued to walk to the path. Eventually after what seemed like hours of walking. He sees a town up ahead. It made him wonder if things will either be more expensive or cheaper here. And if he finds any people that can transform like he can.

He then looks into where the path leads to a town and sees that part of the town is on fire.

Senri decided to run to the town to see if anyone there knew what was going on. Sure it was unlikely but there is a chance.

Later

As Senri nearly reaches the town he sees that the giant eye thing has disappeared sees the town has caught on fire. Senri hears lots of things getting broken. This got him very curious to what is going on. Especially since it's night time.

"Hahaha! Take what you want boys and then we burn this play down!" said a man who appears to be the leader of a bunch of bandits "We got to set an example for these Ylissean types"

"Hey you there!" said one if the bandits "Give me all of your gold!"

"*Sigh*" said Senri as he has to deal with another attempt to rob him. The only difference is that this guy has a sword instead of knife

Senri then draws his sword at the bandit goon

"Hehe. You sucker. Die!" yelled the goon as he runs straight towards Senri. He tried to chop Senri in half. Senri then ducks the strike and uses his sword to stab the goon's chest killing him

Senri then notices that a bunch of goons started to turn their attention to him

"He killed Wally! Get him!" said one of the goons. Senri was just about to charge back. But then something In the middle of them bursted into flames causing them all to go flying.

"*cough*" said Senri as some of the dust has gotten to him

"Are you ok?" said a voice. Is sounded feminine. The dust cleared up and he sees two women. One of them wore a black jacket, has white hair, and is holding a book. While the other was wearing a dress, shorter, had blondish hair, and she was holding a staff

"…" said Senri as he simply walked past them

"Not even a 'thank you'?" Whispered the pigtailed girl while the white haired girl shrugged her shoulders

Senri then runs further in the town where the fire was and sees that a the leader if the bandit gang is fighting a man with blue hair. Senri decided to run towards them. He sees two goons attempting to stop him but Senri sliced them both down effortlessly

"Huh!?" said the blue haired man not expecting Senri to go up to his fight. This prompted the gang leader to turn around. Senri was just about to slash him. The gang leader blocked his strike. Senri then took this opportunity then push the leader down. Senri then finishes him off with a direct stab to the chest.

"…" said Senri as he dusts himself off, sheaths his sword, and walks past him despite the fires on the buildings

Senri notices that someone with blue hair similar to the one on that man he just helped. He looked at the corner of his eye to see a masked person from afar. Senri didn't know the situation enough time care so he simply decided to walk his way out of the towards what he believes has rooms for sale as all the people who loved there started to come out of hiding. Many of the people tried to put out parts of the fire. While others try to salvage what's left. It made him wonder why people would do this at a night like this.

"Hey Chrom. Did you win?" said the white haired woman as she and the pigtailed girl run up to Chrom

"Kind of? With his help if course" said the blue haired man now named Chrom pointing to Senri only to see that he isn't there "Hey where'd he go?"

"I really needs a place to sleep" thought Senri as he continues to walk toward the inn

*Door opens*

"What who are you!" said a paranoid man holding a broom at Senri. He could also see a small boy in the corner holding on to a cat.

"…" said Senri slightly pushing the broom away

"Your not here to rob us are you?!" said the paranoid man

Senri shook his head in response

"You better not be lying" said the paranoid man

"…" said Senri as they both walked into the inn

When they walked in the boy and cat ran downstairs.

"Ok that'll be 14 gold coins a night" said the paranoid man who turned out to be the inn keeper

"Welp there goes another chunk if what I have left" thought Senri as he now only has 7 gold coins left as he gives the inn keeper what he wanted.

"You have room 14. It's upstairs" said the inn keeper handing him a room key

"…" said Senri as he goes up the steps and goes into his room. He sees that the room kind of looks like a mess. With a bunch of cracks in the walls, a slightly broken window, and… a spider in the top corner. However this did not bother him one bit because he is too tired to even care. He then gets onto the bed

He lays on to the bed and thinks. How far away he is from home. It started to worry him on how different things are without him. Sure Senri was a loner in the beginning. But ever since he has travelled in a group he felt more comfortable.

The Next Day

Senri wakes up, gets up, and makes his way towards the door

"Would you like to stay a second night?" said the inn keeper who Senri noticed is a lot less paranoid

Senri shook his head in response and hands him back the room key

"Very well then" said the inn keeper

Senri walks out if the inn to see that pretty much all the fire is out. Even though there were still some smoke in a few areas. And now that Senri thinks about it. He is surprised that the inn keeper didn't freak out about his crocodile blood stain. Well to Senri it's too late to make a deal out of it.

Senri then hears a bunch of footsteps approaching. He turns around to see the same blue haired from before aka Chrom

"Hey there" said Chrom

"?" said Senri

"You seemed to be quite the fighter" said Chrom

"…" said Senri

"I know it all sounds sudden. But right now I am trying to gather an army. We could use all the help we could get" said Chrom "What do you say"

Senri thought about his offer…. He knew he is now very far from his other group. And he has no idea if he'll ever return. But right now he felt that joining a group may be able to help him on some level. For now Senri decided that joining a group would be a good idea.

"For Now…" said Senri

"Thank you. You will not regret this" said Chrom leading him towards the same girls Senri saw earlier and an armored man

"So then. What's your name" said Chrom

"…Senri" said Senri

"Well Senri. It's nice to meet a new friend" said Chrom

"He's probably going to need a healing from Lissa" thought Chrom seeing the blood stains on Senri

"Friend? That fast?" thought Senri who now assumes that Chrom is reminding him of Cooro.

"So then. Where did you come from?" said Chrom

"…" said Senri

"Don't talk much?" said Chrom

Senri shakes his head as they reach the rest of Chrom's group

"I see" said Chrom "Guys. Meet Senri. Senri, these are Frederick, Lissa and Robin."

"Hello Senri" said the white haired girl now named Robin

Frederick then walks over to Chrom and the two of them walk a small distance

"Chrom are you mad? Just because a guy helped you in a fight doesn't mean he would be a good soldier" said Frederick "And choosing a person with amnesia you found on the field to be a tactician was is even more crazy"

"Frederick. I got a good feeling about both him and Robin. You need to calm yourself" said Chrom as they both walk back "Besides we can use all the help we can get"

"Ok. Sorry you had to see that. But right now we are in sort of a way to go." Said Chrom

"…" said Senri

"So then. Were will we head next?" said Robin

"We will camp out in the forest" said Chrom

"But Chrom!" said the girl with pigtails now named Lissa

"Lissa I told you. If we are to go camping it would mean there would be less of a walk back" said Chrom

"*sigh*…ok.." said Lissa as they all begin to walk a path leading out of the town

As Senri walks and looks to his left he sees that Frederick is giving him a stare of suspicion. Honestly Senri doesn't blame him since Chrom just straight up recruited him without having any knowledge on who he is.

"The sky sure is beautiful tonight. Am I right?" said Robin

"…the sky…" said Senri

Lissa took this chance to get a good look at Senri's face. She sees his eye patch and wondered what may have happened to someone like him who doesn't look older than 17 or 18. She realizes that she forgot to heal his injuries earlier

"Oh my goodness I forgot!" said Lissa

"What is it Lissa?" said Chrom

"I forgot to heal Senri's wounds" said Lissa walking over to Senri

"Hmmm… she doesn't seem to have bandages.." thought Senri as she gets her staff and points it at Senri and puts a healing spell on him. Senri could feel all his scratches, cuts, and bruises disappear "Oh my god…. This is… better than any medicine back where I'm from…."

"Hm.. you might need a change if clothes as well" thought Lissa noticing many bloodstains on Senri's clothes

"…thanks…" said Senri. Lissa did not expect a voice like that too come out of him…. Maybe he could have a career as a speaker… or maybe a deep voice wizard.

"No problem" said Lissa happily

Later

"Hey guys it's getting dark" said Lissa

"Your right Lissa. We will camp here" said Chrom

"So many bugs here" said Lissa trying to sway some that are flying around her "Why couldn't we stay at the town?"

"I told you already. It will make the trip faster. Besides hardship builds character" said Chrom

"Character?! I think I built QUITE enough character for one day!" said Lissa

Frederick and Robin try to hold down a snicker

"Why does this sound familiar?" thought Senri

"You know Lissa we should think about food. Besides. Anyone else hungry?" Said Robin

"Yes.. I will hunt for food. Who wants to clear a campsite?" said Frederick leaving them to go hunting

"Ok. I will go collect some firewood" said Chrom. Senri then decided to follow Chrom. He did y know why. But he just felt like he needed to.

"I guess that leaves us to make the campsite" said Robin to Lissa

"*sigh* I just hope they won't take too long" said Lissa

With Senri

"Thanks for coming with me" said Chrom

"You are far too trusting" thought Senri

"…" said Senri

"Cmon let's chop this tree down" said Chrom. Senri then walks up to the tree

*Bap*

Senri has just punch the tree breaking part of it away to the point where it fell down.

"Whoah… now that is raw strength" thought Chrom as he sees Senri rips off the branches the trees without any problem like. Senri the tries to pick up the tree

"Senri. I think the branches will do" said Chrom. Senri the drops the tree and started picking up a bunch of branches along with Chrom

A few moments later

"So then what have we missed" said Chrom as he and Senri puts the sticks down

"Nothing much really" said Robin using a fire spell to light the sticks on fire once Senri finished putting rocks around it

Senri then sits down on a log to take a rest from everything that has happened for past two days. Joining some sort of army, having to fight off bandits, and seeing new flowers… could this day get any stranger?... Oh wait. Senri has done that plenty of times...Minus the army part. He then hears footsteps prompting him to look in the direction. He sees that Frederick has brought a bunch of meat.

Frederick then stabs each of with a stick to put over the fire. Senri noticed the meat smelled…. Familiar. Frederick then hands 1 piece of meat to each of them. Robin started to wolf down the meat, along with Chrom. As Senri was just about to take a bite…

"Ah. Bear meat. It's been a while since I had some." Said Chrom

Senri's eye widened and froze for a moment. He then puts it to his side.

"Something wrong Senri?" said Chrom

Senri shakes his head

"Not hungry?" said Chrom

Senri nods

"You can't be too picky" said Chrom ad he looks at Lissa as he notices she isn't eating either "Whays wrong Lissa? Aren't you hungry?"

Senri felt that if he were to eat that meat. It would be cannibalism since he is a bear anima

"Pass!... Gods, couldn't you have spear us a normal animal like a deer for once?" said Lissa "I mean, this is ridiculous! You guys are meddling with the food chain!"

What Lissa just said reminds Senri of Nana. Plus she unknowingly earned a bit of Senri's respect for refusing to eat a bear.

"Right Robin?" Said Lissa

Robin continues to eat the bear meat

"Robin?" said Lissa

*Munch Munch, slurp, munch*

"*Sigh* I guess someone will enjoy it if they haven't eaten in days" said Lissa

"cmon you guys. Bear meat ain't that bad" said Chrom

"…" said Senri as he gets up and walks towards the tree nearby

"Hey Senri where are you going?" said Chrom

Senri looked up into the night sky. It made him wonder. Just where has he gotten himself into this time. Because it is certainly seems. Like there are less dangerous beasts. Like that loser Kazanna or that little girl that literally fed her slaves to the tigers. This place seemed relatively…. Peaceful compared to his own land… in fact. Maybe it's just the lack of bug monsters…

It also made him wonder.. how much time has passed since the cave crashed down upon him?... It made him sad to think about the way they might feel if they believe he is dead… it also made him wonder how did he get here? Is this supposed to be the afterlife? It certainly doesn't look like a land full of rich fruit and meat and deceased loved ones everywhere like he personally believed… but… it may be a stretch to believe that. After all he remembers killing that bandit in the town….

He then digs into his pocket and looks at the picture of him and his friends... it made him wonder if there was a way to return… but… he clearly remembers everything that happened. Do at least he still has his memories. And his belongings ye had when he 'died' or so he starts to believe.

"Senri?" said Robin who seemed to have followed him..

"?" said Senri

"What are you doing out here?" said Robin

"…" said Senri

"Hmm.. Chrom was right he really doesn't seem to speak much" thought Robin

"..We can't linger out here forever. We need to head to the camp

"..Ok" said Senri as Robin leads the way back to the camp

When Senri and Robin reached the can they see Lissa and Frederick are already asleep

"Hey guys. Let's take a rest for the night" said Chrom as he lays down

"So then. How long do you think it will take us to arrive?" said Robin

"It shouldn't be much farther after we leave the forest" said Chrom as Senri decides to sit down at a nearby tree and Robin lays down near the fire

Senri watched as Robin and Chrom start to fall asleep as well and began to wonder what the future of joining this group will bring him…. It also made him wonder… is there a chance that there are other Anima in this place or people with similar abilities… he decided to just wait and see. He looks to his left and sees a little dandelion.. he takes it and blows it. He watches as the pieces of the dandelion fly away. Now he hopes for the best for whatever may come his way as he starts to close his eyes a d begins to fall asleep

Later

*Ground rumbles*

This wakes up Senri from his slumber as he wonders what's gong on.. he then sees Frederick and Robin begin to wake up as well

"Huh.. what's going on?" said Robin

"An earquake!. Where is Lord Chrom and lady Lissa!?" said Frederick

Then suddenly from a distance they see some sort of.. magic. Senri did not know how to describe it. It looked like.. a giant purple eye. Senri could see there are a few things coming out of that eye thing.

"Their footsteps lead that way!" Said Robin noticing footprints leading away from the camp "They must've went that way!"

"Then we don't have a moment to lose!" said Frederick as the three of them began to follow the tracks

As the three of them followed the tracks they see a bunch if fiery rocks hitting random places and a huge lava splash

"This can't be good" thought Senri as he dodges one that nearly lands on him

"Hey guys over here!" said Chrom

"Frederick!, Robin!, Senri!" said Lissa

"Goodness.. what are those things!?" said Robin as she doors lots of strange looking zombie like warriors

"I can promise you that they aren't from Ylisse. What's for sure" said Chrom

Senri looks to see a masked 'man'(A/N. I'm pretty sure those of you who know what's going on know exactly who that is) is scurrying away from them. He did not what to think if it. As Frederick runs over to Chrom and Lissa

"hmm…" said Senri

"Alright guys. Get ready for a fight" said Chrom as Frederick and Robin draw their swords. Senri looks around and draws his sword when he sees those strange warriors as they start heading towards them

"Lissa get behind me!" Said Chrom as he blocks a strike from one of the warriors before stabbing right through it. Then the warrior then collapses once Chrom pulled his sword away. Senri noticed that the warrior is not human. So killing them won't be too bad. Right?

Senri notices that there is a bunch of the strange warriors heading right towards him

Senri unsheathes his machete sword and runs towards the warriors. Senri noticed that the warrior tried to stab him with it's spear. Senri sidestepped the spear and used his machete sword and used it to decapitate the warrior. However. Robin saw him do that. She felt a bit disturbed.

Senri then ducks from another strike from another strange warrior. Senri punches the warrior sending it flying. He then sees that Lissa is getting cornered by another warrior. He runs right right towards as it is about to kill her

Lissa thought this may be the end of the line for her. Chrom, Robin and Frederick were trying to get to her but the warriors were keeping them occupied. But when she looked behind the warrior she sees Senri charging straight at the warrior. The warrior turns to face Senri as Senri gives it a powerful punch in the chest plate making it hit the tree.

"Uh… thanks Senri" said Lissa who felt relieved that she was saved

Senri then runs towards the warrior to stab it's head with his sword killing it.

Senri the looks around to see of any more coming. However only one decide to come to him. And right before it suddenly gets shot by an arrow.

Then a girl with red hair comes into his view. Along with a man with blue hair. This made Senri wonder how many other people have strange color hair here.

"Sully! Your just in time" said Chrom as he takes down his last opponent "And who's that other guy?"

"I am Virion! The archest of archers" said the blue haired man now named Virion

"He just followed me here. Dunno why but he just did" said the red haired girl now named Sully

"I see. Well I'm glad you came." Said Chrom as he runs over to Lissa and Senri. "Lissa are you ok?"

"I'm fine Chrom" said Lissa giving Chrom some relief

"Oh thank the gods" said Chrom "Sully! And uh. Virion! Go help Frederick and Robin!" seeing that he may need some help with those warriors

"You got it!" said Sully as she and Virion ran over to Frederick and Robin

"Senri. Back me up with protecting Lissa" said Chrom

*Senri nods*

Senri and Chrom then got into defensive stances as one strangely larger than all the others started to show up. It wielded a big axe and a sword

Chrom looks to his left and see that Frederick, Sully, and Virion are fighting the last few of those strange warriors

"You ready Senri?" said Chrom as Senri nods.

Chrom runs over to the giant. The giant sees this coming and tried to use the big axe to chop Chrom in two. Chrom used his sword to deflect the attack. The beast nearly lost it's grip with the axe. Giving Senri a chance to chop off its army

"That's just brutal" thought Robin as she sees Senri do it

The warrior then tried to slice Senri in half. But right before it could do it. Two arrows then penetrated it's head and chest. Making it fall down dead.

"Did we get them all?" said Sully

Everyone looked around but did not see any more if those warriors. Then the masked 'man' approached them

"…" said the masked 'man'

"Um I never got to thank you for before…. So.. thank you" said Lissa

"You saved her life. My name is Chrom what is yours?" said Chrom

The masked 'man' and Senri proceeded to stare at each other for an awkward moment

"So this was where you were at the time" thought the masked 'man'

"….you may call me Marth" said the masks 'man' to Chrom "But I am not here to talk about me. This world is teetering towards a calamity. But this is only the beginning. You have been warned" the masked 'man' then proceeds to walk away Senri noticed that 'his' voice sounded strangely feminine

"Wait.. what is teetering?" said Lissa

"Hmm. It's seems the stakes here are more sure than my own home" thought Senri. Sure he has faced with many things. Like rebellions, massive monsters, and his own family issues. But judging by that giant purple eye thing in the sky. This may be harder than before.

"What do you think we should do with him Chrom?" said Robin

"Leave him. I believe we should be heading to the capital right now" said Chrom as they all(minus the masked 'man') began walking in a direction led by Chrom

"Senri" said Robin. This catches Senri's attention

"?" said Senri

"You uh.. excited for the capital?" said Robin. One thing she wanted to ask him about is his eyepatch. But she's worried that she might go into personal territory…

But it still made her wonder what is under the patch. Sure anyone could be wearing an eyepatch….

But this feels like he is concealing something with it… she decided to worry about it later as right now she doesn't seen it to be that big of a problem

"…" said Senri

"Oh.. ok then" said Robin

"So then. Senri was it? you seemed like quite the fighter." Said Sully. "Have you ever tried sparring?"

Senri shrugs

"Hmm.. we got to get that going" said Sully

"Hey Chrom… when will we reach the city?" said Lissa as she literally sees nothing but forest

"Soon Lissa. Please be patient" said Chrom

Much later

The gang reached a capital village full of people. It seemed to look normal enough by Senri's standards

"Ah the capital. It's good to be back!" said Sully stretching her arms

"Oh it feels glorious" said Virion

"I've never seen so many people here" said Robin

"Hmm… I can't remember the last time I've seen this many people" thought Senri as there seemed to be a lot more people here than there were at the stadium…

"So then. Feel better Lissa?" said Chrom

"Better!? We walked for hours!" said Lissa

"*Sigh* oh Lissa. It's just part of life" said Chrom.

"Look! The exalt" said a random citizen of the capital as all the citizens began to crowd around this exalt

When Senri took a closer look he saw that the exalt has lots of knight escorts

"Hmm.. she must be very important" thought Senri as everyone began to make a space for Chrom and the others to go through. When Senri began to join them. He sees Chrom converting with the exalt along with Lissa and Frederick

"Emmeryn I would like you to meet our two new addition to the Sheperds" said Chrom to the exalt now named Emmeryn

"…Sheperds?" said Senri making him feel like he got suckeere inti going a labor job taking care of sheep

"Oh Chrom must've not told you. The 'Sheperds' is the name of our army." Said Robin

"…So no sheep?" said Senri

"Nope" said Robin making Senri's worries go away as Emmeryn and Chrom pproaches them

"Thank you two so much for joining the Sheperds. You have no idea how much your help can be used for Ylisse" said Emmeryn

"It feels good to help a country in need" said Robin

Senri could've sworn Cooro would have said something like that

"…" said Senri

"Your going to have to forgive Senri. He doesn't seem to talk much" said Chrom

"Oh no worries it shouldn't be too much of a problem" said Emmeryn to Chrom

"So Chrom where do we go from here?" said Robin

"We head back to the capital building. It's where everyone else is" said Chrom as they all began to walk towards the capital

Later

Senri and the others walk into what appears to be some sort of base filled with weapons, supplies and a few other people who Senri assumes to be more members of Chrom's army

"Here we are! The Shepherds' Garrison" said Lissa "Please. Make yourselves at home"

Senri looked around the place and looked at it's many boxes. He then looks to see the giant map upon the wall… he sees that there are many writings on it. However one thing he wasn't expecting was that he is able to read it. It spelled 'Ylisse' . Senri checks his book to and notices the writing is in the same language as his book.. he decided on reading the rest of the map later as he puts away his book.

He then sees a girl with very strange pig tails fun over to Lissa

"Lissa I sprouted four Gray hairs! Where were you!?" said the pigtailed girl. After she said that. Two more people came in one guy and one girl. What struck Senri as strange was the girl wore a bow but yet she seems to be a knight judging by her armor. And the guy has a strange pushed back hairstyle. But the strangest part to Senri was that his 'pants' or at least Senri thinks it is pants.. is red

"Don't worry about me Maribelle we came home okay. And plus we got two new members" said Lissa to the pig tailed girl now named Maribelle "Guys meet Robin and Senri. Senri is the one looking at the map" causing Senri to look at them. Maribelle then approaches Senri

"Hmm.. You look. Like a commoner… but I have never seen this type of clothing.." said Maribelle referring to Senri's clothes as she inspects him from head to toe

"Um.. hello there my name is Sumia" said the girl with the now named Sumia "Its nice to meet you two"

"…" said Senri

"Well it's nice to meet you guys as well. Don't kind Senri. He doesn't really talk very much" said Robin

"Ooh. So the string and silent type eh? That reminds me of someone I know" said the man "Im Vaike by the way"

"You should all see the tricks up Robin's sleeve" said Lissa

"Oh really can she do this? *Buuurp*" said Vaike Making them all sweatdrop

"…" said Senri as he honestly does not know how to a man that burps that loud. Sure Cooro Burks similarly but this guy is a while other level

"Ugh! Vaike that was abhorrent!" said Maribelle "Must you pollute the air with your buffoonery!?" she then leaves the room. See Senri notices that her style of clothing may fit into Nana's liking

"Don't take it to heart you guys. She warms up to people slowly" said Sumia

"Or burns too quickly! Her Hee! But yeah, give her some time" said Lissa

"And Senri here is an interesting fighter!" said Lissa

"A fighter huh? What weapon do you use" said Vaike

Senri unsheaths his machete sword and shows it to Vaike

"Whoah. This is an interesting looking sword you got there." Said Vaike examining it before Senri puts it back in his sheath

"Hey… where's Virion? I just realized he isn't here" said Lissa

"Didn't he follow Sully?" said Robin

Senri then leaves them all be and walked towards a door. He walks up the stairs which leads to an outside patio. Senri looks onward to the capital. He looks around to see any structures he would recognize… he found nothing yet recognized… he also began to wonder is there a reason why he is here… he is pretty sure he isn't supposed to exist in.. whatever the hell this place is called.. but since he sees to be alive and well…. He decided that he should make the best of it while he has this chance.

He looks at the capital and it still looks pretty normal… he the hears some footsteps nearby. He turns around and sees Robin approaching him..

"?" said Senri as he wonder what Robin wants

"Heh Senri. Chrom wants to speak to us all" said Robin gesturing for him to follow her

"…" said Senri as he follows her back into the room

"Good you got Senri. Now then. Tomorrow in the morning we will be marching into Regina Ferox" said Chrom

Senri had no idea where that was. But then he notices a very tall armored man about 6'10 just standing behind them.

Senri walked over to the man

"Oh uh.. hello there. I see someone has finally noticed me" said the 6'10 man

"…" said Senri

"My name is Kellam. What's yours?" said the 6'10 man now named Kellam

"….Senri" said Senri

"Senri huh? Where you the one that saved Lissa and helped Chrom kill the bandit?" said Kellam

Senri nods

"Well then. Thank you for helping" said Kellam

"I volunteer to go with you" said Lissa to Chrom

"I'll go as well" said Kellam catching everyone but Senri off guard "What? I've been here the whole time" Then everyone seemed to ignore him again

"Guys?" said Kellam as he no one responds to him. Other than revieving a skeptical look from Senri

"*sigh*" said Kellam

Senri began to wonder why they didn't notice him.. did they just not like him

Senri felt a bit of pity for Kellam, so he decided to wave his hand in front of Kellam to show that he still notices him.

"Senri? You still notice me?" said Kellam "That's a surprise. You're the first someone has ever noticed"

Senri sweatdropped… Senri the begins to walk towards the couch and sits down

"It seems like this will be an interesting week" thought Senri as he lays down
