AN: Hello, kiddies! I'm back once again, this time with a different crossover! To all of my fellow Fire Emblem fans out there, this one's for you lot. An idea came to me in a fit of inspiration, and it led to this. That being said, followers of Gods and Maidens will be disappointed to see that it's been deleted. Reason: My muse for that story pissed off into oblivion and left me high and dry, which is where this one comes in. It's more or less the replacement for Gods and Maidens, as well as my first Naruto/FE crossover.

As you can no doubt see, it's mainly a crossover with Awakening, and I might as well go ahead and spoil that Fates will also play a part in this… but that's WAAAAAY down the road. In this one, Naruto's thrown into the world of FE:A after his first showdown with Sasuke in the Valley of the End, so he's still thirteen at this point. And don't worry; Sasuke will not be making an appearance in this one.

As always, people, no flames!

Premonition: A Fate Unchanged?

"This guy just won't quit, will he?" Huffed out a person as he took a knee and wiped a thin trail of blood from the corner of his mouth.

"His dark magic is potent." Spoke the only man still standing of the three. "But we've overcome worse odds before."

"Does the name Walhart ring a bell to anyone?" Mused the second kneeling man as he took in a breath and stood to his feet. "We beat the Conqueror, so we can beat the man… no, the thing in front of us."

"What a way to talk about your own Father, Robin." Chuckled the first man as he, too, stood to his feet and picked up the discarded katana that was to his right. "Mean little bastard, aren't you?"

"Laugh it up." Despite the situation, Robin couldn't help but smile at his longtime friend.

"This is it!" The second man suddenly announced. "Our final battle!"

"Hell yeah…" The first man gleefully agreed with a feral smile.

"You're one of us now, Robin, and no 'destiny' can change that!" He continued, smiling at the man to his left.

"And you've been one hell of a friend throughout all of this!" The first man added. "So here's to us!"

"Thank you, Chrom…" Robin smiled once again at the now identified Chrom.

"And you have more than proved yourself, Naruto!" Chrom turned to the figure at his right. "Truly, Naga herself smiled upon me when she sent you two to be by my side."

"Chrom, stop, you're gonna make me blush." Naruto chuckled at the praise he was being given.

"You two are my closest and most trusted friends. We started our journey together, so I think it fitting that we finish it together." Robin said, quickly flipping open his favorite tome to the page which held Thoron, his favorite spell.

"Here, here!" Naruto cheered, fist pumping the air with his left hand and a wide grin.

"Now, let's kill this dastard and be done with it!" Chrom declared as he unsheathed the exalted blade Falchion and charged forth, flanked by his two brothers in all but blood.

"Hahahaha!" The Dark Mage in front of them began to cackle. "Why do you resist?!"

"Chrom, down!" Robin called out as his friend wisely ducked, narrowly missing the bolt of Thoron that tore through the air above him to block an orb of dark magic their opponent had hurled.

"My turn!" Naruto's eyes gleamed ferociously as he reached into his hip pouch with his left hand, retrieved a set of three shuriken and subsequently tossed them all at the mage, who leaned out of the way and sent another orb of dark magic at the blonde.

"I got your back!" Chrom called out as he dashed into the orb and sliced right through it with Falchion. "Go!" He once again called out.

"Way ahead of ya, boss!" Naruto returned the call as he dashed forward, his katana held in a reverse grip in his right hand. "Robin, cover me!"

"Gonna do you one better!" Robin acknowledged as he flipped the tome to another page, this one a Rexcalibur spell. Thrusting his right hand forward, the wind violently picked up around the charging blonde and began to circulate around him in pseudo-armor.

"Crafty, Robin!" Cackled the Dark Mage. "But not good enough!"

"Try me then!" Challenged Naruto who charged headlong into the incoming orb of black magic, which he, to his own surprise, carved right through thanks to the Rexcalibur barrier surrounding him.

"What?!" The Dark Mage cried out.

"This is the end for you, Validar!" Naruto finally named their opponent as he flipped his katana around into a proper stance and promptly brought it to bear, slicing right through the mage, across his abdomen.

"This is for Ylisse!" Chrom called out as he joined his friend in the fray, delivering a straight stab to Validar's chest, followed up by a diagonal slice which cut the mage from his right him up to his left collar bone.

"N-No…" Validar heaved up a glob of blood as he dropped his tome.

"This is for all the people you've slaughtered up until now!" Robin joined in on his friends' mantra as he mercilessly ridded his own Father of one of his arms thanks to a well-aimed Thoron.

"THIS IS FOR THE WORLD!" All three friends intoned at the same time with Chrom swinging Falchion in a downward arc, Naruto swinging his katana in an upwards arc and Robin charging in headlong with his silver sword brandished in his right hand, aiming for a horizontal swipe at the man's head.

Simultaneously, all three attacks hit their marks… and all was silent.

Slowly, the three friends recovered from their adrenaline high and at once realized that their foe was disintegrating before their eyes.

"Get back!" Naruto wisely counseled his brothers, who all retreated away from the form of what used to be Validar.

As the decaying husk collapsed to its knees and finally face down on the marbled floor, Chrom let down his guard ant turned around to face his two friends, a big grin plastered to his face.

"T-This isn't over…" An all too familiar voice called out. "DAMN YOU ALL!"

"Chrom! Naruto!" Robin called out to them in panic as he ran in between the two of them and pushed them out of the way just as one final orb of dark magic erupted from the body of Validar.

"Robin!" Naruto yelled out to the man as the orb impacted against him and sent him flying back quite a ways, where he ended up on his back.

With utmost hasted, both he and Chrom ran over to their downed comrade, with Chrom sliding down to one knee upon reaching him. "Are you alright?!"

"Yeah…" Robin groaned. "I think so…" He felt his arms being slung over his friends' necks as they helped him stand.

"That's the end of him." Naruto stated as he spitefully glared at what remained of Validar.

"So it seems." Robin nodded, then removed his arms from around their necks.

"Thanks to you, we carried the day." Chrom smiled once again and nodded to their resident tactician. "We can rest easy now."

"At long last…" Naruto let out a weary sigh as he sheathed his katana within the sheathe on his left hip.

"Nngh…" Robin began to groan as red began to flash into his field of vision, something that went unnoticed by Chrom, but not Naruto.

"Robin, you good?" He asked as he stepped into his friend and stared him in the eyes.

"What's wrong?" Chrom's voice came out as a muffled echo. "Hey, Robin!"

"Robin, you don't look so…" Was all Naruto got out before a searing, burning sensation filled his chest.

He let out a choked grunt as he looked down to where his heart was supposed to be and found a spear of pure lightning sticking out. His vision then drifted up to Chrom, who also had a spear of lightning sticking out of him, out of his abdomen to be more specific.

Both men took a shaky step away from their friend, both clutching at their wounds.

"W-What…?" Robin breathed out as he looked down to his right hand, which was still arcing with lightning. "N-No…" Panic and fear were quickly consuming him. "No…"

"Th-This is not your…" Chrom coughed. "Your fault… promise me you'll escape from this place…"

"Chrom…" Robin called out to his dying friend, but even as the name left his mouth, it sounded hollow.

"Please…" Chrom took in his final breath. "Go…" And just like that, he let it out and collapsed to the floor face first… dead.

"N-Naruto…" Robin rounded on his remaining friend, hoping, wishing, against all hope, that the blonde ball of energy was faring better.

"Go, Robin…" Naruto labored for breath. "Get out of here while you still can…"

"I… I can't…" Robin shook his head, tears threatening to spill over. "I deserve to be executed for this…"

"You still don't get it…" Despite the pain in his chest, Naruto managed a chuckle as he limped over to his remaining brother. "Neither Chrom nor I were ever destined to save the world…" He paused only to cough up a big glob of blood.

"Don't say it…" Robin vigorously shook his head. "Please…"

"It… was you all along…" Naruto smiled as he placed his right hand atop Robin's crown and ruffled his hair. "You're not to blame for this… you still have your purpose to fulfill… now, go. Leave Chrom and I here… run, and… never look back…" He finally collapsed, but found the energy to roll himself over so he was staring up at his friend. "You're so full of shit…" He chuckled again. "There's no Naga-damned light in this tunnel… you owe me… money for… this…" His eyes… shut.

"No…" Robin began chanting once again as an otherworldly laugh began to fill his entire being. "NOOOOO!"

He had killed his friends. He had killed his brothers.

He had…

Awakened.

Yes, he had finally awakened. Awakened by a light filling his vision, a blonde haired boy laid in a field of cold snow, orange jumpsuit ripped at the shoulder and burned in some places, a scratched headband held in his right hand.

"The hell am I?" Naruto groaned as he sat up from his prone position. "Argh…" He sighed in frustration. "Fox, you there?"

"What do you want, boy?" Replied the oversized Kyuubi no Kitsune (Nine-Tailed Fox)

"How long have I been out? Where am I?"

"Excuse me while I gleefully play 20 Questions with you, gaki (kid)." He scoffed. "You've been knocked out for about an hour and a half, and as to your location, I have no idea. That vortex you and that damned Uchiha brat opened up might have spat you into a new dimension." He then shrugged. "Damned if I know. Right now, it looks like we're in the middle of Tetsu no Kuni (Land of Iron), but I've been wrong before."

"Well, only one way to know for sure." Naruto groaned once again as he stood to his feet, pocketing Sasuke's headband as he did so, then shot off in a random direction through the falling snow.

He didn't know how long he had traversed the whiteness, but he eventually found a small town amidst the snow, and immediately felt out of place. People were going about their daily business, clothed in furs and simple clothes of all kinds, some carting their goods around and others seeking respite from the now raging snowstorm. It was a poor town, that much Naruto could gather, but he had never seen architecture like he was seeing… and evidently, the people now passing him by weren't accustomed to seeing that much orange.

"Oi, lad!" One called out to him. "What are ya just standin' around fer?! And why are ya wearin' such a ridiculous outfit?" He chastised the young blonde Shinobi. "In case yer daft, a blizzard's hit. Ya got a place to stay? Appropriate clothes?"

"Not at the moment, no!" Naruto called back to the man over the wind which was now picking up. "I wasn't expecting a blizzard so soon, so I didn't pack any extra clothes! Actually, my pack was lost on the way here!"

"Damn bandits again, I see." The man nodded, accepting the boy's subterfuge. "Either that, or Plegian privateers. Either way, ya can't just stay in the street, lad! Follow me!"

Naruto had no idea what a "Plegia" was. Sounded like some kind of disease. Or a really tasty cheese? Despite his ignorance on what "Plegia" was, he kindly accepted the older man's kindness and followed him to his hut, where the man immediately lit a fire.

"Now…" The man settled into a chair next to the fireplace. "Tell me yer name, lad."

"Naruto, sir." Naruto replied respectfully. "Naruto Uzumaki."

"Ya from Chon'sin or the like, lad?" The man asked, his brow furrowed. "Name sounds right for that region."

"Kit, play along with this man." Kurama counseled. "For now, at least. From the sound of things, we're definitely in a new dimension."

"Originally, yes." Naruto nodded, heeding his tenant's advice. "I was forced to leave my homeland because of a particularly vicious bandit uprising. They chased me out of my village, and I've been wandering since then."

"First time in Ferox, then?" The man asked.

"Ferox?"

"Regna Ferox." The man clarified. "Just north of the Halidom of Ylisse."

"I've never heard of any of these places." Naruto chuckled sheepishly. At least this wasn't a lie. "I led a very sheltered life, you see."

"Ahh, ya spent time with the priests and monks of Naga, didn't ya, lad?"

"Yes, sir." He lied once again. "Though even my time with them was cut short when the bandits raided my village."

"Sorry, lad." The man apologized. "I know my questions must be bringing back bad memories, so…"

"You never told me your name." Naruto changed the subject.

"Leonard." The man introduced himself. "Leonard Constantinus. Most people simply call me Leo, lad."

"I thank you for you hospitality during this blizzard, Leo." Naruto politely bowed. "I assure you, my presence here will only last the duration of the storm, then I shall be out of your hair."

"Nonsense, lad." Leo shook his head. "I can see that yer the good sort. Ya'd be welcome to stay here if ya'd like. Sure could use yer help around the town."

"If you'll have me…" Naruto started after a brief moment of contemplation. "Then I'd be happy to stay."

"Very good, lad!" Leo beamed. "Now, to just wait for this damned storm to end and I can introduce ya to the rest of the town."

"You're the mayor, then?"

"In a sense." Leo nodded. "Now, best get hunkered in. Storm's gonna be a long one, lad. Can feel it in my bones."

Despite his uneasiness about being in an entirely new dimension, Naruto could safely say that he had a good thing going now. He was in the good graces of the mayor of the town, which would undoubtedly land him a job eventually, and, most importantly, influence. He was starting from nothing once again… but if there was one thing Naruto Uzumaki was good at, it was making a name for himself.

AN: DONE! Short introduction chapter, as usual, but I really had fun writing it. Naruto's wound up stuck in Ferox, with nary a clue as to what in the hell is going on. What is he to do?

For anyone curious, I've already sort of figured out the ages for everyone eventually. As it stands, Naruto is two to three years older than Chrom but two years younger than Emmeryn, and the war between Plegia and Ylisse is starting to draw to a close, but is still going on. That being said, we're about eight years from where Awakening actually starts, so Naruto has a long time to learn the ropes and grasp the intricacies of living within another universe and will be around 21-22 when the Canon timeline starts. Have no fear, I won't be showing every little thing that happens between now and the end of the eight years, just the big things.

Now, to address the elephant in the room, and everyone's favorite subject: Pairings. I already have someone in mind for Chrom, but I'm not so sure about either Robin or Naruto, so any suggestions regarding our favorite Tactician and Fox will be greatly appreciated. Though, if I had to go with my gut right now, I'd say that Naruto would end up with Cordelia and Robin would end up with either Sumia or Tharja, maybe Lucina if I decide to deviate from my notes. At any rate, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
