Ike ran.

"Father … What's going on? … Where are you?"

Bursting into a clearing, he saw his father facing down the Black Knight from their previous battle. His father was using Urvan against a golden blade … from his early mercenary training, Ike knew that swords held the advantage over axes. He also knew, since he had witnessed this before that his father would be disarmed right about …

The Black Knight swung with a horizontal slash, launching Greil back and his axe to the side.

"Father!"

"Ike? Stay back!"

Ike obeyed. He was going to wait for –

The Black Knight tossed his golden blade towards Ike's father, landing in the tree in front of Greil.

"Here. Use this blade."

Ike ran towards the sword.

"IKE!"

Greil shouted, the Black Knight quickly drew Alondite, and Ike closed the distance easily pulling Ragnell out of the fallen tree trunk and adopting his ready stance.

Ike started to move forward to attack, but was stopped by his father's hand holding onto his leg.

"Ike, what are you doing?"

Ike didn't take his eyes off the Black Knight, still standing a few steps in front of him, Alondite at the ready.

"Leave that knight alone, Ike! Stay away!"

Ike shook himself free of his father's grasp.

"Don't worry father, I've got this."

And charged towards the Black Knight.

"IKE!"


"Hmph. Is the son as stupid as the father?", said the Black Knight to himself, as he watched Ike running towards him.

The Black Knight readied his sword for the simple attack, planning on following it up by shoving Ike back with his armored shoulder.

But the attack never came. As Ike ran towards him, Ike threw Ragnell into the air…

And sunk it deep into the Black Knight's right shoulder.

The Black Knight dropped Alondite in pain, before receiving another strike from Ike, which cut through more of his armur and pushed him a distance away.

Struggling to stand, the Black Knight decided that this was enough. He ran towards Ike, who nimbly dodged the incoming tackle, but instead of lashing out at Ike with an armored glove, the Black Knight picked up Alondite and disappeared in a puff of warp powder.


Ike slowly walked back towards his awestruck father, picking up Urvan on the way.

"See", he said, handing the axe back to his father, "I told you I got this."


Hopefully it was enjoyable, and I wasn't too OOC with the characters (I think I might've been), and please leave a comment to help me improve.

Until next time (whenever I can think of some type of idea), this is nublet765 ~ out!
