I haven't ever done stories based on Fire emblem before, so bear with me! Someone I know asked me to do a story about Roy, so here it is!
Roy was bored. There wasn't anything to do today. Marth was out doing some training, and Ike was fighting with the resistance. That left him sitting in his room, staring out of the window. I wonder if there's anything to do? I wish something would happen. Anything. Something interesting. It wasn't long before something did happen. There was a great flash of light, coming from over the fields. I wonder what that was? The ground started shaking An earthquake! Better hold on! It was over as quickly as it came, everything silent. I wonder why its so quiet? No birds even...strange. I wanted something to happen...hope its not something that I'll regret. Roy decided to go an see what the light was. His father, Eliwood, rushed up to him "You see all that Roy?" He nodded "I did. I'm checking it out now."
Roy asked people about seeing it "It was in the canyons to the north my lord." He nodded, giving the villager a gold piece "Thanks." Roy jumped on his horse, heading in the direction he was told the light had come from. It would be awhile before he reached the canyons, Roy packing gear to travel out for the day, possibly the rest of the night. He headed there at a steady pace Wonder if I will regret wanting something to do? I sure hope not. Hopefully it won't be too bad.
It took till mid-afternoon to arrive at the place he thought it had come from. Roy set up his tent nearby, making a camp for himself. He left his horse to drink at the river nearby, going farther on foot. It didn't take long to find where it had happened, as there was a large crater on the ground. Roy carefully jumped in the crater, wanting to see what was there. He found a large creature laying on the ground. It was a giant animal of some sort. Its body was singed badly, but Roy could see something shine on him. He realized it was the creature's arms. Wait. His arms are shining? He examined the creature. It was short, about three foot tall. It had metal arms up to its shoulders, and metal legs up to half way up its calves. He noticed it had some sort of...spikes on its head and back. Its finger were sharp claws, five fingers per hand, like him. It had its eyes tightly shut and ears on top of its head. It had a short tail even.
Roy was concerned I wonder what this thing is? I should try to see if its still alive. Roy gently pick the creature up, carrying him to the camp to be examined. Roy placed him on a bedroll near the tent. Its a hedgehog? I've never seen one so big! I should check it for injuries. Roy started with its arms, realizing the metal was not armor, but his actual arms! Hm. His arms are made of some metal of some sort. Never heard of that. Roy looked at his legs, touching them His legs are too, at least up to the calves. Better check him for chest and head injuries. Roy gently went down its chest, Roy getting him to grimace on the left side of his ribs. It seemed he had mostly broken ribs. He had a large gash on his forehead, which Roy bandaged. Other than some bad bruises and some other large cuts, he was otherwise fine.
Roy was surprised the creature was still alive, much less still breathing. He got a cloth and dampened it, putting it to the creatures forehead. I've never seen a hedgehog like this before. I wonder what happened and where it came from? Hope it will be okay. I shouldn't move it too much. I could hurt it more than it already is. He had been smart enough to bring extra gear, covering him and the creature. It was starting to get dark, so Roy fixed a fire for the night.
It was dead quiet now, except for the creature's hard breathing. I hope it will survive the night...something from behind jumped him! Roy tackled his attacker to the ground, pulling his sword on them. He flamed the Sword of Seals, then realizing it was Marth! Marth had a surprised look on his face. Roy pushed himself off him "Christ Marth! You scared the shit out of me! I could have killed you idiot!" Marth picked himself off the ground "Sorry man. Didn't know you'd try to kill me!" Roy shook his head "I would have if I wouldn't have flared my sword and seen it was you! I thought you were a bandit or something!" Marth grinned at him "Over defensive are we?" Roy ignored the prince, instead turning his attention to the creature. Ike came shortly after, sitting next to Marth "What was that scream?" Roy glared at Marth "He jumped me and I attacked him, thinking he was a bandit." Ike shook his head "Roy's gonna get you for that someday Marth..." Marth only grinned at him "He's too timid."
Roy glared at him "Shut up Marth." Marth and Ike set their own gear up next to his. Ike was the first to say something about earlier "We heard you saw a large light. Ever find out what cause it?" Roy nodded, pointing to the creature "It was this strange animal. Found him in a crater northwest of here." Marth stared at the creature "What is that thing?" Roy raised an eyebrow at him "Its some kind of hedgehog I think." Ike shook his head "Never seen one before. There aren't any hedgehogs in Crimnea." Marth looked back at him "I've seen some before, but never this big."
They stayed up a long time that night, Marth telling them about his 'special' training, and Ike telling them of the progress on the war in Crimnea. Roy didn't have anything much to say, except explaining the creature's odd body. Ike and Marth seemed amazed, neither of them hearing of a living animal made partly of metal. They finally decided to call it a night and went to sleep.
The next morning, Roy found the creature had awoken and was sitting on a nearby fallen tree. Roy looked at it sitting there, not noticing he was awake. It was a hedgehog, but it sat more like a human did, instead of an animal. It was muttering to itself even It can talk even?! I've never heard of that before! Apparently the creature sensed it was being watched and turned towards him. Roy could see his eyes now. The back of his eyes were black, but he had glowing red eyes. He stared at him, saying nothing for a long period of time. He had taken the bandage off his head and had it in his hands, his forehead not showing the injury he had the night before. There was only a scar where the injury used to be.
The hedgehog just glared at him after awhile and turned away from him. Roy tilted his head Wonder what its problem is? I should ask if it needs anything. Roy stepped towards it, sitting on the ground near it. It looked at him with a very cool look, as if it was measuring his threat level. It spoke "What do you want boy?" Roy shifted his eyes "you...can talk." It only raised an eyebrow "Stated your name boy." Roy shrugged his shoulders "My name's Roy. What's yours?" It didn't answer his question "I found you in that crater northwest of here. What happened?" The hedgehog glanced at him "You are the one who has repaired my injuries?" Roy nodded "Marth and Ike didn't come till later." Roy thought it was odd how the creature spoke The hedgehog speaks intelligently. Must be pretty smart. Roy extended his hand to the hedgehog. The hedgehog stared at it confused "What are you doing?" Roy blinked "You...don't shake hands?" It shook its head "Why would I do such a thing?" This put a blank look on Roy's face "You do it as a greeting." It looked at his extended hand, then grabbed it.
The hedgehog only looked more confused "I am not knowledgeable of your gestures. I never say hello to anyone." Roy blinked "Why? You seem nice to me." It looked at him "I am a weapon that kills others. Too many fear me." Roy shivered Great. I've helped some assin. The hedgehog spoke more "I am mecha bot number 2, code name, Metal Sonic. I was built for the sole purpose of killing Sonic the hedgehog." Roy raised an eyebrow "Who's Sonic? Never heard of him." Metal gave him a surprised look "You are kidding me." Roy shook his head "Never heard of him. I don't think you're in your world anymore. This is Pharea." Metal closed his eyes briefly "Scanning for location." He was silent for a long time. "Location not found. Area unknown." He turned to Roy "Do you have a system I can access to find my location? A satellite perhaps?" Roy gave him a blank look "A satellite? I've never heard of that before." Metal glared at him "Do not play games with me boy!" Roy shook his head "I have no idea what you're talking about!" Metal relaxed "Very well. I believe you then. Do you have some sort of map then?" Roy nodded "I have one in my bag over there." He rushed over to Marth and Ike's sleeping forms "Get up!" Ike woke up, wondering why he had to wake up, and Marth was glaring at him for waking up too early.
"Any reason you woke us up Roy?" he nodded, pointing to Metal "The hedgehog woke up. He can talk even!" Ike raised an eyebrow "Talk? You sure you weren't dreaming?" He nodded "He needs a map. Apparently he's not from here." Roy grabbed the map sticking out of his saddlebag, heading it back over to show to Metal. "here's the map of the region Metal Sonic." Metal studied it for a few seconds "That will do then. I have it in my systems." Marth and Ike had come over by then. Roy tilted his head "Anything else?" Metal didn't answer immediately, staring at Ike and Marth. "Are these subjects friends or enemies?" Roy sweat dropped "Friends Metal Sonic." He glanced at them "Identify yourselves, one at a time." Ike and Marth were shocked "you can talk?!"
Metal raised an eyebrow at this "Why is it so amazing I can talk? All Mobians can." Ike decided to start what Metal had requested "My name's Ike." He pointed to Marth "This is prince Marth..." Roy cut in "or you can call him princess!" Marth glared at him "I'm not a princess Roy! You're short!" Roy shrugged his shoulders "So? You are the most vain person in existence." Marth grabbed his collar "You're jealous I look so good!" Metal grabbed Marth at this point "You will NOT threaten master Roy, boy. Or you deal with me!" Marth was being held off the ground even!
He released Marth, causing Marth to gasp for air. He stepped next to Roy "If he bothers you again Master Roy, I will kill him." Roy was horrified "You can't do that!" Metal looked at him "Why? He is threatening the one that has repaired me." Roy shook his head "We always fight. I always tease him about being a girl Metal Sonic. So no killing him...okay?" Metal looked at Marth "My apologies then Prince Marth." Marth glared, then turned away "Stupid piece of shit hedgehog." Ike whacked him "Be nice Marth!"
