Okay, I am now writing three stories at once, but for Fire Emblem! Look, I'm not one to get someone sold on something, so just read and enjoy. By the way, this is a little after the shepherds rescue Maribelle from Gangrel.

I own nothing from either Zelda or Fire Emblem. Cover by Kisarasmoon.

The Lost Hero

Chapter 1

The Man in Green

Chrom and Robin were in a small village in the southern part of Ylisse investigating reports of a warrior protecting the settlements in that area. Of course, hearing of such a powerful fighter all by himself, they were going to investigate in the hopes of forging bonds with a new ally. But, they'll have to find him first.

"Chrom, do you think this guy even exists? I mean, we've been here for a few hours, and we haven't seen any traces of this guy! What if this was some joke, or a ploy to get this town noticed?"

Chrom agreed. "You would think that we would have met such a man by now. Well, I guess we got our hopes up for nothing. Let's get going, Robin."

Right as they were about to leave, they heard someone calling for help.

"R-risen! Risen everywhere! Just south of town!"

Chrom and Robin turned to see a massive group of armed risen about to lay seige to the town, or they would if it weren't for the man in-between.

Robin noticed immediately that he fit the description they received earlier perfectly. Taller than average, wearing green clothes, long golden hair, and a long sword and shield. But his weapons truly were peculiar... He then remembered he was standing alone against a whole risen army. Whoever this guy is, he's either nuts or very strong... He was hoping for the second option more than the first. The newcomer drew his weapons and stepped forward.

"You go no further! So much as another step will earn you your ends!" The Risen responded with nothing than a mere moan as they continued towards the small town. "Very well. You leave me no choice! Let it be known that I warned you of the consequences!"

With that, he began his assault. He charged the first swarm of the beasts, taking down any of them that got in his way. After he had slain a few of the monstrosities, the villagers began to cheer for the warrior.

"He's here! The Lost Hero is here to save us!"

"He's always there to protect us!"

Hearing the villagers say that stunned Chrom. He's done this sort of thing before? Interesting. If we could recruit this guy...

Without hesitation the warrior continued his attack on the Risen. He used moves the likes of which neither Chrom nor Robin have seen the likes of before. He used spinning slashes, rolling back-slashes, and powerful jumping attacks.

Chrom started smiling. Oh, we are definitely recruiting him.

OOO

After he single-handedly annihilated the army that threatened the village, the man sheathed his weapons and turned towards the forest, much to the displeasure of Chrom and Robin.

"H-hey, wait up!" They chased after this so-called "Lost Hero" to see if they could get some words in. It took them a while to catch up, and when they did, they could get a better look at him; He had long golden hair, pointed ears with blue earings, and startlingly blue eyes. He also wore a very peculiar sword and shield.

"Excuse me, Mr. Lost Hero, can we ask you a few questions?"

He turned around and crossed hs arms. "State your business. I need to find the Exalt of Yllise, so I need to hurry post-haste."

Chrom smiled. "Well, I just so happen to be her younger brother, so if you need a message sent to her, I'll get it to her as fast as I can."

The man's eyes glimmered with hope. "P-prince Chrom!? Oh, my most heart-felt apologies sire! Please forgive my dreadful manners!" He bowed as deeply as I could, prying a smile from Robin.

"Oh, I did the EXACT SAME THING! HAHAHAHAHA!" His sudden burst of laughter confused the Lost Hero. "Wow, what a coincidence!"

The hero looked furious. "How dare you even think of offending the prince with your vulgar display of la-" He was cut short by Chrom's fit of laughter.

"Am I missing something?"

Chrom spoke up after halting his laughter. "I've never been much for formalities, so none of that is really necessary. But may I ask your name, brave knight?"

The man nodded. "My name is Link. I have news of an assassination attempt on Lady Emmeryn. We must hurry to Castle Ylisse as fast as we can."

"W-what!? We better get going! Robin, ready our forces for whoever dares try to harm my sister!"

"Right! I will prepare everyone at camp as soon as possible." Robin hurried back to his camp as fast as he could.

"Link! Please come with me! We need to hurry ahead to protect Emmeryn!"

"As you wish!"

With that, they all set out to Castle Ylisse as fast as they could.

OOO

Once they got there, there was no one to be seen other than the servants. Chrom, as dense as ever, began questioning Link's knowledge.

"Are you absolutely sure about this? No one has reported any suspicious activity."

"He speaks the truth!"

Everyone but Link searched around for this new spectator. Who they found was a young man in blue with the exact same sword as Chrom.

Link seemed annoyed by the timing. "Marth! It took you long enough!"

"My apologies, Link. Chrom, this man speaks the truth. An attempt on Emmeryn's life will be made soon."

To give emphasis, he drew his sword. "If you need evidence, stay there."

As if on cue, an assassin jumped out of the bushes attempting to kill Marth, only he jumped high into the air and brought his sword down, instantly killing the murderer.

"I trust, this proof will suffice."

Unknown to Marth, second assassin jumped out to kill him, only Marth tripped over the fallen assassins sword, with the assassin managing to break Marth's mask, revealing him to be... a woman, and a beautiful woman at that. Link immediately ran up and bashed his shield into the offenders chest, running him through with his blade, and threw him over himself and drove his sword through him and into the ground.

Chrom was absolutely shocked. "Y-you're a woman?"

Marth turned around. "Yes, and quite the actress, too. Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't figure it out 'till just now."

Link was running to the castle. "No time to talk! They are infiltrating the castle as we speak!"

Chrom went pale "Sister!"

All of them rushed inside to Emmeryn's side.

And chapter 1 is done! Whew, it took me a bit to remember all of that about Awakening! As usual, please review and tell me what's up!
