Disclaimer: I don't own Fire Emblem
(A/N): Well this is my First Fanfic so be nice…
The story is about a Cyborg alien (MyOC) that crashes in the world of FireEmblem. This story starts 45 years before the game's story does. (To make back-story info) The story will eventually catch up with the main story so don't worry.
Fire Emblem: The Dark Stars
Chapter 1: Enter the Biological Machine Ziro
I awoke to find myself looking up at the sky. Strangely enough I washed up onto a beach. If I remember correctly… my one manned ship was shot down, and I slipped into the planet's atmosphere. I blacked out when my ship hit the water, and at the moment I was kind of out of it and I was in a state where I could only speculate. Two shadowy figures towered over me; I could swear that they were talking.
The first voice spoke. "He seems to be unconscious, perhaps injured."
No not really… I'm just in a state of shock.
"Hey, Ulki! He's got round ears! You think he's human!" The second voice exclaimed.
"Yes I believe he is."
"Then we should just leave him here! Shouldn't we?"
"I would agree under normal circumstances but you saw and I heard that object fall out of the sky, and then this man washes up on shore not to soon after. I would say that he's very suspicious. …That and how he's dressed."
Well he's certainly a sharp one. But what do my clothes have to do with anything? Wearing all black with steel boots, a sleek silver mask without any distinctive area for a mouth, and a coat that has the left sleeve extending down to my knuckles and the right sleeve cut off at the shoulder with a glove covering my right arm going all the way up to my shoulder. Isn't that normal?
"So we'll bring him to the king, huh."
The one called Ulki spoke, "Correct, now… lets lift him up."
They both try an attempt to lift me up but…
"Holy feathers! This guy must be really hitting the bacon! He's like three-hundred pounds!"
They both fail in lifting me of the ground. Sadly, I can't tell them that my entire insides are made of metal.
They both stop trying to lift me and Ulki took a moment to think. "Janaff, go to the castle to get some help."
Janaff stood up from the sand he was resting on. "Yeah, I'll tell them 'We need help in lifting a Human.' I don't think that'll go over well…"
At that moment I fell uncurious.
-27 hours later-in the crappy afternoon-
I awoke to find myself in bed looking at a stone ceiling. I looked around the room to see some really old fashioned furniture and some burned out candles on the end table next to me. I get off of the bed and stand up. I saw that I wasn't wearing my coat. It seemed to be folded up on what looks like a bench. I put my coat on and move to the door to leave but someone already entered. He looked like a big strong distinguished guy with wild black hair and some kind of red wrapping around his head. He wore a green coat and had big golden brown wings.
Wings…? … … … an alien…
The big guy spoke first. "So you've awakened." The man spoke with a smile. "Glad to see you're breathing. I must say you don't look as heavy as you are. My friends found you on the beach and had a problem lifting you. I wonder if you really are human."
I hesitated for a moment and thought what I should say. "Yeah… I'm not human."
"I see… could you be a… half-breed?"
That was surprising to hear. I responded with a question "A half-breed of what?"
"I personally don't care if you're a half-breed or not, but… a lot of Laguz hate the half-breeds more than humans."
I thought about what the man with wings told me. I assumed that he was talking about Human and Beastman half-breeds. "No, I'm something else entirely. I would explain it to you but even I have a hard time understanding it. So I'll just tell you my name." I thought to myself about that. Should I give him my alias? Or my real name? Well my real name freaks everyone out so… alias it is. "My name is Ziro.
"Strange name, is it foreign?"
Oh you have no idea… "Yes… yes it is."
The winged man introduced himself. "My name is Tibarn. I am the ruler of Phoenicis."
"Phoenicis? Never heard of it."
"Well, I'm not surprised if a Human seeming person doesn't know my name, but you never heard of Phoenicis?" The winged man was probably thinking I was extremely uncultured.
"I'm… very foreign…"
"I see. I have another question for you."
Another one? Crap… I don't like being on the spot like this.
Tibarn's smile dimmed as he spoke. "Do you know anything about the object that fell out of the sky?"
"Yes." I figured I'd be a little honest. "I was… flying in that thing and then I was shot down and crashed into the water."
Tibarn was surprisingly calm about my explanation. "I assume there is more to the story that you don't wish to tell me. But as long as my country and my people are not in any danger; I will not ask anything more."
I spoke softly and reassuringly. "Do not worry. Your people will be safe."
After a brief moment he responded. "Do you like meat?"
In my own response to a question that had nothing to do with anything. "Yeah, I'd eat it."
Tibarn's smile rose back on to his face. "Well then Ziro! We shall hunt and then eat to our hearts content! You can hunt, right?"
"I can even hunt with my fists."
Tibarn spoke in a loud voice. "Then let us go!"
As he was almost pushing me out the door; I was thinking that going out hunting was kind of a pain. It's much easier just to grab a burger and fries. But I have my doubts that this guy knows where to find a burger stand, or a fast food place.
-unknown hours later (Sorry, I lost track of time) -sunset-somewhere in the forest-
Tibarn was laughing hard. "Well then my wing-less brother. We will feast on foul tonight."
I was counting the animal corpses Tibarn had hunted. "Twenty-three…" I looked at the number I had. "Two… and a half…" I really don't want to explain the half part.
Tibarn spoke in strong words. "Don't worry about something like that. It's not important. It was only an alligator. What is important is to eat till our stomachs are full."
But in a literal sense… if you really do eat till your stomach's full, you'll vomit, or die.
"My brothers shall meet us here to help carry the meat"
By 'Brothers' I hope he's talking about his friends and not his family. I'd hate to meet his relatives. I thought while brushing my long jet-black hair out of my eyes.
As I listened or rather tuned out his voice, I could hear the sound of footfalls. I interrupted Tibarn and asked. "Are there Humans here on Phoenicis?"
Tibarn spoke in a confused manner. "No, only the Laguz of the hawk tribe live here."
I asked another question. "Is Phoenicis an island?"
"Yes."
"Then… I should tell you that I can hear pirates coming this way."
Tibarn was shocked at the notion. "Pirates dare to come here! Are you sure!"
As he said that, pirates walked out the forests and into our sight.
"See, pirates." I pointed out.
"You have good ears Ziro. I have to admit, you are quite gifted for a… um…"
"Just call me a Bio-Machine."
"Alright then, are you able to fight?"
"With my fists. You go and fly off and try to find their ship. I'll kill these."
"Can you handle this many?"
I was smiling with an evil grin under my mask. "Hell, yeah."
The king of Phoenicis nodded and batted his wings and flew off turning into a hawk.
"That was not what I was expecting him to do… he must be some kind of morph."
"ARRRGG!" The fattest pirate spoke. "Look at all that meat! We'll just chop this Sub-Human loving fool down and we get to eat till our hearts content!"
"Does everyone here think only about eating?" I spoke in the metal sounding voice I had due to the mask I wore. I sound intimidating to other people when I have the intent to kill.
Some other pirate ran towards me with a sword with the intention to kill me. As his sword was about to hit me I blocked it with my right arm. He would have been surprised if I didn't rip out his throat with my left hand in the same second.
The other pirates looked shock at the sight of their dead friend. The fat one was angry "Kill that bleed'n rat."
Two other pirates with axes rushed at me. I picked up the sword from the ground and threw it into the heart of the fat pirate. All the pirates looked at their dead comrade but they were looking in the wrong direction because I had already killed the two pirates that rushed at me.
I took the next moment of silence to remove my glove from my right arm. The glove was being kept in place by a heavy belt. I unhooked it and the belt fell down my arm to the ground taking the glove off with it revealing a cybernetic arm. The pirates then charged at me in rage.
With blinding speed I stepped forward and struck the closest pirate with an uppercut from my arm. He died. Three others tried to hit me but I jumped up in the air to about four times their height. I spun back and smashed the heads of two of the pirates with front side of my legs. They died. I was flat on the ground, a major side effect of the move I just used. The next pirate tried to kill me right then and there so he swung his axe down on my head. I rolled out of the way to my left and grabbed an axe of one of the dead pirates and buried it into the living pirate's skull.
I stood up from the ground and looked at the remaining two pirates. I pulled the axe out of the dead guy's head and threw it vertically at one of the pirates. The axe buried itself in the guy's chest. The last pirate couldn't decide what to do. So before he could decide, I dashed right next to him with my fist in his face and pulled back and ready for a full out punch. I released my punch. Instead of punching straight I released it towards the ground crushing the pirates head entirely between a cybernetic arm and the ground.
They were all dead and I figured that I would have some free time. So I piled up the dead guys and guarded the meat. I put my glove for my right arm back on and then I sat back against a tree in waiting for Tibarn. Soon he showed up and landed a few yards away from me with blood on his… face/beak? He wasn't injured so I'm guessing he killed a pirate with his beak. He turned into his Human form and looked around, still with the blood on his face.
"You really should clean that up." I said.
Tibarn replied. "I'll do so later. For now, I have to admit, I really didn't think you could fight off this many pirates."
"Yeah… well." That's the glory of being half machine… Fatal strikes with one hit…
"Did you crush this guy's head?" Tibarn asked while looking at the last pirate I killed.
"Yeah." As I said that I could hear the sounds of wings flapping. Not a second after, thirty bird-men… or Laguz landed near us and changed to their 'Human?' form.
"Brothers you're here! Tonight we're celebrating a victory!" Tibarn spoke.
A familiar voice spoke. I think it belonged to some called Janaff. "Hey, king. You alright? Ulki said he heard the sound of fighting." The voice belonged to a boy with short sandy blonde hair.
A bird-man with brown hair and a bit of a beard around his chin stepped up. "I'm glad to see you unharmed." I recognized his voice too. His name was Ulki.
Janaff looked towards me. "You actually went hunting with this weird guy?"
I ignored his comment because cool people like me don't respond to things like that.
"This scrawny boy is a rather great warrior and good hunter. He handled both situations with just his fists." Tibarn spoke highly of me even though he unknowingly insulted me. But the bird-men were shocked by his comment.
As the bird-men changed into their bird forms and lifted the foul meat and carried it off; Tibarn turned into his bird form and lifted me off the ground taking me back to the castle. Apparently he's not even fazed by my weight. Anyway… he described his side of the battle to me; I was shocked to learn that he could talk in that form, but after a moment I was ignoring him while catching only a few keywords like… pirates, fat, explosion, and someone wearing feathered hats. The only thing I was thinking of was 'who the hell shot me down?'
I may never find out.
"…Crap…"
