Prologue:
"No stop! Put me down!" the young prince cried, struggling to get out of the Black Knight's grasp, which was the Black Knight grabbing his tunic. Then, because of the prince's complaining, he grabbed him tighter and threw him against a wall causing him to yelp in pain. "Marusu!" a young twelve-year old Roy cried out seeing his friend in so much pain. "Roy! C'mon." Ike called to the young prince. "We need to help Marth."
"Now it's time to finish you Prince Marth. I can't have you interfere with my plans," the Black Knight told the prince as he took his tiara. "Hey! Give it back!" he cried knowing he couldn't win. Then the Black Knight cast a spell on Marth's tiara then put it back on his head, and that's when the magic took its affect. The tiara was slowly taking the prince's memories, causing him to scream in pain. "Aiku! Roi-kun!" the young prince screamed in pain as his memories faded, causing him to faint in Roy's arms. "I can't believe you!" the young mercenary cried in anger. "First you kill my father, then you take the prince's memories!" he cried while unsheathing his sword, the Ragnell. "And this time, I will defeat you." Ike said getting ready to fight.
"Oh, I'm not going to hurt you young mercenary." he said while shooting magic at Roy causing him to fly back into a wall with a thud. "Roy!" Ike cried running towards the prince, who was rubbing his injured shoulder. "The breast and shoulder plates work." he said weakly with a small smile trying to lighten the mood. But Ike continued to look at the Black Knight. "Now, where was I?" he thought aloud as he put a clear dome around Ike and Roy. Then he used magic to get Marth's tiara and sword, the Falchion in his own hands. "I'll take these." he said using magic to pick up the unconscious Marth and throw him towards Ike and Roy, which resulted in a small whimper from the prince. "Now I send you three to Crimea." he said as the three boys went through the vortex to Crimea. "I have a kingdom to run, and kingdoms to conquer."
