Everyone: Happy New Year!
Robin: And with a New Year comes a new story!
Lissa: The first of it's kind!
Logan: And my official debut!
Chrom: Didn't you appear in Youkai Adventures during the 10th Chapter?
Logan: Yeah, but it was more of a cameo!
Frederick: Good point!
Omarnosian10: Now then, ON WITH THE SHOW!
Prologue: Verge of History
(Unknown Area)
Two humanoid beings are currently clashing in the air with bladed weapons. They both stopped to take a breather, letting the clouds move to reveal the beings in the moonlight.
One of them is a black knight with green gauntlets, silver highlights, green shoulder padding, green boots, a green waist cape and a green 3-point star shaped visor. He is holding a glowing green sword and has a green/black shield on his back. A green hourglass symbol is located on the chest.
The other figure is a black armored figure. Over the armor is a dark purple hoodie with cracks that reaches to his feet. His helmet has a gray visor with a dark purple eye in a black crack that covers the face and a wiggly blade horn on the forehead area. He also dons a strange belt that has a tomb with an eye-like device inside it. He is holding a scythe-like weapon with a glowing purple blade. An eye-like symbol is on his chest.
"Listen to thy! Thou are possessed by Zs'Skayr! (lowers arm) Thou haveth to battle wicked spirit! The shall not allow Grima to return to the living!" declared the black knight in an English accent as the purple hooded figure laughed wickedly.
"You still don't get it do you Tennyson? Soon, the Fell Dragon will rise again and bring destruction to the world!" laughed the black figure before placing the eye symbol of the weapon in front of his belt.
OMEGA DEATH!
"Thy shall free thou from Zs'Skayr's possession! And slay Grima once and for all!" cried the black knight while his sword flared with ecto energy while the black figure's scythe blade began glowing an eerie purple.
"I'd like to see you try!" cried the black figure before they gave a battle cry and charged at each other with their blades. Suddenly, a flash of light took hold.
(Bellwood University Dorm Room)
A person shot up from his bed and panted. The person has shaggy brown hair, green eyes, pale skin, and slightly muscular. He is wearing green pajamas with 10s on them. The person checked his wrist to see a wristwatch-like device with a white and green color scheme and a face-plate that is black with two green stripes forming an outline for an hourglass.
"It was just a dream." sighed the person before getting off his bed.
'Or was it?'
(Bellwood University Cafeteria)
The person is now wearing a black shirt, blue pants and a green jacket with white stripes and the number 10 on it, and black shoes. The person is picking on his food, still baffled from his dream.
"WHAT'S UP BEN?!" shouted a person with spiky black hair pointing upwards and a black leather jacket unzipped, revealing his rainbow-colored shirt. He also wears blue slightly torn jeans and black shoes. He has sunglasses to conceal his eye color. He is currently holding a tray of food. Ben shrugged while continuing his business.
"Nothing much." muttered Ben while the person sat down and gave his friend a concerned look.
"Still having that dream again?" asked a feminine voice as 2 more people sat down on the table. The one who spoke is a girl with long orange hair in a ponytail, green eyes similar to Ben's, and freckles. She is wearing a white shirt under a dark blue sweater, black stockings under a black mini skirt, and black high heels.
"What dream?" asked the other person confused. The person is male with shoulder length black hair and dark brown eyes. He is wearing a tight black T-shirt over a grey long sleeve shirt, blue pants, and black combat shoes.
"I've been having this dream where I'm Phantom Knight and was fighting Logan in the sky as Kamen Rider Ghost in Zs'Skayr Soul Mode." Informed Ben, confusing the person further.
"Who's Zs'Skayr?" asked the person confused while the girl sighed.
"Kevin, remember when we fought Ghostfreak? (Kevin nods) Turns out that his DNA Source is known as Zs'Skayr." answered the girl as Kevin nodded.
"Got it. So does that mean you were actually fighting Zs'Skayr in Logan's body?" asked Kevin as Ben sighed.
"I didn't get enough facts about him in the dream, so I'm not sure." shook Ben with an elbow against the table.
"Don't worry Ben. I already called the Plumbers yesterday and they checked Zs'Skayr's old lab. Nothing there shows his rebirth anytime soon. (Ben remains unchanged) You know, my grandfather once told me that if a dream's repeated, then it's actually a vision of the future unprocessed." advised Logan before lowering his head, recalling his grandfather's demise at the hands of the Shark Cellclone years ago.
"Maybe. (shrugs) And another thing is that he mentioned about reviving a dragon named Grima." added Ben, seeing Logan's mood drop.
"And I thought I can help him by looking up this Grima in Hex's old library, but no luck." sighed Gwen while Kevin raised an eyebrow.
"Why didn't you look him up in the Planetary Library?" asked Kevin while Logan glared at him, recovering from his mood change.
"I tried, but nothing about Grima is there. No person, no thing, no place, not even a rumor about it. We might have a better chance finding a fish drowning in water than Grima." groaned Logan frustrated before hearing the bell ring.
(Afternoon, Bellwood Academy Hallway)
"~It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday~" sang Logan as he and Ben walk to their dorms, happy that the weekend has officially begun.
"Logan, can't you stop singing for 5 minutes?!" snapped Ben as Logan stopped singing.
"Sorry dude, just trying to lighten the mood." waved Logan as Ben rubbed his temples.
"You could've at least sung a Sumo Slammers theme song to make me forget about... " trailed off Ben while looking down.
"Hey cheer up. It's not like the answer is gonna come out of nowhere. (both eyes widen) Did I just... " trailed off Logan before a blue flash consumes them.
"DARN YOU LOGAN!" was all that came out of Ben's mouth before they disappeared.
(Unknown Field)
Ben and Logan are currently lying down on a field recovering from unconsciousness. Two people are standing over them. One of them was a girl who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen. She had short blonde hair tied up in two pigtails with grey eyes while wearing a yellow dress with a brown vest around her waist, wearing a frilly apron over her waist line on the yellow dress. The other person had midnight blue hair with a black vest, with a white shoulder cape over his left arm, shoulder armor on the… well, shoulder, black pants, grey boots that went up to his knee, and having a sword in its sheath next to his side.
"Chrom, we have to do something." pointed out the girl while Ben and Logan slowly open their eyes.
"What do you propose we do?" asked the boy.
"I… I dunno…" answered the girl. The first to fully open his eyes is Ben, but not fully recovered, as he looks at the girl.
"Eunice, is that you? (sits up) Did you get shorter?" asked Ben groggily while the girl pouted.
"I'm not short!" pouted the girl while the man patted his head.
"(sarcastic) Sure you are. (normal) My name is Chrom. And you are?" asked Chrom while Ben stood up, now completely recovered, and rubbed his head.
"Name's Ben. (looks around) Have you seen a boy with spiky black hair, sunglasses and a rainbow shirt anywhere?" asked Ben as Chrom pointed behind him. Ben turned to see Logan waking up and looking around.
"Where are we? Last thing I remember was that big flash of light." asked Logan while Ben shrugged.
"We're not in Kansas anymore, that's for sure." joked Ben
"You mean that we're in another country?" asked Logan.
"Yes, you are in Ylisse." answered Chrom.
"Ylisse?" synced Ben and Logan.
"Guess, I'm not the only surprise to be here as well." replied a voice as Ben and Logan turn to see a man with short white hair, dark brown eyes and is wearing a black cloak with purple highlights and something on the back of his hand. It was a magenta colored U–shaped mark with six eyes on it, three on each side before the mark spiraled down and got smaller.
"First, who are you? Second, can you please tell us what Ylisse is?" asked Logan.
"This land is known as the Halidom of Ylisse. Our ruler, Emmeryn, is called The Exalt. I suppose proper introductions are in order… My name is Chrom– but then, you already knew that. (glances at the white haired man) The delicate one you referred to as 'Eunice' during your recovery is my little sister Lissa. She's a Cleric." informed Chrom.
"I am not delicate! …Hmph! (puffs her cheeks before turning to the awoken trio with a smile) Ignore my brother, please. He can be a bit thick sometimes. But you're lucky the Shepherds found you. Brigands would've been a rude awakening!" exclaimed Lissa.
"Shepherds? You tend sheep? …In full armor?" asked Logan confused while Ben raised an eyebrow, but for a different reason.
'Are these guys medieval versions of the Plumbers?' thought Ben curiously.
"Heh, it's a dangerous job. Just ask Frederick the Wary here." smirked Chrom while jerking his thumb at the knight with brown hair and in somewhat bulky light–blue armor, looking at the trio cautiously for some reason while on his brown horse.
"A title I shall wear with pride. Gods forbid one of us keeps an appropriate level of caution. I have every wish to trust you strangers, but my station mandates otherwise." informed Frederick.
"My name is Robin. Nice to meet you." friendly smiled the man.
"Nice to meet you too. Again the name is Ben." introduced Ben.
"Logan's the name, and riding's my game." quipped Logan as Lissa giggled while Ben face-palmed.
"Ben and Logan? I take you two are foreigners seeing that you're not familiar with Ylisse and your strange clothing?" asked Chrom.
"You could say that." muttered Ben as he rubbed the back of his head with his hand.
"Though you may think that we're crazy, but we were on our way to our rooms, then suddenly something blinded us and here we are." explained Logan.
"That is unusual." remarked Fredrick.
"Ah, well. We can discuss it later. We're almost to town. Once we—" paused Chrom.
"Chrom, look! The town!" interrupted Lissa while she pointed to a direction. Everyone look at the direction to see a town on fire with buildings burning and smoke going up.
"Darn it! The town is ablaze! Those blasted brigands, no doubt... Frederick, Lissa! Quickly!" exclaimed Chrom.
"What about them?" asked Frederick while pointing at the trio.
"Unless they're on fire as well, it can wait!" ordered Chrom.
"Aptly put, milord." agreed Frederick.
"Let's go already!" shouted Lissa before the three of them ran (or in Frederick's case rode) to the town, leaving the other half of the group behind.
"But what about— Hmm..." muttered Robin.
"Should we armor/transform in there or do it hiding?" asked Logan before turning his head, only to see Ben running to the town. Sighing, he and Robin followed.
(Southtown)
The sound of a cry for help echoed throughout the whole area, making the villagers run away in panic as the Brigands continue stealing things valuable and even kidnap some of the village girls for their own project of sorts… don't ask why.
"Gwah ha, ha! Get to it, lads! Grab anything shiny, and get the rest to the torch!" cackled a man in his 40's. He had very short messy brown hair, wearing a furry cape over his bare body with a few red streaks on his face and stomach, wearing brown tattered pants, tied up with a rather large buckle and armed with an axe. He was completely satisfied with his current masterpiece as he saw another house being torched and licked in flames.
"We got an example to set for these Ylissean types! Ain't that right, lass?" smirked the Brigand before he advanced towards a helpless girl as the maiden crawled back away from the bandit.
"S–Stay away from me!" pleaded the maiden before the Brigand held her wrists tightly and had a sinister smile on his face, making her fear the worse and cry out for help.
"Please! Someone! HEEEEEELP!"
*SLASH!*
The Brigand managed to let go of the maiden and back off because someone was about to cut his arm off. He looked to who it was, and it was Chrom, with Lissa and Frederick arriving at the scene.
"Grr… who the heck are you three supposed to be?!" growled the Brigand angrily.
"Fellow villager, are you alright?" asked Chrom as he helped the maiden get back on her feet, which surprised her.
"Prince Chrom? Is it really you?" asked the maiden, surprising the bandits.
"So, a fellow royal family member came down to play, eh? This should be interesting indeed!" said the Brigand amused.
"Your evil days of pillaging town and villages are over Brigand!" declared Frederick.
"Yeah, so you better high tail it out of here or you'll be sorry!" threatened Lissa. The Brigand heard the threat from Lissa and he broke down in laughter.
"Is there something funny that my sister said to you, fiend?" asked Chrom as he held his sword from its sheath.
"Yeah, there is! You kids think this is all fun and games, but get real! This is reality and when you're out here, there'll be no extra hands to help you out this time! (other band of thieves slowly gather around the area, surrounding them) Lookie here, boys, there's some fresh meat ready to be slaughtered!" cackled the Brigand
"Uh oh… Chrom, this isn't good…" muttered Lissa worried as both Frederick and Chrom protected her.
"Don't worry, we'll take them out." assured Chrom.
"You can count on us." added Frederick as the Brigand cackled.
"Count? COUNT?! Look around you! What can the 3 of you do against a whole dozen of us Brigands?!" cackled the Brigand.
"Make it 6!" cried Ben as he, Logan and Robin joined the Shepherds.
"You 3 followed us! Why?" asked Chrom in a mixture of shock and surprise.
"I...I'm not certain myself. But I'm armed, and I know my way around a fight, if you'll have me." replied Robin uncertain at first then changed to determined.
"We couldn't just stand by and do nothing while the people's future is in danger." added Logan.
"Of course—strength in numbers. Just stay close!" approved Chrom while the Brigand cackled.
"It doesn't matter how many of you fight us! Fellow Brigands, show them our power!" ordered the Brigand while the others pulled out flash drive-like devices with a rib-cage design and a stylized M in them, imitating a mask. Seeing this, Logan and Ben gasped.
"Where did you get those Planetary Memories?!" demanded Logan.
"Why should I tell you?! (brings out a red Planetary Memory with an M stylized like a volcano) Now witness the great Garrick's power and burn!" cackled Garrick as he pulled down the collar, revealing a USB port-like tattoo. The other Brigands did the same with their collars before inserting the Planetary Memories.
MASQUERADE!
MAGMA!
A black/crimson light surrounded them, forcing the Shepherds, Robin, Ben and Logan to shield their eyes. Once the light faded, everyone un-shielded their eyes and looked at the Brigands, only to grimace at the sight (except for Ben and Logan, who grit their teeth). Standing in the Brigands' place are black-skinned beings with the Brigands' clothing and they have bone-like designs around their heads. The creature in Garrick's place is made up of charcoal with fire features around it's torso and head.
"W-What happened to the Brigands?" stuttered Lissa while looking at the creatures.
"Milady, it appears that they have mutated with those strange things inserted on a strange tattoo." answered Frederick while Ben and Logan raise an eyebrow.
'They don't know what flash-drives are? This world must be very low tech.' thought Ben and Logan while Garrick cackled.
"Witness the power of the Gaians, starting with you 2." cackled Magma Gaian while pointing at Ben and Logan. Suddenly, a red 'W'-shaped belt buckle that is holding a red Planetary Memory in the right slot and a blue Planetary Memory in the left slot appeared on Logan's belt. Magma Gaian blasted a stream of fire from his back at them, creating an explosion.
"BEN! LOGAN! NO!" cried Lissa while trying to rush to the rescue, only for Chrom to grab her waist.
"Lissa, no! It's too dangerous!" warned Chrom to the struggling Lissa while Robin glared at the Magma Gaian, everyone unaware of a green/red/blue flash in the fire..
"You monster!" shouted Robin while Magma Gaian laughed.
"2 down, 4 to go! Masquerade Gaians, attack!" ordered Magma Gaian.
BLAZE-GUNNER!
"I don't think so!" cried a voice from the fire as it began getting absorbed into something, or rather, someone. Absorbing the flames is a magma-based life-form with a body composed of a bright inner magma body covered by dark red rocks. His feet has a slight oval-like design with only two toes and one back toe. He has a green hourglass symbol on his chest.
"Thanks Ben! I was almost sweating." thanked an armored being split down the middle with a silver line. Its left half was blue, with cyan accents on its shoulder, chest, wrist, and ankle. The other half was red, with orange accents in the same places. It had an antenna shaped like the letter 'W' in the center of its head, with a red gem under it. It had red, bug-like eyes and a blue blaster attached to the left side of it's chest. Chrom blinked at the voice.
"Logan? Ben? Is that you?" asked Chrom surprised.
"Don't worry it's us. But when we're like this, we go by another name." assured Logan.
"Call me Heatblast!" proclaimed the Pyronite as he burned a circle around him before it hovered into a rock-like platform.
"And I'm Kamen Rider Double! Blaze-Gunner Mode!" proclaimed Double before he took off the blaster and whirled it in his hand.
"Kamen Rider?" blinked Robin.
"I'm not seeing things, am I?" asked Lissa.
"No, Lissa… you aren't dreaming weird things…" replied Chrom.
"I knew it! That man is another monster! He's gonna burn us alive!" exclaimed Frederick while pointing at Heatblast. whose non-visible eyebrow twitched at the accusation.
"Now...it's time to count up your crimes!" announced Double as he pointed the blaster at his foes.
"You ready Logan?" asked Heatblast.
"Born ready, Ben." replied Double as he looked at Heatblast and nodded.
"Then it's hero time!" shouted Heatblast.
"Hmph. I don't know who you foreigners are or where you came from, but if it's a fight you want then it's a fight you'll get! Attack!" commanded Magma Gaian as his Masquerade Gaians took out a silver funner cup looking blaster and fired at the two fiery heroes.
"Laser Lances?!" synced Double and Heatblast before rolling out of the way of the blasts.
"Okay I count at least eleven of these guys, twelve if you include lava breath over there." observed Double.
"Alright then, we'll deal with the Halloween rejects first then deal with the Magma Gaian. Sound like a plan?" asked Heatblast as the Masquerade Gaians began running at him and Double while aiming their Laser Lances.
"Yeah. Ready...GO!" shouted Double as he jumped to the the right while Heatblast jumped to the left in order avoid the blasts from the Laser Lances.
As the two fiery heroes were in mid-air they began attacking the Masquerade Gaians. Double took aim with his blaster that shot fire like projectiles at each Masquerade Gaian to his right. At the same time Heatblast hurled fireballs at each Masquerade Gaian to his left. After getting hit by the attacks 10 of the Masquerade Gaians fell back and lost consciousness. Double and Heatblast then regrouped after landing and shared a quick high five before looking back at their foes. The last of the Masquerade Gaians looked to his left and then to his right as Heatblast and Double stared him down. After a few seconds the Masquerade Gaian dropped the laser lance and began running away in fear until he accidentally stepped on a rake causing it to smack him in the head with handle of the tool. The Masquerade Gaian stumbled in place for a second before falling down on his back and joining his comrades in unconsciousness.
"Grrr...incompetent fools! Must I do everything myself?!" shouted the Magma Gaian in anger.
"Alright flame brain, I'm gonna give you one chance to surrender and tell me where you got those Planetary Memories and Laser Lances." offered Double as he pointed his weapon at his foe while at the same time Heatblast brought up his fists and got into a fighting stance.
"I've got a better idea for you meddling foreigners..." The Magma Gaian replied while he got into a stance and began charging up a large fireball with both his hands (much like Goku's own stance when he charges up a Kamehameha) "BURN IN HELL!" The Magma Gaian exclaimed as he unleashed his fireball at the two heroes. The impact of the attack resulted in releasing a large smokescreen onto the battlefield and left a few small fires in place of where the two fire based heroes were standing.
"BEN! LOGAN!" cried out Lissa in shock and sadness.
"HAHAHAHAHAH! PATHETIC! Let this serve an example of what happens to those who appose me!" bellowed the Magma Gaian.
Lissa then began to sniffle and cry after seeing the damage done by the fire based monster.
"No one will be shedding tears, while I'm around!" shouted a voice. Lissa stopped crying for a moment and looked back at the battlefield.
"This fight isn't over yet lava breath!" shouted another voice.
Suddenly a large piece of rock came flying out of the smoke with a fiery trail coming out from behind it. Standing on top of the floating rock was Heatblast in the front and Double standing right behind him.
"WHAT?!" exclaimed the Magma Gaian.
"Round 2 flame brain! Eat this!" shouted Double as he jumped up off the platform and fire a few shots at the Magma Gaian as he fell down to the ground.
"Gyah! Gah! Agh!" screamed the Magma Gaian in pain after being hit by the shots from Double.
"And here's a knuckle sandwich!" exclaimed Double as he delivered a punch to the Magma Gaian's jaw and sending him back a few feet before landing back on the ground.
"Gah...you'll pay for that!" threatened the Magma Gaian as he charged at Double to deliver a punch with his left fist.
"Not so fast!" responded Heatblast as he zoomed past the volcanic monster on his rocky platform and began hurling several fireballs at his foe while flying around him high above.
"Gah! Your attacks won't fatally wound me, so what are you hoping to accomplish with this pointless attack of yours?" questioned the Magma Gaian to Heatblast.
"Dude it's called a distraction, and works a little like..." began Heatblast to his fiery foe before Double ran up and punch the Magma Gaian in the chest.
"GYAH!" shouted the Magma Gaian in pain.
"That." finished Heatblast.
Double then tossed his blaster up in the air and began punching his opponent in the chest, including a few roundhouse kicks to the left and right side of the Gaian's chest.
"Let's rock this guy's world!" shouted Heatblast as he descended to the group on his rocky board, scraping the ground a bit as he drop kicked his board at the Magma Gaian's head, shattering the board into pieces and knocking the fiery monster back a few feet again as a result.
"GAHHH!" responded the Magma Gaian responded while holding his head in pain as Heatblast back-flipped and began to run at the Gaian.
"I'm all fired up! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!" exclaimed Heatblast while delivering several fire boosted punches to the Magma Gaian's chest. Double then ran up next to Heatblast as their opponent was breathing heavily, trying to recover from his injuries given to him by the two fire based heroes.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Double asked as he looked at Heatblast, who looked at Double and smirked in response.
"Oh yeah..." Heatblast replied.
The Magma Gaian finally managed to regain some of his strength as he looked up and saw Double and Heatblast standing in front of him.
"SHORYUKEN!" The fiery heroes announced as they both delivered an uppercut to the Gaian and sent him flying back.
"GYAAAAHHH!" The Magma Gaian shrieked in agony as he flew far back and landed on his back.
"No matter what place I am at... (looks over at Lissa, who has wiped away her tears and then looks back at the Magma Gaian) I will be the handkerchief that innocent people use to wipe away all their tears!" proclaimed Double as his blaster finally fell from the sky and he caught it in his left hand.
"Gahhh...darn you..." The Magma Gaian said as he got up and held his chest in pain as the Masquerade Gaians all finally regained consciousness and joined him.
"Let's end this with a bang!" Heatblast shouted.
"Yeah...let's..." Double replied as he took out the Gunner Planetary Memory from his belt and placed it into his blaster and flipped up what used to be a makeshift ammo clip for his weapon that revealed a new small square barrel colored in silver for the blaster.
GUNNER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
Double aimed his blaster with both his hands at the twelve Gaians as the weapon let a beeping noise that kept getting louder and louder. Meanwhile Heatblast was charging a large fireball much like the Magma Gaian did earlier, but this one was twice the size of his attempt.
"This...this cannot be! I...I am the great Garrick! I...I cannot be falling to the likes of two foreigners with strange abilities! Grrr...who are you two!?" The Magma Gaian demanded.
"Us?" Double asked coyly
"Heh we're just a pair of passing by heroes..." responded Heatblast.
"Remember that!" The two heroes replied together.
"Take this! Gunner Detonation! HA!" shouted Double as Heatblast unleashed his fireball at the group of enemies. Double's blaster emitted a stream of fire that he aimed at Heatblast's fireball, turning into a bomb that he would set off with his flamethrower-like final attack.
"GYYAAAHHHH!" The Masquerade Gaians screamed in pain after being hit by the combined attack.
"This...THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! GRRAAAAAHHHHH!" exclaimed the Magma Gaian after being hit by the attack himself.
The finishing move created a large explosion and left a smokescreen that once cleared revealed the Brigands and Garrick laying on the ground, injured by the impact of the attack, and in front of the foes stood the shattered remains of their Planetary Memories. Garrick reached out for his Magma Planetary memory that looked intact, but once he picked it up it shocked his hand and shattered to pieces as it fell to the ground.
"N-No.. " whimpered Garrick before he fainted.
"Are you guys alright?" asked Double before he and Heatblast reverted to their human selves.
"Yes, I'm alright…" replied Chrom as Lissa began hopping around with glee.
"Wow! I didn't know you can do that! I mean the armor, the fiery rock monster, and the way you blasted those monsters with that bomb!" complimented Lissa.
"Indeed you two had shown such strength and courage you guys." added Robin, impressed by display.
"I must admit, that was impressive. However!" started Frederick while glaring at Ben.
"Okay Frederick, seriously, what's your problem with me?! (crosses arms and furrows brows) I just helped saved your lives from those Gaians didn't I?" asked Ben annoyed.
"Yes, but how I can tell you're not an enemy? With that transformation of yours, anything can happen!" complained Frederick before Chrom intervened.
"Peace, Frederick! These 3 fought to save Ylissean lives. My heart says that's enough." complimented Chrom.
"And your mind, milord? Will you not heed its counsel as well?" Fredrick asked still uncertain on rather or not that he should trust us.
"Frederick, the Shepherds could use someone with Robin's talents and those 2's skills and abilities. We've brigands and unruly neighbors, all looking to bloody our soil. Would you really have us lose such an able tactician, a selfless knight and a helpful shapeshifter? Besides, I believe their story, odd as it might be." replied Chrom, still having faith in the trio.
"Th-thank you, Chrom." thanked Robin bashfully.
"So how about it? Will you join us, Robin, Ben, and Logan?" offered Chrom.
"We're in. It's our duties as heroes to protect those who cannot defend themselves and stop evil." nodded Ben.
"We won't let you down." added Logan.
"I would be honored." accepted Robin.
"Now that that's out of the way, we gotta question those Brigs." said Logan before everyone turn to the unconscious group... only to see nothing on the spot.
"They got away?!" cried Lissa while Ben narrowed his eyes.
"I don't think so. (gains attention) Did any of us hear footsteps during our conversation? (others shake heads) Then it's most likely that an outside source teleported them somewhere considering the lack of wings flapping." explained Ben.
"That is very observant of you, Ben." complimented Robin.
"Speaking of the Brigands, I've noticed that they spoken with a Plegian accent until their transformations into those... Gaians, I believe they're called." pointed out Frederick while Chrom nods.
"Plegian? What's that?" asked Robin as the duo would like to know too.
"Plegia is Ylisse's westerly neighbor. They send small bands into our territory, hoping to instigate a war." answered Chrom.
"And it's the poor townsfolk who suffer! Totally innocent, and totally helpless..." sighed Lissa sadly.
"They do have us, milady: Shepherds to protect the sheep. Do not be swept up in your anger. It will cloud your judgment." assured Fredrick.
"I know, I know... Don't worry. I'll get used to all this." replied Lissa.
"Milord, please! You must stay the night! We are simple folk of simple means, but we would gladly toast your valor with a feast!" offered one of the villagers.
"A most generous offer, sir, and no doubt your hospitality would be grand... but I'm afraid we must hurry back to Ylisstol." declined Fredrick.
"Dark meat only for me, medium well, and no salt in the soup. I simply— Wait, what?! We're not staying?! But, Frederick, it's nearly dark!" complained Lissa.
"When night falls, we'll camp. Eat off the land, make our bed of twigs and the like… I believe you mentioned you would be 'getting used to this'?" chuckled Frederick.
"Frederick? Sometimes I hate you." pouted Lissa.
"You've quite the stern lieutenant there." commented Robin.
"Yeah, well, "stern" is one name for it. I can think of a few others!" remarked Lissa.
"Frederick only smiles when he's about to bring down the axe." replied Chrom.
"He must've really loves his job then." remarked Logan.
"*Ahem* You do realize I AM still present?" asked Fredrick annoyed.
"Oh, we realize." remarked Chrom while Logan snickered.
"Milord remains as amusing as ever. Now then, shall we be going?" asked Fredrick.
"All right, all right. Ready to go? The capital isn't far." asked Chrom.
"Not yet. (turns to the villager) Do you have a hand size mirror?" asked Logan while the villager nodded before handing one to him.
"It's in case you have to use... those, right?" asked Ben while Logan nodded and the others looked confused.
Logan: I BECOME POSSESSED BY ZS'SKAYR?!
Ben: Dude, calm down!
Logan: Calm down? How can I calm down when an alien will possess me?
*Omarnosian10 sprays Logan with methane before being knocked out*
Chrom: That's better.
Ben: Did you really have to do that?
Omarnosian10: Yes. Ylisseans, since you're new here, cover your noses.
Ylisseans: Huh?
Omarnosian10: SMOKE-BOMB!
Ylisseans: OH NAGA THAT STINKS!
Ben: *shrugs* You get used to it.
