The city was still under siege as the man called Sanji, who preferred to be announced as Mr. Prince, escorted the Twins and Darios out of the escape tunnel and into the main grounds on the kingdom.
"Where exactly are you taking us, Mr Prince? We have to get to the front gates, this isn't the way to them." Lianna said.
"It's a detour, miss. Trust me, my friends are this way. They're clearing a path." Sanji said before seeing the path was destroyed. "What?" he said as standing there was a man in greek like armor with sword and shield as he stared down the approaching group.
"What...is this?" Rowan said.
"Who are you?" Sanji asked as the man wielded his sword and charged. "You asked for it!" he said delivering a kick but was shocked to see it didn't phase the man who knocked him back. "Bastard's built like a wall."
"I get the sense this stranger isn't one for words." Darios said.
"He doesn't seem to be from our land either." Lianna said as the group was listening via the comm on Sanji.
"No wonder we were cut off. Who the hell was that?" Jexi said.
"I took a picture and ran it through the system. It's coming up as...Achilles." Tails said.
"Achillies? You mean, that guy is the Legendary Warrior from the Trojan Wars?!" Hope asked as Achilles swung and missed Sanji. "Sanji's kicks aren't doing anything to him."
"Because according to folklore, Achilles was bathed in waters of the River Styx to strip away his mortality." Robin said.
"Is that why he's not saying anything?" Chopper asked.
"That's not really the hot button issue. The issue is Sanji is facing a Roman warrior who can't be hurt." Lacy said.
"There's one weakness, but I don't know if Sanji can find it." Robin said.
"How the heck did this guy get here, anyway?" Jesse asked.
"He must've been drawn here by those portals that hit this world earlier." David said.
"As for why he's attacking us...this is a theory right now but...I think he might be one of the Deserters." Jexi said.
"What? That ain't right for you to say that Jexi. Achilles would never turn his back on the Greeks. He fought to the end in the Trojan Wars for his people, his country, and you're suspecting him to be part of the Warrior Universe Loyalist group?" Gemini said.
"Maybe he's just confused as to how he got here and is attacking indiscriminately." Sectonia said.
"It's just a theory. He could be controlled or something." Jexi said.
"I'd hardly call that fighting he's doing controlled. It seems like the way he always fights, as shown in the text books." Rarity said.
"So if he really is Achilles, he should fight with pride, respect and honor." Twilight said.
"So for now, I'm willing to bank on Sectonia's explanation. He has no idea how he got here, and is fighting indiscriminately in the confusion." David said.
"Something just doesn't feel right about him." Jexi said as a figure ran past them. "Huh?"
Achilles and a monster rose their weapons high before a figure blocked both their attacks and knocked them back with their sword.
"Uh...who are you?" Rowan asked.
"My name is Marth." the figure was revealed to be a person in a mask with long blue hair. "I'm here to protect you."
"Lucina...of course she'd be doing that persona again." Jexi said to himself.
"It seems I've stumbled into a world that does have more back bone than I first thought." Achilles spoke.
"Who are you? Are you with the Deserters, or did you find your way here accidentally?" Sanji asked.
Achilles fell silent again.
"Say something, dammit!" Sanji said.
"Stumbled? So he really didn't come here of his own volition?" Ichiro asked
"Yellow did say that warriors from different worlds would stumble here. I wouldn't be surprised if he was one of them." David said.
"Yeah, but I was expecting warriors from the Fire Emblem Worlds. I didn't think warriors from other wars." Jexi said.
"Yellow mentioned heroes from other worlds when he came to get us on Mobius. He didn't say which ones." Shuichi said.
"True. I thought he would be referring to the Deserters...but I guess I was wrong." Jexi said.
"Deserter or not, Achilles is still as tough as they come. Sanji is in for a tough fight in this one." David said.
"Don't worry. With Lucina...I mean Marth...they're about even now." Jexi said.
Marth and Achilles clashed with one another, leaving enough time for Sanji and the royals to escape.
"Seems the job I have come here to fulfill has been done." Marth said.
"Whew… They made it." Himiko said.
"Like we ever had any doubt in the future princess of Ylisse." Rainbow said. "Now we better get out too before those monsters find us."
"Roger that!" Leia said.
As the heroes departed, Achilles took off his helmet as he watched.
"What is this strange land?" he wondered before he heard singing as approaching him was a figure from afar. A woman with long hair in a dress with a musical score design. "Who...goes...there?"
"You have heard my voice, and have no choice. For the strength you gave, you'll be my slave. As a Roman Warrior and beheader...you'll make an excellent...Deserter." she said as Achilles bowed. "Hehehe. Diablo is going to be pleased about this." she said. "And I bet he'll be more pleased when I get those Dimensional Heroes wrapped around my finger." she said before Achilles tried to behead her. "So...it seems you lack the mental capacity for my control to take hold."
"Begone siren!" Achilles said.
"If I can't use you...I'll just have to break you with the other so called war heroes made into my slaves." she said as many shadowed figures were walking out of the allies. "You see...I always get what I want...no matter what." she said.
"I would rather die before joining you." Achilles said.
"That's what they all say." she said chuckling as the warriors were gaining up on Achilles as she walked off. "Sigh...they always have to play hardball." she said.
