Fire Emblem Fates: My Adventure
Disclaimer: I don't own Fire Emblem Fates. It is owned by Nintendo and Intelligent Systems. (If I did, I would've changed Fire Emblem Warriors but no...)
A/N
This is my first SI fanfic overall, basically a remake of Fire Emblem Fates. Corrin will be in this story but she'll be in Nohr while I will be in Hoshido. I don't have experience with this game because I haven't played Fire Emblem Fates yet. I may have dug my grave on this one... (Sigh) I hate this already...
So, without further ado, here is Chapter 2
Previously on Fire Emblem Fates
"Good luck, my child. The fate of the world depends on your actions. You are our only hope."
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
CRASH!
And so it continues...
Chapter 2: Two Rivals, New Powers, & An unexpected revelation!
I opened my eyes. I looked at my surroundings. I was in a cell. Wait... Cell? I didn't remember being in a cell. AH, Fuck it... I'll remember it later.
"Ow..." I groaned, "Where am I? Why am I in a cell? What's going on?"
"I'll answer the questions, boy. Who are you and what are you doing here?" A voice said, "Are you a Nohr spy?" I looked up. There was a guy wearing what looks like a lobster type of japanese gear... god... my head hurts... I don't want to deal with this bullshit...
"Argh... can you wait? I need to lie down for a few seconds." I said to him, "I've got a splitting headache."
"I have no time, boy." The man disagreed, "You might as well tell me why you made a commotion inside Castle Shirasagi. Otherwise, you will be forced to leave."
I groaned. Fuck... so much for my relaxation...
"Alright. Fine. I'll tell you everything that you need to know but first, what's your name?" I sighed, "Make it quick because I am this close to beating the ever loving shit out of you for ruining my relaxation!"
The man was easily surprised by my colourful vocabulary. He simply chuckled to himself.
"What? What the hell's so funny?!" I asked, enraged, "What the fuck are you laughing about?!"
"You are a strange boy. I haven't seen a person with an unique personality before." He chuckled
"So? What about it and you still haven't answered my questions yet!" I shouted, "Who are you, Where am I and Why am I in a cell?!"
"My name is Ryoma, the eldest of the Hoshido royal family. You are inside Castle Shirasagi, and you're inside the cell because you almost killed Sakura, my youngest sister." Ryoma answered
At this, my eyes widened in shock. I almost killed somebody?! Fuck... Didn't see that one coming...
"I almost killed someone?!" I asked, "How is that possible?!"
"You fell from the sky and landed on Sakura as a result. Her injuries are minor so you didn't exactly kill her, but the next time that you do something like that, I'm gonna personally burn you into a krisp! You hear me?!" Ryoma explained, anger rising. "No one hurts any of my brothers or sisters under my watch!"
I simply backed away and huddled in a corner with my legs tucked in, shivering and begging for my life. Ryoma, once again, was surprised at this.
"I'm sorry... I''m sorry... I'm sorry..." I shivered, "I'll never do it again..."
Ryoma sweatdropped at my shivering form, but simply chuckled at my antics.
"Alright. I think that covers everything." Ryoma chuckled, "So, what's your name?"
He didn't really get a response because I was still shivering, in fear. Ryoma smiled, pulled out a key from his pocket and opened the cell door. I snapped out of my shivering state and looked at Ryoma, who opened the door.
"As I said before, what's your name?" Ryoma asked, "Stop shivering."
"Ah... my name is David. That's my name." I introduced myself. Really?! You just have to say your real name?! What the fuck is wrong with you?! I thought to myself.
"David... I've never heard that name before in my life." Ryoma said to me.
"Well, that's how I was named. So, Ryoma, what happens to me now?"
"You will stay here in Hoshido until further notice." Wait, what?! Did I hear that right? I'm staying in Hoshido?! NO! FUCK THAT! I NEED TO FIND CORRIN, DEFEAT THAT FUCKING DRAGON AND GET OUT OF HERE! I'M NOT LIKING THIS ALREADY!
"Wait, why?"
"Well, we still don't trust you." Ryoma said, "Only my mother, Queen Mikoto will decide your fate."
"So, you don't trust me?"
"Obviously. You almost killed Sakura."
"Oh... right... I'm sorry."
"Just follow me and no funny business. Alright?"
"Ok."
I simply followed Ryoma out of my cell and into the Castle. Well, to be honest. The castle was huge and my eyes were swirling because apparently, Ryoma showed me everything in this castle. WOW... this castle... it's magnificent, big, huge and breathtaking.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked, "I'm getting confused with this Castle."
"I'm taking you to my mother, Queen Mikoto. Apparently, she wants to speak to you."
"Oh! Is she the ruler of this land?" I asked again but in a sarcastic manner. To my own surprise, he nodded his head.
"She is, David. My mother is the ruler of Hoshido." Ryoma explained, "Oh. One more thing."
"What?"
Out of nowhere, he decked me in the jaw. I landed on my butt as I held my jaw in pain.
"OW!" I winced, "What the fuck was that for?!"
Ryoma simply chuckled. "Hehe... that's for almost killing Sakura and for your profanity."
I flipped him off in response while he chuckled. After that humilating moment, Ryoma took me to Queen Mikoto's room, where I saw her other children inside, a few advisors and some guy with green hair. I was completely unsure about this. How am I gonna explain this to Queen Mikoto about almost killing Sakura, one of her children?! Oh! What to do?! What to do?!
"Hey. Don't screw this up, David." Ryoma encouraged me, to my own surprise, "She's a good and kind woman but you should watch out for Takumi. He's pissed."
"Thanks... for the information." I gulped.
"No problem. Good luck."
And that, Ryoma left me alone, outside her room... god... I hate this already...
"David, you can do this. You've already messed up once. Sakura's ok... I think... What can go wrong?" I said to myself before I grabbed the doorknob and opened the door.
When I opened the door, Queen Mikoto, her children, their advisors and the green hair guy all looked at me.
"Ah. There he is now." Queen Mikoto said, smiling. To be honest, I didn't exactly feel like I'm special because I've got a Queen who is happy as a bird, two of her children are giving me the cold shoulder, her youngest is in a cast, a few of their advisors all stared at me is disbelief and the green hair guy stared at me in curiosity. Ok... don't screw this up...
"Young man, what's your name?" Mikoto asked, "My name is Mikoto, the ruler of Hoshido."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Mikoto." I half lied, My name is David, a traveler." Well, I'm a traveler so that's technically true.
"So, what brings you in Hoshido, young man?" Mikoto asked again
"I don't know. I've just got here." I replied. That didn't suit well with Takumi, one of her children. Good. Let him get mad at me. That means I can beat the shit out of him in frustration.
"Oh! So, how did the hole from the roof appear out of nowhere?" Mikoto asked again. I started sweating bullets. I need to think of something, fast!
That's when it hit me. I can convince Mikoto to trust me. I just need to say the right amount of words.
"I... was testing on teleportation power and I accidentally crashed on the roof and possibly landed on your youngest daughter." I replied. Ok. That may be a half lie. I don't even know how to teleport but I did crash on the roof and injured Sakura so that counts for something. The way I said it made Sakura blush. I started smiling but my smile turned into a frown when Takumi started glaring at me with pure hostility. I just ignored him.
"Is that so?"
"Yes, Queen Mikoto. I would never harm any of did to you."your children. It was just an misunderstanding." I finished, "So, Sakura, I'm sorry for what I've done to you."
This managed to catch them off guard. Hell, even Mikoto was surprised. After 10 seconds, Mikoto cleared her throat.
"I see. You don't seem to be dangerous so you can stay here as long as you like." Mikoto said. YES! I silently cheered. I simply smiled and raised my fist in mid air in celebration. The green hair guy smiled and soon then, most of them started following what he did.
Takumi, however, thought that what I said was pure bullshit so he stood up and aimed his bow at my face. The red haired girl stared at me in disbelief, but upon looking at Sakura, she gave her a sad smile. I can tell by the look on her face that she firmly believed me. This all leads up to Takumi, a complete asshole.
"I don't believe that, Nohrian Scum!" Takumi shouted at me. I was caught off guard by his tone.
"Takumi, he- " Sakura tried to say
"Sakura, do you really expect that we fall for this lie?! He's a Nohrian Spy! I can tell by his outfit!" Takumi interrupted, pointing at my clothes.
"Hey! What the fuck are you doing?! I'm trying to be nice, you fucktard!" I shouted at him. Queen Mikoto, her children, their advisors and the green hair man gasped in shock, but Takumi started to get more angrier. Good. The more angrier and unreasonable he gets, the more insane I get.
"You should watch your mouth, Nohrian Scum. You may have fooled mother and the others but you won't fool me!" Takumi shouted again.
"What?! I'm not fooling everyone, you fucking idiot!" I yelled, "I've just exp-"
"Not buying it! Who the hell do you think you are, deceiving us?!" He interrupted. Wait, did he just- Ooh! That's it! He's done it! He's made me mad! Ladies and Gentlemen, you are about to experience what happens when you drove me over the edge! Takumi is the first!
In an act of frustration, I punched him square in the jaw. Most of us, including Sakura, were shocked at this. I think the only one who was smiling was the green hair guy again. I wonder why he was smiling. Was it because of my punch? I don't even know. I just gave up at this point. Takumi was being a unreasonable asshole.
This must've alerted his retainers... I think their names were Hinata and Oboro... I don't know but it doesn't matter. If they get in my way, they should consider because you don't want to deal with an enraged human being such as myself.
Suddenly, I can feel my hands glowing dark red. "What the hell?" I asked myself as the glow shone brightly. Hinata and Oboro closed their eyes so that they won't get blind by the red light covering me. The others were curious of my glowing hands when my eye glowed red.
"What's going on?" I asked everyone, "Why am I glowing red?"
No one answered. Figures... Left with no other options, I closed my eye and embraced the red light, like a second skin being formed... Ah... I actually love this... but... no time to go off course.
After a few seconds, Hinata and Oboro opened their eyes. When they did, they stared at me with wide eyes. Soon, everyone else followed suit. Even the green hair guy raised his eyebrows. Takumi was still knocked out but I don't care about that. I opened my eyes and looked at my appearance. I still have my clothes that Naga gave me but my scarf has disappeared. Instead, a pair of sunglasses are on top of my head. What the hell? Where did I get sunglasses? I'm so confused.
My clothes have been altered. My suit jacket has been turned into a dark red western duster, my pants have turned black and my gloves became fingerless.
But the most amazing thing that happened is that I was holding two ranger revolvers. For some reason, this is kind of familiar. C'Mon... think... you know this person from before... c'mon! AH! I remember!
I've just remembered who I look like. I look like Ray McCall from Call of Juarez without the cross armor, hat, hair and eye change.
"What the hell?" Hinata asked, "He's changed equipment."
The others, excluding Mikoto, who was staring at me in amazement, Takumi, who I knocked the fuck out with my right hand, and Oboro, who was glaring daggers at me, were muttering to each other. Hell, even the green hair guy was saying something about Wildcard or some prophecy bullshit... god... all of this is starting to confuse me.
"Woah... " I muttered, amazed. "I look different..."
Mikoto's eyes shone brightly, almost as if she's happy about my new look.
"Oh Naga, you... you have the power of the Wildcard!" She said happily. I stared at her, dumbfounded. Wildcard? What the fuck is she on about? What Wildcard?
"The Power of the Wildcard?" I asked her, "Queen Mikoto, can you explain to me what it is?"
"No, silly! You should know what it is by now! You have the Mark of Naga!" Mikoto replied, in a eerily cheerful tone.
I tried to find out what she meant when I just remembered something... Naga... she did say something about an ability that fits my personality.
I will grant you an ability, one that matches you unique personality. You have an anger problem, you have a mouth that won't stop talking, you love anime and video games, and you also love emo haircuts
Ah... that's what she meant about her given ability... I think that me turning into Ray McCall from Call of Juarez counts as part of my personality.
So... just to clarify... me punching Takumi + my mouth + Naga's mark = New Powers! WOW! I've got new powers!
"I've got the Mark of Naga?" I asked her again.
"Yes! It's shown on your left eye!" She replied cheerfully. "That tells us that you were sent by Naga herself!"
"Naga herself... Ah... I see."
"Mother, he has the Mark of Naga?" Sakura asked her.
"Yes, dear." Mikoto replied to Sakura, "He's sent here by Naga herself!"
"Oh! Who's Naga, mother? Can you tell me who she was?"
"Ah... Sakura, I'll tell you when you're older."
"Aw... ok..."
"Excuse me, Lady Mikoto but we're getting off track. Can you tell me about Naga, please?" I interjected, "I'm so confused by all of this."
"Oh! I'll tell you but not right now, dear." Mikoto told me, "I'll explain later!"
"Eh? Why not?"
"That is a secret! Hehe..." Mikoto giggled. Argh... so much an explanation... Well, at least Mikoto's not mad. That's a good thing, right?
After a few seconds, she cleared her throat.
"So. I think I've made my decision. David, you don't seem to be dangerous so I've decided that you should be in Hoshido for the time being." Mikoto decided
"Wait, what?" I asked her, shocked
"As I said before, you're not a threat so you can stay!" Mikoto said happily, "You've already proved to me that you're not a threat."
"YES! I CAN STAY!" I cheered, to everyone's surprise, but Mikoto, Sakura and the green hair guy started chuckling at my unusual antics. The red haired woman simply smiled, with Hinata and the others following suit, but Oboro was still glaring at me for no reason- Oh wait! There is! I knocked out Takumi and she is pissed... Yeah... I should get out as soon as I can. I started shivering at Oboro's hostility.
"Um... Excuse me, Lady Mikoto. Can I leave, please?" I asked in a polite manner
"Oh! Is something wrong?"
She didn't get an answer because I simply jumped out of her room window... but... because of my IQ, I didn't realize that I jumped out from god knows how much feet from the ground.
I waved to Mikoto and pulled out a sign that read: It was at this moment that David knew, he fucked up.
"AAAAAHHHHHH!" I screamed. Mikoto smiled and giggled as I plummeted down to the ground with a puff of smoke, landing in a bone-crunching position. Apparently, I ended up landing on a pile of wood that somehow showed up out of nowhere.
"Ow... my back... I broken me back..." I groaned before I closed my eyes, passing out... god... I hate my luck...
I opened my eyes. I was in a room. A room that I haven't seen in Castle Shirasagi. Hmm... I wonder what it is...
"Ooh... what happened?" I asked myself, "Why am I in a room?"
"You are in my room, David." I looked at the source. It's Sakura's sister but I forgot who she was. You see, I have Short term memory loss. "You landed on a pile of wood after you ran out of Mother's window like Wile E. Coyote." Hang on, how does she know who Wile E. Coyote was?
"A pile of wood? How is that possible?"
"I don't know. I think that you have bad luck, David. Like-"
"Wile E. Coyote. I know... um... what's your name?"
"Hinoka. I'm Sakura's sister."
"Nice to meet you, Hinoka." I introduced in a charming tone. Hinoka started blushing. I smiled. Wow... looking like Stefano Valentini really paid off... for once...
"Oh! Y-Y-You're making me blush." Hinoka stammered, blushing
"Ah... you're so cute... you know that, Hinoka Hoshido." I flirted
"Ah! Please, stop... You're making me fluster."
"You're flustered... good... I really love a woman like that..."
For some odd reason, Hinoka suffered a nosebleed.
"Hinoka... are you ok?" I asked, "Your nose is bleeding."
"Ah! It is! Oh. I'm sorry." Hinoka apologized, "I've been getting them recently."
"It's alright, Lady Hinoka." I assured, "We all make mistakes."
We started laughing... man... it feels good to be charming. After a period of silence, she cleared her throat to get my attention.
"So, David. What was that back there?" Hinoka said, "With those two unusual weapons that you held."
"Oh! Are you talking about my transformation?" I asked her, "To answer that, I don't actually know but because it's red and black, I should call that transformation: Red Baron."
"Red Baron?"
"Yes. Red Baron. It symbolizes part of my personality like what happened back there when I punched your brother in the jaw." I explained, "Also, I'm sorry for what I did to Takumi."
"It's ok. He can be a bit... moody sometimes."
"Moody?"
"He has an eternal hatred to Nohr, who kidnapped... ah... no... I can't tell you yet."
"Hmm... can't tell me what?"
"It's nothing. I'll tell you when I'm ready."
"Alright."
We went silent... again... god, I hate intense atmospheres...
So, I tried saying something but before I opened my mouth, I saw a cat, lying down on top of my chest. With a childlike sigh, I grabbed the cat and started holding it like a child.
"Hello? David?" Hinoka asked, trying to get my attention.
"Ah... he's so cute..." I muttered.
Hinoka giggled while I held the cat in a parentlike manner. I was sighing happily while stroking the cat. She started purring happily as I giggled.
I stood up and continued stroking the cat. She meowed happily. However, this next moment... well... I managed to screw up once again... Well... here goes...
I was too busy holding the cat that I felt a sudden burst of pain hit my stomach. I barely had enough time to realize that Oboro, for some ironic reason, stabbed me with her Naginata. Apparently, she still hasn't forgiven me for knocking out Takumi. The cat somehow managed to stay on despite almost getting stabbed.
"Ow!" I shouted, "That actually hurt!"
"Ha! Take that, Nohrian bastard!" Oboro shouted, "You'll pay for what you did to Takumi!"
"Oboro, what are you doing?" Hinoka asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Lady Hinoka, stay back! He's a Nohrian spy, sent here to spy on us for information!" Oboro replied
I simply sighed, grabbed her Naginata, and snapped it in two. I threw both bits out of the window, to her own shock. Hell, Hinoka was shocked as well.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" Oboro screamed at me, "THAT WAS MY TRUSTED NAGINATA!"
"You tried to kill me with that, Oboro. I can't let you kill me if you attack blindly."
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! THAT WAS MY PERSONAL WEAPON! I MADE THAT AFTER MY PARENTS WERE KILLED!"
At this, I heard a record scratch inside my head. Wait... What?! Her parents are dead?! Oh shit... I'm such a fucking idiot...
"Oh... I didn't-"
"Don't care. David, you don't know what it feels to lose the ones you love." Oboro interrupted.
And so, Oboro left... breaking down in tears... she closed the door, leaving a saddened Hinoka behind. I wanted to ask her why her parents were killed but Hinoka was too sad to talk. The cat meowed sadly.
"I know. I fucked up. Again." I said to the cat. The cat meowed in agreement.
"So, what do you want me to do?" I asked the cat. Surprisingly, the cat meowed once, telling me to hug Hinoka. "Alright... If you say so." I nodded
So, I grabbed her shoulders and embraced her in a hug. Luckily, she hugged me back. Soon, Hinoka started crying... oh god... sometimes, I hate my luck sometimes.
"Hinoka... it's ok... it's ok..." I comforted, "I'm right here."
Hinoka continued crying as I held her like a father to his child. The cat lied down where I was lying down before. At first, I thought that she'll cry for a few seconds...
But I was wrong... I can hear her heart beating faster and faster and faster. That's when I realized that Hinoka's suffering from an anxiety attack. Soon, her cries became loud, sorrowful and horrifying.
"Hinoka? Hinoka? Hinoka!" I yelled. She continued crying. Yep. This confirms it. She's suffering from one.
"AH! CORRIN! WHERE ARE YOU, CORRIN?!" Hinoka cried in pure agony, "CORRIN! (Sobbing)"
"Hinoka, what's wrong?! HINOKA!"
"CORRIN!"
"Hinoka, what about Corrin? Is that person your friend?"
"CORRIN!"
I said nothing and just held on to Hinoka as tight as I could. Well, it worked because Hinoka's voice lowered and lowered and lowered until she stopped screaming.
"It's ok. Let it all out..." I comforted her, "I'm here..."
"I miss Corrin!" Hinoka sobbed, "I miss her so much!"
"Was Corrin your sister?"
Her response was sobbing. I felt my heart lurch in my chest. I know how it feels to lose a loved one... wow... getting pretty emotional right now... fuck... I feel bad for her... well, at least I didn't royally screw up with the Hoshido royal family... unless you're Takumi.
So... to recap on today's events...
I convinced Mikoto to let me stay, Takumi hates me, I almost got laid by Hinoka, I've got new powers, Oboro reveals that her parents were killed, I befriended a cat, and I fucked up twice... well, that's a start, at least.
But my adventure is just the beginning... I need to find Corrin, defeat Anankos and save the world, but first, I need to make sure that everyone from Hoshido is safe. I'm the Wildcard... that's all I have to say...
To be continued...
