Wow, this got more attention than I thought it would get. Thank you! I honestly just made this story since there was no crossover between 7DS & Fire Emblem so I decided to make this since both franchises were so similar in terms of setting and such.
Oh and who ever said about regeneration power making Trevor a juggernaut badass, just you wait my friend. He is going to get so much stronger.
Cue the chase music!
Dnununununununu- Dodge that thrust - nuunununu!
I was currently running for dear life while Frederick hunted me on horseback. Let me tell you, they weren't kidding when they say horses are faster. He got a lot of cuts on me already but they already healed, thank god. I had to think my dumb high schooler self who wanted to do track and soccer, so I was only running out of energy after the 3rd hill from dead sprinting for about 40 minutes. I decided to take a dip into the lost woods to my right, maybe he will have a hard time following me. If memory serves correctly, horse units can't go through woods!
I wander till I guess is the middle and lean against a tree to catch my fucking breath! God, I looked at my hand and saw the freaking mark. The dang circle with Ban's fox sign at the top. I didn't even know why it has importance in this world. The sin of division? First off, 99.9 percent sure that isn't a sin and does pretty much confirm that my atheism is a complete lie. And if I'm a sinner, then what did I do? I don't even remember doing any math that could be considered sinful.. Maybe the finals for school...
A death grip suddenly forced me to fall on the ground as I felt a cold rush down my spine, making me shiver. The fresh smell of dirt entered my nostrils as I looked up to see Fredericks endearing smile.
"Huuh, hi?" I grunted out as he pinned me on the ground. The metal from his amour crushed me and poked me. I felt blood trickle from certain points of how he pinned me. Holy shit, what is my personal defense?! 1?! I need to get out of his grasp but how?
"Well, if your going to outrun a horse, do try better. Other than that, your endurance and speed is great. With some more running and practice, you may be able to outrun me." At that point I drowned him out, like most of my teachers. I looked around my environment for any advantage. I eventually found a large log that was sitting near us. I stupid thought entered my head. If I had Ban's regeneration, then do I have Snatch? I was glad my hand was free that was facing the loose log. I concentrated on the log and did some finger stuff... Wait, that sounded wrong.. Ok, um use the force Trevor?
The log began to shake which made me smile, only for it to stop since Frederick gave my hand a piercing. The blood splattered all over us like some cheap horror movie. I glanced up at him, with his stone glare.
"If your going to try magic, don't ignore me, look at a shaking log, move your fingers at said log and stick your tongue out. Honestly, work on your subtly." I gulped at glare. He twisted his spear, making more blood gush out. I howled in pain as the hole in my hand grew. I started to panic. I wanted to get him off but he was applying lots of pressure. Also he was wearing amour so he was a little heavy. Wear lighter amour like Iida.
But that would defeat the purpose of amour since Iida's was made to be aerodynamic and design, not defense.
God if I can remember that, then I'm a hopeless weeb...
"Well, I never had a man sit on me before wearing full body armor. So can you get off me?" I hoped he would get off me, but he just gave me a glare. His knee dug into back and I heard the tip of his knee puncture my back, the blood trickled as my back flared in pain. Tears flared in my eyes as I bit my lip. I was done with this. I tried to slip in any of my weight to push myself upwards, but Frederick prepared for that. He pulled out dangers from some where and staked me to the ground.
"SHIT! Are you trying to make me like Ban?" I panicked. He cocked a eyebrow. Fuck I forgot that he doesn't exist here.
"I don't know what you mean by that. I'm trying to keep your from running. Now, if you will excuse me I will go find Milord and Milady." He finally got off me and I just saw him leave me. Holy fuck, all the salty moments from playing video games suddenly just came back to me. I stand to stand as the daggers started to burn. I somehow got off the ground from my staking on the ground and, as another stroke of luck Frederick didn't hear me get up. I grabbed the daggers from my legs and ripped them out. Frederick turned around, since someone grunting as the rip knifes out of their arms will make noise and saw me as I ripped out the daggers from my arms. Blood tickled down my limbs but stream came as they healed. I dropped all the dagger on the ground for Frederick to see.
"That all you got?" I tried to make it sound menacing but it sounded more like "that..all you got.?" I noticed that my depression was kinda leaking there, but I rather choose I was suffering from blood loss. Wait, I can't use that as a excuse now. I technically had infinite blood due to my new immortality. Wait... Immortality! Wait, why would that matter here? God fucking dammint! I'm thinking to far ahead again! I saw Frederick get into a fighter stance, which flared a instinct instantly. I dug my foot under the blade of one of the knifes and kicked it up like a soccer ball. I got it in my hand somehow, and hoped all my training from movies, anime and Percy Jackson can defeat a professional knight. I gripped the knife and made a defense position as he charged.
He gave a swipe, which nicked me of course. My shirts was just beyond repair as he made another swipe. Hey swiper, no swiping... Hahaha... I made a swipe at his face to which he parried with a simple flick of his spear. I stumbled back as he jabbed at my foot, he barely missed as I regained my balance. I threw the blade at him, to which was a stupid move since it left me weaponless and he just swatted the blade away. I loved how the strength I had just disappeared when I threw that. Makes me really happy, that my attack misses and now I'm fucked. Frederick rushed forward and twirled his spear to my neck. I hung my hands up in defeat, might as well hang a white flag.
"That all?" Frederick lowered his spear to his side. He smirked and he did the most surprising shit thing ever. He did a fucking backflip over me, in the full body armor. How!? I suddenly felt my shirt fall off me and I started to giggle like a mad man. Holy shit, he fucking cut off my shirt when he did that!
"Judging by the fact you threw your weapon when you could have deflected and the fact your surrendered even though your standing on one of the knifes' He pointed to my foot and I was standing on one of the knifes. 'You could have won the fight if you so wished. No assassin or doomsday bringer would make such mistakes." I blushed in embarrassment from the standing. Well, it's not my fault I never fought with a weapon with a person who was more experienced with a better weapon. It's like all the powerful units I made in my playthroughs came and bit me in the ass. Well, I don't want that actually. I did spend a lot of time grinding some characters. Mostly Donnel and the Avatar.
"And look, it's Milord and Milady." I turned to see Chrom assisting Lissa travel the woodlands, so it was really Chrom carrying Lissa through the forest. Robin trailed behind them in a hurried fashion.
"Thank Naga we found you. We were worried that you wouldn't do good with Frederick hunting you down, even if you have those crazy regeneration powers." Chrom let go of Lissa, who slid down him.
"How did you find us anyway?" I asked.
"Oh easy. We followed the screams of a little girl." It was Robin who finally replied with answer. My cheeks blushed when I realized I was the only one who screamed here.
"H-Hey, I don't scream like gIrl." I clamped my mouth at my voice crack. Why... I haven't had one of those in a while... Clearly, it didn't go unnoticed. Lissa, Chrom and Robin burst into a laughing fit, and Frederick sheds a small smile. I was blustering mess of embarrassment as I collapsed on my knees to hide my face. Everyone collapsed in laughter besides Frederick, being the soulless man he is. All my years of being bullied are coming to haunt me.
"Stop...Stop laughing!" I plead. They stop and get up from the laughing fit. I stood up and looked at them. Chrom finished chuckling.
"Anyway thanks Frederick for um.. whatever you did. Anyway, before we get to what we were going to talk about, we need to ask something."
"Alright. Whats up?" I asked.
"Hey, your from another world right? What's it like?" I practically choked. I was not expecting them to realize that.
"Excuse how?" I begged.
"Well you see, the prophecy about you said that you came from another world. So me and Lissa used to imagine what that was like when we were kids. For Lissa sake really since I frankly don't care anymore." Lissa quickly changed into a face of utter betrayal in like nanoseconds.
"Traitor! We made a pact to find out what his world was like if we ever met him! Alright mister, when we get back I'm telling your darkest secret!" She yelled which got Chrom panicking.
"Don't tell anyone that! We both agreed we wouldn't tell anyone!" He shook her as she laughed, like good old man Joker.
"Milord, this wouldn't be the secret that your last name is Clutterbuck?" The two stopped as I instantly bite my lip to stop myself from laughing. I felt my eyes shake, along with the rest of my body from the pressure. I glanced over to see that Robin naturally floated over to my side and she was doing the same thing. We took one glance at each other and lost our shit!
"CLUTTERBUCK!? WHAT KIND OF NAME IS THAT!?" Robin screeched as we fell laughing. We didn't hear Chrom nor Lissa complain over our laughter and the small chuckles Frederick made. Eventually we took our stand.
"Are you guys done..." Lissa moaned. I wiped a tear from my eye for having the best laugh of my life, which is saying much. I heaved from the lack of moisture in my lungs and throat, which hurt. God the dry heaving. Pretty sure that's the right term.
"Yes... Yes we are Lissa." Robin said. I wondered why she came to my side during that exchange. Chrom coughed with a slight blush.
"Anyway, Trevor. I have a question that applies to you too Robin." Wait, using my shitty detective skills, is... is he going to ask us to be shepherds?
"I want to make you two shepherds." Oh thank god. The million dollar question. Now, do I say yes? Well, I mean I have nothing else to do. This is pretty much the only thing I know from Ylisse. Plus, with game knowledge I can defeat some tough parts of the game, like Emm's death or capture. Maybe I can prevent it? Maybe...
"I'm guessing your not really taking care of sheep, are you?" Robin jarred me out of my brain, like if I see a reference from a video game or anime practically any where and for the most part they aren't even related to a game. Mostly Zelda lines and My Hero. God, I am a worthless weeb.
"Well, that it's the name of Ylisse's greatest militia. I wanted to make you two members of that militia. Do you agree to my offer?" I glanced at Robin who also looked at me.
"Well, I'll have to agree. What about you Robin?" I asked. She glanced at me, slightly puzzled. Weird.
"Um, yeah I'll agree too." Robin took her glare away from my face and it returned to normal. Chrom face twisted into one of glee, like one of his normal portrait faces. God, he looks like a fucking three year old with that smile. No wonder he gets charm as a skill. Meanwhile Lissa always look like she is four, regardless of the face she makes.
"Well good. Your now on the way to becoming shepherds." He said to which me and Robin stared blankly at him.
"What?" We both said in unison like those weird children in the shining. Oh god, the heebies of just thinking about them.
"Well you see, in order to earn the title shepherds you need the wielder of the Falchion's say, A high ranking general's permission, The ruler of Ylisse's permission, and finally the leader of the Pegausus knights final say." Frederick finally spoke up. Wait, that wasn't like that in the game. I guess this isn't the game, but a more loose version of it. Ugh god, my plans may not work like that. I ran those people into my head. So Chrom, Emmeryn and Philia. Wait who is the general...
"Well said Frederick. What do you say?" Me and Robin flinched when we heard that. Frederick was the fucking General. How did I not think of that?! I was thinking of a oh I don't know, A ACTUAL GENERAL CLASS.
"Well, I'll agree on two conditions. One for each of them. Robin mustn't be with in 10 feet of Milord or Lady when I'm not present. As for Trevor.." A random though ran through my head.
"Wait, I never told you my name." I said.
"You talk in your sleep." Lissa spoke, which made me blush in embarrassment.
"Anyway, For Trevor to get my permission, I am to train him personally to become fighting material." I gulped since that meant Fredericks All American Dream Plan to the EXTREME. I was not looking forward to this moment... But It is a small price to pay for I don't know, doing something I know.
"Well I agree to my terms. I mean how hard can it be, hahaha..." I made it painfully obvious that I had a sarcastic nature into that so I didn't get extra time in Pris- I mean Fredericks training.
"Well He clearly sarcastic. I kinda like him." Chrom replied. Well, good thing he got it! My grandmother never understood my sarcasm. Made life very peculiar.
"Well thank you Chrom!" I released the terrible smile I'm known for. Where half my face looks like it is trying to be poker face and the other is trying to smile. So it looks like the sadistic psycho killer. Or like Toga but minus the vampire teeth.
"Ok, now that you accepted my complement, answer my question." Everyone looked pleased at Chrom's trap card that he placed. But now it's time for me exodia card!
"Wow, I didn't see you as that smart Chrom. Clearly you know equivalent exchange!" Frederick didn't look pleased at that roast but Lissa laughed again. As the mighty demonic sponge one might say, She has a massive laugh box.
"Ok wow. I never thought there would be someone like that in my life. Anyway, can you just answer the question please?" Well, I didn't want to tell them they are in a game since like back to the future or all the self insert fanfiction on a certain cite.
"Imagine this world, minus magic, swords, axes, lances, dragons, Pegasus, wyverns and way more advanced in technology." I decided that was all I was going to say, for the time being.
"So...boring?" Lissa said. I sighed, like a famous red head from this game.
"Frankly, yes. Today was my introduction into magic firsthand! Otherwise I only heard of it." I tried the innocent 'I didn't know' game, god hope it works.
"Well, he seems okay with me for the time being. Nice to have you two on the team!" Chrom cheered. God damn, what's with the royalty's cheerfulness? I need that.
"Milord, We should make haste for the capital and report this to the exalt, and get our new additions to become true shepherds." Frederick had to burst the bubble like a prick. Wow, did I just make a metaphor? Look at me!
"Wait, we aren't staying? That family said we could join them for dinner!" Lissa complained. Mmm, dinner... Now I'm hungry, even though that's all the time.
"Lissa, the quicker we can get to Ylisstol, the sooner you can use a real bed and take a bath." Chrom bargained better than most people on the internet and he was face to face with them. I so badly need to learn from him.
"UGH, ok brother..." Lissa finally agreed. I smirked since she reminded me of my own sister.
I wonder what she's up too.
"Alright let's head out!" Chrom said and left without us answering his rally. I have to follow this man if he doesn't wait for us to yell on the top of our lungs at him? Well, I know who I'm going to make the butt of my jokes.
We did proceed to walk away, for who knows how long. Maybe a few hours since the sun set. Well, hello darkness old friend. I haven't seen you in a good few hours. I was waiting...
Holy shit, I unleashed my evil side for a bit there oops.
"Hey Trevor." Chrom called me forth so I ran towards the trainer that "faithfully" called me. I walked a few feet to Chrom and kept my pace to him.
"Yeah Chrom?" I asked as I noticed Frederick taking Lissa and Robin forward as Chrom veered to the left, taking me with him. We treaded the land till we found a reasonable spot. It was clear and surrounded with bushes.
"Alright, sit in the middle." I rose a eyebrow and sat in the middle of the clearing, like a werid monk. Sorry Libra and Bradley.
"Why am I doing this?"
"Easy, we will catch a bear as you as bait!" Chrom cheered as he hid in bushes.
