I do not own Fire Emblem
Robin's Hotel Room
Robin opened the door to his suite and saw a letter on the counter at the mini bar. He tossed the book he retrieved onto the couch and read the letter. 'Drinks are on the house.' He placed the paper back onto the counter and looked above the fridge. Staring at the wine bottles, Robin heard a hissing sound. "The hell?" He said out loud, looking around. He couldn't find where the noise was coming from. He turned around as if it was nothing and opened the fridge. Robin grabbed a beer and heard another hiss. He turned and felt some sort of presence. A third hiss was heard from the book. Robin raised an eyebrow. He placed his beer on the counter after he used the marble counter-top to open it. Slowly reaching for the book, Robin felt heat coming from the surface.
Minutes passed as the heat entranced Robin into a hypnotic state. It felt nice. He closed his eyes and relaxed. The tip of his finger touched the center of the book and the cover let off a small electric shock. Robin flew back and hit his head on the counter top, rendering him unconscious.
Validar's Home Office
Validar placed some files into his desk drawer. There was a knock on his door.
"Come in." The door opened. "Ah, Gecko, sit." Validar pointed to a seat. Gecko sat down nervously. "Relax." Validar leaned back in his chair. "Do you know why we needed Pheros?"
"Some rich guy wanted his daughter back?" Gecko answered to the best of his knowledge.
"Not just some rich guy, Gecko… Where is she? How did she escape?" Validar rose his hand before Gecko could speak and stood up. "Never mind. Don't tell me. I trust you will deal with this and get her back from wherever she is before the week is over?" He asked as he began to head out of the door.
"Aye, sir. But why is she so important?" Gecko asked. Validar paused and turned his head.
"I am trying to strike a deal with Don Walhart… and his daughter will be my trump card." He answered with a devilish smirk.
Ten hours later, Robin's Hotel Room
The sound of Robin's alarm rang on and on. He woke up in a puddle of his own drool. "What happened last night?" He asked himself. He went over the events of last night. 'I went through the door, grabbed a beer, and touched the book… The book!' Robin stood up to fast and leaned against the marble counter. He felt a crack, although his eyes looked straight at the book.
There was a knock at the door. Robin wrapped the book in a dish cloth found near the sink. "Yes, what is it?!" He asked nervously.
"It's me, Orton! You ready for that delivery and your payday?" Said the voice from behind the door. Robin opened the door while it was still chained to the wall.
"Now?" He asked.
"Yes, now, so hurry your ass!" Orton was getting impatient.
"Alright, damn, I'll be right there." Robin sighed. He picked up the wrapped with his bandaged hand and realized there wasn't any pain. He unwrapped, the gauze stuck to his hand due to the dried blood. With the bandage unraveled, Robin was shocked to realize his hand was completely healed, not even a scar was left. He shook his head and wrapped the hand back up and headed out the door with the book.
In front of the Hotel
"In the limo, now." Orton commanded.
Robin opened the door to have a face covered with smoke. He entered the limousine and sat across from Validar. The vehicle began to move after Orton entered and sat next to his employer. Robin handed the book out towards Validar. "There's your damn book." Validar placed his cigar in his ash tray and reached text. He grabbed Robin's arm instead.
"What happened to your hand?" Validar asked in interest. Robin pulled his hand away.
"One of the cartel's men nicked me." He said ignoring the fact that he was healed.
"Ah, I see. In that case, I'll take that off of your hands and-" As Validar was bringing out his checkbook, the limo suddenly slammed to a stop. They had crashed into the car in front of them. As if by instinct, Orton lifted up on of the side seats and pulled a shotgun from the bottom of the cushion. He hid from the windows as if he were in cover.
"Is that really necessary, Orton?" Validar asked.
"Stay here, sir!" The driver exited the car in a rage. The other driver got out of his car relatively unscathed. In fact, he looked emotionless, his blank stare creeped Robin out. The windows were sound proof, though they could probably hear the driver's screaming if they tried hard enough.
The driver winded up his fist and attempted to punch the odd man when he caught the driver's hand and began crushing his wrist. His head turned to look inside the limo and turned from blue to red at the sight of the book.
He tossed the driver as if he weighed nothing and placed his hand on the bulletproof glass, a high-pitched whine was heard as Orton lifted his shotgun and fired at the man as the glass shattered. Mechanical parts broke off of its face. Robin looked out of the window on his right side.
"What the fuck was that?" Orton asked.
"We've got bigger problems." They all looked out of Robin's window. A massive suit of armor was seen running incredibly fast towards the limo. "HOLD ON!" Robin gripped onto the bar above the door. The armored being punted the limo.
The impact was hard, almost bone-breaking. The limousine tumbled and spun fast and out of control. It only stopped when they collided with a traffic light. Validar, Orton and Robin groaned as they tried to get their bearings straight.
"Nah, seriously…What the literal FUCK was that?" Orton asked again. Validar noticed his head was bleeding.
"Orton * Cough* hand me my fucking gun. Give Robin one too." Validar ordered. Through the shattered glass, Robin began to hear the crunching of footsteps on broken window. He saw feet at his window. A woman in black motorcycle gear kneeled down and began to pull Robin from the wreckage. Upon further inspection, he came to the conclusion that this was the same cyclist he saw when he got to the hotel.
The cyclist helped Robin stand up and brushed the dirt off of him. She stopped brushing and pushed Robin away from herself as a manhole cover was lodged into the limo door between them. They both looked from the direction it came from. The armored machine stood still, as if assessing a situation. The cyclist spoke. "Help the senator and his bodyguard, we will take care of the Knight."
'We?' Robin thought to himself. He ran around to the other side of the limo and began to pull Orton and Validar out of the vehicle. Orton handed Validar a .44 Magnum and handed Robin a peashooter. Robin let out a defeated sigh.
"Hey, it's stronger than it looks. Now let's get the senator to safety." Robin nodded. They ran into the nearest store on the strip and bunkered down.
"It should be safe here, stay while I go help her." Robin then left to help the woman in black.
"Heh, always eager to help those who don't need it… just like his mother." Validar chuckled.
The cyclist began to sprint towards the machine as it raised its hands to smash her to the ground. Her boots let out a small sonic burst to increase her speed as she slid in between its legs. She quickly turned around and used her left boot to increase her jumping height as she placed an explosive on its domed head. She landed on her feet in front of the behemoth and jumped back, avoiding a downward strike that could have crushed her with ease. She placed her two fingers on the side of her helmet. "Grace, shoot it now!"
"You got it, T!" Robin watched as a woman from atop of the building behind the cyclist fired a sniper round from her wrist with perfect precision. The explosive erupted in a ball of fire. The machine was destroyed.
Robin jogged up to the cyclist. "Thanks for saving our asses, I owe you one. Heh." The cyclist shook her head.
"No, we are even." She responded.
"I don't get it." Robin said, confused. The cyclist lowered her head to take off her helmet. She shook her head to get the sweat out of her eyes. She then lifted her head so he could see her face.
"Robin..." Her black hair shined in the sunlight. Robin stood stunned and speechless. "Well, are you going say something or are you going just stare like an idiot?"
Robin pulled her in for a tight and emotional hug. "I've missed you… Tharja."
