Mysteries of the worlds are no closer to being solved than yesterday.

*Chapter 6*
/Ylisstol Grand Hall/
"Greetings. Welcome to the House of Ylisse. I hope your stay will be comfortable."
"Shall we discuss about my little sister's memory?"
/Ylisstol Castle Meeting Room/
Fred briefed all regarding the situation.
"Investigators have been analyzing the scene with no leads. Her injuries were definitely sword based. Probably the assailant thought she was dead ... All we can focus on right now is to help her recover her memory."
As all in attendance pondered about this, Naga materialized.
"Greetings Awakener. I am here to expand on what I have discovered."
"Please enlighten us. We've been at a dead end."
"There are three mysteries that I've discovered. First, Stella's existence, in normal terms, is close to a paradox, an aberration; however, your bonds saved her. The second mystery is that of the assailant."
Naga shows all a picture - it was masked Marth or as everybody knew, Lucina?
"This ... Another Lucina is very intent in killing Stella. However, she
doesn't seem to be from any immediate futures, past or present."
"Let's start ... The older Lucina with us shall be called Original Lucina. Krom's kid shall be Young Lucina. So Original Lucina history's Stella had perished and the children failed to kill Grima, as they lost a gemstone. This realm's Stella finished off Grima. We went to "The Future's Past", Krom died but we intervened and was able to get that Alternate Lucina to put Grima to sleep..."
That experience was sad. Krom had wished to know what was the ending to that world's story, but was then interrupted with a thought by Valhart.
"The Outrealm Gate has been out of order lately, but apparently it opens to a rather peculiar realm. I don't know if you would be interested, but there were some rumors from there that might be related to this Another Imposter's origin."
"If it brings us to a lead, let's do it."
/The Outrealm Gate/
Anna was trying to fix the lock but what was befuddling her was that the
mechanisms were fine yet the gate was not operating correctly. The three
alliance army had just arrived and was welcomed by Anna.
"My regular customer, Val kun? Welcome. I am sorry to inform you, the
gate is still out of order. However, that realm is still connected."
"Thank you. We'll be back in a bit. Ciao."
The army was rather bewildered ... Valhart said "Ciao".
/Unknown Realm/
"Who...are you?"
No way...
With its imposing stature, Grima towers over the group.
"Why is Grima here?" Everyone went to battle mode.
Grima's voice thundered through their minds: "You are allies to that
human girl, aren't you? The human who killed my kind by the same
treacherous blade that is in your possession."
The group looked around and saw dragons soaring through the skies.
"I think I know now what realm this is ... The Realm of the Dragons."
Just when everybody was going to panic, a peculiar Old Hubba appeared on a ice dragon, who turned into a guy after landing.
"Hold it! Lovely, gorgeous … uhhh … dashing Grima. Nils please explain it to them."
Old Hubba brings out a remote control … and freezes Grima.
Focusing on the group, the blue hair dragonkin explains:
"An odd human arrived some years ago and started slaughtering dragons
with a wyrmslayer. Dragons fled to different realms. You are here before
Grima flees to your realm. Naga had fled earlier but as Grima left,"
Hubba interrupts with:"the dashing, speedy, young hero went after it ... Anywhose, are you in cohesion with that individual?"
"This isn't making sense. Is this Another Lucina the same one that is
with us now? If Original Lucina goes back
to rewrite history and successfully accomplishes it but then went back
further in history with the intent of killing Grima, and apparently is
the cause of dragons existing in our world, fails. Then she comes back chasing Grima and arrives in our time targeting Stella again but with full knowledge that Grima is gone. However, is still targeting her with the same intention of destroying Stella because of Grima?"
"That doesn't connect ... they can't be the same. This change of heart ... it seems more likely that she is a separate Lucina from the one who was with us."
"Krom, we need to find this Another daughter of yours. She is causing a mess within a mess."
"About Original Lucina's Falchion, wasn't it more of a bust? Only Krom's
Exalted Falchion has enough power for such large dragons ..."
"Hey! Old Hubba, what colour was the sword?"
"Like yours with the teal orb, but the blade itself was abnormal."
"Abnormal?"
"Like it existed but didn't exist at the same time ... That didn't make any sense. I ... am just confused as well."
As the guys pondered, Flavia decided to ask: "By the way, how do we
leave? Grima still has its gaping maw over Hubba's head."
"Oh yes. Here is the special wrench to fix your Outrealm Gate. Please
don't ever try coming back here again."
Krom took the wrench and scooted everyone out.
CHOMP!
