"Ugh, my head." Hope said as he got up from a bed. "Oh. The ice tribe village, I made it!"
"Wrong. We made it." Arthur said. "You passed out after we crossed the river."
"Did Corrin... beat me, or is he.."
"Some weird creature found him and turned him around, almost as if his luck changed to Arthur's." Elise said. "Oh look, here he is now!"
A yo-kai then floated in. "Buhu? Did you…" Hope asked.
"I saw you get kidnapped and felt useless. I figured this was a good way to make things up to you. Boohoohoo." Buhu said.
"Dont cry, I'm lucky to have you. Well, lucky for Corrin's case, but still…" Hope said.
"I get it. You don't want me around because you're afraid I might inspirit one of you." Buhu said.
"Oh no, even bad luck can be turned around. Hey, when you see people you inspirit, do their bad lucks lead them somewhere else?" Hope asked.
"Well, sometimes whenever they want to get somewhere. Its pretty common for any traveler I inspirit." Buhu said.
"Then you did me a favor. I'm happy to have you with me." Hope said.
"Youre... happy? I cant believe it! I crying tears of joy!" Buhu said crying. "Thank you so much."
Hope smiled. "Now let's meet with the Chief. Elise, you need to stay outta sight. These guys dont like Nohrians here."
"I'm understand. I was warned about that before coming out here." Elise said as Hope left the tent.
He soon entered a larger tent where a man sat before him. "I am Klima, sorcerer and chieftain of the Ice Tribe. And you are the one known as Hope, the one who is the latest son of the Nohrian kingdom. We do not welcome you here."
"Listen, I'm not with Nohr, well I am but…" Hope said. "Think, think! What would jexi say? He's the better diplomat!" He thought. "Got it!"
"Well, do you speak or has the cat got your tongue?" Kilma said.
Hope then spoke. "Listen. The Nohrians mean you no harm. I'm convinced that King Garon had Gone mad with power." Hope said.
"Gone mad is an understatement. He's been stripping away our lands for years. It's the only reason we attack Nohr." Kilma said.
"Well, have you thought that anyone else is behind it? For example… the Spirit of the Fell Dragon Anakanos?"
"Anakanos is but a story. There is no actual proof he actually exists." Kilma said.
"Look, you can attack me, even kill me, but that won't solve anything. If you cease all attacks on Nohr, I promise you will get all your stolen land back as soon as the war is over. I promise." Hope said.
"Hmm. Very well. We will cease our attacks, but if you do not make good on this promise, the next war Nohr will fight will be with the Ice Tribe." Kilma said.
A large Ice Robot then crashed on the outskirts of the village.
"People of the Ice Tribe, I am Frost Man. I have come with news from Nohr. It appears that the youngest daughter of the king is in our humble village." He said as the tribesman talked among themselves. "Now, here's what we should do. Take the girl hostage and offer her to Garon in exchange for your land back. What do ya say?"
The tribesman cheered as they began searching all over.
"Yeah! Go and find her!" Frost Man said.
"Shade Man, you lying…" Hope said only seeing the large ice robot.
"You talking about Master Shade Man? He ain't here, blue boy. Only me." Frost Man said. "It's useless, all of the Icelanders have fallen for that ruse."
"Not all of them." Kilma said. "My people are ravaged by years of war and attacks from Nohr. They will not fall for such a simple trick."
"What do ya call that?" Frost Man said pointing to a few villagers attacking a house.
"We must turn them somehow. If only the spirits of the Watch Wearer were here." Kilma said.
"One of them is here." Said a voice as several snake like creatures attacked the villagers. Frost Man shook in fear as Venoct walked out of the woods. "You look scared. Do robots get scared?" Venoct asked as he approached Frost Man as the robot kept taking steps back.
"Buhu, can you fuse with Venoct? I have an Idea."
"No. Venoct's already the strongest form he his. An S rank Yo-kai." Buhu said.
"I came here on request of someone. And it is requested I take down the one responsible." Venoct said as the dragons around his neck hissed. "Octo Snake." Venoct said as the dragons began tearing apart Frost Man bit by bit, leaving nothing by scrap metal.
Hope then flashed his ring and an orb of data appeared. "It;s a new trick. Now I can send Weapon Data to Rock. This is the Ice Wave weapon." Hope said launching it up into the sky.
"You were fortunate that he called me here." Venoct said to Hope.
"Nate. Tell him -" Hope began.
"I'm afraid it was not that user of the watch. I was called here...by a legend." Venoct said before running into the woods.
"Now for the other villagers. Apprehend them, but dont harm them." Kilma said.
"We shall help with that!" Said a familiar voice as two men walked onto the tundra.
"That hand motion… that voice… Owain? Is that you?"Hope asked.
"Yes! We are on a journey of self discovery when we heard of a dispute in the Ice Tribe!" Owain said. "But I am no longer called by that name. I am now Odin, retainer to Master Leo. I am a Dark Mage now, as well."
"I'm Leo's other retainer. My name is Niles, an outlaw under his rule." Niles said.
"Wait, if Owain… I-I mean… Odin, is here, then are the others…" Hope began.
"Yes. Along with me, there is also Severa and Inigo." Odin said. "They changed their names, too. They are known as Selena and Laslow now."
"I find it amazing that three warriors of the Outrealms could make it here. Now, what do you need us to do?" Niles said.
"These villagers have been driven to madness by war and fake promises. They need to be detained until they regain their sanity." Hope said.
"Understood. Lord Kilma, I have called the others. We shall show you that Nohr can show mercy." Odin said.
"Actually, I've already worked things out with the chief." Hope said.
"Then show me your conviction to hold your word." Odin said.
"I intend to. Chief, I promise you we will get your land back." Hope said bowing before him.
He then paired up with Odin and Niles and Met up with the others.
"Okay, Elise, they're looking for you so stay back. Odin and Niles, cover the front from afar, Arthur and Effie, cover the rear from attacks from behind. Now engage in battle!" Hope said as the group engaged the rampaging Ice Tribe.
The plan worked, and all the Villagers were detained.
"Nice planning, Hope." Elise said.
"I learned from the best. A certain yellow-haired tactician." Hope said. "One question, how are we gonna get Garon to be convinced I did this all on my own?"
"We'll deny our involvement with this operation so you can take all the credit." Odin said.
"And Hope, I think youre on to something with father. As your little sister, you've got my full support." Elise said.
Outside the fort, Corrin smiled.
"Clever guy, having a Yo-kai assist him like that without actually having to summon them." Corrin said. "Keep making good on your word Hope. As for me, its time I head out to Valla and if I'm lucky, you'll be heading there someday as well."
