"We should be safe at the East Palace. Philia's knights guard its border." Chrom said.
"I agree. I'd rather not run into an invasion force on the way to Regna Ferox." Ramona said.
"But do we really have to walk all the way there? My feet have blisters the size of eggs!" Lissa groaned.
"Too much info, Lady Lissa." Simon said.
"It's not so bad once you get used to it Lissa. Just a healthy stroll up the mountainside." Hope said.
"Huh?" Medusa said as she turned her head to the mountains.
"Something wrong, Medusa?" Hope asked.
"I thought I heard crying." Medusa said.
"Yeah...and...I smell smoke." Jexi said. "And something else….we're being surrounded!" he said as bandits started marching out.
"Hah! Gotcha trapped like rats in a canyon!" a plegian commander said.
"Plegian soldiers!" Ichiro said.
"And that's 'mice in a cage'." David said.
"Shots fired!" Kagura said.
"No matter. Your insults don't matter once we splatter you all across the canyon floor! Attack!" the commander said.
"Uh sir, we're still having problems with that other traveler." one of the soldiers said as flames erupted in the rear.
"What?! He's just one guy!" the commander said.
"No he's not. I know those flames anywhere." Hope said.
"You guys are a bunch of idiots." a voice said sending them flying. "You can't handle the inferno."
"Blazer." Jexi said.
"Your brother?" Ace asked.
"Yep...that's him." Jexi said.
"Well...I wasn't expecting you of all people. How ya been, little brother?" Blazer said.
"Just fine." Jexi said.
"Never expected to see you here." Kokoro said.
"Oh yeah… Last time we were in a redux with this guy, he was flirting with you." Ramona said.
"Hmm...was I?" Blazer said as several soldiers were coming at them. "Flare Storm!" he said firing a barrage of flames at them.
"He's as strong as Cinder, maybe even more powerful." Fefnir said.
"Why are you even here?" Jexi asked.
"Beats me. I was just enjoying myself on a walk when these guys decided to try and capture me. So I do what we always do...fight back." Blazer said.
"Same old Blazer. Past or present." Hope said to himself. "Still...think we should give you guys a hand."
"Especially since they've got them!" Gemini said as Wyvern riders appeared.
"Wyvern Riders!" Reflet said. "We'll need our best archers to take them down."
(Cue-Awakening- Persona 5)
At this, Ramona heard a voice in her head.
"I sense a strong desire of love for your comrades."
"Huh? This is...the same as with Scott back in Regna Ferox." Ramona said.
"Tell me, will you use my power to help protect the people you love?"
"Yes. I will. I'll do anything to protect them!" Ramona said.
"Let us finalize this contract, I am thou, thou art I, may the winds and light aid those you care about."
Descending towards Ramona was a tarot card similar to Scott's, but this one had two figures holding hands as a giant heart with wings floated above them as it had the roman numeral VI.
"Here we go." Ramona said pulling her hammer out. "Come forth...Isis!"
Just then a female humanoid shaped monolith with a woman's face with a minotaurs face under it appeared above her with wings attached to it as it had a red gem floating in between the horns of the minotaur.
"Is that...a Persona?" Scott asked.
"Let's see what we can do. Magarudyne!" Ramona shouted as guests of wind were fired at the Wyvern Riders.
"First Scott, now Ramona. Seems those two are becoming stronger every day." Joker said.
"Now there are four Persona Users that have the SEES Personas." Ace said. "Athena, Artemisia, Caesar, and finally Isis." he said as he ended up getting hit. "Gah! I really need to stop monologing these kinds of things."
"Are you alright?" Ramona asked. "Dia!" She called as she heals Ace's wound.
"Thanks, can't believe I let my guard down. Victory Terror!" Ace called summoning Drevas in its throwing knife form as he jumped overhead and rained them down on a few Plegians. "Earth Glaive!" he called causing a stone pillar to erupt.
"More Wyverns incoming!" Hope said.
"Begone!" a voice cried as a woman with red hair on a pegasus pierced through some of them.
"Cordelia?" Sumia said.
"I made it in time, Sumia." Cordelia sighed.
"Wait if you're here then...oh gods." Emmeryn said.
"Yes. The border has fallen to Plegia." Cordelia said.
"Then those cries were...no." Medusa said.
"Wait… you can understand Pegasi, Medusa?" Erica asked.
"Due to my connection with Bellerophon, I can feel a Pegasi's emotions no matter the distance on a world." Medusa said before taking her blindfold off as her eyes glowed red. "Now they have the gall to harm innocent creatures? I will not allow it any further!" she said turning to another group as she turned them to stone.
"Remind me never to piss Medusa off, Mark." Hope said.
"Noted." Mark said.
"Silence! Kill them!" the commander ordered. "Kill them…" he said before a hand grabbed his face.
"You know...I let a lot of stuff pass but harming innocent people and animals...that stuff doesn't sit well with me." Blazer said. "Flame Grip!" he said as the commander's body ignited into flames before he fell roasted and charred.
"Allow me to finish the rest." Medusa said as magic started gathering around her before the cry of a pegasus was heard. "Prepare yourself." she said as she whipped Bellerophon's reins before she took the sky and came diving down with the speed of a shooting star. "Bellerophon!" she called piercing through, causing an explosion to occur around the remaining plegians.
"That takes care of that." Erica said.
"The souls of the fallen pegasus and their riders have been avenged." Medusa said putting her blindfold back on as she turned to Cordelia and bowed her head. "May your comrades now rest peacefully, Cordelia."
"Thank you, but we mustn't rest. More Plegian forces are a half a day behind me." Cordelia said.
"It's not safe here. We gotta lose them." Hope said.
"You must go. I'm afraid I must remain with my people." Emmeryn said.
"Are you sure? If you get caught, it's game over." ZS said.
"Which is why I'm entrusting you with this." Emmeryn said giving Chrom a small shield.
"The Fire Emblem…? Emm, are you sure?" Chrom asked.
"I am entrusting this to you to protect now." Emmeryn said.
"Okay. In that case, stay safe, Exalt." Mark said. "We have to go, I can sense more coming."
"Damn it." Reflet muttered.
"It'll be okay, Reflet. Trust me." Hope whispered.
"Bout time I went off too." Blazer said. "I've spent enough time here."
"Safe travels, Blazer." Hope said.
"Yeah...see ya." Blazer said.
"Hey...think I'm strong enough to beat you? If we fought?" Jexi asked.
"Hmm...Nope. Not by a longshot." Blazer laughed as he left.
"Wow. What an honest guy." Emo said sarcastically.
"You'll get there eventually Jexi. One day I know you'll be a match for Blazer." Hope assured.
"Yeah. One day...we'll fight again, my brothers and I. And then...I'll win one battle against them for sure." Jexi said.
