Fire Emblem Heroes: Apocrypha
Chapter FINAL: Apocrypha
6/22/2018 Seiten-Taisei Temple, Minami, Miura, Japan Evening - Clear Sky
Five days has passed and the Dragon has continued to wreak havoc around the Kanagawa Prefecture, most of the cities were burned to ashes and humanity is struggling to survive. However, the civilian's lives were claimed by the Dragon. The JSDF couldn't do anything but to keep on fighting to get themselves killed. Thus, the civilization is dying sooner or later. Except in the city of Miura… Ikaruga and Noxa are now gone due to the war and corruption. Minami, Karibuchi, Yukimura, and Miura were the only left surviving.
However, at the temple… the blue portal opens up done by Kome's dragon vein ability as Iwai and Cecilia were seen coming out of it as he stretches.
"There… I hope that does it. Though, I still feel the same." Iwai said to himself and looked at Cecilia. "Don't you think, Cecilia-san?"
"Unfortunately yes. Going to this… Deeprealms… is rather interesting." Cecilia responded as Iwai chuckles.
"No need to worry about. I'm just glad… you know?" Iwai relied as the rest of his allies of the Resistance looks at him.
"Hey, are you done visiting the deeprealms?" Corrin asked. "I assume Cecilia managed to have a child with you now."
"Yeah, we're done. Hey, maybe Kana would grow into a fine woman someday." Iwai looked at Kana and pets her.
"I really want to become one but I can still turn into a dragon, Uncle Iwai.~" Kana added as she giggles at him.
"Heh. Though, Camilla-san. She does have the same hair color like yours." Iwai said to her as she nods.
"Of course, Kana here is our pride after all." Camilla responded with a smile on her face.
"Woo-hoo… I can't wait to shoot down a dragon." Setsuna said as she yawns as Lachesis smiles.
"I'm kinda afraid but we're going to do this together. Right, Brother?" Lachesis said to him.
"Of course, Lord Iwai." Eldigan continues. "It has been a long road for us. Therefore, we will continue fighting for you."
"I'm just excited as you are, Lord Iwai. But hey, I'm still happy as always!" Mae said as she crossed her arms and smiles.
"Lord Iwai, the battle will reach it's climax. Therefore, we must prepare." Jotaro added as he spoke from the shadows.
"Iwai-san. Ever since I met you… you were brave. So… I want to become brave as well! With my Ichaival, I'll keep on fighting for you in the skies. With Caeda-san, Cordelia-san, Catria-san, Hinoka-san, Eirika-san, and Ephraim-san… They're all friends to me!" Tsubasa said as Cordelia nods.
"I agree. When I first met Kome. I was confused of being called Caeldori. I didn't even know who it is." Cordelia said as she chuckles. "But hey, thanks for looking over Tsubasa. She is our lord after all."
"But with all of us together, we can do this and fight this dragon. So, let's do our best!" Caeda said with a kind smile as he looked at everyone.
"Guys… thank you… I couldn't done it with you, guys. I mean… We've gone this far and we're all still surviving." Iwai continued. "Chris-san… How long we were out?"
"It's been five days. The dragon is still targeting major cities. Yokohama remained untouched but I can tell the dragon is there, preparing to kill the civilians once again. I can't believe this is happening." Chris said as Iwai smiles.
"There's no need to fear. But, Kome-san. Thank you for opening to the portal to the Deeprealms. Our child is kept safe in here. I'm curious. How can a child grow so fast…" Iwai asked her as he thinked about it.
"Time in the Deeprealms is not synchronized with other worlds. Depending on which you go to, it works in different ways." Kome replied to Iwai about as he understands.
"Oooooooh, I see now. Were you also raised in the Deeprealms as well?" Iwai added.
"No, I was raised in my own kingdom. However, I have heard that the spear wielding king and queen of an age past were raised in the Deeprealms." Kome responded as Iwai nodded and stretches his arms.
"Right. Noted. So, I guess that explains about it. However, time is running short. I have my Fire Emblem ready to destroy the dragon and the skywall. Everything will end in a right way as possible." Iwai grabbed out his Fire Emblem as he prepared himself for the worst.
"I'm with you, Iwai-san." Takuma continued. "Hikari-nee is shy about this but she's pretty prepared."
"H-Hai! P-Please make good use of me!" Hikari then bowed as Iwai smiled.
"No worries. Now, it's time." Iwai was about to continue until someone approached to him.
"Before you go, you'll need someone like me." The voice of Sadique comes into his temple just to meet him.
"Huh? Sadique-san? Why are you here?" Iwai asked her as she sighs with a smile.
"Fighting against the dragon without me around? I am going to come with, you know?" Sadique continued. "You know, the Dragon is surely growing and someone like us needs to stop them. Besides people are calling it the Dark Dragon because of how menacing the aura is."
"Dark… Dragon?" Iwai asked as she nods.
"Yuppers. I was at Yokohama to enjoy my life in the sky walls until the Dragon came and killed them all. It was a sad moment that my vacation was ruined. I couldn't manage to kill the dragon with that scale of it. It's hard as diamonds and it ended up breaking my sword completely.
"It's really that tough, huh... Looks like it'll be hard to take down. Hopefully we'll be able to manage." Kome asked her as Sadique sarcastically shrugs.
"Who knows. The JSDF couldn't do anything but left to die. Right now, I remember that the Dark Dragon also created a nest on that tall building. I don't know what's it doing, though." Sadique said as Iwai becomes curious about it.
"A nest you say? Hmph. I wonder why…" Iwai thinked as Sadique continued.
"Anyways, time is running short. You should head to Yokohama right away or else things will go definitely bad." Sadique said to Iwai as he looked at her.
"Yeah… Let's get going." Iwai replied as he commands his Resistance to head out the temple. Chris knew he had to give him a good luck.
6/22/2018 Yokohama, Japan Midnight - Clear Sky
*Danganronpa V3 OST- Beautiful Lie
Then… sometime later at the Yokohama Landmark Tower where the Dark Dragon were seen resting on the top of the building as everyone arrives where the Invisible Soldiers were seen heavily guarding the tower… However, Iwai conjured the glow from the Fire Emblem as he swung his blade to wipe out the remaining Invisible Soldiers as they all stood there to look at the top of the tower with the Dark Dragon resting on the top of it.
"It's too late… the Dark Dragon has already made it's tower a home… This will be a problem." Iwai said as Kome looked up into the sky.
"We can't give up now. We'll just have to figure out a way to deal with this..."
"Yeah… but damn… Why does it always happen. I wish I had a Flugel that will serve me to destroy that dragon… Then again… No Game, No Life." Iwai continued in his mind. "Heh… If I were to summon Jibril as my Servant… Gah! She's just fictional!"
"This is sure going to be a long climb to the top, Iwai. Besides, it's not going to be that easy to defeat it. There's a chance that your winning outcome will be pretty slim." Sadique said as she awed of the night sky.
"You can say that. Anyways, we need to go… now!" Iwai told everyone as they all headed to the top of the tower…
-[Yokohama Landmark Tower | Highest Area]-
*Danganronpa V3 OST - Despair Searching
Just as they arrive to the top of the tower… everyone suddenly arrived to see the dragon resting on its new nest. Kome saw of how giant this dragon is.
"It's so big… We have to fight that thing…?" Kome awed of this encounter of the dragon's size.
"H-Holy shit! T-That is big dragon… We're so not ready for that!" Takuma exclaimed as he was a bit frightened of this beast.
"So… this will be finally the final battle which we will all stand against… one sinister enemy." Jotaro menacingly said and looked at the dragon.
"True. I have a new sword this time. I might break again…" Sadique looked at Anna. "Hey, redhead. You have more weapons for me?"
"Y-Yes! And don't call me redhead! That's kinda offensive, y'know?" Anna retorted at her as Sadique shrugged.
"Meh. Just shut up and make it count." Sadique said as Iwai looked at it.
"Everyone… Let's not give up to despair. We still need to hold on out hopes!" Iwai said to everyone.
*Persona 5 OST- Jaldabaoth
Just then, the dragon starts to wake up and looked at Iwai holding the sword. However, that dragon recognizes the sword as it started to roar. Causing the dragon to flap its wings to leave the nest as it was hovering above them.
"Oh crap… It's coming!" Takuma warned as the Dragon starts to breathe fire as Iwai reacted quickly to cut the breathing fire in half as it disperses.
"Don't give up yet… It's going to throw us much harder!" Iwai continued. "Kome-san! Distraction!"
Kome nodded as she flew up into the sky as she proceeds to attack the Dragon with flame shurikens everywhere while Sakura, Setsuna, and Hikari were shooting arrows at the Dragon as well. But the end results. It could not leave a dent to the Dragon's scale at all. Cecilia were seen casting spells along with Mae as they used their own respective elements of wind and fire but only manage to hit the Dragon as Iwai watched.
"Damn… It's not taking damage. Sadique-san, you know I'm holding the Fire Emblem right here. Is there anything I can do? How do I slay this dragon along with the wall? If the Dragon continues to breathe fire at us, we'll die in a instant!" Iwai said as Tsubasa's pegasus allies were seen helping Kome as well to distract the Dragon long enough.
"Hmm… Remember of how the Fire Emblem works? The voice from the sky once said that only people who have a clean heart who are worthy to wield it and can even increase it's power. So it's possible." Sadique thinked as Iwai continued.
"Then… how do I increase this sword's power?" Iwai asked her.
"Well then… Gather everyone to come back. And then… you know, ask everyone for their powers to destroy the dragon and the wall. Does that sound fitting?" Sadique suggested about it. "Don't worry, I still support you.~"
"Thanks, Sadique-san." Iwai smiled and looked at the battle. "Everyone! Group up with me! I have a plan!"
Kome and Tsubasa's pegasus allies came back as they heard as well as the Resistance as well. Iwai knew this would happen as he takes a deep breath.
"I… I think I know the way to beat that dragon for good. Just hear me out." Iwai continued. "I need to borrow all of your powers by using my Fire Emblem. I'm sure that Sadique-san, Takuma-san, Hikari-chan, Tsubasa-chan, and Jotaro-san doesn't count. But still! I need to borrow your guy's power into the Fire Emblem! So that way, the sword can grow more power that will be capable enough to defeat it. However… if I defeat the dragon without the power, the damage will be raw and there's nothing to do about it! So, I'm asking all of you of the Resistance… Please! Lend me your power!"
"I agree with Iwai-san. Power can sometimes be corrupted. But hey, you're using it for good! Still, everyone. What are you waiting for!? Give them your energy or something so he can end it!" Takuma asked them as he was serious at that time.
"T-Takuma… There's no need to yell…" Hikari was afraid for her younger brother as he shook his head.
"No, I'm not. I'm encouraging them to give their powers to Iwai-san. Don't you understand of what situation we're in!? The dragon will kill us if we don't support him! We have to do something!" Takuma exclaimed as Hikari looked around as the Resistance couldn't find a way to defeat the giant dragon. Hikari understands the situation they're in.
"There is no choice. He must help Iwai-san to achieve what he wanted. If we don't act now. This battle will be lost and there is nothing we cannot save." Jotaro included as Hikari looked at him. "Therefore, I shall support Iwai-sama in hopes to fight against the dreadful beast."
"I agree as well." Tsubasa continued. "We maybe in a verge of losing but a great counter is to give the Fire Emblem of the allies' power."
"Indeed… The fate will turn the tables once the final battle reached towards the conclusion." Azura said as she continued to look at the dragon.
Kome then approached to Iwai after hearing of what he had to say about borrowing everyone's power by using the Fire Emblem.
"Let's all hope this works." Kome said as Iwai nods.
"Trust me, Kome-san. I have a plan." Iwai then got on the back of her pegasus while holding the Fire Emblem. "So please, everyone! I need your power! We'll say this dragon and the skywall. Thus, we need to push forward. Which is why, everyone… We'll forge our own new future! For the fate of humanity!"
Iwai raised his sword up into the sky where it was pointed by the tip. The Resistance's allies started to close their eyes as the glowing orb of light appears out of their chest as it was quickly absorbed by the Fire Emblem. Just as gathered enough glowing orbs from the allies. The sword quickly glows more as the beam shifts into a longer blade and a bit wide enough to defeat the Dark Dragon for good. Iwai was shocked to see of how the sword is now as he held tightly.
"This is it… The Fire Emblem is powered up. Kome-san… Let's finish this…" Iwai told her as the pegasus hovered up as the two met to face the Dark Dragon. "This time, you're finished!"
Iwai was ready to swing down the sword as the Dragon noticed that it was coming down slowly but fast. So, the Dragon uses its fire breath to kill them. However, the Fire Emblem started to cut the fire in half as it kept coming down until the giant glowing blade makes contact to the Dragon's head as light sparks were going everywhere as Iwai was using his might to cut the dragon in half.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Iwai yelled as he pushed the sword down more causing the blade to cut through the Dragon until it hits the wall as it was cut in half as well.
The glow of it's blade disappears. For a few seconds… The Dragon roared as the cut from the glow starts to emit brightly as it roared across the Kanagawa Prefecture. Suddenly, the Dragon started to become succumb by the light as it was consumed by it. Causing a bright explosion as it died off… Then, the Skywall starts to leave a crack as the trail was racing towards the end of the cracked wall. For a few seconds… the skywall shatters from this sight as the fragments of the wall starts to fall down like snowflakes during this night. Kome then hovers down with her pegasus to meet up with his allies as Iwai got off. Suddenly, the Fire Emblem starts to disappear right from his hand. Along with his mark on his back hand as well.
"Kome-san… My mark… it's gone. But… we've won. And the wall is gone!" Iwai said as he looked up into the night sky.
"So it's finally over..." Kome said as she looked at the allies glowing.
"And, huh? Everyone? Cecilia-san… You're glowing but Kome-san is not… What's going on." Iwai noticed to see His, Jotaro, and Tsubasa's allies were glowing as they were slowly fading away in golden particles.
"Don't worry, Iwai…" Cecilia smiled. "Our pact here ends. Your wish has been fulfilled. The skywall has been destroyed."
"Therefore, you have gave everyone freedom in this new world. It was a great journey with you. I will not forget this." Corrin said.
"Uncle Iwai! It was fun! We can meet again!~" Kana waved at him as Camilla smiles.
"I've never felt so happy in my life of how far we've come. Again, thank you." Camilla said with a smile as they kept fading away. Iwai starts to have tears from his eyes as he felt emotional.
"E-Everyone… T-Thank you!" Iwai started to cry and sniff a bit as Cecilia chuckles.
"There's no need to cry. We'll all still remember you. Even if we die, we'll always watch other you." Cecilia continued. "I wanted to say one thing… I love you…"
"I… I love you, too!" Iwai said as everyone has completely faded away except Kome and Anna.
"H-Huh!? How come I didn't fade away! Does that mean… I'm from this world or something!?"
"Maybe Anna arrived in a different way from the others, as I did." Kome thinked about as Takuma agreed.
"Yeah, something seems off about you, Anna-san." Takuma continued and approached her. "Is your memories… jumbled up?"
"W-Wha? N-No! It's not! It's just that… Umm… I guess… I can try living in this world but I'm still new to it!" Anna said as Takuma sweatdrops.
"Say, Kome-san. What will you do now since this is over…" Iwai said asked her as she thinked.
"I must return to my own world. As the crown princess, I have duties I must fulfill, and I've spent a lot of time away already." Kome said as she was ready to open the portal with her powers while she was on her pegasus.
"Wait, Kome-san! Before you go… There is one more request…" Iwai said to her. "I want to see my daughter again and bring her here."
"Alright, I can open the entry to the deeprealms for you." Kome
And so, Iwai and Kome looked at each other upon this fate as the night starts to turn into morning as the sun starts to slowly rise up… Iwai already knew… that half of the civilization in the Kanagawa Prefecture is dead… However, Iwai, Jotaro, Tsubasa, Hikari, and Sadique were remained as the survivors of this incident...
[TWO YEARS LATER…]
2/12/2020 Tokyo, Japan Daytime - Clear Sky
Two years later… Two years has been passed ever since the incident. Everyone had to go back to their normal lives as usual. Everyone had to live in this current, normal, modern society. People were seen walking on sidewalks filled with busy people, cars driving on the road, and planes were seen flying through the skies. Since it was to years… No one can't remember the Kanagawa Skywal Incident anymore. Perhaps they've forgot about it. Except for Iwai, who was the survivor of that incident. His allies were gone, back from where they were. Especially Cecilia. However, Iwai was later married to Kazumi Mitsuzane after being reunited with each other. Tsubasa returned to Miura in order for the community to rebuild after what had the Dark Dragon had done. Jotaro went back to the mountains in the Tochigi Prefecture in order to train himself into a better ninja. Takuma and Hikari carried on their normal lives in Sasebo to meet their parents once again. And Anna? She goes by the name of Anna Fujikage and took a part-time job at a local market in Tokyo.
And now today, Iwai is currently jobless except he now has his own "family". He continued to live on his normal life as he continues to be. He wonders if everything will be fine. He lost his mark, therefore losing his Carnage Weapon as well. What was left for him is to continue moving on.
"Hmm? Something wrong, dear?" Kazumi asked him as he noticed.
"Oh, no… It's… nothing…" Iwai said as Kazumi was a little concerned.
"Ahh, It's okay. If you have problems. You can talk to me." Kazumi replied as she smiled as he sighed.
"I'm… I'm good. Say, did you get a job from Fortuna Entertainment yet?" Iwai asked her as she thinked.
"Not that I know of. I'm planning to but I think I'm not ready. I'd rather spend more time with you.~" Kazumi teased him a bit as he sighed off with a smile.
"Hey, c'mon now." Iwai continued. "We have a child here, y'know? Besides, it's been two years since we're married and I still care about you. Even during the time I first met you in high school. Heck, you were embarrassed of meeting me because of my pretty face."
"I still remember that! I just can't resist of how handsome you are until as of you today… you look different now." Kazumi said as Iwai chuckled.
"I'm still the same. Speaking of which." He noticed to see the a particular bakery store as he and Kazumi arrives there to see a elegant cake. "I wonder if this is fine."
"Hmm… I'm not sure about it. It's not her birthday yet, right?" Kazumi said as Iwai smiled.
"I think we can celebrate it a little early. It wouldn't hurt to buy a small cake." Iwai continued. "So, what do you want, Konoe?"
Then, the view shifts down to look at a young little girl, the child of Iwai and Cecilia with long green hair and green eyes and a cute face wearing a children's modern clothing as she had a curious look as she blinked her eye once… Then, it abruptly went black as it was left with one response.
"A small cake, Oto-san!~"
