Subchapter7: Alderoffe's five

Firedude: Ok here's the next chapter everyone!

Wolf form the hidden flames: You should be able to expect them to meet in a few chapters.

Magebear: Thank you for the review. I know I'm not the best person at grammar too sorry.

FireemblemPRO: More of the main story characters are definitely going to be amassing in a chapter or two. The OC pairing thing was a downer to some people so I made love triangles, there will be some squares maybe even a pentagon!

Disclaimer: I don't own fire emblem nor it's characters. I only own Alderoffe, Shadow, Marco, Tarmag (Quill), Raul, Lily, Adam, Lucifer, and Nightmare. Tyrana, Mystic, and Kota belong to friends.

Firedude: On with the show!

A few hours after their meeting, Lyn lead the army to the Teruig stronghold. "Be on your guard. When I broke into this place it was well defended." They rammed open the door and pulled out their weapons. To their surprise there was no one there. Mark looked around the room carefully for traps. "Alright we won't split up for now. Everyone follow Lyn to the throne room!" Lyn took off down the hall with everyone following her. They ran down the same hallway for fifteen minutes. "When are we going to get there Lyn?" said a tired Tyrana. "I don't get it. When I went this way it took only a minute or two!" They suddenly stopped and looked around. Tyrana focused on her surroundings. "I think we went this way before…"

"Duh." Said an annoyed Rath. Mark looked around and saw nothing unusual. He then touched his forehead and shouted. "Third eye!" A purple circle had appeared on his forehead. Now as he looked around the room he saw a man in a purple cloak with matching hair casting a spell on them. Mark pulled out his Rex Hasta and stabbed at him. The man barely dodged out of the way and stopped the spell. The rest of the army now saw the man. The man looked over at Mark. "How did you see through my illusions?"

"People in my family have a jewel implanted in their head when they're young. This jewel allows you to see things that others can't like dreams, illusions, and even auras like Lyn's headband."

"Quite impressive. When I kill you I guess I'll have to crave that jewel out of your head for myself." Said the man with a sickening smile. "I'm Raul the illusionist. One of Alderoffe's personal five lieutenants. I was sent here to impede all of you." The army drew their weapon and prepared for battle. Mark raised his arm as a signal to stop them. "Leave him to me. The rest of you go ahead. Lyn is in charge while I'm here." They then ran off deeper into the stronghold leaving Mark with Raul. Raul smiled at the lone soldier in front of him. "What makes you think that you can beat me?" He jumped forward and attempted to kick Mark. He blocked it and punched Raul in the gut. He quickly recovered and pulled out a lance reaver. "You may have a Rex Hasta, but it's no use against this!" He lunged forward and stabbed at Mark. He dodged him and tripped Raul with his lance. Mark felt his cheek as blood began to trickle down the side of his face. How did he cut me? He wasn't even close to hitting me! Raul got up and slashed at Mark's chest. He clearly missed but a giant gash appeared on Mark's chest. Mark stumbled backward and clutched his chest. This is no illusion... it's real!

The army ran down the hall way until they came to a room marked Doll house. They opened the doors carefully and saw an empty room much like a rich noble's room. They walked inside and looked for a way to get to the next room, but no doors anywhere. Shadow ran up to Lyn. "There's no way out of this room, we'll have to double back." Just then they heard a girlish giggle. They looked towards the source and saw a little girl in a red dress with matching curly hair, sitting in a chair surrounded by ten foot tall teddy bears. Tyrana's eyes lit up. "I want one so bad!"

"Tyrana now really isn't the time." Said Rath as he cautiously approached the child. "Who are you to be in a place like this?" She giggled and smiled at Rath. "My name's Lily and I'm not alone. I have my friends." She waved her hand towards the teddy bears. "And mister Alderoffe comes and visits me sometimes, because I'm one of his personal lieutenants." She gave Rath a big smile and extended her hand to him. "Will you be my friend too?" Rath gave her his normal stare. "We're looking for a way out of here. Do you know of any?"

"Of course right over there." She pointed at a plain wall and the walls split open revealing another hallway. They walked towards the hallway but the door closed suddenly. "You just asked where the exit was. I never said that you can leave." Lily said with a huge grin. "If you want to leave then one of you will have to stay and play with me!"

"Fine I'll stay." Said an annoyed Rath. Lyn walked up behind Rath and whispered to his. "Are you sure about this? She serves Alderoffe so we don't know what kind of sick demented games she would like to play."

"Don't worry she is just a child." Lyn nodded and ran through the door with everyone else. The door shut behind them. Rath turned his full attention to Lily. "Now let's play together." She snapped her fingers and the teddy bears came to life. They all grew sharp claws and their teeth grew sharp and long making them look very demented. Rath pulled out his long bow and notched an arrow on it. "What kind of child are you to want to fight me for fun?" Said Rath in a nasty tone. "Alderoffe told me that this is playing, and that children play all the time." Rath took a few steps back from the approaching teddy bears. Alderoffe must be one sick individual to teach a child to fight when she is only at this age!

Lyn and co. had finally made it to the end of the hall way. A door towered over them that said Church. They went inside and saw that they were in a chapel. A man sat praying in front of a statue of Elimine. He became aware of their presents and stood up. "I'm thankful that you have come. My name is Adam and I'm the holy man of Alderoffe's five." The man wore a short sleeved white shirt with matching pants. His hair was white also and had an innocent look on his face. Kota stared hard at the Adam. "This one had two Ki energies. Two people should fight this one." Lyn nodded in agreement. "I trust that you and shadow can handle this?" They both nodded and began to walk towards the holy man as Lyn, Tyrana, and Marco left through the next hallway. "A wise decision to have two people fight against me. No matter how holy someone is they always have a bad side…" The man looked like he was in pain but then another man came out of his back. This man looked exactly the same except his clothes and hair were black. But he had an evil look on his face. "My name is Lucifer and I'm Adam's opposite half!" He let out an evil laugh. "I think it's about time that we went to work Adam!"

"Of course Lucifer." Bird wings shot out of Adam's back and a halo appeared on his head. As for Lucifer, Dragon's wings sprang out of his back and big ram like horns grew from his forehead. Kota pulled out his nunchaku and Shadow unsheathed his knife. Kota looked at their two opponents. "This may be harder than I thought…"

Lyn, Tyrana, and Marco ran through the hall at top speed. They finally came to the door at the end of the hall. The doors were marked Graveyard. They went inside and there was a large gate marked cemetery. Tombstones planted everyone along with skeletons and weapons stabbed into the ground. "This is what I imagined Shadow's house to look like!" Cried a scared Tyrana. Lyn and Marco both gave her glares and walked towards the graveyard. Before they could enter a man in a black hood teleported in front of them. "…Me…Nightmare…lieutenant…of Alderoffe! One…stays…fight me!" They gave the hooded man a weird look. Marco stepped forward. "I'll stay and fight him. You girls go get Alderoffe without me." The cloaked man nodded. He pointed to a wall and a door appeared. He then pointed at Marco then to the cemetery. Marco nodded and walked in. The girls ran through the door, leaving their comrade behind. Marco turned around and lost sight of the entrance and of Nightmare. He suddenly appeared in front of Marco and kicked him in the face. "Time…to…die!"

Tyrana and Lyn came to another door and sighed. "It's the same thing every time! We go into a room, one of us stays to fight a lieutenant and then the others go on!" Lyn kicked open the door and saw Tarmag sitting on the floor of a plain room. "You! You're the last lieutenant?"

"That's correct. But please don't call me Tarmag call me Quill."

"Whatever, I honestly don't care! Let's fight!" Lyn stomped forward towards Quill. "Tyrana go kill Alderoffe for me!" Tyrana ran out of the room afraid of Lyn and towards the throne room.

Mark was desperately defending himself against Raul, but to no avail. Every time he dodged or blocked he was left with a wound. I don't get it! My third eye doesn't see this as an illusion and I feel it! But he never came even close to hitting me... that's it! Mark felt weak from blood lose. But he brought his spear into attack position. Before Raul could attack, Mark slashed Raul in the chest and kicked him in the face. He all of a sudden felt stronger. Just as I thought! Mark smiled and kept attacking Raul. As he attacked his wounds healed. "You're a very good illusionist to be able to trick me. Putting an illusion my brain to make me think I'm being injured and so I can't detect it."

"Yeah but I'm not going out without a bang!" He ripped off his cloak and revealed something that looked like a mechanical spider with a big button on it attached to his chest. "As soon so as I press this button I'll self destruct killing the both of us!"

"Don't even bother. I know it's just another illusion." Raul panicked and ran. Mark threw the Rex Hasta at him. It pierced his body killing him instantly. "He must have only been the weakest of the five." Mark sat against a wall and sighed. "I guess I used the third eye too long. I guess it'd be ok just to take a quick nap." Mark closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Rath was shooting arrows left and right, trying to kill the teddy bears towering above him. Every time he hit a bear. They would just regenerate back to normal. A bear swung its arm at him. Rath didn't move in time and was slashed. The bear then grabbed him and tossed him into its mouth. Rath did the best he could to hold the bears jaws open. Lily was sitting in her chair pouting at the sight. "You're not fun as all to play with! I guess I'll just finish you off." She snapped her fingers and the bear bit down extra hard on Rath. He then had an idea. He jumped down the bear's throat to his stomach. Rath pulled out his killing edge and slashed the bear apart from the inside. He jumped out of the bear's torn up body and began killing more bears. Lily put on an angry face. "You're destroying all my toys!" She snapped her fingers and more bears came to attack Rath. Rath was frantically slashing and firing off arrows. As a Sacaen tribesman I shouldn't be fighting women or children... but now I'll have to make an exception. Rath aimed his bow at Lily and closed his eyes. "I'm sorry…" He released the arrow and heard a thump and a scream. He turned away as all the bears fell lifelessly. I have committed an unforgivable sin... Rath sat down and treated himself with vulnaries as Mark walked in. "What took you so long to make it here?"

"I had to rest after using the third eye." Mark looked around the room and saw all the teddy bears. "What kind of lieutenant was this? A little girl?" Mark laughed to himself a bit, but Rath just nodded. Mark immediately stopped as Rath pointed to the chair in the corner of the room. Mark was horrified as he saw a little girl pinned to the chair by an arrow to the heart. Mark knew how Rath felt about killing women and children. Mark took a seat next to Rath and helped him with the vulnaries.

Kota and Shadow looked at the two people who stood in front of them. Kota concentrated a ball of Ki between his hands. He threw it at Adam who took flight and flew towards Kota. He pulled out a Purge tome and shot at Kota. He jumped out of the way shot another Ki blast at Adam. Shadow had split into three forms and attempted to ambush Lucifer. He simply took flight to avoid them. He then casted eclipse on the three of them. The blast made two of them turn to smoke and made the real shadow fall on the ground. Kota shot simultaneous Ki blasts at Adam. He landed a direct hit with the Purge on Kota. He struggled to stand. "I'm sure god will allow you into heaven." Said Adam as he prepared another Purge shot. Kota jumped out of the way and threw a Ki blast at Adam's head. The hit sent Adam flying into the wall. Lucifer commenced sending multiple Eclipse blasts at Kota. He suddenly stopped. Shadow had gotten inside Lucifer's shadow and had manipulated him. "I got him down Kota!" Kota propelled himself off the ground and smashed Lucifer in the side of the face with his spike gauntlets. Lucifer screamed as the hit connected with his face. Shadow stepped back and let Lucifer fall to the ground. He recovered quickly. "I'll show you!" Lucifer pulled out a fenrir tome and blasted Shadow. Kota ran forward and punched Lucifer in the face. "Dragon killing soldier!" Kota turned both of his hands into claw shapes and did an X shaped strike. "Bear catching fish!" Kota took his nunchaku and gave Lucifer a mighty swing to the head. "Donkey killing farmer!" Kota gave him a donkey kick to the stomach, sending him flying into a chandelier killing him on impact. "No!" Shouted Adam as flew towards Kota. He pulled out a dagger and attempted to stab Kota. Shadow jumped in the way and stabbed Adam instead. He fell backwards and looked up at the two. "Go on kill me… At least I never sinned against god…" Kota raised his fists to strike Adam, but Shadow stopped him. "No, he is beaten. We have no gain from killing him…" Kota nodded and lowered his arms. Just then Mark and Rath walked into the room. "Shadow, Kota! Come on we've gotta catch up to Lyn!" They nodded and followed them down the next hall. Adam sat alone on the ground looking at his dead half.

Marco looked around for nightmare after he disappeared again. Nightmare reappearing over and over while hitting Marco. This is ridiculous! How am I supposed to find him? Marco reached into his pocket and pulled out a small yellow pill. He filled it into his mouth and swallowed it. He closed his eyes and waited. Behind me! He turned around and smacked Nightmare in the head. "How…did…you…find…me?"

"I'm a doctor so I make pills to aid me in battle. So I took a pill to heighten my senses."

"Impressive…but now…let's see…if you… can keep up!" He disappeared and reappeared at alarming rates hitting Marco each time. He managed to be able to swallow a medium sized, red pill in the mean time. He jumped out of the way of one of his attacks and got him into a head lock. "I want to see what your insides looks like freak!" Marco pulled out a scalpel and stabbed Nightmare in the side. He panicked and disappeared again. "That pill increased my speed and power if you couldn't tell!"

"You…are…annoying!" Nightmare reappeared with an iron axe and swiped at Marco's head. He ducked out of the way and stabbed him in the stomach with another scalpel. Nightmare staggered back and fell to the ground. "Why…can't…I win?"

"I'm more skilled of a warrior than you." He then pulled out a small green pill. "Now I'm going to finish you off with this pill." Nightmare teleported and swiped the pill from Marco. "Now…I…win!" He swallowed the pill and fell to the ground. "Can't…move…my…body!"

"Yeah that was really a paralysis pill. I knew you would swipe it from me and swallow it yourself with the need for power." He dragged Nightmare to a tombstone and pinned him to it with scalpels. "We're going to play a little game now Nightmare… it's called "Tell Marco what he wants to know or get tortured."

Mark and co. had just gotten to the cemetery and saw Marco walking towards them. Mark saw that he was covered in blood, mostly on his hands. "What happened to you and the lieutenant you faced?"

"Alderoffe has something planned, but we don't have time to talk now we have to go save Lyn and Tyrana!"

"Huh? Why what's wrong?"
