Chapter 11: The Final Battle
Roy's P.O.V.
"An hour? I might still remember where it is." I sighed as I looked around. "So now we're..."
"In the northeaster part I believe." Reflet replied as he walked up next to me.
"Right." Ike replied, meaning that all three of us were on the same page.
"Okay. Let's go, it's going to take us a while to get there if we wait." I sighed as we took off.
Shadow's P.O.V.
"Alright. It's time to kill those loser. I've been waiting too long. And my hands thirsting for action." I sighed to myself as I looked at Zelgius and an empty cage, though I knew Marth was in it.
"How long do they have?" Zelgius asked me as I checked the time.
"Thirty minutes. You better hope your friends get here so you can enjoy a show." I laughed as I walked up to the empty cage as Marth slowly faded into view.
You won't...get away with this. I'll...make sure of that. Marth had replied as he stood up and looked beyond my shoulder, causing me to turn.
"Well, well. Looky here, it's Marth's famous army. It's such a pleasure to meet you. Now, let's get this started shall we?"
"Fine, just know...Marth's coming back with us." Roy growled as he unsheathed his sword.
"Very well, but it's not fair if it's only me against all of you. So...Zelgius, you wouldn't mind would you?"
"Of course not, but just know...it's going to be harder to penetrate my armor." Zelgius stated as he walked up to me and got in battle stance.
"Whatever Zelgius. Talk is cheap anyway. Let's just get on with this. And don't worry, we'll get you out of this mess." Ike said as he looked at Marth, who appeared to show a smile then disappeared again. Then, seeing that they were all distracted, I launched an attack. Making my new body disappear, I vanished to the back, and slashed Roy in the back before coming back to the front.
"AGHH! What the... What was that?" Roy asked as he crouched to the ground then stood back up, not sitting up as straight, but still standing.
"Alright you brat. I went light that time, but next time, you won't be so lucky." I growled as Ike took the first move towards me, though I easily dodged. "You'll have to try harder than that Mercenary. If you want to hit me." I sighed as I kicked him in the back, sending him flying before hitting the floor. "So, who's next to feel my wrath?" I asked as I looked at two children no older than fourteen. "How about you two?" I asked as I slowly slid closer, corning the two children against the wall of the arena.
"Morgan! Mark! Yeah you creep...back off!" I heard someone yelled as I turned to see the Robin girl Master was talking about.
"Or what?" I asked holding my sword against the two children.
"Or this..." she growled as she pulled out a sword. "Here's how it's done!" she yelled as she lunged forward, not giving me time to react. So, she hit me. Disappointing, I know, but oh well. I must admit, it couldn't be helped. "How about that? You okay guys?" she asked as I recovered, unaware that I was getting ready for a final move.
"We're fine sis." the two kids, apparently named Morgan and Mark, had replied before running off at the call of their older brother.
"She won't be when I'm done with you." I hissed under my breath as I rubbed the gem on Falchion. "Ni inoru tame ni jikan Naga!" I yelled as Shadow Arms, as I call then, sprouted from the gem and flew towards Robin and grabbed her, fling her into the air. "It's been lovely. But I'm afraid it has to be cut short." I said as I jumped upward, sword in hand. "Kore wa anata no saigo no ikidearimasu!" I cried as my sword drew downwards onto Robin, drawing a pillar of flame before we both hit the ground.
"Robin!" I had heard a voice cry, though I didn't know how it was, all the fire around me. Finally, the flame around me vanished, and a jumped up before the others could touch me. Then I looked at Robin, see I did a fine job as she was laying motionless on the ground, her chest moving slowly up and down. I was upset that the stupid sword didn't kill her, but I could tell at the least that she was in a coma.
"What did you do you bastard!?" the other twin screamed at me.
"I did what I had to. And I could do it to all of you if you'd like." I growled, staring back at his with my cold red eyes.
"Why you...I'll teach you how to treat someone!" he yelled as he was about to launch towards me, though he was stopped by Ike and Roy, which made me laugh, though I tried to stifle it, but I couldn't.
"You think this is funny!?" Ike yelled as he turned towards me. "She might be de..."
"She's not dead. A coma? Maybe. But she not dead." I sighed as I took out my sword and looked at Zelgius. "Master. This battle isn't getting anywhere. Who's still fighting?" I asked as I looked around and didn't see anyone.
"Who says?" I heard someone yelled from behind before kicking Zelgius so he fell flat on his back before everyone else except for Ike crowded around him.
"What? Shadow! Help me!" He was pleading so desperately, it was almost funny.
"Why should I? I've been doing all the dirty work while you've been sitting there playing with Marth. So, I see now reason to help you." I huffed.
"Why you! Come over here and..." he started before I saw blood and quickly turned away and started to laugh.
"You just think everything is funny don't you?" Pit asked as he flew above head, shooting arrows at me.
"I don't know. But I do know by killing Master...you sent the power of his armor to me!" I laughed as I held up Falchion, letting the blessed sword absorb the power of Zelgius' armor. "Now, shall we continue this?" I asked as I looked at Ike, who still had his back turned to me, caring for the injured girl. Then I saw my chance to strike. I lunged towards Ike, only to feel a blade clashing into mine.
"No way are you hurting Aiku. I won't let you." Roy growled under his breath as he thrust me back, only making me stumble though.
"Your efforts are really cute. But I'm afraid that won't cut it." I laughed as I held out Falchion. "Kore wa kizutsukeru kanōsei ga arimasu!" I cackled as hundreds of daggers filled the air around me. "Now, I hope you can get through this. Cause this is getting interesting." I laughed as the daggers fired, some fleeing and panicking, but Ike, Roy, and Reflet stood their ground still.
"Reflet! Take Robin and put in the cage with Marth!" Ike had called as he tossed him the keys, which he apparently had gotten from Zelgius decaying body. I had thought about stopping him, but I wasn't going to, at least...not yet. I kept my eyes on the knight and mercenary, continuing to fire daggers, until one of them scrapped Ike square on his sword arm, causing him to grunt.
"What's wrong? Can't use your other arm?" I laughed, mocking him as I walked up to him, kicked his sword aside, and pinned him to the ground with my foot and started slashing at him. "Oh. I thought this would be more fun, but oh well, this will work too I guess." I shrugged as I got off of him, then kicked him in his side, making him grunt more.
"Hey. Hands off!" I turned to see Roy trying to carry Ike's two handed sword with one hand. Then I looked past him to see Reflet running back, which I found a perfect opportunity to attack. I had kept a few extra daggers, waiting for him to come back. So I fire them. They stuck to his coat and pinned him to the wall, just as I wanted.
"Reflet!" I looked up and heard the angel, Pit I believe, scream from the sky.
"Little pest! Jikan ga kakō shimasu!" I called out as a tornado formed in the air, catching the young angel and sending him downward with a soft thud, though he still winced. "Look at them Marth. These are the people who you treasure so much. Most of them can't even stay on their feet, and the ones that can...well, they can't fight back. These are the pathetic people you'd risk your life for to protect!" I barked at him as he slowly appeared, a stunned look on his face.
"You're wrong! We protect Marth with honor, and he protects us! He gives up his life so that we can live, and we'll give up our lives so we can live! You wouldn't anything about trust and love anyway! You just let your own master die!" I turned to see Lucina screaming and crying, Morgan and Mark behind her.
"Anata wa baka damare" I screamed as I disappeared again and appeared behind her, hitting her on a pressure point and knocking her out. "Only the weak would say that."
LUCINA! Imōto ga me o samashimasu! Mewosamasu! I looked at Marth's face, and he was clearly pained, but that wasn't my problem. How could you do that to her?! He was still screaming at me, and I ignored him so he wouldn't hear my answer, but there was no choice now.
"I only do my job and prey on the weak. That's why your you, your sister's unconscious, along with the other one. The boy's pinned to the wall, and the angel's in pain. Why? Because they're all weak, so I simply did my job."
What? You think my sister is weak? You think my friends are weak! You think I'm weak!? I'll show you weak if you want me to." He was growling, though I wasn't concerned until he stood up and squeezed himself through the bars. I was shocked by this. Those bars were supposed to be fool-proof, at least that's what that idiot of a master said. So, why was he...Oh wait, the bastard's dead. I forgot. But anyway, he was able to come out, and he was coming towards me. But I had other plans, so I let him come into my body and reclaim it, which is what I wanted to do. He ran up and jumped, entering my body. My plan was working.
End of P.O.V.
I ended up in my body again, and I noticed that Shadow had actually taken good care of it, which was surprising. But that wasn't why I was here. I needed to find Shadow, which so happened to be easier than I thought (considering the fact he had randomly appeared behind me, scaring the living crap out of me). "I want my body back Shadow." I growled as I went for my sword, until I realized it was gone.
"You can have it back. I'm done with it." he said as he handed me my sword.
"What? Your just giving it to me? But...why?"
"You broke through and got to me by yourself. You stronger than I thought, which means you passed the test." he said then did the most surprising thing. He smiled, not looking scary for the first time.
"Really? But I..."
"Take your body back before I change my mind!" he griped at me before fading away.
"Shadow!?" I asked looking around before I closed my eyes, coming back to reality.
"Prince Marth? Are you alright?" I heard a voice ask as I snapped back into reality.
"Aiku? Where are we?" I asked as I looked around, not recognizing my surroundings.
"I don't know actually. Ask Roy." Ike told me as I looked up to see a blur of red and blue running towards me.
"Marusu! Anata ga totemo koishikattadesu!" Roy cried, sobbing in my arms as I stroked his cardinal red hair.
"Roi-kun. Watashi wa daijōbudesu." I sighed as I let him go and dried his tears with my thumbs before he backed away.
"Your not going to be." I heard a voice hiss as I felt a sharp pain in my stomach before collapsing.
Shadow's P.O.V
I had faded, supposedly going back to my original home, which was no where you idiot Marth, I thought to myself as I hid, waiting for the perfect time.
"Prince Marth? Are you okay?" I heard Ike call to Marth had he got back to reality.
"Aiku? Where are we?" he asked as he looked around, glancing right passed me.
"I don't know actually. Ask Roy." he had replied as a figure ran towards Marth.
"Marusu! Anata ga totemo koishikattadesu!" Roy had shouted as he cried. I would've barfed to, if I wasn't a sprit that is.
"Roi-kun. Watashi wa daijōbudesu." Marth had sighed as I pulled out my spirit weapon (yes, those are things), and got into ready stance by reappearing.
"Your not going to be." I hissed as everyone turned, but no on saw me, that is, until it was too late. "Anata damasa re yasui baka. Anata wa, watashi ga okonatta to omoimashita." I laughed to myself as I stabbed him in the stomach and watched Marth collapse.
"Damasa re yasui baka? Marth is no idiot!" Roy had growled as he started to step forward, but Ike beat him to it.
"You bastard! I'll make you pay!" he shouted, unaware of the fact that I was a spirit.
"Ike! There's no point. He's a spirit." Roy stated, though it sounded like a choke to me because he was holding back tears. Then Ike huffed and lowered his sword.
"I've used up all my energy, so my time on Earth is over. But...I bid you farewell." I sighed as I faded away.
End of P.O.V. (And Shadow)
Roy's P.O.V.
Shadow was gone...finally. But...he stabbed Marth, squared in the stomach. I opened up his tunic to see how bad the cut was, and it was bad. A huge cut went from his stomach to his back. "Ike...I think..." I started but couldn't finish as my tears fell out, forming a waterfall from my eyes.
"He's not Roy."
"You don't know that!" I yelled, furious by what just happened.
"Private?" a feminine voice called, causing me to look up.
"L-Lady Naga."
"He's not dead. I can't wake him, but I know he's not dead."
"But...why not?" Ike asked, somewhat butting in, but I didn't mind.
"He was hit with a spirit weapon. And as a spirit...I can't heal him. Well, I'd need a spirit staff, and I don't have one. I'm so sorry Roy."
"It's not your fault Lady Naga. But...can you at least heal my friends?" I asked as I stroked Marth's hair.
"Of course." she replied happily as lights surrounded all my friends, doing the various things to make them reach full health. Once they were all healed and crowed around us, I looked at Ike, and Ike looked at me.
"Lady Naga!" we both called at the same time, but I let Ike finish.
"What is it milord?"
"Do you think...that maybe...since we can't go back and tell anyone that...you could maybe..."
"Change who positioning in the world?" she asked, finished Ike's statement.
"What does that mean?" I asked as I stood up next to Ike, Marth's head by my foot.
"It means...you keep your power, you still remain friends, all your memories stay the same, and you remember this day...but, you won't be high school students at Smash High anymore.
"That's fine with us. We have to ask the others." Ike replied as he turned to face the others.
"Fine with me." Reflet, Robin, Morgan, and Mark replied with a nod.
"I'm okay with it." Lucina sighed.
"Perfect." Pit smiled.
"Alright. Lucina, Reflet, Morgan, Robin, and Mark, you five will be going to Ylisse. Lucina, you will be the princess of Ylisse along with you father. You four, will be her tacticians and tacticians in training." she finished.
"Pit. You'll be coming with me."
"But...why?" he asked as he started to walk towards Lady Naga.
"You're an angel. So, I'm letting you stay with Lady Palutena."
"Um...okay. But, I can still come to Earth right?" he asked as he looked at us.
"Of course. And you two and Marth will be going back to your original homes as your original places in society.
"So...will I..." I asked, hopeful that her answer would be 'yes'.
"Yes Roy. You and your father will be duke and lord of Pherae again." she smiled to look at my happy reaction.
"Wait. Lord and Duke of Pherae?" Ike asked me as he looked at me, his indigo eyebrows raised with question.
"Yeah. My father was the lord, but he had to give up his position for my safety, but...we should be fine now." I sighed happily as I thought about being duke again.
"Ike...would you rather go back to Crimea or stay with Marth?" she asked Ike as he thought for a second.
"I...want to stay with Prince Marth in Altea milady." he replied as he picked up Marth. Then a flash of light surrounded us...as we said our final goodbyes.
End of P.O.V
I felt myself moving and being placed in a bed. I felt something wrap around my stomach and I cringed in pain a little but let it happen. I was technically awake, but I let myself sleep some.
"Aiku? Is that you?" I asked, still asleep.
"Not just him Prince Marth." I heard another voice say as I slowly opened my eyes to see three figures in the room.
"Mr. Eliwood, Roy? What are you guys doing here?"
"We came from Pherae. We had to see you Marusu." Roy replied as he sat at the foot of my bed.
"So you're okay right?" Mr. Eliwood, or Master Eliwood now, asked as he helped me out of bed.
"Hai. Shikashi... Basho o seikaku ni watashi wa gozen (Yes. But...where am I exactly)" I asked Master Eliwood really, but Roy answered.
"While you were...out, Aiku and I asked Lady Naga if we could..."
"Change our position?" I asked as I looked at him as he nodded. "So does that mean..."
"Yes. Father and I are rulers of Pherae again!" I cheered as I got up and hugged him.
"Omedetō! Kore wa kyodaidesu!" I cheered as I looked at Master Eliwood and Roy.
"So...this is what life is going to be like now." Ike started as we all settled down. "I'm...actually glad that we didn't go back to Smashville."
"I know. Life in the palace again is going to be nice isn't it Marusu?"
"Yeah. Life's back to normal...and we're all together again."
This is the end of A Forgotten Past! I'm excited...but sad. This was probably my best story I've written. But don't worry, I'll be writing more stories. Also to let you know ahead of time, I write more than video game fanfictions. I'm working on a Hetalia story right now, and I might do a Black Butler-Mirai Nikki crossover in the future in I feel like it. (But that's a hHUGE maybe)
