Welcome everyone! This chapter sort of adds onto chapter 13. Which was more less a sort of quick update so everyone got to know. Hey it's back! So yeah it just finishes the Negotiations basically... Anyway this chapter is Aptly named The Exalted Battle of Conquerors... If you are wondering what the hell is up that title! Then I have achieved my job. Haha well you'll see once you get to reading right? Anyway for a quick reminder Grima has a very minorish role this time so yeah enjoy!

(Just inside the Ylissian Border – With his Army behind him – Frey with Morgan)

"Hm, So it's been awhile since I stepped on their soil." I said with a weak sigh. Morgan looked at me with a weak smile.

"Yeah, I know. It seems weird coming here with all of them." I nodded a bit and ran my fingers through my hair slightly. I wondered a little how the little ones were doing at this time.

"Did we get a report from home?" At this Ash appeared beside me and I smiled a little.

"Yeah, they are good Frey. Just crying and stuff but that's normal since you and everyone else has vanished to them." I sighed a little and shook my head slightly.

"We will deal with this quickly then I hope." We continued our march into Ylisse and I was a little surprised Ashur hadn't vanished like he usually did. I noticed him chatting up my sort of Sister Tiki who shook her head at his lame jokes he was throwing out at her. I guess it made a bit of sense the two of them living significantly longer lives then most of us. Still I wondered if Ash knew how bad Grima would tear him apart if he hurt her or worse if he even asked to be with her. I smiled a little and wondered how those two were doing. I hoped they got it fixed a bit.

About half way to Ylisstol, we ran into none other then Chrom and what was left of the Shepherds at this point. He didn't have much and he most likely knew even less that some of those with him were on my side as well. I smiled weakly and held my hand up stopping them all with that simple motion.

"Chrom, a pleasure."

"Frey, I find this meeting very unpleasant."

"I agree let us pass and we can be on our merry way."

"You can bite me Frey. You are marching a huge ass army that..."

"That could crush you and everything in Ylisse at a moments notice. We know you don't want that." He shook his head a little. He placed his hand on the Sword that could technically banish me away if Naga would ever charge it up. Not that she ever wants to do that anymore.

"Is that a threat?"

"No a promise."

"I can't let you attack them Frey. Plegia and Ylisse have gotten on near perfectly since that day. I can't let you do this." I sighed a little and looked at Morgan. She closed her eyes and nodded a little. I sighed slightly. I knew that we had to do it this way. I placed my hand on my sword and tossed it in front of Chrom.

"Choose, three seconds..." Chrom stared at it as I counted down.

"One..." He continued to stare.

"Two..."

"Three..." I charged forward grabbed the sword and quickly smashed its holder onto the top of Chrom's head.

"Duel begins Chrom..."

(A year and 3 months earlier – A Resistance Base – Frey)

"Damn it, He keeps repeating the pattern. It is foolish and he knows he can crush us like ants if he wished it! Why keep doing this!" I looked at Say'ri who was pacing back and forth as Kira and finshed another report on Walhart's counter attack.

"Hm, I don't know Say'ri. I think I have a plan though." The two women stared at me as I smiled slightly.

"I need..." Ashur popped out from somewhere and placed a small scroll down. I nodded at him and he vanished again.

"Thank you Shadow. Now then," I unraveled the scroll and smiled a little.

"We move on Tiki now..." The two women plus Naga and Grima all had the same response.

"What? Now?" I nodded a little and showed the scroll to the two others.

"Mila tree defenses finally weakened as promised. Move everything and initiate Trap WH?" I smiled a little and nodded as I stood.

"Kira and Say'ri, I need everyone and everything we have now. My whole family as well. And make sure they know it is time for the big shindig." They nodded slightly and I smiled a little hoping Annie understood why I needed her for this part.

"Frey we can't leave them..."

"Annie, We need to. It is the best way to trap Walhart. If he thinks the entire leadership is attacking the Mila tree he will move there in force through the forests not avoiding them. Our kids will be safe while we are gone for a couple of days." She lowered her eyes slightly.

"We could be killed and then..."

'The babies will be fine and we won't be killed. At least you won't for sure. I am taking Walhart on myself, alone..." Everyone looked at me in a shock.

"What! Frey!" I shook my head at Annie.

"No, Please don't even try to stop me ok? He will make far too many mistakes by fighting me. He will enjoy the thought of getting a fight from me and prolong it. That will be his downfall trust me." Annie hugged me slightly and I kissed her a little.

"The rest of us will be dealing with the tree itself and a few with the trap. Silver and Kira are on the trap with me and Dad. Say'ri, Lana, and Mom, will deal with the tree. We should also get our reinforcements from Owain and Gerome half way through if needed. Everyone got it?" I looked at Morgan and smiled a little as She gave out the orders. I was trying to train her, I guess, to become my second in command in the future. She had performed well with me in planning out the skirmishes in this war. I only hoped we all survived for a final one.

So we moved, The entire Resistance was going all out in one spot, the tree. It was a big target but, Walhart finally moved his defenses a bit lighter there. It gave us a rather unique chance to kill two birds with one stone. If we were lucky...

(The surrounding forests by the Mila tree – Frey – A few hours later)

"Master, he is nearing us." I nodded at Kira who was for once in her life, actually whispering the Master bit. Still we needed near silence at this point. There was a sound of hooves moving towards us. It wasn't a full gallop actually, it was a slow march. Most likely he wanted to get our troops morale up as he had done multiple times prior to any large scale attacks.

The Hooves were nearly on top of us and from my position in the tree, I could see him. The conqueror wearing that red armor that invoked fear in my men quite often. I nodded at Kira who jumped down in front of him and his men with me.

"Walhart, A pleasure."

"Frey Valentine, I have heard of you." I smiled a little with my arms crossed at the red armored man.

"Been a long and bloody war huh? Well not for me."

"You hide and cower while the Battle is waged far from you. I am even surprised you showed your face , I figured the Shadow had fed me a lie at first." I smiled a little, Oh he wouldn't.

"Don't worry Walhart, I can't wait for you to be killed soon." He glared at me and shook his head a little. He reached to his side and tossed his sword in front of me.

"Choose, Surrender or Die." I stepped back as Walhart started to countdown.

"One,"

"Two..."

"Three..." Walhart charged forward off of his mount which had taken me by surprise and smashed the scabbard of his sword into my head. My men jumped out and Kira went on the defense blocking any interruptions to the duel between me and Walhart.

"Duel begins Frey..."

(Back to Present – Frey)

"Hm, so familiar..." I released my sword from its scabbard and slashed down on Chrom who blocked it with none other then the Emblem. It was plain as day on his arm and I smirked a little pushing the sword down harder.

"This the best you got?" Chrom held his hand out and a lance was tossed into it. Still so familiar... He pushed it towards me and jumped back and then moved forward. Clang, my sword taken from Walhart himself hit into his lance. I grinned a little and he spun around, I sweeped my sword following him. He stabbed the lance towards my hand and I moved the sword in an arc up.

The lance was cut in two and Chrom threw the pieces aside as he drew that sword. He moved forward our swords meeting in between us.

"Come on Chrom, Your acting like me now..."

(The Past – Frey)

Damn it, how can he keep blocking my moves so easily!

"Come on Frey, this isn't even a challenge!" He pushed the sword forward knocking me on the ground. He jumped to stab into my gut. I threw up another magic shield to block again and he growled slightly.

"Your magic won't save you!" He pressed the sword further into the shield, I felt my power slowly lessen as it pushed further.

"Take this!" I launched a fang towards him and he moved out of way again. Damn it. I can't land a hit at all! He thrust his sword towards me and made a slice on my arm.

'"First blood to you huh?"

(The present)

"Hm, First blood to me huh Chrom?" He growled a little and charged again. I smirked a little still I couldn't shake why this felt so similar to me.

"Come on!" I blocked with my sword again catching us in another hold. Our swords clashed neither giving way to the other at this point.

"Here!" My eyes opened wide as he did a move I wasn't expecting. I stepped back and tried to catch my breath.

"You cheap bastard..."

(The past)

"Bastard!" I grinned a little as threw another fang now at Walhart after giving him a classic low blow. It didn't matter how armored that spot was it still hurt people! It struck into him and I grinned as I saw my first mark on him. A deep puncture through his armor. I laughed slightly until he moved and slammed a fist in my gut. I buckled over taking a couple of steps back as met with an armored boot to my face.

"Ha, You wont defeat me!" I charged again and my sword struck against his again. Why we kept getting like this I will never understand.

"You are pathetic compared to me!" He pushed using all of his strength into the hold. I felt my body going down as the pressure increased. I growled a little and tried to use my own strength forward. Grima I need you! Got it Frey! My eyes returned to a familiar blood sheen and I pushed through Walharts defense. I smashed my hilt into his chest and then slammed my fist upwards jabbing his jaw and causing him to be winded slightly. I kicked his chest and smiled as my newly enhanced strength cracked through his armor again.

(The present)

"Damn it... I loved that cloak... That was my favorite!" I threw my now muddy cloak and as it hit onto the ground I sighed deeply wondering what it was about this fight. The rain had started up again and poured down around us and I smiled a little.

"A fitting atmosphere right? Pouring rain, Duel to the death, Just need some lightening.." I launched a thoron towards Chrom from where he stood with a grin as He dodged it barely.

"Frey you are mad! You can't defeat me!"

"Of course I can. I am the conqueror here right?"

(The past)

"Walhart your mad! You can't defeat me that way!"

"I will crush you and your pathetic Resistance after this!"

"Oh very Conqueror like, Nice touch!" He ripped the chest plate off and glared at me. The rain poured down around us and I smiled a little. Fitting for a duel to the death huh Grima? Of course, But we got bigger targets to deal with after this bastard remember that. I know. I know. I will savor his death.

"Take this!" Walhart had grabbed a lance from the body of some dead guy and launched it towards me. I dodged it barely and laughed slightly. He then stopped and picked up another lance. He now grinned as he spun it in a circle at his side. The sounds of our men fighting had been going on as all of this were happening. He smiled a little cheerfully.

"I can delay you Frey. Each moment you waste is another my reinforcements arrive."

"Oh, are you suddenly a coward now Walhart?" He glared at me and charged again. I smiled, Never underestimate me Walhart. As He charged he thrust the lance forward, I smiled and ducked under it quickly and fired Grima's fang into him, it struck and tore through his heart. I smiled as his body hit the ground and all around me cheers erupted.

(The present)

There was an eerie silence for a few moments as I gripped my chest a little. I felt the blood from it pour out slowly and I coughed. The pain shook my body to its core.

"How... do you know that spell..." I coughed as blood escaped my mouth slightly. Chrom had stepped back from me as he lowered the black magic in his hand.

"Robin..." I blinked at him and laughed a little, oh well fuck me!

"That shithead is the reason I am here. Bastard... idiot... He will have Grima now Chrom... I can't wait... Wait till the world around you burns to Ashes..." I closed my eyes a little and felt an oddly cold feeling cover my body.

"Frey! Master!" The shouts of my family. How similar huh Walhart?

(The past)

"Master! We did it! He is dead!" I smiled a little weakly as everyone had gathered around me even the former soldiers belonging to Walhart. They all knelt to me in unison and I sighed briefly.

"We shall fight for you Lord Frey! All hail our new King!" I blinked a little and laughed a bit. How odd, what a weird county that does this huh guys? Not that odd it's a sort of tradition for dysnasts usually. I guess they just moved it for the King as well.

(the Present – Frey)

I coughed slightly and my eyes opened slightly. What the hell? Didn't I...

"Good to see you up Frey." I blinked and my eyes adjusted to the light in the room. Was that Emm?

"Surprised? Heh trust me you got a few people who will be more surprised." I looked around me and noticed the others at the bedside. Annie, and the others?

"How?"

"Chrom... He healed you, an elixir he kept for an emergency in the duel itself. Your army is waiting once your fully healed by the way. Might need to make a speech or something." I smiled weakly and looked at my family who were currently sleeping around me.

"So like... Why? It was to the death?"

"Hm, Ask him if you want. Maybe he was just paying you back for old favor?" I blinked and smiled weakly. I laid my head down on the small pillow and laughed a little.

"A damned Miracle... Just like you huh?" I closed my eyes wondering briefly if there was any need to thank the old bastard.

(A few hours after Frey's Revival)

"Valm owes you one Chrom. I still am unsure why exactly. You had no reason to repay me from before." Chrom sighed briefly and shook his head.

"Consider it repayment and a promise... Ylisse will stand with Valm against Plegia if it comes to it. I would rather avoid more bloodshed though for my people." I laughed a little and bowed slightly.

"You have our word Chrom... Just remember that you got lucky that I didn't think you knew that spell."

"It was a one time deal Frey, Can't ever use it again. Make sure to brush up on your swordsmanship though for a more friendlier duel next time ok?" I nodded and turned towards my family. Annie had been gripping my arm as some sort of lifeline I guess. She had barely let go of me since yesterday. I smiled a little and nodded at Morgan.

"Dad, The Army is ready to move. The captains would also like to um remind you not to pull anymore stunts like that. Gave them a heart attack especially when their men wanted to destroy Ylisse after your 'Death'" I laughed softly and nodded. Now then It was time to pay my final respects to Robin. Ah good! And We just finished! You know who is waiting at that place. I inwardly smiled. Good we just need our final guest to our dinner table eh Grima?

So, You didn't think either Frey nor Chrom would kill each other permanently right? Naw, Those two need each other. Like Yin and Yang ya know? Also, The final "Time Skip phase bit" is next chapter where we do the Final year, The start of Frey's new life as a sort of king and of course meeting an Evil Twin ^_-
