Here's the last Ike centric chapter. Here it will be expanded on as far as what Ghirahim gave him. Enjoy.


Chapter 34: A Major Reveal

Ike sat in his chambers with his arms crossed, clenching his chest in pain. Fresh bruises and cuts were surfacing from the most recent training session that he completed with Ghirahim. However, the residual stinging and tenderness of those damages couldn't compare to the stress of an elevated heart rate and the tightly compressed feeling in his chest that squeezed his lungs. It had been a full twenty-four hours since Ghirahim made the promise to tell Ike all about the full extent of what he was injected with.

Ike got up and started walking around, thinking that it might help, or at least take his mind off of it. However, it only seemed to make it worse, so Ike forced himself to stand where he currently was in the room.

Ghirahim invited himself in the room. He looked at Ike with sarcastic sympathy, before giving a small, pleased smile.

"Aw, are you in pain?" Ghirahim asked. "Don't worry. You're body's adjusting. It won't be long now."

"Are you finally going to tell me everything?" Ike questioned.

"Well I did promise, didn't I? Granted, you may not remember it in a bit, but I did promise none the less."

Ghirahim started pacing around.

"I've injected you with a serum that is going to change you, physically and mentally. It will correct the DNA that I see fit. It will eliminate all of those pesky barriers like your high morality standards. All the while enhancing the things I like such as aggression and your raw physical strength. It will keep things like honor, your general personality, as well as some of your memories."

"That can't be all."

Ghirahim stopped pacing and looked at Ike pleased.

"Of course not. I would have let myself down if I left it at that. You're catching on just the way I like. No, the serum does one more thing. It also is transforming you into a demon."

Ike's eyes widened in shock.

"Yes, and like I said it will affect your current state of mind, so it will cloud some of your memories, including this conversation."

Ike finally fell over, slowly starting to loss consciousness, as Ghirahim caught attention of something else, until he decided to Give Ike his attention once more.

"Sounds like we've got some visitors. Don't worry, Koloktos, Moldarach, and Scaldera should keep them busy long enough to complete the process. Once you're ready, we will see them then."

Ike couldn't stay conscious any longer. As he slipped into unconsciousness he was lulled there by the sound of Ghirahim's chaotic laughter.


Sorry if this chapter is a little shorter than the previous few, but I didn't have much planned for this chapter other than what I have written here. As a disclaimer, and I will also mention this in the next chapter, the next chapter will really coincide with this chapter. Yes, the Link and gang chapters coincided with the Ike chapters, but they didn't interact with each other much like in this chapter and the next one. I'd also like to mention that while the next two chapters do revolve around Link and crew, but that's because the main focus of the next two chapters will revolve around them making their way up Snowpeak on one chapter and them getting through the three bosses and finding Ike in the other.
