Everyone heads to the outer area of the boat to be greeted by a floating entity of sorts.

"GEEEEETTTTTT OOOOOOUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTT!"

Chrom gasps. "What is THAT?"

"Looks like something out of the card Einherjars Aversa has been playing with!" Lissa said while squinting at Nergal.

Nergal scoffs while in mid-air. "Fool. I play you all. NO ONE plays me!"

Roy shivers. "F-Father?"

Eliwood gasps. "What is that beast doing here?"

Lyn surveys Nergal. "This is out of proportion!"

Nergal laughs at them, continuing to float in the air. "It is I who was summoned from death and given a chance. By...someone..."

"We won't allow you to get in our way!" Roy said, unsheathing his blade from the holder.

Veronica grunts. "What are you doing here? You aren't even a summon!"

"That is right. I told you human. I have been revived by a reviver," Nergal mentioned to them all.

Lissa ran up closer to the floating creature. "What have you done with Alfonse?"

"Don't blame me for your troubles, pest. The man in the armor allowed me to redeem myself, for I have been slain in the past!" Nergal answered as he flew up higher beyond the boat's reach. "You'd ALL be FOOLS to attempt an attack from below me. That's where your power compares to mine. BELOW ME!"

Nergal flies away to the baseland that is still heavily distanced from the boat.

Lyn sighs. "So now we know Nergal's here..."

Takumi gasps. "He's heading to the baseland! Now what do we do?"

"Set sail even faster. Faster than before! Come on. Lives are at stake," Ryoma ordered everyone.

Lyn folds her arms. "I do not know how Alfonse will deal with that crafty Nergal. How have you even dealt with him, Eliwood?"

"That was long ago. It never truly was 'dealt with' to begin, friend," Eliwood told Lyn.

"Time does move faster in this place. In the water, around the middle of nowhere," Hector mumbled upon himself as he viewed the oceans in the dawn-filled sky.

Donnel gulps with a false smirk planted on his face. "There's no turning back now!"

Lucina nods at Tinhead. "We've made it this far. It's safe to say we will be okay. The trip here was feasible enough..."

Mae shivers. "Until that crazy dude showed up. Boy, I thought that was someone else!"

Celica catches on. "Oh..."

"This trip may be shorter than expected," Ike muttered under his breath.

Barst beats his chest. "Set sail folks! We have a boat to move! Pronto!"

Sully coughs to attract attention. "Also, just don't make us fall off!"

The groups regroup back into their respective rooms. Later, tons of allies head to the rear to relax. Around the time, it happens to be sunset.

Camilla grins. "Ahh, beautiful!"

Kamui nods in agreement. "It is indeed. Never seen many of these phenomenons in person!"

"Why's that?" asked a curious Draug.

"The way I was raised..." Kamui began to say in near silence.

"Eh, I see things like this in skies all the time. It's fun to board on shore with Marth and my colleages again," Draug said to the sisters.

Jakob grins at Kamui. "Ready for the big day tomorrow milady?"

"...Yeah, I'll be fine."

Jakob frowns while staring at the boat's grounding. "Milady, if I fall in battle, I want you to know that—"

"Jakob, Jakob! Please! Don't say that. I will be fine. You just worry about your own being. That is a command. An order!"

"Yes milady!"

"Draug, you are really a friendly guy. You'd rather hang with Nohrians then your friends. Hahah!" Kamui joked to the friendly Altean.

"N-No. It's not like that Kamui. I've mustered up some courage to approach you guys, really. Something many of my allies don't do honestly..." Draug said with a slight frown.

"I'm just happy everyone came along to save Alfonse, Sharena, and Anna!" Kamui cheered to her friends.

Gunter smiled as he rested back on a chair. "What would they be without us and we be without them?" he rhetorically recited.

"Directionless," Selena called out as everyone looks at her afterwards.

Selena blushes. "What? You asked!"

There is a brief moment of silence before Beruka begins to grunt.

"I'd better get some rest," the assassin suggested.

"This early?" Camilla questioned to her retainer.

"A cranky assasin is a terrible assasin."

Selena smirks. "Aren't you always cranky?"

Beruka growls at Selena's comment. "Ironic Selena. Anyway, going to bed. Bye Camilla!"

Camilla waves at the axe retainer as Beruka heads inside the interior of the boat.

Selena folds her arms and rolls her eyes. "Ugh. The nerve of her!"

Laslow slides into the social gathering. "Hello ladies!"

Jakob coughs. "Eh em!"

Laslow lightly jumps up as if startled. "Hello Jakob! Hello armor man!"

Draug waves. "Hey there!"

Selena sighs. "Laslow, go bother someone else. There's plenty of folks who might fall for you."

Laslow cups Selena's chin. "I know you secretly do, heheh!"

Selena's eyes widen in rage. "WHAT?!"

Laslow gasps. "N-Nothing?"

Selena pins Laslow down as Camilla begins to laugh.

"L-Lady Camilla?" Laslow whined out loud.

"Can't help, I'm sorry!" Camilla said, bursting out in laughter afterwards.

Selena playfully waves a sword around Laslow's neck. "I know we're friends and all that but DO NOT PLAY WITH ME!"

Laslow chokes for air. "Gah! Okay, okkkkaayyy!" he screamed, running off.

Peri shrugged her shoulders in confusion. "Boy, I hope he stays focused. I might need someone to discard the chopped heads off the island!"

Camilla taps Peri's shoulder. "Um, Peri?"

"Yes, Lady Camilla?"

"Don't mention that in public!" Camilla whispered.

"Okay," Peri said, running off as well.

Most of the onboard people outside head into their rooms, resting in preparation for the big day tomorrow. The day to end it all!
