Every hero, every former bad guy, everyone on board seems to be awoken by the sudden weather change and the boat hitting a boulder wall to a halt. There is no other logical choice but to push foward and vacate the boat.
Alm yawns. "Ah, it's too early for this!"
"Sir, it's noon right about now," Fae told Alm.
Gray jumps up. "Noon? How long were we sleeping?!"
"You have to remember, time flows differently when we are on the boat," Ryoma reminded Gray.
"Yes. This is a different area. No choice other than to adapt," Lucina mumbled.
"I wanna go home!" Elise cried out.
"Elise, don't be scared. You have trusted loyalty right at your side!" Arthur cheered.
Effie nods. "Yeah! Me and Arthur won't let ANYTHING happen to you! ANYTHING!"
Elise sniffles. "...Okay."
The General Base Land appears to take the image of an island. Various buildings are spread out as if it were some sort of barebones city. No civilians could be seen at all besides the summons.
Marth glances around. "Gee, where do we begin?"
"Well ah, these here buildings looks to be a treat," Gaius said, directing the Hero King's eyes to nearby buildings and towers.
"Are we really just gonna walk in there...?" Stahl questioned the crew.
"Alfonse? You with us?" Cecilia called out. No response...
Zephiel gasps dramatically. "Oh no. He may be...dead!" he yelled, grinning for the effort of his sarcasm.
Tobin shakes his head. "Not funny dude!"
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. I'm laughing on the inside," Zephiel blurted out as various eyes began to glance at him.
Sully points her spear to the towers. "Why don't we pause all the chitchat and head inside?"
"Good idea," Ike whispered as he scopes out the building closest to them. "Hm. How are we going to get in?"
Nowi raises her hand. "Ooh, ooh! Let's try the doors!"
"No. There has to be another way," Chrom told Nowi.
Merric notices something. "Hm. A puzzle?"
Merric shows Chrom a piece of a stone with a slot carved in it.
"It appears a sword can fit in here."
Chrom eyes the stone. "Should I?"
Lucina gives Chrom a reluctant nod and Chrom inserts the Falchion in.
Chrom sighs. "I hope this was for a right cause..."
The building door seems to have automatically open moments later. Chrom tries to retrieve his Falchion back but it is gone.
Chrom gasps. "My blade. It's gone!"
Lucina steps up to Chrom. "Want to handle mine Father?"
"No thank you Lucina. I want you to stay alive and protected."
"I hope that stone isn't the case for all the buildings..." Alm commented.
Surely as Alm said, it was. Various people checked all stones around the doors of other buildings and all stones happen to have an opening to place a sword.
"Hm. These things only work with certain weapons..." Lyn pointed out.
Ephraim's eyes slightly widen. "Hm. Divine weapons you say?"
"Yes," Ursula muttered to him.
Roy balls his fists up in an impatient manner. "Everyone, we have to go in now...!"
Chrom gives Roy a stern nod. "..Fine. Everyone, start scoping the buildings out. All we need are the Askran trio and we're good to go!"
"Splitting time!" Hector called out in confidence.
The Awakening and Fates cast heads into the green tower, while the Echoes and Blazing/Binding Blade cast make way into the red tower. Everyone else, including the twins and Marth's group head into the blue tower.
