Enjoy!
Hoshido, Shrine
"Now then. We sit here. And pray. Hoping that something happens."
Stated Orochi as she sat in front of a crystal ball and a few herbs on the floor. She had her feet touching while her hands were in a prayer formation, with her eyes being closed.
And the person on the opposite side of the crystal ball was her daughter, Mitama.
Both were praying as it had become a tradition in their home. Since Azama was a monk and holy man, prayer was an important tradition. And it became one for both Orochi and Mitama.
And since Orochi was one to tell fortunes, they used prayer to try and look into the future as well.
"Now breathe in." Orochi stated, as she felt the warmth of the candles that were lit.
But in response, she heard snoring.
Orochi opened her eyes to see that Mitama was lying on the ground, fast asleep.
Orochi smacked her head and sighed.
"She fell asleep, again." Orochi said.
This was a tendency with Mitama. She would always fall asleep, write poems, or take naps. She was a heavy sleeper too, with made her sleeping last long,
And Orochi did pretty much wake her up at midnight for this, so that could be another reason she fell asleep.
Orochi shrugged, grinning as she picked up a feather and took out a jar of smelling salts.
"Oh well Mitama, you asked for this." The former moon retainer of Queen Mikato giggled.
She opened the jar of smelling salts and dipped the feather inside, closing the jar and putting it away afterwards.
Then she slowly tiptoed to the other side, carefully putting the feather to Mitama's nose.
She then started wiggling the feather right under her nose, with Mitama breathing in the smelling salts.
That immediately woke up the star eyed poet, who shot right up and took a deep breath.
"Ack! As I was snoozing away with clouds under my toes, my mother has awoken me with a feather under the nose." Mitama recited as she rubbed her nose and yawned.
"Come on, we can't have you sleeping during prayer." Orochi smiled as she sat back on the other side of the crystal ball.
"May I remind you that you woke me in the middle of the night for this?" Mitama asked with a stern expression.
"I know, but you promised me young lady." Orochi stated as she lit another candle. "Now then, let's continue."
"Fine." Mitama rolled her eyes, closing them and putting her hands together. With her mother doing the same.
"Hmmmm." Orochi hummed, with the crystal ball starting to glow. "Oh! It's working!"
Orochi then picked up one of the herbs and put it in her hands, as she then opened her eyes.
"My horoscope says….."
Orochi's face then looked puzzled. "A world of another, brought with yours, making one new world. New dangers await."
This fortune puzzled the diviner, new worlds together? New dangers? What exactly was it talking about?
Mitama yawned as she put her hand to her mouth. "It's probably not working or something, let me go back to snoozing."
"That's not possible. My horoscope is never wrong!" Orochi stood up and put her hands on her hips.
"Well it sounds like it is now." Mitama let out another yawn. "Now after your foresight did it's best, let me close my eyes and rest."
"Mitama you promised." Orochi told her daughter. "Remember?"
The star eyed poet sighed. "I know."
"Great! Then let us continue." Orochi closed her eyes again, about to put her hands together.
That's when Azama opened the door to the shrine, holding his staff.
"Oh! Do you want to join us Azama?" Orochi asked her husband.
"Both of you, we're going outside." Said the monk, acting a bit serious.
"Oh? It's midnight." Mitama rubbed her eye.
"Then why are you both praying at this time of night?" Azama asked with a smile. "Follow me."
The mother and daughter looked at each other, before getting up and following Azama out of the shrine.
The three slid the doors to the side, stepping out to the streets of Hoshido.
It was a starry night, pitch black in the sky with the exception of the shining stars.
Mainly of the people in the capital were coming out of their homes with lanterns, as they looked around everywhere and began looking through the streets.
Many lights were on, at midnight.
But the interesting thing is, that it wasn't midnight anymore.
It was around 8:00 PM! Four hours before midnight! So first that blue light, then the time changed! What was going on?
"Why is everyone out here?" Orochi asked. "Did something happen? Was it an attack?"
Azama shook his head. "No, it was something else, probably."
"You don't know?" Mitama asked. "Oh how unfortunate that father is slow."
"Mitama." The monk turned to the star eyed poet. "As much as I appreciate your sharp tongue, now isn't the time for jokes."
"Move this way! Come on people there's no need to be worried!"
The three noticed the voice, as it sounded like the voice of a certain teenage samurai.
The three walked to the voice, moving through the crowd of people.
They stopped to see Hana and Hinata, with the two of them guiding the citizens around the area. Hana, retainer of Princess Sakura, and Hinata, retainer of Prince Takumi.
"Yeah don't worry! Just keep moving along, we've got everything covered!" Hinata motioned his hands to certain directions.
"Hinata? Hana? What's going on?" Orochi asked the two samurais, as she was playing with her hair.
"Oh! Hey Orochi! Azama!" Hana smiled as she put her hands on her hips. "We're just making sure everyone is safe! All the people started coming out after that huge blue light shined, so we came out to make sure nothing bad happened."
"Blue light?" Orochi asked in confusion. "What blue light?"
"You all didn't see it?! It was nuts!" Exclaimed Hinata. "It just came out of nowhere and went away, not sure what it was all about though."
"Hm. Typical." Azama sighed.
Hinata nodded. "We don't know if anything changed though, things seem similar. But it feels like the time changed." The brown haired samurai then turned around and called out. "Hey Hisame! Everything okay over there?"
That's when a boy that seemed serious came from one of the valleys. He looked a bit like Hinata, but had the same hair color as his mother.
Oh yeah, Hana and Hinata are married.
"Yes father. Everything is alright over here." Hisame have a nod, with one of his hands gripping the katana at his waist.
"Good! Can't be any less proud of my son!" Hinata grinned as he put his hands at his belt, with Hisame sighing and nodding.
"So what caused you all to wake up at this time?" Azama asked the samurais. "Surely you didn't just wake up immediately."
"Nope. We got a message from Kagero about how Princess Rhajat has gone missing." Hana explained. "Lord Ryoma called a meeting with us all to discuss it, Lady Sakura was so upset that it started to irritate me!"
"Then Lord Takumi and Lady Sakura left with the others to find Princess Rhajat." The brown haired samurai explained. "We're waiting to hear back from them though."
Then two Pegasus' knights came down from the sky, with one of the riders being a male that had Hoshidan armor and dark red hair. As the female looked younger then him and had red armor, but also green hair.
She looked like one of Ylisse's famous Pegasus knights.
"Subaki? See anything?" Hana asked the one with dark red hair. Subaki, perfectionist Pegasus knight and retainer of Sakura.
"Yes actually, it's um….well…quite strange to say the least." Subaki answered.
"We have found that we are in a new land." Caeldori answered, the daughter of Subaki. "We are in Hoshido right now, but Nohr and Valla are closer than they were, and there are other kingdoms that we saw."
"HUH?! New kingdoms?! No way!" Hinata shook his head.
This came as a surprise to almost all of them, there were new kingdoms around them now? What did they do? Fuse with another world unknowingly?
Oh wait, they did.
"It is. I saw them with my very own eyes." Caeldori nodded. "I know it sounds surprising, but it is true."
"Caeldori is correct." Subaki confirmed as he pointed his naginata to the ground. "It's almost like we are in a different world."
That caught Orochi's attention. "Wait, Subaki repeat that!"
"Alright. It's almost like we are in a different world." The Pegasus knight repeated.
"That! That's similar to what my horoscope said!" Orochi pointed at him, trying to remember the exact words. "A world of another, brought with yours, making one new world. New dangers await. That's what it said."
"Are you sure that it wasn't a false prediction?" Azama asked his wife.
"Nope! My horoscope is never wrong!" The diviner shook her head, 100% certain that her prediction was correct.
"Then if there are other kingdoms, and Orochi's foresight predicted this, then maybe it's true." Hana put her hand to her mouth.
Hisame gripped his blade and closed his eyes. "We should wait to hear from King Ryoma, he may have the right answer."
"I can't believe this."
Stated Ryoma as he stared off from a balcony on top of Castle Shirasagi, he could not only see Castle Krakenburg and Castle Gyges, but he could also see other kingdoms and lands.
Aside from the first two, everything else was new to him. As he stood with the Rajinto blade in the ground.
"Huh? Ryoma what was it? Was it—"
Oboro's jaw dropped as soon as she came onto the balcony, she looked out at the other lands near them.
"What the hell?! Are they new enemies?! Is that what that blue flash was?" Oboro asked as her head was all over the place.
"Oboro, calm." Ryoma assured his wife. "We don't know much about these other places yet, I believe we should check on Corrin and Xander."
"I just hope that Lord Takumi and the others are fine. Who knows what could've happened to them and Rhajat?" Oboro asked as she got a look around Hoshido, everything in the town seemed completely fine.
Meanwhile in Nohr….
"Is everyone alright?!"
Called out King Xander as everyone was recovering from the huge flash that occurred not too long ago.
Everyone in the castle was getting up, rubbing their eyes and shaking their heads.
"Ugh, that light." Leo said as Nyx was helping him up, he had dropped his spell book due to the flash.
And the flash also angered Peri, as the queen was waving a spear around.
"What was that light?! Who caused it?! It hurt my eyes! I'll kill who made that flashy light!" The queen exclaimed in frustration, as she started stomping on the ground with both of her feet.
That's when Siegbert came out and tried to home his mother down.
This was Siegbert, the prince of Nohr and son of Peri and Xander. He was a very chivalrous and refined.
"Mother, you must calm down, everything is fine." Siegbert politely told his mother.
Peri turned to her son in realization, not noticing that he was there for a second. "Oh!! Hi Sieg! What are you doing up so late?"
"I heard you all awake, and then that flash from outside woke me up fully." Siegbert explained to everyone.
"Are you alright father?" Forrest asked Leo, who was still recovering. "Do you need me to heal you?" He held up his staff.
"No Forrest, I'm fine. Thanks." Leo put his hand up and scratched the back of his head. "What happened?"
"Oh no! What if somethin happened to Nina?!" Mozu asked, worried about her daughter. "She coulda been hurt! Or or she—"
"Mozu, it's alright." Niles assured his wife. "She better be fine. Nina…."
"Wow! What was the flash anyway? It still hurts my eyes!" Elise exclaimed, as Silas was standing near her.
"Everyone, remain calm." Xander instructed, gaining everyone in the room's attention. "We must stay calm, we are still here in one piece. We must contact my step-brother to see if anything has happened to Hoshido."
"MOM! DAD! UNCLE XANDER!"
Yelled a young cavalier with Elise's hair and armor like Silas' ran into the room with a spear, she looked out of breath as she hurried into the room.
This was Sophie, daughter of Silas and Elise, as well as being a princess of Nohr.
Everyone looked at the cavalier, who had sweat on her forehead and worry written all over her face.
Elise and Silas hurried to their daughter.
"Sophie! What's the matter?" Silas asked urgently.
"L-look outside!" Sophie pointed at the door.
Xander nodded as he walked to his niece.
"Show me Sophie."
Sophie immediately ran to the doors, opening them up to the balcony.
"Look!" She exclaimed. "There's other kingdoms! I see Hoshido from here!"
"What?! But how can that be?" Leo asked, why would Hoshido be that easy to see? They were only at the castle. It was normally harder to see at this viewpoint compared to others.
Xander took a step outside onto the balcony.
His mouth slightly widened, looking out into the distance.
Just like Ryoma, he saw Hoshido and Valla. But also other lands and kingdoms.
"What should we do brother?" Leo asked as he stepped out along with Xander. "Oh, so Sophie wasn't lying."
"Leo." Xander turned to his brother. "Please contact Ryoma and Oboro."
Meanwhile in Plegia….
"So then, you claim that you are from one of those new kingdoms?"
"It would sound so, yes."
"And you know how your kingdom may have been brought into our world?"
"I…..have an idea."
"And the other two kingdoms with yours are your brothers kingdoms?"
"Yes."
"And you claim that these kingdoms and yours are peaceful?"
"Yes, I do."
Corrin gave a nod, as he was sitting at a long rectangular table in the castle of Plegia. He sat next to his wife Camilla and the others at the table. Chrom, Lissa, Emmeryn, Gangrel, and Aversa, they were discussing the fusion of both worlds.
"How do we know you're even telling the truth?" Gangrel asked as his arms were crossed. "We just met you!"
"Gangrel…..please be nice to them…" Emmeryn out her hand on the table and asked if the mad king, with him letting out a groan.
Corrin gave a nod. "Don't worry, I don't exactly blame him. We just ended a war in peace, between both of my families. Both Hoshido and Nohr have been at war for a long time, but I brought both kingdoms together and we are now all at peace."
Camilla then stood up and put a hand on Corrin's hands.
"The king of Nohr is my older brother, I'm sure if we explain then there will be no conflict between our lands." Camilla gave a small smile.
Chrom gave a nod, as he felt a small tap on his shoulder. He turned to Gangrel, who was signaling something to him.
The two turned their chairs around and brought their faces closer to each other.
"What is it Gangrel?" Chrom whispered to the mad king.
"I still don't trust this kid, look how young he is!" Gangrel quickly turned to Corrin, before looking at Chrom again. "And look at his wife! Does she look like a queen to you?"
"Ahem!"
The two turned to Aversa, who had her arms crossed and a stern expression on her face.
"What Aversa? You're not a queen!" Gangrel quietly stomped his foot. Before pointing to Emmeryn. "She is!"
"What?!" Lissa asked in surprise.
"Hey! We didn't agree on this." Chrom shot a glare at Gangrel.
"Er shut it! That just slipped out!" Gangrel groaned. "Anyways, are you really just going to trust him that easily?"
"Oh come on Gangrel! Be a little trustworthy!" Lissa pouted. "He looks alright to me! His wife's a little scary, but I'm sure she's fine."
Gangrel rolled his eyes and turned around in his chair. "Fine, but don't involve my kingdom in whatever they do!"
"Right." Chrom looked back at the king and queen. "I believe you Lord Corrin, but I have to ask a question."
"Go ahead." The dragon king agreed.
"Would a meeting between your family and the rest of Archanea be possible?" Chrom asked. "I am crowned exalt of Ylisse, Gangrel here is the king of the land we're in right now, and Valm has a queen."
Corrin out his hand to his chin, giving a small nod. "We're having trouble with something right now, but I think I'll be able to contact them both."
"W-what's the issue….that….you're dealing…with?" Emmeryn managed to speak, as she tried sitting up in her chair better.
"Our daughter ran away." Corrin responded as he gripped his hands a bit. "In fact, I think she's the reason why our worlds fused together."
"Wait, you have a daughter?" Chrom raised an eyebrow. "How old is she?"
"Eighteen years old."
"The same age as you?! How?!" Lissa's jaw dropped to the floor.
"It's a bit of a long story." Camilla admitted. "Poor Qana bun, she became enraged and then ran away from us."
Corrin nodded. "She created a portal and then jumped into it, when we came out of the castle, we were here."
"So that's how it all happened." Aversa kicked her feet up onto the table.
"Yes, and we need to find her. She could be in trouble right now."
"*Huff* *Huff*…I….I'm fine."
Said an eighteen year old princess as she was running through a forest.
It was Qana, she had woken up in the forest and began running.
As soon as the princess had jumped through the portal, this was where she ended up.
And now she was running for her life.
But from what exactly?
Qana hid behind a tree, she could feel sweat dripping down her head and her hair drying up a bit. She was actually afraid, not common for her.
"I-I'll be fine. I'm safe now, just me." Qana panted as she gripped the bark of the tree. "Nobody else, I'm free."
Back in Ylisstol…..
"So there's three more kingdoms?!" Severa asked as everyone was in dining room was super confused about what was going on.
"How can this even be?! Is this a gift from Naga or an evil curse of Grima?!" Owain asked as he was grasping his hand.
"Urgh! Father! My hand is in pain as well!"
Owain looked at his daughter, who was holding her own hand. Ophelia shot a smile at him, as he smiled too.
"My daughter is just like me! She is a chosen one!" Owain pointed to himself and grinned with pride. "Just like her father!"
"Owain, this isn't the time to mess around!" Inigo told his cousin. "This is serious you know."
"Inigo is right. What is going on?" Gerome looked at everyone.
Brady took a peak out the window, everything seemed fine. With the exception of the three new kingdoms in Archanea.
"I mean, it all looks the same 'celt for them other places. Think we'll be alright." Brady admitted.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Hey! Open up this blasted door already!"
The whole group heard a loud banging sound, like it was against the large doors of the castle.
"Who's at the door?" Marc asked. "See father and our aunts back already?"
"No. That didn't sound like father at all, and the guards would have let him in." Lucina shook her head and gripped Falchion.
"I'll go check." Apollo stated as he quickly ran out of the room.
"Apollo wait!" Kjelle put her hand out, putting that same hand to her hip afterwards. "Geez, he's just like me."
The others prepared some of their weapons too, making their way to the front doors of the castle. The voice that yelled behind the doors sounded nothing like anyone they knew, they needed to take precaution, as they arrived at the door.
Apollo had his ear out against the door, his spear gripped.
"Who is it?" The beast rider asked.
"We're a buncha bloody bandits!" Exclaimed the voice from the doors other side. "We bypassed yer dumb guards and we're here to get vengeance!"
"Vengeance? For what?" Cynthia asked as she had her spear ready.
"You got a prince here named Marc ain't that right?" The bandit leader asked. "Well some dumb guy with a black hat and six swords came by our camp and kicked our butts! And he brought up that name! He'd better be here!"
Dillon looked at Jillian.
"Black hat?"
"Six swords?"
"William!" All of the third generation exclaimed.
In that moment, both Marc and Cynthia looked at each other.
"William did something?" Marc asked. "And he mentioned my name?"
"He has six swords?" Cynthia asked in surprise, that's what she was concerned about?
"I-I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding!" Noah exclaimed. "Big brother only fights when—"
"When people are going to do something bad." Mary finished her twin brother's statement.
Then all five of them nodded and sighed, William side knew how to lick fights.
"It ain't no misunderstanding! That bastard had better be this castle! And if you won't let us in, we'll storm the gates!" The bandit leader yelled, followed by an evil cackle. "So what's it gonna be?"
Everyone stood there for a few seconds, they could easily overtake a couple of weak bandits, but something may go wrong and they could raid the castle.
Like that would ever happen.
"Alright." Apollo put his hand on the door handle, starting to open up the big gates.
He opened them.
"Hah! So it looks like you decided to—"
"Hragh!"
"AGHHH!"
Suddenly, all of the bandits were knocked back by Apollo's spear. He had swung the whole thing around and hit each bandit with either the chain or the pole.
Knocking all of them farther away from the door and causing them to land on the ground.
Many awed at Apollo, who called his spear tip back and spun it around.
"Who's next?" Apollo asked as he walked out of the castle.
Ophelia ran out too, holding her own tome and striking a pose next to Apollo.
"I will help as well! This chosen one will take care of these scum in a matter of minutes!" She exclaimed.
"Hm." Apollo gave a small nod. "Very well."
All of the bandits shook their heads and began getting up, grabbing their weapons and dawning angry faces.
"Urgh. You blasted fool! You got lucky there!" The leader held up his axe and pointed at Apollo. "We'll make ya pay dearly for that!"
Apollo stood there in silence, staring at the leader.
"Oh really?"
Apollo snapped his fingers, as a large beast came down and landed right behind the bandits.
It was Artemis, as the beast was staring down all of the bandits, inflicting slight fear into their hearts.
Artemis let out a mighty roar of pride, as she started attacking the bandits.
Many of them were afraid of the beast, just as the leader was. But the leader shook it off and raised his axe into the air.
"Well whaddaya just standing around for!" He pointed at the others. "Get 'em!"
So the other bandits charged at everyone else, who began clashing with them.
"Oh no you don't!" Cry this exclaimed as she had gotten on her Pegasus and began attacking. "None of you are a match for the great heroine of the skies! Cynthia!"
Everyone continued to keep fighting, but easily they were winning because the bandits weren't too powerful.
Apollo especially, he was just batting away the bandits with his spear like it was nothing. He kicked one of them in the stomach, then hit him in the chin with the bottom of of his chain spear, as Artemis jumped out and kicked the bandit to the ground.
Gerome looked at his son, seeing every move he took and his teamwork with Artemis. It almost reminded him of him and Minerva, but the two were fighting separately.
And yet, they were still fighting together. Just like a team.
"Hm." Gerome nodded, dodging a bandits attack and then knocking him back with his spear.
Dillon and Jillian were currently fighting off a larger, more muscular bandit. Who was using a club.
"That kid caused a lotta trouble for us! He took us down easily in a matter of a minute! He'll pay for that!" The bandit yelled.
"Urgh. This guy's no match for us, right sis?" Dillon asked as he was using a sword to clash with the bandit's axe.
"Yeah big bro!" Jillian grinned as she had a knife, carefully placing it in a certain position each time the bandit struck the weapon.
But she noticed something, she noticed another person being tied up to l a long wooden pole placed by the bandits.
It was a teenage girl with dark brown pigtails, she also had a red hood and an outfit that looked to belong to an outlaw.
She had tape on her mouth and was tied to the wooden pole with ropes, she was struggling to escape.
This alerted Jillian, as the knight turned to everyone else.
"Guys! They've got a hostage!" When she announced this, many turned to Jillian and then the hostage.
But then, a certain voice was heard.
"HOHOHO!"
Everyone stopped fighting, staying still like sculptures of ice, frozen on a cold winter day.
"You rough, lazy, no good bandits think that you can just take a cutie like that and I wouldn't know?" The voice called out, as everyone looked around. "Hah! Well I'll show you a thing or two!"
They all looked up to the castle, as a figure emerged from the top.
"S-Soleil?!" Mars asked as he looked up at the figure.
Soleil was standing at a higher level of the castle, holding her sword and resting it on her shoulder.
She had a completely new outfit on.
She had a navy blue one piece that had long sleeves, cloth used by dancers attached to her wrists, golden bracelets, her hair was tied into a ponytail, and she wore blue high heels on her feet.
"Yup! Pretty stylish huh?" Soleil asked as she put her other hand on her hip. "Made this in my room, cause my old clothes tore up!"
"Soleil! Be careful!" Lucina yelled at her daughter. "You could fall and get hurt!"
Soleil rolled her eyes and grinned. "Pfft, I'll be fine mom! Just watch!"
Soleil then jumped right off of the lower castle roof, as every awed in amazement at her descending to the ground.
She landed in front of the gates, on both of her feet with grace.
She stood with confidence.
Until she bent down a little and grabbed her foot in slight pain.
"Ow. Maybe heels were a bad idea." Soleil said, possibly regretting her choice of footwear for her new outfit.
The bandits looked at her for a second, before bursting out into laughter and pointing at the flirtatious princess.
"Haha! Look at this chick! What kinda outfit is that?" One of them laughed.
"She thinks she's gonna beat us with that girly outfit?" Another one laughed. "She looks like a weak little dancer! Not some fighter!
"This is so hilarious! She just looks like some dainty slut!"
The other insults weren't nice by any means. Sure they were rude, but Soleil expected something like that.
But that last insult, ooh she didn't like that.
Soleil gripped her sword handle in fury, as she began running up to the bandit who called her that last name.
She ran so fast and planted both of her feet into his chest, launching herself off and living him away.
"AGH!" He yelled as he was sent flying back against a wall.
Soleil landed on her feet, with the other bandits looking at her.
She pointed her sword at all of them, with fury in her eyes.
"Get her!"
They yelled as they started attacking Soleil.
Soleil was dodging their moves and landing sword strikes against their weapons, kicking them in the face and using hand to hand combat with her sword moves.
She kicked one of the bandit's weapons right out of his hands and swiped at him with her sword.
She hit him with the front side of the blade, slamming it right against his forehead and knocking him to the ground.
Lucina and Inigo watched their daughter fight, they hadn't exactly seen Soleil fight before. Sure she's been with them during the war, but she never fought super close to both of them.
They were impressed, especially Lucina.
"Let's give Soleil support!" Lucina exclaimed as they all went back to fighting.
"Ha! Arah! You all are no match for the power of Owain Dark!" Owain slashed his blade.
But a bandit snuck up behind him, about to slam his axe down against Owain's back.
But he was saved.
"Luminary uppercut!"
Yelled Ophelia ask the chosen one uppercutted the bandit in his stomach, with green energy around her entire fist.
Then she turned around and put the same hand out, with her tome opening up.
"Missletain!" She exclaimed as a blast of magic was shot out of her hands and against two other bandits.
Owain looked in awe, his daughter was a very skilled mage. And her attacks showed.
"I could never be any prouder of my daughter!" Owain closed his eyes and grinned, raising his fist up.
Then Ophelia put her hand out, as the two gave each other a fist bump.
Like father like daughter.
The group had finally taken care of all the bandits, as they all lied on the ground in front of the castle in pain.
"Owey…" The leader said, with Lucina walking to the leader and kneeling down to him.
"Who sent you?" Lucina asked the bandit leader. "Why did you attack Ylisstol?"
"W-wh hey!" The leader out his hands up front. "We weren't sent by anybody! We were lookin for the brat that kicked our butts earlier today!"
Dillon and Jillian them bolted to the leader, as Marc and Cynthia followed shortly.
"You said he had a black hat and six swords." Dillon pointed out. "Did he ever say what his name was?"
The leader rapidly shook his head. "Don't know! But when we all got back up, we saw a name carved on one a them nearby trees! Said 'William' or something."
This alerted both Jillian and Dillon.
"That's our big brother!" Jillian said. "So he's here! Where is he?"
"I don't know! He just walked off and left us there! Used only one sword against us!"
"Out of six?" Marc asked. "Six is pretty weird though, I don't think many people use six swords in battle."
"You'd be surprised father." Dillon stated, giving his father a blank expression.
While they continued to speak to the leader of the bandit group, Soleil made her way to the girl who was kidnapped.
The girl shook multiple times, as she was struggling to escape.
Soleil took out her sword, putting it to the rope that restrained the girl.
She started cutting it.
"Don't worry cutie, I'll get you out." Soleil chuckled as she kept sawing at the rope with her blade.
She finally cut the rope, but she was met with something she didn't expect.
The girl kicked Soleil in the arm, as she slid to the side and jumped back.
"Ow! Hey what was that for?!" Soleil asked as she held her arm. "I just freed you!"
The girl ripped off the tape that covered her mouth, throwing it off to the side.
"Thanks for freeing me, but I'm not just gonna trust you that easily." Said the girl.
This girl, was Nina.
"What? Why?!" Soleil asked as she picked up her sword, which she had dropped when Nina kicked her. "We saved your life and I freed you! You can't trust me?"
"I just met you, and I'm not exactly trusting of others." Nina picked up one of the bows used by the bandits and drew an arrow, aiming it at Soleil. "So back off, before I make you."
Nina was looking at Soleil, making sure that her arrow shot was accurate when she let go of it.
But then she saw Gerome and Inigo, both coincidentally standing next to each other.
Nina blushed, as some drool was slightly coming from her mouth.
"Oh my god!! Look at those two! They look perfect for each other!" The girl thought as she now had hearts replacing her eyes. "Ooh I wonder what those two would get up to together!"
"Hya!"
Exclaimed Soleil as she ran forward and knocked Nina in the stomach, causing the outlaw to fall on her back and onto the ground.
"Agh! Hey! I wasn't ready!" Nina exclaimed as Soleil looked down at her.
"You got distracted!" Soleil smiled, pointing her sword at Nina. "Now why don't you calm down? Or else we'll have to contain y-"
That's when Soleil's sword was knocked right out of her hands, the girl looked at her hand in shock.
Nina had fired an arrow while she was still on the ground, and she aimed perfectly at Soleil's sword.
Nina also managed to escape l as she stood back up and drew another arrow.
"You'd better run." Nina warned the princess, drawing another arrow.
Soleil shook her head. "I don't need to run when dealing with—"
That's when Nina fired the arrow.
It went right passed Soleil, barely missing her.
Soleil's eyes immediately widened, as she stared at Nina in the eye. She was almost just killed by an arrow, because she got too cocky.
The girl stood for a second, she took a deep breath and put up her index finger.
Then she struck like a lightning bolt and ran.
Running towards an exit to the town.
"Soleil wait!" Lucina called out as Nina began chasing the girl and fired arrows at her.
The princess shook her head, as Inigo stood next to her with his killing edge.
"Don't worry dear, she'll be fine." The dancer assured his girlfriend.
Apollo then ran and jumped onto Artemis. As the beast stood and roared.
"We'll follow her." Apollo and Artemis flew into the air, as beautiful sparkles of snow illuminated off of the beast's wings. With its form being bright in the darkness of night and the pale moonlight.
Some of them were awing at the creature's beauty.
"Wooooowwww!" Enya was amazed, as a bit of snow descended onto her nose. "Ooh snow!"
Soleil was now running through the forest, she had gotten far away enough from the castle and town.
Nina was still chasing after her, the outlaw jumping from tree to tree and firing arrows at the princess.
She managed to dodge all of Nina's arrows, but barely as running through a forest in high heels was difficult.
"You can't just run forever!" Nina called as she kept hopping. "I'll get you eventually!"
"Why couldn't you just put the bow down?!" Soleil asked, heavily regretting just running away, farther from everyone.
Someil then stopped in the middle of the forest, as she saw a tree stump that was on the ground.
An escape! She could go through it to get to the other side!
"Alright I got this!" Soleil shoved herself right into the stomp and attempted to escape.
She was now inside of it, but there was one problem.
She couldn't completely fit.
"Dammit! Agh! I'm stuck!" Soleil exclaimed as she struggled and struggled to get through, pushing as hard as she could. "Why can't I fit?!"
"Alright! Gotcha now!" Nina exclaimed as she pulled her arrow back.
"Crap. I can't get out!" Soleil exclaimed as she was stuck in a tree stump, unable to go further in.
"Now I'm just gonna aim right here." Nina aimed the arrow right at Soleil's backside.
"Three, two, one, goodbye-"
That's when a sound and smell blasted out of Soleil which caused Nina to gawk.
"GAHH! What the hell?! Oh! Oh gods Ew!" Nina turned around, dropping her bow and arrow. "Ugh! That is so sick! Nasty! *Cough!* What the hell did YOU eat?!"
"Hah. Got her." Soleil then pulled herself out of the tree stump. "Now come on, let's just stop for a moment. Hm?"
Soleil saw that Nina was on her knees holding her nose and coughing. "You're disgusting." The archer said.
"Whoopsie. Didn't mean to let that one go on a cutie like you." Soleil blushed. "Now can we be calm?"
And now we come back to Qana, who was walking through the forest slowly and being aware of her surroundings.
"Okay, no one here. If there's someone I'll kill them." The princess bit her lip
Then she heard a voice.
"GAHH! What the hell?! Oh! Oh gods Ew!" Nina turned around, dropping her bow and arrow. "Ugh! That is so sick! Nasty! *Cough!* What the hell did YOU eat?!"
Qana's ears twitched, as she looked around her area.
"That sounded like Nina, where the hell is she?" The princess drew her broken sword, holding the blade face down as she carefully snuck around the area.
Until a rotten smell brought her to a stop.
"UGH! What the hell is that stench?!" Qana exclaimed in irritation as she grabbed her nose and mouth with both of her hands.
"You're disgusting."
Qana could hear Nina's voice again, she needed to track where she was.
But the smell was horrible, it was almost like cheese.
Qana slowly walked through the forest, as she snuck through the bushes while gripping her sword.
Then she saw Nina.
Nina was on the ground while clenching her nose, she looked like she had just been poisoned by something.
Then Qana jumped out of the bushes. "Nina!!"
The outlaw quickly turned. "What?!"
But before the dragon princess could get to the girl, someone got in her way.
A girl with dark blue hair in a ponytail, as the two collided in slow motion.
Both Qana and Soleil met each other's eyes, until they bumped into each other.
"Augh!"
"Ow!!"
Both fell to the ground, before Qana quickly got back up and readied her sword.
Soleil was still recovering from the collision, as she shook her head and opened her eyes.
Only to be met with an angry princess in black armor and purple hair pointing a sword at her neck.
"Woah! Hey!" Soleil put her hands up and looked at Qana. "Why can't people just talk?!"
"Who are you?" Qana asked as she glared down at the princess. "What are you doing with Nina?"
Soleil turned to the outlaw. "Nina huh? That's a cute name."
Then she looked back at Qana.
"In fact, you're pretty cute too."
"Shut it! Answer my question." Qana demanded as she gripped her sword harder. "Who, are you?"
Soleil dat in silence for a few seconds, before she sighed.
"I'm Soleil. I'm a princess of Ylisse and I'm from the future." Soleil rolled her eyes. "I literally saved your friend over here and she started attacking me."
"The future? Don't make me laugh." Qana snorted. "Time travel is impossible, hell you don't even look like you're from Valla. Or Nohr."
Soleil dawned a look of confusion. "Valla? Nohr? What are you talking about? We're in Ylisse right now!"
Qana raised an eyebrow. "Ylisse? Never heard of it, you're probably just filling my head with lies."
"Can you please stop pointing that sword at my throat?"
"No. Now get up already."
Soleil squinted her eyes, grinning afterwards.
"Okay, I'll get up…."
Soleil then rolled back and kicked Qana away, jumping up from the ground and right on her feet.
"Urgh! Oh you've done it now!" Qana got into a battle position and held her blade in front of her.
"I'll have you know I'm a descendant of some of the world's best dancers!" Soleil exclaimed as she got into her own battle position. "All that practicing was worth it!"
Soleil then realized something, she still didn't have a weapon.
She was now backing up slightly, she had nowhere to run and no sword.
Until she felt a grip near the tree she was leaning against.
This grip felt familiar, like a weapon she had used before.
This grip felt like a sword, one with patterns.
She pulled out what she was holding from the tree, she looked at what she pulled out.
It was a brave sword! And not just any brave sword….
It was hers.
It was a special brave sword that was from the future, one that was made especially for her by William.
It had a pink handle with straps of navy blue wrapped around it, the blade was shiny and the handle was silver.
It had the Exalt mark on the blade.
"Oh hoho." Soleil smiled as she unsheathed the blade and pointed it at Qana. "Bring, it, on."
The two stood still, before dashing towards each other and winding up their weapon arms.
They clashed, and started fighting each other. Both were on par with each other's moves.
But where did that sword come from? How did it get there?
Swords don't just randomly appear by coincidence.
Meanwhile near the Mila Tree….
"Good thing I placed those weapons in random areas."
Said William, we meet him once again.
He was leaning against the Mila Tree, writing in a small notebook.
As stated, William is a blacksmith. He may not look like it, but he's quite the crafter.
In the future, he had crafted special weapons made for his cousins and his friends. But as said before the only one who had his special weapon was Apollo, while William had position of all the other weapons.
And he decided to place them randomly across the land.
"Why did I even do this?" William asked. "I don't know but I felt like it!"
William grinned as he put his notebook away.
He turned around and put his foot up against the divine tree, as he put his hand on it.
Gripping the wood, he then launched himself up.
"Woooooohooo!"
William exclaimed as he was flying up the tree, blasting up at the speed of light.
He landed on the top of the tree, as he caught his hat which gracefully descended to the ground.
"Bang. Finally here." William began walking towards the center of the tree. "Wonder where Tiki is, don't think she survived in the future. Oh who am I kidding she didn't."
William looked around the Mila Tree, it looked to be the same as usual.
"Hello."
He stopped, as he turned around and quickly drew his blue sword.
"Who's there?! Where you at?!" William asked as he looked in multiple directions.
Then he looked in front of him, to see the voice of Naga herself.
Tiki.
William stared at her for a few seconds, before he sheathed his blade slowly.
Then he bowed and took off his hat.
"Lady Tiki, good to see you." William grinned as he threw his hat up and put it on his head.
The dragon stared for a few seconds, before smiling.
"Hello, who are you?" Tiki asked.
"Name's William." William smiled as he put his hands in his pockets. "Here's the thing, I'm from the future. But a different future."
Tiki nodded. "I can tell, but there is something…..unique about you."
William shrugged, walking towards Tiki. "Well i'm a prince. Don't really act like one but I am."
Tiki then put her hand on his forehead, as William looked up at her hand on his head.
Tiki then nodded. "You are a descendant of Mar Mar. But you are different."
The dragon princess then put her hand on William's chest, feeling his heart.
"Your heart…." Tiki said. "You are kind, compassionate, courageous, and….powerful."
"I know." William nodded.
"But….there is something strange about you. You don't feel…..completely human." Tiki closed her eyes as she felt his heart more. "Oh my…..you are.."
William then moved back. "Yup, I know. Unique." He nodded. "Anyways I gotta go, don't tell my grandparents or siblings if you see them."
William started walking towards the end of the tree, as she jumped right off.
"Wait!" Tiki out her hand out. "You will, will he be alright?"
"Yep, I'm fine."
Tiki was spooked as she turned around, William was right behind her, acting like nothing happened.
"H-how did you?"
William closed her mouth. "You're right when you say I'm unique, you're right."
William then turned around and dived off of the tree.
"Wooohooo!!"
Meanwhile…..
"Huff…..huff…..huff…."
Qana breathed.
"Woo…..ahh….ugh…"
Soleil panted.
The two were staring at each other; both were sweaty and battle damaged.
Their fight was intense, they had landed good hits on each other.
But neither of them had won, they just tied.
"Hey….you know what….you're pretty good." Soleil smiled as she proved her sword on the ground to try and stand up a bit.
"Shit….you're not bad or whatever…" Qana grit her teeth as she could barely stand on both legs.
Soleil stood up straight now, she could walk fully again.
"Can w-we please…..just call it a truce?" Soleil asked.
Qana stared at her, before groaning. "Fine…."
Soleil walked to the princess. "So let's start this off again, I'm Soleil. I'm a princess here, now what's your name?"
"Qana. I don't give a shit about anything." Qana answered. "I'm a runaway princess with a temper problem, I ran from my parents because I hurt people I care about."
That caught Soleil's attention. "What happened?"
"I turned into a dragon." Qana grit her teeth. "Then I hurt others, I ran into this blue portal and I woke up in this forest. Then I heard Nina and smelled something horrible."
Soleil nodded. "Oh yeah! That's cause I farted, whoops."
Qana just looked at the princess in slight disgust. "You….flatulated? Gross! It smelled awful!"
Soleil blushed and scratched the back of her head. "I forgot I was lactose intolerant, and it helped defeat your friend."
"Wow. You did that right on Nina?!" Qana looked at the outlaw, who was recovering. "You're disgusting. Some princess you are."
"Same to you!" Soleil yelled as the two glared at each other. "You literally said you hurt people over your temper! And you're a dragon?! How?!"
"It's a complicated story alright?!" Qana yelled at Soleil as the two were glaring intensely at each other. "I ran away because I didn't want to hurt my stupid parents! Even though I hate them!"
"Well I just saved my parents but I don't like them either!!"
The two then stopped, looking at each other in realization.
"Wait, you hate your parents?" Soleil asked with curiosity.
"Yeah. I just don't want to hurt them. But it doesn't matter." Qana crossed her arms. "I'm free from them."
"I've got parental problems too."
Qana then looked at Soleil. "Guess we've got something in common."
"Yeah." Soleil nodded, as she put her hand out and grinned. "Why don't we call a truce for now? I can help you around if you want."
Qana looked at Soleil's hand, thinking about her offer.
The dragon princess groaned, before shaking Soleil's hand. "Fine. But only for now, I'm a lone wolf."
"Good!" Soleil grinned. "Now we'll grab your friend, and we'll get going!"
They turned to Nina, who had recovered from Soleil's gas attack.
"Huh? Oh, hey Qana." Nina waved as she picked up her bow and put it over her shoulder. "I…..are you…."
"I'm fine now. Sorry I lost control." Qana apologized.
"You hurt Velouria, and Midori." Nina responded as she walked up to the princess. "They're both severely hurt because of you."
Qana looked to the ground, she didn't say a word.
"Qana, look up. You-"
Qana then grabbed Nina by her wrist, as the outlaw was shocked.
Qana seethed, glaring into Nina's eyes. "Shut, up. I know what I did. I messed up."
Nina struggled, as she put her hand on Qana's hand. "Qana……please let go….you're hurting my…."
Qana let go and turned around. "Whatever, let's go Soleil."
Soleil looked worried, as she stared at The princess. She turned to Nina, who looked worried.
"Sorry we got off on the wrong foot. I'm Soleil." The girl smiled as she put her fist up.
Nina nodded and returned her with a fist bump. "Nina, sorry I got hasty."
"It's fine." Soleil then ran up to Qana, walking beside her. "Alright Qana Pie! Let's go!"
Soleil then delivered a smack to Qana's backside. As Nina covered her mouth and Qana blushed.
The purple haired princess then glared at Soleil, as she started yelling again.
"You bitch! You don't touch someone's ass without their permission!"
"Well hey sorry! It was just a friendly butt Pat between girls! I've seen other guys do it all the time! It's not my fault you've got a cute butt!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
Meanwhile in Plegia……
The kings and queens were still in the throne room of Plegia.
They had two blue crystal balls that they were using. As they placed them on the table and began using them.
"I'm surprised that you possess the same kind of magic items that we do." Corrin stated as he and Camilla were using one of the crystal balls. "I thought only Leo made these."
"This is something we all decided to create after a war." Chrom said as Aversa and Lissa were using the other crystal ball. "So we could all stay in contact. Now are you sure this will work?"
Camilla nodded. "It should. We just need everyone to have their crystal ball."
"Alright! I'm contacting Lucina, and Say'ri too." Lissa stated. "We'll need to have this meeting right now!"
Meanwhile in Nohr….
"Lord Xander, the crystal ball is glowing. It may be a call." Said one of the maids, as she held the crystal ball.
Xander gave a nod. "Very well, it may be my brother. Everyone meet in the counsel room, this may be an important discussion."
In Hoshido…..
"Hey Ryoma!" Oboro ran to her husband, holding the crystal ball in her hands. "It's glowing!"
Ryoma looked at it for a few seconds, he understood. "Call the other soldiers, we'll be meeting in the counsel room."
Valm……
Say'ri stood, sharpening one of her blades.
"Sister." Yen'fay appeared respectfully, with Walhart by his side. "I believe Lord Chrom is trying to contact us."
Say'ri gave a nod as she sheathed her sword. "I understand, we must inform him of today's visit."
Ylisstol….
The second generation and third generation were cleaning up, as some of them were tying up the bandits and making sure not too much was damaged.
"We'll be imprisoning you until it is decided what will happen." Lucina told the bandits, as they all groaned and whined.
They were all making sure everything was fine, with Owain and Noire speaking with Ophelia.
Owain raised his fist and smiled. "Mere words cannot express how proud I am of you, daughter! You have proven that you are a true chosen one! The perfect one to carry on the legacy of Owain Dark!"
"I could not be happier to carry that honor, especially from the legendary hero himself!" Ophelia grinned.
Noire giggled at the two. "Y-you two are just l-like each other."
"HEY! LUCINA! MARC!"
The group turned to one of the stairs leading to a higher castle level, Morgan was running down the stairs with a crystal ball in her hands.
"The crystal ball's glowing! Someone's trying to contact us! Morgan brought the orb over to Lucina, who held it and gave her sister a nod.
"Thank you Morgan. Wait, are you feeling alright?" Lucina asked the young tactician.
Morgan nodded with slight annoyance. "Yes I'm fine! Why wouldn't I be?"
Lucina stood still for a few seconds.
"N-Nevermind."
"CHROM!!! Chrom this is important!"
The whole group turned to look outside, they saw the Duke of Rosanne himself standing outside the doors.
Virion looked extremely out of breath, as his hands were on his knees and he was breathing heavily.
"Father?!" Kjelle asked. "How did you get here?!"
Virion looked up at his daughter, giving a smile. "Ah, hello Kjelle. I came here to congratulate you. I ran all the way from Rosanne."
Kjelle gawked. "All the way here?! You've gotta be joking."
"I am not! I came to congratulate you on your relationship with Prince Marc!" Virion stated. "That technically makes Chrom and I siblings in law, you have chosen royalty!"
The group began looking at each other, as they were eyeballing in multiple directions.
Kjelle was silent for a few seconds, until she broke that silence.
"Um. Father, you must be confused. I don't know how to say this but….."
"Kjelke and I aren't dating." Marc answered. "She's dating Gerome, I think."
Virion was shocked.
"WHAT?! B-but I heard that you two have five children!"
"We'll explain later! Just get inside!" Severa exclaimed. "We think Lucy's dad is trying to contact us!"
"V-very well." Virion nodded as he followed the group inside.
He ran through a whole country in one day for nothing.
Plegia…..
"Alright. It's working." Corrin said.
"Yup! We got it to work! Now we just wait." Lissa smiled as she put her hands on her hips.
Then in a flash, many blue rectangles appeared in the air.
One showed Xander and Peri, the king and queen of Nohr.
The other showed Ryoma and Oboro, the king and queen of Hoshido.
Say'ri, the queen of Chon'sin. With her brother Yen'fay and Walhart standing at her sides.
Then Lucina and Inigo, at another one.
It was time for the meeting of the kingdoms to begin.
Meanwhile in a house…..
"Hmm hmmm hmm."
Sumia hummed as she was standing at the counter of her kitchen, stirring something in a bowl as she smiled happily.
It was night, but she still wanted to finish working on a new batch of cookies for the bakery tomorrow. Anything to help her husband.
But Gaius wasn't exactly a fan of the idea, as he put his hands on her shoulder.
"Sumy, aren't you tired? Shouldn't you go to bed and let me finish it?" Gaius asked as the clumsy Pegasus knight kissed him on the cheek.
"Oh Gaius, I'm fine." Sumia smiled. "I'm not dying sweetheart."
"Yeah you've just got my mom in the womb."
The two were spooked, as they didn't know where the unknown voice came from.
They turned to the couch near the counter, as they saw a young man wearing a black fedora and black unzipped coat.
"Hey." He said with a small wave.
The two stepped back a bit, as Sumia was slightly scared at Gaius stepped forward, hand on a kitchen knife.
"How did you get in here?" Gaius asked as he readied the knife, while William put his hands up.
"Woah woah, I'm not here to cause harm." William stated as he stood up. "Just wanted to say hi, it's been a while."
"D-do we know you?" Sumia asked.
William put his fingers to his chin. "Not really. Well, not yet. I'm William and—"
He took off his hat to show his orange hair, as Sumia and Gaius' eyes widened.
"I'm your grandson." He said as he put the hat back on. "I'm from the future, and I'm a prince of Ylisse."
"Prince? Do you know Cynthia?" Sumia asked. "I thought she was with Gerome."
"My mom? Yep." William gave a nod. "Also that was a mixup, she's with my dad. Marc."
This came as another surprise to the two.
"Blue's kid? What did Gerome do to Cynthia?" Gaius asked as he set the knife down.
William shrugged. "Dunno. But she's fine now, speaking of which I gotta go."
William picked up all of his blades, as he began walking to the door.
"W-wait!" Sumia out her hand out. "Don't go William!"
William quickly turned while he was closing the door.
"Sorry gotta go but whatever you do don't tell anybody you saw me or where I am because it's all apart of the plan and my parents'll probably pay you a visit later and make sure to give all your other grandkids some apple pie because they love your baking the most bye."
He immediately closed the door.
A few minutes later….
"So yeah, I don't think I'll meet everyone until a little later. You know what I mean, right Licht?"
William was lying on the rooftop of one of the buildings.
When at that moment, a pitch black figure appeared floating above him.
It was a pitch black and slender figure that had black wings, claws, pitch red eyes and a red mouth, as well as black demon horns.
"Yeah, whatever. But when can I meet them all?!" Licht asked as he looked down at him. "I'm your partner in crime after all! Your demon buddy! Until you die!"
William chuckled. "Don't worry, in due time my friend."
