Fire Emblem: Blade of the Planeswalker

Prologue: Adventure on the Horizon

"Yumi! Watch out!" I shouted.

Yumi had just enough time to duck as an arrow sailed over her head. Good thing I warned her in time. But, what the hell is going on? Ever since the school was covered in a strange veil, all electricity has gone out, and the phones don't work either. To top that off men wielding weapons and- I never thought I'd say this- magic, have appeared out of nowhere and started killing everyone for no apparent reason. I have seen things I saw in a Fire Emblem game. Knights, Cavalry, Archers, Mages, Fighters, Shamans... All of them killing indiscriminantly! Luckily Yumi, Seitou and I have avoided being killed, as far as I can tell. I just hope my other friends are alright.

I pulled Yumi into the room where Seitou was waiting. Me and Yumi immediately started stacking up desks and furniture against the door. As we did so, there were sounds of thumping and crashing as one of the attackers started taking the door down.

"Let's hide." Seitou quickly suggested.

All three of us found a small nook or cranny to hide, hopefully away from the eyes of the those crazy soldiers. As I curled up inside an empty textbook cupboard, I peeked out and saw the door get smashed open by the spear of a heavily armored knight. Thanks to the whim of some generous deity, the knight as well as an archer didn't find us after they looked around the room.

Well, now I suppose I should tell who I am. I, like my friends, use Japanese for my nickname, mine being Ken. The way I look? Well, I suppose I can add to that. I have pair of black sweatpants on, and I'm wearing a blue shirt with the phrase "All your base are belong to us" written in yellow on the back. My brown hair is pulled into a ponytail about a foot long. At my waist, I have a fleece jacket tied, it's pockets filled with many things, including my GBA, Nintendo DS, reading glasses and more.

As the knight and archer left, all of us waited a few moments before huddling a small corner.

"What do we do now?" I asked in a whisper.

"No idea."

That would be Seitou. He's a little bit taller than me, an upperclassman actually. Unlike me, he has his light brown hair cut short. He wore jeans and a white shirt today. Yumi an somewhat short, blond hair, she also wore jeans, but with a black shirt that said "Capture t3h b43r" on the back and as per usual had her bookbag, filled with so many things that I'm afraid to ask about.

"Running seems to be the best option." Yumi suggested.

"Of course, but what if we run into more of those wierdos?" I added.

As we heard footsteps, we ducked back into our hiding places. Another soldier looked in, shook his head, then left. The three of us popped back out.

"I know there are some real swords in the props closet in the Performing Arts office. I think that's just a few rooms away." Seitou suggested.

"Seitou, you know as much as I do that those aren't made battle-ready." I said through hushed teeth.

"If anything, it will at least give as us a chance to seem like a threat." Seitou responded, his mind starting to think into terms of strategy, like mine was.

"If we appear to be a thret, that gives them all the more reason to go after us!" I hissed.

"Quiet you two!" Yumi calmed. She looked to me. "Ken, I'm with Seitou."

I sighed.

"Fine, two beats one. But I think we should just try to run from the school."

I followed the two to the props closet where each of us got a dull-edged sword. Luckily, we did not run into anyone along the way.

"Now we run. Let's take the east entrance, near the parking lot." Seitou stated.

As we ran through the halls of the school, we had the luck of not being followed. It seemed rather odd though. Even though the three of us were faced with panic, we had been acting fairly rational and clamly enough to make tactical decisions. Well, I'm not complaining.

As we reachied the doors we fell to some bad luck. There were some what I could only describe as reguler soldiers, each holding a spear, and they were hanging around the doorway. A quick count found that there were three. I pulled Yumi and Seitou behind a wall before the soldiers could notice.

"We should take another way out." I said. I will admit, I am scared. I gripped the prop sword in my sweaty hands.

"I think we can take 'em." Seitou scowled as he went to go. I quickly yanked him back.

"Seitou, we aren't exactly an army. We're just three high-school kids with cheap weapons on hand."

"What, are you scared Ken?" Seitou taunted.

I quickly seized him by the collar of his shirt.

"What did you say!"

"Shut up you two! One the soldiers are coming!" Yumi warned.

Upon hearing this, I got into what I guess one would call a battle stance. Giving out a battle cry, the soldier thrust his spear at the nearest target: Me. Luckily, he missed me by a paper-thin margin. I responded in kind, jumping past hi extended weapon and slammed the sword against his helmet. Seitou and Yumi then joined in. We managed to knock him out in time as the other two soldiers came.

"AIIIIIYA!"

It wasen't much of a battlecry, but it seemed good. I came down on one of the soldiers hard, almost knocking him out. Then-

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

My leg. It hurt. BAD. I felt the wound. Maybe i won't be as bad as I think it is...

... Is this blood... mine? Is that Yumi? What is she saying? I can't hear her... The light... everything looks... so much... darker...

The soldiers are knocked out, and the two looked at Ken, who had fallen to the ground. Just as Seitou and Yumi got to him, he was already looking at his hand, covered in his own blood. And his eyes... They looked distant. Lost.

"Ken! Wake up!" Yumi tried calling to him as he started to droop.

"Come on, we'll have to carry him out of here. We can try to patch him once we're safe." Seitou spoke.

"Hold on!" Yumi said back.

Thinking quickly, she took some cloth from her bag and rapped it around the wound. Then, both of them carried the unconcious Ken outside.

As Ken had noted before, there was a strange veil covering the circular area of the school. As they approached the veil they found they couldn't go any farther than it.

"Damnit!" Seitou exclaimed.

"So, your the ones who have been hiding with the fledgling planeswalker." a deep voice boomed behindthe teenagers.

Yumi and Seitou looked to find the voice's owner. The person appeared to be a rather malicious looking young man about a few years older than them. He had yellow eyes and long, untamed red hair. He wore a heavy suit of armor, but his pace didn't seem to be inhibited by it. He carried a sword in his hand.

"Who are you!" Yumi demanded, her prop sword up in defense. The young man swung his own sword at Yumi's and smashed the cheap weapon out of her hands.

"Me? You have never heard of me?" he spoke "I am Prince Imayuka, soon king of the multiverse, destined wielder of the Blade of the Planewalker!"

Ken stirred slightly.

"Or at least, I will wield it once I get my hands on him." Imayuka said with a smirk.

Seitou and Yumi stood infront of Ken.

"Why exactly do you want Ken?" Seitou asked.

"As if I would tell you fools."

Seitou and Yumi tensed as Imayuka slowly stepped forward.

"And if you hand him over right now, I'll consider sparring your lives."

However, as the prince said this, Ken's opening eyes began to glow.

"What!" Imayuka exclaimed.

As Ken's eyes glowed, small white holes developed in the ground.

"What's happening!" a scared Yumi asked.

The holes eventully developed into full-fledged portals, pulling in Ken, Yumi, and Seitou.

I felt a strange force flowing thourgh me as I saw that armored person approach me... I knew then I would be running... Running far away from him...

I can feel myself waking up... Yumi... Seitou... They're drifting apart from me! I opened my eyes wide, finding myself floating in the middle of some white space. Yumi and Seitou, I can see them! Their floating away!

"Yumi! Seitou!" I tried calling out.

It was not worth doing. I felt sleepiness invading my senses again... hopefully... I will... see them... soon...
