Okay, maybe you're wondering why I'm going to the world of Binding when it is supposed to be the third world, well, who says I'm obligated to make the story equal?.. I'm not interested to put Xander again for a while, also, something is gonna happen about the Omega Yato, but I prefer to keep that for the future... well, let's begin.

World of Binding Part 1

Once Kiran was free from Anna's claws, he decided it was time to confront Alfonse, but he knew he couldn't do it if Sharena was present, he waited patiently until the Askarian princess decided to go to have a talking with her friends the Ylissean princess and the Lycian queen, then stood where Alfonse could see him and gave him a hand signal to tell him to approach.

"A ver pendejo (Come here you idiot), how come is it possible you opened so many gates for her?" Kiran narrowed his eyes.

Alfonse began to rub his face, feeling again extreme shame, just like during the meeting and he answered. "That... that wench knows how to act like a desperate girl very well... she sent me so many letters... she even met me, she was crying for the love of... graa!". Alfonse's fists were very hardened, the rage was the emotion in charge of his mind right now.

"But you had to open so many gates to different worlds?... didn't the experience with the first war tell you it could be a trap?" Kiran crossed his arms.

"It did!.." Alfonse closed his eyes and began to shake his head as he felt even more shame. "But... as I said... she's too good at deceiving... those portals are opened to places where certain minerals are... we couldn't explore the whole world every time we opened a gate, we tried to discover what place contained more gold, more silver, more iron, more plumb, etc... so, as you can guess, Veronica requested me gates to those places.. "

It was a word that got all Kiran's attention, now he wasn't interested in asking Alfonse how he could be so stupid...

"Plumb... plumb... ay cabrón por supuesto que tendrían eso aquí. (Damn it, of course, they would have it here...).. mierda (shit)... mierda (shit)..." Kiran began to look around, feeling panic, he was trembling, how much plumb there was there?... how he was going to convince Alfonse to make all that material disappear?

Alfonse leaned on a wall and raised his eyebrow. "What's wrong with the plumb?... let me guess, you know something we don't?."

Kiran nodded, still watching around. "At least the plumb gas hasn't existed here, it means the amount of plumb here is not as dangerous as it was in my world 50 years ago, but considering what Romans did with plumb, I wouldn't be surprised if my own sword contains plumb..." he drew his sword and dropped it, like if he was touching shit.

"Some books, forks, helmets, sculptures, and many other things contain plumb... honestly anything here may contain it... so?." he extended his arm and left his palm up, asking Kiran to continue.

"The plumbum is like a slow poison to the human body, basically." Kiran was trying to "clean" his clothes as if he was all covered in dust.

"Slow poison?... how?"

"It, just like bacterias, can get inside your body, but it does not make you sick. It does something more... interesting, in kids it causes low intelligence, kidney damage, it delays bones growing. In adults, it can cause problems with memory, heart problems, and the most sinister of having so much plumbum inside your body if you're female... in women, it can cause miscarriages... of course, many other things can cause things like those, but it does not erase what plumbum does to the human body."

"...Miscarriages?..." Now Alfonse was feeling fear too.

"Yeah..." this thing did not go unnoticed by Kiran. "Let me guess, your mom or other women in the royal family have lost children like that before."

"Um, yes... I mean, many babies die a few times after they are born anyway... more in poor families... even commander Anna told us many of her sisters didn't grow too much" Alfonse looked away through the window. "I'm the oldest sibling... alive..."

Kiran did the same "Well, even if you have those staffs, you haven't discovered even the penicillin... even a low middle-class person in my world has more possibilities to see their children grown until the adult age than a queen in this world... well, I'm saying that considering that was the case in my world 500 years ago, perhaps here it's a little different."

"500 years?" Alfonse paid attention to Kiran again. "In just that time your world became into what you describe how it is right now?"

"Yeah, the medieval age lasted a millennium, but due to that amount of time, I prefer to call it by its third name."

"Which one is the second one?"

"The second one is middle ages, yeah, pretty weird, but the best name to describe this kind of age is the dark age."

"Dark age?.. why?.."

"Because all the scientific progress greeks got was thrown away and, for 1000 years, ignorance, theocracy, and superstitions were the things that controlled the world. The church killed countless persons who tried to continue the greeks' job... or at least give it to the people instead of keeping it in secret." Kiran rolled his eyes. "Church may have created the first "universities" but that does not change the fact knowledge that could be a problem against the church was suppressed immediately." They weren't idiots, after all, if something did not directly contradict the "sacred" texts, it could get a pass. "All those persons who opposed the church were reduced to ashes, honestly, I'm surprised you haven't done it to me yet..."

"... It.. it.. it... something like that has been happening here... but for several millennia... that's what you're saying." Alfonse crossed his arms.

"Partially, since magic is real... or at least it seems to be the case, it is not so stupid you all prefer more to pray than research." he turned to see Alfonse, Alfonse also turned to see Kiran. "But it is time to stop that... with my knowledge, and your future power as king, we can transform this world into something similar to mine but better, without corruption, in even less time... "

Alfonse... nodded. "...We must stop wasting time."

"And we still are in time to do not allow all the shit of my world to be repeated here, your kingdom must not end up like Romans as a result of plumbum or they constant conflicts due to the extensive size of their empire, a world war it is not necessary."

"And even if we do not accomplish it very well, it's worth a try." Alfonse commented.

"Correct." there were threats that could not be fought using the current technology... and he was not going to let this humanity be lazy until the moment it was already too late to attempt something...

"Maybe... if what you say about plumbum is right... maybe my mom will support you."

"I hope Poncho, I hope, but I'm afraid we both know some people are gonna be against those changes." Kiran was honestly surprised and happy that the prince was listening to him... yet this could mean he was easy to manipulate...

Kiran had to fix that in the future.

"Maybe we'll need over 15 years to get it." Alfonse sighed.

"I wasn't expecting it to be easy, Clair Patterson was in a war against plumbum for 20 years until it finally got banned from most of the products..." there were people who Kiran respected... Mr. Patterson would always be one of them. It kinda enraged him he did not receive as much recognition as other scientists... even when Mr. Patterson could be described as the easiest example of a scientific hero.

"I see." Alfonse nodded.

"What we can do now is begin to eat algae, apples, onions, and broccoli in larger quantities. They help our body to expulse plumbum and other metals."

Alfonse grimaced "Broccoli... gods.. help me... mmmh.. how you would say it?."

Kiran laughed and answered "Estoy jodido (I'm screwed up)."


Another subject that was spoken during the meeting was the fact Veronica had conquered two worlds, the world of Binding and Conquest since Xander was from that world, it wasn't a surprise, even it was kinda funny considering the name.

Anna, Kiran, and Corrin were discussing the world to liberate next, tactics and logistics were the things they talked about the most.

Their military budget had increased, allowing them to have more supplies, but Kiran remembered something he read in a book... the enemy supplies are more important, give more rewards to soldiers that steal enemy supplies, or even if they couldn't steal them, give rewards to the one who destroyed them. To weaken the enemy sometimes was more important, actually, the best tacticians won battles without even needing to fight in the first place.

According to what Alfonse explained, the world of Binding was Lilina's world, which meant Roy was the leader of the enemy army this time. It made Kiran think about a possible strategy, if the Roy from that universe also married Lilina, he could have told Roy he had captured his wife, or girlfriend, depending the time period, and request him to surrender. Unfortunately, he remembered Veronica probably would kill Roy if he refused to fight, and even if he managed to hurt Roy enough, it was kinda obvious he would have a stronger contract so he couldn't save him...

Of course, maybe he didn't need to ask him to surrender, he could request Lilina to fight by his side and be his human shield. Even if that Roy wasn't in love with her, he still wouldn't dare to hurt his what he could not help but see as his childhood friend, in the case Lilina existed in this timeline and they were childhood friends, of course, then, he just remembered the Lilina from that timeline may be fighting by Roy's side... but still, there was a possibility of him not wanting to hurt anybody who pretty much shared the girl he had met's face.

But Kiran soon realized he failed to consider his Lilina would not be exactly willing to go along with the plan... she actually had a very angry expression when he explained it to her...

"I-I don't care if he's not my Roy... I don't wanna hurt him..." if he was not her superior in this situation, Kiran honestly would have expected for her to slap him hard.

However, as a tactician, he needed to persuade her to accept doing this. Not that he was going to obligate her, but it was worth the effort of trying.

"Well, it is not like we know any other way to free him from the contract, we could kill Veronica but I doubt she's gonna be willing to let me do that. Also, well, you don't need to hurt him, just protect me and I'll do the worst part, I mean, if you refuse to hurt him even if he's not your Roy, he probably wouldn't hurt you even if you're not his Lilina."

She had to blink multiple times and grimace at those arguments. "T-t-that's a fair point but.."

"Okay okay, don't do it, I cannot oblige you." he palmed her on the shoulder. "I just wanna remember you I'm a tactician, I'm supposed to get the victory even if the methods are... questionable." he smiled nervously before shrugging.

"I-I know..." Lilina was looking at the ground.

Kiran shrugged again, he began to pedal faster to return to his place in the army, the frontal part. At the moment he was there again, he asked.

"And... why you don't use any horses to travel?." Kiran asked.

"Remember that what we have gotten is more money to get more food and better weapons. Also, horses aren't cheap, we only have one that is ours, it's the one that is transporting the cart, the rest belonged to their respective riders even before joining us." Anna explained.

"Maybe we should get more of those bikes, I mean, they don't need to be fed," Sharena commented as she looked at Kiran enjoying the travel riding his bike.

Alfonse scratched his hair "I don't think they would be very practical for fighting on them."

Kiran did the same thing that Alfonse "Well, some armies from my world began to use them, but mostly for exploring and sending messages. I don't know if battles about bikes vs horses happened. I cannot keep up with a horse using this at max speed, but I'm sure this has better maneuverability if we talk about avoiding attacks... but well... maybe healers could use them to carry more staffs and avoid enemies..." He considered the possibility... and really did not sound like that bad idea.

"Maybe it could work... by the way, take this." Anna passed to Kiran a new silver sword. "I ensured it is free of plumbum, just as you wanted"

"Excellent." he raised it happily, then he noticed a pegasus knight was decreasing her altitude until she was near to him.

"Um here it is his... telescope, sir..." the knight said, still confused about what Kiran was riding.

"Thanks," Kiran smiled as he grabbed the thing. "So, what do we have there?" he asked.

"Um, cavalry... a lot, and the terrain is flat. Although there are some small hills... there's also a red-haired boy leading the army."

"Is he the only hero?" Alfonse asked.

"Um... based on what you told me about the local heroes, my lord, I could say he's the only one present here..."

"Then he must be Roy." Alfonse nodded, crossing his arms.

"Interesting... well, then, against cavalry.. spearmen and mages and archers would be the best option against them... the rest should be behind them to protect them in case the worst thing happens." lances were just more effective at dealing with horses than anything else.

Sharena smiled and walked a little faster "I guess it is my turn... ladies first!"


The principal battle was about Sharena, Nino, Lilina, Kagero, and Virion with their bows, and the other Askarain spearman and mages soldiers against the calvary. Corrin was there in her dragon form, which made everything a little easy since horses used to be scared by that kind of monster.

Kiran and the others were behind, giving their support in case something went wrong, and while Kiran had the bike, he only used it to move himself faster to reach the point of conflict in case that was needed. For fighting, he did it on foot.

Kiran was now able to see the cavalry unit who was Roy... the weird thing was the fact Poncho explained to him Roy was supposed to be a warrior who fought mostly on foot, but, for an unknown reason, Roy wore his father's clothes and rode a horse.

At some point, a few cavalry units managed to hurt enough some spearmen. Due to that, Kiran, Alfonse, and other swordsmen took their places.

Alfonse placed his shield in front of Kiran when a spear was about to thrust into Kiran's arm. "Be careful."

Kiran, taking down said soldier then, nodded at the prince. "Y-yeah."

Kiran made a slash, killing a horse. As the man fell, Kiran cut through that man's face, then he placed his forefinger on the right part of his forehead "Siempre al cerebro de ser posible (always aim to the brain if it is possible)." he laughed.

Alfonse, who had killed another soldier grimaced. "Did you need to do it that way?"

Kiran shrugged and give a bored face. "Sorry Poncho, but Frostmourne is hungry." then he engaged another soldier.

Once Alfonse and Kiran had another of those moments of calm, the prince raised his eyebrow at him.

"You called your sword Frostmourne?.. it is a good name but..." he scratched his hair.

Kiran laughed "You wouldn't get the reference."

His face became more serious as he looked at his previous victim.

"Also, the death is most of the time instantly this way, they don't suffer."

"Hum..." Alfonse grimaced but shrugged in the end. "I guess I cannot argue against that logic..."

The battle continued like that for a while, until Roy changed his strategy, instead of the normal frontal attack, now the cavalry was trying to surround them.

"Interesting..." Kiran rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes as he ordered his brain to start working. "Mmmh..." Kiran growled as he forced himself to think better. "What should I do?... " Kiran asked himself, a few seconds after, he ordered his forces to advance towards Roy, who due to his tactic, was only protected by a few cavalry units while the others were trying to surround the Askarian army.

Kiran gained speed with his bike and was the first one to reach Roy "I guess it didn't work." Kiran said to Roy once he was in front of him. "Or maybe it did?"

Roy shrugged and sighed. Somehow, even the personality of this Roy seemed to be different from what Lilina and Alfonse explained about him.. he was more.. sad? depressed?... something like that, "I'm afraid I still have to fight you, Kiran."

"Alright, I guess Veronica told you about me. It does not matter." He raised his sword for battle. "You're going down!"

"I hope you'll forgive me for what I'm gonna do but..." he raised his sword too and his horse was about to start running. "Actually, Veronica really wants you dead, she said I would be free if I killed you. I don't want to do it but.. my contract still obligates me."

"I highly doubt that whore is gonna honor her word, but whatever." Kiran used his free hand to pretend he was making a motorcycle to make noise. "This is gonna be interesting... I guess." he began to pedal away from the battlefield, knowing he couldn't win at jousting, he actually didn't have to fight Roy, he only needed to wait until his soldiers defeated the remaining Emblian soldiers, and then it would be easy.

Of course, Roy was reaching him, even when pedaling as fast as he could.

"That... horse... is very weird, where did you get it?!." Roy yelled, preparing his sword to stab Kiran, but when he was about to do it, Kiran turned to right quickly, braking fast as he did a circle and then pedaling again, allowing him to be behind Roy.

Roy began to brak too then, but Kiran gained more speed and now he was riding by his side "It is not a horse! it's called bike!, normally I would kill your horse, but I don't think I would be willing to do something like that to a hero, so..." Kiran turned to right.

During two minutes, Kiran managed to avoid Roy, unfortunately, Roy finally was riding by his side again.

Then, both warriors began to collide their swords against each other. Technically, no one had things easy. Kiran had to raise his hand more and Roy to bend, it caused the fight to be kinda ridiculous to anybody who could see it. Kiran at least felt a relief as he only needed to pedal a few times to continue moving, since they decreased their speed once the swords battle began, but, just like in his fights against Marth, Roy hit more times than him.

"Ha!" Kiran blocked another incoming attack from Durandal... he seriously had to thank the fact he was able to ride this thing without using his hands, otherwise that giant sword would have made him half the man he used to be.

He suddenly stopped his bike by raising the backside wheel and moving it in a way that changed the direction the bike was facing. He then started to escape from Roy in direction of Sharena.

The princess quickly noticed what he was doing. Sharena used her lance to make Roy's horse trip. Once Roy stood up without his horse, he had to block attacks from Kiran and Alfonse, but once Sharena was attacking him too, his constant bleeding finally released enough dark magic for Roy to be teleported.

Kiran sat on the grass and began to rub his hair. "Carajo... at least I was able to face him by myself... I mean, he was going easy, but.. damn, Marth kicked my ass very hard that time."

Alfonse scratched his hair. "Well, Marth is stronger than Roy, and we must consider the fact he was fighting on a horse... something he has never done before... why?"

Sharena helped Kiran to walk. "Wanna get another coffee cup? don't worry, I'll get a cup free of plumbum." she joked.

Both Alfonse and Kiran laughed, then Kiran answered. "Coño (damn), yeah.."

Alfonse's face became more serious and spoke. "Certainly... we shouldn't use bikes to fight..." Kiran nodded. "Yeah, what we could do is use them to transport us all. I mean, military bikes allow individual soldiers to carry more supplies... we could stop using carts... or even steal supplies from the enemy and take them away quickly. This thing does not make much sound, it is perfect for that... mmh, now I have supplies on mind, I must invent backpacks, I've been using them since I was 3 years old and it is until now I remember them?" he facepalmed and called himself pendejo.

"Wow wow, don't worry, everybody forgets things," Sharena said with empathy, forget things... forget things, it reactivated Kiran's memory about something.

"Did he left an orb behind?." He asked.

"Oh, right, Ponchito?."

Alfonse sighed in frustration as he looked for the object.

After ten seconds, Alfonse passed a blue orb to Kiran.

"Another blue one..." he partially was disappointed there was not a new color. "Well, no matter, blue is the best color... actually... I should use it, I would still have one to analyze it."

Kiran put the orb inside Breidablik, he did not waste time and pulled the trigger.

Again, a portal was opened, curiously, another blue-haired person was expulsed from it, but, unlike Lucina, Marth or Alfonse, his hair was more light blue and he had a spear with him.

"Urgh...w-where am I?... Eirika?!... are you there?!" the man looked around, confused.

"... If we have to fight more cavalry he is gonna be very useful... who is he?."

"Ephraim." Alfonse answered, "He seems to be the king of Renais already, maybe for him, has only happened two or three years since he and his twin sister defeated the demon king."

"(El rey demonio... ¡genial!, como en Zelda! (The demon king.. great! like in Zelda!))."

"Let me explain to him everything!." Sharena ran towards Ephraim.

"He's a good tactician too," Alfonse explained.

"Perfect," Kiran commented as he made his palm collide with his fist. "Now, can we get a healer?.."


It can be weird to imagine bikes for military use, but they were very practical during the first part of the World War 1 and even during the World War 2. of course, as Kiran said, they were used more for traveling than fighting, honestly, I wasn't sure about having Kiran and Roy. fight that way... but well, there it is.

Weird seeing Roy as brave Roy, right?... let's say it is for one reason that will be explained in the next chapters.

New hero, so:

Heroes until now: Lucina, Kagero, Lilina, Nino, Corrin, Virion, Ephraim, Anna, Sharena, Alfonse, and Kiran.

Time for answers:

Artyom

1.-Maybe she will, maybe she won't.

2.-Not only it is easier to live, it is easier to stay alive for more time, in the medieval age, most of the people died without turning 50 years old, which, as you can guess, for realistic purposes, happens in this story too. I mean, magic does not seem to be able to deal with diseases, Lyon's dad, for example, he wasn't very old.

3.-At least it seems like I'm gonna be able to know if the human reaches Mars.

KiraLight-san.

... um... maybe...

DarknessLink

1.-You need to remember I explained that in this story they are technically like saiyajins, aliens, so, even if they look as if they were humans, they are not.

2.-Of course, but chromosomes contain the DNA, what happens is that, our DNA has the same amount of code as stars in a normal galaxy, all the humans share the 98.8 percent of that DNA with other humans and with monkeys, the remaining 0.2 percent is what makes you be as you are, it could sound as if it is almost nothing, but it would be approximately 200 000 000 DNA "letters", so, since they are aliens, the first life form created on their planet had nothing of our first life form's DNA, the difference of "letters" is 100%..

JP

1.-Um.. those women are my sisters, mom, aunts, and female cousins.. so... Uuugh.. I just said I'm more used to talk to women.

2.-Twin town is real, I just made a mistake, it is in Argentina, not in Brazil, I'll fix that.

3.-Because Kiran understands money only gives you happiness until a certain point.

4.-Those are just random names I got from Facebook, Sarahí was Evelyn's original name, but then I remembered we had a fight and now we hate each other, I just failed at changing the name in that part.

5.-Gustav in this timeline is dead, it is explained in previous chapters.

6.- Don't forget the other Annas okay no.

7.-I guess you know now he plans to make the change once Alfonse becomes king right?
