World Of Awakening Part 1

Kiran, Evelyn, and Anna looked at the portal... the strange fact in the side of Zenith the sun shone with all its power and in the side of Awakening the night was present was both interesting and inconvenient.

Anna scratched her hair. "Well, we shouldn't enter now... we can wait until... tomorrow?"

Kiran turned to see her. "If I remember well, you said the Order Of Heroes tried to free this world before."

"We didn't success though... then Embla captured the area again."

The second Askarian tactician spoke proudly "But that's no more." then she became more serious. "However, we must ensure you won't fail again... so why did you lose the last time?"

Alfonse, who at the beginning was reluctant about getting near to the gate, heard what they were saying. He approached and commented. "Because the heroes here don't go easy on us..." then he sighed in frustration...

Evelyn's eyes went wide. "But, why?"

Anna sighed too. "Alfonse has a theory."

The prince continued watching the portal with that soulless face until he decided to talk. "When we explored this world... all the heroes were of the first generation of shepherds... and while the second generation not necessarily traveled back in time to stop Grima in this timeline... it is still possible Veronica is holding their babies as hostages in order to make them obey her... after all, if your slaves aren't cooperating even if you are a threatening their lives... why not threatening something they care more about than life in itself?"

Kiran narrowed. "So by freeing this world we're sending some babies or teenagers to the "other life"... but if we don't do it we'll also have to deal with the heroes from this world attacking Askr... and that's without considering the world of Conquest..."

"Pretty much..." Alfonse rubbed his face.

Kiran growled."Okay... I'm afraid that saving the multiverse is more important than a few persons... so just remember me to throw Veronica into a prison cell filled with at least five of your average criminals once all this is over."

All the present persons looked at him with disapproval... well, the exception was Alfonse who continued watching the portal. "Oh... do you prefer me to bury her alive? maybe we could write on her grave rip rip hooray!" he laughed. "Damn, that's really a good idea, I must write it down."

"...What the hell is wrong with you?" asked Anna.

"Um... nothing?" Kiran raised his eyebrow in confusion.

Evelyn raised his index finger at the same time her eyes denoted discomfort. "Veronica is still a little girl... that's disgusting."

"So? she's a girl that enslaves, kidnaps, and uses people as mere chess pieces..." Kiran shook his head. "Why should I care? anyway..." Kiran shrugged and then looked up to the sky in order to focus on thinking. "We should prepare to defend ourselves, it is obvious Embla will try to recover the portal and who knows if the heroes themselves are almost on the other side... if we think about it, perhaps we're stuck in the middle of two armies... I mean, Veronica didn't try that strategy the previous times but I doubt she's stupid enough to make the same mistakes over and over." operating under that assumption would only get the Order killed.

Evelyn, still uncomfortable about what Kiran said, spoke. "Well, if they attack from the portal we basically have them surrounded, archers and mages and they won't have any other option rather retreat... however, normally I would prepare a surprise assault in case the heroes try to enter our world, you know, to free them... but... the land does not help us... there's not any place where to hide ourselves around the gate."

"If only there was something that could be useful," said Anna.

An idea crossed Kiran's mind after hearing that... but he didn't respond immediately... he knew there were certain chemical compounds used for military purposes that would work for a surprise attack and he felt he needed to thank his grandfather for teaching him to produce them and detonate in a controlled manner... however... he also felt Alfred Nobel would despise him if somehow the inventor was still alive and watching all this...

"Technically... yeah... there's something... but there are two inconvenient. Firstly, the products I need to produce it aren't exactly either easy or funny to get. Even to combine them is hard and dangerous... secondly..." he shook his head. "It is so strong that it will annihilate all the heroes. I mean, it is literally used to destroy giant rocks or demolish buildings in a matter of seconds and honestly, I'd be able to sleep better at night if it is only used for those purposes. (Aunque no me molestaría tener uno en el pecho mientras abrazo a Verónica (I wouldn't care if I had one of those on my chest while I'm hugging Veronica though)."

"I see..." Evelyn sighed and shrugged. "Well, we'll just prepare a normal defense then."

"Would you mind if I let you alone at doing that for a while? there are certain details I need to take care of regarding the new heroes I summoned." Kiran commented.

"I guess the answer is no." Evelyn scratched her hair.

Anna smiled. "I'll help Mrs. Evelyn. You make sure everything else is in order."

"Thanks." then he began to walk and yelled. "By the way, tell Poncho to do something else, I know he's still depressed about what happened to Zachy... but come on, get over it!"

Apparently, this was the only thing the prince had paid attention to as he turned to see Kiran and displayed fury... but then he ignored the tactician and narrowed as he saw the portal again.

He felt the hands of his commander on his back. "Don't listen to him... I'll punish him later."

Alfonse, however, shook his head. "No... I know he's right. Even when dad got sick his last words to me were that I had to accept what happened and continue with my life... however... I just can't..."

"Well... if you want to stay here and be alone... at least lookout in case the enemy appears from that gate." Anna gave him a sympathetic smile.

Alfonse nodded. "Better I get away a little... I'll get killed otherwise."


"So you really don't want to bet?"

"No, Joshua... I lose 60 percent of the times I play any kind of game like this. It's not like it is Mario Kart or Mario Party where I am almost a god... okay no. I'm not a god but I'm still good." Kiran sighed and shrugged.

Kiran had to admit that even if Joshua was a very likable person, he really got a problem with azar games. Maybe betting was Joshua's equivalent of Jack Sparrow's love for Ron wine.

"Have you ever heard that he who doesn't risk doesn't win?" asked the mercenary, not exactly willing to lose the opportunity to bet.

"Yeah, I have. But even when I risk something I only do it when it is possible to control the most possible number of factors of the equation... I think you would love Las Vegas."

"Las Vegas?" the foreign name got the attention of Joshua.

"It's a town in the neighboring country... of my country. Yeah. it is known as the never-sleeping town or something like that. There places where to bet around all the place. I think it is even possible the most part of the economy there, is based on betting..." To say the idea disgusted Kiran would be underestimating... but well, people were people and people are shit... nothing to be surprised about.

Joshua had to admit it sounded interesting. "Is there an arena?"

"Arena? em... I don't know what you mean by that..." then Kiran realized he probably meant the classic concept arenas of Roman gladiators or something like that "Well, there are places where people can fight and gamble but... well, don't expect them to combat wielding weapons... only with their fists and it is not allowed to kill the enemy... it's called free fight... yeah."

Joshua raised an eyebrow. "I'm not sure if a rule of not killing the opponent means more fun since you can gamble as much as you want or it is more boring since I wouldn't feel any tension at all."

Shrugging, Kiran remembered something. "Well, even if I don't want to bet, I can at least try to help you to find someone who actually likes that stuff... if I remember well, Virion is willing to do that. He's the blue-haired archer."

"I see. Thanks."

Kiran said goodbye with one of his hand signals. "See ya."

The mercenary got confused for some seconds, but then he replicated the signal, said the same, and left.

Kiran continued his way. He didn't really want to interact with Joshua, he just appeared from nowhere. The person he was looking for was that blonde armored girl he summoned.

While Caeda was already trained and capable of fighting even if she wasn't as strong as her version that already had married Marth... Amelia was a different case, she was a simple recruit... basically, he could compare her with himself the day he arrived at Askr. And while the first time he had fought due to the circumstances and because he wanted to...

It didn't take too much time until he found her. Ephraim took her as an apprentice. Logical thing considering both wielded lances and apparently Ephraim had met Amelia before, even if that Amelia didn't remember the king.

He knew he just couldn't interrupt her training to talk to her, so he decided to practice a little more with the Espada Maestra. Once Ephraim and Amelia were leaving. Kiran ran after the girl and yelled her name. "Amelia!"

The blonde and the king turned to see him. "Um... were you two going to do anything else together?"

"Not really," said Ephraim.

"Okay, then... Amelia, can we talk a little?"

"Uh? sure."

The king of Renais understood he didn't need to stay. "Um, I'll see you both later."

"Bye!"

"Peace and Love!"

Unlike other heroes, including Amelia, Ephraim didn't surprise by seeing that signal as Kiran had already explained what it means. Then, both Amelia and Kiran were alone.

"So... what do you want? em..."

"Kiran, Mr. Kiran, Sr Kiran, Luigi, whatever you like to call me. I've had so many nicknames that I don't really care if I get another one... as long as it does not make me feel offended of course... and usually, for fun, I also nickname the person that nicknames me."

"I will use Kiran...but... how would you nickname me?"

Kiran placed the right hand on his chin. "Um... Amy... Amelita does not sound really good."

"Amy..." the girl clearly suffered a change in her humor as she looked down and sadly narrowed.

"... you didn't like it?"

"... It brings me back memories..." her face denoted obviously those memories were not something she did want to remember in the first place.

"...Oh... sorry."

"...It's okay."

An uncomfortable silence was present for several seconds.

"Anyway...Amelia, I was here to talk about your combat performance. Let's be honest, you're still a newbie. Your training with Ephraim has improved your skills, of course, but you're still weak." Amelia was about to say something but Kiran interrupted her. "However, if I don't bring you to a battle you won't get any experience in real combat, which would cause a paradox since you won't be able to get experience to fight in the battlefield, but that's because the experience is gotten in the battlefield itself. Due to that, I'm bringing you, but I'll be by your side, taking care of you in case something goes very wrong. Is it okay?"

Amelia's face seemed to shine after that. "Sounds great!"

"You know... now I think about it... you and Nino are pretty similar."

"Florina said the same when we met." Amelia giggled. "Actually, she said I was the second person she met that was very similar to one of her friends... if I remember well, you were the first one."

Kiran raised his eyebrow. "Are you serious?"

"However she mentioned at least I didn't look like an almost exact copy. The only difference she mentioned between you and that Mark was your eyes."

"... That explains why she thought I was him... my eyes you said?"

"Yes, Florina said Mark's eyes were brown."

...

Kiran stopped walking...

Amelia stopped, too. "Uh, what's wrong?"

"...Jaja...jaja...mjaajajajajajajajaja! ay no pinches mames! (don't be fucking kidding!)" Kiran placed his palm on his forehead as he continued laughing.

Amelia backed off a little. "Um... may I know what is so funny?"

Kiran coughed a few times to do not laugh anymore. "Well... you see... there's a certain detail... just, follow me."

Once they were in a place where Kiran had a mirror in front of himself. He placed his index fingers on his left eye.

The scene was very uncomfortable for Amelia, from her perspective it was like Kiran was trying to tear his eye out.

But once he had finished... she had to rub her own ones... Kiran's left eye was now brown!

"The thing is... my eyes are actually brown."

"B-But... how?"

"With this, it is called contact lense... in this case, its only function is to be a cosmetic... actually... since I don't have the right liquid to clean them... I will stop using them after the next month." it was a damn shame, but the reality was a bitch after all.

"Wow!" Amelia had to admit... a lense that allowed you to change the color of your eyes. That was incredible... the process to take them off was disturbing though...

However, she wouldn't want to lose the opportunity to see how she would look like with blue eyes. "May I use them?"

"Um... no, I mean, not because I don't want to lend them to you but they are designed for my eyes, it may hurt yours if you try to use them." He commented as he attempted to place the lense back into his eye.

"Oh! well, no matter... Florina is gonna freak out once she discovers this."

"Maybe, but right now that's not my priority. Anyway, when we cross the portal, I'll be waiting for you."

"Right!"


When the Order Of Heroes finally was in the world of Awakening. Their advancement was very cautious... Kiran ordered this due to three factors.

The very obvious first one was the fact he knew that, unlike previous times, he had to be even more careful about all the possible heroes around... heck, if Veronica actually had kidnaped their children it would make him ended up fighting all the heroes. Due to that, he had requested Alfonse the information of any hero since the beginning instead of waiting until the pegasus explorer gave him the details.

The second... linked to the first one, the next battle would be the first time he would face a very difficult challenge... especially considering the third detail.

In this reality, Robin, the tactician that inspired the design of his white clothes, existed. This meant better strategy on the enemy side... or at least that's what he thought.

He also would need to thank Evelyn for lending him some of her troops.

The land was principally plains, convenient for cavalry... but that's something Robin would also think about... honestly, he wouldn't be surprised if Robin sent lancers.

However, they still had an advantage.


Chrom, Frederick, Lissa, Stahl, and Sully could never say they were marching happily, no matter how much they desired to pretend nothing was happening.

Robin, on the other hand, felt guilty about all this. She shouldn't though... the Embla empire had appeared practically from nowhere... how could she have been prepared for that? how many of them would have known that there was an empire in another world able to invade the world she lived in? even worse... the army of Embla had legends, heroes from the past, fighting in their side... by the time the Ylissean army was organized, the Emblians had reached the capital and conquested it that same day.

Plegia was already too destroyed to do something about and Regna Ferox couldn't stop them, too. It seemed as if the sudden arrival of a message explaining the Emblian army guarding the bridge between two worlds had been eliminated by a different nation was a perfect opportunity to strike Embla back... but if Robin and her friends dared to such a thing... well... they and their most appreciated persons...

An Emblian spy explained to her the Askarians were approaching, a very good report about their military units. He also told her that in case she had the opportunity to kill a blonde princess, a blue-haired prince, or a tactician wearing a coat, she must not hesitate... especially the last one. for a moment she thought he was talking about her, Lissa, and Chrom...

She prepared her strategy... and while, again, she didn't want to do this... she hoped it worked.


Robin noticed cavalry in the frontal lines, as she expected. She had, however, sent cavalry too... as a fishhook. Behind the horses, the spearmen were prepared to switch in the very moment both armies collided.

Of course, there was another trick about the spearmen... they were "defending" themselves with their shields. In the first place, it would have only made sense if the enemy had a lot of archers... but secretly behind the shields, there were hidden the Emblian archers. They weren't too many in order to do not make it obvious there were more than two feet behind those shields.

Robin noticed the tactician of the other side had thought the same she had when the cavalry of their side also switched places with spearman. It made sense, she expected the tactician to be good at his job... however... an insane amount of fire began to burn the Emblians!

And also, green swords generated and fell from the sky!


Kiran sighed in relief. He got from Florina the details of Robin's plan... he loved his telescope.

He then decided to pretend he was doing the same... but due to the fact there weren't hero mages in the other army besides Robin... herself... he just hid Lilina and Nino between his own archers. Normally two mages wouldn't have done so much damage... but his summoned heroes were an exception. They were considered as legends due to nothing!

Robin may be a better tactician, he admitted it... but he had better resources and he knew how to use them.

The best part was that Lilina's fire in this field caused a lot of smoke. It wouldn't last too much time since the grass wasn't dry, it didn't really matter.

"Prepare yourself, Amelia, we're gonna kick some butts!"

"Um, yeah!"


Nino and Lilina retreated quickly. With most of the enemy spearmen dead, the Askarian ones had an opening to attack the cavalry... but they didn't, adopting a really defensive posture, they allowed the archers to initiate their arrow rain.

The Emblians weren't stupid enough to stay there and began to retreat protecting themselves the best they could with shields... however, the number of arrows they threw weren't too much... as the Askarian cavalry lead by Roy advanced towards them and took them still with the shields towards the sky and not towards them.

Roy especially fought an enemy blue knight. Both swords clashed... but Durandal, being the big sword it was, overcame that general's sword.

A vertical slash, and slash from right to left... and finally a direct attack on the stomach that, even though it didn't cross through the man's skin due to the armor, was able to take him down from the horse. Roy decided to continue advancing as Ephraim stabbed the general, dark energy expelled from his body as usual and then he disappeared.


Again, Robin couldn't have predicted this... what kind of powerful magic was that?! she was sure she didn't know about the existence of a tome that could create energy swords!

She ordered the remaining infantry to protect the remaining archers while her own mages also cast their spells. It was her turn to join the battle.

When she was around the mages, she raised her Levin sword. A powerful thunder fell on an enemy unit... and then another... and another. The faster she could do it. the better.


Kiran, of course, knew he had to stop Robin, he had to protect his troops, Ephraim could take care of Chrom easily... he would have sent Lucina to fight Chrom, too... but, again, the heroes weren't willing to hurt their loved ones (even if these were parallel versions) in order to complete the mission... at least Amelia was demonstrating she had potential to be a soldier.

But now the real question... how to stop her?! she was behind all the Emblian army and while it is obvious that fucking sword would run out of ammo... she was taking down units... persons... persons that he was supposed to bring back home safely...

Sending Virion with the help of Florina wouldn't work because her pegasus wouldn't allow him to get near because these animals only liked women... as he himself had discovered the hard way days ago.

HOW TO TAKE HER DOWN?!

An idea didn't appear... maybe this was proof he wasn't still as good a tactician as he needed to be...


Cliffhanger... :D ... wait... put those torches down... just... rela- OH MY FUCKING GOD I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!

Let's be honest... the imagination to continue this part... just didn't appear. But I still feel you deserved a longer chapter than the usual 2000 words I've been writing.

Something people make memes about is that thing of certain characters looking a lot like others in their heroes' design (Amelia and Nino, Eirika and Ayra etc) but, you know? from a realistic perspective, it does really have some sense. Have you ever heard that everybody has at least seven twins around the world? It's true (even Anna mentions it, her case is very special though... actually, I have a retcon to explain how there are Annas even in other worlds that are in different time periods... but I don't know if it is a good one, if anybody is able to discover it... you're great amigo) The word to describe it and I thank Wikipedia for telling me is: a lookalike... lookalike... seriously? I prefer the Spanish word: Sosias

Basically (at least in this story) Amelia is Nino's sosias just like Kiran is Mark's sosias. You can imagine interesting scenarios considering all this. Like dressing Eirika with Ayra's clothes in order to confuse the enemy, of course, she would have to paint her hair.

More reasons to hate Veronica! A very important part of any story is the villain... technically they are the most important if you think about it. Without a villain, there's no story in the first place (unless we are talking about a slice of life.). So the villain must be a good one. And while I admit I haven't given enough scenes to Veronica, at least when she appears she shows how cruel she is and even when she's not there, her actions are causing trouble around the worlds she conquested.

Alfonse got more time in the chapter, due to that, expect Ephraim to have that privilege in the next one. Then Alfonse again, and then Ephraim again... yeah.

Just to clarify something: Kiran is not a better tactician than Robin, he just has more resources, better units (heroes with special tomes in this case) or certain good tools to use (the telescope). if Robin had all those things, too... well, Kiran wouldn't stand a chance. This is another detail a must use in order to ensure this makes sense the most as possible. In the game is like: Duh, I can beat master tacticians easily... even though in my world I was a lazy nerd. Having a good mind is important, right. But that mind only works if you have resources (and having good ones helps a lot, having regular ones makes you think more though). In this case, Robin was facing thigs she didn't know they existed until now. Of course, she's not gonna fall in the same tricks two times.

I'll be trying to pass a very important test on the 11st day so... wish me luck? ok no. Luck has barely anything to do here. I've been studying a lot... I still feel nervous anyway.

Time to answer reviews I guess:

Blexman22:

I don't understand how both characters dying could be considered as a good ending... there's a curiosity for you. Remember when Nino learned Kiran didn't have quintessence in his body like her or any other life form she knows? well, quintessence is the base of what allows these characters to have magic powers and a soul (at least in this story). Since they also have a brain, but in our universe the brain is what creates our conscience, in order to combine both things and allow them to make any sense, the quintessence creates a copy (and I say it again to make sure everybody remembers that specific detail, a copy) of the body as a soul which can go and get inside another body, usually a baby, to reincarnate. However, the memories of previous lives are hard to get back... so... yeah. I think I don't need to explain more, right?
