-Defend Hoshido

Is this the path you choose?

-YES

Corrin: Xander, withdraw your troops.

Xander: Corrin... Don't tell me you're siding with Hoshido.

Corrin: I'm afraid so. I've made up my mind. I stand with Hoshido.

Xander: I am well aware of your Hoshidan lineage. It is true that we lack common blood, but we've still treated you as kin since the day you arrived in Nohr. No matter what anyone says, you are my sibling. I know that Camilla, Leo, and Elise feel the same way. And Father will forgive you. I know it. You are of Nohr. Return to us, Corrin!

Corrin: I'm sorry. I can't go back. King Garon is a coward and a liar. I've witnessed enough of his destruction. He sent Faceless to invade a village full of people unable to defend themselves. He caused an explosion in a crowded city with no regard for innocent life. Those are the actions of a madman. Tell me. If King Garon thinks of me as family, how could he have orchestrated this attack? I could have easily been killed with all those innocent people. Queen Mikoto put her life at risk to save me. I was just a pawn. Collateral damage. King Garon was willing to sacrifice my life and many others in pursuit of his agenda. Face it, Xander. Garon is no longer human. He's pure evil. I will no longer be treated as inconsequential by the man who was meant to be my father.

Xander: I'm afraid... I don't have the answers you seek...

Corrin: Xander, please join me! Join us and help but an end to his cruelty!

Xander: I... Corrin...

Corrin: You can stop this. Please, if you just side with Hoshido...

Xander: I... I cannot. My loyalties lie with Nohr.

Corrin: Xander, you don't need to do this.

Ryoma: He's made up his mind. If that's his choice, then it's time for us to end this.

Corrin: Ryoma! Please, we can settle this peacefully.

Ryoma: What's wrong, Corrin? Lost your focus? Tossing your sword aside and dying as a martyr won't do us any good.

Xander: If you dare to take my little sibling from me, it's time for our fight to begin. Camilla, Leo, Elise! Are you ready?

Camilla: Darling, I was born ready. Let's clean this up quickly. We have some catching up to do with Corrin.

Leo: You're coming with us. That's all there is to it, Corrin. Understand?

Elise: Time to take Corrin back home!

Ryoma: Corrin has made their choice. All that remains is to end this war here. Hinoka, Takumi, Azura, Sakura! Steel yourselves!

Hinoka: They won't be taking you again.

Takumi: Nohrian scum...

Sakura: I-I'm ready...

(If Corrin is male)

Felicia: I made it! I had a feeling you'd be here, Lord Corrin. Is everything alright?

Corrin: Felicia? No, we're far from okay. Just come and join Hoshido. We need to end this invasion now.

Felicia: Join Hoshido? I don't understand, but I'm here at your side!

(If Corrin is female)

Jakob: Pardon me, Lady Corrin. It took me a while to track you down. Is everything okay?

Corrin: Jakob? No, we're far from okay. Come and help me.

Jakob: I apologize for my tardiness. I've been searching for you this whole time. Regardless, I'm here now, and I'll stand by your side.

(The battle begins. The Hoshidan royals, Corrin, Azura, Kaze, and Rinkah are playable, though no EXP will be gained if Hinoka, Takumi, or Ryoma is used)

(Xander is engaged)

Xander: What foolishness. Corrin, it's time to return home to Nohr!

(Xander is engaged with Corrin)

Xander: So, you've truly chosen to take up arms against your own brother... It's not too late for all to be forgiven. Come back to Nohr with us.

Corrin: I can't do that, Xander. I've made my decision, and I will stand by it.

Xander: Father will be upset you haven't come home... To remain loyal to Nohr, I have no other choice. I'm sorry, Corrin.

Corrin: Xander!

(Xander is defeated)

Xander: How is this possible? We must retreat! This isn't over, Corrin...

(Engaging Camilla)

Camilla: Corrin belongs to us!

(Camilla is engaged with Corrin)

Camilla: Tell me this isn't really happening, my sweet Corrin! Won't you come back home with us?

Corrin: Gods... Camilla... I wish it didn't have to be this way.

Camilla: I don't believe it...

(Camilla is defeated)

Camilla: How could you let this happen, Corrin?

(Leo is engaged)

Leo: If you attack, I will offer no mercy. I hope you are prepared to die.

(Leo is engaged with Corrin)

Leo: What are you doing? There's still time to change your mind. I'll even smooth things over with Father. Please, come back to us.

Corrin: I'm so sorry, Leo, but I can't go back. Father is dead to me.

Leo: Do you even hear what you're saying? This is madness! I suppose I have no choice but to fight you... Know that I take no joy in this...

(Leo is defeated)

Leo: You're... You're stronger than I expected...

(Elise is engaged)

Elise: I want my sibling back!

(Elise is engaged with Corrin)

Elise: Why are you doing this, Corrin? I don't want to fight you! Why don't you stop all of this and come home with us?

Corrin: I'm so sorry, Elise. The last thing I want to do is fight you, but I can't go back after what King Garon has done to this kingdom. Please... Please understand.

Elise: Corrin, please!

(Elise is defeated)

Elise: I never thought this could happen...

(The battle ends. The Hoshidans stand together)

Corrin: Is this really our future? A lifetime of conflict with Nohr?

Azura: Corrin... I can understand why you are reluctant to fight. If it would make you feel better, you can leave the fighting to me and Ryoma.

Corrin: No... Burying my head in the sand won't change the reality of the situation. I will stand with you and the rest of Hoshido. I know this is the right choice, even if it's the hardest one I've ever had to make. I have to believe that this is the path that will eventually lead to peace... I just hope nobody gets hurt on the way...

I forgot to post this one, so I'm posting it with chapter seven. Oops.

I don't have much to say here. Rip. I'm going to head out now. I hope you enjoyed!
