WHOA! HOLD THE DAMN WEAPONS!

*ahem*

I know, fina-fuckin-ly. I've been working on a few other things with DustedWithStar (Dusty) and ThatOneSelfInsertGuy (Noah) in January, so sorry for no updates! I'll try to get back on schedule ASAP, but no promises!

Well...Most of the "super secret stuff" we were working on, ending up derailing and turning into RP that was absolute crack. So yeah. FE!~~~~ Let's go!


I sat in the Shepherds' garrison down in barracks reading a book. It was a very good book. A bunch of kids are trapped in this maze and have—Right. Irrelevant. So anyway. Book. So good! If someone interrupted me right now or Ylisse was burning down for some godsforsaken reason, I'd let them die. Screw them. No one interrupt—REI! DAFUQ IS WRONG WITH YOU!

"Whatcha readin'?" She began to read the back cover.

"Don't you even fuck with me. I'll fucking end you. Your blood will splatter across the stones on the shores of the rivers of Hell."

"How about no?" She continued to read the back cover.

Meanwhile, I was having a conniption. "That's a death wish, bitch."

Rei scoffed. "Oh, I'm the—"

Noah, who was doing something with maps and those chess piece things Robin made, stood, walked over and said, "Will you both just shut up?" He then TOOK my BOOK.

THAT'S A FUCKING DEATH WISH.

"…Fuck. You," I said, reaching for a weapon. "Drop the book and you won't die a gory death!"

"What exactly is there to be afraid of? I have more experience in this place," Noah said, not cockily, because—I hate to admit this—it was fact.

"C'mon! Give it back, NoNo!—"

"Don't call me that…"

"—Can't I just enjoy happiness and peace while it lasts?"

He sighed and held out the book. "Then read quietly. I'm deciding on my plan of attack."

"Plan of attack?"

"Plan. Of. Attack."

"Oh…Yeah you don't have any chance with that. Lucas totally has you beat."

The book does not exist on this plane of existence anymore.


I'm going to go murder someone. Maybe Ricken? Yeah. He isn't—

"…Ferox in the next week. It's best that we leave today," I heard Lucas's voice echo through the corridor as I made my way to the mess hall. I peered into the hall and saw that he was talking with Chrom.

"The pegasus knights will escort you to the border," Chrom said, filling out some report or another to most likely send to Phila.

Lucas shook his head dismissively. "That isn't necessary. Basilio wouldn't want you wasting troops that could be defending the halidom."

"All right, I hope you fare well."

Lucas left the room quietly. Well, it would've been if I hadn't stopped him, leaving my hiding place and intercepting him.

"What's this about going to Ferox?"

"Oh...What is it, Chicken?" he asked, pretending not to hear what I initially said.

"Don't change the subject!" I pouted. "And don't call me Chicken!"

Lucas sighed, giving in to me because I have that power over him. "Olivia and I are going back." He and Olivia? Huh, so I was right, that is a thing now. I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy…We just met up again after years and now he's leaving me. And Olivia will have him all to herself.

Wow, that made me sound like a bitch who wants to screw with his relationship and take him all for myself. But that's not the case, I assure you; I just get overly attached to my friends. Not stalker attached, it just bugs me when I'm away from them.

Still; I couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"...Because we are." He rolled his eyes. "We can't stay here. Basilio wants us to go back with him."

Sure. Basilio is the reason you're going back…

"I'll…uh…miss you, I guess. We just met up again, and now you're leaving." He sighed loudly. "Don't you sigh at me!"

"Oh cheer up. It'll just be for a bit," he laughed, probably hoping I would as well, like I normally did. Lucas stopped laughing when he realized I was frowning. He was most likely trying to come up with something funny to say. "...Razor dildos."

I felt the side of my mouth twitch. Seconds later it turned into full blown laughter. "Pfft. Dafuq? You friggin weirdo!" I ran in and gave him a hug, muttering one of our inside jokes. "You know…don't go killing yourself because, as you know, there once was a boy named Jimmy and now he's dead."

"Awe, you care!"

In one fluid motion, I brought my knee up and kneed him in the stomach. He fell to the floor with a gasp. Gee, I sometimes forget how strong I am in his world. "Fuck you." Lucas's arm twitched violently as he was dragged away by Olivia, who came out of freaking nowhere.

Chrom stepped out of the room sometime during our conversation, holding a pile of reports. "I don't want to know what just happened."

"It's better if you just forget it for your own sanity, Princey." I eyed the reports, curious of what was in them. "So. What's next? It's getting pretty boring around here."

"There have been reports of something picking off the residents of border villages." He filed through a few of the reports. "That's the only one that really stands out. All the others are crop counts, Anna complaints—We get those on a daily basis. Nobles complaining about how they are taxed and the less fortunate aren't...etc."

I ignored the whole last part, as Chrom didn't make that out to be super important. "Something? If this something is killing people, then why aren't we there now?" This is serious, Chrom. Why are we ignoring it? People are dying.

"Robin's analyzing the report." Chrom shook his head, seeming to be just as annoyed at this as I was. "By order of the Council, all documents that don't have a seal, must be analyzed. If it's in the incorrect format, we risk being led into a trap."

The irony...

"Oh believe me…It won't be the first…" I snickered to myself, despite it being not funny at all. I can't help it if after a while, these character deaths don't sway me anymore. ...But then again, these aren't just characters in a story anymore.

"Pardon?" He raised a brow.

"Nothing! …I didn't say anything." I shook my head, then went with the first excuse I came up with. "Um…I'm gonna go bug Robin now."


I wandered the halls aimlessly—well, not completely aimlessly, I had an intention—until I came across Robin's room. The door was open, showing Robin hunched over a microscope—they have those?—muttering to himself. The smell of chemicals filled the air.

I entered without knocking, glancing around. Up against the west wall was a four poster bed, which all the Shepherds had in their rooms. It made me feel like I was in Hogwarts. Next to the bed was a nightstand that was overflowing with leatherbound books. On the opposite wall was a bookshelf that was full despite the short two months that Robin has been here. It took me years to get a full one myself. On the back wall, towards the bookshelf, was the desk at which Robin sat, test tubes placed on a rack. A blue rug was sprawled across the floor in the center of the room.

I looked over Robin's shoulder as he peered into the microscope. "Holy schnikes, Robin! I don't think making the paper into a liquid then drinking it helps!"

Robin jumped up in surprise, banging his eye into the eyepiece in the process. "GODSDAMMIT, ERIN!"

"It's a talent, Robby." I smirked, seeing that he didn't like his nickname nor was he happy at all about what just happened. "So, how're the forensics going?"

He rubbed his eye, looking over to one of the reports. "It's legit."

"...And?"

"That's it."

"Well, that's lame…" I said, disappointed, of course. Forensics science was my favorite science. I had always wanted to have that job in the NYPD. "I was hoping it'd be a real stumper."

"It was a bit hard to figure out." Robin was trying to be modest about it, at least.

"...but not hard enough for the Master Tactician?"

"Who do you think you're talking to? Vaike?" I laughed as he said that. "You should know that well enough."

"That I do, Robby, that I do."

"On the subject of Master Tactician knows best, I was thinking of pairing Sumia and Chrom." Robin said thoughtfully. "I feel as if Sumia would be able to make it a whole battle with him to protect her. We've tried with just about everyone."

I shrugged, not really liking that idea, but not knowing why exactly. "Well, that is an idea, Robin, but why not let her and Gaius pair the next time the chance arises?" They have supports in the game, so of course it'll work, yeah?

"But…" He didn't look like he liked the idea. "Chrom knows her better than Gaius does, so he would be able to protect her."

Wait...Does Robby have a crush? "Oh, I see now, Robin. You just want her to be safe because you like her."

I don't think it is Robin who has the crush…

Oh, fuck off, Aquarius.

"What? No!" He knit his eyebrows together, confused.

"Then take a risk and pair her with Gaius, then maybe I won't tell everyone!" Check and mate, Robin. Check and mate.

"Fine." Robin nodded, then wrote something into a journal that was opened on his desk. "I'll be testing pairs together in the future anyway. Perfect pairs are optimal since this has turned into full blown war. For now, I'll just put you with Chrom. He seems to keep you from falling on your sword."

"Gee, thanks, Robin. I'm not exactly useless." I thought about what had happened in the past few days. Emmeryn's assassination attempt, the preparations, training and trying to make Frederick my friend. I think I've been mostly successful with that. "I've been working on my archery skills and I've abducted Maribelle for an hour every day and forced her to teach me how to use staves while on horseback. I was thinking of making my own class."

Robin rolled his eyes. "And what would that be?"

"It's not that advanced yet. Just a sort of cavalier variation. Swords, bows and staves. I think I'll call it...Vanadis."

"Vanadis?" Robin asked. "Where'd you get that name from?"

Well, Valkyrie was already taken...Like, I know Valkyries determine life and death in a battle so a healer would make sense, but wouldn't large axes, swords, halberds or spears be more fitting? Didn't Freya ride into battle with her cats, using spears and axes and shit? Wasn't she the goddess of battle and war.

No, that is fitting. She was also associated with wealth, death, magic and prophecies.

I guess it makes sense that Maribelle is able to be a Valkyrie then...But still! Look at how much more badass that is!

It cannot be helped now. Vanadis though…? That's quite the daring move. Are you up to that?

I'll be there someday, Aquarius.

"I've just always liked the name. It's empowering. It reminds me of the goddess."

"The goddess?" Robin walked over to his bookshelf, pulling out some random book. "Hm...All right." He leafed through the pages muttering something about "Norse gods", leaving me in an awkward situation. Thankfully, Sumia knocked on the door, gaining Robin's attention.

"Um...Robin? I was wondering if you were enjoying the books I let you borrow," she asked over another pile of books. So that's why Robin's bookshelf is full.

"I'm actually reading one of them right now." He closed the book and held it up. Apparently, it was called "Legends and Myths from the Other Worlds". Interesting name.

"Oh, that's great, Robin!" Sumia smiled cheerfully.

"Any books you'd recommend?" I asked, interrupting their conversation.

"Yeah, I just bought this book from Noah." She held it up and I almost strangled her. "Apparently, it's about kids in this thing called the Maze. They live in a part of it called the Glade. It's very modern. I don't know what half of the stuff in here is, but it's very interesting."

"You got that book from Noah, right?" She nodded. "He stole that from me. It's all right, though. I already read it and only had it to keep my sanity."

"Really? Well, may I borrow it for the time being then?" At least she asked me now. That's honorable.

"Yes, of course. Just try to keep it in good condition, all right?" That is my only real modern book and I want to keep it in mint condition. What? I like the feel of an actual book, not some ebook. A modern book even more, now that we're in ye olde times!

"Oh, th-thank you!~" she said cheerfully.

"Sumia, could you take these reports to Chrom for me?" Robin handed them to the girl.

Remember how I said Sumia had a pile of books? Well, it was more like a mountain. She could barely see over the top. "Sumia looks like she has her hands full, Robin." I offered. "I can take the reports to him if you like."

He raised a brow and then just shook his head. "All right. These are important, so don't ruin them or anything." He handed me the textbook's worth of reports. I kid you not. The pile was a thick as a text book. "Oh and please stop hiding what's going on between you two. It's obvious to everyone."

"Huh?" I'm legit confused, all right! I have no idea what he's talking about. You two? "Two? Who do you mean, Robin?"

He smiled knowingly. An annoying one that said "I know stuff and you don't". "Never mind. Just get those reports to him."

"Okie dokie, Robby!" I turned and began my search for everyone's favorite blue-haired prince.

As I left I heard Sumia say, "Heh, Robin, you noticed too?"

Robin laughed. "I am the Master Tactician. I see all."


Apparently, Chrom was forced to sit through a Council meeting...which I didn't know had been going on in the Council Room, so I burst through the doors during my search through the barracks and palace. Let's just say, that had to be my most embarrassing moment here.

Normally, when someone enters a room when they aren't supposed to, they back out, muttering apologies. Well, for me this wasn't the case. I didn't give it a second thought, just stuttered like the socially awkward (to new people) person I am. Shocker...

"Chrom...Eh, um…Woops." I dropped the whole pile of reports, scurrying across the ground to pick up them. I made good time, if I don't say so myself. Though it wasn't aided by Aquarius's whooping laughter in the background. "Eh...Ahem... So Robin gave me these reports to…." At that moment I realized I was interrupting the meeting, feeling my face heat up. "Oh, gods, I'm sorry! Th-these...May help with...politics or whatever you people do here...Eh...Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry." So I did what anyone would do in that situation. I left the papers and fled the room as soon as possible.

And now what was I doing? Sulking in my room in the barracks.

"Oh, cheer up! It couldn't have been as embarrassing as that one time you..."

Well, I was trying to sulk, but Rei was bothering me. Somehow, she got in the locked door and was now standing in the center of the room. My bet is that she dealt with candy and was met with her prize.

"Oh, believe me, it's ten times worse. The whole damn council! I think they all took notes to vote for my death when the chance arises!" I clutched my head, knees drawn in, in fear.

"Erin, calm down! Stop jumping to conclusions!" Rei cried. "We've talked about this! You can't be afraid of every little thing!"

"I'm bloody terrified! Of everything. Of every outcome. Of every possible injury. Of death. I'm terrified of the world! I'm scared, Rei! What if she dies on the way to the eastern palace? What if we have to watch her die and not be able to do anything? What if...What if we all die?! What if Lucina fails? What if we fail?!"

"What are you talking about?! This is completely irrelevant! How has your embarrassment triggered this?"

"I don't know!"

...Oh, dear. I think I've accidentally triggered it.

"Godsdammit, Aquarius…" she murmured.

I've been removing every little hindering emotion since that first Risen attack on the Northroad. I may or may not have have removed that emotional guard. Well...It's more like a suppression. The emotion isn't completely removed.

"So that's why she's screaming nonsense?"

Yes.

"Can you fix it?"

Yes. It should take only a second…

"Uh...Rei?" I asked, standing slowly. "Was I just rocking around in a ball, screaming my fears to you?"

Fixed.

Rei rolled her eyes, shifting her weight. "Yeah. I'm starting to think you're going crazy. You know what they say, Aquarius's either become geniuses or total psychos."

"Gee, thanks, Rei. I'm glad you care about me so much." Leaning forward, I slid off the bed and headed towards the door. "I'm going to—"

A knock interrupted me, Stahl's voice following it. "Chrom's called a meeting downstairs in the barracks. Something about heading east."

"Dammit. I was just about to go for a nice walk…"

"Yeah. Looks like I'll have to share this food with the others…"

Rei jumped at the door, pulling it open and trying to grab whatever Stahl had in his hands. She was successful, knocking Stahl down and stripping him of his goods. They were cookies, apparently, because I heard her yell, "COOKIES!" and then they just vanished as if they never existed.

"Gods, Rei…" I sighed, watching as she stood again and ran down the hall, not even bothering to help Stahl. "Grow up, will you? ...It's no use." I extended my hand to Stahl, pulling him up. He murmured his thanks as I turned and left, waving without looking back.


"Is everyone here?" Chrom looked at the assembled Shepherds. We sat about the room in no particular order, some at tables, others on crates. Robin had the roster spread out on a table, putting checks next to names.

"Everyone's here…" he muttered, tracing his finger down the sheet, stopping on someone's name. "Wait. Where's Kellam?"

Frederick sighed at that. "It seems as if he's never here. I'll have to deal with that knight later." I heard a faint voice, turning towards where it came from, but there was no one there. I wonder…No, he's not here.

Chrom nodded, beginning the meeting. "We need to evacuate my sister immediately. The Plegian brigands at the border have been slowly advancing towards the center of the halidom. The pegasus knights have reported that they are marching in a loose formation, only noticeable to those who really watch. They're coming from the west and south, leading us to believe that they sailed around the coast and travelled on foot from there."

How is he so calm? Plegians are marching here to attack and he's calmly giving us our orders like a just king or brave commander. It was admirable, empowering. I guess that's what makes him such a good leader; one I would trust with my life.

He stood in silence, waiting for some reaction, I assume. The other Shepherds murmured to each other quietly, trying to grasp the situation. They found it hard to believe that Plegia would make a move like that? No, no. They definitely expected it. ...Then why were they not saying anything? Are they against war? That wouldn't make sense either. I guess they don't know what to say.

"All right, so what's your plan, Chrom?" Everyone looked to me and I just gave them all a "wut?" face. "Well? Don't leave us hanging. Where are we taking Emmeryn?"

"We've decided on taking her to the eastern palace, along with her most trusted advisor, the hierarch." At this, Noah snorted from where he sat in the back. That earned him a glare from Chrom. Gee, I wonder what's up with them. "You have something to say, Greenie?" Oh, he's calling him out!

"No…." he muttered. "Please. Do continue…."

Gods, what's up with you two?

"Then, and only then, we'll make our way to Ferox to request reinforcements," he went on. "After that, we'll cross the border and strike at the heart of Plegia, taking down their Mad King and ending this war once and for all." He glanced around the room briefly. "Now, I ask, will you follow me?" A cheer erupted from the assembled the Shepherds, Sully and Vaike being the loudest.

To be honest, in that moment, I didn't cheer at all. Sure, we were going to take down Plegia. Everything is fine and dandy. But think about it...This isn't what happened in the game, so our course of action may change, or it might just be encouraged when Emmeryn is taken by Plegia.

What is there to cheer for, anyway? A bunch of Plegian soldiers-forced to fight, might I add-are going to die. Their families will be left without fathers or mothers, sisters or brothers, sons or daughters. Despite my eagerness to fight, this much bloodshed and death irks me. How many more lives will I have to take? How many more dreams must I destroy?

So I just sat and offered an encouraging smile. Which probably didn't look very nice, since I cannot smile at will and have it look pretty. Chrom needed all the support and confidence possible to tackle these next two plus years of war-after the two years of peace, of course-and we're going to give it to him.

Soon it was time to head back to our rooms and pack all of our paraphernalia, basically just my pack which was all I really had, and some additional clothes. Now that I think about it, I hope the heat doesn't fry my tech, that'll just be the death of me-Okay, what am I kidding? I'm not that far gone, I can survive without technology for long periods of five minutes! I mean, years! If there's a good book handy, that is….

Random shit, check. Pack, check. Other crap, check. Robin's diary, check. Brandon's secret Cordelia plush, check. Rei's candy, check. Gaius's candy, check. Lissa's-Wait, why do I have everyone's shit?

It seems as if they've been using your nearly vacant room as storage for their possessions... What are you doing with that Fire tome?

I'm going to burn their stuff.

What? Why? You can't even use-

Watch me.

And that is how I nearly burned down the garrison.


And end~

OMG NEW FE! I have been holding out on just screaming that the whole chapter, so bear with me as I voice my thoughts. So, this Marx guy...I sure hope he isn't related to the MU/Avatar/Whatever Shit They Come Up With. I spotted him and chose him. I will never put him higher up than Prince Dork over here, though.

I like how it combines some aspects of Rome and the East, I just love the whole thing, because this combines my two favorite cultures!~ Too bad there isn't Greek culture, too. ;-; It's still beautiful and I love it. Can I say that enough? And OMG I can't wait till exactly a week from now! Majora's Mask, oh shit, this is going to go on such a hiatus if I get my hands on that MM 3DS~

*cough*

That really derailed there, sorry!~

Anyway, as per usual, don't forget to review, fav and follow, if you haven't already!~ If you find any errors in here, please tell me!~ Thanks!~

Now for some shorts that Noah, Dusty and I worked on while the site was down. We decided that I'd include it in the BTS. Also, if you don't read this, there's one thing I do recommend reading from the BTS. It was a scene that was cut, but it still is key to the story. It's a convo between Aquarius and Scorpio.

Robin: All powerful Mewtwo, please kill me.


EPIC RAP BATTLES OF AWAKENING

Cordelia: Ok, I'll start you stupid little slut.

Our skill sets are different, javelin throwing and shaking butts.

The only reason you ever got Chrom's eye

Is the fact that you bent over and cried.

How about those of us who actually tried?

Instead of those of us who cheated and lied?

Good luck keeping the title of queen,

Cuz before long you will be 6 feet under, you know what I mean?

Erin: Listen here, Ms. Perfect.

Time spent on you is hardly worth it.

I mean, look at you, always so desperate.

I am the queen, why can't you just accept it?

So sorry for your lack of common sense.

You chose to fight the girl who won't relent.

Even if you gave 1010 percent,

You cannot stop your quick descent.

Look at all time you've spent

going after some unrequited love

That sure don't apply to the above

What's it gonna be, dear?

Are you going to shed some tears?

Cordelia: Desperate? I would say I keep my calm and grace.

Unlike you, so whiny, it always puts you in last place.

Queen? What can you do, other than rely on ol' Chrom?

You can't do anything right, much less be a mom.

See, it might be your fault, why Lucina has such stupidity.

That, your issues, complaints and unreliability.

Erin: Oh, bitch, it's about to get real.

Can you take the damage I'm about to deal?

You couldn't even protect your stupid sisters.

How do expect to find a mister,

If you can't even speak your heart.

Now do you see why all your relationships fall apart?

So get off your high horse, dearie.

When I'm decrepit and weary

At least I would die with some honor

Far as I'm concerned you're a goner.

Cordelia: My death would at least command everyone's respect,

While you simply hide behind your prince like some sort of reject.

I couldn't protect those I love the most, that's true,

But it would be worse for poor little you.

You can hardly hold a sword and fight alongside your friends.

Yours would be a pathetic, lonely end.

Your daughter's a crybaby, your other one's a dumb hero.

And their mother? Not surprisingly, could be considered less than zero.

Erin: Hah! As I sing my anthem,

I bet your daughters couldn't even fathom

how much they drag the army down,

No wonder we're low on morale.

Listen here, Mother dear,

It seems as if you've confirmed their fears

They don't have faith in you, when you'd fall

at Chrom's beckon and call.

So the answer is simple, don't you see?

The army needs someone like me.

WHO WON?! WHO'S NEXT?! YOU DECIDE!

(inspired by Noah's FE version of Epic Rap Battles of History. Please support the original….adaptation. Disclaimer: I clearly have no skill in the field of rap. Noah did Cordelia's part for most of it and Dusty finished it off.)

Dusty: She ripped this off from Noah. DON'T TRUST THE MONKEYS. WE BURNED DOWN THE CIRCUS!

Thoaria: Shhh! Readers are being disturbed by your insanity.

Dusty: I'm awesome. Whatcha talking about?

Thoaria: *sigh* Nothing~

Dusty: Anyways, shameless self promotion. DustedWithStars. ...THAT IS ME WHOOP WHOOP!

Thoaria: And now for more….BTS. Dusty and Robin...They had an adventure.

Dusty: Several. Can I say several?

Thoaria: Sure why don't we call it:

Dusty and Robin Doing Random Shit Together

Robin: What the fuck?

Dusty: *surrounded by a mountain of books* This is my secret, all-powerful fort, bitch. Just try and attack me.

Robin: Right, but I need to borrow one of these...*takes a book*

*mountain of books fall down on top of Dusty*

Dusty: Godsdammit, Robin. Help dig me out.

*In a dark room somewhere*

Dusty: Gaius? Do you know why you're here?

Gaius: Because you and Robin are batshit crazy?

Robin: I don't like the attitude. Dusty? Show him what we do to disrespectful prisoners.

Dusty: *shoves candy in front of face* I bet you want this.

Gaius: I do!

Dusty: But you can't.

Gaius: NO!

Dusty: You can have it if you confess to Sumia saying these exact lines.

Robin: "Baby, you're a river of chocolate in an ocean of cream. I'm going to steal your heart on a daily basis."

Gaius: Dafaq?

Robin: SAY IT.

Gaius: But-

Dusty: For the candy! *scoots a tied up Sumia sitting on a chair to Gaius*

Sumia: They got you, too?

Gaius: B-baby, you're a river of chocolate in an ocean of cream. I'm going to steal your heart on a daily basis.

Dusty: Have a candy. ...Or not. *eats candy*

Gaius: NNNOOOOOOOOOO!

Random Zodiac Stuff because REASONS (aka some plot that is only found here!)

Scorpio: Why am I obnoxious? I'm considered to be the most powerful zodiac sign!

Aquarius: One of them, really. Leo and I are quite powerful as well.

Scorpio: NUH UH! Anyways, every time you say Leo it makes me think of that one kid from Heroes of Olympus.

Aquarius: Ah, yes, that kid of Hephaestus. Do you think they're all faring well at the camp?

Scorpio: And I can see the future! Can you see the future?! NUH UH.

Aquarius: But I can prevent it...

Scorpio: STAHP using logic! Anyways, the Zodiac reminds me of that one manga, Fairy Tail. So you should be an obnoxious, powerful brat I'm supposed to be dating-... Whoa. Disgusting.

Aquarius: The Celestial Realm was in disarray after that ordeal. We had to fix that universe, remember?

Scorpio: I was too busy watching High School Musical and Pitch Perfect.

Aquarius: As per usual...Do you do anything productive?

Scorpio: I spied on the future kids! We have Serena, Clara, Ilithyia, Lu-Lu...

Aquarius: *sigh*

Scorpio: I do lots of important stuffz! I just like to pretend I'm a stupid, obnoxious, idiot so my opponents will underestimate me!

Aquarius: But I know you, so I've seen that you can be so much stupider, Brother dear.

Scorpio: But you also know I can be a lot more intelligent, Sis. ...I regret our decision sometimes. We meddled with fate and destiny. That always has its consequences.

Aquarius: Mother ordered it. I couldn't...There was reason and you know that. I won't say I don't regret it either. It was Naga's own fault we had to step in.

Scorpio: It's just our dear siblings don't want to admit that they're afraid of disobeying those much more powerful than us. We've seen how the others ended up. You can't tell me that you want to become that, too.

Aquarius: I am not afraid! If I had seen no point, I wouldn't have agreed.

Scorpio: Everyone is afraid. Fear is the breeding ground of courage and hope.

Aquarius: Not afraid of Mother, I mean. Of course I'm terrified of what may happen.

Scorpio: Believe whatever you want, Sis. The others have never seen what you're really like, have they? Just because we're old doesn't mean we have experienced anything. Just because we have knowledge doesn't mean we have intelligence.

Aquarius: But don't you see? I have to be strong. With Leo dormant, I must. I have to smart. I have to be just. He's not here for me and I need to live with that.

Scorpio: You don't have to be anything but what you want to be. You're the one crushing yourself with burden and expectation. It wouldn't kill you to trust us. It wouldn't hurt your Host to lean on the others, too.

Aquarius: ...I can't believe I'm saying this, but I suppose...you're right, Scorpio. Your philosophy is as logical as ever.

Scorpio: HELL YEAH! No one has ever really bothered to look behind the mirror, which reflects what they need it too. That's my duty, sis.

Aquarius: Yes it is...But, you do know that we cannot confide in the others, right? Gemini...or so we suspect, is with the enemy. We do not know who is on her side.

Scorpio: Gemini. I can give you proof and evidence if you let me investigate. Tongues are looser around foolishness.

Aquarius: All right, I trust you with this, Scorpio.

Scorpio: Yuppies! I'll get the job done, like I always have. Now, ...I foresee something ominous in your future...

Aquarius: *sighs, bracing self for the norm*

Scorpio: If you don't let me visit the High School Musical universe and make Sharpay my waifu I will die.

Aquarius: I can live without you.

Scorpio: Hey! I'm your cute, awesome brother!

Aquarius: I suddenly feel ill. Maybe it's your "cuteness".

Scorpio: The ladies tend to be lovesick often around me. It's the bad boy vibe they sense, going all "veer-iooo, vvvviiiyyyr-oooo."

Aquarius: Wait till they learn about your ballet. They'll be totally "veer-iooo, vvvviiiyyyr-oooo."

Scorpio: I know! Bad boys with a sensitive side are very popular these days. And you never did tell me: Who was the guy, anyways?

Aquarius: *sweatdrop* That was sar-What guy?

Scorpio: That guy. The one you stare longingly at. ...Unless it was the ice cream man? Everyone lives for the ice cream man.

Aquarius: It most certainly was not the ice cream man. A-and...I have no idea who that guy is...

Scorpio: Surreeeeee.

Aquarius: I just sense this...Familiarity from him. A burst of courage at a single glance.

Scorpio: Like Zodiac Sign, like Host... Chromrin OTP...

Aquarius: Like...him.

Scorpio: ... My dear Aqua, this is what we call the rebound crush.

Aquarius: Explain.

Scorpio: Simple. Studies over human behavior have shown that when a person loses a significant other, they tend to be more susceptible to the charms of other people. Basically, you get more ice creams to try and find a ice cream to match the ice cream that was the best ice cream.

Aquarius: Are we thinking of the same person?

Scorpio: No.

Aquarius: It's that human. That one with...the courage.

Scorpio: Leo and Aqua~. Then Leo...fell, and Aqua found a hot guy with a six pack to ease her pain.

Aquarius: No, not that one. The other.

Scorpio: ...*face palm* Oh. And did Gemini choose her host yet? And since she's the sign of twins, will she send over twins? Isn't she a twin?

Aquarius: No, her host is not yet clear, but I have sensed her. When we were at that border with the mortal queen was the strongest. I also sensed something else...but I can't quite place it.

Scorpio: ...So, Gemini is hiding her in Plegia. Since our hosts can't travel there with such open hostilities...

Aquarius: They will. When they go to war. If it's Gemini, I don't believe she'll be on our side and hinder our efforts to end this.

Scorpio: Gemini is two faced. A twin in one body, a concept that humans couldn't grasp without physical evidence.

Aquarius: I believe that the good part of the twins is sealed away, but still fused with Host who is in control of the bad.

Scorpio: Interesting.

Aquarius: Someone with part of themselves lost...

Scorpio: Is dangerous. A fragmented soul... is worse. You can't find your 'way' with part of you left on the side Of the road.

Aquarius: Indeed. ...How long do you think it'll take? To bring him back?

Scorpio: So, either the Host will be driven insane or the balance will be restored. ...Aqua. When you lose something. ... It won't be the same. It has been through its own painful journey we would never understand. Change is often and sometimes cruel.

Aquarius: We cannot seal Vaatu with only eleven of us active. I'm not moping, I'm looking at the bigger picture.

Scorpio: Libra is balance. Wouldn't that work, too?

Aquarius: No. Only those who originally sealed him, can do it again. Libra cannot manifest Leo.

Scorpio: She's balance. She is the middle plane, the fragile equality of truth and lies. It could work.

Aquarius: ...It wouldn't...couldn't...Sorry. I'm letting my want for Leo's return get in the way. He's...

Scorpio: I'm being too harsh, Sis. You should be allowed to mourn his loss.

Aquarius: I'm sure he's out there. It doesn't feel like he's gone.

Scorpio: We are eternity. The mortals depend on us to be constant so they can point at the same familiar stars in the shifting night sky. So Leo is still here.

Aquarius: I know, but...here, here. Like...He's assumed another form.

Scorpio: Risky, even for him. Anyways, let's talk about our Hosts!

Aquarius: Go on then.

Scorpio: How the fuck did Libra choose such an uneven, crazy, unbalanced girl?

Aquarius: She may seem exuberant on the outside, but at her core, she is balanced.

Scorpio: Sunshine is weird. How...?

Aquarius: Capricorn...He's always been a bit odd, I guess, but don't write him down as such.

Scorpio: And Cheese Face. ...WHO... HIM! ... Nah, I kid. I like them all. But continue your analysis.

Aquarius: Cheese Face? Who the fuck is that?

Scorpio: Gonzales. Cordelia fanboy.

Aquarius: Despite his exterior, he is quite the genius, an honorary Aquarius...Though his handwriting could be neater and he tends to make runon sentences. With big words.

Scorpio: Ugh. His handwriting... Don't even get me started on the SI he wrote about him and Delia.

Aquarius: I hope he didn't write anything too graphic. Pisces tends to...

Scorpio: ...He's a teenage boy. ...Anyways, Sagey-peggy-chan.

Aquarius: Miyaji?

Scorpio: Sagey. Peggy. Chan.

Aquarius: To develop a closer bond with nature, upon arriving, Miyaji assumed a manakete form, though she is unable to use dragonstones, since...I don't know why Sagittarius decided that.

Scorpio: She's a Manakete? Then Sagey-Draggie-Chan. She can still transform, then.

Aquarius: Scorpio am I speaking too fast for you? I just explained it all. You got it? Okay, let's continue.

Scorpio: No, you didn't explicitly state it. Dragonstones are the common method of transforming, so- okay fine. MAH HOSTY! We burned down that one circus and released all the monkeys and threw lions-right. You were saying?

Aquarius: Virgo's Host. Violetta.

Scorpio: Oh yeah! ...THEN WHY IS SHE PRETENDING TO BE YLISSIAN?

Aquarius: She is Ylissean. She is one of the few that are native to this world.

Scorpio: ... I need to stay in touch with my family more. ...

Aquarius: That you do. Now for...

Scorpio: But my waifu calls. Often. For sing alongs. And beachside houses. And popcorn.

Aquarius: I believe that is everyone.

Scorpio: MAH HOSTY NAO.

Aquarius: *ahem* The newest addition to the "Mother Fucking Squad", as those other Hosts are calling it, seems to exhibit a craziness similar to Libra's Host. And she...

Scorpio: But she has a peggy!

Aquarius: She does. Though there also is a bit than meets the eye.

Scorpio: I know~. All hosts are innately similar to their zodiac~. SO CAN SHE SEE THE FUTURE?!

Aquarius: I'm afraid she cannot. That is your burden and yours alone. Since Apollo sealed Delphi, her powers have only reached him and you. The oracle is useless. And that Roman augur.

Scorpio: Fuck him. Anyways, I predict something bad is going to happen in 3...2...1... *herds of rampaging bulls appear out of nowhere* CALLED IT.

Aquarius: *sigh* Taurus attempting to show off his strength again.

Scorpio: In 5 this time. 5...4...3..2..1... *fishies fly everywhere*

Aquarius: Godsdammit...Pisces.

Scorpio: Sheepies. *sheeps screech and stamp pass*

Aquarius: Aries...

Scorpio: h-hey... A lion. ...*a single lion runs across*

Aquarius: ...Leo...

Scorpio: I'm, going to, I need to, start investigating now. Bye, sis!

Aquarius: Farewell, Brother.

Sometime After The Rap Battle

Erin: I'm sorry Cordelia, it was like some outside force was commanding me.

Cordelia: I am not sorry. Farewell. *leaves*

Erin: ;-; Why can't we be friends?~ Why can't we be friends…?~

Thoaria: Shh….She's lonely….

Erin: Who are you?!

Thoaria: Your mom.

Erin: ….

Thoaria: ….

Erin: ….

Thoaria: I thought it'd sound cool, okay?!

Erin: The story of my life.
