Hello dear readers, its time for Nohr to... well, get wrecked... Hard.

Now first off all, any new character from this point on will be an Advanced Class, mainly because the fact that the units are so low leveled at this point in the game is just plain stupid.

Azama I can sort of forgive because his role isn't the battle field, it's the back lines being a medic.

Everyone else, not so much...

Anyway its time to see just how out matched Nohr is in this next fight, with emphasis on Lucina.

[[]]

[Lucina P.O.V.]

I knew that look Corrin and Irwin had shared at the two of them led the group forward.

"Those two are in love." I said to Severa, "No doubt about that."

"Are you sure?" Severa asked raising an eyebrow as she adjusted her Hero classes shield, "How can you tell?"

"Mother and Father shared that same look as they marched through Valm." I explained.

"Oh." Severa said nodding, "Truth be told I can see those two working out together. Both of them have Dragon's blood in them."

"Yes..." I said looking at Irwin, "The Laguz... I truly wonder just how they compare to the Manakete's and Taguel."

"Well if Kilvia overhead is any indication," Severa said pointing upward to the black winged woman overhead, "They aren't to be trifled with, and they've found ways to overcome their weakness."

"Yes." I said nodding. Unlike the Taguel or Manaketes... Or Kitsune and Wolfskins, a Laguz doesn't need to be caught without a stone of some kind, the only way to take them down is with patience... Or the the appropriate weapon

"But it's still sad to hear what Tellius's Mad King has done to them." Severa said, "He makes Gangrel look sane."

"What do you mean?" I asked as everyone began to draw their weapons.

"I'll tell you later." Severa said drawing her steel sword, keeping her Wyrmslayer and Armorslayer sheathed, "We don't need you to be distracted in this fight your highness."

"Right." I said nodding as Ryoma and Corrin finished exchanging words.

My first opponent was a Nohriah Knight, it was unusual how similar their armor is to ours, either way I pulled out the Noble Rapier I had brought with me and stabbed him with it, the blade pierced his armor and killed him almost instantly.

To my left I saw Severa pulled out an Armor Slayer and do the same to another Knight that had charged her, over head head I noticed Subaki flying in to finish off the Knight that had barely survived.

I smiled at the two, I had noticed the two were growing rather close to each other.

Camilla joined me as the four of us headed toward a fort in the mountains, a pair of Nohrian Strategists and Dark Knight's surrounding it.

'Robin could blast circles around these people, without a horse.' I thought as I cut down the Dark Knight with Falcion.

"Lucina, we'll breach the fort together!" Severa called out.

"Right!" I said as Camilla readied a Ragnarok Spell, blowing the gates off the door and the two of us charged in.

And I froze, I had a momentary flash of the Risen as I looked upon the Faceless that was in the fort. I know they looked nothing like the Risen, but still, an undead monstrosity that kills anything and everything in it's path, it shook me.

"HRRAAAGH!" I shouted pushing right past Severa and leaping into the air, coming down on the undead monstrosity, impaling my blade through it's mask. I pulled Falcion out of the monster and began to stab and slash at it repeatedly, even as it fell over dead once more I didn't stop attacking it until I had tired myself out.

I turned around looking back at Subaki, Severa, and Camilla.

Severa looked at me with a look of sorrow, being the only one who knew about what I had been through.

Subaki stared at me like I had become a savage, which truthfully I may have acted like.

Camilla was clutching her zombified wyvern protectively, and I can't blame her, truth be told I almost attacked it when I first saw it.

"Those scars still haven't healed huh Lucina?" Severa asked, getting a look in intrigue from the other two.

"No... It's still too fresh in my mind." I said shaking my head.

At that moment a General and a Strategist entered the fort, ready to attack us. However the General was struck down by a blast of cold while the Strategist was slashed in the back and fell off his horse.

"Laslow! Odin!" Severa cried out, "Please tell me you're on our side."

"Never fear dear friend!" Odin, attired as a Nohrian Sorcerer declared dramatically, "Our mighty forces have once more- LUCINA!?"

Laslow, A Nohrian Hero still hadn't noticed me, "O-Odin, what are you talking about, your cousin is..." Laslow then turned to me, "HERE!?"

"Cousin?" Camilla asked looking at Owain, going by Odin here, "I thought you told me you had no family?"

"I-I-I-I didn't want King Garon to scour the land for her." Odin stammered, "I mean no offense to your father but I could sense a dark and malicious presences about him.

I chuckled and shook my head, before walking over to my cousin and pulling him into a hug, "Still the same Odin... You're mother will freak that you've follow your father in chest wear though."

"I-is mother worried about me?" Owain whispered.

"She is, but she's got little Owain to keep her somewhat calm." I whispered back.

"Good." Owain said before looking over to Inigo, "Though I think Inigo may have a hard time with his father should we go back home."

"And why is that?" I asked.

"He proposed to his partner Peri as we left." Owain said.

"I guess that's another woman Lon'qu is going to have to get used to." I said breaking the hug at long last.

"What? No hug for me?" Inigo asked.

"Laslow I thing that would make your new wife jealous." I teased.

Inigo at least had the decency to blush, but when he opened his mouth I heard Irwin's voice instead.

"HOLY SHIT!"

[With Irwin]

"HOLY SHIT!" I shouted as I admittedly scampered behind Corrin.

First off, the two of us had split off to attempt a sneak attack on Iago, so we hadn't dealt with anyone save for the two Dark Knight's in front of us... and even then we weren't fighting them.

No, instead Merdia was there leaning on her axe was there... And her Einherjar.

Clad in pitch black armor that left no skin visible, slimmed down from the bulky Nohrian design (I.E. the shoulders were separate from the helmet and was much slimmer around the body), a y shaped visor in the helmet, a black cape with a red interior. Only one hand was occupied, with a pearl white blade that was slightly wider by the tip, with a regal golden hilt.

General Zelgious, A.K.A.

The Black Knight of Daein.

[Radiant Dawn OST- Unstoppable Destiny]

"Hope you two enjoy this." Merdia said.

One of the Dark Knight rode up to slash at the Black Knight, which normally would have been effective against a Tellian Knight, as their armor is a lot heavier than the Nohrian stuff (Enough that a Marshal can quake the ground with every step), but the Black Knight could effectively run in this armor, so him stepping away from a slash like that was nothing.

A single upward slash sent knight and horse flying, then the Black Knight spun his blade once and slashed downward, releasing a line of pure energy that killed off the other Dark Knight.

The Black Knight walked forward and reached a General, who immediately stabbed the Black knight with his Silver Lance... Which just broke off the Black Knight's armor.

"Fool." Came the voice of the Black Knight, a surprisingly soft and gentle voice actually as he raised his sword, The Legendary Alondite, and pointed the tip at the General as a blue glow emanated from him for a moment.

A five brutal slashes, an upward left, and upward right, a slash to the left, the sword raised overhead and pulled into an upward slash and a final downward slash that cleaved the General in two.

The special technique of the Black Knight, Eclipse, canceling out the enemies defense and dealing five times the damage... There is literally nothing in the world that could possibly survive the technique.

Except for Ashera, she had to be slain by her own power mixed with Yune's.

Either was I was scared.

"That's one of the strongest in Tellius?" Corrin asked, fear in her voice.

"If you don't remember to bring either an Armor Slayer or a Hammer." I admitted.

Merida looked over at us, "The path to Iago is clear." She said grinning, "Hit him in the crotch once for me."

With that she pulled her Poleaxe out of the ground and leapt at a Strategist.

"It's amazing to see just how screwed Nohr is in this fight." I said pushing through the forest with Corrin.

"What makes you say that?" Corrin asked.

"Aside from Merida and the Black Knight?" I asked, "The two Princes of Nohr have turned against them now, and you are a Dragon. If I were a Nohrian I'd have thrown my spear to the ground by now."

Corrin giggled as we found Iago hiding in his fort, after Corrin broke down the door.

[Radiant Dawn OST- Stalking Menace]

"I must congratulate you for making it as far as you have. However, it is now your time to die. With you out of the way, the world will be King Garon's for the taking. Enjoy reflecting on all your mistakes...in the afterlife!" Iago shouted.

[Iago- Sorcerer Lvl 7]

[HP: 38, Magic:22, Def:12]

[Weapon- Fimbulvetr: MT- 8]

"Can it and die coward!" I shouted leaping foward and stabbing him with my Steel Greatlance. Dealing 23 Damage to him.

Corrin jumped in right after me and finished him off by slashing him in the chest causing him to stumbled back and drop his tome.

"This...this can't be happening..." Iago gasped clutching his chest, "My plan...was perfect... I... King Garon... H-help...me..."

"No one is helping you Iago." Corrin said raising Yato, "Least of all Garon."

[+50 EXP]

[Ost End]

Corrin closed her eyes as she sheathed her sword and turned around, the Nohrian and Hosidan Royal families standing there, with the Ylisse quad standing behind them and hugging each other.

"All right, that seems to be the last of them." Xander said sheathing Siegfried.

"Xander, Leo! I'm so glad you're here!" Elise cheered latching onto Leo in a hug.

"My goodness, Elise... Do you really need to bounce around like that?" Camilla asked with a smile on her face, "...Though I'm happy to see our wonderful brothers as well. Now all four of us are together, just like the Hoshidan brothers and sisters."

"What?" Leo asked in moderate shock, "You had the entire Hoshidan royal family with you... And those thugs were still giving you trouble? I have to admit, I find that a bit disappointing."

"What'd you just say? Are you mocking us?!" Hinoka shouted cracking her knuckles/

"No, of course not." Leo said with a smirk, "I'm merely speaking my mind."

"I can already tell that there will be trouble between me and this guy..." Takumi said.

"Great." Kilvia groaned as she landed next to us, "Two assholes."

"HEY!" Leo and Tasumi shouted.

"Relax, Leo." Xander said, "We have to stop thinking in terms of Us and Them. We all made the choice to come here."

"...You're right, Xander." Leo relented, "I apologize. It's hard to get used to this, but after what happened to Father..."

"What do you mean?" Corrin asked, "Did something happen in Nohr?"

"When we last saw Father, he... He said that Hoshido and Nohr meant nothing to him." Xander said, "He commanded us to destroy both kingdoms."

"He's definitely possessed." I muttered,

"Corrin, in Izumo you said that you thought Father was being controlled. I didn't believe you then, but after seeing how Father has changed... I've decided that you might have been correct all along." Leo admitted.

"Thank you Leo." Camilla said in her 'I'm still going to kick your ass' voice, causing her brother to shudder.

Corrin. "It's true, Leo. I haven't lied to you. Our real enemy is controlling King Garon."

"I apologize for calling you a traitor." Leo said, glacing back at Camilla, whose expression had not changed, "If I had trusted you sooner, we would be in a better situation now... And Camilla wouldn't look like she's going to castrate me."

"You don't need to apologize." Corrin said, "Just having your trust now means more to me than you know."

"As for me, until now I have risked my life time and again in defense of Nohr." Xander said turning to Ryoma nad Corrin, "I have no intention of turning my back on my kingdom. But if Father is not himself, and is in fact a danger to our home... Then it is my duty to follow you and do what is best for Nohr. Corrin... I trust you. I trust that you'll remain true to your goal for a lasting peace."

"Xander..." Corrin said with a soft smile on her face, a tear in her eye.

"Then I propose a truce between our kingdoms." Ryoma said

This caught Xander by surprise, "What do you mean, Prince Ryoma?"

"You and I are similar, Xander, both in our goals and our motivation." Ryoma said, "If there is a way to bring peace to our two kingdoms, that is the cause I will support. For the sake of our sister... For the sake of the world... Let us be allies in this."

The two then grasped each other's hands in a firm handshake, a smile on both their faces

"I accept your proposal, Prince Ryoma." Xander said, "I hope that we can achieve a peaceful world once you take the crown when the war has ended."

Ryoma laughed, "I won't be taking the crown any time soon, Queen Mikoto still lives thanks to Irwin there."

"What!" Leo and Xander shouted in shock

"Ryoma and Prince Xander,working together." Takumi muttered, "I never thought I'd see it."

"J-Just make sure you don't slow us down, Hoshidans." Leo stammered.

"You don't seem to share your brother's open mind..." Hinoka admitted.

"I apologize for Leo." Camilla said, still with that sickly sweet grin, "He bears you no ill will. Don't let it worry you. We can't have you sully your pretty face with a frown."

"Um... I...I'll do my best to help everyone as much as I can!" Sakura stuttered.

"Yeah! I'm going to do the exact same thing!" Elise cheered

"Isn't this wonderful, Corrin?" Azura said, "You've managed to win over your family, blood related and not! Because of the choice you made, all of this became possible."

"Thanks, Azura... And thank you all." Corrin said, intertwining her hand with mine, "It means more than I can say for everyone to trust me.

Azura smiled, "... We'd better get going, Corrin. Now that we've secured so many allies, we should do what we came here to do. Once we reach our destination, we can tell everyone what we know."

"Please." Merida said walking into the area, "Inform us of your plan." Merida said removing her mask and throwing it aside, revealing eyes that shimmered a beautiful shade of green. A face that resonated with my memories.

[Flashback- Seven years ago]

I pulled a picture out of the photo album dad had brought out.

In that picture was Dad, his black hair, brown eyes and remarkably muscular frame surprisingly not taking the focus of the photo. Next to him was a woman with long black hair and green eyes, the muscles on her body well defined, though not to the point as dad.

"Hey Dad... Who's this woman?" I asked holding out the picture to dad.

He took if softly and smiled, "That's your mother Irwin." He admitted, "A real spitfire woman too, I've got real reason to believe I'm lucky for getting her."

"She's really pretty." I admitted, "I wish I could have met her."

Dad seemed to chuckle, "You'd love her." Dad said, "You'd love dear, sweet, strong, admittedly scary at times... My beloved Merdia."

[Flashback end]

"Merdia..." I breathed going wide eyed as I dropped my greatlance, "M-Mom?"

"What!?" Corrin shouted in shock, "I thought you said she was dead."

"That's just what his father told him." Merdia said walking over and pulling me into a hug, "Yune's breath I've wanted to hold you for so long... I recognized you instantly, my cute little Irwin."

[[]]

DUN DUN DUUUUUN!

Merida is Irwin's mother!

Credit to Spiceracksargent001 for deducing this ahead of time, and I didn't even tell him.

Now then, the full backstory will be given next chapter.

And I am so sorry this took so long to get out, hell I wanted to get this out five days ago, but I've constantly been dragged into a late night Pokemon Go session for the past five days and it really pissed me off.

The only reason I could get here to write tonight was because Pirate Fest in Greenville NC was now requiring cash to go on rides and all the people there were soaking up all the signals around there.

Anyway, I'll see you next time... Which will hopefully be soon because I'm in a mood to write this story right now.
