Chapter 2
One minute after Azura was holding Corrin everyone else showed up and when Corrin he saw Takumi glaring at him with pure anger in his eyes. Corrin got off of Azura to face him with his head down trying to avoid his gaze. Takumi was about to speak but Ryoma cut him off asking him a question.
"That sword that you had was from Garon correct?"
"Yes."
"Then he must have planned this, it's not your fault. He must have known that you would be close to Queen Mikoto so he caused the explosion to kill her."
"King Garon did this… Oh gods I'm so sorry if I knew then I would have thrown it away and…"
"Your apology is meaningless! If it wasn't for you mother would still be alive but you just had to come and ruin everything, I wish we you never showed up and stayed at Nohr where you belong."
"Takimi, that's enough and it's not his fault so don't blame your brother."
"Big brother, he destroyed our city and killed our mother, I knew we couldn't trust him." After he said that Hinoka comes forward.
"He helped us defeat the Nohrians who tried to kill us after the explosion, don't you think that alone proves that he is innocent?"
"No it doesn't he has caused nothing but destruction and pain to everyone!"
"Takumi you must listen…, Corrin is your brother." Azura tries to put her hand on his back but he smacks it away.
"My mother is dead because of him. He is not my brother."
Corrin stood there hurt but it was true so he made a fist to hold in his anger to himself.
"I'm...I'm sorry everyone. I'm nothin but a monster who causes destruction. Thank you for letting me stay in hoshido but I've caused too much damage. I.. I should leave so you will never see me again."
Corrin turns around and walks away until Azura grabs his arm. Corrin turned back to see Azura grabbing his arm with her head down. Corrin tried to pull away but the grip only got tighter.
"Corrin don't be so hard on yourself you know it was King Garon not you. I know you're a good person and I know that you would never do this because you try not to hurt anyone. And besides I know your mother wouldn't want you to leave. She would say that you should stay no matter what."
"She's right you know" Yukimura walks towards them. "Queen Mikoto would not want you to leave."
Takumi gives an annoyed look to him and says, "How would you know?"
"What do you mean? Did she say something to you?" Ryoma walks up towards him with a confused look.
"I hate to deliver this news but she foresaw her own death. This isn't your fault Corrin. Garon planned this whole thing. Queen Mikoto knew she would die but she didn't know when or how but she speculated a dark force. Also look at the statue."
Everyone turns to the statue to see a golden sword on it.
"What kind of sword is that?"
"This is the divine sword Yato." Much like Ryoma and Takumi's' weapons they can only be chosen by a single person. It is said that the wielder of the sword is to bring to peace to the world.
The sword raised itself from the statue into the air from the statute and flies straight to Corrin's hand. Everyone stood there in disbelief and made comments about it but Corrin ignored them due to him being in awe of the sword. Kaze comes running to Ryoma and says, "Lord Ryoma, I have bad news. A bunch of Nohrian soldiers is gathering at our border!"
"This has gone too far. I've tried my best to not start a war but… I guess death is too good for them! Everyone to the border to get payback for the Queen!"
Everyone ran to the Hoshido's border except for Corrin and Azura. Corrin put the sword down when he noticed that Azura was in front of him.
"I don't want to kill anyone but I know that I must go so I can try and stop the war."
"Wait Corrin!" There is something you need to know about your dragon form. If you fight now you might lose control again and lose your humanity with it. That's why I have a dragonstone that can solve that problem. Can you close your eyes for a second.?"
"Sure but if it's a kiss don't you think it's too early for it" Corrin gave a wink and Azura grew bright red in response.
"No that's not what I'm gonna do!"
"I'm just kidding Azura." Corrin laughs as Azura pouts for a little bit then Corrin closes his eyes. Her necklace levitated and she attuned the dragonstone.
"All done, now you should be safe."
"Thank you Azura you've already saved my life twice so I don't know what I'd do without you."
"Oh, um…" Azura turned around to try and hide her bush from the compliment and Corrin didn't notice.
"Oh sorry didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable it's just that I feel so close to you even though we just met." Corrin rubbed the back of his head because he realized that he shouldn't have been so direct.
"No it's ok I liked the compliment and I feel very close to you too." She smiled and grabbed his hand. "Ready to go?" "Oh… um.. Yeah let's go" Azura laughed at his blushing and said, "Now we're even." They left to the border and forgot that they were still holding hands.
…
When Corrin and Azura make it they see Xander and Ryoma with their swords up ready to fight until Xander saw Corrin. When Corrin notices Xander he looks at his hand and blushed and moved his hand away before something serious would happen.
(Cutscene skip on chapter 6 until Corrin makes his choice.)
I know what my family really is… Corrin ran to Xander and said, "Xander withdraw your troops."
"What are you doing?! You're really gonna side with hoshido?"
"I've made my choice because I know that this is the right thing to do."
"I knew that they would brainwash you and I know that they are your true family but you are like a brother to me, Elise, Leo, and Camilla. We've always loved you since you came so please come back to us, brother."
"I can't go back because King Garon is a coward and liar. He planned an explosion destroy the city and to kill Queen Mikoto. He tried to kill my mother and I but she sacrificed herself for me which is why I'm even alive right now. Garon only thinks of me as a pawn who doesn't care about who he kills. If he was truly a good person he wouldn't have made that sword explode, there wouldn't be Nohrian soldiers trying to attack me after the explosion, and was willing to sacrifice me in pursuit of his agenda. He is no longer human, he is pure evil Xander. Please join me so we can make peace to the land and so there will be no more innocent lives lost like the Hoshido capital.
Xander stood there with pure anger and attacked Corrin. "This is my answer, traitor."
"Are you too blind to see the truth Xander, he doesn't care about the innocent, he lied about the peace treaty and killed the old Hoshido leader, and he doesn't show mercy on anyone. Why else did he tell me to kill the two hoshidians? Because he doesn't care about anyone but himself."
"I know there is good in him and I'm not gonna let you make lies about my own father!" Xander slashed and hit Corrin and he fell on the ground because of the blow.
They brainwashed you Corrin, they told you lies about father and want you to think that we're in the wrong. Join us Corrin there is still time."
Corrin got up putting pressure on his rib to try and stop the bleeding and said, "you haven't witnessed his destruction that he caused in hoshido but I have. Face it Xander, the father you knew is gone and if there was a reasonable way to cure him I would but there is no good left in him."
"I see… then I will end this quickly!" Corrin gets ready to retaliate and Xander swings but misses. Corrin slices him on the side and when Xander was about to swing again Ryoma comes it and blocks the blow.
"Took you long enough Ryoma, at least stand by my side when I talk next time."
"Sorry I was busy." Ryoma looks at Xander and says, "If you want to kill my brother then you will have to go through me and I don't care if you say that this is his battle because it isn't. It's my fight!"
Both sides charge at each other and all you can hear are screams of pain and swords clashing at one another. Corrin went back and offered his hand to Azura. "Can you fight by my side the same way you did after the explosion?"
"Of course Corrin." They both charge at the enemies and take out the soldiers with ease. When he fought his Nohr siblings he felt but but got over it whenever he looked at Azura as a reminder to not think about it and to take action. First was Camilla she threw her axe and it hit a little bit of Azura's arm and it bled a lot for something that barely hit.
"Azura?! This end now!" Corrin charged at her and when she shot him with magic he still ran like it did nothing to him. He then head butted the wryveron and knocked it out and she tunred back to normal and pointed his sword to her neck.
"If anyone is gonna kill me then I'm glad that it's my little brother. She grinned at him and Corrin looked away and pointed the sword away from her.
"Aren't you gonna kill me? This isn't training, this is war."
"I know but it's not the hoshidian way." Corrin sighed and took Azura with him while she had her hand on her arm.
"Are you gonna be ok?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine but don't worry about me."
He looked to see that Xander was the last one standing against Ryoma with both of them looking exhausted. Corrin runs to them and slashes his horse so it would fall to the ground. "I told you to withdraw but you didn't listen to me again." Xander didn't respond and left as his backup soldiers carried the horse. Corrin heard Sakura laugh about seeing soldiers carrying the horse.
"I'll find a way to stop their spell so I can bring you back home brother."
"Really? It should be the other way around since you can't accept the truth that Garon isn't even human."
He growled at his response and walked away. Afterwards everyone went back to hoshido to heal everyone who was injured from the battle as the town gets prepared for Queen Mikoto's funeral.
