Well, this is the final chapter in this Fire Emblem/Super Smash Brothers crossover. I hope you'll enjoy the ending.
Just so you know, there will be some fluff and I decided not to do the alternate ending thing. I just can't please everyone, anyway. Cheepie, Stardust, I know you might want to spam me for not going with your idea to not pair Link or Ike with anyone. I apologize in advance.

Epilogue
The heroes returned from the tower and returned to their camp. Titania and Mist greeted Ike, as the rest of their allies joined them. Ranulf grinned at Ike"Hey, I heard you and Elincia are getting close again."
"Yeah, kind of" flushed the blue haired mercenary.
"Don't be too modest" smiled Zelda.
"You know, it still sounds hard to believe there are other worlds besides our own, but it sounds incredible all the same" breathed Micaiah.
"Yeah, we made some new friends and enemies as a result" said Sothe.
Ike addressed the rest of his allies"Let's head back to Melior."
At Crimea Castle, the heroes and their allies discussed recent events in the conference room. Zelda addressed Ike"Are you thinking of quitting Smash Mansion, now that you're dating Elincia?"
"Yeah, there's a lot I might end up doing in Crimea. Zelda, how are you and Link coming along?" responded the Crimean mercenary.
The Hylian princess flushed"He hasn't asked me out, yet, but I believe he'll come around. You know, it's too bad we couldn't have visited Tellius under better circumstances."
"You two can still come back with me if you want, right?" said Ike.
"If Master Hand allows it" shrugged Link.
Sanaki spole up"I assure you all of us in Tellius are grateful for your aid, but I must wonder if we can establish a formal relationship between countries in our respective universes as you put it."
"That may be difficult, our home worlds are supposed to be a secret from one another" replied Zelda.
"But we never will forget each other" smiled Micaiah.
Ike addressed Sanaki and Elincia"I will explain things to the master of the Smash Mansion universe and resign my contract. Elincia, I fear I may not have the strength to say what is in my heart, but we'll officially court each other, if everyone else approves."
"Ike" Elincia blushed.
"Ah, do not be so modest my friend, I would support her majesty no matter what" spoke Bastian.
"Heh, if you're going to become Prince Consort, or king, I'm sure either the Apostle or Micaiah can show you the ropes" said Ranulf.
Skrimir nodded"You are a great warrior, Ike, and a trustworthy friend."
Sanaki sighed"Must our affairs become common gossip?"
"Absolutely not, I'm sure everyone deserves love if they so wish for it" spoke Ephraim.
Elincia smiled"I am honored that Sir Ike and I will court, but what about my uncle? What will he say?"
"I sent a messager to him shortly after we returned. Forgive me this trespass, but I thought he should know, and I heard you two talking from outside your tent" flushed Geoffrey.
"Geoffrey... Eavedropping is discourtious as I'm sure you know. Hm, perhaps I shall read aloud the contents of a love letter you had written to her majesty before all that" mussed Bastion.
"Duke Fayre, I-I don't know where you got that, but I might read a love poem you wrote for Lucia if you do" sighed the Crimean Knight general.
Elincia rolled her eyes"Let's not bicker in front of everyone, okay? Ike, everyone, I too am happy for the aid you rendered my country. Regardless of where we all came, everyone is welcome in Crimea as long as they help keep the peace."
"We accept your gesture, Elincia" smiled Eirika.
Sanaki nodded"I approve, it never hurts to have new allies, but I fear even Begnion has little to offer a kingdom from another universe."
"You don't have to do anything special, Apostle" said Ephraim.
"Even so, we're all pretty much in each other's debt" chirped Micaiah.
Tibarn smirked"You can say that again."
Ike addressed Link"I'll just return to Smash Mansion long enough to let Master Hand know I'm quiting my contract. I don't know whether I'll return or not, as I've had almost enough trouble to last me a lifetime."
"I just hope this dosen't cause an uproar in Crimea, very few commoners have ever dated royalty." said Link.
"To never fight again would be a hard thing to ask of a warrior, but I'm sure everyone in Crimea will appreciate Ike's sacrifice to be with our fair queen" interjected Bastian.
"As you say" said Seth.
Sanaki stood up"We are once again thankful to our new allies, we will now adjourn this meeting. Ike, I hope this works out between you and Queen Elincia. If any of the Crimean Nobles give you any trouble, tell them I approved and not to forget Begnion still holds political power over Crimea."
"We will, empress" nodded Ike.
Outside the gates of Crimea, Heather wondered around until she caught sight of a certain brunette, who was currently going through his moneybag"Hey Volke, how come you weren't with us in the conference room?"
"Hmph, I recieved my pay, and I don't like large groups. Why are you bothering to talk to me?" sighed the Asassin.
The blond thief shrugged"Morbid curiosity, I guess. Actually, I wasn't feeling too comfortable in a large crowd either, I just needed to continue gathering money to support my family. What about you?"
"Why I require large sums of gold is not anyone's concern, but maybe I'll tell you for twenty gold" smirked Volke.
"As if I would pay for something so trivial" mocked Heather.
"I'm not a charity, get lost if you can't pay" sighed the Asassin, irratably.
Heather shrugged and said"Okay, I won't poke around your past. Would you mind if I tag along for a while? Between the two of us, we could make quite a lot of gold."
"I work alone" scoffed Volke.
"I understand, but I have a feeling I'll need a partner. Don't you ever feel like you need someone to help you a times?" persisted Heather.
Volke sighed heavily"Do what you wish, just don't get in my way."
Five months later, Ike had resigned from Smash Mansion and set about seeing Crimea rebuilt from the damage caused by the recent invasion, he often maked the rounds with Elincia at his side. The Crimean Nobility was in a small uproar at the news of their courting, but the couple's newfound love was unshakable.
"It's another peaceful day, huh?" said Ike, smiling.
Elincia nodded"It is thanks to you, Ike. You have saved Tellius three times, now."
"I just can't seem to get away no matter what, something about Crimea, Daein and Begnion always draws me back" breathed the blue haired hero.
The Crimean Queen smiled"Even so, I'm glad you chose to be with me this time. I wonder how everyone else is doing, sometimes. Oh, and I heard from Micaiah that Empress Sanaki and Tormod are seeing each other a lot lately."
"Ha, that's funny, I never imagined those two getting together. But somehow, they do kind of fit together" said Ike.
"Love sure has a alluring ring to it, it really dosen't surprise me that much. What's more, I heard that Deputy Commander Tanith of the apostle's guard started dating Sir Oscar" breathed Elincia.
"Titania told me the same thing, I even heard Mia has started seeing a certain orange-haired priest a lot" said Ike.
Elincia smiled as she gazed at the clear sky"Everyone has been happy, myself included, I wish everyday was peaceful and there would be no further wars."
"I feel the same way" said Ike.
Just then, Titania came up to the pair"Ike, Elincia, we need you at the fort. Mist just went into labor, Rhys, Boyd, Marcia and Rolf are there looking after her."
"Her child is about to be born? That's great, we'll be on our way" said Elincia.
The three rushed to the Greil Mercenary base, where Soren met with them"Mist is in her room, Rhys and Marcia are helping her."
"Let's go see her, now" said Ike.
The group entered Mist's room, where Rhys had just finished helping her give birth. Boyd and Rolf went into the room as soon as Rhys told them it was okay to enter. In the brunette Valkyrie's arms was a small child with blue eyes.
"Mist, congratulations" said Ike.
Mist stood up"You, Rolf and Oscar are uncles, so you are congratulated, too. Would you like to hold her? Oh, and did I mention that the baby is a girl?"
Ike shifted uncomfortably"I've never done it before."
"It's not hard" smiled Mist, showing her brother how to hold his baby niece properly.
Titania, Soren and Elincia smiled as they watched the happy family. Ike managed a smile as he addressed his sister and brother-in-law"She's cute, all right. Mist, have you and Boyd settled on a name for her?"
"We already picked one last week, I decided I will name her after our mother: Elena" smiled the Valkyrie.
Ike was astonished for a moment before saying"That's a good name for her."
"Really? Thanks" grinned Mist as her brother returned the baby to her arms.
Elincia nodded"Elena's a pretty name, I'm sure Oscar would like it."
"You bet" smirked Boyd.
Titania glanced at the blue haired hero"Ike, congratulations on becoming an uncle."
"Thanks, Titania" said Ike.
Boyd piped up"Hey, Ike, how soon are you gonna' propose to Elincia?"
"I'll get around to it, soon" shrugged the Crimean hero.
Ike and Elincia filed from the room and exited the fort. As they headed towards the nearby meadow, the Crimean Queen addressed him"Ike, if you don't mind me asking, what's that about?"
"Mist, Mia and Soren were kind of getting on my case about my relationship with you. Come to think of it, the road up ahead is where we first met, wasn't it?" said Ike.
"Yes, though I was unconcious at the time, so I don't think that counts. Ike, I should tell you that my uncle was surprised at the news about our dating" sighed the Crimean queen.
Ike shrugged"I bet, but how's Geoffrey taking it?"
"Even though he's my childhood friend and known him the longest, I'm sure he understands how I feel right now" replied Elincia.
Ike squared his shoulders, put a hand in his pocket and pulled out a bronze ring with an emerald on top. Elincia glanced at the gift she was about to recieve"Ike?"
"This may sound a bit sudden, and I'm not very good at expressing myself. Elincia Ridell Crimea, will you marry me?" inquired the blue haired hero.
Elincia blushed as she thought for a moment before nodding"I would like nothing better right now then to be with you forever. But Ike, 'prince consort' and 'king' both come with the privilage I will give you of marrying me. And how did you manage to afford such a beautiful ring?"
"Believe it or not, some of the funding I used was from the company coffers from my mercenary group. My staff officer had some of the costs covered, so I used some money from my own pocket to pay the rest of the gold needed for the ring" said Ike.
"Truly? Did Titania and Soren know?" said Elincia.
Ike nodded"I don't think they will mind too much, it was for a good cause."
"Ike" Elincia flushed. The couple wrapped themselves into a warm embrace, just after Ike put the ring on the queen's hand.
Among the trees nearby, Soren addressed Mist"Looks like he found the guts to propose to her."
"Yep, that means you and Boyd owe me five gold, Soren" smirked the Valkyrie.
Boyd sighed"I just can't win against you, Mist."
Another week later, Ike and Elincia had invited the Greil Mercenaries, the Crimean Knights and some of the Dawn Brigade to attend their wedding at Crimea Castle. A few citizens, and some of the bird and beast tribes also went to witness the pair's union.
In the castle garden, Ike stood in front of the alter, dressed in a white tuxido and a matching pair of pants. He'd kept his bandana and red cape on as he stood. Off to the side, Soren stood behind his friend as Ike's chosen best man.
As guests filed to either side of the central path, some familiar faces showed up unexpectedly: Link, Zelda, Peach, Mario, Marth, Roy, Lyndis, Eliwood, Ness, Paula, Samus and Pit.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" inquired Ike as they approached him.
"You may have left Smash Mansion, but you're not leaving our lives that easily, friend" said Link.
Ike was stunned"Really? Not to sound ungrateful, but how did you get Master Hand to let you attend? And how...?"
Zelda smiled"Master Hand did us a favor and allowed us to travel wherever we want when we're not competing in tournaments. And actually, Yune told us about this occasion, and in turn she told Micaiah. I believe she passed the news to Elincia."
"Sounds great" said Ike.
"Don't forget about us" said another voice as Eirika, Seth, L'Arachel, Rennac, Dozla, Franz and Amelia joined the watching crowd. Sanaki, Micaiah, Sothe, Tormod and Muarim also watched from the side.
Link addressed Ike"Anyway, I know it's still early, but congratulations."
While his friends went to watch with the rest of the crowd, Ike glanced down the makeshift aisle to see Elincia escorted by Geoffrey, Lucia and the green haired Prince Renning. The queen of Crimea wore an old fashioned wedding dress, which was augmented by a circlet of flowers.
'Man, she definately looks beautiful' thought Ike, watching.
Not more then a minute later, Elincia stood next to Ike in front of the priest. The man began his speech"Dearly beloved."
The pair and their guests listened while the priest went on about the occasion. The ceremony seemed to take forever in Ike's opinion until the man spoke"Do you Sir Ike, and you Queen Elincia, vow to love each other forever? In sickness and in health, for better or worse, richer or poorer, until death do you part?"
"I do" said the pair.
The priest smiled"You may now kiss."
As Ike and Elincia kissed, the man declared them husband and wife. A minute later, the pair and their guests went into the castle's great hall, where the reception took place. Renning and Soren approached the newlyweds.
"What is it?" said Ike.
The former crown prince of Crimea addressed Ike"Take good care of her."
"I will" nodded the blue haired hero.
Soren said his piece"Congrats, I hope the two of you are happy together."
"We already are" said Elincia.
Off to the side, the merchant Aimee watched'It was a beautiful ceremony, I guess Ike and I weren't meant for each other. But I still can't seem to stop thinking about him.'
Geoffrey noticed the merchant and addressed her"Something wrong?"
"I'm happy for Ike, but I wonder if I could've been his wife instead" sighed the female merchant.
Geoffrey took her hand in his"I know how you feel, I've known Elincia since childhood. Your name is Aimee, right? May I honor you with a dance?"
"I-I'd like that" smiled the merchant woman.
Mia sat next to Rhys as they shared some fruit and meat together. Not long after they finished, Rhys addressed her"You know, I was wondering if you'd like to dance."
"Sure" smirked the Trueblade.
As the different couples and newlyweds danced and enjoyed themselves, Micaiah watched alongside Sothe. Mist stood next to Boyd, holding her daughter in her arms"I wonder how interesting things are going to be if Ike becomes king?"
"Who knows? But I bet it's going to be a blast" said the Reaver, cheekily.
Nearby, Rolf went up to Marcia and asked for a dance. The pink haired Falcon Knight smiled"Oh, good gravy! I'd love too."
Tanith and Oscar had danced for a while before stopping for a drink. Eventually, the green haired knight got a bit tipsy and kissed her. Sanaki watched with some amusement as her bodyguard and the crimean knight kissed away until Tormod attempted to steal a kiss from her. Sanaki saw that and wrapped him in a tight embrace.
Ike and Elincia soon cut a large-sized wedding cake and passed it among the guests. As they all enjoyed themselves, Ike addressed Elincia"I never really imaged I'd marry you, it was a nice experience."
"I know, I just hope we'll be together for a long time to come" smiled the Crimean Queen. Renning stood to the far side watching his niece and new nephew-in-law make out after feeding each other.
"Ah, what a cute couple they make" sighed Peach. Mario nodded as he stood next to her.
Pit turned towards Samus"Hey Sam, if you're not too busy, would you like to visit my world sometime?"
"If I can find the time to get away from bounty hunting" smirked the blond bounty hunter. Dark Pit grinned as he watched the pair.

The End
Well, how was it? I hope the above ending paragraphs weren't too hard to read, I did them in Fire Emblem Style. I hope you enjoyed this fic.
Oh, and let me clear a few things up. Elena was Mist and Ike's mother, and the Elena in this chapter is named after her. Also, Ninian probably did die before the events of Sealed Sword.
Please feel free to review.
