As the figures were closing in on Achilles, three of them were knocked out by dark blasts, causing the rest to retreat.

"Don't worry about them. They'll regain their senses when they wake up." said a voice revealed to be a girl with a wand and a plushie.

"Who...are you? What's a girl doing on this battlefield?" Achilles asked.

"I'm Elize Lutus, and this is Teepo. Like you, we're not from this world. We're actually looking for our friends. Have you seen them?" Elize asked.

"I have not, but if what that woman said is true, then they might be in danger." Achilles said.

"We have to go help them!" Teepo said.

"Calm yourself. Overwhelming emotions will only hinder you in a fight. For now, we wait until they regain consciousness, and then we set off." Achilles said.

"Got it. Thanks, Mr…" Elize said.

"Achilles. And I should be the one thanking you for saving me." Achilles said.

Over to Sanji and the twins…

"Damn, that bastard was like a brick wall." Sanji said. "Probably good that Marth guy went for him while we got away."

Lianna was holding a golden shield that was given to her by her and Rowan's mother.

"Hey, what's that you got there?" Sanji asked.

"The Shield of Flames. It's been an ancient artifact in the history of our kingdom for centuries. We're supposed to take it to the Dragon Temple to the sages." Lianna said.

"Without whatever's supposed to be in those slots." Rowan said. "And this isn't the way to it, where are you taking us?"

"I'm just trying to take you two and your army to find my friends. Because of that Brick Wall of a bastard, we got thrown in different directions." Sanji said.

"Maybe it was fate that we didn't rejoin with them." Lianna said.

"Do not worry, good Sanji. I'm sure we will rejoin at some point. But for now, we must press onward." Darios said.

Rowan was looking over a ledge before he tripped over behind them without them noticing.

He was groaning as he slowly regained consciousness.

"C'mon Chrom, I mean, we have to do something! We can't just leave him here." a girl in yellow said. "Ah."she said seeing him wake.

"I see you're awake. That was a nasty fall you took. Can you stand?" a strong looking man said.

Rowan took his hand and stood. "Thanks. Who are you guys?" Rowan asked.

"The Shepherds. We're a halidom from the Kingdom of Ylisse." he said.

Prince of Ylisee and Commander of the Shepherds

Lord

Chrom

"The Halidom of where now? Never heard of it." Rowan said.

"What? How is that possible?" the girl asked.

Cleric from the Halidom of Ylisse

Cleric

Lissa

"M'lord, be cautious, he wasn't alone." said a knight in full armor who wore a butler outfit underneath and carried a huge Bronze Axe.

The Wary

Great Knight

Frederick

"Whooooa! To fast, too fast!" Lianna said running down the hill. "Don't go scaring us like that, Rowan." she said as Sanji arrived with Darios.

"Such a strange attire. Is that common in this kingdom?" Frederick asked looking at Sanji.

"Not here. I'm from somewhere else too." Sanji said. "Strange. These guys don't know me. I guess this was before we met them or something or I dunno." he thought.

"They're not from this kingdom, i suppose. We welcome you to the Kingdom of Aytolis, from where we are princess and prince." Lianna said.

"I've never heard of this kingdom." Chrom said. "But nonetheless I understand your situation."

"You're clearly capable fighters in battle. Will you lend us your strength?" Darios asked.

"Oh Chrom, we have to help them." Lissa said.

"You're right. We can't walk away from people in need." Chrom said.

"Hold on, my lord. It is very dangerous to trust mysterious strangers we have only just met." Frederick said. "Allow me to prepare a test first."

"Like some sort of defeating test?" Lissa asked.

"You may need convincing, but I will fight alongside these strangers." Chrom said.

"Yeah. Me too!" Lissa said.

"Alright then, are you all ready?" Frederick asked.

"Looks like we have no choice. Get ready, you two!" Darios said.

"Now...let us begin!" Frederick said as soldiers wielding spears were charging in.

"Spears? Swords won't do well against them." Chrom said.

"Then leave it to me! This is how a lady fights!" Lissa said hacking away at the soldiers with her axe. "Hah, this is hardly a test Federick, this is easy."

"No, Lissa, that's too far. You're surrounded!" Chrom said as sword wielding soldiers surrounded her.

"Uh…" Lissa said stepping back.

"Halt, O Villains!" a voice said as they looked to a rock to see a young blond haired man with a sword stand on top of it dramatically.

"Uh...who are you supposed to be?" Lissa asked.

"I'm your...actually my whole origin story is a bit of a mess. Let me just start my intro over. I am Owain Dark. And though my story is to remain a mystery, know that I am sworn to forever protect you." he said.

Mysterious Swordsman

Myrmidon

Owain

"Take this, villains!" Owain said leaping into the air. "Hah! Radiant Dawn!"

He tried to slice at them but in the end they remained unharmed.

"This darn sword hand...it has a mind of its own sometimes." Owain said.

"What is up with this guy?" Lissa said.

"I see Owain's as dramatic as ever…" Sanji said as soldiers were coming from behind as they were soon cut down. "Huh? Oh...you finally made it." Sanji said as Asta stood over them.

"Sorry...I had to run all the way around just to get to you guys." Asta said breathing. "But...let's get to work, huh?"

"Hm, now who's this?" Frederick asked noting his sword.

"That sword, is that pure anti magic? I've heard of it, but I never thought I would see it." Lissa said.

"Truly something to behold even with someone has magic…" Frederick said.

"Actually, I hardly since...I don't sense any magic from him at all." Lianna said.

"Nope. None." Asta said. "But I don't care. I'm here to fight!" Asta said.

"Very well. Then I will test you as well. But know that I, Frederick, will hold the line!" Frederick said wielding his axe and shield.

"Bring it." Asta said as his sword clashed with Frederick's axe.

"Such power from a single attack… I felt it through my ax." Frederick said.

"I lack magic, that much is true. So I spent all that time building up my muscles." Asta said.

"I certainly shows. I'm impressed." Frederick said as they fought.

"You should be...cause I'm gonna be the Magic Emperor of Clover Kingdom!" Asta shouted swinging the sword hard as it snapped the axe in half.

"Impressive." Frederick said. "I've seen all I needed to see. We can work together. But I still have my doubts."

"Good enought for me." Rowan said.

"You certainly took your sweet time Asta. Where are the others?" Sanji asked.

"Uh...we're encountered some...problems." Asta said. "Yeah...the whole group won't be joining right away."

"Problems?" Sanji asked.

"Warriors. Warriors from different points in time are suddenly appearing all over and attacking innocent people." Asta said.

"Who would do this?" Sanji asked.

"They keep claiming to be Deserters and a woman in a music theme dress was seen with them. She might be one of the Hobbyists." Asta said.

"I don't know who she is, but i'm not gonna kick her. But who is she?" Sanji asked.

Meanwhile, with Achilles and Elize…

"A siren tried to control you?" Elize asked.

"I did not say siren. She was a woman no doubt and her voice tried to ensnare me. Had I not tuned her voice out at the last second, I would have been hers to do as she pleased." Achilles said. "She's likely already seen the damage you did and re-ensnared those you tried to free."

"That's terrible… How could one woman be capable of something like this?" Elize asked.

"Because she has a power that isn't from this world." a voice said as a figure approached them. "I've been around these worlds for awhile now and I know what she has...a Law. Something that gives her power beyond imagination."

"And who are you to know this?" Achilles asked.

"Just a traveler like you. I'm actually looking for someone just as you. I think I might find him if I come with you." they said stepping out. The figure was a young man with short black hair wearing a white coat and holding a book with a four leaf clover on it. "A pleasure to meet you two. My name is Yuno."

"Nice to meet you. My name is Elize." Elize introduced herself.

"And I'm Teepo!" Teepo introduced.

"What a strange doll. So this is what magic without a grimoire looks like." Yuno said looking it over.

"Magic comes in many forms. Teepo helps me control my Spirit Artes." Elize said.

"I see. So he's like some kind of anchor." Yuno said. "Anyway, we better keep moving. A lot of strange things tend to happen if you stay behind in the woods at night. "Oh...the big one...you are Achilles, a warrior from the Trojan War, right?"

"Yes but...how did you know?" Achilles asked.

"While learning about these worlds, I also looked into their history and possible applications of magic. You are a pretty famous fighter. But nowhere near Asta's level." Yuno said.

"Those portals brought all of those monsters down into this world." Elize said.

"If there's anyone else like Achilles that came through them, then they're probably scared, not knowing where they are." Teepo said.

"Yes. And those are likely that woman's targets. I've seen her take advantage and turn them to her side with her voice." Yuno said. "But...maybe there are some we can still swade to our side."

"If that is the case, then we must hurry." Achilles said. "Elize, was it? Who is it you are looking for again?"

"A few friends of mine, but a few of them are from my home world. Jude Mathis and Leia Rolando." Elize said.

"Jude Mathis… Leia Rolando. Interesting names. We must find these two at once. Are you with us Yuno?" Achilles asked.

"I guess I am. This is a coincidence. The person I'm looking for happens to be travelling with them." Yuno said.

"And what's his name?" Teepo asked.

"His name is Asta. And...he's my rival." Yuno said.

"Rival, you say?" Achilles asked.

"We both have a dream. We both wanted to Become Magic Emperor, but only one of us could. Asta had no magic, but to stumble upon the Black Clover and use it effectively is something else." Yuno said.

"I guess it would make sense for you to be rivals then. But how can he be Magic Emperor without any magic?" Elize asked.

"Trust me. If you knew him like I do...you'd know he has as much as chance as I do." Yuno said.

"Like Ellie said before, magic comes in many forms." Teepo said.

"Strong words from her sidekick." Yuno said. "But now...we should keep going. Can't stay in one place too long or else we might be caught in an ambush."

"Agreed." Achilles said as the trio moved on.
