"Are you sure Robin is this way?" Lissa asked.
"Who's Robin?" Rowan asked.
"Robin is the loveliest woman next to Nami and….Oh you mean the other one." Sanji said.
"Robin is our Tactician. Unfortunately, when we arrived to this world, we got separated from him. Though we have someone looking for him." Chrom said as they saw a figure in the sky riding on a pegasus. "And there she is right now."
The pegasus landed as getting off it was a woman with long red hair. "I've surveyed the land, my lord." she said.

"What did you find, Cordelia?" Chrom asked.
"Just as we thought. There isn't a single recognizable landmark in sight. We are certainly beyond Ylisse." Cordelia said. "As for Robin, he is under attack by enemies and...one of them is Validar."
"Validar? He's supposed to be dead." Sanji said.
"With all these worlds crossing, it might not be the Validar you know." Chrom said. "Though if it is him, there is certainly trouble."
"Then we must hurry and provide aid immediately if that is the case." Frederick said.
"Alright!" Asta said as they hurried to the battle where they saw the temple being overrun with flames and enemy soldiers as Robin and his forces were being overrun.
"I don't see a winning move here." he said.

As the enemy soldiers were closing in, Cordelia rode in and cut them down.
"Robin! I have found Chrom! He is coming to our aide!" Cordelia said.
"Maybe we can pull a win here after all. Chrom, you've given me the advantage I needed." Robin said as the soldiers regained their morale.
"We need to clear a path to Robin." Chrom said.
"And how do we do that?" Sanji said.
"We cut our way through the enemy forces, duh." Asta said already starting the charge as he was cleaving through the enemies that crowded the temple.
"Such amazing strength…" Frederick said.
"Glad he's on our side." Lissa said as they made their way to Cordelia and Robin.
"Chrom! Thank the gods, it was getting a little too tedious for a bit there." Robin said.
"Uh...Chrom. I've come into some trouble." Cordelia said as archers were taking aim at her.
"The pegasus knight's worst enemy is a bow and arrow." Frederick said.
"We'd better take care of the Archers before Cordelia can get into the fight more efficiently." Sanji said.
"Just leave em to me, I'll cut em down!" Rowan said moving in for the attack. He swiftly slashed through the Archers allowing Cordelia to get a little breathing room.
"This will not stand." a voice said as mages were pouring all across the battlefield from the enemy base.
"Validar! He's sending reinforcements." Robin said.
"Then we need to deal with him head on before things get even more dangerous." Chrom said.
"Agreed." Frederick said as the army was battling all over the field before some of them reaching Validar.
"You cannot undo what is already done." he said summoning dark magic into his hands. "Now...surrender to your doom!"

Validar
"Who are you? And how did you come to command the Gristonne Army?" Darios asked.
"Why not ask your father, King Oskar? Even his own son will be spared." Validar said attacking with spells as Chrom was countering and blocking with his sword before slashing into him and knocking him back.
"It's done Validar. Begone from our sight!" Chrom said.
"Very well. I shall let you have this victory but the real fun has yet to begun." Validar said laughing before vanishing with his remaining troops.
"Who was that man...the way he looked at me, it was like he was looking right through me." Robin said.
"He may have escaped but at least the temple is safe. That's all that matters." Rowan said.
"So what exactly are you trying to do here again?" Asta asked.
"Our mother said to bring the shield of Flames to the temple." Lianna said as the bishop of the temple approach.
"So Lady Yelena is….I see. Then I suppose I best to tell you of the origin of the Shield of Flames and the Chaos Dragon, Velezark." the bishop said. "Long ago, this world faced dire threat. Outrealm portals opening up to other worlds. Monsters, Outrealm Fiends, surged forth and attacked the people."
"That's what happened in the town." Sanji said.
"It is also said that people emerged from them as well." the bishop said.
"In turn...us." Robin said.
"What happened to the Chaos Dragon?" Lianna asked.
"Legends say he was sealed away using the Shield of Flames. But with Outrealm portals opening...the Chaos Dragon may be free yet again." the bishop said.
"So what do we do?" Asta asked.
"The Shield of Flames has to be reawakened so that we may have a chance to reseal the Chaos Dragon." the bishop said. "For that, we would need the Gleamstones found in heroes from other worlds."
"Heroes? Like Chrom and the others?" Lianna asked before Chrom started glowing as a stone came from him as blue as the ocean.
"My lord?" Frederick said.
"Is that...a Gleamstone?" Owain asked.
"It has to be." Rowan said as the stone went into the shield of flames.
"So if we gather them all, we can really save our world?" Lianna asked.
"Yes, I'm sure of it. Let's find those other heroes and get those Gleamstones." Darios said as they all agreed.
"As well as reconvene with Sanji's comrades. However, since they've scattered, they can be practically anywhere in this world." Lianna said.
"Actually they'll be waiting at the Desert Arena for us. Did I not mention that?" Asta asked.
"No you didn't!" Sanji said. "You should've said something earlier instead of making us all worried!"
"Huh? Oh yeah. On the way over, I saw an army of mercenaries headed there too, lead by that Marth guy. The one in the mask." Asta said.
"Marth? Could it really be? The Hero King of legend?" Chrom wondered.
