Hi again I am back. I think I'll keep the updates going every weekend from now on. When we last left off: Henry was attacked by mysterious monsters and Marth found himself in a destroyed city. Fortunately, they each found one of their old friends and are pushing forward. Let's see what happens to them next shall we?

Chapter 1: Chasing smoke

"Look—over there…Smoke!" Henry said to John, pointing at the smoke rising in the distance.

Suddenly they both heard a voice over the wireless.

"To all able-bodied soldiers receiving my voice: Assemble at the smoke. Repeat, assemble at the smoke."

"Here's hopin' there's some backup waiting for us when we get there!" John said.

Henry nodded to his friend.

More monsters awaited them in the area.

John pointed at them with his Bear Grenade. "If you stay clear of the blast, I'll lob a few explosives their way."

"I won't' need to stay clear of the blast if you watch where you aim!" Henry joked.

John fired a grenade at a two of monsters and watched them explode while Henry shoot another one down with his Eagle Rifle.

"Did you run across anyone else from the embassy guard?" John asked.

"You're the only person I've heard from since this whole thing started. I hope the others are okay…"

Marth and Ike were on their way to the smoke, prepared to see more of the enemy before they see less of it.

"Hope you've gotten stronger since we last met." Ike said to his friend. "Whatever these things are they clearly won't hesitate to kill us if we give them the chance."

"Don't worry I am ready for anything." Marth replied. "I have a rapier with me as well just in case Falchion isn't enough."

"Brought a spare weapon huh? Good so did I." Ike said revealing the giant axe known as Urvan.

Soon a bunch of monsters approached them.

The ones attacking Ike couldn't get anywhere near him before he swung his Ragnell bringing a shockwave that blew them away.

Marth deflected the projectiles launched at him from the tail of another one with his Falchion. He then noticed a purple glowing spot on its back.

Marth brought out his rapier and jumped over it before stabbing the glowing spot instantly killing it.

"It seems that Purple spots on their body are a weak point." Marth said.

Once the last of them were defeated Marth and Ike hurried onward.

"I certainly hope we find some friendly faces soon." Ike muttered. "Or at least something that can provide a challenge. I'm already starting to get sick of these soulless monsters. What I wouldn't give for a good brawl."

"It seems you were right about what you said earlier." Marth smiled. "You haven't changed at all."

"Tell me John, how is it that you didn't get caught up in that mess at the bridge?"

"Had an appointment that went long. Upgraded some of my mechanical bits." John replied. "Tell you what: We get in a real jam, and maybe I'll get a chance to show you how it works."

Before Henry replied they heard a loud smashing sound nearby.

John was the first to react. "What was that?!"

"No idea. But it could mean that there are survivors in the area! Come on!"

Following the sound eventually lead them to two swordsmen fighting off a swarm of monsters.

"Who are those two?!" John asked in surprise. "They're fending of those critters like it's a Sunday walk in the park!"

"No idea! But we should give them a hand! Come on!"

Henry shot down a monster that tried to get the man with the blue cape from behind. John, blasted a grenade to provide distance between them men and their enemies.

After the last of the group was defeated Henry walked up to them.

"Are you two alright?"

"Yes. You have my thanks." replied the man with the blue cape.

"Same here." his companion added. "But what exactly is going on here?"

"Wish we Knew." John responded. "All we know is that these things are wreaking havoc. London has certainly seen better days."

"London? Is that where we are right now?" the blue haired man asked.

"Yeah." Henry answered. "My name is Henry Fleming and this is John Henry."

"My name is Marth and this is Ike."

"We noticed the smoke and thought it might have been a signal so we decided to head toward it." Ike explained.

"We just got a call over the wireless. Whoever made that signal said to gather over there A.S.A.P."

Marth and Ike gave Henry a confused look.

"What is this "Wireless" you speak of?" Ike asked.

Henry and John looked at Ike surprised.

"Wait what?! You're kidding me, right?!" John asked. "This thing has allowed easy communication between soldiers! It's a huge advance in technology, everyone knows about it!"

Henry thought for a moment. "Marth and Ike? Thinking about it those names sound foreign. The way they dress is peculiar to. And they don't seem to know where they are…."

"Mind if I ask exactly where you two are from?"

"I am from the kingdom of Altean." Marth replied.

"I am the leader of the Greil Mercenaries." Ike said.

"Altean? Greil Mercenaries? Can't say I've heard of either." Henry said looking at both of, them rather confused.

That's when it accrued to Marth. "Could this mean that we are in another world again?"He thought to himself.

"We should probably talk about this latter." John said noticing more monsters approaching from the gate in front of them.

"Good point John. Marth, Ike are you ready? They aren't going to make it easy to get to the smoke."

"I'm ready to fight." Ike smirked.

"As am I." Marth said readying his blade.

In a flash the four forced their way through the monsters and to the gate engaging the enemy.

"Henry watch out!"

Thanks to Marth's warning Henry moved just in time to avoid getting his head cut off by a monster but was slightly cut on the arm.

Before it can do anything, else Ike struck down the creature with his mighty sword.

"Are you alright?" Ike asked the captain.

"Barely a scratch." He grinned.

"Let me see." Marth said.

Henry showed him where he was hit.

Marth took out his Falchion and held it close to the cut. Suddenly the blade started to glow. In seconds the wound was completely healed with no blood no scar or any sign of it being there.

"How'd you do that!?" Henry asked in shock.

"My Falchion can heal injuries."

"Come to think of it those weapons you two are carrying don't look like something you can just order at a shop." John admitted.

"Falchion is a legendary sword that was once wielded by my ancestor Anri to defeat the dark dragon known as Medeus." Marth explained.

Ike held up his sword. "My Ragnell is a sword blessed by the goddess Ashera and was originally wielded by Altina to vanquish Yune."

"Sounds like something out of a kid's story book." John mumbled to himself.

Henry smiled. "Well thanks Marth. Something tells me we don't need to worry too much with you two aboard."

"We are glad we can help." Marth said with a smile.

"In any case, we should get going." Ike said. "It's not much further to the smoke."

The team then went through the large gate.

Well that's the next chapter out of the way. Now don't worry fellow Fire Emblem Awakening fans Robin and Lucina will come soon =) But in the meantime. Could Marth be right about him and Ike being in another world again? What are these strange monsters? Did I leave the oven on? Find out all this (except maybe that last one.) and more next time!
