Okay fine! So, I lied there will be updates between the weekends too! Yeah, I noticed that I've written further on ahead then I thought and that with the amount of chapters this story will need to cover the whole game if I only updated once a week then the story would be finished sometime in the middle of 2017. Thought I could probably just put more in each chapter…Anyway when we last left off: Henry and John meet two mysterious warriors named Marth and Ike who have no idea where they are. What will happen to them? Let's find out!

Chapter 2: Awakening

Once the team passed through the gate they saw a building with the smoke coming from right behind it. However, they were immediately greeted by more monsters.

"I'm glad we teamed up." Henry said looking at his friends. "We stand a better chance of getting out of this together."

"What am I, your babysitter?" John joked.

"Still this isn't going to be easy." Marth said looking at the enemies around them.

"Don't worry. We can do this." Ike said with a reassuring smile.

Henry noticed some explosive barrels near some of the monsters.

"I got an idea! See those containers? Aim for the ones that are close to them!"

Ike took a mighty swing with his Ragnell creating a shockwave that crashed into barrel which to his surprise exploded along with the monsters.

"Whoa! What was in that thing?!"

"Explosive material." Henry explained. "Probably was meant for construction."

"I noticed that the purple spots on their bodies seem to be some kind of weak point." Marth explained.

With Henry's plain and Marth's information the group had no problem dealing with the monsters. One by one Henry and John shoot down the creatures and Marth and Ike cut them down with their swords.

After the team finished off the rest of the monsters Henry looked around the surrounding area. It was a short walk to the building but he knew there were many places the monsters could be hiding in.

"Listen close everyone. We're going to approach slowly so we don't get ambushed and killed. Check all you're surrounding for where the enemy could be hiding."

As they approached the building Ike heard a rustling sound from a bush. He immediately turned around and slashed through it and the creature hiding in it with Ragnell.

"The enemy is upon us!" he warned.

More monsters appeared from their hiding places.

Ike took out his Urvan axe and struck down two of them at once.

"It was you or me."

John blasted two more away with his grenade launcher.

"Oh yeah!"

Marth cut through one with Falchion

"You're finished!"

Then another creature tried to hit Marth from behind but he blocked the attack.

The monster was wide open from behind and Henry easily shoot its weak point.

"Enemy neutralized!"

John looked around. "Looks like that was the last of them."

"Seems like it. Good work everyone!"

"You too." Marth replied to Henry. "Your leadership was incredible. You and John are remarkably talented on the battlefield."

"Funny I was about to say the same to you and Ike."

Soon they reached the front of the building.

"This must be the place." Henry said.

Suddenly the team heard a rumble.

"What was that?!" Marth asked.

"Look out!" Ike yelled looking up.

The team jumped back to avoid the same tentacle creature Henry encountered earlier from flattening them.

"Great. Here we go again." Henry mumbled under his breath.

"I got this!" John yelled firing at it but the attack didn't even scratch the monster.

"Man…"

"This is getting interesting!" Ike said. He launched a shockwave from Ragnell at it but even that didn't seem to harm the beast.

"Blast."

"This won't be easy…" Marth said pointing his weapon at it.

Henry addressed his friends.

"John, Marth, Ike, new plan!"

"Yeah? It better be a good one." John said turning to Henry.

"You'll love it…" Henry grinned.

As soon as he got everyone's attention he turned around.

"RUN!"

"Wait, What?!" The three men behind him all asked at the same time.

"Run? You know I hate running!" John yelled from behind Henry.

"I'm not too crazy about it myself!" Ike called from behind them.

The monster despite its size approached them quickly and was soon upon them.

KATHOOM

Suddenly a hail of cannon balls bombarded the monster dazing it.

"Was this part of your plan?" Marth asked turning to Henry.

"Not really but I'll take it."

John pointed to the sky.

"Look!"

What the men saw astonished them. A large airship armed with cannons and a golden statue of a woman holding a lit torch on the front.

"What a ship! But whose is it?" Henry asked.

Suddenly a ladder dropped from the ship and landed right in front of them.

John was the first to grab it. "Does it matter? Get climbing!"

After they all grabbed the latter the ship lifted it off the ground getting them away from the monster just as it recovered.

A man with white hair wearing a black coat woke up from on the ground.

"Ugh…where…?"

The man took in his surroundings and immediately notice a girl unconscious on the ground near him with long blue hair and a cape.

The man's eyes widened as he hurried to her side placing an arm under her back to lift her up slightly.

"Lucina! Lucina wake up!" The man plead slightly shaking her.

The future princess of Ylisse groaned then slowly opened her eyes and turned them to the man holding her.

"Robin?"

The tactician of the Shepherds sighed in relief as he saw she was okay.

"Thank the gods! I was worried!"

Robin helped Lucina to her feet.

"What happened?" Lucina asked.

"I don't know. The last thing I can remember was the two of us taking a walk outside the castle after we got back from the war in Valm then suddenly being blinded by a flash of light. The next thing I now we're here."

The two Shepherds looked at the area around them from the hill they were on.

"What is this place?" Lucina asked.

"I have no idea."

Before they could discuss what, they should do they were surrounded by monsters with blades on their tails.

"What in the seven hells are those things!?" Robin asked.

Before he could get an answer one of them jumped at him.

Robin Quickly Drew his Levin Sword and pointed it at the monster striking it in midair with a bolt of lightning.

Lucina drew her own sword and the two of them began to face the monsters together.

After the last one turned to ice and shattered Robin turned to Lucina.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine. What about you?"

"I'm alright. But what were those monsters? A new form of Risen?"

"I doubt it. There were no monsters like that in my future."

Robin looked, into the distance from the hill they were on.

"Oh gods."

"What's wrong?" Lucina asked looking towards the direction Robin was facing.

What she saw made her gasp.

In the distance, they could see a castle with smoke coming out of it and more monsters prowling the front.

"Those fiends!"

"There may be people trapped inside!" Robin said looking at the castle.

"Let's go help them! Are you prepared?"

"Of course." Robin replied. "I brought my tomes with me just in case. What about you?"

"I will be fine. I have my father's sword. And I also brought this with me as well." Lucina said bringing out the weapon she received from one of the Dreadlords. The legendary bow Nidhogg.

"Alright. Let hurry!" Robin said turning to the castle.

"Wait!" Lucina said grabbing him by the arm.

"What is it?"

Lucina wrapped her arms around him.

"Please take care of yourself out there. I do not want to see another loved one slain."

Robin returned the embrace.

"Don't worry I'll stay safe as long as you promise to do the same."

"Okay." Lucina whispered as they slowly parted.

And with that they hurried down the hill and towards the castle.

Yeah, I pair Robin and Lucina sue me. I just like the character development it shows on Lucina's end. Also, this being my first fanfic I figured that I could use this as an excuse for more conversation between characters. This story takes place after the war in Valm but before (Spoiler alert) Validar steels the Fire Emblem. Also, Robin and Lucina have S rank support but are not married and are still a couple and all the children of the Shepherds have been found except Morgan. I figured that it would be more interesting to write about them like this. But enough with the lovey-dovey stuff. What was that ship that saved our heroes? What will happen to Robin and Lucina? Am I making these chapters to short? Find out all this (Although I'm going to have ask you to answer that last one for me.) and more next time!
