Hey there folks. I decided that if I still have more stuff to upload then I'll put up another chapter on Wednesdays as well. When we last left off: President Abraham Lincoln explained that Marth and Ike are from another world and the aliens are attacking Buckingham palace. Meanwhile Robin and Lucina went into the palace to save the queen and another S.T.E.A.M. agent. What awaits at the palace? Let's find out!

Chapter 4: Heroes of Another World

"S.T.E.A.M., the Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Menace, is my personal fighting force." The President explained. "I saw a need for an elite team of soldiers trained to deal with unusual threats but they would need to work in secrecy to prevent panic, so I… "retired" from public life."

Henry looked at the President. "So, you made that rumor that you were assassinated."

The president nodded. "Almost unbelievably we soon found evidence of an imminent attack by the most extraordinary invaders imaginable: beings from beyond the stars. Another reason why we came to Britain was so I could present this evidence to queen Victoria but needless to say the evidence is now rather…redundant."

"You said that there was a third portal that connected to our world. Does that mean…?"

"Indeed Marth. There is someone else in the area from your world. We believe the portal is connected to an area near Buckingham palace."

"We'd better find them then." Ike said.

Marth nodded.

"We will be at the palace soon. Go with Katherine she will show you the way."

The four exited the room and were greeted by a blond woman in uniform.

"Welcome aboard the Liberty! I'm Katherine, the ships communications officer."

"It's a pleasure Katherine." Henry said.

"The president asked me to give you this, captain. This is a Medi-Carbine, useful for treating injuries." Katherine said giving Henry a white gun.

"Sergeant John Henry this is a steam rifle for when you need precision over power. And Marth and Ike here are some wireless sets."

The men thanked Katherine and soon she lead them into another room while Henry explained to Marth and Ike (or at least tried to at the best of his ability) how to use the wireless.

"We will get you as close to the palace as we can. Good luck everyone." With that she left and closed the door behind her.

Soon an alarm sounded and the floor opened under them causing them to fall deeper into the ship.

"Landing party, prepare to debark! All hands brace for impact!"

"Brace for impact?!" John asked.

"Somehow I don't like the sound of that." Ike muttered.

"Trajectory locked. Begin countdown."

"Wh-what's going to happen!?" Marth asked.

"You guys worry too much." Henry sighed.

"5…."

"4…."

"3…."

"2…."

"1…."

"FIRE!"

WOSH

The team was shoot out of the liberty's canons and to the ground below.

"We worry too much huh? If anything I would say not enough!" Ike said glaring at Henry as they got out of the hedge they landed in.

"Is this the place? It looks like a battle took place here." John said looking around.

"Likely the British troops defending the palace." Katherine said over the wireless. (Causing Marth and Ike who were not used to it to jump.)

"If it makes you two feel any better I'm still not used to this thing either." Henry said looking at them.

"Wait….Marth look at this." Ike said kneeling down looking at a thin line carved into the ground.

Marth's eyes widened when he saw what Ike was looking at. "Only a sword could make that mark."

"And look over there." Ike added pointing at a black mark on the ground. "It looks like someone was using fire magic."

"Magic?" Henry and John asked looking at each other.

"Do you think it is the person caught in that portal?" Marth asked.

"Only one way to find out!" Henry said motioning forward. "Let's move!"

"This is Lion!" A voice shouted over the wireless. "I'm trapped in the palace and these beasts are everywhere! I need S.T.E.A.M. support!"

"They sent you in alone? Hold on—we're on our way!" Henry responded.

"I'll be here!" the voice called back.

Robin and Lucina were running through the halls when Lucina suddenly stopped and turned around.

"What was that?"

"What was what?" Robin asked.

"I thought I heard someone yell."

"I didn't hear anything."

"Was it just my imagination?" Lucina asked.

Suddenly more aliens came after them.

"Damn! This way!" Robin yelled grabbing Lucina by the wrist and running down the halls as fast as he could.

Eventually Robin found and opened a door and pulled Lucina inside with him before closing it behind him.

He listened at the door for a few seconds.

"I think we lost them. We should be safe….for now at least."

The two of them slumped against the door catching their breath.

"Where are we?" Lucina asked after a minute of rest.

"It looks like some kind of office." Robin said.

Robin and Lucina got up and looked around.

"Huh? What's this?" Robin asked as his eye caught a paper on a desk.

"What are you looking at?" Lucina asked looking at the paper in his hand.

"It appears to be a letter."

Dear Queen Victoria

Recently our research in America has led to an astonishing discovery. We believe we have learned of the existence of another world. We have finished developing a machine that can not only connect with this world but open gateways to different points of its time. Unfortunately the machine has malfunctioned and has opened portals connecting to the other world and your country. We believe that there may be victims of the other world that are now stranded in ours. We are making preparations to leave for London to find the otherworldly civilians and hopefully find a way to bring them home. I apologize for troubling you when you are about to celebrate the grand opening of Steamgate Bridge. I swear on my honor we will deal with this matter as quickly as we can.

President Abraham Lincoln

P.S. There is something urgent I have to explain to you when I arrive to London. The information must be kept secret to avoid panic so I have decided it would be best to discuss this matter in person. I apologize for the inconvenience.

"Could this mean what I think it does?" Lucina asked.

"As mad as it sounds it would explain a lot." Robin said as he put the letter down.

"So we are in another world?"

"Perhaps the queen knows more about this. Let's go find her."

Lucina nodded.

"Be careful team!" Kathrine warned "Those red aliens will explode upon impact!"

"Alright. John and I will handle them. Math and Ike you take the slashing aliens."

While Henry and John took out the Crashers from a distance so they weren't caught in the explosion Marth cut through a swarm of Slashers with Falchion destroying the creatures in a flash. Ike used his Ragnell to strike a group of aliens in front of him and then fired a shock wave blowing over another one.

"Look over there!" Marth called pointing at a man standing in front of the gate to the palace.

"What's a civilian doing here?" the President asked over the wireless. "Help him out, and see him to safety."

"Yes sir!" Henry replied as they hurried to the man.

"Oh, thank goodness! Someone's come to rescue me!"

"You're American?" Henry asked "What are you doing here?"

"Milton! Is that you?" the president asked.

"Friend of yours?" Ike asked.

"That's right. He works for us."

"I was on my way to the palace when these monsters appeared. Fortunately two strangers helped me out. Actually one of them looked remarkably like you." Milton said pointing at Marth.

"It must be the person from our world!" Marth said.

"But you said there were two of them? Mr. President was there a forth portal?" Ike asked.

"No there were only three." The president responded in a confused tone. "Maybe more than one person got caught in the same portal."

"Did you see where they went?" John asked.

"I told them one of S.T.E.A.M.'s agents went to find the queen and they ran off into the palace." Milton explained. "But what did you mean by your world? Did you know who th-

"There is no time to explain." Henry interrupted. "Head back down the road—the Liberty will pick you up."

"Yes, Yes, of course! At once! And thank you" Milton said heading for the road before turning around.

"Oh yes! The two people that helped me were a man with white hair and a black coat named Robin and a woman with long blue hair and is dressed similarly to you named Lucina." Milton said pointing to Marth.

"Thanks." Henry called.

"Dressed similarly to you? You got a twin or something?" John asked Marth.

"I don't know anyone by the name of Lucina." Marth said.

"We can ask her once we find them." Ike said looking at the gate.

"He's right." Henry said "Let's get inside!"

And so they hurried into the castle.

Robin and Lucina after fighting countless foes found themselves in a strange room full of monitors.

"What is this place?" Lucina asked.

"Look." Robin said pointing to the monitors. "It looks like different parts of the castle are being shown here."

"Incredible…" Lucina said amazed. "This must be so the guards can see what is happening around the castle. Maybe we can use this to find the queen and that agent."

"Good idea."

The two spent a couple minutes looking at the screens.

"Do you see anything Robin?" Lucina asked still looking around. Her question was met with silence.

"Robin?"

Lucina turned around to see Robin staring at something in shock.

"Lucina, look at this."

The monitor showed Milton talking to a group of men outside the castle.

Lucina gasped.

She didn't know who two of the men were but she saw pictures of the other two in storybooks and portraits growing up. Plus the einherjar that mimicked them. There was no mistaking it.

"Is that…..the hero king himself!?" Lucina asked looking at one of them.

"And the radiant hero of legend!" Robin said looking at another.

"But how is this possible!?" Lucina asked in shock. "The hero king's story goes back to 3000 years ago! And we already defeated all of the einherjar!"

"Wait. That letter we found said there were others like us here. And it did say they could access different points of time…" Robin said.

"So it brought them here as well?" Lucina asked.

"Apparently….Come on! This could be our only clue to where we are and how to get home! We need to find them!"

"Is that a wise idea? We are from a different time from them." Lucina said.

"We don't have much of a choice unfortunately." Robin sighed. "Thought we should avoid telling them that we are from the future." And we defiantly can't let Marth know that you're his…..you know."

"Right."

Robin looked at the monitors. "It looks like the fastest way to the entrance is-"

"Robin watch out!"

Lucina pushed Robin out of the way and was hit in her side by a sharp shard of ice. She fell to the floor bleeding.

"LUCINA!"

Robin got up and ran to the now unconscious princess and turned to see a bunch of lizard like aliens holding some kind of weapons.

"Damn it!" Robin growled lifting Lucina up with one arm and grabbed his sword with the other.

This wasn't going to be easy and he knew it.

Ah finally. A fairly long chapter. I apologize for those who were hoping for more story but like I said this is my first fanfic and this is all still new to me. But enough with my rambling. Will Robin save Lucina and himself? Will Henry and his friends find them, the queen and this agent? Is anyone else looking forward to fire emblem fates? Find out all this (Aw who the heck am I kidding? We all know the answer to that last one!) And more next time!
