Good Glory I spent more time on my play through of Fates far longer than the game itself deserves. Last time on Id (S.T.E.A.M.): With the help of the president, the Shepherds and of his friends from S.T.E.A.M. Robin returned to the battle. However Ozma says that Robin is now left with a choice. Let Chrom seal Grima away so it may or may not ever awaken again or destroy Grima forever at the cost of his life. What will he do? Let's find out!

"Robin will cease to exist!?" Tin Man asked.

"That is what they learned from Naga." The wizard told him.

"Then we can't let him do that!" Lion said.

"What can we do?" Califia asked. "We have no way of getting to him."

"There was to be something we can do!" Katherine said.

"That's enough everyone."

The team turned to Henry.

"The decision is his to make. Not ours."

"You sure about this Henry?" John asked.

"Like Califia said there's nothing we can do as long as we can't get to him. All we can do is believe that Robin will come back if he does decide to sacrifice himself."

Everyone was silent for a minute. They hated to admit it but Henry was right.

"Look!" Tom said redirecting his attention to the sphere.

The team saw Robin and Chrom in front of Grima.

"I come to end you, Grima!" Chrom yelled.

Grima laughed.

"…ARROGANT MORTAL…I AM THE END!"

He then turned to Robin.

"…RETURN TO ME…COME…WE ARE ONE…AND THE SAME…"

"…"

Robin remained quiet and closed his eyes as if thinking about something.

"Don't listen to him! You're Robin! Remember that!" Henry yelled into the sphere.

"…..I know…."

The head of the present fell dragon rose behind the Grima of the future and looked down at Robin and Chrom.

The dragon shot a large purple fireball at them but they jumped out of the way and rushed at Grima.

Grima waved his hand and a trail of spikes came towards them.

They moved out of the way and charged at Grima. Chrom held his Exalted Falchion and Robin readied his Levin sword.

They swung at Grima but the avatar's hands started to glow purple before he blocked both of their swords with his bare hands.

"PATHETIC!" Grima spat as he shot two fire balls out of his hands and blew them away.

"Their being over powered!" the tactical officer said.

"At this rate they'll lose. Fox said.

"Don't say that! Robin pulled through worse before!" Scarecrow said.

"Hey, look!" John said pointing up.

A green hole appeared in the sky.

"What is that professor?" Tiger Lily asked.

"It appears to be some form of dimensional rift." Randolph said examining it.

"To Robin's world?" Lion asked.

"Most likely."

"What caused it to appear?" Grant asked.

"Maybe it's a side effect from the times we transported Marth and the others to and from their world." Kathrine said.

"Or perhaps it is due to the powers of the divine and fell dragons clashing." The wizard said.

"Either of you or neither of you could be right." Randolph said. "Either way judging from its texture shape and size there is about a 95% chance that it is connected to Robin's world."

"Hmmmm." Henry looked at the rift. It was far away from their reach and too small for even Tom or Dorothy to fit in. However….

"I take it your thinking what I'm thinking." John grinned at Henry.

"I think it's what we're all thinking." Henry smirked back.

"Ya think?" Tom grinned.

"But we don't even know if it's connected to the time of their battle." Milton said.

"The chances of it being connected to the precise moment are rather slim." Randolph admitted.

"But they need our help!" Dorothy said.

"She's right!" Henry said. "Besides it will take more than slim chances to stop S.T.E.A.M.!"

Chrom and Robin were flung away from Grima by his magic.

"Gods….he's too powerful." Chrom said getting up.

"We can't give up Chrom! Not now!" Robin said.

Grima smirked and prepared another attack.

"SAY GOODBYE!"

BANG

Suddenly a bullet hit Grima in the back.

"WHAT THE-!?"

The three of them turned to see a green hole in the sky.

Suddenly more bullets and explosives came out of it bombarding Grima. A chunk of frozen meat and a mechanical fist even bopped him in the head.

"WHAT!? AAAAARGHHH!"

"I know those attacks." Robin said looking at the hole.

"Henry! Everyone!"

"It's working!" Kathrine said looking at the orb. "Keep it up everybody!"

The members of S.T.E.A.M. had their weapons in hand and were repeatedly shooting into the rift.

"Take this ya big worm!" John and Tom yelled.

"What the twins said!" Lion joked.

"Hey!"

"You mess with our friends you mess with us!" Dorothy said.

"That's right Grima! Now you face all of S.T.E.A.M.!" Henry yelled.

Milton looked at the orb and turned pale.

"Oh dear."

"Is something wrong?" Queen Ozma asked.

"DIE YOU DAMN MAGOTS!"

Grima turned to the rift and charged up his magic.

"NO!" Robin yelled rushing at Grima.

"Everyone, get inside! Now!" Grant yelled.

The team ran back in just as a purple fire ball came out of the hole and exploded destroying the balcony.

"Is everyone alright!?" Henry asked.

"Yeah. That was close." John replied.

"Look! The rift is closing!" Scarecrow said.

The rift slowly started to get smaller and smaller.

Henry brought out his Eagle Grenade.

"Captain Fleming, wait!" the tactical officer said. "Robin and Chrom are too close to Grima! If you use that you might hit them too!"

"Then I'll wait for them to separate!" Henry said. "John, give me the signal!"

"DIE YOU DAMN MAGOTS!"

Grima turned to the rift and charged up his magic.

"NO!" Robin yelled rushing at Grima.

Robin rammed into him just as he fired a purple fireball.

Both of them fell over as it flew into the rift.

"HA! TOO LATE VEASEL!" Grima laughed as they got up.

"Damn you!" Robin yelled.

He tried to slash Grima with his sword but the dragon dodged in then punched him in the stomach knocking the air out of him as he fell over.

"Robin!"

Chrom jumped in the air and prepared to strike but Grima hit him in mid-air with a magic blast.

"FOOL."

"THORON!"

Robin shot lightning into Grima and sent him flying.

Robin and Grima both stood up and Robin rushed at him again.

Grima held out his hand and spawned a purple flame in the form of a sword.

The two clashed weapons until Robin got a good slash in on Grima's chest.

"GAH! YOU PEST!"

Grima shot another energy blast at Robin knocking him over.

"DIE!"

"ROBIN!"

Lucina rushed at Grima and tried to stab him but he dodged again before raising a hand into the air.

"L-Lucina, no!" Robin yelled struggling to get up.

Lucina predicted another fire ball and prepared to block it with Parallel Falchion.

But instead two purple lights appeared on Grima's fingers. Then he threw them at Lucina and they attached themselves onto her wrists before they turned into solid bands tightly placed over them.

Lucina looked at them in confusion.

Grima clutched his hand into a fist.

Suddenly they slammed together with her wrists immobilizing them and making her yelp as she dropped her sword.

"What are you-Ah!"

Lucina was interrupted as Grima threw two more lights that became another two bands as they attached themselves to her ankles before they pined her legs together as well.

Grima smirked at the princess as she struggled to break the bounds before he walked over to her and kicked her over to the ground.

Grima laughed as Lucina still attempted to break free before he snapped his fingers.

Suddenly Lucina was flung high into the air before her restraints stretched her limbs apart hanging her in the air spread eagle.

Lucina desperately tried to move her arms and legs but she couldn't get them free from their bindings.

"L-let me go you fiend!"

"FINALY I HAVE YOU RIGHT WHERE I WANT YOU GIRL! TRAPED LIKE THE RAT YOU ARE!" Grima said before pointing a finger at her.

Purple electricity shocked her entire body as she screamed in pain.

"LUCINA!" Robin and Chrom yelled getting up and running toward her.

"NOT ANOTHER STEP!" Grima yelled.

They froze in place.

"STAY WHERE YOU ARE OR SHE DIES!"

"You damn coward!" Chrom yelled.

Then they heard voices from the rift.

"Now Henry!"

"RED WHITE AND BOOM!"

Suddenly a golden eagle flew out of the shrinking rift before hitting Grima in the chest blowing him a good distance away.

As Grima was hit the electricity around Lucina stopped and her bounds disappeared releasing her.

Robin ran under her just in time to catch her in his arms.

"Are you alright Lucina?"

"Yes…thank you." Lucina said as Robin let her down.

"Take that you monster! Now's your chance!" Henry's voice said from the rift.

"Thank you Henry!" Robin said to the shrinking rift. "We'll take it from here!"

"Go get him!"

And with that the rift closed.

He then looked at Lucina.

"Can you still fight?"

"As long as there is a spark of life in me." She responded.

Chrom gave Lucina her sword.

"Shall we?" He smiled at them.

They nodded and charged at Grima.

"NO….I WILL NOT ALOW THIS!"

Grima shot more spikes at them but the sidestepped and kept going.

"I challenge my fate!"

"Your end has come!"

Chrom and Lucina's Falchions slashed deep into Grima.

"GAH! CURSE YOU!"

Grima shot purple lightning that flung them far across the ground.

As they laid on the ground in pain Grima raised his hand in the air and the head of the present fell dragon prepared to attack them.

"Gods…hngh…"

"Must I…fall here?"

"I'LL SEND YOU BOTH TO HELL!"

"THORON!"

A bolt of lightning struck the head causing it to be blown back. "WHAT!?" Grima yelled looking over his shoulder to see the head lower in pain.

"You're finished!"

Grima turned back to see Robin rush at him.

"IGNIS!" Red flames and flower petals surrounded Robin as he struck Grima with his Levin sword.

"DAMN YOU!"

Grima fell on one knee.

"Now, Robin! This is our chance!" Chrom yelled from behind Robin. "I'm going to finish it!"

Robin saw Chrom approach towards him. He then looked down and through about something a friend said.

"I have always made my choices by a simple formula:"

Robin smiled. "What helps the most people?" He turned back to Chrom. "Sorry Chrom. I know I promised not to do this but…."

"Huh?" Chrom said confused by Robin's words.

Robin raised his hand and a purple orb of thunder appeared in his hand crackling loudly.

Chrom froze. "…Robin?! Wait, what-

"…WHAT…WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Grima asked in fear.

"For once, I'm glad that you and I are the same." Robin said. "Now I can give my life to protect those I care about."

"W-what!? Robin, please no!" Lucina cried from on her knees.

"…YOU WOULD…NOT DARE!" Grima panicked.

"I would and I will. The evils you would visit on this world are unthinkable…" Robin said before closing his eyes. "In some way, I-we share the blame." His eyes snapped open. "It's only right we meet our end together!"

"ROBIN, DON'T DO IT!" Chrom yelled in sync with Lucina as he ran towards him.

"This is for Lucina and all the people who suffered in both our times because of you." Robin said glaring at Grima.

Grima stared at Robin in fear. "P-PLEASE! I DON'T WANT TO-

Robin swung his hand. "CHECKMATE!"

"…NOOOOOOO!"

POW

The bolt slammed into Grima. The present Grima roared in pain as it dropped its head. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The future Grima faded away into nothingness.

Robin smiled as his own body slowly started to fade.

"Robin! No!"

Robin turned to see Chrom run up to him.

"Thank you, Chrom. For…everything…Tell the others…my last thoughts were of them…May we meet again, in a better life…"

"Robin! No! Ah, gods, NO!" Chrom yelled as he finally reached him.

"ROBIN!"

Robin saw Lucina run to him with tears running down her face.

"Lucina…I'm sorry. I wish I could have more time…with you."

"Why Robin…Why?" Lucina cried with her head down and her hands on Robin's shoulders.

"This was the only way to end Grima for good."

"B-but I need you Robin….Please d-don't leave me…."

"He won't." A voice said.

Robin and Lucina looked past Chrom to see their daughter with the rest of the army close behind her.

"You'll come back dad."

"Morgan…"

"I know you will. I believe in you…" Morgan said with tears running down her face.

Robin thought for a second and smiled.

"Yes….you're right."

He then looked at Lucina.

"Lucina…remember what I said in Bathrealm? Even if I die I'll find a way to come back to you."

"R-Robin…" Lucina cried.

Robin hugged his fiancée.

"I promise you."

Lucina hugged her him back.

"Yes. And I will wait for you. I'll wait until the end of time if I have to. I love you."

"I will be back my love."

Robin and Lucina shared a passionate kiss.

After a minute they parted and Morgan walked up to them.

"I'll miss you daddy…"

"I'll be back soon kiddo."

The three of them share a family hug.

"I love you both with all my heart."

The lower half of Robin was already dissolved.

As Robin parted from the two girls he looked at Chrom.

"I'll be back Chrom. I promise."

"I know you will my friend. I won't doubt it for a second."

Robin smiled and looked at the Shepherdess. His friends-no. His family.

"See you soon. Everyone."

Robin gave one last wave and then as the rest of him vanished.

Naga teleported the others to safety.

What will become of Robin? How will his friends cope with what happened? Why is there some angry fanboy glaring at me as I type? Find out all this (Probably due to me trashing Fates in my fics and the Gamer of Glory's let's plays.) and more next time!
