Last time on Id (S.T.E.A.M.) Chrom and Lucina vowed to find Robin and S.T.E.A.M. put their faith in the chance he will return. What will happen next? Let's find out!

Chrom, Lissa and Lucina were in a wagon with Fredrick at the reins of the horses strolling down a path in Ylisse.

"It has been over a year since we started looking for him." Fredrick said.

"We almost searched all of Ylisse." Lissa said.

"Where are we going now father?" Lucina asked.

"There is a town near here. We'll ask the people if they have seen him." Chrom said.

"I hope we find him…" Lucina said.

"If not then as soon as we get home I'll make preparations to leave for Regna Ferox."

"Is it truly necessary milord?" Fredrick asked. "Kahns Basilio and Flavia are already sending search parties and putting up posters all over their country just as we have. Chon'sin and Plegia are doing the same."

"I know Fredrick. But after all Robin has done for us if I didn't do everything in my power to find him I'd never forgive myself."

"I'm relieved to hear you say that milord." Fredrick smiled. "I feel the same."

"Actually Lucina, this town is where Robin fought alongside us for the first time." Chrom smiled.

"Is it?"

"Oh, yeah!" Lissa said. "I can't believe I forgot about that! Brings back memories huh guys?"

Chrom and Fredrick nodded with a smile.

"It shouldn't be much furth-

"Chrom. Lucina."

Chrom was interrupted by a voice.

Fredrick stopped the horses.

"Can you hear me?"

Everyone looked around but didn't see anyone.

"I take it I'm not the only one who heard that." Lissa said.

"Who's there?! Show yourself!" Fredrick demanded.

"Father….that voice…" Lucina said.

"I know. But how is it possible?"

"Over here…"

"It came from this way! Come on!" Chrom said as he and Lucina jumped out of the wagon and hurried off the side of the path with Lissa and Fredrick following.

Suddenly Chrom and Lucina came to a halt.

"What's wrong?" Lissa asked. As she and Fredrick caught up.

"Look." Chrom said.

There was a man lying on the ground.

"Oh, gods…" Lucina said as tears filled her eyes.

The four of them sprinted across the field.

"ROBIN!" they all said simultaneously.

They came to a halt in front of their friend before Chrom checked his pulse. "He's alive."

"He is. I've been waiting here to be sure nothing happened to him."

The four Shepherds turned to see the source of the voice.

A golden sphere floated next to them.

"So it was you." Chrom smiled standing up.

Suddenly there was a burst of light and the sphere was replaced with the image of a man.

"It's been a while."

"It certainly has Mr. President." Chrom smiled.

"Who are you!?" Fredrick asked grabbing his Silver Lance.

"EEEEKKK! I-It's a ghost!" Lissa panicked.

"Calm down you two! Fredrick, lower your weapon!" Chrom said.

"It's alright Chrom." The man smiled. "I suppose I'm not the type of thing you see daily around these parts."

"Well…you'd be surprised what we deal with here." Chrom grinned rolling his eyes.

"Mr. President…did you bring Robin back?" Lucina asked.

"Not just me. You and all of your friends brought him back." The president smiled. "I just showed him the way."

"Thank you sir." Chrom smiled.

"No worries. It took me a while but I managed to find him." The president said turning to the man on the ground. "I was going to wait for him to wake up then make sure he got to you in one piece then I felt you two in the area. So I called out to you and here you are."

Lissa and Freedrick were flabbergasted at what they were seeing.

"I would like to thank you all for believing in him." The president said.

"Of course." Chrom said.

"I would never give up on him." Lucina smiled.

"Uh, yeah no problem. Anything for a friend." Lissa said nervously.

"I would have waited decades for his return." Fredrick said

"Robin is quite the lucky man to have such loyal friends." The president said. "Take care of him."

"We will." Chrom said.

"Well then. I believe I should get going." The president smiled. "Enjoy your peaceful future my friends. You deserved it."

And in a flash of bright light the man disappeared.

"Who was that guy Chrom?" Lissa asked.

"A friend. A valuable friend."

They then turned to Robin who was still on the ground before Chrom looked around the field they were in.

"Come to think of it…this is where we found Robin the first time we met." Chrom said.

"Yeah…." Lissa replied.

The four of theme we silent for a moment.

"So what now?" Chrom asked.

Robin felt like he was sleeping for days straight. He couldn't even move.

Then he heard voices.

"Chrom…We have to do SOMETHING."

"What do you propose we do?"

"I…I dunno…Ah!"

Robin slowly opened his eyes. He saw blurry images of two figures that smiled at him as they saw him wake up.

"I see you're awake now." The blue haired one said.

"Hey there!" his companion smiled.

"There're better places to take a nap than on the ground you know."

Robin's head was in pain. He felt like he knew these two. His eyes we not adjusted to the light and the two people looked like blurs.

The blue haired figure offered a hand.

"Give me your hand."

Robin gathered his strength to reach up and grabbed the man's hand as he pulled him up to his feet.

Robin then looked up at the man's face as his vision recovered. His eyes widened when he saw who it was.

"Welcome back. It's over now."

"C-Chrom?"

"Do you remember everything this time?" His friend asked.

"Yeah…I do."

"We finally found you!"

Robin turned to see Lissa.

"It is good to see you alive and well."

Robin saw Fredrick approach.

Then behind them he saw….

"L-Lucina!"

Chrom smiled and stepped aside as his daughter approached.

Lucina walked up in front of Robin and slowly reached up and cupped his cheek with her hand.

"Is it really you?"

"Yes." Robin said placing his own hand on hers. "It is me Lucina."

Tears fell down Lucina's cheeks as she tilted her head down and sobbed.

Robin slowly reached to her face with his other hand and brushed some tears away.

She looked up to see his face.

"Robin!"

Lucina threw her arms around him and he immediately returned the embrace.

"This is real. You really came back! You came back to me!" Lucina laughed with more tears of joy.

"I promised I would, didn't I?" Robin smiled.

The couple broke away for a second and looked into each other's eyes. They slowly brought their faces closer until they kissed.

Their lips stayed together until they separated for air and then held each other close.

"I do not wish to interrupt but we should leave before it gets dark." Fredrick said.

"Oh, come on Fredrick!" Lissa grinned rolling her eyes. "The Risen disappeared so there's no danger! And they haven't seen each other in over a year!"

"Over a year?" Robin asked.

"A year and six days to be precise." Chrom clarified. "We searched all over Ylisse for you."

"Y-you did?"

"You sound surprised." Chrom grinned. "Did you think we would abandon you?"

"I…I left you for over a year?" Robin asked in guilt. "And you have been searching for me the whole time?"

"Well…yeah…" Lissa said. "Every few days we would head back to the for a week to pool together what we learned from the other Shepherds….But otherwise we've all been looking for you."

"I….I'm so sorry…I…I…Mmmph!"

Robin was silenced when Lucina pressed her lips against his again.

After a few seconds she broke away and looked into his eyes.

"Please don't feel bad. It's true that you being gone was heart breaking….but you did what you did because you thought of us all. You only wanted to stop Grima for good."

"Lucina…."

"It's alright love. I was prepared to spend decades searching. I'm just glad that you're here now."

Robin hugged Lucina and smiled.

"Very well. But regardless I promise to make it up to you."

"I know you will." Lucina said. "Now let's go home. The others are waiting for you."

"It's been over a year since we saw what happened." Kathrine said.

S.T.E.A.M. was in the briefing room. After finishing their recent report they were just having lunch when the subject of Robin came up.

"Do you guys think Chrom found him yet?" Lion asked.

"I hope so." Dorothy said.

"Well there ain't no sense worryin' about it." John said. "All we can do is wait for the Wizard to tell us what happened."

Then a green light flashed in the room.

"Did someone call?"

The light faded reviling the wizard himself along with queen Ozma.

"Queen Ozma! Wizard!" Dorothy said.

"How'd you get here!?" Queequeg asked.

"With this." Ozma said holding up an emerald key just like the ones S.T.E.A.M. used during the final battle with the aliens.

"We bring news." The wizard said holding the emerald orb.

"Wait….He's back?!" Henry asked.

"Come see for yourself." The wizard smiled.

The team gathered around the orb as it projected an image.

Fredrick was at the reins of two horses as they carried a wagon with Chrom and Lissa inside. Right behind them Lucina and Robin were taking a seat holding each other's hands and resting their heads against each other with bright smiles on their faces.

"We're almost home." Chrom said.

"I can't wait to tell the others who we found!" Lissa said.

"I can't wait to see them again." Robin added.

Suddenly Lucina took his hand in both of hers and stared at it with a surprised smile.

"Is something wrong?" Robin asked.

"Robin…you're brand."

Robin looked at the back of his hand to see that…

"It's gone…It's gone!" Robin smiled.

The two of them hugged each other with a smile.

"Finally…I'm free!"

"I knew it!" Tom cheered.

"Robin's back!" Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion said in joy as they locked hands and spun around.

"At last." Henry smiled. "Now he can live in peace."

"And Marth and the others can be at ease." Tiger Lily added.

"Thank you both. Milton smiled. This is the best news we heard in over a year."

"Our pleasure." Ozma smiled.

"We'll now that I know he's safe I feel ready to work twice as hard!" Fox declared.

"You said it!" Henry said raising his glass. "Everyone I propose a toast! To Robin and his world!"

"TO ROBIN AND HIS WORLD!"

Ozma smiled looking at the team's joyous demeanor.

"Thank you Abe."

As Chrom and the others enter the castle the first to greet them were Sumia and Cynthia.

"Chrom, you're home!" Sumia smiled hugging her husband. "Any luck finding him today?"

"Are you talking about me?" Robin smiled.

Sumia's eyes widened in surprise as she saw the tactician.

"Robin! You're finally back! Welcome home! We missed you!"

"And I missed all of you." The tactician replied.

"You must be so happy Lucina!" Sumia cheered.

"I am mother." Lucina smiled. "I am beyond words."

"It's good to have you back Robin!" Cynthia smiled.

"Thank you Cynthia. It's good to be back." Robin replied.

"Daddy!" a little girl's voice cheered.

A small girl with long blue hair in a white dress ran up and jumped into Chrom's arms.

"Oof! You're getting stronger every day Lucia!" Chrom chuckled as he lifted her up.

"Lucia?" Robin whispered.

"Mother and father changed my younger self's name to make things easier for me." Lucina whispered back.

"Who is that man daddy?" Lucia said looking at Robin curiously as Chrom put her down.

"My name is Robin." The tactician smiled.

"You're Mister Robin?!" Lucia smiled. "Yay! You're back!"

"You remember me?" Robin asked. "You were very young when I last saw you."

"Daddy told me about you!" the girl cheered. "He said you were his friend! And big sister said she loved you!"

"Is that so?" Robin smiled.

"Hey sister, now you and Mister Robin can live happily ever after like the prince and princess from the story Morgan read to me!"

"Morgan! Is she okay!?" Robin asked.

"She missed you a lot." Sumia said. "She heard some maids talking about you and she ran to her room. She's been crying all afternoon."

"Morgan…"

"Let's go get her!" Lucia said.

Chrom put a hand on her shoulder.

"I think we should let Robin and Lucina go talk to her alone."

"Awww…."

"Don't worry Lucia!" Lissa said. "You can come with me and we'll go tell all the others!"

"Okay aunt Lissa!"

"I'll come too!" Cynthia cheered.

And with that the three of them ran off.

"I'll go write to Ferox, Chon'sin and Plegia and let them know that we found you." Chrom smiled.

"Tell our friends I said hi." Robin smiled before he left with his fiancée.

The two of them made their way to Morgan's room.

Lucina slowly knocked on the door.

No response.

"Morgan…" Lucina said.

"…Mother?"

"May I come in?"

"Yes."

Lucina smiled and signaled Robin to wait as she opened the door just enough to get through and closed it behind her.

"Hi mom." Morgan said.

She was sitting on her bed with her boots on and her head in her knees. Her hood was over her head again.

"Are you alright dear?" Lucina asked taking a seat on the bed.

"He'll come back….Right?" Morgan asked.

"Morgan?"

"He has to come back…."

"Of course dear. Why wouldn't he?" Lucina asked hugging her.

"It's just….the maids said he might never come back….He has too! I need him!" Morgan cried hugging Lucina back.

"I know dear." Lucina said. "That's why I wanted to speak to you."

"Huh?"

Lucina smiled and took Morgan's hand and brought her out of her room.

"Mother, where are we-

Morgan froze when she saw Robin with a smile on her face.

"D-d-dad…"

"Hey, kiddo."

Morgan wasted no time jumping into her father's arms.

"Daddy!"

Robin held the girl tight and spun her around.

"I knew it! I knew you would come back! You're finally home father!" Morgan cheered crying into Robin's arms.

"I'm sorry I kept you waiting dear." Robin smiled as he put his daughter down. "But I promise to make it worth the wait."

"We just want you to stay with us." Lucina said. "Promise?"

"I promise." Robin replied.

"Come here mother!" Morgan said.

Lucina smiled as she walked over to them and they shared a family hug.

"I want you to stay forever daddy…please…" Morgan said through tears.

"We need you more than anything. Please stay with us my love…" Lucina said.

"Don't worry. I won't let anything tare us apart ever again." Robin smiled.

At long last Robin was with his family. And he couldn't be any happier.

You guys likely thought this is the end of the story but NO! There is more to tell! What awaits Robin's future? What will he have in store for his family? What is there left to ask? Find out all this (Well…this is awkward.) and more next time!
