A/N: How's it going everybody!

26

Summary: Requested by a Guest reviewer. Based on Birthright Ch. 26… with a twist.

"Stand up, and fight Corrin!" Xander called out to his former younger sibling, as he held Siegfried tight.

Corrin struggled as he got right back on his feet, slowly holding Yato up. "Xander… Leo was right. You ARE stronger than before…" he said softly.

"Corrin!" Ryoma called out, as he rushed in.

"Ryoma!" Corrin called out. "Leave! Stay out of this fight! I've lost Elise. I'm not losing you, Hinoka, Azura or anyone else!"

He then turned to Xander.

"Brother… if it's a fight you truly want, then so be it! Just don't let anyone interfere…"

Xander closed his eyes, and nodded. "Very well…" He turned to his retainers, Laslow and Peri. "You two are to stay out of this."

"But-" Peri tried protesting.

"That is an order!" Xander yelled out.

"I think we should listen to him…" Laslow said to his fellow retainer.

Corrin turned to Ryoma.

"Ryoma… this fight is just for me and Xander. No matter what, I want you to promise me that neither you nor anyone else will interfere… especially… her…"

Ryoma hesitated for a moment, before replying again. "Very well then… They're all busy fighting the Nohrian army. I'll make sure they don't interfere."

Corrin turned his attention back to Xander, Noble Yato held tightly. "Brother, are you ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be." Xander replied, Siegfried emanating dark energy.

Yato and Siegfried clashed back and forth between each other. Sweat beaded down each other's faces, before dropping to the ground.

"Is this truly what you want brother?! You and me, fighting to no end? Elise is dead damnit! How can you even continue this fight like nothing happened?" Corrin yelled out, dodging Siegfried.

"… No. But, this is why this fight should be our last."

"She only wanted peace… for us to be a family again… She didn't want us to fight… You are not the Xander I remember. Elise," he took a quick glance at Elise's corpse. "I'm… so sorry… HAAAH!"

With one final strike, Yato pierces Xander right in the chest, around the same time that Siegfried struck down Corrin's shoulder, causing both of them to fall to the ground.

"Corrin!" Ryoma called out. It was at that point that the rest of the Hoshidans arrived, only to see Corrin's blood spew out.

"Big brother! No!" Sakura called out, tears flowing from her eyes, as she buried herself to Hinoka, who was in disbelief at seeing the sight.

"I'm sorry…" Corrin called out one last time, as he fell to the ground, only to be caught by Ryoma, with Azura close by.

"What happened?" Oboro demanded, pushing herself through her comrades, only to see the sight that could only shatter her heart to many pieces. "Corrin!" She then rushed to her husband's side.

"Oboro…" Corrin said softly. "At least I could see your face one last time."

"No…" Oboro's tears were flowing uncontrollably. "Surely there's a way we can heal your wound."

"I'm sorry Oboro…" Azura softly said.

"What do you mean?" Oboro demanded.

"His wound is too deep." Azura responded, closing her eyes. "Even if we did heal him, it wouldn't really do much…"

Oboro turned his attention back to Corrin, "You can't die. Not yet. What about Kana? What about us?"

"I'm sorry," Corrin responded. "Truly I am. I wish I could've lived long enough to see peace… as well as see our little Kana grow into a fine young woman… I love you…" With that, Corrin's eyes close for one last time, his breathing finally stopping.

"Corrin? CORRIN!"

Just meters away from the grieving Hoshidans, Peri and Laslow were also grieving.

"Peri," Laslow began. "We must go."

"What about… Prince Xander? And Princess Elise" Peri asked, in between tears. "We can't just leave them."

"We'll just come back later." Laslow informed. "We must inform Prince Leo, and Princess Camilla." The two then left the battleground.

A/N: Um… wish granted?

I know, I should've ended this with Corrin still alive, but I kinda wanted to experiment with one of the two dying.

Also, this is another two-part Shot. The second one is in the works.

Anyways, request away if you have any ideas, and I'll see you all next chapter. BYE!
