ROBIN'S POV

Lissa was sobbing in Ferox's throne room. So, being the totally comforting person I am, I stood a respectful distance while Flavia patted her on the back. "Easy now girl, you'll be ok." Lissa sniffled. "I want to plant a fist in that stupid king's stupid evil FACE!" she yelled, standing up suddenly. Flavia chuckled. "You'll get your chance, girl." Meanwhile, I attended to Chrom. "I failed. I'm a failure, Robin." I resisted the temptation to roll my eyes. "Chrom, it's what she wanted. You should honor her decision." Chrom sighed again, shaking his head. "Chrom, I'm trying to pull you back onto your feet here." I grumbled. "It seems I'm pulling you down with me." He replied glumly. Then, I got an 'aha!' moment.

"Maybe that's just what you're doing." I said, looking at him. "Way to make me feel worse, Robin." "That's not what I meant, Chrom. I know you can't deal with losing your sister. I get it. But maybe together we can." Chrom looked at me strangely. "Robin are you proposing?" I silenced the urge to slap him. "No, you idiot! I'm a guy!"

Chrom shook his head. "Continue." "Anyways, maybe separately we can't shoulder Emm's legacy, but maybe we can as a whole. When I fall, you pick me up, and vice versa." Chrom looked hopeful for a second, but his face went downcast immediately.

"But what if I drag you down with me?" he said, shaking his head. "Well… Well… Then that's what friends are for!" I said, ad-libbing. Chrom grinned. "You should become a motivational speaker. You must have 'studied this somewhere'." We both laughed. I guess laughter really is the best medicine.

LUCINA'S POV

What a battlefield. Thomas and I sat on the roof of an abandoned fort a safe distance from the battlefield. Gangrel and his forces were waiting in a cluster of forts. "No way. There's no way the Ylisseans and Feroxi can fight their way through that horde without serious casualties." Thomas said, a piece of candy not in his mouth for once. Then, it happened. The one moment in the new timeline that will forever be etched in my memory.

A good 3/4ths of Gangrel's troops dropped their weapons and marched away from the field in defiance. But the one thing that brought tears to my eyes was what they were chanting. "Emmeryn! Emmeryn! Emmeryn!" the soldiers called her name as they abandoned the battlefield. Although I couldn't see Gangrel's face, I saw him raise his sword, a crooked golden blade like Thomas' mother, and begin to blast them down from a distance. The soldiers marched on, unfazed as their comrades fell until they had disappeared.

Then, when there was a pathetic amount of troops left, Chrom struck. The Shepherds burst onto the field, screaming bloody murder. Well, at least Sully was. But Chrom was a tank. He plowed a line through the enemy ranks with ease, and the Shepherds followed him, finishing off any stragglers. "That's…. amazing." If Thomas had a lollipop, it probably would've fallen right out of his mouth.

ROBIN'S POV

Holy Naga, we should all be dead right about now. If we had saved Emmeryn, we'd all be toast, and I think Chrom finally has gotten over her death. Well, don't get me wrong, he still misses her, and still wants to rip Gangrel into a million bloody pieces. But I think he finally understands that in war, sacrifices have to be made for the greater good. I'm proud.

Anyways, rambling aside, we were smack dab in the middle of a battlefield. After an hour of battle, Gangrel joined the fray. First, he targeted Nowi. She was circling overhead, swooping down to incinerate an enemy if they got 'into anyone's bubble' as she put it.

Gangrel raised his Levin Sword and tried zapping Nowi out of the sky, but she kept cartwheeling to avoid the blasts. Then, she zoomed in to try and gobble him up, when he slashed and etched a deep cut in her neck, nearly decapitating her. Gangrel raised his sword to finish her, when Nowi dematerialized in a flash of blue light. "What?!" Gangrel yelled, looking around wildly. From a few yards away, I saw Lissa tending to the now human Nowi. She must have used her new Rescue Staff.

Then, Chrom finally broke through the lines to Gangrel. All around, the sounds of battle stopped. The Plegians and Ylisseans each got behind their respective leader and watched the battle quietly. Of course, Gangrel wasn't about to duel to the death without flapping his mouth. "Well hello there, little prince. Still dreaming of your flattened sister?" Chrom's eyes flashed. "Today, Gangrel, you die. Peace will return to this continent!" Gangrel laughed, throwing his head back and laughed. "Oh, that's hilarious!" he cackled, "You actually think killing me will bring peace! Well prince, see for yourself just how misguided you are!" then the battle commenced.

Chrom dashed at Gangrel, Falchion held high, and yelling defiantly. Gangrel's devilish grin quickly turned to shock as his Levin Sword was sent skittering across the ground. Gangrel fell back, putting his hand behind him and raising the other. Chrom raised his sword, but Gangrel threw a clump of dirt in his face, blinding him. While Chrom rubbed the dirt from his eyes, Gangrel scooped up his sword and blasted Chrom off his feet. Chrom growled and got up, still clutching Falchion like a lifeline. He dashed at Gangrel again, somehow even faster, leapt into the air and-

CHROM'S POV

"AETHER!" I yelled, and sank my blade deep into Gangrel's chest. He gasped, in both shock and pain, considering I probably just skewered his heart. "Any last words, Gangrel?" I asked looking down on him. Gangrel sneered in defiance and spat a wad of bloody spit at me. Etiquette befitting a king. Then, he laughed. Not nearly as strong as his earlier one, but it was a laugh all the same. "You think… you have won here today?" he said, trying not to show the fact that he was gasping for air. "You may have…. Your people…. You may have…. Your family…. But you will still…. Die…. ALONE!" with that, Gangrel's head slumped to the ground.

I sheathed Falchion and looked up. "You all can surrender, or you can die here." I said to the soldiers backing Gangrel. Three-dozen white flags went up, and they all dropped their weapons. Robin looked at me, grinning weakly. "We won." I laughed "Yes, we certainly did." Then, Robin fell flat on his face. "What in the-!" he yelled as he went over. Sumia was standing behind him, a hand over her mouth. "Sorry Robin!" she said, "I didn't see you there! Honest!" Robin scrambled to his feet. "I believe you." He muttered.

Sumia's gaze immediately locked onto mine. "Captain! You're alive!" I think Sumia TRIED to hug me, but somehow we both ended up on the ground. Basilio and Flavia walked up, covered in blood, saw us, and laughed. Lissa then walked up, saw us, and chortled. "Hey, Ro-Ro, Flavia, Basilio, we better go." Robin turned on her. "Since when do you have the authority to call me-" Lissa's voice dropped to a whisper. "Wolves." Robin shut up and the four of them walked away.

LUCINA'S POV

"Shh I think he's about to do it!" I whispered, smacking Thomas who was sucking on his lemon drop far too loud. Thomas rolled his eyes. I watched as Chrom and Sumia exchanged dialogue much too faint for me to hear. "Wait for it…" I mumbled. Chrom shifted his weight.

Thomas cleared his throat. "Is that Gaius walking over to them?" Silently, I cursed Thomas' father. "Distract him or something!" I whispered angrily. Thomas looked over his pieces of candy mournfully. I sighed, picked up a lollipop, and threw it. It whizzed right over Gaius' head, and he ran after it. It took all my self-control to not burst into laughter. I refocused my attention on my parents.

Chrom was down on one knee, ring in his open palm, and Sumia was gasping and fanning herself and for once not falling over. "…es Ye… YES! YES YES YES!" Yes, we could hear that loud and clear. Smiling, Thomas and I walked back to Ylisse.

Finally! War is O-V-A! I have the wedding worked out, but I'm debating whether or not to put in a 'Restoration' chapter or two in beforehand. So if you want those just tell me~! Let me get this straight, Gaius is one of my favorite characters! (just not in the top 5) and Anna is in the top 5, so their super child is bound to be awesome! Just saying! ...Might also lead to an affair but um. *covers mouth*
