Robin's POV

"Umm…Excuse me?" Lissa poked someone who walked passed.

The stranger just moaned and kept trudging on.

"Okay~" She slowly stepped back before hiding behind my back "I'll just hide over here."

"They're like zombies." I said "Marching away."

"It seems they are all going to someplace called the Dragon's Table." Frederick said "It is where Validar took the Emblem."

"What does this all mean?" Chrom wondered.

"When you talk to them they just groan and say useless garbage." I pointed out.

"We're racing towards an end." Chrom sighed.

"We can't give up!" Lucina yelled.

"No one said anything about giving up." Chrom said "But we've got a big fight ahead of us."

Standing between us and the Table was a horde of Grimleal led by Aversa.

"There's no way to break that line." Lon'qu sighed.

"RAHHHH!"

Suddenly half of the enemies in front of us were burned away by a blazing fire that fell from above.

"It's a dragon." Lissa said.

"HYUP!"

Say'ri suddenly appeared and dashed passed, cutting down more of the enemies.

"Apologies for our tardiness." She said.

"Hmm!" the Dragon landed near us and transformed back into Tiki "Prince Chrom…"

"We've got everything we need." Chrom nodded "All that's left is to get the Emblem from Validar!"

I stepped in front of him and blocked a spell.

"Master Validar askes to not be disturbed." Aversa smiled "Don't worry though, the Deadlords are here to to entertain you. They were great in life but now they're even greater in death! Although I'll leave you to them."

Aversa jumped off her Pegasus and tried to stab me "You and I will dance together!"

I slid back and brushed my coat "Chrom take the others to fight the Deadlords, I'll handle Aversa."

"Robin…"

"Do it!" I snapped.

"Alright…Forward!"

Aversa and I quickly began blasting each other with spells, her dark magic trying to blow me away in one move.

"I'll never understand someone like you." I said "A minion who lives only to serve."

"The same can be said about your relationship with the prince." She said countering my spell, the two attack glowed as they clashed in the air "Pawns on the board, actors on the stage, we all have parts to play. Fate leads to fate."

"Then you confirm my theory." I said "If was stand on the stage let me help you exit!"

"You so cute when you try and be clever." She smirked as I rolled away from her attack "Master Validar already considers you stronger and smarter than me…all he cares about is you…I'll kill you!"

Her tone changed at the middle remark…why does she care if he cares about me?

"Why are you following someone like Validar?" I asked throwing a lightning bolt.

"Because he's to me as he is to you." She glared "A father."

"HUH?!" I stumbled back "You're my…sister?"

"No you fool, not literally at least." She rolled her eyes "I was raised as his but I am not, I would never say he loves me, not like he loves you."

"You'd follow him even if it would destroy the world?" I asked.

"To me he is the world!" she yelled "And you, the only one he ever cares about, seek to destroy him! You're the aggressor here!"

"It seems you're not interested in conversation." I blinked readying a spell "There is nothing more to say."

"No there's nothing left to say Brother."

The two of us through one more spell, they clashed in the air and I started pushing more magic into my attack and Aversa was pushed away.

"RAH!" the spells broke and Aversa slid back "Fu…you play rough little brother, but the ritual is already beginning, you're too late."

Aversa jumped onto her horse and flew off "We'll meet again!"

"She escaped…" I sighed.

"Robin let's go!" Chrom yelled running forward.

"Yes!"

As we got closer I started to get more worried, what if I screwed up and hurt Chrom.

"Ready Robin?" he asked "The plan's going great so far."

"Chrom I need a favor." I said.

"As long as you don't tell me to leave you behind…or that your gonna die and I need to watch Lissa for you." He sighed.

"No…I did consider those options, I can't run from Validar forever. If I'm going to overcome him my best chance is with my best friend next to me."

"That's the spirit!" Chrom smiled.

"But…" I looked at him seriously "If I lose myself, I want you to kill me."

"You can't ask me that!" he yelled.

"I'll fight him with everything I've got, but there are others involved in this, you have to protect them too." I said.

"You…you're right." Chrom sighed "But you must not let Validar seize you, no matter what."

"I'll do my best." I nodded.

We rounded another corner and dropped into a large room and I saw him, Validar.

"Chrom…have you come to witness the culmination of your failures." He asked "I have the Emblem and the Table, I will return Grima to this world!"

"You're going to destroy the world!" Chrom yelled.

"That's the point!" Validar yelled "The Awakening isn't just for Ecalts and Naga, with it I'll raise Grima, the Fell Dragon, I only need a mortal vessel for him…one which you've so kindly provided."

"…me." I glared at him.

I walked myself right into his trap.

"That's my boy, you're sharp." Validar smiled.

"I'd rather die." I growled.

"You have my blood." He said "The blood of the Fell Dragon, his soul slumbers within you, and now the time has come to wake you up!"

"What back up!" I waved my hands "I…I'm the Dragon?"

Last check I was not a Manakete.

"The Grimleal worked for generations to create someone like you, a vessel for out master. Simply having his blood in your veins wasn't enough, I wasn't worthy, neither was my father or his before him. But you…you have the makings of perfection!"

"You lie!"

"If your damn mother hadn't been such a cowardly bitch …stealing you form your crib and fleeing into the night. I don't care what happened after, just that you returned, that's the proof of your purpose!"

"He proves nothing but his own insanity Robin." Chrom said "This can be stopped."

"You may have killed me in some future or past but this time I'm stronger!" Validar said "With the power of the Table I'm unstoppable!"

"Grr…" I hissed as I felt a scratching in my brain.

"Stay with me Robin." Chrom said "We know how strong you are, what you can do, you can't let him shake your resolve."

"Chrom I…I can't."

"This sorry display is poor for the heir of master's power. You can't change destiny boy!" Validar yelled.

"My life did not start with you." I looked up "It started in that field, I've changed this world for the better. I have friends and people I love, that is what I care about, that is what truly matters, it's a power far stronger than you or Grima."

"That idea is a joke." Validar scoffed "You'll see soon enough."

"You and I agree on something Father, that my life up till now has been preparation for this very moment…When I kill you!"

"You may have my courage but you have your mother's foolish ideals. Come then, do your worst, I can damage you all I want and the dragon will just repair you!"

"This is it Robin." Chrom drew his sword "Our final battle, you're one of us, nothing is changing that, let's kill him and be done with it!"

"There is a barrier that prevents Entry." Validar said "You face your fate alone!"

Chrom and I moved forward to attack Validar but it wasn't long before he was forcing us back with magic.

"You can't do anything!" he cackled "Smite these fools!"

Grimleal poured in from a trap door within the field, Chrom and I were now seriously outnumber.

"You've lost brats!" Validar laughed.

"HYA!"

A handful of the Grimleal were cut down when Owain dashed by and Morgan slammed her axe into another.

"Impossible!" Validar yelled "My barrier is perfect!"

"You made a miscalculation Grandfather." Morgan looked at him.

"Those with the Brand of the Fell can pierce your shield." Owain raised his hand which was glowing purple.

"You forgot to account for us having come from the future." Morgan said flashing her hand.

"You two should stay out of this." I said walking passed them and blasting at Validar "I'll leave the rest to you, I have my own problems to deal with."

"Yes Father!"

"Robin why do you insist on fighting?" Validar asked as I walked closer "You're only delaying the inevitable. What happens if I fall, the followers of Naga will spurn you and your family now that they know the truth. Killing me will only incur the wrath of the Grimleal."

"…" I just looked at him.

"Humas are weak creatures!" he said as we clashed with magic "You're binds are only binds, you are destined for a greater purpose! You are a god!"

"No…not your god." I shook my head as I broke his spell guard and stabbed him with a sword

"Damn…you!" Validar blasted me back and I rolled along the ground.

"Are you okay?" Chrom looked at me "That's the end for him, thanks to you we were the victor, relax and rest Robin."

These words…feel so familer…GAH

"Robin?" Chrom looked at me "What's wrong."

I suddenly reached out and stabbed Chrom in the chest with a lightning spike.

This is my dream from back then!

"GAH!" Chrom coughed "Robing…this isn't your fault. You…have to escape from here."

Chrom fell onto his back and I just stared at him "Chrom…Chrom get up…please…"

"NO!" I heard Lucina yelling from the other side of the barrier.

"Dammit…" Owain hissed "Nothing's changed."

"…" Morgan just stared off blankly.

"Do you see!" Validar yelled out in triumph "You can't resist me! Your bonds offer you nothing!"

"This isn't possible." Lucina sobbed "Everything was…worthless?"

"Like hell it was worthless." Basilio walked up to her "Stop having so much faith in destiny, as long as I can breathe I'm gonna keep fighting!"

"Khan Basilio…but you."

"Died, almost but I worked around that bark thanks to you." He laughed "Normally my pride would have made me keep fighting but your warning gave me the strength to flee. I played the part but you saved my life girly."

"One extra soldier can't save you!" Validar said "Since you didn't die there I'll just make up for it and kill you here!"

"You're not Walhart, you're not strong enough…or even as clever as that guy." Basilio said "I mean look, you haven't even seen the trick."

"What?!"

"I saw it in a dream." I stood up "This exact moment, the fight with you, Chrom getting stabbed…I saw it all. The Gemstones were there too, I knew you'd need them."

"Nice bluff, but I've had you watched since the Carrion Isle." Validar said "You've never touched the stones Robin."

"You may have watched the party." Basilio said "But you only watched who you knew about…you wouldn't watch a dead body, you wouldn't watch me."

"No…impossible!" Validar snapped.

"I think he's catching on." Morgan said dispelling the barrier."

"You belief in destiny mean Robin beat you months ago." Basilio laughed "Those late nights planning…it was all worth it for this moment now."

"Damn you…but it doesn't matter, Chrom is dead."

"I am?" Chrom said standing up.

At that same moment I ran up and stabbed my father in the chest.

"No…this can't be…" Validar coughed up blood.

"Father?!"

"Weakening your magic at the last moment." Chrom smiled "I knew I was right to have my faith in you Robin."

"Hmph." I smirked.

"Damn you and your stones, I don't need them to kill all of you!" Validar yelled.

"Are you ready to end this Robin?" Chrom asked.

"Let's do it." I smiled.

"Tell us where you need us." Basilio said.

"Let's put him in the ground." Flavia walked up.

"It's time for me to balance my debts." Say'ri said.

"He is just one man." Chrom held his sword.

"Look at his, the five great royal heroes." I laughed standing with them "It's just like a storybook. Let's get him!"

All five of us moved quickly Chrom and Say'ri dashed to Validar's sides and hit him with precision slices.

"Let's go oaf!" Flavia yelled as she and Basilio sliced Validar.

"It's Over!" I raised my hand "Superior Jolt!"

A sharp bolt of lightning went off and pierced Validar's chest.

"Why…would you throw away your birthright…" He groaned falling over.

"We did it!" Chrom hugged me and lifted me off the ground "You altered Destiny!"

"Have you now?"

We all looked over and I was standing there.

"You…"

"You may have altered the course but the destination is the same." He said.

"What?"

"Chrom will still die by your hands…or mine." He said.

"Who are you?" Lissa asked "I know for one thing you're not my husband."

"I am Robin." He said "The Robin that killed you and became the Fell Dragon, when "Marth" came back in time I hitched a ride."

"A future me?" I said confused.

"Am I always this stupid?" he wondered "It's simple, I am you, the only difference being the choice we made, you love the woman next to you…I killed her. You're dreams are my memories, we share them because we both share Grima's heart."

"The voice in my head…was you." I glared at him.

"Your recollection begins the day I entered this world. I had intended to unite with you the moment I found you but your heart was too weak, the shock would have killed you. I knew that if my Niece could rewrite history Grima wouldn't be resurrected and I would cease, so I stepped in at certain points to realign the dials so to speak, for example when you killed Validar in the palace…but we have to worry about the future now, all that remains is for you to become one with Grima just as I did. Then you and I will be one and we can reclaim our power!"

"You and I are nothing alike!" I snapped.

"You chose humans over Godhood, but if you won't claim the sacrifice laid at the table...then I'll do it in your place!" the other me yelled as he was surrounded by purple smog "He and I are one once more!"

Outside there was an earsplitting roar as the sky darkened and the air itself burned with pain and suffering.

"It's…all over." Lucina fell to her knees.

"Dammit." I ran off.

"Robin?" Lissa yelled.

I need to get the Emblem out of hiding…it's the only chance we've got.

Thank you for reading. Feedback is appreciated. Feel free to message me any questions or concerns!

I'm not sure how many Chapters we've got left, I'll probably wrap up the main story in the Next Chapter or two and then do a little closing filler epilogue stuff after…Not sure. I feel like i should do the last of it as one big thing and wrap up the main story at Chapter 30, a round number.

So originally I was gonna wait till my Birthday (April) to get FE:Fates but I'm thinking about picking it up this weekend while I'm home from school, if I do get it I'll let you know what I think in the next Chapter!

Till Next Time!
