RobinXLucina After Valm War
Chapter 5: Invisible Ties Part 2
"Father, N-no... Father! No!" Lucina says.
"With the Five Gemstones in hand, my magic knows no bounds. Robin is powerless to resist me. Do you see now, Son? Human Bonds are leaves in the wind. They offer you nothing." Validar says.
Lucina says "This can't be happening. We were supposed to change this! Everything I have done was... Worthless."
An unknown being shouts "The hell it was!"
"Huh? I know that Voice..." Lucina says.
"Don't you put any stock in this destiny hogwash!" Basilio aka the unknown being says "Let the dead whine about their fate... As long as I draw breath, I choose to keep fighting. That's what Life is all about!"
"Khan Basilio! I-I thought... We all thought you were-" Lucina says.
The Khan only finishes for her "Worm food, back in Valm? It almost went that way. But I scraped by, thanks to you."
"I don't understand." The Princess-To-Be says.
The Khan explains "Once I took a couple hits from Walhart, I knew he was too strong for me. Normally pride would've had me dead before I'd even thought twice about it. But your warning gave me the courage to be a coward, hah ha! I played dead like a big, bald opossum! It wasn't hard. In truth I almost WAS dead. You saved my life, Lucina. Had you not said anything... I'd have stood my ground against that monster and died on the spot."
Lucina says "Oh, Basilio!"
"This...does...not...MATTER!" Validar shouts "If you didn't die there, then you can die HERE!" Then he realizes something and asks "Did you turn some of the plegians against The Grimaleal ways?"
"No, I didn't." Basilio says and then says "By the way, Hah! You're no Walhart, snake eyes! Not as strong, or even as clever... For example: you STILL haven't realized you've been tricked."
"What?!" Validar says.
"Robin uses the memories from his future self to change this battle's outcome." Basilio says.
"If you think-" Validar says.
"Guess what was in the memories? The Gemstones. When Flavia gave my stone to Chrom, Robin saw what fate had in store. He knew Chrom couldn't let you have the real gemstones here at the Dragon's Table. That would be like swinging a big, juicy steak right in front of destiny's choppers!"
Validar says "Gya ha ha! A worthy bluff, Feroxi fool, but ridiculous all the same. I've had your merry little band watched since Carrion Isle. Your every move! So I know Robin hasn't touched the stones-he hasn't been near them!"
"You watched our party, yes-the members your men knew abut; the live ones. But they weren't watching dead men, were they? ... They weren't watching me." Basilo says.
"I... No that's not-" Validar says.
"Heh, looks like it might be finally starting to sink in..." Basilio says.
Validar shouts "That is not Possible! These have to be... They must be..."
Basilio says"Why? Because of...DESTINY? PAH ha ha! Robin had your destiny beat days ago, when he came up with this plan. The expression on your face...it makes all those long nights in hiding worth it. Hah!"
Validar says "Damn you! Damn you to all the hells! None of this matters! Chrom is dead! Your fates sealed! Grima will-" Validar then hears shifting behind him and magic charging. He says "Eh?"
Robin shoots a Thoron at Validar, knocking Validar to his knees, and Chrom gets up.
Validar says "No..."
"Father! You're alive!" Lucina shouts.
"Robin...spared me...He weaken his magic...just before the strike..." Chrom says.
Validar shouts in agony and shouts "Damn you all, and your stones! I won't need them to kill you!"
"Ready to end this, Robin?" Chrom asks.
Robin replies "Let's do it. I'm ready to see what our true future has in store."
"We will. Now. Together." Chrom says.
Validar retreats to the right side of the bottom half of the map but sees he is the only one left of his grimaleal at the Dragon's Table. After using Cordelia's Rescue to get them over, On the next turn, Validar is killed by Robin.
Validar shouts "No... Nrgh! ... All Wrong!" He then says "Why... Why Would you squander your birthright... Robin...my son..." He then falls to ground.
Chrom says "We did it! We did it, Robin! We've altered our destiny! We... We've Won."
Suddenly Grima the Future Version of Robin appears.
"Grima!" Robin shouts.
Linda says "So you're the future version of my son who accepted becoming Grima."
Grima says "Yes. You may have altered the course of history, but not its destination."
"What Do you mean?!" Robin Asks Loudly.
"It is still written that Chrom died here at your hands." Grima says "Or, perhaps to be more precise...mine. I intended to unite myself with Robin the first moment I found him. But a woman got in the way. This woman was killed by me. Her name is Vannas. She is now a risen Archer."
Linda says "My Daughter? That's insane. Why would you kill your past self's sister?"
"Because I am no longer Robin but am Grima Instead." Grima says.
"I had a sister who protected me from Grima's Takeover?" Robin says.
"Yes, you do. I'm sorry you had to find out like this." Linda says.
Grima says "Back to what I was saying, after Vannas died, I found that your heart was still too weak to contain Grima's power... That shock of my attempt led to the memory wipe. I did everything in my power to make sure everything stayed the same by doing things here and there to make sure the things Lucina changed had someway of happening in another way. Like when Validar was killed in his attempt to assassinate Emmeryn... But that is the past, now. We have our future past to think of. All That remains is for you to become Grima, as I did. Then you and I will become as one, and we can reclaim my power."
"We are not yet the same? I won't ever do it in that case." Robin says.
Lucina, Morgan, and Linda is in awe at Robin's Determination.
"... You were suppose to chose Godhood over your pathetic band of servants. But if you'll not claim the sacrifice laid at the Dragon's Table... I will claim it in your place!" He starts claiming the Sacrifice at the Dragon's Table.
"What?!" Robin shouts.
He laughs evilly and says "The fell dragon and I are one! And though my journey through time has diminished my power... The life force here shall renew me!"
Robin runs towards his right and heads somewhere. Meanwhile Chrom, Lucina, Linda, and The Others of Chrom's Army run out of the Dragon's Table. A Lightning Strike from Grima almost strikes Lucina but Chrom pushes Lucina out of the way.
Chrom says "All right. Now what?"
Lucina says "Grima. It's all over..." She then shouts "That's Grima! That's the Demon who destroyed my world. And now he is among us..."
Linda says "Anyone know where Robin is?"
Lissa says "Yes, where is he?"
Frederick says "He will come. For now, Let's Speak of Grima." He then shouts "The Terrible size of it...gods! For once the legends spoke true. We can't face him, not in a straight battle-He'd kill us all!"
"If only we still had the Fire Emblem, we could ask Naga for her power. Then at least we'd have a chance." Chrom says.
Lissa says "But Validar took the Emblem!"
Chrom says "And It was lost inside the Dragon's Table... I know."
Robin then appears.
"Robin!" Linda shouts.
"What, you mean THIS Fire Emblem?" Robin says.
"The Emblem! But how..." Chrom says.
"I stole it from you once, remember? It is how we got in this whole mess. The Least I could do was steal it back." Robin says.
"Robin, you old dastard. You never cease to amaze! Quickly Now! We must complete the Awakening before Grima catches on!" Chrom says.
"It's said the first exalt paid tribute to Naga at a site on Mount Prism." Frederick says.
"Do you know where, Exactly?" Chrom says.
"Yes. There is an altar at the peak of the mountain. If milord would perform the Awakening, it must be done there." Frederick says.
"A small hope is better than no hope at all. Hurry, everyone!" Chrom says.
Lucina says "I thought I lost you in the Dragon's Table, Robin."
"Never shall you lose me unless Grima is dead." Robin says.
"I shall remember that." Lucina says.
