Mike AZ 2: Yeah, it's annoying that Izuka doesn't get his comeuppance until way late in Radiant Dawn. So I always imagine that in Part 1, Zihark beats him up offscreen.
AN: At last, we have arrived at the second last chapter, and the Endgame in Path of Radiance.
Enjoy the chapter readers!
Guest: Glad you're enjoying the fic. But yeah, part of it was unlucky level ups with Kieran. I always got RNG screwed with him as opposed to Makalov, which got level ups that make him usable. But the other part is his personality. I'm always under the impression that without constant supervision, he'd be dead a hundred times over before the game even get to the halfway point. But as I always say, if you like a certain character, that's totally fine with me. I'm just personally not a fan of him.
AN: (February 15th 2022) Okay... I'm alive... I know I said I'd get the eplouge done last year, but 2021 was just really awful for me and it kept kicking me down with problems.
The college program I was in during the January to April months last year is done and I still have to deal with loose ends (at the time of writing this) with the college. However, the stress of the whole semester and worrying about COVID because the city my college was in was a COVID hotzone, killed a lot of my desire to write as a result... I've gotten a lot of sick days from the stress and my mind just couldn't stay focused on writing this one damn chapter... and then my laptop decided to delete a bunch of files on me when I was trying to sort things with it, including most of the last chapter, so I had to do it over again... 2021 was a bad year...
Thankfully though, I'm doing alright now and I have the Eplouge about halfway done. No promises on when it'll be released though because I have other stuff I wish to try and write to distract myself from overthinking my personal problems.
As for whether this Fic will get a sequel, I've put some thought into it, but I may not be able to go through with it. Mainly because Radiant Dawn is a long game with a lot of characters to make a bulletin board for and it'll take more effort to come up with material for comedy. But if anyone wishes to take a shot at it and the amount of characters doesn't scare you, I say go for it!
Okay, that's all I wanted to say. Happy Belated Valentines Day and stay safe out there. Kudos Readers!
It may seem daunting… okay, REALLY daunting… But the end is within sight, so don't give up yet! Everyone focus on keeping the soldiers away from Ike and support him afar while he fights Ashnard! If what Ashnard said before the battle was true, then just leave him to Ike! … Damnit all of you! Don't try to take Ragnell from Ike just so you idiots can fight Ashnard!
-Titania. Extremely angry at all of you morons right now!
Astrid- While it took out 5 soldiers, was it honestly necessary to jump off your horse while killing them?
Bastian- Please stop trying to hit on Lucia while fighting! She's, made it clear she's not interested in you!
Boyd- You cannot make, and I quote, a tornado just from spinning around with your axe. But I will give points because you let go of your axe mid-spin and decapitated a Feral Dragon.
Brom- Okay, I'm not even going to ask where you were KEEPING all of those prison cell doors you had on you and will instead just tell you to keep doing your thing...
Calill- I never want to hear "Bow to your Sage Goddess!" come out of your mouth ever again. We already have too many egotists in this army!
Elincia- Yes, I am just as annoyed as you are by the fact that Ashnard is staring at this lunacy and LAUGHING! By the way, where did you find that dress you put on Geoffrey?
Ena- Why yes, those Energy Drops DID in fact, play a role as to why you're actually able to kill things now. Your magic ability wasn't going to do much if you can't even use it. "Okay, but if I go mad with power from the increased strength, I'm blaming you." Duly noted!
Devdan- I thought that I still made it clear that you're not using the Flame Lance, so give it back. ... What do you mean you just 'happened to find' another Flame Lance? Because Tauroneo will tell you right now for a fact that only one of them exists! So, give it back to Ilyana!
Gatrie- I don't know what I'm madder at you about. The fact that you kept making out with Astrid during the battle, or the fact that an enemy soldier managed to cut your armour and clothes off and you didn't even notice until Shinon pointed out that you were completely naked.
Geoffrey- You cannot say that I didn't tell you so. You try to tell Elincia to stay off the battlefield, she responds by thrashing you and making you wear a dress. Enjoy your punishment.
Giffca- And I thought Mordecai gave an impression. But you scared off most of the soldiers, and some of our own, positioned within the Capital with ONE roar.
Harr- You are STILL not the Legendary knight, Forde! Wake up and get back to killing things!
Ike- Your response to everyone trying to take Ragnell from you should NOT be immediately running away! Get back here and focus on fighting Ashnard!
Ilyana- Glad to see that your training with lances paid off. Because I saw you take out 5 enemies with that Flame Lance and then proceed to smoke 7 more with Rexbolt.
Janaff- Stop playing catch with Tibarn and Ulki and get back to killing things!
Jill- You'd think that Ashnard's head would be completely vulnerable because he apparently got his hands on Goddess-blessed armour that covers everything except his head. But... it seems he wasn't bluffing... Please stop trying to hit his head. You'll just break more axes.
Largo- Are YOU the one that showed Boyd how to do that 'Axe tornado'? Because if you are, you're now responsible for Boyd accidentally injuring 20 of our soliders.
Leanne- This is completely normal...ish... for this army. You either get used to the chaos, or you end up joining in... like you're doing right now by stealing bottles of Reyson's whiskey and throwing them at enemy sages casting fire spells before they can launch them at us so they'll catch fire and burn to death... *sigh*
Lethe- I don't care what it takes, just keep the other idiots from taking Ragnell!
Lucia- You cannot stab Bastian just for deciding to flirt with you while fighting. After the battle, however. He's all yours.
Makalov- Glad to know that the three didn't damage you TOO much for today's battle. Also thank you for NOT trying to take Ragnell from Ike. "The General would actually kill me if I tried." Fair point.
Marcia- Rather than ask how you're carrying that wine keg on a pegasus. I'll just point out that that keg was Reyson's, not Makalov's... Don't look at me! How the hell was I supposed to know that Tibarn's shenanigans would cause him to have a drinking problem over him?!
Mia- Ike is among, maybe six people here that could even remotely damage Ashnard because of his armour being similar to the Black Knight's. And you're not one of those six, so stop trying to take Ragnell from him!
Mist- While effective, you can just make beams come out of the sword rather than just tossing the thing at enemies... It's because you then have to pick up the sword again afterwards...
Mordicai- Keep going Chewbacca on the enemy until there's nothing left!
Muarim- Huh... Who would have thought that Tormod would be an effective club against Generals…? Well, keep at it.
Naesala- Save your payment demands until AFTER this battle ends! Besides, Daein is still broke at this point. Where would you even- "Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answers to." ...Noted.
Nasir- So if I have this right; Ena, being the child of both a Red Dragon and a White Dragon, leans more towards magic growth despite being born as a Pink 'Red Dragon'? ... Huh... I was wondering why you asked me to give all of those Energy Drops to her...
Nephenee- Please take this seriously and stop flashing yourself at the Daein soldiers! I don't care if it's working, it's happened one to many times in this campaign!
Oscar- I am not apologizing for the fact that you're a moron that insists on doing his "Axe Hunter" speech towards people who... you know... just want to kill you and move on! I would say go to Rhys, but he already said no to healing you.
Ranulf- So NONE of them gave any names on who's responsible for the Feral One process?! Even under the threat of doing much worse to them? Wow… this guy must lot a lot of blackmail material to keep them from talking…
Reyson- I don't care if it's the first drop of alcohol she's had in 20 years, take better control of Leanne whenever she's near your whiskey and wine stash or I'm tying you in chains and forcing you to address your Tibarn-related drinking problems to Rhys!
Rhys- So you finally had enough of Oscar's axe hunter stupidity and decided to go on strike against him... Does that include- Oh, it's only Oscar you're not healing? Carry on.
Rolf- You're just doing this to piss me off, aren't you? Well either way, I'm standing by my threat. Hand over the bow!
Shiharam- I never want to hear the phrase, "Special delivery of death!" come out of your mouth ever again! Also, why are you carrying a parcel bag-On second thought, don't answer that...
Shinon- I can't believe I'm saying this, but thank you for... ummm... pointing out what Gatrie didn't notice... I WILL hurt you if you continue acting smug about me thanking you.
Soren- Alright! Alright, Fine! I'll give you your tomes back if it would stop you from wearing a cheerleader outfit! Your tongue WILL be cut off if you actually do explain where you found it!
Sothe- I'm fairly certain that the Feral Ones aren't carrying anything of value, so I wouldn't bother with trying to steal from them.
Stefan- Just kill every enemy unit that heads your way until all of them die... What do you mean that they just died from looking at you?!
Tanith- Yes, we all saw how successful your version of the 'Triangle Attack' was. But please don't rub it in to Boyd that, and I quote, 'our version is better because we can FLY!' You gave him incentive to try and outdo you.
Tauroneo- Did... did you just PILEDRIVE a goddess damned DRAGON?! That doesn't seem physically possible!
Tibarn- You are to KILL the wyvern lords! Not use the flyers heads as 'balls' to play catch with Janaff and Ulki!
Tormod- It's only been half a day so far. You're continuing being a battering ram/club until the battle is officially over. "But I literally can't feel my everything…!" That means you're doing good. Keep it up.
Ulki- Stop playing catch with Tibarn and Janaff and get back to killing things! You supposed to the more reasonable one, damnit!
Volke- Just do your own thing and Lethality your way to victory... Oh NOW you decide to listen to me for once?! "Because annoying you is fun..." ... I hate you... "I love you, too."
Zihark (Mr. Crazy Go Insane)- You know what? I don't even care anymore. Do whatever horrible thing you desire to the Feral One handlers... "sigh" I hate my job...
AN: Wow, we're really at the end of this... Next chapter is the epilogue to this story.
