While The Heroes Are Relaxing in the Hot Spring
BGM: The Encounter - Metal Charge (Kingdom Hearts III)
"Port to starboard! PORT TO STARBOARD!"
A ship moved away from an attack from a massive Grimm. The Grimm in question was none other than the Sea Feilong. The Grimm shot out lightning attacks at the ship.
A few Huntsman and Huntresses tried to fight the thing off by firing their weapons, but the Sea Feilong was undeterred by this as it flapped its wings to push the boat away as it knocked away passengers off of the ship, including a few huntsman.
It dove down into the ocean and gobbled up the victims without hesitation. "We're getting slaughtered out here. There's no way we're going to make it at this rate! What do we do, captain?"
"Brace for impact!" He ordered as the Sea Feilong flew down and rammed into the ship, punching a giant hole into the ship and killing any passenger that was unfortunate enough to be in their way. The Sea Feilong would emerge from underwater and roared at the ship.
"We need to evacuate!"
"No! If we do, then we'll just be food for this thing."
"So we just die with the ship?!"
"It's been an honor."
The Sea Feilong charged up an electrical attack and shot at the ship… when suddenly, a large rock wall formed and blocked the attack while a rock covering formed at the holes of the ship. "What…?" The captain wondered.
End BGM
Footsteps approached the Grimm as everyone would see a woman walking toward the Grimm. "What is she doing? She can only do so much with an axe! …If that even is an axe!"
"Hmhmhm, bold of you to assume that Lady Edelgard doesn't have a weapon with her." A voice said as they turned to see Hubert casually drinking coffee.
"Why are you casually drinking coffee at a time like this?"
"Because I know her majesty can handle it."
The Feilong stared at the young woman as it fired a lightning bolt at her, but she conjured up a reflective fire shield to send it back to it. The Grimm let out a roar. "Do not worry everyone. I will handle this." She said as aura shot out of her eyes.
BGM: The Edge of Dawn (Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes)
Edelgard lifted herself off the ground until she was at eye level with the beast. The Grimm roared and lunged at Edelgard, biting down at her, but she flew out of the way and unleashed a stream of fire, hitting the Grimm on its cheek.
The Feilong flapped its wings to push Edelgard away, but she immediately recovered as it lunged at her, but she flew down as the Feilong chased after her. Edelgard smirked, turning around and delivering large fireballs to its face.
The Grimm snarled and shot an electric bolt, but Edelgard moved out of the way as it snapped its teeth at her, but Edelgard dodged as she swung Amyr at its head hard enough to make the Feilong's head to swing down from the impact. The Feilong retaliated by using this momentum to smack Edelgard with its tail into a rock spire.
"Mmmph!" Edelgard shook it off as the Feilong emerged out of the water and fired a point blank electric shock at her, knocking her clean into the water while also destroying the rock spire. The Feilong smirked, turning around back toward the ship.
As it got closer, an orange glow appeared underneath the water as a large stream of fire emerged from the water and struck the Feilong as the fire dissipated, revealing Edelgard to be above the creature as she got on top of its head. She clapped her hands as she conjured up orange axes and swords surrounding her as she swung her handsdown as the weapons embedded themselves into the Grimm.
The Grimm let out a roar as Edelgard backflipped off of the Feilong and fire punched it in the eye. The Feilong snarled as it lunged at Edelgard. Good, it's getting away from the ship. She thought as she turned around and clapped her hands before raising them up as fire swirled above her hands. The Feilong flew around Edelgard in a vortex-like shape. Edelgard smirked as she spread her arms out as she produced a fire tornado that engulfed herself and the Grimm.
Edelgard flew out of the flames as she conjured up fire lances and swords as she launched them into the tornado. The Feilong emerged from the flames and lunged at Edelgard, firing lightning bolts from its mouth at Edelgard, but she flew out of the way as the Feilong flapped its wings hard enough to send Edelgard into a small island. Edelgard recovered and stared at the creature lunging at her.
Edelgard aimed her hand at it as rock pillars shot out of the water and lunged straight at the Feilong. The Grimm twisted its body to avoid the rocks, but Edelgard manipulated it as more pillars came out from the sides and impaled the Grimm. Edelgard's body caught ablaze as she launched herself at the Grimm. The Feilong opened its jaws and snapped down, eating her alive.
The Sea Feilong turned its attention to the ship and flew toward it, but it stopped just as it arrived at the ship, it let out a whimper as it's neck started to turn orange before it violently exploded into flames as Edelgard burst out of it and landed on the ship. She turned around to see the Feilong fall back into the water, fading away into nothingness.
End BGM
Edelgard let out a sigh. "Mission accomplished." She said as she heard cheering. She turned around to see the remaining passengers and crew clapping for her. It was enough to make her blush. "O-oh… thank you!"
BGM: A Gentle Breeze (Fire Emblem: Three Houses)
"You are our savior!" The captain praised. "You saved us from that Grimm. We thank you for your effort to vanquish the terror of the sea."
"S-Savior?" She stammered. "I… I wouldn't necessarily call myself that…"
"What is your name, young lady? We are truly fortunate to have you with us."
"My name is Emperor Edelgard von Hresvleg and this is my retainer, Hubert."
"You're an emperor?" He said in surprise and bowed as did the rest of the passengers. "Forgive us, your excellency… we did not know."
"At ease. You don't have to do that." Edelgard insisted as everyone rose. "I'm not from around here, but I am looking for something."
The captain smiled. "Don't we all?" He chuckled. "Where are you headed?"
"I'm trying to find my way to Vacuo. For the past few weeks, I've been journeying across Remnant to find it. However, I've had no such luck, especially when the Grimm attacking our ships at every turn. That said, places like Mistral and Menagerie are very hospitable."
The captain smiled. "You're in luck. You picked the right ship! We were headed our way to Vacuo to deliver supplies. However, I believe that Grimm may have destroyed a few of our cargo."
"It's better to lose a few than lose it all." Edelgard pointed out.
"Indeed. Now, sit tight and enjoy the ride, your highness." He said as the ship sailed off to Vacuo.
End BGM
Once at Vacuo…
"Here we are, Vacuo! Hope you like the town, it's far laid back." He said.
"Thank you." Edelgard thanked him as she and Hubert walked off the ship as supplies started to unload.
BGM: Market (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)
Edelgard and Hubert walked along town, the both of them looked around to see friendly folk going around and enjoying their day. "Seems like a lively town." Hubert said.
"Indeed."
"Hey! You!" A shop owner grabbed a man as Edelgard and Hubert turned their heads. "What do you think you're doing stealing a loaf of bread!"
"Back off man, I'm hungry! I don't have any money…"
"You know the law!" He pulled out a scimitar. "GIVE ME YOUR HAND!"
"No, stop! I just want to eat!" He was pulled down onto the market stand and raised his arm up in the air. "STOP! NO! I BEG OF YOU!"
"Lively with personality to it. Fascinating." Hubert said as he took Edelgard's arm and kept walking. "No need for compassion, Lady Edelgard, he made his choice."
"But, wait…!"
"AUUUUUUUUGH!"
"It's too late for him anyway."
Edelgard shivered. "I didn't think a market place would be so… violent."
"Well, we are in a different continent with it's own set of laws." Hubert explained. "Chopping off a hand for stealing something as insignificant as bread would be considered the norm here."
"I feel like it's a bit much…"
"I'd say it's not enough. Now if that sword had magical capabilities and was able to chop the whole arm off, I'd say that would be perfect."
"It's barbaric!"
"He'll be fine. He has another hand, doesn't he?" Hubert waved it off. "Besides, he's learned a valuable lesson."
"Never live here?" She deadpanned.
"No. It's not to steal."
Edelgard sweatdropped. "I suppose, even if it is extreme."
Hubert glanced at a bulletin board as they went through town. "Oh ho, what's this?" He walked over to it.
"What are you-"
"It seems we have some troublemakers still at large." Hubert said.

"Is this all of Team MAJC?" Edelgard wondered.
"Apparently they've done some shenaningans here." Hubert mused.
"They're not criminals…" Edelgard walked off.
"Now what did the knucklehead do for a warrant that huge?" Hubert wondered as he walked off.
"Excuse me." Edelgard said to a local. "Would you mind telling me where Shade Academy is at?"
"Oh, of course. Just walk straight ahead and turn left at the intersection. Can't miss it."
"Thank you." Edelgard smiled.
"Anytime. Now, how's about you and I go out later tonight. Alone. Just the two of-" Edelgard knee'd him in the gut, making him hunch over.
"Not interested." She said and walked off.
"Ooooow…"
"Good thinking. I would've burnt him alive." Hubert chuckled as they walked ahead before stopping at the intersection and turned, seeing Shade Academy in front of them.
"My word… it's breathtaking." Edelgard said in awe.
"Shall we then?" Hubert asked.
"Yes."
The two of them walked up the stairs, which was more steps than they thought there would be. "Phew… this is a lot more steps than I had anticipated."
"It's deceiving." Hubert said as he looked behind him before grabbing Edelgard's arm. "Come with me." He said and teleported up the stairs.
"Wah!" She yelped. "…Okay, that's better." She said as they walked in.
End BGM
Once they walked in, they would both see that inside the academy was filled to the brim with students wearing casual clothing and having their weapons on their person at all times. "Huh… this is a school, right? I was expecting the dress code to be more… strict."
"Perhaps this is their choice of lifestyle."
"Goodness, I feel overdressed…" Edelgard sweatdropped.
"You did shop at Mistral, I'm surprised you didn't change into a more casual outfit."
"I do not believe empires have room for "casualness"."
"Well, you seem more relaxed after you were cured." Hubert pointed out. "So why not take the time to wear something more comfortable?"
"I don't see you wearing any casual clothing."
"I will wear casual clothing if I see fit."
"Fair enough." Edelgard walked through. Let's see… the vault should be in this building somewhere. She thought.
Hubert glanced over at the students giving them hard looks. "It appears we've attracted attention."
"Hmm?" Edelgard snapped out of her thoughts. "Oh, hello there."
"Who the hell are you?" A student asked rudely.
"Yeah, you look like you're from Haven Academy!"
"No, wait, with that uniform, they look like they belong to Atlas!"
"HA! I'd say they're from that loser academy… what was it again… oh right, Beacon! You're not welcome here!"
"Piss off!"
"I feel like we should put them in their place." Hubert said.
"Now now, let's play it cool." Edelgard whispered. "You're certainly the most… welcoming of this establishment." She said sarcastically. "However, I believe everyone is just a little stressed. We are not here to cause any harm."
"That still doesn't give us anything about who the hell you are!"
"I am Emperor Edelgard von Hresvelg and this is Hubert. We are not from around here."
"Oh my Oum, who gives a shit!"
"Emperor? You want us to get on our knees and bow to you?"
"Hresvelg? That sounds Atlesian to me! You're from that shitty academy, aren't you!"
"Go to hell!"
"Charming." Hubert rolled his eyes.
"You better leave or else!"
Oh please… Edelgard thought. "We don't want to cause a scene. We just came in peace. If you'll excuse us, we must-" She shifted her eyes to see an axe thrown at her. She quickly grabbed the handle without even flinching. Edelgard closed her eyes as the axe caught ablaze before disintegrating.
"MY HATCHET!"
"We do not wish to fight, but if you continue this hostility-" Edelgard took out Amyr. "We will not hold back." She warned as darkness surrounded Hubert's hands. The students slowly backed up, feeling quite intimidated by the sight of the otherworldliness from Amyr.
"Students!" A voice bellowed. "Cease your hostility."
The students turned around and cheered. "Headmaster Theodore!" They all cheered.
That's their headmaster? Edelgard thought, looking at his attire.
He has dark, close cut hair which is almost shaved off, and a checkered vest shows off his wiry frame thin but with sharp lines of muscle like he had been chiseled from stone. He also wears an ankle length, grey-blue cape likened to the color of a storm sky which is clasped onto his shoulders with a silver chain, a silver belt with a round buckle, matching boots, and bright white slacks with deep side pockets. He also had red gloves on.
…Is he colorblind or is his fashion sense worse than Lucina's? Edelgard wondered.
"You two. You will have to come with me to my office." He said as both of them nodded. They walked right into an elevator.
"Yeah! Put them in their place!"
"Execute them!"
They went into the elevator and went up to his office. "My apologies." Theodore said. "No matter how many times I've tried to tell my students to behave when we have visitors, they will not listen. They believe camaraderie is for the weak."
"Don't you have teams like Beacon?" Edelgard asked.
"Yes… however, they are more set on survival. They work together as a necessity yet they don't often communicate. Honestly, I know we have a more lax academy compared to like, Atlas and Mistral, but still."
"Perhaps they should be taught a lesson." Hubert said.
"That's the thing… we've tried that yet they don't seem to grasp it."
"Hmm… I see."
"Well, I'm glad someone has a clear head. Thank you, professor." Edelgard smiled.
"Ah, I detest being called such a name. Just call me Theodore."
"Very well."
"And you two are?"
"Emperor Edelgard von Hresvelg."
"I am her retainer, Hubert von Vestra."
"Hmm, such long titles. How about I just call you El and Hube for short?"
"That will work." Edelgard smiled while Hubert quietly mouthed "Hube?" in offense.
Ding!
Theodore walked into his office with Edelgard and an offended Hubert behind him. The two of them would see that it was a large space with various portraits surrounding them. Said portraits were:
Ozpin and Theodore shaking hands
Leonardo Lionheart
James and Esdeath Ironwood
Qrow Branwen
A young girl in a checkered dress, holding a pet dog.
Various Shade Academy staff
"So, what can I do for you two?" He asked.
"We're looking for something valuable. Ozpin has sent us here as a favor."
"Ah, Ozzy boy, eh? What for?"
"You see, this might sound absolutely crazy… but are you familiar with the Summer Maiden?"
"Victoria? Of course! She watches over Vacuo and protects its towns from Grimm and bandits. Although I haven't heard from her for a few months. She went off to go visit Beacon Academy to see if her good friend Amber had made a speedy recovery. Unfortunately, ever since that broadcast had happened regarding, I believe his name was Omelette Man, she hasn't checked in with everyone."
Edelgard closed her eyes. "That is because she perished."
"What?!" Theodore looked on in surprise. "But how can this be? She was powerful!"
"Because she was ambushed by Those Who Slither in the Dark and was killed by one of their experiments. I should know… I was there when I caught wind of this." She said. "Victoria passed her powers on to me." She activated her Maiden powers. "And now I am the Summer Maiden."
"My word… who is this Slithering in the Shadows?"
"I am not from Remnant. I come from a different world, hailing from the land of Fodlan." Edelgard said and explained what had happened.
"I see… so Those Who Slither in the Shade forced you into this by no other choice. You had found Victoria dying in their prison but you could not save her, so she passed on her Maiden powers to you?"
"Yes. And now Those Who Slither are no more. Fodlan is now at peace."
"I find this hard to believe…" Theodore looked out the window. "Of course, there's also that thing with Omelette Man making that broadcast to the entire world. He even outed the Sword of Destruction lying here in Vacuo. There's also the Big One we have to worry about, and by "Big One", I mean Salem." He turned to them. "How long did it take to get to Vacuo?"
"It took us a few weeks, we kept getting on the wrong ships and we were attacked by Grimm. However, these past few weeks, I've manage to perfect my powers." Edelgard said. "Everywhere we went, we were met with hospitality."
"However, the both of us sensed darkness from Haven Academy. Lady Edelgard mentioned that she felt Professor Lionheart put himself into a corner and can't get himself out of it."
"Yes… Leonardo has been acting a bit off lately. I figured he was just stressed." Theodore shrugged it off.
"I feel as if it's more than that. He's hiding something…" Edelgard said
Theodore furrowed his eyebrows as he was looking out the window. "Perhaps." He turned around and sat down on his chair, slowly reaching underneath his desk as if he was looking for something. "So what do you want with the Sword of Destruction?"
"We were hoping to take it off your hands, so we can take it back to Adrestia."
"I see…" Theodore closed his eyes. "This is… rather unfortunate." He said as guards suddenly opened the doors. "I am rather sorry, but I do not believe your story."
"What?" Edelgard asked in surprise.
"Victoria is dead and you have the power of the Maiden. You claim Those Who Lay in the Blackest Dark were responsible, yet with a name as ridiculous as that, there's no doubt in my mind that you have murdered her and you are an agent of Salem. Take these two away." He said as the guards handcuffed them before they had the chance to fight back.
"What is the meaning of this?! We're on your side!" Edelgard yelled.
"Clearly, you are making a mistake."
"We wouldn't harm you! We oppose Salem as well!" She said as they were escorted out of the room.
Theodore said nothing as he clasped his hands together and waited, and then the doors were kicked open. "Hello Theo, my boy!"
"…Tyrian." He said unenthusiastically.
"I couldn't help but feel as if the Summer Maiden is here. Tell me, you wouldn't happen to be harboring her, would you?"
"Hmph. In case if you must know, she is not here."
"Ah, but you spotted me out the window and I could see your lips moving. Tell me, where is she?" He asked as he moved his cybernetic scorpion tail to his head, the stinger inches from his face.
"I was only merely talking with Xanthe. The Summer Maiden is not here."
"Hmhmhmhm, but my instincts are telling me that she is here! Hmhmhmhmhmhm~! I'll find her… you're a bold one for lying to my face. I commend that!" He smirked as he walked out the door. "I will find her, take the relic and give it to Lady Salem!"
Edelgard… hurry…
With the duo…
The guards walked through the hallways, making a right as they would open up a door and kept walking. Edelgard would make a note that the guards were power walking to their destination. "Why take us to the cells in a hurry?" She asked as the guards said nothing and kept walking.
"Her Excellency has spoken and you will address her!" Hubert ordered.
"It's no use, Hubert. They won't listen." Edelgard said as they found themselves in the dungeons as they kept walking until they reached a wall.
"Oh, lovely. They're going to chain us to a wall." Hubert said as the guard pushed in a brick, which would cause the wall to open up. "Correction, they'll bury us in the wall."
"You better start explaining!" Edelgard demanded as they went into the wall where they would find a unique elevator, then they would start going down.
"Yeah, they're taking us to the deepest pits of hell to where we won't be seen ever again. Theodore, you slime…" Hubert growled as the elevator stopped about a minute later.
"Turn around." One of the guards ordered as they turned around… to see a vault door in front of them.
"What… is that?" Edelgard asked.
"That is the Vault that contains the Sword of Destruction." The other guard explained as they undid the handcuffs. "Apologies, but Theodore pressed the "Maiden Emergency" button in case if there was a threat to your very life."
"He also pressed the "Escort to the vault" button too."
"So he protected us…" Hubert mused. "Heh, he shall live… for now."
"Let's go." The four of them walked over the bridge toward the orange vault that was before their eyes.
"Hmhmhmhmhm~" A voice echoed.
"…You didn't close the door behind you, didn't you?" Hubert asked.
"No, protocol dictated that the wall was to remain open for safety reasons. You don't see another way out, do you?" The guard asked as Hubert looked down the bridge to see sharp rock spires.
"I suppose not." Hubert said as Edelgard hurried up to the vault door and opened it up, where she would see trees with many different colored leaves. Leaves were scattered everywhere on the ground as there was a walkway, complete with a marble gazebo in front of a large beautiful lake, filled with lilypads and grass poking out of the surface. Flowers were also blooming around the perimiter of the lake.
"Whoa…"
Tyrian landed on the bottom of the elevator. "Aha! So the Relic reveals itself!" He said as Edelgard and Hubert turned around.
The guards brought out their spears. "Quickly. You must get to the Sword of Destruction. We'll hold him off!"
"Right!" Edelgard nodded as the two of them ran toward the Sword of Destruction.
"Hmhmhmhmhmhm~ Are you two her bodyguards? You don't look like much!" Tyrian charged at them as the guards lunged at Tyrian.
Edelgard and Hubert entered the gazebo as platforms rose out of the water where a pedestal rose up with the Sword of Destruction embedded in it. "There it is!" Hubert said as Edelgard flew up toward the pedestal. She grabbed a hold of it with both hands on the hilt and with all her strength, she pulled it out of the pedestal.
The sword glowed brightly as the blade glowed blue and the hilt was yellow. Edelgard felt immense power from it as Hubert walked over the platforms. "It's beautiful." She said in awe as she pressed her hand against the blade.
As she did, time seemed to slow down to a crawl as Tyrian had whacked the first guard off of the bridge with his tail while he headbutted the other guy. Time immediately stopped right after he headbutted him, then blue smoke surrounded the two before a figure emerged from the sword.
BGM: Nimue Lady of the Lake (Sonic and the Black Knight)
The figure was blue all around, with long hair that covered a small portion of her breasts while also wearing a white dress.
Edelgard and Hubert looked on in awe, staring at such beauty before them. "Mmm…" The spirit stretched before looking at them with a calming expression. "That was a wonderful nap…"
"Are you… the spirit of the sword?" Edelgard asked.
"Indeed I am. I am Morgan, the being who resides in the Sword of Destruction." She said with a calming voice. "I take it that you are the Summer Maiden."
"Indeed I am. I am Empress Edelgard von Hresvelg."
"A pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency." Morgan curtsied. "I suppose you will be needing my power to assist you?"
"Yes. I will be taking you some place safe far away from Remnant."
"Oh? Is Salem acting like a child again? Honestly, she just needs a good spanking." Morgan rolled her eyes. "But very well, I am curious to see where you will take me. But perhaps if you get called back to Remnant, perhaps you could take me along with you? It's been a while since I've seen a good fight."
Edelgard chuckled. "Very well." She turned around to see Tyrian. "I suppose we have no choice but to fight him."
"Perhaps we could teleport out of here."
"Considering he followed us, he'll be on our tails the moment we leave."
"Ah, so killing him is in order?"
"If it comes to that, yes."
Hubert smirked. "Music to my ears."
"Call me if you ever need a boost in strength, He looks like he needs a good butt whooping." Morgan said as she disappeared into the sword. Edelgard held the sword tightly in her hand.
"Shall we, Lady Edelgard?"
End BGM
"We shall." Edelgard nodded as the two of them walked out of the vault right where time resumed as Tyrian grabbed the guard and snapped his neck.
"AAAAAAAAAAAH!" The guard that had fallen was immediately impaled by the sharp rock spire, enough to go right through him as blood splattered everywhere as he coughed out blood before falling limp.
Tyrian turned his attention toward the two. "Ah, so you must be the new Summer Maiden!" Tyrian smirked.
"You have a name?" Edelgard asked.
"You may call me Tyrian." Tyrian said. "And what is your name?"
"Emperor Edelgard." Edelgard readied herself as did Hubert.
"Emperor, eh? Well, your excellency… you would make a fine trophy for Lady Salem!" Tyrian hunched over with a sadistic grin. He even licked his lips with a devilish chuckle. "I'm sure she will be thrilled when you give her the relic!"
"Tell your "Lady" that she can go fornicate herself by jumping off a bridge." Edelgard spat.
"Ohohoho, feisty~!" Tyrian smirked as he hunched over in a feral like state. "I love it when my victims try to act all tough." He let out a sadistic laugh. "It gives me great PLEASURE!"
"Let's see if you'll feel pleasure after this." Hubert said, unleashing Miasma Delta on him.
"Rrrgh! Mhmhmhmhmhmhmhm! Cute trick… now it's time for me to my own magic! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" He laughed as he lunged over.

Sadistic Lunatic - Tyrian
Tyrian quickly got between the two as his tail wrapped around Edelgard as he kicked Hubert away. Edelgard quickly used the sword on his tail to make it let go. Edelgard would launch away and threw fireballs at him.
Tyrian licked his lips, flicking away the fireballs as he lunged at Edelgard, delivering quick punches and kicks to Edelgard. The latter was knocked down as Tyrian got on top of her while laughing, but Edelgard took a deep breath and exhaled fire from her mouth, knocking Tyrian off of her as Hubert cast Luna Lambda on him.
Edelgard's fist caught ablaze as she delivered a strong punch to his face, knocking Tyrian back as Edelgard swiftly and gracefully swung the Sword of Destruction. Tyrian casually blocked with his tail with a smirk as he attempted to stab her with the stinger, but Edelgard parried gracefully as she countered by slashing at his face.
"Hmhmhmhmhm! You're quite skilled!" He laughed off the pain like it was nothing, which was enough to unnerve Edelgard.
Is he masochistic?! She thought as Hubert cast Banshee on him. Tyrian found himself slowed down as a result. "Well now!" Tyrian smirked as he swung his tail at Edelgard, but she ducked and sweep kicked him, before delivering a fiery uppercut, then she swiftly slashed at him while Hubert unleashed a stream of fire.
Tyrian saw the fire and ducked, then break danced as he swept Edelgard off her feet as he swung his tail down, striking her in her right thigh as she winced. "Uh oh, looks like I got you~! I wonder how long you will last against my poison~!" He said in a sing songy voice.
Edelgard growled, lifting herself off the ground as she threw down large fireballs at him. Tyrian jumped back as he felt his speed returning, he quickly turned around and rushed at Hubert, dodging his magic spells as he headbutted him and sweep kicked him. Edelgard conjured up a fire bow and arrow, and fired a few fire arrows, striking Tyrian in the back.
Tyrian turned his head, smirking as he lunged at Edelgard. He jumped into the air as Edelgard did the same, both of them meeting in midair as they swung their weapons, both of them clashing until Tyrian wrapped his tail around him and struck Edelgard in the side. "Mmph!" Edelgard winced as the tail wrapped around her and he threw her into the ground as his tail wrapped around her neck.
"It's interesting! It's as if you turned off your aura just so you could make this easier on me!"
"Rrrgh… it's because I'm not from Remnant."
"You're an outworlder? So-hahahahaha! You're just an ordinary girl with no special talent! You don't even have a semblance!"
"Don't need one!" She said, snapping her fingers as the ground underneath Tyrian punched him to knock him into the air as Edelgard landed on her feet. She gritted her teeth as she felt the stinging poison affect her as Tyrian landed on the ground.
"Your clock is ticking~!"
"That's it… Morgan! I could use your assistance!"
"As you wish, Your Highness!"
Purple aura surrounded Edelgard as she felt a wave of power coursing through her. "HRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" She yelled.
"Oooh, this got interesting!" Tyrian smirked as Edelgard's eyes turned purple with the aura in her eyes also turning purple. She raised her arm up in the air and swung her sword down as a shockwave of purple flames was thrown out. Tyrian matrix dodged the purple flames going above him as Edelgard punched the groud as purple crystals surrounded the bridge with said crystals exploding and turning Tyrian into a pincushion.
"Heheheh… ooooh, I never felt so ALIVE!" Tyrian smirked, not caring if his aura was flickering as he lunged directly at Edelgard where she did the same. Both of them swung their weapons as they both clashed again, this time with a shockwave that made Shade Academy, and the city itself, shake.
Purple flames surrounded the Sword of Destruction as the fire gave it extra length to the size of a longsword as Edelgard lunged at Tyrian again as he was ready to block with his tail, but instead of going overhead, she swung to the side as Tyrian's eyes widened as the sword cut through his legs, just above his knees. "AAARGH!" He cried as Edelgard would then deliver another swing, cutting off half of his robotic tail.
"Hubert, to me!" She ordered as Hubert teleported to her as Edelgard swung the sword down as the bridge shock before it started to crack, then it crumbled as Tyrian and the bridge fell into the depths below, then Hubert would teleport Edelgard and himself out of the vault.
End BGM
"Hah… hah…" Edelgard fell on both knees as the added power disappeared.
"Here, eat this." Hubert pulled out a Pecha Berry. "I found this growing at Mistral, I figured this would be useful."
"You held on to it…" Edelgard said as she took a bite, where she immediately felt the poison wearing off. "Thank you."
"Any time, m'lady." He said as she stood up.
"Thank you, Morgan."
"You are very welcome, Your Excellency."
"Please… call me El."
"As you wish." Morgan chuckled as Edelgard took a few steps, but nearly collapsed.
"Nngh… what…? Why do I feel like my energy is gone?"
"Apologies, I had forgotten to mention that when you use my power, not only does it last five minutes, but in turn, it drains your energy completely. Thankfully, your energy should be back completely within five hours."
"Glad… glad you brought that up now instead of battling that lunatic." Edelgard chuckled as she wrapped her arm around Hubert as they walked away together, and once they walked out of the dungeon, they saw Theodore waiting for them.
"Oh thank heavens you are alright. At least you are okay." He said. "Forgive me, I was in a bit of a hurry to protect you from that Faunus."
"No… it's alright. You did the right thing." Edelgard smiled.
"You know, you could always stay in Vacuo."
"No thank you. My home lies in Adrestia. However, if you ever need assistance, let me know. I won't hesitate to come aid you."
Theodore smiled. "Thank you. Now, allow me to escort you out and away from those troublemakers."
"No need, we have our own way out of here." Edelgard said. "Hubert."
"Right." Hubert nodded as he teleported them away.
"…Oh, well, I guess that works." He said as he walked off with a hum.
Back on the ship…
"Oh! You guys came back." The captain said. "Did you find what you were looking for?"
"Yes. We did." Edelgard nodded.
"Excellent. Where are you headed now?"
"Take us to Vale." She requested.
"As you wish!" He said as he walked off, while Edelgard brought out her scroll and contacted Ozpin.
"Hello?"
"We got the Sword of Destruction." Edelgard smiled.
"Ah, excellent! Ya know, I'm surprised it took you that long to find it."
"Let's just say… we did some sight seeing."
"You got lost, didn't you?" Ozpin teased.
Edelgard blushed. "Maybe we did… a little."
Ozpin chuckled. "Well, at least the Sword of Destruction is in good hands. Tell Morgan I said hello."
"Will do." She nodded as the ship took off for Vale.
Meanwhile, back in the vault…
A hand reached for the surface as Tyrian pulled himself up. "Rrrgh… mmmph! Grraaaaah!" He grunted as he crawled to the elevator before panting. "That brat… she'll pay dearly for that." He said before smirking. "I'll find her and I'll gut her like a fish! Hmhmhmhmhm… hahahahaha… AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" His maniacal laughs echoed throughout the vault.
Ibuki: He lived?!
He lived.
Ibuki: Oh boy...
Anyway, the Xbox/Bethesda presentation was phenomenal! I give it a 9.5/10! ...That SAID however... Todd. Buddy. Buddy. You are literally pulling a No Man's Sky on Starfield! Seriously, this is a Fallout x No Man's Sky game. You're able to explore like Fallout and travel to every single solar system in existence just like No Man's Sky. And uh... considering how No Man's Sky turned out before all the patches... yeeeeeeeeah, I've a feeling this is gonna blow up in your face. I could be wrong though, but... there's ambition and then there's THAT.
