Exhaustion, lack of complete knowledge on the Fire Emblem series, being overwhelmed, doing other stuff, getting a haircut (a much needed one), among other things, caused working on this kinda slow. There's also the fact that I'll be graduating from high school and, while I do want to be an animator, I don't really have a college to go to. I'm scared about the future, being honest.
Let's move aside from my personal thoughts and reasoning why this took a while. This story will be a bit of a long one, so I need to buckle down and do it.
Fire Emblem belongs to Nintendo, Intelligent Systems, etc. Kamen Rider belongs to Toei, Bandai, etc. All OCs belong to their owners.
Previously on Kamen Rider Hero…
Takeshi: Hmm… looks like the Plegian forces at blame here…
Tiki-chan: Leave the explanations to me!
Takeshi: Tiki?
Tiki-chan: She was taken captive. It's been several months since then and her being spotted in the now Plegian controlled Ferox is the only lead. *Takeshi nodded*
Takeshi: You've gotta be kidding me.
Tiki-chan: You're really hung up on that?
Takeshi: ...no. Mildly irritated, but still…
Tiki-chan: Well, if she's in the Arena, you can go look for her…
Robin: ...Henshin.
Hero: What the heck?! I'm on your side!
Robin: No you aren't… I'm certain of that now...
Kamen Rider Robin continued to attack Kamen Rider Hero, hand-to hand, with Hero going on the defensive.
"Seriously Robin! I'm on your side!" Hero yelled as he ducked behind a Risen, which Robin knocked away with a smack of his tome, "I'm not your enemy Robin!"
"I've heard of somebody going around calling themself a hero when they're really evil… and that's you."
"I'm not evil!" Hero yelled as he ducked from lightning blasts from the tome, "Tch… need a good plan…"
"Ok," Tiki-chan smiled as she flew to his buckle and pulled out a green card, "Use this."
Hero looked and saw a yellow and silver colored axe depicted on it, "Oh yea! The weapon triangle!"
He then quickly loaded the card into the slot on his phone.
=ATTACK RIDE: ...AXE!=
Hero stood ready for a weapon to emerge, but nothing happened. Tiki-chan and Robin both stared at him in confusion before Robin punched Hero back. Hero was sent flying backwards… minus his yellow horn atop his helmet. He looked and then saw that the horn had fallen off… before it turned into the axe, the yellow horn duplicating and then filling out. Hero dashed over and grabbed it, ready for action.
Kowashitai daijisou ni kakaeta watashi o zenbu (I'm breaking down all the walls I've built up around my lonely heart now) *Takeshi held his phone in his hand before he was seemingly absorbed into it.*
Kimi ga kono kodoku o itami o iyasu no (You're the one that takes it all away, my solitude and all my pain) *His phone was now attached onto his wrist and his Driver was in position.*
Reincarnation Realization *The Kamen Ride Hero card slipped out and into the phone insertion.*
Reincarnation kiete shimaitai (I want to disappear…) *Takeshi now stood on the ground as Kamen Rider Hero.*
Kamen Rider Hero
Nemuranai machi no zawameki aisouwarai no yuutsu (I walk alone through the city of lights, I see the same fake smiles every night) *Takeshi was now back in the real world and had his phone in his hand, playing Fire Emblem Heroes.*
Honne nante itsuka doko ka mienai furi (Cause everyone hides...they run and they hide from their real feelings.) *The game then had all of the characters seemingly vanish. Takeshi then took his phone and put it into position*
Dare datte fuan nante sonna (And everyone's got their stresses too, yeah I know) *Hero was seen punching and kicking various Risen foes, knocking them away, before he turned to see the fractured stained glassed windows of the nine worlds.*
Iwarenakutemo wakatteru (But I already get that's the status quo. I'm breaking down…) *Kamen Rider Marth, Ike, Robin, Micaiah, Roy and Lucina all stood and seemed fractured as well. Hero stood in the center of the six, glancing towards the three without representation.*
Kowashitai daijisou ni kakaeta tsuyogari nante (All the masks that I wear to hide my lonely heart now) *He took the six cards and loaded them into his card scanner, now being armed with the Fire Emblem itself. The cloaked woman walked over to him and simply smiled.*
Demo sunao ni narenai (But what if I'm just lying to myself?) *Takeshi stared at his phone for a moment before he was joined by Tiki-chan, who was initially in her distance form then in her normal form, who then smiled at him*
Mayottemo nayan demo kimi ga motomeru nara (If even now, you still want me when I am hurt,wandering lost in the rain) *Takeshi and the green orb both stood between the worlds, looking towards the six Riders and three silhouetted figures.
Semete kono kodoku o itami o kowashite (The at least help me destroy it all… My solitude, and all my pain) *Takeshi now stood as Kamen Rider Hero and reached out to them, trying to save them.*
Reincarnation Realization *Takeshi was now back in his base and held out the Kamen Rider Hero card.*
Reincarnation umarekawaritai (I want to be reborn) *He then turned towards the reader and gave a simple smile, showing off the Hero card.*
Emblem 03: Awakening A Heart
Back at the base, Frederick was roaming around and simply looked to a room he had set up for Lissa assuming that they found her. He let out a small sigh as he recalled one of the last moments they had spent together before she was kidnapped…
"...did you seriously not enjoy ANY of it?" Lissa inquired.
"Well… I can't say it was… entirely enjoyable… the time we spent exploring was a new and valuable experience."
"Oh, goody! I'm so happy to hear that."
"If you are happy, then I am happy, milady."
"Milady… why did you need to vanish?" he sighed. Frederick then felt something in his head and quickly began to head for the door.
"Frederick, something wrong?" Chrom asked as he saw him running.
"Robin has sent me a mental message. He says there's a traitor in our midst and he's cornered him, but needs help."
"Go."
Frederick charged out and had a buckle appear on his waist, taking out a tome with an axe depicted on it, "Henshin!"
He loaded it in and his appearance didn't alter much. He still had his silver armor, but now had a helmet that was a slight mix of the helmets of Kamen Riders Brave and Baron, and the belt buckle.
Hero slashed at Robin with the axe he had, while evading slashes from Robin's Levin Sword, "You certainly like that blade."
"Thank you. My wife helped me get it," Robin responded.
"Why did you marry her? Honest question here." Hero asked before he got smacked in the back by a powerful axe strike.
"Uh… incoming?" Tiki-chan muttered nervously.
"Frederick!" Robin smiled.
"Who is this guy?" Frederick asked Robin.
"A person in a white cloak came to warn me about him…"
"He calls himself a hero, but is really a source of evil…" a person, their gender not noticeable, in what could best be described as a white version of the Organization 13 cloak told Robin.
"What does he want?"
"I'm not sure… but he might be looking to hurt your loved ones…"
"I would never!" Hero yelled, but got himself bashed from a slash from Fredericks' axe, which looked like the AxCalibur minus the dragon details and the hand symbol, making him groan loudly, "...gotta get outta here…"
Hero managed to evade attacks from the two and loaded in a card to his phone.
=ATTACK RIDE: ...INVISIBLE!=
Hero turned invisible and got away from the two Riders. Robin took out his tome and reverted back to normal.
"Well… I guess they know we're here now. Think we should see if we can locate Lissa?" Robin asked, but Frederick was already gone, "...guess that's a yes."
"Where's Robin?" Olivia nervously asked Chrom.
"He said he found a traitor in our midst and is fighting him off," Chrom informed.
Olivia gave a nervous gulp and simply gave a worried look. Just as she was about to walk away however, Takeshi had returned to the base, slightly injured, "Oh my…"
"Soldier, what happened?!" Chrom asked.
"Uh… I encountered the traitor and tried to hold him off until help arrived."
"Olivia, see if you can help heal him,"
Olivia nodded and guided Takeshi to the medical area, Tiki-chan following, while Chrom began to think out some plans.
Lissa was held under a deep sleep spell and being watched by Aversa and Gangrel. The woman simply looked at the young princess from Ylisse and was thinking up plans.
"So many things we can do with her…" Aversa commented as she thought aloud, "I wonder how the Exalt would react to her being dead?"
"No. We need her alive."
"I'm just wondering how he'd react is all…" Aversa responded with a roll of her eyes, "Oh… better idea… put her under hypnosis so she'll obey us…"
"So… do you know who attacked you?" Olivia asked Takeshi as she bandaged up a cut on his back.
"No. Whoever it was was in a mask…" Takeshi responded.
Olivia gave a nod as she brushed a wet rag against Takeshi's arm.
"...mind my asking something?"
"Go ahead… I guess…"
"What made you fall for Robin?"
The pinkette blushed heavily and hesitated to answer, "He's just… supportive…"
Takeshi gave a nod and watched as the girl simply began to let her mind wander a bit.
"I want to build a theater…" Olivia told Robin, blushing a bit.
"A theater? You mean, with a stage and seats and stands and everything?"
"Yes! And fly lofts and trapdoors and a huge proscenium arch!" Olivia smiled, "A place where people from all walks of life can experience the wonder of dance!"
"When you say dance, are you referring to YOUR dancing?"
"Well… kinda, yeah. Why? Does that sound egotistical? Because I-"
"Wonderful! I'll be the first in line when it opens!"
"Why, thank you, Robin. How kind of you!"
Olivia snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Takeshi in pain, making her see she had accidentally wrapped him up to tightly, "Oh! I-I-I'm so sorry!"
"It's… alright…" Takeshi responded as Olivia loosened up the bandages, "...still… I guess I can see why you two got married…"
"...Robin did tell me there was somebody else he was close to before he met me…" Olivia informed as she wrapped up another cut, "It was Chrom's younger sister."
"Oh," Takeshi peaked up.
Olivia finished wrapping Takeshi's wounds up, when he noticed there was a ring on her right hand.
"What's that?" Takeshi asked.
"This?" she blinked, showing the ring to him, which was the Engage Ring from Kamen Rider Wizard, "Robin gave it to me as a sort of promise ring…"
Takeshi simply nodded as he got up and headed off to think a bit.
"Well… that went well," Tiki-chan commented.
"...I guess I get why he chose her over Lissa. Plus there's the fact she got kidnapped so…" Takeshi muttered.
"Sir!" a soldier told Chrom, "Robin has sent a message! He has managed to locate Lissa!"
"Mobilize at once!"
Robin, out of his Rider form, slashed at some Risen that were trying to prevent him from getting to Lissa. Suddenly, arrows had struck and managed to knock away the Risen. Robin turned to see Chrom, Olivia, some of the others, various soldiers, and Takeshi hurry over.
"Robin!" Chrom started before he saw he was alone, "Where's Frederick?"
"I don't know," Robin informed as he loaded his tome into his belt and summoned his Levin Sword, "Why is the traitor here?"
"Wait… he's the traitor?" Chrom blinked.
"I am not!"
"Don't lie to me!" Robin yelled as he held his blade up to Takeshi's neck, "I was warned of somebody who called themself a hero, but was really a villain!"
"And you've got the wrong guy!" Takeshi yelled, "I'm trying to help you!"
Chrom and Olivia simply looked at the two as Takeshi got out of the way of the blade and walked forward.
"What are you-?"
Takeshi sped off with his belt and wrist-phone ready.
"What are you doing?" Tiki-chan inquired.
"I'm gonna go and save Lissa by myself. If that doesn't prove I'm on their side to them, then nothing will…" Takeshi told her as he headed off as fast as he could.
Robin reverted back from his Rider form and headed forward himself, the others following him nervously.
The Ylissean Army arrived to the center of the arena and saw Lissa was tied to a cross of sorts.
"Lissa!" Chrom gasped.
Lissa didn't respond, still in a sleep state, but moved a little bit.
"She looks to be alright," Chrom informed, "Soldiers, advance and make sure nobody else is here."
There was a loud crash sound as they all saw Frederick, being forced out of his Rider form, and a powerful Risen soldier walked back towards Aversa.
"You!" Robin growled.
"So nice of you to join us, but we still need the girl for a task. My higher up says so…" Aversa responded.
"Let me guess, King Gangrel?" Takeshi asked as he walked over from another side of the arena, "Or is it your real boss, Validar? Or how about the being he worships, the Fell Dragon, Grima?"
"EH?! Who are you and how do you know that info?!" Aversa demanded.
Takeshi was wordless as he headed down to Frederick and helped him up.
"...why are you helping me?" he inquired.
Takeshi was silent as he simply backed up a little bit, making Frederick able to see Lissa.
"She's alright…" he gawked.
"...surrender… Ylisse…" she seemingly mumbled.
"Lissa!"
"...surrender…"
"Why are you talking like that?"
"They must be messing with her head," Robin realized, turning to Aversa, "Am I right?"
"Maybe you are…" she responded as she had a Rider belt appear on her waist, "But you won't stop us…"
Aversa took out a tome that had a picture of Grima's symbol and loaded it into her belt. She was surrounded in a dark aura and transformed into a Rider. Her armor was similar to Kamen Rider Beast's armor, though the lion motif was replaced with a dragon motif, what area was colored gold on Beast was colored black, the black area on Beast's suit was colored purple, and she had a leg trench cloak similar to Wizard's suit.
"She's a…" Chrom muttered.
"Kamen Rider…" Robin growled.
"Don't bother with your petty rivalry!" Grangel commanded, "Focus on making the girl obey us!"
"Looks like we gotta distract her," Chrom noticed as he summoned the Falchion.
"Leave it to us," Sumia smirked.
"I'll help them, you go and rescue Lissa," Olivia told Robin.
"Eh?"
"I'll make sure this woman stops bothering you…" Olivia commented. Suddenly, the Engage Ring on her right hand began to shimmer a bit. The ring had energy flow off of it and onto Olivia, making a silver belt appeared on her waist and a tome with a pink magical circle appeared in her hand, "Wow…"
"Masaka!" Grangel yelled.
"Henshin," Olivia muttered as she loaded the tome into the belt. A pink light surrounded her and she was now in an armor that resembled Kamen Rider Femme, minus the cape, was colored pink, had some white veils along the top, a helmet that looked like Wizard's Land Style with a pink colored gem, what appeared to be a sort of version of Olivia's ponytail along the back of the helmet, and her two golden bands with the white cloth around them, "Wow…"
"Amazing…" Robin blushed.
"Go. I got this," Olivia told her husband.
Robin nodded and headed to where Takeshi and Frederick stood, "Grangel, you won't win this war!"
"What makes you think that you can stop me?!"
"Because he's people's hope," Takeshi spoke as he walked forward, "Before Robin showed, well, people didn't have as much hope as they do now. They have hope that this war will be won, hope for the future and hope that they'll survive…"
Robin looked to Takeshi in confusion as he had a confident look on his face.
"If this will prove I'm on your side… I'll fight Grangel."
Grangel growled a bit in anger as he glared at Takeshi, "Kisama! Nani mono nanda?!"
Takeshi looked up at him and put his buckle onto his waist, took out his phone to put it into position, before taking out the Kamen Ride card for Hero. He knew exactly what to say…
"Torisugari no Kamen Rider da…" Takeshi began as he held out the card, "Oboetoke! Henshin!"
=KAMEN RIDE: ...HERO!=
Takeshi transformed into Hero and three cards popped out of his belt buckle, flashing and revealing themselves to be the Kamen Ride, Final Form Ride and Final Attack Ride cards for Robin.
Robin himself looked at Hero and then readied his own belt, "Hey Frederick."
"Yea?"
"Get yourself ready. We'll give you an opening to go and save Lissa."
"Gotcha," he nodded as he headed back to give the two room.
"So you finally trust me?" Hero smiled.
"I suppose so," Robin shrugged as he readied his tome, "Henshin!"
He loaded his tome into his belt and stood ready for battle.
Grangel growled as he left Lissa's comatose body and approached the two Kamen Riders, "You will not win, you hear me?! Master Grima will rise again and Ylisse will belong to his greatness!"
"Ylisse… will belong to… his greatness…" Lissa muttered.
Chrom turned towards his sister, managing to see her eyes were faintly opened but she was still in a trance, "We will save you… I SWEAR IT!"
Lissa slowly raised her head, her eyes looking completely void of anything, but her eyes shut again.
Grangel growled as he charged towards Hero and Robin with a Levin Sword in hand.
"That's such a popular weapon," Hero commented as he kicked Grangel towards Robin, who slashed him with his own Levin Sword.
"True that," Robin nodded.
Back over with Olivia, Chrom and Sumia, the three were managing to hold off Aversa rather well. Aversa attempted to strike at Olivia with a lance, but she managed to evade and then counter attack with the cloth between her arms.
"Wow…" Chrom gawked.
"Hey, you know you're married…" Sumia reminded Chrom.
"Can't I be impressed?"
"I was just joking…"
Aversa began to charge up a blast within her lance, but Olivia managed to nimbly dodge and kick her in the back of her head and cancel her transformation.
"...you may win this round, Ylissean Army, but the war is far from over!" Aversa told them as she teleported away in a flash of magic.
Hero and Robin managed to tag-team Grangel back a bit as Hero looked to the Final Form Ride card and nodded at it. He then loaded the card into his phone and activated it.
=FINAL FORM RIDE: ...RO-RO-ROBIN!=
"Hey. This might sting a little," Hero told Robin.
"Huh?" Robin blinked as he turned to face Hero.
"Hey," Hero groaned a bit as he turned Robin around and then motioned his hands forward. Robin's head retracted into his spin his arms and legs extended into Ls and then joined together. Robin was now a giant version of his tome.
"What sorcery is this?!" Grangel yelled as he tried to attack Hero, but Hero used the giant tome as a giant shield.
The tome opened up and charged up a fiery energy.
"Arc Fire!" Hero declared, sending out a fiery attack and stunning Grangel in flames.
"Onore…" Grangel muttered as Hero loaded in the Final Attack Ride card.
=FINAL ATTACK RIDE: …=
"Heh… kore ga ore-tachi no zengekuda!" Hero yelled as he pressed the activation button.
=RO-RO-ROBIN!=
The tome charged up with electrical energy, Hero smirking and getting it into position.
"THORON!" he yelled as the yellow beam was fired which sent Grandel flying off and into the water outside the Arena. Robin then reverted back from his Final Form Ride form and reverted back to normal, with Hero doing the same.
"...nice," Robin smiled.
Kamen Rider Frederick hurried over to Lissa and freed her from the binds she was trapped in, "Milady… please… Milady… wake up!"
Lissa slowly began to stir and looked at him with a small smile, "...Frederick?"
He dropped his Rider form and looked at her with a soft smile, "Thank goodness you're alright, Milady."
"...thank you for saving me…" she smiled as she planted a kiss on his forehead.
Takeshi was fuming a little bit at this sight.
"Let it go," Tiki-chan groaned.
"The last thing I remember before waking up was seeing Tharja walking away from the base camp and going after her. I lost track of her and was about to head back and then… nothing…" Lissa informed as she was being tended to in the medical wing.
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen her around in a while…" Chrom admitted.
"No wonder me and Olivia have been able to sleep in peace…" Robin added.
"You get your rest, Milady," Frederick told Lissa, "I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you while you heal."
"Alright, thank you," Lissa smiled as she hugged Frederick.
Takeshi, just outside of the medical room, began to think a little bit.
"Something up?" Tiki-chan asked.
"I remember there's one support conversation where Chrom warned her about wandering off… and she wandered off and got captured…" Takeshi commented, "And that stalker is to blame. Goodie. I get to blast her face in."
"...you do realize you're saying that about the third most popular character in Awakening, right?"
"One, that's based on a Japanese poll. Two, that attractiveness is biased. Three, she's a creepy stalker!" Takeshi told Tiki-chan.
"...fair point…"
"Takeshi, could you stop being loud?" Robin asked as she walked out and saw Tiki-chan, "...oh. So I wasn't seeing things when I was fighting you."
"I'm his assistant."
"Ok…"
"Well, we'll get out of your hair for now. See ya," Takeshi waved as he and Tiki-chan headed off.
Chrom walked out and waved alongside Robin, but squinted his eyes as he could faintly see a green glow next to Takeshi…
Takeshi and Tiki-chan then walked back through the portal to the mysterious dimension where the mystery woman was.
"You did well, Takeshi."
"Oh. We're back…" Takeshi blinked a bit.
"You two have the rest of the day to relax until you are sent to the next world."
"Oh! Do I really need to go into Kamui's, Itsuki's and Celia's worlds and kill them?! Seriously?"
The woman was silent as she left the two alone.
"It's Celica." Tiki-chan corrected.
"Ugh… I keep saying Celia by accident…"
Takeshi sat on a mattress and simply stared at the portal that resembled the one that lead to the Outrealms.
"Something up?" Tiki-chan asked as she floated next to him.
"Just thinking…"
"Well, do try and get some rest. We don't know when we'll get a chance to sleep next," Tiki-chan advised.
"Alright," Takeshi nodded as he relaxed a bit, while Tiki-chan slipped into the container for the Rider Cards, "Uh…?"
"I can fit in here just fine with your cards and phone. Nighty-night…"
"...ok…" Takeshi shrugged as he dozed off.
*As the instrumentals slowly began, Takeshi stared at the dark room with the inactive portal.*
Embrace the dark you call a home, *Takeshi held out the Hero card and was joined by Tiki-chan.*
Gaze upon an empty, white throne *They looked to the portal, which was inactive and then slowly showed Kamen Rider Robin's image*
A legacy of lies, *The two were being watched by something in the shadows*
A familiar disguise *Takeshi turned and then saw the mysterious woman before he was again shoved into the portal.*
Sing with me a song of conquest and fate *Takeshi, now Kamen Rider Hero, was standing in between various worlds and seeing the fractures to all nine of them.*
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight *He could see the nine Riders all facing away from him before they faded as if they weren't even there.*
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone *Hero and Tiki-chan stood in a dark room in confusion before they slowly walked out of it*
Lost in thoughts all alone *The two simply continued forward.*
"Tiki-chan's Explanation Corner!" Tiki-chan cheered as she waved to the viewer, with a title screen falling in, "Thank you to KKD for drawing this wonderful picture of my title card! Alright, we got a lot of Riders we need to talk about today, so let's get started."
She giggled a tiny bit as she flew around and smiled, "Alright. Our first Rider today is Kamen Rider… Robin!"
A picture of Kamen Rider Robin appeared and Tiki-chan gave a little hand-heart symbol to the camera, "Again, special thanks to our lovely artist!"
She wink and then turned to the picture, "Kamen Rider Robin is an all-around type of Rider, with fairly equal speed, punching power, kicking power and defensive capabilities. He is also capable of fighting at both long range and short range with an extra tome that is magically duplicated from the one he uses to turn into a Kamen Rider and his Levin Sword! Lastly, there's his Final Form Ride, the Robin Tome! He becomes a giant book with great defensive capabilities and blast attacks. I don't think any flies will be bugging you if you have a giant book to smack em with!"
She gave a twirl and then the image showed Olivia in her Rider form, "Next up is his lovely wife, Olivia and her Rider form of Kamen Rider Olivia! She's quick and agile, can kick your face in but can't punch as hard or tank as much damage. But if you want to try and get her, you'll need to get to her before she gets to you!"
Tiki-chan giggled as she flew in with a picture of Frederick in his Rider form. She looked over it a bit before continuing, "We've got Kamen Rider Frederick up now. And… well… his Rider form is just the belt, tome, and a helmet. It looks just like what he usually looks like… but regardless, he's tough, can punch and kick hard, and can kick you around… if he can catch up. He's super slow… but with heavy armor, makes sense. Alright, next we have-"
Somebody whispered to her from off-camera.
"What's that? We're outta time. Oh! Gomen audience, we're out of time. Looks like we'll need to discuss Kamen Rider Aversa another day. Well, this is Tiki-chan signing off and hoping to see you next time!"
Jikai, Kamen Rider Hero…
Takeshi: We're on some island, huh?
Tiki-chan: The Western Isles, to be exact.
Takeshi: Looks like we're in Binding Blade no Sekai...
?: Back to work! *whip cracks*
Roy: Hurry!
Takeshi: We gotta help him!
Emblem 4: The Bern On The Western Isles
This took a bit to finish and I do apologize for it. There are numerous factors that went into that,, but that's just life sometimes. Anyway, another chapter is completed.
I do want to thank KKD fo suggestions he gave to me for certain plot details, mainly how Lissa went missing (though I did add more details to it) and who I should have as a possible villain. And there is a reason Aversa's Rider form wasn't talked about… but I'm not at liberty to say why.
My favorite part has to be when Takeshi and Robin finally joined forces to do battle against Grangel, who may or may not be dead don't know yet, and when Olivia transformed into a Rider. That was a fun idea.
Hope you enjoyed it. I had some fun with it.
Just Live More.
