Sorry for the wait everyone, I had to finish Season two of my Korra story, and I had to think about how I wanted this chapter to go. So here's chapter 10.

Chapter 10

Foreseer And A Legendary Sword

After making it back to the chapital and gathering their supplies. Everyone was resting for the march in the morning. Well, almost everyone. Chrom was outside, alone, thinking, that's when Robin, Litleo, and Absol walked to Chrom. "Chrom? What are you doing out so late?" Robin asked Chrom. "Oh, hi. Robin. Just dealing with some pleasant thoughts…" Chrom said to Robin. "What's on our mind?" A voice asked Chrom. They then tried their heads to see it was Simon walking towards them.

"Tomorrow we march to Regna Ferox to request additional soldiers. But there's something you two should know first." Chrom said to Robin and Simons. "Is it about what Gangrel was talking about?" Simon asked Chrom. "Yes. Not everything Gangrel said was a lie. The last exalt, my father, waged war on Plegia for many years. The violence… It was a brutal campaign ending only with his death 15 years ago. Plegia rightfully remembers their suffering, but his war was no kinder to his own people. As the fighting dragged on, our army became more and more diminished. Farmers who could barely wield a pitchfork were conscripted and sent to their deaths. Soon there was no food at all, and the kingdom began to collapse. I was young, but I remember those dark times… I know how they affected Emmeryn." Chrom said to everyone.

"Such an experience would change anyone." Robin said to Chrom. "It does explain why Emmeryn is a woman of peace, and is loved by her people." Simon said to Chrom. "Indeed. When our father died before her 10 year, he left her quite the legacy… Plegia's desire for vengeance… Our own people's unbridled rage… My sister became a target for blame from all sides. Her own subject began to hurl insults- and stones. She still bears the scars from one… But she never let them see her pain. Only Lissa and I understood." Chrom said to them. "It must have been so hard." Robin said to Chrom. "Very hard." Simon said to Chrom.

"I cannot claim to know how she does it, Robin and Simon. I could never greet such hostility with warmth and patience. While our people mocked and vilified her, she reached out and healed them. She brought soldiers home to their families. She ended the war. And when Ylisse's spirit was mended and the people "forgave" her? She never resented them for it. She represents the best of the halidom- the part most worth protecting. She IS peace. But some men would take advantage of that. Men like King Gangrel. The day he understands peace will be the day death gives it to him. So perhaps I must be death's agent. Emmeryn would never order him killed, nor would I wish her to." Chrom said to them.

"Well spoken, sir." A voice said, getting their attention. They noticed Marth walking towards them. "Marth…" Chrom said to Marth. "Good evening to you." Marth said to them, after he reached them. "How did you get in here?" Chrom asked Marth. "That cleft in the castle wall, behind the maple grove." Marth said to Chrom. "There? But how would you? Ugh." Chrom said. "You know the place, Chrom?" Robin asked Chrom. "Yes. I bashed in part of the wall while training the Shepherds. It's only a small hole, and I'd thought it was well concealed, but…" Chrom said to everyone.

"Maybe you should fix it, not conceal it." Simon said to Chrom. "Your secret is safe with me. I come here only to warn you." Marth said to Chrom. "Warn us?" Chrom asked Marth. "The exalt's life is in danger." Marth said to Chrom, getting everyone on edge. "What, Emmeryn? That's absurd. She's guarded at all hours." Chrom said to Marth. "Yeah, what proof do you have for this claim of yours?" Simon asked Marth. "What if… What if I told you I have seen the future? Would you believe me?" Marth asked Simon. "What future?" Simon asked Marth.

"A future where Emmeryn is killed. Here. Tonight." Marth said to Simon. "Seen the future? Have you lost your wits?" Chrom said to Marth. "Yes, I expected you wouldn't believe me. So allow me to prove it!" Marth said to Chrom, as he pulled out his sword. "How is pulling out a sword going to prove it?" Simon asked Marth. "I'm about to save Chrom's life. From him." Marth said to Simon, as he looked at a bush.

Then a man in assassin armor, with a sword in hand, burst out of the bush, and charged at Chrom. Marth tossed his sword up and did a backflip. Grabbing his sword in the air, and coming down behind the assassin, and slashed his sword into the assassin's back. "I trust this proof will suffice?" Marth asked everyone. "Yeah." Chrom said to Marth, before another assassin burst out of the nearby tree. "Look out!" Simon said to Marth.

Marth then tired dodged the new assassin, but tripped on the sword of the first assassin. Luckily the only thing the assassin did was break Marth's mask off. And as he fell back, long hair came out of his clothes, and his blue eyes could be seen. Chrom then charged at the assassin, and took him out. Then everyone noticed Marth's look. "Wait, you're- You're a woman?" Chrom asked Marth. "And quite the actress, too. Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't figure it out until just now." Marth said to Chrom, with a feminine voice, before something blew up. "That's not good! LET'S GO!" Simon said to everyone, as they ran into the castle.

Once they ran inside, they ran into the rest of the Shepherds, and told them what's going on. That's when they all moved to Emmeryn's room, and surrounded it. Chrom was in front of Emmeryn's door with Marth, Robin, and Simon standing next to him. Harper, Daniel, Theo, Frederick, Sully, Sahl, Miriel, Ricken, Maribelle there Pokemon were standing in the main passageway to Emmeryn's room, with everyone on their mounts. And Madison, Grace, Lissa, Virion, Vaike, Lon'qu, Kellam, Donnel and their Pokemon standing by a side passageway. With the Trainers letting out Copperajah, Trevenant, Bewear, Grapploct, Toxapex and Gastrodon to help protect Emmeryn.

Meanwhile outside, as a skinny middle aged man, with black skin, long crazy black hair, red eyes, a small white bread with a small black mustache. He was wearing black robes with purple lines on it and some gold attachments, a volet cape with gold at the end of it. And some gold bands on his arms, wrists, and neck, pulse a gold frame around his head, were leading these assassins.

"Validar we are ready." An assassin said to the man. "Remember, I want the emblem in hand and Emmeryn dead on the floor. Let nothing distract you from either purpose." Validar said to the assassin. "As you will it." The assassin said to Validar, before leaving.

Meanwhile a young man with medium orange hair, wearing a brown thief outfit, overhead Validar's plan. "Whoa, whoa, did I just hear that right? We're to KILL the exalt? I'm just here to plunder. You know, line my pockets with some royal goods. The exalt's such a sweet lady… Suure, I'll rob her blind, but I'd never harm her! Come on, Gaius, think." The man said to himself.

Meanwhile Chrom was talking to Emmeryn through the door to her room, "Emm!" Chrom said to Emmeryn. "Chrom! Take Lissa and flee while you still have time!" Emmeryn said to Chrom. "No! We're not leaving you! Just stay where it's safe!" Chrom said to Emmeryn. "The assassins should scatter if we can defeat their leader." Robin said to everyone. "But first we have to find the leader." Simon said to Robin.

Back with Validar, he got the report about the assassins that attacked Chrom. "Hmph! Two assassins and the little princeling was not even wounded? Wait. some of these actors and beasts do not belong on this stage…" Validar said to himself, before he briefly noticed Robin. "Ho ho! Can it be?! After years of searching… Tonight, fate truly piles the gifts at my feet!" Validar said, cracking a smile.

Back Marth, her sword started to glow in its opening. "Falchion is gleaming." Marth quietly said, as everyone noticed it. "What's wrong?" Chrom Marth. "It's not your concern." Marth said to Chrom. "Seems like nothing ever is with you." Chrom said to Marth. "My apologies." Marth said to Chrom. "Just stay by Emmeryn's door. We'll handle the killers." Chrom said to Marth.

"Chrom, please! Flee while you still can! You each have but one life, and I do not wish it weighed against mine!" Emmeryn said to Chrom. "With all respect, milady. Not happening." Simon said to Emmeryn, surprising everyone. "Simon?" Emmeryn said to Simon. "You're a person of peace. You always put others ahead of yourself. You're a light to your people. And we will not allow some revenge driven mad man, snuff it out." Simon said to Emmeryn. "Well said Simon. Now let's do this!" Chrom said to Simon, as everyone started to fight.

Then a group of bandits blast through the wall of the castle making another way for them to attack. "These guys have no respect. Litleo use Hyper Voice." Chrom said to Litleo. "LITLEO." Litleo yelled, firing a sonic burst at the assassins, making them stop and cover their ears. "Copperajah send them flying with High Horsepower." Simon said to Copperajah. "Copperajah." Copperajah said, as she started to glow orange, and charge threw the assassins that were charging at the door, knocking some off their feet. "Absol help us with Shadow Claw." Robin said to Absol, as she pulled out her sword, as she, Chrom, and Simon, started to charge. "Absol." Absol said, as her claws became wrapped in black energy with a purple outline, and followed Robin. Then all of them started to take out the assassins, as Marth stood guard of the door.

Back in the main passageway. A large group of assassins and dark mages started to make their way to Harper, and everyone with her. "Sumia, can you give us some cover?" Harper asked Sumia. "Yes. Swablu use Mist." Sumia said to Swablu. "Swablu." Swablu said releasing a mist, making the assassins and dark mages stop. "Bewear use Thrash." Daniel said to Bewear. "Bewear." Bewaer said, jumping out of the Mist and started to jump and spin around, swinging his arms around and slamming them into the Assassins and dark mages.

"Everyone charge!" Frederick said to everyone, as they charged through the mist. "Trevenant use Shadow Claw." Harper said to Trevenant. "And Grapploct use Liquidation." Theo said to Grapploct. "Trevenant." Trevenant said, as his claws became wrapped in black energy with a purple outline. "Grapploct." Grapploct said, as four of his tentacles were wrapped in water. Then all of them started to cut their way through the assassins. But a few assassins got past them

"Gastrodon use Blizzard." Grace said to Gastrodon, as Kellam used his shield to block assassins from getting through the passageway. "Gastrodon." Gastrodon said as he fired a snow storm from his mouth at Kellam and the assassins banging their swords against Kallem shield. Then Kellam and the assassins were covered in patches of ice. "Toxapex use Pine Missile." Madison said to Toxapex. "Toxapex said, as she jumped up into the air, spreading out her legs. Then Toxapex fired a barrage of needles at the assassins, taking them out.

"Did you have to... use such a... cold attack?" Kellam asked Grace, as Lissa healed him. "Sorry Kellam, didn't see you." Grace said to Kellam, as a couple of assassins got past Kellam. "Happiny use Disarming Voice." Lissa said to Happiny. "And Mudbray use Mud-Slap." Donnel said to Mudbray. "Happiny." Happiny said, as she fired a sonic burst with pink hearts in it, at one of the Assassins, forcing him back a little, allowing Virion and Madison to get a clear shot with their arrows. "Mudbray." Mudbray said as he fired a ball of mud at the other assassins, covering his head in mud, getting mud in his eyes, allowing Lon'qu to get an easy hit in with this sword.

Then from the back, a woman, with long brown hair, with patches of brown fur on most parts of her body, wearing some armor on her chest and lower part of legs, came out of the shadows. "I knew there was wisdom in slipping in with those rogues. Look like these man-spawn claw at each other like savages! I will repay my warren's debt and then wash my hands of their race." the woman said to herself.

Then Simon noticed the woman, and ran to her with his axe in hands. "Wait!" Marth said to Simon, right before Simon slammed his axe into the woman. "Panne is not your enemy." Marth said to Simon. "You know her?" Chrom asked Marth. "I know… of her, And I knew she would come here tonight." Marth said to Chrom. "Qite the prophet, aren't you?" Chrom asked Marth. "As you say. And I swear to you, Panne is an ally." Marth said to Chrom. "Good enough for me. Simon stand down. For now, we leave this Panne character be." Chrom said to Simon.

"Are you sure that's a good idea Chrom?" Simons asked Chrom. "Marth has earned our trust. She enjoys her secrets, I know. Like her gender, for one. But she's also saved our lives. Twice. And that's enough from me." Chrom said to Simon. "Chrom… Thank you." Marth said to Chrom. "Now, to the matter at hand: driving these sconderals from our castle!" Chrom said to everyone. Simon then groaned. "Fine. But try anything and you're done." Simon said to Panne. Then an assassin came out and tried to attack Simon and Penna.

Then Panne started to glow and jump into the air. Then she changed into a large rabbit monster and slashed her claws through the assassin. Once the assassin dropped dead, she changed back to her normal form."I like to see you try." Panne said to Simon, before she got back to fighting. "Shape shifting? Sure why not. " Simon said, before getting back to fighting.

After fighting for a bit, Chrom noticed Gaius and pointed his sword at him. "Drop your weapon, or die where you stand!" Chrom said to Gaius. "Easy there, blue blood. I'm not here to hurt anyone." Gaius said to Chrom. "Yet you run with a band of assassins?" Chrom asked Gaius. "Believe it or not, just trying to make a living. I'm a thief, see? Bust open doors, crack into chests… that kind of thing. This lot said they wanted to break into some type of vault. Nobody said anything about mrder. I'd just as soon sit this one out." Gaius said to Chrom, as Simon walked to them.

"So what should we do with this one?" Simon asked Chrom. "Hmm… then perhaps you'd be willing to prove your good intentions?" Chrom asked Gaius. "Beg pardon?" Gaius asked Chrom. "Chrom, are you sure this is a good idea?" Simon asked Chrom. "We need all the help we can get to save the exalt's life." Chrom said to Simon. "You appear capable, and we could use any information you have about our foes." Chrom said to Gaius. "Oh, right- those good intentions. Fine then, I'll prove my sincerity… if you sweeten the deal." Gaius said to Chrom.

"Can I kill him now?" Simon asked Chrom, making Gaius neveroius. "No, but if he wants gold? Then fine, but he's a scoundrel. Let me just- oops." Chrom said to Simon as she pulled out his satchel and dropped it onto the floor. Looks like you dropped something. What's in the satchel?" Gaius asked Chrom, as Chrom picked up the satchel. "Nothing- Candies for my little sister. I'm sure you-" Chrom said to Gaius, but Gaius interrupted him. "Candies? As in, sugar candies?" Gaius asked Chrom. "Well… yes, I assume they'd be sweet? But-." Chrom said to Gaius, but Gaius interrupted him again. "IT'S A DEAL!" Gaius said to Chrom, taking the satchel.

"You'll risk your life for us if I give you… a bag of candy?" Chrom asked Gaius. "I said "sweeten the deal," didn't I? Don't get me wrong, I'll take the gold, too. Later. Unless you've got more of these?!" Gaius asked Chrom. "Um.. I'll ask Lissa." Chrom said to Gaius. "Okay thief." Simon said to Gaius. "My name is Gaius." Gaius said to Simon. "Okay Gaius. Now time to give us some good information. Like the person in charge for example." Simon asked Gaius. "It's just some random tall sickly dark mage, he should be outside." Gaius said to Simon. "Thank you." Simon said to Gaius.

"Marth, stay here. We'll finish this." Chrom said to Marth. "Leave it to me." Marth said to Chrom, before Chrom, Robin, Simon, and their Pokemon left, leaving Marth with Gaius and Panne.

After going through a few assassins and dark mages. They found Validar outside. "Emmeryn was supposed to be an easy target…" Validar said to everyone. "Like we'd let you lay a finger on her." Simon said to Validar. "You will pay for interfering in my designs!" Validar said to Simon, before pulling out a red book. Then the floor started to glow red. And everyone jumped back just in time to dodge. Robin then put her sword away and pulled out her book. "Thunder." Robin said, firing a thunderbolt at Validar. But Validar dodged it.

"Well, well, well, I know you." Validar said to Robin. "Wait you? You know me? How?" Robin asked Validar, as Validar laughed. "Submit perhaps I might honor you with the ture." Validar said to Robin, before casting another fire geyser under Robin. Lucky Absol pushed Robin out of the way. "Copperajah use High Horsepower." Simon said to Copperajah. "Copperajah." Copperajah said as she started to charge at Validar with an orange outline. "Like an elephant like that will beat me." Validar said as he opened his book.

But before Validar cast his spell, Simon tossed his axe and knocked the book out of Validar's hand. "What?" Validar asked, before Copperajah slammed into Validar, sending him flying and knocking him onto the ground, near his book. "You've gotten quite good at using that axe Simon." Chrom said to Simon, as Simon's axe came back towards them, and Simon caught it. "I've been patacting that trick. Thought it would come in handy. "You think that will stop me?!" Validar asked everyone, as he grabbed his book and got up. "Guess it'll take a couple of hits to take him down." Simon said to everyone, as they got ready to fight Validar.

Back with Marth, another group of assassins came up and attacked Marth, Gaius, and Panne, overwhelming them. 'I can't let Emmeryn die. I have to keep fighting.' Marth thought as she fought off a few assassins at the same time. Then two small tornadoes, one red and one black, came spinning out of nowhere with a ring of flames near the top. The two tornadoes took out a handful of assassins and stopped on both sides of Marth.

One was a large black ape with some green leaves on the end of its arms and waist and a large group of leaves for hair, with a small vine growing between its eyes, orange mouth, and a stomp on it's back with a green circle in the middle of it and four bumps on it. "Rillaboom." The ape said to the assassins

The other one was a large black and red tiger that was standing on two legs, a black chest, and a belt made of fire around its waist. "Incineroar." the tiger said to the assassins. 'What are they?' Marth thought as she looked at Rillaboom and Incineroar.

Then Marth heard a few assassins scream, and noticed an explosion in front of her. Then from the explosion Marth noticed a woman with her arms and legs spread out, wearing gold light armor with patches of blue on it, with white armored boots with claws on it, a helmet in the shape of a wolf with two strains of long pink fabric coming from it, and small sharp curve blades on her arms and back, and in her right arm she held a long golden sword. 'Who is that?' Marth thought as she looked at the woman.

"Couldn't wait or look for us Marth?" the woman asked Marth as she moved to her. "Who are you?" Marth asked the woman. "What's wrong with you? Did you forget about me Zacian, my partener Rillaboom, and your partner Incineroar?" The woman asked Marth. "Zacian?" Marth asked the woman, before she got a headache. "Marth focus. Tell me what's going on?" Zacian asked Marth.

"Um… I'm protecting Emmeryn, while Chrom, Robin, a guy named Simon, and some creatures, went off to deal with the leader." Marth said to Zacian. "Okay then. I'll go help take care of the leader with Rillaboom. You stay here with Incineroar, you know what to do." Zacian said to Marth, before she and Rillaboom left Marth and Incineroar.

"Wait? What am I supposed to do with this thing?" Marth asked Zacian, not that Zacian heard her. Then a few more assassins came charging at Marth. "Incineroar." Incineroar said, as it's fist became encased in fire. Then Incineroar punched one of the assassins, sending the assassin flying. Then a second assassin tried to run Incineroar threw with his sword, but Incineroar dodged it by an inch on purpose and delivered an uppercut with his flaming fist, knocking out the assassin. Then a third assassin attacked Incineroar, and Incineroar caught it with it's flaming fist, keeping both of them from moving.

Marth then took this chance to attack the assassin Incineroar was holding in place, and finished the assassin. "Nice work." Marth said to Incineroar, as more assassins came. "Incineroar." Incineroar said to Marth, as it and Marth got back to fighting. While fighting Marth noticed Incineroar battling the assassins and noticed that it fighting style would work perfectly well with her. 'Just what is this thing?' Marth thought before she got another headache and Idea. "Incineroar, Darkest Lariat Blade." Marth said to Incineroar. "Incineroar." Incineroar said to Marth, nodding and understanding what she was saying.

Incineroar then got behind Marth, and placed its right hand on Marth's right shoulder and its left hand above Marth's left hand which had her sword in it, then Incineroar ignited a flame in its left hand and wrapped the sword in fire. Then Incineroar and marth started to spin, turning into the red tornado, and started to move around the assassins, cutting through them like butter, leavin burning marks in the shape of a slash.

After a few seconds Marth and Incineroar stopped in front of the door, with Marth being a little dizzy from the experience. 'Just as dizzy as I remember. Wait? Remember? But I've never seen or worked with this thing before.' Marth thought. "Incineroar?" Incineroar asked Marth. "I'm okay boy." Marth said to Incineroar. 'Wait? How do I know it's a boy?' Marth asked herself, before she shook her head. 'Worry about that later. Saving Emmeryn comes first.' Marth thought before getting back to fighting.

Meanwhile back with Chrom, Robin, Simon and their Pokemon. They have dealt some damage on Validar, he was still standing, and Validar dealt some damage to everyone. "What is it… going to... take... to take him... down?" Simon asked everyone as he took in a few deep breaths. "Allow me to finish him." a female voice said to Simon.

Then Zacian and Rillaboom came jumping from behind Simon and the others. "A Rillaboom and a woman that looks like Zacian!" Simon said to everyone. "What's a Rillaboom and a Zacian?" Robin asked Simon. "Here." Simon said to Robin, pulling out his Rotom Phone.

Rillaboom.

The Drummer Pokemon.

Grass.

By Drumming, It Taps Into the Power Of Its Special Tree Stump. The Roots Of The Stump Follow Its Direction In Battle.

Zacian.

The Warrior Pokemon.

Fairy / Steel.

Known As A Legendary Hero, This Pokemon Absorbs Metal Particles, Transforming Them Into A Weapon It Uses To Battle.

"You're not supposed to be here." Validar said to Zacian, as Simon put his Rotom Phone away. "Say's who?" Zacian asked Validar. "Destiny." Validar said to Zacian. "Well sorry, but with this sword I'll carve my own destiny. Rillaboom Sunny Day." Zacian said to Validar and Rillaboom, before charging at Validar. "Rillaboom." Rillaboom said, as he put its drumsticks into its hair, and made a ball of light in its hands, and tossed it into the air, making the night sky shine.

"What is this?" Chrom asked Simon. "Sunny Day. A Pokemon move that makes the sky above the pokemon the same as a clear sunny day. It makes Water type attacks weaker, and makes Fire Type attacks stronger." Simon said to Chrom. "Did you say it makes Fire type attacks stronger?" Robin asked Simon.

"Fool you only made me stronger." Validar said to Zacian, as he opened his book. Then right before a fire geyser burst under Zacian feet, she jumped out of the way of it, completely doding it, even the heat and from her new spot she charged at Validar at high speed. Validar had a split second to react, and in that second he used his book to block most of Zacian's attack, but still took a lot of damage and was forced back.

"You think that will stop me?!" Validar asked Zacian, getting mad. "Alone, probably not. But with my boy Rillaboom, oh yeah." Zacian said to Validar. "You really think that ape will stop me. That elephant looks like a bigger threat than your stuipd ape." Validar said to Zacian. "Okay you're dead. Rillaboom let's finish him with Legendary Solar Blade." Zacian said to Validar and Rillaboom.

"Rillaboom." Rillaboom said to Zacian, as he nodded his head yes, and pulled out one of his drumsticks and held it into the sky. Soon light started to quickly gather in the drumstick. "Oh so that's why he know's Sunny Day." Simon said. "Why?" Robin asked Simon. "I told you about Sunny Day's normal effect. But some moves get stronger or weaker depending on the weather, in Solar Blade case, it charges faster." Simon said to Robin, as Rillaboom finished charging up Solar Blade hand from his drumstick. Making a giant double edge sword, with the drumstick as the handle. "For that. But why did she add Legendary to it?" Simon said to everyone and asked himself, as Rillaboom charged at Validar.

Validar got ready to dodge Rillaboom. But after Rillaboom was halfway from Validar, Rillaboom tossed his Solar Blade to the right, surprising everyone. Everyone then turned their heads to see Zacian charging at Validar, while catching the handle of the Solar Blade with her left hand, at the same time, the gold sword in her right hand started to glow blue, adding new parts to the sword, turning it into a double edge oval shape blade. Zacian then jumped into the air right in front of Validar, and slashed her swords in a X formation into Validar, and laned behind him. "No… This is… all wrong…!" Validar said to everyone, before exploding.

"I guess that's why she called it Legendary Solar Blade." Simon said to everyone, as the dust from the explosion cleared. That's when they noticed Zacian blade turning back to gold, and Rillaboom's Solar Blade turning back into drumstick. "Hey just who are you? And how do you have that power?" Simon asked Zacian, as Rillaboom walked to Zacian and took back his drumstick. "You have it too. All you need is a reason to use it." Zacian said to Simon, before she and Rillaboom started to leave, jumping all over the walls.

"Hey wait!" Simon said to Zacian, before she and Rillaboom jumped over the main wall of the castle and disappeared. "We'll have to talk to her later. First let's go check in with Emmeryn." Chrom said to Simon. Simon then groaned. "Fine. let's go." Simon said to Chrom, as they all started to move. While walking to Chrom, Robin, Simon and their Pokemon, they noticed all the dead assassins and dark mages on the floor, and realised they won the battle

A few minutes later. While Chrom, Robin, Simon and the Pokemon with them were talking to Emmeryn and Phila. The Shepherds, the Pokemon with them, and the guards were cleaning up the dead bodies.

"Thank the gods you're safe!" Chrom said to Emmeryn. "It is you I have to thank, Chrom. And you too Simon. You spoke with much courage this night." Emmeryn said to Chrom and Simon. "I'm just doing my job, your majesty." Simon said to Emmeryn, bowing to her. "I beg your forgiveness, milord! I failed in my duty- They should have never made it into the castle in the first place." Phila said to Chrom.

"Pease, Phila. You couldn't have known what was coming. Only Marth could…" Chrom said to Phila, but Emmeryn interrupted Chrom. "Marth?" Emmeryn asked Chrom. "Yes, I would speak more with… Um… Robin, Simon, where's Marth?" Chrom said to Emmeryn asked Robin and Simon. "Hmm… An excellent question. She was here a moment ago…" Robin said to Chrom. "Guess she bailed again." Simon said to Chrom. "Not again!" Chrom said, as he started to leave. "Hey wait. I want to talk to Marth as well." Simon said to Chrom, as he followed Chrom.

Back outside Marth, she was leaving, and Incineroar was following her. "Why are you following me?" Marth asked Incineroar, as she got another headache. "Incineroar." Incineroar said to Marth, as Chrom and Simon walked up to Marth and Incineroar. "Going somewhere? You have a bad habit of leaving without saying good-bye, you know." Chrom said to Marth. "Yes, I'm afraid I have a few bad habits." Marth said to Chrom.

"Good ones as well- you saved my life, as well as both of my sisters. Is there a way I can repay you? Some favor I can grant for you or your tiger there?" Chrom asked Marth. "It's an Incineroar Chrom. Here." Simon said to Chrom, pulling out his Rotom Phone.

Incineroar.

The Heel Pokemon.

Fire / Dark.

It Excels At Violent, No-Holds-Barred Battles. The Temperature Of The Flames That Issue From Its Naval Exceeds 3,600 Degrees Fahrenheit.

"In any case. Hearing you offer is reward enough." Marth said to Chrom, as Simon put away his Rotom Phone. "But there must be something…" Chrom said to marth. "I already have what I came for: History has been rewritten." Marth said to Chrom. "And what future averted?" Chrom asked Marth. "Yeah, care to share?" Simon asked Marth.

"After the exalt's untimely assassination, the Fire Emblem would be stolen. This, in turn, would lead to a great war, and soon to the end of mankind itself. But I'm sure that sounds like madness to you." Marth said to Chrom and Simon. "It does." Simon said to Marth. "Simon! But strangely, no. It doesn't. Somehow I know I can trust you. And I hope someday to repay your favors." Chrom said to Simon and Marth. "Perhaps one day you shall until then…" Marth said to Chrom, before she walked away with Incineroar.

"Wait!" Simon said to Marth, making her and Incineroar stop. "What do you know about the woman calling herself Zacian?" Simon asked Marth, as Marth turned to him. "I don't know anything." Marth said to Simon. "I thought you could see the future?" Simon asked Marth. "Just the important stuff." Marth said to Simon before she and Incineroar got back to leaving. "Should we go after her?" Simon asked Chrom. "No, let her go. I'm sure we'll see her again." Chrom said to Simon, before going inside. Simon sighed and went inside.

Back with Marth, as she walked she heard a voice. "Nice lie back there Marth." The voice said to Marth. Marth then looked up into a tree to see Zacian and Rillaboom sitting in a tree, with Zacian's gold sword on her left hip. "Who are you?" Marth asked Zacian. "Come on Lucina is that anyway to treat your best friend. Well best human friend." Zacian said to Marth, as she and Rillaboom jumped out of the tree, surprising her. "How do you know my name?" Marth asked Zacian. "What's wrong with you? I've known your name before I even could say mom and dad. Hmm maybe you finally gained your mothers forgetfulness." Zacian said to Marth, as she placed both hands on Marth's head and moved it around.

"What are you talking about? And why did you say I lied?" Marth asked Zacian, forcing her hands off her. "Cause what was supposed to happen this night was, they were losing badly, and Dad distracts the assassins by tossing the Fire Emblem away. Allowing them to get it, but everyone escapes with their lives. We charged that and they won, so they still have the Fire Emblem. So that's a win for us" Zacian said to Marth. "Just who are you?!" Marth asked Zacian, before she got a headache again, but this one was worse, made her grab her and fall to her knees.

In Marth Mind

In Marth's head, she was a little girl and was in the courtyard of the castle, wearing normal clothes and a wooden sword in her hands, facing a older Simon, with a slash scar over his left eye, wearing common silver clothes, with his Pokeballs still on his legs, and a wooden axe in his hands, and Copperajah next to him.

"Give it up Princess. You alone can't beat my Warbeast." Simon said to Marth, pointed a wooden axe at Marth, as Copperajah waved her trunk around. "I'm never alone." Marth said to Simon. As a small black cat with a few red stripes on it. A green chimp, with orange feet, hands and nose, brown tail and ears, and a stick. Plus a one foot tall, light blue frog, with large yellow eyes, a dark blue stripe in between his eyes, white hands, and a ball of fluff around its neck. All jumped out of a tree and right on top of Copperajah, and started to hit her.

But the cat, chimp, and frog didn't do much, but Copperajah acted like it did, and pretended to faint. "No my warbeast." Simon said, before a little girl, with white skin, hazel eyes and long brown hair that tied into two ponytails, wearing normal blue color clothes, with a wooden sword in her hand jumped out of the tree and onto Simon's back using the wooden sword to hold onto Simon. "You will never hurt the royal family, so long as I'm the Captain of the Guards." The girl said to Simon, as Simon started to move around.

"Ah, not the great Hannah. I thought my other warbeast destroyed you?" Simon asked the girl. "They tried but they couldn't bet me." Hannah said to Simon, as Simon turned around to see Excadrill, Mawile, and Perrserker playing dead nearby. "Now, let's end this." Marth said before she poked Simon in the stomach with her sword. "No... my end... has come. Hrrr-Blegh." Simon said, as he dropped to his knees and layed down on the ground, face first.

Hannah then got off Simon and walked to Marth. "We did it, Lucina. We save the kingdom." Hannah said to Marth. "Yeah we did." Marth said to Hannah. "Or did you. Hug attack." Simon said, as he got up onto his knees and pulled Marth and Hannah into a hug. "Arg, no! The evil Dad has us trapped!" Hannah said to Marth. "We must call upon our secret weapon. Morgan it's time!" Marth said. But nothing.

"Morgan? Morgan, where are you?" Marth asked, as everyone looked around. "Up here." A male voice said to Marth, they looked up to see a boy a little bit younger then the girls, with the same hair, skin, and eye color as Marth, wearing similar clothes to Marth, clinging to a tree branch. "Morgan, what are you doing up there? You were supposed to jump down with me?" Hannah asked the boy. "I know but I got scared and now I can't get down." Morgan said to Hannah, before he started to cry.

Simon then let the girls go, and got up. "Hey it's okay. Uncle Simon's here. Copperajah a little help." Simon said to Morgan and Copperajah, as Copperajah, Excadrill, Mawile, and Perrserker stopped playing dead and got up. "Copperajah." Copperajah said, as she bent the lower part of her trunk, Simon then stepped onto Copperajah's trunk and Copperajah lifted him into the air, right next to Morgan. "There, there. I got you." Simon said to Morgan, as he helped him out of the tree. And once Morgan was in Simon's arms, Copperajah lowered her trunk, placing them on the ground.

"I'm sorry I got scared." Morgan said to Marth. "No problem little brother." Marth said to Morgan, hugging Morgan. "Yeah, It's like Dad always says, we are stronger together, people and Pokemon." Hannah said to Morgan. "Grookey." The chimp said, before it jumped onto Hannah's head. "Litten." The cat said, as it moved to Marth's legs. "Froakie." The frog said, as it jumped onto Morgan's shoulders. "Thanks Hannah." Morgan said to Hannah. "No problem." Hannah said to Morgan. "That's my girl." Simon said to Hannah, as he rubbed Hannah's head. "Now why don't we go find the other kids. After all, you all are the next generation of the Shepherds." Simon said to everyone. Everyone nodded their heads and they went inside the castle.

The Real World

Back in the real world, Marth's headache stopped and she looked at Zacian. "Hannah?" Marth asked Zacian. Then Zacian glowed light blue. When the light stopped it relieved a young woman with a fit body, white skin, hazel eyes, long brown hair that tied into two ponytails, wearing Blue Swordmaster, and a katana on her left waist. "That's right Lucina. Now let's go before our dads find us." Zacian said to Marth, leading the way out of the castle.

Meanwhile back in the castle, everyone but Chrom and Simon were looking at Panne. "Brave taguel, there are not words to express my gratitude." Emmeryn said to Panne. "So you know our true name?" Panne asked Emmeryn. "Sorry, what's a taguel?" Robin asked Emmeryn. "Yeah, explain to the out of towner." Madison said to Emmeryn. "Madison. Can't you show a little respect, while talking to the exalt?" Grace asked Madison. "Nope." Madison said to Grace. "Anyway, someone was going to explain what a Taguel is?" Harper asked everyone.

"I am a taguel. The… The last taguel. We are shape-shifters. Most of your kind called us "beast" or "coney" in the midst of their hunt. I only help you because my warren owes Ylisse a debt. Do not think us friends, you and I!" Panne said to everyone. "I don't understand…" Robin said to Panne. "It sounds like bad people killed everyone like her, and somehow Ylisse is the reason she's still around." Daniel said to Robin. "Smarter than most of your kind, are you?" Panne asked Daniel.

"You know you don't have to be this mean." Theo said to Panne. "Like your kind wasn't. It was man-spawn like you that invaded our warren and slaughtered my people." Panne said to Theo, with a sad face on her face. "What?! Is this true? Who would do such a thing?" Emmeryn asked Panne, as a worried look appeared on her face. "My guess is a certain kingdom led by a certain man." Daniel said to Emmeryn, as angry faces appeared on the Trainers' faces. "Ha do not act so shocked, or blame others. You are all the same. Right down to your base desire to ruin and destroy all you touch- even each other." Panne said to everyone.

"There is truth to your worlds, perhaps. I'm told that, in taguel society, everyone is treated as an equal. Mankind could have learned much from your warren. The words may come too late and mean too little, but I am deeply sorry. We have stolen your friends and family and made the world a lesser place." Emmeryn said to Panne. "Your Grace- you had no fault in this!" Phila said to Emmeryn.

"You claim to be blameless, and yet you would apologize? Pah! Your words are but wind." Panne said to Emmeryn. "I know… But they are all I have." Emmeryn said to Panne. "You seem sincere, man-spawn. You feel my pain as your own. I've never felt that before. Look at me. See what I am. I will never trust mankind. But you… Perhaps you truly are not like the others." Panne said to Emmeryn. "All I ask is a chance to earn your trust." Emmeryn said to Panne.

"Now I can see why everyone here wants to protect her. She is a ray of light. Even someone who hates us, like Panne, became a friend in less than a minute." Grace said to the Trainers. "Make you wonder what kind of darkness drives Gangrel and his men." Daniel asked Grace.

Darkness

And in that darkness Validar was weakly walking around in it, wondering how'd it all go wrong. "Nngh… How?! My purpose is too significant… to be thwarted… here… Aaaargh…" Validar said, as he walked in the darkness, venting his anger. "Validar." a female voice said to Validar, getting his attention. "What? Who are you… Where did you… come from?" Validar asked the voice, as he looked around.

Then a female figure wrapped in dark energy walked to Validar. "I am the power that compels you. You will not perish here. It is not written. You must live on to author a destiny greater than you know." The figure said to Validar. "I-impossible! It can't be you! It can't be…" Validar said to the figure, with a combination of shock and surprise in his voice. "I am the wings of despair. I am the breath of ruin. I am the fell dragon, Grima…

Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter. Please follow or review if you like this story. But before I go let me explain a few things. The attacks Lucina(Marth) and Hannah(Zacian) did with their Pokemon, are based on the idea that they grow up fighting with their Pokemon, as such they have battle combo attacks. And for these attacks, I just added a word to the attacks. meaning, Darkest Lariat Blade = Darkest Lariat + Blade, Legendary Solar Blade = Legendary + Solar Blade. You'll see more in the future chapter.

Also until Lucina(Marth) reveals her identity to Chrom, I'll still call her Marth, as that's how it works in the game, same for Hannah(Zacian), so she will be Zacian until she reveals her identity to her father. That's all, see ya.
