Nohr - Outside Castle Krakenburg
This time is team Phi's turn to execute their mission, using the golden plate Corrin teleported himself, Yu, and Sheik to the front to Castle Krakenburg where he spent his childhood. The unusual structure and Nohr dreary atmosphere however made Yu and Sheik rather uncomfortable.
"Wow the castle sure is bright, but the sky...is it night already here ?" Asked Yu looking above.
"No offense Corrin, but this sorta reminds me when Hyrule is ruled by Ganondorf, Hyrule goes from a lush place with greenery into a dangerous wasteland." Sheik remembered what happened during the events of Ocarina of Time.
"Well it's always like this in Nohr, sunlight rarely shines here, anyway sorry for the dreary atmosphere." Explained Corrin.
"It's very different than where I'm from but I'm not badmouthing your home Corrin, I just stated how different your world is compared to mine." Replied Yu.
"Don't worry I know you don't have any ill intent, anyway let's head inside, we will meet my brother Xander the current king of Nohr." Said Corrin as they went inside the castle. "I'm sure he can provide us with what we need."
"Won't that mean you have to explain everything to your brother ? About us and what your involved into ?" Asked Yu which caused Corrin to realize he's gonna talk for a really long time.
"I agree with Yu here, if we're going to ask the king for help this isn't something that can be kept secret, at least to him." Added Sheik.
"I suppose you got a point, looks like I'm going to talk for a really long time." Sighed Corrin as they finally walked to the audience chamber.
As the three of them almost reached the audience chamber the guards stop Corrin from going further ."King Corrin, you've returned !" Said the guard
"King Corrin ?" Yu and Sheik both surprised by the revelation.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to mentioned it do I, I'll tell you everything once we get back." Since Corrin was an accidental summon he wasn't able to spend a lot of time with the other smashers the other smashers in the middle of fighting Master Core. "So why are you blocking my entry ? I need to see Xander. This is very important "
"Forgive us, but king Xander doesn't wish to see anyone right now, things have been restless while you were gone king Corrin." Explained the guard.
"What do you mean ? What happened while I was gone ? Is Azura and Kana alright !?" Corrin's expression soured.
"Yes, they're fine, no one was hurt thanks to your warning about those flying creatures from Valla. We're able to prepare against those monsters." Said the guard. "But here's the thing, the Hoshidans for some reason accusing Nohrian soldiers of attacking their territories."
"What ! That can't be ! Both Xander and Ryoma wanted peace for both our nations !" Angered Corrin.
"That's what we though too, and not to mention there hasn't been any Nohrians on Hoshido's border either, we don't know why they made such declaration, this is why king Xander refused an audience, the stress is getting to him."
"Is there anything else you've heard ?" Further asked Corrin. "What about Leo and Camilla ?"
"Prince Leo and Princess Camilla went to investigate with their retainers, Princess Elise is in the castle with her retainers playing with Princess Kana and Azura. Of course I don't know if this true or not but, there's a rumor that someone saw a black cloaked figure during the attacks, and also there's a rumor of a coup d'etat against king Xander." Answered the guard.
Shocked at what the guard said Corrin, Yu, and Sheik come to a realization. "Black cloak !? If that's true then all the more reason you must let us through ! I may have the answer Xander needs ! And a coup !?" After hearing this Corrin persists on seeing Xander, the guards then unable to turn him away anymore relents and allows Team Phi to pass through.
Castle Krakenburg - Audience Chamber
In the audience room Xander rubbing his forehead as the recent troubles plaguing his kingdom starting to get to him. Just then the door opened.
Hearing the door opened Xander respond with anger. "I thought I told you I don't wish to see anyone right now !" That is until he saw that is Corrin appeared before him with two people he never met before.
"Corrin ! Where have you been !? Don't you know we were worried sick you just suddenly went missing like that !" Xander got up fromfhis seat and of course upset that Corrin left without telling anyone, but then he hugged his brother anyway. "I'm just glad you're safe." He then let go of Corrin and went back to his seat.
"I'm sorry for this brother, I also need to apologize to Kana and everyone else as well, so I've heard there's trouble while I was gone. Is that right ?" Asked Corrin.
"Yes, those flying creatures you mentioned, some of them managed to escape from Valla, but thanks to your warning we're able to subdue them, I guess they're just mere animals after all, but what comes after is the problem." Explained Xander
"I've heard, Hoshido is under attack, and they accused the Nohrians of doing it right ?" Answered Corrin.
"Yes, but I just don't know how's that possible ? Even if there are those who refuse peace they lacked the power and resources to actually pull this off. Who would be smart enough to lead them like this ?" Xander's getting exasperated.
"And about the coup ?" Asked Corrin further.
"Not long after the attack on Hoshido, rumors spread about a coup against the royal family, I didn't pay any attention at first but, the rumors keep spreading it causing unrest in the city, I have Azura calmed them down earlier." Answered Xander.
"And Xander I've also heard there are figures wearing a black cloak during the attack ?"
"Yeah, according to the witness, there are a figure wearing a black cloak at the back, they didn't do anything, just watching, and once the attack is done the figure run away with the soldiers following the figure." Answered Xander. "Whoever underneath that cloak must be the ones behind this !"
"I see, then that person must be caught at all cost !" Declared Corrin. "If that figure is who I think it is, then they may be have the power to execute this coup, and maybe sowing discord between Nohr and Hoshido to create another war."
"You seemed to know what's happening, and I've been meaning to ask who are those two people with you ? That little boy wore a very unusual clothing, and that man ? Is he one of Hoshido's Ninja's ?" Xander commenting on Yu and Sheik's appearance.
"Oh right, Xander let me introduce you to my new friends, This is Yu and Sheik. Yu, Sheik this is my older brother Xander." Corrin introduced them to each other. "Oh and actually Sheik is a woman."
Hearing this Xander felt embarrassed by his mistake. "Oh I see, when I'm sorry for the mix up, I couldn't tell from that getup."
"Please do not worry about it, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance king Xander." Sheik bowing down before Xander.
"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance too your majesty, my name's Yu." Yu also bowed down, but more nervously.
"Now that's out of the way, I have something I must tell you Xander, and how I was able to meet Sheik and Yu." Corrin then begin explaining about what he's involved in.
"So this place, World of Trophy is where the three of you met, and you fought each other in combat tournament ? And that place brought many fighters across time and space to fight in a tournament ?" Questioned Xander. "And now an evil being from other world is planning to destroy us all ?"
"Yes, that's very much it." Answered Corrin.
"Well Corrin, it's not that I don't believe you, but this is just really hard to take." Xander still being skeptical.
"We've been through those other dimensions using the dragon gate before, why is my story hard to believe ? I mean for example Yu's clothes are very different from us right ? But it's very normal in his home world." Point out Corrin.
"King Xander what Corrin speak of is the truth, if you still have hard time believing then allow me to convince you." Sheik removed her disguise, revealing a woman with pointy ears. "My real identity is Princess Zelda, ruler of Hyrule, a kingdom located in a different world from yours, I've been summoned to the World of Trophy as well, and our past enemyhas come back with a vengeance, it won't be just your world at stake but the universe as well, so please we need your help."
"Brother, if a black cloaked figure showed up here it could be a Warriors of Fallen Stars, a group of warriors fallen in battle whose soul is bound by a god of death !" Exclaimed Corrin.
"Which means we know more about them than you do." Added Yu.
"Very well, hiw can I help you ?" Asked the Nohrian king.
"Hmm...first off.." Unable to finished of his sentence a guard rushed through the door delivering news to Xander.
"My king we have a problem !" The guard barged in to the room.
"What happened !" Xander then got up from his seat.
"We're under attack by Hoshidan ninjas !" Answered the guard.
"What ! Take me there at once !" Xander then run with the guard to the site of the attack
"Things have gotten serious Corrin." Replied Sheik already wore her disguise again.
"I know, but there's no way Ryoma would do this ! There's got to be an explanation ! Everyone we need to see this as well." Team Phi then left the castle also to head to the site of the attack.
Nohr Capital City Windmire
After hearing about the attack Xander and Team Phi arrived at the scene, they're at Windmire, Nohr capital city, only to find it vandalized and under attack by ninjas, panic and screams can be heard as civilians are running away from the attacks.
"Aaaaah !" A woman scream can be heard.
"Now you die Nohrian scum !" Threatened the Ninja, however a black crescent shaped beam struck the man, badly injuring him.
And then another group of ninja's showed up to attack more people, but Team Phi will put a stop to that. Corrin unsheathe his sword and for added speed generate his wings, doing a partial transformation in the process and slash the Ninja, killing him.
Two ninja's surrounds Sheik, each one in front of her and behind her, they then charged through attempting a pincer attack, however Sheik jumped out of the way causing the two to clash onto each other, Sheik then sent out her needles, aimed and throw the needles at their necks. Not long after Sheik saw the Nohrian army fight to fend off the attacks, Sheik observed them and noticed something's off.
"Alright ! Nobody move or the kid gets it !" Shouted a ninja who grabbed Yu and holding him hostage.
"Threatening a child !? Have you no shame !" Xander is angry by this cowardly act.
"Anything to secure a victory, now King Xander, if you truly want to me to spare this boy's life then you must give yours in return." Said the Ninja. "Now drop your sword !"
Xander believing no other way complied and he put Siegfried to the ground. "Alright I did as you asked, now release the boy."
"Xander, there's no need for you to do this." Said Corrin.
"As a king I must be able to protect any innocent people that set their foot on my kingdom, how can I call myself a king if I can't even saved a little boy's life." Answered Xander.
"I think you misunderstood, your majesty, that's not why Corrin asked you not to obey that man." Said Sheik as she pointed at Yu.
Yu refusing to be a hostage seconds longer, he reached to his pocket, grabbed a bowling ball and drop it at the ninja's foot, the impact gave him immense pain, forcing him to let go of Yu. Free from his clutches, Yu this time grabbed a potted plant and smshed it to the ninjas head which makes him unconscious, lastly he pulled out a helium balloons and tied it to the unconscious ninja and he floats away.
Xander is impressed by Yu and Sheik fighting style, but he have to asks questions for later.
"I wil not let any of you lay a hand on my people, now tell me..why are Hoshidan attacking us !" Xander grabbed the ninja's mask, the one that Xander defeated.
"Heh.. King Ryoma sent us, he said he wanted the destruction of Nohr once and for all." Answered the man.
"No that can't be, but..." Xander let go of his hand and starting to doubt.
"Xander ! I believe in Ryoma, there's no way he would want another conflict between us !" Shouted Corrin.
"Heh, believe what you want once we present king Ryoma with your head then the Hoshidan will be happy." The man then get up and run away, as his legs didn't get hit, he still manage to run away.
And then a soldier report to Xander. "Your majesty we manged to fend off the ninjas, Prince Leo and Princess Camilla returned just in time to help us chase them off as well !"
"I see, okay thank you for your report, but how did they managed to infiltrate our borders ?" Asked Xander.
"I don't know the people stationed at the border claimed there haven't been any Hoshidans entering our borders, we even do a thorough check either." Answered the soldier.
"Alright, you may go now, I'll go back to the castle to discuss this matter." After that Xander along with team Phi walked back to the castle.
"Hmmm... I sense magic nearby." Sheik seemed to have thought of something.
Castle Krakenburg - Audience Chamber
Xander went inside the chamber, this time his other siblings Leo and Camilla also with him, and also Azura, Elise, Kana, and Lilith are also inside.
"Yu, Sheik I must say I'm impressed with your technique, and Yu the way you fight isn't orthodox, I take it you have no fighting experience ?" Asked Xander.
"No your majesty, there aren't any conflicts in where I'm from, so no one really knows how to properly fight, I just use anything I can grab as a weapon to defend myself."
"I see, you know I could give you combat training if you'd like, and that strange ability of your may come in handy for us one day." Said Xander interested in Yu's bottomless pocket.
"Ahahah..thank you, but I'd like to return to my home world once this chaos is over, so I have to decline your offer, I'm sorry." Answered Yu clearly uninterested in becoming a soldier.
"Papa you're back !" Kana happily run towards Corrin and gave him a hug, of course this shocks both Sheik and Yu.
"Wait ! Papa !" Shouted both of them. "But she looked my age !" Commented Yu.
"Hahaha..I probably should explain later do I." Said Corrin unable to comment further.
"Brother I already healed many of the wounded, it's thanks to everyone's efforts casualties are minimal." Explained Elise.
"You really should see me in action Papa, I turned into a dragon and mop the floor with them." Bragged Kana.
"Haha I wish I could've see that as well." Corrin patted his daughter's head.
Now two more people entered the room, two boys, but the other one is dressed like a girl, one of them looks similar to Xander.
"Siegbert, Forrest how are things on your end ?" Asked Xander.
"I'm sorry father, but we didn't find anyone, we thought we had them, but they overpowered us." Explained Siegbert.
"So Papa, who are these with you, is that man from Hoshido as well ?" Asked Kana pointed at Sheik.
"So who are these people with you ? Xander sure have nice things to say about them ?" Asked Leo. "That man there doesn't look Hoshidan to me."
"Everyone, I may have an answer to your question." Corrin then explain about what he's involved in. "And I also apologized for leaving without telling anyone."
"That's okay Corrin we know you have a reason to do so, but to think you got involved in something like this." Said Azura.
"Wow everyone here is very forgiving, nice family you have here Corrin." Commented Yu.
"If I may speak." Sheik raised her hand.
"Yes, what is it Sheik ?" Asked Xander.
"I just wanted to say, are Hoshidan ninjas always that loud, and brutal ? As a ninja myself I prefer to use subtlety to fight my enemy, the way they fight isn't like a ninjas at all." Explained Sheik.
"You may be in to something, when we clashed our blades they fought like a Nohrian soldiers would do, I remember our combat styles." Added Camilla.
"What else do you know about them ?" Asked Azura.
"Is that those ninjas are led by a kunoichi, I encountered her once, and she's very arrogant and condescending. Her attitude is strangely familiar, or am I just overthinking things." Explained Leo.
"They also retreated quickly, almost as if attacking us isn't their main goal at all." Added Camilla.
"Like what ? Are you saying this attack was just a warning ?" Azura asked with a worried tone.
"If that's true then it won't be long until they make a move again !" Exclaimed Siegbert.
"Hmm, there's only one way to uncover the truth. Corrin use your golden plate, we need to speak with this Ryoma person." Suggested Sheik.
"You're right Sheik, and more in Hoshido there's the Throne of Truth, if Ryoma sit there we will know he wasn't lying." Corrin complied and used his golden plate, creating a dimensional window in order to communicate.
Once the window is formed they saw an image of a man wearing red armor and wild long hair. Everyone present in the room is awesome by what they see, with the exception of Yu, Sheik, and Corrin of course.
"Ryoma it's me Corrin, can you hear me ?"
Surprised by the dimensional window appearing in the throne room Ryoma was planning to be careful, but seeing Corrin's face on the other side is what shocks him further.
"Corrin ! Is that you ? And how is this !?" Before Ryoma can finished what he says, Corrin interjected.
"Sorry Ryoma, but we don't have much time, please I need you to be honest, did you send any soldiers from Hoshido to attack Nohr ?" Questioned Corrin.
"No, I didn't make any orders to attack Hoshido, I'm serious when I say I want peace betweeon our nations, and if you don't believe me, I will sit on my throne !" Ryoma then sit on the Throne of Truth, and the throne revealed that Ryoma isn't lying. "Here's my proof, and now I must ask why ohrian soldiers attacking the village near our borders ? The Nohrian soldiers who attack there said it's an order from King Xander."
"I never gave such orders myself, Ryoma I'm also serious when I say I want peace for both our nations, I would never do something that will plunged us back to war !" Replied Xander.
"I believe both of you there's got to be an explanation for this !" Corrin decided to intervene. "Anyway didn't someone say they saw someone in black cloak ?"
"Yes, one of the villagers saw a black cloaked figure, hiding behind the trees nearby, do you think that's the real Mastermind ?" Asked Ryoma.
"It's possible, allow me to introduce myself King Ryoma, my name is Sheik, and I'm a friend of Corrin, and if I have something to say, this attack is mostly a false flag operation to pit Nohr and Hoshido into another war." Explained Sheik. "Or at the very least to dethrone Xander and replaced him with someone who wanted another war between the two nations."
"A false flag operation ? Who would've done this !? I mean there are some people aren't happy with us being at peace with each other but.." Ryoma is confused by Sheik's theory.
"Corrin, the ninjas that we fought earlier, is that how Hoshidan ninjas looked like ? I mean their attire, appearance, and weapons." Asked Sheik.
"Well yeah that's I admit what Hoshidans are wearing, why do you ask ?" Questioned Corrin.
"A black cloaked figure who knows about Nohr and Hoshido, whoever underneath that cloak knows about both of your countries, anyone you can think of ?" Asked Sheik.
"Well, a lot of Nohrians and Hoshidans hated each other with a passion, so I can't pinpoint a specific person." Answered Corrin.
"Alright let me ask another question, do you know someone smart enough to pull this kind of operation ?"
"I know someone like that, Iago." Answered Corrin.
"Iago !? But he's dead ! I personally killed him !" Exclaimed Leo.
"Unfortunately, like I said before we will see a lot of the dead back to life." Corrin answered in a sad tone.
"Dead back to life ? Corrin what are you saying ?" Ryoma wanted to know what Corrin meant.
"Let me do the explaining this time." Sheik then explain to Ryoma about what's happening.
"Corrin is this all true ?" Asked Ryoma.
"Yes, this may hard to believe but it's true."
"Keep in mind that this is just a speculation, we will know who's underneath that cloak tomorrow evening." Answered Sheik, of course the others asked how she knows that.
"What do you mean ? How do you know they're going to attack us tomorrow ?" Asked Leo.
"It's one of my many powers." Answered Sheik.
"Yeah, long story short, Sheik's true name is Zelda, and she's a goddess reincarnation, so she possess many powers." Explained Corrin.
"We still have plenty of time until they make their next move, we should turn in for the night today, this is night right ?" Sheik couldn't tell the difference between day and night due to Nohr black skies.
"Yes, it's night, everyone you must be hungry, I'll tell the cooks to prepare dinner, we also have special guests with us today, also I'll have Jakob prepare a room for you two." After hearing the truth from Ryoma and coming up with an answer regarding the attack, Corrin ended the conversation and everyone disperse until it's time for dinner,
Castle Krakenburg - Guest Room
"And this was the room you will be staying." The butler opened the door and showed Yu and Sheik the room
"Thank you for the hospitality Jakob, you really reminds me of a butler I used to have in my castle." Complimented Sheik.
"I pride myself in my ability to serve our guest, and now if you'll excuse me, I have to help the cooks preparing for dinner." Jakob then left.
"Wow, living in a castle and banquet with royalty, never I imagined my life would be like this." Said Yu enjoying the bed.
"You know there are a lot of royalties in the smash tournaments, like me for example." Said Sheik.
"Yeah, and then there's Marth, Chrom, Lucina, Bowser, Peach, Daisy, every Zelda's I met, Ganondorf, and maybe Dedede ? Also Corrin." Stated Yu. "Say Sheik how's it like to born royalty, and not to mention you're a goddess incarnate too."
"It has it's up and downs like anyone else, and also our responsibility are much bigger, and sometimes the worst part is, someone who are close to you is maybe someone you can't trust at all." As Sheik done answering Yu's question the door opened, with Kana and Elise coming in.
"Excuse me, may we come in ?" Asked Elise still standing near the door.
"Of course, come on in." Sheik allowing the two girls to enter.
"Hello I'm Kana, nice to meet you."
"And I'm Elise, it's nice to meet you as well."
"So Kana, you're Corrin's daughter right ?" Questioned Yu.
"Well I can see the similarities." Commented Sheik.
"Yup, and he's the best." Kana only have good things to say about Corrin.
"So big brother told me you're from another world, how's your world looks like !" Exclaimed Elise sounded excited.
"I came from a kingdom called Hyrule, it's a beautiful place with abundance of nature, Lish greenery everywhere, although I would be lying if I say the place completely perfect." Answered Sheik.
"I came from a city called Smashville, it's a beautiful place full of nature as well, and kind people's, and by people they're pretty much anthropomorphic animals." Answered Yu.
"Anthro...what ?" Kana seemed confused by the big word.
"He means talking animals." Answered Sheik.
"Wow talking animals !? I want to see one !" Kana's getting excited.
"Okay, we'll take you there one day." Promised Yu.
"Your worlds sounded incredible, I wanted to come and visit one day as well." Added Elise.
Krakenburg Castle - Hallway
Leo is standing in the hallway looking at the window, Camilla saw him and strike a conversation.
"What are you thinking about ?"
"Come on, you should know what I'm thinking about, looks like Corrin got himself in another huge mess, and if he fail all of us will pay the price." Answered Leo.
"About what he said that a malevolent being is going to be summoned and destroy us all ? Say Leo why don't we help him, I'm not really comfortable letting a bunch of strangers taking care of our brother." Said Camilla.
"Strangers to us, not to Corrin, and I have to admit those two who came from another world have abilities anyone from our world will never have, which give us an element of surprise and they also gained Corrin's seal of approval as well."
"So do you believe that Sheik girl said, about another attack tomorrow night ?"
"She seemed confident about it, who knows if she's going to be right or not, but it's clear that they're the ones in the know more than we do."
"I see, well if Corrin saw them as friends, then maybe I should too, anyway it's time for dinner, have you seen Elise and Kana anywhere ?" Said Camilla looking for the kids.
"Well they did say they want to get to know Corrin's otherworldly friends, so those two must be in the guest room." Answered Leo.
"Alright i'll go get them." Camilla then walked away to the guest room.
Krakenburg Castle - Siegbert's Room
The two cousins Siegbert and Forrest rested up a bit and having conversation about current events. As the heir to the Nohrian throne Siegbert received the best education to ready himself when the tine comestine comes for him to succeed his father, other than that he also traveled to different places to discover and experience new things in order to benefit Nohr once he takes the throne. His cousin Forrest is about to revolutionize the fashion industry thanks to his interest in clothing and art.
"Hey Sieg, are you feeling alright ?" Asked Forrest.
"Not really, I had that ninja in my sights and somehow he just vanished like that, I know I said I want to be a great king onking one day, but putting it into practice is harder than I thought." Sighed Siegbert.
"I don't know if there's anything I can do for you, but if you need some help, I'm always here for you, I may not know how you feel considering I don't bear the burden of becoming a king, but at the very least I won't abandon my own family when they needed someone the most." Assured Forrest.
"Thanks, anyway uncle Corrin is back and he's been to other worlds, meeting with people from other worlds, what if..."
"Sieg, I know you want to gain as much experience as possible but, don't you think this is going overboard ? What if the way they live is much different than we do ?"
"All the more reason to learn, I'm absorbing any knowledge I can find and I will use it to lead Nohr to prosperity."
"Well if you sure, then I'm not gonna stop you."
Krakenburg Castle - Throne Room
"So you're here to asked for supplies and weapons to help your cause is that it ?" Asked Xander.
"Yes, is it out if the question ?" Questioned Corrin.
"No I'm more than happy to help you, it's just this is a bad timing honestly, with the attack and such."
"Not to worry, we will get to the bottom of this."
"Corrin will you be leaving us again after this ?" Asked Azura.
"Unfortunately, the entire universe is at stake, my friends from another worlds are willing to help me even though they're not even from here, I won't be fair if I don't do the same." Replied Corrin.
"Corrin let me go with you, with my power I can help you in many cases." Insisted Lilith.
"Are you sure Lilith ? This is a dangerous mission we're doing ?" Asked Corrin.
"I'm sure of this !"
"Okay, I guess R.O.B won't mind one more person aboard the ship."
"A ship ? Is that your base Corrin ?" Asked Xander curious.
"Yes, despite being called a ship it actually floats in the air, and inside full of stuff our world doesn't have, like a devices called phones or television, some of my friends from other worlds are familiar with it and showed me how to use it, of course I never got to use it as we returned back to our worlds after defeating Master Core."
"That sounds fascinating, I wish I could come along with you, but sadly I need to watch over the kingdom, I will have what you request ready for tomorrow." Said Xander.
"Thank you brother." Corrin thanked his brother.
"Well let's head to the dining room, dinner should be ready by now." Everyone then left the throne room and head to the dining hall.
Krakenburg Castle - Dining Hall
Everyone gathered and enjoyed the dinner, Yu was all nervous as he never thought he would be eating with Kings before, while Sheik knows what to do considering she is a princess herself.
"So Corrin, we've been talking with Kana and Elise earlier, you sure have complicated family tree." Stated Sheik.
""Well that's what you got when your father lost his sanity, and your mother take you away to foreign land, and got kidnapped by the enemy of said foreign land." Stated Corrin. "But I suppose it's thanks to that Nohr and Hoshido finally ended their long feud."
"Yes we'll, Ryoma and I turns out wanting peace for both our nations, and our love for our younger brother also helped us to see the truth." Answered Xander.
"Unfortunately we never did get to know Corrin as he's summoned during our last battle." Stated Sheik.
"Hey did you hear Papa, Yu said his world have talking animals ! I want to see one !" Exclaimed Kana.
"Talking animals ? Now you're just exaggerating, there's no way thise are real." Leo being skeptical.
"We don't have talking animals here Leo, that much is true, but believe me I've seen those talking animals." Convinced Corrin.
"If Corrin said that, then it must be true, I really wish I could see one as well." Smiled Camilla.
"By the way I haven't seen Felicia and Flora anywhere ? Where are they ?" Asked Corrin.
"They're still back at home with the ice tribe." Answered Leo.
"I see, I guess it's for the best they still haven't back yet." Said Corrin.
"Which reminds me I think now is the time to discuss our strategy to deal with them tomorrow." Sheik raised her hand.
"Alright Sheik, how are we going to do it ?" Asked Xander.
As everyone enjoying their meal they also discussed about their plan tomorrow to stop another attack, once that done they all returned to their rooms and turn in for the night.
Nohr - Windmire
Tomorrow has come, and the sky doesn't look any different from yesterday, Corrin guide Sheik and Yu around Nohr, with Azura tagging along
"So this Hyrule kingdom is different from ours ?" Asked Azura.
"Yes it's different, but I didn't mean it in a bad way, usually castles are well above ground for starters." Commented Sheik.
"I see, I guess Nohr is unique in that aspect then, it's sad that you must leave immediately after this, we didn't have the chance to know each other more." Lamented Azura.
"Sadly after we left the tournament our memories are always erased, hopefully that isn't the case this time." Stated Sheik.
"Well you're not in the tournament, so maybe once this is over your memories won't be erased." Guessed Azura.
"I wished so too, I must admit despite the dreary atmosphere the people of Nohr is quite nice." Said Sheik after receiving a warm welcome from the Nohrians.
After getting to sightsee around Nohr they all returned to the castle to execute their plan.
Windmire
Night has come and everyone is already in place to disrupt the ninja's further attack, however...they showed up again and ransacked everything, Nohrian soldiers more prepared this time quickly retaliate, and the ninja's retreated immediately.
"Just as planned, they're not here to caused damage, they're here to get the people to rebel against the royal family." Muttered Sheik. "And just in time I sensed that magic again."
As the ninjas run away, they're in for a nasty surprise as Yu prepare a trap to cut off their escape. "Surprise ! Now everyone !" The soldiers dropped a large net big enough to trap the run away ninja's, while Yu personally disarmed all of them using various tools in his pocket.
A woman fed up from the attacks begin shouting. "See what happened ! King Xander wanted us to make peace with the Hoshidans, and look where it get us ! We're under attack from them, either king Xander declare war against Hoshido or we will overthrow him !" This almost land her the citizens support but..
"I think you're lying game is over." Sheik showed herself and come close to the woman.
"What ! Who are you ? Are you from Hoshido ? Haven't you had enough terrorizing us !" Said the woman angrily. "If king Xander didn't do anything after this then we may as well be dead, they will come back for us until their evil king Ryoma wants us dead !"
"You don't have to worry about that, king Xander actually did something to make sure this doesn't happen again." Sheik point her finger to the direction behind the woman only to find all the ninja's have been captured. "Yu sure does able to carry anything in his pocket."
"What ! You fools ! How did you let yourself got captured ! Aah." The woman quickly covered her mouth which raised suspicion among everyone.
"And now for the finishing touch." Sheik using her magic create a flash of light and aimed it toward the ninjas, once it hits them their form changes into armored wearing men. "Illusions, just like I thought, no wonder you easily escaped detection, and the fighting style isn't like a ninja at all, you may be able to disguise your face, but ninja skills isn't something you can disguise."
"Those are Nohrian soldiers !" Shouted the villagers.
The woman's face also changed into someone the royal family knows.
"Daniela !? So you're a part of this !? I spared your life and this is how you repay me !" Retorted Xander angrily revealing himself hiding among the crowds.
"Not yet !" Sheik pull out her needles and aimed it towards the source of the magic which is near the wall to the left. "No use hiding, I can sense your magic, and evil intent from here."
Thanks to Sheik's attack a black cloaked figure did appeared, forcing it to reveal itself.
"A black cloaked figure !? Remove that cloak or I will do it for you !" Threatened Xander.
"To think my plans would fall apart this quickly." The figure remove the cloak, revealing a familiar face among the Nohrian royalty, he's a man wearing a mask that covers half his face , dressed in black robe and have ling black hair.
"Iago ! But how !? And that means !?" Xander baffled by Iago's return.
"A good question indeed, but it's for another time, Daniela we're leaving !" Iago then telported Daniela and his followers away from the kingdom.
"He can do teleportation as well huh ? That explains the easy escape and quick movements as well." Muttered Sheik.
This revelation shocks everyone as Iago were supposed to be dead, with the reveal Xander explained to the people that the attacks were not caused by Hoshido, but a false flag operation to justify another war against Hoshido, with the truth revealed the people sided with Xander once more.
Krakenburg Castle - Throne Room
"So it was a false flag operation. They attack Hoshido to justify a war against Nohr." Stated Ryoma speaking through a dimensional window created by the golden plate.
"Yes, it was done by Iago, our deceased general, he's back from the dead like what Corrin told us yesterday." Explained Xander.
"Understood, I'm just glad that this is a big misunderstanding." Ryoma felt relieved.
"We couldn't have done it without our new friends from other worlds, if you're feeling grateful they're most deserving of it than I am."
"Right, Sheik I thank you for clearing all this, you have my gratitude." Thanked Ryoma.
"Just doing what needs to be done, but thank you for your kind words king Ryoma." Replied Sheik.
"Right, Corrin you said you need supplies for this battle you're involved in right ? I prepare all of them here, I should bring a horse to carried it and..."
"There's no need for that your majesty." Yu then putting everything inside his pocket which shocks everyone. "All set, mission accomplished Corrin."
"If I may, I would also be traveling with all of you starting today." Lilith raised her hand.
"Sure we can have one more person coming with us." Agreed Yu.
"I wish we could come with you, but seeing Iago is back we must keep our guard up, he might be still here somewhere, making new plans." Lamented Xander.
"I don't know if I'm allowed to do this, but here Xander, you can have my golden plate, use it to speak to Ryoma if necessary." Corrin handed over his golden plate to Xander and teach him how to use it. "Everyone looks like it's time to say goodbye for now, but I will return when this is all over."
Kana seeing Corrin is about to leave again starting to cry. "Papa are you leaving already ?"
"I won't be long, besides you have your uncles, aunts, and cousins here to keep you company."
"But, but !"
"I say let her come Corrin, besides Kana's far from the only children there, there's Yu here for example." Stated Sheik.
"Yeah ! And then there's Lucas, Ness, Popo, Nana, Bowser Jr., Young Link, and Toon Link with us." Reminded Yu.
"Well I'm not involving my daughter in something dangerous, end of discussion ! Yu get us back to the ship !" Yu then activate his golden plate and teleported away, however Kana rushed in towards team Phi and Lilith, resulting the teleportation light engulfing her as well."
And done, well this is a lot of words for this chapter, but oh well I'm satisfied with the result anyway.
So since Sheik actually Zelda in disguise, obviously she can use magic, and she used it to dispel Iago's illusion.
Daniela is one of the capturable bosses in FE Fates, I will have the rest show up, but whatever their role is depending on their redeemable traits, like Daniela doesn't seem to have any sympathetic quality so she's an enemy.
The balloons Yu used is based on his up special Balloon Trip, where villager fly using a balloon, and if it strong enough to lift a child, why not adults as well, and for those of you who want to know, about the Ninja that Yu tied to the balloon, after flying quite high the balloon soon popped and he plummet to his death, of course that man isn't actually a ninja in the first place.
