Aether - Great Temple
Samus and co. finally arrived at Planet Aether, a while ago the planet is close to being destroyed as the Luminoth are on the losing war against the Ing, native to Dark Aether, but thanks to Samus timely intervention the Luminoth and Light Aether is saved and Dark Aether and the Ings are no more. Now after the defeat of the Ing the Luminoth are rebuilding their planet, with their advanced technology it's just a matter of time until Aether returned to it's former beauty.
"Now with all our worlds at stake you're more than welcome to use any of our weaponry." Said U-Mos floating with Samus walked beside him, and the rest in the back.
As they reach the center of the Great Temple another Luminoth rushed to U-Mos seemingly in a hurry to inform him of something. "U-Mos there's someone here would like to see you."
"See me ? Who ?" Asked U-Mos as the other Luminoth then pointed his finger at the figure. "Can it be ? Mother !?"
"Yes my son, it it I your mother V-Mos." Introduced the Luminoth.
"Mother I..."
"I know what you've done for us, and I couldn't be more proud, our civilization is saved because of your efforts." V-Mos praising her son, and then she turned her attention to Samus. "And you Samus Aran was it ? I'm also very grateful for your help in saving our kind."
"I'm just doing my job." Replied Samus nonchalantly. The three of them then begin talking about how the Ing are defeated, a conversation the rest of the team can't follow.
"Look at him, already introducing Samus to his parents." Grumbled Snake.
"Can't believe you're jealous over this ? Why, do you want to introduce Samus to your parents Snake ?" Teased Bayonetta.
Hearing that Snake can't really answer since his relationship with his parents is complicated and only reconcile at their last moments. "Umm well that's quite hard to say."
"Honestly you should just enjoy the view here, not Everytime we got a chance to see another planet, look at Greninja." Bayonetta pointed at Greninja who's standing on the ceiling looking outside through the windows.
"Yeah fine, I guess I'll look around as well." Snake also leave wanting to explore the Great Temple.
"That should clear his head for the time being...hmm what was that ?" Bayonetta seemed to noticed something.
Ylisstol - Outside the Castle
After getting sidetracked and ended up in Regna Ferox Chrom finally return to Ylisse, they teleported to the castle entrance with the golden plate.
"Alright everyone welcome to Ylisse." Said Chrom as the Feroxi were surprised by what happened.
"We're at Ylisse already ?" Questioned Lon'qu.
"Incredible, it's like the Warp technique but it can send you much further." Commented Flavia.
"All of you better get used to it, the rest of our friends have abilities that doesn't exist in our world." Explained Robin as they went inside the castle.
"So how's it feel returning back here after 2000 years ?" Asked Robin.
"So this is Ylisse ? I see this what happened to Archanea in the future." Commented Marth as he finally see his former kingdom with his own eyes.
Caeda looked around before turning her attention to Marth. "It does look different but, the feels just like home isn't it Marth ?" Caeda is feeling nostalgic.
"Yeah, you're right, and now this is the home of our descendants." Replied Marth also feeling nostalgic.
As they all walked to the throne room a blonde girl with twintails greeted them. "Chrom ! Welcome back !"
"It's good to see you too again Lissa, how's your travel ?" Asked Chrom.
"It was great, I've learned so many things during my travels, wait till I told you all about it !" Lissa then noticed the people behind Chrom. "Wow ! Lucina it's good to see you again ! And Flavia, Olivia, and Lon'qu as well ! And who are the others ?"
"About that, do you see Frederick by any chance ?" Chrom tried to dodge the question.
"He should be in his room, training just over a while ago, and you didn't answer my question !" Pouted the princess.
"Father I think we should tell Aunt Lissa, everyone needs to know what happened." Lucina tried to persuade her father.
"Okay, but I think it's best to gather everyone to talk about this." Replied Chrom.
And then Chrom informed everyone of his return, of course with Chrom returned to his kingdom through teleportation nobody knows the king has returned, Robin then make official summons to gather the allies he fought with during the war.
Aether - Great Temple
With their conversation over Samus once again stand under the Light of Aether energy controller, exposed to the light Samus gain the light suit once again, she also received weapons from the Luminoth like annihilator beam, and Sonic boom for example.
"Are you sure I'm allowed to keep all this ?" Asked Samus in her light suit.
"If there's anyone we trust in using our technology it's you." Answered U-Mos.
"Alright I will not disappoint you." Affirmed Samus.
And then suddenly a black insectoid creature with one orange eye showed up at the temple, but this isn't just some alien bug, it's the creature Samus and Luminoth have bad history with.
"An Ing !" As Samus ready her blaster, a giant fist appeared above and crushed the Ing, killing it.
"Just dealing with some pest, you really need to better clean your temple." Bayonetta approached the trio in the Temple Center.
"Bayonetta, thanks for the save, that's not just a bug you kill, that's an Ing, they're a race of malevolent alien bent on conquering the universe." Explained Samus.
"These little things are conquerors ? Such a big dream for a mere insects." Taunted Bayonetta as she never encountered an Ing before.
"They have the ability to possess others and used their host abilities as their own, imagine what would happen if they possess you." Warned Samus as she knows what Bayonetta is capable of.
"Well that's...alright I see your point."
"I destroyed Dark Aether, could it be these are survivors ?" Pondered Samus.
"I don't know since I left Aether for a while, mother do you know anything about this ?" Asked U-Mos.
"Actually we do, I'm afraid I have bad news to give, while you were gone Dark Aether has somehow reborn, they still exist in parallel dimension but not occupying the same space as ours this time, of course we are more prepared to combat them this time around." Explained V-Mos.
"But how is it possible ? I've been gone quite long, and without the Light of Aether, Dark Aether can't survive ! How is it able to survive that long !?" Questioned the Luminoth.
"We went to investigate already and now that we are better prepared this time we won't suffer any massive losses like we did before, this is what we found on the Sky Temple." V-Mos create a hologram of a gem shaped object on her hand. "We don't know what this is, but we can sense this gem possess near unlimited power, however as the team sent there about to take it, Emperor Ing showed up, forcing them to retreat."
"A gem possessing incredible power you say ? But can it be that ?" Muttered Samus.
"Samus do you know about this gem ?" Asked U-Mos curious.
"This is just a speculation, but what V-Mos shows us are likely a Chaos Emerald." Answered Samus.
"Chaos Emerald ? I'm afraid I never heard of it."
"Chaos Emeralds are powerful object that possess incredible power, of course their existence are very random, I also know about this because I have an ally from another world, the Emeralds power is strong enough that spacetime can be distorted with the Emeralds power." Explained Samus. "That's gotta be what's powering Dark Aether right now."
"This happened right under my nose and I didn't know a thing." Lamented U-Mos.
"It's not your fault, you have something you must do, and now the Sentinels are back and we will defend our world from the Ing." Assured V-Mos.
"By the way have you seen Snake and Greninja around ?" Samus asked Bayonetta.
"They were looking around the temple, fine I'll bring them here." Bayonetta transformed to her panther form to find Snake and Greninja.
Ylisstol Castle - Audience Chamber
After the summons have been issued all the former Shepherds finally arrived at the castle responding to Chrom's message, there's Frederick, Sumia, Lissa, Stahl, Miriel, Cordelia, Sully, Ricken, Maribelle, and Vaike.
"Sire I have no idea you have returned, why I would've prepare a grand entrance to celebrate your return." Lamented Frederick.
"That won't be necessary Frederick, seriously don't do it." Chided Chrom.
"You summoned all of us Chrom ? Based on my deduction I'm sure you didn't call all of us here for a mere reunion." Stated Miriel.
"Unfortunately that is correct Miriel, I'm here to informed you of the things I find during my travel earlier." Chrom then begin telling his allies about what's happening behind the scenes which shocks everyone.
"You gotta be kidding right !? Now you're saying there's some evil being who wanted to wipe us off !" Replied Vaike angrily.
"This is no joke, now as proof the people stand before you are the people from our past, they were brought to life for this mission." Chrom pointed at Marth, Roy, and Caeda.
"I am Marth, King of Archanea, now this must be unbelievable but that is what currently happening right now." Confirmed the hero King.
"Well we have seen people traveling from the future to the past, so I guess seeing the dead back to life isn't so surprising anymore." Commented Cordelia. "But summoned to other world to fight in a tournament consists of otherworlders seemed hard to believe."
"if you still have doubts to what we said, then let me show all one of our allies from other worlds, Mr. Game & Watch please introduce yourself." Mr. GW stepped out from Roy's cape and show himself to everyone else, his existence have further surprised everyone.
"What the what is this..thing !?" Frederick is astonished to find Mr. GW to be flat.
"He's really flat, so how do you eat anyway ?" Commented Stahl.
"Honestly, this is the discovery of the century and that's what you first think about ? Though I admit I am curious, do you even eat ? How about others like you ? Etc. Etc.." Miriel bombarded the 2D man with a barrage of questions.
"Okay Chrom we believe you, now what do you want us to do ?" Asked Sully no longer denying things.
"I just want you to be prepared, there's a chance our enemy the Neo Subspace Army will launch an attack on this kingdom." Stated Chrom.
"We won't be coming with you sire ?" Asked Frederick.
"Sorry, but I need you here, someone need to looks after Sumia and baby Lucina while I'm gone." Explained Chrom.
"Chrom why don't you take us with you ? If it's really dangerous don't you think we'll be safer with you ?" Asked Sumia.
"She's right Chrom, at our base there are a lot of people who can guard them." Agreed Robin.
"Very well then, Sumia come with us and bring Lucina with you too, Frederick I'm leaving the kingdom in your care for the time being, Lissa you'll be coming with me, we could use more healer on the ship." Commanded Chrom.
"Of course sire, you can leave running things to me !" Frederick accepted his duty fullheartedly.
"Alright Chrom, you won't regret having me onboard !" Said Lissa excitedly.
"Wait Chrom ! Did you say ship ? Won't it be dangerous to be on water ?" Asked Ricken.
"Actually believe it or not the ship is flying, it's a flying ship." Chrom clarified his statement which intrigued everyone.
"A ship that flies ? Could such a thing be possible ?" Questioned Cordelia.
"It is possible, I've been on one myself." Answered Marth.
"This is very fascinating indeed, ship that fly in the sky, resurrection of the dead, two dimensional lifeform, please Chrom I insist you take me with you, I highly doubt there will be similar opportunity like this in a long time." Miriel walked closely to Chrom pressuring him to take her with him.
"Calm down Miriel, I'm sorry but I need you to be here, our kingdom is at stake, if you do I promise I'll find a way to take you to other worlds." Said Chrom nervously.
"If you insist, but know that I will never forget this promise." Miriel warned Chrom with a glare.
"Uuh, yes we'll now Cordelia, I'd like for you to go to Plegia and warned them about this as well."
"Of course sire, I'll make sure they get the message !" Agreed Cordelia.
"You all know what you must do in my absence, I'll be counting on all of you."
"YES SIR !" Shouted all the Shepherds in unison.
"You have quite the subjects under you Chrom, I wish the same could be said to me." Commented Flavia.
"They're more than that, they're my trusted friends, I'll admit this isn't usually how commoners and royalty behave but I prefer things this way." Replied Chrom.
"Chrom, about our mission ?" Asked Robin.
"Oh right, I would like a supplies of weapons and medicines readied for my travel." Said Chrom.
"Alright please wait a moment I'll get everything ready." Frederick then left the audience chamber to fulfill Chrom's order.
Aether - Great Temple
With team Beta pretty much done it's time to head back to the ship.
"So how's the sightseeing ?" Samus asked Snake and Greninja.
"This is a beautiful planet I'll give you that, so very different from Earth." Answered Snake.
"I think I should stay after all, with the Ing came back we need all the manpower available." Stated U-Mos.
"Well if that's what's best for you then I think you should stay and defend your people." Snake quickly agreeing with U-Mos, which makes Bayonetta and Greninja facepalmed knowing his true motive.
"There's no need for that, U-Mos go with them, us Sentinels are prepared more than ever, and now since Dark Aether isn't occupying the same space we do, we don't have to worry about quick invasion, and we are now more ready for an Ing attack." V-Mos assuring her son.
"Alright mother, looks like I'll be coming with all of you."
"Glad to have you on board U-Mos, hopefully you can get along with everyone just fine." Samus welcomed her new ally, and so are Bayonetta and Greninja, Snake on the other hand try to hide his displeasure.
"So Samus are we not going to this Dark Aether planet ?" Asked Bayonetta.
"Not yet, Dark Aether is a dangerous planet, the atmosphere is very toxic, we can't come in unprepared, I can go with my light suit which protects me from it's deadly atmosphere, but for everyone else, that's.."
"Okay, then again we don't know much about Chaos Emerald anyway, we'll just ask Sonic when he gets back." Replied Bayonetta.
"I guess it's time to go now, let's go back to my ship, we can return to our base using the golden plate." Everyone then returned to Samus's ship as V-Mos wave goodbye to them.
Ylisse - Outside the Castle
Frederick already prepare the supplies which is a mountain of weapons, medicines, and even a few Pegasus.
"This is more than expected." Commented Roy looking at the stack of objects.
"Since this is a bigger threat than Grima of course we need to be more prepared than ever, sire hopefully this shall be enough for your journey." Frederick making sure everything is complete.
"I'm sure is enough, well more than enough, anyway Frederick I'm entrusting you with this." Chrom give Frederick a golden plate.
"Sire what is this ?" Asked the Knight.
Chrom then teach Frederick how to use the device much to his disbelief. "Incredible ! Such a thing will make more lives convenient !"
"Use it if you need to contact us, we will be there, or our allies will come to you, and of course please don't let Miriel come near it, i only have one and she might tampered with it." Stated Chrom much to Miriel disappointment.
"I guess we're done here right Chrom ?" Asked Robin.
"Yes we are, now let's head back to the ship." Chrom prepared to open a portal with the golden plate.
"Wait, Roy, here use this should team morale goes low." Frederick gave Roy a sealed package, "and should you need to recruit more people to your cause feel free to use it."
"Will do sir Frederick." Roy opened the package and tried to take peek what's inside, it turns out to be a poster of some kind, and when he looked, Roy's face turned pale and put it back in. "Wow is he really that desperate for soldiers he had to do this ?"
Chrom then teleported the items back to the ship, and then he teleported everyone to return to S.S Light.
And that's that, it's just a continuation of Samus and Chrom's team story, there's nothing exciting I know, but hopefully the next two chapters will make up for it.
Snake really had no reason to be jealous, seriously.
If you're wondering what Roy see that makes his face pale I suggest you play FE Awakening, and watch Chrom and Frederick support conversation, or just watch it at YouTube or wherever.
For those who play FE Awakening Miriel use a lot of difficult and barely used words, I'm going to downplay that since I don't know that many words either.
U-Mos and V-Mos isn't exactly shown to be connected here that's because V-Mos died giving birth to U-Mos, which is why he never had a chance to know his mother, all he can do is maintain a conversation, inside he's unsure of how he feels that suddenly his mother came back to life.
Character debut : V-Mos, Ing, Cordelia, Lissa, Miriel, Ricken, Maribelle, Frederick.
