Smash Mansion - Mac's Room
After a night of having their first time sleepover the boys and girls stayed up late and doing things teens usually do at sleepover, for the people from medieval eras such as Link, Lucina, Roy, etc. the experience is new and exciting to them and they would like to have another sleepover should time allows it, and now morning came and they're all still asleep, however Mewtwo contacted Red using telepathy.
("Red ? Red are you awake ?")
Red who slept on the couch got up and let out a yawn while stretching his arm. "Mmm...mmm...Mewtwo ? Is that you ?" Red talking while half asleep.
("Yes it's me, I need to talk to you.") Replied Mewtwo.
Groaning, Red put his feet on the floor and start walking towards the door, Blue who slept not too far from Red saw that Red is leaving the room as he rubbed his eyes.
Hallway
Red left the room to see Mewtwo, it's early morning in the Mansion and no one is waking up yet.
Red finally encounter the ultimate life form as he still feeling groggy just waking up from sleep. "*Yawn* what is it Mewtwo ? Does it need to be this early ?"
("I can see you're having fun last night, Anyway this can't wait, I need you to sent out Charizard.") Red is surprised by Mewtwo's demand as his eyes fully opened briefly.
"Charizard ? I'm not sure you want that, but okay ?" Heeding Mewtwo's instruction Red pull out his pokeball and sent out Charizard.
("Good, Red you know now that today is when Shulk went back to get his girlfriend right ?") Asked Mewtwo.
"Yeah, I know that, but what does that have to do with Charizard ?" Asked Red.
("I'm getting there, you should realize since Shulk spoke of his girlfriend in the meeting room, that would mean the mole would know that as well.") Continued Mewtwo.
"So what you're saying the mole is going to instruct the enemy to go after Shulk's girlfriend ?" Asked Red.
("Yes it's most likely, and here's where Charizard came in, during the 4th tournament where it's Shulk first time summoned to this world, we got a stage that resemble his homeworld Bionis, and in that stage there's a stage hazard that took the form of Shulk's enemy Metal Face.") Answered Mewtwo.
"Growl (I remember him !)" Said Charizard.
("I'm sure you do Charizard, and here's why I called you here I'm suggesting that Charizard should accompany Shulk, it's likely that Metal Face the one sent by the enemy to go after Shulk's girlfriend.") Mewtwo deducing possible outcome.
"Hmm, is that so ? Okay I understand, Charizard you'll accompany Shulk okay ?" Asked Red as Charizard nodded obediently.
("And I'm asking you not to hold back when you encounter Metal Face.") Stated Mewtwo sternly.
"Wait ! Mewtwo are you sure ? You know a Charizard fire breath can melt almost anything ! That's why I always ask it to hold back during battles." Replied a shocked Red knowing how dangerous Charizard's fire breath is.
("I'm afraid we can't show any mercy to Metal Face, Shulk said his stage hazard attitude is no different than the real one, he's rotten to the core.") Replied Mewtwo.
"Still though how are you sure it's him that were going to meet ?" Asked Red.
("Call it a psychic intuition, not to mention from what Shulk told me during the 4th tournamnet Metal Face killed his girlfriend once, I'm sure he's excited to do it again out of revenge.") Explained Mewtwo.
"Okay I relent, well I'm not going on any mission this time so we should use the opportunity to find the mole, whoever it is hopefully he or she isn't on this time mission." Stated Red.
("That we should, sorry for calling you out this early, you can go back to Mac's room now.") Mewtwo then teleported away as Red put Charizard back inside the pokeball.
Unbeknownst to Red, Blue was eavesdropping his conversation with Mewtwo. ("There's a mole on our side...") Hearing Red's footsteps getting closer Blue quickly hurry back to Mac's Room.
Mac's Room
Red return to Mac's Room, not realizing Blue was eavesdropping earlier as Blue returned early, the others are starting to wake up.
"*Yawn* good morning, what time is it ?" Roy rubbing his eyes.
"It's...well it's said 7.30 in my phone but who knows how time flows in this world." Replied Mac who is checking his phone.
"Well Shulk, Corrin you two better get ready, you're going first right ?" Asked Ike.
"Yeah, we're going to Alcamoth and released the Telethia there, we're also going to speak with Melia, the ruler of Alcamoth, she deserve to know what's going on." Answered Shulk.
"Hey Shulk, here." Red gave Shulk a pokeball. "I'm not going on any mission this time, so why don't I lend you Charizard, I'm sure Charizard will be a huge help."
"Are you sure Red ? I don't think we're going to run into much trouble, all we did is just visit Fiora and Melia, oh and also returning the Telethia back home." Replied Shulk.
"It's fine, just being careful, if there's nothing going on you can always return Charizard to me after you got back." Insisted Red.
"Okay, guess I'll be taking Charizard with me then." Shulk grabbed Red's pokeball and put it in his pocket.
Seeing this Corrin remember something. "Oh that's right ! I forgot, Red when I'm back to my world Iago is seen using pokemons as well against me." Corrin gave the two pokeballs to Red.
"Really ? What kind of pokemons are inside ?" Asked Blue.
"I've never seeing it before, one is a dragon with blue scales and red wings, the other is a green dragon with red eyes." Corrin described the pokemon.
"Blue dragon with red wings ? Green dragon with red eyes ? Could it be Salamence and Flygon ?" Asked Blue.
"Only one way to find out." Red sent out the pokemons inside the pokeball, confirming it's indeed Salamence and Flygon.
"It is Salamence and Flygon ! But they don't seem to well." Noticed Blue seeing the two dragon pokemons seemed beaten up.
"They just fought Corrin, Kana, and Lilith, they need proper treatment." Said Red. "If only we have healing machines here like the ones in Pokemon Centers."
"Let us try, I don't know how you heal pokemons, but maybe healing magic can help, c'mon Brady, you heal the green dragon, I'll do the blue dragon." Offered Laurent as he and Brady begin using their magic on the dragon pokemons.
"Hiiii...make sure you keep those things from me, I don't want those dragons to make a rabbit stew out of me !" Yarne hiding behind the sofa.
"Geez, what are you worried about ? If they do you'll just turned to trophy and we can always revive you." Sighed Inigo.
"Well...I know, but I still don't want my fur caught in fire either way !" Yarne is being persistent.
Laurent and Brady begin using their healing magic, and soon both Salamence and Flygon return to full health as their injuries are gone.
"Great, that patch them up real good !" Brady proud of his effort.
"Indeed, it's good that there's healer on our midst." Replied Laurent.
Being healed both Salamence and Flygon showed their gratitude by snuggling on Brady and Laurent.
"Hey Corrin you said your enemy use Salamence and Flygon right ? Has he had pokemon training before ? Salamence and Flygon are rather hard to raise or train, so they can't be obedient to someone who never seen a pokemon before." Stated Blue.
"Doesn't seem he has any difficulty controlling them, Now that I think about it they were rather brutal when we faced them ?" Realized Corrin.
"Your enemy Iago is a magic user right ? Could he be using magic to control Salamence and Flygon ?" Asked Red.
"I don't know, I mean it's possible." Replied Corrin.
"So now we have to return them home right ? Maybe they live in Hoenn region ?" Asked Blue.
"So I hate to interrupt but, what about the one I caught ?" Asked Sonic as he hold the Beast Ball in his hand.
"Oh right your mission was to caught the ultra beast." Remembered Red.
"Actually I also got one as well." Link present a pokeball to Red and Blue. "The creature inside looks like this." Link scroll around his Sheikah Slate and showed Red and Blue a picture of Pincurchin.
"That's a Pincurchin ! you can find these in Galar region." Commented Red.
"So I take it you're going to return them home then ? The pokemons we encounter seemed to came from different regions from what you said." Remarked Corrin.
"Hmm...you know I've been thinking this for a while now, but I decide not to return them home just yet, I think it's best if they stay with us for the time being." Answered Red which surprises everyone.
"You want to keep them here !?" Mac not expecting Red's answer.
"Yes, it's clear that this is a Pokemon smuggling, if we return them home our enemies can just come back and poached them again, so instead we'll have these pokemons join us, with our lack of manpower I believe having more pokemons can offset such disadvantage." Explained Red.
"I see your point but still..." Mac voiced his doubts.
"There's nothing can be done, the fact that so many pokemons are smuggled means they're cunning enough to avoid detection, if they use magic or powers non existent in our world they could easily elude authorities, so it's up to us who know what's going on to do something about it." Replied Red.
"When you put it that way..." Mac slowly begin to accept Red's suggestion.
"Anyway it's best if we leave them in the sanctuary, we can use their help depending on the situation." And with that Salamence and Flygon are put back inside the pokeballs, Red collect the pokeballs in Sonic and Link hands as Red got up and leave the room.
"So do you think Red is following your suggestion Laurent ?" Asked Inigo.
"What ? The one about using Pokemon power to bolster our manpower ? He is being vague about it, maybe I can ask him later." Said Laurent.
"For most people pokemons are treated as companions, but for some people Pokemons are seen as either weapons or used to make profits, naturally I'm actually angry about these incidents as well." Blue is letting out a silentt anger.
"It's always a wonder how in your world humans and monsters are cooperating with each other, meanwhile in our world, they're pretty much a threat to our safety." Shulk point out the difference between his world and Pokemon world.
"Some pokemons are hostile and dangerous though, make sure you stay away from ghosts or poison type...or well most types in general, well depends on the Pokemon types or species i guess." Warned Blue.
"I'm not sure it's the same but in Nohr we do have Faceless, although they need to be controlled by magic, if not they can go on mindless destruction." Added Corrin.
"I'd rather not rely on abominations such as those, that said, I am very curious about Pokemons, maybe I'd like to raise one." Stated Laurent.
"Oh ? Showing an interest are we ? Then consider yourself lucky as you got a great mentor right here !" Boasted Blue with a smug looking smile.
"Yeah, I'll be sure to learn all I can from you." Replied Laurent.
Not long after Red return back to the room, already done leaving the pokemons at the sanctuary. "I'm back, luckily there's a place with strong magnetic field perfect for Xurkitree, so anyway Ike there's something I need to speak to you about."
"With me ?" Ike give off a confused expression.
"Yeah, when Mewtwo went to Lucas world it said to meet a man named Lehran, do you know that is ?" Ike is sounded surprised hearing it from Red.
"Lehran !? Yes I do know him !?" Exclaimed Ike.
"Well Mewtwo said Lehran may be on the enemy side, one of Kirby's enemy showed up there to attack Lucas's village, but before Mewtwo and the others can finish him off, Lehran saved him." Red told everything to Ike.
"I-i see." Responded Ike softly.
"Hey Ike isn't Lehran is...?" Asked Roy.
"Yeah, I can tell you some things as it is a long story." Ike begin telling the story of Lehran and his role in Ike's adventure.
"That's extremely awful, his tribe got massacred from the senators machinations." Link expressed his horrors hearing Ike's story.
"The goddesses Yune and Ashera supposed to merge together to become Ashunera again, so what's he's doing on the enemy side ? Why would he be a part of Neo Subspace Army, it has been thousands of years since I left Tellius." Ike stroking his chin.
"We can ask him should we encounter him again, right know we need to focus on our duties." Said Marth.
"You're right, we just need to focus on what's in front of us." Added (TP)Link.
"Well this been fun Mac, we should do this sleepover thing more often." Link enjoying the sleepover.
"Too bad we don't get to have much love talk yesterday, but if anyone need some love advice I'm always ready to make time for it !" Boasted Inigo.
"I don't recommend that, listening to Inigo will just guarantee the path of eternal bachelorhood." Remarked Gerome which infuriate Inigo as the other guys laughed at that statement.
Dining Room
After showering, brushing teeth, and changing clothes, the heroes then having their breakfast before leaving to do their mission.
"So Green how's your sleepover ?" Asked Blue.
"It was fun, here take a look." Green pull out her Room Phone and showed some pictures of the sleepover. "We really want to do it again."
"So are we, but we have a mission to do first." Replied Blue.
"Hey Lucina, when Fiora gets here, could you please greet her ? I don't want her to feel awkward coming to a place where she doesn't know almost everyone." Shulk asking a favor to Lucina.
"Sure, I don't mind, it'll be nice to see Fiora again, well the memories came from parallel me, but maybe Fiora doesn't need to know that ?" Lucina doesn't know whether to tell the truth to Fiora or not.
"I think you can save that story for later." Replied Shulk.
"In that case why don't we join in as well ? We'd like to also meet Fiora again." Offered Ken.
"Oh that's right, you and Ryu also got to travel with Fiora as well right ? Sure the more the merrier, Fiora would be comfortable knowing there are familiar faces here." Shulk agreeing to the decision.
And so done with their breakfast it's time for the mission to begin.
Outside
Shulk and his team stand outside the Mansion as they're ready to leave, with Isabelle doing a roll call.
"Okay to confirm one last time, the ones going to Bionis will be Shulk, Corrin, Lilith, and Kana ? Any other last minute addition ?" Asked Isabelle.
"Red did lend Charizard to me, does that count ?" Asked Shulk showing Isabelle Red's pokeball.
"Okay then I guess I will add Charizard." Isabelle tapping her golden plate.
"If you don't mind, I would like to come along as well." Isabelle turned around to see Veronica offered to come as well.
"Oh ? Miss Veronica you want to join Shulk to Bionis ?" Asked Isabelle.
"Yeah, I figure since we're all suppose to help you out, we should do our part as well, so I'm joining this crew." Insisted Veronica.
"Understood, welcome aboard Veronica." Shulk welcomes Veronica to his team.
"Well I guess that's it then, it's time to go." Said Corrin.
"I'll support you all from the Archive Room okay." Isabelle waved goodbye as Shulk activate his golden plate and teleported away from the Mansion.
Colony 9
Shulk and co. arrived at their destination, however instead of strolling through the Colony peacefully the place is in chaos as Mechons wreaking havoc on the place.
"What the ! Mechons ! They're attacking the Colony !" Exclaimed Shulk as he and the others run inside.
The Colony is in chaos as people are running away from the incoming Mechons, with the Defense force staying to fight.
"We have to help them !" Exclaimed Lilith.
"Corrin, Lilith, Kana, lend strength, get rid of this Mechons, transform if you have to !" Exclaimed Shulk. "I'll put in a good word for the people later after we saved them."
"Understand, their safety comes first, their reaction of seeing us transform second." Corrin and Kana unsheathed their sword, ready for a fight, and then...
"What happened ?" Shulk checking his pants to see Charizards pokeball is shaking, and then Charizard got out from the pokeball as it forced itself out.
Charizard then begin flying and burning nearby Mechons with it's fire breath, and heeding Mewtwo's request Charizard didn't hold back as the Mechons melted form being exposed to Charizard's flames.
"Well that's unexpected, but anyway we need to hurry and save all these people !" Corrin rally the others as they unsheath their weapons and begin going after the Mechons.
"Mechons body are very hard ! Melee weapons have little effect on them unless it's specifically made to destroy Mechons, however they have no resistance against ether based attacks !" Explained Shulk as he struck down Mechons one after another with the Monado.
"Don't know about ether but, my magic should come in handy then." Said Veronica.
"Well now the time to test that thepry, several of them coming at us !" Corrin pointed at 5 Mechons headed toward the heroes.
Veronica cast Kaboom spell at the Mechons, the explosions destroyed them all. "Well guess that answers that question."
"Another one incoming !" Exclaimed Lilith.
"Leave those guys to me !" Corrin readied his Omega Yato and begin tearing through the Mechons. "Looks like the Yato works well against these guys too."
The heroes saw two people got chased by a Mechon, one of them fell to the ground as the Mechon move even closer.
The man begging not to be killed. "No ! Please !" As the heroes about to rescue the two civilians, someone else destroyed the Mechon.
"Quick ! Get to safety !" Ordered the man who destroyed the Mechon.
"Y-yes, thank you." The civilians do what he said as they keep on moving.
"Reyn !" Exclaimed Shulk, happy to see his best friend.
"Shulk !? When did you get back ?" Reyn surprised by Shulk's unexpected return.
"Just now, what happened here ? The Mechons, they're..." Asked Shulk.
"Not sure, earlier they all came here without warning and begin attacking us." Reyn then noticed the people around Shulk. "Shulk ? Who are these people ?"
"They're my friends from another world, but introductions can wait, we need to stop the Mechons first." Said Shulk.
"Yeah, but I should tell you, there's also a strange Mechon I've never seen before, it has four legs, carrying a sword and can fire a laser beam, it also have a crossbow on one of it's arms." Explained Reyn.
("Huh ? That descriptions oddly familiar ?") Veronica seemed to notice something.
"Reyn, where's Fiora ?" Asked Shulk worried.
"She's at her house...Shulk I just remembered, I don't know if I'm seeing things or not, but I saw Metal Face headed there, I tried to go after him, but I was occupied with the Mechons here." Said Reyn.
"Metal Face !? No...I mean I should've seen this coming, Reyn I need to go to see Fiora, you go deal with the Mechons here, my friends and I will handle this." Assured Shulk.
"Right, although there's one more thing, I also saw an orange dragon, the dragon melted all the mochins with it's fiery breath, and didn't attack us, that dragon is now headed to Dunban's house as well." Stated Reyn.
"Orange dragon ? Could it be Charizard ?" Asked Kana.
Reyn looked at Kana and wished to protect her. "Hey little girl, it's not safe here, I should take you to a shelter, you should stay there, it's much safer there than here." Reyn offered Kana to stay at the shelter..
"Thank you mister, but I can fight, just watch." Replied Kana.
Soon after, the heroes got surrounded by Mechons, however one of them looked different, it's matching the description Reyn made.
"I knew it ! It's a Killing Machine !" Exclaimed Veronica as everyone voiced their surprise.
"You recognize one of them Veronica ?" Asked Shulk.
"Yes, it's a monster from Erdrea, it's not a Mechon so it shouldn't be too hard to destroy it." Explained Veronica. "Just watch out for it's laser and crossbow."
"There's too many of them, breaking through isn't going to be easy !" Stated Reyn.
"Then I believe it's time for us to act, ready Kana ?" Asked Lilith.
"Ready aunt Lilith !" Kana and Lilith transform into their dragon form as Kana shoot water bullets at the Mechons while Lilith using her Astral Breath, Veronica also follow up using her Kaboom spell, destroying all the mechanical menaces.
Reyn's jaw dropped after seeing Kana and Lilith transformation. "Shulk...what are...?"
"It's a long story." Remarked Shulk.
"Shulk we handle all these Mechons, you go and get your girlfriend !" Exclaimed Veronica.
"Right ! Reyn guide them around the Colony, I need to go get Fiora !" Stated Shulk.
"Got it ! Everyone this way ! There are more Mechons over there !" Reyn then guide the girls to where the remaining Mechons are.
Corrin then transformed into his dragon form, shocking Reyn once again. "Shulk hop on to me, it'll be faster travelling through the skies."
"Okay !" Corrin lie down as Shulk hop and sit on Corrin, he stand up again and flapped his wings and begin lift off the ground.
Dunban's House - Outside
A few minutes earlier...
"Haah..haah..how are you still alive ?" Dunban's right arm is bleeding, as his left hand is clutching his right arm.
Facing him is a large black robot possessing sharp claws and a white faceplate. "That is not any of your concern, as much as I want to kill you right here and now it's your sister I'm after !"
"I don't know what you want with Fiora, but as long as this body still stand I won't let you get anywhere near her Mumkhar !" Dunban point his sword at the robot.
"Hahahaha ! What can you do with a weak, damaged body like that, very well then, since you insist you'll be the first to die Dunban !" Metal Face raised his right arm and attempts to thrust his claw into Dunban, as Dunban braced himself for the worst, Charizard arrived to the scene, crossing it's arms and used Dragon Claw, a draconic energy formed in the shape of large claws, and Charizard used it to block Metal Face attack.
"What the !" Both Dunban and Metal Face voiced their surprise that a dragon appeared from out of nowhere and block Metal Face's attack, the two are locked in a stalemate.
Charizard was able to push Metal Face away, breaking the stalemate.
Metal Face take a few steps back from the impact. "Guh..I don't know who or what you are, but animals should stay away from this !" Metal Face then charged towards Charizard and thrust his claws, Charizard replied by using Dragon Claw again, blocking every strikes, successfully defending itself from Metal Face's attacks.
("What is this thing ? It's like this thing know my every move ?") Metal Face is confused as how Charizard able to counter his every move. ("Calm down Mumkhar, I can't get distracted, I still have to focus on my real target.") Metal Face then decided to use the cannon on top of his head to bypass Charizard and go straight to destroying Dunban's house.
"I'm gonna kill you both with this !" As the cannon charging energy Charizard used Smokescreen, it unleashed a black smoke from it's mouth and aimed it toward Metal Face...well face, obscuring his vision. "Hey ! What is this !? I can't see what's in front of me !"
Charizard about to use Flamethrower to melt the cannon above Metal Face head, but then...Shulk arrived with Corrin as the Valla King rammed the psychopathic robot, Metal Face falls to the ground and ended up shooting at the sky instead, completely missing his target.
"What ! Shulk !" Exclaimed Dunban.
"Dunban ! I'm back, and you're bleeding !" Shulk looked at Dunban's arm. "You need to get treated, the three of us will deal with Metal Face !"
"Alright, I'll leave him to you, although I'm gonna have to ask a lot of questions later." Dunban looking at Corrin in his dragon form as he returned to his house.
"Thanks for holding the fort Charizard, now let's take him down !" Declared Shulk as he, Corrin, and Charizard stand before Metal Face.
Metal Face struggled to get up as he saw the 3 heroes in front of him. "So you're back Monado Boy, and those dragons are with you ?" Metal Face pointed at Corrin and Charizard.
"That they are, and the three of us will take you down !" Exclaimed Shulk.
"Don't get cocky boy, and why aren't you surprised I'm back !?" Asked Metal Face.
"I don't see why it matters, we beat you once, we'll do it again !" Retorted Shulk.
"Shulk hop on to me ! I'm sure you'll able to hit him easily riding on my back." Offered Corrin.
Shulk then hopped on to Corrin's back as the Valla King fired a water bullet at Metal Face.
"Gaah !" Metal Face got hit by the water bullet as he used his shield his face. "One dragon is pesky enough, but two !? No more toying around !"
Metal Face readied his claw again and about to thrust it towards Corrin only for him to fly upwards to avoid the attack, Charizard followed by using Smokescreen to obscure Metal Face vision again.
"Grrraaaghhh ! Enough with this already !" Metal Face charged the cannon above his head, but this time Charizard successfully used Flamethrower and melt the cannon on Metal Face head.
"What the !? My cannon !? Something is wrong with the cannon !" Metal Face cannon function completely shutting down following the damage caused by Charizard's fire.
Corrin then fly towards Metal Face and slashed his back with the Monado, Charizard then slashed his face with Dragon Claw, followed by Corrin rammed at Metal Face with his horn, causing the faced Mechons to fall to the ground.
"Gaah ! How are they able to hurt me !? Those dragons even able to hurt me without the Monado ! And more It's like they know all my movements !? (I can't kill Dunban's sister with these three in my way not to mention my cannon is somehow losing function as well...I have no choice I must retreat for now.") Metal Face transform into it's jet form and fly away.
"With those damages I don't think he will be back anytime soon, let's go inside the house." Shulk guide the heroes inside Dunban's house as Corrin revert to his human form.
Dunban's House
"We're coming in." Shulk enters the house alongside Corrin and Charizard. "You okay Dunban ?"
"Just fine Shulk, just a scratch." Shulk saw Dunban already patch himself up with first aid kit.
"Nice try, we're going to get you treated later, anyway let me introduce you, this is Dunban he was known as the Hero of the Valley during a Mechons invasion long time ago, and he's also Fiora's brother." Shulk introduced Dunban to the others.
"Girlfriend's brother huh ? Hope he's not giving you a hard time." Snickered Corrin.
"He's not, Dunban doesn't oppose me and Fiora getting together, anyway Dunban here are my friends from other worlds, this is Charizard, and this is Corrin, a king from Kingdom of Valla." Shulk introduced his friends to Dunban.
"Wait !? A king ! Oh umm...should I now my head or something ?" Dunban looked very flustered.
"Don't worry there's no need for formality, I'd rather we talk normally." Assured Corrin.
"And uhh...nice to meet you too Mr. Dragon ? It is a Mr. right ? Dunban pointed at Charizard.
"Yes it's trainer confirmed this ones a male." Answered Shulk. "Anyway Dunban where's Fiora ? Reyn said she'd be here.
"She was, but when Mumkhar arrived here I told Fiora to leave the house to get to safety, well to where Sharla is, she's tending the wounded from Mechon attacks." Explained Dunban. "She should be at the commercial district shelter."
"Got it, thanks Dunban we're going there immediately." Shulk heading out immediately.
"Wait Shulk ! Do you know what's going on here ? How did Metal Face...Mumkhar is back ? We all saw him fall and him being impaled, he can't possibly survived that !" Dunban grabbed Shulk's arm. "I know you told us about your otherworldly adventures, but does this have anything to do with that ?"
"Unfortunately it is, our fallen enemies are bound by evil magic, and used as pawns to stop us, I've encountered several of my friends enemies who are back from the dead, and I'm not surprised if the same happened to our enemies as well." Answered Shulk.
"Okay I get it, I still have more questions, but that can wait, go now and finish those Mechons first." Dunban let go of his grip as the heroes left the house and head to the Commercial District.
Colony 9 - Commercial District
"There's more Mechons in this area !" Exclaimed Reyn.
"Don't worry, we'll dispatched more of them." Veronica blasting several Mechons by swinging fireballs left and right.
"Aaaahh !" The heroes heard a scream and it came from a soldier, who is trapped and about to be devoured by a Mechon.
"That guy is trapped." Pointed Lilith.
"Not for long he won't." Kana charged towards the Mechon as she then turned around and swings her tail, smacking the Mechon away with her tail, Lilith followed by using Astral Breath to destroy the Mechon.
Reyn reached out to his comrade and freed him. "I got the rubbles out, can you walk ?" Asked Reyn.
"Yeah, thanks Reyn, but I guess I'm out of commission for the time being." Said the soldier.
"Where's the others ? And squaretache ?" Reyn asking about the rest of the Defense Force.
"We were nearly overrun, but luckily there's an orange dragon burning many of those Mechons, helping us turning the tables, but we also saw many Mechons we never seen before, I wouldn't call them strong or anything, but we don't know what they're capable of, so we got caught off guard, no one's died yet, and I hope we all make it out alive."
"Yeah, you and me buddy." As Reyn about to help the soldier he saw dragon Kana.
"A..aa..aa.a large Dragon !" The soldier pass out seeing Kana in her dragon form.
"Pretty weak hearted for a soldier, in my world dragons like Kana are pretty much everywhere." Responded Veronica.
"I'll take him to the shelter, can you girls deal with the rest ? I'll catch up with you after I'm done." Reyn carrying his comrade over his shoulder.
"Leave it to us Mr. Reyn, we will get rid of these mechanical menaces." Assured Lilith as the girls leave to find more Mechons.
As the girls continue with their search they saw a group of soldiers fighting Mechons, with the soldiers doesn't seem to be on the winning side.
"There's no end of them ! The more we destroy the more they show up !"
"Quit your whining maggot ! Keep fighting ! Or why are you even on the Force in the first place !" The soldier is being yelled by his leader who's distinctive feature is his red standing mustache.
"The soldiers seems to be in trouble, let's back them up." Said Veronica as the girls headed towards the scene of the fighting.
Veronica cast Kaboom at the Mechons, Lilith firing a stream of Astral Breath at the Mechons, while Kana stomping over the Mechons.
"Sorry for butting in, but please let us help." Veronica wanting to offer her assistance.
"Wow thanks you saved us." Thanked the soldier feeling relieved.
"You idiot ! Easily outdone by a girl ! Looks like I have to triple your training once this is over ! The name's Colonel Vangarre, I accept your help little girl, hopefully you can show this maggots how to get things done !" The Colonel insulting his subordinate.
"Right ..Kana, Lilith, combine your powers with me and let's destroy those horde in one fell swoop !" Kana and Lilith nodded as Kana fired off Torrential Shot, Lilith using Astral Breath, and Veronica concentrate her magic power and fire a beam of magic, combined with Kana and Lilith's attack the three beams combined into one powerful beam and completely obliterate the incoming Mechons.
Vangarre and his men jaw dropped at the display of power the girls just show, the Mechon horde in front completely reduced to scrap metals.
"Yay we did it !" Kana and Lilith revert to their human form and rejoice in their victory.
"Wait those dragons are just little girls ?" The soldiers are dumbfounded after seeing Kana and Lilith transformation.
"Yep, I'm tripling all of your exercise." Remarked Vangarre.
However it's too early to celebrate as a voice can be heard amidst the dust clouds. "That was some blast, not even these Mechons can withstand it, looks like I've got myself a formidable opponent." As the dust clouds dissipate a figure appeared in front of the heroes, he's a purple robot with a cannon attached in his shoulder.
"Okay listen up ! Which one of you responsible for destroying my Mechons !?" Demanded the purple robot
Veronica whispers to Lilith and Kana. "This one can talk, he's got to be their leader."
"Then we have to fight him now ?" Asked Kana.
"Maybe, but we likely have to." Answered Veronica.
"When you want to do something right you have to do it yourself." The robot charging his shoulder cannon, seeing this Veronica is casting a barrier to protect everyone from the incoming blast, but before the robot is ready to fire, a figure steps in and somersault the cannon, caught off guard,.the robot fired the beam upwards missing his intended target.
"Graah..I missed ! Who dare gets in my way !" The robot looked at the figure who interrupt him.
"I won't let you destroy my home Vile !" Declared Fiora as she's holding twin knives, ready to fight if she have to.
"You got guts for interrupting me little girl, but don't think you...wait ? Did you just call me by my name ? Have we met somewhere before ?" Vile is confused as how Fiora know who he is.
"Did you forget ? Is the word golden chains ring any bells to you ?" Asked Fiora.
"Golden chains...could it be !?" Vile begin scanning Fiora and that's when he finally realize. "You ! You're one of X's companions ! You look very different than the last time I see you, you're fully organic now."
"My body's recovered, I'm back to who I used to be." Stated Fiora.
"You're a fool to discard your mechanical parts, but nevermind, now that you're fully organic you would make an easier opponent compare to last time we fought, and now prepare to die !" Vile is ready for a fight as he looks going for the kill.
"We have to help that girl !" Exclaimed Kana.
"That's obvious, let's go !" Veronica rallied both Kana and Lilith to save Fiora.
"C'mon men ! There's just one of him and lots of us ! Get that robot !" Colonel Vangarre also lead his men against Vile.
"The odds are against you Vile, you're outnumbered, and your minions are all scrap metals." Fiora taunting Vile as he looked around his surroundings.
"You think I'm scared over mere humans !? I'll drench this city in blood and there's nothing you can do to stop me !" Vile threatened to massacre the population of Colony 9.
"Oh, not scared of humans are you ? What about a dragon !" Kana transform into her dragon form again, shocking Vile as he sees Kana towering over him.
And at that moment everyone saw Metal Face in his jet form flying away from the Colony.
"He's gone, guess it's my cue to leave as well." Grumbled Vile. "And I thought this was supposed to be an easy mission, it's the fault of that accursed orange dragon for melting my Ride Armor and my minions !"
"Vile, just what is you're after here attacking the Colony !?" Fiora demanding to know.
"Since it won't matter if you know I don't mind answering, our mission here is to kill you." Vile's answer shocks Fiora. "I could kill you now, but I'm not in the mood for a repair as I know I'll be beaten to a pulp with the odds stacked against me, even I know killing you now will be detrimental for me with so many enemies around me, and so it seems you get to live for another day."
"You Vile is it ? Where did you get those Killing Machines !" Veronica demanded to know.
"How did you ? Are you from the same world as those robots ?" Asked Vile.
"Just answer the question, was it Mordegon ? Or Calasmos who provided you with the Killing Machines !?" Veronica keep pressing on.
"Who knows, maybe you'll find out if you're able to survive long enough, I'm out of here !" Vile grabbed his black plate and teleported away.
"They retreated, that means we won !" Exclaimed the soldier.
"Not so fast you maggot ! That performance was very pathetic ! I'm going to start your training right away ! Now get to it !" Yelled the Colonel much to the soldiers chagrin.
Soon after Shulk arrived riding Corrin with Charizard following. "Fiora there you are." Shulk get down from Corrin and approached his girlfriend.
"Fiora ? So you're Fiora ?" Asked Veronica.
"Yes I am, how do you know me ? Are you one of Shulk's friends ?" Asked Fiora.
"Yes, nice to meet you my name is Veronica, you know I admit you're pretty no wonder Shulk is heads over heels for you." Fiora and Shulk's blushing heavily as the others laugh at their predicament.
"Oh man she got you two good !" Reyn finally appeared, already back from helping his friend.
"Uhh...well...anyway I'm glad you're safe, Dunban said you'd be at the shelter, I was worried when Metal Face attack." Said Shulk.
"Yeah, brother made me go to the shelter when Metal Face arrived, but on the way to the shelter I saw a familiar figure leading the Mechons." Explained Fiora. "Why don't we get back to my house first, we can talk there." And with that the heroes went back to Dunban's house.
Dunban's House
The heroes return to Dunban's house and continue their discussion.
"So that purple robot Vile is the one you've met during your world hopping adventure ?" Asked Reyn.
"Yeah, although he looks slightly different than when I saw him the last time, maybe X would know more, I wonder how he's doing ?" Pondered Fiora.
"That aside I'm even more surprised seeing people transform into dragons." Reyn looking at Kana and Corrin.
"We're what you call Manaketes, we can transform into dragons." Explained Corrin.
"It shocks me too when I first met Corrin." Remarked Shulk.
"Hahah I still remember the look on your face when I transformed in front of everyone." Teased Corrin.
"Well Shulk you really got yourself strange new friends in that tournament of yours." Teased Dunban.
"Master Hand and Crazy Hand are the ones who chose who gets invited to the tournament, and I've seen my fair share of incredibly strong people there." Stated Shulk.
"I can say the the people I'm travelling with before." Said Fiora.
"After everything we went through to defeat Zanza naturally you should be qualified to join that strange tournament !" Exclaimed Reyn.
"So Shulk what brings you back ? It doesn't seem like your mission is over ?" Asked Dunban.
"It's not over yet unfortunately, I'm here because I wanted to ask for Fiora's help." Answered Shulk.
"Me ?" Fiora sounds counds confused. "Well if there's anything I can do I would like to help, what do I need to do ?."
"I want you to go to Alrest." Fiora is shocked by Shulk's answer.
"To Alrest ? But isn't it impossible to go there for us ?" Fiora remember the last time with Nopon Archsage that she and Shulk unable to physically entered Alrest.
"Maybe, but I wonder if things will be different if we entered Alrest through the World of Trophy, or maybe with this to be exact." Shulk showed everyone his golden plate. "This device is built by the gods to make our mission easier, maybe it would allow us to enter Alrest this time."
"Okay, even if that's true what are you looking for in Alrest ?" Asked Reyn.
"According to a friend of ours, one of the pieces of Beanstar is located in Alrest, a Beanstar is a device that have the power to grant wishes, and we can't let the enemy get their hands on it." Explained Shulk. "Since Fiora and I technically been to Alrest before I'd like her to guide my companions around the place."
"Well I do like to help, and besides a device that can grant wishes, that sounds like something from a fairy tale." Remarked Fiora.
"Only in the right hand something like that can bring miracle, I wish I could help, but I need to return the Telethia back to Bionis Shoulder." Explained Shulk. "I need to go and see Melia first."
"The Telethia ? You know I do wonder why we rarely see any of them around." Dunban stroking his chin.
"This Telethias arrived in my world when that light appeared, I wonder if my castle is sent to the same place where those Telethias are ?" Pondered Corrin.
"Right, let introduce you, this is Corrin." Shulk then introduce Corrin and co. to Reyn and Fiora. "He's a king of the Kingdom of Valla, he's also Kana's father and Lilith's brother."
"Before you bow, there's no need for formality, I'd rather we speak as equals, besides this isn't Valla, I have no territory to rule in Bionis." Interjected Corrin.
"And look Dunban, let me give you this." Shulk give Dunban his golden plate. "Call me if there's anything happened here, we'll try to dispatch anyone available should there's a problem here." Shulk then instructs Dunban how to use the golden plate.
"Right I think I got the hang of it, I'll be sure to give you a call in case there's a problem here." Said Dunban.
"What about you Reyn ? Colonel vow to triple everyone's training after today's incident you know." Teased Fiora.
"I'm sure he won't remember I'm there, I'm just gonna help Sharla with tending the wounded for the time being, someone got to defend the place while Shulk and Fiora away from here right ? Oh and Dunban I think it's best if you have Sharla treat your injuries."
"Yeah I think I'll take you up on your offer." Dunban stand up and agreed to get treated.
"Well guess it's time to go, Fiora I'm going to send you to the Mansion first, then you will go to Alrest with my companions." Explained Shulk.
"Okay, it would be nice to see Chrom and Lucina again." Smiled Fiora.
"I already ask her to be on standby so at least you would see a familiar face, oh and by the way Ryu and Ken are also at the Mansion as well." Continued Shulk.
"Those two ? Wow who knew I got to see Ryu and Ken again, it's like a reunion." Fiora claims excitedly.
As Shulk gave his golden plate away Corrin used his to teleport Fiora back to Smash Mansion.
"Well be heading to the shelter now." Reyn and Dunban then leave the house to head to the shelter.
"Well let's go then, how should we go to our destination ?" Asked Corrin.
"Lend me your golden plate Corrin, I'll teleport us straight away to Alcamoth." Corrin give Shulk his golden plate, and Shulk used it to teleport everyone to Alcamoth.
Alcamoth - Entrance
The heroes finally arrived at Alcamoth, as they head further in Corrin, Kana, Lilith, and Veronica in awe by its technologically advanced appearance.
"Here we are, this is Alcamoth the home of the High Entia." Shulk turned to his companions and spread his arms, telling them their current location.
"This place is amazing it's like nothing I've ever seen before." Commented Corrin.
"I should let you know, because of it's advanced technology Alcamoth is a city floating in the air." Explained Shulk.
"Well, Valla isn't any different, although I doubt it's from advanced technology, maybe because of magic, or maybe from Valla's geography ?" Pondered Corrin.
"You know for a huge city there aren't many people here." Commented Kana seeing the city seems to only have few people.
"Yeah, Zanza reverted all the pure blooded High Entia into Telethia, the ones you see here are half blood, meaning they're descendants of Homs and High Entia who married one another." Explained Shulk.
"I see, you know their case aren't so different from dragons in our world, in order to protect ourself from degeneration, dragons have to assume human form and sealed our power in a dragon stone to prevent us from going insane and violent." Remarked Lilith.
"At least there's a way out for you, the pureblooded High Entia doesn't have that, so we have no choice but to kill them, but look were not here for that dreary talk, now that the Telethias are free from Zanza's control we don't have to fight them anymore, now let us go to the palace." Shulk led everyone to the castle.
Imperial Palace - Audience Chamber
Shulk and co. arrived at the Audience Chamber, they continue walking until arriving at the center of the chamber where they saw a young girl standing at the middle, surrounded by an orange crystal like wall, she has a grey and curled up hair,.but her most stroking feature is the wing like object in her head.
"Good afternoon your majesty." Shulk teasingly bowed before the empress.
"*Chuckles* C'mon Shulk you always do this whenever you came to visit." The young girl playing along with Shulk's sense of humor.
"It's been a while Melia." Said Shulk.
"It's sure has Shulk." Melia then noticed the people behind Shulk. "Are those people with you ? They look unusual."
"Yeah, it's a long story, but first I'm here about the Telethias." Shulk went straight to the point.
"Unfortunately we still haven't made any progress, we look everywhere on Bionis and Mechonis and yet we still haven't find any of the missing Telethias." Sighed Melia.
"What if we're to tell you that we found those missing Telethias." Hearing this, Melia's full attention fully focused on Shulk.
"What do you mean by that Shulk ? Did you actually find them ?" Asked Melia getting curious by what Shulk meant.
"Yes we do, and we would like to bring them here, why don't we do it at the Sky Terrace ?" Asked Shulk.
Trusting Shulk Melia then lead the others to the Sky Terrace.
Alcamoth - Sky Terrace
"Here we are the Sky Terrace." The heroes arrived at the destined location.
"Wow we're so high up ! The view is breathtaking !" Exclaimed Kana in awed by the view from where she is.
"Before we start, maybe an introduction is in order, everyone this is Melia, the current empress of Alcamoth." Shulk introduced Melia to the others.
"And Melia, these are my companions from another world, this is Corrin, Kana, Lilith, Charizard, and Veronica." Now Shulk introduced his companions to Melia.
"I see, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, a friend of Shulk is always welcome here." Melia give off a warm smile at the heroes. "Alright Shulk, we're here, now what ?"
"Yeah, let's get to it then, Lilith." Shulk turned to Lilith as she transformed into her dragon form.
"What the !?" Melia is shocked seeing Lilith transformed.
"I'm releasing all the Telethias inside my pocket dimension." And so Lilith used her power, a bright light emanate from the orb that she carries and as the light fades all the Telethias roam the skies once again.
"These ? These are ?" Melia is in shock as the empty skies of Alcamoth are now full of Telethias flying above the capital.
"The Telethias got sent to another world because of that light, that's why your search end up fruitless, but they're back now." Shulk looked at the skies.
Because of the Telethias return, Alcamoth is in uproar, the citizens rejoicing seeing their possible friends or families back again.
A footsteps can be heard heading to the Sky Terrace, and sounded like people running, the two High Entias arrived at the Sky Terrace and she is an adult woman with a long ponytail, and the other one looks like a little boy.
"Tyrea ? Teelan ? Did you run all the way here ?" Asked Melia.
"*Huff huff* what do you think !? News about the Telethia's return spread so fast i have to came look for ourselves !" Tyrea then look at Lilith. "What is that thing ?"
Lilith then transformed back into her human form, which makes Tyrea think she's hallucinating. "What was I just saw ? I must be working too much."
"Wow that's incredible ! How did you do that." Teelan on the other hand amazed at what he saw.
"Everyone, this is Tyrea, she's...a sister of sorts to Melia, it's complicated." Said Shulk awkwardly. "And this is Teelan, both of them are the palace scientist."
"Trust me Shulk, when it comes to complicated family relationship, I've been there." Remarked Corrin.
"You're not hallucinating Tyrea, these are Shulk's friends from another world, and they have...strange powers." Explained Melia.
"Right, I see, I still need some rest though." Said Tyrea putting her hand on her forehead.
"Just take things slowly, your research won't go anywhere." Smiled Melia.
"Right, I'll take you up on that.." Tyrea then left the Sky Terrace to take a break.
"You got to show me how you did that ! But well I guess I see you later !" Teelan also left the Sky Terrace.
"Things have been hard ever since the Telethias suddenly disappeared." Explained Melia.
"I guess it would, after all this is their friends and families, anyone would be worried if they disappeared without warning." Replied Shulk. "By the way Melia, apart from the Telethias disappearance, does anything else unusual happened around here, like maybe a castle showed up out of nowhere ?"
"Wait !? How did you know that ? Something like that did happen, take a look over there." Melia point out from the Sky Terrace that there's a castle located on Bionis Shoulder.
Looking at the castle Corrin's eyes turned wide as he recognize the castle. "That's Gyges Castle ! That's my castle !"
"Your castle ?" Asked a surprised Melia.
"Yes, there's no doubt about it, that's my castle, you see I'm a king of a kingdom called Valla, my castle disappeared and at the same time these Telethias appeared in my world." Explained Corrin.
"It looks like switching places, the Telethia's got sent to Valla while Corrin's castle got sent here." Stated Shulk.
"What about the inhabitants !? Is there anyone inside !" Corrin is deadly curious as he invade Melia's personal space.
"Y-yes actually, things get rocky at first, but we managed to get an understanding." Answered Melia as Corrin slowly back away.
"How rocky ? There weren't any fighting was there ?" Asked Corrin curious.
"In hindsight sending Maxis might have been a mistake, a castle suddenly appear out of nowhere and I decided to send the imperial guards to look around the building, a misunderstanding happens from the castle inhabitants." Sighed Melia.
"What happened in there ?" Asked Shulk.
"Well they said they encounter two women, dressed like maids somehow able to generate ice, they summoned a blizzard inside the castle, some of the soldiers are suffering from frostbites as a result." Answered Melia.
"Women who generates ice, and dressed like maids, that's got to be Felicia and Flora !" Exclaimed Corrin.
"Oh Corrin right, since you are the king of that castle, I guess the people inside are your servants right ?" Asked Melia.
"Well technically yes, but to me they're more than mere servants." Answered Corrin. "Especially Felicia."
"Melia can you take us there ? I'm sure the castle inhabitants would be happy to see Corrin again." Asked Shulk.
"Of course, I shall show you the way." Melia agrees to accompany the heroes to Gyges Castle as the heroes left the Sky Terrace.
Audience Chamber
On the way to the lower floor, and elderly High Entia walked by and spoke to Melia. "Good afternoon your majesty, are you going somewhere ?"
"I won't be long Maxis, I'm only going to the recently appeared castle that's all." Answered Melia. "Also there's no need to search for the Telethia's anymore, they're all back now."
"I've seen them flying around the city, it was surprising that they're all finally back." Remarked Maxis. "How or when did it happen ?"
"It's a long story Maxis, but what's important is the Telethia's are back." Replied Shulk.
"Good afternoon to you too master Shulk, I take it you're going to that castle as well ?" Asked Maxis.
"We are, I heard from Melia things are...rocky at first ?" Asked Shulk.
"Yes, the maids attacked us with ice, and not to mention there's that sharp tongued butler." Sighed Maxis.
"I would like to apologize for my...servants behavior on their behalf." Corrin bowed his head in front of Maxis.
"Servants ? Does that mean ?"
"Yes, my name is Corrin, and I'm the king of that castle." Corrin revealing his status.
"A king you say ? Then I..." Maxis about to kneel down, but Corrin stop him. "There's no need for formalities, I'm sure my...servants are just confused as to what happened to them, being sent to a different world without warning." Answered Corrin.
"You said something about a sharp tongued butler, that must be Jakob." Said Lilith.
"Yes, that is his name." Confirmed Maxis.
"Look, I'll apologize if Jakob is being rude, he's often like this to pretty much everyone." Sighed Corrin.
"Don't worry, he didn't said things too far, after we all calm down and listen to each other side, the animosity died down." Explained Maxis. "We even offer to let them stay in Alcamoth, but seeing their castle is still intact, I suppose there's no need to leave, but they do came to visit from time to time."
"I see so they visited Alcamoth, they don't cause any trouble do they ?" Asked Corrin.
"No, not really, although when we went to visit the castle, that butler and his son arguing about who's coffee is best." Said Maxis.
"I see Jakob still competing with Dwyer about coffee making." Remarked Corrin.
"That they do, those two even came here once and competing who can sell the most coffee, and the younger butler won, they say this is another opportunity to show off their coffee making skill to people in another world." Continued Maxis.
"Well that's a sight to behold, now I'm getting interested in meeting these butlers of yours." Smirked Veronica.
"Hopefully Jakob and Dwyer didn't cause anymore trouble." Sighed Corrin.
"Well be leaving now Maxis, please watch over the city until we get back." Said Melia.
"Yes, of course your majesty, I'll be sure to watch over the city in your absence." Entrusting Maxis with the city, the heroes left Alcamoth to head to Gyges Castle.
Soltnar Seal Island
Now leaving Alcamoth, the heroes walked on a set of floating islands.
"It's amazing that there's floating islands in here and not just Valla." Corrin commented on the floating islands.
There are several theories as how these lsands float, but we're not here to talk about that, so Melia, where's exactly the castle located ?" Asked Shulk.
"It's at Agni Skygarden Ruins, we need to walk through the Old King's Testament first to get there." Answered Melia.
"Or, we could fly over it ?" Corrin transformed into a dragon.
"*Gasp*" Melia is shocked seeing Corrin transforms right in front of her.
"Or we could just teleport with the golden plate, can I borrow yours again Corrin ?" Corrin then revert back to his human form and lend Shulk his golden plate. Shulk then teleport everyone to Agni Skygarden Ruins.
Agni Skygarden Ruins
The heroes arrived at the destined location, located above the Old King's Testament is the Skygarden Ruins, a beautiful plateau that may belong to the giants in ancient times, but now it's inhabited by monsters, furthermore a huge castle that wasn't here before now appear here.
"This is it ! It's my castle !" Exclaimed Corrin confirming that this is indeed Gyges Castle.
"We finally found our home !" Kana shouted in excitement.
"I'm glad you found your home." Melia happy for Corrin.
"Let's head inside !" Corrin then lead everyone inside the castle.
Gyges Castle - Foyer
The heroes went inside the castle only to find the foyer is empty.
"It sure is quiet in here." Commented Shulk. "Was it always like this ?"
"Well there weren't many people inside after all, Valla is relatively new nation, so the population is still fairly small." Answered Corrin. "Anyway let me try calling out to everyone."
Before Corrin opened his mouth a sound of arguing can be heard at the castle.
"You still complaining about this old man ? Why don't you just accept reality already." A younger butler with dishevelled appearance arrived at the foyer from the hallway
"What I accept is what happened last time was a fluke, which is why the real battle begins today !" Next to the young butler is an older butler with a long ited hair.
"In other words you're just being a sore loser as usual." Remarked the younger butler. "Whether at home, Askr, or even otherworlds, it's universally agreed that my coffee is the superior one."
"Go on keep on bragging, your pride will be your downfall, and everyone will know that mine is the best !" Boasted the older butler.
"Jakob, Dwyer I see you're still arguing on who's the best at making coffee I see, can you two give it a rest already ?" Asked Corrin nicely.
"No !" Shouted the two men not realizing that those two talking to their king.
"Father will have to accept reality and admit my coffee is the best !" Exclaimed Dwyer.
"And Dwyer have to admit his victories are nothing but luck !" Retorted Jakob.
"OUR PRIDE IS ON THE LINE SO STAY OUT OF IT !"Both father and son refuse to back down as they unknowingly yelled at Corrin.
"They really don't have respect for their king do they ?" Remarked Veronica seeing the two butlers attitude.
Finally realizing what just happened, much to their horror Jakob and Dwyer turned their head to see who they were yelling at.
"A-a-a-a Lord Corrin ! I'm truly sorry ! I have been a terrible butler !" Jakob quickly doown on his knees and apologize profusely to Corrin.
"I'm sorry too Lord Corrin ! I have failed you !" Dwyer also did the same thing as Jakob as both butlers begging on their knees for Corrin's forgiveness.
"Corrin is that you ?" A female voice can be heard further inside as two figures coming out from the hallway, two women dressed like maids approaching Corrin, one has a long pink hair, and the other have blue hair.
"Yes it's me, I' Felicia, Flora." The two maids then hugged Corrin as they both missed him, especially Felicia. "I'm sorry it took so long."
"We always believe you'll be back to us !" Felicia and Flora now let go of Corrin.
"I stand corrected I guess Corrin is really is adored by his servants." Veronica retracted her previous statement.
"Oh Kana, I miss you so much." Felicia hugged Kana. "I miss you too mama."
Hearing the word mama make the heroes are shocked as they all looked at Corrin. "Oh I haven't told you ? Felicia is my wife, although she always insisted on dressing like a maid."
"It's hard to let go of old habits, but yes my name is Felicia, and I'm the queen of Valla through my marriage with Corrin." Felicia introduced herself.
"Allow me to introduce the others, this is Flora, she's Felicia's sister, and this is my butler Jakob and his son Dwyer." Corrin introduced the castle staff to the heroes.
"Well it's nice to meet you, I'm Shulk, and this is Charizard and Veronica, we both are Corrin's friends from another world, well technically you're the one in my world now." Stated Shulk.
"Oh...hmph, as much as I hate to admit it, I suppose I am grateful for watching over our king in our absence." Jakob being sharp tongued as usual.
"Why can't you just admit you're truly grateful." Sighed Dwyer as he faced the heroes. "I'm truly sorry about my father, he clearly needs attitude adjustments."
"Okay watch it, I'm just saying like..." Before Jakob can finish his sentence Flora glare at him.
"Just be honest..already." Flora give a threatening smile to Jakob.
"Yes dear." Jakob quickly behaved as he faced the heroes again. "I thank you all for looking after our king."
"That's better." Smiled Flora. "And also you two need to stop competing over everything."
"Fine, I suppose we are being childish." Grumbled Jakob.
"By 'we' I'm pretty sure it's just you." Dwyer snarking his father.
"Do they always like this ?" Asked Melia commenting on Jakob and Dwyer's attitude.
"Sadly yeah." Replied Corrin.
"Ahem, if I may I'm glad you can share your coffee to our society, the people seems to like what you've made." Melia steps in.
"I'm glad you like it your majesty, we saw this as an opportunity to show our skills to other worlds." Boasted Jakob.
"Well Corrin, you found your castle, what will you do now ?" Asked Shulk.
"Well I'm taking my castle back to Valla, after that I'm going to reveal to everyone about what happened." Answered Corrin.
"I see, but we already give away our golden plates, we need to get more from the Mansion." Shulk remind Corrin that they don't have enough golden plates.
"Actually I brought spares, I got a feeling this might happen." Corrin showed 3 more golden plates to Shulk.
"Well that's great, here Melia, this one for you." Shulk picked up one of the golden plates and give it to Melia and took another one for himself. "Use this to contact us in case there's strange problems in Alcamoth."
"We'll do Shulk." Melia took the golden plate as Shulk instruct her on how to use the device.
"I'm going back to Valla, after that I will join you guys back at the Mansion." Said Corrin.
"So that means we're going home ?" Asked Felicia.
"Yes, it's time to go back home." Replied Shulk.
"Well before that, thank you for your hospitality your majesty, were truly sorry for what happened to your guards." Felicia bow down to Melia.
"Well father and I did heal them with our magic so, I believe we're forgiven already." Commented Dwyer.
"All is forgiven, I still thank you for the coffee stand the other day, too bad we won't get to enjoy it again." Said Melia.
"Who knows, maybe it won't be goodbye forever, maybe we'll meet again someday." Replied Shulk.
"Okay, then we will head back first, come on Melia, let's go back to Alcamoth, try to use the golden plate to send us back." Following Shulk's instruction Melia used the golden plate and send the heroes to Alcamoth, well just Shulk, Veronica, and Charizard.
"Well they're gone, so now it's our time to head back." Using the golden plate Corrin teleport the entire castle back to Valla.
In split second, Gyges Castle now returned to Valla after it got teleported to Bionis.
"We should be back now, let's go outside." Corrin led everyone outside the castle.
Valla
After stepping outside, Corrin and co. are welcomed to a familiar view as they saw an endless void filled with floating islands.
"Wow ! We're really back !?" Exclaimed Felicia glad that she's back home.
"Marvelous work as ever Lord Corrin, we've returned home." Complimented Jakob.
"So how did our castle ended up sent to other world in the first place ?" Asked Flora. "I mean there's that weird light, and once it faded we found ourselves in Bionis."
"Yeah, about that, let me explain everything." Corrin explain what he knows so far to his companions.
"So you believe that this world is targeted as well ?" Asked Dwyer.
"Unfortunately, and I don't know how far the enemy reach is, which is why in case I'm unavailable here I need you guys to inform me what's happening here so that at least the enemy won't be able to move around undetected." Explained Corrin.
"We understand, you can count on us Lord Corrin." Said Jakob.
"I know you will, anyway I also already give the golden plates to Xander and Ryoma, and so here Felicia, as queen and army commander I entrust you with this golden plate, I'm going to ask you to coordinate with Xander and Ryoma." Corrin give his last spare golden plate to Felicia.
"Y-yes, I won't let you down !" Exclaimed Felicia.
"Everyone lend your support to Felicia okay...you know I was thinking on leaving immediately but I'm sure they understand if I wanted to spent time with my family for a day, I really miss you all." Corrin decided to stay for a day instead of going back to the Mansion immediately. "I'm contacting Shulk to let him know I won't be back today."
Alcamoth Palace - Audience Chamber
Shulk received a call with Corrin's hologram appeared on the golden plate. "And so I won't be back today, I wanted to spent some time with my family first."
"Got it, you've been separated for quite a long time, I'll tell everyone you'll be back tomorrow." After that Corrin cut off communication.
"So Shulk, you're leaving now ?" Asked Melia.
"Yeah, sorry I can't stay for too long, since we already do what we need to do here there's no need for us to stay any longer, maybe I'll come visit again after this is all over." Shulk assuring Melia that he'll be back.
"Alright, we'll do what we can from here, we won't let our world be in danger." Melia promised Shulk as the Homs returned to the Mansion using the golden plate.
Done at last, sorry for the hiatus, I wasn't feeling well weeks ago so I can't post the chapter last month.
Vile will be in his original form, not his Mk II version.
The reason the heroes can take out Metal Face easily is because they had experience fighting him in Shulk's stage in the tournament.
I know Flora can't s support with Jakob, but I don't know who else to pair him with, so I'm going out of canon this time.
And yes, I'm pairing Corrin with Felicia.
Character debut : Killing Machine, Vile, Metal Face, Melia, Maxis, Tyrea, Teelan, Jakob, Felicia, Flora, Dwyer.
Boss battle : Metal Face
