(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Brodia, Kingdom of Might)
"Unbelievable. So you're all from another world? Like the Emblems?" Alcryst gasped.
"That's right. Our friends back in our own world disappeared, and this portal leading to Elyos is our only lead. And we found our that our friends are the Emblems." Renne explained.
"I see. So that explains the weapons you all carry. They're outlandish weapons. And..." Alcryst turn to Meowscarada, Goodra, Sylveon and Cloyster. "Those creatures you some of you brought out from those... ball things. They're what exactly?"
"Why they're Pokemon!" Nemona smiled
"Po...keymon?" Alcryst tilt his head.
"Pokemon are magical creatures with supernatural powers. They hail from our world. While they are very mysterious, they co-exist with humanity. Humans who want to train and help Pokemon grow stronger are called Pokemon Trainers." Renne explained.
"Magical creatures you say." Cirtinne rub her chin. "Yes. I've witnessed some power in each of them possesses. That beam of ice... that green energy sphere, including pink and sound produce wave. It's like magic... but at the same time, it's not. Almost like it's capable of harnessing powers."
"Yep." Florian smiled. "The move you saw Meowscarada use is called Energy Ball. It's a Grass-Type move where it channels the power of nature into a sphere."
"And my Sylveon uses Fairy Type moves. Moonblast and Disarming voice are one of them."
"Goodra is a Dragon Type." Nemona said.
"A-A Dragon?!" Alcryst gasped. "It's another Divine Dragon?!"
"No, no. It's not a Divine Dragon. It's a Dragon-Type."
"I'm confused..."
"Well, think of it as different types of dragons I guess." Arven fold his arms as he thinks. "But in the Pokemon world, there are 18 different types of Pokemon can be."
"It's going to be a long story. But the point is that Pokemon are creatures with incredible powers of the natural world." Renne explained
"And our Pokemon are really strong." Florian chuckled. "Right guys?"
"Meow/Sylv/Cloyster/Goodra!" Meowscarada, Sylveon, Cloyster and Goodra respond with a cheered.
"They're really strong? Well... we did witness their power so they do look rather strong." Lapis admit.
"Um...Tell me, what is your world like… if… you don't mind me asking." Alcryst asked
"Sure. we'll gladly tell you what we know." Musse smiled
"Um… If I can be interrupted. I also like to apologize for my behavior. I was no doubt being very rude to you all." Lapis bow in shame.
"It's water under the bridge, don't worry about it." Boucheron said with a smile.
"Thank you." Lapis said with a smile.
"I'm glad we all made It during dinner hour. I imagine you all must be starving after all that. I was hoping I get to know you all… but if what that Elusian princess said is true…" Citrinne said solemn.
"Yeah… all the more reason I'm worried…" Alcryst frowned. "Still. What is your world like?"
"Well, it has advanced technology for starters. But that aside… it's quite modern. We live in a nation called Erebonia. And that nation is located on a continent called Zemuria. Zemuria was a world that collides with many worlds." Musse explained
"Collide with many worlds?"
"Indeed. But first, let me explain about the juicy details about our world." Musse giggled as she explained what their world is like, as she explain about Orbal Energy and many nations.
"Wow… Incredible. Is it possible that I can see this world as well?" Alcryst asked
"Oh of course. You'll be our guests in fact. We know a good place that you'll love. The Mushroom Kingdom." Musse giggled.
"I was quite concerned why it's called a Kingdom of Mushrooms. But from what you explain… I'm quite curious. Do you think they'll accept our currency?" Citrinne asked.
"Yep. We have an international currency system to exchange your currency with another. Luckily, the Mushroom Kingdom and other continents accept your gold which is the very same money from Fodlan uses. You'll be surprised by the clothes we have as well."
"Hmm? Look." Alear pointed as they see Brodia castle from the distance.
"Ah, we're here. Brodia Castle." Alcryst said
"Damn. Look at those walls." Ash called out.
"It certainly earns the castle type. I can see the walls are built to withstand attacks." Venti comment.
"You're right. Those walls have existed since the beginning of Brodia. They kept us safe for as long as I can remember." Alcryst nodded. "This pathway leads directly to the castle where the border guards mostly watch." He said as he began to take them to the long bridge as they made their way, seeing so many border guards, greeting Alcryst, his retainers, and their guests. Soon they eventually made it to the castle grounds. "I don't see any Elusian soldiers. Thank goodness. The attack hasn't begun."
"And yet, there's someone at the gate." Kazuha said.
"Huh? Who's standing by the—Oh! It's Diamant!" Alcryst smiled with joy.
(BGM paused)
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - The Warrior Prince.)
Diamant, the Crown Prince Of Brodia made his appearance. He has red hair, red eyes and wearing and red armor. He approaches the group.
"I been waiting for you, Divine Ones. I greet you as the Crown Prince of Brodia. I'm Diamant." Diamant greeted as he smiled. "I've heard so much about you two. I'm honored to finally meet the legends in person."
(BGM ended)
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Mighty Governance)
"Whoa… this guy looks cool…" Juna whispered.
"I can see why he's the Crown Prince." Altina added
"Yeah. He kinda has that vibe as Bowser or Dimitri, and some of our other friends." Shez added.
"It's a pleasure, Prince Diamant." Alear smiled as he greeted him with a bow.
"And Prince Alfred, Princess Céline, and the rest of you, welcome. Wait..." Diamant blinked at the sight of the Pokemon. "Um... is that a... green cat?"
"Oh right, guess we should introduce to our other friends too." Alfred chuckled. "They can't speak our language but they're companions to our friends here." He referee to Florian, Penny, Arven and Nemona who waved at him.
"I... see... I'll admit, I never met anything like them. But welcome all of you. Queen Ève letter explained your situation. Thanks for coming all this way. It's good to see you." Diamant greeted.
"Likewise. I'm sorry it took a war for us to meet again after all this time." Alfred replied.
"Oh, and Alcryst, thanks for escorting our guests from the border. I know that's a rugged road."
"It was nothing, really?" Alcryst shook his head.
"Said the guy who nearly—Oof!" Ash was elbowed by Kurt and Venti.
"However, I bear ill news. Elusian forces attacked us at the Grand Crossing."
Diamant looks surprised. "Is that right?"
"A Battalion led by Princess Hortensia. We fought her off, but she said something troubling. The Crown Princess intends to assault Brodia Castle. If they're after our Emblem Rings, we may be on course for a dangerous confrontation."
"We'll have to prepare our defenses. Thanks for the warning, Alcryst. Come. Father will want to hear about this." Diamant said as he began to guide everyone elsewhere in the castle. "To be quite honest, I never thought that I would see the two of you again. It has been quite some time since I last saw you two. But you were asleep at that time."
"Yeah, we get that a lot. Still, thank you for taking your time for visiting us Prince Diamant." Alear smiled.
"But of course. Still, I'm sorry that you have to go through troubles back in the Grand Crossing. I'll have to look into how they managed to sneak through our border guards."
"Well, at least we dealt with them. That's for sure." Venti said. "So where are we going, Prince Diamant?"
"We'll be heading to the castle throne room. From there, Father should be there. If not. I had a feeling he'll be training in the training ground. Which is most likely a good bet." Diamant sighed.
"Considering that this is the Kingdom of Might, it makes sense that the king himself would like to train." Renne said.
"No doubt about it. Strength is valued here in the Kingdom. Which is why it's known as the Kingdom of Might."
"But considering that this place is who mountain blah blah blah. You guys are rich with resources with ore don'tcha?" Ash asked.
"Indeed. We forge many armor and weapons here in Brodia. As well as— Ah." Diamant then notices a man approaching him.
The man was wearing Gray armor with an accented golden trim and red cape, complete with a crown on his head
"Ah, Diamant. I see you're welcoming our guests with some lectures." The man said.
"I'm sure that many of them are interested in learning about Brodia's culture Father." Diamant said. "But never mind that. Why are you out here?"
"What do you mean why am I out here? Is it also so wrong of me to welcome our guests as well?" Morion grumbled before seeing Alcryst. "Alcryst, my boy! Welcome home! Well done on welcoming our very important guests to our kingdom."
"I-It was nothing, Father. I'm happy to do service for my home." Alcryst muttered
"Oh come on son. It's more than just doing just service. But enough about that. Where's our Divine Dragon Twins?" Morion look around and see them. "Ah, welcome Divine Ones. Prince Alfred, Princess Céline. And... wait, what?" Morion look at the Pokemon. "What the hell are people are you?"
"Oh they're our companions. They don't speak human language but they do understand us." Florian explain.
"I see... What a curious bunch I'll admit. But welcome all the same. I am Mortion, king of Brodia!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well, King Morion." Alear greeted with a humble bow and smile.
"Likewise! The last time we met, if was when you two were asleep. Finally woken up, huh? This is a special occasion. And you know what that means here in Brodia?"
"Let me guess, a sparring match, old man?" Ash crosses his arm.
"Right, you are, young man." King Morion smirked
"Father, this isn't the time for that." Diamant sighed.
"Oh come on, why not?" Morion crossed his arms as he sighed.
"We have an important matter to discuss. As Alcryst was escorting our guests from the border, Elusian soldiers attacked them in the Grand Crossing."
"Ugh… Elusions." Morion scoffed. "They attacked the Grand Crossing, did they? I'm curious to know why I didn't receive word about this."
"It's possible that some of the border guards were dealt with as well as a messenger in order to hide their tracks." Musse pointed out.
"Yes. I was thinking the same as well. Elusia seems to do some underhanded tactics." Alcryst nodded.
"All the more reason that they're cowards." Morion remark.
"But there's more. Alcryst and the others gain additional information. Apparently, the crown princess is planning to assault on Brodia Castle." Diamant added
"Already making their move, huh?" Morion turns to his soldiers. "Soldiers! Go, now! Shore up our defenses!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" A Brodian soldier bow before he and his fellow knights turn around and prepare the defenses as they run to various locations.
"Well done getting that information, Alcryst."
"Please… I don't deserve such kind words." Alcryst shook his head
Morion let out a sigh. "Humble as ever."
"Excuse us, King Morion, but we need your Kingdom's aid." Amia said.
"You want our Emblem Rings, right?" Morion asked as the dragon twins nodded. "I knew you two would ask! Which is why I brought them." Morion chuckled as he reached into his pocket and brought out two rings.
One is described as Alcryst mentions. A golden ring with a red stone while the other ring was a gray ring with an azure stone and with a few more azure stones as decoration.
"Here they are—the Ring of the Young Lion and Ring of the Azure Knight." Then he turn to his sons. " Hey, Diamant, Alcryst, think fast!" He then tosses the rings toward his son as Diamant gets the Ring of the Young Lion and Alcryst the Ring of the Azure Knight.
"Whoa!" Alcryst exclaimed as he caught the ring sloppy as he hop out of his hand until eventfully he caught it while Diamant caught it just a single take.
"Father, we're supposed to take care of the rings, not throw them around." Diamant scolded.
"Ah, you're no fun." Morion grumbled.
"Well, he certainly… lively." Mona comment.
"Yeah, I expected him to… well… as a king." Shez nodded.
"I was expecting him to be a stern warrior king." Arval added
"Well, what you're seeing is his friend and family side. You know, a guy with a big heart. However, on the battlefield, on the other hand, he's like a demon. He's someone you don't want as an enemy." Alfred said.
"Heh. Sounds like my kind of fun guy." Ash smirked. "I wanna see what's he made of."
"Ash, don't you dare." Kurt warned but Ash approached them. "And he's going."
"Hey, King."
"Hmm?" Morion turn to him.
"I heard that you're a beast in the battlefield. And I wanna see how tough your made off." Ash then pull his axe and pointed at him. "What say you, wanna give me a good match?"
"Wha-!? Alear exclaimed
"Are you out of your mind!?" Alcryst exclaimed. "Pointing your weapon to father like that?!"
Morion let out a laugh. "Hahaha! I like your spirit, young man! You got the guts and the courage to declare a match with me. You remind me of myself when I was your age. Sure, who am I to turn down a bold declaration match?"
"Father, now isn't the time for that!" Diamant stated
"Aww, come on. What's so wrong with a little sparing match?"
"I'm worried that you might go overboard. More importantly, you should be in the castle. Not out here."
"Sometimes I forget who's the King and prince around here." Morion muttered
"So we're having a match or not?" Ash asked as he put his weapon away.
"Absolutely not. And here I imagine that father would be a handful around here." Diamant argued.
"Tch. Buzzkill."
"I know right?" Morion nodded in agreement, causing Diamant to sigh as he pinch his nose out of annoyance.
"We're sorry about him too." Kurt sighed.
"Yeah, he's always stepping out of line." Juna added.
"Oh you guys are worried for nothing. It's not like he's doing anything wrong. Here in Brodia, anyone who has the courage to declare a match to someone mighty like me is considered courageous, and a spirit of a warrior. Something we brodians value and respect. And I can respect the fire within this young mans eyes." Morion said.
"Be that as it may— Oh forget it. You'll just ignore me anyway." Diamant grumbled. "In any case, Divine Ones, we've got the rings for you." He and Alcryst handed the rings over the Dragon Twins.
"Thank you." Amia take the rings with her brother.
"What will you do with them?" Morion asked.
"We're going to summon an Emblem." Alear answered as he and Amia look at each other and nodded as they begin the summoning.
"Rise up, Emblem of Binding!/Cleave our path, Emblem of Saber!"
(BGM paused)
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Rise up, Emblem of Binding)
A pulse of power spread as Roy emerge from the ring as he form an x with a confident smirk at first, before he materialize his sword as he swing it before he raise his sword high.
(BGM ended)
(Trails of Cold Steel III ost - Beyond the Journey - Instrumental Ver.-) (Start to 0:05 - 0:20)
After Roy came out of the ring, another surge of power emerge from the Ring. Materialized from it was Crow Armbrust. Crow first let out a smirk, before he materialized his double saber as he swirl over him, then toss it around him before returning to his right hand and then place it over his shoulder. (Like Olivert, it's like his trails of Cold Steel IV portrait.)
(BGM ended)
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - A Beacon of Light Awakens)
"I'm Roy, heir of Pherae. Ah, it feels good to finally stretch out my arms again." Emblem Roy stretched his arms as his binding sword disappeared.
"Seriously. I thought I was gonna get cramp in there." Emblem Crow stretches out his arms too. "But Hiya. I'm Crow. Or Emblem Crow, to be precise."
"If you're summoning us… that can only mean war has begun."
"Incredible… that' the same voice I heard!" Alcryst exclaimed as Diamant and Morion were also surprised.
"So the legends about the Emblem Rings are true. We have Emblems residing in each rings." Diamant said in awe.
"So it was you, after all, Crow." Mona crosses her arms with a smile.
"Mona?!" Emblem Crow looks surprised with Roy. "Shez, Arval, Kazuha… and everyone else? What the heck are you guys doing here?"
"You know them?" Diamant asked, looking surprised.
"Yes, they're our comrades from our world." Emblem Roy answered
"Seriously, you gave us quite the scare. Especially Morgan." Shez replied.
"Huh? What do you mean? Actually, hold that off. How did you guys—"
"Urgent news, Your Majesty!" A Brodian soldier ran toward the others. "An Elusian wyvern rider is approaching with a battalion of Wyvern Riders, Pegasi, and Griffins! One Wyvern Rider is dodging all of our archer's attacks. "
"She's here." Diamant said. "Divine Ones. May I call upon Roy's help to defend the castle?"
"And… is it all right if I call upon Emblem Crow's help as well?" Alcryst asked
Alear nodded. "Of course." Then he and Amia gave both princes of Brodia their chosen rings as they put it on.
"All right! Let's get this party started!" Emblem Crow declared.
"We'll help out too. Come on!" Renne said as everyone nodded and they all charged toward battle.
(BGM ended)
They headed toward the castle entrance to the east. As they made their way, they can see the background of the orange sky. Then they begin to heard a commotion going on. As they arrived, they saw Elusian soldiers along with the Corrupted fighting against the Brodian soldiers.
"The Corrupted!" Alear exclaimed. "They're fighting alongside the Elusian!"
"Which means they can be controlled after all." Alfred growled until they heard a screech from a wyvern as they all look up.
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - A Contemplative Princess)
In the orange sky, there was a wyvern coming close to the castle. One of the ballista bolt shot toward it, but it quickly dodge it. The Wyvern slammed into the ground stone splintering as its clawed feet broke the stone beneath it. It lifted its head up and let out a roar, causing some of them to cover their ears. As everyone draw their weapons.
Someone came off of the Wyvern's back and landed on their feet. It was a young woman. She has long purple hair flowing behind her just as surely as her cape did, with a large fascinator atop her head, and her long flowing dress. In her hand was a tome. She begins to approach both menacing and grace.
"Greetings, Kingdom of Brodia. I, Princess Ivy, speak for the Elusian throne." She stops and looks up, revealing her face. "I will not only take your lives, your souls." Then let out a dark smirk. "And I will also take your rings."
(BGM ended)
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Clash)
"Ooh, I like her." Renne comment.
"Seriously? Now is not the time to compliment her." Celine muttered
"So she's Elusian Eldest Princess. I can feel she possesses a powerful magical aura." Emma comment.
"Hmph. I've underestimated you and your soldiers for making your way into Brodia territory, Princess Ivy." Diamant praised.
"My soldiers are on their way. Now, I will give you a chance to surrender before they arrive. Surrender now, along with your rings and I will call off the attack. You have less than minutes to reply, Kingdom of Brodia." Ivy announced. "What will it be? Your lives? Or the rings?"
"Oh, I'm itching for that fight!" Morion smirked as he crack his knuckles.
"Father, go back to the castle." Diamant requested
"What? Why?"
"If something happened to you, our country would be devastated. Please, leave this to us."
Diamant grumbled. "Right, why should the king get a say in the matter? But all right. I'll do as you ask. But, Diamant, Alcryst... don't you dare get killed."
"We won't" Diamant nodded
"Well, we'll try not to." Alcryst replied as Morion took odd.
Ivy look around at Alear's group until see Alear and Amia together. "Ah, so you must be the Divine Dragon Twins. Queen Lumera's successors."
"That's right." Alear nodded
"You really are just as stunning as my sister said. I'm pleased to meet you. And of course, those creatures with you as well." She turn to the Pokemon where Florian, Penny Nemona and Arven got in front of them and take their stands as the Pokemon did the same. "Hortensia told me she encounter powerful creatures among you who harness some mysterious power. I confessed. I'm very curious about them."
"If you thinking of taking them from us, you're very much mistaken." Florian said.
"T-That's right! You won't be taking our Pokemon from us!" Penny agreed
"Pokemon, is it?" Ivy asked in intrigue. "So that's what they're called."
"Oough... me and my big mouth..."
"I don't know what these "Pokemon" you speak off, but there is never any records of them existing. I'm not sure how they appear, but I doubt you'll reveal any information about that. But capturing one of you is one of my objectives. The other is to take the rings you all carried." Ivy pull out a Tome. "It truly is regrettable Divine Ones. I am ordered to kill you both."
"I won't let that happen." Diamant glared. "It's you who will fall, Princess Ivy."
"You won't surrender then? In that case, my forces will prepare for battle."
"As will ours." Diamant declared
"Everyone, prepare for battle!" Alear got out his sword and Emblem Marth appeared by his side.
"Right!" Everyone nodded.
"Mages, if you please." Ivy said as she snapped her finger, then Elusian Mages gathered up and they all channeled fire magic into the form of a sphere and then threw them toward the group.
"Incoming!" Diamant yelled as everyone split up and dodged the firey explosion. "Attack!"
Kurt, Ash, Vander, Kazuha, and Alfred whistle to call their horses, and mount up for battle as Chloé whistles her Pegasus and mounts up and take on for battle Before they can attack, they hear horse hooves as Diamant turns and see a Young man with orange hair galloping on his horse and then prance when near.
"Whoaaa!" He yelled as his horse finished prancing. "Finally, you stopped horsey!"
"Amber?" Diamant blinked
"huh? Wait, Prince Diamant?! Then is this the castle?" Amber look around and see Elusian soldiers fighting against the Brodian soldiers. "Why are there Elusian soldiers here?"
"Who's he, Prince Diamant?" Alear asked
"This is Amber. He's my Retainer. Speaking off, Amber, weren't you fighting beasts?" Diamant asked
"I was." Amber nodded. "But then Horsey got spooked and wouldn't listen to me. I kept getting tossed around on its back, and next thing I know... here I am!" He explained, causing everyone to sweatdrop.
Diamant let out a chuckle. "I'll never understand how you end up in these strange situations. But this time, it works in our favor. I was just wishing you were here."
"Perhaps your horse must have sensed danger and wished for you to come here." Kazuha said as his horse neigh.
"Oooh so that explains it. Horsey you're so clever!" Amber let out a cheesy smile and petting his horse.
"Ready to defend the castle, Amber?" Diamant asked
"I was born ready!" Amber brought out his Killing Lance.
"Good. Everyone, don't let any Elusian Soldiers reach the castle. If they approached, the castle will be there."
"We won't let that happen." Alear declared.
"Right!" Amia agreed. "Some of us will guard the entrance while the rest of us fight head-on!" Amia agreed
(BGM ended)
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Royal Confidence)
"Everyone, charge!" Alear yelled as he and the others charged for battle.
"The enemy forces will charge at us together. Our defenses won't hold out much longer. I'll go operate the Ballistae to lower their ranks. Lapis, Citrinne, cover me!" Alcryst yelled as he run toward it.
"Yes, Prince Alcryst!" Lapis and Citrinne yelled and they both rush to follow him as Elusian Soldiers and Corrupted Soldiers approached the gate from both sides.
"Meowscarada, Leaf Storm the left!" Florian command.
"Cloyster! Take them down with Ice Beam!" Arven yelled
"Meow!" Meowscarada swings his arm and multiple green glowing leaves are thrown toward the Corrupted and Elusians.
"Cloooys!" Cloyster channeled a light blue ball and then fired a light blue beam toward the floor between Corrupted and Elusion and spikes of ice roses, striking them
"Aaaaugh/AAAUGH!" Elusion and Corrupted yelled as Alear, Amia, Clanne, Framme, Vander, Alfred, Boucheron, Etie, Céline, Louis, Chloé, Jean, Yunaka, Diamand, Amber, Kazuha, Shez, Juna, Kurt, Ash, Florian with Meowscarada, Nemona with Goodra and Renne charge into battle while Mona, Emma, Celine, Arvel, Penny, and Arven support them.
Diamant jumped off the ledge and then swung his sword down to cut down an Elusion Lance Fighter and then a Corrupted Lance Fighter Swing at him, but he and Emblem Roy blocked the attack and pushed it back and both began to swing at the Corrupted, overpowering it and they slay it by slashing the chest, turning into miasma.
"I got your back Prince Diamant." Emblem Roy declared, wielding his sword
"Thank you, Roy. Let's do this!" Diamant nodded as he readied his sword as Amber, Alfred, Boucheron, Kazuha, Shez, Kurt, Juna, Alear, Clanne, Framme, and Vander joined him.
Alcryst begin to operate the Ballistae and then fires a Ballista arrow toward the Elusian Lance Pegasus Flier and shoots her out of the sky as she screams in agony with her Pegasus.
"You got a good aim Alcryst." Emblem Crow appeared who switched to his Orbal pistal.
"Thank you— huh. Weren't you wielding a weapon just now?" Alcryst asked
"These are one of my weapons. I'll cover you with your retainers to our enemies who come too close to ya. I gotcha back."
"T-Thank you, Emblem Crow." Alcryst nodded and then begin to fired the next Ballstae toward the Corrupted Mage.
The Corrupted Axe Fighters broke through the blockade as Sword Fighter charged toward Alcryst but Lapris swung her Sword and she began to fight the fellow swordsman while Citrinne fired her Thunder Magic at the Axe Fighter. Two Pegasus Knights charge toward Alcryst, only for them to be shot down by the Ballstae. Emblem Olivert begins shooting Orbal Shots toward the Corrupted as Kurt galloping toward them. The Corrupted use their weapons to block the shots as Kurt then impale the Corrupted's chest, killing it into miasma.
The Elusian Mage fired Wind Magic at him as he block with his twin swords. Shez use Shadowslash to teleport behind the mage and kill her by impaling her. Shez then rushes toward the Corrupted and Elusian Soldiers as he jump and stomp on a Corrutped's face, hop off and swing down his sword and kill an Axe Fighter Corrupted. Two Pegasus Knights flew toward Shez to attack him, only for Kazuha to jump off his horse and then slash through them, knocking them off the sky and crashing to the ground as he landed. Two Corrupted Sword Fighters charge at Kazuha but he send out slash projection to push them back as his horse approached and climb back up.
Juna shields herself as an arrow from an Elusian Archer prepares another one while the Elusian Thief throws a Dragger. Juna blocks them off and then she charges and then punch the Elusian Thief, pushes her away, and then kick the Archer back. Four Sword Pegasus Fliers flew toward her. Juna then begins to fire energy shots at them as each dodge at their own pace. Alcryst fired the Ballistae while Emblem Crow fired orbal shots and knocked two out of the sky. Two Sword Pegasus Fliers slam to the ground and one begins to swing her sword at Juna, but she blocks, backflips, and uses Brave Smash 2 and knocks the Fliers off their Pegasus. As the Fliers get back on their feet, Vander swings his axe and kills them.
Clanne fired Fire Ball at the Corrupted Sword Fighter who blocked and then charge, and swing at him. Clanne used his magic and clashed with the Corrupted, swinging at each other until the Corrupted kick Clanne away. Clanne recovered and then fired a Fireball to push the Corrupted back. Clanne's body begins to glow.
"For the Divine Dragon!" He channel magical power into a fireball and throw it at the Corrupted and exploded on him.
"AAAUGH!" It screeches as it turns to miasma.
Framme throws her punches against the Elusian Thief who block but Emblem Levi throws in a few jabs attack. Then Framme pummel the Thief's guts then uppercut. Then she kicks the thief with a spin kick and Emblem Levi kills her by impaling her.
Emblem Levi turn to the left and see a dagger coming in hot and he deflected it.
"Wha—?!" Framme gasped as a man with gray or black hair, with dove gray skin wearing a thief outfit.
"Hello, little girl. I *see* you possess one of the Rings. I'm *afraid* I must take it from you. If you value your life. Hand over the ring." The man said
"Nah-uh! I won't let you take the ring!" Framme took her stand as Levi readied his Glaive and horse responded, ready for a fight.
Framme lung toward the Thief to punch him but he dodges easily and counter with a slash, but Emblem Levi blocks the attack and slashes the Thief who blocks it in time. The Thief backflips and then throws more knives at Framme and Emblem Levi. Emblem Levi swirl his Glaive into a shield and then Framme lungs and threw a few punches, but the Thief was fast enough to dodge each one until Framme did a low kick. The thief jumps back and throws the dagger. Framme dodges and lung at the Thief again
Meanwhile Kazuha slash and stabbed the Corruped while Shez send out purple slash projections against the Elusian Soldiers. Shez lungs toward the next Elusian soldiers and cut then down with twin slashes.
"It won't be long before— hm?" Kazuha turns his head and see an eastern swordman jump into the air to swing down at him, but Kazuha block the attack as the swordsman jump off.
"Hmm?" The Eastern-dressed swordsman look surprised. "It can't be..."
"An eastern swordsman?" Kazuha also look surprised as his horse neighs and turns to face the other Eastern Swordsman.
"Are you also from the Pale Sand?" the Swordsman asked
"The Pale sand? No. I am not a native to your homeland." Kazuha answered.
"I see... That is a shame. However, it does warm my heart all the same." The Swordsman then take his stand with a smile on his face. "My name is Kagetsu. May I ask who you are?"
"Kazuha Kaedehara." Kazuha reaided his sword.
"A pleasure, Kazuha. Though I wish we meet under friendlier circumstances. Have at you!" Kazuha lung toward Kazuha with blinding speed.
Kazuha blocks the attack and then he and Kagetsu swing at each other fiercely. Kazuha pushes Kagetsu back and then gallops toward him. Kagetsu recovers his stand and resumes clashing with Kazuha as their swings ring steel vs steel. Kazuha let out a slash but Kagetsu blocked and parry him. Katgetsu swings horizontally but Kazuha blocks and counters with swift combo slashes. Katgetsu winched and then they swung at each other once more. As Kazuha and Kagetsu let out swift slashes at each other, Kazuha's horse pranced to make Kagetsu jump back from a horse attack. Kazuha's sword glows green and sends out a slash projection. Kogatsu deflected the slashes and then lung at Kazuha again. They resumed swinging at each other until Kagetsu attempted to slash Kazuha's horse, but the horse jumped spin back and Kazuha readied his Katana.
Kazuha's horse gallops toward Kagetsu and they swing their swords at each other until Kazuha swings upward and then swings left, and right, swift jabs and then a large spinning jump as he rises into the air, and then slams into the ground. Kagetsu dodged each one and then he zooms and moves with lightning speed to slash around Kazuha's opening, but he blocked each one. Kazuha moves forward and slashes upwards right, then upwards left to form a cross slash as Kagetsu block and spin dodge. Kagetsu then swing upward for a large slash as Kazuha's horse move to the left to dodge and then Kazuha move forward and then swing up powerfully and disarm Kagatsu Wo Dao.
"Nhg!" Kagetsu fell on his butt as his sword impale to the ground in the distance.
Kazuha pointed his sword at Kagetsu. "Victory is mine."
"Indeed. This fight is yours, but we will meet again." Kagetsu said as he got back on his feet, ran to pick up his sword and took off.
Meanwhile with Framme, she pummel the Thief's guts and then palm strikes, punches and then spin kick his guts.
"Oogh!" He grunted as he fell on his back. "Ngh... I must return to Princess Ivy..." He got back on his feet and then take off.
Alear cut down a Corrupted with Amia as it turn into miasma as an Elusian Lance Flier flew down to attack them but was shot down by a Ballistae. Alear and Amia run toward where Ivy was sitting on her Wyvern as Emblem Marth and Emblem Rean appeared.

Ivy's Wyvern descended down.
"What a pleasure it is to see the two of you upclose, Divine Ones." Ivy cross her legs. "I see you and the Brodians fight with tenacity. I can understand why my forces are having quite a difficult time."
"Spare us the flattery. Where are the Emblems Rings you stole?" Alear glared.
"Hm? What are you talking about?" Ivy asked.
"Don't play dumb with us. Your forces took the Emblem Rings from the vault back at Lythos Castle. We're taking them back." Amia said.
"What? No, I can assure you we don't have your stolen rings. Granted, Elusian Forces did attack the castle, but they failed to secure any rings."
"Fail to... what are you getting at?"
"I'm not sure what you are getting at Divine Ones, but I'm ordered to take your rings. And so I must. " Ivy hold onto the reins of her Wyvern as it spread its wings.

"We won't let you take our rings!" Alear took his stand with Amia and Emblem Marth and Emblem Rean.
Princess of the Cold - Ivy
Amia form a combat link with Alear.
Alear charge toward Ivy who aim her hand and form a magic barrier to block any attack, then Alear jump into the air and spin slash down. Ivy's had her Wyvern move out of the way and then she throw Fire Magic toward the two. Both deflected the attack as Alear jump to swing at Ivy. She dodge the attack and then throw Thunder at him, pushing him back. Amia then let out rapid slashes against Ivy and her Wyvern.
"Ngh." Ivy winched as her Wyvern launch a tail attack and knock Amia away.
"Ugh!" Amia grunted as she rolled but recovered her ground.
Ivy raised her hand and channeling thunder magic and then throw it at Amia who dodge by rolling and then charge at Ivy again. Ivy go for a Dive Bomb Attack and then her Wyvern launch a tail attack, forcing Alear and Amia to duck and then Amia swing at her. Ivy block with her magic as they swing at each other while Alear swing his sword at her. Ivy form another barrier with her hands as her Wyvern breathe fire to push both of them away. Amia lung toward Ivy and they swing at each other. Ivy throw magic attacks but Amia dodge and deflect. Alear then let out rapid slashes against Ivy and push her and her Wyvern away.
Ivy hop off her Wyvern and then got her Tome out.
"Take this!" Ivy channeled magic and fired at Alear who used his sword as a shield, pushing him back as Amia ran toward her. Amia and Ivy swung at each other until Ivy pushed Amia back with her magic and then fired a beam of lighting on her.
Alear's combat linkability: Cover—shielded Amia from the attack. Amia moves around her brother and then swings fiercely. Ivy formed a barrier and then her Wyvern flew in and breathed fire, making her move. Alear rush in and then swing at her. Ivy block his attack until Alear move to his left and slash at Ivy's opening, but she backflip and hop back on her Wyvern and took off into the air. She rain down Fire Magic to the rains. Then she dive for a bomb attack. Ivy then shoot waves of magic at the Dragon Twins as they use their swords as a shield with Emblem Marth and Emblem Rean. Amia lung and swing with Emblem Rean. Ivy created a barrier said molded the barrier into a beam where they dodge and swing upward and striking her and her Wyvern.
Alear then follow up by slashing with Emblem Marth. Ivy backflip as she throw her tome to the floor and then fired magic beams and knock Alear away as Amia's Combat link ability: Counterattack made her lung and slash Ivy and her Wyvern. Amia let out combo slashes with Emblem Rean and then launch a slash projection to push them both away.
"Ngh..." Ivy winched as she toss her Tome into the air and then channel magical energy and then form into a large sphere and throw it at the center where ti created a shockwave to push the Dragons twins back. Both Impale their swords to the ground to hold their ground, and then Amia raises her sword.
The Tome return to Ivy's Hand as Alear and Emblem Marth charge at her and they swing at her again as Ivy block with her magic. They swing at each other a few times and then Amia and Emblem Rean charge toward Ivy, jump to the air and then swing down for a slash projection. Ivy look and pull the rein hard to make her Wyvern to dodge the attack. Ivy's Wyvern breathe fire while Ivy shoot Ice magic at the Twins. Amia dodge, lung at Ivy and let our rapid slashes against her with Emblem Rean, knocking Ivy off her Wyvern.
"Ough!" Ivy roll onto the floor and then got back on her feet as Alear lunged at her and then deliver a powerful swing. "Augh!" She yelled, roll onto the floor again as her tome was dropped.

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Mighty Governance)
"It's over Princess Ivy." Alear approached with Amia.
Ivy sighed as she got back on her feet. "So it seems. Unfortunately for you, I cannot be captured. Nor surrender. There is more for me to do."
"What do you mean by that?" Amia asked
"You'll see." Ivy said as she whistle and her Wyverl flew down, flapping its wings to force Alear and Amia to cover their eyes from the gust of wind. Ivy's wyvern blended near her and she hop away, pull the rein and then flew away.
"Ngh! She got away..." Diamant growled as he and the other approached.
"Shouldn't we go after her?" Amber asked
"No. Not yet. Come on. Let's—"
"Your Highness!" A Brodian Soldier came in running. "Urgent news from the border!"
"What is it?" Diamant asked
"An Elusian battalion stands at the ready! King Hyacinth is acting as general— he's leading their army himself!"
"What?"
"Yes...and he demanding to see King Morion."
"To see King Morion?" Juna asked.
"Why would he want to see King Morion?" Kurt asked.
"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this." Mona said as she used her Scryglass.
"If King Hyacinth wishes to see me in battle, then I must go." King Morion approached. "Anything less would bring dishonor to Brodia."
"Father, he's baiting you. This may be a trap of some kind. Go back inside."
"Hah! I can fight my way out of whatever trap he springs."
"I urge you to reconsider."
"Listen, who's the father and who's the son here? Stop trying to protect me." King Morion rebutted, causing Diamant to flinch. "Diamant, what is this all about? You been trying to protect me from leaving the castle. Normally I would find this irritating but I've noticed the hint of concern. It's time you start explaining. Are you worried Brodia might lose this war? Or lose... its king?"
Diamant sighed. "We're not ready for any of this. Brodia, to lose its king. Or me, my father."
"Diamant?" Alcryst look concerned.
"From a young age, I was told I would lead Brodia after you died... Imagine... a boy forced to anticipate his father's death. To think of that empty throne. The Fell Dragon has returned. War is here. The future is uncertain. And I'm not ready."
"Prince Diamant..." Amber whispered.
Morion let out a chuckled. "It's all right, Diamant. If I die, I die. Brodia will live on."
"But, Father!" Diamant protest
"Your Majesty, I urge you to reconsider as well." Mona's Scryglass vanished. "I just did a Divination on you. And it say that you will face death the moment you go into battle. A horrible death that drains your entire being."
"Come again?" Morion raised an eyebrow.
"Mona is an astrologist. She can see into the fates of people by reading the stars." Renne explained.
"What?" Diamant gasped. "Are you certain?"
Emblem Crow appeared next to Alcryst. "If I may interrupt. Mona isn't the type to lie. And I can confirm her skills in astrology. And they're all accurate. If her scryglass shows King Moron will die in that battle... it will come true."
"Ah..." Alcryst turn pale.
"Father, did you hear what he said?" Diamant said with a serious look
"Yeah, we all head him. Even so. I will face King Hyacinth in battle." King Morion responds.
"Father!"
"That's enough if my death is preordained or not. Be it hogwash and all. There is one thing I will say to you. Brodia will live on through you and Alcryst."
"...!" Diamant eye widen.
"F-Father..." Alcryst shivered
"Besides, I'm offended. Then let me ask you something astrologist. How exactly will I die? There's no way Hyacinth is strong enough to take me down. And I've faced him before in battle. He knows he can pack a punch. But it's never enough to take me down. Did he use some weapons to deal the final blow."
"No... I'm afraid it's more grim. Horrifying even." Mona rub her arm. "Hyacinth isn't the one who kills you, but Sombron himself. Hyacinth will capture you and offer you as a sacrifice to the Fell Dragon. That's when he devoured you."
"S-Sombron... devour him..." Alcryst turn even paler then he was.
"Father, I urge you to heed her warning!" Diamant stated
"No, Diamant, I will not." Diamant told him, causing an !? over everyone's head.
"Father I refuse to allow you to be a sacrifice for Sombreon when Brodia still needs you— when we still need you! Don't do this!"
"Listen to me well Diamant, you too Alcryst. I brought bravely for Brodia. We spend years locking in battle with Elusia. Do you want them to think as us as cowards? No. I am a king who is known to be the demon in battle. I am not a king who runs from battle. Fear has no place in my kingdom. If we step into fear, then we step out of Brodia. What's more, Hyacinth and his army awaits me on that battlefield. I don't care if my death was already predetermined or not. I do not fear death. I will face my own destiny. But I won't be food for Sombreon either. And even IF Hyacinth captures me and offers my life as a sacrifice, there I know that I trust both of you to keep Brodia safe for me. And Alcryst? Keep Diamant safe, will you?"
Alcryst grasp his arms as he lower his head, shivering at the thought, but he nodded his head. "I-I will, father."
"Now! If you'll excuse me, I've got an army to muster." King Morion walked off, though he placed his hands on Diamant and Alcryst's shoulders as he walked back to the castle.
"He's really going for it... isn't he?" Juna asked in concerned.
"Yeah. He's one tough old hound dog." Ash nodded.
"Once Father set his mind to... it's impossible to persuade him to stop." Diamant muttered
"Yeah... That's father for you... even with injuries or not. He will still fight on." Alcryst agreed.
"Is there something we can do to prevent his death?" Kurt asked.
"If we join him in battle and watch his back, his destiny can be rewritten." Mona answered. "After all, we all experienced that, didn't we?"
"That's right." Musse nodded her head. "Prince Diamant, Prince Alcryst. If we want to prevent King Morion's death, we need to be there with him and watch his back. If we can prevent King Hyacinth from capturing him, we may be able to alter his fate."
"Alter fate..." Diamant closed his eyes and then nodded his head. "Yes, you're right. Let's go, everyone."
"Right!" Everyone nodded until someone's ARCUS Alpha ringing
"Ah! What was that?!" Alcryst yelled
" Oh sorry. Hang on." Mona pull out her ARCUS Alpha and answered. "Hello?"
"Is that... a device? Diamant asked
"Hey Mona. We're back." Aether said on the line.
"Aether. It's good to see you!" Mona smiled. "You call at the perfect time. We just finished a battle."
"Is she... communication with someone with that thing?" Diamant asked
"Yep. That's our ARCUS units." Florian nodded
"ARCUS units?"
"We'll explain. They are devices from our world."
One explanation later...
"Incredible..." Diamant said in awe. "I didn't expect each of you hail from another world. But that would explain a lot."
"Yeah, and those devices sound incredible too." Alcryst agreed.
"Alear, Amia, is it possible that you can bring Aether here from the Somniel?" Mona asked
"Of course. We just have to open a portal there." Alear nodded
"Excellent. Aether also brought someone who wanted to help out too. His name is Alhaitham."
"Alhaitham? Isn't he the one who work for Epstein Foundation?" Musse asked.
"Yes. Apparently they ran into each other." Mona explained.
"All right, we should get things prepare while we have the time." Amia said.
"Right. We will change Father's fate." Diamant nodded with determination.

"My Lady, I have news to report." Zephia approached from a location.
"What is it Zephia?" The Hooded Figure asked.
"The first report is that the Brodian Forces will confront King Hycinch as we speak."
"Ah, I see. Then things are going as plan. It won't be long until we get our hands on King Mortion. Hmph. That barbaric king won't know what hit him."
Zephia nodded. "Yes. We will come for him soon enough. But about my next report. It involves something about the Corrupted."
"The Corrupted?" The Figured raise her eyebrow underneath her hood. "What about them?"
"Lately many of the Corrupted have been disappearing. I sent an investigation to find out why. Apparently, there has been some unknown portal that took them somewhere."
"A portal that took the Corrupted? This is news to me. Where does this portal lead?"
"Unknown." Zephia answered. "However, one of our scouts has encountered a portal. I already sent Mauvier and Marni to investigate. Hopefully, they will return shortly for the big plan."
"Hmm, I'm curious to this portal. What do you think lies on the other side, Zephia?" The Hooded Figure asked.
"Good question. Perhaps to another realm or somewhere in Elyos we could use to our advantage."
"Until we learn further notice. We shall resume the plan. Is there anything else I should know?"
"One last report. There has been reports about new monsters that appeared in Elyos. They have an Heart Symbol on them. We're not sure what they are. It's the first time I've seen such creatures. They appear to be attacking not just civillains, but also many soldiers, including Elusians. Each time someone dies, a Heart came out of them and more of them suddenly appeared. It's like they're multiplying from each kill."
"Now new creatures converting lives? You have a lot of work to do it seems. Find out what those things are and see if they can be controlled."
"As you wish, my lady." Zephia nodded.
"You should head off now Zephia. It's almost time."
"Yes, My lady." Zephia bow and take off.
"Hmm... a portal..." The Hooded Figure rub her chin, wondering. "I'm really curious to where it leads." Then she felt a headache. "Ngh...! Damn it... she's a...aw...akening..."
I can imagine the horror of how Morion was devoured. But will they change Morion Fate? Or not. Big questions. And now Zephia and our hooded figure discovered the portal. Where do you think it leads?
