(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Elusia, the Kingdom of Knowledge)
"Aw, the snow's really coming down out there." Hortensia said, looking at the window.
"Yeah, the cathedral always gets hit harder than anywhere else, huh?" Rosado asked
"And Ivy's late too..." Hortensia cross her arms, looking concerned for her sister. "We've been waiting for ages. Did something happen to her out there? You don't think things went bad at Brodia Castle after I open my big mouth?"
"Even if you did, you know very well that Princess Ivy can handle herself. You know how skill she is in both magic and in a fight."
"Yeah, you're right." Hortensia smiled. "Thanks Rosado. You're the sweetest." Then she fold her arms and her hand to her chin. "Still though... What is going on right now... Ever since Lord Sombron was released, Father's been acting weird. He used to be so kind to me! But since they came into the picture, it's like I hardly exist."
"You mean the ones who showed up at Elusia Castle with Lord Sombron?" Rosado referred to Zephia and the Hooded Figure.
"Yeah. That kid with the Hood and the four weirdos who follow her around. It was them who freed Lord Sombron if I recalled. The next step was to gather the rings which that kid failed. So maybe if I had gotten the rings from the Divine Dragon Father might pay more attention to me and praise me like he used to... But that didn't go well as I hoped."
"Princess..."
"I don't know what to do... I don't have any clue what Father's up to either..." Hortensia sadden. "I don't know why he wants the rings or what this ritual's about. I'm totally in the dark!"
"Hortensia?" The woman enter the room. "Pardon me for interrupting."
"Hey, Goldmary. What is it?"
"King Hyacinth has asked you to join him at the altar. And to prepare for battle as well." Goldmary informed
"So that means the Divine Dragon Twins are coming." Hortensia cross her arms. "Good. I'll get some answers about what happened at Brodia Castle. Come on you two. Let's go." She commanded as Rosado and Goldmary nodded and take off.

Meanwhile outside of Destinea Cathedral...
"So this is Destinea Cathdral, huh?" Juna asked
"Indeed. Veyle really help us out with the directions." Altina nodded.
"Let's head inside, quickly." Alear said as everyone climb down their mounts as Emblem Marth and Emblem Rean appeared.
"Hold on a moment." Emblem Marth requested with a concerned look.
"What is it Marth?"
"I sense the Fell Dragon's presence. He's waiting for us inside the cathedral."
"So that dragon is inside, huh?" Ash cross his arms. "Guess we better prepared for a tough fight."
"No." Emblem Rean shook his head "We're not ready enough to fight him. If the ritual is completed, we needed to retreat. Even if the ritual isn't completed, we needed to escape at the first sign of danger."
"Are you telling us to flee and leave father behind?" Diamant asked. "I'm afraid we can't do that."
"Diamant is right. We have to rescue Father before the sacrifice is made." Alcryst agreed.
"I understand, I really do... But..." Emblem Rean express concerned
"Instructor?" Musse asked.
"Are you scared, Rean?" Emma asked
"This is not like you to be that scared." Celine remark. "What's going on, Rean? You too Marth."
Emblem Olivert appeared. "It isn't just them. But also us."
Emblem Celica, Emblem Levi, Emblem Roy, Emblem Sigurd, Emblem Micaiah and Emblem Crow appeared too, each expression a concern or serious look.
"Every one of us is worried. We shouldn't stay any longer than we have to." Emblem Micaiah expresses her concern.
"If all of you feel this way..." Musse fold her arms and rub her chin. "I think we should listen to them."
"But Musse—" Diamant protest.
"Musse is right." Mona said. "Even right now I sense a powerful dark presence inside. If we do encounter the Fell Dragon, we need to retreat. For the Emblem sake too."
"It'll be all right, everyone." Alear stated. "Princess Ivy said that Sombron can hardly move, remember?"
"Yeah. Plus there are so many of us here. If you ask me. We're an even match." Amia smiled
"It is true that we have so many allies fighting under this banner of ours... But as leaders, you shouldn't become too overconfident." Emblem Roy told them.
"Overconfidence leads to mistakes. Big or small." Emblem Sigurd agreed
"I guess you're right that we're being too bold." Amia said solemnly.
"But even so after everything we've faced. We're calm. I think it's because we have you all here with us." Alear smile
(Trails of Cold Steel II ost - Forward, with Determination)
"Us?" Emblem Crow asked
"Yeah. You and the other Emblem Supporting us, how could we not feel courageous?" Alfred smiled.
"Yeah. We been though a lot to make it this far. So we hope that you'll stay with us." Alear smiled
"We're not going anywhere." Emblem Marth smiled with the other Emblems. "We will remain by your side until the end of this journey."
"Thank you." Alear smiled."All right, is everyone ready and rescue King Morion?"
"We're ready." Diamant nodded.
"All right. Then let's go." Amia said as everyone nodded and then head into the Cathedral.
(BGM ended)
As everyone walk inside the Cathedral Halls, they arrive at the alter where King Hyacinth and Hortensia were waiting for them.
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Tradegy)
"So, you all made it here at last." King Hyarinch turn to face them with a sinister grin. "Unwelcome guests as you all are, including you, Spawn of the Divine Dragons, I welcome you to Destinea Cathedral. Oh." Hyawinch then turns to the others. "And of course, I also welcome our Otherworldly guests."
An !? appeared on everyone's head, even Hortensia was shockd.
"W-What did he just say?" Juna asked.
"How did you know that?" Musse demanded
"How indeed. Perhaps we can make this a guessing game. After all, you are my kingdom. Elusia. The Kingdom of Knowledge. Many of you otherworlders have outlandish clothing, even weapons. And let's not forget those creatures you have by your side. Pokemon, if I recall?"
"You know what Pokemon are?" Nemona asked.
"Wait a second! How does he know we have Pokemon? I thought they didn't exist in this world." Arven pointed out.
"It shouldn't be possible." Penny tuck her glasses. "There's no way King Hyacinth would know this... unless..."
Renne eye widen as an ! appeared over her head. "You found out if you've been to our world."
"But how can that be? The only explanation is... ah!" Florian eye widen.
"Ahh, so many youths appear to have intelligence. Your guesses are correct. We discovered a portal that leads to your world. The Mushroom Kingdom. Or Zemuria. Regardless of the name, I will reply that I wasn't the one who discovered this. It was my acquaintances. I may not know why you otherworlders are here meddling in our affairs, but it's clear you oppose Lord Sombron." King Hyacinth said coldly.
"That's enough talk, King Hyacinth." Alear said, voicing with disgust. "Release King Morion immediately! Now!"
King Hyacinth snorted "I allow you to walk into my domain and into the Elusian church devoted to our god, Lord Sombron and you have the audacity to ask me to release that barbaric man who dares invade my nation? No, I think not, Divine Dragon."
Diamant step forward "We're not asking."
"Ah, Morion's crown jewel. Just like your father Always so quick to battle. Speaking off, where is my daughter Ivy? I predicted that she lost the battle with your presence here, but if you didn't halt her captive, I assume you slain her for the wolves."
Hortensia eye widen in horror. "You mean... My sister... My sister is dead? You killed her?!"
"She isn't dead." Amia answered
"Then where is she?!" Hortensia stomp her feet, demanding answered. "If she's not here then that means you kill her!"
"Now now, Hortensia, do not grieve just yet. This is a good chance for you to avenge your poor sister." Hyacinth said with a dark smirk.
"Nnnnngh...!"
"King Hyacinth, enough wasting time. Release King Morion at once!" Alfred yelled.
"Now you have the audacity to ask me, Crown prince of Firene? Well no matter. If you insist." Hyacinth turn to his left. "King Morion. Come out and greet our guests.
"Uugh..." A groan was heard as they turn to the back of the alter and see King Morion groaning.
"Diamant, that's father!" Alcryst exclaimed
"Father! Hang in there, we're rescue you!" Diamant stated
"Ooough..." Morion groaned
"Wait... something isn't right!" Mona remarked as Morion turn around... but his eyes were glowing red and his skin was pale.
"RAAAAAAARGH!" Morion roar with a reddish purple aura.
"Father!" Diamant eye widen in shock.
"His eyes! What did you do to him!?" Cirtinne yelled at Hyacinth
"Oh yes. I forgot to mention that you are all far too late. The ritual has been carried out" Hyacinth dark grin
"You turn King Morion into a Corrupted?!" Renne glared.
"Y-You monster! That's inhumane!" Altina yelled.
"Hyacinth..." Diamant draw his sword. "YOU BASTAAAAAARD!"
"Alear! Amia!" Emblem Marth appeared with Emblem Rean. "We have no choice but to retreat without delay!"
"But we can't!" Amia protest.
"I'm sorry..." Emblem Rean looks the other way in grimace. "But King Morion is beyond our help."
"Are you telling us that we have to leave our father behind!?" Alcryst stepped up, swinging his arm as he yelled out of anger. "No! I will not! I will not abandon him!"
"Hyacinth you son of a bitch!" Diamant raised his sword. "I will KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND! I won't rest until I have your bloody head!"
"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Hyacinth snorted as he snapped his finger and the Cathedral Door closed behind them
"The Door! We're locked in!" Lapis exclaimed before glaring at Hyacinth
"This cathedral will be your grave." Hyacinth spread his arm with a dark grin. "Thanks to your impetuousness, you brought the rings unto my very hands."

"Hyacinth, YOU DIE!" Diamant jump into the air to swing his sword.
"No!" Hortensia got in front and then used her magic to create a barrier but its breaking until Corrupted Morion swoop in and swing his sword and push off Diamant.
"Ngh!" Diamant growled
"Now then Divine Dragons. You are your forces will die here." Hyacinth snapped his fingers and Elusian and Corrupted Soldiers appeared. "And Morion. Kill them."

"Is there some way we can change him back?" Alfred asked
"No, I'm afraid not." Emblem Roy shook his head. "There's nothing we can do for him. King Morion is gone."
"No..." Alear sadden
"Raaaagh!" Corrupted Morion charge at them, but then Ash jump in and used his craft Rumbing Slash 2 to stun Corrupted Morion and then he swing his axe to push him back.
"Get your asses together!" Ash yelled at Diamant, Alcryst, Alfred, Amia and Alear, getting their attention as an ! appeared over their head. "Do you have a death wish if you just stand there?! Morion is dead and his corpse is being used as a weapon for that Fell Dragon. He's beyond our help. There's nothing we can do to bring him back, no matter how much it hurts. Accept it." Corrupted Morion got back on his feet. "Do you want this proud king of Brodia and your father to see you become this vulnerable? Do you two want this own corpse to slay his two kids and use for shitty means? Hell no! He entrusted Brodia and its future to both of you. This ain't the time for you two to act so weak! Stand up and fight and free his damn soul from the abomination work of the Fell Dragon!"
"Ash..." Diamant eye widen.
"Hehe." Emblem Rean smiled with pride.
"You're right." Diamant readied his sword. "Alcryst. We must kill this thing. We must end this. For Father's sake."
"Diamant..." Alcryst's tears came out but then he wipe them, got on his feet, and then readied his Bow. "You're right."
"Thanks for giving the push we need Ash." Diamant approached next to him with Alcryst and Alear with Emblem Roy, Emblem Crow and Emblem Marth. "Hyacinth will pay. Come!"

"Hmm..." Sombron move his arm around. "It would seem my powers have returned because of you."
"It was my honor, my lord." Hyacinth bow.
"And yet, I'm still hungry for more." His voice said in a snake and hunger.
"Ah, then I brought you more good news. I brought you food the moment you arrived. Including our enemy. The Divine Dragons!" Hyacinth grinned as he pointed at Alear and the others. "Please help yourselves and devour their souls!"
Everyone took their stand.
Sombron let out a chuckled. "Alas, I prefer a different meal."
"Huh?" Hyacinth turn to Sombron in confusion. "A different meal, my lord?"
"Only sovereign blood can quell my hunger. You understand what I mean?" Sombron grabbed Hyacinth's chin as his eyes widen

"Ngh!" She winced as her hood was lowered, revealing her face.
Her face was Veyle, causing Everyone except Hortensia to have an ?! over their heads.
"Is that... Veyle?!" Celine jawdropped.
"You irritating girl." Veyle glared, channeling dark powers to her hand and swinging it at Hortensia, knocking her away.
"Aahh!" Hortensia winched, rolling on the floor.
"Hortensia!" Goldmary yelled as she and Rosado run to aid her.
"You have the nerve to slapped me while I was having fun. This is why I detest humans." Veyle said coldly.
"B-Brother, look!" Amia pointed at the leg. "It's the same bandage we used to dress her wound!"
"I should introduce myself. I am Sombron's daughter, the Fell Princess. You can call me Veyle. A pleasure to meet your acquaintances."
"Veyle..." Alear's voice shakened. "What do you mean, "Fell Princess"? How could you deceived us like this?"
"Deceive you?" Veyle raised an eyebrow. "We've never even spoken before."
"What?!"
"Ah, Celine, look! Her eyes!" Emma stated and notice Veyle's eyes.

"If it isn't the Divine Dragon Twins and their merry band. And of course, our otherworldly guests." Zephia smirked. "Fancy running into you here of all places."
"Well if it isn't the bitch who attack Fieren castle." Ash glared.
"Bitch? Did you just call me a bitch? You really got a foul mouth and bold words to call me that boy. But the fault is my own for not properly introducing myself. Oh, and I would also like to apologize for the action my men caused in such, I will take full responsibility for what he has done. Take comfort in the fact that I kill him myself."
"Y-You killed your own soldier?" Penny gulped. "Isn't that too far?!"
"Of course not dearie. He has a habit of causing trouble for me. So I had to punish him."
"By killing him? He was following your orders when you and the Elusian Soldiers plotted to take the Rings from Fieren!" Altina argued.
"Yeah! You can't shield yourself with lies!" Juna agreed.
"Lies? Now I'm hurt. Well, no matter. If I may continue, let me introduce myself properly." Zephia let out a dark grin. "My name is Zephia. I am a Mage Dragon of great power...and a humble servant of Lord Sombron in all manner of things." Zephia turn to Griss, Marni and Mauvier. "As for my companions here... they are like family to me. Together, we are called the Four Hounds."
"The Four Hounds?" Kurt asked.
Unknown to them, Veyle aim her hand and dark magic swirls around.
'Huh?' Emma felt something along with Celine, Arvel, Shez, Kazuha, Aether, Mona, Renne, and now Penny.
'H-Huh? What is this feeling?' Penny thought as the Ring of the Caring Princess cloaked in dark magic.
"Ha! Keep telling yourself that, Zephia. She's a Dragon while the rest of us are just plain humans. Family, she calls us." Griss rolled his eyes. "You can call me Griss, and I'm not the prisoner-taking type."
"Call me Marni." Marni introduced. "I heard we'd be meeting some royalties today and people from that other world... but you look like a bunch of losers to me."
"This coming from a mere pipsqueak who think she's no better." Ash comment
"Pipsquake?! Why I outta—"
"And I am Mauvier." Mauvier interrupted. " I am Lady Veyle's Retainer. The pleasure is all mine. She has told me much about you all."
"But I thought she said..." Amia trailed off.
"I don't care what you called yourselves. You're in our way. Now stand aside!" Alear command. "Everyone, Engage with our Emblems!"
Penny look at her hand. "Ah! The Ring!"
"Huh?" Alear turn to her and then notice the ring is missing from her hang. "W-Where's the Ring of the Caring Princess?!" Then he look at his hand. "Where's my ring?!"
"My ring is gone too!" Amia exclaimed.
"So is mine!" Kurt exclaimed
"And mine!" Jean alerted.
"And ours!" Diamant exclaimed as Alcryst look shocked too.
"Even mine!" Yukana exclaimed.
"And mine!" Framme exclaimed
"Something wrong?" Veyle called out as they turn to her, revealing she has the rings. "I thought you had the Draconic Time Crystal with you. Sorry, but I just had to take it back."
"How did you—!" Alear gasped.
"You took our rings while we were distracted?" Penny turn pale.
"So that explains the dark magic sense I felt earlier!" Emma glared.
"Oh? So you notice it and yet fail to tell your friends? Or was it too late? Well, it matters not." Veyle chuckled, holding the Emblem Rings.
"The Rings! Give them back!" Alear yelled.
(BGM ended)
"Sorry. But no. They belong right where they belong." Veyle look at the rings. "Nine, huh? Not a bad start I suppose. Father. The rings are yours." She levitated the Rings to Sombron.
"Excellent, Veyle." Sombron grinned. "With the rings in my possession. It's time to purge them of any traces of the Divine Dragons." He said as suddenly, Emblem Marth, Emblem Rean, Emblem, Sigurd, Emblem Levi, Emblem Olivert, Emblem Celica, Emblem Micaiah, Emblem Roy and Emblem Crow suddenly teleported in front of Sombron with a look of horror. "To begin... The Ring of the Hero King."
"Ah!" Emblem Marth gulped
"Marth!" Alear yelled in horror.
"Shine on, Emblem of Beginning." Shombron chanted as the Ring of the Hero-King glow with a purple aura.
(Trails of Cold Steel III ost - Great Twilight)
"Augh..." Emblem Marth groaned as he place his hand over his head as he was in pain. "Ah.. AH..AAAAAAUGH!" He screamed as he lowered his head as his fellow Emblem watch in horror as Emblem Marth now glow red, cloak with a red aura, turning completely emotionless.
"MARTH!" Alear yelled as everyone except the Four Hounds and Veyle look in horror. "Marth! Speak to me, please!"
Veyle smirked. "It no use. "My Father's Fell power is now coursing through the Emblem Rings. He's no longer the sweet little Marth you knew."
"Now... the Ring of the Ashen Knight." Sombron levitated the Ring of the Ashen Knight, causing Emblem Rean to turn pale.
"Rean/Instructor!" Amia, Emma, Celine, Kazuha, Juna, Kurt, Ash, Musse, Altina and Venti yelled.
"Guide us, Emblem of Cold Steel."
"Augh!" Emblem Rean groaned as he grasp his head. "Aaaa... AAAAUGH!" He screamed, raising his head upward until he turn red with a red aura, completely emotionless.
"REAN/INSTRUCTOR!" Amia, Emma, Celine, Juna, Kurt, Altina, Venti, Mussr and Ash yelled in horror.
"Provide for us, Emblem of the Holy War." Sombron chanted.
"Augh...AUUUUGH!" Sigurd screamed as he lower his head and then turn red.
"Sigurd!" Alear and Amia yelled
"Illuminate us, Emblem of Light." Sombron chanted Levi's Emblem Ring and he also lower his head, groaning until he turn red as well
"Levi!" Alear, Amia, new Class VII yelled in horror.
"Care for us, Emblem of Echoes, Encourage us, Emblem of Determination, Heal us, Emblem of Dawn." Sombron chanted, causing Emblem Celica, Emblem Olivert, and Emblem Miaciah to turn red.
"Stop!" Aether lungs toward Sombron, but Veyle casts her Dark Magic and blows him away. "Ngh!" He recovered and landed on the floor, glaring.
"Cleave our path, Emblem of Saber, Rise up, Emblem of Binding. Sombron continued to chant, causing Emblem Crow and Emblem Roy to turn red.
"Celice, Olivert, Miaciah, Crow, Roy... No!" Alear fell to his knees with Amia.
Veyle laughed. "Say goodbye to your beloved Emblems. Now they belong to us."
"Now if we have anything to say about it!" Florian glared. "Meowscarada, use Thief!"
"Meow!" Meowscarada lung at high speed.
"Stand down, Cat." Sombron backhand Meowscarada but he curl and landed on Sombron's hand then reach for the rings. "RAAAAAUGH!" Sombron let out a booming roar, knocking Meowscarada away.
"Raaar!" Meowscarada flip and landed on his feet with flexibility, growling at Sombron.
"Trying to steal our rings? You're more bold and gutsy. But these rings are ours." Veyle gave a dirty look. "Even if you so somehow take them, it's no use. The rings will be taken back." She hold the Dragonic Time Crystal. "It won't be long until we gather the other Emblem Rings in your flying fortress. And this time, Queen Lumera will die."
"Veyle... You wretch!" Alear glared in rage.
"Divine Ones! We have to retreat!" Vander stated.
"Trying to turn tail and run? I don't think so." Veyle snapped her finger and hordes of Corrupted appeared.
"RAAAUGH!" The Corrupted roar.
"Nngh. The Corrupted!? Here?! Now!? Amia look around and glare at Veyle.
"Abandon Hope for you all. All of you will die, here and now." Veyle declared.
"Give them back! GIVE THEM BACK TO US!" Alear yelled
"Emma, Arval, Aether, Help me!" Mona yelled
"Right!" They nodded and channel their magic as a large magic circle appeared underneath.
"Don't think you'll escape!" Zephia wave her hand as The Corrupted ran toward them but then they were teleported away. "Ngh!"
"Find them and kill them!" Sombron declared.
Outside the Destinea Cathdetal...
"Everyone, get on your mounts and let's head out of here and fast!" Vander yelled
"But the Emblem!" Alear exclaimed
"Divine One, there's nothing we can do! We have to make our escape and alert Queen Lumera!"
"But—"
"Brother, come on!" Amia stated as she climbed up her horse.
"Nngh!" Alear look away in as he clench his fist, and then he climb up his horse.
As everyone mounted up, they began to make their escape as the cathedral door burst open and the Corrupted came out and then follow them as Veyle step out.
"Run all you, like. You cannot escape." She said sinisterly.
(BGM ended)
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Chilling Rain)
'Damn it... Why!' Alear thought as she grip his rein of vision of Veyle as Sombron's daughter, and all the Emblems turn red and against them. 'Mother...I'm sorry... I failed to protect them... I...'
"Brother!" Amia yelled, snapping Alear's thoughts.
"Huh?" Alear look up as they enter a forest area where it begin to rain.
"RAAAAUGH!" Where the Corrupted are waiting, forcing them to stop.
"The Corrupted?! Here?!" Alear glared.
Clanne look back. "Ah! An army of them is coming from behind too!"
"What do we do!? What do we do!?" Framme panicked.
"We need to push forward!" Alear got his sword out. "Strike down the Corrupted and cleave a path!"

"The Emblems!" Alear yelled
"Take this!" Altina cast her magic. "Landmine!"
Magic circles appeared underneath the Corrupted who look down and exploded on them.
"RAAAAUGH!" They screamed until turn to miasma, dropping the ring.
"The Ring!" Alear climb down his horse to grabbed the rings, but they suddenly vanished "Ah! Where did they do?!"
"Looking for something?" A voice called out as they see Veyle sitting on a Corrupted Wyrm.
"Veyle!"
"Try all you want, you will never get the rings and Emblem back." Veyle grinned as she hop off. "Attack!"
The Corrupted with the Emblems charge at them.
"Oh no you don't!" Aether channel power in his hand answing his arm, creating tornados to blow away the Corrupted.
"Ngh!" Veyle shield herself.
"Glaceon! Ice beam to create a wall of ice!" Renne yelled
"You too Froslass!" Emma yelled
"Glaaaceeon/Frooooolaaas!" Froslass and Glaceon fired icebeam onto the pathway to create a wall of ice.
"Our chance!" Celine yelled as everyone resumed making their escape.
"Those wretched Pokemon." Veyle growled as the Corrupted Wyverns breath fire to melt the ice wall.
"Lady Veyle." Zephia flew in and landed on her Wyvern. "The Hounds have arrived."
"Good. Take care of those hounds before they escape."
"By your command."
"Haha! Which one of those Morons will be my first victims!" Marni grinned.
At the Heroes...
"More Corrupted, incoming!" Jade yelled as more Corrupted begin to block their path.
"Nngh! They're trying to block off off!" Etie grumbled.
"And more enemies are coming!" Boucheron added.
"Damn it! We have to push through!" Amia stated.
"Come on, everyone, don't give up!" Alear stated
Florian then had an idea. "Meowscarada, come here." He called out as Meowscarada approached and lend in his ear as Florian whispered into his ear as an ?! appeared over Meowscarada's head.
"Meow?!" Meowscarada exclaimed
"I know is risky, but try what you can. Can you do it?" Florian asked
"Meow." Meowscarada nodded
"Then go, and don't get caught!" Florian commanded and Meowscarada nodded and jump into the woods and vanished.
The Corrupted Mages fired their magic as the Corrupted Archers fired their errors from above.
"Incoming!" Juna yelled as Emma used her magic to summon mirrors to reflect them back to the Corrupted.
The Corrupted Fighters, Martial Monks, Cavalier and Fliers charge toward them.

"More of them?!" Penny exclaimed.
"There's no end of them." Renne grumbled.
"How many Corrupted will they throw at us?!" Alear growled
Suddenly, they heard a Wyvern's screech as powerful Wind Magic was blown toward the Corrupted and blow them away.
"Huh?" Amia blinked.
"Good. Looks like we managed to make it in time." A voice called out as they all turn and see Ivy's wyvern landed on her feet as Kagetsu was riding his horse.
"Isn't that Princess Ivy?" Musse asked, looking surprised.
"What are you doing here, Princess Ivy?" Diamant glared.
Ivy answered as she hopped off her Wyvern."I wanted to try, one last time, to change my father's mind. I was too late." She pulls out four Emblem Rings. One Ring was black color with a silver stone, one ring was brown color with a brown jewel, and one ring was golden ring with a white stone. "But I was able to retrieve these rings from Destinea Cathedral."
"Four rings?!" Alcryst gasped
"Well, two of them yes. The other two were given to me. I'll explain after we make our escape. The Ring of the Lady of the Plains, The Ring of the Exalted Princess, Ring of the Bladelord and Ring of the Detective. They're yours."
"Are you absolutely sure about this? Turning against your own country?" Amia asked
"Right now, turning against Elusia is the only way to save it. For my kingdom, for my father, this is the only course of action." Ivy answered with determination. "I know this isn't enough to atone for all I've done, but... will you let me join your side?"
Alear nodded. "Of course I will. Thank you, Princess Ivy." Ivy then hands over the rings to Alear as he takes it. "The Ring of the Lady of the Plains and the Ring of the Bladelord belongs with you, since it was entrusted to Elusia. Which one do you want to wear?"
"Divine one..." Ivy close her eyes but then open them. "Very well. The Ring of the Lady of the Plains."
"All right. Amia." Alear look at her and toss the Ring of the Bladelord and the Detective.
(BGM paused)
"Sweep across, Emblem of Blazing/Test us, Emblem of the Silver Will!" Alear and Amia chanted as the two Emblem Rings glowed

Renne eye widen from Loewe floating. 'It... It really is you...'

"Marth... no, that can't be right." Alear trailed off.
"It is I, Lucina." Emblem Lucina introduce herself. "I may not be the Hero-King, and I cannot replace him. But I can aid you. I strive to be a light in the dark—a light for all who have fallen to despair. For now, we may only escape. But as long as we survive, hope will abide."
"And I'm Lloyd Banning. I'm from the SSS and a detective." Emblem Lloyd introduces himself. "I understand how it feels to suddenly lost everything. But do not give up hope. So long as we stand as one, we will overcome the odds."
"Meow!" Meowscarada came out from hiding from the tree.
"Meowscarada, you'r safe!" Florian sighed of relief.
"Huh? But I thought he was with it." Nemona replied.
"He was but I ask him to do something. How did it go?"
"Meow." Meowscarada pull out an Emblem Ring.
"You got one!"
"Ah!" Alear eye widen. "That's Marth! How did you—"
"Never mind that, Awaken and Engage with him!" Penny argued.
"Right!" Alear nodded. "Amia, here." She toss the Ring of the Exalted Princess to his sister.
"Right!" Amia put on the ring and Emblem Lucina appeared next to her.
"Shine on, Emblem of Beginnings!" Alear chanted and then Marth appeared by his side.
"Nngh.." Emblem Marth groaned.
"Marth!"
"Alear... Everyone... I'm so glad you're safe... Meowscarada managed to take my ring from Zephia. Now I'm back with you."
"Florian, I can't thank you and Meowscarada enough." Alear put on the ring and smiled.
"I'm glad we can help but sadly, Meowscarada couldn't retrieve the other rings." Florian stated.
"We will get the others back. But right now, we must make our escape." Emblem Marth stated
"I have one more *gift* for you, Divine One." Zelkov pull out the Dragonic Time Crystal.
"The Dragonic Time Crystal! How did you manage to get it?" Vander asked
"I... *borrowed* it. While I may not be able to take back the stolen rings like the cat there, perhaps it will help."
"Of course. Thank you." Alear take the Dragonic Time Crystal.
"We must hurry. The Four Hounds will show up at any moment with the Corrupted." Emblem Marth stated
"Right, Come on, let's get out of here!" Alear nodded
"This way. We can travel to Solm through this forest." Ivy pointed at a direction. and everyone nodded.
(BGM ended)
A few minutes later...
"Looks like we've lost them." Ivy sighed.
"Yeah. Thank goodness too..." Clanne agreed.
"As much as I am relieved that we escape, I'm sad that I have to leave Hortensia behind."
"There's too much we're leaving behind." Alcryst lower his head, grasping his horse's rein.
Diamant sighted as he palm face. "Father..."
"It's painful, but we can't turn back now. Otherwise we'll lose everything." Alfred muttered.
"Indeed..." Céline lower her head.
Alear lower his head. "Rean... Everyone... I'm sorry... I'm sorry that I failed you."
"Brother..." Amia look sad.
"..." Marth close his eyes.
Meanwhile with Veyle...
(Kingdom Hearts II ost - Villains of all Sorts)
"So that wretch Icy was screaming against us." Veyle said coldly. "She stole two emblems from right under my nose. And yet... she also gave those spawns of Lumera two other Emblem Rings. How did she get her hands on them? Did she went to Lythos or that flying fortress? No, that doesn't make sense. There's no way she could have make it in time. Something is wrong here. And to make it more irksome, that wretched green cat used the power of nature against my Hounds and even knocked Zephia by surprise and stole the Ring I had her pursue. The nerve of that boy and his cat. Regardless, I still have the advantage. All the rings will be gathered in due time. And when those times happen... I will gut you all and burn down your countries. And since you otherworlders join them your homeworld will too be burned to ashes. I'll be looking forward to crushing your spirits."
"Well, someone turns all evil and sinister."
"Who's there?!" Veyle turn her head and then a magic circle appeared and came out was Mariabell.
"Why hello there, Veyle." Mariabell greeted.
"Hm? Who are you?"
"Really? It's only been a day and you've already forgotten about me? I'm hurt. By the way, I love what you did with your eyes."
"We just met and you claim to have met me?" Veyle raised an eyebrow. "Wait... Ooh I see. You met the Defect."
"Defect?"
"The weak pathetic other me." Veyle clarified.
"Oooh, so you have a split personality. In that case, please forget and my hello to you. Who am I greeting right now?" Maiabell asked with a dark grin.
"You already know my name woman. Now, who are you or I will take it as an enemy." Veyle's hand swirl with dark magic.
"Temper, temper. Very well. I am Mariabell Crois. You can think of me as a foreigner."
"You mean you're like those Otherworlders from the Mushroom Kingdom, or Zemruia that are with the Divine Dragons twins?"
"Otherworlders you say? How interesting. But you are correct. I am indeed from another world. Don't worry your pretty head. Speaking off, can we move elsewhere? I rather not talk out here in the rain while my hair and dress will get wet."
"Hmph. If you insist."
(BGM ended)
Meanwhile with the heroes...
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - A Dragon who saved the World)
"I can't believe that Veyle is actually Sombron's Daughter..." Arvel sighed.
"Neither can I, and yet I can confirm that she is Sombron's Daughter." Mona said as she finished with her scryglass. "I just did a divination on her. She was born 1000 years ago. But her past is...heartrending."
"It matters not what Veyle's past is. She's Sombron's daughter and she took our Emblem Rings from us." Amia pointed out.
"Yeah..." Alear clench his fist. "I'm sorry everyone. We should have listened to the Emblems, Mona and Musse and never should have gone into the cathedral."
"No Divine Ones. It's not your fault." Alfred shook his head.
"Prince Alfred is right. The fault lies with me. I'm the one who should apologize and encourage you to go into the cathedral. I was the one who ask you to let me fight. And I was so angry about what they'd done..." Diamant grumbled
"What about me?" Alcryst asked, lowering his head in shame. "I'm the one who wanted to return Father to Brodia and prevented his fate of becoming Sombron's lunch."
"That was illogical." Ivy agreed.
"Excuse me?! If you haven't gotten in the way."
"Hey, everyone calm down. Bickering at each other through isn't going to help." Shez stated. "Besides, Ivy was ordered by her father who is king. What would happen if any one of us were in her shoes."
"Even so, it was her fault that we didn't make it in time! We might have saved him and altered his fate!" Alcryst argued
"That's enough Alcryst." Diamant told him.
"But Diamant—"
"It was Princess Ivy who told us about the ritual in the first place. Without her help, Father would still be one of those creatures."
"But she helped kill our father! Why are you making excuses for her?"
"Princess Ivy's not to blame—her father was. And the Fell Dragon murdered him. There wasn't even a body left behind."
"He's right Alcryst. As loath am I to admit it." Cirtinne agreed.
"Ngh..." Alcryst hold his right arm and look sad and slowly begin to sob. "Ngh... *sob*..."
"Please forgive my brother Princess Ivy. He spoke out of turn." Diamant apologized
"No, it's all right. I am sorry that I couldn't stop the ritual.." Ivy replied.
"I just... I can't bear the thought that I'll never see him again. And the ring he spent his whole life protecting? Gone." Alcryst sniffed.
"Hey guys, listen." Juna said. "I know that things are tough right now. Especially losing our friends, our loves ones. But the Emblem are not dead, right? We can still take them back."
"Juna's right. We will take the Emblems back." Amia agreed.
"That's Right." Emblem Lyn appeared. "You still have Emblems on your side."
"She's right. Don't forget about us." Emblem Lucina agreed.
"All is far from lost." Emblem Lloyd appeared. "We can offer our unique strengths as Emblems."
Emblem Loewe appeared next. "You may have lost the fight. But the battle continues. You don't lose by retreating."
"You can still challenge your fate. No matter those are odd as well." Emblem Lucina agreed.
"She's right." Emblem Marth appeared next and nodded. "What we're doing now is retreating. Even losing a battle holds meaning."
"But what meaning is that if we run away?" Alear asked.
"Did I say we were running away?"
"Nope. He did not." Emblem Lyn said.
"Right. There's a difference between running away and retreating." Emblem Lloyd smiled.
"Time and again, you've shown true bravery, even in the face of daunting odds. But refusing to move on... That's not bravery. It's folly."
"There's courage. And there's stubbornness. Lumera would have taught you the difference."
"Why not go to her and ask her yourself. Right now. Not only she's worried about you and everyone else. But she also felt Sombron's return. It would be wise to let her know." Emblem Loewe cross his arm.
"You're right. You know... I think I understand what Marth was telling me back at the Cathedral. We're not running away—we're stepping back. Gathering our strength for the next battle. I'll become a better fighter—a better leader. I'll make sure no one—not one more person— lose their life under my command. And I'll bring back our friends the Emblems." Alear declared
"Yeah! But Brother. You're not doing this alone either. You're not the only leader too. So am I." Amia told him.
"Yeah. You're right." Alear nodded as the Dragon Twins turn to everyone.
"Everyone, are you with us?"
"Of course!" Florian smirked. "Let's turn the tables on them and kick their ass!"
"I won't rest until we reclaim what we've lost." Diamant sworn.
"Yeah, we won't let them win this battle!" Juna agreed.
"I will help too. If you have me." Ivy said.
"Thank you everyone." Amia smiled. "All right, first things first. We need to return to the Somniel and inform Mother Immediately."
"After we rest up. We're heading to the Queendom of Solm." Alear nodded as he open a portal to the Somniel. "Let's go everyone." He said as they headed to the portal.
(BGM ended)
Upon returning, Queen Lumera was waiting for them.
"Ah, you've returned!" Lumera said with concern.
"Mother..." Alear lower his head.
"Alear? What's wrong?"
"Mother... we have a lot to report..." Amia said.
Originally, I was going to have Emblem Marth still being Corrupted by Sombron's dark magic. But I recalled Meowscarada can learn the move Thief so I thought, "Why not take one of the rings back?" So boom! Marth is back... but sadly, the others fell into Sombron's hands. And learn that Veyle is Sombron's daughter. Yet they've fail to notice Veyle's eyes change color. But some notice.
But now Mariabell is making her move... What is she planning now?
