"Hello, Aether. Is there something you need?" Roselia asked
"Nope. But I wanted to say hi. Along with another dear friend." Aether smiled.
"Another dear friend?"
"Hello, Rose." Emblem Arianrhod greeted.
"..! That voice...!" Roselia gasped as her eyes widen as Emblem Arianrhod reveal her face.
"It can't be... Lianne?! N-No... That's... impossible! I was there when she left! Aether! What is the meaning of this!"
"I'm just as shocked as you are. But the truth is, this is Emblem Lianne. Not the Lianne we know." Aether explained.
"Emblem... what?" Roselia asked
"It is as Aether said. I am not the same Lianne you know. I am a spirit who bares her imitation who was summoned to the world of Elyos." Emblem Arianrhod said. "Even so, I possess both her memories and her personality."
"W-Wait a second! This is just too much. Where exactly are you Aether? I want to see this for myself!" Roselia demand.
"I thought as much but. Head to Smash Bros Castle and ask one of the Fighters to guide you to the portal that leads to a world called Elyos."
"Very well. If I find out this is a prank Aether, you will face my consaqueses!" Roselia declared and she hang up.
"I thought as much." Aether let out a small chuckled.
"Indeed. I can imagine her shock when we meet." Emblem Arianrhod nodded
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - The Twelve Stars)
Everyone were teleported to a large space area within the ruins where Crow took his trial as an Awakener to Oridine. The setting was an azure blue like ruins with crystals lighting up the room. A stone door was seen at the back.
"This place..." Emma looking around surprised.
"First Legram, and now this?" Celine asked
"You guys know this place?" Amia asked as Emblem Crow appeared.
"Well, I'll be... This looks like an Awakener Trial." Emblem Crow mused, looking around.
"An Awakener Trial?" Amia asked.
"It's a trial where potential Awakeners will pilot Giant legendary powerful mechanical Knights called Divine Knights. This looks like Cayenne's secret training ground. Where I became an Awakener to Ordine." Emblem Crow explain.
"Ordine is one of the Divine Knights?" Alear asked.
"Yeah. Ordine is one of my best friends. He also fragments a great power that fell into humanity. The Divine Knights have two creators, the ones who created the vessel are Kin of Earth called the Gnomes. While the Kin of Fire called the Hexen Clan were the ones who split the power of each vessel. Vita was the one who guided me here to become Ordine's Awakener. Heh. How curious for this place to be our trial." Emblem Crow turn to everyone. "Alear, Amia. It's time for us to battle."
"A battle, right now?" Amia asked.
"Yeah. If you win the trail, our bonds will grow stronger."
"Got it. Then we're prepared to fight." Amia nodded
"That's the spirit. Then don't hold back!" Emblem Crow smirked as he palm fist.
"U-Um." Alcryst raised his hand. "Divine Ones... Crow. Is... Is it all right that I join too?" Alcryst asked
"I would like to join as well." Diamant request.
"Sure, why not?" Emblem Crow said. "Anyone else?"
"I'm tempted but that would be overkill." Mona said.
"Yeah, we'll just watch from here." Shez nodded in agreement.
Emblem Crow sweatdrop. "I feel like I'm gonna be popular is beating the shit out of me. Anyway, Let's go!" He said as he took off while the others waited.
(BGM ended)
They arrived at the perfect place for their battle.
"All right! This will do the trick." Emblem Crow turn to face Alear and the others and pull out his Double Saber.
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Keeper of History)
"Just so you know, I ain't gonna hold back. I'm gonna pull out all the stops. If you can't take me down with all I got, you got no chance of pushing through to the next level."
"Yeah. I know that you're not the type to joke around in fights like this. Which is kinda ironic since you're so laidback to us." Alear readied his sword with Amia and Diant while Alcryst got out his bow.
"Heh. Think of me as a cool older brother figure who wanna bring some nice casual and mischief-like to you when it comes to teachin' you life lessons. But right now is another lesson you must learn from this. This world or any other sunshine and rainbows. The world itself has their own secrets. I've seen plenty in mine. And each one has some dangers and villains. I wanna see if you two got what it takes to handle them. Now, show me the strength you have to take them head on!"

"No one can predict the outcome no predict the future Alcryst. And don't let some prejudice comments even get to you as well." Emblem Crow swirl his double saber and take his stand. "No matter what people say, you're a fine prince of Brodia. Diamant and your father believe in you. Just as I do. One of your greatest strength isn't just archery but the kindness you shown. Never forget that."
"Crow..." Alcryst pause as Emblem Crow lung and slashed him, but he backflip and fire an arrow to attack him as a counterattack. "All this time you help me becoming more and more calm and clearing doubts in my mind, and even teaching me some new self-defense techniques. Thank you for watching over me.

(BGM ended)
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - A Beacon of Light Awake)
Emblem Crow floated back to his feet. "Congrats. You beaten me fair and square. It reminded me when Rean kick me ass. What a proud feeling it was."
"Rean defeated you? Was he also an Awakener?" Alear asked, rolling his arms from the fight.
"Yeah. Oh yeah, he never mention that, did he?" Emblem Crow nodded his head. "Remember I said there were seven Divine Knights. Valimar was Rean's Pilot. His personality was different from Ordine."
"Divine Knight have their own personalities?" Amia asked
"Yeah. But each Divine Knight have their own abilities. Mine boosts his power while Valimar can make second contractors. Rean was kinda a a rabbits foot. Always have some sort of good luck to that goodie-two shoes personality. That what attracts people to him. On his trial, he has his friends, Old Class VII take the trial with him. While me, I had to do it myself. But it was all for the sake of Vita's plan for Ouroboros. Piloting a Divine Knight is both a blessing and a curse. Literally. But I'm grateful for Vita for guiding me to Ordine."
"What do you mean a blessing and a curse?" Alear asked
"Becoming an Awakener to a Divine Knight means you're force to participate in a ritual called the Rivalry of the Seven. Or Rivalries for short. It's a ritual for Divine Knights to duke each other out until one is the victor while the other gets absorbed by the victor. Back to a place called the Infernal Castle, Vita was trying to make the presudo-Rivalry to keep the curse in check. But... it didn't end well because of my benefactor. Cayenne. He was a scummy son of a bitch. He force Cedric into a Divine Knight who was tainted by Erebonian Curse, awakening a monster called the Vermillion Apocalypse. Everyone fought hard to defeat it. In the end, we managed to rescue Prince Cedric, but it cause me my life."
"Crow..."
"I was at death's door until my new boss—Bowser save my life. Literally. He granted me a second chance. And I serve him proudly to repay for what he did. Let me ask you something. If any of your friends, or even love ones like Lumera were to lose their lives in this war, would you keep going for their sake?"
"It... pains me to even think about losing Mother..." Amia rub her left arm. "But... if they did... I would keep fighting until the bitter end. Not just for Mother's sake. But for everyone."
"Yeah. It's like what happened with Diamant and Alcryst. They've lost their Father. But they kept going for his sake. Because he believes in them to look after Brodia. If Mother were to die in our arms or on her death bed... I want to fulfill their wish to protect the world she love and live in. As well as its people. Keep moving forward."
"Keep moving forward. I couldn't put it better myself." Emblem Crow smiled. "For some reason, that phase hold powerful meaning. Almost makes a person cry or inspire, no matter the difficulties lies ahead. Know this you two. No matter what life throws at you, be it heartbreaking and difficulty. Always move forward and never forget the people who were left behind or left this world. Their souls will find peace and even their spirits will support you in the darkest of times."
"You're right." Alear smiled, nodding his head with a smile. "I won't lose any of my friends today or tomorrow. And if we lose them somewhere along the way... I will keep moving forward, for their sake too. And when the war is over, they will find peace at long last. So let's keep fighting Crow. So that we can see this peaceful world together."
'Together." Emblem Crow nodded as he and Alear fist pump.
"Guess that's means Crow's trial is done." Mona said as she and everyone approached.
"Yeah. I think we should call this a break everyone. We can continue on with the next Emblems Trial tomorrow." Alear advised.
"That's a good idea. Come on. Let's head off to bed everyone." Amia nodded as she open a portal to the Somniel and they took off for tomorrow.

Dateline December 10 1206...
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - The Twelve Stars)
The heroes teleported to a large area that resembles the Lunar Sanctuary.
Emma gasped.
"You got to be kidding..." Celine muttered.
"Judging from both of your respond. This is another place that reminded you of your world?" Amia asked as Emblem Levi appeared.
"Yeah. This place is the Lunar Sanctuary. Or at least an imitation of it." Emblem Levi nodded.
"First was a look-a-like with Legram, then the Azure Trial... and now the Lunar Sanctuary? This is part of the Hexen Clan's property." Emma said.
"Ah. I remember this lovely place. It was the pinnacle of astrology." Mona sighed with joy.
"And this is also we learn the truth behind everything that happen within Erebonia too." Emblem Levi nodded. "And... to find out who I really am."
"Who you really are?" Alear asked
"It was a very long story. Among the humans of Zemuria, I thought my family and I are the only ones capable of possessing powers and magic. I never understand it. And my Grand—My brother... was hiding secrets from me. Along with my other family members. Who would have guess this place would be where we will conduct our trial. You see. In order to find out the cause of Erebonia since ancient time, Emma's Grandmother—Roselia, the Crimson Witch made preparations for the trial to use the artifact that pass down through the Hexen Clan for generation. The Spectral Moon Mirror. This artifacts operate together with another Artifact called the Black Records will reveal information that not even she herself is aware. From there, we learn the truth behind it all and behind the scenes. And... the origin of who I am." Emblem Levi turn to Alear and Amia. "Alear, Amia. It's time we face each other in battle. This trial will test our bonds. If you emerge victorious, our bonds will grow stronger. And my power will be unlocked to you."
"I understand. Then we'll give it our all."
"Um, Divine One. Can me and Framme join too?" Clanne asked.
"Yeah. I mean we did take turns with his ring. We wanted to thank him while fighting him.' Framme request
"Of course. That's all right you, right, Levi?" Amia asked
"Of course. Remember not to hold back. Because I will put up a fierce fight." Emblem Levi winked as he turn his back. "Okay, follow me." He said as they headed to a larger area where the others recovered.

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Keeper of History)
"Okay, this spot will do. How fitting where we face Roselia here." Emblem Levi turn his back and then his Emblem Horse appeared next to him as he climb up and readied for battle. "Do you remember the first time we met?"
"How can we forget. Mother kept your Ring safe during the attack at Lythos Castle. You were one of the strongest Emblems according to her. And she was right. This will be a difficult fight." Alear answered.
"It takes through countless battles for one to become difficult. You been through many to make it that far. You two only woke up and you were forced to swing your sword. But now you two became capable leaders to guide us. I want you to show me those experience yourself of how much you've grown into your role. Can you do that?"
"Of course." Amia nodded. "We will fight you from all that we learn from you and everyone else who taught us."
"Even War itself is a teacher." Emblem Levi summon his Glaive and swirl overhead.

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - A Beacon of Light Awake)
Emblem Levi disappeared with his Emblem Horse and reappear, rubbing his shoulder.
"That was quite the fight. You guys did it." Emblem Levi smile.
"Hah... No wonder you're the Emblem of Light." Alear panted. "It was enough to blind anyone with it."
"The same can be said of darkness. Which is why primordial forces must exist to balance each other. Both are very important to each other. It's a very important lesson on how the world works... no... the Universe. But that's a lesson for another time. Did you notice anything different about my power?"
"Hmm... I don't think so." Amia said. "What do you think, Brother?"
"I can't think of anything." Alear answered.
"Make sure you pay close attention to your opponents and the environment. It's a very important lesson in battle and in life. My powers resembles that of White Magic. However, I have the ability to control light itself."
"You can control light?"
Emblem Levi nodded. "Yes. I can control all manners of Elements but light is something I'm more proficient at. My power can banish evil. Unlike some of my fellow Emblems, my powers are different. Including who I am."
"What do you mean by that?" Amia asked.
"Some of my friends knew this secret. But are sworn to secrecy. Many of them Emblem are humans... while I'm... not."
"You're not human?"
"Yes. The form you see now is my vessel to match that of humans to set limits to my powers and magic. Can I trust you to keep this secret?"
"Of course. We swore we won't let anyone else know." Amia nodded. "So what's this secret?"
"I'm actually a Titan."
"A Titan?"
"Gods to be precise."
"Wha—?!" Alear eye widen. "You're a god?"
"Yes. I'm nothing like humans, dragons or even some of the gods throughout the universe. I'm a titan who's the son of the primordial god of the universe. The creator of all. Many eons ago, I was one of the gods in Zemuria in the ancient past. But... I sacrifice myself to stop a war caused by my siblings. My father punish my siblings and had them take good care of me and raise me. I was asleep for a very long time until my body heals. When I woke up. I was like an infant. I never knew my past life until later on in life. The very trial of the artifact shows us a vision of the Great Twilight. I owe my friends for helping me discover the truth what I am. But... even though I am a Titan, they didnt' care. Because they see me... as me. The same Levi who been with them, friends with them and many more." Emblem Levi smiled. "That's why I love my friends. I love the world that they were born in. That's why I swore to protect it from threats that will endanger all existence in life. Just like now with Sombron. I want to protect this world from the evil he spark. So what I'm saying is... it doesn't matter if you're a Divine Dragon or human, or even a god among you. Everyone who knows you and been with you throughout your life and adventures will treat you the same, no matter what you are. That shows the power of our bonds are. It's a beautiful thing, isn't it?"
"Yeah, you're right." Amia smiled. "Everyone who journey with us, they're all our important friends. We're dragons but we're treated as equals, as friends. That's why we want to protect this world too."
"Always treasure the bonds you have. The bonds with your true friends. They're your greatest treasure."
"We will." Alear smiled. "And we'll treasure our friendship with you too Levi."
"Thanks you guys." Emblem Levi smiled. "With that, my trial is done."
"Yeah. Let's take a break and then we can move on to the next Emblem."
(BGM ended)
One Break later...
Everyone then arrived at a temple that resembles the Holy Tomb in Fodlan.
"Ooh. What is this place?" Musse asked. "It has a mysterious mystical vibe here."
"A bit too much green if you ask me." Ash said. "Hey Chrom, why not break the place?"
"Do I look like some jackhammer to you?" Emblem Chrom groaned.
"Oh look. There's a throne over there." Juna pointed.
"What's with the throne? Wait, are those caskets?" Arven asked, "Wait, are we in a tomb or something?!"
"Yes." Emblem Byleth appeared
"Ah! Byleth! You surprise me!"
"Sorry about that, Arven. Getting back to topic. This place resembles the Holy Tomb. That's a place back in my world in Fodlan."
"The Holy Tomb? Is it a place important to the Church of Seiros?" Altina asked.
Emblem Byleth nodded. "Yes. It is the holiest place for the Church of Seiros. It was said this is where the Goddess Sothis sleeps. To ensure the safety of the tomb, a monastery was built atop it. Only a very few know the legend of Saint Seiros and the Holy Tomb. Saint Serros received power and revelation from the goddess and, with it, a sacred duty. She was to save the people of Fodlan, and use her power wisely in order to lead them. But in truth, Serios is actually someone I know and a child to the Goddess Sothis. Sothis created this tomb to protect her children while she use her power to heal the land. Fodlan greatest enemies, the Agarthans were the most vile, sinister and sinful group. They've commit several inhumane actions and believe they themselves as gods because of the wisdom they abuse from Sothis. When defeated them, they hid underground, seeking vengeance against her. When Sothis exhausted her power, she rested on the Holy Tomb to sleep and heal. That's when a terrible tragic that shook Seiros... Rhea to her soul. The Agarthans sent a bandit name Nemesis to infiltrate the Holy Tomb and killed Sothis."
"Nemesis killed Sothis?" Alear gasped.
"He did. He even took her corpse to the Agarthans where they dismantle her very corpse, her heart and bones into a weapon. And gave Nemesis to drink her blood."
"Oooh..." Penny grimaced "I think I'm going to be sick."
"That's... That's just wrong in every vocabulary!" Florian exclaimed
"Are we also going to ignore the fact those... Agar something kill a Goddess?" Arven asked, grimacing. "I thought Gods can't be killed."
"Even Gods can be killed if the circumstances have met." Emma said. "Sothis exhausted her body to heal Fodlan. It made her vulurable, enough to weaken her immortality to match that of humans."
"When those vile creatures turn Sothis's own corpse into a weapon, they gave Nemesis her blood to wield it to match its power. Her divine blood grants a power incarnation called Crest." Celine continued and then Emblem Claude, Dimitri and Edelgard appeared.
"Allow us to assist." Emblem Edelgard said. "Crests are said in Fodlan to be a blessing from the Goddess. But in truth, they were actually blood from Sothis's children called the Nabateian. Nemesis used the weapon called the Sword of the Creator to slaughter Sothis's children indiscriminately. And gave it to the Agarthand for Nemesis subordinates—The Ten Elites and grant them crests and weapons."
"Many weapons were forged from their bones. They are called Heroes Relic because they possess immense power from Sothis's children. While the bones of Sothis's children were made into weapons like my lance, Areadbar is one of them. Same with Claude's Bow Failnaught." Emblem Dimitri continued
"But in each weapon possess a Crest Stone which is actually Sothis's children's heart. Without the crest stone attach to it, they can't wield its power. It's just a regular weapon." Emblem Claude nodded
"In the end, Nemesis was dub the Liberaion King. And Seiros seek to avenge her mother and her people. She gather allies. My ancestor—Wilheim was her companion who founded the Adrestian Empire. But let's save the history lesson for another time." Emblem Edelgard said. "If this place is brought here Professor, that means..."
"Yes." Emblem Byleth nodded. "It's inevitable that we'd be guided here."
"You mean... this is another trial?" Amia asked.
"Yes. If the bond between us is to further strengthen, then you must face a trial here. Alear, Amia. Show me whether you can wisely use the power you've gained on your journey so far."
Alear and Amia nodded their heads.

Always know where your enemies are. And depending on the wielder, power can be used for good or evil with equal ease. That's why the heart of the one controlling the power is important."
"The Heart." Alear trailed off as he close his eyes. "That would mean..."
"Yeah..." Amia nodded her head. "Our heart determines how the power is used..." She take her stands as Combat links are formed.

"Phew... thank you..." Alear panted. "That battle took a lot out of me."
"Seriously. I'm not sure how we managed to win." Amia agreed.
"It is thanks to the lessons you learn during the fights and you learn from your friends. The two of you perform magnificently. With this victory, the trial is passed." Emblem Byleth smiled
"Well we certainly learn a lot battling from you. It's no wonder Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude idolize you and became powerful fighters." Alear said.
Emblem Byleth chuckled. "Thank you, but just like them your skills along with Amia are quite strong even before we met."
"But even so, you've taught us so many things. It's no wonder you're an excellent teacher."
"That's kind of you to say. Though it helps that you two have such raw skill already. All I need do is listen and give a little nudge to those embarking on a path. Your success here is the direct result of all the choices you two have made before today."
"You know something, I often think that one choice leads to another, but... there are times I worried about the wrong choices we make." Amia said.
"Yeah, I get what you're saying. Even I worried about that." Alear sighed.
"You two needn't worry at all. By passing this trial, you've shown the truth of who you two are." Emblem Byleth smiled. "And you have your allies to set you right... should you ever begin to stray. Remmeber, I will always be by your side as well. To the very end."

"So even Hamel has been place here. Well... a Village that looks like it at least." Renne said.
"Hamel?" Alear asked as Emblem Loewe appeared.
"So even Hamel has a look-alike. How heart-rending." Emblem Lowew sighed.
"Why's that?" Amia asked
"Hamel was a village to where me, Joshua and Ash were born in... before it all turn to cinders."
"What?" Alear eye widen.
"It was all part of an evil conspiracy that lead to a war with the nation called Liberl. The officers of the Imperial Army of Erebonia were consumed by their own weakness because commoners are rising the ranks. They came up with a plan to gain them glory. But instead, it let them to their downfall."
"You mean to say that this Impeiral Army slaughters their own people?" Alear asked in shock.
"It's not an easy thing to accept." Renne approached as Emblem Estelle and Emblem Joshua appeared.
"Right. But Erebonia, nor the Imperial Officers were to blame. It was the fault of the darkness that plagued Erebonia since it existed." Emblem Estelle said
"Yeah. Because of that, I lost my older sister because of that vile curse." Emblem Joshua nodded.
"How awful..." Amia clenched. "This curse cause people to massacre their own people. It's... unheard of..."
"Like I said, they were driven by their weakness, and the devil who whisper into their ears. Hiring Jaeger droplots, planting Liberian weapons, and making sure no one who knew the truth must be silence by killing them. I despite Erebonia. I despite the world that I've live in." Emblem Loewe turn to Alear and Amia. "Raise your weapons both of you."
"Huh? Why?" Alear asked
"For entering this place, you evoke a trial. And I'm that trial. If you overcome this trial, my bond with you will grow stronger. And more of my power will be available to you to wield."
"I..." Alear shook his head. "We understand. We'll fight you with everything we've got."
"In that case, Divine Ones. May I join the fight as well?" Ivy asked. "The Ring of the Bladelord was entrusted to Elusia. I wanted to test something for myself."
"Yeah, I wanna join the fight too. Emblem Loewe is the second strongest Emblem. And if you need my helping magic, then you got it." Hortensia agreed
"Of course. Will that be okay, Loewe?" Alear asked
"Not a problem. You're going to need it regardless. Come. Never let your guard down, nor hesitate." Emblem Loewe said as they headed to a large space.

"As Divine Dragons to Elyos, you met many people, including their kings and Queens. What do you see in them?" Emblem Loewe asked
"Many of them are kind. They're good people."
"And what of Elusia? A Nation that workship your greatest enemy? As as Hyacinth. The King who was betrayed by his own "god?" Do you believe this world has a future?"
"I..."
"The world itself isn't sunshine and rainbows. I learn that the hard way. No matter the world we live in, there are always lies and deceit from both people and the world itself. It was filled with corruption."
"And you believe that I... and many others are like the people in your world?" Alear asked
"That is where I will find out." Emblem Loewe said as he took his stand.

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - A Beacon of Light Emerge)
Alear and Emblem Marge unmarge as Alear fell to his knees.
'Ha... Ha..!" Alear panted as Amia and Emblem Rean also unmerge as Hortenia and Ivy appeared to heal them with Mend. "That was... way to close for comfort..."
"Looks like you pass. Well done." Emblem Loewe teleported to him.
"They don't call you the Bladelord for nothing. Your skills with the sword is unparalleled." Amia panted. "We've learn so much swordplay from you."
"You both have great potential, just as your allies. With that, I can conclude that this world is in the right hands." Emblem Loewe smiled.
"In the right hands?" Alear asked.
"Back in my world. Hamel was born in Erebonia. I used to believe in justice. When my village was attacked. I led Joshua and his sister, Karin who was the woman I love to safety. I was going to hold the Jaeger dropouts off but... one of them launched a surprise attack on Joshua and Karin. Karin sacrifices herself to save Joshua. She died by his hand."
"That's... really awful..."
"It was. No matter how much I tried to convince the Imperial Officers, they didn't believe me. That's when I met an official from Ouroboros name Campanella. He was the one who showed me the world's corruption and weakness. My view of the world has shattered, my belief... my justice... it was all nothing but lies. That's when I join Ouroboros, to take my anger out on the world. Joshua was a little brother to me. And he was the younger brother to the woman I've loved. I had to take care of him and teach him the way of the sword to survive. But... his mind was broken because of what happened at Hamel. One of Ouroboros Anguis... no... formal Anguis named Wiessman use his Hypnosis technique to "cure" Joshua. But his motive was to use him as a weapon. I greatly despise him for it."
"I can't say I'm blame you. But what happened to Weissman?" Amia asked.
"He is dead. The world is better off without him. I also died on that very day. But... I'm proud to see that Joshua was rounded by friends and love ones who help him evolve and broke him out of the shackles that bind him. I'm very proud of Joshua. I'm Karin is too." Emblem Loewe close his eyes, letting out a smile. "Just as I am with you two. This world is in safe hands with you two watching over Elyos with just and fairly."
"Thank you, Emblem Loewe." Alear smiled. "That means a lot to us. I hope you can still be our ally in the end."
"Of course. My sword is yours to command. We should be on our way."
"Right." Alear nodded. "Oh, that reminds me something. Isn't Noel also your pupil?"
"Yes. Noel was also a victim with the ways of Erebonia. As pity, I took him under my wing to learn the arts of the sword. He's a sensitive child. But seeing him reminded me of my time with Joshua. He thought of me as an Older brother. One that he wish to have since his formal family was one of the corrupted. Noel really has chance along with Joshua. I'm sure we'll see him again."
"Me too. I wonder what he's doing right now." Alear wondered.

"This is the first time we'll face each other, huh Emma?" Emblem Levi asked. "Although I kinda nervous about going overboard with you."
"I can understand. But I wouldn't underestimate me, Levi. I may not be flexible or skilled as you are, but my magic will level the playing field."
"In that case, I won't hold back. But be careful what you wish for, Emma."
Juna vs Emblem Levi
"I can see the determination you got in those eyes, Juna." Emblem Levi smiled
"Of course, why wouldn't I be? I was not able to give up, and even encourage the other members of Class VII without your help. You help me to become strong, so I want to repay you back by giving it everything I've got!" Juna smirked
"You did most of the heavy work, Juna. But seeing my proud student brings tears to my eyes."
Kurt Vs Emblem Levi
"There were times that I was lost during my time in Thors. Both you and Instructor Rean help me clear those thoughts. But now... A new doubt appeared in my mind..." Kurt said solemn.
"You're concerned about Cedric, aren't you Kurt?" Emblem Levi asked.
"Yes. I've finally found him... only for him to slip away. The "Cedric" I know is dead he says..."
"What happened at the Great Twilight left an impact on him, Kurt. As his friend, it is up to you to comfort him and save him from the "darkness" he gain from it. Do not let doubt cloud your mind. Fight on to bring your friend back from even the deepest depths of the heart."

"And you will. Time for you to show the world what you're made off."
Venti Vs Emblem Levi
"Fighting you like this, I'm reminded of those ancient times when you used use to spare with Zhongli." Venti smiled.
"And what ancient times are you talking about, Venti?" Emblem Levi asked
"Oh you know, when we were beyond what mortals can accomplished."
"Riiight. But I remember you were a drunkard. Well, maybe it's time for the responsible sibling to take those boozes of yours away!"
Musse vs Emblem Levi
"Your rifle skills have improved well Musse. As well as your magical prowess." Emblem Levi remarked. "You've been working hard for both your friends and yourself. All for more than one reason, no?"
"Indeed. Although much unrest still lies within Erebonia, I will do what I can to quell them. And when that time comes, I hope I can help Erebonia be reborn." Musse said.
"And you will, Musse. But never forget you have Ash, and us. Now show me what you have as a person."
Ash Vs Emblem Levi
"You've grown a lot, Ash. And yet despite all that, you're still clinging on to the painful part of you. I can tell you're having a hard time accepting it." Emblem Levi said
"Yeah. That will always be burn into my mind. It's something I will live with." Ash sighed. "Wait, why am I telling you about that?"
"Haha! I may be an Emblem, but it's still my job as your Class VII assistant. I will help you get through this Ash. So that you can enjoy the life that preserve you. With friends at your side."
Emma vs Emblem Crow
"The trial for Emblems to deepen their bonds to awaken more of their power. It's no different from our other trials but... I can't help but feel nostalgic Crow." Emma said
"I know what you mean. This isn't the first, but it ain't gonna be the last either. This is kinda our story, ain't it Emma?" Emblem Crow asked
"Pretty much. But let's focus on the fight, right Crow?"
"Right. Give it your all, Emma."
Shez Vs Emblem Crow
"This will pretty much be like our Sparing match, Crow. Except that you're all glowly and floating. You sure you can put up a good fight?" Shez asked
"Ha! Who do you think you're talking to, Shez? Doesn't matter if I can fight on my feet, horseback or just float like a ghost, I can still fight you like we do with our king. The question you should be asking is, are ya ready to lose?"
"Hah! As if I'll lose this time!"
Arval vs Emblem Crow
"I see you gain some muscles in that slim body of yours Arval. Been working out as usual I see." Emblem Crow smirked
"I've always been working out Crow. I always have. So the question is are you ready to face me?" Arval asked, giving Emblem Crow a narrowed look.
"Looks like I triggle the "don't underestimat me" look. Let's see what you got, Arval."
Mona vs Emblem Crow
"How many times this is going to our bout, Crow?" Mona wondered "I've lost many times during our time in Bowser's Castle."
"Why keeping the scores, Mona? Wait, unless you bet that you can beat me." Emblem Crow chuckled.
"Please, as if I would lower myself to a Gamble with no luck."
"Ouch. That one stings. All right, guess I'll make you take back your words.'
Renne vs Emblem Arianrhod
"I honestly don't like the idea of facing you, Steel Maiden. I prefer that we enjoy ourselves for a cup of tea." Renne said.
"That would be an excellent thing for a break. But I wanted to see how much you grown as well, Renne. Will you care to enlighten me?" Emblem Arianrhod asked
"All right, but try to hold back. You're much to strong for me."
Renne vs Emblem Loewe...
"Facing you like this... I'm reminded of the time back in the Recluse Cube... But here, you stand as one of the heroes of this world. I'm glad to see and meet you again after all this time." Renne smiled.
"You've grown much as well as change Renne. You may be a little spoiled, but I'm glad to see how mature you become after all that." Emblem Loewe said. "And yet, you still have much to do, don't you?"
"Yes. One of them is to show you how much I've grown. So let's get ready, Loewe."
