Dateline: December 5, 1206...
(Pokemon Colosseum ost - News)
"Breaking news! Rean Schwarzer, Levi Sullivan of Thors Branch Campus along with Crow Armbrust of the Koopa Troops, Prince Olivert of Erebonia, Elliot Craig, son of Imperial General Craig the Red, Crossbell hero policeman: Lloyd Bannings, The Divine Blade of Wind Arios and Famous Bracer Duo Estelle and Joshua Bright has gone missing for a two days. Rean Schwarzer along with his colleague Levi Sullivan has last been seen at Thor's Branch Campus Dormitory before mysteriously disappearing without a trace. Crow Armbrust's case was he was last seen in his house with his wife Morgan Armbrust, while the Bracer duo was the last scene staying at their family home. We ask Principal Aurelia Le Quin, along with Mrs. Armbrust, The Imperial Family, General Craig, the SSS, and Lieutenant General Bright of Liberl Royal Army, General Craig, The Imperial Family about their whereabouts and what they have to say."
"It's rather mysterious how Schwarzer and Sullivan never made their appearance. I questioned the students who last saw them and they reported the same thing. They all saw them back at the dormitory. And the locals reported that neither have seen them, even at very late night." Aurelia rubs her chin as she looks very mad but also shows concern.
"Who has been teaching their classes during their time of absence?"
"The other Instructors, myself have been substituting them. Frankly, if Schwarzer were to be sick, then Sullivan would teach as his support assistant, as the other goes way around. Seeing both of them vanish is unlike them."
"Levi is a magic user correct, could it be possible he and Rean teleport somewhere?"
"If that were the case, they would come to me or at least come into contact with me and explain the situation. However, no such messages have been delivered. Like I said, it's unlike them to leave without saying a word to me or the Chief Instructor."
"I was in bed with my husband. We both wake up at the same time when his alarm clock kicks in. It is very odd how he wasn't there. I assume he was at work early… which is strange, to be honest. When he didn't return home, I contacted Bowser and any of his friends and colleagues and neither of them had seen him ever since. I'm really worried about him. He never left without saying a word." Morgan said, looking worried
"Could it be possible that Crow went somewhere he was gambling?"
"If he was, I would definitely know about it. He usually goes to Luigi's Casino. But for other gamblings such as racehorses and such, only a select few would. However, neither of them seen him."
"Olivert's disappearance shocked us. I felt a chill down my spine when we heard Rean Schwarzer, Levi Sullvain, Crow Armbrust, and many others. Olivert does explore the world, however, he normally sends words and is accompanied by his bodyguard, Muller Vander. But I believe Olivert is fine and he will show up. Of course, it also concerns his Fiance as well. I pray to Aidios he comes back home safe." Eugent said
"I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR AN INTERVIEW! MY SON IS MISSING!" Craig yelled shaking the cameraman. "MOBLIEZE THE FIFTH ARMORED DIVISION AND SEARCH FOR MY SON!"
"Now now Dad. That's a little too far." Fiona carefully pushed her father away while Neithardt palmface, shook his head with a sigh.
"Lloyd is never the type to disappear. We have been searching for a week and we haven't found anything. Randy, Tio, and many of our other friends are helping with the search, but none turn up. I'm really worried something might happen to him and the others that have gone missing." Elie said, looking very concerned.
"My youngest daughter Renne was in the Paldea Region as an exchange student. It wouldn't surprise me that this is news to her." Cassius rub his chin. "Friends of my daughter contacted her and asked if she knew where they could have gone. She wasn't aware and presumed that they were busy with work. Bracers have many responsibilities after all. I contacted the Bracer Guild but neither have seen them as well. Renne has been investigating where they suddenly disappeared. As a Father, my concern has reached its highest level. Renne also found out something else related."
"What did your daughter find?"
"She went to Smash Bros Castle and discovered a select few Fighters have also gone missing."
"When we ask the owners of Smash Bros about their messing Fighters along with the whereabouts of Rean, Crow, Levi, Estelle and Joshua, this is where they have to say."
"Stuff like this happens all the time here in Smash Bros. Some of our Fighters and trophy assistants often go do their training in a secret or unknown location for a few days. So it's perfectly fine. I'm sure Rean, Levi, Crow, and the other Fire Emblem Fighters are doing fine." Master Hand comment.
"Who are the Fire Emblem Fighters that haven't been seen those two days?"
"Marth, Roy, Ike, Lucina, Chrom, Robin, Corrin, Byleth, Tiki and Lyn."
"Didn't Caeda often come with her husband in Smash Bros?"
"Yes, even she admits she hasn't seen her husband in two days. As well as Azura, Chrom's Wife, his younger sister, and retainer, many people in that category with Lucina and Robin. Governor Yuri, Byleth's Husband was the last to see his King and husband. He orders a search in secret without panicking the masses of Fodlan but sadly now it out in the open. Also,Princess Camilia of Nohr, Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude have been reporting missing too."
"They might be dead!" Crazy Hand suggest
"BROTHER!"
"What? Just saying."
"I doubt certain people would like that!"
"Many speculate that all the people who disappear are connected, but no one knows for sure. But that isn't the only issue. At the same time when many important figures and heroes disappeared, new monsters have suddenly appeared out of nowhere. These monsters have been attacking and rampaging innocent people and Pokemon nonstop. According to our intel, these monsters resembles the monsters that the Fell Dragon Grima used in his invasion called Risens. Could they be new Risens? If so then who is controlling them? Is the world experiencing another threat? We'll find out more. But let us all pray that they remain safe and unharmed. This is Godfrey Toad signing off!"
(BGM ended)
The TV screen was turned off as it revealed that the new Class VII along with Renne, Penny, Nemona, Arven, Florian is in Peach's Castle living room.
(Mario & Luigi: Dream Team ost - Mysteries of the Cave)
"It's been two days and no one has ever seen our Instructor, Levi, Lloyd, or any of the others. This is getting scary." Juna said with concern as her boyfriend Kurt was holding her hand.
"And we have our hands full searching. I was quite surprised that some of the Fighters in Smash Bros disappeared. But I believe they're all connected." Renne said.
"I suspected the same as well." Musse nodded in agreement with Renne as well. "But the question is why them and only them?"
"Yeah. Not to mention some of the people in Smash Bros too." Venti was on his thinking pose. "I hope everyone is all right."
"Me too. I just hope we find some answers soon." Altina nodded in agreement. "For Annette and many other people too."
"Still, what cause them to disappear in the first place?" Kurt rub his chin. "Kidnapping is out of the question. For example, Levi, Instructor Rean, Joshua, and others have good senses of detecting presence, both normal and spiritual."
"You might be right. Although some of us don't have the abilities like you guys have, I do agree that something is going on, but I don't know what exactly." Penny replied
"But the kidnapping isn't the only problem, you all remember those monsters that suddenly appear and attack us right?" Florian asked.
"You mean, those... um... what are they called again?" Nemona asked
"Risens." Penny sighed.
"Right. They suddenly and whenever they see someone or a Pokemon, they go berserk. It's like they're not human."
"Yeah, not to mention wearing some creepy looking helmet or something with a red glowing eye." Arven grumbled.
"Ooh, just thinking about it reminds me of some horror story..." Penny groaned
"What a pain in the ass…" Ash muttered.
"There has to be some leads to their disappearance, right?" Nemona asked.
"I wish I know for certain." Renne sighed. "But what we need to do is those monsters that has been appearing lately. There were reports that these monsters appeared coming out of portals that appeared randomly throughout the world."
"Yeah, but where does it lead?" Juna wondered.
"Like the underworld?" Florian asked "I mean, they are kinda dead looking, don't you think?"
"Oh great... guess that means we got some crazy bloodthirsty monsters..." Penny groaned. "I don't want those poor Veevees and people getting hurt by them..."
"I don't want that either, but we got to find out the cause of it." Musse said. "Someone or something is responsible for it. It's only a matter of time before more show up to this world."
Suddenly one of their ARCUS Alpha rang.
"Oh!" Juna picked up her ARCUS Alpha and answered. "Hello?"
"Hello, Juna, is that you?" A voice asks on the other line.
"Oh hey, it's Emma! Hang on, I'll put you on speaker." Juna said, press the speaker and then place it on the table and a hologram of her was showned.
"Hello everyone. Is everything going all right with you?" Emma asked.
"Is this another friend of yours?" Nemona asked.
"Oh. I see new faces with you. Was I interrupting?"
"No. But these are our new friends from Paldea. The Pokemon Region you know." Juna replied
"Oh it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Emma Milstein. I'm a witch." Emma smild
"A witch?" Penny tilt her head.
"Hiya Emma! It's nice to meet you! I'm Nemona! I love Pokemon Battles! And with me are Penny who's amazing with tech and stuff and Arven's who's basically a chef!" Nemona cheered
"Well, it's true I'm good at cooking but I'll leave the chef part out." Arven replied.
"Hehe. Nice to meet you regardless. It's wonderful to make new friends." Emma smiled. "I assume that you're all gather in one location?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Venti asked.
"Come to Smash Bros Castle. Something is going on over there. And hurry. It might be related."
Everyone look at each other and nodded.
In Smash Bros Castle…
As Juna and the others arrive, they notice a small commotion going on and they see Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Shez, Kazuha, Arval, Mona, and Emma in one of the portal's rooms leading to Fire Emblem Hall.
"Hey, what's going on?" Juna called out as they turned to her.
"Ah, there you all are." Mona said. "Look what we found." She said as she and the others stepped away and Juna and the others saw a new portal within the Fire Emblem Hallway.
"Huh? A portal?" Venti asked.
"A new portal to be exact." Arval said.
"A new portal?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah. And according to the Hands, this thing appeared out of nowhere at the same time the others disappeared too." Shez nodded
"What?!" Juna exclaimed.
"Is this the same portal where those Risen monsters came from?" Musse asked
"I believe so yes." Master Hand nodded. "However, we don't know what's on the other side. I was about to send someone to investigate, but considering the disappearance is related, we thought you might want to investigate."
"Of course, we'll be coming along as well if that's all right." Shez said.
"Yeah! The more people the better!" Juna nodded.
"But shouldn't we contact Principal Le Quin?" Kurt asked.
"No worries, I'll contact her. Just a moment." Musse said as she pulled up her ARCUS Alpha and began calling. After she explains the situation. Musse hangs up. "All right. The principal gave us the go-ahead. Let us be off, shall we?"
"Okay, here does nothing." Ash said as they all began to enter the portal.
(BGM ended)
As Juna and the others arrived on the other side of the portal.
"Whooooa." Juna said in gasped as she and the others look around.
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - History of Elyos)
Juna and the others arrived at a plaza of some sort. There are four shops but no one is there. In the center of the plaza there are four trees apart from each other as a circle. Nearby are places they haven't seen yet. However, there is a staircase leading upstairs while downstairs leading to a mess hall.
"Whoa… what is this place?" Penny wondered as he look.
"I'm not sure… But this place has calm wind… and a pleasant scent." Kazuha said as he sniffed and sighed with a smile.
"But… what kind of place is this? Why is it empty?" Arval asked
"Looks like a settlement or something, but no one is here." Arven said.
"Yeah I don't think I see anyone here." Nemona agreed.
"Hmm…" Mona begins to use her divination skills as she activates her scryglass. "How curious."
"What did you find out Mona?" Renne asked.
"It appears to be a new world that we stumped upon. How I do not know which. It will take me some time to answer, but we should look around."
"Hmm… I definitely sense power coming from this place too." Celine said.
"You're right. Maybe there might be someone here." Emma nodded.
"Wait, did that cat just talk?!" Penny exclaimed
"Whoa, seriously?!" Arven exclaimed
"Oh right, we haven't met yet." Celine said. "Hello to you. I'm Celine. Emma's Familiar."
"A Familiar? Wait, you mean like actual familiars to mages from fairy tales?" Penny asked
"That's right. I'm guessing this is a new horizon to you guys." Emma giggled.
"I'm sure you guys will get used to it." Renne said to her Paldea friends. "Anyway, come on. Let's head upstairs and see what we can find."
"Right! Lead the way!" Florian smiled as they take off.
The group then headed upstairs and going around until they arrived at a door.
"Hello?" Juna knocks on the door which it opens by itself. "Huh?" Juna peek inside before she opens the door. "Whoa…"
The others see inside a room that has a piano. And in front of the room was an altar.
"Whoa… this room is so… beautiful." Musse said in awe.
"It certainly bright." Ash said before he saw something up ahead. "Huh? Hey, look over there." He said as they saw two people by a canopy in white, surrounding them are white and blue roses.
The two people in question are a boy and a girl with Two-toned hair split down the middle, with individual strands of blue and red intermixed. For the boy is blue hair on the right and red on the left. And the girl has red hair on the right and blue hair on the left.
The boy is wearing white clothes with golden decorations with blue strips and a cape. White on the front while red on the back. Their boots were black with blue straps.
The girl was the same thing but with a skirt instead of pants with the boy.
"Wow. Those are some pretty faces." Renne amused.
"I feel like there's gonna be a lot of good looking people whenever we go." Penny scratch her cheek.
"Hehehe. Everyone here has quite the dashing look. Wouldn't you agree Ash?" Musse giggled.
"Please, with me being all tough and handsome, these guys don't compare." Ash said with a smug look on his face.
"And yet when it comes to "pretty faces" such as pretty boy, that is what you call me." Kurt comment.
"That also applies to me as well." Kazuha added
"Yes yes, we're all a good group of mischief good looking people." Mona roll her eyes. "Still, is this their bedroom? If so, then… how come they appear to look like they're sleeping in a coffin?"
"Good question. However, I also notice power coming from them too." Emma said.
"At least we know they're alive I guess. But I doubt we'll get answers when those two are sleeping. We should-"
"H-Hey! Who are you?!"
"Bah!" Emma yelped as they turned and saw two children it seems, but not quite.
There was a boy with gray or dirty blonde hair wearing green and gray clothing and wearing a scarf around his neck. He also has a jar attached to his hip.
The girl next to him appears to be his twin. She has a cap with a pink ribbon. The scarf around her neck also has the same color design as her cap with a mixture of white and pink ribbon. Her clothes are pink with silver decorations. She has a ponytail tied up on the left side of her neck with brown cloves.
"Oh. We're not alone after all." Kazuha said
"Where did you guys come from?" Shez asked.
"W-We should be asking you that!" The boy exclaimed.
"Get away from the Divine Dragons!" The girl yelled.
"Divine Dragons? You mean these two?" Ash turns his head to the two people behind him.
"And did you say dragons?" Nemona asked until she gasped. "Are they Pokemon?!"
Penny sweatdrop with Florian, Renne and Arven. "Not even close."
"I don't know what Pokemon are but who are you guys? How did you manage to get in here?" The girl asked as she was on her battle pose.
"Wait… if you guys are here… that means you received Queen Lumera's blessing right? Then where is Queen Lumera?" The boy wondered
"Queen Lumera?" Shez asked.
"What?! You don't know who Queen Lumera is?! Then… that means you guys really are intruders!"
"All right, let's all calm down. There is a good explanation for this. But you might think this is far-fetch." Mona waving her hands.
"Mmm…" Voices then heard moaning as everyone turned and then see the two sleeping boys and girls were asleep… now woken up.
"Where… am I?" The Boy asked as he was the first to rise up, and the girl next to him was next.
"I think you mean "Where… are we…" The girl yawned as she rubbed her eyes before she noticed everyone. "Huh?"
"I think we interrupted their sleep." Arval looking at the other deadpan.
"Well, we were really loud weren't we?" Juna nervous laughed.
"Sorry for interrupting your sleep." Musse apologized.
"Um. No need. Actually, who are you all?" The boy asked.
"Oh, well I'm-"
"You're awake! You're both awake!" The girl yelled.
"Huh?" The mixed-color hair girl blinks.
"Um… yeah, isn't that obvious?" Venti asked.
"No you guys don't get it! They're the Divine Dragons Alear and Amia!" The Boy exclaimed.
"Divine Dragon Alear and Amia?" Altina asked.
"All right, what's all this ruckus going on?" Then an older knight begins to enter the room. "Huh?" The older gentleman looks shocked to see Juna and the others. "What? Who are you all?" before he could question them, both the "divine dragons" got up from their bed and approached the group. "Divine Dragon Alear and Amia! It's a miracle. An utter miracle. The Divine ones awake at long last… That I might live to see you two standing before me. What an honor."
"Um, not to be rude, but… who are you?" The boy asked. "And the rest of you?"
"Ah! Apologizes. I lost myself for a moment there."
"Really? All for a wake-up call?" Ash raised an eyebrow.
"Don't be sarcastic with me young man. We're also more curious about the rest of you as well about how you managed to get into this sacred place."
"Sacred place?" The mixed girl tilts her head. "You mean this place is sacred?"
"That's right. I'll explain. My name is Vander. I am the 32nd Steward of the Dragon." Vander introduces himself.
"Vander?" Kurt look surprised.
"Hello, Sir Vander." The color boy greeted.
"Oh my, Divine One Alear! There's no need to address me as such. Simply "Vander" will do." Vander exclaimed.
"So my name is Alear?" The mix color boy rubs his chin. "Actually, that sounds about right."
"Yeah, Amia definitely sounds like my name too." Amia turns to him. "And what about the rest of you?"
"Oh, sorry! We were so busy questioning these people that we didn't introduce ourselves as well." The boy said.
"Intruders? These guys?" Amia turns to the others.
Vander sighed. "Clanne, Framme. You know this place is impossible for anyone to intrude. Queen Lumera's blessing would allow anyone to come. Which means they would if they're here, Queen Lumera would have their blessing."
"Yeah, I know that. But these guys don't know who Queen Lumera is. Which means they don't have her blessing, right?" The girl asked
"What? If that is the case, then they are indeed intruders." Vander nearly grabbed his axe.
"Whoa! Wait a second!" Juna exclaimed
"Everyone please calm down! There's no need for violence!" Alear exclaimed. "I'm sure there must be a reason why they're here right? Please, let them speak."
"Yeah. Not to mention they don't look like thieves or anything. I think they may have gotten lost." Amia added.
"But Divine Ones. We're on a floating island." Vander said.
"Say what now?" Ash blink.
"A floating island?!" Kurt exclaimed.
"Like an actual floating island?!" Florian exclaimed.
"Oh so that explains why no one was here." Renne rub her chin.
"And why the air and wind feels calm." Kazuha added
"Wait, how are you guys calm about this!?" Penny exclaimed. "Wait, are floating islands a thing here?"
"Oh trust me, there are several places with several floating islands and such." Renne replied
"Indeed. It shouldn't come as a surprise since we journey through multiple." Musse agreed.
"Wow! That sounds soo cool!" Nemona exclaimed.
"All right, let's all settle down. Please, allow us to explain." Emma said. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Emma Milstein. And the cat with me is my familiar, Celine."
"I think they might be shocked to learn about me speaking." Celine said.
"Whoa! A talking cat! An ACTUAL talking cat! That's so cool!" The girl with the cap exclaimed.
"See what I mean?"
"Okay, guess I'll go next." Shez crosses his arms. "I'm Shez. I suppose I'm a mercenary captain to the Koopa Troops. But guessing you don't know who they are."
"They don't Shez." Arval shook his head. "And I'm his younger brother, Arval."
"And I am Kazuha Kaedehara. Please to meet you." Kazuha greeted.
"My greetings to you. My name is Mona Megistus. I'm an Astrologist. If you don't know what it means, it means I'm someone who can foresee their future."
"Whoa.. that's… so cool!" The boy exclaimed.
"So it's like fortune telling?" Vander asked.
"In a sense. But they both end up at the same point." Mona answered. "So what about you two?"
"Oh right!" Well, I'm Clanne. And this is my twin sister Framme. We're the 33rd Stewards of the Dragon." Cranne introduce himself.
"Hiya! And now who are you guys?" Framme asked.
"Hi. I'm Juna Crawford." Juna introduce herself.
"Hello. My name is Kurt Vander." Kurt greeted
"Your last name is Vander?" Vander asked.
"That's right. Though I suppose anyone can be named Vander and not related to my family's name."
"My name is Altina Orion. And this is Claiomh Solais." Altina greeted as Claiomh Solais appeared behind Altina.
"Whoa what the heck?!" Framme exclaimed. "Where did that thing come from!?"
"Is that… some sort of… actually, what is that?" Clanne asked.
"Think of it as a doll." Renne explained.
"Well, my name Is Venti Zachary. Please to meetcha." Venti wave his arm with a smile.
"Please to meet you all. I am Musse Egret." Musse introduce herself.
"Ash Carbide." Ash greeted.
"We're actually students at a military school called Thors Branch Campus, though you don't know where or what that is." Juna said.
"Military school students? Hmm… I don't think I heard of it." Vander rub his chin.
"And now its our turn." Renne replied. "My name is Renne. I'm not a military student like them but I do go to an academy as an exchange students. With me are my friends... no... I think now to say my best friends at this point."
"That's right!" Arven smirked. "I'm Arven!"
"Hiya! I'm Nemona!" Nemona cheered
"Um...Hi..." Penny scratching her cheek. "I'm Penny... Sorry, I'm not used to talking to new people just yet."
"And I'm Florian! We're students at Uva Academy!" Florian smiled
"Uva Academy?" Clanne asked.
"We're students who learn about Pokemon." Nemona answered
"Pokemon? What are Pokemon?" Vander asked. "And why and how are you four along with a bunch of military students— and others I will add— doing here?" Vander asked.
"We're looking for our instructor, our class assistant who disappeared two days ago. But it isn't just them. My homeland hero along with many of our friends suddenly disappear." Juna explained.
"Oh no, that's terrible!" Alear expresses his sadness.
"Yeah, we have been looking everywhere but no clues. But then we got in contact with Emma and we met up and found this portal that leads here. We investigated with our friends here and here we are." Kurt continued.
"A portal? What portal?" Vander asked.
"We'll show you if you like. But I get the feeling you're more concerned for the "Divine Dragon" right?" Musse asked.
"Yes, that is true. As Stewards of the Dragon, our mission is to protect and provide for them. Generations after generations of our predecessors waited for the Divine Ones to rise from their slumber." Vander said. "I'll admit. I am astonished to see it has finally happened. A thousand years have passed since the first steward took their post."
"A thousand years?" Renne look surprised with the others.
"Whoa, you're telling us they been asleep for thousand? Like actual thousands?" Penny asked in disbelief.
"A thousand years? That's how long we've been asleep?" Alear looks shocked.
"Whoa! That takes way too long for an average person to sleep!" Juna exclaimed.
"Why are they asleep for a thousand years?" Celine asked.
"According to Queen Lumera, the Divine Ones were injured and had to sleep for a thousand years. Now that the Divine Ones have awoken, their mother, Queen Lumera, the Divine Dragon Monarch has awaited for this day to come." Vander explained.
"Divine Dragon Monarch? Wait, slow down." Amia wave her hand. "This monarch you mention… she's our mother?"
"And we're both Divine Dragons? You all keep mentioning that to us." Alear added.
"Oh dear. Is your memory hazy, Divine Ones?" Vander asked in concerned.
"I'm not surprised if that were the case." Renne cross her arm. "Sleeping for a thousand years tends to cause some amount of memory loss."
"I know my name and my twin sister… that much is certain… but… I don't know who I even am." Alear place his hand on his hair and look concerned.
"Yeah. We know that we're siblings and we remember each other. But… the rest is clouded." Amia added looking concerned.
"If I may… You both are Divine Dragons, members of a royal family of dragons revered as deities." Vander explained.
"So they're gods?" Altina asked.
"And yet, they look human to me." Juna replied.
"Well Dragons do have the ability to shapeshift into human form." Emma said.
"Right. But I imagine that their mother can explain much." Celine replied.
"Indeed. The Divine Dragon Monarch, roles over the Holy Land of Lythos. In a war a thousand years ago, she defeated and imprisoned the wicked Fell Dragon." Vander explained.
"A Fell Dragon?!" Kurt asked.
"Ah shit. Don't tell me there's another one of those things." Ash muttered
"You better watch your mouth boy. You're in the presence of the Divine Dragon!" Vander glared. "Not to mention you're all still suspects for this matter."
"Vander please. It's quite all right. There's no need for that." Alear defended. "But please continue."
Vander sighed. "Very well. You and your sister are their only children."
"The war.. the Fell Dragon… I feel like I almost remember, but…" Amia groaned as her she received a headache along with Alear.
"Ugh… my head…" Alear groaned.
"Please, do not trouble yourselves trying to bring it all back at once!" Vander exclaimed. "Your memories will return in time. You both are being of immense power. A deity, no less." He smiled as the twin stewards nodded in agreement. "I heard many tales of your kindness, nobility, and bravery. Your unflinching heroism."
Alear sweatdrop." That's a lot to live up to."
"For now, let us head to Lythos Castle. Queen Lumera will be thrilled to see you both. Perhaps the reunion will help stir your memories. In addition, we're still questions about how they got here. If this portal is how they got here, then we shall see."
"Can't say I don't blame you for not trusting us." Celine muttered.
"It can't be helped. Fine, we'll clear our names and then resume our investigation on why this portal appears in our world." Renne said.
"Your world?" Amia asked.
"It's far-fetch. But we're from another world. There's a portal leading to our world that leads to this one. This is our only lead to find out Instructor." Venti said.
They begin to head outside of the Dragon Twins' rooms and then they arrive at the entrance of the plaza where the portal is still there.
"There, you see! There's a portal!" Juna pointed.
"Whoa! There really is a portal!" Clanne exclaimed.
"How is this possible? How did I miss this?" Vander look shock. "Where does this portal lead?"
"It leads to a place called Smash Bros Castle. That's where the portal appears." Altina answered.
"I see… I do not know this…. Smash Bros Castle, but we'll leave it for now. I suppose this does clear your names. Still, this does need to be explained to Queen Lumera. Please, come with us." He said as they headed toward a glowing spot at the center of the plaza which teleported them all to the new location.
"Where are we?" Alear asked.
"We're in the grassland of Lythos. The portal took us from there." Vander looking up and they all see the floating island.
"What… that's where we were sleeping?" Amia look in awe.
"And that's where the portal took us?" Ash asked.
"All this time… me and my sister have been sleeping in the sky?" Alear said in awe.
"Indeed. The place you you both slumber and our guests appeared is known at the Somniel." Vander explained.
"So that's the name of the place?" Arval asked. "The Somniel?"
"Yes. It's a fortress built upon an airborne island to ensure the Divine Ones safety. It is perhaps the most secure place in all of Elyos. Only a select few can set foot there. Though this portal is something uncommon. Which needs to be explained to Queen Lumera."
"So this place is called Elyos?" Shez asked.
"No. Elyos is the name of the continent."
"I see. So that means you three live there with us?" Amia asked.
"Yup!" Framme nodded. "As Stewards, we spend our time caring for you two and managing things around the Somniel. It's a sacred place, so we work as hard as we can to keep it shipshape!"
"Royal family members visit us all the time! Well, visit you, really." Clanne added
"Royal families visit the twins? Who?" Shez asked.
"The prince and princess of Firene. A deeply religious country, visit especially often."
"They pray next to you both, like this." Framme demonstrates their praying. "Then they just… talk for a while, like they're chatting to a friend."
"I see…" Alear smile. "Thanks for filling us in, Framme. You too, Clanne."
Framme begins to fangirl as she jumps in joy. "The Divine Dragon Alear said our names! And thanked us!"
"I think I'm going to faint… unless I already did." Cranne shudders with excitement. "Am I dreaming?"
"Need I remind you that you are in the presence of the Divine Dragons!" Vander scolded the twins. "How many times must I tell you to behave in a manner befitting your station?"
"They remind me of Schwarzer's fans." Ash comment.
"Hehehe, no doubt about that." Venti chuckled.
"Divine Ones, please forgive this embarrassing breach of decorum." Vander sighed.
"Breach of decorum?" Amia giggled. "I believe me and my older brother are enjoying their enthusiasm."
"Yeah. It's quite refreshing. Especially to you all for speaking casually too." Alear added with a warm smile.
"Well, to be perfectly honest… I was concerned about how we approach you. After all, you both are deities… but some deities we met are quite…. casual." Kurt said.
"That's true. So some part we're used to it. And some don't mind us speaking in the way we speak." Shez added.
"And you both don't look like the type which is high and mighty, so that part is the kind of figure everyone can get along with and inspire." Mona added.
"Is that right?" Alear asked. "But who are these deities you met?"
"I do not wish to interrupt but… Queen Lumera awaits us. We should get going." Vander said.
"Understood. But we should explain ourselves to Queen Lumera as well, if that's all right." Kurt said.
"Of course, follow me." Vander said as he activated a mechanism that open a portal that leads below.
Arriving at Lythos castle…
"Oh, look, there it is!" Clanne pointed and saw the castle just up ahead.
"So that's Lythos Castle? The place where your mom is waiting?" Ash turn to the dragon twins.
"I'm… not the right person to ask." Alear admitted.
"Same. Vander, this is where our… mother… resides?" Amia asked.
Vander nodded. "Yes. I suppose a thousand years have passed since you've been home."
"Don't worry. We'll be right there with you." Framme smiled.
"You can hold my hand if you like." Clanne offered.
"Thank you both." Alear smiled before he notice a ring on his hand. "Hmm? How long have I been wearing this ring? Since before I fell asleep?"
"Huh…" Amia also notice a ring in her hand. "Now that you mention it. I have a ring too. How long have I been wearing this? But this… this gray stone… something is familiar about it."
"Same with this blue stone." Alear stares at the ring for awhile.
(BGM ended)
"Wait…" Renne brought out her Scythe. "Something is coming."
"Where did you get that scythe?" Framme asked in shock.
"You're right. Something fowl is coming." Kazuha said as he draw his Katana.
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Crisis)
Suddenly, they all hard growling as they turn and see two monsters approaching them. The monsters are pale-skinned, wrapped in blackened vestments, with a grotesque helmets grafted to their head. They approached menacingly as they let out a wicked cry.
"Huh?!" Alear gasped as everyone else draw out their weapons.
" Wh-What are those horrible things?!" Framme asked.
"Vander! Are creatures like that common around here?" Amia turn to him.
Vander shook his head. "They're not. I've never seen them. Nor have I heard of such monsters appearing in Lythos before. This is a land of peace."
"Wait, those are the monsters that appeared in our world!" Penny exclaimed.
"These guys look bad news." Venti ready his bow and then proceed to fire a swift green arrow and aim toward and knock a couple of the monsters back.
"Raaaaargh!"
"Oh pipe down." Renne said as she dashed forward the monster and they began to swing at each other until Renne swirled her scythe and then slice through one with ease, causing them to cry in aim before turning into miasma.
"Whoa… so cool!" Clanne said in awe.
"Raaaaugh!" The other two roared at Renne and approached her.
"Oh no you don't!" Florian got out his Pokeball. "Meowscarada!" He throw his Pokeball and came out Meowscarada.
"Meow!" Meowscarada took his stand.
"What the—" Vander eye widen.
"Meowscarada Night Slash those monsters!" Florian yelled
"Meow!" Meowscarada's claws glow white as he lung at one of them and slash them while Renne slash the other monster to gets it attention.
"Raaaaugh!" One of the monsters screeched and then glared at Meowscarada and swing its axe.
"Dodge and use Energy Ball!" Florian yelled as Meowscarada dodged gracefully and then channeled Energy Ball from his hand and slammed it on the monster's guts.
"RAAAAAAAGH!" It screeched in agony and turned into Miasima while Renne beheaded the monster, turning into Miasma while the last one was shot in the head by Venti's arrow.
"I think that's—" Vander said until more monsters appeared along with Heartless.
"Wha-? Heartless?! Here!" Juna exclaimed.
"Heartless? You know these things?" Vander looks around.
"Yeah. They're monsters that manifest the darkness in people's hearts. These things are dangerous. They seek every heart in all living things, including our own." Kurt explained. "But we don't know if those other monsters are Heartless."
"They're that dangerous…." Alear turn pale. "We need to run."
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Ash asked.
"Those monsters… the one with the helmet… for some reason… those things scare me." Amia said, taking a step back.
"Yeah… I felt that feeling too… They scare me for some reason… But these Heartless… they gave me a new feeling to worry about." Alear agreed with his sister.
"If you wanna run, then go ahead. We'll handle them." Shez said.
"What? But-"
"We handle these punks all the time. They're no different from monsters in our world." Ash swirl his axe.
"Right. If you wish to run, then go. However, it's possible there might be more out here somewhere. Some of us should accompany you while you go to the castle and call for help." Kazuha said as he charged toward the humanoid monsters who spotted him, jumped into air to attack him, and then clashed as Kazuha skillfully parried and struck with one blow.
The Shadows charged for a sneak attack against Kurt who struck from behind and Kurt took the damage before he countered with a stab attack and then the monster charged and swung his axe toward him but he blocked it and kicked Kurt to push him back. Juna blocked the monster's axe attack until she was jumped by a Shadow who claw-attack her but backflipped and shot bullets at them. Shez rushes forward with Kazuha as they slash and combat the monsters while Arval cast dark magic and shoot dark orbs and destroys the monsters. Mona swirl her arms and creates several water orbs and launches and knock a couple of monsters back. Then one monster charged her as Mona turn her head and swing it's axe, but Mona dodge the attack by warping behind and then kick the back of the head and knocking it to the ground, form a water blade and impale it, turning into Miasma.
Altina swung around as Claomh Solais copied her move and knocked the Monsters back as Musse shot from a distance, then see a Shadow from behind her before she turn her body and went on defense mode by kicking, knocking the Heartless back. Venti shoots one arrow to support the others as Emma swirl her staff, creating magic beams against a couple of Heartless and the monsters. Then more of them begin to show up and they charge for battle. Arval throw Dark Magic at two of the monsters who duck and run toward to slash him, but he swing his arm and send a dark magic wave to push them back. Renne gracefully swirls her scythe as she clashes the few monsters before she easily pierces one through and blocks the other one, and then gracefully swirls around and slices through a couple of Shadows before disappearing. Meowscarada use Night Slash and knock back a few Shadows as two Shadows appeared from left and right, until Meowscarada grabbed both their faces, slam them together and then throw Enegy Ball at them.
"Whoa… they're amazing!" Framme exclaimed.
"No kidding… Are they really just students?" Clanne asked in shock.
"Surprising, right?" Arven asked. "Believe me, we were shocked to know Renne is scary in a fight."
"A-Away, they can handle it, we need to head to the castle!" Penny stated.
"So be it. Let's leave it to them and- hmm?" Vander turned back and More monsters appeared from behind.
"Uh-Oh. We got monsters on our backs!" Nemona pull out her Pokeball.
"We're surrounded! Divine ones, we had no choice but to fight!" Vander stated
"Gah… You're right… Everyone was trying to protect us…" Alear clenched his fist. "I take back what I said… This is no time to run."
"Right. We need to fight! But… we don't have a weapon in hand…" Amia said.
"I have two of them actually. Here." Vander pull out two Iron Swords and gave them to the dragon twins, then he whistled and then a horse appeared, knock two monsters away as Vander mounted up and ready his axe. "Stay on your guard everyone!"
"Right!" Everyone respond.

"Cloyster, help us!" Arven throw his Pokeball.
"Leafeon, let's go!" Penny throw her Pokeball.
"Let's dance Lycanroc!" Nemone throw her Pokeballs and each came out their Pokemons.
"Lycanroc, Stone Edge!" Nemona yelled.
"Arruuu!" Lycanroc howl and summon stones around herself an launch them at the Monsters and Heartless.
Some of them dodged as Leafeon charge in and use Leaf Blade as one monster block but was push back. Cloyster then fired Ice beam to freeze two Heartless and one of the monsters. The Dragon twins charge toward the monsters as Vander ride toward one of them and swing his axe and clash into a battle with one while Alear and Amia swing their sword as the monster who swings its axe around a few times as they both dodged and then counter by slashing their chest, then deal the finishing blow by impaling them, causing them to disappear.
Vander held out strong as he clash the axes together before his horse followed his movements and then allow him to swine and swing his axe downward on the neck to kill it. While Clanne and Framme are not handling it well as Clanne cast his fire magic at one of them as one roll over and knock his fire tomb away.
"Oh no!" Clanne yelled before the monster swung his axe and knocking and giving Clanne a scar on his arm.
"Clanne!" Framme yelled before the monster swung Its axe and knocked her away. "Ugh!"
"Clanne Framme!" Amia yelled as the monster was prepared to charge at them, until it was hit by magic from above, causing it to turn into miasma.
"Everyone!" Emma yelled as she and the others made it. "Are you all right?"
"Emma! Everyone!" Alear exclaimed.
"You made it in just the right time." Vander before more Heartless appeared surrounding Flanne and Clanne as they both got up. "More enemies…"
"They just keep coming…" Amia clenched her first.
"You're all trying to protect us… We should be protecting you! If only we could… somehow…" Alear clenched his teeth.
"Quit complaining to yourself. If you want to protect yourself and others, then do it! But don't be some damn fool." Ash said.
(BGM ended)
"Alear…" A voice called in Alear's head.
"Amia…." A voice called in Amia's head.
"Huh…" Both Dragon twins blinked.
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Engage…)
"You must remember, Alear/Amia…" Both voices said in their heads
"Who said that?" Alear look around, causing the others to turn their heads.
"Alear, Amia, what's wrong?" Mona asked as the dragon twins look at the rings.
"The rings…" Amia whispered.
"Know that our strength can be yours." A voice said in unity
"I know those voices..." Alear whisper.
"If ever we cross paths again, I hope you will remember me." A voice said in Alear's head.
"Just as I hope that you would one day be awaken, we will meet again and hope you will remember me still." The voice said in Amia's head.
"Indeed, that you would remember all of us who took up arms to fight at your side."
"The 20 Emblems…" Both dragon gasped
"Divine Ones?" Vander called out to them before they suddenly charge ahead. "Divine ones! You mustn't do this alone!"
"Don't worry! Please! We're not alone!" Alear yelled back as the dragon twins run further to reach Clanne and Framme.
"Help us. Lend us your strength in this fight!" Amia said until they top in the middle.
Then the dragon twins suddenly place their right arm to their arms. "Shine on, Emblem of Beginnings/Guide us, Emblem of Cold Steel!" Then they both yelled.
(BGM ended)
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Shine on, Emblem of Beginnings)
Suddenly the stones in the rings begin to glow in a blue and gray light begin to respond with a burst of power, then a blue light briefly flashes the area along with a gray light, then burst out of the ring was Marth and Rean as they both landed on the ground. Both of them unsheathe their sword as Marth swing his sword while Rean swing his Tachi.
(BGM ended)
(Trails of Cold Steel III ost - Beyond the Journey - Intrumental Ver.-)
"I am known as Marth. Emblem Marth, to be clear." Emblem Marth greeted with a warm smile.
"And I am Rean. Emblem Rean." Emblem Rean also greeted with a smile.
Alear and Amia look at each other and nodded, then charge forward with the two Emblem figures against the monsters as they turn their gaze to them, as Alear and Emblem Marth swing their sword at the monster's axe, it block the attack but soon overwhelm by it's strength, then jump back and Amia and Emblem Rean charge forward and swing their blades as the monster jump to avoid the attack, respond by swinging its axe toward Amia a few times before turning it attention to Emblem Rean and block its attack, then block Amia's other attack, but then join by Alear and Emblem Marth and swing their swords at it, then both Alear and Emblem Marth power struggle against the monster, until it broke free, swing their sword at the head, but the monster dodge, then another power struggle until they both shove the monster and Amia and Emblem Rean took over and they both swing down their sword at the monster and knock it do the ground and destroy it for good.
"That was amazing!" Flanne cheered
"Cool!" Clanne cheered as well.
Alear swing his sword as Amia did the same and look at the Emblem fighting at their side.
"We did it!" Alear smiled with a nod "Thanks for your help, Marth, truly!"
"Same to you Rean." Amia nodded with a smile.
"Of course, it is good to see you both too." Emblem Marth smiled
"We were able to answer your call, because you remembered us." Emblem Rean said with a smile.
Back with the others as they look shocked.
"Do my eyes deceive me… or is that the Emblems of legend?" Vander look shocked
"Instructor Rean!?" Juna exclaimed.
"And Marth?!" Shez asked.
Before Emblem Rean and Marth can respond to their voices, they turn and see the other monster rising up from their back and Heartless appears.
"Clanne! Framme! Get to safety, now!" Alear shout
"Uh, right!" The twins nodded and they both ran off to safety while Emblem Rean, Emblem Marth, and the dragon twins were ready to defend themselves.
"Instructor Rean!" Musse yelled as she and the others joined the others to fight
Emblem Rean gasped. "Juna?! Kurt?! Everyone!? You're all here?!"
"You know them?" Amia asked.
"We do. But now isn't the time to talk. We need to deal with them and fast." Emblem Rean answered as the monsters and Heartless ready themselves and charge toward the others.
"All right, but you better start talking after this!" Celine said as Emma ready her magic along with Venti and Musse with their weapons.
Juna and the others charge toward the monsters and Heartless while the Dragon twins look at each other and the Emblems nod.
"Emblem Engage!" Both Dragon Twins placed their right hand to their elbow again before swinging their left arm with the Emblem took their battle stance.
Then both Emblem and dragon twins begin to surround themselves with pulse of power as it surrounds them, and then begin to join hands, then engulp in a white light, before Alear and Amia's clothes change appearance into golden-like armor with blue-like energy. They suddenly grew wings of the same energy. They were no longer on the ground, instead floating in the air and took their stance.
"What the—" Florian blinked
Alear and Amia flew toward the Heartless and Risens. Each of them begins to deliver a strike against the monster and Heartless as the monsters and Heartless turn their attention toward them as they charge, clashing with them with a few swings of their sword before as some of the monsters and Heartless dodge but end up getting hit still, then the blades begin to glow with energy, dash forward, and Alear let out lighting flash rapier strikes nine times while the Tachi imbue with blue flames, let out several strikes and multiple phantom slashes appeared on the Heartless and monsters, causing a whirlwind of strikes to appeared, then both Dragon twins deal the final blow on the monsters and heartless, causing them to disappear into nothingness.
(BGM ended)
"Looks like there's no sign of them. We're safe." Amia said.
"Yeah." Alear nodded and then they changed back as the Emblem appeared at their side, causing them to turn the others into their attention as they ran toward them.
"Whoa! That was completely sick!" Venti exclaimed.
"What the heck is with the light show all of a sudden?" Mona asked. "More importantly, what was that you four performed? It looks like some sort of technique."
"Divine Ones!" A voice yelled out as they all turn their attention to Clanne and Framme who came out from hiding. "Vander! Everyone! Thanks for saving us."
"Yeah. And, um… sorry. Those monsters got the better hand against us." Clanne apologizes with a bow.
"There's no need to apologize. All that matters is that we're safe. They were formidable. Still, it's such a relief you're both safe now…" Alear let out a warm smile.
"If anything happens to the two of you… I can imagine how much it hurts us." Amia added with a warm smile.
"That's all well and good. However, it's not ever yet." Kazuha said. "I sense more of those monsters coming."
They all turn their backs and then see more of the monsters approaching them with their lowly growl.
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Standoff)
"You got to be kidding… there's more of them? I thought we've gotten rid of them!" Juna complained.
"Clearly they're persistent." Renne said. "Even if it a short break, they just come out of nowhere."
"No kidding. Still, we need to deal with them and fast." Shez stated
"Wait…" Kazuha said "The wind is changing… Something's coming!"
"The wind?" Alear asked, before a large shadow cover them,
Then all look up and see a white dragon flying over them.
"The hell!? A Dragon!?" Ash exclaimed.
The white Dragon began to unleash a powerful beam toward the monsters as they soon destroyed
(BGM ended)
The dragon then begins to descend downward and change into a woman. The woman was wearing a white dress with yellow and red colors on the bottom with pink decorations. Her robe is a golden armored with golden glower decorations with spikes around her. She has a collar around her neck with a white necklace She has long blue hair and blue eyes with a crown.
"At last. You're both awake." The woman greeted them with a warm smile as they landed and approached the dragon twins. "Is it really you, Alear, Amia?"
"Yes, it's us." Alear answered with a bow.
"Thank you for saving us." Amia replied with a graceful bow
"What a joy it is to see you both." The woman closed her eyes and then hug the twins. "I've waited for so long!"
"Oh!" Alear responds in surprise.
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - History of Elyos)
"When I sensed you both had awoken, I flew here as fast as my wings would carry me. I hope you're both not hurt."
"We're… we're both fine." Amia said, still looking surprised of the woman in question.
"What a relief! You cannot understand how I've missed you both, my dear children." The woman smiled
"Oh! You're… our mother." Alear said
"What's the matter?" Lumera asked in concern. "Don't tell me…"
"Since awakening, the Divine Ones memories is clouded." Vander explained.
"Oh! I see."
"We're sorry. I'm sure you weren't expecting this." Amia said, looking upset.
Lumera shook her head. "No, I must apologize. I was so overcome with joy, I hugged you both as hard as I could. I take this to mean you've forgotten… everything. I suppose it's to be expected. A thousand years is a very long time."
"Vander explained to us that we've been sleeping since… some war that happened back then. Something about an injury?"
"Yes. You both suffered a terrible wound. And… and because of that…"
"A wound?" Alear look sad as he close his eyes and think, but shook his head. "I don't remember that. Or this world, or anything. I imaigne Amia is the same."
"Yeah. I can't remember anything else. All we do know is that… we have each other as siblings." Amia nodded in agreement.
"Don't fret, young ones. I will speak to you both of all you've forgotten." Lumera smiled. "Regardless of what you remember, I'm simply glad to have you both back, my dear children."
"Still… this isn't the reunion you hoped for." Alear trailed off.
"Oh, don't worry about me. It's solace enough just to hear your sweet voices again. And to gaze once more into your eyes. What lovely colors they are, Alear, Amia."
"Queen Lumera, there is more to report." Vander said.
"More you say?" Lumera asked.
"Um… Hello?" Juna waved her hand.
"Oh! My apologizes! I was so focused on seeing my sweet children again that I didn't see all of you! Forgive me!"
"No, it's quite all right. It's understandable that you wish to speak to your son and daughter again." Kurt said. "You're Queen Lumera, correct?"
"That's right. I'm Queen Lumera. It's a pleasure to meet you all. Why don't we all head to the castle and we can speak more." Lumera suggests as she transforms into a dragon and lowers her back. "Climb on my back, all of you." Lumera requested as they all climbed up her back and then flew toward Lythos castle. "Alear, Amia, allow me to explain about this world." She said as she took off. "We live on the continent of Elyos. Four realms surround the holy land at its center. Firene, Kingdom of Abundance. Brodia, Kingdom of Might. Elusia, Kingdom of Knowledge. Solm, Queendom of Freedom. The Land of Lythos, home to Divine Dragons. And Gradlon, the domain of the Fell Dragon. Fallen to ruin. A thousand years ago, our lands endured a vicious war with the Fell Dragon. We called upon heroes from other worlds to aid us. Heroes are known as Emblems. With them, the warriors of our nation fought as one. In the end, we were victorious in defeating and imprisoning the Fell Dragon. In the years since, our world has been safe. But now, I sense a resurrection. The binding weakens. If his shadow stretches across the land again, then we must fight him anew, as did the ages past. Fell Dragon Sombron must be stopped."
WOOHOOOO! I long waited for this to begin! As a Fire Emblem Fan, I'm kinda a sucker for this. Oh but so much to do. But now let's enjoy this, shall we!
