(Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes ost - On Thin Ice)

Ivy let out a sigh. "My goodness, what a day it has been. While I'm glad to have Hortensia by my side, but today has been quite troublesome."

"Seriously, today is quite a day. Still, what matters we got the ring away from that woman." Alfred said.

"Speaking of her, I hate to admit it but she was scary. To be able to alter the Nothern Fortress like it was her playhouse." Hortensia stated "Seriously. How in the world did she do that."

"While we're at it, what about Ouroboros you guys mention?" Timerra asked.

"Oh right, since you guys are a new arrival, we should start explaining." Venti replied.

"Allow me to explain." Musse offered. "Ouroboros is a mysterious organization that operate in the shadows of our world. It's also known as the Society in code. Ouroboros is ruled by this mysterious Grandmaster. Their identity is a mystery to us, however we learn that Ouroboros' Grandmaster is a woman. The Grandmaster seven faithful followers who sworn their allegiance to her. They're known as the Anguis. An Anguis are strategic leaders who are in charge of planning and command for their Grandmaster's plan. The Orpheus Final Plan."

"The Orpheus Final Plan?" Ivy asked

"We don't know much about this plan by their Grandmaster, but we learn from a certain Anguis that it involve guiding the "souls of all."

"That's... rather vague." Forgado mused.

"Right. There are seven Anguis in total. And we learn that from the Second Anguis. Her name is Vita Clotilde." Altina said

"Vita was an elder sister figure to me. She and I were born from a clan of witches that are hidden from the rest of the world of Zemuria." Emma said

"Yeah. But somewhere along the way, she broke the clan's taboo and became an Anguis to Ouroboros." Celine said.

"That woman we face is the Third Anguis known as Mariabell Crois. She's a scummy traitor to my homeland, Crossbell." Juna explain. "She's from a family of ancient lineage of alchemist."

"An alchemist you say..." Ivy mused.

"Right. Of course, we also know the Seven Anguis. Who was the Steel Maiden herself." Renne said.

"Said, you mean Emblem Arianrhod is a member of that evil group?" Forgado asked as Emblem Arianrhod appeared.

"It is true. I was the Seven Anguis of Ouroboros. But I only became the Anguis because I have my own goal in mind." Emblem Arianrhod explains. "To free the man I love and my home country from an ancient evil that caused countless strife that haunted it since ancient times."

"Ah, so that's why..."

"Getting back to the topic of Ouroboros. While the Anguises are overseeing the plan crafted by the Grandmaster, they have special but powerful agents who execute their plan. They're called Enforcers. Noel—is one of their most powerful Enforcers. He's the youngest out of all the Enforcers. But don't let his age fool you. He may be young, but he's really tough and scary to boot. He can control water to his will and is a formidable swordsman."

"He's also Lianne's son." Aether added

"You have a kid?" Timerra asked, looking at Emblem Arianrhod.

"Yes. While I did adopt him, I also taken in three young women who I thought as my daughters. They're known as the Stalritter." Emblem Arianrhod nodded

"Right. But Enforcers have a special privilege to them. They have been given the freedom to do whatever they please. For example, they can turn down taking operations and requests by the Anguis and even go against their Grandmaster wishes." Aether continues.

"Wait, seriously?" Hortensia asked. "That's quite a special privilege."

"But that doesn't make any sense. Why give that kind of privilege?" Ivy asked

"We don't know either. But Ouroboros has a unique chain of command unlike any other organization." Emma explain.

"Right. Ouroboros is about willing trust. Whether you're an Anguis, Enforcer, or someone serving it, they are free to go on hiatus, go against or even leave the society without Ouroboros stopping them." Aether explain

"What a peculiar Organization. How is this organization still running?" Diamant wondered

"Their faith in the Grandmaster." Renne explain. "But there's more. Ouroboros possess advanced technology that modern society never accomplishes."

"That sounds... very frightening." Alcryst gulped.

"Still, we can't ignore that Ouroboros is a very dangerous organization. Like that woman show us back in the Northern Fortress." Vander said.

"Yeah, she can really change the whole fortress sitting into her playground, yeah?" Framme asked.

"That takes serious magic to pull something like that." Clanne agreed.

"Indeed. What's more, Mariabell form an Alliance with the Fell Dragon for whatever reason for her own. But what about Noel? If Mariabell wasn't aware of his presence in our world, why would he be here?" Céline asked

"I don't know. What we do know is he seeks knowledge. Maybe he wants to learn more about Elyos?" Alfred asked

"I have some hunches that it also evolve those Corrupted. Regardless, we need to find him and request to give those rings back." Renne said.

"Right. We need those rings for our war with the Fell Dragon. I hope he can cooperate." Alear said.

"Maybe he can help us too." Amia said. "After all, he did return two of the rings he carried with us." Amia pointed out.

"Yeah. It's worth the shot. Let's hope we can find him before he's gone." Alear said.

"But we also another person with him, right?" Kurt asked. "I wonder who is he traveling with..." Kurt said solemn

"Kurt?" Juna asked

"..." Kurt shook his head. "It's nothing. Let's hurry to Azure Coast.

"That reminds me, which Rings does Noel have?" Musse asked. "We know that Sombron has our Instructor, Celica, Sigure, Roy, Crow, Prince Olivert, and Micaiah. And the allies we have are Levi, Lucina, Lyn, Loewe, Lloyd, Ike, Arianrhod and Corrin."

"Right. By counting, Sombron has seven, we now have eight while Noel has four. If I recall back in the vault with Mother. The ring he has are... Ring of the Azure Twins, Ring of the Academy, Ring of the Courageous Maiden, and Ring of the Sage Lord."

(BGM ended)


Meanwhile...

"Hah... Do you think no one notice?" Rosado asked as he and Goldmary were riding on Rosado's Wyvern.

"No. I don't think so. It's a good thing there were few guards guarding the Ring vault. It seem most of them were preparing something." Goldmary replied.

"Yeah. Whatever it is, I'm sure it might not be good. We need to get this ring to Hortensia." Rosado said, holding the Ring of the Azure Knight. "She was last heading to Solm. Let's hope we can find Princess Hortensia and give her the Ring of the Azure Knight."

"Indeed."


One trip to the Azure Coast later... And Dateline: December 9, 1206

(Super Mario Galaxy ost - Beach Bowl Galaxy)

"Aahh..." Noel emerges from the water and then got out of the water. "Nothing's better than coming out of the water for a nice swim."

"But was it necessary to have your clothes on?" Cedric asked.

"Oh it's perfectly fine. Besides, I can do this." Noel swirl his hands and the water came out of his clothes.

"Well, that's one way to do laundry I suppose. I take it that you enjoy some sleep?"

"The bed was okay. I was worried about you though. Still haven't got used to sleeping other than "comfortable" beds?"

"I'm fine. I remember that I'm no longer who I am as I was in my past life. Therefore in my new life. I'm nothing more than a mysterious Enforcer. Of course, I doubt anyone would forget who I am." Cedric sighed.

"True. But look on the bright side. You finally got what you wanted, right? You already thought this through to the end. Even if it means leaving everything behind. I may not be able to compare to you, but I can understand it was a difficult choice. But hey, you're not alone. You got good friends like me and Shirley. And your Pokemon are your family now. Of course you're still new to the outside world but hey, you're becoming more mature each day. This kind of experience is exactly how freedom taste like." Noel smiled

"Indeed. The people of Solm are especially kind. It's a free-spirited and open-minded country. I believe Fodlan was also heading toward that direction."

"No kidding. If Fodlan became like Solm, it might as well be another Mushroom Kingdom. Hmm... I wonder how Fodlan will change. Not to mention how Byleth and his husband Yuri will have an heir to the throne."

"They might as well adopt a child. Or unless some miracle of gift from the gods, they received a child by their blood." Cedric shrugged.

"That would be some idea. I wonder if such a thing is even possible." Noel wondered. "Well anyway, I should have already prepared the data of the area. I'm gonna look at the data and see if there are any other places I have yet to map out."

"All right. But if we did map out Elyos. What are we going to do next?"

"Good question. Might as well explore it. But the problem is those annoying undead things. The Corrupted I mean. Not to mention those Elusian trashes too." Noel fold his arm. "For the Kingdom of Knowledge, they really are the most disgraceful."

"Ah, yes. I remember that they fellow the Fell Dragon who's been resurrected and claim the Emblem Rings, right?"

"Yeah. The surprising part is those Emblems have familiar faces we know. Especially that annoying loudmouth barbarian of a Bracer."

Cedric sweatdrop. "You really don't like her, don't you?"

"I wouldn't go that far. I'm just saying she's annoying. Especially since I heard her voice along with the others. I had to keep them in my bubble to shut them up." Noel told him

"And yet you gave two of the rings to that Divine Dragon after they lost theirs to Sombron."

"Well, they were idiots. But out of pity and... I can't just leave them like that... I had to give two. Though I should have given them that annoying loudmouth instead of him. But with his help. Everything will be fine for them. Lest their rings been stolen again. Then it ain't my problem. But it doesn't change the fact that the Fell Dragon is a threat to this world. My children already reported multiple report about his meal... and many lives were lost."

Cedric eye widen. "You don't mean..."

"Yeah..." Noel grimace. "I really want to shove that dragon's life with my blades. But. I'll let that Divine Dragon Twins deal with him. Unless Sombron and his lackeys really piss me off."

"Well, you really despite such vile deeds. You are your... Ah..." Cedric clear his throat.

"It's okay, Cedric." Noel said with a smile yet his eyes are sad. "I know. I am her son. But..." he place his hand over his chest. "...she's gone. I know she'll be in peace now. I'm not really to take the mantle. Or will be one since my hands are drenched in blood."

"Even so, on my personal opinion, even she has blood on her hands."

"True. I guess we really are alike, huh?"


Meanwhile with Alear...

"So this is Azure Coast, huh?" Juna asked. "Wow. It really has Azure with it with all the water."

"Yeah. It's really beautiful." Alear nodded with a smile.

"You know, when me and Céline arrive in Solm back to where we were young, we came to this route." Alfred said.

"Oh yeah! Mom told me that you and Céline wanted to met with us." Timerra said. "Sorry about that."

"It's all right. It turns out the Queen wasn't kidding about you and Prince Fogado not being in the palace. Normally, it wouldn't make sense that the prince and Princess wouldn't be in the palace, not unless there's a reason."

"Yeah, Fogado mention that you were suspicious about the family."

"Yeah, I'm really sorry about that."

"It's all right. I don't blame you. But here in Solm, we live up to its name. The Queendom of Freedom. Our culture states that everyone is allowed to be open-minded and do whatever they want. That includes us in the Royal Family. Me and Forgado do our own thing. But at the same time, we also wanted to protect Solm from any threats as possible. That's why we're quite busy."

"I wish we've known that." Diamant said

"That reminds me. I've noticed that your eyes are very different compared to ours." Venti pointed out. "What's the story behind there?"

"Oh, you wanna know? Only members of the royal family have eyes like us."

"Now that you mention it, the people of Solm don't have eyes like yours." Altina remarked.

"Yep. So where should we start looking?" Fogado wondered. "I don't see our blue-haired swordsman."

"He's got to be around here somewhere. Let's hope we can find him." Kurt said.

"No need. I see him." Yukana said.

"You do? Where?" Etie asked.

"Over there." Yukana pointed as they turned in the distance to a wide area where two figures are chatting and one of them is Noel.

"Oh, let's get going!" Florian said as they all took off.

(BGM ended)

"All right, that should be everything." Noel said. "So we should—hm?" Noel turn his head as he and Cedric have an ! over their heads as they see New Class VII, Emma, Celine, Royalties of Fierene, Brodia, Solm and Elusia and the others approaching. Cedric turn around to hide his face but also use his magic to alter his appearance. His blond hair change to brown and eyes to green. "This is rather a shock."

"Yippe! We found you!" Yukana cheered

"Huh?" Noel blinked. "Oh, it's you guys..."

"Nice to see you too, Noel." Renne said.

"Oh hey Renne~" Noel smiled

"Oh so it's Renne you're okay with?" Juna gave a deadpan look. "I honestly never thought we see you here of all places."

"Nor have I to you. Wonder never ceased. What are you guys doing in this place?"

"We should be asking you the same thing? Also, who's your friend here?" Juna asked

"Oh." Noel casually wrap his arm behind his neck. "Just a friend."

"A friend who suddenly change his hair and eye color?" Yukana asked, causing Cedric to flinch.

"Eh?" Altina blinked.

"..." Kurt gulped, looking at Cedric's who's back is turn. 'Hair color change... but... his build... it may be different clothes but... No... I know it's him.' "So... it's really you... Prince Cedric."

An ?! appeared over everyone except Noel's head.

"What?" Alear blinked.

"..." Cedric let out his hmph as he turn around to face them.

(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Sensitive Topic.)

"Prince Cedric? You're not referring to me, are you? I don't think I look anywhere near a prince stranger." Cedric said, giving a convincing tilt to his head to make it look like he's a complete stranger.

"..." Kurt let out quiet gasp, looking sad.

"Hey now that I got a good look up close... I definitely remember his physic... he really does look like him!" Juna stated.

"His hair and eyes may have change, but it's without question. It's him!" Altina agreed.

"Yeah. You're right. What's with the lying and changing your hair color princely boy." Ash fold his arm and asked

"I can assure you I have no idea what you're talking about." Cedric shrugged. "I'm just a traveling wanderer around these parts. Are these your friends Noel?"

"Well, one of them is a very good friend of mine. The others... we've met a few times. But the others I don't recognize." Noel answered

"I see. Well, nice to meet you everyone. You can call me Michael the wanderer." Cedric smiled.

"Prince Cedric, you can dropped the act. We know it's you. You're using Prince Olivert's methods to hide your identity. But we all know it's you." Musse said. "Change your appearance all you want, we can tell that it's you behind it all."

Cedric almost gave an annoyed look.

"You know him, everyone?" Amia asked.

"Yes. His name is Cedric Reise Arnor. He's the Crown Prince of Erebonia who disappeared after the Great Twilight." Altina answered

"Wait, so this guy is who you were talking about, Kurt?" Alfred asked

"The very same. The prince I've sworn to protect... and my dearest friend." Kurt said. "Your Highness... please drop the act. We been searching far and wide for you."

"I see you're still confusing me with someone else. I'm not this Prince Cedric you speak off." Cedric said

Emma pull out her staff and then cast a spell as a ray of light appeared underneath Cedric and then undo his change, causing an ?! over his head.

"Are you done playing innocent?" Celine asked

Cedric palm face. "You just had to ruin it, didn't you?" Then he look at them. "But guess you all really haven't changed... haven't you, Kurt. New Class VII. And everyone else."

"So now you decided to stop." Renne said

"Where have you been? Everyone has been worried sick when you disappeared!" Juna stated. "Kurt especially! But why are you with, Noel?"

"Your Highness, you have no idea how much everyone misses you." Kurt place his hand over his chest. "I, included. As Juna said, everyone misses you deeply when you suddenly disappeared on us? Why did you disappear?"

Cedric sighed. "You've misspoken Kurt. I am not "Your Highness". I've left that status."

"..!" Kurt gasped.

"What do you mean by "left"?" Musse asked, looking sad and surprised

"Must I spell it out for you? I mean I abandoned that life I had. I am no longer Crown Prince Cedic. In fact. He is dead." Cedric said, causing everyone an ?! over their heads. "The crown prince committed a terrible crime that led to the end of the world. He betrayed his friends, his family, and his honor as a prince, and most of all, broke so many hearts of all the people he loved and cherished. It would be better that he disappear from Erebonia... no... the world for his crime. I am nothing more than a stranger who bare his looks. Of course, I doubt any of you would believe that."

"B-Be that as it may but—"

"It's the truth." Cedric interrupted Kurt. "The Cedric you knew is dead. Just like the late Steel Maiden, I've abandoned my old life. The Cedric you all knew is dead. Nor he will ever return from the darkness."

"...!"

"So it's true then?" Renne fold her arm. "You join Ouroboros?" she asked, causing everyone to have an !? over their heads.

"Heh... Well... somewhere along the way in time... we will meet again." Cedric then chuckled. "That's exactly right. But I will save my title in a later date for now."

"Well, with that said, we should get going. Oh and don't try to stop us. We won't do anything to this world either. I'm not sure what you're here in this world but have fun with... whatever adventuring you're doing." Noel said with waving his hand,

"Wait, your Highness!" Kurt reach out his hand but Cedric slapped it away. "..!"

"Sorry, Kurt."

(BGM ended)

"Wait!" Alear called out. "This may be an awkward time, but we've been searching for you, Noel."

"For me? Why? And who are you exactly?" Noel asked

"I'm the Divine Dragon, Alear. From Lythos. And this is my sister, Amia."

"The Divine Dragons? What do a pair of Divine Dragons want with me?"

"First, you're the swordman who save our Mother's life, right? We both wanted to thank you so much for saving our mother's life." Alear smiled. "But you're also the swordsman who took the other Emblem Rings from the vault in Lythos Castle."

(Trails into Reverie ost - Lapis)

"I think you're confusing me with someone else." Noel cross his arm.

"Huh?" Alear blinked.

"For starters. I've never been to Lythos Castle. Nor save your Mother. I can't take credit for someone else. That would be wrong and stealing the glory to themselves."

"But—"

"Also, Emblem Rings?" Noel raised an eyebrow. "I have no idea what they are. Nor do I care. Like Cedric. I'm just a wandering swordsman. And we wanderers... we've just want to explore. Therefore, you're confusing me with the wrong person."

"I see..." Amia sadden.

"Noel, you may have fooll them, but you can't fool me. We already knew it's you." Renne fold her arms.

"Oh? And what make you say that?" Noel asked as Emblem Lloyd and Emblem Lucina appeared "Wha—"

"Nice to see you too, Noel." Emblem Lloyd said.

"We can't thank you for delivering us to the Divine Dragon Twins by delivering us to Princess Ivy instead." Emblem Lucina said.

"You two..." Noel scowl. "That should not be possible. I cast an enchantment on you guys from revealing my identity."

"An enchantment?" Ivy blinked. "Come to think of it, I did sense an enchantment on them..."

"While it's true you did. However, Renne found out it was you when Ivy told us who gave her the rings from your water fish."

Noel palmface. "Tch. I should have known if there is anyone from my world who know me and my powers... they would be the one to undo the enchantment I place on the rings. Guess the gig is up. Let me be clear, however. My arrival to your Mother's location in that vault was bad timing. It wasn't my intention to enter the vault, nor be caught in the progress. I thought that door would be the castle liberty. But I ended up in the vault by mistake. I was going to leave until that person appeared. She insulted me and so I decided to punish her. But I've noticed she was trying to get her hands on those rings. I may not know what they are, but I know that hold some values... including a sense of power. I can tell she plans to use whatever power within those rings for ill intention. So I took the rings for myself for safekeeping and defeated her. I was going to return it... but unfortunately, she vanished. I had no choice but to keep them with me until she returns."

"So that's why..." Alear mused. "Still. I want to thank you for keeping the rings safe and our Mother's life. We owe you a debt for that. Now that we finally found you, can you hand over the rings back?"

(BGM ended)

"No." Noel fold his arm.

An awkward silent.

Alear blinked. "Huh?"

"I said, no."

An !? appeared over everyone's head.

(Trails of Cold Steel III ost - Conspiracy in Motion)

"What?! What do you mean, no?!" Alfred asked

"S-Surely you must be joking." Céline replied.

"Nope." Noel fold his arm as he shook his head, giving a disappointed look. "I'm not joking either."

"What?! But those rings don't belong to you!" Juna stated. "They belong to Lumera, Alear and Amia!"

"And yet, who's responsible for losing the other Emblem Rings they gather on their journey?" Noel rebuttled, causing an ! over everyone's head.

"Wha—" Alear eye widen.

"I'm familiar that you two lost the Emblem Rings you gathered from Firene and that barbaric country Brodia to Sombron. Why should I hand over the rings that you two irresponsibly made?"

"But it wasn't their fault!" Alcryst interrupted.

"Hm?" Noel turn to Alcryst.

"I... um..."

"And you are?"

"You can dropped playing ignorant. I know who you are. You're the Swordman who attack my brother in Brodia." Diamant said.

"So you decided to tell your big brother, after all." Noel gave a disappointed look to Alcryst.

"I didn't have a choice! Some unexpected thing happened and I had no choice but to explain!" Alcryst exclaimed

"Regardless, you swore that you never speak of it to anyone. I guess we know who the promise breaker is. What a shame. But as much as I do like to wash Brodia into the ocean for that unwelcome greet you pulled off, I'll let it slide, out of pity... and... my condolences to your Father as well." Noel sighed.

"...!" Alcryst gasped.

"Of course, the Divine Dragon Alear and Amia isn't the only one to blame. It was you two. The two idiot princes' who want to rescue their father."

"Ngh..." Diamant clench his teeth and lower his head along with Alcryst.

"I understand you wanted to rescue your father before he became Sombron's meal to restore his power... I don't blame you for that. However, you two were responsible for Encouraging those two... and should have abandoned your father the moment you entered the Cathedral when he was turned into a Corrupted." Noel turn to Alear and Amia. "Not to mention you two should have listened to both your Emblem friends, Mona and Musse about staying away from the Cathedral and retreated, despite the pleas of your Brodian princes' requests. But instead, you went in to confront King Hyacinth, without realizing it was also a trap to get the rings while Sombron's physical form was being constructed. Because of your recklessness and stubbornness, not to mention putting too much faith in your Emblems, you fail to allow your other allies to break the door of the Cathedral to escape and allow that girl to steal the Emblem Rings right from under you with her magic. Therefore, you four are to blame for losing them."

"Nngh!" Alear and Amia clench her teeth and fist.

"That's quite enough!" Vander step in with a glare. "I will not allow—"

Noel gave a death glare and an intimidating aura that shivered anyone who hasn't gotten strong mental training. "If you value your life, old man. I suggest you shut up."

"Gah!" Vander flinched.

"In any case, you will not have your Emblem Rings back because I don't trust you two. You brought it upon yourselves for placing too much Faith in the Emblems, and even without listening to their advise and warning to stay away from the Fell Dragon. Besides, you are aware by now your enemies are plotting to get the Emblem Rings you've gathered. Which is also another reason. So I'll be keeping the rings for now. Try all you want to convince me all you want, I won't hand over the rings to any of you, especially to the two imbeciles dragons." Noel gave a disappointed look.

"You...!" Alear close his eyes and clench his teeth and fist.

(BGM ended)

Emblem Arianrhod appeared. "That is enough Noel!"

An ! appeared over Noel and Cedric, causing them to eye widen in shock.

"..!?" Noel gasped.

"No way..." Cedric eye widen.

"It can't be... M-Mother...?"

"Hehe. My, how much you grown up." Emblem Loewe appeared next. "You really have grown so much, Noel. You gain a sharp tongue."

"No..." Noel cover his mouth. "Loewe..."

(Persona 4 ost - I'll Face Myself)

"You made a sound argument. However, both the Divine Dragon Twin, and the Brodian princes have learned from this mistake. The mistake that cost them greatly. They do not need a reminder during your scolding. You already said enough."

"Indeed. While I do agree with you, Noel. But I also agree with your Mother. They learn from this mistake and will not make the same mistake again. They may have lost our fellow Emblem to Sombron, but they did not lose the battle. They are retreating and will come back to grow stronger than ever to defeat Sombron with hope, courage and determination."

"Loewe... Arianrhod..." Alear whispered.

"You guys..." Amia smiled.

"..." Noel hangs cover his eyes as his shade darken.

'...?' Cedric turn his head and notice Noel sudden silence.

"It's understandable that you wanted to protect the other Emblems Noel. But chastising those who are already feeling guilty isn't the correct choice when they already learn from this mistake. Nor the right way to motivate them. They needed love, warmth, and comfort to shape their resolve to defeat the Fell Dragon. He may have an advantage with how many Emblems he now controls, but we can turn the tides of this battle." Emblem Arianrhod stated

"That's right. We are here with them. And they have the support of everyone here. Fierene, Brodia, Solm and Elusia to unite against the Fell Dragon under one banner. A Banner to return peace to the land. I'm sure even you want this world to be at peace, right Noel?"

"Yes. You are aware of Sombrom's will intentions. Join us Noel. We can—"

(BGM ended)

'N... ...kes...' Noel whispered, coldly.

"Noel?" Emblem Arianrhod gave a confused look.

Cedric eye widen. "Uh-oh!"

Noel's face lifted, revealing an extreme anger. "YOU FAAAAAKE!" Noel suddenly summon and raised his sword and swing down a powerful slash, but Emblem Arianrhod, Aether, Shez, Kazuha, Emblem Loewe, Emblem Marth, Emblem Ike, Emblem Levi, Emblem Lucina, and Emblem Lloyd quickly block it off as a powerful shockwave covered everyone's eyes.

"Aaaugh!" Ivy shiek.

(Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories ost - Face It)

"HOW DARE YOU ALLL!" Noel roared as his aura surfaces like a pillar as he was giving everyone a death glare. "HOW DARE YOU ALL INSULT MY MEMORIES! MY MOTHER! MY MENTOR! HOW DARE YOU HAVE EMBLEMS TO FAKE THEIR VISION!" Noel grasp his head, lowering his head and shaking. "I will... I will..." Then he glared at everyone with a stream of tears. "I WILL KILL YOU ALL!"

"Gah! W-What's powerful aura!" Timerra exclaimed.

"I-I've never encountered such a formidable aura! It's like a monster!" Diamant exclaimed as Alcryst turn pale and passed out unconscious. "Alcryst!"

"Wh-What's happening? Why is he so angry?" Alear exclaimed

"He must have known Emblems are just incarnations." Renne clench his teeth. "Because of that, the appearance of the Steel Maiden—his Mother who holds in his heart so dearly along with Loewe—his mentor must have trigger his pure rage. A rage that the Emblems are mocking the people he loves so dearly. He took the death of both the Steel Maiden and Loewe so much that his emotions are out of control."

"Then... that means I've—" Emblem Arianrhod close her eyes, feeling sad.

(BGM ended)

(Fire Emblem Heroes ost - Book 6 Boss battle (Vs Veronica))

Noel readied his sword. "YOU... YOU... RAAAAAAAAAAUGH!"

Anguish Enforcer - Noel

Noel sends out a wide slash projection toward everyone, forcing them to jump out of the way or block it, knocking them away. Kurt used Twilit Blade 2 to launch black and white energy slashes to strike Noel but he dodge them and then teleported toward Kurt to slash him, but he dodge and counterattack, pushing him back with Devastating damage thanks to his Master Quart.

"NUGH!" Noel winched but glared.

Noel raised his arm and summoned a giant bubble filled with water and slam it down, creating a giant wave.

"Tidal Wave!" Timerra yelled as they were all splashed away.

"CHILDREN!" Noel snapped his finger and multiple Water-form Sharks, Fishes, Mermaids, Clams, Seahorses, Ducks and Squids appeared.

"Wha—?!" Arven exclaimed as Noel aim his sword and the Water-form minions charge at them.

Penny gasped, looking at the Water-form Shark. 'Sharks made out of water...'

"Divine one, we'll handle the monsters here! Quell that young man's anger!" Vander yelled as he Clanne, Framme, Boucheron, Etie, Louis, Chloé, Jean, Amber Jade, Lapis, Citrinne, Yukana, Zelkov, Emma, Kagetsu, Anna, Merrin, Panette, Bunet, Pandreo, Penny, Nemona, Arven, Shez, Arval, Kazuha, Mona, Alhaitham, and Aether, begin to take on the Waterform minions.

Florian change into a Morpeko and used Aura Wheel to slam Noel but he cartwheel to his left and slash him, knocking him away as Alear and Emblem Marth lung and they swing at Noel. Noel, Emblem Marth and Alear slash at each other but Noel vanished and then reappear to his left, then disappeared, revealing phantom slashes stuck around Alear

"Augh!" He yelled in agony from the critical damage as Noel readied to strike but Seadall swoop in and kick Noel away.

"The face of him... my beloved mentor who taught me more about swordsmanship... the older brother figure I look up to, love and respect... the man who left the world without saying goodbye to me..."

I won't allow anyone—or anything to insult my memories of her... And I won't allow anything to intimidate her for their own benefit. I will destroy you... AND MAKE YOU PAY!"

(BGM ended)

Alear and everyone else except Aether, Juna, Kazuha, Shez, Renne, Alhaitham, Kurt, Altina, Ash, Musse, Venti, Mona, and Emma fell on their knee and exhausted themselves.

"Ha... Ha... we... we...somehow did it..." Alear panted.

"What monstrous strength... it took all of us to defeat him...!" Diamant panted.

"Ha...ha... we took down his... creature that formed as well..." Vander panted. "Nngh..."

"Vander... ha... are you okay?" Framme asked

"I...I'm fine..."

"You bastards..." Noel slowly getting back on his feet.

"Wha... he still has enough strength left?!" Penny exclaimed

"Nngh..." Alear clench his teeth.

(Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door ost - Sadness and Happiness or the Remix - Bittersweet Musix Box or Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Sorrow Flower)

"Hah... Hah... I won't... I won't... forgive you... all..." Noel panted as he glared. "How dare you... mock... me... mock... the two very important people in my heart... I swore... I will kill you for insulting them..."

"Despite receiving devastating damage, his willpower is strong enough to keep going." Emblem Marth muttered.

"Nngh... what are we suppose to do?" Afred panted.

"Please... leave him to us." Emblem Arianrhod said as Emblem Loewe nodded.

"But..." Timerra gave a concerned look.

"It was our fault that triggered the anguish in his heart. It only right that we quell it." Emblem Loewe replied.

"Yes." Emblem Arianrhod nodded. "Noel... please listen to us."

"Nngh... Shut... up. Shut up shut up SHUT UP!" Noel yelled and glared "Stop... Stop talking like them! Stop sounding like them! You're... you're not them!"

"We both cannot deny that. As you said... we're not Lianne nor Loewe. But Emblem version of them. Even so, we are "them" who inherited their being."

"You know nothing about them... nor their past..."

"We do because we are them in a sense." Emblem Loewe said

"Lies... Nothing but lies!" Noel growled.

"Then how about we prove it?" Emblem Arianrhod asked. "We will prove that we are them that only the real "Lianne" and "Loewe would know everything about you."

"Hah... I'll play along your game... prove it..."

"When you were eleven years old back during our time in Liberl for the Gospel Plan, you crafted me a chain brooch shape like a sword with a blue gemstone in the center as a good luck charm for me before we headed off to the Liber Ark." Emblem Loewe said.

An ?! appeared over Noel's head. "...!" He gasped.

"No one but you and I knew about that secret."

"As for me. When you were twelve, you wanted me to take you Mishelum to watch the show: Mishy Mishy. But we couldn't because I was busy."

"Wait, really?" Juna blinked

"Shh!" Altina shushed her.

"Tch... my sisters already knew that..." Noel grumbled. "I'll give you one last chance..."

"There is one you swore me to keep a secret out of embarrassment. Is that what you really want?"

"Hmph. I don't know which one you're referring but give it your best shot."

"Don't say I didn't warn you. When you hit purity. You have mistaken your breasts to mistaken that of girl and begin to put on Duvalie's armor to hide it."

"..!" Noel's face turn red.

"Ooh?" Renne grinned.

"Afterward, you—"

"STOP!" Noel yelled out of embarrassment. "Stop stop! Okay, I believe you!" Then he shook his head and look at Emblem Loewe and Emblem Arianrhod. "It's true that no one know about that secret I had with Loewe and Mother... then..." Noel's tears came out. "Then that means... you really are..."

"Yes. We are them... but as Emblems." Emblem Arianrhod nodded with a warm smile

"Nngh... *sniffed*" Noel express a look he was going to cry as he made his swords disappeared, run toward the Emblems to hug them... only to pass through them. "...!"

"Unfortunately... we cannot touch any physical things..." Emblem Arianrhod told him with a sad look with Loewe. "Otherwise... we would love to hug you too."

"Oh..." Noel sniffed. "I see... then..." Noel then sad smile. "Please comfort me..."

"Of course." Emblem Arianrhod nodded with a warm smile as she and Loewe floated toward Noel for a warm comfort hug while Loewe touch Noel's head.

"*sob* *sob* *sob*... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Noel then cried out his tears while everyone watch this bittersweet moment.

For a few moments... Noel stop crying as he wipe his tears.

"Got it out of your system?" Emblem Loewe asked

"Yeah." Noel nodded as he sniffed. "Hehe... You really are my loved Brother and Mother. Who would have guessed you two would become Emblems... I guess it does make sense that you would become Emblems... You may not be them... but... I'm glad to see you two again. No matter what form you take."

"Noel..." Emblem Airanrhod said with a warm smile

Noel turn to Alear, pull his hand and then he pull out the four Emblem Rings and hand it back to him.

"This is..." Alear eye widen

"The other Emblem Rings from Lythos Castle. It was yours to begin with. I kept them safe. Now they rightfully return to you two and your Mother."

"Thank you, Noel. For returning them to us... and Helping us with the other two rings."

"It was... my pleasure... I guess..." Noel turn his back and then cast Seraphic Ring to heal everyone's wounds. "Try not to lose them again... okay?"

"We will. Thank you." Amia said as Noel begin to take off. "Wait, Noel!"

"Hm?" Noel turn to them.

"Why don't you join us? You are the reason the other rings are reunited with us."

"Yeah. Your strength will be a big boon to us against the Fell Dragon. Plus, you can talk with both Loewe and Your Mother if you're with us." Alear added.

Noel shook his head. "I appreciate the offer... but I must decline."

"Huh? But why?"

"Because I have some... business to do with Cedric. Of course, If I do join you... Cedric would too. And there's no way I can allow that, especially since the Vander over there plans to take him back when Cedric doesn't want too."

"...!" Kurt gasped

"I wish you all luck against the Fell Dragon. And..." Noel paused for a moment there before shaking his head. "No... never mind." Noel turn his back as Cedric approached with the horses.

"Wait, Your Highness!" Kurt yelled and began to run, only for Noel to conjure a water wall. "Ngh!"

Noel and Cedric climb up their horses and then take off.

"YOUR HIGHNESS!" Kurt yelled but then soon vanished within sight. "..."

The water wall then vanished.

"Kurt..." Juna sadden.

"I... I don't understand..."

Juna approached and hug her boyfriend.

"I have to admit... I wasn't expecting this outcome." Alfred said.

"Indeed... it was bittersweet." Céline agreed.

"Indeed. Still. We've gotten the other Emblem Rings." Diamant said

"Right." Alear nodded and turned to Amia who nodded. He hand over two rings. A Brown Ring with an Orange jewel and the other black ring with a purple jewel.

"And I'm Erika. Finally, it feels good to finally fight by your side." Emblem Eirka smiled.

"We're so glad that you guys are safe while Noel was in posession of you." Alear smiled

"I'll say. Though to be honest. Things got way more intense than we thought." Emblem Estelle said with a sad smile

"Indeed. But at the end of it, it was bittersweet." Emblem Erika agreed. "I hope he's be okay. He's taken good care of us."

"Yeah. Though of course, Estelle ended up causing quite a stir with him." Emblem Byleth said.

"Well can you blame me? How did you expect a familiar face would be here in Elyos?" Emblem Estelle pouted. "Speaking off, what are you guys doing here?"

"It's another long story, but basically." Renne said.


One explanation later...

"I see..." Emblem Byleth hummed. "I never thought the "me" would disappear. I must have worried everyone."

"Yeah. But for Joshua and our other friends too... somethin' ain't right.' Emblem Estelle agreed. "Still, if Sombron might be behind it all, we gotta do something about him. This started because of his return."

"Yeah. Now that we finally found Noel to return the rings... in an unexpected bittersweet way... we can begin what to do next." Alear nodded.

Ring* *ring*

"Oh!" Amia pull out her ARCUS unit. "It's from Mother!" She answered "Hello? Mother?"

"Ah, excellent! Good morning, Amia. Is your brother and everyone there?"

"Yeah, we're all awake. Were you worried about us?"

"Of course. But I also have more to share. Come to the Somniel immediately. I found something you and everyone else must hear. I'll be waiting at the Lookout Ridge."

"Okay, I'll let anyone know." Amia nodded as she hang up. "Everyone. Let's return to the Somniel. Mother called us."

"Mother?" Alear blinked. "In that case, we should—"

"Hmm?" Kazuha turn to his left and see a Wyvern flying toward their direction. "Wait, everyone. A Wyvern is riding this way!"

"Is it an enemy attack?" Clanne asked as Hortensia notice something familiar about the Wyvern.

"Wait... I know that Wyvern!" Hortensia said as she approached and eventually, the Wyvern Rider landed, hopping off was Rosado and Goldmary. "Rosado! Goldmary!"

"Hortensia! Thank goodness we found you at long last!" Rosado cheered

"I miss you guys! I'm so glad you're alive! How did you manage to find me?"

"It wasn't easy, we have to ask around all over Solm. Rosado's wyvern tired herself out. Poor dear." Goldmay answered "But what about you Horensia? You're not hurt, are you?"

"Nope. I'm perfectly fine. But I'm even better now that you are here."

"I'm glad to see you and your retrainers are united Hortensia." Alear smiled as an ! appear on Rosado's head.

"It's the Divine Dragon!" Rosado got his axe out.

"Rosado, put that away!" Hortensia ordered. "I'm on the Divine Dragon twin's side now. My sister is too."

"Princess Ivy as well?" Goldmary asked

'Pfft.' Rosado whispered. 'If you're being held against your will, blink three times.'

Hortensia sighed. "I swear it's not like that. I wanted to join them so I did. I made this choice for Elusia sake. To take back my home when it was stolen from Father by Sombron and his wicked minions. So the question is—as my retainers and friends— will you join me?"

Rosado put his axe away and look at Goldmary and nodded. "Of course, Hortensia. If this is what you want, then it's what I want too."

"Whatever banner you're under, I will defend it with all my might."

"Good." Hotensia smiled. "I knew I can count on you two."

"U,m, Divine Ones?" Rosado pull out the Ring of the Azure Knight. "Sorry about drawing my weapon at you. Here."

"Wait, this ring...!" Alear gasped

"It's the Ring of the Azure Knight!" Alcryst exclaimed.

"How did you—" We stole the ring that was guarded with less soldiers. It look like they're preparing something. But we don't know what exactly. We couldn't gather the other rings because each of them were taken somewhere else in the palace." Rosado said

"Thank you, that's good to know." Alear smiled as he takes the ring. "Cleave our path, Emblem of Saber!" He chanted as Emblem Crow appeared.

"Woohooo! Guess who's back baby?" Emblem Crow winked.

"Crow!" Alcryst cheered. "I'm so happy that you're back... I... I..." Alcryst then sob.

"Hey there, no need for the waterworks. It's good to be back, Alcryst. Divine Dragons. And I owe it all to our lovely retainers to Princess Hortensia."

"The pleasure is ours." Goldmary giggled.

"All right, now we got more good news. Everyone. Let's head too the Somniel." Amia said as she created a portal to teleport to the Somniel as they all go in and teleported away.

(BGM ended)


Meanwhile with Cedric and Noel...

(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Sensitive Topic)

"Are you feeling okay, Noel?" Cedric asked with a concern look as they ride. "That was certainly extreme."

"Yeah... I'm fine." Noel said solemn. "Honestly... I was not expecting that... the mentor who I thought as an older brother figure... and my mother... would be an Emblem to this world. This world... I'm not sure what to say... that it's cruel... or that it's wonderful. But even so... I'm really glad... so glad I can hear their voices again."

"..." Cedric sighed. "Anyway, what should we do now?"

"So far, let's find a place to eat in Firene. After that, we can—"

"Huh?" Noel pull the rein on his horse with Cedric to stopped and then he pull out his Gamma 2.0 and answer. "Hello? This is Noel speaking."

"Come now, no need to treat me so cruel. I heard you're in Elyos. But since you're here, you wouldn't mind helping me out too?"
