(Trails of Cold Steel ost - The Mysterious Old Schoolhouse)

"So many of you hail from different worlds instead of the single world?" Nel asked.

"That's' right. Originally, we plan to find our missing friends. This portal leading to Elyos was our only clue." Emma nodded

"That and the Corrupted appeared in our world as well. But it turns out that Veyle... no "Evil" Veyle was the one responsible for spreading the Corrupted thanks to a certain Mage Dragon twisted the real Veyle's mind." Celine said

"Hmm..." Nel rub her chin. "I'm not sure why but it feels like the name Veyle is familiar to me for some reason. But it would explain each of you possess outlandish weapons. As well as those... devices you have on you."

"Yeah. I thought they were magic spells but turns out they're a different form of magic?" Nil asked.

"You could call it that, but the category is still the same regardless." Alhaitham said. "Orbal Arts and Magic are no different. Of course, that alone isn't different compare to techniques."

"Right. We possess our own techniques called Crafts. But it can be no different from learning Combat Arts or techniques." Kurt said. "It comes from training."

"I see. I suppose each of you are capable of your own specialty in your way of fighting. Makes no different if any of you possess an ability or not. And of course, what also surprises me are the Emblems that came with you." Nel looking at the Emblems. "In your world, the Emblems vessel are Rings instead of Bracelet?"

"That's right. I am Marth. Emblem Marth to be precise. My Ring is called the Ring of the Hero King." Emblem Marth said

"My name is Celica. My ring is called the Ring of the Caring Princess." Emblem Celica said

"My name is Rean. My Ring is called the Ring of the Ashen Knight." Emblem Rean said

"I'm Emblem Levi. My Ring is called the Ring of the Silver Angel." Emblem Levi smiled

"I'm Lloyd. My Ring is called Ring of the Detective." Emblem Lloyd said.

"Hello. My name is Emblem Eirika. My Ring is called the Ring of the Azure Twins." Emblem Eirika smiled

"I'm Micaiah. My ring is called the Ring of the Dawn Maiden." Emblem Micaiah smiled

"I'm Roy. My ring is called the Ring of the Young Lion." Emblem Roy smiled

"I'm Lyn. My ring is called the Ring of the Lady of the Plain." Emblem Lyn greeted

"Sup. I'm Crow. My Ring is called the Ring of the Azure Knight." Emblem Crow smiled

"I am Emblem Arianrhod. My Ring is the Ring of the Steel Maiden." Emblem Arianrhod greeted

"I'm Emblem Loewe. My Ring is title the Ring of the Bladelord." Emblem Loewe said

"I'm Emblem Leif. A pleasure to meet you." Emblem Leif smiled

"Hiya!" I'm Emblem Estelle! My Ring is called the Ring of the Courageous Maiden." Emblem Estelle smiled

"And I'm Corrin. Emblem Corin. My Ring is called the Ring of the Clux of Fate." Emblem Corrin smiled.

"There are only Fourteen among us. The others are back in our world." Emblem Marth said. "However, Although we are not from version of your world, we're somehow able to assist you as we did in our world."

"We can only lend you our strength and wisdom. However, we can be tainted by Fell Energy like your other Emblems if the enemy has their hands no us. Which is why we cannot let our Rings fell unto enemies hands." Emblem Arianrhod pointed out.

"But I doubt the enemy knows about this. So we shouldn't have to worry right?" Paimon asked

"But it won't be long until they find out. But getting our Rings will be difficult for them." Aether said.

"Right. But even so, we need to be careful when we head to Firene Castle. Honestly, I'm feeling nostalgic thinking about it." Alear replied.

"Right. It was when Prince Alfred requested Mother's aid against the Corrupted." Amia nodded. "I wonder how both Alfred and Céline fare in this world."

"I guess we'll find out when we head to the Southwest." Amia said

"The southwest?" Nel raise an eyebrow. "You're mistaken. Firene is located in the southeast."

"Really? That's off, Firene is located in the southwest."

"I guess it really is a mirror version of the world." Kurt said. "Some thing are different compare to Elyos."

"I guess so. Oh, one more thing. I'm sure you're wondering about our companions here." Florian turn to Meowscarada, Pawmot, Sylveon, and Mabosstiff. "They're Pokemon."

"Pokemon?" Nil asked

"They're magical creatures in our world. They possess supernatural abilities like manupliating the elements and even otherworldly powers. Some Pokemon resembles animals and living creatures." Musse explain. "Every Pokemon has their own type and category. To put it in other words on types. Pokemon have their own properties of power that has advantages or disadvantages."

"There are Eighteen Types of Pokemon of the power they wield. Normal, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Rock, Ground, Bug, Ice, Ghost, Psychic, Flying, Fighting, Dark, Poison, Steel, Dragon and Fairy Types."

"Pardon, did you say Dragon Types?" Nel asked.

"Yep. There are Pokemon who are Dragon Type!" Nemona smirked. "Like my Goodra!" She pull out her Pokeball. "Let's go Goodra!" She toss the Pokeball and came out Goodra.

"Goodraaa~" (Hiiiii~) Goodra cheered

"Whoa! That's a Dragon?!" Nil exclaimed.

"Yep. I wouldn't let appearance deceive you. Dragon can be anything, right?" Nemona chuckled.

"I... guess so." Nil smiled. "Hiya Goodra. Nice to meet you, I'm Nil."

"Goodra!" (Nice to meet you Nil!) Goodra cheered until he look at him. "Goo?" (Hmm?)

Nil tilt his head. "Is something the matter?"

"Goodra..." (Hmm...) Goodra was staring at Nil.

"Hmm? Goodra? What got you all staring?" Nemona asked and look at Nil's face. "Oh I get it! You must think he's Handsome or a fellow dragon, huh?"

"H-Handsome you say?" Nil's cheek blushed red as he scratch his hair sheepishly.

"Meow. Meow meow." (Florian. I don't trust that man.)

"Hm? You mean Nil?" Florian asked.

"Meow!" (Shh!) Moewscarada did the shush finger. "Meow meow meow." (I got a bad feeling about him. Don't trust him.)

"Ruff! Ruff ruff." (I agree with Meowscarada. Be on your guard with him) Mabosstiff nodded in agreement with Sylveon and Pawmot.

"I see..." Florian turn his head to Nil.

"Florian?" Renne look at him. "Something on your mind?"

"Well, you can say that along with something else." Florian nodded, then lean to her ear. 'The Pokemon are suspicious of Nil. Be on your guard with him.'

'I see. It seems I'm not the only one.' Renne whispered back.

"All right, my question are answered. Come, let us make our way to Firene." Nel said as she take off.

"Wait up, Nel!" Nil followed her.

'Should we tell the others?' Florian asked.

'Hmm... No. Let's watch for now. Is something is off with Nil... we'll talk.'


One Trip to Firene later...

"Here we are, everyone. Welcome to the Kingdom of Firene!" Nil spread his arms and smiled.

"I'm suddenly getting a flashback." Juna said.

"Oh, good! I'm not the only one." Venti chuckled.

"It's strange..." Alear look around. "Just like Lythos Castle, this place feels familiar but... not."

"Hmm..." Kazuha hummed.

"Something wrong babe?" Shez asked

"The air... the sense of the flowers... It's very different compare to the Firene to we know."

"If we are finished discussing the scenery, allow me to remind you of the task that lies before us." Nel said.

"Yeah, yeah. We know." Ash said. "So what's the Bracelet that Firene has."

"The Bracelet of the Brass General and the Bracelet of the Muscian."

'Elliot and Hector...' Emma whispered.

"And time is of the essence. We must collect all eleven bracelets before our enemy does."

"I hope the royal family is willing to hand theirs over, but I do have my doubts." Nil said

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Nemona asked.

"Well, the Firenes are quite ill-tempered."

"Seriously?" Arven asked. "The Firene we know are peace lovers and good people."

"Really? Is that how the Firene is in your world?" Nil asked. "In this world, they are vengeful and quick to violence—the royal family most of all."

"Wow. Guess it really is a Mirror Version of the world." Penny said.

"That made them useful allies in wartime, despite their distant for Fell Dragons. But ever since the Divine Dragon Twin's death, they have completely avoided visiting us in Lythos."

"Hmm... They probably feel anguished about visiting the place that belong to their friend." Paimon shrugged. "But the ruler of Firene is Queen Éve, right?"

Nel shook her head. "No. She died at the start of the last war. And her throne remained empty until after the war ended, when King Alfred took her place. But as Nil said, he subsequently cut ties with us. We were forced to take precautions. So we asked a trusted friend to be our eyes and ears in Firene."

"A friend? Who?" Venti asked

"She is due to meet us here shortly." Nel replied.

"Lady Nel, Lord Nil!" A familiar yet cheerful voice responded as they are coming closer. "Hello, hello!"

"Ah, Zelestia. We were just talking about you." Nel smiled as the person who appears to be Zelphia

(BGM ended)

Everyone got an ?! over their heads.

"Wha—?!" Florian glared

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - A Fight for Peace)

"I've been earerly awaiting your arrival." Zephia? greeted with a warm smile.

"Zephia!" Florian pull out his dagger as the others got out their weapons.

"Meow!" (You!) Meowscarads readied his cat claws with a glare.

"Wah!" Zephia flinched.

"Everyone, wait!" Nel spread her arm. "She's a friend, not an enemy."

"A friend? That woman caused us so many trouble and done so many horrible things!" Arven yelled

"What are you talking about?" Zephia? shook her head, shivering. "I didn't do anything to you, I swear!"

"Everyone, wait!" Emblem Rean called out. "She's not the enemy."

"But Insturctor—" Juna trailed off.

"Remember, this is a parallel world. And the people here are the opposite of the people we know. Plus I don't sense any ill intention from her."

"Rean's right. She's not Zephia, but someone who bares her resembles." Emblem Marth agreed.

"Oh..." Florian sweatdroped as they put their weapons away. "Sorry."

"U-Um... It's all right. I certainly wasn't expecting to be startled like that." Zephia? sighed. "Come to think of it, who are you all?" Then she spotted Alear and Amia. "Wait a moment... you two... why do you look like the Divine Dragon Twins?"

"Actually... we're..." Amia trailed off.

"Oh Glorious Day!" Zephia? jump in joy and approached them. "Divine Ones, you've been reborn! I knew you could never leave us! Not permanently, anyway! I knew that Divine Dragon King Alear wouldn't be bested so easily against Sombron. And that Divine Dragon Queen Amia to—"

"Zelestia." Nil wave to get her attention.

"Yes, Lord Nil?"

"I hate to burst your bubbles but... this is not who you think it is."

"Sorry for the confusion. We're actually the Divine Dragon from another world."

Zelestia blinked. "What?"

"Apologize Zelestia. We should have let you know sooner." Nel sighed. 'This is not the old friends we knew. Rather, these are the savior whom Nil and I summoned with an ancient ritual. Everyone else were also summon via the ritual with them."

"These Divine Dragons along with everyone here arrived in the castle sanctuary after your departure to Firene." Nil added

"I... I see..." Zelestia frowned. "Of course, what was I thinking? I was there when we buried the Divine Dragon Twins. I held both their lifeless hands in mind as we said our goodbyes..."

"I know this is difficult Zelestia." Nel place her hand on Zelestia shoulder.

"I shouldn't get so emotional. That loss was just as difficult for the two of you." Zelestia said. "Hello everyone. My name is Zelestia. I am a Mage Dragon of some small renown. I always considered you both and Queen Lumera of this world to be my family. It's an honor to make your acquaintance."

"No, please." Alear shook his head with a smile. "Let's skip past "acquaintances" and just be friends."

"Really? That's funny! That's just what the Divine Dragon Twins I know would have said. But what about the rest of you? And..." Zelestia turn to Emblem Marth and Emblem Rean. "Do my eyes decieved me or... are they Emblems?"


One introduction later and explamation...

"I see. So many to remember but... I can take it. But Emblems from another world including the Pokemon are so amazing!" Zelestia giggled.

"Again, sorry for raising our weapons at you." Aether sighed.

"It's all right. But what do you mean that I've cause you trouble?"

"Well... Um..." Paimon scratch her hair.

"You... resemble someone we know... someone we... despise." Florian said explain as he sigh. "She was a wicked woman who help harm innocent people, set villages ablaze and done more evil actions etc, etc. Worst of all, she serve Sombron."

Zelestia gasped. "How horrible! How could anyone side with that monster? Well at least the me in your world doesn't serve Sombron, right?"

"Well..." Alear trailed off.

'Oh I feel really bad for her.' Penny muttered.

"Zelestia, we should focus on the news for now. What's the news on Firene Castle? You were stationed there for some time."

"Ah, right. Firene is making plans to invade its northern neighbors." Zelestia answered

"Brodia."

"What? Invade Brodia?" Venti asked in disbelief. "Who would come up with that idea?"

"The idea was Princess Céline's—it's technically still waiting for King Alfred's approval." Zelestia explain.

"Princess Céline?" Musse gasped. "Oh no wait... it's this world of Céline. She really is different compare to the Céline we knew."

"But why would Céline want to start a war with Brodia?" Renne asked

"I can only speculate that it was for her own ambition, considering the young princess is mustering a force of elite knights." Zelestia answered. "We can no longer stand by and simply watch how this unfolds."

"Agreed." Nil nodded. "We must go to the castle and head off this war before it begins."

"Another thing... Firene's Emblems has been altered somehow since the last time I saw it."

"Then that means our enemy must have awaken the Emblem with Fell Energy. So we're too late." Kurt said.

"But the Emblems still hold in the royal families hand, right?" Ash asked. "The plan doesn't chance but we need to be careful."

"Yes." Nel nodded. "Let us proceed to the castle and reclaim the Bracelet of the Brass General and the Bracelet of the Musician."

"I just hope that Alfred and Céline are willingly to talk with us." Amia muttered

"Here's hoping." Mona sighed.

(BGM ended)


Meanwhile in Firene Castle

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Scheming)

"Still, Alfred?" Céline scolwed. Still undecided about whether to invade?"

"Don't trust me, Céline. This is a big decision. I need time to think it over." Alfred told her.

"No, you need to take action!"

"It's not that easy. Brodia was our ally. It we pick a fight with them, there's no going back."

Céline sighed. "Since Mother and our retainers died in the last war, it falls to us to defend our people. Don't you know they are suffering? With the Divine Dragon gone, the world is falling to ruin. Our crops and flowers are losing their color. Soon the farms will go barren. The only possible remedy is to expend our territory and supplement our resource. Now."

Alfred sighed frustratedly. "I know, I know— as a mining economy, Brodia can spare the resource we need. So an invasion could really help us out with wealth and minerals. It's a decent plan, but there's a big hole in it—the strength of Brodia's military."

"Which is precisely why I assembled an order of knights to defeat them. Or it is their Emblems you worry about?" Céline scoffed. "That silly princess and swordman is no match for the Brass General and the Musician."

"You forget that swordman is the strongest Emblem who product projections in the form of wind. He could blow or push back the army with ease. No matter how good our odds look we could still lose everyone." Alfred grumbled. "Lest not forget that our retainers, so sure they'd come out on top, all falling like petals. That was the same day our strongest ally, the Divine Dragon King, left us forever. His sister soon join him after the assassination."

Céline sighed. "You have changed, Alfred. You used to be afraid of nothing and no one. When the Divine Dragon twins were lost, so too was your spine. I will handle it, then."

"Meaning what?"

Céline turn her back. "Meaning I will head to Brodia on my own, without your permission."

"With no knights?" Alfred asked in disbelief "Are you trying to get killed?"

"Facing either death by the sword or a broken heart as our people die, I choose the formal!" Céline then close her eyes. "Should I perish, perhaps a real hero will emerge and lead our people. I'm content with that. As for the Brodia." She open her eyes with a dark serious look. "If they must suffer in order for our people to live, so be it. After all, one country's loss is another's gain."

Alfred growled. "I just can't get through to you, can I?"

"It's not your fault you were cursed with a stubborn fool for a sister. However, if you want her to have any hope of survival, you must make a choice. What will it be, Your Majesty."

Alfred sighed. "Fine. You win. You're the only family I have left. If you're set on this, I'll at least give you a fighting chance. Consider the invasion approved."

Céline dark grinned. "Thank you, Alfred."

"Let's go. I'll give your knights official notice to prepare for battle."

"Wait. Please." Nel's voice was heard as she and the others approached.

"Well if it isn't Nel and Nil." Alfred grumbled.

"It has been quite some time, King Alfred, Princess Céline. Pardon the interruption, but we are here to discuss an urgent matter."

"Is that so? You know I could have executed you for barging in here uninvited. That includes the strangers with you."

"True. Simply return the Bracelet of the Brace General and the Bracelet of the Musician to us and we will leave you alone."

"You're joking right?" Alfred glared. "You do realize that if we turned it over, the balance of power between nations would fall apart."

Nel scowl. "So you intend to continue to wield it as a weapon against your peers. It is precisely because they do the same that you now stand upon the blink of war. I do not think the Divine Dragon Twins would find this behavior acceptable."

"Oh! You presume to speak on behalf of the Divine Dragon Twins?" Céline scoffed. "Curious, considering your father was the one who denied us divine counsel forever."

"How dare you!" Nil yelled. "We have nothing to do with that! How many times must we tell you that we are not Sombron?"

"Control yourself, Nil." Nel told him.

Nil sighed. "Of course. I'm sorry."

"Rest assured that we are making the same journey to each of the other bracelet holders. We are reclaiming all of them. With that in mind, there is no need for you to keep Firene's any longer."

"How do we know this isn't a trick to weaken us and strengthen out enemies?" Alfred asked, giving a dirty look. "Show us proof you took the other counties' bracelets, and then we'll talk."

'They really are not the Alfred and Céline we know...' Musse thought.

"Firene is our first destination. We have not reclaimed the other bracelets yet." Nel responded

"Then there is nothing moe to discuss— we match to Brodia." Céline said coldly. "The Bracelet's power is indispensable to our invasion efforts. We will not simply hand it over."

"Still you refuse to comply. In that case, you have left us with no choice."

"If it's a battle you want." Céline summon her tome with a smirked. "We will be only too happy to oblige."

"Please stop!" Alear approached as Juna, Musse, Altina, and Nemona step out of the way for Alear and Amia to stand between them.

An ?! appeared over Alfred and Céline's head.

"Divine Ones?!" Céline gasped. "Impossible... how could... no... no of course not..."

"Why do you feel like the Divine Dragon?!" Alfred then glared to Nel and Nil. "You told us our friends was dead you wretches! Were you lying to us?"

"No. We're from another world." Amia said

"What?"

"No, there's only one explanation." Céline glared. "This must be one of the Corrupted. The Fell Dragons used their vile magic to make this twisted puppet of our fallen friend."

"No, you got it all wrong! Listen to us!" Alear pleaded.

"Silence imposter!"

"To think you Fell spawns did something so sick just to steal our bracelets." Alfred glared. "No doubt the tears you shed over the Divine Dragon's twins death were a trick as well. I thought, as formal allies, we could resolve this peacefully. You deceit changes things. Knights, get ready for battle!" Alfred yelled as he pull out his lance and Firene's soldiers draw out their weapons. "See to it that SOmbron's children are finally put down! We'll bring their severed heads to Brodia as a symbol of our might!"

"Yes!" Céline smirked. "There is the brother I know— the fearsome man they called the Prince of Strewn Flowers. Now, as you did in the war, cast our foes to the ground like so many mangled roses!"

"Tch. Should have known it would be like this." Ash brought out his axe.

"Ngh! Then we got no other choice but to fight back and snapped them out of it!" Juna muttered.

"Prepare yourselves everyone. These may be familiar faces to you all, but they will show you no mercy." Nel draw out her Spear.

Emblem Marth appeared. "It cannot be help. Come, we must fight."

"Another Emblem!?" Alfred gasped. "So you summon another Emblem at your side, huh? Soldiers! Deal with them and be cautious with that Emblem!"

(BGM ended)

(Fire Emblem Engage Fell Xenologue ost - Inconstant Ones (Frenzy))

"Let's go everyone! Defeat Alfred and Céline!" Amia yelled

"Haaah!" They warcry as they charge to clash with Alfred, Céline and the Knights.

More Firene Soldiers charge into the throne room.

"Meowscarada, Frenzy Plant!" Florian yelled

"Meoooooww!" Meowscarada's body glow light green aura and raise both arms to the air and giant roots came out from the ground and aim toward the Firene's soldiers, knocking them out of the way as they screamed in agony.

"What in the—!" Céline gasped.

"We'll hold them off! Get the Bracelet!" Florian yelled as the others nodded.

"Amia!" Alear nodded.

"Right!" Amia nodded as she and Alear lung toward and slash Alfred and Céline away

"Augh/Ough!" They rolled, rolling on the floor and then getting back on their feet.

"Nngh! How dare you wicked Fell Dragon." Alfred glared and then whistle. His white horse appeared out of nowhere and then climb up, ready to fight. "First a green cat controlling fines and now this?! You'll regret this!" Alfred pull out the Bracelet of the Brass General, put it on, and then Emblem Hector cloaked in red appeared.

"Indeed!" Céline pull out the Bracelet of the Musician and wore it, then Emblem Elliot cloaked in red aura. giving a cold look and readied his Orbal Staff. "Prepare to have vanished Imposters!"

"I really don't want to do this... but they're leaving no other choice." Alear muttered as he and Amia form combat links as Emblem Marth and Emblem Levi appeared by their side. "Let's go Amia!"

"Right!"

"There." Alear sighed as he approached Alfred while Amia approached Céline and both took the Bracelet away from them and then regroup with each other.

They see Zelestia throw Elthunder on the knights and then Penny fire beams of energy to knock the knights away while everyone else took them down.

"It seems we managed." Nel said.

"Nel, Nil. We've recovered the Bracelet."

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - The Twelve Stars)

"Well done, Divine Ones. Emblem Hector dwells within that Bracelet you took from King Alfred while Emblem Elliot from Princess Céline." Nel nodded her head. "Emblem Hector embodies the fighting spirit of the Firenese while Emblem Elliot embodies raising the spirits of the Firene with music." She said as Emblem Hector and Emblem Elliot appeared and floated, remaining emotionless. "Emblem Hector was once daring and gallant and Emblem Elliot was benevolent and Courageous. Now, as Zelestia informs us, they are tainted by evil."

"It really pains me to see Hector at this state." Emblem Lyn sadden.

"Same with Elliot. Just seeing him like this... Oh, I can imagine Annette would feel worst if she were here now." Emma sadden.

"Especually us." Emblem Rean nodded with Emblem Crow.

"I wish we can summon them again. Give them a fresh start." Alear muttered

"There is no point lamenting what cannot be changed. I will return them to Slumber." Nel said as she begin the pray.

"Rest easy now, Emblem Hector, Emblem Elliot." Amia said solemn.

"Thank you." Emblem Hector groaned, causing everyone's head to have a !? over their heads.

"Again, the Emblem speaks!" Nel said in shock

"It really is regrettable to go into slumber, but perhaps that is for the best." Emblem Elliot groaned. "I cannot stand... hearing those awful discords and fighting those innocent people."

"It's great to see you Lyn... a pity... that we have to disembark so soon. I just hope we can all stride into battle together... someday." Emblem Hector said solemn.

"Oh Hector..." Emblem Lyn sadden.

"Yeah... and while we fight for peace... we can all enjoy a ballad together. Where the music will heal the souls of all, heal the land... and... enjoy each other's company." Emblem Elliot let out a warm smile. "I hope we can.. do that someday...and... chat with you..."

"Hey, I'm sure we will someday, Elliot." Emblem Crow sad smile.

"But right now, get some rest Elliot. I'm sure someday we'll see each other again." Emblem Rean smiled

"Goodnight Hector." Emblem Lyn wave goodbye.

"Goodnight Elliot." Juna wave her hands.

"Good night. New Class VII... Emma... Celine... and... the rest of you." Emblem Elliot smiled as he and Emblem Hector disappeared into the ring.

(BGM ended)

"It's done." Nel said.

"Nngh..." Alfred groaned as he and Céline got back on their feets. "We've... lost..."

"How... can this be." Céline lower her head.

"That is enough King Alfred. Princess Céline. We turn both Emblem Hector and Emblem Elliot to Slumber." Nel said.

"King Alfred. Please, call off your incision." Alear requested.

Alfred sighed. 'Without the Bracelets I don't have much choice."

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - A Fight for Peace)

"But... is it true? That you and Amia are from another world?"

"Yes, it's true." Amia nodded her head.

Alfred sigh. "Adds up, I guess. If you were our Divine Dragon twins you wouldn't have taken our bracelet by force. You'd have sided with us... or you'd at least have been nicer."

"Hey Alfred." Ash fold his arm. "You and your sister were so hungry for war and enrage that you refuse to listen to reason. You two didn't give us much of a choice but to knock some sense into you. You brought it upon yourself."

"Ash." Juna scolded.

"No. He's right." Kurt said. "We only came here as Nel said, to reclaim the Bracelets so that we can protect them from falling into evil's hand. It's understandable that grief and sorrow of the ones you love and cherish would make you feel... anguished. But... it doesn't give you the reason to behave so hostile, let alone invade another's country."

Alfred sighed. "I guess you guys are right. We're... sorry."

"It's all right Alfred. I know that losing a friend is painful."

"Hehe... you're kind to forgive me. I'm glad to met you two. You may not be from this world, but I can tell you two have the Divine Dragon's heart. Again, I apologize deeply for thinking you two were one of the Corrupted."

"For my part, I owe an apology to Nel and Nil." Céline said solemn. 'I entrusted you, tying you unfairly to SOmbron. You are not to blame for his action. I am deeply, truly sorry for losing my composure."

"Noted." Nel said

"We were all devastated to lose our Divine Dragons. Of course, we understand." Nil said.

"It must have been tough for everyone in this world for the loss of the Divine Dragons." Mona sighed.

"Yeah." Penny nodded in agreement.

"Hey, I've got an idea." Alfred said. "How about you take us with you? A little extra muscle might come in handy if you're going around collecting bracelets."

"Yes! An excellent idea." Céline clapped her hands. "I already have my knights assembled. They could come as well."

"Oh that's a great idea!" Juna smiled.

"It would be a great comfort having you two on our side." Alear smiled

"Alas, we cannot." Nel interrupted.

"Huh? Why not?"

"It is out of the question. And it is not your choice to make, Divine One."

"Oh yeah. and why's that?" Ash asked.

"While it is true that we summoned you all for help, this is not your army. Whatever authority you are accustomed to in your own world does not apply here.'

"Oh... I see..." Amia muttered. "I guess you do have a point."

"You'll have to forgive us, everyone. Nel is harsh, but she speaks the truth." Nil said. "I am also opposed to allowing the Firenese to join us. Besides, we already got many of us. I think we're capable handling this on our own."

"But..." Alear muttered. "I need to make up somehow for treating you all so badly. Let me help keep you safe."

"The battlefield is no place for a king. The people need their ruler to watch over them." Nel told him.

"Not only that, but think of what would become of your kingdom if it were to lose you." Nil agreed. "Firene would be left entirely without a monarch. Or even an heir."

"Then at least let Céline and her knights go with you." Alfred said

"The King's sister is every bit as indispensable. And the knights must defend their castle. If your intention is to make amends to us, then I would ask you to think foremost of yourselves."

"Fair enough."

"If that is what you wish, we will accept it." Céline sighed. "Shall we keep our bracelets here in Firene?"

"Why?" Nel asked

"I can assure you we will not misuse it. After all, we can't awaken sleeping Emblems. But if our enemy wants to collect the bracelets, is it not safer to keep them apart?"

"Hmm... That would be logical, sure. But the problem is our enemy has the power to awaken Emblems." Penny said. "It would be irrelevant if we let them stay here, right?"

Nel nodded in agreement. "Right. And if that happens, there is no telling what havoc the Brace General and the Musician will wreak."

Alfred sighed "Better to keep them with you, since you can put them back to sleep. Makes sense."

"I appreciate your understanding."

"Nothing more to discuss, then. We'll head back inside and leave the bracelets with you." Alfred rub his arms. "I'm sorry to give it up, but at least it's in the right hands. More importantly, Divine Ones."

"Yes?" Alear asked

"The hardest part of all this is saying goodbye to you, my old allies. But I'm so glad you're back. When we lost you, I... I was beside myself."

"Um, Alfred. We're not the Divine Dragons you knew remember?" Amia told him. "We're from a different world."

"Oh, right! Silly me." Alfred scratch his hair sheepishly. "I'm new to the throne, so I've been burning the candle at both ends. Guess I'm a little worn out. Not very becoming of a king, is it?" He sighed. "If I'm not careful, people will start to talk."

"It's all right. I am here to support you, Alfred." Céline smiled. "Let's head back so you can rest, hm?" He said as Alfred nodded.

"Of course Céline."

"I will begin thinking about ways to revive industry here in Firene without resorting to war. As for you all... when your mission is done, please do come back and visit with us."

"Yeah. Best of luck."

"Of course." Alear nodded in a smile.

"Let us be off." Nel said as everyone take off.

Later...

(Fire Emblem Engage Fell Nenologue ost - Twin Dragon's Hope)

"Hey, is it me or is Alfred a little strange?" Florian asked.

"Probably just terrified. My sister does have that effect on people when she's angry." Nil said.

"I was not angry." Nel remarked

"Sounds like it though when they accuse you." Ash said.

"He's got a point. I mean anyone would be anger if they were falsely accused." Shez said.

"Again. Not angry." Nel grumbled.

"But Nil's got a point, though. You were too harsh with your words." Alear said

"I refused their offer to join us on principle. You, along with Amia and your comrades do not have the right to invite them."

"I already apologized for that, didn't I?" Alear glared.

"Okay, okay, enough. Bickering at each other isn't going to help." Arval stated.

"Apologize. It seems we have to agree to disagree." Amia fold her arms.

'Um... Lord Nil.' Zelestia whispered. 'Is there something going on between them?'

'They've been tense with each other from the very start. It is becoming a bit of a problem.' Nil sighed. 'I wish me and the others can convince them to get along.'

'Perhaps it's hard to accept that the two is, in fact, a different person. It is quite unexpected. In the past, Lady Nel was so...'

"I am right here, you know." Nel glared.

"Uh... my apologies."

"Well on the bright side there wasn't an assassin this time." Kazuha said.

"Yeah. I don't think I could have handled it since it was hard on fighting Alfred and Céline." Alear said.

"But that does not mean they will not show up again. We should remain on guard." Nil advised.

"True." Amia nodded. "You don't think we might be fighting twins, do you?"

"What do you mean, Divine One?" Seadall asked.

"Do you guys remember back in Lythos Castle when Nel mentioned that the Fell Dragon children are always born as twins? Of course, it is just my thoughts."

"It is possible." Nel said. "But nearly all Fell Dragon children lose their twin siblings as they mature. I do not think it is terribly likely."

"What do you mean by "lose their twin siblings"?" Arven asked

"This is the first I've heard of it." Zelestia admit. "Lady Nel and Lord Nil, you're still together."

"We are exceptionally fortunate to be so." Nil let out a smile but his expression is sad.

"Then I'm glad neither of you lost your other half. That would've been awful."

"Haha, kind of you to say."

"There is no point to baseless speculation. Let us focus on reclaming Brodia's bracelet." Nel reminded.

"I'm kinda wondering about Brodia of this world is now." Musse wondered.

"Guess we'll find out once we keep going." Altina said.

"Let's keep going everyone." Nel said as they take off.

"In the meantime, why don't we start chatting to kill some time?" Alear asked.

"Why not?" Paimon suggest. "Oh, I got a good story! Okay so—"

As Paimon begin talking, Nel secretly removes her presence and make her way toward Firene Castle. Unknown her her, Mona and Renne notice.

'Hm?' Renne thought.

'Where is she going?' Mona whispered as Renne heard.

Flashback...

(Fire Emblem Engage Fell Xeologue ost - Recollections)

"It seems like we lose more siblings by the day." Young Nel, holding her twin's hand. "Pairs of twins like us do seem to be getting rare."

"More and more, I see them talking about killing one another." Young Nil shivered. "They call each other weak. They laugh at twins who haven't fought to the death yet."

"Unthinkable."

"I'll be next. I'm sure of it. They'll come for a failure like me any day now."

"Do not say such things."

"But it's true. Stronger ones than me have already died—ones who were much more useful to Father. Even if I'm not next, it's only a matter of time. I'm so scared."

"Nil. Listen to me. Come what may, I will protect you. I swear it."

(BGM ended)


Meanwhile back in everyone's Elyos...

(Persona 3 ost - Fearful Experience)

"You needed my help, Sombron?" Chaos Rean, sitting on a throne with his hand on his cheek, supported by his elbow and cross his leg.

"Yes. I thank you for making time while you are busy, Master." Sombron said as a bow. "My Hounds has failed me. What's more. I only have one Emblem Ring in my possession. My goal to seek vengeance will not be within reach... and... to search my only friend in existence."

"Is that so? Very well. You caught me in a good mood so I will grant you another power to aid you." Chaos Rean opened his hand and then a sphere of energy product from said hand. It flew toward Sombron. Entering his body as he cloak an aura.

"Oooh..." Sombron look at his body. "This power... this...overwhelming force... What power have you blessed me?"

"The power to manipulate the Septium Veins."

"The Septium Veins?"

"A source of power within the earth of Zemuria. With unlimited power, you are free to do as you please. You're free to bless this power to your daughter or your hounds and amplify their strength. Summon cryptids and golems called Magic Knights at your command. You should feel more power. This should be enough power to reclaim those Emblem Rings and more."

"I see. Thank you for your generosity, Master. But I am unfamiliar with these creatures you speak off."

Chaos Rean snapped his finger and then three portals manifested and a Magic Knight: an Orthim appeared along with a Purgatorial Wolf Agnagarn and One of the Seventh Seven Devils, Yyd Vanas.

"Oh." Sombron mused.

"The Golem-like is the Magic Knight. Construct of ancient mages of Erebonia. They're powerful enough to cause chaos and destruction as you please. The blazing wolf is one of the cryptids. Otherworldly beasts with otherworldly powers. And lastly as a bonus. Demons from the underworld. All of these are yours to command. All you need to do is concentrate as a vision of the collection is yours to choose which one you wish to summon. And I will also grant you a power that will stir chaos and benefit you well. That is all you need."

"I see. I understand, Master. I thank you for your kindness." Sombron said as Chaos Rean snapped his finger causing the three monsters to disappear.

"Now, remember this power well at the right time. This will aid you well." Chaos Rean's hand cloak in red as Sombron was cloak in a red aura.

"Ooooo..." Sombron moaned. "This power..."

"Use that power well. Use it at the right time to stir chaos and death in this world. Then I shall be off. I have pawns I need for the preparation of the end." Chaos Rean smirked as he vanished.

"I wonder what plans he seeks..." Sombron was amused until the door knock. "Enter."

The door open and came in was Mariabell. "Hello Lord Sombron. I have some unfortunate news for you. I cannot find the Emblem Rings that sink to the water."

"What?"

"I already searched even the deepest part of the water where they've lost it and with a little help search for them. I doubt check and scan it, but it seems the rings have either been taken."

"Taken by whom?" Sombron glared.

"I cannot say for certain but if I can make a guess. It's possible that your enemies must either learn it or decide to use their water Pokemon to search for them." Mariabell answered. "Of course, this is my speculation."

"Hm..."

"Oh don't give me that look. But I have some good news. I brought the new toy that can be used for you in the war against the Divine Dragon."

"Hmm... Let me see it." Sombron said and then Mariabell snapped her finger.

A teleportation circle appeared and then a gigantic shadow appeared.

"Oh." Sombron mused.


Meanwhile somewhere in Elyos...

"Really? Even our late Steel Maiden and Bladelord are Emblems in this world you enter?" Campanella asked in the call.

"Trust me, I am as shocked as you are when I first entered this world." Noel replied. "I never thought that both Mother and Loewe would be here in spirit form. I've already added everything into our database, as well as photos, so you can see them for yourself."

"I'll look into what you report along with the Anguishes, including the Grandmaster. Still, to think even our late Bladelord and Steel Maiden... are you sure you're not in denial Noel?"

"Campanella, you know I love you, but do you really think I would be joking? 'sides, I already sent photos from the probes as proof. You should see it among the report."

"I'm not giving you the benefit of the doubt. It's just that world you're in is... far-fetched. But I know you're telling the truth. With the Fell Dragon causing some mischief in his own world. It's not our business to interfere, nor even care."

"Speaking of that abomination, I just got a call from that bitch Mariabell. She requested me and the professor to borrow and test the prototype that we been working on, inspired when he heard a certain pirate. What's more, she forms a temporary alliance with him. To require some magic materials and knowledge in her own research... and to whether Sombron will pose a threat to the Grandmaster."

"Really? So that is what Lady Bell is up to?"

"Yes. Sombron plans to gather all the Twenty Emblem Rings since they grant world-altering powers."

"World altering powers, you say? It's never ending with so much supernatural powers doesn't it? Still, this is all enlightening."

"Yeah. So tell me, are you planning on seeing "them" for yourself?" Noel asked

"I would love too Noel. But alas, I'm quite busy. Did you try calling Mcburn?"

"Sadly, that guy isn't picking up with whatever he's doing."

"Figures. And the Stalritter?"

"I'm going to give them a call after this."

"Okay, then let me know anything from Lady Bell and others to report Noel. I'll be counting on you~. Chao~" Campanella hang up.

Noel sighed and scroll down his Gamma 2.0. "I should have figured he wouldn't believe me unless he sees it for himself. Not that I blame him." He tap the screen and begin calling. "Hello, Duvalie. Get Ines and Ennea. I need you three to visit me in a world in Elyos. To get there, use the portal from Smash Bros Castle. There is something you three should see."

(BGM ended)


Meanwhile back in Alternative Elyos

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Dark Shadow)

"Hah..." Alfred lay on the bed. "What a day it has been."

"Perhaps it would help if I fetch you some tea. Hand on a moment, I'll go fetch some."

"All right. I'll go take nap while you make some tea." Alfred said as Céline nodded and leave the room.

As Alfred close his eyes for a moment, he begin to hear footsteps.

"Hm?" Alfred open his eyes and see Nel. "Wha—?! Nel? Why are you here?"

"Apologize for coming in here this time. But I will ask you one question. Were you responsible for sending an assassin back in Lythos Castle?" Nel asked

"An assassin? What are you talking about? I never or issue an assassin."

"And Princess Céline?"

"Impossible. Céline wouldn't dare send an assassin to Lythos Castle not without a good reason."

"I see. Then I have no use for you."

"What do you—" Nel brought out her lance and impale Alfred's chest. "Gwaaaugh!" He yelled in agony as his eye widen. "Ah... Ah... Aaa..." His eyes rolled up and fell on his bed as Nel pull it out. She turn to the door and begin to hide.

The door opened. "Brother? What was that scream just now?" Céline approached with the tea until she dropped it and cover her mouth in horror. "A-Alfred?"

"Let me ask you something, Princess Céline." Nel said from behind her.

Céline flinched "Bah! You! You... You did this, didn't you!?"

"Did you send the assassin to Lythos Castle?"

'What? An assassin? What made you think I would—No... Never mind!" Céline draw her tome. "I'll kill you!" She throws fire magic but Nel dodge swiftly and then impales Céline. "Aaaaaugh!" she dropped her time. "Y-You... vile... snake... I should have... never..." Her eyes rolled up as Nel pulled out her Lance.

"Hmm. So it's just as King Alfred said. I better return before the others notice I'm not there." Nel said as she jump out the window.


Oh damn. It just got serious with Sombron. What did Mariabell bring to them? Oh and here's the enemy data for Fell Alfred and Fell Céline.
