"Huaaaaaah!" Randy swing his halbard and slain the Corrupted Warrior.

"AAAAUGH!" It screeched and then died.

"Ha. That's the last of those undead freaks." Randy put his weapons away.

(Trails to Azure ost - Feeling Crushed)

"The portals keep coming and coming." Elie let out a sigh and put her pistol away. "But what matters now is the people won't be harm by them."

"Although it does bring me some chills when facing an undead corpse of someone who died." Tio grumbled.

"Indeed. If I recall, they were somewhat similar to Risens, yes? The same forces use by the Fell Dragon Grima if I remember corrected from the others." Aoi said.

"Yeah. They're no different than monsters if you think about it." Randy turns to Elie. "But you feelin' okay Elie? I've noticed you were feelin' distracted during the whole fight."

"Oh. I'm sorry. I was just thinking about Lloyd..."

"Oh..."

"We all are thinking about him. But, our pales in comparison to you, Elie." Tio said. "I'm grateful for Renne giving us the heads up at least. You remember?"


Flashback...

*rnig, ring*

"Oh." Tio pull out her ARCUS Alpha. "It's a call from Renne."

"I wonder what she's calling us." Elie wondered as she answered with everyone else, revealing a group chat with Eula, Tita, Agate, Klaudia and Jostte.

"Well this is a big surprise. Hey everybody!" Josette said.

"Oh hey Josette! SSS." Tita smiled

"So Renne called you two, huh?" Agate asked

"Indeed I have." Renne said

"This is rather surprising Renne. What decided you to call all of us?" Eula asked.

"Well, it involves a certain someone who had disappeared with the others. However. I wanted to give you a heads-up and not confuse them with Lloyd."

"Huh? What do you mean by that, Renne?" Klaudia asked

"Hello, everyone."

Elie gasped in shock as Emblem Lloyd join the chat.

"Everyone, I wanted you to meet—"

"LLOYD!" Elie screamed.

"Lloyd, there you are!" Randy shout. "What happened to you?! Do you know how much you worried us? Especially, Mademoiselle?"

"Wait, guys, hold on—"

"I'm so relieved to see you're okay. But what happened to you, Lloyd? You gave me a heart attack when you disappeared. We search all over for you!" Elie asked

"Ahem!" Renne clears her throat. "This isn't Lloyd."

"What?" Elie look confused.

"The person with me is just an incarnation of him. This is Emblem Lloyd. He's not the Lloyd we all know. But he does have his memories."

"The hell you mean by that, Renne?" Agate asked "We're seeing Lloyd, right now."

"Its a long story, but it involves the world of Elyos. I'm sure you're all aware from Princess Peach and other sources discussing about the Corruptd, yes? I have more news related to him. But first, I would like to meet Emblem Lloyd who is a power incarnation of the Lloyd we know."

"That's right. I am not the original Lloyd Bannigns. I am someone who bears his name and resembles." Emblem Lloyd nodded. "Although. It's good to see so many familiar faces."

"Wait, I'm confused. You're not Lloyd Bannings but... someone who bears his names?" KeA asked

"That's right. I am an Emblem. Emblems are spirits of heroes of their world. Just like with Rean, Levi, and Crow. And many others who you're all familiar with. I'm sorry that I cause discomfort to you all with my original sudden disappearance. And that I appear in his place to speak to you."

"So... you're... really not Lloyd?"Elie asked, looking heartbroken.

"No. I'm sorry, Elie." Emblem Lloyd sadden.

"I..." Elie shuddered and then she hang up and ran away.

"Elie?!" Aoi turn to her.

"Elie, wait!" Tio yelled.

Renne sighed. "I was afraid this might happen."

"Oh Elie..." Tita sadden.

"I should go after her. Jigglepuff, let's go." KeA said.

"Jiggle!" Jigglepuff nodded and they take off.

Emblem Lloyd scratched his hair as he sighed. "Perhaps it was a bad idea, Renne."

"Maybe you're right, but... I wanted to give them a heads up. Should I continue?" Renne asked

"Yes, of course. Emblems are incarnations of heroes, yes? Does that mean that Joshua and Estelle are..."

"Yes. I can imagine them as Emblems too. Of course, they aren't the only ones."

"So I have to appear?" Emblem Loewe asked

Tita gasped, letting out a shock as it surprises even Agate, Eula and Klaudia.

"No way..." Eula said as Emblem Loewe join the call.

"Hmph. It's been sometimes to those I'm familiar meeting." Emblem Loewe said. "Tita Russell. You really have grown into a young woman. As for you, Heavy Blade. You've changed. Not mentally though. Princess, Captain Eula. You've grown as well."

"You're shittin' me..." Agate said

"Leonhardt... You're an Emblem...?" Klaudia asked in disbelief.

"..." Loewe said nothing.

"Inconceivable... You really are an Emblem. To think someone from the society would be a hero... but... then again..." Eula trailed off.

"Loewe... It's... It's so good to see you." Tita let out some tears.

"Hmph... To think a bastard like you would be call a hero. Never saw this comin' from our battle in the Liberl Ark. But... damn..." Agate said.

"Say what you will. Your opinions mean nothing." Emblem Loewe said

"Yeah. You're him all right."

"Even I was shocked to see Loewe as an Emblem. But... I couldn't help but feel so happy. That's why I wanted to let you know about the Emblems... as well as the dastardly abomination known as Sombron." Renne said. "I learn something about him. Brace yourself." She said and she tells them what Sombron did and his past, and how he treated his children.

"That's...!" Tita turn pale.

"That son of a bitch even kill his own children and feed their corpses to those things?!" Agate yelled.

"Nngh...!" Randy clenched his teeth.

"He sacrificed them... discarded them... calling them defect..." Tio grimaced.

"How... evil..." Aoi grimaced.

"Yes. With his return, we have to stop him before any lives are lost because of him. Which is why I wanted to ask you. Is it possible for you to aid us?" Emblem Lloyd asked

"Yeah. You bet we will kick this son of a bitch for good Lloyd." Randy nodded. "But unfortunately, I really wanted to, but I'm afraid my hands are tied with taking care of the Corrupted here."

"Yeah. You know I'm more than happy to help out. If there are chances, I would gladly come along." Tio agreed.

"That goes for us as well. However, we'll do what we can to help you someway." Eula said

"Yeah. We'll make this Fell Dragon regret for what he had done." Agate agreed.

"We may not be able to help you directly, but we'll do what we can." Tita nodded.

"That's more then enough. Thank you my friends." Emblem Lloyd smiled

"I'll let Wazy and Rixia know the situation." Aoi said. "Come to think of it, I'm surprised she hasn't answered. I wonder what happened."


End of flashbacks...

"Oh right. You were in tears, right Elie?" KeA asked

"Yes. I'm sorry you all had to see that." Elie nodded

"Don't worry about it. I mean it is natural since you two tied the knot." Randy nodded. "Still, you feelin' okay?"

"Yes. I want to help out Lloyd. And if Sombron has something to do with it, I'll be more than willing to land a hand." Elie nodded. "Let's work together and defeat the Corrupted. And if luck is on our side, we'll join the fight."

"Yeah. Let's do this! For Lloyd, and everyone else!" Aoi nodded.

(BGM ended)


Meanwhile in the Alternate Elyos...

"Lady Nel isn't coming out, is she?" Madeline sighed.

'Sitting alone under a tree, not saying a word... Never seen her withdraw like this before." Gregory said solemn

"She has been there for half an hour. Perhaps we should offer our aid." Mauvier suggest.

Zelestia shook her head. "Mauvier, you really don't understand the tenderness of the heart, do you?"

"I-I do not follow."

"Lady Nel just revealed her innermost feelings— a love she has kept concealed for years. It's only natural she might need some time to herself after that."

"Ah. I see."

"People's hearts are fragile when they're in love. You gotta be gentle with them, big guy." Gregory agreed.

"Sounds like you speak from experience, Gregory. Have you been in love before?" Madeline asked

"Nope. But I hear it's as terrifying as it is exhilarating. You?"

"Me?! W-Well, I..." Madeline slightly glace at Mauvier but she shook her head. "What was the question?"

"Hm?" Mauvier tilt his head.

"I hate leaving Lord Nil and out guests along for this long. But she needs time." Zelestia sighed. "If only there was some way to reunite Lady Nel with her love. We all know how deeply she cared for the Divine Dragon Twins.

"Yeah, but that was the other Divine Dragon Twins. Not this one. Actually who was she telling her feelings again?" Gregory asked

"Both of them."

"Ooh. So she fell in love with both of them, huh? Yep... love is quite complicated."

"Lady Nel deserve such happiness." Zelestia stated

Madeline nodded her head. "Yes. A loyal attendant always wants the best for their liege."

"That I can comprehend, even if the "tenderness of the heart" is beyond my grasp." Mauvier agreed.

"I'm glad you understand." Zelestia smiled. " And I hope you all know I care about you just as much as I do her. I want to stick together and keep each other safe."

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

Nel got up and approached the Winds. "Thank you all for giving me that space."

"Please, Lady Nel. Think nothing of it." Zelestia smiled

"You feeling better?" Gregory asked

"Very much." Nel nodded her head. "Thank you for giving me the time to reflect. I suppose I never dealt with the loss of the ones I loved so dearly. But I deeply regret the trouble I caused. I should have told you about the Corrupted royals. You are my trusted confidants. And I should have known to rely upon you."

"You honor us, Lady Nel. No doubt Lord Nil would also be comforted by those words." Mauiver smiled

"Of course. I owe the Divine Dragon Twins an apology as well. My behavior has been frightfully rude."

"I think that's a great idea!" Zelestia smiled. "Let's hury back to the others. They must be—"

(BGM ended)

"There you guys are!" Celine yelled as she and everyone else joined them.

"Oh, everyone! We were just about to return. Is something wrong?"

"Yes. Alear and Amia have been abducted!" Emma answered

(Fire Emblem Three Houses ost - Dark Cloud Gather)

"What?!" Nel eye widen.

"Abducted?!" Zelestia gasped.

"It isn't just them, the bracelets too!" Florian answered.

"Even the bracelets? How?" Nel asked.

"By the mastermind behind all of this." Mona approached with a serious look. "Nil."

"Nil?"

"What lies is this? Lord Nil wouldn't dare to do something like this!" Mauiver argued.

"Don't believe us?" Renne pull out her ARCUS Alpha, tap a few buttons and reveal a hologram video. "See for yourself then."

"Just one thing I do not know and am ever so curious about." Nil closed his eyes and then his expression changed to a dark smirk. "How will she handle losing the one she cares for most a second time."

"Huh?" Alear blinked.

"I really must find out. I hope that is all right with the two of you."

"Nil, what are you talking about?" Amia took a step back with her brother as she and Alear nearly draw out their sword as Emblem Tiki appeared from behind.

"Look behind you, Divine Ones." Nil said as they turn and see Emblem Tiki appear before them.

"Emblem Tiki!" Alear exclaimed

"But... how?" Amia gasped.

"I roused her from her slumber." Nil approached, causing Nel to eye widen in horror. "Haha surprised? I'm glad I ask you two to come have a nice private chat with me. It simply won't do to have your friends here, now would it?" Nil lend closely to Alear's ear until he stabbed his back with a dagger.

"Augh!" Alear winched as he fell on the floor.

"Brother!" Amia shout as Nel stabbed Amia as well. "Ugh!" She fell to the floor.

"And now farewell, Divine Ones." Nil grinned

The video ended there.

"What sorcery is this..." Mauvier asked

"Not sorcery but technology." Renne put away her ARCUS Alpha. "But regardless, it's recording proof when me, Florian, Mona and Meowscarada confronted Nil. We were going to get him out of there, but Nil teleported himself and took, Alear, Amia and the Bracelets with him."

"Nil..." Nel shivered

"Then... The Corrupted was his doing?" Zelestia asked in disbelief.

"Don't forget that Emblem Tiki was there awoke." Penny reminded. "We were all there when Nel put her to sleep. Nil was the one who woke you. As you all saw in the video. "Our "unknown manlefactor" was the one who has the power to awaken Emblems. Nil just show us in the video."

"Me, Mona, Renne and the Pokemon knew something was off with him when we lay eyes on him. Now he reveal his true colors." Florian said He summon the Corrupted to slow us down. Lucky, we ask everyone to lie in wait to deal with them."

"We got to rescue Alear and Amia! Our Instructor and Levi are being held captive too!" Juna stated.

"But... how? We don't know where they are." Nel stated

"I place a tracking spell on Alear and Amia in case Nil had any funny business. We need to hurry before Nil will fulfilled Sombron's ambition." Mona answered

"Nil... He can't be the enemy..." Nel clenched her fist.

"Nel, I know this is hard to believe but now isn't the time. If you want further proof, then we must go to Nil himself."

"Nngh... Fine. Take us to him." Nel requested as everyone nodded and they take off.

(BGM ended)


Later...

"The spell indicated that Alear, and Amia be here." Mona said as they look at a ruins located in Solm.

"An ancient ruins. A fitting place to hide." Musse said.

"We must be on guard, Everyone. Come on." Aether said as they go into the temple.

"Oough... This place is giving Paimon the creeps..." Paimon shivered.

"We need to be careful. Here's hoping there isn't any traps laying for us." Venti said.

"Oh but I beg to differ." A voice said as Nil appeared from the shadows.

(Fire Emblem Engage Fell Xenologue ost - Unfulfilled Dream)

"Nil!" Florian glared

"Nil... it is true... please tell me this isn't true." Nel pleaded.

"Oh my dear naive sister. So you still have faith in me?" Nil dark smirked. "Well no matter, I grew tired of pretending to be a powerless failure. I'm sure as your allies told you, I am fulfilling the late Sombron—our Father's ambition."

"So it's true... the Corrupted were your responsibility!" Zelestia growled

"But Nil... You are my brother." Nel clench her teeth. "We have always been together. Two halves of a whole. You cannot be our enemy!"

"What else could it be? There is no one left. All of our siblings are dead and gone. I dispensed with the lot of them myself. With one exception, of course." Nil dark smirked, causing a ! over Nel's head. "Has it all become clear to you? Good." Nil snapped his finger and Hordes of Corrupted appeared.

"Raaaaaugh!" They roared.

"The Corrupted!" Madeline exclaimed.

"Damn, it's a horde of them!" Gregory muttered

"Farewell, then, my dear sister. Enjoy being buried with your four little breezes along with everyone else. I am off to sink my teeth into your darling Divine Dragon twins." Nil took off.

"Get back here you bastard!" Ash throw his axe's head but the Corrupted Axe Warrior swing to deflect it. "Damn it!"

"Nil... How could you?" Nel grimaced.

"Never mind about him, Nel. We need to deal with the Corrupted!" Aether stated

"Y-Yes. You're right. There are many, but we are strong. Once I transform..." Nel then paused. "Nil has my dragonstone. And while we are cornered here, the Divine Dragon Twins are in grave danger."

"Lady Nel. Leave this to us." Zelestia said. "With this many of us, we'll be able to create an opening and make it out of here alive."

"Right! We need to save Alear, Amia, Marth and Levi from Nil too!" Celine stated.

"But—"

"This isn't a debate, we need to deal, come on!" Florian stated as he, Renne, Emma and Mona take off.

"Ngh... Very well." Nel grumbled. "My dear Four Winds, everyone. Hear me and obey Surviv until we meet again! That is an order!" She took off, following Renne, Emma, Mona and Florian.

"You got it!" Juna declared.

"Raaaaaugh!" The Corrupted roared and they charge toward the group.


Meanwhile with Alear and Amia...

"Nngh...!" Amia struggling to move but failed. "Damn this... restrainment!"

"Here I am, Divine Ones." Nil approached

"What do you want now, Nil?"

"And what have you done with Marth and Levi?" Alear glared.

"Worry not. They're right here." Nil Dark smirked as Emblem Marth and Emblem Levi appeared but cloaked in red.

"Ngh!"

"Oh I have other news to share. My dear sister, your allies and the Four Winds have now been dealt with."

"That's impossible... I know my comrades are strong enough to survive..." Alear glared. "Even if that's true, you should have just killed us. But I don't think you have it in you."

"You're wrong about that, but you still have a part to play in this. Both of you, come along."

"Like we'll go anywhere with you!" Amia growled.

"Oh is that right?"

"You said we have a part to play. What if we refuse to cooperate?" Alear glared as he asked "We won't do anything that helps you win."

"How can you be so cruel." Nil said in his soft and gentle tone with a sad expression. "Does the love of my sweet sister mean nothing to you at all? I'd already begun to think of you two as family. You've cut me to the quick."

"Don't give us that bullshit." Amia cursed.

"My, quite the potty mouth." Nil return to his true voice. 'But nothing escapes your notice I suppose. But if you two intend to resist, I can simply force you."

"Do your worst. We won't give in." Alear glared

"I suppose there is only one way to know. Shall we find out together?" Nil smirked until the Dragonstone glow. "What? Nel? How?"

The walls burst, forcing Nel to jump away from the crumbling debris.

"Divine Ones! You are alive!" Nel exclaimed as she change back to her human form.

"Nel!" Alear cheered as a magic circle appeared from behind and Emma used her craft: Eclipse Edge 2 toward Nil who dodge the attack and then a Scythe was toss toward at him. Nel block with his axe as a portal appeared, revealing Mona, Florian and Renne. "Emma, Celine, Mona, Florian, Renne!"

"Oh if it isn't the nuisance." Nil growled. "So you abandoned the Winds and everyone else? I ought to have seen that coming."

"Don't underestimate our allies. Each of them are more than capable of handling the hordes of Corrupted you sent." Emma glared.

"That's right. We won't let you complete Sombron's ambition." Mona agreed.

"Agreed. There is no longer any need to carry out his wishes, Nil." Nel agreed. "I know his ambitions are not your own. It is meaningless for us to fight!"

"Meaningless? You know absolutely nothing of my ambitions!" Nil growled. "Come forth, my Corrupted!"

Then a group of Corrupted appeared and then Hortensia approached along with the Assassin from before.

"Hortensia!" Emma gasped.

"And that assassin from Lythos Castle!" Celine added. Then the Hooded Assassin remove his hood, revealing to be Fogado. "Fogado!?"

"So... it was you after all..." Amia lower her head

"So the attack at Lythos Castle was you after all." Nel grumbled.

"Of course. You dare mock our lord Father's ambitions. It was my duty to kill you, failure." Nil growled and then pull out his axe. "But that's enough. Take up your weapons, all of you. It doesn't matter how many of you face me. I've studied you and I know how to deal with the very last one of you. Hortensia, Fogado. Assist your master!"

"As you command, Lord Nil." Corrupted Hortensia pull out her Tome as Corrupted Fogado pull out his bow.

"Permission to use the Bracelet, Lord Nil?" Corrupted Fogado asked

"Permission granted. Considering they have the Emblems, let's make this a fair game." Nil answered as Hortensia and Fogado pulled out two Bracelets from their sleeves and put them on, then Emblem Vita and Emblem Joshua appeared by their side, cloaked in red.

"Vita!" Emma gasped.

"And Joshua too!" Renne grimaced.

"The Bracelet of the Azure Witch and the Black Fang... So you had them all along..." Nel grimaced "Stop this, Nel! This is not who you are!" She pleaded as she got out her lance.

(BGM ended)

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Defective)

"Forget about him, Nel. He won't listen. We need to deal with him, the Corrupteds and rescue not just the Dragon Twins, but Marth and Levi too." Celine stated.

"Right. I know how much you love him, but so long as he stand against us, we must defeat him and free Hortensia and Fogado from this cruel fate." Mona agreed.

"Nngh... You're right." Nel clenched her lance."

"Oh but one last thing. We don't want our Divine Dragon Twins to be caught in the crossfire do we?" Nel asked and then he snapped his finger and Alear and Amia were teleported away.

"Divine Ones! Where did you take them Nil?!"

"Oh don't worry, Sister. All I did was transport them to the next room where they are heavily guarded."

"What are you planning Nil?" Emma asked. "Knowing Sombron, he despite and aims to kill the Divine Dragons. And yet, you're keeping both Amia and Alear alive and restraining them. What are you planning?"

"Oh, it's simple Emma. I intend to gain power and then kill everyone who stands in my way. That includes Nel, the rest of you, and the Four Winds. That is all you need to know before you die." Nil answered

"Oh really? If I had to guess, the reason you're keeping them alive has something to do with the eleven bracelets."

"Very observant. Indeed. But that is all I will say."

(BGM ended)

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Defective (Frenzy))

"Now." Nil readied his axe as Corrupted Hortensia and Corrupted Fogado take their stand along with the regular Corrupted. "Prepare to die!"

Fogado reappeared in the air and then fired an arrow at Emma.

"Bah!" She winched, rolling on the floor as she got back on her feet.

"He can turn anyone invisible?! Nngh! Watch out for him!" Celine exclaimed.

"Vita, to me." Hortensia commend in solemn as Vita raised her arms and then Aura Grianos appeared, screeching and then breath a powerful ice breath to cause pillars of ice to limit the movement.

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Two Encounters)

Florian changed back.

"Nngh..." Nil panted, covered in static until he lost consciousness and fell on the floor.

"That should knock him out for awhile." Renne said.

"Right. We need to find the Divine Ones and be hasty about it." Nel agreed.

"No need." Seadall's voice said as he, Meowscarada and Lucario approached the group with Alear and Amia. "We're here."

"Alear, Amia!" Emma sighed of relief. "Thank goodness you're okay!"

"I'm so glad you're all okay. Seadall, Meowscarada and Lucario took down some of the Corrupted guarding me and then Celine used her magic to break me out." Alear smiled

"Wait, when did you have time to do that?" Nel asked Celine.

"While you were all fighting. I have to find my way until I encounter Meowscarada and the others. It was touch but we managed to save our Dragon twins at least."

"I see. Well I'm glad you and your sister are safe Divine One. I could not bear to lose you." Nel smiled and then sighed. "Please allow me to apologize for the manner in which I have treated you both. It was unforgivable. In my weakness, I failed to accept that you are not the same Divine Dragon twins as the one I lost. I understand that clearly now. And if you two would allow it, I would like to begin again as friends."

"Of course, Nel. We'd like that." Amia smiled as Alear nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Divine Ones." Nel smiled.

"I got the Bracelets!" Florian said as he take the Bracelet of the Shapherd Exalt while Renne and Emma take the Bracelet of the Azure Witch and the Black Fang as Emblem Chrom, Emblem Vita and Emblem Joshua appeared. "Oh! And I also took back the Rings too." He pull out the Ring of the Hero King and the Silver Angel.

"Marth, Levi!" Alear exclaimed as he and Amia take their chosen Rings and then Emblem Marth and Emblem Levi were cloaked in red. "Ngh... They're tainted with Fell Energy. we need to purified them."

"Let's hope the invocation worked." Amia said as she and Amia hold onto the rings.

"Shine on, Emblem of Beginning/Illumiate us, Emblem of Light!" Both Alear and Amia yelled and then Emblem Marth and Emblem Levi returned back with a blue aura.

"Ngh..." Emblem Marth groaned.

"Marth, Levi! You're both okay!" Alear said with relief.

"We should be the ones saying that to you." Emblem Levi shook his head. "I wasn't expecting Nil would be the mastermind. And I'm normally sharp."

"Same. But thank goodness you're both all right. We're sorry we couldn't protect you." Emblem Marth sadden.

"It's okay. What matters is we got you back and remove the Fell Energy Nil cast on you." Amia stated

"So that's how you summon Emblems?" Nel mused. "Curious. I'm glad that you're both safe and sound, Emblem Marth, Emblem Levi."

"We should be thanking you, Nel. Thank you for rescuing our friend. And of course, Seadall, Celine, Meowscarada and Lucario too." Emblem Marth smiled

"It was a pleasure. But we also had help from Emblem Corrin." Seadall smiled as Emblem Corrin appeared.

"Haha. But you did most of the work with the Pokemon. You were quite fierce on finding them, which is understandable."

"I'm not sure what you mean."

"As much as I rather not interrupted. Please take a look." Nel said as they stare at the bracelets. "The Bracelet of the Shepard Exalt, the Bracelet of the Azure Witch and the Bracelet of the Black Fang. The Bracelet of the Shepherd Exalt is the only one we had from the start in Lythos Castle. The Bracelet of the Azure Witch was also from Elusia. And the Bracelet of the Black Fang is from Solm." Nel sighed. "I never imagined that we would be forced to do battle with you, Emblem Chrom."

"I knew... you would triumph." Emblem Chrom groaned. "The darkest futures still... have hope."

"I'm so glad that... you managed to prevail... and rescue the Divine Dragon Twins from Nil's ambition." Emblem Joshua groaned.

"What a curious... turn of fate. But... I prefer we have... a happy ending instead... of this." Emblem Vita groaned.

"Vita..." Emma sadden.

"Sheesh, hearing you talk all weak feels... unlike you." Celine said.

"I'm glad we rescue you too. Joshua." Renne smiled but have sad eyes.

"Indeed. I'm sure you wish to talk, but at your current state, you need to rest." Emblem Loewe agreed.

"I... understand. I wish we can speak more but... maybe... now isn't the time." Emblem Lowew close his eyes. "I hope... we can talk someday. Loewe..."

"Now... we can finally... rest." Emblem Vita smiled.

"May you all... cherish your new bond." Emblem Chrom smiled

"We will." Amia nodded her head as Emblem Chrom, Emblem Vita and Emblem Joshua disappeared into slumber.

(BGM ended)

"All right, now that's done. We need to return to everyone else." Florian said.

"Right." Mona nodded and then turn to Nil. "But what do we do with him? We can't leave him here."

"As much as it pains me, let's leave him for now and check with everyone else. Hopefully, we can regroup and Nil is still unconscious when we get back."

"I don't know..." Renne fold her arms. "But... very well."

"All right, let's get out of here." Celine said as everyone nodded and take off.

Renne stop and turn back to look at Nil and then catch up to everyone else. But to proven her worries, Nil woke up with a grin.


Meanwhile with everyone else...

"Hah." Aether wipe his forehead. "Is everyone all right?"

"Ha... Hah..." Gregory panted. "Phew... Man that was a close one."

"We managed to prevail against those undead hordes." Alhaitham said. "We managed to disable the signal that calls more of them."

"Indeed. It is fortunate that there are many of us working together in crisis like this." Emblem Arianrhod said.

"Yeah. I just hope Alear, Amia, Marth and Levi are okay." Emblem Rean muttered. "Do you think Nel managed to find them?"

"I hope so. But she doesn't appear to be alone. Seadall and Corrin went as well. Florian, Mona, Renne, Emma, and Celine too." Emblem Crow said.

"I'll see if I can contact them somehow." Arval said

Suddenly, multiple explosion happens within the temple.

"Wha—!?" Arval gasped.

"An explosion?!" Kazuha exclaimed.

"Don't tell me... Nil planted bombs in the temple in case the Corrupted have fallen?!" Emblem Lyn exclaimed.

"That crazy son of a—" Ash cursed.

"We need to escape!" Kurt yelled until the entrance exploded as the debris collapsed. "The Entrance!"

"We're trapped!" Shez yelled.

"Nngh! Everyone, gather around!" Aether yelled as his hand cloak in a golden aura and punch the ground.


With Alear, Nel, Renne, Emma, Celine, Meowscarada, Mona, Lucario, Seadall, Amia and Florian.

"Was that an explosion just now?" Florian asked.

"No..." Renne look in horror. "Don't tell me..."

"It's where everyone was is at..." Emma covered her mouth. "No...!"

"My Winds... and all of our allies..." Nel covered her mouth until suddenly she was struck by dark magic. "Augh!"

"Nel!" Emma exclaimed as the dark magic suddenly warped her.

"Hahahahahaha!" Nil laughed as he approached and Nel was behind him being restrained.

"Ngh! Of course, you were pretending to be unconscious!" Renne glared.

"That explosion... what did you do, Nil!?" Florian yelled

"I planted a bomb in case the Corrupted have failed me. Unless my senses have failed me, nothing within the rubble survives. Your allies along with the Four Winds are no more!"

"N-No... that's not possible!" Mona clinch her fist.

"You refuse to cooperate with me, Divine Ones. But now you forced my hand. If any of you value her life, you will meet me on the island that once floated among the clouds." Nil said until he and Nel teleported away.

"Nil! Stop!" Alear rush to save Nel but too late. "Damn it!"

"Mona, is everyone all right?!" Celine yelled as Mona used her scryglass.

"Please be okay, pleas be okay, please be okay..." Mona prayed as she ticker the scryglass. "Ah! Everyone's all right! Aether used his magic to form a barrier to shield them!"

"Oh, thank Aeceus..." Florian fell on his butt. "But that leaves rescuing Nel."

"He said to meet him on an island that was in the clouds." Amia said. "But what does he mean by that?"

"An island that was among the clouds..." Alear rub her chin until he realized. "The Somniel..."


Flashback...

(Kingdom Hearts II ost - Hesitation)

"It has been some time since those twins betrayed me." Sombron said, staring at the Bracelet. "Soon, my goe will strike me down. Perhaps I will deliver a killing blow in turn. But if one of them stay behind... while the other strikes me down... hmm... It matters not. All is in motion. My child will realize my desires. I wonder if that pawn of mine figure out a way to end the other Divine Dragon's life, so that they will die childless, with no heir and no legacy. My pawns move as I will them to, without hesitation.
