A moment earlier in the Courageous...

The 23rd Armored Division Soldiers are accompanied by Pokemon such as Houndoom, Zebstrika, Venomath, and Heracross were being sighted and gathering up. Meanwhile on the Hanger of the ship, one of the rooms is the Orbal Factory where Olivert and his wife Scherzard were in. Olivert was playing with his Lute.

"It sure is noisy out there. A man finally gets a little private time with his blushing bride, only to have it wreched from his grasp. How cruel, the whims of fate." Olivert said, smiling while playing.

Scherzard pull out a card from the table. "The 'Wheel of Fortune.' Things have started moving. Might be time for us to follow suit."

(Trails into Reverie ost - Invisible Hands in the Shadows)

"Agreed. Ten days of captivity, dining on nothing but canned slop... Another day may turn me mad. I swear, my life is far too dramatic. We'd scarcely made it a week into our honeymoon before it was so unceremoniously hijacked. Chills me to the bone when I think about how we were almost shot down. Again. Hahaha."

Scherzard sweatdrop, giving her husband a deadpan look. "That is so not funny. But I suppose we have your dumb luck to thank for our present circumstances."

Olivert then headed to the orbal terminal and then he begin to activate it and begin typing. "It is fortunate indeed that they put us in the room with the emergency line that connects us from the workshop to the bridge. When we slipped this into the system during the ship's design, I never expected I'd be relying on it so soon."

"The members of Thors Class VII and their allies have entered the watchtower! They'll arrive at the device within minutes!"

"Hold it together, damn it." Dalton command. "We have the Divine Blade of Wind guarding it, and he won't fall so easily! Gah! If only our comrades in the captial hadn't spilled the beans..."

"But what about Lady Larxene and Lord Marluxia?"

"They were ordered to observe. But there's no doubt they'll keep Class VII and their no-good friends in check too. Anyway, hurry up and detain the ship's personnel. As long as we have the prince, our plan will remain unhindered!"

"Sir!"

"'Comrades in the captial', huh?" Scherzard muttered. "I knew it."

"Yeah. They must mean who Rean's Team apprehended a little while ago." Olivert nodded. "Now that I've seen the big picture, I think I know just what part we'll be playing."

Olivert then went back to his Lute and then open a secret compartment where there is an Orbal Pistol.

"Are you kidding me? You seriously hid an orbal gun and a Pokeball inside your LUTE?!" Scherzard asked

"Heh. With dear Tita's assistance, I confess." Olivert smiled. "You wouldn't believe how much tuning it took to ensure the sound quality remains pristine!"

Scherazard sweatdrop. "If that poor girl's grades suffer, it's on your head, Olivier. I hope Estelle, Joshua, Eula, and Agate are okay. Especially Furret. He must be worried sick. I knew I should have brought him with me."

"As do I. But if Furret of my Abomasnow were to accompany us, there is no doubt they would compensate and imprison them. We cannot let them suffer with us. All we can do is put our faith in them and put our own best feet forward. And on that note, I'll need you to back me up with Orders once we're in the thick of it."

"I can do more than that. They may have taken my whip, but I got my hands on a spare ARCUS Alpha. As long as we can coordinate our arts—"

Olivert shook his head. "Denied. I only want you on support. Awesome though I am, even I'm not fully confident I can protect the two of you in this situation."

Scherazard stare at her husband before she smiled. "Heh... All right. I'm counting on you, Olivier."

(BGM ended)

Outside the room, there were two Division Solders talking with Carnivine and Persain.

"Men have been stationed on each floor."

"Like the captain said, there's no getting in the way of our pan anymore. As long as we leverage our hostages right, things in the capital will—"

"Sorry to burst your bubbles, boys, but I don't think that's going to pan out." Olivert spoked as the door to the Hanger opened, causing the Soldiers to react.

(Trails into Reverie ost - Stake Everything Strategy)

"P-Prince Olivert?!"

"How did you get out of your room?!"

"You do realize I helped design this ship, right?" Olivert aim his orbal gun. "Now, if you excuse us, it' about time we made our daring escape. The curtains rises for us—and falls for you!"

The Two soldiers draw out their rifle and sword as Persain and Carnivine took their stand.

"Exvalibur!" Olivert gathering magical power and summon a tornado and pulling the two soldiers and their Pokemon screaming

"Whoooooah!"

Olivert aim his Orbal Pistol that channel magic circles to fire projection that rotate around each other and then form an energy blast, trapping the soldiers and their Pokemon into a sphere and then knocking them away in defeat.

"Phew. It's a good thing I've been taking magic lessons from Byleth and Miss Konoe. Although maybe I should ask Byleth to help me get into better come in combat."

"You're seriously going to ask the King of Fodlan to train you, huh?" Scherazard asking with a nervous laugh. "Wait, if you know magic, then shouldn't you have some teleportation spells on you?"

"Alas, I would. However, something is distorting the spacial magic. I imagine a barrier is in place."

"Oh, just great." Scherizard muttered. "That being said, I don't think we should just go knocking on our enemy's front door."

"Indeed. Time to follow in Joshua and Fie's footsteps and get stealthy." Olivert nodded. "But it's going to be difficult with the Pokemon they have. I better tread carefully. First we have to find where the crew and the Pokemon are being held." He then spotted something on the floor that one of the traitor soldiers dropped a Key card to the second floor. "A key to unlock the elevator, eh? Looks like we can go up a level."

"Then let's move. Carefully." Scherazard advised as they use the elevator to reach. "There are more Ebon Defence Soldiers here."

"The EDF, archaisms and their Pokemon." Olivert sighed. "Must they insist on making everything so difficult?"

Olivert and his wife headed to the left side of the ship where he see an Archaism patrolling and then throw Nemesis Arrow and then throw magic blades to destroy it. Olivert and Scherizard head to the rest area where two Division Solders with a Lickitung and a Tauros in the room.

The two soldiers had an ?! over their heads.

"Prince Olivert?!

"What are you doing here?!"

"Sorry, Gentlemen, but I have no time to chat." Olivert aim his orbal pistil and fired shots at them.

"Aguh!"

Olivert snapped his finger and magic blades slashing through them along with Lickitong and Tauros and knocking them off the floor.

"It's a good thing we caught them off duty. That wasn't hard to manage." Scherzard said.

"That's the spirit. Let's keep up the pace!" Olivert smirked as they take off.

As they walk the hallway, Scherzard heard voices.

'Wait. I can sense someone on the other side.' She said

'So there is. As good an opportunity for an ambush as any.' Olivert replied.

Inside the dining car...

Four Tratior Division Soldiers along with Yenmega, Machoke, Hipmotop, and Jumpluff were guarding the tired up crew their Pokemon, Sunflora, Breloom, Corphish, Phanpy, Snubull, Snorunt, Grimpig and Spinda.

"Do you have any idea what you're doing?!" One of the crewmen yelling at the Division Soldiers.

"You don't have to do this! I'm sure the prince would forgive you if you just—"

"Silence!" One Division Soldier yelled as he heard the door knocking. "Who goes there?"

"I'll go take a look." The Soldier said as he head out the door. "Hey, who's out here?" He left the room and all was silence.

"Hmm?"

"Weapons ready."

Two of the Division Soldiers got their Rifles ready as they approached the door and then got their rifles ready but no one is inside but the unconscious soldier.

"Wha?" One Solider blinked.

"Maa!" The Two soldiers heard Machock cried as they turn and see Olivert and Scherazard knocking out the other Soldiers and their Pokemon

"It's him!"

"You're Highness! You're all right!" One of the Crewment cheered

"Sunflora!" Sunflora cheered

"How did you like our little bait and switch, hmm? Even the Phantom Thief couldn't pull it off any better."

"Save the cockiness after the fight. You've got work to do, Olivert!" Scherzard scolded

"I'm on it!" Olivert aim and fired at the Division Soldier who dodge got their weapons out.

Olivert snapped his finger as it generated a sphere of energy and throw it onto the solders as they jump out of the way, only to be pulled in and then Oliver throw Nemesis Arrow at them. Then Olivert firing rapidly on them and then gathering magical energy onto the bullets and control them to pass through the soldiers until pass through their legs.

"Augh!" They yelled and fell unconscious.

Olivert spotted the 3F Card Key they dropped and he picked it up.

"Here we are. Smooth sailing thus far." Olivert smiled as Scherizard untied the soldiers and the Pokemon.

"I'm so happy to see you and Lady Schera are all right, Prince Olivert!" The Crewmen spoked

"Could you please not?" Scherzard sighed. "I swear, I'm never going to get used to this 'lady' stuff. Still. It's good to see everyone here is unharmed."

"My apologies for getting you all wrapped up in this." Olivert apologized.

"You shouldn't be the one apologizing, Your Highness. We were supposed to protect you, but now you're the one saving us."

"How can we ever look Lieutenant Colonel Vander in the eyes after he entrusted us with your safety?"

"Come now. I was the one who instructed him not to come. More importantly, it's too soon to breathe easy. We're still in quite the pinch. We'll have to pick our spots carefully if we're—"

A Sound was heard and then a siren was heard.

"Emergency! System-wide stealth functions have been disabled! All soldiers are to submit status reports ASAP! I repeat!"

"Good timing." Scherazard smirked.

"Well, then. I can't say I know what caused that, but I'm not opposed to Lady Luck smiling upon us!" Olivert smirked.

With the others...

"Hmph. I have done nothing but prepare to make sacrifices. And speaking of sacrifices. His Highness and the Courageous II are under our control. If you value his life, you will surrender!" Dalton threaten.

"You bastard. If you dare harm Olivert and anyone in that ship." Ragan giving him a death threat.

"Worry not, Ragna." A voice spoked causing everyone to ! over their heads.

"Huh?"

"Did he...?" Dalton gasped as Olivert and Scherzard appeared in the call.

"Prince Olivert!" Rean exclaimed

"Haha! Hello "me!" Emblem Olivert laughed

"Are you all right, Your Highness?!" Kurt asked

"But of course. I'm honored that so many esteemed comrades have come to my rescue. Myself, Schera and my crew are all in the Courageous II. Rest assured, everyone is unharmed." Olivert smiled

"Though, I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting our honeymoon to be quite this... eventful." Scerazard sighed

"I'm sure! I'm just thanking Aidios and the other gods you're both okay." Sara smiled.

"Heh. I'm not surprised at all to see that they weren't idly awaiting rescue."

"Good. Because once we're over there, we got plenty of trashes to clean up." Ragna palm fist.

Larxene sighed. "Those idiots..."

"But at least it's now confirmed." Marluxia said

In the Courageous II...

Danton slam his hand on the captain's desk. "Damn it! Just what is going on here?!"

"Th-They're using one of the computers on the second floor!" A Division Soldier told him

"They've also freed all of the chip's crew! They're now making their way to the deck!"

"Seize them! We can't let the prince get away now!" Dalton yelled

With Olivert...

Olivert, Scherzard along with the Crew and their Pokemon are firing and throwing attacks onto the entrance as Olivert pull up his ARCUS Alpha and begin calling.

"So, I don't suppose I could trouble you to come over here and help, could I?" Olivert asked. "You've got Emma, Musse, Levi, His Emblem, Namine, Emblem Vita, and Emblem Me, so it might be doable."

Back at the group...

"What do you guys, think?" Rean turn to the others.

"Traversing this distance should be no trouble at all." Emma smirked. "Levi, Emblem Levi, Musse, Namine, Vita and Emblem Olviert, please give me a hand!"

"On it!" Levi smirked

"But what about—" Namine turned her back and saw Marluxia and Larxene disappear. "Huh? They're gone."

"They retreated?" Riku asked

"Professor, please stay here where it's safer." Noel Vermillion requested.

"I wasn't going even if you asked. Now get a move on." Schmidt said

Levi, Mussee, Emblem Levi, Namine Emblem Vita and Emblem Olivert gather their magical power together and then teleported away.

At the deck...

The Division Soldiers took out the crew members as they barge in with Shaking, Zangoose, Arbok, Gabite, Lycanrok Midday form and Mightyena.

"There they are!"

"Please come quietly, Your Highness!"

The magic circle appeared and came in Rean's group as they got their weapons out.

"Th-The Ashen Chevalier! Ragna the Bloodedge, the King and Governor of Fodlan, the Mario Brothers, and the Golden Rakshasha!?"

"Good. Looks like we made it in time." Emblem Vita said.

"Sorry about the delay Your Highness." Rean replied.

"How dare you bastards imprison Olivert and his wife behind our backs. You're going to pay in hell." Ragna glared.

"As a Vander, I will not stand to see a gun pointed at a member of the Imperial Family." Kurt glared.

"Ah, that reminds me." Rean pull out a Pokeball and toss it to Olviert.

Olivert catches it. "Ah! My sweet Pokeball." He toss it into the air and came out Abomasnow.

"Abomasnow!" It roared as it stretched his arm.

"Abomasnow! It's so good to see you my friend!" Olivert smiled

"Aboma!" Abomanow responds happily before turning it gaze at the Division Soldier. "ABOMAAAAAAAAA!" He roared at them.

"EUrk!"

"Heh. Oh, he's very angry." Levi smirked. "Then again, so am I."

"Abomasnow, Sheer Cold!" Olivert yelled

"Abombaaaaaa!" Abomasnow becomes surrounded in a light blue aura. He opens its mouth and the inside of it starts to glow light blue; firing a white- blue beam towards the Division Soldiers at their Pokemon.

"AAAAAAAUGH!"

"So... Cold..." The Division Soldiers all fell unconscious including their Pokemon.

"Haha! Looks like they caught a little cold, didn't they?" Olivert chuckled as the group sweatdrop.

"Olivert, have you been hanging out with Yang?" Ragna asked as they put their weapons away. "Still, at least we deal with the one where. Now to deal with Dalton and make him pay for his crimes."

"Many thanks for your assistance, everyone. I know how difficult that must have been with my understanding of the situation at hand. Truly, from the bottom of my heart and to each and every one of you; thank you."

"It is our pleasure, Your Highness." Kurt smiled

"We simply did our duty as subjects of the Empire." Aurelia said

"Of course, that's also how friends help each other out." Ventus smiled.

"Oh yeah!" Mario smiled. "We're-a just so glad that you and Lady Schera are okay."

"Likewise. I feel terrible knowing how many people and my Furret we have worried." Scherazard sighed. "I used to be an A-Rank Bracer, and now here I am, needing someone to come to my rescue..."

"Oh, don't worry about that. After all your help in the war, I think you're owed a couple of good rescues." Sara said.

"Not to mention no one saw this coming." Roy (Fire Emblem) pointed out. "The technology our enemies uses is highly advance compare to magic."

"You speak of the device used to hide this ship, I presume?" Olivert asked. "Is it true that it looked like a vast array of weapons from the outside?"

Rean nodded. "It is. I'm still having trouble believing that what we saw didn't actually exist. Or that the Calvardian ranks we had to fight against were remotely controlled form such a huge distance away."

"The Professor suspected that someone with technology level outmatch the current state of technology in our world is responsible for that. I think I know who he was referring too. Knowing that man skills in technology and weaponry."

"Dr. Eggman..." Kazuha fold his arms. "Yes. It would sound like he's capable of making such a device with ease."

"Right. If anyone who can outmatch Ouroboros technology, it would be him." Lyn nodded in agreement.

"Still, do you think that the failed coup in the capital was also his doing?" Kurt asked.

"No. I think Eggman just provided technical support and the plan of the failed coup was the Fake Rufus and Xehanort idea." Levi shook his head.

"It's not only th technology that bothers me, but how aggressively this is all being done, too." Gaius fold his arms, looking and glaring at the knock out Division Solders. These people seem to care only about their goal—not Nord, not the Empire, not even themselves."

"I suppose they's merely a testament to how blinded they have become." Olivert sighed. "The 23rd Division was just one of the many being reorganized or dismantled as part of the demilitarization effort. A fact that I'm sure was used to manipulate them into taking part in this."

"Honestly, so many idiots are out there in the world..." Ragna muttered.

"Either way, we've done what we originally set out to do." Rean said. "Now we just need to stop the armored division from causing any more harm."

"That's right. And bring peace to Nord once more!" Gaius fist pump.

"Yeah! Let's bust Colonel Dalton's ass and make him regret this." Ventus smirked.

"Yeah!" Namine agreed until she blink. "Hey, wait a minute, did you just curse right now?"

"Everyone's doing it."

"Fair point."

"Colonel Dalton and the rest of the ringleaders should be on the bridge. The bridge is defended, of course, but I doubt our present company will have any trouble getting past them." Olivert smirked.

"Maybe so, but the crew members are exhausted and injured." Emblem Micaiah pointed out, looking at the exhausted crew. "We can't afford to take them with us, or unarmed Scherzard for that matter. It would be too dangerous."

"Then allow me and my Kingambit to escort them all to safety." Aurelia said. "If all goes well, that may let us divide the enemy's forces, too."

"Sounds like we've got ourselves a plan." Rean smirked.

Musse giggled. "Knowing the wounded are in your capable hands will allow us to fight without worry."

Ugh..." Scherazard muttered. "I hate to be a burden, but I suppose I have no choice this time. Though I can still support you with remote orders, if you need them. Be careful out there, Olivier."

"But of course. And I'll have plenty of capable friends at my side. You need not fret for my, my darling."

"Now then, follow me." Aurelia said as she, Scherzard and the crew take off the ship while everyone else go in inside.

"And with that done, now we can make our way to the bridge." Azura said.

"I've got the third-floor card key in hand, so we should skip the exercise and go for the elevator instead." Olviert said

"That would be a problem with this many groups and tall Pokemon but... we'll see if we can be flexible." Shigure said as they made their way to the elevator and take time squeezing some of them and recalled their Pokemon and head to the third floor.

The other team waited until they all gathered at the third floor. They all split up and take on the Division Soldiers with their Pokemon and giving them their got the Card Key to the 4F and quickly making their way there.

(BGM ended)

"Damn it, you all got here too quickly!" Dalton growled as he and a few ringleaders by his side with a couple of Pokemon: Liepard, Magmar, Centiskorch, Beheeyam, Perrseker, and Weezing.

(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Constraint)

"But I see General Le Guin is no longer with you. But I have heard of Ragna the Bloodedge's strength along with many others with you. I know how outnumbered and outmatched I am." Dalton muttered "However, I still have something on my sleeves so I suggest you all surrounded."

"It's you who should surround Colonel." Lyn glared. "As you said, you're both outmatch and outnumbered."

"We know exactly what you're after as well." Rean glared. "You want the same thing as the soldiers who tried to pull off a coup in the capital."

"You must already know that their plan failed and they were arrested." Musse added "Yet here you are, subjecting Nord to the very same indignity."

"Don't tell me you seriously think you can pull off a cup of your own!" Sara glared

"Oh, but I do—for we have the support of the co-supreme leaders themselves." Dalton respond. "Had we defeated that loathsome Republic in the war, we could have brought unityand peace everlasting to all the continent. No... the world! Yet our leaders threw away that chance, knelt before our enemies, and cast aside arms forged by our countryman's blood! Erebonia is walking the road to ruin. Only one chance remains to correct our course."

"And you'd take the wheel?" Olivert asked

"No. You will, Your Highness. The crown prince is missing, your father has effectively become a recluse, and your sister is a mere puppet. Useless, one and all. But not you. You overcome death aboard this very ship and ever seek to better the Empire. You would be fitting symbol of its rebirth! If you and this ship joined the co-supreme leaders' ranks, our countryman would be sure to support the united nation. Then the Empire can take its place as the center of the world once more—for all eternity! Only that will bring TRUE prosperity to Zemuria!"

"In other words, you want Prince Olivert as a puppet for that "goal"." Yuri said.

"You must be... no scratch that. You must be one of the most stupidest men in the planet!" Ragna growled, causing Dalton to have an !? over his head. "All I see is that you want to use Olivert as a puppet and follow Osborne's path of ruin. And to make it more interesting. You're also siding with the most rotted dictators who are going to received the death penalty. And anyone who follows that men are also die along with them."

"It's bad enough that you would use Nord for this ludicrous plan, but insulting the wise Imperial Family further weights the crime you and those self proclaim 'co-supreme leaders'." Azura growled.

"And you'll also become the world's enemy, just as the Blood and Iron Chancellor is leading Erebonia." Shigure followed up. "You also realized that this would cause the EAF to reactivate their purpose on "purging" the remnants of his vile deeds, correct?"

"Ah...!" Sara grit her teeth.

"That's right..." Rean muttered. "The EAF leader will not rid Idly by as they will come after you all. And Unlike us, they will not hesitate to kill you. But even so..."

"Handing Olivert and his wife to that terrorist group with such a delusion of grandeur, and using the highlands to reignite the fires of war. You and the rest of your accomplices are nothing but sad, pitiful, and disgraceful beings." Levi shook his head. "While your crimes are unforgivable. I see that you are a man who lost his mind. And a man I plan to harm for dare following those two bastards and dragging and endangering everyone here. No amount of mercy I have left for me."

Dalton sighed. "Why can't you guys even see the big picture here?" Then Dalton was cloak in a dark aura along with his men and Pokemon. "We and the co-supreme leaders aren't thinking only for the Empire—our eyes are on the future of the world as a whole. Compared to such a grand cause, the welfare of royalty and a backwater region like this are insignificant! Ireelevnt! Why can you not understand that?!"

"You dare insult Nord as a backwater region?" Gaius glared

"Do you even hear yourself as well?" Rean muttered.

"Wait, that aura they're evoking..." Riku remarked.

"Emma." Emblem Vita looking at her.

"Yes. An Eerie mana is filling them to the brim... I'm sure they've been brainwashed in the same manner as Crossbell's people." Emma replied.

"Why am I not surprise? But even if I purge that corruption, they still follow this destructive path instead of facing reality." Levi muttered.

"Leaving them ripe for manipulation." Emblem Olivert muttered.

(BGM ended)

"All right... Listen to me: If you don't overturn your thinking, you will never be able to move forward." Olivert said.

Dalton blinked. "What?"

(Trails into Reverie ost - A Piece of Light)

"So much was lost during and because of that war. The National Mobilization Law placed a heavy burden on our people. Many lives were lost, and those who loved will remain forever scarred. While I escaped with my life, I did lose the original Courageous... as well as my brother, who I had hoped to entrust with this nation's future."

"Olivert..." Emblem Sigurd sadden as everyone else look at him sad.

"Aboma..." Abomasnow sadden.

"But those losses paved the way for boons we could not have acquired otherwise. And I gained much—a new pair of wings to fly, friends from many nations, my beloved wife, and a new generation of life. My Emblem Self met Cedric who was in Elyos. He chose his new path in order to move forward. As long as we do not turn our eyes from what we have lost, and let those losses guide us ever onward... we will not have TRULY lost anything—or at least, that is what I believe."

The Soldiers trailed off. "I...I..."

"If your hearts are too twisted for you to turn a critical eye to what you've gone..." Olivert aim his gun. "Then I will stop you. I have to—as one of the Imperial family...and a son of Erebonia.

"Tch. You think you can stop us? Then try it!" Dalton took his stand.

"Then we'll back him up." Lyn teleported behind them and slash every soldier.

"Augh!"

Levi aim his hand and unleash his power.

"Aaaaaaugh!" Dalton, his soldiers and the Pokemon yelled in agony as the corruption being purged from them as Kazuha and Rean move in zig-zag and then pas through the Soldiers, the Pokemon, and Dalton, knocking the ground in defeat.

(BGM ended)

(Trails into Reverie ost - Dark World)

"Aaugh..." Dalton groaned. "H-How dare you use such cheap—" Lyn him his sword on his face. "..!"

"Don't insult us if you think that was a cheap trick. You have yourselves to blame. Now surrender."

"Never!" Dalton kick Lyn off.

"Oof!" She winched as Dalton got back on his feet and ran.

"Wind Raid!" Ventus throw his Keyblade and knock Dalton on the ground.

"Augh!" He winched and then Levi teleported and stomp on his back. "Aaugh!" He then he impale the floor with his Glaive neat to Dalton's face.

"That's enough." Levi said, giving him a dirty look as the others appeared. "You are under arrest, for your crimes against the Imperial family, for siding with terrorists and for endangering the highlands and all of its inhabitants. But before that. You will tell us everything. Now."

"I'm not telling you anything! And this is not ever!" Dalton growled as he tried to pull out the communicator but Ragna stomp his arm. "Augh!"

"Nice try." Ragna taking away the communicator and crush it with his hand.

"No!"

"Don't make me tell you again." Levi giving the death glare.

"Ngh...!"

"Wait a minute." Byleth called out as he look around. "This isn't the full division. Where are the rest of the division soldiers?"

"Colonel Daltion." A voice spoked as the TV screen turn on and appeared Larxene and Marluxia.

"Lord Marluxia! Lady Larxene!" Dalton yelled

"It looks like you have been defeated. Not surprising." Marluxia let out a smirk. "Soldiers. Surround the Courageous II."

"Yes sir!" A Division soldier respond as airships that are hiding now appeared to surround the Courageous II.

"Airship? Were they standing by this whole time?!" Kurt growled

"Ahahaha!" Larxene laugh out a laugh. "I thought you guys were smarter than this. I guess my expectations just went down the drain."

"Hahaha! NOW who has the upper hand?!" Dalton laughed. "You might be strong, but you don't stand a chance against an entire armored division!"

"I should have known they should have airships—" Yuri grumbled as suddenly the Courageous was hit. "Augh!"

"What?!"

"W-We're under attack!" Emma yelled

"Do they not care that their fellow soldiers are on board?!"

"Just... just what is happening?" Dalton asked

"This isn't you?" Rean asked. "Marluxia, Larxene! Is this your doing?"

"That's correct." Marluxia answered, causing everyone to have an !? over their heads. "And now the plan has begun."

(BGM ended)

"Th-This is the airborne unit! Please respond! The unmanned tanks we had standing by are assembling and have begun to—AAAUGH!"

(Trails into Reverie ost - Stake Everything Strategy)

Outside the view of the Courageous II, the Automatic tanks begin firing toward the Courageous II and the airship in the 23rd Division Ships, shooting each one down.

Musse, Rean, Mario, Luigi, Kurt, Levi: who got off and pull his Glaive and put it away, Olivert and Kazuha quickly hurry and take operation to the ship and activated the ship barrier.

"I've deployed a shield for now!" Musse yelled

"But it's only a temporary measure, it's not going to last forever!" Kazuha stated

"L-Lord Marluxia! Lady Larxene! What is the meaning of this?!" Dalton yelled. "Why are the tanks firing at us?!"

"It's quite obvious, isn't it?" Larxene asked. "You and the rest of the Division have served your purpose. And ultimately failed." She said, causing Dalton to have an ?! over his head. "I expected that the colonel would be smart. But it turns out that you're just as a shmuck as every one of your soldiers."

"You were supposed to stay in Zender Gates, watch the watchtower, and protect that device. Once more, when Class VII and their friends arrived, you were pretending that you were still on their side by arriving late. But instead, you didn't. Which brought suspicion upon yourself. You abandoned the watchtower with the device, despite that fake Arios guarding it. You were supposed to transport it away with the mechanism that was installed. But your foolishness causes you everything."

"It's no wonder the co-supreme leaders find the 23rd Armored Disvion incompetent. Even the children can do a better job than you. But we and the co-supreme beings predicted this would happen. And we have no use for you simpletons to begin with. So now you're going to be discard with everyone here in the Courageous II. Along with the rest of the division in this field."

"You mean Rufus and Xehananrt plan to kill everyone here, even betraying his allies?!" Roy (Fire Emblem) asked in shock.

"Who said the 23rd Division was our allies? They're nothing but pawns." Larxene smirked.

"Exactly right. Unlike the Ebon Defense Force and the other allies, they hold more value than the 23rd Disivion and the fools with the failed coup. Goodbye, everyone. Enjoy the afterlife." Marluxia replied as he and Larxene sign off.

"Th...This can't be happening...!" Dalton fell on his butt. "Haha... Hahahahaha! That's it for all of us... We're do—" Ragna then punch his face hard enough that two of his teeth came out. "Waa—" he spinning and he crash his face to the wall and slid down with his ass sticking out.

"Shut the hell up you piece of shit!" Ragna yelled.

"Thank you!" Levi and Kurt smirked.

"Ragna, can you give him a few broken bones for me?" Levi smirked

"Wait, what?" Kurt blinked.

"With pleasure." Ragna approached, grabbed Dalton neck. "Devoured of Darkness!" He turn his hand into a into a claw and bombards them with dark tendrils, finishing with an explosion of darkness.

"Blaugh!" Dalton cough off blood from the devastating attack and then he fell on the floor lifeless

Levi sweatdrop. "Did you seriously kill the guy?"

"Relax, he's not dead. I just knock him out. I think." Ragna said

"You 'think'?"

"Hey, you like the idea of him being beaten to a pulp."

"No arguments there."

"Will you two focus on the situations at hand?!" Namine yelled.

"Can we escape aboard the ship, Your Highness?!" Rean asked

"Aidios willing, but I'm not sure we'll be ready in time. All we can do is hurry!" Olivert answered.

More thanks begin to appear.

"Ngh! We got more tanks on our tail!" Yu grumbled.

"Whoaoaoao waah!" Yoshi exclaimed.

"He said we won't be able to resist with this many tanks ganging us all at once!" Levi translate.

"RAAAAAAAH!" A voice yelled as a Panzer Soldot came in and destroyed a few tanks.

"Wha—that voice!" Dimitri gasped.

"Wasn't that Muller?" Brianna asked.

"Sorry for the delay! I managed to steal a unit from Zendet gate!" Mueller informed the group. "I know you're in there, Olivier! Get the ship ready for take off! And don't you even THINK of dying—because I have some choice words for you that your Emblem self doesn't earn that right."

Olivert chuckled. "Haha! I wouldn't dream of it, dear friend!"

Outside the Courageous...

Coming in hot on the scene was Aurelia's personal Soldot.

"The delivery is complete, General. The enemy has reinforcements on the way. Don't stray in the tray for too long." Schmidt said

"Please be careful—and keep Olivier and the others safe!" Scherizard pleaded.

"Understood. We'll meet you at the rendezvous point later." Aurelia replied as she hang up, and then hop into her Divine Knights Cockpit and begin to activate. Aurelia dash forward and swing to destroy many Automatic Tanks at once. Muellet then stood behind her. "To think it took all these years after following in your footsteps for us to fight side by side. I'd best see you put your interpretation of our master's Righteous Witness to good use!"

"Heh. I can't imagine the strongest swordswoman in the Empire would have much to learn from my unpolished swordplay. But I'm glad to have watching my back. Together we shall overcome these foes!"

Mueller and Aurelia then take off as they go forward, destroying many battle tanks as they can until the Courageous II take off.

(BGM ended)

Later...

(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Crimson Flash Shadow - Radiant Wings-)

After they meet up in the rendezvous point, everyone restrains the 23rd Division Soldiers by tieing them up, and Ragna threatens the soldiers by using Devoured of Darkness at one of them to show an example if they tried anything funny as he did to Dalton, causing them to fear him as they shivered. Meanwhile, Mueller was scolding Olivert while Furret was hugging Scherzard and cried while she comforted her Pokemon. But it wasn't long before Schmidt came in to give another crisis report from observing the watchtower.

"More of the Republic's weaponry is on the move?!" Rean gasped

"Indeed. I confirmed it as I was analyzing the projection device." Schmidt turn to the map as in the call was Grace, Thoma, Fatma, Sharl, Lily, and Sheeda. "Every one of their tanks and airships at the base started acting independently. It was chaos from there. Most of these left to gather at Nord's northeastern border."

"The 23rd Armored Divisions' tanks, airships, and Soldats have started doing the same thing. Forces hidden throughout the highlands started convening at Zender Gate after they had attacked the Courageous II." Aurelia muttered. "They can only be one possible reason for this remotely operated show."

"They're planning to stage a skirmish between the two armies much bigger than the one earlier... and use it as an excuse to restart the war." Gaius gritted his teeth and clench his fist.

"This is absolutely insane!" Dimitri growled.

"But none of this makes any sense." Brianna fold her arms. "Restarting the war was the 23rd Armored Division's goal, not the co-supreme leaders'. However, we can't deny that they are involved in this."

"But it doesn't logically connect with him taking over Crossbell and starting a united nation." Yuri said. "The only thing I can come up with is that Rufus and Xehanort wanted strife chaos and destruction."

"I honestly don't think I'd put anything past him at this point." Grace muttered

"We just don't have enough information to say for sure what's going on right now." Olivert muttered. "If only we were able to communicate those in Crossbell of the situation."

"And to make it more annoying, we were just used to camouflage their true intentions..." Scherazard growled.

"But how were they able to control all those tanks remotely?" Emblem Sigurd asked.

"I imagine they must have use Professor. E. Gadd's satellite that is producing orbal waves all over the world to make it possible." Olivert answered. "To think that they would use that kind old man invention like this. The thought brings ill to my thoughts."

"I would assume they are using a device somewhere in the highlands." Schmidt said

"If so, then our next move is clear." Musse said.

"Yeah. We need to find the remote control device behind this and destroy it." Rean agreed. "That's the only way we can prevent this situation from getting any worse."

"Then please, let us help you!" Thomas request.

"I-I can't fight, but I at least know the lay of the land!" Sheeda nodded.

"Oh, Thoma... Sheeda..." Thoma sadden

"Do you two of you understand just how dangerous what you're proposing is?" Gaius asked

'Yes... We know that a war might be about to start." Sheeda muttered

"But all of this is happening in our home. It's our problem. We don't want to sit on the sidelines while everyone else risks their lives to help us." Thoma said with determination. "We just to be why Lily, Mom, and Sharl are safe from harm!"

"Please, just... be careful." Sharl pleased.

'You're both the best." Lily cheered

"Heehee. They really are." Fatma smiled

"I won't lie—I'm a little scared. But I don't want to sit here cowering. Let us put those nerves to use. Please!"

Everyone just blinked.

"They've really grown, huh?" Rean smiled.

"Yeah. I'm so genuinely proud to know them." Levi smiled.

They all turn to Gaius who had a moment of thought until he smiled. "All right. I'll admit that we need all the help we can get, so we'll be happy to have backing us up. But promise me that you won't willingly put yourselves in more danger than you have to."

"We won't!" Sheeda swore.

"We promise!" Thomas smirked

"Well, now that that's settled, we need to start deciding who's going to do what." Sara said. "Those tanks could start attacking at any time. At least some of us are gonna need to be ready to stop them."

"I agree. Time is of the essence. Let's get to work!"

(BGM ended)

One discussion later...

(Trails into Reverie ost - Dark World)

Dropping off the Courageous II to the settlement was Rean, Levi, Kazuha, Roy, (Fire Emblem), Sara, Lyn, Brianna and Yu. Chairzard, Flygon and Swoobat was scene with them. They climb up the brown horses that was provided by the settlement. Thoma ride behind Rean as Sheeda ride behind Sara. Emblem Levi and Emblem Sigurd appeared by Rean and Levi side as they all look at each other and nodded their heads. They ride their horses and split up into groups. Rean's group: himself, Levi, Kazuha and Roy ride their horses to the north part of the highlands while Sara's group: Herself, Lyn, Brianna and Yu ride to the south part of the highlands.

Inside the tent were Schmidt and Grace as they were setting up communication and devices.

"All right. We're good to go!" Grace said.

"Operation preparations are complete. Report on your individual statute." Schmidt command.

In the southern Highlands...

Aurelia and her Soldot is positioned in the highland as her Kingambit hovering.

"I'm in position in the southern highland." Aurelia said

"Team A is also in position." Dimitri nodded as he, Byleth, Yuri, Shigure, Azura, Ventus, and Namine are waiting.

"The Courageous II is also in position." Mueller report as in the sky was the Courageous II.

"It's almost time..." Musse said on the ship.

"Is everyone in the northeast ready?" Olivert asked.

"Yes. We are also in position." Kurt said

In the southeastern highland...

In the bridge gap lying in waiting on the cliff was Kurt's Spiegel S, along with his Skarmory Empleon, and Aigislash. With him was Riku, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Ragna, Noel Vermillion, Gray, and Juvia,

"Gaius, Emma, can you get us started?" Kurt asked inside his Soldat.

In the air was Gaius's Merkabah was Emma.

"Of course." Gaius nodded.

"Replenishing mana!" Emma said

With Sara's group...

"That's definitely the most suspicious spot in the southern highlands." Sara said.

"Thinking back, those soldiers weren't even moving from that spot with the falling rocks. They were trying to block us. Especially that excuse of a vicious Pokemon. I bet that was a lie too." Lyn replied.

"Yeah, no kidding." Brianna nodded in agreement.

"Then let's find out what's really hiding behind that rock." Yu said. "Speaking, Gliscor spotted something from that, right?"

"Yeah, you're right." Sara nodded.

"There's an animal trail nearby that will allow us to approach unnoticed. I'll tell you where to go." Sheeda said.

"Thanks, you're a doll." Sara smiled. "Let's go ladies!"

"Right!" Lyn and Brianna nodded as they gallop.

"Wait, am I considered a lady?" Yu sweatdrop as he gallop.

With Rean's group...

Rean, Levi, Kazuha and Roy galloping in the middle of the northern part.

"My brother and the Lyns investigated the ancient quarry and Lake Lacrima the other day." Thoma informed. "There are only so many places in Nord to conceal something like this, so if we rule those out, one conspicuous spot remains."

"You're right! Then that's where we'll—" Rean suddenly paused as a strong sinister force was sense from a great distance. "...?!"

"Whoa! What was that?" Roy (Fire Emblem) asked, gritting his teeth with a sweat on his cheek.

"It make me think of a wounded beast." Thomas said

"No... that isn't something a wounded beast would do." Kazuha remark.

"I can feel something murderous in the air." Rean muttered.

"And that murderous intent directly leads to Lost Zen... Which happens to be where we need to look." Levi said

Emblem Sigurd appeared on horseback. "But now something extremely dangerous is waiting for us."

Emblem Levi appeared. "Yeah. This will not be an easy fight."

(BGM ended)

An explosion was heard as they heard the commotion from their ARCUS Alpha.

"The Empire's tanks have begun their advance." Musse report.

"I've confirmed the same on the Calvardian side! A significant of airships are also inbound!" Kurt report.

"Here we go..." Rean said.

"Yeah..." Levi muttered.

In the southern highland...

(Trails into Reverie ost - Stake Everything Strategy)

The automatic Soldots and Imperial Tanks begin firing as Aurelia's Soldot move in and taken them down with a single swing of her sword.

"Hah! What a rabble of soulless lumps. Is this all the challenge they can afford?" Aurelia smirked

"General Incoming from above!" Shigure yelled as Aurelia look up and dodge as Airships are firing bullets. Shigure flew in with his Pegasus as he flew and dodge every bullet swiftly and then form a drill attack, slashing each airship engine, causing it to explode.

The Courageous II firing missiles onto the ships, catching their attention and proceed to follow them.

"Take this!" Namine and Ventus yelled as they both throw Thundaga on the ships as Byleth and Yuri dash toward a couple of Soldats and tanks as they dodge, jump over and then begin to attack.

"Haaaah!" Byleth slid and then used Sublime Heaven to extends the Sword of the Creator to unleash an earth-rending shockwave, causing an explosion to many soldats and Imperial Tanks as Yuri jump into the air and then channeling wind magic into a large sphere and throw it toward the group of Tanks and then cause multiple tornados.

In the Northwest.

"ICE MAKE: WALL!" Gray place his hand on the ground, creating many walls of ice to block the tanks path.

Kurt throw Twilt Blade onto the tanks and destroyed them.

"Take this!" Noel Vermillion pulled out rocket launchers and firing missile onto Tanks.

"Empooooool!" Empoleon fired Flash Cannon to the tanks in the distance as Skarmony throw Rock Tomb onto the tanks.

"Water Cyclone!" Juvia throw a water clones that knock the tanks on their backs.

"Haaaaah!" Ragna with Bloodscythe swoop in and pass through tanks and destroy them as Mario and Luigi pull out Fire Flowers and absorbed it and then charge and throw Fireballs onto nearby tanks.

"Airships incoming!' Riku yelled as Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Noel Vermillion turn their heads to coming airships.

"Yooooo!" Yoshi unleash his final smash from Brawl into Super Dragon by sprouting Wings.

"What the...!"

"Oh right, it's been awhile since he used that final smash." Mario said as Yoshi flew to the Airship and shoot fireballs with destructive force, shooting down many down.

Gaius and Emma blink in the Merkabah.

"Haha... Yoshi you sly... er... Yoshi..." Emma nervous smile.

"Haha. Ah, this is what I love about our friends." Gaius chuckled. "At any rate, we should be able to hold our positions."

With Rean's group...

Rean, Levi, Kazuha and Roy by the statue of the lake as Rean called Schmidt.

"Ia this it, Professor Schmidt?" Rean asked.

"The orbal wave confirm that you're in the right place. The device is there for sure." Schmidt answered

As they look up, they see the Fake Arios waiting on top of the statue's head. Behind him in the distance was the device.

"Wh-Who is that?" Thoma asked

"Arios MacLaine. The Divine Blade of Wind. But this Arios is mechanical fake." Kazuha answered.

"Well, we've found what we came for." Rean put away his ARCUS Alpha. "Thoma, can you return to the settlement and start evacuating everyone? We'll see that the device is disable. Go!"

"All right! Good luck, guys. May the blessings of the winds and the Goddess be with you!" Thoma nodded as he climb up the horse and then take off.

"Okay, here's the plan. Levi, you and me will deal with the fake. Kazuha, you and Roy will disable the device."

"Understood." Kazuha nodded his head.

"Go and teach that fake who's boss!" Roy fist pump as he and Kazuha take off while Rean and Levi look up at the fake Arios who look down on them.

(BGM ended)

"You ready, partner? Emblems?" Rean asked, readied to draw his tachi from the scabbard.

Emblem Levi and Sigurd appeared.

"Ready." Emblem Levi and Emblem Sigurd respond.

"Ready as I am, partner." Levi smirked, pulling his Glaive, swirl it and then swing it.

The Fake Arios draw its tachi from its scabbard. Both side just stare until the Fake Arios dash with insane speed and then Rean and Levi follow suit, both sides clash their blades or Levi's case, his polearm at each other. The Duo and The Fake jump into a large field to do battle.

(Blazblue Chronophantasma ost - X-MATIC 2)

"You may not be the real Arios, but your skill with a sword is on par with a Divine Blade's." Rean spoked before he glared. "That's all the more reason I can't let you sully his name or the integrity of the Eight Leaves school any further!" He unleash his Enlightened Spirit Unificated as he was cloak in a golden firey aura. "As a master of the Seventh Form and a fellow swordsman of the same rank... I'm going to put an end to this!"

"Schwar... zer...!" The Fake Arios respond as he unleash a green battle aura.

"Heh. Let's get this party started." Levi took his stand as he, Rean and the Fake took their stand and then dash at each other.

The Fake Divine Blade - Fake Arios

Rean form a combat link with Levi. Emblem Levi appeared next to Rean on horseback and Emblem Sigurd appeared next to Levi.

Fake Arios clash his Tachi against Rean and Levi and both sides each other away. Fake Arios created clones of himself and each one throw Twin Arcane Gale toward the Duo. Levi swirl his Glaive into a spinning shield and deflected them as Rean ran up, jump over and dive down for the attack. Fake Arios block it and then cause a small shockwave of strength as Rean bounce off. Fake Arios jump after him and they swing acrobatically until Emblem Levi appears and swing fierce against him. Emblem Arios block and spin slash as Rean and Emblem Levi block and jump away.

Fake Arios landed on his feet as He turn and see Levi thrust at him. He duck, grabbed his Glaive to pull him to knee him, but Levi predicted this as he let go and crescent kick him but then palm strike his chest, then his chin and then ace kick, grabbed his Glaive from him, swirl it over his back and thrust, knocking him further as Emblem Sigurd gallop and slash him a she disappeared.

"Ngh!" He winched as Fake Arios jump into the air. "Fujin's Fury!" He dive toward Levi to slash through him, but he cartwheel to his left as Rean lung toward him and swing at him.

Fake Arios block it and then he swing against Rean, but he respond in kind. They swing at each other swiftly and fierce, only for Rean to tilt his blade for a parried, following Levi passes through at superhuman speed, leaving a trail of slash on Fake Arios, then Levi swirl his Glaive for swirl for an upward slash, damaging the fake as he retaliated by blocking Levi's upcoming swirl overhead slash. Then swirling combo swiftly in superhuman speed as Fake Arios blocking until he perform a spinning wheel as Fake Arios stepping back to avoid and then Levi slam down, creating a cleaver at he pushback.

Fake Arios send out a gale-like projection to Levi as he shift his body, and then sense Fake Arios to open area to slash him, only for Levi to calmly block it, then swirl swiftly for a backslash then swirling his Glaive for combo stike until he thrust. Fake Arios block, then Rean ran up and swing for a skyward like slash against Fake Arios then quickly spin around and kick him away. Fake Arios slid as Rean dashes and swing at him. Fake Arios block and then they swing at each others Fake Arios swift sweet kick him but Rean spring over him and slash him down and Emblem Levi spin rapidly on his horse and then rapidly thrust on him, then Rean took the Helix stand

"Helix strike!" He yelled as he swing horizontal slash left, then right and then rotate his body for a spin slash to form a helix formation tornado and strike Arios.

Levi follow up with Leather Assist and teleporting and swinging Fake Arios, combo slash him by swirling his body. Fake Arios growled and then rotate his body for a powerful spin slash to slash and knock away Rean and Levi together.

"Ngh!" Rean winched as Fake Arios zoom toward and passes through Rean and Levi for Twin Arcane Gale, then he warp around them and throw green ergy slash projection to corner them and then jump into the air.

"Fujin's Fury!" Fake Arios roared and swing down for a gigantic slash that cause a powerful explosion onto the two.

Rean and Levi slid on their feet as Arios dashes around in superhuman speed, forming a tornado around them. He passes through the Duo to deal slashes and then reappear outside and unleash his Tachi for a wide green energy slash, erupting the tornado for an explosion. Before he can retract, his eyes shift to his left and see Rean ready to strike him. He quickly block as Levi reappeared at the other and he also block that as well. Rean and Levi swinging at Fake Arios from both side at superhuman speed until Fake Arios jump overhead, flip upside down and then spin rapidly for a powerful spin slash to push them back away.

Levi and Rean backflip to the attack.

"Primordial Burst!" Levi throw his craft as a surge of light erupted underneath Fake Arios and blinded him.

"Arcane Gale!" Rean pass through Arios and then throw a crimson fire slash on him as Levi dashes as insane speed, swirling his Glaive for combo slashing him thrust him.

"Augh!" Fake Arios rolling on his back until he press his hand on the ground to slid.

Rean took his stand with Fake Arios and they both swing at each other, fiercely as projections of their slashes vision to their fight. As they slash at each other, they also harm each other. Fake Arios swing at Rean's torso, but block, parried and then horizontally slash Arios.

"Augh!" Fake Arios yelled in agony as more sparks spring on him as Emblem Levi swing at him, but Fake Arios jump over head and then spin rapidly with wind slashes.

Rean lunged as he deflected the slashes, then clash with the fake, pushing him until they both push at each other. They both lung at each other.

"Second form: Gale!" They both yelled, throwing wind and flame slashing at each other, causing the two attacks to interact into a tornado.

Fake Arios turn to attack, only for Rean to close his eyes, move faster as he rotate his body, then he dashes through superhuman speed and then slash through the Fake. Rean open his eyes and a combo strike between his left, right and in front of him converted into damage, enough to reveal a large cut of his mechanical arm.

(BGM ended)

"Im... pressive..." The fake praised as it fell in front and deactivated as Rean sheath his Tachi.

Emblem Levi appeared next to him. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah... I know that wasn't the real Arios but..." Rean muttered "Just what are the co-supreme leaders and their allies thinking?"

"Good question." Levi approached, staring at the fake. "If you ask me, they just like to cause some chaos."

"Yeah. How are Kazuha and Roy doing?" Rean look up to the direction and see Kazuha and Roy already deactivated the device.

"HEEEEY! WE DEACTIVATED IT!" Roy shout in the distance.

"Nice!" Rean smirked

Earlier in the northeast...

The Ships and Tanks begin to deactivate during Rean and Levi's fight with the fake.

"They stopped!" Juvia said.

"Looks like they found it. Mission success!" Riku smirked.

"Yeah. Rean's group must have found it." Mario fist pump.

South Highland...

Aurelia and her group already finished destroying many takes.

"I would've preferred some exercise... but it's good that it's over." Aurelia said.

"Seriously? You still want more? You really live up to your title." Yuri shrugged with a chuckled.

"Haha... Looks like we made it in time." Olivert smiled as Byleth and the others look at their Group call App.

"Reporting in, Your Highness!" Kazuha said

In the Courageous II...

(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Crimson Flash Shadow - Radiant Wings-)

Appeared on the screen was Kurt, Emma, Gaius, Riku, Ventus, Namine, Yu, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Ragna, Noel Vermillion, Aurelia, Gray, Juvia, Dimitri, Byleth, Yuri, Shigure, Azura, Kazuha, Roy, Schmidt and Grace.

"Roy and I disabled the remote control device. Did that do what we hoped?" Kazuha asked

"All Calvardian units in the northeast have creased to function!" Kurt report.

"The same applies for all of the Erebonian units in the south." Dimitri said.

"Then the operation was a success. Well done, everyone!" Olivert smirked. "By the way, where's Rean and Levi?"

"Oh. Those two are fighting the Fake Arios that was guarding the device." Roy (Fire Emblem) answered. "Oh. And it looks like they're done. Hang on I'll let them know. "HEEEEY! WE DEACTIVATED IT!"

"Roy! You shouted at us too!" Namine laughed.

"But I'm just glad we did it!" Luigi cheered.

"To say I'm relieved would be underselling it." Gaius sigh with relief.

"Hmph. As if there was any other possible outcome with me involved." Schmidt said

"Yeah, yeah. Good for you you old fart." Ragna rolled his eyes.

"R-Ragna..." Noel Vermillion sighed

"I honestlyfeated the worst at the point... but you did it, guys." Grace sigh with relief as Rean and Levi join in the call.

"Hey guys! Sorry for the hold up." Rean smiled

"We just dealt with the Fake Arios. Man, I love teamwork!" Levi chuckled.

"And I love that I have so many of my best friends in the whole world here with me to stop this crisis."

"Aww, you could me among your group? That's so sweet~" Grace smiled

"Umm... you don't count." Ragna giving a deadpan look.

"Hey!"

"Bwahahaah!" Levi laughed until Yuri and Kazuha hummed.

"Hm? Kazuaha? Yuri? Musse?" Brianna called them out. "What's wrong?"

"I apologize but... I feel like we're missing something." Musse replied.

"What do you mean?" Scherzard asked

"I'm sorry. I'm having trouble putting my thoughts into words." Musse turn to Yuri and Kazuha. "But Yuri, Kazuha. You felt something was missing too, right?"

"I'll be honest, yes. Something still doesn't feel right with me." Yuri replied

(BGM ended)

"The same applies to me..." Kazuha nodded in agreement. "It's more then just a gut feeling but... the air still feel like its suffocating..."

"Knowing Yuri and Musse's keen intelligent and Kazuha's ability with nature... there's no doubt that whatever insight they can provide can be extremely valuable." Byleth said

"Agreed. And if something goes wrong, we can have a certain someone tell us beforehand." Dimitri nodded

"Right." Yuri nodded as Olivert and Scherazard had an ? over their heads.

(Genshin Impact ost - Perilous Path or Metroid Prime 3: Corruption ost - Valhalla)

"Okay, I'll say about mine if I assume we're on the same page." Musse fold her arms. "Think back to the attempted coup in the capital. I think you'll agree that it didn't exactly seem meticulously planned. The same is true here in the highlands. This was a highly inelegant, brute-force approach to restarting the war. Neither operation feels like a plan that the co-supreme leader would orchestrate."

"That's right. Despite the fact that Rufus and Xehanort is involved with this. How can someone like Rufus would act so sloppily?" Yuri asked. "Then we have the signing ceremony, every move he's made has been flawless—so flawless that it's almost disturbing."

"All evidence still points to them being a fraud, but that doesn't make them the lesser stragegist. If anything, both Rufus and Xehanort proven themselves to the better. You all recalled what both Marluxia and Larxene said to Colonel Dalton?"

"It's no wonder the co-supreme leaders find the 23rd Armored Disvion incompetent. Even the children can do a better job than you. But we and the co-supreme beings predicted this would happen. And we have no use for you simpletons to begin with. So now you're going to be discard with everyone here in the Courageous II. Along with the rest of the division in this field." Larxene's words came into their heads.

"Exactly right. Unlike the Ebon Defense Force and the other allies, they hold more value than the 23rd Disivion and the fools with the failed coup. Goodbye, everyone. Enjoy the afterlife." Marluxia's words came into their heads.

"Both of them confirm the co-supreme leaders dispose of the military elements we've been facing from the start. Meaning our actions are suiting their needs by taking them out of the picture." Musse said

Olivert had an ! over his head. "Hold on a second. If what you're saying is true... then our victory here was exactly what the co-supreme leaders wanted to happen all along?"

"Wait, you serious?" Ragna asked in surprise.

"That... can't be right... right?" Noel Vermillion asked

"But now that raise another question." Yuri said. "What is he planning after that?"

Musse gasped. "You're right. The game isn't over yet—we still have time to turn this in our favor!"

"But how?" Olivert asked.

"All right, Kazuha, what about you?" Yuri asked

"Well..." Kazuha hummed. "Ever since we arrived in Nord... the air all around feels... dread. In fact, Many of the Pokemon who are living in Nord suddenly left the highlands did they not? It's like they noticed something was very very wrong. And force them to flee. Which means..."

"Which means what?" Mario asked.

"Which means there is still something in Nord... something ominous enough that will cause an evacuation."

"Ah!" Noel Vermillion gasped.

"Noel?" Ragna asked

"I... I remember something. Do you all remember back during the settlement? That I witness something scary that something is preventing me from seeing further? I think I remember something... it's a tiny fragment but... it felt like—"

"Your Highness! Everyone!" A voice yelled as Sara, Yu, Lyn, and Brianna giving a grim look.

"Sara, Lyn, Yu and Brianna?" Scherazard asked.

"Your expression is grave." Olivert remark.

"Everyone, there's no time to waste! We found something that's completely bringing us dread to the core!" Yu grit his teeth.

"We found a railway gun in the stone circle! And it's about to fire!" Brianna exclaimed.

(BGM ended)

Everyone's eyes widen with an !? over their heads.

With Sara's group...

(Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity ost - Disquiet)

Sara who is calling on her ARCUS Alpha along with Lyn, Brianna and Yu witness the Railway Gun is being activated.

"A RAILWAY GUN/ABOWAWAW WAAAH!?" Mario, Luigi and Yoshi yelled

"Why is there a railway gun!? And why is it activated?!" Riku asked

"There was a projection device just like the one at the watchtower here, too. The second the remove control device was disabled, it turned off, and the gun started preparing to fire!" Sara answered.

"And to make it worse! Its target has been preset as the highland's settlement!" Lyn exclaimed.

"WHAAAAAAAAT?!" Everyone yelled in horror

"All of that was preprogrammed?!" Kurt yelled

Musse gritted her teeth "That has to be the case. Firing that gun was likely the co-supreme leaders' true aim all along!"

"AH!" Noel gasped in horror. "That's it! It was smoke! Smoke and fire! Smoke and fire means death! They're planning to destroy the highlands!"

"Oh my god...!" Ventus gasped in horror.

"RUFUS AND XEHANORT YOU BASTARDS!" Ragna yelled in rage.

"So that explains it! They planning to exterminate all life here in the highlands! So that is what Marluxia meant by the afterlife! They were planning to kill everyone here!" Kazuha exclaimed

"Can't you stop it, you guys?!" Gaius asked

"I've tried, but the control room is locked, and we can't force our way inside!" Sara muttered

"I tried to destroy it, but there is this invisible barrier in place! It's completely impenetrable!" Lyn lower her head, gritting her death.

"Brother! You have to use the Divine Pulse! Hurry!" Brianna yelled.

Byleth's group...

"Ah, right!" Byleth nodded as he used the Divine Pulse to reverse the flow of time. Until suddenly a flash of a sinister glare appeared out of nowhere sent a wavelength, causing Byleth to open his eyes in horror. "AAAAUGH!" he fell on his knees with his right hand holding his head as everyone had an ?! over their head.

"BABE!" Yuri knee down and help him as Shigure, Azura, Ventus, and Namine approached him.

"Byleth, what happened?!" Rean exclaimed.

"Nngh... A-A glare..." Byleth groaned. "S-Something... is blocking the Divine Pulse...!"

Yuri had an !? over his head. "WHAT?!"

"Is that possible!?" Emma exclaimed.

"Wait, what's the Divine Pulse?" Olivert asked

"There's no time!" Brianna yelled. "The firing sequence has already begun! We have to evacuate everyone from the settlement!"

"Thoma's getting the horses ready as fast as he can, but..." Grace muttered

"There's no way to outrun the blast from an eighty-rege shell. It's too late." Schmidt said nonchalantly.

"No... Lily! Mom!" Sheeda cried.

Aurelia begin to move swiftly in her Sodlot.

"All we can do is what we can! But we can't afford to give up!" Aurelia stated.

"We're on our way! Sara, Lyn, Brianna and Yu, just get out of there for now!" Olivert yelled as the Courageous II start moving.

With Rean...

Suddenly the White Knight appeared from above as Valimar look up.

"Wha...?!" Rean gasped

"Impossible...!" Valimar gasped as the White Knight raised its arms and swing down its fast to Valimar, but he quickly block it but was launch to the ground.

"Aigh!"

"Eeek!" Lily screamed.

"This HAS to be a joke..." Grace shivered.

"HAAAAA/RAAAA!" Two voiced roared as slash projections were thrown at the White Knight who swiftly dodged, revealing to be Kurt and Aurelia in their Soldot and Paladin.

"Kurt!" Thoma gasped.

"KURRRRT! PRINCIPLEEEEEE!" Rean screamed in Horror. Valimar took his stand. "RAAAAAAAAUGH!" He dash toward the White Knight to attack, only to be attacked by Aion Ridley and slam him to the ground. "Augh! You!"

Valimar kicked Aion Ridley off as he got back on his feet, then seeing Aion Ridley recovered and the White Knight appeared next to him.

"Two against one? Who are you?!" Rean yelled

The White Knight lung at Valimar to slash him, but Valimar block and parried to slash him, then Aion Ridley throw a laser beam from its mouth to knock Valimar away.

Until a portal appeared and Giratina emerged and rammed into the White Knight. Levi pull his horse's rein as his horse neigh.

(BGM ended)

Until it was impaled by a Gigantic Spear, dropping Valimar.

"..!" Levi gasped as he look up at the sky.

(Fairy Tail ost - Celestial King Summoning)

The Sky suddenly change color to orange as the clouds begin to rotate around each other, forming into the sun as it shine brightly. The White Knight, including everyone who look in shock as they eye widen. Descending down was a golden ball of light, but emerging from it was Zhongli as his eyes was glowing. Although hardly anyone could see it, those like Aurelia, Class VII, Zeit, Roselia, Yen Sid, Olivert, The Mario Bros, Mueller, Scherazard, basically the heroes were able to see Zhongli floating in the air.

"Brother..." Levi said in owe.

Zhongli teleported above. He summons his Spear and throw it at the White Knight who generates an energy blast to deflect it, causing a large explosion behind it. The White Knight flew toward Zhongli until he raised his arm and emerging from the clouds were gigantic Spears. He aim toward the White Knigt as the spears flew towar them at incredible speed. The White Knight swing to deflect, but it ended up getting hit, causing a static on its arms, then multiple lance begin to impale the arms, the legs and the body. Zhongli aim his hand and then fired an asteroid to the White Knight, causing a massive pillar of amber light to skyrocket into the atmosphere.

Once the light fades quickly. The White Knight was static all over its body and then fell onto his knees. Aion Ridley flew toward Zhongli to impale him with his tail, but he catch it calmly with just a pinch. His eyes shifted to his left and then Aion was blown away by gravity. Then multiple blades begin to impale the Aion as it screech in agony. Once the blade is gone, the Aion fell to the ground and static. Zhongli descend to the ground, approaching the White Knight with his Spear in hand.

"Who are you piloting that Knight?" Zhongli asked as he was cloak with an amber aura. "You will not leave until I know who you are."

The White Knight glancing at Zhongli as he grit its fist, as it respond angry. It suddenly open a portal underneath.

"Oh no you don't!" Zhongli aim his hand cloak in power to immobilize it, until the white knights eyes flash and fired a laser beam on him, forcing Zhongli to form a barrier to shield himself. "Ngh!" He growled as the White Knight sink into the portal and vanished, taking the White Knight with it.

(BGM ended)

"Tch. It got away..." Zhongli growled as he dim his power, returning the sky back to normal.

Before Levi can even respond, he was more focus on Rean as he quickly dismount and ran toward Valimar.

"REAN! VALIMAR!" He yelled as he hop down the crater.

Coming back was Sara, Brianna, Lyn, Yu, Kazuha, and Roy. They quickly dismount from their horses and then teleporting in was Roselia, Zeit, and Yen Sid with Emma, Musse, Gaius, Riku, Ventus, Namine, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Gray, Juvia, Dimitri, Brianna, Byleth, Yuri, Shigure, Ragna, Izanami, Azura. They all ran up to Valimar as Rean ejected himself out of him, only to reveal severe wounds.

"Augh..." Rean collapse to the ground.

"REAN!" Everyone yelled as Levi pick him up and place him in his arm as he begin to heal him.

"H-His wounds!" Emma exclaimed as she knee down and cast her healing magic as Riku, Ventus and Namine raised their Keyblade for Curaga on Rean.

"Nngh..." Rean slowly open his eyes.

(Trails into Reverie ost - Lapis)

"Rean! Are you okay!?" Sara exclaimed

"Instructor... Levi... Everyone." Rean groaned as Emblem Levi appeared by his side.

"His wounds are severe from that battle! He needs medical right away!" Emblem Levi exclaimed.

"Haha..." Rean let out a smile. "I'm glad... that you're all... okay..."

"Rean, don't talk! We'll get you healed up right away!" Levi stated, giving a sad look as he was about too cry.

"I'm... fine... perfectly..." Rean's eyes begin to close, causin everyone to eye widen as his vision dim. "Fine..."

(BGM ended)

Meanwhile...

"RAAAAAAAUGH!" Chaos Rean stomping his feet frustrated. "Damn it! I was so close! I was so damn close!"

"Did you enjoy your rampage?" Terumi asked as Chaos Rean turned to him who lay his back on the wall, playing with his knives.

(Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories ost - Thirteen Discretion)

"What the hell do you want, Terumi? As you can see, I'm in no mode." Chaos Rean growled.

"I sense a very familiar presence who suddenly awakened. I went to the same place you went to and guess who I found it. It was Izanami."

"Izanami? And who the hell is she supposed to be?"

"Hades: Izanami is Death Incarnation of the Master Unit from my world. And the annoying drive of it too. Somehow, you awakened her with your presence."

"Death incarnation? The concept of death?" Chaos Rean raised an eyebrow. "Hmph. Death holds very little meaning against me."

"Don't underestimate her. She's more than capable of handling you. I know this for a fact personally."

"You clearly don't understand about me and my power. Death cannot claim those who are immortal. Even if I am mortal. It's impossible for me to die."

"And yet, Lloyd Bannings has been resurrected." Terumi wave his arm casually, causing a surge of anger as Chaos Rean eyes shrink in rage.

"Never mention that name to me." His aura calm down. "It's bad enough because of that wretched daughter of Sombron resurrected him, but now I failed to kill REAN SCHWARZER of all people! That Pokemon God and his Creation Trio were nuisance. But I handle them, until that... until that... RAAAAAUGH!" He roared in rage as he held his head and scratched. "WHO THE HELL IS THAT GUY?! HOW DID HE MANAGE TO HARM ZOA GILSTEIN!? Because of that bitch! I wasn't able to kill REAN SCHWARZER! I will get my revenge on him!"

Terumi stop playing with his knives, glancing at Chaos Rean. "Have you heard of researching someone?"

"Huh?" Chaos Rean turn to Terumi.

"And speaking of research. There is a flaw in your plan. Something that you failed to take heed."

"What are you going on about?"

"Those children who were carried the briefcase. Dimentio told me that they were from the Garden. That organization of assassins who made their escape after killing the Emperor."

"And why should I care about them?" Chaos Rean asked, giving a 'don't give a shit' look.

"Those little brats were carrying that formal administrator of Elysium." Terumi answered, causing Chaos Rean to have an ! over his head. "Her name is Lapis Rosenberg. She was delivered to C. Who turns out to be the real Rufus Albarea. Thanks to him, he led Class VII into Heimdallr to foil that coup d'etat. Next, they head to the Rosenberg Doll Studio to regain her memory. And now the next thing they plan to do is head to the one who spoke to Lapis personally when she was an administrator. Ian Grimwood."

"Get to the point."

"That administrator is the "key" to undo everything. You need to deal with that doll and Rufus's group. Not just Rean and Lloyd's group. You should focus your attention on her and rid of her for good. And then kill Rufus's group with it. That way, with that administrator gone, then you can focus on killing both Rean and Lloyd's group."

"Hmph." Chaos Rean turn around. "As if that doll can do anything that would jeopardize what I have planned. Let them do as they like. It won't be long until all of the heroes in this world is wiped out. Including the formal administrator."

"You're going to let them be?" Terumi asked in disbelief.

"I couldn't care less what they do. Even if the formal administrator realized who she was before I've taken Elysium under my control. There is nothing she can do that will stop me."

"You're making a big mistake if you don't deal with her now."

"I'm in no mood to argue. I need to repair Zoa Gilstein and Aion Ridley." Chaos Rean teleported away

Terumi growled. "Is he seriously that stupid for not realizing she's the true threat?! It's no wonder that jester claims the other him should have raised him better. Fine." Terumi then begin to take off. "Then I'll deal with this matter my own hand."

That was really an insane scene everyone. First, we got the big bad Chaos Rean made his intro, then the Pokemon God and Creation Trio to the rescue and then Levi's Big Brother made a grand entrance! Here is the data for the two.
