Fire Emblem: Alternative Universe

We cautiously went down the mysterious staircase and saw candles lighting up the room. By room I mean a massive one. It was so large. That's when I saw something standing in the middle of the large room. It was a dark figure riding a horse. "Wha-What is that?!" Ignatz yelled and then I saw a pile of girls in the corner as well, one of them having green hair. "That's Flayn!" Hilda said and pointed to the corner. "That person... who is that?" I asked and Hilda shook her head, "That must be the rumored Death Knight. Why is he doing here?"

"Oh! Finally we reached the tomb! Now we can get the Sword of Creation!"

"Hurry up! I'm not wasting more hours guarding you, these girls must be transported." The figure explained. "We need to stop that man and save the girls." I said and then looked at what we had. It was just six of us versus a Death Knight and a man who was dressed in a robe. We don't know how powerful they were. "We need to split up. Who is the quietest here?" Everyone pointed to Marianne who ducked her head. "Ok, Marianne I need you to quietly sneak to that corner and get those girls upstairs. Ignatz I want you to help her."

"Got it."

"Now it's just us." I said and looked at Hilda, Raphael, and Lorenz. "We need to get over to that tomb. Whatever this Sword of Creation thing must be extremely valuable, we have to stop him. In the meantime we avoid fighting the Death Knight." Everyone nodded and we went our ways. The two people brought some back up as well. Wasn't too long before some of their guards saw us. Not Marianne and Ignatz though, they were saved by those eyes.

I prayed that they wouldn't get caught and us four had their attention. We managed to pull our weight and I healed Raphael a bit with some of my healing items I had. We pushed forward and now the Death Knight was glaring towards our direction, "It's the girl and her house. Why I'm not surprised you didn't keep your end of the bargain." I stopped and aimed my lance at its horse and where it sat, "What do you mean?" Then it hit me. The Death Knight... it was Jeritza. "Answer me this! How do you know my dad?" I asked and the Death Knight (Jeritza) chuckled, "Like I said before, he is working with me. If you want to see him, tell your house to retreat and come with me."

"Victoria don't do it!" Hilda yelled, "I know your dad or whatever is someone you love, but if he's on their side, he's a lost cause!" She was right. I am here to protect this Church and get answers. Yes, my dad is the one who talked about portal jumping, but it wouldn't explain how I ended up here. Actually... yes it would. My head shook as my thoughts questioned one another and tried to come with an answer. "I... I refuse!" I exclaimed and Lorenz cheered a bit behind me. The Death Knight sighed and raised his weapon, "I'll tell him that his dead daughter did a sinful act."

Quickly I pulled out a smoke bomb from my pocket and threw it down. I turned around and ran up a small flight of stairs to the man that held a sword. That must be the Sword of Creation! The man in the robe stared at me, "Foolish girl! Where are your friends?"

My head whipped around as I saw Hilda, Lorenz, and Raphael fighting the enemies. "Guys!" I yelled and the robed guy lifted his weapon and I blocked the attack with my lance. "The Death Knight claims to know your father! I wonder who he is-"

"That's none of your damn business!" I angrily yelled and pushed the lance towards him to make him jump back. "Seems to me this school has taught you some skills. Now can it protect you against the sword's power?" The sword in his hands then glowed a red color and then it broke down into a whipped chain. He laughed as he lifted it up and snapped it down. I slid to the side and watched as when it landed it broke the ground beneath it. Panic went through my mind. If I get hit with that thing, I'm good as dead! "This sword is only powered by the ones who wield a crest. I myself have one, you do not. What are your final words?"

"E-E..."

"What was that?"

"Eat shit!" I roared and pulled out my bow and arrow and shot at his hand. He flinched and let go of the weapon and it contorted to its normal form. "You think shooting an arrow at me hand will stop me?"

"No. But it will give me time to get some back up. Raphael!"

"Yes Victoria?!" He asked after he threw one of the enemy guards to the side. "I need your help up here and fast!"

"Coming up!" Raphael appeared to me and helped me on my feet. The robed man laughed. "Seriously this guy?"

"Yes. If you can take on someone who's shooting at you as well as someone who's punching you." I said and then I told Raphael to charge at the man. He did and threw punches which the robbed man blocked. I stood behind the scenes and made sure that ass hole didn't pick up that sword. I fired another arrow and it hit the same arm, only the shoulder part. He winced and then got sucker punched in the stomach. "Victoria! We're here!" Hilda said as Lorenz whipped out his spell book. "Let's take care of this shall we?"

I nod and then fired an arrow at the other shoulder when the man tried to get up. "What happened to the Death Knight?" I asked Hilda and she shrugged and pointed. I looked and saw he was gone. "That coward!" The man gargled and then groaned when Raphael punched his stomach again and made him fall over. The battle was done, we won. Surprisingly.

Hilda grabbed the sword and held it close as Lorenz and Raphael held their weapons towards the man. "What was your plan here?" I asked and aimed my lance at his face. "Our plan? Well I'm not going to tell you-"

"We got all the girls to safety!" Marianne yelled as she walked up and Ignatz came too, with some church guards and Claude in tow. "You guys! You're alive!"

"Of course we are!" Lorenz yelled, "I would honestly die if I passed away."

"How would that work?" Raphael asked and backed up when the guards came up and seized the man. Seteth walked up behind the guards. "Victoria..." I turned to him and he sighed, "Thank you... for this." I hummed and then turned to Claude who walked up and slapped my back, "See? Told you you're save with them." I nod and then grew exhausted. "Tired?" Claude asked as my body became a bit limp and I rested against him, I nod and then smile. "What's my prize for living?"

"I would say a nice board game, but since this was a huge success, I'll treat you to some smoked salmon." My eyes lit as I thanked him over and over again. Hilda laughed and Raphael requested more food. All of us went up and out of that room and mad our way to the dinning hall.
