The Future Past 2/Script

Outrealm Gate

 * Naga: Well met, Outrealm warriors.
 * Chrom: Uh-oh. If it's you who summoned us, then this must be about that alternate future.
 * Naga: Correct. Thanks to your aid, those first four children manage to survive their ordeal. Shortly thereafter, another four succeed in retrieving Argent and Sable. However, their victory is all too brief. Unable to stave off their Risen pursuers, they are soon overwhelmed and killed... Alas, the Gemstones they recovered fall back into the fell dragon's hands.
 * Chrom: ......
 * Naga: Without all five Gemstones, their world has no hope. You must intervene.
 * Chrom: I understand.
 * Naga: Thank you. Then I shall send you now to the brink—the moment in time before the world falls. Again I offer the same counsel. The world you are about to visit bears a great resemblance to your own. You may encounter people you know or people you love... If you do, fight by their sides. It will give them great courage and strength. Now go, warriors. Let destiny once again be reshaped by your hands!

Before Battle Starts

 * Owain: *Huff, huff* Infernal Risen! Have we lost them yet?!
 * Inigo: I hate to tell you, but they're right on our tail...
 * Yarne: What? Y-you're kidding! I can't run another step... Ahh, it's all over... I guess this is extinction...
 * Brady: Would you can it already? We need to keep movin'! If we don't deliver Argent and Sable to Ylisse, this entire world's hosed!
 * Yarne: Eek! All right, all right...
 * Owain: Blast! More Risen up ahead! Heh, a pincer attack... Clever...
 * Inigo: Here! There's a bridge... But if the Risen box us in...
 * Owain: Never mind that. Brady, Yarne, go! Inigo and I will hold this side of the bridge while you secure the other!
 * Brady: You got it!
 * Yarne: B-but I'm afraid of heights...
 * Owain: They're here, Inigo. Stay vigilant!
 * Inigo: Don't worry. I'm not letting a single Risen get across!
 * Brady: How's it lookin', Yarne? You see any of them dastards?
 * Yarne: Hmm... Yeah, I see a few down south. We could probably outrun them. But...there's a whole horde of those things closing in on us from the west. If we're gonna run, we need to go now!
 * Brady: All right, thanks. We better move. HEY! Owain! ...Inigo! You need to get down here...NOW! We got a whole army of dead flesh marchin' in from the west!
 * Inigo: You hear that, Owain? We'd better cross the bridge.
 * Owain: ......
 * Inigo: Owain?
 * Owain: ...If we cross the bridge now, these Risen are gonna follow us. Right?
 * Inigo: Right. Almost definitely.
 * Owain: That's if we're lucky. If we're unlucky, they'll rip us to shreds the second we turn around.
 * Inigo: True. We'll need to back our way across.
 * Owain: But that'll take too long, especially if we have to hold them off as we go. Brady doesn't even have a weapon. How are you, me, and Yarne going to protect him once we're surrounded?
 * Inigo: The odds are not good, I agree, but...we have to try.
 * Owain: No. I've got a better idea.
 * Inigo: Uh...okay?
 * Owain: I'll hold off the Risen while you cross. Once you make it to the other side, cut down the bridge.
 * Inigo: And strand you here? Are you crazy?! What are you talking about?
 * Owain: Just shut up and go! We don't have time to argue about this! Do you want me to die, or do you want ALL of us to die?!
 * Inigo: ...!
 * Owain: Ugh. I'm sorry... I don't mean to shout. But you KNOW what's at stake here!
 * Inigo: You're serious.
 * Owain: ...Yes.
 * Inigo: And you're sure there's no way we can fight and survive this together?
 * Owain: ...I'm sure.
 * Inigo: ...... *Sigh* All right.
 * Owain: I'm sorry to make you do this, Inigo. But...I'm glad I got to spend my last moments with you. Now cross that bridge and go! The fate of the world is in your hands!
 * Inigo: ......
 * Owain: Um... This is the part where you go.
 * Inigo: Sorry, Owain. I can't do it.
 * Owain: What?! B-but...my epic speech...
 * Inigo: BRADY! YARNE! Go on without us!
 * (Inigo severs the bridge)
 * Yarne: Yeep! The bridge!
 * Brady: What the hell are those stupid jackfarts doing?!
 * Owain: Inigo, you idiot! We didn't both have to die!
 * Inigo: I'm not the one being an idiot!
 * Owain: Huh?
 * Inigo: Maybe your plan is the best way to get the Gemstones back to Ylisse. But what am I supposed to tell Lucina and the others? "Oops, sorry! Owain sacrificed himself!" Your parents DIED for you, Owain. I don't care how smart you think it sounds. You're not throwing your life away.
 * Owain: But if I don't do this, the world is gonna—
 * Inigo: Stop. We can save the world together. Don't you want to be there to see it? I'm not leaving the Gemstones OR my friends behind, Owain. You want to fight? We'll fight. BOTH of us. And in case you hadn't noticed, I'm not taking no for an answer.
 * Owain: ...... Heh. All right, fine... I suppose I was too legendary to die anyway. Very well, then. Let's crush these Risen and head home to Ylisse!
 * Inigo: Now we're talking!
 * Brady: ...Show-offs.
 * Yarne: Brady, come on! We have to help them!
 * Brady: ...... No, let's press on.
 * Yarne: What?!
 * Brady: I said we're going back to Ylisse! You wanna sit around and wait for these Risen to come tear us apart?
 * Yarne: B-but...you can't MEAN that?! They'll die without our help! We'll never see them again! Don't you care about them at all?!
 * Brady: Of course I do, you...s-stupid rabbit!
 * Yarne: Urgh...
 * Brady: If I could, I'd run over there right now and fight to the death! But that's not what they want. Why do you think they cut down the bridge? They know we have the Gemstones. They want us to escape. Once we get them back to Lucina, we can destroy Grima. End of story. A messy, heroic death for us won't solve anything, you dummy!
 * Yarne: I know, but... *sniff*
 * Brady: Look, Owain and Inigo will be fine. You know what they're made of. I'll be damned if the last we see of them is some hellhole like this. ...Now come on, Yarne. We need to go.
 * Yarne: ...... ...... ...Fine.
 * Brady: Good man. ...Bunny. Whatever.
 * Yarne: HEY, OWAIN! INIGO! If you can hear me... I promise we'll deliver the Gemstones to Ylisse! Everything will be okay! B-but don't you dare die on us! I mean it! There's nothing a taguel hates more than a quitter!
 * Owain: Heh. Don't you worry! We won't quit. We'll catch up!
 * Inigo: That's right. See you in Ylisse—I promise!
 * Yarne: ...You better. ...... They'll pull through. They have to...

After Battle Starts

 * (Text Box: Have blood relatives wait near green units to sometimes trigger special conversations.)

W/ Owain

 * Owain: Hmm? Who is THAT? It's like I'm gazing into the mirror of my very soul! Together we could instantly vaporize the enemy with a Dual Owain Blast... But then again, waiting until the last second would be more epic... Hmm... Huh? Ack! He's coming this way! What do I do? I'm not ready! Shoot! I have to find a place to hide!
 * (Owain hides)
 * Owain (NPC): *Huff, huff* ...Where did he go? How strange. He looked just like me! ...Could it be like that old tale? At the gates of death, we are met by our own twins... No, that's rubbish. It can't be! I swore I would make it back to Ylisse! If the Reaper wants my soul, he'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands!
 * (Owain reappears)
 * Owain: Whew... Talk about your close encounters. And yet, what resolve in his eyes! What determination in his stance! Perhaps it was fortuitous I did not break his concentration. Yes... Tonight, Alter-Owain must blaze his own path to glory! Go, Alter-Owain! I've got your back!

W/ Lissa

 * Lissa: Owain? It's you, isn't it? I'm so glad you're all right.
 * Owain: M...M-M-Mother? That's impossible! You've been dead for years! And...I remember you being bigger.
 * Lissa: Well, maybe YOU were just a shrimp! Ugh. Anyway... I'm not the Lissa you're thinking of. This is going to sound insane, but I've come from another world to rescue you. After all, you are still my son...in some weird, cross-dimensional way.
 * Owain: ...Oh.
 * Lissa: "Oh"? ...That's it? Usually a word like "cross-dimensional" sends you into spasms of nomenclature. Aren't you going to shout "My sword hand twitches!" or something?
 * Owain: ...... *Sniff* You're alive...
 * Lissa: Owain, are you...are you crying?! Did the Risen bonk you on the head? Let me see the bump. Come on...
 * Owain: I'm fine! I'm n-not crying! It's like you said... M-my eyelids twitch in rapture!
 * Lissa: Owain, I—
 * Owain: Behold! Like a whetstone of hope, you have crossed the planes to sharpen my b-blade... M-my ethereal blade of...of... Baaaaaah! *sob* *whimper*
 * Lissa: Oh, Owain... There, there. Everything's going to be all right. You're such a brave boy—always putting up a bold front. I'm really, really proud of you. So you go ahead and have a good cry in your mother's arms. You earned it.
 * Owain: BAAAAAAAAAAH! Mother, I'm so, so sorry! I shouldn't have let you die! And I shouldn't have given up like I did at the bridge. You didn't save me just so I could throw my life away! I'm sowwy, Mubba... *sniff* I'm a *sob* h-howwible berson... *wail*
 * Lissa: Hey. Wipe your nose, mister. You're dribbling. You are certainly NOT a horrible person. You're my son. All that matters is that you're safe. Now...if you're done sobbing and sniffling, we've got work to do. These Risen will be the ones crying when WE'RE done with them. So what do you say, kiddo? Ready to save your future?

Avatar (Male)

 * Avatar: Owain? ...Owain!
 * Owain: F-Father?! No, I must be seeing things. The enemy seeks to vex me with cruel illusions! My father can't be here, because he's...he's...
 * Avatar: You're right, Owain. I'm not your father. At least not in this world. I've come to help you from a world of my own.
 * Owain: And how do I know THAT'S not a trick?
 * Avatar: I'm glad you're smart enough not to take it at face value. You think like a tactician. At least I know my son was raised well. ...And anyway, it doesn't matter if you believe me. I didn't come here to convince you.
 * Owain: ......
 * Avatar: I won't be able to stay in this world for very long, but I... I just want you to now that I'll do what I can to protect you while I'm here. ...Farewell, Owain. You've grown up to be a fine lad. Stay alive, and grow strong... Carve out your own future. I may not be able to share it with you, but I'll always be watching over you.
 * (Avatar leaves)
 * Owain: ...W-wait! Father, please!
 * (Avatar reappears)
 * Avatar: Huh?
 * Owain: You ARE him. Those were my father's exact last words to me. If you were some trick of the enemy, how could you possibly know that? You may be from another world, but you ARE my father.
 * Avatar: Owain... *sniff* That's right. I am your father. And to be honest... it does matter if you believe me. More than you can know.
 * Owain: *Sniff* Father... I'm so sorry I doubted you!
 * Avatar: Don't be sorry. I don't care what you say or do to me, just as long as you're safe. Now dry your tears and let's fight together! We're going to get you home to Ylisse.

Vaike

 * Vaike: Hey, Owain!
 * Owain: That voice! ...F-Father?!
 * Vaike: Wrong! This Vaike has come from another world to do what your father couldn't. ...And that's to kick some sense into your scrawny arse!
 * Owain: It's good to see you again, Father. But I can take care of my own world!
 * Vaike: Ha! All talk, no game. If you had the situation under control, what was that nonsense at the bridge?
 * Owain: Oh. Well, I was—
 * Vaike: Givin' up is what you were doin'. You listen to Teach... Takin' bold action is fine. So is lookin' out for your friends. But throwin' your life away? That's just plain chicken. Ba-BAWK!
 * Owain: Er...yes. So you saw everything?
 * Vaike: Every last second.
 * Owain: ...W-well, what about you? You threw your life away to save me, didn't you?
 * Vaike: You mean the other Vaike? Hmm, point taken. But so what! That's all the more reason for me to step in. Am I gonna let you make the same mistake as my other idiot self? Hell, no!
 * Owain: ......
 * Vaike: No son of mine is gonna bite the dust without a fight. In fact, I'm gonna personally guarantee it. You hear that, Owain? The Vaike's strength is yours, as long as you've got the stones to ask for it! Have you got the stones?! DO YOU WANT TO WIN? ...Or do you just wanna die in style?
 * Owain: ...... I want to win. ...No matter what it takes! Lend me your strength, Father! I'm not too proud to ask! Ylisse needs me, and I need you!
 * Vaike: Now THAT'S the Son of Vaike talkin'! Come on, Owain. Let's give these Risen scum a real Vaike-ache!
 * Owain: Thanks, Father! They'll be hurting for sure with you on my side!

Lon'qu

 * Lon'qu: Owain.
 * Owain: Ack! Father?! B-but...you're dead!
 * Lon'qu: I came from another world. Which means I'm not your father, but still—to me you are a son.
 * Owain: Uh... All right..?
 * Lon'qu: I saw what you did before. You showed true mettle and resolve. It takes a brave warrior to give his life so his comrades can finish the mission.
 * Owain: I just put myself in your shoes. I asked myself what you would do. Mother said you once risked your life to save her from brigands. And you gave your life to save me. Giving mine is the least I can do to honor your memory.
 * Lon'qu: The Lon'qu of this world is lucky to be so fondly remembered.
 * Owain: It's the son who was blessed.
 * Lon'qu: Thank you, Owain. But if you truly wish to honor your father, you mustn't give up your life so easily. If you want to keep your friends safe, then fight. Live to keep defending them. Look at what happened to your father. He died to save you. But he also lost his chance to ever save you again.
 * Owain: ......
 * Lon'qu: Promise you won't repeat his mistake.
 * Owain: ...All right. On my sword, I swear it.
 * Lon'qu: ...Good. Now get behind me, and watch these fools who would do you harm die on my sword.
 * Owain: No doubt they all would. But let me at least watch your back. I've always dreamed of protecting you in battle. Will you do your son that honor? I doubt I'll ever get another chance.
 * Lon'qu: Heh...All right. Show me what you can do.
 * Owain: Right!

Gaius

 * Owain: Do the raging valley winds play tricks on my eyes? Now I'm seeing phantoms of my father.
 * Gaius: I'm no phantom, Owain.
 * Owain: The howling of the wind, it...it even SOUNDS like my father... Has he come from the next world to claim me?
 * Gaius: Hey! Do I look like some kinda deathly messenger to you? I may have come from another world to save you, but not THAT one.
 * Owain: You mean you're...not a ghost? You're really here?!
 * Gaius: Yes! Can we get past the ghost thing already? And even if I was a ghost, I wouldn't be helping to drag you off to heaven.
 * Owain: Huh?
 * Gaius: I mean, what kind of father wants to watch his son bite the big one? Not me, that's for sure. I ought to club you one for trying to sacrifice yourself like that at the bridge. Brave or not, that was a cruel thing to make your old man watch.
 * Owain: But I was just trying to—
 * Gaius: You need to take better care of yourself, Owain. That look on your face back there gave me a real scare. I could see in your face that you were ready to...that I almost lost you.
 * Owain: All right... I'm sorry. I'll take better care of myself. I promise.
 * Gaius: Good. I came here to save you. That means you have to fight to stay in this, no matter how hard it gets. Don't make me say it again!
 * (Gaius leaves)
 * Owain: Huh? ...Father, wait! ...He's gone. ...... Well...thanks for the tough love. I think I needed that.

Donnel

 * Donnel: Owain? It's you, ain't it? Thank the stars you're alive!
 * Owain: F-Father?! Is that you?
 * Donne: Sure is. Except I'm not REALLY yer pa. I came here from another world.
 * Owain: ...Another world? I guess anything is possible...
 * Donnel: ......
 * Owain: What's the matter?
 * Donnel: I was just mullin' over what ya did back there, Owain.
 * Owain: You mean at the bridge? I know it was stupid. it was suicide. Go ahead and tell me off...
 * Donnel: Tell ya off? Now why would I ever do that?
 * Owain: Well, you look pretty upset...
 * Donnel: Now, I was just thinkin' it takes real stones to do what ya did.
 * Owain: ...Huh?
 * Donnel: I couldn't have done it myself. And my world's got its share of wars too. Even if I KNEW somethin' would do me in, I don't reckon I'd take the chance. Sayin' ya wanna save yer friends is one thing, but actually doin' it. That takes real gumption—especially in a nightmare world like this.
 * Owain: ...You really mean it?
 * Donnel: Sure do! Ya done good, Owain. In fact, I couldn't be prouder! I wish everybody back home could see ya right now. But you've struggled enough. Now it's yer pa's turn to fight and make sure ya get home to Ylisse. Ya still got plenty'a livin' to do!
 * Owain: Thanks, Father. I'll find even better ways to make you proud—you'll see! No matter where you go—even if we end up worlds apart... I want you to always know that you made me a better man.

W/ Inigo

 * Inigo: So that's the me of this world... I can't believe I cut down the bridge like that... I can see I'm playing it tough, but last time I checked, I'm not crazy. I wouldn't have pulled a stunt like that unless the situation had gotten truly dire. I had best lay low to avoid traumatizing myself any further. ...It's strange, though. I remember crossing this valley in my own future when I returned with the Gemstones. But there was no horde of Risen on our tail. And no one had to cut down the bridge—we stayed together the whole way. Not to mention this Inigo looks stronger than I... How did he get cornered? For all the similarities between our futures, I guess I can't take anything for granted. Even Grima could be stronger here than I remember... Well, whatever the case, I've got his back—my back—whatever. I made it through this valley, and so will he!

W/ Olivia

 * Olivia: Inigo!
 * Inigo: M-Mother?! No, that's impossible... My mother died before my eyes. I know what I saw.
 * Olivia: I'm not the Olivia you know. I've come from another world. Look at you. You've been through hell... And all this time you've held strong... I should have been there for you! I'm so sorry, Inigo... Please forgive me...
 * Inigo: Another world? No wonder you look so young. But what are you apologizing for?
 * Olivia: Because the me from this world... She shouldn't have left you alone! What kind of mother am I to abandon my son like that?
 * Inigo: That's not your fault. It's not even my real mother's fault. Please, don't fret...
 * Olivia: I can't help it! I just... Ahh... *sob*
 * Inigo: Heh. Stop it, Mother. A lovely lady like you should always wear a smile. Especially when your son hasn't seen you in so long!
 * Olivia: I'm sorry...
 * Inigo: I'm the one who ought to be bawling. Had to beat me to the punch, huh? ...Well, I'm still glad. Your tears give me the strength and courage to fight on.
 * Olivia: You won't have to fight alone. I'll be right by your side doing what the other Olivia couldn't!
 * Inigo: Thank you, Mother. But I don't want you to put yourself in danger. Stay where it's safe.
 * Olivia: What are you saying, Inigo? I came here to watch over you!
 * Inigo: You are watching over me. You know, I often practice fighting and dancing near your grave... And when I do, I always feel you there gently pushing me along.
 * Olivia: Inigo...
 * Inigo: Since your passing, I've gotten much stronger. Watch and see. If I know you're watching, not even a hundred Risen can stop me!
 * (Inigo leaves)
 * Olivia: Huh? Inigo, wait! ...Heh. He's really got his heart set on doing this alone. I know, son. You're scared of losing me again. But don't push me away. You might find out that I'm stronger than you remember too. No harm will befall you while your mother is here—I swear it!

Avatar (Male)

 * Avatar: Inigo! Thank goodness I made it!
 * Inigo: Father? ...Is it you?! You're alive! I thought I had lost you forever! ...And, gods, you look fantastic—like you're 10 years younger...
 * Avatar: I'm sorry to ruin the moment, Inigo, but I'm not from this world. I've come to help you, but I'm not the same as your father.
 * Inigo: Then he's really dead...
 * Avatar: I'm sorry to get your hopes up. Still, even if I'm not the father you knew, I intend to keep you safe.
 * Inigo: ......
 * Avatar: Inigo, are you all right? I know this must have come as a shock but—
 * Inigo: Father, what would you have done back at the bridge?
 * Avatar: Come again?
 * Inigo: At the bridge. How would you have handled that predicament? Would you have cut the bridge down? Would you force your way across? Or was there some other method I failed to even consider?
 * Avatar: Inigo, I hardly think it matters which—
 * Inigo: I just need to know. Did I make the best choice? You're in a better position to judge than anyone on this battlefield. ...Why are you laughing?
 * Avatar: Pfft... Heh heh... I just expected you to be all doom and gloom. And yet here you are pondering strategy. You ARE full of surprises. That's my son!
 * Inigo: Well, for your information, I've got plenty doom and gloom. My father is dead, for one! But a true tactician doesn't stop to lick his wounds. He figures things out.
 * Avatar: I couldn't agree more. Still, while an analytical eye is important, Inigo, let bygones be bygones. It's not the past you need to figure out. It's what you do next.
 * Inigo: Ah... True...
 * Avatar: Imagine this situation... You're cornered, you're outmanned... but you have to win the fight. A single warrior appears. After exchanging a few words, you think he might be trusted. Do you ask for his help or not?
 * Inigo: ...Heh. You've made your point, Father. Help me win this fight!
 * Avatar: I will, Inigo. I'm your new strategy. Now let's take out those Risen and make it a winning one. Agreed?
 * Inigo: Agreed. Thank you, Father!

Lon'qu

 * Lon'qu: ......
 * Inigo: Father? Is that you? But...how can you be here? You're dead... Oh no... You've come from the afterlife to collect me, haven't you? I'm finished.
 * Lon'qu: ...Finished, you say? If you're that ready to die, I won't bother with any speeches.
 * Inigo: Huh?
 * Lon'qu: Inigo... I sentence you to death here and now... Prepare to die.
 * Inigo: Ack! Wait!
 * Lon'qu: What's the matter? Come at me. I'll make it painless for you.
 * Inigo: But... I don't want to die...
 * Lon'qu: You don't? ...Then don't let me ever hear you say you're "finished." If the afterlife sends someone to collect you, you put that messenger in the ground.
 * Inigo: ...!
 * Lon'qu: The Lon'qu of this world is dead. His sword has been silenced, never to speak again... No prayers will bring him back to fight for this world or protect its people... But you can still do what he couldn't. Because you...are still alive. Don't you... don't you see...?
 * Inigo: Father... Are those tears in your eyes? It's not possible! Please, forgive me! My weakness has broken your spirit!
 * Lon'qu: No, Inigo. I weep for myself. I came all this way to find you...to save you... And yet instead I assail you with only the cruelest of words. Forgive me... I do not know how long I can remain in this world. But I wish to fight for you.
 * Inigo: I would be grateful. But please, promise you'll stay alive. Nothing frightens me more than losing you again because of me.
 * Lon'qu: Why is that frightening?
 * Inigo: Because you and Mother already died once to protect me! I feel as though everything I love in this world is ruined on my account.
 * Lon'qu: Is that how you feel? ...Hmm. You take after your father more than you realize. Your grief may even be greater. But we differ in at least one important way. You never let your grief turn you cold. Even in despair, you remain kind. Nothing could ever be ruined on your account, because you only bring people joy. I promise you I won't die today. I'm not the same man as your father
 * Inigo: You mean it?
 * Lon'qu: Lying is not my way... Winning is.
 * Inigo: All right, Father. Let's win, then. Thank you. As long as I still breathe, I'll keep fighting—to honor the father I lost.

Donnel

 * Donnel: That must be the Inigo of this world. That's my boy—look at him go! But I'll probably scare the tar out of him if I just march up and say hi... And that's if he even recognizes me... I reckon I look younger than he does!
 * (Inigo enters)
 * Inigo: Father?! What are you doing here?
 * Donnel: Inigo?! How'd ya know I'm your pa?
 * Inigo: Uh, can anyone else fight that well with a pot on his head? But I thought you were dead!
 * Donnel: Oh, uh, well... Hold on to yer britches, 'cause you're not gonna believe this. I done came here from another world to save ya from yer doom!
 * Inigo: Another world? No wonder you look so young... Without the pot on your head, I never would have recognized you.
 * Donnel: Er, yeah. I think you've made yer point.
 * Inigo: Father, there's something I've always wanted to tell you.
 * Donnel: Oh yeah? Hit me!
 * Inigo: You know the ballad of the swan princess and her black swan prince?
 * Donnel: Of course! Olivia used to dance it somethin' fierce!
 * Inigo: That's right. You would sing, and Mother would dance along. I remember the song well from when I was a little boy. You two were so in love. You used to say that the song was about you... That no matter what tragedy struck, you'd always be together.
 * Donnel: Gosh, ya remember all that? It's kinda embarassin'...
 * Inigo: I just wanted to say... I'm sorry.
 * Donnel: Huh? What the heck for?
 * Inigo: You both died to keep me safe. I was the tragedy that finally tore you two apart. I just... I need you to forgive me...
 * Donnel: Now, Inigo...
 * Inigo: I know it's too much to ask. I must sound like an utter fool. You're not even my real father...
 * Donnel: Do I get to talk now? 'Cause you didn't tear me and yer ma apart.
 * Inigo: ...I didn't?
 * Donnel: Heck no! If anythin', yer the glue that proves how inseparable we are! What better way to show our live than to leave a remarkable son behind? Long as you take good care of yerself, we'll live dang near forever!
 * Inigo: Really? *sniff* You m-mean it, Father? Thank you... Oh, thank you! *sob*
 * Donnel: Sorry me and Olivia left ya here by your lonesome. It's our fault you been blaming yerself this whole time. But everything's gonna get better now. I can promise ya that. I'm gonna protect ya so ya can bring peace to this world. Then ya won't ever have to be sad again—not you or nobody!

Gaius

 * Gaius: Wait! Inigo, is that you?
 * Inigo: Father?! I thought you were dead!
 * Gaius: Nah, I'm not your real father, kid. I came from another world.
 * Inigo: But you ARE my father there, right? I'm so happy to see you. ......
 * Gaius: What's wrong? Are you hurt?
 * Inigo: No, no. It's just...seeing you like this has thrown me for a loop. I was ready to make my last stand, but this changes everything.
 * Gaius: Yeah, nice stunt by the bridge, by the way.
 * Inigo: You saw all that?
 * Gaius: Look, I think it's pretty sweet that you put your friends first. But as your father, I want you to put YOU first. I didn't cross between worlds just to get a front-row seat at your "last stand."
 * Inigo: ...I'm sorry.
 * Gaius: It's all right. I should've gotten here sooner. Then you wouldn't be in this position. I'm sorry, Inigo. I blew it.
 * Inigo: Why are you apologizing? Like I said, I'm happy just to see my father again. You have...n-no idea...
 * Gaius: Hey! You all right?
 * Inigo: Ugh, and now I'm getting all blurry eyed. I know you're not even him, really. But I was so young when you—
 * Gaius: Shh... Hey, I understand. You've been through a lot.
 * Inigo: *Sniff* Oh, gods... Now I'm really getting w-worked up... *sniff* I don't know if I can fight like this... Ahh... *sob*
 * Gaius: ...... ...Here.
 * Inigo: Is this...c-candy? But why?
 * Gaius: I dunno. Usually babies cry when you take candy from them. I figured I'd try the opposite.
 * Inigo: ...Heh. *sniff* This is the same kind you used to give me when I was little. It made me stop crying every time. You may not be the exact same person, but...you're still definitely my father. Oh, Father... I've missed you. *sob*
 * Gaius: Hey. That candy was supposed to make you STOP crying. Yeesh... Well, may as well let it all out. 'Cause once you're done, we're gonna litter the valley with these Risen. No one's gonna touch MY son.

W/ Brady

 * Brady: Oh, crap! That's me! ...The other me! I didn't realize I'd wandered so close... What the hell am I supposed to say to myself? Oh! I could tell him that he'll get the Gemstones safely back to Ylisstol. After all, I did. ...Wait, no. Bad idea. I can already tell the situation here is way worse than what I dealt with. There weren't half as many Risen here, and me and my friends didn't get split up. I don't want him to let his guard down... Naga wasn't kidding. This world is messed up beyond belief. Maybe it really is doomed... Aw, the hell with that. I'll undoom it! What am I here for? Just watch, other Brady! I'm gonna get you home safe and sound.

W/ Maribelle

 * Maribelle: Brady? Is that you, darling?
 * Brady: ...M-Ma? No way!
 * Maribelle: No, young man. I am not YOUR mother, strictly speaking. I've come from another world to lend you my considerable assistance.
 * Brady: Another world? Um...right. ......
 * (Brady leaves)
 * Maribelle: Wh-what?! Where are you going? Stop running, young man!
 * (Brady reappears)
 * Brady: Ow! Let go of my ear! What do you care if I haul it out of here? You're probably s-some enemy ruse!
 * Maribelle: I most certainly am not! If I were some artifice of the enemy, then you would already be dead. I or someone else would have struck you down the moment you hesitated.
 * Brady: Well...yeah, but...
 * Maribelle: But nothing! Stand up straight! Did I raise you to run for the hills at the sight of your own mother's face?
 * Brady: You didn't raise me, period! Ugh, I give up. So what do you want, Ma?
 * Maribelle: At last, some respect! Naturally, I have come to make sure my son in this world carries himself with dignity.
 * Brady: ...... BAWWW! *sniff* *sob*
 * Maribelle: Brady, whatever has come over you? You usually cry after my lectures, not before them...
 * Brady: I just can't look at you a second... *sniff* longer... I never thought I'd see you again, Ma! *sob*
 * Maribelle: So that's it. It was not a ruse you feared. It was that I might see you shed tears.
 * Brady: Shaddap! I was only... Rrgh... Gods! All right! So WHAT if I didn't want to look stupid in front of ya?
 * Maribelle: My dear, sweet child. You have your silly moments, I'll admit. But stupid? Far from it. You helped your friends by keeping the Gemstones safe. I think it was dashing. And if people daresay otherwise, I shall have to reprimand them...with my boot!
 * Brady: ...Pfft! That's not exactly genteel, Ma.
 * Maribelle: Of course it's genteel. It just won't be GENTLE.

Avatar (Male)

 * Avatar: Brady? Brady, it is you! I'm so glad you're all right!
 * Brady: Pop?! What are you doing here? I thought you were dead! You never came home. Did someone capture you?
 * Avatar: No... You don't understand. I'm not really from this world. And I'm not really your father. I can only stay here for a short while...
 * Brady: What? You're not him? Then...my old man must be...
 * Avatar: I'm sorry, Brady. I didn't mean to build up false hope. But even if I'm not your real father, you're still like a son to me. Let me fight alongside you for as long as I can!
 * Brady: You'd do that for me? Thanks, Pop... But I sure wish you didn't have to see me like this.
 * Avatar: Like what?
 * Brady: I did something terrible. Real bad. I abandoned my friends... They helped me get away, and I can't even go back and save them... I don't know how to fight. I'm sure I'm nothing like you wanted me to turn out...
 * Avatar: Brady, that's not true at all.
 * Brady: It ain't?
 * Avatar: Of course not. You're a remarkable son. And besides, if you'd tried to go back and save them, you would have been killed. Then the Gemstones would have fallen into enemy hands. I'm proud of you for staying calm and making the right choice. You kept your emotions at bay and did what your friends wanted. That took guts.
 * Brady: Really? *sniff*
 * Avatar: You're exactly what I wanted in a son. A quick thinker who gets the job done. A true strategist, like his father.
 * Brady: You m-mean it? *sob*
 * Avatar: You'll start feeling better once you complete your mission here. And you'll have my help every step of the way!
 * Brady: Thanks, Pop. Ylisse needs me, and I won't let her down. WE won't!
 * Avatar: That's right!

Lon'qu

 * Lon'qu: Brady.
 * Brady: Who's there? Come on out, you fiend!
 * Lon'qu: It's me. Your father, Lon'qu. I've come from another world to lend you my strength.
 * Brady: Huh? Is that really you, Pop? Hmph... Seems a little hard to swallow. How do I know you're not tryin' to dupe me out of the Gemstones?
 * Lon'qu: I thought you might say that. I probably wouldn't believe me either, considering the circumstances.
 * Brady: Yeah? Good. Then take a hike. I don't buy any of your hogwash.
 * Lon'qu: Before you write me off...take a look at this.
 * Brady: What's this—a ring?
 * Lon'qu: Yes. The same one your mother left you when she passed away.
 * Brady: You're right... It's the same. ...... Ma was real impressed at how you picked out the ring all on your own.
 * Lon'qu: Huh? But I didn't. Maribelle and I went and bought it together. That was the first day I worked up the courage to hold her hand...
 * Brady: Ding ding! Correct! So you really are my old man...
 * Lon'qu: I see... You were testing me.
 * Brady: Yep. Sorry about that. It's good to see ya again, Pop. Even if you're not the same man.
 * Lon'qu: You're just like your mother. Always a step ahead of me.
 * Brady: Well, don't sell yourself short. I'm your son too, after all. Even though I didn't exactly inherit your prowess in battle. Now my friends are trapped across the ravine and I can't do a damn thing about it. Sorry to disappoint...
 * Lon'qu: I'm not disappointed. You don't need a sword to be a strong fighter. Delivering the Gemstones to Ylisse will win more battles than any blade.
 * Brady: I guess...
 * Lon'qu: This world has tempered you and made you tougher than I'll ever be. But still I've come this far, and I intend to help. So go, Brady. I'll strike down any enemies in your path!
 * Brady: Right... Thanks, Pop!

Ricken

 * Ricken: Brady! Oh, whew. I'm so glad I managed to catch up.
 * Brady: Who the hell are you, kid?
 * Ricken: It's me, Ricken. Your father?
 * Brady: Uh, are you crazy in the head or something? My old man's dead. And anyway, he wasn't some pipsqueak like you.
 * Ricken: Heh heh... I thought you might say that... So I brought a little leverage to help my case. ...Ta-da! Feast your eyes on these tea leaves! Look familiar?
 * Brady: Yes! ...... Okay, no.
 * Ricken: This is the tea Maribelle and I drink every single day! Come on, look closer! I'm sure you've seen it a million times.
 * Brady: I'm sure I have, but I don't know jack squat about tea leaves just by looking. ...Here, kid. let me have a whiff.
 * Ricken: Ah, right! Of course! You might recognize the smell. ...Well? Well, well, well?
 * Brady: *Sniiiiiiff* ...Yep. You win. You're my pop, all right.
 * Ricken: You believe me?
 * Brady: Uh-huh. You don't really look like how I remember him, to be honest. But only my old man would be this eager to make me sniff tea leaves.
 * Ricken: Ha ha! That's a relief.
 * Brady: So what exactly are you doing here in junior form?
 * Ricken: I came from another world to help you. I saw how you got split up from your friends before... I know this must be so hard for you... But I'm here to fight by your side!
 * Brady: Well, thanks. But I'd rather you help them, not me. I had to leave them on the other side of the ravine... I hope they're all right.
 * Ricken: Are you sure? But then who's going to keep you safe?
 * Brady: I can take care of myself. I have a way of slipping right under the enemy's nose. ...Musta got that from you. Ma told me about the time you snuck behind enemy lines to rescue her.
 * Ricken Ha ha! She did? Well, still, Brady. The stakes are higher this time. You have the Gemstones. You have to stay alive no matter what. Do it for your father.
 * Brady: All right. But you be careful too, okay?

Gaius

 * Gaius: Brady? Is that you?
 * Brady: Pop?! How in the hell...
 * Gaius: Sorry. Wrong Gaius. I'm here from another world. The divine dragon Naga sent me to help you.
 * Brady: She what? ...Hang on, I thought you were a thief. What kind of thief takes a job like this? Did she offer you money? Jewels? Pancakes? It must've been something good.
 * Gaius: Nope. No reward.
 * Brady: You're workin' for FREE? What kind of cheapskate goddess is she?
 * Gaius: What does it matter to you?
 * Brady: Well, actually, I wanted to find out your price so I could buy your services.
 * Gaius: What? I'm your father! You don't really think I'd charge you?
 * Brady: Huh? You just got finished sayin' you AIN'T my father. Look, just take your damned money or cookies or whatever and hear me out!
 * Gaius: Heh. I see not even hard times have softened up that hard head of yours. You remind me of your mother....Well, I can't work for you because YOU are gonna do a job for me.
 * Brady: Oh yeah? And what's that?
 * Gaius: You're gonna make it home to Ylisstol in one piece.
 * Brady: Pah! Who are you kiddin'? I don't need you to ask me to do that. I can do it myself!
 * Gaius: Aren't you gonna wait and see what the payment is? Do the job for me, and I'll go rescue your friends across the ravine.
 * Brady: Wha...But that's what...
 * Gaius: What you were going to pay ME for. You think I don't know you? Let's just hope they're in one piece. Well—two separate pieces. One piece would be awkward...If they are alive, I'll make sure they join you in Ylisstol soon.
 * Brady: You better not be trickin' me.
 * Gaius: Hey, let's not be mixing up thieves and liars here, huh?
 * Brady: ...All right. You got yourself a deal.
 * Gaius: Good. Now get moving. No son of mine is gonna slip up here....You make sure you get home safe.
 * Brady: I will....You watch yourself too, Pop. Yeah. I know it's you, even if you say it ain't.
 * Gaius: Don't you worry about me. I break locks, not promises.

W/ Yarne

 * Yarne: So that's me in this world... I'm surprised I haven't died off by now. ...What are the odds? Maybe I should go give myself a pat on the back. ...Huh? But wait a second. What if he's so scared to see himself that he drops dead from the shock? Th-that would be a disaster! I can't do that to myself! Not after Other Me has made it this far! I'll just watch from a distance. ...... Hang in there, Yarne. You stay alive. I know you'll make this world so peaceful, you'll never be afraid of dying out again!
 * Yarne (NPC): ...... You too, Yarne.

W/ Panne

 * Yarne: M-Mother? ...Is that really you?
 * Panne: It pleases me to see you safe, Yarne.
 * Yarne: Oh! Mother! It's a miracle! You're back from the dead! ...Y-you're not a Risen, are you?
 * Panne: Well, I may have red eyes...but no. I am not a Risen.
 * Yarne: You mean it? Then you really are alive! This is wonderful! I thought I was the last taguel, and I was so, so scared...
 * Panne: Poor Yarne... Your world has been so cruel to you. But I am so proud of you for keeping our race alive.
 * Yarne: Wait... What do you mean, "your world"?
 * Panne: I'm sorry, Yarne. I'm not really your mother. I should have told you sooner. I've come from another world to help for as long as I can.
 * Yarne: You mean you're going to leave? But I just got you back!
 * Panne: Naga's power here is limited. My task is to ensure you and the Gemstones reach Ylisse. Then I must go.
 * Yarne: No! No, no, I want you to stay! I don't want to be the last taguel anymore! *sniff*
 * Panne: I truly am sorry, Yarne. I know your loneliness all too well. I never meant for you to share it... But know that I will always love you, even when we are worlds apart! I will never stop praying for your safety and happiness. Please, do not cry. You will break your mother's heart...
 * Yarne: *Sniff* All right... I won't cry anymore, Mother. I know I'm too old to be falling apart like this.
 * Panne: Good boy...
 * Yarne: I had better go. If we have to say good-bye, I'd rather make it quick. But thank you for coming to help me. I'll be thinking of you too. Just hearing your voice gives me hope. And...now I know I'm not alone. There are worlds where my mother is alive! Maybe even lots of worlds! Which means...the taguel still have a fighting chance! Yippee!
 * (Yarne leaves)
 * Panne: Huh? Yarne, where are you— *sigh* Silly boy... He said he was done crying, but I could still hear the quiver in his voice. Well, never fear. Your mother has not left you yet. I will keep you safe and help you find the peaceful future you deserve.

Avatar (Male)

 * Avatar: ...Yarne? It's you, isn't it?
 * Yarne: Father? Y-you're alive!
 * Avatar: I wish I was your real father, Yarne. But I come from another world. I crossed the borders of space and time to help you escape. Now go! I'll hold them off!
 * Yarne: No... That's all right.
 * Avatar: Huh?
 * Yarne: You saw how many Risen there were. This world is done for... Finished. Don't throw your life away with ours.
 * Avatar: Hey!
 * Yarne: We've already lost. I left my friends back there to die... It's over. I'm the worst...
 * Avatar: No, you're not!
 * Yarne: Hm?
 * Avatar: I'm not blind. I saw what really happened. You didn't want to abandon your friends. You had to force yourself away. You decided to honor their wishes in the end.
 * Yarne: I still left them to die.
 * Avatar: Well, maybe you need to have a little more faith in them!
 * Yarne: I wish I could, but I'm not stupid.
 * Avatar: Then suppose you're right, and they don't make it. Don't you owe it to them to finish your mission and honor what they did? Don't you owe it to your parents?
 * Yarne: Rrgh...
 * Avatar: Your survival could be what pulls this world back from the brink of chaos. Are you going to try? Or are you going to waste what time you have left feeling bad for everyone?
 * Yarne: *Sniff* I'm s-sorry, Father. You're right... I had all but given up... But not anymore. I won't let their sacrifices be in vain. Please... Will you help me finish what we started?
 * Avatar: Of course!

Stahl

 * Stahl: Yarne! You're alive!
 * Yarne: Wh-what? Father?! But I thought you were dead!
 * Stahl: I'm not the Stahl you know. I came from another world.
 * Yarne: Wha...? Why would you do that?
 * Stahl: To save you, of course!
 * Yarne: You're here to help? Then don't save me. You have to rescue my friends! They're stranded on the other bank...
 * Stahl: I know. I saw. It must have been hard to leave them behind. That took courage.
 * Yarne: I didn't want to do it, but I had to honor their wishes. I had to! *Sniff* What would you have done? I'm scared I made a mistake...
 * Stahl: You didn't, Yarne. Trust me. I know how it feels to make a tough call and be left to wonder if there was another way. But you can't get hung up on things like that. You need to keep moving forward.
 * Yarne: How can I?
 * Stahl: Listen—life lays a lot of choices before us, and sometimes they're all bad. You have to be able to pick the least of those evils and live with it. I know I have. But if you stop to question it, you'll never get to the next choice. You'll never get anywhere. Understand?
 * Yarne: ......
 * Stahl: You know what you need to do now, right?
 * Yarne: Yes... Deliver the Gemstones. I don't know why I was so clouded... I have to hurry up and finish my mission!
 * Stahl: Good. And I'm going to help you. You ready?
 * Yarne: I am now. Thanks, Father!

Lon'qu

 * Yarne: F-Father?! Is that you? It can't be...
 * Lon'qu Yarne.
 * Yarne: This isn't possible. Please tell me you're not some Risen... I d-don't think I could fight an enemy with my own father's face...
 * Lon'qu Relax. I am no Risen. Nor am I your real father.
 * Yarne: What?
 * Lon'qu: I come from another world—an Outrealm separate from this one.
 * Yarne: I...I see. Then you're here to rescue me?
 * Lon'qu: No. You know me better than that.
 * Yarne: What do you mean?
 * Lon'qu: I mean my son needs no rescuing. You may be the last of the taguel, but that's also because you are the strongest.
 * Yarne: ...I am?
 * Lon'qu: Yes. Today you need a comrade to guide you through the danger. Not a father to pull you out of it. Whatever enemies I destroy will be to hasten your victory, not hand it to you.
 * Yarne: ......
 * Lon'qu: I believe in you. Today my strong son is going to come through for his friends.
 * Yarne: You're right. I have to get back to Ylisstol. I have to deliver the Gemstones no matter what the cost! The whole world is counting on me.
 * Lon'qu: That's right. Now go. Any Risen who stands in your way will have to face my blade.
 * Yarne: Thank you, Father!

Owain
"Mother... Father... Forgive me... I couldn't keep Ylisse...safe..."

- Owain's death quote.

"...I can't believe it. We won. If those strangers hadn't arrived, I'd be dead, and Inigo with me. I almost cost him his life playing out my little fantasy... Mother, Father, if you're watching over me from above—thank you. That was some message you sent. I know I'll never see the real you again, but it still felt...nice. It was like I got to talk to you again...and fight by your side. Funny... Not even I could have dreamed up a scenario like this! But seeing you there in the flesh gave me strength like no make-believe ever could. From now on, I promise to take better care of the life you gave me."

- Owain's post-battle quote.

Inigo
"Sorry... I don't think I can go on... Everyone...promise you'll keep...smiling..."

- Inigo's death quote.

Brady
"...Looks like I managed to ditch the Risen. Now to get these Gemstones to Ylisse!"

- Brady's retreat quote.

"Have to...keep going... Gemstones...to Ylisse..."

- Brady's death quote.

"...Are we done? These two nitwits better not have croaked on me... I swear I'll beat the crap out of them if they did. ...Naw, I gotta stay positive. My ma and pa came for me...sort of. Somebody must've come for them too. ...Heh. I still can't wrap my head around it. They looked just like my folks! We were so busy fightin', we didn't get to chat much, but still... Ain't that somethin'. Wonder what my real folks made of it from way up there... ...Well, if you're listenin', Ma and Pa—sorry we have to postpone the family reunion. I ain't ready to kick the bucket just yet. But when I do finally join you up there... I promise I'll have plenty of good stories about the future I helped save."

- Brady's post-battle quote.

Yarne
"Owain, Inigo... Stay safe. I'll be waiting for you in Ylisstol."

- Yarne's retreat quote.

"I don't care if I die out... But please...not the others..."

- Yarne's death quote.

"A-are those horrible Risen gone? Oh, finally... Good thing my running legs are still up to snuff... Heh. I guess I really owe it to those warriors who came to the rescue. It's like Mother and Father sent shadows of themselves to watch over me... But that's typical, I guess. The only reason I'm still around is because people keep looking after me. I've gotta change. I need to start being the one to look after them. Otherwise, I may as well be extinct. ...Oh, that reminds me! Owain! Inigo! Did they make it? Let's see... ...... ...! Hey, that's them! I can hear their voices! Oh, thank the gods! Now that we're all here, it's time to start the journey home!"

- Yarne's post-battle quote.

Morgan
"Master Grima, I'll never betray you. I'll stay by your side no matter what form you take. I swear that all who stand against you shall fall by my hand!"

- Enemy Morgan's pre-battle quote.

"Forgive me...master... I promise...to study harder... Please...teach me...new tactics..."

- Enemy Morgan's death quote.

"Is that...Master Grima? No, it can't be. It has been ages since my master took that form... Could she be some emissary of Naga's sent from another world? That damned dragon has no right meddling with my heart... But it is too late. I cannot knowingly fight her. Forgive me, Master Grima. I must withdraw..."

- Enemy Morgan's retreat quote if the female Avatar stands beside her.

Conversation W/ Avatar (Male)
(Note: To trigger this conversation, Morgan must be recruited in the army and the Male Avatar must end his turn next to her.)
 * Morgan: Ahh! Master Grima!
 * Avatar: Huh?
 * Morgan: What are you doing out here? Please, return to the Table! It's too dangerous!
 * Avatar: What are you talking about?
 * Morgan: Huh? Wait... You're not Master Grima?
 * Avatar: I think you have the wrong person. I'm not even from this world. I only just arrived to lend the Ylisseans what help I can.
 * Morgan: You're from another world? Then that makes you... No. This is dreadful news. I must alert my master that reinforcements have arrived... But...
 * Avatar: You seem troubled.
 * Morgan: That's not your concern! Why did you tell me you're in league with the Ylisseans? Not a sound strategy, is it? What if I'm with the enemy? I could report your arrival and summon more Risen.
 * Avatar: I suppose. The hood does make you look a bit shady. But something in my gut tells me you're no enemy of mine.
 * Morgan: A tactician ought to base his judgments on more than a gut feeling.
 * Avatar: Oh? And how did you know I was a tactician?
 * Morgan: I have my ways.
 * Avatar: You know me. Or at least you know me in this world. And based on your concern before, I can only surmise I'm someone you care about. ...Isn't that right?
 * Morgan: So what if you are? You won't get me to talk, no matter how you torture me. I know where my allegiance lies. I trust that your...that his path is the correct one.
 * Avatar: I don't know what the other me in this world is up to, but I'll tell you one thing. He's lucky to have you.
 * Morgan: I...I said that's none of your concern!
 * Avatar: You're right. I overstepped my boundaries. Here. Let me give you this as my way of apologizing.
 * Morgan: What is it?
 * Avatar: One of my favorite books. It details my basic battle strategies. Perhaps it might benefit one so obviously fond of tacticians.
 * Morgan: But isn't this special to you? And more importantly, aren't you worried we'll use this against you? I could end your little crusade right here and now!
 * Avatar: You could. But you won't.
 * Morgan: What makes you so sure?!
 * Avatar: You remind me of someone too. Someone very special to me. Again, it's a gut feeling, but I do not believe you wish me harm.
 * Morgan: ......
 * Avatar: Time is running short, and I need to go. But I'm glad we got this chance to talk.
 * (Avatar leaves)
 * Morgan: Huh? Wait, where are you... ...... I already have this book. You gave it to me long ago. The notes and dog-ears are all exactly the same. ...I can't do it. I can't keep fighting. Up until now, my faith was unshakable. I was ready to kill my own friends... But I cannot strike down the kind and gentle father I once knew... Forgive me, Master Grima. I must withdraw... I remain your servant and am ready to accept any punishment you see fit.
 * (Morgan leaves)

Ylisse Outskirts

 * Yarne: You're alive! You made it! ...Can I pinch you? Are you really real?
 * Inigo: Ow! Ha ha... Yes, we're real! We're glad you're safe too.
 * Brady: You two nutjobs have a lot of explaining to do. Sure, some mystery army may have come along and saved your bacon...but don't think I forgot how we got separated in the first place!
 * Inigo: Sorry, Brady... You too, Yarne. We didn't mean to worry you. At least we'll make it home now. We're lucky the help came when it did.
 * Owain: Speaking of which—where did they go?
 * Brady: Hmph. They vanished before we could even thank 'em.
 * Owain: Wow... Now that's how you do it. Shadowy saviors, come to free us in the hour of our destruction... My sword hand twitches just thinking about it!
 * Brady: I'll twitch your flippin' sword hand! If you hadn't stayed behind as a decoy, none of this would've even... Ahhhhh! *sob*
 * Owain: B-Brady?! Are you crying?
 * Brady: Shut up! I earned a good cry! Don't you know how worried I was? You coulda died out there! Don't you GET it?! *sniff*
 * Owain: I...I get it, Brady... I'm sorry. I won't ever use myself as a decoy again. I promise.
 * Yarne: You better not! If you ever break your promise, I'll... I'll steal your Manual of Justice! And then I'll read your stupid "Catalog of Ultimate Techniques" in front of everybody!
 * Owain: You wouldn't DARE! ...Wait, how do you even KNOW about my Manual of Justice?! ...Oh no.
 * Inigo: ......
 * Owain: It was you! How could you divulge my most eldritch arcana to this...this endangered species!
 * Inigo: What can I say? Some things are just too precious to keep secret.
 * Owain: ...Urrrgh.
 * Yarne: Well, come on, Owain... Let's be fair. You showed me Inigo's dance routines and Brady's violin compositions first.
 * Inigo: He...WHAT?!
 * Brady: Yarne, you had better be pullin' my chain!
 * Owain: Yarne, you big mouth! You want me to tell them about your morning antiextinction exercises?
 * Yarne: Eek! P-please don't! ...I'll die of shame!
 * Owain: ......
 * Yarne: ......
 * Owain: ...Pfft! Ha ha ha ha! Aha ha... What is WRONG with us?
 * Yarne: Yeah. The world's about to end—good thing we've got our priorities straight.
 * Inigo: Still, I'm glad. I can't remember the last time I've laughed so hard... We need to mess with each other like this more often.
 * Brady: Yeah. Guess we had other stuff on our minds, though, huh? Let's finish our job here, and then once the world is peaceful again... I'm gonna give you guys hell like you'd never believe. Ha!
 * Inigo: Oh, I beliieve. Heh heh...
 * Brady: Hey, it's a good goal to shoot for, right?
 * Inigo: Yeah, it is. Well, we should be heading back to Ylisse. We've lost time here, and Lucina still needs us. We're almost to the border now!
 * Brady: All right, let's get those legs in gear.
 * Yarne: Really?! Are we really almost home? Oh, I'm so happy I could die... But I won't! Because I'm going home! Yippee!
 * Owain: ...... Heh. I was ready to give up back there...but I'm glad I didn't. It turns out I like being around my friends even more than I thought. And I might not have realized it without those visitors from another world... We may never meet again, but tonight's miracle will stay with me forever.

Outrealm Gate

 * Naga: Well done, Outrealm Warriors. Those children have eluded a terrible end because of your efforts. I am certain now they will make it safely home to Ylisse with Gemstones in hand.
 * Chrom: That's encouraging to hear.
 * Naga: Know this, Chrom of Ylisse: hopes for their future still hang by a thread. Argent and Sable count for but two of the Gemstones. The others, and the Fire Emblem itself, must also reach the princess. Otherwise, the children's struggles will be for naught.
 * Chrom: Just tell me what to do.
 * Naga: Thank you. I knew I could rely on you. When I must again call upon you to protect that world from the encroaching darkness... I know you will not fail.

Ylisstol

 * Tiki: ......
 * Lucina: Damn you! You'll pay for harming Lady Tiki!
 * (Grima exits)
 * Lucina: Huh?! He/She vanished!
 * Tiki: Lucina...
 * Lucina: Ah! Lady Tiki! Stay still... Why did you have to do that? The blow was meant for me... I'll go find a cleric. Just promise me you'll hold on...
 * Tiki: It's all right, Lucina. I'm...finished... You only have a few staves and vulneraries left... Don't waste them on me... Other people will need them more...
 * Lucina: Don't talk like that!
 * Tiki: Heh... So this is what it's like. I've watched all my friends leave me one by one... But this is the first time I've had to leave someone else behind... I just wish...I could have chosen the time myself...
 * Lucina: Stop it... Stop it, stop it, STOP IT! You can't die, Lady Tiki. Not you! I've already lost Mother and Father... You're all I have. And without the divine dragon's Voice, what will keep Ylisse fighting? You're our last hope. Please don't go. Please don't leave us now...
 * Tiki: You're wrong, Lucina. Ylisse still has its last hope. It has you and the other children... Once they return with the Gemstones and the Fire Emblem...perform the Awakening...and bring light to this darkened world...
 * Lucina: I will. I promise, but...but...where are they?! I cannot help but fear the worst. They might never return! I may never see any of them again! Their promises to return are empty...just like my father's turned out to be...
 * Tiki: You must have faith, Lucina... They deserve that much... I can see them now...fighting...to bring the Gemstones here... I believe...mankind...has hope...
 * Lucina: Lady Tiki?
 * Tiki: You must...fight destiny...and...the future... Bring us...the true peace...that...the Hero...King...strived...for... ...... ......
 * Lucina: Lady Tiki? Oh, gods, no! Lady Tiki, please! Please, don't leave... Gods, NOOOOOOOOO!!!
