The Future Past 3/Script

Outrealm Gate

 * Naga: Well met, Outrealm warriors.
 * Chrom: Naga. So this must be about that alternate future again...
 * Naga: Indeed. Thanks to you, the eight children you assisted managed to reach Ylisstol. Meanwhile, three more took the Emblem and the final Gemstone to the princess. But their time, too, grows short. They and the princess are soon fated to die at the fell dragon's hands. If the princess is lost, nothing can save their world from its demise. Please... You must intervene before it is too late.
 * Chrom: Don't worry. We'll save them all.
 * Naga: Thank you. Then I will 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.
 * Chrom: I understand.
 * Naga: This will likely be your final battle in their world. Now that my Voice there has been silenced, I cannot bind your worlds together for long. Still, I believe you will find the faint light of hope sleeping within the fell dragon. I believe that you will work a miracle greater than any despair he can sow. Now go, warriors. Let destiny once again be reshaped by your hands!

Before Battle Starts

 * Lucina: I'm so glad you're all safe!
 * Severa: It's good to see you too. Here you go—one Gemstone, and one Fire Emblem! I hope you're happy. These were NOT easy to get.
 * Laurent: Severa, would it hurt you to just hand them over without being condescending?
 * Severa: I can hand them over any way I like! You're the one being obnoxious.
 * Lucina: Heh. You haven't changed a bit. That comes as a relief. I cannot thank you enough for retrieving these.
 * Gerome: Keep them close. We need to be ready to start the rite the moment we have all the gemstones.
 * Lucina: I know.
 * Severa: How are things here in Ylisstol? Are the people safe?
 * Lucina: Well, we've managed to keep casualties to a minimum, but... ......
 * Severa: What's wrong, Lucina?
 * Lucina: I...I'm so sorry... I failed her. I failed Lady Tiki...
 * Severa: What?!
 * Gerome: Has something happened to the Voice?
 * Lucina: The enemy snuck into the castle. Lady Tiki took a blow for me and fell... It's my fault... I should have been paying closer attention...
 * Laurent: You're not to blame, Lucina. We should all be grateful you survived.
 * Severa: Poor Lucina... I'm sorry we weren't here for you.
 * Lucina: It's all right. I need to pull myself together... Lady Tiki said we must have faith. Those were her last words—to believe that mankind still had hope. She said to believe that you would all come back. And now three of you stand here before me. The others are safe too. I just know it.
 * Gerome: I believe it too. Once they have returned safely, we'll need to depart for Mount Prism at once. There you can perform the Awakening.
 * Laurent: No doubt the mount is already teeming with Risen. If we come to blows, run to the altar as fast as you can. We'll hold off the Risen.
 * Severa: Let's see how those dastards like it once the Awakening is complete. We'll destroy them and Grima alike and restore peace to the world!
 * Lucina: Thank you... All of you.
 * (Grima appears)
 * Grima: ...Doesn't that sound like a darling little scheme?
 * Lucina: Who are you?!
 * Grima: I am the wings of despair and the breath of ruin. I am the fell dragon, Grima. How good to see you again, child of Naga. When was it again we last met? Ah yes. I believe it was when I butchered the divine dragon's Voice.
 * Lucina: That was you?
 * Grima: Indeed. I was hoping to end your life, but I rid myself of a pest all the same. Soon I will send this world into its final death throes. But energy has been drawn away from the Dragon's Table since your little...theft. Even incomplete, that Gemstone and Emblem possess considerable power. I am afraid I must take them back now.
 * Lucina: You can try.
 * Grima: Or you could just give them back to me. They're worthless to you. It's not like you'll be seeing the other Gemstones anytime soon.
 * Gerome: I hope you're not implying our friends are dead.
 * Grima: I do not "imply." I have sent the strongest of my Grimleal to dispatch your comrades. They are almost certainly dead by now.
 * Gerome: "Almost certainly" doesn't sound very certain to me. Perhaps it's the corpse of your little servant you should be concerned about.
 * Severa: Yeah. Our friends are no wimps! They've outwitted death more times than you can imagine. You think you can scare us with baby threats like that?
 * Laurent: If they were dead, you would have proof. You don't. Ergo, they are not dead. Really, your bluffing begs for practice.
 * Grima: ...... Then you refuse to return what you have taken?
 * Lucina: We refuse.
 * Grima: Very well. I was hoping not to have to flex any...muscle... GRRRAGH!
 * Lucina: Eeeyaaargh! Nngh... *huff, huff* Is...is everyone all right?
 * Grima: With the next blow, I will kill you. The Gemstone and the Emblem. NOW.
 * Lucina: Never!
 * Grima: Still you resist me? Very well. Die, if you wish.
 * Severa: Nngh... You'll have to go through ME!
 * Lucina: Severa, what are you—?
 * Grima: What stupidity is this?
 * Severa: Lucina, I'll stop her attacks...even if it kills me. Now RUN! While you've still got the chance!
 * Lucina: No! Severa, I can't...
 * Severa: You have to, you idiot! If you die, we all die! The world will come to an end!
 * Lucina: I know, but...
 * Severa: Mother said her greatest pride as a pegasus knight was defending the exalted family. I may not be a pegasus knight, but I can still share in their duty. I can still protect you!
 * Grima: Impertinent little brat. What could you ever hope to protect? You're less than a shadow of your mother. If I could break her, then I'll have no trouble breaking you.
 * Severa: Rrgh...
 * Laurent: You do not give the lady nearly enough credit.
 * Severa: Laurent!
 * Laurent: Severa deduced this would be our best chance and acted swiftly. And she will not stand alone. You will have to go through me as well. Can you defeat us both before Lucina escapes? Or are you all sardonic quips?
 * Severa: Laurent, you fool! We don't BOTH have to die...
 * Laurent: What, you think this is some noble gesture? I'm simply following the wisest course. A shield twice as thick serves twice as well.
 * Severa: Uh-huh. It's a noble gesture. But still...thanks.
 * Laurent: Certainly. Your life is worth the effort, Severa.
 * Severa: Yeah, I know. Heh heh...
 * Gerome: ...... I'm staying too.
 * Severa: Gerome...
 * Gerome: By Laurent's logic, a shield thrice as thick would be an improvement. But I can make it four times as strong.
 * Laurent: Gerome, no! We cannot lose you and Minerva too.
 * Gerome: Minerva wishes to fight for Lucina. She told me as much before. And more importantly, she insists we meet our destinies together. If death is to come for us, it must take us both.
 * Laurent: ...All right, then.
 * Gerome: Forgive us, Lucina, but we must leave the hardest task to you. Find the rest of our friends, and put this wyrm out of its misery.
 * Lucina: No... You don't have to do this!
 * Severa: There's no time to debate it. Go, Lucina! ...GO!
 * Laurent: Now!
 * Gerome: ...Please.
 * Lucina: Agh... This cannot be happening! Must I abandon my friends and run like a dog? Is that the price of saving the world? Too many have died already... Please, someone grant me the power to change this!
 * Grima: Ha ha ha! Isn't this precious? What will it be, child of Naga? Will you buy a few more minutes of life by watching your friends get butchered? Or will you stay behind and render their sacrifice meaningless? I must say I shall enjoy this either way!
 * Lucina: Rrgh...
 * Grima: Don't you see? Humanity is finished. You have no future. Your mother and father are dead. And now, the exalted line... ENDS...WITH...YOU!
 * Chrom: ...Not quite!
 * Grima: Huh?!
 * Lucina: What...? Falchion is glowing... I...I know that voice!
 * Chrom: Stay strong! We're here to help! Not one of you needs to die today!
 * Grima: I-impossible... He's dead! I buried him myself! There's no way he could be here. This future has already been set in stone!
 * Chrom: That's no true, Lucina! Anything can change! And I'm going to prove it to you right here and now!
 * (Chrom and Shepherds appear)
 * Chrom: Is everyone ready? This will be our final battle here. We have to make certain everyone pulls through!
 * Severa: H-how did they get here?
 * Laurent: What matters is that they appear to be on our side.
 * Gerome: It could be a trap. Stay vigilant.
 * Lucina: But that's...my father! It doesn't make any sense!
 * Grima: I see Naga has played her last card. Summoning them from another world? Pfft! She should realize by now that she has already lost. There's no going back. Instead she wastes my time with petty tricks! ...But it makes no difference. A mountain of maggots is crushed as easily as one. If it's a reunion you seek, my soldiers shall welcome you on my behalf. You will soon be begging for the quick death I was willing to give you!
 * Chrom: Risen! Damn...
 * Grima: How I've missed fighting with you, Chrom. Come—stand at my side like you used to! Nothing would pleasure me more than stabbing you in the back a second time! Heh heh heh... Mwaaa ha ha ha HA HA HA HA!

After Battle Starts

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

W/ Lucina

 * Lucina: So that's what would have happened to me if I hadn't traveled back in time... This is our third visit to this world... If what Father said is true, then the five Gemstones and Fire Emblem still exist. That's very fortunate. In my future, one of the Gemstones had been lost forever. There was no way to perform the Awakening or restore Falchion's power. The only way to stop Grima was to use Naga's power to go back in time. Thankfully, this world is different. Theirs is the more dire future...and yet, they have the greater hope. If all eight children we saved make it back, the Fire Emblem can be completed. My counterpart here can finish Grima once and for all without leaving her world behind. ...I wish I had had that choice. I never wished to drag Father into my struggles. I wanted to kill Grima myself. But...what's done is done. I must deal with the evils at hand. ...Just as she is. I hope she finds the brighter future I never could.

W/ Chrom

 * Lucina: Father?! Is that you?
 * Chrom: Lucina! Are you all right?
 * Lucina: Father! Oh, Father, I don't care if you're a ghost... I'm so glad to see you! Please stay with me. Please...
 * Chrom: I'm no ghost, Lucina. But neither am I your real father.
 * Lucina: What?
 * Chrom: I come from an alternate world. An "Outrealm," if you like. I'm not the same man as the Chrom who lived in this world.
 * Lucina: I...think I understand. But it is still wonderful to see your face.
 * Chrom: Thank you, Lucina.
 * Lucina: Whatever world you hail from, you are still my father. That powerful voice, the kindness in your eyes... Those strong arms that taught me how to wield a sword... You have burned brightly in my memory since the moment I lost you. I never dreamed I would be able to see you again, to speak to you like this... Where do I even begin? There's...there's so much to s-say... Oh, Father! *sob*
 * Chrom: Forgive me, Lucina. You never would have had to take up the sword if I had lived. I should have been stronger for you. I know it's too little, too late...but I hope you will accept my apology.
 * Lucina: You did nothing wrong. I am the one who must apologize for dragging you into this hell. If I were stronger, my world would be safe and my people would not suffer.
 * Chrom: You have fought valiantly. And most importantly, you never gave up. Ylisse owes you everything. Now here you are on the verge of saving the world! I came here to do it with you. Let me fight with you and see your task through!
 * Lucina: Wha—? N-no, please don't.
 * Chrom: ...Why not?
 * Lucina: I am so sorry... You don't know how happy I am to hear those words. And you have already saved us just by coming here. But I beg you, please stand down before I have to watch you get hurt again! You fought to protect me once before, and it ended badly. I never saw you again... I cannot bear to relive that pain.
 * Chrom: I understand. But my past failures are exactly why I must insist on staying. I swear to you, Lucina. I WILL protect you. As your father, I have no greater duty.
 * Lucina: But how do I know you won't—
 * Chrom: You know because I just swore it. You will not shed tears over me a second time.
 * Lucina: Ah... ...... All right. But remember—you swore it!
 * Chrom: You have my word.
 * Lucina: Thank you, Father. Let us finish this task, then. And when it is over, may Naga see you safely back to your own world. May she bring you and your daughter there nothing but joy.

W/ Avatar (Female)

 * Lucina: Mother? Are you... But that doesn't make any sense!
 * Avatar: Lucina, are you hurt? Oh, my poor baby...
 * Lucina: GET...BACK!
 * Avatar: What?
 * Lucina: There is no way my mother could be here. Grima sent you. You're an illusion! Some...despicable servant! I will not be fooled!
 * Avatar: I...suppose you would think that. And I have only myself to blame for failing to protect you in this world.
 * Lucina: What do you mean, "this world"?
 * Avatar: I come from another world, Lucina. I'm not the same woman as the Avatar you know.
 * Lucina: ......
 * Avatar: I know it's incredible, and you don't have to believe me. But no matter what you say, I WILL protect you. I want you to change your destiny and find happiness. And as your mother, I will do absolutely whatever it takes to make that happen. Anything and everything!
 * Lucina: Mother, I'm... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry! It is you, isn't it? No servant of Grima's would ever speak such words... Oh, Mother... *sniff* Ahh... *sob*
 * Avatar: You believe me now?
 * Lucina: Yes! Just don't let go.
 * Avatar: I won't. I am so sorry I left you to face all of this on your own. You deserved better of your mother.
 * Lucina: Just seeing you here now is more than enough. I miss the strength in your arms, the wisdom in your voice...your guiding hands. I have missed your warmth during these long years...more than you can know. You have brought me happiness just by being here.
 * Avatar: Lucina...
 * Lucina: Well...I wish I could stay like this forever and share stories with you... But there's a battle to be won.
 * Avatar: Yes, there is.
 * Lucina: Will you help us?
 * Avatar: Of course. That's why I am here.
 * Lucina: Thank you, Mother. May I look at you one last time? I will miss you terribly once you leave again. But the smile on your face now will sustain me in the years to come.

W/ Sully

 * Sully: Lucina? ...Lucina, right?
 * Lucina: Who...? M-Mother?! Then that was you I saw amongst the reinforcements. But I thought it mere coincidence. How is this possible?
 * Sully: You're pretty damn sharp if you spotted me from that far away. I came from another world. That's what you saw. We heard you were in danger and came here to set things right. I'm...sorry...I'm not your real mother...
 * Lucina: You are my mother! Don't say that! It doesn't matter where you came from. I'm still so glad to see you!
 * Sully: Kind of you to say, Lucina. I've been watching you too, you know. You put up one hell of a fight. I imagine you've seen some damned horrific battles over the years. ...Some mother I was, too, leaving you to fight them alone.
 * Lucina: I was able to fight them because you saved my life-you and Father both. Ever since your passing, you have lived on in my heart and kept me strong. You died to keep the exalted bloodline alive, and I will not let that be in vain. Your conviction has seen me and my friends through every trial.
 * Sully: I'm proud of you, Lucina. And I know the Sully here would have been too.
 * Lucina: Oh, M-Mother... *sob*
 * Sully: There, there. Everything's gonna be all right. You rest and leave this fight to me.
 * Lucina: Will you be all right?
 * Sully: Me? It's the dastards I'm about to skewer who need to worry! Hell hath no fury like a ticked-off mother with combat training and a pointy weapon!
 * Lucina: Indeed. Thank you, Mother!

W/ Sumia

 * Sumia: Lucina! You're all right!
 * Lucina: Mother? Is that really you?! I thought I saw you amongst the reinforcements, but it seemed impossible... I can't believe this is happening. I never thought I would see you again!
 * Sumia: So you were watching when we came to your world.
 * Lucina: My world? I-I don't understand...
 * Sumia: The other reinforcements and I came from another world. We were told you were in danger and wanted to help. I'm sorry I'm not your real mother, but I intend to keep you safe all the same.
 * Lucina: No... I refuse.
 * Sumia: What?! Why? I know I'm less capable than the others, but I will fight doubly hard for you!
 * Lucina: I know how strong a warrior you are, Mother. Everyone does. I just don't want you putting yourself in danger. You have a life in your own world, don't you? A daughter there? She needs you more than I do.
 * Sumia: Lucina...
 * Lucina: Look around. Grima has us hopelessly outnumbered. Ylisse is in its final hour. I will not allow it to be yours as well.
 * Sumia: You're very kind to look out for me, Lucina. But I don't think you understand motherhood very much. When you push me away like this, it makes me sad. I want you to lean on me a little. It makes me feel needed. Just because we're in another world doesn't change who you are to me.
 * Lucina: Are you really sure?
 * Sumia: Of course. You can count on me. This won't be your final hour, now will it be mine, nor will it be Ylisse's. If you believe in me, I'll surpass your every expectation.
 * Lucina: I do believe in you. And I would be honored to fight with you.
 * Sumia: Good. Then come with me, Lucina. Let's restore light to your world once and for all!
 * Lucina: Thank you, Mother!

W/ Olivia

 * Olivia: Whew! I made it in time! Lucina... You poor thing... You're covered in wounds!
 * Lucina: Mother? No... I must be seeing things...
 * Olivia: You're not. Naga used her power to send me here from another world. I'm not your real mother, but I am real.
 * Lucina: You're from another world?
 * Olivia: Yes. But you're still my daughter. Now come here and let me hold you.
 * Olivia: Oh, M-Mother...
 * Olivia: My dear, sweet Lucina... I am so proud of you for making it this far.
 * Lucina: Mother, please... You're embarrassing me. I am not a child anymore. And when you squeeze me like this, I can't...nngh...see your face...
 * Olivia: Oh! I'm so sorry...
 * Lucina: Whew... There you are. I have missed you so much. Thank you for coming to our aid. But I cannot allow you to join such a dangerous battle. Please return to your own world before any harm befalls you.
 * Olivia: What? I can't leave you!
 * Lucina: But don't you see? You have already turned the tides of battle. Just seeing you again has given me courage.
 * Olivia: No... No, it's not enough.
 * Lucina: Mother, please!
 * Olivia: On the way here, we saw your friends. The ones you're expecting.
 * Lucina: What?
 * Olivia: They were fighting tooth and nail to bring you the Gemstones—to save the world!
 * Lucina: Naga keep them safe...
 * Olivia: Why are they allowed to fight for you and not your own mother? That hardly seems fair! I know I may not be strong, but I care about you, Lucina. I'm going to protect you if it's the last thing I do! Now, will you fight by my side or not?
 * Lucina: All right, Mother... Thank you. But only if you swear you won't get yourself killed.
 * Olivia: I swear it!

W/ Severa

 * Severa: *Sigh* What are we doing meddling in this stupid world? We haven't even saved our own yet. Now here I am stuck in a world just like the one I left behind. No one came to save US, did they? *sigh* ...Ack! Is that...me?! Oh no! I've got to hide!
 * (Severa hides)
 * Severa (NPC): *Huff, huff* The Risen just...keep coming... But I can't give up. I have to hold out...just a little longer...
 * (NPC Severa leaves)
 * Severa: ...She's gone. Gawds, look at her. Her hair is messed up, her skin is all blotchy... Ugh, and don't even get me started on her clothes. But those wounds... She's just like me before I jumped back in time. ...No. She's fighting even harder. Why am I picking on her when she clearly deserves our help? I was in bad shape, but not that bad. Her whole world really is on its last legs... Well, hold on, Severa. I've got your back! You can worry about your hair and your clothes once the world is safe. ...And you'd better. I have a reputation to uphold, you know. Especially since I may never get to return to my own time to uphold it...

W/ Cordelia

 * Cordelia: Severa? At last I've found you!
 * Severa: M-Mother? What are you doing here?
 * Cordelia: I was so worried I wouldn't make it in time.
 * Severa: Hey! You don't have to squeeze that tight, you know!
 * Cordelia: I am so proud of you for protecting Lucina like you did. And here I thought we were so different... But you protected your princess just like any pegasus knight would.
 * Severa: Why does everything I do have to be framed in terms of you? Why are you even here? I thought you were dead.
 * Cordelia: I am so sorry, Severa. But your mother and I are two different people. I come from another world.
 * Severa: What? You're not my mother?
 * Cordelia: No. By Naga's power, I have been sent here to help for as long as I can.
 * Severa: If you're not my mother, then get your hands off me.
 * Cordelia: Ah... Of course. Forgive me.
 * Severa: No matter what world you come from, you never change.Everything is always about you—about how you feel, about what you can do. You think that because I'm your daughter, I'll turn out exactly like you. Not once have you ever stopped to ask ME how I feel.
 * Cordelia: What?
 * Severa: Y-you made me so angry... *sniff* I h-hated you! Waaaaaah!
 * Cordelia: Oh! Baby, don't cry... Come here...
 * Severa: Don't tell me what to do! Ahh... *sob*
 * Cordelia: I don't even know where to begin. I am so sorry for all that I put you through.
 * Severa: ...F-fine. I accept your apology. Now let go of me.
 * Cordelia: Better now?
 * Severa: *Sniff* Of course I'm better. ...Your nose is running. I guess sometimes we do feel the same. ...I missed you.
 * Cordelia: ...I missed you too!
 * Severa: All right, PLEASE stop hugging me! This is a battlefield!
 * Cordelia: Yes, it is. Well, are you ready to finish this fight?
 * Severa: Only if you're ready to get blown away by how strong I've become.
 * Cordelia: Heh, let's see what me little girl can do.

Male Avatar

 * Avatar: Severa! You're all right!
 * Severa: D-daddy?! You're alive?
 * Avatar: No... Well, not exactly. I'm not from here. Naga's power has allowed me to come here from another world.
 * Severa: Another world?
 * Avatar: I know it sounds crazy. But I've come here to save you!
 * Severa: Well, you're a little late for that!
 * Avatar: Huh?
 * Severa: We've managed on our own since you passed away. You don't get to just show up now and save the day! Why didn't you come help us all the times we needed it before? Why didn't you stop Mother from dying? You could have even saved yourself!
 * Avatar: Severa...
 * Severa: We don't need your help anymore. We'll win this battle on our own!
 * Avatar: I'm sorry. I was presumptuous. I should have considered your feelings...
 * Severa: You should have NOT DIED is what you should've done! Ahh... *sniff*
 * Avatar: I understand how you feel. But I still have to protect my daughter. I can't walk away knowing you might get hurt.
 * Severa: Daddy... ...... I'm sorry. I take it all back. I don't want you to leave. I've missed you too much...
 * Avatar: Well I'm here now, Severa. Take cover and leave the rest of this fight to me.
 * Severa: Will you be all right?
 * Avatar: Ha! I'm more resilient than you think. I intend to win this fight.
 * Severa: Thank you. I never thought I would see your face again, Daddy. Just promise you'll stay safe. The other Severa back in your world needs you too.

Virion

 * Virion: Whew... Right in the nick of time. Good day, Severa.
 * Severa: Huh?
 * Virion: Poor girl. Such terrible wounds! Had I arrived too late, I might never have forgiven my noble self.
 * Severa: Daddy? You're alive?!
 * Virion: No, my dear. I came from another world entirely. When I heard this world was in peril, I gracefully sprang into action. And now I wish to fight by your side in your departed father's stead!
 * Severa: I appreciate any help I can get, but you do realize how dangerous it is here. Don't you have problems in your own world to worry about?
 * Virion: Indeed I do. The Fatherest of Fathers is a busy man. However, the needs of my beloved daughter come first in any world. Saving you is the noble thing to do.
 * Severa: You and your roundabout answers. It's the noble thing to do, but not what you want to do right? You'd rather be with your real daughter in your own world. I'm not stupid. So why are you risking your life here?
 * Virion: I shall assume those harsh words are an expression of concern. I can see you are just as kind and considerate in this world...
 * Severa: Stop changing the subject!
 * Virion: There is no one I care about more than my own daughter. No one.
 * Severa: Huh?
 * Virion: Of course, in this case, I have more than one daughter. But I refuse to put one daughter above the other. My daughter is my daughter. I cherish you both equally. Ergo, no one is more important to me than you.
 * Severa: Y-you really mean that? Having another daughter to look after isn't just some annoyance?
 * Virion: Certainly not. Now dry your tears. You have shed more than enough to prove how graceful and kind you are. Are you ready to join forces and rewrite your future?
 * Severa: Yes! Thank you daddy!

Stahl

 * Stahl: Severa? You're safe!
 * Severa: D-Daddy? Oh, Daddy, Daddy!
 * Stahl: Whoa! I didn't expect you to just throw your arms around me like that!
 * Severa: You're alive! *sob*
 * Stahl: Poor Severa... You've gone through so much. I wish I didn't have to add to your sorrows. But...you see...your father is still dead.
 * Severa: What?
 * Stahl: I came from another world. I'm not the Stahl you knew. I just want to protect you for what little time I have here.
 * Severa: Y-you can't stay?
 * Stahl: I'm afraid not. As soon as the battle is over, I will have to leave.
 * Severa: ...... Well, you totally ruined THAT moment.
 * Stahl: Sorry.
 * Severa: Are you from the past? You look a lot younger than I remember. And more dashing.
 * Stahl: Uh, I guess it was sort of the past...
 * Severa: I don't know why you came all this way just to get my hopes up. You shouldn't have...done that... *sniff*
 * Stahl: I know, Severa...
 * Severa: I loved you so much. You were always so gentle and easy to get along with... Nothing at all like my mother, Miss Perfect.
 * Stahl: Well, your father loved you just as much. But I didn't come here just to reminisce. I came here to keep my favorite daughter safe.
 * Severa: Thanks, Daddy. But I think you mean your ONLY daughter safe. ...I AM your only daughter, right?

Vaike

 * Vaike: Looks like the fell dragon's dastardly attack wasn't enough to do ya in. That's my little girl!
 * Severa: Daddy?! What are you doing here?
 * Vaike: The Vaike's come from another world to rescue his darling daughter! I may not be the Vaike you know—but who cares! You're still my little ball of sunshine.
 * Severa: I see... Well, even if you're not my real father, it's still good to see your face.
 * Vaike: It's good to see you too! You were amazin' back there. The Vaike saw how you protected Lucina. It takes real guts to do that—even for a friend. Lucina's just as lucky to have you as Chrom is to have me.
 * Severa: Really? I always thought you were jealous of him.
 * Vaike: Well, he does take most of the credit on the battlefield.
 * Severa: Then why help him out? Why not let him earn his glory himself?
 * Vaike: ...Not very bright, are ya?
 * Severa: Ex-CUSE me?
 * Vaike: I help him 'cause he's my best friend. The Vaike may not get much credit, but he gets a good friend in return. It's the same with you and Lucina, ain't it? You give her tongue-lashings all the time, but you would never abandon her. She's a good friend to you.
 * Severa: Well, someone has to stick up for her when she's too dense to do it for herself. That doesn't make us "friends."
 * Vaike: Ya know, you take after the Vaike so much it hurts.
 * Severa: Don't insult me! I'm nothing like you.
 * Vaike: Well, you certainly got Cordelia's good looks. The Vaike would hate to see such beauty come to an end here. Now how about we fight together? All right, Severa?
 * Severa: But... I don't want you to die...
 * Vaike: Oh? So ya don't think you're good enough to watch the Vaike's back?
 * Severa: Of course I am! I'm way better than you! The Daughter of Vaike isn't about to be bested by her old man.
 * Vaike: That's more like it. With you by my side, I don't think I could die if I tried. Now come on. ...HaaaAAA!
 * Severa: W-wait, Daddy! Ugh, does he even have a plan of attack? ......But I'm still glad I got to see him again. ...Thanks, Daddy.

Lon'qu

 * Lon'qu: Severa.
 * Severa: Huh?! No... Daddy?!
 * Lon'qu: I'm not sure whether or not you can call me that. But yes, in this world, Lon'qu was your father.
 * Severa: "This world"? What are you talking about?
 * Lon'qu: I come from another world. When I heard your world was in danger, I came here to alter your destiny.
 * Severa: Okay. So you're another version of my father.
 * Lon'qu: Hmm... You don't seem very surprised.
 * Severa: Are you kidding? My heart is racing. I'm so confused. But you always told me to stay calm on the battlefield. I'm taking your advice.
 * Lon'qu: Smart girl.
 * Severa: I know, right? At first, I thought there was no way I could keep my cool. But eventually all the death and tragedy just sort of...sinks in. Like Grima back there? I wasn't s-scared of him... And you think seeing my dead f-father is enough to sh-shake me? Ahh...
 * Lon'qu: Severa! Easy...
 * Severa: I'm fine! I'm c-calm! You're not going to make me c-cry... Ahh... *sob*
 * Lon'qu: It's all right, Severa. You don't need to put on a show for me. If you need to cry...cry.
 * Severa: But I... But I... *sniff* Waaaaaaaaah! Daddy, I missed you so much! I don't care if you're really him or not. I'm s-so glad to see you!
 * Lon'qu: I'm sorry my poor advice caused you to hold so much in. But you don't have to do it anymore. Staying calm on the battlefield means nothing if you're forcing it. Sometimes you need to let everything out before you can really collect yourself. Your father here never wanted you to suffer. I know he didn't.
 * Severa: *Sniff*
 * Lon'qu: Listen, Severa. I can't stay here for much longer. But I'll keep you safe as long as I can. I will see you through this! Let me be your father while I'm here.
 * Severa: I would love that, Daddy. Thank you... But you'd better stay safe. I mean it.

Ricken

 * Ricken: You're okay!
 * Severa: Who's okay? Run, kid, before you get hurt!
 * Ricken: I'm not a kid! Don't you recognize me, Severa?
 * Severa: How do you know my name? And why do you look vaguely familiar?
 * Ricken: It's me! Ricken!
 * Severa: As in my dead father, Ricken? I guess I do see a resemblance, but come on. I'm not stupid.
 * Ricken: Of course you aren't! You're my daughter. The reason I look this way is because I came from a world where I'm younger. That doesn't change who I am though.
 * Severa: Well, it's kind of hard to believe... But strangely I do believe it. Who knew my father used to be so adorable?
 * Ricken: Um... I'm glad you think so. Now can we get serious, please? Are you alright? It looked like the fell dragon hit you pretty hard.
 * Severa: Don't worry. I've been through worse.
 * Ricken: I don't know if I can even picture worse... Well, I'm here now, so you find someplace safe and leave the battle to me.
 * Severa: What? No way! Daddy or not, you're still just a child. I'm not letting you march off to your death! Watching one father die was bad enough...
 * Ricken: ......
 * Severa: I guess you wouldn't know. You wouldn't understand... I watched my father die right before my eyes... *sniff*
 * Ricken: I'm sorry, Severa. I left you fatherless and alone. But just because I'm younger than he was doesn't mean I'm weaker. Chrom and the others look up to me! They know what I'm capable of.
 * Severa: Really?
 * Ricken: Really! So don't you worry. I'm going to keep you nice and safe. Your father never wanted you to be unhappy, and neither do I.
 * Severa: All right, Daddy. But only if we fight together. I won't use you as a shield.
 * Ricken: ...All right. Fine by me! Together we'll be an unstoppable force.
 * Severa: I know we will. Thank you, Daddy.

Gregor

 * Gregor: Oy! Is good to see you in one piece, Severa.
 * Severa: No... It can't be! ...Daddy?
 * Gregor: Actually, Gregor come from another world. Is not same as Gregor who died in this world, yes?
 * Severa: Another world? But why?
 * Gregor: To protect darling daughter, of course! Gregor heard your world was in trouble.
 * Severa: And you show up NOW? I don't need your stupid help!
 * Gregor: Oy, here we go... Must you always pretend you are angry? Is not hereditary... Would it really kill you to just tell Gregor how much you miss him?
 * Severa: I don't miss you!
 * Gregor: Very well. Either way, Gregor is sorry Other Gregor died and left you all by yourself. It must have been very hard on you.
 * Severa: Darned right it was! What kind of father does that to his daughter? My life has been horrible ever since I lost you!
 * Gregor: Severa...
 * Severa: I loved you so much, I decided to be a mercenary like you when I took the field. You were my model of strength! When you died, you robbed me of more than just a father. Don't you get it?
 * Gregor: Yes, Gregor get it very much. *sniff* You are making Gregor want to shed the tears now. Gregor is very proud you followed in father's footsteps. Your father wold have been proud.
 * Severa: I...I don't need you to tell me that.
 * Gregor: Of course not. Well...Gregor has come to keep you safe, so that is what Gregor will do. Is no way those Risen will hurt his precious little girl!
 * Severa: Well, you just make sure not to slow me down. And...thanks, Daddy. I don't want to admit it, but I've always dreamed of fighting by your side like this.

W/ Gerome

 * Gerome: So that's the "me" of this world. His Minerva is just as magnificent... But what's this? Her scales and wings have lost their luster. Her body is covered in wounds... As is mine, I see. That last attack did some serious damage. If I don't end this soon, the other me will certainly die. I like meddling with an alternate world even less than I like meddling with the past. But how can I witness this and do nothing? I hope what meager help I can offer makes a difference. My friends and I will do all we can to keep you and Minerva safe. But you must keep fighting. You must!
 * Gerome (NPC): ...What's wrong, Minerva? Why do you keep looking over there? Do you sense danger?
 * (Minerva cries out)
 * Gerome (NPC): Minerva? Who are you...who are you thanking?

W/ Cherche

 * Cherche: Gerome? Pardon me, but are you the Gerome of this world?
 * Gerome: Wha—? But how—? I mean—
 * Cherche: "Hello, Mother," would do. It's so good to see you—especially in one piece!
 * Gerome: N-no... Stay back!
 * Cherche: What has gotten into you?
 * Gerome: This must be a trap. My mother was killed by Risen long ago. And no matter how much I long to see her...no matter how much Minerva misses her...she can never return. It's not possible. Stay away, you impostor!
 * Cherche: ...... Well, I never claimed to be your departed mother. But still...
 * (Minerva cries out)
 * Gerome: What is it, Minerva? Why are you so happy?
 * Cherche: Thank you, Minerva. She says she's glad to see me, whether I am the Cherche she knew or not.
 * Gerome: You understand her? Then...you must be my mother. You must...
 * Cherche: To me, you are a son, Gerome. But I come from another world. So no, I am not the same woman as your mother.
 * Gerome: So you ARE an impostor. I knew it. In that case, leave us...before... ......
 * Cherche: Do not cry, Gerome... If I am the impostor you say, then those tears are wasted on me.
 * Gerome: ...Wh-what tears?
 * Cherche: Such a strong boy. Here...
 * Gerome: Ah!
 * Cherche: Such a heavy mask you wear... And so much sorrow and pain it was made to hide... I am so sorry I left you. Your mother should have stayed with you till the end. But you see? That is how I know how strong you are. You never gave up.
 * Gerome: ......
 * Cherche: Now that your struggles near their end, I am here to struggle with you. You needn't accept me as your mother. But all the same, I swear to defend you and Minerva both. Where this world's Cherche failed, I intend to succeed.
 * Gerome: ...... You'll fight by my side? But why trouble yourself with a stranger's problems?
 * Cherche: You are no stranger. You are my son—in any world. Taking care of you is my greatest joy!
 * Gerome: Thank you, Mother. I am glad I got to see you one last time.
 * Cherche: Here. You probably want this back.
 * Gerome: And, Mother?
 * Cherche: You do not have to say it. I already know, Gerome. And I love you too.

Male Avatar

 * Avatar: Gerome? You're safe!
 * Gerome: Father? Is that really you? You're alive!
 * Avatar: Not exactly. I'm not technically your father. I've come from another world to help you and Minerva where he couldn't. Will you let me fight by your side?
 * Gerome: ......
 * Avatar: Gerome?
 * Gerome: You have some nerve. Do you have any idea where we are? What's going on around us? You could be a sinister trap of Grima's, and you expect me to trust you? Begone, ghost, and speak my name no more.
 * Avatar: Gerome! I... I must admit you're right. You shouldn't trust me, tactically speaking. That clever thinking has saved your friends more than once no doubt.
 * Gerome: Huh?
 * Avatar: I will respect your judgement and keep my distance. But like it or not, I intend to fight for you, even from afar.
 * Gerome: ...... I learned it from you.
 * Avatar: I'm sorry?
 * Gerome: You taught me to keep my cool no matter how strange things get on the battlefield. You said my comrades might panic or get confused, but I at least should stay calm. You taught me to be a leader.
 * Avatar: And a tremendous leader you have become.
 * Gerome: Father... *sniff*
 * Avatar: You believe me, then?
 * Gerome: Only my father could remain so indifferent after being rebuffed like that.
 * Avatar: Thanks...I think.
 * Gerome: I'm sorry I doubted you. Will you fight with me now to change our destiny?
 * Avatar: That's why I'm here.

Frederick

 * Frederick: Gerome! Thank the gods you're safe.
 * Gerome: What? F-Father? That's impossible!
 * Frederick: Yes. It is true that the Frederick of this world passed away long ago. However, I have come here from another world. Ergo, I am not the same man as your father.
 * Gerome: Another world? But how can that be...
 * Frederick: Gerome, you did a marvelous thing back there. Shielding milord Chrom's daughter from the fell dragon's blows took courage. You have the heart of a true knight.
 * Gerome: Yes, well...both my parents were knights. Perhaps nature intended for me to be this way.
 * Frederick: Don't be so humble. From one knight to another: I admire you. No doubt the Frederick of this world would have been equally proud. However, as a father... I cannot praise such actions wholeheartedly...
 * Gerome: And why not? My life exists to protect my liege. I give it without reservation. Were you or Mother any different?
 * Frederick: A father wants his son to live in happiness, not die with honor. Does being a knight disqualify me from such sentiment?
 * Gerome: I could say the same!
 * Frederick: What do you mean?
 * Gerome: When I lost you and Mother, I knew you died with honor. But I wanted you to live! To me, you were a father first and foremost!
 * Frederick: I... I know. Forgive me, Gerome... But at least I understand how you feel now. Knight or no knight, you must endeavor to keep living. You only die to save your liege once... But by living, you could do even greater good.
 * Gerome: I understand...
 * Frederick: You won't have to struggle alone. I have come here to help you. Not as a knight—but as a father, I intend to keep you safe. No more talk of giving your life when you don't have to.
 * Gerome: ...All right. But I am still a knight. I will strive to keep living, but not by using you as a shield. We will fight side by side. Agreed?
 * Frederick: Agreed!
 * Gerome: ...Thank you.

Stahl

 * Stahl: Gerome? Are you alright? Gods, look at you—you're covered in wounds!
 * Gerome: Father? Do my eyes deceive me?
 * Stahl: Your eyes are fine. But I'm not the Stahl you know. I came here from another world to help you for as long as I can.
 * Gerome: Another world?
 * Stahl: That's right. I could be whisked back out of here at any moment. We need to finish this fight now! Follow me, and I'll—
 * Gerome: Why didn't you come sooner?
 * Stahl: Beg your pardon?
 * Gerome: If you had this kind of power, why didn't you come sooner? Do you have any idea what we've been through? What we've lost?
 * Stahl: Huh? Gerome, I... *sigh* I'm sorry.
 * Gerome: With your help, we could have saved so many lives. We might have been spared the worst of our troubles. You could have saved Mother's life...and maybe even your own! Instead, you show up now, after nearly all is lost... All I can feel now is regret!
 * Stahl: I know... You're right. I should have come sooner. I would have, if I knew how. You needed me. You deserved better of your father.
 * Gerome: ......
 * Stahl: But better late than never. I can still save at least one life—yours. For me, that's enough of a reason to fight. Will you let me? I swear I'll protect you and Minerva with every bone in my body. Let me at least try to make up for all the times I've failed you.
 * Gerome: I... A-all right... Thank you. I'm sorry I got so worked up. None of this is really your fault... It's that damned fell dragon's.
 * Stahl: I know you were just upset.
 * Gerome: Will you help me defeat Grima, Father?
 * Stahl: Of course I will!

Vaike

 * Vaike: Still alive and kickin' boy?
 * Gerome: Huh? That voice...
 * Vaike: The Vaike is no voice. The Vaike is legend!
 * Gerome: I'm fairly certain even legends have voices... But...is that really you? It doesn't seem possible...
 * Vaike: I ain't the Vaike you know. I'm another Vaike from another world. You can never have too many Vaikes, and this one's here to save your bacon!
 * Gerome: Another world?
 * Vaike: That's right. I thought OUR world was bad, but yours is a nightmare! Teach gives you full marks for survivin' this long. You truly are the Son of Vaike.
 * Gerome: I had to survive.
 * Vaike: Yeah?
 * Gerome: I've known nothing but pain and despair since I was a child. I was born into a world where every day is a battle. After a while, sidestepping death became a routine.
 * Vaike: You're always ready, huh?
 * Gerome: My father taught me to be ready.
 * Vaike: Smart man!
 * Gerome: No, but a determined one. "One day the Vaike may fall. But not the Son of Vaike!" he said. Those were his last words before he went off to destroy the Risen. He never returned. Since then, I have taken those words to heart.
 * Vaike: In that case, I wish I'd thought of somethin' more clever...
 * Gerome: No. it was exactly what I needed to hear. And as you noted, it has kept me alive where others died.
 * Vaike: Well, now that Vaike and Son of Vaike are a team, no one's gonna die.
 * Gerome: More bravado?
 * Vaike: You can't spell "bravado" without V. ...Ya know? V for Vaike! Anyway, are we gonna sweep up this battlefield or not?
 * Gerome: Heh. Fair enough. Try not to wet yourself when you realize how strong your son is.
 * Vaike: Har! That goes both ways!
 * Gerome: All right. Let's go!

Donnel

 * Donnel: Gerome? Is that really you? Reckon I made it just in time!
 * Gerome: F-Father?! I must be dreaming...
 * Donnel: Hmm? Now, why's that?
 * Gerome: Not only am I seeing my dead father, but he's years younger than I remember! I must have hit my head... Either that, or I'm dead...
 * Donnel: Oh, you sure ain't dead! And you ain't dreamin', neither! I'm here as sure as the sky's blue. ...Er, blood red.
 * Gerome: How can that be?
 * Donnel: Well, ya see...I came here from another world to help ya. I may not be able to stay very long, but I'll fight with ya as long as I can.
 * Gerome: Another world, is it? Then you may as well be a dream.
 * Donnel: What? Well, that sure ain't nice!
 * Gerome: Don't get me wrong. I can see that you're no ghost. But a father from another world who isn't here to stay? That sounds like a dream to me. Tomorrow, I shall wonder if this even really happened.
 * Donnel: ...... Gerome, ya sure you're not just sayin' that to keep from gettin' hurt?
 * Gerome: What would you know about my pain? Did you lose your father in some meaningless war? No, I thought not, so—
 * Donnel: Actually, I did.
 * Gerome: Huh?
 * Donnel: My pa died in the war. It darned near broke my heart too. Course, I can't say I know exactly how ya feel. At least I still got my ma. But I understand a wee bit, and I'm sorry I left ya on your own. At least let me make it up to ya now by fightin' at your side. You're my only son, Gerome.
 * Gerome: ...... Father...
 * Donnel: I may not be the strongest warrior in these here parts...but I'll be damned if I let any harm come to you or Minerva!
 * Gerome: Fine, but...how do I know I won't lose you a second time?
 * Donnel: I promise! Your pa's plenty tougher than ya remember him, I reckon.
 * Gerome: All right. Then lend me your strength, Father. Together we might just pull through this.

Lon'qu

 * Lon'qu: Hmm, is this area secure...?
 * (Gerome appears)
 * Gerome: Who are you?
 * Lon'qu: ...! I'm...a warrior come from another world.
 * Gerome: Are you now? I must say I saw you fighting before. You fight remarkably. Your offense and defense are both impeccable.
 * Lon'qu: ...Right.
 * Gerome: You remind me of someone... This may sound silly, but you fight just like my—
 * Lon'qu: This is a battlefield. Stop prattling on and fight!
 * Gerome: Huh? Wait!
 * (Minerva cries out)
 * Lon'qu: What is it, Minerva? I mean... Urgh, damn!
 * Gerome: You know my wyvern's name? ...She used to coo like that around my father. I haven't heard the sound for years.
 * Lon'qu: Coincidence.
 * Gerome: I think not...Father.
 * Lon'qu: ......
 * Gerome: I saw the resemblance—your stance, your moves, your voice, your words... But it seemed impossible, I... Is it really you?
 * Lon'qu: I was hoping to avoid this, but yes. Minerva knew me at this age, so I should have anticipated being recognized. Anyway, I m glad you're alive, Gerome. You have done magnificently.
 * Gerome: Father, I... *sniff* I don't know what to...
 * Lon'qu: Don't cry, Gerome. You wear that mask for a reason. So your enemies never see any fear...or doubt. Don't let tears betray you now.
 * Gerome: Easy for you to say. I'm not the stalwart, collected man you were.
 * Lon'qu: You think I never showed weakness? You must have never seen me around women, then. Your mother, Cherche, was the exception. But before her... Trust me when I tell you you are the stronger one. The better fighter, and the better man.
 * Gerome: Th-thank you...
 * Lon'qu: I have come here to keep you safe. Now that you know who I am, you must let me protect you and Minerva. I'm not about to let my son and my favorite wyvern come to harm.
 * Gerome: You'd do that for me? I've always strived to fight like you—hoped I would one day be your equal. I never got to test my strength against that of my father in this world. But with you...
 * Lon'qu: I relish the chance. Show me what you can do, Gerome!
 * Gerome: Right!

Ricken

 * Ricken: Gerome!
 * Gerome: Huh? What are you doing on a battlefield, boy?
 * Ricken: Agh, I knew this would happen. It's me, Ricken! Your father!
 * Gerome: Ha! That's rich! My father died years ago. Whatever mischief you're plotting, you need to leave right now. It's too dangerous for you here.
 * Ricken: I'm not going anywhere. For starters, I came here from ANOTHER WORLD to help you. That's why I look so young. My world is further in the past. Secondly, you're my SON! I'm not going to leave you here to die.
 * Gerome: I'm sorry, but do you really expect me to believe nonsense like—
 * (Minerva cries out)
 * Gerome: Minerva? What is it?
 * Ricken: Thanks, Minerva! I was hoping you'd remember me. After all, you've known me longer. We've been friends since I was young. I missed you too!
 * Gerome: Is this really happening? This...boy is my father? No, I need further proof.
 * Ricken: Alright. How can I prove it?
 * Gerome: When I was little, my father tried to teach me magic. But I decided to become a wyvern rider like my mother instead. What did my father say to me then?
 * Ricken: What? But...that hasn't happened to me yet. How could I possibly...
 * Gerome: ......
 * Ricken: Wait. I can figure this out. I think...I would probably say this: no matter what path you choose, I'll always watch over you. If you think your place in the world is to be a knight, then a knight you should be. ...But the world of magic will be missing out.
 * Gerome: ...!
 * Ricken: Was that even close?
 * Gerome: ......
 * Ricken: I guess not.
 * Gerome: Close? That's EXACTLY what he said. Nearly word for word.
 * Ricken: Then you believe me?
 * Gerome: Yes. I'm sorry I doubted you.
 * Ricken: Woo-hoo!
 * Gerome: I didn't follow in your footsteps, Father, but I always looked up to you. Mage or not, you cut an imposing figure, and your hands were full of strength. I can remember every spell you weaved in front of me like it was yesterday. I would...very much like to see that again.
 * Ricken: Well...I can do the magic, but I'm not so sure about the imposing figure.
 * Gerome: I'll take what I can get. My memory should be able to fill in the rest.
 * Ricken: Really? All right, Gerome. You've got me all pumped up now! Get ready for a maelstrom of magic to top them all!
 * Gerome: Go get 'em, Father.

Libra

 * Libra: Gerome! You're alive. Praise the gods!
 * Gerome: Father, is that you? But your spirit is with the gods now...
 * Libra: Yes... It seems the Libra of this world did meet such a fate...
 * Gerome: Of this world?
 * Libra: Correct. I am a visitor from a world apart from this one.
 * Gerome: But...how...
 * Libra: Listen to me. I cannot stay long. But let me fight with you while there is still time!
 * Gerome: No... I can handle this alone. If you cannot stay, then save yourself the trouble and leave now.
 * Libra: Why would you say that?
 * Gerome: I am used to fending for myself. For years, no help came. If we've made it this far, we can make it the rest of the way. So you can keep your little divine intervention.
 * Libra: Those are harsh words...but I cannot deny the truth in them. Very well. If I cannot fight with you, then I will be your shield instead. If need be, I will die for you.
 * Gerome: What? No! No, I will not allow it! I have already watched my father die once! You win. You may fight by my side. But stay alive! I beg of you!
 * Libra: Are you that worried about me? I'm not your real father, you know.
 * Gerome: It...it doesn't matter. Watching even a false father die sits ill with me.
 * Libra: Very well. Then my strength is yours.
 * Gerome: Thank you.
 * Libra: See? That wasn't so hard. You push people away with harsh words, but I can see the love in your heart. I am proud my son turned into such a caring person.
 * (Libra leaves)
 * Gerome: ...... You were my pride too, Father. I'm sorry I was never able to say the words...

Henry

 * Henry: Hey-o, Gerome! that's you, isn't it?
 * Gerome: ...Father?!
 * Henry: It IS you! Whew, good thing I made it. After that blow you took before, I though I might find you in gooey, gloppy pieces.
 * Gerome: But you're the one who's supposed to be dead.
 * Henry: True! The Henry of this world definitely bit the big one. But I'm not him. I came here from another world. I can't stay very long, so point me at the bad guys so I can help out!
 * Gerome: No. If what you say is true, then I don't need your help. Go back to your own world.
 * Henry: Whoa, what? That's kinda harsh!
 * Gerome: I already watched you die once. Do you really think I want to see that again?
 * Henry: So instead you're going to make me watch you die? Sorry but I'm not scurrying off until I know you're safe.
 * Gerome: I appreciate the sentiment, but—
 * Henry: Good! Now that we're on the same page, I know the two of us will get through this.
 * (Minerva cries out)
 * Gerome: What is it, Minerva?
 * Henry: Nya ha! Sorry, Minerva. I meant "the three of us." Together, we'll be an unstoppable force of death and destruction!
 * Gerome: You understand what she said?
 * Henry: Uh, well...she is family, you know? You and Minerva and Cherche are everything to me. You see why I'm fighting to hard to keep you alive, Gerome?
 * Gerome: Yes... I suppose I do. All right... Help me, Father. But you had better not die again.
 * Henry: Don't worry—not planning to!
 * Gerome: Good. Thank you.

W/ Laurent

 * Laurent: Hmm... That must be this world's version of me. When he stood between Lucina and the fell dragon, I must say my heart skipped a step. No one wants to watch himself die. ...But it appears I have made it in time. Is it safe to speak to myself, I wonder? Such opportunities scarcely come long. Think what I could learn! Just witnessing my own reaction to myself would be an experiment among experiments. ...... But it is probably bad idea. What if I caused my own heart to stop? If the other me has some key role here, I could cost him the battle. No. My energies would be better applied to expunging all these ghastly Risen. I hope my meager help manages to make a difference, Other Me. You deserve a happy future.
 * Laurent (NPC): Hm? I swear that warrior over there could be my twin! Wonderful. Now I'm imagining things...

W/ Miriel

 * Laurent: M-Mother?!
 * Miriel: My dearest son. Seeing you unharmed fills me with joyous sensations.
 * Laurent: Mother! Oh, Mother! I can't believe I have finally found you! After your disappearance, I scoured the battlefields but never located your body. I always believed you were alive!
 * Miriel: Oh... Yes, about that...
 * Laurent: Perhaps there really is such a thing as miracles!
 * Miriel: Erm... Well. Laurent, you may wish to gird yourself for what I am about to tell you. I should have told you from the outset, but...I am not your mother. I am not even from your world.
 * Laurent: Egads, Mother. If you've taken up humorous banter, your sense of it is appalling.
 * Miriel: I am not joking. I come from another world entirely. An "Outrealm." So while I am your mother, I am not YOUR mother, if you follow. It's fascinating. Tragic...but fascinating.
 * Laurent: Take that back. My mother would never speak such baseless nonsense!
 * Miriel: Indeed she would not. I suppose I would harbor my own suspicions if I did not know better. But I do, ergo my nonsense is not baseless, ergo it is not nonsense.
 * Laurent: Then my real mother is... She's really gone.
 * Miriel: I'm sorry. I do regret the brief dose of elation I seem to have misadministered. I hope I have not crushed all your hopes under the weight of this latest one.
 * Laurent: ...No. Perhaps it is best I let my mother go. Dreaming she lives on is just that—a dream. A useless fallacy. She would want me to move on. Thank you for waking me up. You know, this does still feel like a reunion, in a roundabout way.
 * Miriel: Thank you, Laurent. Against better reasoning, I feel much the same. Now, allow me to join my talents with yours on your real mother's behalf. She would want you to be safe during your most momentous of battles.
 * Laurent: Thank you, Mother. I have always longed to fight by your side. How strange that a crossing between worlds helped realize that wish.
 * Miriel: It is most curious indeed.
 * Laurent: I would very much like to study these other worlds—Outrealms, you called them? Once I have put Grima's terror to an end, I shall set to work.
 * Miriel: Only my son could think about research amidst a crisis like this. And how I admire you for it! A thirst for knowledge proves how alive we truly are.
 * Laurent: Then may my thirst never be slaked.

Frederick

 * Frederick: Laurent? How it pleases me to see you safe!
 * Laurent: F-Father? No, this is far too implausible...
 * Frederick: I come from another world, son. I am not the same man as the father you knew. Nonetheless, I wish to keep you safe for as long as I am permitted to stay here. Will you grant me that favor?
 * Laurent: Another world? ...Father, I appreciate the thought. But my Ylisse will soon fall beneath the veil of darkness. It is over. I am far too grateful to see you again to put your life in any danger. So please, return whence you came.
 * Frederick: But, son, I cannot—
 * Laurent: I insist!
 * Frederick: So stubborn and serious. I hardly need wonder who you take after...
 * Laurent: Huh?
 * Frederick: I know you are a kind lad, Laurent—a friend who puts others first. Sometimes you put them too far ahead of yourself and get hurt in the process. And that is partly my fault—for not being there to share your burdens. But you have suffered enough. I want you to live in happiness now.
 * Laurent: Father, I...
 * Frederick: It's all right, Laurent. There is no shame in letting your father do his job.
 * Laurent: But you might... You'll...
 * Frederick: I will not. I may have brought you sadness by dying once, but never again! I swear to defend you to the last! I shall finish the other Frederick's job for him!
 * Laurent: ..... All right, then, I accept your help. I suppose I always have wanted to take the battlefield at your side.
 * Frederick: Together we shall do just that, Laurent. You and I shall restore hope to Ylisse!
 * Laurent: Right! Come, Father!

Virion

 * Virion: Do I spy a Laurent?
 * Laurent: Father?! You're alive? ...Impossible! I buried you myself! You must be a Risen. Rrgh! You will pay for sinking to such a disgusting ruse!
 * Virion: Huh? Now just hold on, Son...
 * Laurent: I will free you, Father! You will rest in peace again!
 * Virion: Ow! Relent, I say! Do I look like a Risen? Show me just one Risen with so fair a complexion! With such...unglowy eyes!
 * Laurent: Huh? Then...what are you?
 * Virion: A visitor from another world, actually—one where your father still lives. I am not the Virion who died here. I am the Virion who lives there, you see? I have come to help you, not to be mistaken for dead flesh.
 * Laurent: Another world...
 * Virion: Yes. Are you trying to drive me to an early grave? Ugh! You did not even hesitate to strike me. Was the Virion of this world so poor a father to you?
 * Laurent: No, my father TAUGHT me to do that. He said a true noble must be ready to set his emotions aside to protect his people.
 * Virion: And you followed my advice to the letter, I see.
 * Laurent: Yes. If my own father came to me as an enemy and tried to hurt my friends... I would have to...you know. *sniff*
 * Virion: Are you all right, boy?
 * Laurent: I would do what I have to, but that doesn't make it easy. It broke my heart to strike you like that just now. ...You? A poor father? You were the finest father I could ask for. Do you have any idea how glad I am just to...s-see you...?
 * Virion: Laurent! My son... Forgive me. I chose my words callously. Rashly, perhaps, since I may not be able to stay in this world for long. I did not mean to elicit tears.
 * Laurent: You didn't do anything wrong. I did. Anyway, I'm better now. Don't feel bad on my account.
 * Virion: Always looking out for others... Even covered in wounds, you managed a most convincing smile. Only a true noble—the true heir to House Virion—could have so kind a heart. Now, shall we finish this battle? I believe you have a peaceful future to secure.
 * Laurent: You'll help me?
 * Virion: Of course. Watch me devastate your enemies with legendary grace!
 * Laurent: I shall look forward to it. Thank you, Father!

Stahl

 * Stahl: Laurent! I'm so glad you're all right!
 * Laurent: F...Father?! My dead Father is standing before me. He's talking to me. Have my visual and auditory faculties failed me at last?
 * Stahl: Heh, that's my son. You're like me. When things go weird, you assume it's your body acting up. Listen, I'm not a ghost or anything.
 * Laurent: Then how can you be here? Did you survive somehow? Were you in hiding somewhere?
 * Stahl: It's even stranger than that. I've come from another world. I'm sorry to get your hopes up but I'm not really your father.
 * Laurent: Don't apologize. Of course you're my father. And I have missed you terribly.
 * Stahl: It's good to see you too. I don't know how you managed in such a dismal world, but I'm proud of you.
 * Laurent: My achievements still pale to yours. I know all you accomplished while trying to keep Ylisse safe.
 * Stahl: Like father, like son, I suppose. But that's not exactly the legacy I had hoped to leave you...
 * Laurent: I'm glad you did. I consider it an honor. I may not win fame or accolades, but I know that I am needed. Being in this position makes me feel connected to you.
 * Stahl: Thank you, Laurent. That's nice of you to say. I wish we could spend more time catching up, but the battle won't wait. Will you fight with me to save your future?
 * Laurent: What? I can't put you in danger.
 * Stahl: It's all right, Laurent. Why do you think I came here? I don't want you to spend one more second going through this alone. There's nothing wrong with accepting my help. This is what fathers do. It's what your father would do.
 * Laurent: Thank you... Will you do me a favor, though, and take this medicine with you?
 * Stahl: What is it?
 * Laurent: I mixed it myself. It's special. You taught mother and me the basic formula, and we perfected it. It should be enough to close minor wounds. You told me you always carried it into battle.
 * Stahl: I see... Thank you, Laurent. It feels nice to know you kept making it after I was gone. But for what it's worth, I don't plan on getting wounded. Just wait until you see how strong your father was.
 * Laurent: I'll be watching every moment. And I promise to never forget the second father who came to save me...

Vaike

 * Vaike: Laurent? Is that you? So the Son of Vaike still lives!
 * Laurent: F-Father? Have I gone mad?
 * Vaike: Is it just me, or are you even lankier than I remember? I'm sure food must be hard to come by, but come on! Put some meat on them bones!
 * Laurent: How can you be here?
 * Vaike: The Vaike is everywhere! He may be dead in your world, but not in others. What's why the Vaike has crossed between worlds to save your hide.
 * Laurent: Is that even possible? ...No, I refuse to believe it.
 * Vaike: Ugh, does everything always have to add up with you? Look. The Vaike is here! Are you gonna turn that kind of power down 'cause you can't wrap your head around it?
 * Laurent: No. I don't need to understand it. I just need to stay calm and... and then I can f-figure out the best course of... Ahh... *sob*
 * Vaike: Do you always break down into tears before you finish your sentences?
 * Laurent: I'm not crying! S-some ash just flew into my eyes.
 * Vaike: Through your glasses?
 * Laurent: Ugh. Listen-- I have feelings too! My dead father just appeared out of nowhere. How did you think I'd react?
 * Vaike: Couldn't turn the floodwaters back, eh? The Vaike does have that effect on people. But maybe you should trust your heart more than that head full of brains. Ya coulda just said you're happy to see me instead of bein' so stubborn.
 * Laurent: I shouldn't be weeping like this on the battlefield. How mortifying...
 * Vaike: Naw, let it all out. At least this means ya finally accept who I am. It's time to let me be your father again. For a little while, anyway. C'mere.
 * Laurent: Father...
 * Vaike: *Ahem* All right, tender moment over. Now let's shake and Vaike those Risen! Let's see what Teach's son has learned since class was dismissed.
 * Laurent: All right, Father. You just wait till you see how fast I move. The wind will dry the tears right off my face! And besides... I wouldn't want blurry vision to ruin this chance to see the Vaike in action again.

Kellam

 * Kellam: Laurent, is that you?
 * Laurent: Father?! It can't be!
 * Kellam: I'm not exactly your father, Laurent. I came here from another world.
 * Laurent: Is that even possible?
 * Kellam: I'm just glad to see you're safe...or at least as safe as can be expected.
 * Laurent: I fear the odds against our longevity grow worse with each passing moment.
 * Kellam: What?
 * Laurent: If these are to be my final minutes, I am glad to get to pass them with you, Father.
 * Kellam: Now hold on just a darned moment! You've come all this way only to give up?
 * Laurent: I am simply making a rational observation. Grima's army is as formidable as ever, while our strength continues to dwindle. We have exhausted all means of extricating ourselves from this plight.
 * Kellam: Laurent... Then it's a good thing your father came along, isn't it?
 * Laurent: Hm?
 * Kellam: I thought you would be worn down to nothing from all the fighting... But you and your friends were full of fight just a moment ago. So what happened? It's because I'm here, isn't it?
 * Laurent: Y-yes... I suppose that's true. I'm not sure what came over me...
 * Kellam: Well, don't worry. I won't tell the others about your little moment of weakness.
 * Laurent: Heh. Thank you...
 * Kellam: You've fought brilliantly so far. And now victory is right within your grasp. All you have to do is take it. Are you ready to save Ylisse? I'll be right there by your side.
 * Laurent: Yes, Father! Let us put an end to Grima once and for all.

Donnel

 * Donnel: Laurent? You're all right!
 * Laurent: I know that voice... Father? But no.. My father is dead. And anyway, you are far too young... Hmm. Father never spoke of a younger brother. And yet, nor do you bear the telltale signs of a Risen... This raises troubling questions. Very troubling...
 * Donnel: Uh, Laurent? Snap out of it! I done came from another world! I'm here to help ya out.
 * Laurent: There are other worlds?
 * Donnel: Yep! I don't get it neither. I just sorta roll with these things.
 * Laurent: Well, that explains why you look so young... Anyway, you need to take shelter, and quickly. You've come to a very dangerous place.
 * Donnel: Well, shucks, I know THAT! That's the whole reason I'm here! I'm not gonna leave my only son to face this nightmare alone.
 * Laurent: But you'll... Listen, I have already been through this once.
 * Donnel: I get it. You're worried I'll die like the Donny of this world did.
 * Laurent: ......
 * Donnel: Right?
 * Laurent: It's difficult not to. Every night I relive that scene in my sleep. You have your back to us as Mother and I flee... You're holding them off. And then I s-see it... The blade passing through your body... I can't endure that torture again. I won't!
 * Donnel: Well, don't you worry. Lighting don't strike twice, and I won't die twice. I reckon I'm a lot stronger than the Donny ya remember! Also, I ain't alone this time. I got a whole darn army with me! They got my back, just like I got yours.
 * Laurent: But...
 * Donnel: If you're that worried about it, you can watch my back too. Any son of Miriel oughta be able to analyze the enemy in a heartbeat! I tend to rush into things, so havin' a keen pair of eyes sure would help.
 * Laurent: All right. I can agree to that. Thank you, Father! You can count on me.
 * Donnel: Likewise!

Lon'qu

 * Lon'qu: Laurent.
 * Laurent: Huh? ...Father?! No, that isn't possible. I must be seeing a ghost. Or worse...a Risen!
 * Lon'qu: I can understand why you would jump to such conclusions. Your father is dead. But I'm neither a ghost nor a Risen. Nor am I even him. I came here from another world. Your father and I are different Lon'qus.
 * Laurent: Then why would you come to a dismal world like mine?
 * Lon'qu: To fight. That is always my reason.
 * Laurent: No, Father! You mustn't. Not this time. My world is too dangerous. There's no reason for you to get killed!
 * Lon'qu: If it's that dangerous, do you really intend to fight this battle without help?
 * Laurent: Yes. I would rather lose this battle than go through losing you again.
 * Lon'qu: Then you're a fool! If darling notions like that fill your head, it's a wonder you still live.
 * Laurent: Wh-what?
 * Lon'qu: Whether or not we survive a life-or-death battle comes down to fate. But death is a near certainty without the will to win! Remember that.
 * Laurent: I-I know that, Father. I'm sorry.
 * Lon'qu: ...So am I. I should not have raised my voice. The warrior in me simply wishes for you to bear yourself with strength. Your dead father would have wanted the same, I am sure.
 * Laurent: He would. And I have done my best to live up to those expectations. It seems I still have a ways to go. I suppose I should feel slighted or embarrassed. But in way, I'm happy. You have reminded me that I still have room to grow, which is exciting.
 * Lon'qu: Miriel was always trying to better herself. You take after her as much as me.
 * Laurent: Well, you both certainly liked to scold me. It wasn't until just now that I realized how much I have missed it.
 * Lon'qu: Really? This is my first time scolding my son.
 * Laurent: Ha ha! Is it too late to caution you away from the habit? I suppose I should be honored I stole first dibs from your real son.
 * Lon'qu: And I suppose I should be ashamed for being so heavy handed.
 * Laurent: As I said, I missed it. I feel like I really am your son. And that gives me the courage to finish this fight. ...I have changed my mind. Will you fight with me after all?
 * Lon'qu: Gladly.
 * Laurent: Thank you, Father.

Ricken

 * Ricken: Laurent, is that you? I'm so glad you're safe!
 * Laurent: How do you know my name? And what are you doing here? You're just a child!
 * Ricken: Am not! It's me. Ricken. Your father!
 * Laurent: M-my father? Don't be ridiculous. My father passed away. Unless... Are you his reincarnation? That would be fascinating...
 * Ricken: Ha ha... I suppose it would, but no. I'm just me. I came here from another world where I'm still young. So you see, I'm not really the same person as your father.
 * Laurent: Fair enough. Well, I'm still glad I got to see you again, Father. But it's not safe for you here. Taller men than you have faced Grima and perished. Stay behind me. I will protect you.
 * Ricken: W-wait a second! You've got this all backward! The whole point of my coming here was so I could protect YOU!
 * Laurent: Perhaps it wasn't. Perhaps you true role here is to give me strength and courage.
 * Ricken: Right. And maybe I can draw pretty pictures of rainbows for you too.
 * Laurent: Father, do you know why I became a mage? I never had a gist for magic like you or mother. In fact, she told me I was not suited for it. I lacked the substance. Nonetheless, I persisted. Why do you suppose that is?
 * Ricken: Uh... You were bored?
 * Laurent: No, It's because you were always looking over my shoulder while I practiced. You were there to encourage me after every failure, to ensure I never gave up. You molded me into the resilient fighter who stands before you now. This is fact, not flattery.
 * Ricken: Well...thank you.
 * Laurent: So now you get to look over my shoulder again. I want you to see that your patience and guidance paid off. I use wind magic. It used to be my worst element, but now it's my best. You were the same, weren't you?
 * Ricken: Uh-huh... *sniff* And yes... I would love for you to sh-show me.
 * Laurent: Why are you crying?
 * Ricken: I'm just so happy! In this world, Miriel and I are gone. But here you are picking up where we left off. Carrying on! Laurent, please let me fight too. I want to protect you! I'm your f-father, for gods' sake! Ahh... *sob*
 * Laurent: I suppose you still have some growing up to do where you came from. But you have the same gentle hands, the same keen gaze... I wish I were your son in a world where we could spend more time together. ... Thank you for coming for me. I'll always remember this, even if you forget me once you return.

Gaius

 * Gaius: Laurent! It's good to see you still breathing.
 * Laurent: Huh? Father?!
 * Gaius: Not quite. I'm not really part of this world, you see. I travelled here from another world. So I'm Gaius... but not the Gaius you were hoping for. ... Sorry.
 * Laurent: I see...
 * Gaius: For what it's worth, though, I'm here to help you and your friends. My skills are at your disposal. I'll hold off the Risen while you recover your strength.
 * Laurent: Can I ask you something first?
 * Gaius: Hm? What's on your mind?
 * Laurent: In this world, my father died protecting me. Would you do the same thing as him?
 * Gaius: .....
 * Laurent: I want an answer.
 * Gaius: I guess... I wouldn't.
 * Laurent: Oh...
 * Gaius: I can't tell if you're happy or disappointed. But listen... I don't have any attention of abandoning you. I just intend to look out for myself while I look out for you.
 * Laurent: I'm sorry?
 * Gaius: I don't want to watch you die, but I also don't relish the idea of dying in your place. So I guess I'll just have to work twice as hard. Happy?
 * Laurent: Father, I... *sniff*
 * Gaius: What's gotten into you now?
 * Laurent: I... I... Nothing, I j-just... Something about the way you said that just made me realize how much I've missed you.
 * Gaius: Well, don't get so worked up. You'll live longer. Miriel does enough of that for the whole family.
 * Laurent: You were always the tough one.
 * Gaius: Heh, then you don't know your mother. Anyway, we need to get back on task here. See all those Risen?
 * Laurent: You'll help me defeat them?
 * Gaius: You bet your cupcakes I will.

Libra

 * Libra: Laurent, is that you?
 * Laurent: F...Father?
 * Libra: Thank the gods you are safe. I feared that last attack had done you in.
 * Laurent: Father, what are you doing here?! Has some miracle of the gods brought you back from the dead?
 * Libra: A miracle like that is beyond the divine dragon herself. I come from another world, son. I am not your true father.
 * Laurent: You crossed from another world? That is a small miracle in itself, if you ask me.
 * Libra: Yes, it is. But even Naga's power is not without limit. I doubt I will be able to remain here for long. But will you let me fight for you as long as I can to keep you safe?
 * Laurent: No, Father. You have your own life in your own world... You should return to it. I needn't explain to you how perilous my world really is.
 * Libra: Why do you think I came here in the first place?
 * Laurent: But I don't want you to die!
 * Libra: I am not afraid of dying if it means protecting my beloved son. Let the gods take me, if that is their will.
 * Laurent: Father! I'm not even your real son! I don't deserve such favors.
 * Libra: Of course you do, Laurent. I could have a million sons, and each would yet be my own.
 * Laurent: You really mean it, don't you... Well know this. I am prepared to die protecting you as well. Let an age of peace dawn without me, if it means I get to save you.
 * Libra: Don't... don't say that!
 * Laurent: See how it feels? Now promise me you'll speak no more of dying. I watched one father's life blink out and haven't the stomach to do it again.
 * Libra: All right. Before the gods, I swear I will not perish this day. Now are you ready, Laurent? Let us fight together now to find a ray of light in this dismal mess.
 * Laurent: I'm ready, Father. Thank you.

Henry

 * Henry: Laurent, you're all right! Whew, you really gave me a scare.
 * Laurent: F-Father? ...Is that really you?
 * Henry: Well, I don't know who else it would be!
 * Laurent: But...you're dead. You died ages ago! Or have you used your dark arts to...to summon yourself back from the netherworld?
 * Henry: Nya ha! That does sound like fun, but I'm afraid no such spell exists. Or at least I haven't found it. But you're right about the summoning-from-another-world part!
 * Laurent: I have a father in another world?
 * Henry: You sure-dippity do! I heard you were in trouble, so I came to this world to help you. Now just point me at the Risen you want me to obliterate!
 * Laurent: Uh, Father... Believe me when I say I am truly ecstatic to see you again. But I am not about to put you in danger on my behalf! Never again.
 * Henry: Uh, sorry? I don't follow.
 * Laurent: It's dangerous here. You could die! I could not bear to...to lose you a second time.
 * Henry: Thanks for the vote of confidence, Laurent! How do you know I won't survive? I thought this was your big, epic clash. Aren't you here to win?
 * Laurent: Of course I am, but—
 * Henry: Then when someone offers to help, stop trying to show them the proverbial door. Are you gonna risk losing everything just to save me?
 * Laurent: That's not the point—
 * Henry: You're a smart kid, Laurent. Too smart to squander a good resource. That much of Miriel lives on in you. So while I appreciate you not wanting to thrust me toward a messy death, you really can't afford to be that nice in the icky business of saving the world. Now put your emotions aside, and try to think rationally. Are you gonna let me help?
 * Laurent: ......Yes. You have the right of it. Help me defeat the fell dragon, Father. Help me save our world.
 * Henry: Now we're talking! Stand back, and watch me mow your enemies down!
 * Laurent: Thank you. But promise me you won't do anything reckless. ...You know what? Strike that. Do whatever you have to do, and I promise to keep you safe.
 * Henry: Still trying to look out for me, huh? Well, I guess I can't change you with just one pep talk. But that tender heart of yours will serve you well in the better world to come. Now we just have to win it!

Ylisstol

 * Chrom: *Huff, huff* Is it over?
 * Grima: Nngh... Gyaaahhh... HOW?! This is not YOUR WORLD... YOU SHOULD NOT be able TO DRAW UPON this kind OF POWER! ...Just wait. I am NOT FINISHED with YOU YET. No matter HOW YOU STRUGGLE, I WILL see you DESTROYED! ...Now DIEEEEEEE!
 * Chrom: ...Ahh! ...... Huh? Why isn't he/she attacking?
 * Grima: ...Run...Chrom...
 * Chrom: What?
 * Grima: You have to...get away from me...
 * Chrom: Wh-what are you talking about?
 * Grima: ...There's...no time... ...I don't want...to kill you... ...I can't bear...to watch you... ...die again...
 * Chrom: No. That voice... It can't be... Whoa!
 * (Shepherds disappear)

Outrealm Gate

 * Chrom: Rrgh... Are we back in our world?
 * Naga: Warriors? Why have you returned? ...Did you fail in your task?!
 * Chrom: I can't be certain... We were fighting, and then a great force spirited us away.
 * Naga: The fell dragon sent you back.
 * Chrom: Yes, but...I think he was trying to save us. ...Huh? Who's there? Show yourself!
 * Tiki: ......
 * Naga: Tiki? But...you died in that world.
 * Tiki: Yes. And now only my spirit remains. But I came here to tell you something important before I take your place there. Before I become tied to that world forever...
 * Naga: Take my place?
 * Tiki: You know what I mean. And why.
 * Naga: ......
 * Tiki: But everything will turn out all right. We have you to thank for that, Naga, for sending help. And you, brave warriors, for giving it. In our world, Naga is dead, but you fought in her stead and gave us hope. We cannot thank you enough. But we will always remember—
 * (Tiki leaves)
 * Chrom: Huh? She's gone! What just happened?
 * Naga: ...We won.
 * Chrom: Huh?
 * Naga: Their world is about to be saved.
 * Chrom: I don't understand...
 * Naga: Somehow your efforts have pulled them out of the pit of despair...
 * Chrom: So they'll all be safe?
 * Naga: I am certain of it now. Thank you, Chrom. And you, Avatar. I was right to place my trust in you.

Ylisstol

 * Lucina: Father? ...Father! Where did he go?
 * Grima: He must have escaped to his own world... The former owner of this body appears to still have a faint hold on it... Damn him/her! I wanted to savor killing Chrom all over again!
 * Lucina: I would never let that happen!
 * Grima: Heh. You know, the man/woman who used to control this body loved your father. He/she would have died to protect Chrom. And in sending Chrom away just now, his/her spirit has finally perished. ...Now the games will cease. The only world in which you'll see your father again is the WORLD OF DEATH! ...Mmgh? What?
 * Lucina: It can't be...
 * Cynthia: We're back, Lucina! Sorry we're late!
 * Lucina: Cynthia! Nah! Kjelle! Noire! You're all safe! Oh, thank the gods!
 * Grima: Impossible! You should all be dead by now... Naga! She must have interfered! Which means Morgan has failed me...
 * Kjelle: Nice shot, Noire. I thought for certain we were out of range.
 * Noire: Hee hee. I'm just glad I could help...
 * Severa: Well, nice of you to take your TIME! Do you know how worried we've been?
 * Cynthia: Hey, no need to worry. We've got the Gemstones right here.
 * Nah: That's right! Are you ready to perform the Awakening?
 * Lucina: Not yet... We still need Argent and Sable...
 * Inigo: ...You mean this Argent and Sable?
 * Lucina: Inigo! Owain! Brady! Yarne!
 * Inigo: We saw Grima attack Ylisstol and came as fast as we could. Sorry we couldn't make it sooner!
 * Gerome: Nothing can kill you, can it?
 * Owain: Of course not! But a true vanquisher of evil must wait for the moment of truth before he can triumph.
 * Laurent: Heh. Vanquisher of evil? You're a wreck. All of you are. ...But are least we're together again.
 * Yarne: That's right! I sure am glad none of you are extinct...
 * Brady: Did somebody order some Gemstones? Catch, Lucina!
 * Lucina: Thank you, Brady! All of you—you've all done magnificently. The Fire Emblem and its true power finally belong to Ylisse again!
 * Grima: Grr...
 * (Note: The line below changes depending on the Avatar's gender.)
 * Male Grima: So the Morgan I sent after your group failed as well. So much for manipulating the children's sympathies...
 * Female Grima: Morgan has failed me twice... So much for manipulating the child's sympathies...
 * Grima: But it matters little. The Fire Emblem gives you no power over me. ...Not now that Naga is dead.
 * Lucina: Sh-she...what?
 * Grima: I killed that meddling dragon ages ago. Did you really think I would let her live and risk someone performing the Awakening?
 * Lucina: Y-you're lying...
 * Grima: Ha... I'm sure you wish I were. But this time I speak the truth. Your only hope died with her.
 * Lucina: Then...everything we have done... It was meaningless?
 * Grima: Completely, utterly meaningless! I will grant you no escape from this coil of despair. Each and every one of you is destined to die here and now!
 * Tiki: Wrong, Grima! You have not accounted for everything.
 * Grima: What? The Voice of Naga!
 * Lucina: Lady Tiki!
 * Tiki: I will help you perform the Awakening...as this world's new Naga.
 * Grima: There IS no new Naga! I killed you!
 * Tiki: You took my life, but not my spirit. The man/woman inside you—Avatar—intervened. He/she wanted me to be here to ensure your destruction, fell dragon.
 * Grima: NO! Is there no end to his/her meddling?! I-it doesn't matter! None of this matters! You need to be on Mount Prism to perform the Awakening! And I will kill YOU ALL before you get there!
 * Tiki: Wrong again. You forget why the exalts performed the rites on Mount Prism in the first place. It was because the divine dragon's power was strongest there. But now that Risen have defiled it, the mount no longer has any power. Naga's power has focused elsewhere in response. Do you know where? Inside the remains of the Voice, which you were foolish enough to leave... Right here. In Ylisstol.
 * Grima: Wha—?!
 * Tiki: If you had left Mount Prism alone, Grima, you might have stood a chance. Instead, you have brought the Awakening right to your feet. Are you ready, Lucina? Speak the words.
 * Lucina: I am ready.
 * Grima: No! I will not leave you the time! I WILL KILL YOU! ...Huh? Why can't I move? My body is...nngh... No! Not now! Why does he/she KEEP INTERFERING...
 * (Fire Emblem CG)
 * Lucina: ...Hear me, Tiki! I bear proof of our sacred covenant! In the name of the exalted blood, I ask for the divine dragon's power! Baptize me in fire, that I may become your true daughter!
 * (Lucina's Awakening CG)
 * Tiki: Awakener, your heart has been tested and deemed worthy. Cleansed in my fire, your desire has proven to burn the stronger. I shall now imbue your blade with my power.
 * Lucina: Thank you, milady!
 * Grima: Rrgh... NOOOOOO! I would CRUSH YOU WORMS if I...could just...CONTROL my BODY... Why does he/she STILL REFUSE to become one with me? Why does he/she INTERFERE?! Damn you, Avatar! You...will...PAAAAAAY!
 * Tiki: Now, Lucina! Your first task as exalt is at hand! Wipe the fell dragon from existence, and usher hope back into the land!
 * Cynthia: That's right, Lucina! Show Grima what a real hero can do!
 * Kjelle: You will prevail. We'll all be right by your side!
 * Noire: Avenge the fallen! Fight for those we loved and lost!
 * Nah: Return our pain and suffering on that monster a hundredfold!
 * Owain: Use that sword to sunder the dark shackles of fate and deliver us!
 * Inigo: Put an end to despair so that Ylisse can be full of smiles again!
 * Brady: It ain't over yet, but it's about to be! I know you're gonna pull this off!
 * Yarne: The fell dragon will never stop us from living in happiness again!
 * Laurent: One miracle after another has made this possible. Now, it's time for one more!
 * Gerome: Go, and do what our parents could not.
 * Severa: I believe in you, Lucina! So you'd better not let me down!
 * Grima: ...... ...I'm ready, Lucina... ...Finish it...
 * Lucina: I swear to you all...our days of defeat end here. Father, Mother...watch over me. Because today—right now—I'm taking our world BACK!
 * (Lucina slays Grima)
 * Grima: ...At last...I can rest... ...No one else...will suffer... ...because of me... ...Thank...you... ...I hope your lives are...filled... ...with...joy... ...... ...... ...Morgan...please forgive me... ...I put you through...so...much... ...... ......
 * Lucina: ...It's over. Peace at last... I can't believe it. I've done it, Father...
 * Tiki: Well done, Lucina. You have saved the world... All of you.
 * Lucina: Lady Tiki! It wasn't us. We have you to thank...and those warriors who came to our aid. Without them, we would have perished, and all hopes for the future with us.
 * Tiki: Perhaps. But we only had the chance to help you because you held fast. Even against the odds, you refused to give up. You should be proud. From this day on, you shall be the pillars on which a peaceful future is built.
 * Lucina: And you as well, milady.
 * Tiki: No, Lucina. My role is finished. I cannot stay here with you. Remember, I am no longer the divine dragon's Voice, but she herself. I must not meddle in human affairs.
 * Lucina: But, milady!
 * Tiki: Don't worry, Lucina. I'll always be watching over you. Just as the Hero-King and your father continue to do so. I may be out of reach, but I will always be close.
 * Lucina: Lady Tiki... Thank you... As long as you're watching, I will not let you down. I promise to bring this world to an era of peace that can never be broken!
 * Tiki: And I know you will. May we one day meet again, Lucina. There will always be a place for the Twelve Heroes at Naga's side.
 * (Lucina's victory CG)
 * Lucina: ......
 * Severa: She's gone.
 * Lucina: Yes. She will be missed. But... I believe we will see her again.
 * Severa: Me too. And we'll certainly have our hands full in the meantime. After all, we just saved the world! I bet Mother and Father never expected me to do anything even half as amazing as this. ...You see that? I'm not such a letdown of a daughter...after all... *Sniff* I...I just wish they were here...
 * Gerome: Well, there's no bringing them back. But we can keep them alive by protecting this world they dreamed of and died for. Isn't that right, Minerva?
 * (Minerva cries out)
 * Gerome: I agree. They'll be watching over us every step of the way.
 * Laurent: It's so strange... I feel like I've stepped into another existence. All of our struggles...our battles with the Risen, our Journey into Plegia... They already feel like they happened to someone else. I used to wish that I would wake up to find it had all been a nightmare. But now when I wake, I shall be overjoyed at the knowledge that this is no dream.
 * Lucina: Indeed. What matters is that this is real. Had I lost even one of you along the way, we would not be here. Each of you played an irreplaceable part in this victory. Thank you. Ylisse and I are so lucky to have you.
 * Cynthia: And we're lucky to have you! You're the hero of all heroes!
 * Kjelle: I am proud to know you all. Your strength and determination inspire me.
 * Noire: I'm just glad everyone is safe. There were times when I assumed the worst...
 * Nah: We'll never be apart again. And our whole lives are ahead of us.
 * Owain: I just... Argh, there are no words! Curse these tears that flow unbidden!
 * Inigo: Well, enjoy it. I'm hoping this will be our last cry in a good long while.
 * Brady: Damn right! *Sniff* I'm gonna let it all out right now!
 * Yarne: Thank the gods we've all survived. I could do somersaults!
 * Lucina: Hee hee. Well, we should be off. Night will fall soon—our first peaceful night for as long as I can remember. We need to tell as many people as we can, so that they, too, can rest at ease. Tomorrow, a new sun will rise on Ylisse. Many did not survive to see it... But those of us who will must dedicate our lives to protecting that light. ...... Tiki, my friends... I thank you again. And you, Father... You who crossed between worlds to save me. May the gods keep you safe.

Epilogue

 * Laurent: Where is everyone? They're late.
 * Noire: But, Laurent... The meeting doesn't start for another 10 minutes.
 * Laurent: Well, they ought to be early so we can start on time! The Shepherds don't gather just for ceremony, you know. It's been less than a year since we defeated Grima... Already they're acting as if the world is immune to crisis!
 * Noire: I-I'm sorry...
 * Laurent: You don't need to apologize, Noire. You got here even earlier than I did.
 * Noire: Well, I figured I could work on these while I waited...
 * Laurent: Oh, that's right. I'd heard you started making good-luck charms for the people. I'm told they're quite the hit. It must be that happiness curse you put on them. Can I have a look at that one?
 * Noire: DESIST, FOOL! YOUR CLUMSY HANDS WILL ONLY DESTROY MY CREATION.
 * Laurent: Eek! Right, then...
 * Kjelle: Well, you two are early. I thought I would be the first here.
 * Noire: Hello, Kjelle. Have you finished evaluating the new recruits?
 * Kjelle: I have. They're quite tough! Although that probably goes without saying, considering the horrors they have survived. They'll make fine Shepherds. Don't you agree, Owain?
 * Owain: Yep. They were, uh...something.
 * Noire: That's all you have yo say? They were "something"? ...Who are you, and what have you done with Owain?
 * Kjelle: Haven't you heard? Owain's world has been shattered.
 * Laurent: Shattered? How?
 * Owain: You don't understand... The world finally SPEAKS MY LANGUAGE.
 * Laurent: Huh?
 * Owain: Now when I say, "My sword hand twitches," people don't look at me funny. They say, "Lord Owain will show the forces of evil what's what," or... "Don't mess with the blood of the exalt!" ...They actually say what I expect them to! I don't know how to cope.
 * Kjelle: Well, enjoy it while you can. They novelty will wear off soon enough.
 * Owain: Heh. That's what you think. I'm already toying with the idea of adapting my adventures for the theater. Just imagine: Tales of the Great and Mighty Owain—now with song and dance!
 * Laurent: I'd...rather not imagine that, actually...
 * Kjelle: Is that...Inigo and Brady and Yarne? Hey! Over here!
 * Inigo: It's good to see you all again! How long has it been?
 * Brady: Feels like just yesterday we were fightin' that evil dragon, yeah?
 * Yarne: Shh! Keep it down, Brady! You're gonna give away my position!
 * Owain: What, are you still worried about going extinct?
 * Yarne: Are you kidding? No! I'm trying to get away from those lunatic conservationists.
 * Inigo: Apparently, the Ylisseans found out how rare Yarne's species is. Now they've started a Save the Taguel foundation.
 * Yarne: If I try to eat something even remotely suspect, they pin me to the ground! They won't let me shape-shift, either, in case I "become a target." I'm so sick of being treated like a pet, I could retch...
 * Noire: Not exactly a dream come true, huh?
 * Yarne: It's nice to not worry about dying out, but they follow me everywhere. ...And I mean EVERYWHERE.
 * Nah: I know the feeling.
 * Yarne: Nah!
 * Nah: It's good to see you all.
 * Laurent: You too, but...
 * Brady: Those are some serious bags under your eyes there. What gives?
 * Nah: Tell me about it. I can barely sleep. Now that Lady Tiki is gone, everyone has started worshipping me. Worshipping! They think I'm the new Voice. I can't so much as step outside without being hounded...
 * Yarne: Finally, someone who understands my pain! The rest of you are lucky you're human.
 * Nah: Then again, they give me absolutely anything I ask for, which is kind of nice. Let me know if you need anything, I've got you covered.
 * Yarne: On second thought, you don't understand my pain at all...
 * (Minerva cries out)
 * Yarne: Wh-what was that screech? An enemy?!
 * Gerome: How dare you speak so rudely of such a fine creature.
 * Yarne: Ack! Stranger danger! Whoever you are, stay away!
 * Gerome: ...Hm?
 * Nah: Yarne's right. I don't recognize him either.
 * Kjelle: Are you one of the new recruits? I'll find someone to take care of you.
 * Gerome: ......
 * Owain: Sorry for the trouble, but there are a few papers you'll need to fill out first...
 * Gerome: ...Are you all DAFT? It's me. ...Gerome!
 * Owain: G-Gerome? Oh yeah... I guess you were sorta...shaped like that.
 * Noire: Where's your mask, Gerome?
 * Gerome: I decided I no longer need it. I haven't worn it in some time, actually. To be honest, it made it uh...it made it kind of hard to see the wyverns...
 * Noire: And how is the wyvern conservation project going?
 * Gerome: Well enough. Truthfully, the best part of taking off my mask is that no one recognizes me. No one treates me like a hero. I am completely, blissfully anonymous!
 * Kjelle: Lucky you! Perhaps we all should have worn masks during our struggles. Or maybe we should all go buy some right now...
 * Inigo: Oh, yes. I'm sure THAT will stop us from standing out. Anyway, I like being a celebrity. The house is always packed when Grima's slayer takes the dance floor!
 * Nah: You finally became a dancer?
 * Inigo: I became someone who dances, anyway. It makes people smile, and that makes me happy too. If things go well, I might start taking offers to dance at festivals.
 * Nah: That would be amazing! Just think of all the girls who would throw themselves at your feet.
 * Inigo: Hmm... I'm sort of over all that. Well, not quite over it, but...
 * Nah: Wait a second... The world's most notorious womanizer has retired?!
 * Inigo: It's just...now that I dance, girls smile back even without a terrible pickup line. And besides, I'm busy with my Shepherd duties and dance practice and the like.
 * Brady: No kiddin'. You messed up your steps in the third song in today's set.
 * Inigo: Was it that obvious?
 * Brady: Was it obvious?! I thought I was playin' the wrong song, you klutz! Mess up all you want in practice, but you better shape up for the real deal. ...Although I could stand to work on my playin' a bit too.
 * Inigo: Yes, it would probably help if you gave up weeping during your own accompaniment.
 * Laurent: Brady's playing for you?
 * Brady: Yeah. I write the songs and play violin, and he dances alone. I always wanted to be a composer, so it was a good fit. Ma wanted it too...when she was alive.
 * Noire: Well, I think it's wonderful you both made your dreams come true.
 * Brady: Thanks. ...I brew a mean cuppa tea too, ya know. One of these days i'll run with that. But right now I got other things on the slate.
 * Inigo: Owain's going to join us, he said. What was the idea again?
 * Owain: I'm going to immortalize my numerous adventures in song and dance. My vocal cords twitch!
 * Kjelle: Here we go again...
 * Laurent: So is everyone here? We should get started.
 * Lucina: Pardon me, but might I join you?
 * Laurent: ...Ah!
 * Inigo: Lucina?!
 * Brady: Shouldn't you be in the castle?
 * Lucina: Don't worry. I've left Ylisstol in the hands of capable soldiers. It'll be fine while I'm away.
 * Gerome: We're not worried about Ylisstol. We're worried about you! As gifted as you are with a sword, the exalt shouldn't be walking around alone.
 * Lucina: Who said I was alone?
 * Gerome: Huh?
 * Cynthia: Ta-daaa! Say hello to Cynthia of the ALL NEW Ylissean Pegasus Knights!
 * Kjelle: Cynthia?! Where did you come from?
 * Cynthia: Great entrance, right?! I always dreamed Phila's knights would one day ride again. And hey, if Shepherds get another shot, who says the pegasus knights can't too?
 * Lucina: Cynthia begged me, and I just couldn't say no.
 * Cynthia: Hey, either way, you need protection, right? Win-win. Me and my sisters won't let anyone put a scratch on you!
 * Noire: Sisters? Who else is in the pegasus knights?
 * Severa: ......
 * Noire: Severa? I was wondering why I hadn't seen you at the Shepherds' camp. You enlisted in the pegasus knights?
 * Severa: Does it matter? Yeesh, I wasn't about to say no to Cynthia. And don't get it in your head that I want to be like my mother.
 * Noire: Heh. Why would I ever think that?
 * Cynthia: Severa's AMAZING, you guys. She handles a lance better than anyone, and you should see her toss a javelin! I bet Cordelia herself couldn't throw half as far. The rest of us have a lot of catching up to do.
 * Nah: I can see the capital is in good hands!
 * Lucina: And I am too. So put your worries to rest. And really, can you blame me for coming? You gather everyone together and don't even invite me? I've missed you!
 * Owain: You take after your father, Lucina. At least from what I've heard. ...Anyway, here we all are. The Twelve Heroes! Let's get this meeting started, Laurent.
 * Laurent: Right you are. Thank you for all coming to this regular meeting of the Shepherds... ...And next, I have a report about the restoration of Mount Prism, which is—
 * (Minerva cries out)
 * Laurent: ...Gerome. Please keep your mount quiet during the meeting.
 * Gerome: Sorry. ...What is it, Minerva? ...What?! This is bad. Minerva says she senses Risen nearby!
 * Lucina: Huh?!
 * Gerome: Just a few of them, but... Damn! I thought we got rid of them all!
 * Yarne: I guess peace is an ongoing project.
 * Inigo: We'll finish them off. These things take time.
 * Owain: And so the mighty heroes fought on, uncertain as to when their tale would end...
 * Brady: Hmph. Let the Risen come! We'll knock 'em into next week.
 * Nah: It has been a while since we've really flexed our muscles, hasn't it?
 * Kjelle: I know. I'm going to enjoy scattering these scoundrels.
 * Noire: I'm glad I brought my bow.
 * Laurent: Now hold on just a moment! You're not ALL marching out there, are you? It's just a handful of Risen.
 * Brady: Hey, ya never can be too sure!
 * Yarne: We shouldn't spare any resources when it comes to keeping the locals safe.
 * Gerome: Better too many of us than too few.
 * Inigo: Yes, Laurent. So stop complaining and get your equipment!
 * Laurent: What? I didn't volunteer! *Sigh* Oh, all right...
 * Owain: Look out, vile Risen! Chrom's New Shepherds are about to ruin your day!
 * Cynthia: Um, Lucina...
 * Lucina: What's wrong, Cynthia?
 * Cynthia: Do you think they'll be all right?
 * Severa: Against a handful of Risen? I think they can handle things. Come on. They haven't even been gone an hour. ...Or wait, let me guess. You want an excuse to try out your new battle cries?
 * Cynthia: Th-that is NOT TRUE. I'm just worried. That's all.
 * Lucina: It's all right, Cynthia. I understand. Go check on our friends. Consider that an order from your exalt.
 * Cynthia: You mean it? Thanks, Lucina!
 * (Cynthia leaves)
 * Severa: You sure you should be sending one of your guards away?
 * Lucina: I still have you, Severa. And let's not forget I have myself. I've smashed apart my share of Risen.
 * Severa: Ha! If they think the exalt's an easy target, they're in for a nasty surprise. You don't even need pegasus knights, do you? Not really.
 * Lucina: Of course I need you. You're the source of my strength.
 * Severa: Mm-hmm.
 * Lucina: I mean it.
 * Severa: ...If you say so. Well, Cynthia's got her orders, so why don't you and I wait for her at the castle? I'll give you a ride. Let me just get saddled up, and I'll be right back.
 * Lucina: Thank you, Severa.
 * (Severa leaves)
 * Lucina: ...... The sky is lovely today. Isn't it, Father? I cannot tell you how happy I am—how lucky I am to be safe with my friends. But I feel guilty too. Guilty knowing that you and Mother and so many others cannot share in this joy. If only this sword of mine would glow again, and bring the REAL you here to my side. ...It's a silly wish, isn't it? Even an exalt has her flights of fancy, I suppose...
 * Severa: Lucina! All ready!
 * Lucina: I'll be right there!
 * (Lucina and Severa leave)
 * Chrom: ...... The sky IS lovely, Lucina. Just the sort of sky we fought to see again. But I am already at your side, my daughter. I always will be. Your sword may not flash, and you may not hear my voice. But all my friends are just a whisper away, watching over you. ...Isn't that right, Avatar?
 * Avatar: ...... ...Always.
 * (Screen fades to "Fin")

Ylisstol

 * Chrom: *Huff, huff* Is it over?
 * Grima: Nngh... Gyaaahhh... HOW?! This is not YOUR WORLD... YOU SHOULD NOT be able TO DRAW UPON this kind OF POWER! ...Just wait. I am NOT FINISHED with YOU YET. No matter HOW YOU STRUGGLE, I WILL see you DESTROYED! ...Now DIEEEEEEE!
 * Chrom: ...Ahh! ...... Huh? Why isn't he/she attacking?
 * Grima: ...Run...Chrom...
 * Chrom: What?
 * Grima: You have to...get away from me...
 * Chrom: Wh-what are you talking about?
 * Grima: ...There's...no time... ...I don't want...to kill you... ...I can't bear...to watch you... ...die again...
 * Chrom: No. That voice... It can't be... Whoa!
 * (Shepherds disappear)
 * Lucina: Father? ...Father! Where did he go?
 * Grima: ...He's...safe...
 * Lucina: You mean...you're the one who...
 * Grima: ...Yes...I sent him back to his own world...before I could do him harm...
 * Lucina: But...Grima would never let the exalt leave here alive!
 * Grima: ...... ...No... He would not... ...Please...you must listen... ...I have been dealt a grievous blow... ...and must...sleep... ...That is your only chance... ...You must complete the Awakening... ...before my slumbering ends...
 * Lucina: Why are you telling me this?
 * Grima: ...Because I must be destroyed... ...and you are the only hope of it...
 * Lucina: What? But...
 * Grima: ...I murdered your father... ...just as I murdered legions of Ylisseans... ...I snuffed out the very Voice of the divine dragon... ...and I just finished killing the friends you sent for the Gemstones...
 * Lucina: No...
 * Grima: ...Don't you hate me? ...I'm the cause of all this... ...If it weren't for me, you would never have had to take up the sword... ...You and your loved ones would be living in peace... ...I am to blame for everything... ...You must destroy me, Lucina...
 * Lucina: You needn't tell me how much I hate you... I...LOATHE you... But... If you were really Grima, why would you seek your own demise... And why does your voice now seem so...so painfully familiar? You're a human, aren't you—a person, like us? Grima is using you to—
 * Grima: ...I am Grima! There is nothing human about me!
 * Lucina: ......
 * Grima: ...I have always been the fell dragon... ...since the day I was born... ...I wish that I were human! That I could have lived a normal life with you! ...But I'm not, and I can't...
 * Lucina: ...... Is there no way for me to... I mean... Can I save you if I defeat Grima?
 * Grima: ...No. As I said, Grima and I are one... ...I can speak my mind like this because we are weakened... ...but that does not mean my mind is free... ...Put aside your sympathy and finish me...
 * Lucina: There must be another way!
 * Grima: ...Why won't you listen to me? I— Nngh...
 * Lucina: What's happening?
 * Grima: CHILD OF NAGA... I will feast ON YOUR BONES before this is THROUGH...
 * Lucina: No...
 * Grima: ...Rrgh! *Huff, huff* ...You see? ...Grima is my true nature... ...We cannot be separated...
 * Lucina: ......
 * Grima: ...And now I must say farewell... ...Take care, Lucina... ...I look forward to the day that I die on your blade... ...May that day...come soon...
 * (Grima leaves)
 * Lucina: ...... As you wish, Grima. I will show you no mercy the next time we meet. I swear upon my life that I will defeat you once and for all. And then I will find a way to send you to whatever world you sent my father... Perhaps he can find a way to set the good part of you free...

Outrealm Gate

 * Naga: Welcome home, warriors. Hm? The fell dragon returned you here... Is everything all right?
 * Chrom: Yes...though there were a few surprises in the end...
 * Naga: You have done well. Thanks to you, Grima will soon enter a brief sleep... All that remains is for Lucina's friends to deliver the rest of the Gemstones. Then she can use them and the Fire Emblem to restore light to the world. You have altered their destinies. I cannot thank you enough for helping me see this task through.
 * Chrom: But some of the children, they...they didn't make it. I failed them...
 * Naga: You must not punish yourself. They all would have died had you not intervened. Even if you had saved only one, that one life would have justified your journey. If anyone has failed, it is me. You and my other believers look to me for help, yet I am powerless to give it. All I can do is watch with regret...
 * Chrom: ......
 * Naga: ...But those are my troubles, not yours. Let us hope that other children reach Lucina soon so she can perform the Awakening That will give her a chance of defeating the fell dragon once and for all. I believe their world will be saved.
 * Chrom: So do I. ...... Listen, about the fell dragon...
 * Naga: Yes?
 * Chrom: ...No, it's nothing. Never mind.
 * Naga: Perhaps it is best you not trouble yourself with Grima's secrets. If you are ready, I will send you back to the land whence you came. May the light you have brought their world soon fill yours as well...
