Narration
The Kingdom army departs from the Great Bridge of Myrddian and marches south toward Enbarr, the Imperial Capital. Meanwhile, the Alliance army follows from behind to invade Imperial territory, and the Empire has dispatched forces from Fort Merceus to intercept them. The curtain is rising on a conflict between the three armies, which will come to be known as the Battle at Gronder, held on the same plains that witnessed the Battle of the Eagle and Lion.
Movie: Rematch
(Just like in the mock battle five years ago, an eagle flies overhead and lets out a cry. However, the music is much more dramatic this time when the Imperial soldiers step forth. The masked mages charge up fireballs and launch them towards the Kingdom and Alliance armies. Soldiers from both armies are hit and yell in pain from the impact of the fireballs. Amidst the flames, Dimitri is shown with his Relic on his shoulder, unfazed by the attack. He points his Relic at the opposing armies and glares at them as he speaks.)
- Dimitri: Know that I will tear your heads from your shoulders. The dead must have their tribute.
(On the Alliance side, Claude steps forth and groans at the sight of the flames and his soldiers who had fallen.)
- Claude: As big class reunions go...this one's gotta be the worst in history.
(Having made the first move, Edelgard steps forward and gives a brief speech to the opposing armies. She looks down in regret as she finishes her second sentence.)
- Edelgard: Years ago, we fought here as classmates. But not today.
(Her soldiers draw their swords and bows. Byleth whips out the Sublime Creator Sword. Dimitri looks up and prepares to give his army the order to move out.)
- Dimitri: Kill every last one of them!
(He brandishes his Relic and charges onward, with his soldiers following him. Claude gives the signal for his army to move, and he lets out a war cry as he charges forward, with his Relic at the ready. Edelgard looks up, ready to meet the opposing armies' advances.)
- Edelgard: And so we fight on.
(The camera zooms out, and her soldiers charge forth. A faraway view of Gronder Field is shown, with flames from each of the three armies, and the soldiers can be seen moving towards the center. The scene fades out and the track Between Heaven and Earth plays, a significantly more intense remix of Blue Skies and a Battle.)
Before Battle
- Dimitri: You have finally appeared Edelgard. Now you are mine.
- Claude: The Kingdom army dosen't look interested in joining forces. Let's take a moment and see how this Unfolds...
- Edelgard: It would not be advantageous to take on both at once. We must stop the Kingdom and the Alliance from joining forces. I will create such chaotic warfare that will not be able to tell who is friend and who is foe.
