Chosen by Fate/Script

Endgame: Chosen by Fate

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light

Opening

• Gotoh: To make it this far, Marth… It is the measure of a true hero.
• Marth: Sage Gotoh! Why have you come to this place?
• Gotoh: Men are foolish…and I had sworn to let the affairs of the world proceed without me. But watching your struggles, I came to think perhaps I was too hasty in my judgment. I cannot defeat Medeus on my own. But I will happily lay his minions to rest. Go forth, he who has been chosen by the goddess… Altea's prince of light! Cast the Shadow Dragon back into the darkness! Bury him in the earth he crawled out from!

Medeus

Pre-Battle

“Rebels that dare disturb my repose…be consumed by the flames of hell!”
—Medeus's pre-battle quote

Defeated

“Me? Defeated? By humans… Mere humans… Take this to heart, Altean prince, inheritor of the light… One day… I will rise anew… Never forget… As long as there is light…the darkness can never be extinguished!”
—Medeus's death quote

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon

Opening

The long war had been fought, Archanea’s many lands freed, and now the League had cornered their archenemy within his castle. They broke into four groups and stormed the four gates of Dolhr Keep- unaware that this was exactly what Medeus was expecting. Bravely, these warriors fate had chosen steeled themselves for one last struggle.

Beginning of Chapter

• Marth: We made it. Now we just have to find Medeus...

If you went to Chapter 24x

(Nagi teleports into the map)

• Nagi: I can sense it...A sinister will is at work here...

If you didn’t go to Chapter 24x

(Enter Malledus)

• Malledus: Sire! Lord Gotoh is here to see you.

(Enter Gotoh)

• Gotoh: Marth, you have fought splendidly.
• Marth: Lord Gotoh?! What are you doing here?
• Gotoh: I washed my hands of humankind and their foolish ways long ago. But you and your companions have convinced me that was a rash decision. Perhaps there is hope for you yet. Allow me to offer what help I can.
• Marth: You mean you’ll fight with us?

If playing in Normal Mode

• Gotoh: Yes. I may lack the power to stop Medeus, but his minions are another story. Let this old man strike them down and clear a path for you. ...The gods have chosen you, Marth, prince of light. Go now, and win back a future for us all. Your family would be proud.
• Marth: ....!

(Flashback to all the way back in Prologue)

• Cain: His last words were as follows: “Tell my son that I leave the future of Altea and our continent in his hands.”

(Flashback to another scene in Prologue)

• Malledus: Your sister knows that you are the future of Altea- nay, the whole land!

(Back to present times)

• Marth: Come, my friends! We have a dragon to tame! Help me confine Medeus to the shadows for all eternity and bring light back into the world!

If playing in Hard Mode

• Gotoh: Yes. I may lack the power to stop Medeus, but his minions are another story. Let this old man strike them down and clear a path for you. ...The gods have chosen you, Marth, prince of light.
• Marth: Come, my friends! We have a dragon to tame! Help me confine Medeus to the shadows for all eternity and bring light back into the world!

(A scene is shown where Medeus transforms into his dragon form)

Medeus

Pre-Battle

“Foolish humans! You dare disturb me while I slumber? Oh, how you will regret it as you die slowly...painfully...writhing in the fires of the inferno!”
—Medeus's pre-battle quote

Vs. Nagi

“Hmm? So... I am not the only dragon revived. I had heard you perished the last time. No matter; you've recovered even less of your power than me. This time, you have no chance!”
—Medeus's pre-battle quote

Defeated

“Nngh... Defeated again... by humans! Know this, Altean prince... That light which surrounds you is only a temporary respite. So long as the darkness in your hearts continues to sustain me... I cannot be... destroyed...... Rrraaahhh!!!”
—Medeus's death quote
