Pre-Battle
Robin
Quite the bustling little town.
Chrom
The harvest must've just come in. I wager there's some good eating to be had!
Lissa
Count me in! It's been DAYS since I had a proper meal!
>scene change
Villager
Welcome to the Grub Sh—ACK! Y-you're... You're...
Chrom
Um...?
Villager
T-terribly sorry, sir, but we're closed!
Chrom
That was...odd. I guess we'll try elsewhere.
>scene change
Lucina
This place looks open, Father. ...Ooh, they have pottage!
Maiden
Eeek!
Lucina
Hmm?
Maiden
P-please, not again! We'll be ruined! This tavern is all we have! Mercy, sirs! Leave us in peace!
Chrom
People here don't seem to like us very much.
Frederick
I did a little investigating on that front, milord. It seems a band of nasty rogues have been harrying them without pause for some time. Apparently, they are led by a man who masquerades as...you.
Chrom
*Sigh* So that's what this is about. Any idea where they are?
Frederick
It seems they headed north, milord.
Chrom
Then so shall we.
>scene change
If Chrom is not Cynthia's father
Ruger
Heh heh... Another fine haul. Long live the great Chrom!
Cynthia
Chrom? Sir? Pegasus Knight Cynthia, returned from patrol, sir! ...Whoops! [Cynthia trips] Oof... Right on the face... S-sorry for my clumsiness, sir! I promise not to trip against for at least 24 hours!
Ruger
That'd be a new record... Now out with it, girl! What did you see?
Cynthia
A suspicious band of travelers have been making inquiries in town, sir.
Ruger
Oh?
Cynthia
They call their leader Chrom, sir. I suspect they are impostors posing as you! They must be stopped at once!
Ruger
Er, riiight. Posing as...me. But, uh, we don't have the men to battle these impostors right now. Best swallow our pride and exercise the better part of valor for now.
Cynthia
Levelheaded and humble as ever, sir! Allow me to draw their attention while you retreat to safety!
Ruger
Yes, yes, of course. A fine plan.
Cynthia
I won't let you down, sir!
Ruger
...... Gads, she's dumb as a brick. ...Still, full marks for enthusiasm.
>scene change
Chrom
And you are...?
Cynthia
All who would pretend to Chrom's name will answer to me for their deceit! Lay down your arms and surrender, or face judgment at my spear!
Chrom
Well, she certainly seems eager. What do you think, Robin? If she's being honestly deceived, we may be able to show her the truth.
Cynthia
Enough! In the name of my lord Chrom, cast down your sword or draw it!
If Chrom is Cynthia's father
Ruger
Heh heh... Another fine haul. Long live the great Chrom!
Cynthia
Chrom? Father? Faaather? Pegasus Knight Cynthia, returned from patrol, sir! ...Whoops! [Cynthia trips] Ooh... Right on the face... S-sorry for my clumsiness, sir! I promise not to trip again for at least 24 hours!
Ruger
That'd be a new record... Now out with it, girl! What'd you see?
Cynthia
A suspicious band of travelers have been making inquiries in town, sir.
Ruger
Oh?
Cynthia
They call their leader Chrom, sir. I suspect they are impostors posing as you! They must be stopped at once, Father!
Ruger
Cynthia, what did I say about calling me that around the men?
Cynthia
S-sorry, Father! I mean, Chrom! Milord! ...It won't happen again.
Ruger
Your mind's near as slippery as your feet... Anyway, we, uh, don't have the men to battle this impostor right now. Best swallow our pride and exercise the better part of valor for now.
Cynthia
Levelheaded and humble as ever, sir! Allow me to draw their attention while you retreat to safety!
Ruger
Yes, yes, of course. A fine plan.
Cynthia
I won't let you down, sir!
Ruger
...... ...Gads, she's dumb as a brick. Good thing her spear is sharper than her wit. Still, at least she stopped ranting about hailing from the future...
>scene change
Chrom
And you are...?
Cynthia
All who would pretend to Chrom's name will answer to me for their deceit! Lay down your arms and surrender, or face judgment at my spear!
Chrom
Well, she certainly seems eager. What do you think, Robin? If she's being honestly deceived, we may be able to show her the truth.
Cynthia
Enough! In the name of my lord Chrom, cast down your sword or draw it!
Start Battle
Ruger
Hmm? A band of mercenaries? Luck smiles on me today! A few pretty lies, and I'll have the lot of 'em fighting for me!
>Battle Start
Talk to Cynthia
Sumia
Sumia
Pardon me, but...I think you may be misinformed. Can we speak a moment?
Cynthia
Don't waste your breath! Your lies ring hollow! Your...ring? ...Ring? Y-your RING! MOTHER!
Sumia
...What?
Cynthia
It is you! Oh, Mother, you're alive! I never thought I'd see you again! I... I... *sniff* Waaaaaaaaah!
Sumia
Um...are you all right?
Cynthia
WAIT! But if you're on that side, that means... Ohmigosh. My Chrom is a FAKE! Oh, I am going to KILL him for this! I'm going to plant a flying hoof right in his stupid liar face!
Sumia
Wait! We really should... Well, at least she's not confused anymore. If only I could say the same for me...
Chrom (Normal)
Chrom
Still your spear a moment and hear me out. You've been lied to!
Cynthia
Spare me your tales, brigand! I've nothing to say to someone who would impersonate my mother's dearest friend!
Chrom
You...mother?
Cynthia
You heard me! How dare you besmirch my mother Sumia's name!
Chrom
And it all becomes clear... Well, welcome to the past.
Cynthia
Wha—?! But how could you know?
Chrom
That you came from the future? Lucina told me all about it.
Cynthia
Lucy's here?!
Chrom
In the flesh.
Cynthia
Then...you're the real Chrom?
Chrom
Last I checked.
Cynthia
Ugh, I'm so sorry! I've always been gullible, ever since I was a little girl, but... Hey! This means the other Chrom LIED! Oh, I am going to KILL him for this! I'm going to plant a flying hoof right in his stupid liar face!
Chrom (Father)
Chrom
Still your spear a moment and hear me out. You've been lied to!
Cynthia
Spare me your tales, brigand! I've nothing to say to someone who would impersonate my father!
Chrom
Your what? Oh, for the love of... How many daughters are going to come back in time to see me?
Cynthia
Huh? H-how did you know I—
Chrom
I already went through this with Lucina.
Cynthia
Lucy's here?!
Chrom
In the flesh. ...Though she neglected to mention she had a sister.
Cynthia
Wait—then you really are...! Oh, Father! I missed you SOOOOO MUUUCH!
Chrom
My...my ears...
Cynthia
I know something was fishy with that guy! He barely even smiled when I found him. My REAL father would've given me a big hug and called me his little pega-pony princess!
Chrom
...Please tell me I never actually say that.
Cynthia
You'll say it right now, if you want me to believe you're the real Chrom!
Chrom
Um... It's...it's good to see you, my... Um... My little pega-pony princess...
Cynthia
Aww, it's good to see you too, Father! I can't believe I fell for that lying creep's lies! Oh, I am going to KILL him for this! I'm going to plant a flying hoof right in his stupid liar face!
Chrom
She's even flightier than her mother. ...I didn't think that was possible.
Cynthia Defeated
Cynthia
I'd...always wanted...to be...someone else's hero...
Ruger talks to each Ally unit
Ruger
Haaalp! I am Chrom, ruler of Ylisse! I'm being hunted my brigands! If you help me, I'll see to it that you're handsomely rewarded!
>After Ruger talks to the first one
Ruger
Hold fast until I give the word. The moment the clear that rubble, fall on them like an avalanche!
After all Ally units have become Enemy units
Ruger
Still not coming, are you? Then the initiative will be ours!
VS Ruger
Ruger
I'm not dying in a backwater like this. I'll take what's handy and then take off!
Ruger Defeated
Ruger
Argh... Wouldn't have had to...live like this...if I'd...been a prince...
Post-Battle
Chrom
That's the last of them.
Frederick
We can explain the truth to those mercenaries as we tend their wounds. Frankly, I'm shocked that scoundrel had the audacity to impersonate you, milord.
Chrom
Not the worst of his crimes, I'm sure.
Frederick
It is unacceptable, milord. I have clearly failed in my duties as a knight. I shall draft a series of portraits and see that copies are distributed to all! Never again shall someone mistake the noble visage of my lord Chrom for—
Chrom
Frederick. Let's just go.
If Cynthia was recruited
Cynthia
Do you have a moment, Sumia?
Sumia
Oh, hello. You're the girl from...before. Er...
Cynthia
Cynthia! My name is Cynthia!
Sumia
What a darling name.
Cynthia
Tee hee! I KNOW! I've always loved it. It was a gift from my mother. ...From you.
Sumia
What? Me? But I... I've never seen...
Cynthia
Oh, but you WILL! Isn't that great?! I came from the FUTURE, Mother! See? Our rings match up and everything! It's 'cause you have it to me! Or you will. I mean, later. Before I come back here, but after I... Gods, this is confusing!
Sumia
You...you're my daughter...?
Cynthia
I sure am! I missed you so, Mother. Come here. Give me a hug— Whoops! [Cynthia trips] Ooh. That one's gonna bruise... Er, don't worry about me. I'm fine!
Sumia
...Well, we're definitely related. Hold on. You dropped something. ...A spearhead?
Cynthia
S-sorry! I'll take that back!
Sumia
Why are you carrying that around?
Cynthia
Because it hasn't been made yet. You promised me we'd make it together.
Sumia
I did?
Cynthia
But you broke your promise the day... The day you never came home. How could you leave me, Mother? You were a legend! You were invincible!
Sumia
Wait, are you saying I...died? I'm so sorry, love. I guess I'm not much of a legend after all.
Cynthia
...You are to me.
Sumia
...I may not be invincible, but at least I was blessed with a wonderful child. Had we decided what sort of haft to give the spear? We can pick up the materials in the next town.
Cynthia
W-we can?
Sumia
I made a promise, didn't I?
Cynthia
*Sniff* Oh...oh, Mother... I love you!
