Prologue II: Young Squires (Script)

This content was originally provided by King Marth 64.

Opening

In the past, there was a war known as
the War of Shadows.
It began when the fearsome Shadow Dragon,
Medeus, launched a sudden invasion.
The Kingdom of Archanea, protector of the
lands, clashed with Medeus's forces.
But against such superior might, Archanea
was overwhelmed and trembled in defeat.
Nyna, princess of Archanea, had no choice
but to flee from her beloved homeland.
To rescue Archanea, the Kingdom of Altea,
its allied nation, sallied forth.
However, it too was defeated by Medeus.
With its king lost to war, Altea fell to ruins...
From his exiled shores Marth, young prince
of Altea, swore he would retake his homeland.
Marth never forgot his oath. Years later, he
rallied an army at Talys to defeat Medeus.
Starting with Caeda, Talys's princess,
Marth gathered together many allies.
Duke Hardin, Nyna's guardian, also became
one of his trusted comrades.
With Archanea's treasured "Fire Emblem"
awarded to him by Nyna,
Marth led the Archanean League,
as its commander.
In the following battles, the League wrestled
back control of both Archanea and Altea.
Finally, after a long and fierce battle with
Shadow Dragon Medeus's forces...
Marth vanquished the Shadow Dragon...
And thus did peace return to the world.
These are the events that transpired
one year ago.

Main story

Katarina:
Chris, we have been designated as
members of the 7th Platoon.
I'm glad we were grouped together.

Chris:
As am I.
Who are the others?

Luke:
I'm Luke!
Or if you prefer, you can call me Luke,
the Paladin of Dawn!

Rody:
I am Rody. It is a pleasure to meet you.
So, is that everyone?

Ryan:
U-um... I'm a new recruit, too.
My name is Ryan.
I'm an archer.

Chris:
It looks like that's all five of us..
Well, what's the plan for today?

Katarina:
There was an order from Sir Jagen.
Today's mission is to decide who the new
commander will be.

Luke:
Commander? Gotcha!
Well, I'll be commander if you guys all insist!

Rody:
Nobody's insisting anything, Luke...

Katarina:
Excuse me.
I'd like to recommend Chris.

Chris:
Katarina...?

Katarina:
Chris is a really strong individual.
And he didn't abandon me during the mock
combat yesterday, even though I couldn't
fight.

Luke:
Alright then, I challenge him!
Chris, if you beat me, I'll cede the position
to you.

Katarina:
Huh?
H-how has it come to this?
Luke:
It's a challenge, man-to-man!

If Chris is female
Chris:
But I'm a woman...

Luke:
Well then it's a man-to-woman challenge!!

Luke:
Chris, you're not afraid to fight me,
are you?

Katarina:
Don't be silly.
Chris, won't lose to you.

Rody:
So we'll decide with a battle.
That'll let us see who's got te skill to be
commander.

Katarina:
I'm sorry, Chris. That was selfish of me...
But I couldn't stand hearing them make fun
of you...

Chris:
It's okay. When my grandfather trained me,
he used to say the same thing.
He said that the best way for men to
understand each other is by fighting.

Katarina:
Huh. Y-your grandfather sure sounds
colorful...
Anyway, our opponents are Luke and Rody.
It's been decided that Ryan will be on our
team.

Ryan:
Y-yes.
I'll do my best.

On the battlefield
Rody:
Luke, how should we go about this?

Luke:
Rody, you wait at the back.
I'll fight alone!
It's just Chris and that kid, right?
If that's all, I should be able to handle it.
I'll show them my true strenght.

Rody:
You're at it again...? Fine, have it your way.
But I think underestimating your opponent
will get you into trouble.
Rody leaves

Ryan vs. Luke
Luke:
Kiddo, just stand back and watch!
Only Chris is worthy of fighting me!

Chris (M) vs. Luke
Luke:
Chris, I've heard rumors about you!
Sir Jagen said that there was a recruit
who stood out from the rest of us!

Chris:
Is that so?

Luke:
Yeah, that's right!
And I bet you're hogging all the attention,
overshadowing the rest of us!
I'll beat you here to prove I'm the best!
Prepare yourself!

Chris (F) vs. Luke
Luke:
Sorry, Chris, but I won't hold back just because you're a girl!

Chris:
That's fine with me.

Luke:
I'll show you what I've got! Chris, try not to fall in love with me!

Luke defeated
Luke:
Guah...?!
I-impossible...
The future hero, Luke, defeated...

After Luke is defeated
Rody:
As I thought, Luke couldn't win alone.
I guess I'll have to fight, too.
Rody appears in the battle field

Ryan vs. Rody
Rody:
My opponent is an archer...
Then I should engage him in close-quarters.

Chris vs. Rody
Rody:
Chris, I've heard the rumors about you
as well.
I need to see your ability firsthand,
especially if you're to become the commander.
I ask you this, as a fellow squire of Altea.

Rody defeated
Rody:
Urgh! I see...
You are even stronger than I had imagined...

Chapter ends
Katarina:
Thank goodness...
Chris, you won. I knew you could do it.

Luke:
Alright, I'm a man of my word.
I'll keep my promise.
From here on, the commander'll be Chris.
Gah, but I don't get it!
I was so confident in my skills!
How did I wind up losing?!

Rody:
Because we didn't fight together.
We took turns fighting Chris one-on-one.
That's why we lost to him.

Ryan:
Yeah, my brother once said the same thing...
Even if we are weak individually, we can
become stronger by working together with
our friends.

Chris:
That's right.
Fighting with your friends:
That is the way of an Altean knight.

Luke:
...I see.
I thought I could be the victor through my
strength alone.
But I guess I was wrong.
Fighting together is far more important...

Katarina:
Luke...
I'm so glad.
You understand now.

Luke:
Yeah, it's all clear to me!
It looks like being the leader is more trouble
than it's worth!
So I'll leave this bothersome job to Chris!
I'm sure it'll be a joy working under him!
Chris, I'll be looking forward to your help!

Katarina:
...Does he really get it?

(Luke asking Chris)
Luke:
Alright then, Chris!
Now that you're the commander, how about
I give you a cool title?

Chris:
A title?

Luke:
Yeah. All the legendary heroes have their
own awesome title!
Hh, let's see...
looking at your eyes...
It's got to be Chris the Ordinary!

Chris:
I don't really understand...
Nor do I think it's something worth
celebrating...

Luke:
Aw, don't worry about it!
Chris the Ordinary!
