Before Battle Conversation

Chrom
This island again? *sigh* I suppose Old Hubba will be along any--

Old Hubba
Help! Save me, O mighty warriors!

Chrom
Yes, yes. Settle down, old-timer. What is it this time?

Old Hubba
We're surrounded! By a legion of Einherjar! And I've not a single card left to defend us! We're doomed! Oh, sweet Bea, make room for me in heaven... I'm coming to join you!

Chrom
Easy, Hubba. We already retrieved several of your cards, right? What about those?

Old Hubba
That's right, you did--past tense. But she tricked me out of them! ...Again!

Chrom
...... When you say "she," you don't mean--

Old Hubba
Aversa came to me, crying and begging for forgiveness. She really did look sorry! And she smelled like roses...mmm... Then, while I was fumbling with my--

Chrom
Enough! That's...quite enough, thank you.

Aversa
My thanks as well, Bubbles. Both for all your precious Einherjar... And for these fools you've brought back for them to slaughter!

Chrom
Your phantoms haven't a ghost of a chance, Aversa.

Aversa
Oh ho! So clever... Let's see how that wit fares against twenty of history's greatest heroes!

Battle Start

Ike
So you're to be our opponents? You appear capable enough...

Chrom
Hmm, there's something about this one...

Old Hubba
That's Ike! He was a legend--many say the strongest the world has known. More importantly, he was my favorite card. I want him back!

Chrom
He certainly has the look of a legend. ...Especially the hair.

Ike
Are you the leader of this army?

Chrom
I am. You can call me Chrom.

Ike
I'm Ike, of the Greil Mercenaries. Shall we get this over with?

Chrom
Certainly. It would be an honor to face you.

Ike
Likewise. I enjoy defeating worthy opponents.

Chrom
Heh. That'll be my line once the day is through...

Mercy, girl. Gregor not bad man!

From my experience, a man only pleads innocence when he reeks of guilt.

Lamentable and reprehensible. Why have you taken up arms? With your aid, we could advance mankind's magical knowledge.

Be silent, stranger. I seek only to advance the demise of brigands like you.

Are you really my enemy?

Maribelle
Strange. I had pegged you as the lowest of commoners. But that's not entirely the case, now is it? Who are you?

Micaiah
Since you're so sharp, why don't you tell me? Who am I? And why do I fight?

Cordelia
We are not your enemies. Look beyond what you've been told, and you will see the truth!

Seliph
Truth is in the eye of the beholder, is that it? Then perhaps it's you who needs look closer. Behold the truth of your defeat!

Seliph
Forgive me, Julia...

Julia

I fight for Seliph, my lord brother!

>Battle with Lissa
Lissa
Can't we find a way to end this without bloodshed? This is such a no-win situation.

Julia
No war could be worse than the one my elder brothers fought.

Lissa
Oh gods, I know exactly what you mean! My brother works me SILLY! I mean, yeesh. Who do they think they are, pushing their little sisters around?

Julia
Er, no. I mean it was heartbreaking to...Never mind. Have at you!

Why have you sided with brigands, good sir? Is your mother ill? Here, I have some gold you can use to buy medi--

Beg pardon, milady, but are you always this chatty on the battlefield?

I'm not a "sir," and you're not in a position make bold remarks.

Then I'll be sure to try again once I stand over your broken body!

*Yawn* What in all of Talys is going on? ...Hmm? Ah! An army! They've come to kill us! Woe! Woe to us all! Here, t-t-take this, and spare a poor fool's life! I'm beggin' ya!

Battle End

Old Hubba
Huzzah! Huzzaaaah! Did you see that, Bea?! Gods bless you, Chrom! You did it again! All my calling cards, back safe and sound. You've made this gray old man so happy. Ah yes, now here's that special tome, as promised. Use it wisely!

Chrom
Thanks, Hubba. I'm glad we could help. We'd best get headed back to our own--

Old Hubba
WAIT! YET ANOTHER VISION!

Chrom
You can't be serious...

Old Hubba
The future again, but...you are not there this time. Oh, it's so dark and horrible! It's the other Outrealms, after you abandoned them! Death is everywhere! These other realms have their own Einherjar, you see. And no one like me to keep them. These phantoms have taken on lives of their own and started great wars!

Chrom
We have our own great war to fight back in our world, Hubba...

Old Hubba
Yes, and defeating these other Einherjar will help you in that struggle! I foresee gold! Experience! Legendary weapons and heroes! But that's not all!

Chrom

• Sigh* Why do I feel as if I'm being sold something at market? All right, old-timer. How do we reach these other Outrealms?
  

Old Hubba
Glad you asked! It's easy as pie! Merely return to the gate, choose an Outrealm, and I'll guide you from there. But I should warn you--saving the other Outrealms won't be quite so simple.

Chrom
How do you mean?

Old Hubba
You may have to fight the same soldiers more than once to truly defeat them. The Einherjar can come back to life, you see. They're stubborn that way...

Chrom
Let me guess: It's something to do with the unique time-continuum thing...?

Old Hubba
Why, yes! How did you know?! Do you have the gift of foresight as well? Perhaps you have also prognosticated what we must do to stop them? Defeat them repeatedly to weaken them, and I can seal them back in their cards!

Chrom
Oh, sure! Best the greatest soldiers in history over and over again? No problem!

Old Hubba
That's the spirit! And don't worry--I'll be there to help! ...Er, with useful advice, at least. Here's a sample: within their own worlds, the Einherjar believe they are real!

Chrom
...How is that knowledge in any way useful?

Old Hubba
Well... I mean... Perhaps in matters of diplomacy? Or dinner conversation...? *Ahem* Never mind. Hopefully you'll find this card more advantageous? This is "Micaiah, Priestess of Dawn." Lovely, isn't she? Hate to give her up... But a deal's a deal. Here you go--take her before I change my mind!

Micaiah Recruitment Conversation

Micaiah
What is this place? Has the fighting ended? Then...that means we lost... I am yours to command. My name is Micaiah. Do you know who I am?

>Question:Have you heard of Micaiah?

>Yes
Micaiah
You have? Then why don't you tell me about yourself instead?

>No
Micaiah

>After Answer
Micaiah
What is your name? Robin, is it? And you are this army's tactician? Tell me, Robin, what sort of tactician are you? What plans have you weaved to secure your victories? If you had to resort to something underhanded and dirty, would you? What if failing to do so would get your comrades killed?

>Question:Would you resort to evil to save a friend?
>Yes
Micaiah

>No
Micaiah
Then you are just. But justice can cost you victory, and defeat can cost you the lives of friends. Are you able to live with that? ...I'm sorry. I'm being a bully. But I could never fully choose, and I made many mistakes as a result. Listen to me. I talk to you as if I've known you for years! We should remedy that. Tell me more about yourself, Robin...

> After Question
> Recruit Micaiah? (The unit will be added to your Avatar Logbook)
>If Yes
Micaiah
All right. Let's go.
