Before Battle Conversation

Old Hubba
Oho! You're back again! What impeccable timing.

Chrom
I don't like the sound of that...

Old Hubba
No, it's good news! All the Einherjar you defeated have gathered in one place. After you defeat them this time, I can finally seal them back into their cards!

Chrom
Wait...that actually IS good news.

Old Hubba
It is, isn't it! ...There's just one tiny little catch... I, uh... Well, I sort of...forgot to get you allies. So both armies will be after you. Welp, good luck then!

Chrom
*Sigh* I knew there had to be something...

Battle Start

Ced
King Marth, enemy reinforcements have arrived in the northeast and southeast.

King Marth
How did we not see them approach?

Ced
They didn't approach, sire. Not exactly. It seems they were summoned from another world...

King Marth
Damn... Will this land never know peace?

Ced
We are ready for them. Our forces in the southeast castle and on the eastern plain will crush them.

King Marth
Good. Commence the attack. We cannot stand idly be whilst they summon even more of their kind.

>Camera pans to the southeast

Finn
Lord Leif! Enemy soldiers to the north!

Leif
The otherworldy force we were warned about, no doubt. I hear they are strong. Still, they are no match for the famed heroes we count among our allies. My father, Lords Seliph and Sigurd…even King Marth himself.

Finn
Don't be too humble to name yourself, my lord. But aye, our victory is assured.

>Camera pans to the center-south

Chrom
Looks like we'll have our hands full here.

Robin
I liked them better when they were on our side...

Chrom
Victory here will win peace for this Outrealm, at least. It will be difficult, but we must prevail.

Robin
Unfortunately, the enemy armies are thinking the same thing. ...Both of them.

Chrom
I like it no better than you, but we've no other choice. Let's finish this!

Leif
This is our world, not yours!

>Battle w/ Avatar (M)
Robin
You're the ones who brought war to this realm, not us! We have to put a stop to you!

Leif
You have it backward, sir! This is our land! You are the invaders here!

>Deathquote
Leif
I have failed... But I will come back...stronger...

Nanna

>Battle
Nanna
Please return from whence you came. The fighting will only get worse.

>Battle w/ Avatar (F)
Nanna
Please return whence you came. The fighting will only get worse.

Robin
Sorry, but we have a job to do here. We won't be walking away just because you ask us to.

>Deathquote
Nanna
Why did you not use that strength...to help instead of to harm?

Sigurd

>Battle
Sigurd
I cannot fail. I have too much to protect!

>Battle w/ Chrom
Sigurd
Lead your army hence. I will not ask again.

Chrom
You speak as though you're the only man with a purpose. Think again!

>Deathquote
Sigurd
No...this cannot be where I fall...

King Marth

>Battle
King Marth
Return to the world in which you belong!

>Battle w/ Chrom
King Marth
The enemy commander, I presume? Leave. You do not belong here.

Chrom
Perhaps not. But I have my reasons to fight!

>Deathquote
King Marth
How could I fail... My cause...is just.

Ethlyn

>Battle
Ethlyn
I will stand strong as long as my brother and the others need me!

>Battle w/ Lissa
Ethlyn
I will stand strong as long as my brother and the others need me!

Lissa
Yeah well, I've got a brother, too. So there!

>Deathquote
Ethlyn
As long as my defeat...brings my brother victory...

Quan

>Battle
Quan
We will yield before no hardship!

>Battle w/ Frederick
Frederick
You appear to be a true knight, sir. Might I have the privilege?

Quan
I accept your challenge, sir. May the best knight prevail.

>Deathquote
Quan
I fought as best I could. Finish it, my friends...

Eyvel

In the name of the Fiana Freeblades, I will erase you from this land!

>Battle w/ Sully
Eyvel
In the name of the Fiana Freeblades, I will erase you from this land!

Sully
Sounds impressive. But you haven't met a Shepherd yet!

>Deathquote
Eyvel
How could I lose? I should have...trained harder...

Jamke

>Battle
Jamke
Go home! You've no errand here!

>Battle w/ Virion
Jamke
Go home! You know you've no errand here.

Virion
Does an arrow, once loosed, have no purpose in the air?

>Deathquote
Jamke
I must away... I am not too proud to admit defeat...

Finn

>Battle
Finn
Our conviction will not be broken. You have no future here!

>Battle w/ Stahl
Stahl
Hmm. I'm starting to wonder if I can take down a knight this good.

Finn
If you have to wonder, you cannot win. Leave before you get hurt.

Stahl
Well, I guess I'll just have to find the courage to try!

>Deathquote
Finn
Lord Leif, why are they doing this...?

Ogma

>Battle
Ogma
You do know this won't be easy?

>Battle w/ Vaike
Vaike
The Vaike loves fightin' tough guys. Are you a tough guy?

Yes, but all I see is talking. Here's your fighting!

>Deathquote
Ogma
Nngh, damn! I can't stay here. Forgive me, Lady Caeda...

Lewyn

>Battle
Lewyn
Scurry home to your world before you find out who you are up against.

>Battle w/ Miriel
Miriel
I deduce already that this will be a most zesty experience.

Lewyn
An experience? You'd do well to take this fight more seriously.

Miriel
I intend it as a compliment. Did I not project the needed gravitas? You should be honored to have any empirical value at all.

>Deathquote
Lewyn
How could you withstand the wrath of Forseti?! I must escape...quickly...

Catria

>Battle
Catria
Away with you, visitor! Return to your own world!

>Battle w/ Sumia
Catria
Away with you, visitor! Return to your own world!

Sumia
I wish that I could...

Catria
Then enough words. Defend yourself!

>Deathquote
Catria
Rrgh, can't... Prince Marth...still needs me...

Arden

>Battle
Arden
However noble you think your purpose, it won't stop you from losing.

>Battle w/ Kellam
Kellam
Fight me! ...I mean, just look at us. It was meant to happen.

Arden
Was it now? Pah! Do your worst!

>Deathquote
Arden
This blasted armor...slows me...rrgh...

Dagdar

Dagdar
Won't listen to reason, eh? Guess I'll have to use my loud voice.

>Battle w/ Donnel
Donnel
That's right! You an' me! I'll show ya just how far I've come!

Dagdar
Hm? I'd pegged ya for some scrawny villager, but I see I was wrong. All right, lad, let's put ya to the test!

>Deathquote
Dagdar
Bested by the likes of you... Maybe it's time I retired...

Navarre

>Battle
Navarre
Come to fall upon my blade?

>Battle w/ Lon'qu
Navarre
I will cut you down.

Lon'qu
You can try.

>Deathquote
Navarre
Impressive...

Arthur

>Battle
Arthur
You may think you have your reasons, but we will not yield this land!

>Battle w/ Ricken
Ricken
Don't glare at me like that! I'm not some child!

Arthur
Then prove your worth by standing against me.

>Deathquote
Arthur
Nngh... Next time...I hope we meet as allies...

Olwen

>Battle
Olwen
This is our land! Leave, now!

>Battle w/ Maribelle
Olwen
This is our land! Away with you!

Maribelle
If you want me to leave, you'll have to ask in a civilized manner. I will not abide the grunted demands of a boor like yourself!

>Deathquote
Olwen
Was this right? Were we...right?

Athena

>Battle
Athena
Ve respect your strength. But ve also have our pride as a varrior!

Surrender. You are outmatched.

Athena
Ve are vanquished...

Etzel

Whoever you are, you'll have to forgive me for putting self-preservation first.

>Battle w/ Gaius
Etzel
Whoever you are, you'll have to forgive me for keeping myself alive.

Gaius
Hey, work is work.

Etzel
Precisely!

>Deathquote
Etzel
I know when I'm bested... Time for a retreat...

Caeda

>Battle
Caeda
For my Marth and all our comrades, I must succeed!

>Battle w/ Cordelia
Cordelia
It's an honor to fight you, milady. Tales of your exploits inspired me as a child.

Caeda
Tales? Exploits?

Cordelia
I didn't expect you to understand, but this was my only chance to say it...

>Deathquote
Caeda
So...powerful... Should have...joined forces...

Fee

>Battle
Fee
Start wars in your own world! We don't need more sadness here.

>Battle w/ Gregor
Gregor
Good grieving! Must Gregor trade blows with such a fine young lady?

Fee
Mind your tongue! Through me runs the blood of Silesse's finest pegasus knight!

>Deathquote
Fee
Was this sadness our doing, then? No... I cannot believe that...

Salem

>Battle
Salem
You're mad if you think we'll go down without a fight.

>Battle w/ Nowi
Salem
Fie! Have we been reduced to beating on children?

Nowi
I'm not a child. I'm a force of nature!

>Deathquote
Salem
Agh... Challenged the wrong foe...

Saias

>Battle
Saias
Why did you allow yourself to be summoned here? What profit is there for you?

>Battle w/ Libra
Libra
You're certain we need to do this?

Saias
Only if you refuse to leave.

Libra
Gods know why I even bother asking...

>Deathquote
Saias
...Nngh! That look... You know something... Why we are all here...

Deirdre

>Battle
Deirdre
I must cling to hope. Let this be the last day blood must be spilt...

>Battle w/ Tharja
Deirdre
Begone, ill creature!

Tharja
Oh, I'll show you the meaning of the word "ill" all right...

>Deathquote
Deirdre
It is over...as perhaps it should be... Fight for peace...please...

Katarina

>Battle
Katarina
This fight could end right now it you left. But I can see you will not.

>Battle w/ Olivia
Olivia
Um, I don't suppose we could just avoid this fight?

Katarina
We could if you surrendered.

Olivia
...I'll take that as a no.

>Deathquote
Katarina
So strong... You remind me...of...ahh...

Minerva

>Battle
Minerva
If you stand before me, then you must wish to be tested!

>Battle w/ Cherche
Cherche
Minerva of Macedon, was it? Here is a fateful battle if ever I have fought one—isn't that right, Minerva?

Minerva
Why do you look at your wyvern when you address me? Is this some kind of insult?!

>Deathquote
Minerva
Well...done...

Merric

>Battle
Merric
By my magic shall your end come!

>Battle w/ Henry
Henry
Ooh! You look tough! I'm going to get splattered all over the place!

Merric
Er, if you know that, ought you not surrender? Ought you not leave?

Henry
What, and miss the best part? Not a chance! Nya ha ha!

>Deathquote
Merric
Nngh... My magic, defeated? Must...study more...

Pr. Marth

>Battle
Pr. Marth
What do you hope to gain by fighting in a world not your own?

>Battle w/ Lucina
Pr. Marth
I do not know why you dress like me, but I demand you stand down.

Lucina
Alas, I cannot. I owe you much, but this fight was quite literally in the cards. Come!

>Deathquote
Pr. Marth
You have prevailed... Something about you... I sense justice in your actions...

Ayra

>Battle
Ayra
I have a debt to repay!

>Battle w/ Say'ri
Say'ri
Prithee, tell me: Why do you fight?

Ayra
In Isaach, we repay our debts. Have you no such custom?

Say'ri
Aye, my lady, we do. I will question your conviction no further. Have at ye!

>Deathquote
Ayra
I cannot stand saying it, but...my strength pales to yours...

Tiki

>Battle
Tiki
I have to win. I cannot bear being alone again...

>Battle w/ Tiki
Tiki (Awakening)
Cease this fight, younger me. There is no way you are stronger.

Tiki (Shadow Dragon)
But I have to win. I cannot bear being alone again...

>Deathquote
Tiki
Mar-Mar...I'm sorry...

Arvis

>Battle
Arvis
What sort of fool would stand against my magic?

>Battle w/ Basilio
Basilio
Is that furrow in your brow hereditary? You should relax. Live a little!

Arvis
Mock me, will you? I know the life I live. Let death silence you, prattling wretch!

>Deathquote
Arvis
Valflame, defeated?! Th-that's impossible...

Malice

>Battle
Malice
Sorry, friend, but a sellsword's only as good as her sword.

>Battle w/ Flavia
Flavia
You look sharp enough. Why not fight for the winning side?

Malice
A sellsword who betrays her clients soon finds her sword doesn't sell.

Flavia
Perhaps, but a dead sellsword fares even worse...

>Deathquote
Malice
Agh! This will...damage my reputation...

Legion

>Battle
Legion
Fights and more fights—todays, tomorrows, and every days! Uwee hee!

>Battle w/ Gangrel
Legion
Uwee hee. Look at yous. You's an absolute lunatics!

Legion
Battles! More battleses! Uwee...hee...

Hardin

>Battle
Hardin
You have come a long way just to meet your end.

>Battle w/ Walhart
Walhart
I know a man who has lost the path when I see one. You will not prevail!

Hardin
I know my path well. You had best prepare yourself for disappointment.

>Deathquote
Hardin
Rogue! I will make you pay...for defying me...

Nyna

>Battle
Nyna
You have chosen with quarrel, not I.

>Battle w/ Emmeryn
Emmeryn
I must fight... Chrom...and the others...need me...

Nyna
A powerful destiny drives you. And while I would sooner not keep you from it, it must be done.

>Deathquote
Nyna
My strength was not enough...

Horace

>Battle
Horace
I will not retreat. My traitor's life belongs to these—my comrades!

>Battle w/ Yen'fay
Horace
I will not retreat. My traitor's life belongs to these—my comrades!

Yen'fay
Well spoken, sir. If only I did not feel the same...

Horace
I gave my best, Princess Nyna... Do I have...your leave to...

Worms! I wipe the likes of you from my boots.

>Battle w/ Aversa
Aversa
Oh, my. Now here's a drab man. Come closer, darling. Let me smooth out some of those...rough edges.

Raydrik
You dare mock me, vixen? I need no assistance from you.

>Deathquote
Raydrik
So be it... The way forward...is yours...

Ulster

>Battle
Ulster
If you will not return to your world, then meet your end in mine!

>Battle w/ Owain
Owain
You will rue the day you wakened the wrath of Owain's secret power. Today, the holy forces of yore will—

Ulster
Are you trying to convince me or yourself? Raise your weapon!

Owain
W-wait a moment! I have to get in the mood first!

>Deathquote
Ulster
Your world breeds tough warriors...if they can withstand my sword...

Larcei

Larcei
You look formidable. But I have no intention of losing!

>Battle w/ Inigo
Inigo
Lovely lady! Your eyes sparkle like... Ack! They sparkle because there are daggers in them! Have I offended?

Larcei
I've heard enough sweet nothings to last a lifetime, sir. One man is enough!

Inigo
Y-you could at least explain your backstory a bit!

>Deathquote
Larcei
Rrgh... I nearly had you! I did...

Raquesis

>Battle
Raquesis
If you insist on fighting, then fight with honor!

>Battle w/ Brady
Brady
Hey, princess. Why don't ya go home instead of trying to play with warriors? The battlefield's a great place to chip a nail, yeah?

Raquesis
I'll nail your foul mouth closed!

>Deathquote
Raquesis
I fought with all I had... I have no regrets...

Mareeta

>Battle
Mareeta
My mother's memory speaks through every stroke of my blade!

>Battle w/ Kjelle
Kjelle
My name is Kjelle, I challenge you to knightly combat!

Mareeta
I can't promise "knightly," but I like a woman with courage! Come on!

>Deathquote
Mareeta
Mother...next time I...

Ares

>Battle
Ares
You think to walk away from this? Amusing.

>Battle w/ Cynthia
Cynthia
Hear me, wrongdoer! Today you answer to the forces of justice. The forces...of me! ...Holy wow! You're the first enemy to listen to the whole speech.

Ares
The least I can do is grant your last words.

>Deathquote
Ares
You didn't...look that tough...

Linde

>Battle
Linde
All invaders of this land shall be punished by my magic!

>Battle w/ Severa
Linde
All invaders of this land shall be punished by my magic!

Severa
Pfft! Funny, I thought punishments were supposed to be intimidating...

>Deathquote
Linde
You win... I am bested...

Altena

>Battle
Altena
I know not why you have come. I know only that you must fall.

>Battle w/ Gerome
Altena
I know not why you have come. I know only that you must fall.

Gerome
Then you know nothing. I refuse to die in any world but my own.

>Deathquote
Altena
That...piercing gaze... You almost have me believing...we are in the wrong...

Seliph

>Battle
Seliph
Will our struggles here truly save this land?

>Battle w/ Morgan (M)
Seliph
...Am I doing the right thing?

Morgan
Oh? You're still debating that? In that case, why not surrender? We'll see no harm comes to you.

Seliph
No! I have to trust in my convictions!

Morgan
Then keep your doubts to yourself! Sheesh.

>Deathquote
Seliph
So this is how it ends... This is fate...

Julia

>Battle
Julia
Stand aside!

>Battle w/ Morgan (F)
Morgan
Do we really need to do this? Nothing would please me more than to see us all survive...

Julia
Then I beg you stand down, my lady, for I cannot.

Morgan
So a fight is inevitable, then. That's too bad.

>Deathquote
Julia
Press on, then...if your cause be true...

Gharnef

>Battle
Gharnef
You dare defy me? Heh heh. I shall enjoy toying with you.

>Battle w/ Yarne
Gharnef
Heh heh. You cannot defeat me. Why not surrender and spend the rest of your days as my pet?

Yarne
Eek! E-every word sends a chill down my spine... But I can't afford to be afraid of you!

>Deathquote
Gharnef
Heh heh... A momentary...setback...

Ced

>Battle
Ced
Why have you come here, warrior? Ravage your own world!

>Battle w/ Laurent
Ced
Why have you come here, warrior? Ravage your own world!

Laurent
It's customary at this point to engage in a rather long-winded explanation. However, I'm certain such a tactic would not be useful to either of us. Shall we spare ourselves the fruitless discourse and simply engage?

>Deathquote
Ced
The winds favor you... A gentle wind. Perhaps we have...misjudged you...

Norne

>Battle
Norne
Hopin' to go a round with me? I hope you like catchin' arrows.

>Battle w/ Noire
Noire
BWA HA HA! THE RAVENS SHALL PICK YOUR BONES CLEAN THIS NIGHT!

Norne
Whoa! What's befallen this one? She seemed so calm a moment ago...

>Deathquote
Norne
Ah... Tough, aren't ye? Should've...been on the same side...

Julius

You strangers fight well. But the time for games is over.

>Battle w/ Nah
Julius
You strangers fight well. But the time for games is over.

Nah
You think I see this as a game? I take my battles VERY seriously. Now watch me prove it!

>Deathquote
Julius
I will return... Count on it...

End of first Player Phase

Leif
Lord Sigurd, King Marth's forces are taking the offensive.

Sigurd
He means to trap the enemy between us.

Leif
There is no time to lose!

Sigurd
Aye, but this is no typical foe we face. We must cling fast to caution...

>Camera pans to the north

Caeda
Lady Deirdre! The force that appeared up ahead is hostile. I'm certain of it!

Deirdre
Then they have come at last. Will the bloodshed never end?

Caeda
You mustn't waver now, my lady. Let us be the strength behind your conviction. Peace will come, in its time. Today, we must defeat the enemy before us.

Deirdre
You are right. Thank you, Lady Caeda. I will trust in your strength.

>Camera pans to the east

Seliph
It was the enemy's choice to invade, and it is our duty to defend the land. These should be simple facts, but...

Villages

>Visit Northern Village
Maiden
Gods! Where did all these soldiers come from? Things used to be so peaceful! Are you with them? Are ya?! WELL, HERE! FINE THEN! Take this, and then take yer scuffle somewhere else!

>Visit Center Village
Villager
So, uh, just between friends—do ye think ye'll win? 'Cause see, I bet me life's savings in gold on ya, so, er... Well, how about I tip the scales a bit? Take this and CRUSH them brutes!

Battle End

Chrom
It's finally over, thank the gods. There were so damn many of them...

Frederick
It was no easy fight, milord. But then, what battle is?

Chrom
I hope we brought a measure of peace. The grasses here have seen enough red.

Frederick
I could not agree more.

Robin
Chrom, look what I found.

Chrom
Another card? Let's see... "Seliph, Scion of Light." Hmm... Seliph figured prominently in the Jugdrali sagas. Didn't he end the strife that plagued the continent for decades? It seems we've found a real treasure.

Seliph Recruitment Conversation

Seliph
I yield to your strength, sir/my lady. Never have I seen one person lead so great a force. My name is Seliph. Do you know who I am?

>Question: Have you heard of Seliph?

>Yes
Seliph
It honors me that my name has carried to lands as far as yours. What do they say of me? Do I become a great king?

>No
Seliph
I was born on the continent of Jugdral—son of Duke Sigurd of Chalphy. I am descended from Baldur the Crusader and Saint Heim. I fight to avenge my late father, who fell in the Battle of Belhalla.

>After Answer
Seliph
On your hand...that is the Brand, yes? The mark is proof that you descend from dragons, our gods of yore. I, too, carry the Brand. The blood in my veins entitled me to wield the divine blade that led me to victory. But it also cursed my to a lifetime of tragedy... Namely, my father's death and a terrible war with my half-brother. So much blood spilt over blood... Tell me...Robin, was it? If you could cast away the Brand—free yourself from it—would you?

Question: Would you cast away the Brand?

>Yes
Seliph
You choose to live freely. I envy that. Oftentimes I wonder if I missed that chance somewhere along the way... But tell me more about yourself, Robin. If the Brand no longer bound you, what sort of life would you choose? What places would you visit?

>No
Seliph
Yes, I can certainly understand that. We're the same, then. I could never simply give up the Brand. Even while I curse it, I know that it has preserved me. I owe it much. And it is my mother and father's blood—a precious part of me.
Thank you, Robin. I'm glad me could speak. I know your Brand will lead you to your destiny, as mine did with me. But from my experience, grand destinies bring with them grand conflicts. My blade is yours, if you would have it. I will help you win the struggles to come.

>Recruit Seliph?
>If yes
Seliph
As the gods will it.
