Before Battle

Old Hubba
Ahh! You came! You're here again! ...Wait, why are you here again?

Chrom
The Outrealms, Old Hubba...? The Einherjar with minds of their own...? You asked us to keep defeating them until you could... You don't remember this?

Old Hubba
What? ...Ohh, yes, right! Saw this all years ago! I just...forget things sometimes... Oh! I got you allies this time! Bamboozled 'em into thinking they summoned you! Heh. At least...I think I did? Memory's been a bit fuzzy lately, to tell the truth...

Chrom
Yes, I noticed...


Battle Start

Ares
We have them trapped in the castle ruins.

Camus
And the exits?

Ares
Guarded by our forces on all sides. The enemy has no means of escape.

Camus
Then all that remains is to rally our might and crush them.

Ares
It may not be so simple.

Camus
What do you mean?

Ares
More enemy soldiers just...appeared inside the compound. They bear peculiar weapons and armor...

Camus
They just appeared? Summoned here from some other realm?

Ares
It seems so, as mad as that sounds. We still outnumber them, but against these mysterious new soldiers...

Camus
An all-out assault could prove disastrous... All right. Let's feed the fire gradually, then. Poke at them. Test their skills and defenses. Spread the word.

Ares
Right.


>camera pans to the center


Chrom
The enemy has blocked all the exits. How will we fight our way out of this one?

Sigurd
That's why we summoned you. We need your help to break the enemy siege.

Chrom
So all we need to do is secure you an exit?

Sigurd
That is our immediate goal... But this land will never know peace with men like them on the loose.

Chrom
So we need to wipe them all out. Understood...

Seliph
Father! The enemy is mobilizing for an attack!

Sigurd
This is it, then. Seliph, make sure every soldier knows: we make our stand here! Our otherworldly comrades will lead us to victory!

Seliph
Yes, Father!

Sigurd
We're counting on you, friends.

Chrom
We won't let you down.


Battle Conversations

Allies

Alm

>Talk w/ Frederick
Alm
Tell me: What does your commander do back in your world?

Frederick
What does he do? That's rather a complicated question. It might be difficult to explain...

Alm
But he leads an army, isn't that right?

Frederick
Yes, more or less.

Alm
Then he must be a king or general. And you are his lieutenant?

Frederick
Precisely.

Alm
As lieutenant, do you ever wish your commander did things differently?

Frederick
Why do you ask?

Alm
Well, I've been known to lead forces myself...and I often wonder what my men wish of me.

Frederick
Hmm... I'm sure one could make a list... But I imagine what they'd want most is for you not to care.

Alm
Huh?

Frederick
If you're a leader, lead. Don't look to your men for a critique. Sweating the details is their job.

Alm
...Really?

Frederick
Really. If you care for your men, then believe in the path you choose for them. Do that much, and you'll find they won't ask for much else.

Alm
Interesting. I appreciate the advice.

Frederick
You're quite welcome.


>Deathquote
Alm
Damn...it's too soon...


Leif

>Talk w/ Virion
Virion
What remarkable qualities you exhibit!

Leif
...Are you talking to me?

Virion
Of course. I have been watching you very intently. You pretend to be rough-hewn, but I know character when I see it. You are highborn, but you were raised amongst commoners.

Leif
That's right. My father's kingdom was destroyed, and I was raised in a country village.

Virion
I knew it! Nothing gets past Virion.

Leif
Do you have a point?

Virion
Not a point, per se. But many of late seem to doubt my gifts of keen perception. I felt the need to put them to the test.

Leif
You could find a better place than the middle of a battlefield.

Virion
Tsk tsk, so naive. Sound judgment has a place everywhere—in and out of battle. If you intend to be a king one day, at least remember that.

Leif
I will try.

Virion
Splendid. Carry on, then.

Leif
...Why do the sensible ones always come across as the strangest?


>Deathquote
Leif
I came all this way...to lose to my own lack...of experience...


Sigurd

>Talk w/ Miriel
Miriel
Are you commander of this army?

Sigurd
Yes. Is something wrong?

Miriel
Fascinating... Would you mind if I observe you for a while?

Sigurd
Observe me? Whatever for?

Miriel
You are clearly cut from different cloth than our leader. And the more references I study, the better my picture of leadership.

Sigurd
Why study it at all?

Miriel
Do I need a reason, outside of the accumulation of knowledge?

Sigurd
Hmm... I grant you permission to study me, under one condition.

Miriel
What is that?

Sigurd
You will report your findings to your commander. I'm not handing out wisdom just to see it go to waste.

Miriel
You want to see it leveraged... Very well. You have my word.

Sigurd
Then let's begin.

Miriel
You have my full attention.


>Deathquote
Sigurd
You can break me, but someone will always carry on...in my stead...


Roy

>Talk w/ Cordelia
Roy
Do you mind if I ask you something?

Cordelia
What is it, milord?

Roy
Are battles here any different from the ones in your world? If so, I'd like to know.

Cordelia
Why?

Roy
I might be able to use that knowledge to improve our tactics here.

Cordelia
Well...if I had to pick one thing—our fighters often pair up.

Roy
Really?

Cordelia
Yes. By covering each other, we're able to fight more effectively.

Roy
Interesting... In my world, we usually fight man-to-man. I'll have to try your way. Thank you.

Cordelia
You're welcome.


>Deathquote
Roy
I'm sorry I couldn't...see us through this...


Seliph

>Talk w/ Lucina
Seliph
I see women fight in your army as well.

Lucina
Of course. Though the men do outnumber us.

Seliph
Why do you fight, my lady?

Lucina
To help my father.

Seliph
Your father is in the army, too?

Lucina
Yes. He leads it.

Seliph
I see. Then you and I are the same. Now my father and I fight in one army, but it wasn't always this way. You might say that, at one time, I was chasing his ghost...

Lucina
Believe it or not, I think I understand how that feels.

Seliph
Having a great father is no easy burden...

Lucina
I suppose not! But I still count myself lucky to be with him.

Seliph
And I feel the same.


>Deathquote
Seliph
Why... We were so close...


Ephraim

>Battle
Ephraim
Every one of the enemy is a legend—just how I like it!


>Talk w/ Say'ri
Ephraim
Tell me, visitor. Is it easier to fight in your world or ours?

Say'ri
Yours, I suppose. Fewer obstacles.

Ephraim
...Fences and walls, you mean?

Say'ri
Nay, sir. Fewer doubts and reservations. Here, all enemies are strangers. In my world, I had to fight my own brother.

Ephraim
I see... Then I understand. I once had to take down my own best friend.

Say'ri
Mm... Strange, isn't it, that war can overpower love so easily? That must be a universal truth, if it holds in your world and mine...

Ephraim
I hope not. I don't want to feel that pain again.

Say'ri
Who would?


>Deathquote
Ephraim
I'm finished... The rest is up to you...


Pr. Marth

>Talk w/ Tiki
Pr. Marth
Beg pardon... Do I...know you?

Tiki
Ah! Y-you must be mistaken, sire.

Pr. Marth
I see... Forgive me. It's just—you remind me so much of a girl I know.

Tiki
Do I? ...What sort of girl?

Pr. Marth
Well, she's younger than you—just a child, really. But she's so kind and innocent—she beams when she smiles.

Tiki
So does that mean she...

Pr. Marth
Hm?

Tiki
Well, is she important to you?

Pr. Marth
Of course. She's like... Well, like a little sister to me, I suppose. I could not bear to lose her.

Tiki
Do you mean that?

Pr. Marth
With all my heart. The girl has been through terrible hardships despite her age. The least I can do is stand by her until she finds a happy future.

Tiki
......

Pr. Marth
But listen to me. What a bore! I shall leave you here, my lady. Good luck in the field.

Tiki
Thank you, Mar-Mar. For standing by me...


>Deathquote
Pr. Marth
I thought...I had more in me...


Eliwood

>Talk w/ Yen'fay
Eliwood
Hold, sir.

Yen'fay
What is it?

Eliwood
It's been bothering me... You seem different from the other visitors.

Yen'fay
How so?

Eliwood
You just seem...distant. Out-of-body, if I had to describe it.

Yen'fay
Apt words for a ghost.

Eliwood
Ghost? You look alive enough to me.

Yen'fay
Aye, sir. 'Tis just an expression. I erred in the past and failed to protect someone I love. I fear my heart died with her.

Eliwood
Forgive me for intruding on a matter I don't fully understand... But wouldn't she want you to move on instead of dwelling on the past?

Yen'fay
It sounds very simple when you put it like that.

Eliwood
And I know it's not. You need to find those answers yourself... But you won't get that far if some enemy cuts you down first.

Yen'fay
Verily so. Then I shall try harder to keep myself alive in spirit.

Eliwood
A wise choice, sir.


>Deathquote
Eliwood
I thought it was a certain win...


Ike

>Talk w/ Kjelle
Kjelle
You're the one!

Ike
I'm the "one" what? Where did that come from?

Kjelle
Please! Make me your disciple! Teach me everything!

Ike
You want me to teach you?

Kjelle
Yes! I've been watching you—how you move, how you fight... Phantom or not, you're perfect.

Ike
"Phantom"?

Kjelle
Uh, nothing... Anyway, please. Will you take me under your wing?

Ike
Sorry, but I'm going to have to decline.

Kjelle
What? Why? Am I not worthy?

Ike
Look, I'm just not the take-under-my-wing type. All right?

Kjelle
But, sir!

Ike
If you want to learn, you don't have to be my disciple. Just stay close and fight by my side. You'll pick up on stuff.

Kjelle
You'd permit me?

Ike
We're allies. You don't need my permission.

Kjelle
Oh! Thank you, sir!


>Deathquote
Ike
...So be it.


Sothe

>Talk w/ Severa
Sothe
Huh? Oh, it's one of them.

Severa
Hey, get back here!

Sothe
What do you want?

Severa
Don't play dumb with me. You took one look at me and then pulled the disappearing act. That is so disrespectful!

Sothe
Look, I just don't think your kind and mine should mix.

Severa
As long as we're fighting together, we have to mix. So what if we come from another world? Shape up!

Sothe
I don't want to get friendly. Today you're my ally, but tomorrow you could be my enemy.

Severa
......

Sothe
See? I need a clear conscience if you and I stand on opposite sides one day. I already had to take down one "friend" in my last battle. So let's keep the faux camaraderie to a minimum. All right?

Severa
Stop that! You're making all these assumptions! You can't enjoy life if you're constantly worrying about how it'll all go wrong.

Sothe
Live each moment, huh?

Severa
That's right. You're not the only one who's been through hell, you know.

Sothe
Fair enough.

Severa
Now can we be civilized or not?

Sothe
...I'll think about it.


>Deathquote
Sothe
I failed...

>Battle w/ Avatar (M)

The tactician? Why are you on the front lines?

Robin
Fighting with my mind isn't half as fun as fighting the other way.

Saias
Ha! Well said. Shall we, then?

Saias
You're stronger than I thought... A painful mistake...


Katarina

Defeating you will give us the edge...won't it?


>Battle w/ Avatar (M)
Katarina
You...

Robin
...Yes? Me?

Katarina
I'm sorry. It's just...for a moment, you reminded me of someone dear to me. It's probably just in my head. Forget I said anything.

Robin
Well, you can't just leave it like that. Tell me about this man.

Katarina
Well, he had no sense of direction. And he was a terrible cook...

Robin
I'm sorry I asked...

Katarina
But he was strong, and kind... He believed in me right until the end and guided me back to the light. Even if he were reborn as someone else, he'd have a place in my heart.

Robin
Er...thank you.

Katarina
What? ...Ah! I'm sorry! I have no idea what I'm saying!

Robin
Heh, to be honest, neither do I.

Katarina
A-anyway, you're the enemy tactician, aren't you?

Robin
That's right.

Katarina
Then you're an important target. I'm sorry, but I have to take you down.

Robin
What?! Yeesh, you sure change your mind quick!


>Battle w/ Avatar (F)
Katarina
You...

Robin
...Yes? Me?

Katarina
I'm sorry. It's just...for a moment, you reminded me of someone dear to me. It's probably just in my head. Forget I said anything. You're the enemy tactician, aren't you?

Robin
That's right.

Katarina
Then you're an important target. I'm sorry, but I have to take you down.

Robin
What?! ...Why did you even start this conversation?

Petrine

Travant

>Battle w/ Stahl
Travant

Stahl
I get the feeling you could aim a little higher, but have it your way...

Raydrik

>Battle
Raydrik
Come to strike me down? Ha! It will never happen, fool!


>Battle w/ Miriel
Raydrik
Surrender now, woman, and there may be a place for you at my table.

Miriel
A quick analysis of your words, bearing, and actions makes one thing clear: A man of your diminutive ability is hardly worth my time.

Raydrik
What! How dare you!


>Deathquote
Raydrik
I was the fool...


Black Knight

Black Knight
Turn around and leave, or stay here and face your end!


>Battle w/ Kellam

Lon'qu
A woman?

Fight somewhere else. ...I don't care for women.

Well, speaking for all of us, I'd say we don't think too highly of you, either!

Splendid. I was looking for someone to bring me glory.

You there. Could you kindly keep your distance? It disgusts me to be within eyeshot of a foul boor like you.

Narcian
B-boor?! You'll pay for that insult!

Arvis

Forget talk. My flames will purge you from this world!


>Battle w/ Libra
Arvis
Move aside, woman. Stay well enough hidden, and I might yet spare you.

Anna
Hi! Want to take a look at my wares?

Sephiran
Wouldn't your comrades disapprove of you selling to the enemy, merchant?

Anna
Hey, I'm allowed to cut a profit, as long as I cut down my share of foes.

Let's see how good you are at the latter.

Battle End

>If Sigurd survived

Chrom
Did we get them all?

Sigurd
It seems so. And we owe it all to your intervention, sir.

Chrom
We're happy to be of help. Now if there's nothing else, we should be going...

Sigurd
I understand. Thank you again. Oh, but wait. You should have this, sir.

Chrom
It's an Einherjar card. "Ephraim, Restoration King"... The one from Magvelian lore.

Sigurd
Here. I trust you know how to make use of it.


>If Sigurd was defeated

Chrom
That's the last of the enemy. But our allies here took heavy casualties... We should have fought better. It was close. Too close. Next time we'll need to be more careful.
Hmm? What's that stuck to the wall there? An Einherjar card... "Ephraim, Restoration King"? The one from Magvelian lore? I bet he has a story to tell...


Ephraim Recruitment Conversation

Ephraim
Thank you. We couldn't have won without your help. The world is bigger than I thought if warriors like you have eluded my attention. I can tell I have much to learn from you. I am Ephraim. Do the people of your world know my name?


>Question: Have you heard of Ephraim?

>Yes
Ephraim
Tales of my exploits must have spread far, then. I don't know whether to feel proud or embarrassed. They don't say anything...strange about me, do they?


>No
Ephraim
Right. It was a silly question. I still have a ways to go. But one day, I'll prefect the art of war and do battle with great heroes... Then people of your world will whisper my name during their campfire tales.


>After Answer
Ephraim
You said your name was Robin, yes? Can I ask you something? Are there many great warriors like you in your world? I seek a place where I can fight the mightiest heroes alive. ...What's that? Yes, I suppose I do come across as something of a warmonger. My sister already gives me an earful about "kingly behavior." But what can I say? Something in my heart drives me to fight. I don't mean to glorify war, and I desire peace for my people... But I also enjoy testing my limits and pushing my enemies to theirs. Surely this hunger resides in any man with strength enough to sate it? In the heat of battle, there is no hatred, no morality, no profit or loss... There is only that moment. And sometimes, that is enough... Don't you agree?


>Question: Have you ever fought just for the fight?

>Yes
Ephraim
You see? I thought I saw a little of myself in you. Your tactics suggest that you take pleasure from the fight. There's a vexing contradiction there—enjoying the war that leads to the peace. But up until now, I could speak of this with only my sister. You're a unique man/woman... Robin, why don't we fight right now? Sate our hunger? No words, no reasons. Just a fight for fighting's sake. Let's go!
...Whew. I can't seem to beat you, Robin. But for the first time in a while, I've had my fill. I'll challenge you again once I'm stronger. You can count on that. I'm glad we've met. I needed a healthy rival. I promise to be there for you on any battlefield. Just say the word.

Really? Then maybe it is just me. I suppose the best tacticians must be able to fight impassively. Robin, do you think you could teach me strategy? ...What? Is it that strange for me to ask? I'm not JUST about bashing heads. You won't make a bookworm of me, but I can find time to study battle. And what better teacher than you? Do we have a deal?
