Fire Emblem: A Tale Of Two Swords

Chapter 1: The Road To The Accolade

"Stand in attention, recruits!"

It was an stern and big man in full body armor standing in front of a group of hopeful recruits, young or not.

The man seemed slender, but his figure was defnitely imposing, despite his old age. His armor too, was quite imposing, despite lacking a helmet.

The meeting in question was taking place in the castle's grounds.

There was a nearby fountain with crystilline water and even a bench nearby. The birds were chirping and some other animals could be seen running around.

It was hard to picture this place as one where a military meeting would take place.

The man in front of the recruits then cleared his throat and put both hands behind his back, "Now, don't get all tense. I just need you to stay quiet and listen to me. I shall not repeat myself, after all. You can call me Ace Glauco." The elderly man introduced himself. "I am a paladin, perhaps the only paladin, at the service of milord Alexandro and, as you can see, I am already an old man."

He brushes his mustache with a single hand and closes one of his eyes as he eyes all of the recruits.

"I will not be able to linger by his majesty's side for much longer. As much as I am powerful, I am also old. These old bones are not what they used to be, no, no." The man closes both eyes and turns his gaze to the sky.

He was an imposing figure until just now, but as he started talking about his age, it was easy to see him shaking and his knees shaking too.

What Ace said was certainly right. No matter how much training he had, it was useless with an old body like his.

"So, I will have you undergo a harsh training and other tests in order to see if you are qualified to become the next Royal Guard, or at the very least capable knights for Jotenvarr. I sorely doubt king Alexandro would risk going to war at any time, but it never hurts to be prepared. Ho ho ho!" The man let out a slight and hoarse laugh.

"Now, please step forward once you hear your names." He produced a list from his back and started reading it. "Lemme see here...."

"Squad..."

---

The meeting went on as the man announced the names of the several recruits that arrived, along with the place they should head to and their instructor.

When it was time to announce the fifth squad, Ace's face suddenly went pale. He adjusted the armor surrounding his neck and pulled it apart some.

"Squad Quinque: Hiro Anu. Diana. Pauline Bloem. Itazu. Hyakuya. Tybalt." He cleared his throat yet again and seemed more nervous with each passing second. "Please, head to the forest just behind the castle. There, you will find a woman named Hirotsuka, who shall be your instructor. A word of advice, young ones... whatever you do, don't get on her nerves."

The man gave them a slight smile that arched his mustache upwards.

Squad Quinque left for their own training grounds and Ace continued until he arrived to squad number thirty, when his face turned pale again.

"Ehem!" He coughed loudly. "Squad Trignita and last squad: Aika. Claude. Victor Mortem. Mikhail. Maximillian Velmaar. Azi Lukotta." The man turned his head to the castle. "You need to head inside the castle and to the mausoleum. There, the woman named Illian will be waiting for you... Another word of advice. Do not insult Lord Straizo or anything similar while in her presence, unless you want to become part of the mausoleum."

The Forest

Instructor Hirotsuka. Class is now in session!

The forest was incredibly thick. There was only green and brown in that area, and it would be easy to hit your head against some kind of branch standing on their way.

The battle maid was leaning against a single tree, throwing a sharp kunai and catching it back with just two fingers.

When she heard the steps of her new disciples coming, a simple smirk appeared on her face.

She'd throw the kunai in her hand at the head of the group to make them stop in place, "Stop right there."

She then would turn to them, without allowing them to speak or heeding any of their complaints at the sudden attack.

"I was getting tired of waiting. All right, quick! Your names! On the double! I need to memorize them but I probably won't if you die or resign after this."

She then would point at herself and continue her speech, "Sorry, but you drew the short strew with me on this one. There hasn't been a single person able to withstand my training, and I don't plan on breaking that record with you punks. Get ready to go through some real exruciating training! You will either go home for your moms or stay here and be knights worthy of serving Lord Alexandro!"

The woman actually seemed serious, and the fact that the elderly knight from before advised the aspiring knights of their temper, it actually seemed that they shouldn't cross her unless they wanted problems.

---

The Mausoleum

Instructor Illian. The Corpses Talk... But Don't Answer Them

When the group of knights arrive to the mausoleum, they'd just find the room empty.

The trembling girl, Illian, would just be waiting behind some structure or other for the group of knights to come.

However, she really did not expect the man that came in trashing about.

---

Claude, The Ex-Merc

"Why the hell did they even send us here?! Is this some kind of idiotic joke? 'Cause I'm not laughing, lemme tell ya, sir instructor, yo!"

The man with sharp teeth, a pair of sunglasses, a long brown coat and a skull tattoo in his chest had kicked the door of the mausoleum open and was just shouting at random, try and see if someone would really come out if he made enough of a fuss.

He was quite tall and seemingly did not use a shirt just to show off his muscles and intimidate others, as if the skull in his chest wasn't enough.

Illian went further in the back, scared of the man that had just came in.

Sadly, Claude could see her as she moved.

"Who's hiding there!" He kicked the tomb that Illian was hiding behind.

The girl fell back on her rear and then looked up at the man, looking as if she were about to cry.

"Who are ya, shrimp?" Claude approached her and bent down to look at her in the eyes.

"I-I am I-Illian. L-Lieutenant Commander a-and your instructor. I-I... I think it is a p-pleasure to m-meet you?" The girl stuttered and she seemed ot be at the verge of tears.

"What?" Was the single thing that Claude uttered, before he took Illian by her head and lifted her up with a single hand. "Who the hell do they think they are? Making a child our instructor? Are you fuckin' with me here, huh?!"

He started shouting, and the pressure on the girl's head was getting stronger.

"Stop!" The girl struggled. "You are hurting me! And if you keep hurting me...."

The girl's eyes turned cold and she started glaring at Claude, "I'll hurt you even worse."

Claude flinched for a moment but then returned the glare with one of his own, "Love to see ya try, brat."

"Bolganone!" The floor below Claude turned red, and a geiser of lava suddenly appeared from there, throwing Claude back and crashing into some of the tombs of the mausoleum.

Claude was seemingly out after that.

Illian fell to the floor as gracefully as ever and then turned her now crazed eyes to the other recruits.

"Hello, I am Illian. I feel better after hitting that guy. Don't worry, he isn't dead. The attack didn't hit him head on, so he should recover in a bit." The girl laughed a bit. "I will be your instructor at this time. If you have any doubts of my capabilities as an instructor, you can ask that guy over there."

She pointed at Claude, who was just then recovering from that crazy attack.

"Now, I need your names... um, please?" Slowly returning to her original self, the girl started shrinking.

Mikoto, Red Sages, Meeting Another Uchiha

---

So... there was another Uchiha, and he was in the Red Sages. Mikoto really needed to get acquainted with him, and get him to tell him the name of the other Uchiha he encountered before.

He was sure that her name would be as beautiful as her face.

Now, though, it was the time to think about how to kill other people in a beautiful way, not the Uchiha he encountered before.

"Understood, Kat. Your back is in the right hands with me, and I know for a fact that an Uchiha is nothing to play with." He turned to Saketsui. "I am ready whenver you are. Nothing will be able to stand in our way as long as we keep together."

Mikoto reached for the staff still strapped to his back and started spinning it in his hand.

"But an alcoholic? I heard once that there was something similar to a 'Drunken Fist' in some kind of martial art, but to see it with my own eyes. I am sure that it is far from beautiful, but it should still be a sight to see."

The sarcasm in Mikoto's voice was obvious, and the stale laugh that came afterwards made it obvious that the chuunin was actually understimating Akio.

"Mayhap if I am quick enough, I can be the one to kill the jounin. Then, I am sure that Seijo-sama would see that I am qualified to be a jounin too. I can have an even more crucial role in this war that way." The man smiled as he thought so to himself.

"I've no questions, so I'm ready when you are." Mikoto nodded.

Slightly Gay Kanata, Undecided, With Yakoul, Again

---

Kanata spent most of her morning trying to enjoy herself as much as she could.

She knew that once she was with the fucking cat, all the fun would go out a window.

She also wanted to get off her mind what happened yesterday. She did sleep though. To this day, there hasn't been a single thing that keeps Kanata the blockhead awake, though she did have some... not quite unpleasant dreams regarding Aoi. The fact that they weren't unpleasant really has her confused, though.

She went for some ice cream but it reminded her of Aoi. She spent so much time looking at it that, in the end, it was covered in sand. She just threw it to the ground out of frustration.

Afterwards, she went to the library for the first time in years and picked up a book. She rampaged after encountering an scene with an interview and now she is banned from going to that library.

With a resigned sigh, she decided to head to where Yakoul was waiting for them. She seemed to be in low spirits.

When she arrived to where the others were, she sighed again after seeing only Yakoul and Tanji. Tanji wasn't exactly a bad guy but he was like... meh, for Kanata.

She stepped into the limo and was about to let out another tired sigh before greeting her superior and teammate, but then she saw Mirai and all the frustration from before suddenly left her whole body.

"Mirai!" she shouted.

She took both of Mirai's hands into her own and looked at her with stars in her eyes.

"What are you doing here? Are you coming with? Please tell me you are! I won't stand being alone with these two guys for the rest of the mission! And there's something I just need to tell y-!"

When she was about to go there, she realized she was holding Mirai by her hands. It wouldn't have been a problem before, but now that she had done what she did to Aoi... it really wasn't anything calming to be holding the hands of another girl who, by the way, wasn't actually ugly herself.

"L-Let's just get going already. And turn on that air conditioner. It's fucking hot here." Kanata laughed nervously and fanned herself with her hand. "And wassup, Yakoul-sama. Tanji-kun." she finally acknowledged the other two

Anzai, Red Sages, Super Exciting Mission In Amegakure

---

When Seijo came to his room to wake him up, Anzai swiftly answered that he was already up, merely meditating.

He did not know whether she had not heard him or if she had and knocked anyway, but it heavily disrupted Anzai's meditation.

Well, he needed to get to work anyway, so Anzai stood up. He was sitting on the floor with both legs crossed and arms to his sides, so he impulsed himself up with his right arm and walked towards the make-up shelf he had procured for himself.

He took his hairband and put it around his forehead to keep his hair from scraping against his face. After that, he took his cane and put it on the floor. He was getting accustomed to do that as a routinge, in one way or other. Perhaps an habit he should get rid of, if he wanted people to stop looking down on him.

"Perhaps. For now, I should go to where Tametomo-sama is awaiting." He turned on his heel and left for the meeting point.

---

Later, and on top of some warehouse of other in Amegakure, the four shinobi were just about to enter.

Then, Seijo tossed something at Nori. It was definitely wild, that much Anzai could pick up from where he was sitting.

Like this morning, the blind jonin was sitting in meditation with his legs crossed, his arms to the sides and his cane against his chest between both of his legs.

"Senju chakra, eh? No wonder it seems so wild. I often wonder from where you procure such things, Tametomo-sama." He complimented their leader.

Afterwards, his name came up and he stood back up, before moving his head around some and making his neck crack.

His orders were clear. To take out any shinobi standing at the right of the warehouse. It was simple enough and it would also be quick enough.

He didn't take his sword out yet. No... he liked to lure his enemies into his trap, like a spider lures flies into its net.

"At once, Tametomo-sama." He simply said as Yudai disappeared.

He followed after Seijo and also dropped from the rooftop.

The muffled sounds of the shinobi struggling for dear life made it clear that the Yudai was already at work. The moment the kunai went into his temple, Anzai knew it was his time to act.

He dashed past Yudai and encountered the other shinobi inside the warehouse. In his side, there were at least 3 of them in his range all ready. They were all in high alert after Anzai's dash and infiltration of the warehouse, but the fact that he started touching the ground with his cane as if to verify where he was made more than one of them drop their guards.

Big mistake.

Anzai dashed forward again, unsheathing his blade and piercing the heart of the first enemy standing in front of him.

The second one started making seals for a jutsu.

Anzai was quick to take his sword out of the chest of the first shinobi and dash towards the other one. Of course, it wasn't about to go his way, using two times the same attack. Even a novice wouldn't fall for that.

He started making seals for his next attack, "Electromagnetic Murder!" Electricity started forming by his hands, but instead of using it to rip through the man's chest or similar, he put both hands around his head and increased the current of electricity.

The man started convulsing. His death wouldn't be as quick as the first, but it would be quick nonetheless.

That's when the other shinobi approached him from behind, thinking he could surprise him by attacking him with his back turned.

Anzai simply turned around, directed two fingers at the man and fired the lightning remaining in his finger.

It was not enough to kill the man, but it did stop him from stabbing Anzai's back with a kunai.

The other man was done for, so Anzai slowly took his sword out with an slight frown in his face.

"Your suffering's been needlessly long." In one swift motion, Anzai took his blade out and pierced the man's skull and brain in a single lunge. "Allow me to put you out of your misery."

With that, he took his sword back out and swung it to the get the blood out of the blade.

"Tametomo-sama, I've cleaned up here. Should I move on to the ones guarding the vault?" He was unsure of where Seijo was, her being out of his range and whatnot, but he could her the fighting, or lack thereof.

Onshoukai: The Music Appreciation Society

Kazuki

When Kazuki thought he might as well go sit down and wait for them, someone actually came through the door. It was a girl with blue hair.

Really pretty, if he might add.

"What, my hair? Well, I get it a lot." With a confident smile in his face, he gave Umi a thumbs up. "And you are in the right place! I am Kazama Kazuki."

She put his hand against his chest as he introduced himself. "But then, you already knew that. I am the president of this Music Appreciation Society, or 'Onshoukai', for short. Well, president, vocalist and often times reliable senpai."

He bowed down as he went on with his introduction. "A pleasure to meet you." and just as he said that, another girl came into the room. "Ah, another one! Great!"

He bowed down again, "Welcome! To the Onshoukai! I am Kazama Kazuki." Just as he introduced himself again, he remembered something really important. "Ah."

He turned on his heel and hurried for his backpack, before producing from them a pair of club requests handed to him by the club committe... or whatever. He wasn't one to remember every single name of every single organization.

"If you wanna join, please fill this, you two." He placed both pieces of paper in the table. "You have to put your name, major, age and here in the comments section, fill it in with the kind of instrument you play. This is only the first step to becoming the best band ever!" He pumped his fist to the air as he shouted that.

"Also, help yourself to some refreshments. There's some beer, but don't tell anyone about it." He put a single finger in front of his mouth, "And don't let yourself be swayed by this boring-looking room. We can embellish it with some cool looking posters and more! And you won't believe what I got the teachers to lend me! The key to the recording room!"

The boy was so excited that the only thing stopping him from jumping up and down was the fact that it would seem extremely childish, despite the fact that he was already being childish as it was, speaking nonstop like he was.

Chitoge

"A-Ack!" Chitoge did not react well to the sudden kind gesture coming from Shin.

She stepped back and even stumbled before falling to the floor on her behind.

Her skirt was now completely wet, not to mention incredibly uncomfortable. She then brought her knees together so as to not let the boy see her panties.

She pulled her skirt down with her right hand and covered her eyepatch with her left hand.

"Eh, ah, I'm... Imma gettin' hella wet in thi' weather." She said, her eyes going in circles.

She was confused, wet and the man started to seem as if he was sparkling.

"I-I mean, why are ya helpin' me, child of light!?"

She slowly stood up and just felt like running away. Her umbrella was leaning against some bench or other and the magazine had been dropped to the ground and was now soaking wet as well.

"And I hadn't even rea' that yet." She let out a mental sigh that also escaped through her mouth. "Neve' mind that, me! What are ya doin' going full Kansai-ben with this goo' lookin' guy in front of you? Keep your accen' to yourself girl!"

She then cleared her throat, "I mean... I am... real grateful for this. Um, thanks for the umbrella and all but..."

She then pointed to where the umbrella was, "I kinda have my own. But, I mean, I think it was real cut' from you."

"And, um, what are ya doing in a place like this?" Before she knew it, she was already trying to flirt as she twirled some of her hair in a single finger.

She had also completely forgotten about the bad weather.
