A/N: Hallo guys. wiErD here. Just got a new story for me to share and also it will be the first crossover story I'll be making here.

Yep. This is a crossover story of Fairy Tail and Fire Emblem Awakening. I already played the game from one of my friends and I'm so intrigued by the story. Not to mention, the support conversations that is present there and many more. (clears throat...)

I know this is quite strange but hey, I just wanted to share my plots regarding from different stories and games rather. A little change won't hurt. Honestly, I would probably think that this won't get any attention as of now then again, I simply wanted to share this to you guys. I'm not forcing you to like the story because everyone has their own tastes of reading stories. But I hope this story will somehow meet up with your expectations. :)

May it be good, great, bad or worse. It doesn't matter. What matters is how I'm able to contribute to the Community. :)

I'm not feeling bad about criticism. In fact, they help me become a better writer so feel free to express your thoughts on my stories if they have flaws and such.

And another thing about the story, there would be some changes from the canonical events from both Fairy Tail and Fire Emblem. Well I think it's more to the latter since that would be changed for the story itself. So if anyone's confused, I'll explain right along the way since I'm changing them from their original plots.

Sorry for spouting nonsense and let's just get to the story xD

Okay. So, we're off now. Have fun and Happy Reading. :)

- Two Worlds, Same Fate -

It was hell.

Everything was destroyed by the Risen. Cities and towns are pillaged by the flames of destruction. It's the end of the human race as the Fell Dragon Grima returned to the world and sought annihilation against mankind.

The different corners of the world are all unsafe as humans began to feel the terror of hopelessness. Kingdoms have fallen, armies were defeated and families and innocent people were murdered mercilessly by the abominations of the darkness everywhere.

Hope seemed to have lost already as the remnants of the last human resistance against Grima, began to lose at the last battle. Bands of different soldiers from different kingdoms formed together at the last kingdom that was soon to be ravaged by the legions of the Risen.

Lucina jumped back and forth as she skillfully stab one Risen after another with her Falchion inherited from her late father. She gritted her teeth in frustration as the situation before her was grave than she had expected.

She never thought that the Risen had already made its way to Ylisstol at this much needed time.

No. She must prevail at all cost. Not until Naga had made preparations for the ritual.

Apparently, she and the other surviving Shepherds are holding back Grima's forces in taking over the kingdom. They need more time for Naga to complete the ritual otherwise, they could not change the future to another different course from their own twisted fate.

Again, Lucina made another high jump in the air as she raised her Falchion above her and eventually slammed it to a group of Risen who were trying to kill off their remaining allies.

The Risen screamed for a few moments before dissipating into nothingness as Lucina had slashed her sword towards them. A couple of shocked troops were left dumbfounded and scared at the same time as Lucina slowly returned back to her posture and noticed their fear.

"Do no falter... We must drive them out for as long as we can... ... So stand up and fight!" She fiercely shouted as the troops were seemingly uplifted by her short words and immediately returned back to battle the Risen.

The blue-haired princess stood there as she looked around the battle before her.

It was a complete total chaos.

She glanced around every now and then as both humans and the undead had fought mercilessly at each other though with the former getting brutally killed in various ways. Lucina had to turn away from the sight of one soldier being slashed in half by a marauder carrying a large axe that easily pierced through armors like butter.

She gritted her teeth in anger as she once again moved into her battle stance and raised the Falchion against the Risen.

The fierce Risen simply roared in anger as if it was seemingly taunting the blue-haired princess against it and simply began to charge its way carelessly towards her. Lucina breathe slowly to focus her target and began to close her eyes.

The Risen raised its giant axe towards her and tried to cut her down in a downward fashion, only to get evaded by the blue-haired princess to the side as she got it wide open for a counterattack.

Without hesitation, she swiped her sword horizontally as the enemy laid still before dissipating again into nothingness.

She sighed before gearing up her Falchion towards a horde of Risen surrounding her in just moments after killing the other one.

This is getting them nowhere... Just how many are they out there?

..

..

A huge ball of ice was shot from above as Lucina had to cover herself from the blast that sends away the Risen in front of her, gaining her access to escape the trap. She smiled briefly as she saw her fellow comrade, Nah in the air assisting in any way she can for her comrades below.

"Thank you Nah..." Lucina briefly spoke as she gazed up over the manakete.

"There's more of them a few meters in front of you. Severa and Noire are trapped, please help them." Nah replied.

Lucina could only nod in response as she began to charge herself towards the horde and hastily makes her way towards her trapped allies. Slashing one Risen after another, it was becoming more of a killing streak as more of them began to dissipate from the high-speed slashes of the blue-haired princess. If some would be able to see the spectacle made by her, it would seemed like a silver blur of slashes that cannot be followed easily by the untrained eyes.

Dodging another incoming strike from the Risen, Lucina slid down to the floor before jumping up high in mid-air and mad a spinning attack that blew back some of the undead surrounding her. Clasping her sword upon the finished spin, she dashed once again further through the horde as she easily knocked a few Risen off their footing who were trying to block her strikes.

She could see the glimpse of multiple arrows launched into distances as she saw her fellow Shepherd and friend, Noire fighting off the undead army with her intricate bow, Trilent.

Lucina was about to call out but was interrupted as she saw another wave of flying bodies of the Risen coming over to her like debris to which she instinctively dodged before looking towards the doer of the action.

There stood Severa seemingly panting slowly as she held her own steel sword which was on the verge of breaking after killing off countless Risen in the past few days since Grima's return.

"Is this no end to this?" She replied back to Noire who instantly rested their backs together as they both faced the hordes on opposite sides. Their faces were already showing signs of strain as they have been fighting for quite some time now.

"I'm running out of arrows here too... You know I can't fight in close-combat..." Noire meekly replied back to her fellow companion.

"Your problem then. Don't involve me." Severa coldly replied despite her dwindling stamina.

"You're so mean even in these times."

"Well, I gotta show what I really am to what was left in this world... I doubt we're gonna have this kind of conversation again..." Severa replied before frowning in thought as her cold attitude were simply replaced with a solemn smile. Noire noticed this.

"This is not yet the end Severa... You should have more faith in Lucina's plan..." She spoke.

"That's so unlike of you... Normally, you would use your talisman to show more of your 'other' side when speaking like this.." Severa smirked before facing the horde again.

"I'll use it when it is needed."

"I suggest it now since we're completely surrounded and I'm eager to see that side of yours again." The female mercenary simply chuckled under her breath as Noire simply pouted in annoyance.

"You're really mean... ... ... Well, I guess, there's no harm in using it now." She sighed before using her talisman quickly before Severa could react.

". . . . ." A brief of silence soon followed as Noire simply stood there with her face shadowed her expression with Severa slightly sweatdropping.

Only the sounds of the Risen and clashing weapons were heard around them as the undead began to close their distance towards the duo.

"Hey I think it's time for you to release that whatever side you have right now." Severa called out but here was no response. She gritted her teeth as she began to face off the incoming hordes.

At least, she'll have to protect themselves before being attacked. Damn, is she like a machine or something? If she had to release that side of hers, then she should've told her that it would take time beforehand. Well whatever, she'll have to stall them to keep them both alive.

..

..

Lucina saw the Risen come closer to the two as she began to use her sword once again to dash further to the crowd.

"Severa! Noire!" She called, catching their attention except for the female archer who was still left standing beside Severa, seemingly unfazed from the call.

"Lucina?!" Severa exclaimed in disbelief as she saw the blue-haired princess coming into view.

And in just a moment, Noire suddenly dons her trusted bow in her hands and began to pick out multiple arrows from her quiver and aimed it all to the Risen blocking Lucina's path towards them.

"ssSILENCE! ! YOU INSOLENT FOOLS! ! I CAN'T CONCENTRATE!" The female archer suddenly bursts into a different personality as her talisman had completely did its effect on her.

After shouting mainly towards the two girls, Noire released the barrage of arrows from her bow that shot towards multiple Risen that instantly killed them in each shot, making way for Lucina to assist them from the horde surrounding them.

Severa and Lucina were just sweating from their foreheads as Noire had changed her personality again due to her late mother's talisman given to her. Seriously, why do she intend on keeping that thing if it really destroys her shy nature. At least, Severa was enjoying it.

As the Risen took a step back from the glaring archer before them, Lucina and Severa came beside her with both weapons ready against the enemy.

"DON'T NEAR YOURSELF TO ME YOU RICH PILES OF DUNG! I'M THE FIRE AND THUNDER OF DESTRUCTION!" She shouted furiously at the two who simply ignored her rant about them as if they were actually used to it.

"Can you come up a better way to explain yourself Noire? That's your 50th time saying the last part." Severa sighed without showing any hint of irritation from Noire's glare.

"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO ME?! YOU SCUM!" She retorted.

"Can we just focus here ladies? We have an army of Risen before us..." Lucina interrupted as she couldn't really stand the two's heated conversation. Even in time like this, they were still able to hold such a conversation with the fate of the world hangs in balance. Well now, mostly weighs down in favor of Grima though.

"HMPH... I'LL LOOK THE OTHER WAY THIS TIME BUT NEXT TIME WOULDN'T BE SO LUCKY FOR YOU.." Noire kept her cold attitude towards Severa who simply ignored her and looked back towards the Risen.

"There's too many of them... What are you going to do Lucina? We can't fight forever like this." The female mercenary spoke at the Falchion-wielder who simply stood strong towards the enemy without faltering.

"We'll hold them for as long as we can until Naga could complete the ritual." She simply replied.

"Sounds reasonable... It would seemed that it is also our only way to survive this seemingly impossible situation. If only the last gemstone isn't lost..." She muttered under her breath to which Lucina had noticed before turning back on her with a reassuring smile.

"It's not everyone's fault. Once, we're done stalling the army, we can go to the portal together and change our future for the better."

"I guess, I believe to your words for now Lucina... I don't wanna die yet in this world. At least not in a state like this." Severa smiled.

Lucina and Noire nodded at her as they both faced the horde once again.

"Alright! Let's go everyone!"

"Yes!"

...

...

...

In the corners of the battlefield, Inigo and Gerome were fighting endlessly together with the remnants of the human armies against the massive hordes of the Risen. They too, had the very same purpose in fighting them; to stall Grima's forces until Naga's was able to complete the ritual.

Killing off another Risen with his axe, Gerome swiftly flew with his wyvern, Minerva towards the air before making an nose dive to blow away multiple Risens from his intense momentum of his wyvern. Below him was Inigo who was making out short and swift strikes at his opponents as he both cleared them all to give way for the other human armies to reform their position against the horde.

"The situation is getting out of hand... How long do we have to do this?" Inigo spoke to Gerome who simply replied with reason.

"We need to hold this side at all cost Inigo. Until the ritual's complete for our journey, we'll have to stand our ground."

"I know... Still, I'm worried about the others." Inigo slightly frowned.

"Don't worry about them... I'm sure they're all holding out on their own same as us." The wyvern rider simply smiled before going up in the air once again to assist the front army, leaving Inigo behind.

That's right. If the others are trying their best to keep them at bay then he'll have to do his best to keep this side safe from the Risen to prevent an interruption to Naga's ritual. They all have come this far and this is the only choice they have left to save the future and themselves as well.

"Well, well... ... And I thought you were the type of guy who would not participate in this kind of time-travelling thing." Inigo muttered as he gazed over the masked rider who skillfully dived infront of the undead army and blew back another group of them upon his dive.

Picking up his sword pierced through the floor, he faced again the Risen before him together with the rest of the soldiers and began to fight back once again.

"Here I go!"

...

...

...

On the other side of the battlefield, Owain, Laurent, Cynthia, and Kjelle are all fighting against the horde of the undead together with the help of the other armies behind them. They've been pushing back the horde for quite some time now. From the looks of the incoming undead, it would really seemed like an endless wave of them coming over to them in mass numbers.

They have to take up some plans to counter them since their armies aren't that infinite apart from the undead before them. With each two or three of the undead killed, there is one human killed from it and it cannot be replaced easily since this is probably their last stand against Grima.

"Push them back!" Owain shouted valiantly as he raised his sword against the horde of undead before him with the army backing him up.

A couple of roars and cheers sounded from the army as Owain manages to give them confidence despite the situation. The Risen could only give their own roars against the humans as another wave of them came behind them in mass numbers.

Unlike for the remaining human armies stationed at Ylisstol which was probably the last kingdom from human civilization in this world, Risen armies are seemingly infinite as they came from the Grima to bring annihilation to mankind.

The continuous onslaught of the undead ravaged most lands of the earth and Ylisstol is the last place where humans seek refuge from it though it would be soon be part of the scourge as the capital is already overwhelmed by them.

"Don't be so careless Owain... We need to stay composed as possible." Kjelle called out from the front lines as she had amassed her heavily armored troops at the front to push back any huge Risen advance.

"I'm sorry. It's just that my Cerestil is yearning for more battles than this." Owain simply reasoned, earning Kjelle the sweatdrop as she instinctively stabbed a Risen coming toward her.

"Please stop naming your swords and get back to formation. If what Cynthia says is true, then you'd be facing a huge wave of undead in front of you." She warned as she managed to see the advancing Risen from the distance.

"Well the more, the better and don't hurt Cerestil's feelings." The myrmidon retorted .

"Whatever, just come back here and form up with Laurent. He should be finished charging up his spell."

Hearing the name of his friend, Owain simply smiled as he immediately nodded and fell back to the armored troops and reassess their plan. He caught sight of the mage seemingly focusing his own magic as lightning sparks began to surround him in vast quantities.

"Are you ready Laurent?" Owain questioned as the Mage had finished his spell.

"Ready as I'll ever be..." Laurent spoke as he held on to his book as magical circles appeared around him and began to expand briefly then contracting again as the lightning became deadly.

Laurent's eyes gazed over the incoming Risen as he pointed his hand with lightning, following its direction in a seemingly fast pace before chanting.

"Receive judgement from the heavens... Thoron!"

And in just a second, a large beam of lightning erupted from the mage's hand and blasted it's way towards the horde of the undead that electrified them as the beam went through them.

The intensity of the lightning was so strong that it disintegrated almost anything as it blasted through the end of the kingdom, alarming a lot of the undead to become wary of it.

Smoke cleared as Laurent's spell eradicated the undead in front of them in just mere seconds. Owain could only gape in surprise at the display of power while Kjelle could only smile as he lessened the burden on holding them back. Though it proved useless as another swarm of Risen troops filled the ravaged area and began to clash with the frontal army.

"Even with that spell, they just keep coming..." Laurent bit his lip in frustration.

"Owuuoo! I'll prevail with my Cerestil!" Owain shouted again in his usual theatrical behavior as he held onto his named sword, Cerestil in his hands towards the enemy together with Kjelle and Laurent.

"Please refrain from your attitude Owain... We're in the middle of a crisis here." Kjelle reminded the myrmidon with a striking tone on her voice which made him to slightly flinched from it.

"Ah, come on Kjelle. Cerestil is listening too you know. But enough of that, as long as the hero stands with his trusted sword, Excalibur in his hand, the future will be saved."

Wait did he just named his sword earlier? Why change it again into something different?

"Stop arguing amongst yourselves and help out will ya?" A perky voice sounded above them as both three heads looked up, only to see Cynthia in her own pegasus which was ridden by her late mother years back. She held on an intricate lance with three spikes at the end as she held it high and stabbed a Risen pegasus knight who dissipated into the air in just seconds.

"C-Cynthia's right... I'll fight to persevere." Another voice with a much rather timid tone sounded behind them as a large rabbit-like creature leaped above the knights as Yarne headed straight into battle. He fiercely kicked a couple of Risen troops from the battlefield therefore, knocking them out of the way before retreating back to the other children as well. He returned back to his normal form as he held on to his beaststone.

"Not bad for a Taguel..." Cynthia remarked as she descended down together with her pegasus and regrouped to the other Shepherds.

"I just got healed by Brady from my injuries from the last battle. I would do so again to repay his debt." Yarne spoke.

"Aren't you scared?" The perky pegasus knight asked.

"W-What?"

"That you might get killed here. I mean, you were really worried about your status as the last taguel here."

Yarne could only make up a smile towards the knight as he began to look back towards the Risen army in front of them.

"Yes... I'm really scared but there isn't much of a choice here. I'd rather fight than to run away. If what's Lucina said was true, then I'd be willing to give it all to complete the task."

Cynthia could only smile in satisfaction as she found his resolve in this battle. There is not going back now. They need to hold them off for as long as they can in order to get the divine dragon to complete her ritual for the time-travel journey.

Another wave of bodies were flung into the air as both parties turned over to the area, only to see Lucina, Severa and Noire making some mayhem over the enemy lines. The three skillfully used their skills as they cut down one Risen after another in a seemingly fast pace.

They were currently fighting behind enemy lines to create confusion among the undead army which somehow gave the human army to reassess their situation. With Nah in her current manakete form, she served as an escape option for the three if they managed to finish their job in stalling the Risen.

It took only for another couple of minutes for them to complete their task as they saw a faint light behind the human army to which they saw Naga, having to complete the ritual just in time.

The Shepherds were relieved to see the ritual complete as the light slowly expands as it created a portal for them to travel. They knew that it's only a matter of time before they can finally depart from the world to change the future.

Everyone is prepared by it. They all have agreed to change the course of history in the past to prevent the catastrophe to which their world had suffered. They must warn the past about the return of Grima.

"Everyone fall back!" Lucina shouted from afar which was heard by the Shepherds back at the army and immediately took action of the order.

The blue-haired princess soon looked up to the sky and began to call out.

"Nah! Let's get back..."

"Alright!"

The manakete simply made for a nose dive from behind as Lucina and two girls simply jumped, only to be caught by the manakete in its wings as they all held on tight before making their way back towards the army.

"Just a little more time... then we're able to go back now right?" Noire meekly asked, having to keep her talisman again into her pocket that reverted her back to her usual shy and withdrawn attitude.

"Do you think we can really change the events here by going to the past?" Severa asked worriedly.

Lucina hesitated first at her question before pondering her thoughts about it as they rode on with Nah back towards the army. To be honest, she can never really know if she can really change the past with just words and actions done by them. She believed that time is merely flowing to its original course and their actions would only delay the inevitable.

Nevertheless, she must try to at least prevent the destruction. This will be her first time challenging fate itself. Somewhere in her heart, she believed that fate can be changed despite its favor on Grima's side. She just cannot believe that the world should just fall into the hands of the Fell Dragon.

There is a way for them to change that and Naga seemed to have believed it herself thus she entrusted the task of time-travelling to them for the sake of mankind.

..

..

She faced the archer as she finally found her resolve over their decision.

"Yes... We can." She spoke with finality with the female mercenary smiling in satisfaction together with other girl

And in just a few more minutes, they finally descended back to the army with the rest of the Shepherds waiting for them. Lucina and the two girls dismounted from Nah's back as she began to revert back to her human form and kept her dragonstone to her pocket as well as they await the completion of the ritual.

"Lucina! I'm glad you're back." Owain spoke with signs of relief over his face.

"Thanks Owain. We're all back now. We managed to buy some time for Naga's ritual. Let's hope that it works." Lucina replied.

"Are we all ready for this?" Cynthia asked the group.

All of them simply gave a brief nod towards her and each other as they faced the Naga who was standing before them with the light of her ritual slowly morphing into a door-like appearance that seemingly blinded them to which they had to cover their eyes from it.

"O, humans, this will our last meeting with each other. All I could do now is to pray for your safe travels in the streams of time for it was a dangerous path that some of you may scatter away from each other." Naga spoke.

"We're ready to take the risk." Lucina nodded.

"Very well. Then I shall open the portal for you... ... ...Good luck. I believe that you all have the potential in changing this ruinous future for the better."

..

..

..

And with that, Naga raised her arms in the air as she began to use her power to the portal as it began to morph faster than before into a door-like appearance. Everyone waited as the divine dragon tries to finish stabilizing the portal with her divine powers for the journey.

Everyone was feeling tense about the incoming situation. It was then she felt a light pat on her shoulder to which she prompted to look around and saw Gerome trying to give her some confidence.

"Don't be afraid. You made it this far with your strength and banded the rest of us together to complete this plan." Gerome spoke.

"Thank you..." She replied back only to receive a mysterious mask from him. She took it from him and looked at it closely.

"What's this?"

"When we go back to the past, we need to make sure that we don't raise any suspicions from the people there since we don;t know what kind of effect it will give to the future if our identities are exposed..." He paused before shaking his head down with uncertainty.

"... For now, you'll have to think of an alias for your name in order to conceal yourself. I talked everyone about it and we only need to change the main events that had led us here in the future by doing it in the sidelines." He finished.

Lucina could only make a determined look as she nodded in response at his decision.

..

..

Just as they were preparing for their journey, a large gust of wind blew the castle fiercely, catching them in surprise as the walls and windows broke down from the force of it. Humans and Risen were thrown away like swatted flies from the wind and the kingdom was severed mostly on its critical state. Some of the Shepherds were knocked out from the wind that led them lying on the ground as Lucina and other Shepherds who managed to survive the ordeal, stood up in complete disbelief as castle room was instantly destroyed with a large smokescreen obscuring the area outside.

"W-What happened? Are you guys alright?" Lucina staggered as she held on to her Falchion and used it to support her as she stood up. She saw Owain, Inigo, Severa and Gerome beside her, wearing the same distraught looks on their faces at the sudden attack.

"Yeah... B-But not most of us... Hurry we need to tend to them immediately." Gerome managed to regain his composure as he ordered Minerva to carry the unconscious members of the Shepherds in its back.

"I'm on it!" Brady shouted as he began to make his way towards the unconscious Shepherds and began to heal them with his staff.

"What in gods' name was that?" Severa spoke after regaining her own composure and asked the blue-haired princess who was clueless as her.

"I-I don't know..." She muttered.

"Stay focused... I feel something sinister behind that smoke." Inigo silenced them as he narrowed his eyes over the smoke only to see Naga doing the same but with a very much worried look.

"Grima... ..." She muttered, getting them to widen their eyes in surprise at the revelation.

"The Fell Dragon is here?!"

Naga didn't answer their questions as a rather malevolent voice resounded from the outside and into the castle room that confirmed their worries easily just by recognizing the grave tone present within in it.

"The human race is already finished... Your future has already been written since long ago..." Grima spoke viciously as the Shepherds, together with the unconscious ones managed to hear his spiteful growl against them.

"That is not true Grima... These humans will prevail..." Naga spoke defiantly against his claim which slightly shocked them.

"You still believe in these pathetic beings Naga? How low have you become?"

"You will not take their future that easily."

"Ha! These children already lost their parents and there's absolutely nothing to stop me since the final gemstone was lost..."

"I will not let you any further here Grima..."

"Are you challenging me Naga?"

"No, I'm merely stalling you." The divine dragon looked back to the Shepherds with a hint of slight hope in her eyes, seeing her faith in them.

"Go now humans. Change the future and challenge your fates."

"You're not getting anywhere humans. I won't let you go... You can never change your fate. You're all destined to die!" Grima roared viciously as he began to crush the damaged castle with his enormous body, only to be protected by a large barrier created by Naga with her powers to stop him from interrupting the Shepherds.

And with that, the two legendary dragons began to fight in their own battle as Naga was forced to use minimum amounts of her powers to slow down the Fell Dragon who was trying make his way towards the Shepherds.

Lucina gritted her teeth as she struggled to get back on her knees, watching Naga fight it out against Grima. After all, it was her first time seeing them clash against each other in this world.

Something so rarely to be seen in her life at this time.

Her mind about the two fighting divine dragons was cut short as she was called upon by a familiar mercenary.

"Let's go Lucina... We can't let that nasty dragon follow us to the Outrealm Gate." Inigo called out as he managed to get her out from her trance and focus on the task at hand.

She looked back to her comrades as she picked her Falchion before giving Naga one last look from behind and could only show a small hint of gratitude to her for giving them another chance to live and change their ruinous future.

It was probably not enough for such gratitude on her account though.

The blue-haired princess looked back towards the Shepherds who all managed to get themselves conscious after the shock earlier with a worried look.

They all looked at her with determination as some of them were resting their arm at each other's shoulders to support them.

"Alright... Let's go everyone." Lucina shouted in valor as she held on her Falchion once again and began to alter her hair in short length and wore the mask, given to her by Gerome. Her mask has a similar color to her dark blue hair with its design, made to entirely cover her face, mostly to her eyes as it only gave a thin horizontal lines for her eyesight.

It would be also perfect for her to use it in order to hide her Brand of the Exalt located in her left eye. She'll have to keep a low profile once she got back to the past.

The Shepherds stood in front of the door portal before them as they all gave a nervous and hesitant look at each other.

"Well... ... This is now or never... Let's go!" Owain shouted as he bravely took a step together with Noire and were shocked as the portal instantly pulled them inside without saying much of a word to the rest of the Shepherds before disappearing.

They all looked again towards each other about what happened.

They're gonna be alright... Right? I mean, what's the worse thing that could happen when doing time-travelling? They could only hope for a safe travel since Naga couldn't know about the results of this travel despite her being a divine dragon deity.

As Owain and Noire had first entered the portal, the rest of the group followed to them as the two disappeared into the light without knowing what really happened as they set foot in it. They didn't need to hesitate further. They just need to have faith to themselves and hope for the best as they began to travel into the Outrealm Gate to change their future.

Each of them disappeared upon entering the blinding portal as Gerome was finally the last one of them, together with Lucina who still haven't stepped into the portal like the others. The masked wyvern rider looked over to his comrade, only to see her already donning the mask he had given to her a few moments ago.

He slightly frowned as he could see her not moving at her current position as if she wasn't going with them. The battle behind them further intensifies as Naga and Grima had began to destroy most parts of the castle around them.

"Come on. Let's go Lucina."

The blue-haired princess simply stood there before looking at Naga who was struggling to hold the Fell Dragon with her powers.

"You should go Gerome. I'll have to assist Naga in anyway I can to prevent him from getting closer until you're all inside the portal."

Her response only made the wyvern rider to widen his eyes in disbelief.

"What are you talking about?"

"Go Gerome... I'll follow you soon after I finished here." She spoke with finality, getting the masked person so grit his teeth in frustration before facing towards the portal.

"You better come soon... We can't do anything without you there... So don't die here."

Lucina could only smile in response before holding her Falchion in her hands and faced the other direction.

"I'm not planning on dying here. Not until I see my parents again."

Her response was all he needed as he began to step into the portal together with Minerva and finally disappeared into the light to which it would seemed like that he already time-traveled together with the rest of the Shepherds, leaving only Lucina in the smoking ruins in the castle together with Naga and Grima.

"Be safe everyone..." Lucina muttered.

It was the only thing she could say as she began to face the horde once again who were trying to make their way towards the portal.

"I won't let you pass!" She shouted in defiance as she slashed the incoming Risen troops with her sword and killed them easily. The undead were seemingly taunted as they all gave a wild roar against the sole princess who was holding her ground against them.

And in just a split-second, half of the Risen troops were easily slashed in half as Lucina disappeared in a silver blur and killed them easily with her Falchion. They screamed in agony for a few seconds before dissipating into nothingness.

She then, dashed herself towards Naga and Grima with the former being overpowered by the latter in terms of using his dark powers against the divine dragon.

..

..

..

"What's wrong Naga?! It seems like you're already losing to me." Grima mocked in a condescending manner as he tried to force out more of his dark power against the struggling divine dragon who was trying desperately to keep the barrier closed from him. Her expression was blank despite her situation against the Fell Dragon as if she wasn't seemingly worried but in truth, she was really trying her best to hold him down from getting into the portal.

"Neither of us can't kill each other, no matter how hard you try. Your powers don't have the power to make or unmake everything around here as we are merely strong dragons mistaken as deities by the humans. The only thing that could kill us is our own powers." Naga blankly spoke her reason.

However, the Fell Dragon only scoffed at the reply.

"You keep on siding with these pathetic beings who were supposed to ruled by someone higher than them. I'm about to let you helplessly watch as your precious little humans die in front of you." Grima roared in defiance.

"They will overpower you Grima... They never fear you nor me. In fact, we should fear them because of their abilities that transcend from ours."

"Fear?! Look around you... Mankind is long since doomed from the very start. And your beliefs about them were false as they were nothing but little beings meant to be ruled by me."

"The humans will never bow down to you..."

"I'M THE FELL DRAGON! ALL OF YOU ARE ALL BELOW ME AND YOU WILL ALL BOW DOWN TO ME! ! !" Grima roared ferociously as he began to destroy the barrier.

"We'll never bow to the likes of you!" A familiar voice resounded from the sides, prompting the Fell Dragons to shift his giant dragon head to wards the source only to see Lucina dashing towards him with the Falchion in hand and instantly stabbed one of his eyes, making the mighty dark dragon to take a leap back away from the castle as he began to steer away from the broken castle where Naga and Lucina are.

"You insolent human! How dare you!" Grima roared to the skies as dark beams came down from blacken skies and struck the ground around him as legions of the Risen appeared from the ground and began to march their way towards the castle with Naga and Lucina looking down from above.

"Let's see if you can survive this human! Your friends are no more and it will be a matter of time before I can enter the portal." The Fell Dragon roared evilly as he taunted the two enemies at the castle with his undead legions.

..

..

Meanwhile, Lucina and Naga were simply looking down at the mass numbers of Risen armies making their way towards Ylisstol.

"Exalted one. There is not much time for the portal to remain open. Soon, the portal will close and there will be no point in return. Why haven't you entered like the rest of your comrades?" Naga asked curiously despite keeping a blank look towards the situation below the ruined kingdom.

"I wanted to lend a hand to the great divine dragon who gave us another chance to make things right... At least I wanted to give some hope for the other settlements out there fighting the Risen like us..." She paused.

"... Besides, I wanted to make sure no one follows us through the portal."

"Forgive me but I would honestly speak that the world has already ended here together with me... Though, I see that your unending hope surely reminds me of the greatness of humanity." Naga slightly smiled.

"Thank you... ... Right now, I would be repaying a debt to you before we part..."

"Your presence is welcomed though unnecessary."

"It doesn't matter... If father would be the same position as me, I'm sure he would do the same."

"Very well Exalted one. I shall fight alongside with you as this will be my only reminder that I had once fought together with mankind."

Lucina didn't speak further as she faced her the Risen troops advancing towards them. It's time to fight back.

The blue-haired girl suddenly held her Falchion ready in her hands as she faced the hordes alone with Naga beside her.

"For the sake of the future, I will prevail!" Lucina shouted valiantly as she charged into the horde alone to which Naga had performed multiple spells to disintegrated the Risen in massive numbers therefore, giving the blue-haired princess the chance to keep them at bay before she could make her way towards the portal in the time of its closure so that the Risen couldn't follow.

..

..

She swung her sword up and down with the tip of it tasting the black mist of dissipating Risen soldiers. Just a little more time to hold them off before the portal closes. She can't allow them to follow her towards the past otherwise, she'll be bringing the whole undead army to the past which had little preparation of such a gruesome event.

If that comes into fruition then their efforts in travelling back will be for nothing. That's why, this will be her greatest battle yet. To hold off as many Risen as she could until the portal closes.

Again, she lifted up her blade, facing the enemy with eyes of determination concealed in the mask though with her teeth gritting against them, showing her emotions. And in one mighty push, she dashed forward towards the enemy as she disappeared into a silver blur and slashed her way towards her enemies' defenses.

Multiple bodies are flung over due to the intensity of her speed and swordskill that she honed to perfect from her late father. The undead army were seemed to be taunted again as their armies are being stalled only by one person.

Suddenly, she heard a contracting sound coming from behind her and saw the portal slowly contracts from its original form. The time must be near before the portal towards the Outrealm will be closed in any moment now. She once again turned back and refocused her attention towards the battle.

Just a little more and she'll be ready to go back with the others. She'll just have to make sure that she will be the last one to go inside that portal in this world. She mustn't let Grima or the Risen to follow her back.

Not preventing them from going towards the portal, Lucina once again prepared her stance to face the Risen.

SHANK*

An ear-piercing sound of impalement was heard throughout the battlefield, prompting everyone including Lucina to stop their concentration and focus against her enemies and looked over to the source.

Her eyes widen in complete horror and shock as she found Naga up in the darkened skies of the world, coughing up blood from her mouth. She then fixated her sights towards a huge black spike pierced over to her back and to the front.

A trail of blood gushed out from the divine dragon's body, tainting her body and clothes in a shade of crimson red.

Lucina couldn't stand the sight before her as she couldn't help but look away from the gruesome sight. Grima chuckled evilly as he successfully defeated the divine dragon.

And in one powerful swing, he lash out his morphed spike to get rid of the divine manakete from his claws. Naga smashed back to the top of Ylisstol, blowing up huge shockwaves and sending enormous debris towards the ground. Lucina had to cover herself from the blast for a few seconds before recomposing herself from the situation and immediately ran after the gravely wounded manakete.

"Naga!" The blue-haired princess shouted out in worry as she went over to the divine dragon and held its head in her arms to help her. She couldn't do anything to stop the bleeding as it continued to gush out from her body. Naga was powerless to move a single finger.

She could only move her eyes and make little movements as her body had taken their toll.

"Just wait for a moment. I'll give you something to heal you-" Lucina tried to reach out a healing bottle but was stopped by Naga as she held her bloodied hands unto hers before making a disapproving nod.

"T-There's not much time Exalted One... The p-portal is closing. Y-You must assure that you'll be able to get inside."

"I-I will... But after I'm done healing you."

"There's no need... My role here is done... My body is beginning to disappear and I would be only placed into a deep slumber as I was struck by Grima."

"B-But..." Lucina had to stop as she could see the divine dragon's body starting to disappear from her grasp leaving only a trail of blood in her hands. Naga could only smile contently as she simply closed her eyes until her whole body shone light before disappearing completely from the world, leaving Lucina behind.

'I'm glad I could help... ... I could only entrust my faith in you humans... Farewell my beloved humans.'

Her last words drifted towards area where Lucina stood with her face shadowed by the use of her mask, obscuring her expression from the outside. But after a few moments, a tiny drip of tear finally made its way to her chin as she put down her mask and wiped her tears away.

She was really gone. She didn't have the time to save her with all her might. She never wanted her death to be as gruesome as that yet she departed from the world with a warm smile and an open heart to believe in them.

Her faith towards mankind didn't change even at the last of her breath before disappearing. It just shows just how much she deeply trusted them with all her heart.

"Why?... Why couldn't I do anything?" The blue haired princess muttered as tears from her eyes had started to flow while holding down her mask and her blade in her hands as the world around her continues to ravage.

"Why did it have to become like this?"

Her words of sentiment was immediately mocked by a taunting sound of a dragon above her.

"Hahaha... Pathetic! Just pathetic! This shows how much fragile and weak humans are. You all lose your strength at the death of your other brethrens. This is the weakness of the human race and that's why you were all ruled by anyone greater than you."

He continued to mock Lucina as he hovered around the torn kingdom before slamming his head towards it to crumble to kingdom into a smoking rubble.

"This is the end for you little human!"

Grima shouted as he sent out morphed black spikes towards the blue-haired girl who remained still and unmoving from her position as the attacks neared her.

And in just a split-second, the spikes were instantly slashed in half as Lucina also instantly rose up from her battle stance with Falchion on her hands. Grima was taken by surprise as he couldn't believe that a human manages to deflect his attack.

Lucina stood there once again before looking back towards the Fell Dragon with tears still present in her eyes though it was replaced by a sheer determination written in her heart.

She had enough of the insults and mockery towards her kind and she wanted to show her anger for underestimating them wholly.

"You will never be victorious! Fate will be never be written by anyone including you. We will decide our own fates!" Lucina shouted before pointing her Falchion towards Grima before donning her mask once again to conceal her face.

This is not the time to be mourning. Naga had fulfilled her role to help them and it's time for them to act. They will change the future.

Another contracting sound was heard once again from the portal as it becomes little by little. The horde roared as they began to run after the portal.

Just as they were about to enter, they were blown back by a intense slash coming from the masked blue-haired princess who stood as their final obstacle in entering to the portal. the portal shrinks once again and Lucina gave one last glance towards her ruinous world before bidding it farewell inside her thoughts. She stepped into the portal as it shrinks once again, making it impossible to the horde to scoop themselves in thus, rendering them unable to move in any further.

"This is not yet the end human... ... I will follow you all to stop you from destroying my plans." Grima spoke evilly as the portal shrinks into a minimal size. He roared once again to the darkened skies as he seemingly showed it as a sign of victory over his mortal enemy, Naga.

The Risen all stopped and began to join in the roar as they have successfully defeated the last human settlement in the world.

This was their victory but for Grima, he had to make some changes in his plans involving several humans who managed to escape to the Outrealm Gate. Even though it was their victory, the fact that those humans managed to warn the past will greatly change the course of history.

But that is not how the Outrealm Gate works. Travelling back in time was never attempted before by any being, including him and Naga since they had no idea of what consequences it will bring to the timelines that would soon follow. And this is the first time he had witnessed anyone to use the portal to travel back in time.

Nevertheless, having those few humans escape will sure bring him some grave news. If what Naga had said is true, then this would be a great problem even for him.

He had to take some measures to stop their plans in changing the course of history.

Once again the Fell Dragon growled lowly as he smirked evilly behind his big snout, indicating his evil plan was already in motion.

"No matter where you all go, I'll be there to stop you..." Grima muttered as he looked towards the darkened skies, roaring once again in victory. The burning fires of hell had descended upon the world and every living being is now in danger at the face of the Risen and the Fell Dragon.

A future defeated by fate...

..

..

..

Lucina gritted her teeth as she kept shielding her eyes from the blinding light, obscuring her vision before her. Currently, she was enveloped by a stream of light with a mix of many luminescent colors that flows against her like a river flowing against her body though she did not receive any resistance from it.

It almost like she was travelling motionlessly in the endless stream of time without any dead end before her. She just floats there, waiting and watching as the color lights continue to flow against her.

Is this what Owain and the others had experienced before stepping in the portal?

Whatever it is, she could only find the answer once they reunited again in the past.

Her mind was focused once again towards Naga and her world.

'Will we be able to change the past for our future?'

She thought out in disbelief as she could feel some doubts about doing this kind of thing. She knows that this was the last ditch effort to save mankind but this plan was beyond logic.

They're literally talking about travelling back in time. Something's bound to happen in the nearby future and the first thing she should do is to change the significant events that happened in the past and find her other comrades. She's sure that they both got separated from each other after stepping in this portal.

No one really knows what happened to them but she could only pray for their safety.

..

..

Then suddenly, she felt a strong pull from her body, forcing her to her left that made her widen her eyes in alarm. Her eyes shifted over to the side as she could somehow see a huge door-like portal at the side. It was big enough for a giant creature like Grima to go through but something was off.

She didn't know that there was a door-like portal at the side of the stream. Is this where Owain and the others came out?

She didn't need to argue inside her mind as she felt herself being pulled towards it, seemingly forcing herself to go to the portal without knowing of what will happen to her. She then, shifted her body into position as she began to make dive towards it.

Wearing her mask once again to conceal her identity, she readied her Falchion beside her and prepared for the worst.

And in one mighty dive, she flew fast towards the portal and finally got out from the streams of time.

Due to the fast dive, she had to prepare to land to the ground hard as she couldn't slow her momentum and inevitably ended her tumbling straight to the cold hard ground.

She gritted her teeth in frustration as she felt her body sore after that fall and could only move her body slowly to regain her footing. Drainking up a potion to patch herself up, she immediately restored her power and tried to adjust her surroundings after that dizzy flight in the endless stream.

It only took her a few seconds to return back to her senses before dusting herself from the dirt that caught in her clothes.

However, her current actions were stopped completely as she heard an enormous explosion of flames, erupting behind her. She widen her eyes in suprise and complete disbelief as her surroundings wasn't as she had expected it to be.

Everything was torn and destroyed, leaving huge rubble and debris around it. The ground color was different from her world. Instead of seeing a lush green pasture around her, she could only see a red barren wasteland around her. A red moon was shining above her which was very different to her world as they had none in the first place since their skies were darkened by the black smoke created by huge fires from houses and other human civilizations.

"W-What is this place?" The blue-haired princess could only stutter in disbelief as she landed back to her knees, watching helplessly as the surroundings begins to remind something similar back to her own world.

But this isn't her world. Their past wasn't something like this. Even if it is, then Grima somehow managed to come back before them and destroyed their past as well.

Her father and other Shepherds are also defeated if this happened. Even her comrades who went back with her. She doesn't want to determine their fate as she hoped that this wasn't their past.

She tried looking for someone but found nothing but flames and embers erupting from the ground in almost everywhere.

It was a living hell for her.

Once again she heard another explosion erupting behind her from afar, prompting her to turn over to the source and widen her eyes in shock as she could see a kingdom quite different from Ylisstol. It was also crumbling as if it was being destroyed by something.

A stream of flames erupted from the skies as it headed its way towards the ground before exploding upon impact. Her eyes fixed over to the red skies and couldn't believe what she saw.

Above her was a multitude of giant creatures flying over to the skies, seemingly attacking anything from the ground with a large streams of flames coming out from their mouths.

Only one thing had emerged from her mind as she recognizes the creatures...

Dragons.

'W-What is happening?' She thought out in disbelief as she couldn't process everything inside her head. How come dragons are destroying their world? The only dragons who were present in their time was Naga and Grima.

Did she travel back into a more early past? If so, she probably gotten herself into a big problem right now. What's more is that the creatures she calls, dragons are destroying everything around her.

It was then she heard a loud rumble from the ground. She definitely felt it.

It was huge and menacing even though it was just a tremor from the ground. Then again, another series of tremors shook the ground where she was standing, prompting her to contain her composure. It almost feels like giant footsteps.

She turned around and saw a giant door behind her bathing in white light as it was seemingly open. She could only assume that she came out from this door as it's shape matches the same door-like portal inside the streams of time.

She had to disregard her assumptions as her eyes widen in surprise as a giant creature emerged from light. It was a giant lizard with a pair of giant four legs and a set of bat-like wings strapped behind its massive body. It's head was in a triangular shape with three horns placed on each side. It made a loud growl as it began to flap its wings wide before gathering an immense force of wind to propel itself upwards to join its brethren above.

Lucina had to sprint herself away from its path as she fell behind a giant rock to conceal her presence from the creature.

She took a deep breath as she tried to assess her surroundings. Her eyes then finally fixed over to a broken gate, seemingly leading towards the human kingdom she saw earlier.

The road path was barely recognized as debris covered most of it.

Another series of flames were shot out from the skies as the dragons breath down their hellfire towards the ground, generating powerful explosion that could send shockwaves from afar.

Lucina walked over to the broken gate and finally saw a rusted sign that was still barely attached to it.

It was then she finally realized...

This isn't her world... As the sign had read, "Crocus, The Flower Blooming Capital of Fiore."

A/N: And stop here. Chapter 1 stops here. :) Hope ya like it.

And of course, for some explanations for the first chapter. I changed some of the events regarding the events in Lucina's world which was shown with little or vague scenes and explanations before her journey towards the past. This chapter expands on that with the mix of some of FE's DLCs which resulted into this chapter.

Another thing is about her time travel. Everyone is still confused about the time paradoxes in FE from the other usual paradoxes. In FE Awakening, it was shown that Lucina who traveled back was a different person from the baby Lucina of the present which kinda creates a set of different Timelines, generally named as A and B with the older Lucina coming from A timeline to B timeline.

Forums and arguments were still being discussed about this as it was being debated whether the two Lucinas are both one person or not as so did the other children who came from the future. So I decided to make one of my own so here goes,

(Let it be known that this is an inaccurate explanation or rather an opinion of time paradoxes from the author. Be reminded that it did not hold any facts to explain anything related to time traveling.)

The Theory of Time Travel by wiErD SpeCtrumz

"Timeline A and B are both similar in a different level of plane, though their events and other happenings converge on one point especially significant ones. Picture it with two straight lines separated from each other until a significant event happened simultaneously which caused those lines to intersect into one point where the same events happened on both timelines. Now let's picture Lucina's involvement on her time travel. If she came from timeline A and proceeded to Timeline B, this created parallel version of herself. The older her and the younger her. This however did not change any of them as they have both come from different timelines. This is also supported the existence of multiverses (Again, an opinion only.)"

"Same thing could be applied to the Future Lucy travelling back to the present time as she came from the ruined future which is by example, from timeline A to the present timeline B. This strengthened the claim to where the Future Lucy returned to her original world where she had died and reunited with her also dead friends which is from timeline A. Her role in the manga prevented the other timeline from diverting the same course to which her timeline had came into, which is their defeat against fate."

"The last thing about the explanation is that this doesn't support the claim of one person travelling back in time of the same timeline. Rather, it only showed one person travelling into another timeline to prevent it to converge to the same point where the previous timeline had went. On a side note, it can be hinted that time is like a flowing river where all the timelines follow into the same events. If this can be applied to the theory, then the fact of all different timelines happening both at the same time is evident. (Again an opinion only.)"

- If this theory was already mentioned as a possibility from forums and discussions then I would gladly given credit to whatever who thought about it but I'm lazy to look up so please if someone happen to have the same explanations, please inform me to avoid any misunderstandings. :)

That's all for now for the explanation. Other questions will be answered on the next chapter of the story.

Hope ya guys like it. Again, this is my first crossover so go easy on me guys :)
