Fire Emblem: Unlimited Blade Works

Five Gemstones Part 2

Shirou POV

We were then running through the castle left & right until we could see the exit.

Chrom: Almost there! The exit is just— Wait. Do you feel...

*Validar & Kiritsugu warp in & attack Chrom & Shirou respectively*

Chrom: Hnrgh...

Shirou: Agh...!

Validar: Run all you like—you can't escape fate. Don't you know that?

Lucina & Davis: Father!

Validar: The Fire Emblem. Give it freely, or it will be taken.

Chrom: Just try it!

Validar: Heh heh... I won't need to do anything... Robin!

*Robin staggers, clutching her head in agony*

Robin: Nngh! Ahh...

Shirou: Robin?

Validar: Seize the Emblem and bring it to me.

Robin: Nngh, no, I... Aarrrgh!

*Robin walks over to Chrom*

Chrom: Robin... What are you...doing?!

*Robin steals the Fire Emblem from Chrom under Validar's influence; Sable is inserted into the Fire Emblem*

Validar: Well done, my child. At last, the Fire Emblem belongs to me...& with my Gemstone, it is complete! Now, to set the Table and perform the rite...

Kiritsugu: ...

*Validar & Kiritsugu warp out*

Chrom: D-damn you, Validar! Nngh...

Robin: Ah! Nngh...ahh... What have I...done?!

Chrom: Robin! We must go!

Robin: Chrom, I'm sorry! I don't...know what came over me... I'm so sorry!

Shirou: We know you are, but right now we need to focus on getting out of here!

Robin: ...Understood.

*Short Timeskip*

Robin: What I did... It's...it's unforgivable.

Chrom: Enough of that, Robin. Save your energy for helping us track him down.

Robin: No, I... You must leave me behind. He could use me again... I can't be trusted! This cursed blood in me must somehow give...my father...dominion over me...

Shirou: But he never had full control... You can fight it, Robin...& if he expects you to blindly obey, that might be the surprise we need.

Robin: Shirou, Chrom, you...you put too much faith in me.

Artoria: Get back on that horse, Robin. You can't give up now!

Robin: But you're not listening! I told you, I'm not—

Chrom: The deed is done. But you can still try to undo the damage. It's not too late!

Robin: All right. I'll...I'll try.

Lucina: ......

*Scene transition to a grassy hill at sunset*

Davis POV

I had noticed Mother walk over to a hillside & I was watching her from a distance.

Robin: ......

*Chrom walks over to me*

Chrom: Davis? What are you doing over here?

Davis: Just watching Mother to make sure she's alright...
