Plot
- Main articles: The Mask Laughs/Script and The Mask Laughs/Conversations
After receiving a call from Gotoh to come to the Ice Dragon Temple to claim the Lightsphere, Marth is informed by Jagen that Horace, an ally from the War of Shadows, has been cornered by the assassin Legion. Marth and his companions thus beat back the seemingly endless waves of Legions by killing the main Legion, rendering them all inert, and save Horace in the process. Having saved their comrade, Marth and co. go further north into the desert to answer Gotoh's call. Meanwhile, the leader of the assassins, Eremiya, orders Clarisse to pursue Marth and Katarina to get rid of all of the inert Legions.

The goal of the chapter is to defeat the real Legion. The boss will always be one of three Legions at the northernmost point of the map and is randomly determined each attempt. Thankfully there is an easy way to determine who the real Legion is. First, place your cursor on on the four Legions to the south of the top three. Next, tap the L button until your cursor lands on one of the three Legions in the north. The first your cursor lands on is the real Legion. Once you've determined the real Legion it merely becomes a manner of reaching him with your strongest unit and killing him. Units like Palla and Catria are good for reaching Legion quickly, you can even temporarily reclass them to Swordmasters to use the E-rank Ladyblade that Malice came with to potentially pull off a one-round kill. Barring that, Malice can also make good use of the Ladyblade especially when promoted. As you make your way towards Legion beware of the Legion reinforcements that come from the south as they have Devil Axes and can unexpectedly kill units that are left exposed
