Rogues & Redeemers 3/Script

From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.

Pre-Battle

Old Hubba: Ho ho! You've returned! And none too soon! The—
Chrom: Let me guess: More Einherjar for us to battle?
Old Hubba: Yes, but not just any Einherjar—all the foes you've beaten in this Outrealm. They're all in one place now! Beat them again, and I'll seal them back in their cards!
Chrom: I suppose that means none of them will be fighting on our side this time?
Old Hubba: I'm afraid not. ...But it's so much more romantic this way, isn't it? A ragtag group of misfits, outnumbered and facing history's greatest legends... Odds stacked against them with no hope of victory in a grueling fight to the death…
Chrom: "Romantic" is not the word I would choose...

Battle

Eldigan: Is it true? Eldritch forces in the castle ruins? And they're heavily armed?
Petrine: Yes. We've already surrounded them with our combined forces.
Eldigan: Should we not first establish whether or not they mean us harm?
Petrine: None of us invited them here... Did you?
Eldigan: No...I suppose that is cause enough to brand them enemies.
Petrine: Better to strike first and ask questions later. A mouse in a bag can still bite. Although I hope we've caught something more interesting than that…

(camera pans to Chrom)

Chrom: We're completely surrounded. Enemies in every direction…
Robin: Strong ones, too, and plenty of them.
Chrom: Nothing for it but to fight our way out... All units: prepare yourselves! Today we make some new legends!

(turn 1 enemy phase)

Ike: Ugh, it won't stop eating at me... I can't shake the feeling I'm making some terrible mistake. I've never felt that before... Who are these people?

Saias: Still determined to fight? You're a fool to have come here.
Katarina: I would rather not have taken up a weapon, but you've left me with no choice!
Pr. Marth: So long as you remain an enemy of this realm, I cannot stay judgment!
Petrine: Ha! You think you stand a chance? I'll crush the arrogance out of you!
Eldigan: I'm halting your advance here and now!
Lyn: The next time we meet, I hope it's under peaceful circumstances. That's if there IS a next time…
Eliwood: How can you not see the madness in seeking wars outside your world?
Travant: I cannot stop now. I have yet to earn my gold
Ephraim: Right now, we end this—once and for all!
Raydrik: Heh. I've scraped worse things than you from my teeth!
Julia: Go home! You have nothing more to gain from this!
Black Knight: You were brave to challenge me—but in the end, foolish!
Zephiel: You seem to have woefully misjudged your limits... But I promise at least to spare you a lengthy death!
Marisa: I'll never lose. Not until the day I surpass my father.
Raigh: You want to fight me that badly? All right. But it may be quick…
Narcian: I am strong. I am wise. I am lovely. And most importantly, I am right! ...Me! No one else!

Jamke: Run home, or die in this foreign world!
Julius: You, defeat me? Don't make me laugh.

Raydrik: No... There must be some mistake…
Julia: Why do you persist... Is there some...purpose?

Post-Battle

Chrom: Did we... Did we get them all?
Robin: I believe so. Listen... It's finally quiet... Good gods, that was brutal!
Chrom: Indeed. A truly epic battle by any measure... It's a testament to our troops and your tactics that we managed to prevail.
Robin: Chrom, we found this in the ruins.
Chrom: Another Einherjar card?
Robin: Looks like it. This one says: "Ike, the Radiant Hero."
Chrom: Interesting... The hero who wielded Aether in the legends of Tellius. Shall we hear him out?

Ike Recruitment Conversation

Ike: That was impressive. I've never thought anyone half as strong as you. And believe me, I've crossed paths with my share of armies... The name's Ike. Ever heard of me?

(Question: Have you heard of Ike?)

(if answering Yes)
Ike: Well, that saves me some explaining. I'm not good with introductions anyway.

(if answeringNo)
Ike: All right, then let me tell you a little about myself. Well...more like one thing about myself. I fight for the Greil Mercenaries. ...Sorry, I'm not very good with introductions.

(after the previous question)
Ike: The army I was just fighting alongside was full of kings and lords from all over... I didn't ask for their personal histories, but they were tough. I could feel it in my bones. So, needless to say, I'm surprised to have met someone even tougher. That wasn't dumb luck, either. You'd have beaten us thirteen times out of a dozen. How did you get so strong? Is it because all your units are skilled? Does your strategy make them more than the sum of their parts? Or, is there some other unseen connection between you all?

(Question: Does your power come from unseen bonds?)

(if answering Yes)
Ike: Impressive indeed. Battles shows who people really are. I felt it out there with you. Your army moved as one. That takes trust, and time, and effort. You won because you were there for each other. That puts you right up there with Marth, a man I met here. Of course, simply finding the strongest fighters will still yield a strong army. There's no one right answer...but you've definitely sold me on your method. So, are you going back to your world now? If you want, I could go with you. I am a mercenary, after all. This one's free of charge. What you taught me is payment enough!

(if answering No)
Ike: Hmm... Not the answer I expected. But I guess it's a matter of pride, right? It takes a lot of work to train strong warriors. Even more to teach them to move as one... Why chalk up winning tactics to some unseen force? That's your hard work. To be honest, that's sort of how I do things, too. One thing I realized quick after coming here and meeting all these high-and-mighties... I am not a born leader. Sure, I've led mercenaries. I've even been general of an army...but never for long. I can't explain it. I like my comrades, and I've seen the value of teamwork. It just never gets...warm and fuzzy. I end up drifting elsewhere as soon as the fighting's done. I guess it's just in my nature. ...Funny, I never talk this much. What's gotten into me? It must have been that fight—going up against your team. I feel like we've all known each other forever now. You know, like you and I are on the same trajectory. Maybe we should stick together. I'd like to fight with you again—this time, as an ally.

(should the player choose to recruit Ike)

Ike: Seems we should fight together.

Einherjar saga epilogue

Old Hubba: You did it? You actually did it?! ...Er, that is, I knew you would do it!
Chrom: Hubba...? What are you doing here?
Old Hubba: Waiting for you, of course! I knew you would win, and I knew you would come!
Chrom: You didn't sound so certain a moment ago…
Old Hubba: Oh, these weak, bony old hands could have never rounded up all those cards alone. But you did it! You're heroes! The Outrealms owe you all a great debt!
Chrom: ...Then we're truly done here? All the Einherjar are captured?
Old Hubba: Indeed! No more nostalgic banter battles and inter-era cross-generational headaches! Every last Einherjar is back, sealed safe and sound in their little cards.
Chrom: Strange... Suddenly I almost feel sorry for them.
Old Hubba: Er, sometimes Old Hubba's hearing isn't so great... Did you just say you felt sorry for those rogue Einherjar?
Chrom: They didn't seem like phantoms... They seemed like real people.
Old Hubba: Ah... Well yes, they can seem that way. But I assure you, they are just reflections.
Chrom: Mmm... That's a good word for them. "Reflections"... As we fought, and spoke, it often felt like they were reflecting on their lives... Rehearsing some brief moment from their past they needed us to see…
Old Hubba: Sounds as though you learned some things on the road to victory... You honor the memory of those they once were. I'll be sure the Einherjar know that.
Chrom: Thank you. Then we will head back to our world. Where will you go, Hubba?
Old Hubba: Nowhere. The Outrealms are my home, after all.
Chrom: You'll remain here all alone?
Old Hubba: Oh, I've been doing it for years! Centuries! Eons! Maybe even decades. I lost count. Truth is, I used to live in your world... But after my sweet Bea passed, the Outrealms just felt like a better fit. Besides, from what you showed me here, it seems like the old place is in good hands.
Chrom: Then I suppose this is good-bye, old timer. Gods help me, I think I might even miss you…
Old Hubba: Well now, don't be so sure this is the last you'll ever see of Old Hubba! You never know what the future holds... Er, YOU never do, but Old Hubba does! Hah ha! Propheseed it ages ago! ...Prophesawed? ...Had prophesiz—
Chrom: Good-bye, Hubba.
