Pre-Battle

Old Hubba: Oh huzzah! You're back! You're back to save this Outrealm once and for all! So I've got good news, and I've got GREAT news! What'll it be?
Chrom: Well that's a switch... What's the good news?
Old Hubba: I managed to gather all the Einherjar you defeated back in those ruins. Beat them one last time, and I can finally seal them back in their calling cards!
Chrom: Excellent. And the great news?
Old Hubba: There's no army relying on you this time! No allies to get in your way or die on you! It's just you and your party against allllll those legendary soldiers! Isn't that great?!
Chrom: ...Fantastic.

Battle

Soren: All of our soldiers are in position.
Ike: Then let's commence the attack. Give Micaiah the signal. Tell our other units to wait until their doors open.
Soren: Consider it done.
Mia: It's not like you to be so cautious, General. Wouldn't it be more satisfying to just storm at them the way we usually do?
Soren: Not if we want to assure victory. It's said there's an expert tactician among the enemy ranks. This way we can keep our movements secret until it's too late for them. They won't know which doors will open or where to expect an attack from. First we sow fear and confusion—then we move in for the killing blow.
Ike: Right. We may outnumber them, but we still have to be smart about this. Soren's strategy will work. Understand, Mia?
Mia: Yes, sir.
Sothe: Micaiah, Ike's given us the signal.
Micaiah: Then let's move on to the attack. Ready, Empress Sanaki?
Sanaki: Of course. Come, everyone! The final battle is upon us!
Chrom: I sense trouble behind those doors…
Robin: Chrom! Enemies to the south! They're heading this way!
Chrom: What? Then if there ARE enemies behind the doors here…
Robin: We'll be trapped between a rock and a hard place.
Chrom: Damn... We're surrounded? Why wouldn't they attack us en masse?
Robin: They're probably waiting for the right opportunity. Perhaps they plan to send wave after wave to whittle away our morale…
Chrom: And our strength in the process. This will be a tough fight.
Robin: True. But look at it another way... They're committing a major tactical error by funneling their forces. As long as we stay calm and focused, we can pick them off one unit at a time.
Chrom: Good point. And we might be able to get the drop on them by opening the doors first.
Robin: Now you're thinking.

(turn 1 enemy phase)

Lyn: Why does this fight feel so...empty? Our cause is just: defend this land against the invaders...

(upon the north east door opening)

Cecilia: King Zephiel, the doors! That's our signal.
Zephiel: Right. Commence the attack!

(upon the center west door opening)

Florina: Um, the doors opened... I think it's time.
Nino: Okay, everyone, follow me!

(upon the south east door opening)

Seth: The doors have opened, Princess Eirika.
Eirika: So I see. Time to make this battle a little more interesting!

(upon the north west door opening)

Lilina: Roy, the doors have opened. That's our cue.
Roy: All right. Let's go!

(upon the north east door opening)

Hector: Finally, the doors opened. It's about time!
Eliwood: Indeed. Let's join the battle!

(upon the north east door opening)

Lute: There's the doors. The time has come.
Ephraim: Good. I'm tired of standing watch from the sidelines!

Post-Battle

Robin: Finally... That's the last of them.
Chrom: Gods, I thought it would never end. I was almost ready to give up…
Robin: Me too. It was a pitched battle... We're lucky to have even survived.
Chrom: Perhaps now this realm can finally enjoy a little peace and quiet... Let's go home, Robin.
Robin: Wait, Chrom. I found this where their main force had assembled.
Chrom: An Einherjar card? "Lyn, Noblewoman of Sacae"... This must be Lyndis from the Elibean legends. We could use someone like her on our side!

Lyn Recruitment Conversation

Lyn: So that's it. I lost. It feels so unfair... Are you the enemy's tactician? ...Wait, what?! It can't be... Are you... No, that's impossible... I'm sorry. It's just...you remind me of someone very dear to me. A tactician, like you, who came to my aid time and again. This might seem like a silly question, but... Have you ever awoken in a strange place, uncertain of how you got there?

(Question: Have you ever awoken in a strange place?)

(if answering Yes)
Lyn: I knew it! It happened three times to the <man/woman> I knew. This can't be pure coincidence. ...Unless, of course, all tacticians are known to collapse by the wayside.

(if answering No)
Lyn: Really? That surprises me. I thought I was on to something... The tactician I knew often tended to pass out and wake up elsewhere. That's how <he/she> and I met. It was strange, to say the least...

(after the previous answer)
Lyn: I am Lyn, of the Lorca tribe. Would you tell me more about yourself? Where were you born? Have you been to my world? ...What? You can't remember? Now I'm even more certain that you're the <man/woman> I know. Look at me carefully, and really try to think back. We met on the Sacae plains. We fought with Eliwood and the others... Does none of this sound familiar?

(Question: Does Lyn's story sound familiar?)

(if answering Yes)
Lyn: Really? Then you remember! It's really you! Oh...I'm so happy! I thought... I thought we'd never met again. ...I'm sorry. I don't mean to cry. I'm just...overwhelmed. Give me a moment... ...Thank you. I feel better. Listen. Come back to Sacae with me! Can you just picture the others' face's? ...What? Unfinished business? All right. Then please, let me join my strength to yours. I'll cut down any foe who dares stand in your path!

(if answering No)
Lyn: That's...too bad. Maybe you're not the person I thought. But still...you know what? I want to help. Take me with you. Even if you claim you aren't the <man/woman> I knew, I want to judge for myself. I'm good with a blade. Keep me by your side, and none shall harm you.

(should the player opt to recruit Lyn)

Lyn: You'd let me travel with you?
