FE12 Story Script Rewrite (Prologue 2: Young Squires.)

Prologue 2: Young Squires.



Opening


In the past, there was a war known as the War of Shadows.

It began when the fearsome Shadow Dragon, Medeus, Emperor of Dolhr launched a sudden invasion.

The Holy Kingdom of Archanea, protector of all the lands, clashed with Medeus's forces.

But against such superior might, even their army was overwhelmed and trembled in defeat.

Princess Nyna of Archanea had no choice but to flee from her beloved homeland.

To rescue Archanea, the Kingdom of Altea, its allied nation, sallied forth.

However, it too was defeated by Medeus. With its king lost to war, Altea fell to ruins...

From his exiled shores Marth, young prince of Altea, swore he would retake his homeland.

Marth never forgot his oath. Years later, he rallied an army at Talys to defeat Dolhr.

Starting with Caeda, Talys's princess, Marth gathered together many allies.

Duke Hardin of Aurelis, Nyna's guardian, also became one of his trusted comrades.

With Archanea's treasured "Fire Emblem" awarded to him by Princess Nyna,

Marth led the Archanean League, as its commander.

In the following battles, the League wrestled back control of both Archanea and Altea.

Finally, after a long and fierce battle with Medeus's forces...

Marth vanquished the Shadow Dragon...

And thus, did peace return to the world.

These are the events that transpired one year ago.






Chapter Begins


Katarina:
Kris, we have been designated as members of the 7th Platoon. I'm glad we were grouped together.

Kris:
As am I. So, who are the others?

Luke:
I'm Luke! Or if you prefer, you can call me Luke, the Paladin of Dawn!

Roderick:
My name is Roderick. It is a pleasure to meet you. So, is that everyone?

Ryan:
U-um... I'm a new recruit, too. My name is Ryan. I'm an archer.

Kris:
It looks like that's all five of us... Well, what's the plan for today?

Katarina:
There was an order from Sir Jagen. Today's mission is to decide who the new commander will be.

Luke:
Commander? Gotcha! Well, I'll be commander if you guys all insist!

Roderick:
Nobody's insisting anything, Luke...

Katarina:
Excuse me. I'd like to recommend Kris.

Kris:
Katarina? Why me?

Katarina:
Kris is a really strong individual. And he didn't abandon me during the mock combat yesterday, even though I couldn't fight.

Luke:
Alright then, I challenge him! Kris, if you beat me, I'll cede the position to you.

Katarina:
Huh? H-how has it come to this?

Luke:
It's a challenge, man-to-man! Kris, you're not afraid to fight me, are you?

Katarina:
Don't be silly. Kris, won't lose easily to you.

Roderick:
So we'll decide with a battle. That'll let us see who's got the skill to be commander.

Katarina:
I'm sorry, Kris. That was selfish of me... But I think you have all it takes to be a great commander.

Kris:
It's okay. I should give this a try. And I think the best way for men to understand each other is by fighting.

Katarina: If you say so… Anyway, our opponents are Luke and Roderick. It's been decided that Ryan will be on our team.

Ryan:
Y-yes. I'll do my best.

Roderick:
So we'll decide with a battle. That'll let us see who's got the skill to be commander.

Katarina:
I'm sorry, Kris. That was selfish of me... But I think you have all it takes to be a great commander.

Kris:
It's okay. I should give this a try. Who knows, it might be a fun experience.

Katarina:
Anyway, our opponents are Luke and Roderick. It's been decided that Ryan will be on our team.

Ryan:
Y-yes. I'll do my best.


(On the battlefield)

Roderick:
Luke, how should we go about this?

Luke:
Rody, buddy, you wait at the back. I'll fight alone! It's just Kris and that kid, right? If that's all, I should be able to handle it. I'll show them my true strength.

Roderick:
You're at it again...? Fine, have it your way. But I think underestimating your opponents will get you into trouble.




Map Start



(Ryan vs. Luke)

Luke:
Kiddo, just stand back and watch! Only Kris is worthy of fighting me!



(Kris vs. Luke)

Luke:
Kris, I've heard rumors about you! Sir Jagen said that there was a recruit who stood out from the rest of us!

Kris:
Is that so?

Luke:
Yeah, that's right! And I bet you're hogging all the attention, overshadowing the rest of us! I'll beat you here to prove I'm the best! Prepare yourself!



(Luke defeated)

Luke:
Guah..! I-impossible... The future hero, Luke, defeated...




(After Luke is defeated)

Roderick:
…As I thought, Luke couldn't win alone. I guess I'll have to fight, too.



(Ryan vs. Roderick)

Roderick:
My opponent is an archer... Then I should engage him in close-quarters.



(Kris vs. Roderick)

Roderick:
Kris, I've heard the rumors about you as well. I need to see your ability firsthand, especially if you're to become the commander. I ask you this, as a fellow squire of Altea.



(Roderick defeated)

Roderick:
Urgh! I see... You are even stronger than I had imagined...






Map Clear!!


Katarina:
Thank goodness... Kris, you won. I knew you could do it.

Luke:
Alright, I'm a man of my word. I'll keep my promise. From here on, the commander will be Kris. Gah, but I don't get it! I was so confident in my skills! How did I wind up losing?!

Roderick:
Because we didn't fight together. We took turns fighting Kris one-on-one. That's why we lost to him.

Ryan:
Yeah, my brother once said the same thing...Sometimes me need to rely on our companions, we can become stronger by working together with them.

Kris:
That's right. Fighting with your comrades: That is the way of an Altean knight.

Luke:
...I see. I thought I could be the victor through my strength alone. But I guess I was wrong. Fighting together is far more important...

Katarina:
Luke... I'm so glad. You finally understand now.

Luke:
Yeah, it's all clear to me! It looks like being the leader is more trouble than it's worth! So I'll leave this bothersome job to Kris! I'm sure it'll be a joy working under him! Kris, I'll be looking forward to your help!

Katarina:
...Does he really get it?


(Luke asking Kris)

Luke:
Alright then, Kris! Now that you're the commander, how about I give you a cool title?

Kris:
A title?

Luke:
Yeah. All the legendary heroes have their own awesome title! Hm, let's see... looking at your eyes... It's got to be Kris the Ordinary!

Kris:
I don't really understand... Nor do I think it's something worth celebrating...

Luke:
Aw, don't worry about it, Kris the Ordinary!
