Chapter Five: The First Step

Inside Castle Sarjed's library, the whole army is currently on a meeting with each other to make up a battle plan. "Welcome back to our army, Chelsea. It's so good to have you back." Kagura smiled at Chelsea. "Thank you." Chelsea bowed, then turned to the others, her pinkish-red hair flung across her face, "I believe that we all haven't met each other. I'm Chelsea, and I'm a trickster. It's really nice to meet you, I hope that we'll become really good friends." Chelsea grinned, mischievously. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Chelsea. I'm Corrin and this is my twin sister, Kamui." Corrin chuckled gently, and introduced himself and his genderbent sister. "I am Ryoma, King of Hoshido, and these are my siblings." Ryoma smiled gently. "And I am Xander, King of Nohr. Over there are my half-siblings." Xander chuckled and gestured Chelsea to his siblings. "I'm Hinoka, I'm a Sky Knight and the eldest princess of Hoshido." The red-haired princess introduced herself. "My name is Camilla of Nohr. I am a Malig Knight, and if anyone gets hurt in battle, I will crush my enemies." Camilla promised and smiled. "I am Leo, I wield a Divine Weapon, the Brynhildr tome and I'm a Dark Knight." Leo chuckled. "I'm Elise! It's really nice to meet you!" Elise laughed. "My name i-is Sakura. It's a p-pleasure to meet you." Sakura stuttered. "And I'm Takumi, a Prince of Hoshido. I wield the Fujin Yumi, which makes me pretty useful in the battlefield, I'd say." Takumi chuckled.

Chelsea grinned mischievously at the Royal siblings, which seemed like a prank will be coming up from herself... "I take it that you had met them, Kagura?" Chelsea presumed. "Of course, Chelsea. I was injured and came to their kingdom, until Človeški appeared..." Kagura admitted. "Oh great, speaking of Človeški, I sensed a presence that they are heading straight towards the Sagarian Capital Plaza. And who knows that your sisters are there... Or their retainers." the mischievous magician reported. "Thank you, Chelsea. You have heard her, everyone, let's go!" Kagura raised her blades.

Arriving at the Sagarian Capital Plaza, there are no citizens, instead it is filled with monsters that have a violet aura smoke surrounding their bodies. Chelsea sensed another presence. "I don't think that I'm sensing Človeški... I sensed another monsters that are similar to them... Oh gods no..." she admitted. "What is it?" Takumi asked, until a monster that looked like a Človeška but can only blend into the background setting, came and was about to attack the archer. "Takumi, look out!" Kagura called, and pushed him so that she could get the hit, instead of him. "D'Aaaaaaaargh!" The Rainbow-Eyed warrior screamed in pain. "Are you okay?!" Kamui asked, kneeling down towards Kagura. "I-I'm fine..." Kagura gasped for breath. "What are those?!" Hinoka panicked. "They are what's known as the Orcul. They are similar to the Človeški, but they are able to have shapeshifting abilities." Chelsea replied. "So they can actually copy us and our weapon of choice... I hate to admit this, but it sounds interesting and fascinating." Leo groaned in jealousy. "Someone's about to nerd out, be careful..." Elise whispered to Chelsea. "Will you be able to stand, Kagura?" Ryoma called. "I'm fine. It's not too much damage, so I'll be alright." Kagura nodded. "Let's go, everyone!" Corrin and Kamui both commanded.

Leo faced off against a copy of himself. "Hm. I'll do what no-one else can." he smirked and launched Brynhildr's magic. However, the copy had managed to create a replica of Brynhildr and instead, hit Leo. "Aaaaaaaaaaargh!" he groaned in pain. "Leo!" Xander called to his younger step-brother, and rushed in to save him by launching a dark red aura from Siegfried's power sword, making Leo's clone fade away.

Chelsea, on the other hand, used her Dementic Windweaver magic to defeat her clone, along with Corrin's. "Thank you, Chelsea. I owe you one." Corrin smiled. "I-It's not a problem, Corrin." the pinkish-red haired girl blushed and stuttered. "Someone has a crush on my brother..." Kamui giggled, making the poor mischievous magician blush even more.

Sakura and Elise aided each other in defeating their clones. The youngest princess of Nohr released a Ragnarok magic from her tome, which directly flew towards Sakura's clone. "A-Amazing!" Sakura smiled. "Ha! I'm just too much for ya!" Elise flicked her hair and taunted at the Orcul. "L-Look out, Elise!" the loving priestess cried out. "Huh?!" the budding flower princess gasped, until Sakura released her arrow from her bow and had managed to shoot the Elise clone. "Heehee, yay! Thank you!" Elise giggled.

Suddenly, a boy who wore green garments that are suitable for a wyvern rider, along with him was a young girl, dressed in a pink archer outfit entered the scene. "Oh for the love of the Gods... First the Človeški, and now the Orcul are here in the Sagarian Plaza?!" the mercenary complained. "Doth not worry, these monsters wilt beest did perish. We wilt eliminate those folk." the archer growled. "Huh?! Satsuki? Ren? What are you guys doing here?" Kagura, only noticing them, ran up to them and asked. "Lady Kagura! We did find out about the cockatrices's attack from thy father." Satsuki, the Shakespeare-speaking archer, replied. "We didn't received notice until your father told us to go and aid you!" Ren, the green mercenary, explained. "I thank you both from the bottom of my heart. We must go forth and fight!" Kagura commanded. "Yes, milady!" the Rainbow-Eyed slayer's retainers shouted.

"You deserve WORSE!" Ryoma exclaimed as he swung his Raijinto katana at the Orcul. "How much are there left?" Kamui asked. "Good news, there aren't much!" Chelsea replied.

Kagura switched her blades to her dual guns. "I bid you farewell!" she winked mischievously as she released a fiery bullet at the shapeshifting Orcul. "... DIE ALREADY!" Takumi yelled as he released Fujin Yumi's arrow.

After taking out all the Orcul, everyone placed their weapons away. "Whoa. That was easy!" Takumi smiled, because everyone successfully have routed the enemy. "I know, it was pretty exhausting..." Kagura groaned out of her tiredness and stretching while she was at it. "Big sister... Is that you?" a shy feminine voice came. "Huh?" Corrin looked around. "I recognise that voice..." Kagura muttered. "Who is it? If you're an enemy, show yourself!" Ryoma called. A female with long ginger hair who wears a blue appropriate outfit that seemed to be a Vanquisher walked slowly towards the army. "Big sister Kagura? Is it t-truly you?" she stuttered, her reply was Kagura smiling and nodding her head. "Yes Riley, it's me." Riley tackled her sister with a hug. "Thank the gods! I thought that you... you were dead!" she buried her face into Kagura's chest, crying. "I'm glad to have found you." the blondie giggled, "But where's Casey? I'm surprised that she isn't with you..." The gingered hair girl shook her head. "N-No... Casey and I, along with our retainers, were on an escorting mission when all in a sudden, she went missing..." her eyes welled up. "So we still have no idea on where Casey is..." Chelsea mumbled. "Hold on a minute, you didn't tell us that you had sisters!" Takumi pointed out. "Oh. That's right. To tell you all the truth, and Ry, you also didn't know this but..." Kagura inhaled, "Both Casey-Mae and Riley are my half-sisters." "WHAT?!" Everyone responded. "Just like Corrin and I." Kamui added, "Our Nohrian siblings are our adoptive siblings..." "And the Hoshidan siblings are our step-siblings." Corrin finished. "I see, so the both of you and Kagura will have something in common." Chelsea explained. "I... I always thought of you as my actual sister... But if you are planning to apologize, it's okay. What makes me happy is to find the truth." Riley closed her eyes and smiled. "I'm glad, too. Riley." Kagura smiled back. "Now, let's go and find Casey!"
