(It is wild to me that FE is pushing for characters to punch the enemy now. I don't mind it, but I also want to know where it came from. Either way, time to introduce, in my opinion, one of the best FE games in a long time! I mean a long time.... Ike, I am hoping they remake your game. Enjoy!)

         With news of the heroes' debut, the pair of siblings decided to speak with the rings the next day. Once Vander left to take Clanne and Framme away to their schools and work, both sat in the living room and staring at the pair of rings. Lueur was poking hers as Alear observed his from all sides carefully.

"So, who talks first? We or you?" Lueur asked as she stared hard at her ring.

"Well, I believe we should start with introductions" her ring spoke in a stern voice, "This reminds me of introductions I would receive before I taught the classes"

In a flash of blue light from the ring, Lueur jumped and screamed when a tiny figured appeared before her and stood on the table.

He looked over himself and sighed at the form, "Why must I be so small? Oh, my hair is no longer that lighter shade of green. That is surprising. I wonder if this is the result of me forming a bond with the ring. Please do not worry, Lueur. I mean you no harm. My name is Byleth Einser. I was known as the Ashen Demon, but I became a teacher at the Officers Academy in Garreg Mach Monastery. Now, I am in the ring and known as the Emblem of the Academy"

She stared at him before poking him only to scream again when her finger went right through the tiny man! Byleth sighed at her reaction while Alear's eyes were wide as his glasses nearly fell from his face.

"You're real?!" he exclaimed in excitement before adjusting his glasses to stare at the Emblem of the Academy.

The Emblem of the Academy wore a black coat and armor with a red mark sewed on it. He has a pair of black gauntlets and matching black belt around his waist while holding a golden charm in the center of it. He has a dagger attached to it. There are black boots and pants on him. His hair is dark navy with matching eyes colors.

"Of course, I am" he replied with a nod before holding a hand to his face, "Though, there have been accounts of me being female along with Shez. It appears that she believes that I am male. It is fine with me. Marth has a similar ally as well with this situation. Am I correct?"

He turned to the other ring, expecting the Hero King to appear from the ring. In a flash of red and silver lights, the Hero King appeared before them! He carefully took a step forward before placing a hand over his chest and bowing.

"Greetings to meet you" he spoke in a friendly, elegant voice, "My name is Marth. I am the Emblem of Beginnings. I saved my homeland and united the people to bring peace. I am glad to be at your side, Alear. Byleth is correct. I have a friend named Kris. Though, I have known Kris as male, I do know of accounts of Kris as female too"

The Hero King carried himself in a high manner, but he has a friendly disposition about himself. His blue hair shined brightly with a golden crown holding a blue gemstone secured to it. His blue eyes shined in a friendly light. Blue armor adorned his chest and shoulders with blue tunic and golden outlines with it. He wore brown gloves and dark, blue boots. A flowing cap with blue on the outside and red on the inside was pinned by a red pin.

"YOU'RE REAL?!' the siblings shouted in unison as they stared at the king.

"How is his appearance causing more of a reaction than mine?" Byleth spoke, a little miffed at this.

Marth only laughed before waving his hand in reassurance to his ally to speak calmly, "Yes, I am real. Though, it has been some time since we were all summoned to fight again. I wonder what this could mean"

The siblings stopped freaking out and stared at the emblems before them with curious and serious intent. Both emblems were grateful that the twins were ready to listen to their stories and figure out what led them to being summoned again as well as how their rings ended up in their possessions.

"I awakened when I sensed those dark creatures along with a malicious castor behind it" Byleth spoke first, "That dark castor reminded me of the enemies I fought before. They were called Those Who Slither in the Dark who caused chaos and destruction where I was from. Though, not all of them were bad since I knew of one who wasn't. Why did you awaken, Marth?"

"I sensed the dark powers being used as well, Byleth" Marth replied seriously while holding a hand to his face, "This reminded me of Medeus and his powers as well as how he used it on my sister and our allies. I do wonder how that spell activated, but regardless, we did sense the same darkness and wanted to act before any innocent people were caught in the danger. Alear, Lueur, thank you for hearing our call and wanting to save them"

Both bowed to the siblings who were embarrassed with Alear's face flushing and tilting his glasses downward while Lueur waved her hands in front of herself in a frantic manner. Byleth was perplexed by their behaviors while Marth only hummed at their responses.

"It is nice to see the both of you are humble" Marth stated in a reassuring manner, "But regardless of why and how we needed up in your care, I am grateful that we did. You didn't hesitate to help others and fight enemies who could've brought more destruction to your world"

"I agree with Marth" Byleth agreed with a small grin, "We are grateful our powers were able to awaken and were held by you. Though, I do not know where the other Emblem Rings and Bracelets are. Those could be anywhere in this world"

"The Emblem Rings and Bracelets? What are those?" Lueur asked curiously.

"That is the accessory we are stored in that the user can hold. This allows the user to use our powers and fight against the enemies from this world" Byleth answered, "There is something bothering me. We should be awakened through the power of the Divine Dragon or the Fell Dragon. I am unsure about your blood. Are you descendants of either bloodline?"

At this question, the siblings blinked and shared an expression before staring at them.

"Ah, perhaps I was wrong" Byleth commented in dismay before Marth chiming in, "Perhaps if we find the Emblem of the Dragon Princess or even the Emblem of Fates. Even the Emblem of Bonds could help us with this"

The siblings stared at each other before Alear interrupted, "I understand why you're speculating, but what should we do next? It sounds like something is bigger is happening"

"That is true, but we are not sure of what is entirely happening. It wouldn't be wise of us to leave the world in such a state" Marth agreed with a nod of his head, "But would you be fine with that? We do not know how long this fight may last. You will have to make sacrifices and be put in perilous dangers. Are you ready for this?"

He held a serious, grave expression as if reflecting on the pain of the past. Byleth turned away while closing his eyes in reflection. The siblings held each other's hands and nodded.

"We will do it" Lueur answered with a grin, "We can do everything we can to help you!"

"Although, we do not have a lot of friends, we do have people we cherish and do not want anything to happen to them" Alear added as he nodded his head, "So, we will do everything we can to help you"

Marth and Byleth held relieved expressions as they thanked the siblings.

"Then, the next step we should take is to find the other emblems. We shouldn't let the rest of the emblems fall into the hands of their enemies" Marth stated with Byleth agreeing, "And we should also be prepared to fight the Corrupted and true enemy behind this"

The siblings understood as Byleth added, "And to discover the location of the Corrupted as well. The source of their powers should be destroyed before it leaks out to harm anyone innocent"

They agreed before Marth held a reassuring grin to them.

"For now, why not take a moment to introduce ourselves and get to know each other?" Marth offered in a friendly manner.

"Sure thing!" Lueur exclaimed as she pushed her brother to the ground, but the push felt more like a punch.

He let out a groan as Marth was surprised by her strength while Byleth was genuinely impressed with her pure strength. He couldn't wait to see how powerful she could get with his abilities as well. Alear only grinned before sitting up and staring at them, waiting to ask a question.

As the siblings continued speaking with the emblems, Sombron had gathered his followers and members to his office to speak about their plans since they sightings of the two heroes. Sombron stared at the bracelet around his wrist with a dark expression before turning his attention two the pair of dark doors that are the entrance to his office.

There was a knock as Sombron said darkly, "Come in"

A pair of twin sisters entered the room, one with a pleasant expression while the other held a serious one. They are Zephia and Zelestia. They have long, silver hair and purple eyes that shined with power.

Zephia is standing to the left of his twin sister and is wearing a fancy, black dress without sleeves that exposed her chest a bit. She wore black leggings and a pair of expensive, black high heels. A golden necklace hanged around her neck with bright pink feathery earrings hanged from her ears. There were many black and dark purple bracelets hanging from her wrists as she was holding a laptop in her arms.

As for Zelesita, she wore a white lab coat with her badge hanging over her right chest while a golden pin was on her left one. She adorned a white button shirt with a long black skirt that hang below her knees as well as a pair of black, rubber gloves on her hands. Her hair was tied and held by a yellow ribbon with pearls sewed in. She was holding a clipboard and pen.

Both took a bow before him as he waved his hand to let them rise.

"How are the other members of the Fallen Order?" he simply asked as he didn't bother to face them and only stare at the bracelet.

"Well!" Zelesita happily reported, "Your twins are excelling at their students and your stepdaughter is being cared for by Mauvier and attending Elyos academy with Marni's dear little sister Madeline"

"Sigh, my dear sister, why do you waste our boss's time with such petty words and pointless events he doesn't need to know about?" Zephia expressed in a disappointed manner and wave of her hand and head.

"Oh! My apologizes! I thought our boss would want to know the welfare of his children is all! I am deeply sorry" Zelestia apologized as she took a bow.

Sombron sent them a glare as Zephia recovered and answered, "Using your bracelet's powers along with the remains of the Corrupted, we will be able to replicate it with ease. In fact, we have a few stored in the lab and being cared for by our underlings. We are testing the experiments, but it will not be long before we perfected it"

This finally made Sombron take an interest at the sisters before fully turning to them.

"And will it be able to find the remaining emblems soon?" he asked and added, "As well as kill those who dare stand in our way?"

"Very soon, and soon, you'll have the power to summon the Fell Dragon into this world to control it in any image you desire! Isn't that wonderful?" Zephia asked with a twisted smile, hoping for any sort of reaction he would give her.

Sombron finally rose from his leather seat and silenced her from speaking with a cold, serious expression. Zephia bite her tongue and scowled at her sister who held a sadden expression.

"And where are the others?" he asked in a deathly dark voice.

"Waiting for you in the basement" Zephia answered as Zelestia only bowed her head.

Without wasting anymore time, Sombron used the bracelet's power to teleport themselves to the basement of his building. His staff fled from the forming darkness while three others were standing or sitting without bothering to move.

"Ah, it looks the fun has finally arrived" a rough and sadistic voice spoke as he rose from a laying position on a black leather couch.

"Yeah, well, he better give us something to do now" a snippy voice of a lady echoed as she stood straight up instead of leaning against a wall, "It is so boring to do nothing all day if you ask me!"

The final figure stepped between them with his fancy, black heeled shoes clicking against the black, marble floors.

"Now, now everyone" he spoke in a soothing tone laced with dark intentions, "Our esteemed leader finally has the power to change our lives for the better along with the world! Isn't that truly wonderful?"

They shared a dark laugh before each took a bow before their leader Sombron. He stepped out of the ring of darkness as Zelestia was a little dizzy and receiving no help from Zephia.

"How are things progressing with my campaign against Lady Lumera, Hyacinth?" he asked without breaking his momentum from his plans.

Hyacinth is an older gentleman and a devoted ally to Sombron. He currently works for Brodia Banks as one of the high classified bankers who has many powerful, wealthy clients. He is a tall man with gray, sharp eyes. He is wearing a long, black suit with a matching black dress shirt with a long, red tie hanging around his neck. There was a red handkerchief on his right pocket with a black belt wrapped around his waist. There was a silver pin below the right pocket with his hands holding a device.

"Of course, sir" he said as he held his tablet to display it before his boss, "So far, the voters are leaning towards Lady Lumera, so I suggest we take another approach"

"Such as?" he asked simply as he took the tablet to see the results.

The young girl only groaned as Zephia glared at the girl.

"Marni! Hold your tongue in his presence and only speak when he wishes to speak to you" Zephia scolded with dark glare.

She is the youngest member of his team. She has blond hair adorned with a faded pink ribbon with pale, blue eyes. This outfit is a plain pink shirt with a pair of torn up jeans. An old, faded pink bag is hanging from her left shoulder. There are a pair of brown, toughed up shoes.

"What? There's an obvious solution to this situation, but you are always making more complicated than it needs to be" she snapped, "He's making this more complicated than it needs to be! He needs to show up Lady Lumera, but not like this!"

Hyacinth was ready to snap at the young lady, but their other member only laughed in a sadistic tone.

"Are you going to shut out the one good idea you've finally got, old man?" he asked with a crazed expression, "Because she's right if my pathetic cousin has anything to add to this. Oh, right, he doesn't!"

Zephia turned her attention to him with her twin sister even staring at him.

"What do you mean, Griss? Speak your mind" Zephia asked with a firm expression, trusting that his word was worth something to their leader.

Griss has a black, torn up shirt and ripped black jeans with roughed up sneakers. He had a chain wrapped around his pans to act like a belt. There was a silver piercing below his chin and has dark, purple tattoo on his face, matching his crazed, pair of purple eyes. He has a silver chain necklace hanging from his neck and has wild, dark green hair. There was a leather jacket wrapped around his waist as he ran a hand through his unruly hair.

"Just as the little lady speak" Griss said with a wave of his hand and snark, "She's got a brighter idea than the old clout ever came up"

Hyacinth let out a hurt gasp before glaring at the young man who held himself high.

"Finally!" Marni spoke in a relieved manner before holding her phone out to display results from the historic group known as the Black Fang, "A group of mercenaries who would help anyone regardless of their status and wealth. We need to be like them! A group who wants to help others while achieving our goal. Simple as that if you ask me!"

Hyacinth looked down upon the teenager as Sombron thought about her idea. He would be able to hide under the cover of a forged identity.

"Very well" Sombron agreed with a simple nod, "We will adopt the ways of the Black Fang. Inform Mauvier of this course of action along with my subjects. I recall the Black Fang had Four Fangs as well. I want Griss, Zephia, Marni, and Mauvier to each take a role under the alias of the Four Hounds. You will either report to me or Hyacinth"

Marni grinned as Griss let out an estranged laugh. Zephia held herself high as Zelestia held a concerned expression herself. Hyacinth wasn't pleased about this plan, but he was relieved that he would be higher than the Four Hounds.

"Yes, well, I will ensure that Mauvier is aware of this" Hyacinth answered with a bow, "And then, we will work to create an image to rival Lady Lumera. I believe the best first step is to shower the local college my daughter is attending with a generous donation and then deliver goods to the orphanages"

Sombron only nodded his head, but they knew there was something else on his mind. He gazed at the bracelet and also recalled the stories of the past based on the heroes and villains of old. If he was correct, he should be able to imbue his followers with strong powers from the Fell Dragon.

"Is there something else you would like for us to do, Mister Sombron?" Zephia asked with concern.

"I have obtained the powers of the Fell Dragon and wish to bring him into our world to change it" he spoke seriously, "I will need to find the rings and bracelets while avoiding the detection from these idiotic people as well. Therefore, I have come to a conclusion and would not like to be disappointed with this decision I will make"

Everyone turned to him as he clutched his hand to have immense dark energy gathering to it! Zelestia stared at the tablets and monitors around herself to see the readings were dangerous! She took cover as Sombron raised his fist before delivering a powerful strike to the marble floor! The followers held their hands to protect themselves as they shouted, grunted, or screamed from the powerful darkness flowing into their respective accessory. They could barely handle it and soon collapsed from it!

"Zephia!" Zelestia shouted in a worried manner as she rushed to help her twin sister.

"She and the others will recover in due time" Sombron answered as he noticed they were not going to wake up any time soon, "And since they are unavailable, we will use your Corrupted to draw the heroes out and try to reclaim those rings. Do I make myself clear?"

Zelestia knew she couldn't argue with him, so she approached one of the test tubes holding a Corrupted. She typed in her password and slammed her fist on the red button to release the creature of darkness and send off an alarm to warn the others of the Corrupted was released.

The Corrupted has a dark helmet with a single, red eye glowing. The Corrupted has torn up clothing as armor and deathly pale skin. This Corrupted was wielding a lance. With a roar and swing of a lance, the Corrupted destroyed a wall before rampaging into the city!

Zelestia observed the damages with a concerned expression with Sombron departing in a flash of black light. Zelestia could hear the employees whisper and wonder what they should do next.

She quickly took control and reassured everyone with a smile, "Do not worry! Everything will be fine! I promise! Please help me take care of the others before carrying out your assignments please. Once your assignments are finished, you are free to carry on with your day"

The employees simply nodded their heads and helped her with taking care of her injured twin sister and their leaders to rest. Zelestia let out a breath she was holding before turning her attention to the destroyed wall. She prayed to the Divine Dragon that no one would be hurt.

"Do you have any other weapons?!" Lueur asked excitedly with her bright blue eyes shining eagerly.

Byleth nodded his head while placing a hand to his chin to recall the weapons he could allow her to summon, but there was an alarm on their phones.

"What is that?" Marth asked curiously as Alear took his phone to see the news.

"Another one of those monsters, the Corrupted, is attacking the city" Alear answered seriously.

The siblings turned to the Emblems who were prepared to charge into the fight. The each took their rings and shared a nod before raising their hands with the rings bursting with lights and energy.

"When you need our powers all you must shout is this phrase with our names at the ends" both emblems spoke to the sibling, "Emblem Engage!"

"Emblem Engage Marth/Byleth!" the siblings shouted with all their might before transforming and departing from their home.

The Corrupted swung the lance to strike the side of an office building with the people screaming while others were taking photos and videos of it. The Corrupted growled at them before grabbing the lance to then jumping to strike the street! Some of the people were screaming and fleeing as others tried to take shelter in nearby stores and buildings. The Corrupted roar as a girl wearing a pink shirt and gray shorts was screaming and trying to run but tripped!

"Ow, ow, ow!" she whimpered as she reached for her scrapped knee and let out a small scream when the Corrupted was towering over her with the lance in the air!

She screamed and tried to protect herself by covering her face with her arms, but the Princess wrapped the Sword of the Creator around a black lamp post to swung herself forward, grab the girl's waist, and carry her to safety! The girl stopped screaming before staring at the Princess with wide eyes of admiration. The Princess stared at her and internally held in her reaction.

"Framme!" Lueur shouted internally as Byleth gazed at the young girl.

"Who?" he inquired as Lueur replied quickly, "She's one of Vander's nieces! If she's here, then her twin brother must also be present!"

She landed in the courtyard and gently placed Framme on her feet to then quickly examining her for any injury. Framme whimpered at her injured knee, but it wasn't anything too major. The plaid, brown beret with a pink ribbon wrapped around it. Her pink jacket was tied around her waist. She donned a plaid dress shirt and shorts with a white shirt underneath. There were a pair of black, long socks and brown boots. Her white hair was tied in a braid with a pink streak as her brown eyes only shined in admiration at the Princess.

"W-wow" she said in a whisper before exclaiming, "You're so cool! You're amazing! You're the Divine Dragon, aren't you?!"

Princess took a few steps from her while trying to hold a calm expression.

"Odd. I don't have a Divine Dragon where I am from" Byleth spoke in a surprised tone, "Marth does, but this is strange that she made this connection"

"Byleth, we can speculate later! Please help me with protecting her!" Lueur pleaded with the Emblem of the Academy.

"Ah, yes, of course. Well, the Corrupted followed you, so it would be ideal to change the Sword of the Creator into the Vajra-Mushti. On my mark, deliver a punch right at the lance!" Byleth commanded as Princess stood up and held the Sword of the Creator in front.

The sword gave off a blue glow before bursting into a golden light to have it reform over the Princess's brown gloves. She took a rough stance and drew her right fist back as the light grew stronger. The Corrupted raised his lance above his head as Framme stared at her.

"NOW!" Byleth shouted as Princess let out a yell to unleash all the power she stored up.

She delivered a powerful strike to shatter the lance into pieces before herself! Framme cheered as Princess smirked. She held her fists up and waited as Prince helped a few others flee from the scene. He looked over his shoulder to see his sister protecting Framme against the Corrupted!

"What is Framme doing here?!" Alear panicked as he turned to see a dark green boy running towards the fight, "Clanne do not do this to me!"

Using his new speed, Prince ran as fast as he could with his hand on the golden handle of the silver sword. He ran right passed Clanne and drew the sword to swung the blade upward to deliver a blue strike against the Corrupted's back! With a strangled cry, Princess grabbed Framme and ran the other way to reunite the twins together.

"Clanne!" Framme shouted in relief as she embraced her twin brother who happily held her close.

"Framme! I was so worried! Are you ok?!" Clanne asked worriedly as she only smiled before excitedly gesturing to the Princess, "Yes! The Divine Dragon saved me!"

Clanne wore a dark, green jacket with white ribbons tied around the chest. He has the same plaid shirt as his sister's and has dark shorts. He has a pair of gray boots and long black socks. He has the same hair and eye colors as his twin sister. He even has a braid like his sister's except with a jade color.

He stared at the Prince and Princess before shouting and pointing, "But there are two of them! I thought only fell dragons had twins! This is amazing!"

"That is true, but Marth, why do they believe my sister and I to be Divine Dragons? As far as I recall, you only received the powers of the Divine Dragon, but Byleth didn't have any present" Prince asked of Marth who also puzzled by this.

"I am also unsure by this as well" Marth spoke before sensing the Corrupted standing up, "Keep your guard up! The Corrupted isn't defeated!"

Prince and Princess turned around, drawing a sword while transforming another into the blade. Dazzling in blue and red lights, they charged forward and swung their blades to cut the Corrupted's chest. Another painful cry echoed from the creature before it dissolved into darkness. They returned their blades to their scabbards as they noticed the people exiting the buildings and starring at them.

"It appears they are turning to you as protectors" Byleth reasoned.

"Well, we do plan to protect this town from the Corrupted and their enemies" Marth complied, "Aren't we?"

The Prince and Princess shared a look before drawing their swords to clash against each other.

"We are the Emblem Heroes!" Princess declared, "And we will do everything in our power to ensure the Corrupted do not bring you harm!"

"And as your protectors, we vow to bring an end to our enemies!" Prince stated, "We will restore peace to our home and not be left alone in the darkness!"

With their vow stated, both departed from the scene in a flash of red and blue with the people cheering, celebrating their new guardians. Zelestia placed a hand on her chest in relief that no one was hurt as she watched from her lab. In a way, she hoped the Emblem Heroes would keep their vow, but she would do everything she could to help her twin sister. With that, she returned to her work as Sombron observed the duo heroes with an interested expression from his tablet.

"I do wonder if they will keep that vow of theirs" Sombron stated before crushing the device in his hand, "Or crumble into piece by the might of their new enemy. I do hope they will be easy prey for us!"

He had his hands behind his back before carrying on with his task of defeating Lady Lumera in the upcoming elections.

In the next episode...

(Lueur's POV)

It was thanks to our combined efforts that we were able to protect our home, fight against those in the darkness, and begin our search for the missing emblems! Of course, we still have to go back to classes. Speaking of class, I made a new friend! His name is Alfred, and he's always there. I just hope he won't be there when a Corrupted attacks...
