Here we go, I hope people like it. Sorry for it almost be the same as the actual chapter of the game. This is another chapter that suffered the no t or y keyboard treatment. I did go back and edited the best I could be sure, I am sure I missed a few so please if I did point them out but be nice about it.

The group of seven walked nervelessly as Chrom lead them towards the throne room. After all, they were about to meet the exalt who was royality.

"Chrom! Lissa! Welcome home. Oh, and good day, Frederick. How fared you all?" asked Emmern when the group arrived.

"Well—we shouldn't have any bandit problems for a while." was Chrom's answer.

"Wonderful. And our people?"

"Safe as they can be, Emm. But we still need to watch the borders. The brigands crossed over from Plegia."

"Forgive me, milord. My pegasus knights should have intercepted them." said the woman near Emmeryn

"No, Phila. Your duty was here, with the exalt."

"And besides, we had plenty of help!" said Lissa happily

"Ah, you speak of your new companions here?"

"This is Robin. With her are Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville and Ginny Ron's little sister. They fought bravely with us against the brigands. I've decided to make them Shepherds"

The small group was surprised to hear Chrom was willing to make them a part of the shepherds already. After all they just met Chrom and the others.

"It sounds as though Ylisse owes all of you a debt of gratitude"

"Not at all, milady!"

"Forgive me, Your Grace, but I must speak. Robin claims to have lost her memory, but it is only that: a claim. We cannot rule out the possibility that she is a brigand herself or even a Plegian spy. We also can't rule that possibly with the other six as well"

"Frederick!"

"Yet you allowed them into the castle, Chrom. Do they have your trust?"

"I made a special wiz-mages vow from where we're from to prove we're not a threat to them, lairs usually die making the vow." said Ron

"What!? Frederick what on earth were you thinking?"

"I did what I thought I had to" Replied Frederick

"Yes but do remember that since you are Chroms guard, you reflect both him and in a way, the exalted. If you keep think everyone is a spy or a threat no one is going to trust us. In fact your paranoia could start a war" snapped Phila

"She is right Frederick, while your concerns are nice, please tune them down"

"Yes Milady said Frederick respectful despite being scorned.

"Yes. They risked their lives for our people. That''s good enough for me"

"Well then, everyone.. It seems you've earned Chrom's faith, and as such you have mine as well."

"Milady." said everyone

"Your Grace. Phila, I assume you've heard about the deathly creatures we encountered, yes?

"Yes, milord. They've been sighted all across Ylisse."

"That's not good" said Neville

"Indeed it is not, I take it you had an encounter with one" said Phila looking at Neville

"More like a whole group" said Neville"Their leader was a big broke, took a while to bring him down...Well Chrom and Hermione did the work."

"I don't remeber seeing you fighting" remarked Frederick in a condescending tone causing the wizards to glare at him, while the others frown.

"I was busy leaving my lunch in some bushes after Sully brought me along into battle, but I still saw the fight" said Neville

"Chrom, we are about to hold council. I was hoping you could join us." said Em causing any more arguments to be put on hold

"Of course."

"I think that's our cue. C'mon, there's a place I want to show you."

"Ok" said Harry and no sooner then he said, Lissa grabbed his arm and started to dragged him away. However he didn't put up much resistance, Hermione noted then again Lissa was a princess so he was most likely was going along out of respect.

"Here we are! The Shepherds' garrison. Go on, make yourself at home". said Lissa after dragging Harry for a while.

"It's huge" said Neville

"The great hall is bigger" replied Ron

"I know but still for muggles it's impressive" said Neville. Ron just nodded.

None of them noticed Luna walking and up to a suit of armor. He expected her to ignore him and was surprised when she spoke. She was talking to him of all people, she had noticed him.

"Hello."

"you can see me?" said Armor

"Of course, the nurgles are infesting your suit. You should have someone look into getting rid of them"

"Oh…Okay" said Kellem before Luna walked off leaving him confused 'She's a weird one but she sees me which is an improvement over the other Shepherds.'

"Lissa, my treasure! Are you all right? I've been on pins and needles!" shouted a blonde running over to Lissa.

"Oh, hey, Maribelle!"

"Oh, hey" yourself! I've sprouted 14 gray hairs fretting over you!"

"Drama queen" Muttered Ron

"Aw, you worry too much. I can handle a battle or two! … Although I could do without the bugs and the bear barbecue…"

"Bear barbecue?! How dare they treat you as such a commoner"

"Hey, squirt! Where's Chrom? I bet he had a rough time out there without ol' Teach and his trusty axe!"

"Oh, so you're "Teach" now, Vaike, is that it? Hee hee! And here I thought people were just born lacking wits. It can be taught?"

"Ha! Never doubt the Vaike! ...Wait, was that an insult?"

"Me insult you, I would never dream of I" said Lissa causing most of the group to laugh while Maribelle looked at her with disappointment.

"Beg pardon, but when might we see the captain?"

"Poor Sumia. She's simply been beside herself with concern... "

"Aw, Sumia, that's so sweet of you to worry about Chrom."

"Worry? Well, I... He's our captain and our prince—of course I'd worry!"

"So, who's the strangers?" asked Vaike

"No one's stranger than you, Vaike... But allow me to introduce Robin! She just joined the Shepherds. Chrom's made her our new tactician. You should see all the tricks she's got up her sleeve! Not to mention what these six can do as well" said Lissa

"Oh yeah? Can any of them do this? *buuuuuurp*"

"Ron" said everyone in the small of Hogwarts students except said Wizard.

"I think Ron has a new friend" joked Neville

"OI" said Ron

"I'm sure I have much to learn in the belching arts, "Teach." In any case, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintances."

"Ugh, Vaike! That was abhorrent! Must you baseborn oafs pollute even the air with your buffoonery? And you, Robin! Don't encourage him! I'd hoped you were cut from finer cloth. Hmph!" Scowled Maribelle while ignoring all the wizards and witches.

"Don't take it to heart. Maribelle warms to people slowly."

"Or burns too quickly! Hee hee! But yeah, just give her time."

"We've dealt with people like her before" sighed Hermione

"Ah! Captain! You've returned! I was— I mean, we were so" started Sumia only to trip on her boots sending her to the floor.

"Sumia! Are you all right? ...Those boots of yours again?"

"No! I mean, yes! I mean... *sigh*" said Sumia before she was helped up by Harry

"Thank you" said Sumia with a small blush on her cheeks.

"No problem" said Harry

"All right, listen, everyone: in the morning, we'll be marching to Regna Ferox." said Chrom getting everyone's attention.

"Regna Ferox?" asked Hermione

"A unified kingdom to Ylisse's north. Inhabited by barbarians, or so it's said."

"Warriors are what they are, and we'll need their strength to quell this new menace. Typically, the exalt would request such aid in person. But given recent events... Well, the people might worry should my sister suddenly leave the capital. So the task has been passed to , this mission is strictly voluntary. So if, for any—"

"I volunteer!" Shouted Lissa.

"We in as well" said Hermione surprising the others, usually it was Harry voicing his that he would help people.

"Me too! You'll be needin' ol' Teach along for such a delicate mission!"

"I'll go as well." said a man in armor causing all of them bu Luna to jump "What? I've been here the whole time!"

"How did we not notice him" said Ron to Neville

"No idea" said Neville

"I... I, um…"

"Yes, Sumia?"

"I'm not sure I'm quite ready for a proper mission just yet. I'd probably just get in the way."

"Well, you could stay behind the main group, and if a battle is met, just watch and learn? Your choice, of course. But some lessons can only be learned on the battlefield."

"W-well, if you think it wise, Captain."

"Just stay by me and you'll be fine."

"Oh, yes! I mean— Yes, sir, I'll do that!"

The small group spent some time getting to know more of the Shepherds. Well most of them, Maribelle hadn't been seen since she stormed off earlier. Lissa told them not to worry about her as she was sure that she would there to see them off. The wizards and witches found the Shepherds to be interesting to say the least. Vaike was the most amusing to watch interact with Ron which started out as an eating contest that turned into a burping contest that Vakie easily won. However soon sleep would soon call them since they had long march ahead of them.

"Is everyone ready? We've a long march ahead."asked Chrom, the next morning as everyone had gather to leave for Regna Ferox.

"W-wait for me!" Everyone turned to see a knight in green armor riding a horse towards them.

"Stahl?"

"Why am I the last to hear about this expedition to Ferox?"

"Huh? Vaike was supposed to... Vaike! Did you forget to tell Stahl about our mission?"

"The Vaike never forgets! ...I just don't always remember, is all…" said Vaike rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

"that is forgetting" scolded Hermione

"Ugh... I swear, you'd forget your own name if you weren't constantly saying it yourself! Speaking of which, are you SURE you remembered your axe this time?" said Lissa face palming next to Hermione causing the two to share a look before nodding to each other.

"Hey! That was one time! ...Okay, twice, but training sessions don't count. Anyway, I got it right here. Teach is loaded and ready for action! Glad to have you along, Stahl, ol' buddy."

"That makes one of us. I was in such a hurry, I had to miss breakfast! There were muffins, and cakes, and... Well, I can tell you all about it while we march..".

"Your name is Stahl, right?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Robin. This is Stahl, one of our finest."

"Hello, Robin. Miriel told me we had a few new Shepherds. Er, Miriel's one of our mages. She should catch up soon."

"So we can see how their magic is different then ours" said Hermione to Harry who nodded.

Soon they were greeted by the same creatures that had ambushed them in the forest few nights ago. There were more than before but only a few so it shouldn't be a problem for them, they hoped.

"Gods, have the Risen spread this far?"

"Risen"? asked Harry at the same time as Robin, both then looking at each other before blinking once then shrugging.
"We needed a name for this new threat, so the council gave them one." said Frederick

"Everyone, remember what we're up against!"

"Team up, don't fight them one on one" said Hermione

"I thought Robin was the tactician" remarked Frederick

"Frederick, can it" said Lissa with a look telling Frederick that it was an order from a princess, not a suggestion from a comrade.

"Hermione is just as brillirant as Robin so she can be a secondary tactician." said Chrom causing Hermione to blush at the praise.

"Mya ha! They'll remember ME once I drive my axe into their... Wait... My axe. Where's my axe?! I had it a second ago!"

"Vaike, this is no time for jokes…"

"I'm serious! It's gone, but I JUST had it!"

"Accio axe" Shouted Hermione and soon Vaike's axe came into view with a person holding onto it for dear life before finally letting it go. The axe flew into Hermione's hand before handing it over to Vaike.

"Thanks kid"

"Keep to the rear, then! The battle is nigh!" shouted Chrom preventing any arguments. Another deadly battle was about to start.

Figured the start of a battle was a good place stop. I am not sorry for making Frederick into a bigger asshole than he was in the game. The way he is in the first half of the game made me hate him the first time I played the game. He is still a good unit though. So I thought having him get scolded was a good idea. People haing been asking about pairings, I'll give two hints, non-canon pairs (whenever I do crossovers, I usually do crossover ships) and few of the ships have already met.
