## Script

Marth: Greetings and salutations! I am your host, Prince Marth of Aritia, today is the beginning of what I would like to call "Total Drama Fire Emblem!", Essentially how this works is 26 randomly selected units in the Fire Emblem Series will embark in a series of challenges and as each challenge goes by, one unit will be eliminated until one remains, the prize for being the last one standing is 1,000,000 gold, with that amount, you're pretty much set for life, I will go on further about other details as the game progresses so I don't spoil too much, with that said, I think its about time we introduce the people competing in this game.

\*A ship arrives where the first contestant is introduced.

Marth: First off, we have Laslow, more known as Inigo, a Mercenary who loves to dance like his mother Olivia, hes quite a flirt with the ladies, however despite this is extremely timid, but his swordsmanship is quite impressive, and hes a capable fighter worthy of being Xanders retainer.

Laslow: The pleasure is all mine, Prince Marth. I hope that things go relatively smooth throughout this game, and that I manage to win the 1,000,000 gold, and I wish good luck to my adversaries.

Marth: Sounds great Laslow, please wait to the side as the other contestants arrive. Anyways, next up is Sylvia, Sylvia is a talented dancer who had relations to the nobility of Grannvales house Edda, her childhood wasn't something to be proud of, she was orphaned at a young age and taught to be dancer, sadly, she was abused by the man who raised her, luckily managing to escape as she got older.

Sylvia: Thank you so much for having me here Prince Marth, Ill make sure to show everyone Im more than just a cute face!

Marth: I'm sure you'll do fine Sylvia, wait next to Laslow as I introduce our next contestant, next up is Kyle, Kyle is a cavalier who serves the nation of Renais, he has a huge sense of duty, hes the type of guy to speak his mind and hes always making sure to help those in need.

Kyle: Prince Marth, I must give you my gratitude for this oppritunity, I will make sure to do my best and if I win, use the funds to help Prince Ephraim and Princess Erika.

Marth: Quite the honorable Cavalier I see, you would get along great with the ones back in Aritia, Kain and Abel, in fact you remind me of Abel in particular, as if you guys were an archetype or something. Please stand with Laslow and Sylvia and wait for the other units. Next up, Gordin! Gordin and I formally met back when Gra betrayed Aritia and Jiol killed my father, a sad time, but Gordin was a great help, he served me and became the most honored Archer in Aritia, he also looks up to Arkaneias sniper, Jeorge.

Gordin: Hey Prince Marth! I cant wait to make Mister Jeorge proud when I win the gold and help Akaneia with the gold, and I'll make sure to do you proud too!

Marth: As long as you put in your best effort, I'm sure you will Gordin, wait with the others as I introduce our next contestant. Next up, Jake, a Grunian Ballistician who, like Laslow, is quite the flirt, luckily his girlfriend, the secret shop merchant Anna doesn't mind at all, if I was like Jake, Sheeda would kill me, but of course I wouldn't.

Jake: Prince Marth, glad to see you again, thank you again for allowing me to join your army back at Akaneia, I was glad to help, I'm sure despite being a Ballistician, Ill do just fine in competing against the other competitors!

Marth: Happy to see you as well Jake, and I should be thanking you for aiding me in regaining back Aritia, please stand with the others until the other units arrive.

Jake: Gordin, glad to see you're hear as well, good luck little buddy.

Gordin: I'm not that little, but thanks, Ill make sure you see exactly what I am capable of!

Jake: We'll just see about that.

Marth: Next to arrive is Kazahana, Kazahana is a determined Samurai of Hoshido, and is the retainer of Princess Sakura, she was trained by her late father and because of his amazing skills he tough her, she is fast and relentless, shame her defense isn't too remarkable, but she doesn't let a flaw bother her.

Kazahana: Hello Prince Marth, I wont let anything stand in my way, and Ill make sure everyone in this competition remembers who's the best swordfighter here!

Marth: There are gonna be some very skilled swordfighters, so I hope you'll be ready for what lies ahead, I know you'll do great. Now, stand with the others as our next unit arrives. Next up we have...Sheeda? Shes here?

Sheeda: Marth, My love! Its so wonderful to see you again!

\*Sheeda hugs Marth tightly and gives him a kiss on the cheek causing Marth to blush uncontrollaby.

Marth:  Sheeda, in front of the others? Gods I am a little embarrased...

Sheeda: My apologies Marth, I just missed you so much, I hope you see me do an amazing job out there, Ill make sure to try my best!

Marth: I know you will Sheeda, but please remember you're like any other contestant, I cannot give you any special treatment.

Sheeda: I understand Marth do not worry.

Marth: Good, please wait by the others that have already arrived.

Sheeda: Well if it isnt Jake, so how are you and Anna doing?

Jake: Fine, thanks for asking, I assume you and Marth are doing good as well?

Sheeda: Yes we are, Oh my stars, Gordin is that you?

Gordin: Hey Sheeda, great to see you, maybe we are gonna see more from our army back in Aritia, hopefully Jeorge!

Jake: Jeorge is cool and all but I'm hoping to see my best friend Beck, the other Ballistician!

Sheeda: I am fine with anyone, but if Roger is here, I do hope he doesn't act awkward around me.

Marth: Next arriving is Marisa, Marisa is a Myrmidon from Jehanna, she is a member of Mercenaries who serve Gerik, she is a mute individual who is skilled with a sword, so she can be silent and kill in an instant

Marisa: Prince Marth, my apologies for not arriving sooner, regardless I will make sure to do my best to show how capable I am, and win that gold, I plan to use it for helping others, including Gerik, I do miss him, since hes my chief, nothing else I swear...

\*Marisa, begins to turn away and walk to the other contestants nervously.

Kyle: Marisa, its great to see you're here, Good luck in the competition.

Marisa: Thank you Kyle, I wish the same for you.

Marth: Next up is Brady, a Priest who may not be much of a fighter, but he can still handle himself in a tough situation, despite being the son of Maribelle, Brady has quite the foul mouth and his manners aren't exactly the best.

Brady: Prince Marth, its quite the honor to meet you, Ill make sure to knock everyone outta the competition, and ya can bet Ill at least make it long enough to show how much I can do.

Marth: Hopefully you will, now please stand next to the others as I continue introducing our competitors.

Brady: Inigo, is that you? It is! Whats with the fancy get up?

Laslow: Brady? Kinda hoping for Gerome but whatever.

Brady: Gee thanks.

Laslow: Thats not what I meant, anyways if you can, please call me Laslow, and we can catch up later, I'll explain everything.

Brady: I suppose thats fine, Ini- I mean Laslow, I look forward to catching up.

Marth: Next up we have Sakura, one of the four royals of Hoshido, as a Shrine Maiden, shes elegant, sweet, and a joy to be around, her Magic is somewhat impressive, and she can be considered a lucky individual herself, unlike that Nohrian Arthur.

Sakura: Prince Marth, its wonderful to meet another member of royalty, I sure hope I do good, Im a little shy but I will be brave for the others back at Hoshido.

Marth: You'll do Corrin and the others proud, I know it, wait with others at the side please.

Kazahana: Sakura! Its so wonderful to see you're here, now I get to protect you here as well as Hoshido!

Sakura: Oh Kazahana, that's so sweet of you but please, don't feel the need to protect me here, I'll be fine, trust me.

Kazahana: As your retainer, without Tsubaki here I'm gonna have to protect you twice as much, so sorry but no can do.

Sakura: Oh boy...

Marth: Next up we have Aira, princess of Isaach, and a descendant of the Crusdaer Odo, as well as the daughter of King Mananan, she has been proven to be a worthy adversary, and with her Asrtra Skill, can demolish many in her path.

Aira: Well if it isn't the prince of Aritia himself, I do hope perhaps we can duel, I want to see what that Falchion can do.

Marth: Um...perhaps one day but first we have a competition to start, my apologies Aira.

Aira: Don't be sorry, Ill wait for our duel, it will be quite fun to duel you I can tell.

Marth: Yes it will, now please go with the others and wait.

Aira: Is that...oh boy its-

Sylvia: AIRA! Oh my gosh its so cool to see you, how is everything!? Is Arden doing good, I know you guys are quite the love birds!

Aira: Yes, hes fine, but please stop being so jumpy, I am beginning to get a headache...

Sylvia: Okay, but we gotta talk later, its been so long since Ive seen you.

Aira: Ok, will do...

\*Aira begins to question her sanity only being here for about 3 minutes.

Marth: Our next unit to arrive, Zagaro, one of the Wolfguard members who served the late Prince Hardin, he is a skilled Horsemen with quite the bow.

Zagaro: Prince Marth, wonderful seeing you again, I must apologize once more for the misunderstanding back south of Pales.

Marth: That was in the past, besides everything was resolved for the most part. Good luck competing, I'm sure you'll do fine, now wait with the ones who have already arrived please.

Zagaro: Sheeda? Surprising seeing you here, I'm sure you're happy to see Marth and all.

Sheeda: Yes I am, how are the rest of the Wolf Guard?

Zagaro: Roshea is doing as fine as ever, and Biraku is fine as well, Wolf seems fine but I can tell he still grieves over the lost of Hardin when he died at the Ageless Palace.

Sheeda: Yes, it was truly sad seeing a man we once called a friend be corrupted by Gharnef and forced to die.

Zagaro: He will forever remain with us in spirit.

Marth: Next to arrive is Niles, Niles was once a low life thief in Nohr, until he met Prince Leo, Prince Leo of Nohr saw good in him and hired him as his retainer, and since Niles has been devoted to Prince Leo and the rest of the Nohr royalty.

Niles: Prince Marth, so wonderful to meet you, you look even more fierce in person! I wonder if Prince Leo or Odin will be proud when I win the gold.

Marth: If you win they certainly will be, now go wait next to the other competitors.

Niles: Laslow? Looks like the pretty boy himself is competing against yours truly, how is everything?

Laslow: Good, and you?

Niles: Pretty good, Nina and I spent the other day sneaking through places and bonding, it was pretty fun, hows your daughter, Soleil?

Laslow: Wonderful, she was flirting with a girl but she struck out, she'll find someone eventually I am sure!

Niles: Well good luck, you'll need it.

Laslow: So will you.

Brady: You have a daughter?

Laslow: Like I said, I'll explain everything later.

Marth: Next arriving is Thormas, Thormas is an Archer who serves Princess Nyna and is one of the members of Midias little group of soldiers along with Dolph, Macellan, and the late Boah. He is a determined, somewhat trigger happy, and honorable Archer, just don't let him near any apples.

Thormas: Prince Marth, I must thank you again for saving me along with the others of Midias lead back when we were captured and planned to be executed, I owe you my life.

Marth: Thormas you're beginning to sound like Kashim, but please dont thank me, as a Prince its my duty to help those in need, wait with the units who have already arrived.

Thormas: I understand, well if it isn't Gordin, tell me what brings you here?

Gordin: Hey Thormas, I am here to compete for the 1,000,000 gold, and I see you are competing as well, how is everything?

Thormas: Excellent, I hope that you and I make it far!

Gordin: As do I!

Marth: Next we have Neimi, she is from the village of Lark and is quite a softy, she is extremely sensitive and can cry over the smallest things, but she is also a fierce and impressive Archer, who should not be messed with.

Neimi: Prince Marth, my apologies if I get a little out of control in this game, I miss Colm a lot and it saddens me to not see him here.

Marth: Do not be sorry Neimi, I would feel the same without my lovely Sheeda. Please go along with the others who are waiting.

Neimi: Marisa? Kyle? What a nice surprise, perhaps I wont be alone after all.

Kyle: Neimi, wondeful that you can join us in the competition.

Marisa: Nice seeing you as well, better than Tethys, she can be quite rude.

Neimi: You're just annoyed of her because she tries to steal Gerik from you, trust me Gerik is more interested in you.

Marisa: What? You're delusional!

Kyle: Not gonna lie, I think that you must have some feelings for Gerik, your body language says it all.

Marisa: Both of you, quiet!

\*Both Kyle and Neimi smirk and laugh a little as Marisa becomes embarrased

Marth: Next is Wolf, the leader of the Wolfguard, a group that were once slaves but rescued by Hardin before the war of shadows, Wolf since has owed Hardin his life, and to this day fights in honor of Hardin.

Wolf: Prince Marth, we meet again...Are things well for you?

Marth: Yes they are, how about you?

Wolf: I have seen better days but I hope signing up for this will get my mind off things.

Marth: I'm sure you'll have a good time, please wait with the other contestants.

Wolf: Zagaro, its nice seeing you here.

Zagaro: Wolf, I didn't expect another Wolfguard member to sign up, I'm glad to see you, I wish you the best of luck my friend.

Wolf: I wish the same for you Zagaro.

Marth: Next to arrive is Pieri, like Laslow, she is one of Xanders retainers and is something else. Her childhood wasnt anything remarkable as her mother was killed by a serveant who was obsessed with her for unknown reasons, and because of this, despite the execution of her mothers killer, killed other servants thinking they were her mothers murderer.

Pieri: Prince Marth, I can see your Falchion is quite stabby...impressive.

\*Pieri gives a creepy grin, unerveing Marth to a high degree.

Marth: Yes, I see, um please go with the other waiting contestants in the back.

Pieri: Laslow, my sweet, you're here?

Laslow: Pieri, my love, its so great to see you're here as well.

Brady: Ini-Laslow? This is your wife?

Laslow: Yes, isn't she amazing? Pieri this is Brady, an old friend of mine back before I became Xanders retainer.

Pieri: I like your scar, did you get it in a blood filled fight? Or maybe a Mercenary or Myrmidon fought and tried to rob you, or-

Brady: A little accident with a violin actually...

Pieri: Oh...that's...cool I guess.

Brady: Don't you guys have a daughter? Where is the girlie?

Pieri: Shes staying with Lord Xander for the time being, no need to worry for her.

Laslow: I do hope you guys make it far, I am sure the both of you will get along great!

Marth: Up next is Dwyer, as the son of Jakob, he was taught how to be a proper butler, despite this, he is often lazy and tired, however when he does serve others, he surpasses his own father, how he does it unexplainable.

Dywer: Hi Prince Marth, its nice to see you, sorry if I don't seem so excited I just woke up from my second nap.

Marth: Its fine, just head to the back with the your adversaries.

Dwyer: Mom? You're competing?

Sakura: Dwyer sweetie, its surprising you're here, I'm happy we get to do some Mother-Son bonding!

Dwyer: Mehhh, better than having Dad teach me more butler crap, maybe I can still get more rest if possible.

Marth: Arriving Next is Maria, the younger sister of Minerva and Michalis, she is a noble blooded sister who is always wanting to help others and prove to people, especially Minerva, that she is a strong willed person, even after being imprisoned at Castle Deil by her own brother, she still saved him from near death, showing how she truly is an angel to others.

Maria: Its so amazing to see you again Marth, (He certainly has gotten better looking since the last time we met) I cant wait for this competition to start, I have gotten stronger, and even learned a few new things.

Marth: I look forward to seeing how well you do, now, go along with the other units please.

Maria: Sheeda, Jake, how are you guys?

Jake: Fantastic if I do say so myself.

Sheeda: I'm doing great, Maria, you okay? You're looking at me weird.

Maria: Yes, I am fine, just a little...exhausted.

Sheeda: Hmm, okay I guess.

\*Jake looks at Maria and he is able to tell Maria is hiding something involving Sheeda

Marth: Vaike is the next unit to arrive, Vaike is a Fighter and a childhood friend of Lord Chroms, Vaike always has the right intentions but he can also be quite full of himself, thinking of himself as a teacher for others, overall though, he is a friendly guy who is worthy of serving Chroms army.

Vaike: Wow, Teach gets to be in front of Prince Marth himself, nice to meet you your highness, I hope we can get along well.

Marth: I can tell we will, now please go to the others if you would so kindly do so.

Vaike: Brady, Brady you're here? Nice seeing you son.

Brady: Pop? You're here as well? Where is Mother?

Vaike: Probably off with Lissa, those two are damn near unseparetable, cant wait to see if any of Teaches lessons rubbed off on you.

Brady: They have, trust me I have gotten stronger!

Vaike: Then we will see who will last longer then.

Marth: Next up is- Merrich? First Sheeda and now Merrich? Huh, well Merrich is my childhood best friend, he left Aritita to go to Khadein to study magic under Master Wendell and was given the Excalibur tome, when he returned to Aritia he aided me on my quest and even married my older sister Elice.

Merrich: Marth, boy am I glad seeing you here! I hope Elice is gonna be here!

Marth: If she is I don't know what to expect to be perfectly honest with you.

Merrich: I can say the same, I hope my skills can be put to the test, and that I make you and the rest of our friends proud.

Marth: You certainly will, we have a few more contestants to introduce, so wait with the others, it wont be much longer. Next we have Nyx, Nyx was cursed one thousand years ago because she would use dark magic on others and was punished for it, now she cannot physically age and remains like this untill there would be a cure for the curse.

Nyx: Hello your highness, I see that many others arrived.

Marth: Yes, only a few remain, if you-

\*Nyx runs past Marth and goes to hug Niles

Nyx: Niles baby, you're here? I cant believe I get to see you and- wait wheres Nina?

Niles: No need to worry, Nina is staying with Prince Leo while we compete.

Nyx: As long as our precious daughter is safe, then that's good.

Niles: Why of course my love, I wish you the best of luck, not that you'll need it.

Nyx: The same goes for you sweetie.

Marth: Well then, that's sweet, Next up is Cynthia, Cynthia is the daughter of Sumia and has a huge sense of justice, she loves being heroic and even has heroic catch phrases, quite a lovable individual.

Cynthia: Wow, Prince Marth, its so nice to meet you, you're like my great grandfather times like 8 or something?

Marth: Well being Chroms daughter, yes, its nice to meet another one to call family.

Cynthia: Promise during the competition we can get to know each other?

Marth: I would love that, if you make it far of course.

Cynthia: Trust me, I will, if you excuse me, I must see my lover.

Brady: Cynthia, first In-Laslow (Crap I'm not gonna get used to that name) now you? I'm so happy to see you.

Cynthia: Aww you're such a cutie, I cant wait to see you and I compete together.

Brady: You took the words right out of my mouth.

Marth: Our next arriving unit is Silas, childhood best friend of Corrins who became a knight in Nohr in hopes of seeing him again when Corrin was isolated from the outside world by King Garon, he has a sense of justice like many others and he will protect Corrin at all costs.

Silas: Prince Marth, pleasure to meet you, will Corrin be competing?

Marth: As far as I am aware, no he will not.

Silas: A shame, I know he would do an excellent job.

Marth: Yes he would, now off with the others waiting please.

Silas: Kazahana, Laslow, you guys are here? Nice! I cant wait to compete along side you guys!

Laslow: Well Silas, its nice seeing you as well, how are Sophie and Orochi?

Silas: Fine, and Soleil and Pieri?

Laslow: Pieri is competing along with us, and Soleil is doing great.

Silas: Nice, Kazahana, how are Tsubaki and Caeldori?

Kazahana: Tsubaki and Caeldori are still trying to "out-perfect" each other, so pretty much the usual.

Silas: That's great to hear, I wish you both good luck!

Marth: Only two more competitors left! Next we have Velouria, Velouria is the daughter of Keaton, and is half Wolfskin, and half human. Velouria has a huge admiration for her parents, Keaton especially, and is a strong and dangerous person you would not want to cross paths with.

Velouria: Your highness, Its a pleasure to meet you, I hope I do great although I could not care for the gold in all honesty, I just want to see how well I improved.

Marth: Regardless if you care or not, good luck Velouria, one more contestant to go, luckily Velouria, you wont be doing much waiting.

Velouria: That is good I suppose, Dwyer? Interesting to see you here.

Dwyer: Oh hey Velouria, hows it going?

Velouria: Good and by God you sound exhausted, how in the hell are you apart of Corrins army?

Dwyer: To be honest I don't know myself.

Marth: Last but not least is Sheema, Sheema, not to be confused with Sheeda, is a General and ruler of Gra, a country once ruled by her father King Jiol, who betrayed my country and killed my father when I was young, Sheema wanted Gra to be protected and I was more than happy to help her.

Sheema: Prince Marth I must thank you again for helping the people of Gra stay safe, luckily at the moment, Samson is watching over Gra so I can compete here.

Marth: No need Sheema, I must help those who are less fortunate, I am more than happy to have helped Gra despite previous history.

Sheema: I see I am the last to arrive, when will we start this competition?

Marth: For now you guys can start getting to know each other within the mess hall, it is right over there, Im sure you guys will like it.

\*A few minutes pass by and everyone is in the mess hall, sitting and getting to know one another

Brady: So Inigo, or Laslow, I dont care, can you please explain to me whats with the name and get up? and what about your wife and child?

Laslow: I cant say everything all at once Brady, but I can say this at the moment, Me, along with Owain and Severa travled to the land of Nohr with diffrent names, I was Laslow, Owain was Odin, and Severa was Selena, Owain and Severa even had a child named Ophelia in Nohr.

Brady: So Marths got another great granddaughter by like...what 9, 10?

Laslow: Yes, we became retainers as well, I was a retainer to Lord Xander, Owain was Prince Leos retainer, and Severa was Lady Camillas retainer, but for now lets catch up, you and I, how are things back at home?

Brady: Good I suppose, Mother has been a pain and such, and Chrom and the rest of the army have been good, although we do miss you guys.

Laslow: I see, how are mother and father?

Brady: Olivia is doing great, shes still shy but shes gained slightly more confidence, and Donnel has been doing fine too.

Laslow: Thats good, and they dont need to worry, I will be back before you know it, Im gonna chat up with Pieri, I'll explain more later.

\*The scene switches to other characters interacting

Thormas: So you're Neimi is it? The name is Thormas, I hope to make some new friends and such.

Neimi: Oh hello, it is nice to meet you, you're a fellow Archer I see.

Thormas: Yes, I must make sure to protect others with my Archery, I may not be much but I do plan to improve.

Neimi: That's nice, I want to protect others too, especially my lover back at home Colm, I cant wait to see him again.

Thormas: I am sure he must be rooting for you to win.

Neimi: He is, I hope I win the gold for him and I.

Thormas: You seem a little shy, perhaps you would like to get to know the other Archers? Gordin is pretty nice, and Zagaro and Wolf are nice guys too.

Neimi: Perhaps later, for now I would like to be alone, thank you...

Thormas: Not a problem, I hope we talk again, soon!

\*The scene switches to Jake and Maria

Jake: Maria, I couldn't help but notice you seemed to look at Sheeda in an annoyed manner, are things alright between you two?

Maria: Jake don't be silly, there's nothing bad between us, what could I possibly have against her?

Jake: Perhaps it isn't about her, maybe its Marth.

Maria: What?

Jake: Didn't you have a thing for him back in the war of shadows? You must be jealous, I know Katua used to like him, and so did Tiki, as well as Malleisa, hes quite a chick magnet I see.

Maria: Those feelings are gone, I promise you that.

Jake: Whatever you say, but if you need to talk about it, I got your back.

Maria: Thanks I guess...but there's nothing to talk about.

Jake: Hmhmmm whatever you say then.

Kazahana: Sakura there you a- wait, you're not Sakura? Aren't you that Macedonian girl, Maria?

Maria: Yes I am, you're Kazahana, that samurai correct?

Kazahana: Yep, I was looking for Sakura, you seem to have a slight resemblance to her, my apologies for the mistake.

Maria: No worries, although if you're looking for Sakura, I would check outside, I think shes chatting with that creepy butler guy.

Kazahana: Thanks! Talk to you later Maria!

Maria: I hope Sakura can handle her, I can barely handle Minervas protection.

\*The scene switches to Sheema

Sheema: It appears I don't really know much people here, and the members of Marths army are no where to be seen, this mess hall is quite big, perhaps I can make some new allies, how about that girl over there. Hello, I am Sheema, General and ruler of Gra, and you are?

Velouria: My names Velouria, I am a Wolfskin who servers under Nohrs army. I see you're a strong female knight of assorts, my mother is the same way.

Sheema: I guess your mom and I would get along well, whats her name?

Velouria: Effie.

Sheema: Sounds like a lovely name, so Velouria, any hobbies or anything?

Velouria: I like to give gifts to people like my father, once I got him a dead rabbit, he loved it a lot.

Sheema: Interesting I guess...

Velouria: What about you? You are quite a lovely looking girl, any special guy back in Gra?

Sheema: That's sweet of you to say, and yes, his name is Samson, I originally hired him to help me protect Gra, and eventually the two of us fell in love, and instead of returning to Aritia, he stayed with me.

Velouria: Aww, thats so cute. Me and my lover Siegbert fell in love after he helped me find stuff like furballs as gifts.

Sheema: Seems nice, glad you got a man of your own too.

Velouria: I see a squirrel I need to kill to give to my father when this is over, hopefully it wont decay much when this game ends, anyways see you later Sheema!

Sheema: What a...unique girl.

\*Kazahana and Sakura are seen chatting

Kazahana:  Sakura, are you doing alright, this kid isn't bothering you is he?

Sakura: Kazahana that's Dwyer, MY SON remember?

Kazahana: Oh my, my apologies Lady Sakura, I didn't notice at first, I am so used to seeing him sleep, you're not offended are you Dwyer?

Dwyer: I don't care, I'm gonna go see what someone else is up to, maybe they can put me to sleep.

\*Dwyer notices Silas a few feet away and tries to avoid him.

Silas: Dwyer, is that you? Hey bud whats up?

Dwyer: Oh geez...Hi Sir.

Silas: Dwyer just because you're married to my daughter does not mean you need to be so formal, we're all friends here, are you really that scared of me?

Dwyer: Um...no um, sorry Sir, I mean Silas!

Silas: Okay then, I noticed Kazahana keeps on being over protective of your mom, does it bother her?

Dwyer: No, but she does wish that Kazahana wasn't so invasive, but its only her doing her job.

Silas: I can be the same towards Corrin, even if I'm not his retainer, so I don't blame her, but perhaps Sakura should be more assertive, she is royalty after all.

Dwyer: I guess.

Marth: Attention units, everyone please head out to the shore where teams will be assigned.

\*Later at the shore

Marth: Now before I split you all into two seperate teams, I want to notify you of this little confession stand. This is where you can go to express your inner thoughts and secrets like a real reality show!

Cynthia: Cool! This is so exciting!

Merrich: I agree, this along with the overall competition of winning 1,000,000 currency of gold is quite invigirating.

Marth: It is time to split you guys into teams of two, if I call your name, please stand on the left, Brady, Zagaro, Sheeda, Merrich, Neimi, Vaike, Pieri, Niles, Dwyer, Kyle, Velouria, Aira, and Sylvia. You guys will be Valms Victorians, for the rest of you, stand on the right which are Marisa, Sakura, Kazahana, Maria, Jake, Cynthia, Silas, Nyx, Laslow, Gordin, Wolf, Sheema, and Thormas, you guys are Pledgians Pontifexes. With that said our first challenge will begin shortly.

\*Time has passed, and the challenge is about to begin

Marth: Its about time we start the first challenge, here are the rules for today. Back in the war of shadows, my quest began after leaving Talis, I along with the rest of my comrades had to fend off pirates, so what each team must do is simple. One team will be "Pirates" being the Valm Victorians, and another will be "Defenders" being the Pledgian Pontifexes, both teams must find each other in a deep and maze like forest in Talis, when all members of either team are defeated, the other wins, to defeat a team member, you must be tagged with these fake lances, they will not harm you as they are made of twigs. Any questions?

Cynthia: I have one, is there any boundaries?

Marth: Yes, there will be a silver fence bordering a part of the forest, if you go past this boundary, you're defeated.

Kyle: I have one, may we throw the Lances like Javelins?

Marth: Yes, but good luck finding it after throwing it.

Aira: Is it possible to accidentally "defeat" your own teammate?

Marth: Luckily for you guys, no it wont count at all.

Niles: May we steal another persons Lance if possible?

Marth: No you may not, but that's a good question. Anymore questions? Nope? Okay, everyone head onto the ship so we may set sail for Talis.

\*Later, the ship is minutes away from Talis

Sheeda: I am so excited to go back to my home country, Marth, do you think I can visit father if possible?

Marth: By all means Sheeda.

Sheeda: Thank you Marth! How long until we arrive?

Marth: Shortly my love.

\*Confession

Sheeda: Im so happy the very first challenge is going to be located at my homeland, Im sure my Marth picked it just for me... hes got looks, and a kind considerate heart. What more could you ask from a guy?

\*Confession over

Sakura: So Maria, I cant help but notice you and I have a similar...look.

Maria: Yes we certainly do, your retainer mistook me for you earlier in the mess hall, My sister Minerva can be quite like her when it comes to keeping me safe.

Sakura: My sister Hinoka as well as Kazahana can be quite protective of me, I don't really mind, but I wish I wasnt treated as a child who needs guidance, I do have a kid of my own after all.

Maria: You have a special someone? Lucky, I was hoping to have someone too, but not as of yet I'm afraid.

Sakura: I'm sure you will find someone you like. You aren't interested in anyone?

Maria: Somewhat, but I will tell you another time.

Sakura: Alrighty.

Marth: Attention units, we have arrived at Talis, everyone grab a Fake Lance and follow me.

Sylvia: Aira aren't you excited for the challenge?

Aira: I guess

\*Aira walks away faster, but Sylvia doesn't get the hint and follows her

Marth: Units, here is the starting area, when I say "GO" everyone run into the forest, when an alarm goes off, you may begin to hunt each other down. 1...2...3...GO!

\*Everyone runs into the forest

Vaike: Brady, you ready to show the other team who's boss?

Brady: Of course Pop, but lets not get ahead of ourselves.

Vaike: Don't worry Brady, Teach got's this all under control.

Sheeda: Talis, just like I remember it, You have never been here right Zagaro?

Zagaro: Nope, but it seems peaceful enough.

\*Meanwhile with the other team

Thormas: Hey Maria, you need help catching up?

Maria: No I am fine but thanks, I think Gordin does. Gordin you alright?

Gordin: Yeah I just forgot how thick this forest can be, I haven't been here for like, what 4 years?

Thormas: I haven't been here before and I am doing just fine!

Gordin: Congrats, want an apple?

Thormas: Very funny.

Maria: Why don't you like apples?

Thormas: I use them strictly for Archery practice, I don't like the taste of them either, so thanks to Midia telling everyone, they all make jokes sometimes.

\*An alarm goes off, signaling the challenge has started

Maria: Crap, lets hide together, the three of us, and we can ambush any passing  "Pirates"

Gordin:  Good idea.

\*Kazahana and Sakura are seen running

Sakura: Kazahana there's no need to follow me, I can handle myself.

Kazahana: I know you're capable fighter but I still must do my honor as a Samurai and help you. Besides if-

\*A noise in the bushes are heard

Kazahana: Get down!

\*Dwyer comes out

Dywer: Hmmm could of sworn I heard Kazahana, guess not.

Sakura: Dwyer, its me, your mother.

Dwyer: Oh hi mom.

Kazahana: Hiyaa!

\*Dwyer is "defeated" by Kazahana

Sakura: Why would you do that?

Kazahana: Cause hes on the other team, besides its not like I hurt him.

Sakura: Yes but hes my son.

Dwyer: Don't worry mom, I was actually looking for Kazahana cause I knew she would get me quickly, Im off to nap now.

\*Wolf is seen walking quietly minding his own business

Wolf: Quite a small Island kingdom, to think this is where the war of shadows first took place.

\*Wolf then throws his fake Javelin up the tree hitting Niles

Niles: I wasn't even making a sound.

Wolf: I can hear better than you think, but nice try.

Niles: Impressive my friend, but may I ask a question?

Wolf: Which is?

Niles: Can you say hi to Zagaro for me, hes right behind you.

Wolf: What?

\*Zagaro strikes Wolf with his fake lance "Defeating" him

Zagaro: I always knew exactly how to sneak up on you.

Wolf: Well played, so Niles was a decoy?

Niles: No, I just happened to have been caught by you and everything fell into place.

Wolf: So mere luck I suppose.

Niles: I'll impress you just you wait, Wolf is it?

Wolf: Yes.

Niles: Well Wolf, prepare to be amazed, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Wolf: We will see then.

\*Confession

Niles: That Wolf thinks hes so cool huh? Mark my words Wolf, I Niles, vow to end you! I must be patient however, Ill be like a spider, awaiting its prey, and when Wolf flies into my web, then Ill strike and end him faster than Levins speed growth!

\*Confession over

\*Cynthia and Laslow are seen walking with each other

Cynthia: So you have a child, and a wife, and a new name? That's some adventure.

Laslow: Yes it is, I missed you and the others back home, its nice we can catch up again.

Cynthia: Sure is, and my cousin Owain did the same?

Laslow: Yes, in fact my daughter and his are best of friends, Soleil can be qu- wait...whats that?

\*Vaike and Brady spring out of a bush, Laslow pushes Cynthia, and gets "defeated" by both of them

Laslow: Run Cynthia, quickly!

\*Cynthia runs faster and faster and has escaped and runs into Marisa

Marisa: Whoa, watch it kid, lucky you're on my team or you would have been caught by now.

Cynthia: Sorry about that, oh my Gods, nice sword, it looks so cool!

Marisa: It is the Shamshir, its a powerful sword, but nothing as remarkable as say, the Miracle Sword, or especially Marths Falchion.

Cynthia: Still it looks cool!

Marisa: Um...thanks I guess.

\*Confession

Cynthia: As the daughter of Prince Chrom and descendant of THE HERO KING MARTH, its my duty to be as heroic and as cool as possible, there's so many worthy adversaries here, so I'm making sure to bring my A game!

\*Confession over

\*"Defeated" units are at this moment Dwyer, Niles, Wolf, and Laslow

Later, Gordin, Thormas, and Maria still wait for any wandering contestants.

Maria: This has been going on long enough, can we go and explore?

Thormas: I suppose one of us can as a lookout or something.

Gordin: I will go, wish me luck.

\*Gordin heads out and notices Brady and Vaike.

Gordin: I see two Victorians, come on Thormas, lets get them.

\*Gordin and Thormas run after Vaike and Brady.

Brady: Pop, look!

\*Brady and Vaike charge for Gordin and Thormas, all four of them are caught by each other.

Vaike: At least we went out fighting, eh Brady?

Brady: As long as we weren't first out I don't care.

Gordin: Marias alone now, crap.

Thormas: I am sure she will find some allies to guide her.

\*Merrich and Velouria, creep around looking for any threats

Merrich: So Velouria, being a Wolfskin and all, would you be able to find anyone via like sense of smell or anything like that?

Velouria: Perhaps, I do smell someone, like tears and regret, Oh wait, its just that weird Archer girl.

Merrich: Neimi? You've been caught!

Neimi: It was that Nyx girl, shes quite a feisty mage.

Merrich: A mage? She may be fun to fight against.

Velouria: But you're a mage, and she is a dark mage, she can probably beat you easily.

Merrich: Not with my precious Excalibur tome, this baby is packed with powerful wind magic, no one can handle its power, that's why Master Wendell of Khadein gave this tome to me, cause he knew only I was capable.

Velouria: I guess if you want to, knock yourself out. Hopefully Nyx isn' still in the area. Neimi, how long have you been captured for?

Neimi: Not too long, she is most likely still within this area, be careful guys.

Merrich: We will.

\*Later Jake is seen running from Pieri

Jake: My Gods, this girl wont give up. I can keep running all day Pieri, so don't waste your breath.

Pieri: I can run longer than you, and trust me the only thing running will be the blood from your nose, you're nothing but a crummy Ballistican!

Jake: So I'm a crummy Ballistician now, am I?

\*Jake stops in place and holds his arm out with his fake lance, Pieri still running with great momentum runs into the lance being "defeated"

Jake: This crummy Ballistican just out smarted you, better luck next time!

\*Pieri growls in anger as Jake runs away laughing, shortly after, Sheeda meets up with Merrich and Velouria.

Sheeda: Merrich! Velouria! Run, Kazahana seems out of control and is running this way!

Merrich: Wait? You mean that crazy Samurai?

Velouria: Guys look!

Kazahana: This is for Lady Sakura!

\*Kazahana lunges onto a tree and then pounces Sheeda and Merrich, Velouria narrowly escapes

Merrich: Damn, lets hope Velouria and the others are still safe.

\*Velouria soon meets with Kyle

Kyle: Velouria? You seem to be exhausted, what happened? Is one of the Pontifexes here?

Velouria: No, but Merrich, and Sheeda, were captured, I managed to escape before she could get me.

Kyle: Who?

Velouria: Kazahana, shes so weird and crazy, and I thought Pieri was a pshycopath.

Kyle: I see, well we better be careful, perhaps find anyone else from our team, strength in numbers after all.

Velouria: I smell Aira and Sylvia near by, and Marisa, shes an enemy, we need to help them, lets go!

\*Marisa is seen dueling with Aira and Sylvia

Marisa: Your Astra Skill is quite challenging, You're pretty damn good, but trust me you're the one whos going to be "defeated"!

Aira: Sorry but not sorry, you're Shamshir may be good, but my Astra will prevail, but can you excuse me for one moment?

Marisa:...?

Aira: SYLVIA! I swear if you don't get here and help!

Sylvia: But I want to see you guys duel, its really cool.

Aira: Whatever, may we continue?

Marisa: Okay then, Hiyaa!

\*Both continue dueling untill Kyle and Velouria arrive

Kyle: Marisa, though we are friends, I must help Aira, so prepare to be captu- what?

\*Marisa suddenly appears behind Kyle and "defeats him"

Kyle: Crap! I forgot how fast you were!

Aira: Now's my chance...take this!

Marisa: Oh no you don't!

\*Marisa strikes Aira and goes after Sylvia

Aira: Damn, shes good...

Sylvia: Wolf Girl, help!

Velouria: Its Vel- nevermind.

\*Velouria transforms into her true form and begins to chase Marisa

Marisa: What the hell is that?

\*Marisa is grabbed by Velouria and is "defeated"

Velouria: Nice try "Pinky"

Marisa: Not bad, not bad at all.

\*Sheema is seen searching the woods

Sheema: Hmm, I see someone walking over there? Why its that purple haired guy, Jake is it? Jake its me, Sheema, your teammate.

Jake: S'up Sheema, I heard Marisa just got "defeated".

Sheema: Sadly yes but I believe we are still in the lead.

\*Zagaro approaches

Zagaro: Huh?

\*Jake and Sheema head towards Zagaro.

Zagaro: A challenge? I don't mind at all.

\*Zagaro climbs a tree with Jake climbing after him, Zagaro accidentally drops his lance.

Zagaro: Damn, guess I'm out of luck.

Jake: No where to run Zagaro, I am impressed you made it this far.

\*Suddenly a fake lance is thrown at Jake

Jake: What the...?

Sylvia: I got you covered Zagaro, now lets get Sheema!

\*Zagaro and Sylvia both jump down from the tree and strike an unaware Sheema

Sheema: Impressive, but you two are the only ones left, good luck, you'll need it.

Sylvia: Thanks Sheeda!

Sheema: Actually Im Sheema.

Sylvia: Okay whatever you say Sheeda.

\*Both Sheema and Zagaro sigh in annoyance, later as time passes by the sun begins to set, and Zagaro and Sylvia approach danger.

Zagaro: I must say, this has been getting tense, I do hope the two of us can make it through this.

Sylvia: Hopefully we do,hey look, I see that Maria girl! Shes alone, lets get her.

\*Maria sees them heading towards her but she doesn't move, as Zagaro and Sylvia head closer a snap is heard. Zagaro and Sylvia fall into a pit with no way out. Maria, gives them a smile as she looks down at them.

Maria: Wow that actually worked? Guess I owe Cynthia my gratitude, speaking of which, Silas, Cynthia, now!

\*Silas and Cynthia run out and throw their lances at Zagaro and Sylvia, ending the challenge.

\*An alarm goes off signaling the end of the challenge.

Marth: The challenge has now ended, everyone meet at the port of Talis for the next event.

\*Later at the Talis port

Marth: Sheeda, when I finish the announcements, you may visit your father.

Sheeda: Thank you Marth! I cant wait to see him

Maria: You sure are happy...

Sheeda: Maria, something the matter?

Maria: Nope

Sheeda: Okay then...?

Marth: The Pledgian Pontifexes have won the first challenge, so everyone on that team may stay for the next episode, however one member of the Victorians must be eliminated, there will be a voting ceremony tonight, for now you all may converse, and Sheeda, you can go see your father now.

\*Sheeda hugs Marth and runs to Talis Castle, Maria stares slightly annoyed

Jake: So, still nothing you want to talk about?

Maria: Yes Jake, do not worry.

Jake: Fine, but you'll crack eventually I can tell.

Sakura: Dwyer, how was your nap? You seem a little shaky.

Dwyer: Yeah, just a little nightmare I had, something about a horse attacking me, I dont care though, but my team lost so hopefully I wont be out first, or else its back to being taught more stupid butler stuff.

Marth: Everyone, when Sheeda returns, we shall set sail back to Aritia to do the voting ceremony, please board the ship as we prepare to leave Talis.

\*Everyone boards the ship except Jake and Pieri

Jake: I cant wait to head back to Ariti-

\*Jake is pushed into the ocean

Jake: What in Gods was that for!?

Pieri: My bad, it was an "accident"

Jake: Accident? Sure it was.

\*Sheeda returns and the ship sets for Aritia

Wolf: I must say, it was impressive seeing you last the longest of your team, even if you were outsmarted by Maria.

Zagaro: Yes, and if we foresaw her trick perhaps my team would have won.

Wolf: So this Sylvia girl saved you from Jake? She must be more skilled than she looks.

Zagaro: She certainly is, despite her child like demeanor, she seems to be a useful teammate. Anyone you find useful on your team?

Wolf: In all honesty, I guess only Jake, Maria, Gordin, and Thormas at the moment, since I only know of them, havent really talked to anyone else.

Zagaro: I see, well hopefully you make new friends.

\*The scene switches to the inside of the ship were a few members of the Victorians discuss who to vote off.

Velouria: So who do you guys think would be best to vote off first?

Neimi: I would say Dwyer, he was the first one out.

Velouria: Understandable but trust me, he is a lot more useful than he seems, he couldn't even lose against Asugi, and he was quite the Ninja. Perhaps a threat?

Merrich: Perhaps Brady or Vaike? They are both Father and Son, so the two are probably gonna be in some sort of alliance if you will.

Kyle: That would seem to make the most sense as of now.

Neimi: But who would be a better choice, Brady or Vaike?

Merrich: Hmmm...

\*Silas and Dwyer are seen looking out at the Ocean.

Silas: I hope you aren't elminated first Dwyer.

Dwyer: Oh um...thank...you

Silas: Don't worry, I am sure you will be just fine.

\*Silas walks away and Laslow talks to Dwyer

Laslow: So are you still like nervous around him because you and Sophie are together? He is perfectly fine with it, you're good kid Dwyer.

Dwyer: I guess so, I will try and not be scared, thanks Laslow.

Laslow: Don't mention it. I see Pieri over there, and she looks a little annoyed, I better see whats up, I'll catch up with you later Dwyer.

\*Laslow goes to Pieri, who is angry pacing back and forth.

Laslow: Pieri my Sweetheart, whats the matter?

Pieri: That Ballistican made a fool out of me, I want him out!

Laslow: Jake? He seems like a nice fellow, what did he do?

Pieri: He out smarted me and "defeated" me in the most stupid way possible, I wont let this go un noticed!

Laslow: Then I pray for Jake that you don't mess him up to much.

\*Cynthia and Marisa are chatting on the other side of the ship

Cynthia: So Marisa, if its not too much to ask, may you tell me about your sword, Shamshir?

Marisa: I suppose that wouldn't be an issue, although don't be too impressed, think of it like a Killing Edge, just more likely to get the killing blow faster, its nothing remarkable but I do love my sword.

Cytnhia: Still cool if you ask me, I heard from Sylvia that you and Aira dueled, it must have been so awesome and heroic!

Marisa: I suppose, thankfully I was able to get her and Kyle out, but that Velouria girl got me, her transformation is quite the spectacle.

Cynthia: I think everyone here has something unique and cool about them, I cant wait to see everything they have to offer!

Marisa: You seem to have quite the admiration for this sort of stuff, I like you, we will definetly get along.

Cynthia: Yay! I'm sure we'll be great friends!

\*Brady and Vaike are downstairs, chatting on who they think will be out first

Brady: So Pop, who do you think should be getting off this country first?

Vaike: I think Dwyer, hes quite the couch potato, or perhaps that Neimi girl, she seems to cry a lot, more than Sumia when she trips in front of Chrom even.

Brady: Well lets both vote for Dwyer then, hopefully the rest of the team does the same.

Marth: Attention Victorians, please head to the camp grounds, left to the mess hall, its time for the first elimination ceremony, good luck to everyone on staying here.

Neimi: Gods I'm scared.

Kyle: Don't be, I am sure our plan will work.

Neimi: Lets just hope our choice to vote gets out.

\*Later when everyone has met at the camp grounds

Marth: Well its time, one of you will be going back home, let me explain on how this works. Each of you will head into this small room, then you will right down who you want eliminated, hand the paper with the vote to me and I will count the votes, and whoever has the most votes, will be eliminated, Pieri, you may vote first.

\*Pieri votes, followed by Aira, Zagaro, Velouria, Merrich, Sheeda, Neimi, Vaike, Kyle, Dwyer, Brady,Niles, and lastly Sylvia.

Marth: The votes are in, if I call your name, you're safe. First safe is...Niles.

Niles: Ohhhh yes!

\*Everyone looks at him with awkwardness with how he just said that.

Niles: You guys are just jealous of my amazing voice.

Marth: Anyways, next is Kyle, Aira, and Sheeda.

\*Kyle, Aira, and Sheeda smile as they are told they are safe.

Marth: Next safe are Merrich, Neimi, Zagaro, Sylvia, and Velouria.

Velouria: The taste of safety...delicious!

Marth: Vaike, Brady, and Dwyers names have still not been called.

\*Brady and Vaike look at each other nervously

Marth: Next safe is, Dwyer.

Dwyer: So I'm safe? I thought I would be first out, well that's a relief I suppose.

Marth: Now, the final unit safe is....with a vote 3-11 is...

\*Both Vaike and Brady begin to tremble in fear

Marth: Brady, you are still safe, My humblest apologies Vaike but you are out.

Vaike: Damn, first out, well at least we had some fun right Brady?

Brady: Sure did Pop, I'll try my best for the both of us.

Vaike: Do me and mom proud Brady! Well everybody, it was nice playing with you guys, guess Im going home now.

\*Vaike walks onto the ship heading back to Ylisse

Marth: There you have it ladies and gentlemen, the first episode of "Total Drama Fire Emblem", 25 now remain, the fun is just getting started, Will Brady do good without his fathers guidance, will Jake survive the wrath of Pieri, will Dwyer not look exhausted? These questions possibly answered next time on "Total Drama Fire Emblem"!
