Bound Elsewhere/Script
Part 1: Unknown Future
Pre-Battle
Reginn: …
Sharena: What’s wrong, Princess Reginn?
Reginn: Oh, I just feel so bad… I didn’t think Eitri was the sort of person who would do something like this. I’m so sorry! At this rate, I’m afraid Kiran will—
Sharena: I-it’ll be all right! If any can handle this, Kiran can! PLUS, all thanks to Eitri’s deceit, we now have two strong new allies in Princess Nótt and Princess Dagr! So thing’s aren’t all bad after all. … Right, Alfonse?
Alfonse: … Yes, I suppose that is one way you could frame the situation.
Dagr: Aw, c’mon, Alfster! Don’t look so glum! All we need to do is stop one tiny girl. I can handle her myself! I nearly stopped all of you, so what’s one little girl going to do, hm? *wink*
Nótt: *sigh* Dagr… Try exercising your brain for once. At least… try. That “little girl” is making something and aiming to rival the summoner. That news should trouble you.
Sharena: That’s why she snatched both it and Kiran! …Er, but wait… What does she need any of that for?
Anna: Hmm… It’s strange…
Alfonse: Go on, Commander Anna…
Anna: Well, I checked out the Heroes we encountered, and all of them were summoned over five years ago.
Sharena: Really? That long ago?
Alfonse: That means Ertri hasn’t done any summoning lately…
Anna: Right. But it seems like she suddenly has a renewed interest.
Reginn: Could it be connected to my brother in some way?
Alfonse: That is definitely a possibility. Can you think of any way that might be true?
Reginn: Umm… Hang on… I think I’m remembering something…
(scene change to the map screen)
Reginn: Umm… Uhh…
Sharena: Keep trying to remember, Princess Reginn—but we also need to move to save Kiran!
Reginn: Of course! I’ll do what I can to help!
Part 2: Devoted Darkness
Pre-Battle
Eitri: … It’s starting to get rather noisy out there. If we don’t hurry, they might actually make it through.
Ótr: Be quiet and hurry up! Can you make Járngreipr or can’t you?
Eitri: Ah, Summoner, it must be wonderful for you, the one solitary person to be chosen by the divine weapon… If I had power like that, ohh… I could create a weapon so fine it would rival Thórr’s Mjölnir! …Everything is prepared. There’s but one necessity remaining: your soul. Come now, Summoner…
Alfonse: Stop right there!
Sharena: We made it! Sorry about keeping you waiting, Kiran! It looks like you’ve got your head and all your limbs though—so that’s good to see!
Reginn: I can’t believe you used us, Eitri! I’ll never forgive you!
Anna: The Order of Heroes leaves no one behind!
Dagr: … I know we’re all focused on the summoner, but we’re here to get Gramr back too, right?
Nótt: Excellent point, Dagr. I’ll leave the weak and sick-looking ones for you.
Ótr: Gah! You fools!
Alfonse: Let’s go! It’s time to get you out of here, Kiran!
(scene change to the map screen)
Morgan: Up until now, my faith was unshakable. I was ready to kill my own friends…
Part 3: Savage Boar
Pre-Battle
Ótr: Damn it… If we do nothing— Gah! Come, Summoner! We cannot afford to let you go, you understand!
Nótt: Stop where you are, Ótr!
Ótr: … N-Nótt? What are you—
Nótt: So surprised to see me, dearest? …You will regret leading me along.
Sharena: Over here! I’ve got Breidablik! Kiran! I got this back for you!
Alfonse: Over here, Kiran!
Ótr: No! The summoner stays with me!
Nótt: It’s enough to make a jötun jealous! Taking your attention off me is a mistake! Hyaah!
Ótr: Urrgh! …Such strength! You jötun women are all muscle, no sense!
Dagr: Looks like he needs another, Nòtt! Get him!
Nótt: N-nyah! …Huh?
Eitri: Enough self-indulgence, Ótr. It’s time…
(scene change to the map screen)
Dimitri: All that remains of me is my hate. If I could tear her to shreds right here and now, I would…
Post-Battle
Reginn: Gyaaahh!
Eitri: You have no hope of challenging me. I created Gullinbursti and the sword, Reginn. What hope do you have? Come, Ótr.
Ótr: What about the summoner?!
Eitri: I have no intention of committing suicide with you here. We’ll give up the summoner and retreat for now.
Ótr: Retreat? What about Járngreiper?
Eitri: Don’t worry. You will have the sword Gramr, correct? And we’ll be able to find them easily enough. This sort won’t abide Fáfnir’s brutal tactics. All we need do is attack another country, and they’ll come running. Every time.
Ótr: …You have a point. Then we have an excuse to exercise our cruelty! We can kill and conquer at whim! Let’s return to the castle and make our preparations. Heh… Wait until you hear this, Brother!
(Ótr and Eitri leave, scene changes to new area)
Alfonse: Kiran! Are you injured?
Sharena: I’m so glad to see you in one piece! I don’t know what we’d do without you around!
Reginn: I… I was so worried! I’m sorry, Kiran! *sniff* Please forgive me!
Anna: A-all right, that’s enough, everyone! That said, it is good to have you back, Kiran.
Sharena: So, why did they abduct you anyway?
(screen fades out, then fades back in)
Alfonse: Járngreipr… So that’s what Ótr’s after. A weapons to destroy gates…
Anna: If they’re successful, that’ll be trouble for Askr! We won’t be able to summon any Heroes, and the ones here won’t be able to return home, right?!
Reginn: What could he want with—
Alfonse: Is Ótr so intent on defeating Askr?
Reginn: Hmm… I’m not sure it has anything to do with Askr. You could summon all the Heroes there are, and you’d still fall to Niðavellir’s seiðjárn in the end. He must want Járngreipr for some other reason…
Sharena: That doesn’t make me feel much better… But if that’s true, what could Ótr be after?
Anna: *sigh* We don’t have enough information to make an informed assessment just yet. But even if we lost Gramr, it’s good to have Kiran back. Right, Alfonse?
Alfonse: Indeed, Commander. I’m so glad you’re safe, Kiran. Without you, I don’t know how I could live on… … What’s so funny, Sharena?
Sharena: H-huh? Oh! N-nothing! Please just… ignore me! I’m fine!
Alfonse: …You must be exhausted. Let’s take the rest of the day for rest.
Peony: Attention, everyone! Something terrible has happened!
Sharena: Peony! What is it?!
Peony: Fáfnir is attacking Askr! I came to call you back!
Alfonse: What?! No… Nothing!
Sharena: We’ve got to get back! Let’s go! Stay safe, Mother…
Part 4: Hegemon Husk
Pre-Battle
Alfonse: What? Niðavellir’s army is already so close to the capital!
Anna: Quickly! We must hurry to the castle!
(scene change to the map screen)
Edelgard: My progress cannot be stopped, no matter how many people try.
Part 5: Seeking the Past
Pre-Battle
Askr Soldier: My Queen… Forgive me! We couldn’t stop, Fáf—
Fáfnir: Enough whimpering!
(screen flashes red)
Askr Soldier: NYAAHH!
Fáfnir: …
Dvergr Soldier: King Fáfnir? … What are your orders, sire?
Fáfnir: Rgh… Just defeat them! Here…somewhere… Will we find a hint to my past?
(scene change to the map screen)
Alfonse: Fáfnir!
Fáfnir: …You, huh? And just what do you plan to do?
Sharena: What do we— This is our home! What are YOUR plans?!
Fàfnir: …Silence! Your home will be mine soon enough. I will do as I please!
Reginn: …Brother?
Anna: What is it, Princess Reginn?
Reginn: Something is different…in a way I’ve never seen before.
Post-Battle
Alfonse: Gyah!
Fáfnir: Weaklings! Struggle all you want, but your results will not change. Even with the aid of Eitri and the jötnar, THIS is all the strength you are able to muster? It seems I had more faith in you than was deserved… I was a fool. If you are merely a nuisance, I will crush you beneath my heel here and now!
Reginn: Brother, no!
Alfonse: …No! …
Fáfnir: You are so weak, you are beneath my concern. Die as you will.
Reginn: Fáfnir… Why?
Alfonse: Wait! Fáfnir… If you go— Mother!
