Smash Brethren 2/Script

Pre-Battle

Old Hubba: Ho ho! Look who's back! Er, I mean, right on time—as predicted!
Chrom: Yes, Old Hubba. We've come to do our part to save the Outrealms. We'll defeat these rogue Einherjar until they're weak enough for you to capture.
Old Hubba: Why, what an excellent summary of the story up until now! Well put, well put! Even better: I tricked one of the phantom armies into thinking they summoned you! It was easy! Their leader swallowed Hubba's bait—hook, line and sinker!
Chrom: An unfortunate metaphor, but good news nonetheless...

Battle

Hector: We've received word from Eliwood. He made it through.
Roy: Good. If Father is in position…
Hector: Then we have the enemy surrounded.
Lyn: Roy, this is our chance. We should strike while we have the advantage.
Roy: I agree. We can't have them calling for reinforcements. Rally the troops!
Chrom: Are you the one who, er...summoned us?
Elincia: Yes. I am Elincia of Crimea.
Chrom: The queen of Tellian lore?
Elincia: ...Lore, sir?
Chrom: Er... My, would you look at all those enemies!
Elincia: Yes. I fear the scales are tipped woefully against us.
Chrom: Should we be expecting any further opposition?
Elincia: No. Our scouts have confirmed the surrounding area is clear.
Chrom: Then it's simply a matter of taking down all the enemies in sight. Heh—perhaps "simply" isn't the best choice of words...

(turn 1 enemy phase)

Innes: Lord Eliwood. Roy's forces are mobilizing to the north.
Eliwood: Then it's time to take the offensive. Come!
Ephraim: Looks like that's our cue!
Zephiel: Prepare to ride!
Eirika: Even warriors from other worlds would come to torment this land? Well, if the others say it to be true...

Post-Battle

If Elincia survived

Chrom: That should be the last of our adversaries.
Elincia: So it seems. I thank you, sir.
Chrom: It had to be done, for the good of all... Summon us again, if the need arises.
Elincia: Oh! Wait, sir... I found this lying on the battlefield.
Chrom: A card? Hmm... "Eirika, Restoration Queen." She's the queen from the old Magvelian tales, isn't she?
Elincia: ...Sir, I must confess that I have no idea what you are talking about. But if the card will serve you, it is yours. I entrust it to your tactician.

If Elincia did not survive

Chrom: That seems like the last of our adversaries.
Robin: Indeed. But you remember how real peace is achieved in these Outrealms…
Chrom: Step by step, one "peace" at a time? Hmph...Yes, I suppose we still have a battle or two to truly finish the fight, eh?
Robin: Chrom, something else—I found this in one of the chambers we cleared.
Chrom: A card? Hmm... "Eirika, Restoration Queen." She's the queen from the old Magvelian tales. I wonder what she has to say...

Eirika Recruitment Conversation

Eirika: I have lost. You fight well, tactician. Just say the word, and I promise to stay at your side, always. ...What? No, that's not a proposal! Ugh, this stupid dress... It's all this bouquet's fault! I shouldn't have caught it. It just invites misunderstanding. Here, I'll give it to you. Oh, I must look a fool...

(Question: Does Eirika look a fool?)

(if answering Yes)
Eirika: What do you mean, "sort of"?! Here, you wear it! Then we'll see what you say.

(if answering No)
Eirika: Well...thank you. That's kind of you to say. To be honest, I am rather fond of this gown, despite what I said... Perhaps some of your ladies would like to try it on later?

(after the previous answer)
Eirika: Oh, how rude of me. I haven't even introduced myself. ...What? You say you already know who I am? ..."Naive"?! Wh-who told you that? ...Well, I suppose it might by partly true. I just can't bring myself to doubt family or friends. Doubt leads to distrust, and that just feels wrong to me. If that's what you call "naive," then I suppose that's how I'll stay. And what of you, tactician? Say a friend of yours came to you seeking help... But he was no longer the person you knew—he was trying to trick you... Would you still give him the benefit of the doubt?

(Question: Would you trust a friend who'd changed?)

(if answering Yes)
Eirika: Y-you would? But you mustn't! You'll only get duped and deceived. ...At least that's what everyone tries to tell me. Still, it's nice to meet a <man/woman> as trusting as me... Might we talk a while longer? I'd like to know more about you...

(if answering No)
Eirika: You wouldn't?! I mean...of course you wouldn't... That's all right. I appreciate your honesty. ...Robin. You're a tactician. You're clever, and wise... Do you think you can teach me how to be less easily deceived? I promise to be an attentive pupil!

(should the player choose to recruit Eirika)

Eirika: Let's go, then.
