After the downfall of Grust, the last remnants of the military take the inhabitants of a village hostage in a desperate attempt to stave off Marth's forces. However, they are butchered by a mighty warrior named Ymir. Marth's army arrives and finishes off the Grust stragglers; Ymir, who was initially doubtful of Marth's righteousness, is convinced to join him.
