Alternate continuation from the end of chapter 2 of Dunbans Sacrifice. Sometimes the concequences of a mistake can be far more spectacular than those of a success.

All does not proceed as expected with regard to a certain princess...Alternate Xenoblade plot line. Events diverge slightly prior to the beginning of the game proper with Shulk. As with all my other Xenoblade stories I recommend finishing the game before reading to avoid potential spoilers.

Someone in the know has second thoughts...Alternate Xenoblade plot line. Events diverge at the end of the colony 9 assault. This story has significant spoilers from the very outset so make sure you've finished Xenoblade before reading this.
