Chapter Text
“Are you sure your okay senpai?” Worriedly asked Sakura to a recovering Shirou “Yeah I think I’m good now” said Shirou who got his bearings.
“That was a very violent reaction, do you have any idea what caused it” questioned Irisviel as she stared at her adoptive son with concern.
“I don’t really know, it started when Archer was unleashing what I guess is his Noble Phantasm” said Shirou unsure, “THAT was not his Noble Phantasm lad!” stated Cu with gritted teeth “Lancer are sure you don’t know anyone else who’s used Fergus sword?” Asked Bazett trying to wrap her head around the mystery servants identity, at first it was a curiosity befitting an enemy master but now it’s just a need to understand how a hero like the red bowman can exist.
‘He fired it like an arrow! I’ve never heard of any hero firing swords from their bows!’
Kiritsugu watched his daughter as she brooded a distance away from them, “Illya…” she ignored him “Illya please” she frowned as she still ignored causing the man to sigh, but his wife came to the rescue “Illya if you won’t talk to your father talk to me instead please” their daughter gritted her teeth “Father abandoned me, replaced me with HIM” angrily stated Illya, drawing Shirou’s attention “He would never do something like that!” Illya stared hatefully at him “What do you know?! You didn’t know who I am!! He’s never told you about me did he!”
“Kiritsugu would’ve tried everything in his power to get you, the Einzberns had you didn’t they…knowing them and learning about the outcome of our war I’m sure they would’ve never allow him to reach you!” cried Irisviel “Mommy don’t defend him, he killed you! He left me and moved on like we didn’t exist!”
“My death was inevitable-“ before Irisviel could continue Shirou asked “Are the Einzberns a german family?” Irisviel surprised at his cut in ”Well yes they are “
Shirou stared into Illyasviel’s eyes with sorrow “Dad made trips to Germany…” Illya's eyes widened “What are you-“ “Every year he plans a trip to Germany and every year he returns sadder and even more defeated than before…” Illya’s shock turned to anger “You’re lying!!”
“Illya please...I would never abandoned you like that, I’m…so sorry” pleaded Kiritsugu, showing emotions that were preserved for those he trusts and loves.
“You-you…” Illya didn’t whether to explode in a fit of anger or cry her heart out.
Half of the spectators of such a scene where moved the others…
“Ugh can the next episode start already” complained El Melloi I “I’m getting sick to my stomach Watching this” Sola-Ui sent him a cold stare causing the man to flinch “Every time you talk makes me sick to my stomach”
Sakura glanced at Rin before looking away as Rin’s nearly contacted hers causing to frown out of guilt.
And speaking of guilty “For a girl so small to suffer in the hands of a twisted family or in Sakura’s case Zouken's” Kariya stated hatefully at Tokiomi who frowned “I didn’t know…” the Tohsaka head admitted.
“You should’ve”
Archer ignored everything that was happening, the audience’s conversations before the next episode muted by his thoughts ‘Sooner or later they will figure out who I am’ he mentally sighed ‘I’m surprised that out of everyone here Fuji-n…Taiga is the only one closest to recognizing me’ yes he noticed the looks of familiarity she’s been sending him, heck he was sure that the only thing stopping her from making the connection is his personality.
Ayako drew everyone’s attention “The next episode is starting!”
KIRITSUGU: Nice night, isn’t it, Shirou?
‘Oh…this night…’ thought both Archer and Shirou. While Irisviel, Maiya and Illyasviel noted how frail he looked with the later having a conflicted expression.
YOUNG SHIROU: Yeah, it’s clear, and the moon is full.
“Is this when Kiritsugu...passed?” muttered Taiga with sorrow.
‘Senpai looks so cute’ blushed Sakura seeing the young Shirou.
I bet I’m gonna remember this night for the rest of my life!
Archer groaned, loudly enough for others to send him curious glances.
KIRITSUGU: You don’t say. It’s nice that we get to share nights like this, little guy.
“Oh Kiritsugu…” said Irisviel saddened at not being able to share it with him, Illya just frowned as she focuses on him.
Never thought l’d be able to do things like this. Just goes to show you – life’s a crazy bag of marbles.
“Marbles?” asked Issei adjusting his glasses.
YOUNG SHIROU: Marbles?
RIN [distorted]: Yo, nerd..
“Rin?? That was Rin’s voice!” Pointed out Ayako now confused about what’s going on, the Rin in the audience just as confused and feeling dreadful at the same time.
KIRITSUGU: One big, crazy bag of marbles. Blue marbles… Red marbles..Half-transparent marbles with a fun swirl in them…
Cu raised his brow “Where is he going with this?”
RIN (d]: Yo nerd, are you actually gonna die or what?
“I think he-I mean me or I am dreaming here” guessed Shirou, everyone accepting the answer.
KIRITSUGU: Some marbles are even more interesting. Some marbles you think are going to be limited edition with king designs. But then they’re the equally limited, but much more surprising, *female* king marble.
“Huh?” Saber couldn’t help but utter, “Don’t tell me he’s going to describe his experience in the fourth grail war using marbles” Risei wanted to facepalm.
Some argue that’s debatably rarer.
“Huh? Doesn’t feel rare for some reason” said Ayako with a perplexed expression.
I argue that’s anxiety-inducing.
“Yes! Kiri~ is right!(“Kiri??” Irisviel silently uttered) who’s to say king Arthur is the only example of a female figure thought to be male!” proclaimed Taiga “I can imagine the headaches all historians would experience if they were aware of examples like Saber!”
Iskandor could help but think of his ‘shadow’ and how they acted as his ‘double’. Effectively.
Medea thoughts went to Pollux and how history depicted her.
Gilgamesh admitted that even though they got his gender right, he is not a muscle bound hairy man nor is Enkidu ‘This is what happens when humanity is left to their own devices without a proper ruler’ he scoffed.
Some like to abduct smaller marbles.
“Excuse me?” abruptly said Risei.
Then you got to shoot that marble…..cause its marble buddy brought a really big, black tentacle marble.
“Woah that sounds really awesome!!” Uryuunosuke exclaimed with clear excitement.
“Ugh, that answers who he is referring to” Sola-Ui said with disgust.
Marbles sure are random, especially when you force them into wheelchairs, hold other marbles for ransom, forge a magical pact with a marble that forces you to watch as they grovel in pain on the ground, begging for the sweet release of marble death!
Both Kayneth and Sola-Ui got chills up their spines.
“Wha-what the fuck!” shouted Ayako, Shirou had dinner plates for eyes, Rin on the other was curious sending the magus killer – Shirou’s Dad – a quick glance before tightening her hold on her seat.
But you can’t. Because you signed a magical marble pact….and you can only watch… as its last marble breath… escapes… its marble… lips.
Silence filled the room.
“Odd analogy, but very um informative…” Issei broke the silence. Taiga was just speechless.
YOUNG SHIROU: Dad? Did marbles hurt you?
KIRITSUGU: No, kiddo. I hurt me. I also hurt marbles. I feel worse about the marbles.
“I hope you now understand what it means to be a hero of justice” Archer addressed who glared at with surprise “Pain and suffering half of which is caused by your hands will claw through your very life if you wish to continue chasing your foolish ideals”
“Don’t presume you know anything about me and my ideals!!” shouted Shirou, “Oh I know more than anyone else in this room” Archer merely stated causing Shirou to grit his teeth.
Everyone was just perplexed by their back and forth.
Medea began to think ‘What is it about that boy that has that servant so aggravated, does he see something about him?’ she thought remembering his clairvoyance which from what she saw is triggers when in the presence of potentially dangerous foes.
Kiritsugu was just wondering what got to his future self’s head to think it’s a good idea to steer a child into his ideals for heroism.
RIN [d]: Hey Shirou, Saber left the room. Stay unconscious if you want me to take her.
“Damn Rin way to change a mood” laughed Ayako, “I said once and again don’t associate me with her” angrily replied Rin.
“So you’re not Bi for Saber?” Ayako wiggled her browser suggestively causing the Tohsaka heir to blush while trying to ignore her comment.
ARCHER (d: All | wanted. Was to save every marble in front of me.
“Was that the archer servant?” asked Waver a questions shared by many, hearing his voice in what they assume is Shirou reliving a memory.
“Again this gut feeling” muttered Taiga and now Sakura plus Issei racked up their brains at the odd inclusion.
SHIROU: (Gasp)
Sakura’s early vanished as she saw Shirou was unhurt and became slightly irritated that Rin got to see him nearly half naked.
RIN: Welcome back to the world of the living.
SHIROU: D’ugh! What happened?? Where am I??
RIN: Oh, wish l could jump out of bed like that. I am 0% a morning person.
“Yet your always so early to school” Issei said with a flat voice.
SHIROU: H.. don’t understand!
RIN:I mean, it’d be great if the world could just agree that everyone’s day should start at 12, Except postmen… Postmen need to do their damn job.
“Damn I wish this Rin was our Rin” said Ayako her mind thinking about tye exciting friendship she could’ve had with her.
“Shut up Ayako!”/”Absolutely NOT!” Was the replies of both Rin and Tokiomi.
SHIROU: What happened to me? How did I get hurt like this?!
RIN: You were in the area when Archer nuked berserker. And – now hold on, because you might’ve misheard me –“You got close to Archer blowing up berserker.” What | *said* was, “Archer *nuked*Berserker.” It was FUCKING AMAZING!
“It wasn’t that amazing! You’re servant is still nothing compared to my beserker!” childishly bragged Illya.
SHIROU: Wow. I can’t believe I survived something like that.
‘Unfortunately’ you can guess who thought that.
RIN: You win some, you lose some. I fixed you ‘cause Saber said if you died from a wound Archer dealt you, she’d rather die than form a contract with me.
“I admire her loyalty!!” proclaimed Iskandor “Thank you for the praise but it is expected for any Knight to show thus loyalty” said Saber with a smile.
“But not for a king” Gilgamesh simply stated “What are you saying? A king is loyal to their people!” Saber’s retort only made the golden king laugh “You’re adorable!” his comment drawing Saber’s rage.
SHIROU: I owe you my life, Rin!
RIN: A-ha! You; yeah. Like twice.
[sotto] Oh my God, I saved your life twice; I’m a horrible Master.
“You could’ve easily prevented a servants summoning or let him die to get rid of one servant in the war” sighed Bazett “Please tell not everyone in this war is going to make the same mistakes as my Servant” shocking Cu “Oi!!?”
SHIROU: What was that?
RIN: Exquisity-ooze-me, my nosy dude! I don’t eavesdrop on your* private-out-loud conversations with yourself!
“Shirou as your friend I just want say, if you really talk to yourself it’s probably a clear sign of mental issues” said Issei with worry “I’m fine” said Shirou with a smile, a smile those closest to him can tell its fake.
SHIROU: Well…Thanks then, Rin. Does… Does this mean we’re friends?
RIN: No! It does not mean we’re friends. Next time I see you, you’re 100% DEAD! HOWEVER, YOU… …should wear tighter shirts. Y-you have a pretty rockin’ bod. You should own that more.
Shirou heavily blushed.
“Oh my~ she’s not wrong~” said Ayako, while Rin released a silent scream.
‘You won’t take him from me!’ was a dark thought at the back of Sakura’s mind.
“Is this what they call young love” coed Irisviel, “Teenagers” sighed Risei but remembered he was young once.
SHIROU: Was that a compliment?
RIN: Yeah! The only one I’m *evert going to give you. Consider it my gift to a dying Albeit hunky – man!
“I approve!” said Aoi, surprising both Tokiomi and Rin.
“MOM!?”
ARCHER: (telepathically) Rin.
RIN: [t] Yes, Archer?
ARCHER: [t| Did… you mean what you just said? About Shirou having a “rockin’ bod”?
‘Goddammit! Real subtle!” annoyingly thought Archer Emiya.
“Are you jealous or something!?” Snickered Cu. While the others just accepted and shook off the archer servant’s weird fixation, but one person in particular had wide eyes as her mind came to an unbelievable conclusion.
RIN: [t) Yeah. Even if he is an enemy, assassinating a man’s self-esteem is beneath me.
‘Liar’ thought Shinji remembering how hurt he was when Rin rejected his advances “All I need is an opportunity” darkly muttered the blue headed master.
ARCHER: [ Ha! No it isn’t!
RIN: [t) You’re right. I’m a monster. Maybe that’s why I summoned you.
“Bro if your really Satan you can hang with me and caster, we can really have some fun you know” excitedly said Uryuunosuke drawing many disturbed looks with Archer ignoring him.
ARCHER: [t) You’ve got a pretty rockin’ bod yourself.
Rin blushed, a reaction she’s questioning very intensely in her mind.
Sakura’s heart hurt, a reaction she’s very confused by.
Before Taiga could blurt out her thoughts “That I can agree with you!” said Cu pretty suggestively, only those from the modern era had faces of discomfort and a few indifference.
“I don’t know what time periods you both came from but that kind of attention from some of your age is really creepy nowadays” said Ayako with some disgust, while in her mind they are both very hot, verrry hot but that doesn’t change the fact they are pretty much old enough to be her dad.
Cu scoffed “You people need to relax I’m just admiring from afar” “That’s even creepier!” Ayako’s comment was ignored “Archer as you heard understands, right Archer?” Cu addressed the red bowman at the back “Need I remind you that this Archer servant is not me nor are the other versions similar to the ones in here in personality”
“He looks like you and is a jackass like you, I don’t know it seems like he’s a mirror image of you” said Cu with a smug grin “Are you sure about that dog? Cause from what I saw it seems like your variant is more competent than you”
“Oi you wanna fight!!?”
RIN: That’s not weird at all.
“You can say that again” Issei sighed.
[Scene change]
“Issei!” Ayako happily exclaimed, while all of Issei’s being filled with dread, he silently prayed that thus version of himself is sane.
SHIROU: Hey lssei, are you still at school? I wanna come pick up work I missed and stuff.
“Even after everything you still want to focus your education” Taiga cried dramatically with tears “I’m so proud!!” her joy distracted her from her inner conflicting feelings concerning Archer.
The masters of the fourth and most of the servants found his behavior to be utterly stupid.
ISSEI: It’s actually good you didn’t come to school today Emiya, as somebody affixed a bomb to your chair, and a distorted message played on the PA system and it exploded.
“Oh my god” Tokiomi leaned back with a tired expression.
SHIROU: Did the message say “100% Maximum No Chill” with the volume so loud you got the impression the volume knob prolly got torn off in a manic fit of lunacy?
“Got her figured out already” Kariya chuckled.
Rin shook her fist “I hate her soooo much!!!”
ISSEI: How did you know that? And so specifically?
SHIROU: Just a feeling. A person can only threaten your life so much before you get what they’re about.
“Something that can be observed even in a serious situation” Diarmuid commented with understanding.
ISSEI: Who do you think did it?
Issei snorted.
[Scene change]
ARCHER: This building reeks of magic. Old magic. The Servant was involved. How would you like to proceed?
“Please don’t tell me a servant is targeting civilians” angrily said Risei.
‘All advantages are permitted in a war honey’ Medea silently laughed.
RIN: [t] We could blow it up. I’ve got some bomb parts leftover after Project Anti Lameoid.
“Thankfully it failed” sighed Irisviel while Illya ‘humphed’.
ARCHER: (t] Rin…!
RIN: [t] | know, I know; too flashy. I just like saying these things out loud.
ARCHER: t| Ladies and gentlemen, the girl has limits.
“Ahhh really!” sadly said Ayako, “No! Good!” was a tsundare’s angry reply.
[Scene change]
SHIROU: Saber? Are you out here? Ah, there you are. Figures a swordswoman like you would be drawn to a place of combat.
“Would you mind sparing with me pretty please!” asked Taiga, Saber shook her head “With my strength I could easily overpower you” Taiga didn’t give up “Then why don’t you maybe lower your strength to human levels”
Saber shook her head again “Even if I were not to enhance my strength with magic I would still be stronger, my form is quite muscular”
“He…he..hahahahaha!!’ Iskandor, Cu, and Gilgamesh laughed out loud and near to tears.
Others had flabbergasted expressions.
“Oh no, no, Saber, you are fair and beautiful like a delicate flower” chided Medea by instinct, her slightly glazed as she looked at the confused and irritated king of knights ‘Oh the cute dresses I could put you in…’
Archer on the hand can say that her soft looking skin deceptively hides the iron it covers, from…personal experience.
SABER: How are you feeling? Archer almost extirpated you.
Taiga looked as if she ate something sour before glancing at Archer whom met her eyes with a glare surprising her before she turned away in a hurry ‘Please let me be wrong about this, they are nothing alike!!’
SHIROU:I feel great! Since you used a word like “extirpated”, I must’ve been in bad shape. That is a “Word A Day Calendar” word.
“He’s quite calm about this…” said Kiritsugu with concern, one shared by his wife, Shirou’s close friends and family.
SABER: The English language is like the blade in three ways, master. It can cut deep when wielded with competence. It appreciates pageantry. And like the blade it does not care for gender.
“To think you guys thought my classes were boring, shame on all of you!!” exclaimed Taiga, causing Ayako to roll her eyes.
You confuse me though. Do you not remember last night?
SHIROU: Still kinda wobbly, honestly.
Our Shirou frowned, vividly remembering the sensation he got when Archer used his ‘Noble Phantasm’ “What was that…” he muttered quietly.
SABER: Do you remember what the priest told you?
SHIROU: I met a priest??
“A fake priest!” dryly stated Rin
SABER: What do you remember?
SHIROU: Uhhh… Il got killed at the school, then I was un-killed, likely due to some heroic hidden quality I didn’t know I had.
Rin smugly held up her head “Heroic quality? Is that what your gonna call me saving your life Emiya” Shirou blushed “I wouldn’t call it that…”
“I have a name for it: bullshit!” said one angrily blue lancer ‘My spear’s cursed to inflict permanent wounds! No normal magecraft could’ve healed that!’
‘Avalon?’ both Irisviel and Kiritsugu thought at the same time. Something our Saber sadly didn’t figure out.
SABER: Uh-huh.
SHIROU: Then the guy who killed me found me, you got summoned, Rin showed up with a red guy named “Archer” and was mad at me, we walked around, then I’m pretty sure that a tiny Godzilla showed up with a tiny girl, and archer Hiroshima’d us.
“Hiroshima’d?.....” Issei said with a raised brow “What’s a hiroshima?” asked Iskandor with clear confusion, surprising the masters.
“You SHOULD know due to the grail supplying you with the knowledge!” Kayneth exclaimed not believing the servants confusion.
The rest of the servants where just as confused as the king of conquerors.
SABER: I… don’t know what “Hiroshima’d” is. I guess the Grail doesn’t deem it relevant information for a Servant.
This caused nearly everyone’s, who isn’t a servant, jaws to drop.
“That is ludicrous!” Tokiomi angrily shouted.
"I apologize for coming off as rude, but that word sounds Japanese and I still can’t deduce what it is.” Smoothly said Sasaki with interest, the masters looked at him with wide eyes.
“Einzberns!! Explain yourselves NOW!!” Demanded Tokiomi “I don’t understand how this happening nor why!!!” came Irisviel’s loud reply.
SHIROU: That’s somehow both very ignorant and very progressive of the Grail.
“More like faulty! This is concerning!” said Risei “Could there be more faults like these? Lesser or even greater?” questioned Kirei, stressing his father even more, Irisviel wanted to argue back but she was to flabbergasted to reply.
SABER: In any case… You’re a Master fighting six other mages and Heroes for the Holy Grail [sotto] – may we bask in its radiance – which will grant you and I, your Servant, each a wish.
The masters that “know” simply kept their mouths shut concerning who ACTUALLY gets the wish.
SHIROU: Oh, right! I want to use that to be a hero! It’s all comin’ back now! Is it… possible that… we… and Rin can win the war?
SABER: I appreciate your optimism Master, But alliances haven’t been working out for you. You’ve already got three of the worst Servants trying to murder you.
‘She’s right Shirou’s position is a bad one alright’ thought Kiritsugu with a somewhat worried expression.
SHIROU: Oh… uh, do you remember anything about Berserker’s Master, llya?
“Unfortunately servants don’t hold onto past Grail war memories when manifesting again child” pointed out Risei.
SABER: No! I do not know anything about Ilyasviel von Einzbern. Or her mother. Or her terrible father. I have no connection to that family.
Risei threw his arms in the air and leaned back with a tired expression.
Kiritsugu raised a brow while Irisviel and Illya all blinked rabidly.
SHIROU: Ooo-kay..? You’ve got a lot of pent up..Something. You clearly live a complicated life, Saber.
SABER: Don’t worry about it! Or llya, who has no connection to you or I.
“Oh wow” Illya giggled.
SHIROU: Alright. I gotta head to school, though.
“You’re an idiot Emiya” Shinji found his voice, Ayako glared at him “He’s our idiot!”
SABER: In that case, I shall accompany you. These streets can be Diggity-dangerous.
“We do not speak like that!” exclaimed Issei, Waver sighed “Good, hearing this slang made me feel really out of touch”
SHIROU: You’re still doing that modern slang thing… But, come on Saber. I *don’t* need an escort. I’m just heading to school – a safe environment – To pick up some papers and head back.
“I can’t believe I’m saying this but Shinji’s right!” begrudgingly said Rin
SABER: Is this the same school where you got “killed” and “un-killed?”
SHIROU: Di-- …Yes.
SABER: Well then, guess where the fizzity-uck I’m going.
“I’m very thankful none of my knights are seeing this” Saber said with some relief.
While a bound black knight at the far shook not with rage but…silent laughter.
[Scene change]
Huh? (Grunt)
SHIROU: The Servant stuff you’re probably feeling is me getting killed here last night.
“Senpai!”/”Shirou!” were exclaimed cries from Sakura and Taiga.
“There’s nothing to worry about I’m still alive in the end” Shirou tried to reassure but all it accomplished was the opposite.
SABER: Master, you’re far too calm about having died.
“Agreed” said Saber with a frown.
SHIROU: Yeah. Guess I’ve seen worse.
Shirou flinched, Issei, Sakura and Taiga having looks of understanding, the others were just plain clueless and confused.
SABER: What!? What have you seen that’s worse than having your heart torn open??
“Damn I really want to know too” said Cu with interest.
[Scene change]
This generation of schools have hallways wider than our entire schools.
“Yet despite their advancements they continue to teach them rubbish that doesn’t prepare them for the world” said Gilgamesh with a bored expression “Hey! We do plenty teaching kids how to make it in the world” argued Taiga but she was ignored by the golden king, she huffed before taking a quick glance at Archer Emiya.
Huh?
Issei inhaled a big puff of air, while Medea wanted to swoon.
SOUICHIROU: Hmm?… young lady. Did you think I would not notice your presence here?
“And like that I can tell he’s way more expressive than our Souichirou-san” Ayako was giddy to seeing any more differences.
“He’s perfect the way he is” muttered Medea with venom, Kuzuki just watches with the same expressionless face he always has.
SABER: Are you challenging me, knave?
“Oh dear” said Aoi fearing a conflict in a public space like this.
“Now you sound like a king!!” said Iskandor with a chuckle, “Are you trying to insinuate something Rider!”
SOUICHIROU: I merely noticed, *young lady*…Your outdoor shoes. Please wear indoor shoes inside this school.
“Damn I thought we were going to see a cool fight!” moaned Uryuunosuke, “Hah! No human can stand a chance against a servant especially against my beloved Jeanne!!” declared Gilles.
SABER: You shall refer to me, peasant, as your King!
Artoria really wanted to slap herself right now, Iskandor’s laughed boomed
“Continue like that and people would take you for a tyrant” Diarmuid chuckled
SHIROU: [afar] Saber!
“You call her by her class name in public!!!?” exclaimed Keyneth who couldn’t believe he died just so these idiots could take his place, well that is if he’s other self isn’t as deranged as their counterparts.
SABER: [to herself] Right. Servant. [normal] You shall refer to me, peasant, as Young Lady!
SHIROU: Saber, wait! (Gasping for air) Mr. Yamashiro, she’s visiting family, She doesn’t know about inside shoes l’m sorry!
“Yama…shiro?” Kuzuki was genuinely caught offguard by that, with Issei and Medea being just as confused.
SOUICHIROU: Shirou Emiya.. If you’ve appeared before me now…Then your time here.. has come to an end.
“Ohhhhhh threatening” said Illya wondering where this is going, while Shinji cringed “This guy seems more menacing than our…guy”
SHIROU: Yes, I know school’s out Mr. Kuzuki. I’m just here to get some stuff.
SOUICHIROU: Do as such, Emiya. Then flee before darkness falls and your way becomes unclear.
“Okay Shakespeare” Ayako deadpanned “What do you think Taiga, since you’re an english teacher?” asked Ayako, though Taiga was distracted by her thoughts and inner turmoil thus was caught offguard by the question “Wha-! Wait could you repeat that!” frantically said Taiga.
The others looked concerned “Are you okay Fuji-nee?” Shirou was clearly worried “Yeah I’m 100% Maximum Chill!!” this caused Rin to groan in pain.
SHIROU: (to himself That was close).
SOUICHIROU: Though… you don’t believe I didn’t notice the special qualities of this… “friend” of yours? Your familial lie cannot deceive me.
“Wait Kuzuki is a Master!?” said Shirou with surprise, causing nearly everyone in the theater whose part of the fifth war to deadpan at his question.
Issei scrunched up his face, while Medea was angry at Kuzuki's counterpart for blowing his cover – not the one in the theater as she is aware the other “competent” masters and servants connected the dots pretty easily with how close she was to him.
SHIROU: Huh?
SOUICHIROU: She’s an 8. 7 at worst. Good job ,Emiya.
“Or I could be wrong” embarrassingly said Shirou, while Saber’s jaw dropped.
SHIROU: ls there *anyone* who isn’t attracted to my Servant?
“She’s a bit on the frail side for my tastes” said Iskandor with a thinking pose.
“If only she had bigger boobs” sighed Cu.
“I’ve already found my love” said Diarmuid with longing.
“All she needs is a proper dress~” suggestively said Medea earning looks from Issei, Kuzuki and Sasaki.
“AArrrrrrrthhhhuuuurr!!!!”
“NOOOOOOO! I WON’T LET ANYONE TAINT HER PURITY!!”
“Would you all SHUT UP!! Enough of this!!” exploded Saber with a red face expressing her fury.
SABER: I’m not sure what to make of that man. He speaks with the cadence of an enemy.
“Damn straight!” exclaimed Shinji.
SHIROU: He’s frightened so many students away from the school that he’s not allowed to teach Drama anymore. Thing is, he was only the Drama Teacher, So he technically doesn’t have a class. But nobody wants to fire him.
Issei held his face with his hands while those that knew the man sweat dropped, “Its seems like even Kuzuki isn’t free from the craziness of this world.
SOUICHIROU: [PA] As the sun dies, Follow the path of flickering lights…for they alone… will guide you to safety.
SHIROU: He either just wished us a safe trip home, or threatened everyone.
“I’ll say it once and say it again I really prefer these versions over ours” sighed Ayako “You don’t mean that Ayako…do you?” sadly asked Sakura.
“Nah I’m just kidding, their more of an headache than actually fun, plus nothing beats the originals”
[Scene change]
AYAKO: Heya slugger! You’re in top form today! Been working out? Who am I kidding? I’m talking to pro archer SHIROU EMIYA! ‘Course you’ve been working out!
“Yay! It’s me” exclamation Ayako, Rin flatly replied “You don’t seem that different from your usual self”
Archer’s brow twitched as Taiga paled.
SHIROU: Hey Ayako! Haven’t seen you much since I left the Archery Club! Which is something I was very good at.
“You were part of an archery club?” Irisviel was interested, “Well yeah but I kinda left it after I healed from an injury” said Shirou shyly rubbing the back of his head “Oh, why did you stop?” She asked.
Ayako replied for him “He lost interest or so he says, I’ve been trying to convince to come back we could use his insane archery skills!”
AYAKO: *You* were a goddamn archery *star*! E-he-he… Enough about how fan-tucking-fastic you were at archery!
“Well I wasn’t that good…”
“Shirou you were by far the best archer in our team, I’m willing to admit that!” replied Ayako.
“It sounds like our boy has a talent for archery Kiritsugu”
“Hm”
“I hope we get to see those skills of yours boy, I’ve met some very capable archers in my life and I want to compare” declared Iskandor with a laugh.
As their conversation went Taiga became even more pale.
Did you um, did you piss off Rin lately?
SHIROU: Oh, you know me and Women… If it’s not one thing, it’s another equally threatening thing.
Sakura, Saber, and even Medusa felt as if that’s addressed to them much to their confusion.
AYAKO: Don’t start up with that, Shirou. You may be an *Adonis* on the archery range, but when it comes to women, you’re not even a Player.
‘Good’ a thought at the back of Sakura’s head.
“Sorry not sorry!~” said Ayako unapologetically.
“Damn kid” said Cu shaking his head “That’s harsh, but hey atleast your good with archery, a cowards way of fighting in my opinion”
“Care to call me a coward, dog?” both archers in the room said at the same, before they realized what happened and sent death glares at each other.
SHIROU: Harsh but fair. That’s harsh but fair. Why do you ask?
AYAKO: She gave me a knife earlier; told me to give the old Olympic try at stabbing you. It wasn’t a normal knife either. It was coated in some kind of luminescent Goo that ate through my locker(!)
“…..what happened to my daughter in this world….” Tokiomi asked with sorrow, a sentiment both Aoi and Kariya agreed with.
“Damn she’s bold” Ayako whispered out loud. Shirou just shivered.
While our Rin only remained silent with the expression of a dead fish.
SHIROU: Ohh! What did you say?
AYAKO: I told her no.
SHIROU: Then what did she do?
AYAKO: She gave me a second knife; told me not to fail her a second time.
“And consistent…” said Issei scowling.
SHIROU: Intense.
AYAKO: 0bviously, I’m not gonna stab you. Rin’s probably just on a warpath again.
“She’s always in a warpath it seems” Risei tiredly pointed out.
Y’know, I heard that in junior high, she broke a kid’s legs in a marathon to come first.
“You know that actually sounds like something our Rin would do” jabbed Issei “Go ahead Issei please continue cause once we are out of this place I’M breaking your legs” she responded calmly with visible veins on her forehead.
SHIROU: The more I find out about Rin, the more I respect and fear her.
“Respect is not the word I would use to describe her” said Shirou with a grim expression before Ayako jokingly responded with “She knows her pecking order, that’s worth all the respect you have”
AYAKO: You take care, OK? Wouldn’t want her deranged obsessions to injure those God-touched bow-drawing fingers of yours~! You are just *so* good at archery!
“Why do I feel like they’re trying to tell us something…” Waver couldn’t help but utter.
“That the lad is a good archer?” asked Cu with a raised brow.
SHIROU: Ayako. I am *basically* Robin Hood.
EMIYA’s felt a small tug in his recovering memory ‘Interesting…’ he thought.
“I HAVE A QUESTION!” Taiga loudly declared garnering all the occupants attention looks of surprise, disgust, confusion and indifference was what she met.
“What’s the question” Ayako cautiously asked, Taiga pointed at the adult mages in the room “Can this Grail summon heroes from the future?!!” she exclaimed as she stood on her seat something thought to be impossible in their predicament.
“N-n-no! It can’t summon future heroic spirits!” Irisviel answered her a bit shaken by abrupt the woman was “its even impossible for people of this era to reach the throne of heroes”
“Ah-Ha!!...wait really? Like is there maybe any exceptions….” Taiga started to deflate from her confidence with confusion and a conflicted expression “No you blubbering fool!!” Kayneth harshly responded.
“Master please that is not how a man should treat a fair maiden (“Fair maiden?” Taiga muttered with a blush) I apologize for my master outburst” Diarmuid said sincerely while his master huffed, “I believe I know where she’s going with this, she thinks that young Shirou could possibly ascend to the throne in the future especially considering his peers praise of his archery skills”
“Even if such a thing was possible, which I repeat isn’t, he would be by far the weakest servant of all, he would literally have no legend to empower him in the present” Tokiomi explained causing Taiga to slouch even further.
“Oh…okay I guess I was wrong…” Taiga sat down on her seat with a dark cloud over her head, Shirou and others made their worry known.
AYAKO: Yknow. ..l can’t help but wonder what Rin’s thinking sometimes.
KEEP UP WITH THAT IRON, SHIROU! WINNERS NEVER SLEEP!
SHIROU: Wonder what Rin’s doing right now…
“I’m not” Rin grumbled.
[Scene change]
RIN: Hello, skeledogs. My name is Rin. That’s one letter off from what you should be doing right now.
“Hmm” hummed Caster already seeing this as her handy work.
ARCHER:[t]You got this?
RIN:[t] Heh. Totes.
ARCHER:[t) Cool. So, uh, have you seen the way that Saber looks at Shirou?
“Okay what the hell man!?” demanded Cu, Archer didn’t respond, while the others were once again weirded out by his behavior.
But some started thinking those being Irisviel, Medea, Tokiomi and even Issei. Especially about Taiga outburst.
RIN: [t) I have no idea what you’re talking about.
ARCHER: [t) Kh! You have to have seen it; she’s all over him!
“That would be very inappropriate! Such a relationship can’t exist between a master and their servant” Saber said sternly, if one was close enough they would see the slight coloring of her cheeks.
Sakura did not want their conversation to continue.
RIN: [t) Baeber wants *my* fine self. She just doesn’t know it yet.
“You go BI-QUEEN stake your claim!” Ayako encouraged angering Rin “Goddammit would you stop!”
ARCHER:[t) Nah, She’s into him, I see it. What do you think she likes about him?
“Are you really a Servant or a hormonal teenage girl” Shinji grumbly mumbled, he’s irritation wasn’t because of Archers behavior…
RIN: [t] Stockholm syndrome.
“Do you do this everyday?” remarked Issei seeing how unfazed Rin was at the dragon tooth monster.
ARCHER: [t) That’s pretty big. Do you need to concentrate?
RIN: [t)Nah.
ARCHER:[t) What would you like about Shirou – except the “rockin’ bod” thing?
“Is this seriously the time for that!” Waver complained he too having experience with a Servant doing their own thing regardless.
RIN: [t) What would I like about Shirou? His death.
“Cold…” shivered Shirou.
ARCHER: [t)..Cold.
‘Again!? What’s happening!?’ Annoyingly thought Shirou.
RIN: [muffled] Oh, eww! what smells like Mountain Dew on compost?
Most of the more emotional people in the theater had looks of disgust while Shirou, Sakura and Irisviel showed concern for the unmoving victims.
ARCHER: This is a love potion. It cannibalizes the life force of men. A servant has been using it to prey upon the people of the city.
“Like witchcraft? Or is that just magecraft?” asked Taiga getting out of her funk.
“No witchcraft is its own field, separate from Magecraft” answered Bazett.
RIN: Does it only go after men?
ARCHER: Basically, yes.
RIN: [m] Then we’re dealing with a Servant feminazi! The worst kind of Nazi.
“Sheesh what do we call a man who attacks only woman, malnazi?” muttered Ayako, but two individuals caught her words.
“A man” Medea and Medusa answered coldly, causing Ayako to jump slightly.
ARCHER: There is no “worst kind” of Nazi Rin. All Nazis are the Worst Nazis.
Risei had flashbacks of an incident in the third war that was fortunately prevented “Darnic…” oh how he hated that man.
RIN: Lancer’s missing, and Illya’s *crazy*, but Berserker doesn’t need to eat souls like this. Whatever Servant is doing this is something else.
ARCHER: It’s possible that the Grail summoned an anti-hero: Someone people consider a hero by serving as a cautionary tale.
Medea scowled at the projected Archer.
RIN: This reeks… of an Assassin Servant.
Kojirou Sasaki wanted to deny his involvement but knew it garner his “masters” fury if he did something so brazen.
ARCHER: Right. Or it could be a Caster. Probably a Caster.
Somehow she scowled even harder, while Rin raised her brow “Having visions again servant” Archer shrugged “Who knows…” his response only irritating his future master.
‘This servant seems like a good all rounder’ thought Kiritsugu with interest, long range destructive damage, foresight and no pride to hinder his methods to kill, to say he would’ve enjoyed having this kind of servant was an understatement. The only flaw he could see being as a hindrance is the servants attitude.
RIN: Then again -a Rider that’s affiliated with sickness or chemical warfare..
“It would be cool to summon something like one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.” Commented Waver, while Gilgamesh got a foreboding feeling for reasons he could not understand or form.
ARCHER: Or – hear me out – could be a Caster! But, Rin.. You’re focusing awful hard on new servants…when you have one problem standing right in front of you.
“Here we go again…” Issei rubbed the bridge of his nose, but his mind processed the odd way he sayed it, the mages words preventing him from going any further…but still.
RIN: Is blowing up a classroom not enough for you? I’m doing my best.
ARCHER: No offence Master, but you *knew* he’d be out of school. And lI’m pretty sure you knew Ayako wasn’t gonna stab someone for you!
“Well…unless they deserve it”
“Ayako!!?” cried Taiga.
RIN: She’s gonna… …get what’s coming to her, that’s what she’s gonna get…
ARCHER: Rin!
RIN: Fine! Tomorrow, I’m gonna find Captain Dorkenstein and blowa hole through his damn chest! Don’t you think I won’t step up, Archer. I’ll step Up. I’ll step up so hard, you’ll need a ladder to get on my level!
“Seems we’ll see if she’s more bite than bark big brother” Illya giggled, Shirou was a bit frightened at the prospect of fighting her.
“I’m sorry Emiya, at least you should know that” apologized Rin, “Already assuming your gonna win” Ayako laughed.
“Its not an assumption, it’s a fact” stated Tokiomi, Sakura held Shirou’s hand tightly.
ARCHER: Strong hands.
“What?” Rin was confused.
RIN: What?
ARCHER: That’s probably what Saber likes. Shirou’s got strong hands.
“Your still on that?!” Cu exclaimed, ‘They’re my hands’ thought Sakura as she glared(closer to a pout) at Archer.
“I doubt his hands are the reason!” said Saber, “Oh my, I thought your relationship was inappropriate what is this about he’s hands not being the *reason*” remarked Irisviel with a mischievous expression, the king of Britain was made speechless.
RIN: You’re weird. You’re weird about Shirou.
[Scene change]
SHIROU: Heading to school today!
SABER: Oh Great! I’|l get my shoes.
“I don’t see the point of that, why isn’t she simply going into spirit form?” said Sola-Ui whose remained quiet for most of this episode.
Kiritsugu and Irisviel were also caught offguard by her instance on remaining physical.
Saber wanted to answer but realized she would be revealing her unique circumstance which can be used as a possible weakness.
SHIROU: I don’t need a babysitter, Saber!
SABER: As your Servant, I demand you respect my authority as a Hero and give me permission to come to school, irregardless of whether you want me to or not!...Please.
Iskandor’s hmphed while Gilgamesh shook his head with a smile, Saber could easily tell, much to her ire, how this looks to the other rulers.
SHIROU: Nnnooo0?
“She’s a king! Does he really-“ Iskandor couldn’t finish.
SABER: Damn you. Damn you truly. You win this time.
“Just like that!? HA!” he laughed, Saber did her best to ignore him.
[Scene change]
SHIROU: What’s got you down, Issei?
“Hopefully something sensible” Issei sighed.
ISSEI: The PR fallout from that bomb going off is a nightmare! It’s a miracle any students even came back to school today.
“Ofcourse…”
SHIROU: Why is it your job to do PR Work for a… um…..terrorist attack, I guess?
Issei started to feel for his alternate self.
ISSEI: I maybe do too much for this school.
“Give the job to me if this is the norm” Ayako laughed.
SOUICHIROU: Issei. I have grave news.
Issei frowned upon seeing him, someone he almost considered a father figure buy now all he has is questions.
ISSEI: Come in, Mr. Yamashiro.
SOUICHIROU: Carnivorous ears pry at our words here, Issei. Let us talk in solitude.
“I hope it’s not some weird magic shenanigans you’re trying to drag him into” cried Taiga, Kuzuki grunted.
ISSEI: He probably just thought of something he considers funny. I’ll be right back, Shirou.
Issei blinked owlishly at hearing that, ‘Huh…how different are you?’
SHIROU: I wonder if Rin did something else. She’s an actual legitimate problem these days. It’s kinda like… (Gasp) IT’S LIKE SHE’S MY NEMESIS! Oh my God, Rin is like, “I’M THE HERO AND SHE’S MY FOIL”!
“Getting a little to excited at the prospect of me being a villain there Emiya” said Rin sending a death glare at Shirou who frightfully shook his head in denial.
ISSEI: Well… Now we have vampires.
“A Servant. Who is targeted civilians and why a school of all things!” Risei snarled ‘This is ridiculous! Kirei what are you doing that’s distracting you from this’ he thought they before he remembered his son’s companion.
SHIROU: *Come again*?
ISSEI: Apparently,Ayako was found on school grounds last night, drained of a *lot* of her blood.
“Wait? What! Me!?” said a shocked Ayako, her friends and teacher all becoming worried.
SHIROU: I-Is she OK?!
“Are you deaf!!?”
ISSEI: Apart from being anemic, I’m starting to think this is some kind of supernatural character assassination. Someone’s trying to make my term as Student Council President look bad.
Issei sighed “At least I’m dedicated” palming his face.
SHIROU: Um… I think there’s probably a better explanation for acts of terrorism and vampire attacks.
ISSEI: I’d certainly like to hear it.
SHIROU: Don’t worry, Issei. Justice is not without its allies. I’m sure some stalwart hero will emerge from the masses to hunt down whomever did these heinous crimes!
Irisviel snorted before being reduced to a fit of giggles ‘He’s so cute!’ a thought shared by Taiga.
“Save me my white knight!” Ayako dramatically called out, causing Shirou to blush even harder than he was.
ISSEI: It’s gonna be you isn’t it?
SHIROU: It Will most likely be me, yes.
[Scene Change]
SAKURA: Oh, you wanna know about where Ayako is.
“Sakura…” Kariya muttered
SHIROU: Yes, that is what I said just before you repeated it.
SAKURA: I haven’t heard from you in a couple of days, and you haven’t been answering my calls, but sure, let’s go ahead and talk about *other* girls.
“Bruh” uttered Cu, with some of the women and men having disapproving looks pointed at the Shirou on screen.
SHIROU: See, there’s a reason you’re always my go-to. You really cut to the heart of an ordeal.
Shirou cringed at his other self, “Guess other me really nailed it about him and women…” Said Ayako with a raised brow.
SAKURA: Sssuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrreeeee… I Guess the last time I saw Ayako was really early this morning. I came to school earlier than usual to see if you were here, but you weren’t…
Irisviel frowned ‘I wish I was alive to teach him how to treat a woman’
Shinji scowled ‘I would’ve preferred this guy instead of that bastard’ he thought ‘I see the way he looks at her’ he snarled thinking of how his Shirou wishes to steal Sakura from him.
I saw her and Rin arguing pretty passionately.
“Rin…” Aoi and Tokiomi were already dreading what they’re going to hear, an opinion shared by others.
SHIROU: What else did you see?
SAKURA: I didn’t stick around to see if hair got pulled or clothes got ripped, if that’s what you’re after…
Shirou, Rin, Sakura and Ayako all blushed.
“If that’s not an invitation…” chuckled Cu getting an irritated look from his master “Get your head out the gutter lancer”.
SHIROU: I meant, more like did it get violent..You know what? Yes, I guess that is what I meant. Just not at all in that context.
SAKURA: Sure you didn’t..
SHIROU: Everything always comes back to Rin. I hate to say it… but she might be taking this Holy Grail War too seriously.
“Did you just-“ Waver was cut off.
SAKURA: The Holy Grail War?
“You did!” Waver’s jaw dropped on the floor.
SHIROU: Huh?
SAKURA: You just said “Holy Grail War”. Right in front of me.
“Did he forget she in front of him…” Kariya dryly said.
SHIROU: D’l most certainly did not!
SAKURA: Please don’t tell me you
Instantly forgot I was in front of you..
“Damn that’s harsh. Even when I’m busy with my hobby I would never ignore or forget the people around me” said Uryuunosuke with a nod “Hobby he calls it” muttered Sola-Ui rather flatly.
SHIROU: Sakura!I would *never*.
“You just did” said Diarmuid with a frown.
PA: In light Of recent circumstances, All students should cast aside your Spontaneity and return home.
[Scene change]
“I hope Rin doesn’t rough him up to bad” worryingly said Aoi, Kariya agreed with her.
RIN: Shirou Emiya.
SHIROU: *Rin Tohsaka*,
RIN: I see you survived my 38 initial booby traps yesterday. You somehow managed to avoid my 30 Additional death traps which l planted this morning. Either you’re a cunning opponent, or there’s another Shirou in the school whose class schedule doesn’t match up to yours!
SHIROU: 68 total traps. You seriously have it out for me.
“If that isn’t the understatement of the century” muttered Ayako.
RIN: *Very*. Seriously. So seriously, I omitted one trap to avoid the total number of traps being less serious!
SHIROU: Rin, I’m gonna ask you this once: Did you hurt Ayako Mitsuzuri?
“I doubt she would hurt me-“
RIN: Hu-hu-hu-hu-hu. Hurt her? Hu-hu, those are hardly the words l’d choose. I *obliterated* her, Shirou. I left her in a state she’s *never* Going to come back from.
“I take that back! What the hell Rin!”
“Don’t look at me like that, I would never!”
SHIROU: So you did! You really are a villain after all!
RIN: If it means winning the murder-Death-Kill, Ill gladly take on the role of a villain.
Irisviel’s eyes widened while Illya frowned, the contrast all too clear to Kiritsugu.
SHIROU: You…! That… somehow reminds me of someone. I can’t place who. I feel like only those directly familiar with my history would know who, though.
Saber thought with a strained expression ‘I wonder is my experience going to be similar to my variant or possibly even worse’
RIN: Well, saying things like that just makes me feel excluded from the conversation.
SHIROU: Maybe not everyone has to have the conversation. Maybe it’s a conversation with those in the know. *Maybe* subjects are easier to talk about with nuance when you assume the participants’ familiarity with them!
RIN: Let’s get this over with… What I’m going to do to you is *much* worse than what I did to Ayako!
“Congrats lad she’s not going to make you anemic” laughed the son of Lu.
“What’s that?” Ayako asked seeing the glowing mark on Rin’s mark, “A family crest” Rin answered.
SHIROU: Your Family Crest.
“Annnnndddd???” Ayako drawled out.
“I think my other me or Rin will explain what they”
RIN: Yes. That’s right. By assuming we both know what a family Crest is, We’re saving time in this conversation that can be spent on other issues.
“…Or maybe not”
SHIROU: That is something correct you just said.
“No why would you two explain to each other what it is if you both already know” Aoi asked the both of them, causing Rin and Shirou some embarrassment.
RIN: But talk is cheap. I’ll give you one chance to let me willingly destroy your Command seals.
SHIROU: Not a chance! If you’re hurting people at this school I’m going to put a stop to you!
Tokiomi scoffed at hearing him, though he does still hold the boy in high regard due to he’s relations with his second daughter.
RIN: My, my, my… Aren’t you the people’s white knight. People don’t usually stand up to me like this. I’l have to tell Archer I managed to find something attractive about you.
Sakura glared at the onscreen Rin, “I swear!...” Archer muttered under his breath
SHIROU: Ooh, which, which part The—the white knight part, or the defiance or The—actually, no, wh-wh-whatever! Go ahead and cast whatever spell you want, Rin! You’re a Mage, but that also means you’ve probably neglected your body! Once I get up there, you’re toast.
‘True. But how will you even get past her magecraft fool’ thought Medea at hearing his plan to take Rin out.
All the mages of the modern era deadpanned, with the likes of Irisviel who just cringed and Kiritsugu who thought ‘I take full responsibility for this’ with a slight pained expression.
RIN: You think I’m weak because I’m a Mage?
SHIROU: Yeah!…Logically!
RIN: Oh, Shirou~ This is going to be all too easy.
“…Excuse me?” Medea was caught offguard ‘What does she-!’
Think fast!
SHIROU: AGH! UGAHGUH! I CLEARLY NEED TO BE BETTER EDUCATED ABOUT MAGES!
“Senpai!!”
“Go easy on him Rin!!” cried Kariya.
RIN: Whatever do You MEAN?!
SHIROU: JESUS! GYUH! AGH! GUH!
“Oh no!!!” Ayko screamed.
RIN: Look how weak I am, Shirou! I’m so out of shape, Shirou!
SHIROU: GAUHH!
RIN: Stop running!
SHIROU: Issei’s gonna have a heart attack when he sees the halls!
“That is the least of my worries!!!”
RIN: Now let me in, Shirou!
SHIROU: No way! You’ll kill me!
RIN: If you let me in, I’lIl let you touch my boobs~!
“Goddammit!” Rin exclaimed with a red face.
Tokiomi, Aoi and Kariya were aghast by her suggestion.
“Shirou I swear if you actually accept that harlots (“What did you just call me!?” Rin) persuasion, I’ll lose all my respects for you” said Issei
SHIROU: And then YOU’LL KILL ME!
“Good you have some sense!”
RIN: It’l be totes Worth it!
“No it won’t!!” a proclamation that surprisingly came from Sakura, surprising her sister, family and friends.
SHIROU: No! It will Not!
RIN: GAAUH!! All right, you asked for this! ONE HUNDRED PERCENT MAXIMUM--! You Know, you get the idea. I don’t half-do things.
“At this point we know enough about your character” Risei tiredly said.
SHIROU: It’s a respectable quality! Trace… on!
RIN: Prepare to die!
“No!!” Sakura, Taiga, Issei and Ayako all exclaimed.
SHIROU: Huh?
RIN: Hey! Are you dead? You have to tell me if you’re dead. Them’s Murder-Death-Kill rules. All right. Well, just to be sure…
SHIROU: ‘ I Might be outmatched here(!)’
“Something painfully obvious” said Waver
Through second door!
RIN: Ah-ha… So you weren’t dead. I was right to waste a gem worth*five times your house* to make sure.
“Would it be wise to acquire more gems knowing the poor position she’s in by that priest guardian of hers” chuckled Kayneth enjoying the show.
Still fighting? I wonder what you’ll do next. We both have such diverse skill-sets. I could cause Gandr to rain from every surface of this hallway. You have a pipe. *|* could form a gem shield that only a master Mage could crack. *You* can strengthen your pipe. *|* can reinforce my body using the very same magic you joke at being proficient with. *You* might pick up a second pipe! Or *maybe*, you’l throw a curveball and *throw* the pipe! Whip a melee weapon at me like the Dorkenstein that you are!
“Almost no different to fighting a civilian” Sola-Ui added, “I don’t know about that, the kid has a very athletic body and noteworthy instincts” Diarmuid defended.
“Sheesh, just when I thought this couldn’t get even more one sided” Ayako cringed “When I found out Shirou is Mage too I thought he could some cool magic attacks” she continued now seeing Shirou’s situation.
SHIROU: Mock me all you want, Rin. I won’t let you hurt anyone! I'm gonna save *everyone* in front of me…Including you!...From me! ..On account of me having a pipe for smashing you.
“Dumbass” Archer said plain and simple.
RIN: Oh, you wanna smash me. Is that what I’m hearing?
“Why is she saying it like that?” asked Taiga just a confused as the older people in the room, the younger generation turned red aside for Issei(and a blushing Sakura) who just scowled.
SHIROU: You know! What I. Mean… I’m gonna smack you! And it’s not a pipe! It’s a chair leg, technically! So there!
RIN: Howa Mage like *you* got into the Murder-Death-Kill is beyond me.
“As my son said stragglers and all” Risei sighed.
SHIROU: I may not be a good Mage...but l’d rather struggle with my own incompetence than become a monster like you and the other Mages in this War!
Rin wouldn’t admit it but Shirou’s words stung.
RIN: You’re right. We’re monsters. Did you forget me telling you that? A Master has to cast aside their humanity for the sake of something greater than themselves. We have to revoke everything and become killing machines, Setting our eyes unerringly on the enemy in front of us. If we lose focus even for a second—
VICTIM: AAAAAAH!
“Who was that!!?” exclaimed Taiga
SHIROU: What was that?
RIN: I Don’t know, but we’d better drop everything to check it out. Is that a student?
“You guys are are ment for each other” Irisviel chuckled with Aoi joining her
SHIROU: Was Ayako not enough for you, Rin?!
RIN: What? This is what happened to Ayako?!
“Wait she didn’t do it!” Rin sighed in relief, “Guess your not a vampire Rin” Ayako laughed “Well they’re actually called dead apostles” Waver informed.
“Wait Vampires are real too!”
SHIROU: *Don’t play dumb*; you said you hurt her! Used the word “obliterated” as I recall?
“An exaggeration it seems” Kirei spoke after a long silence.
RIN: Yeah! Her *feelings*, Shirou! She didn’t do what I asked and we had a fight! I got carried away and called her father a… -Well, it’s not your business what I called him –But it obliterated her feelings is the point! I didn’t suck her blood out!
“The heck did you say about my dad?!” Ayako questioned with an angry expression confusing all her friends with her outburst aside for Rin knowing why it was such a touchy subject for her.
SHIROU: Well..Can you save her!?
RIN: Oh suuure. I’Il just spend *another* small fortune saving somebody! Oh, my mistake. Did I say *small* fortune? Just meant fortune!
“Magic-magecraft that uses precious stones sounds really counter productive knowing the costs” said Issei truly befuddled by her magecraft works.
Tokiomi just sighed not disagreeing with him.
“What’s even more hilarious is that their gem magecraft wasn’t theirs originally!” Keyneth laughed “Stolen! Oh sorry borrowed from the much richer Edelfelt family!”
Causing the Tohsaka’s heads to snarl at him.
VICTIM: (Gasps, then coughs)
“Another battle?” eagerly asked Iskandor.
SHIROU:(Gasp) Huh? Hey, uh, Rin…When a.. Mage gets a tingly feeling like..Something in front of them is out of place, like the… *air* is wrong, what is that feeling? RIN: Like you get the indescribable feeling that something that shouldn’t exist is in front of you?
“In broad daylight?!” Kariya questioned “At a school!?” Taiga cried, “Who would be stupid enough to pull such a stunt?” asked Bazett.
SHIROU: Yeahh. RIN: Servant.
SHIROU: I Don’t suppose Archer is hiding in the woods, is he?
Everyone gasped either from the shock of watching Shirou get hurt or him protecting Rin in such a manner.
RIN: (Gasp)
‘Senpai is hurt again…’
SHIROU: GUHH!
‘Senpai could die in this war…’
RIN: Holy shit!
‘I don’t want senpai to get hurt…’
‘I’ll protect him’
SHIROU: WHOA-OH-ALRIGHT! Guess this isn’t an Archer’s!
Sakura snapped out of her funk at hearing his words, an expression of confusion and daze was seen.
RIN: Are you alright!?
“DOES HE LOOK ALRIGHT!!” shouted Issei.
SHIROU: Just peachy Rin! I’m gonna go be peachy over here now! AHHHHHHHHHHH! Ignore the pain, Shirou! Fight the Servant! Fighting the Servant is the smart thing to do!’
“Fight the-??! Is he suicidal!?” Waver was shocked.
“He MUST summon me at once!! Fighting a Servant head on is madness!” exclaimed Artoria
SHINJI: (Distant gleeful laughter)
“Shinji!” Ayako and Rin growled
SHIROU: Shinji?!
Sakura sent a hard look at Medusa, who grimaced knowing what she’s thinking ‘That’s not me’ she silently mouthed to her Master.
SHINJI: (Distant gleeful laughter)
‘I make an appearance now’ thought Rider not knowing how to feel about this.
SHIROU: HEY! YOU! You’re a Servant aren’t you!? She’s really fast! Who were the remaining servants again?
Caster, Assassin, Rider—D’AH! SPIKER! SHE’S SPIKER!
“Summon your Servant idiot!!” Rin exclaimed, Saber agreeing with her.
RIDER: a what’s wrong, little boy? Aren’t you going to summon your Servant?
SHIROU: Aren’t you going to summon your Master?
RIDER: I’m afraid my Master isn’t here right now.
“Shinji better hide like the coward he is!” Issei angrily said
SHINJI: (a] Yes I am, Rider!
RIDER: No. She’s *not*.
“Wait she? But how? The Matou’s…Sakura!!?” exclaimed Rin who sent a look at her former sister who was trying to make herself as small as possible, everyone who personally knew the girl were as shocked as Rin.
“Zouken is this your doing!?” Kariya growled.
SHIROU: Was that Shinji? Is your Master Shinji??
RIDER: [al] Are you referring to Shinji Matou? Heir to the withering Matou bloodline? Brother of the beautiful, sagacious Sakura Matou? Never heard of him.
Shinji scowled.
Sakura blushed at her servants description of her.
SHINJ: [a] How *DARE* You speak of me in this manner!
The blue headed boy’s thoughts matching perfectly.
SHIROU: Yeah, that’s definitely Shinji.
SHINJI: (a] I am probably not Shinji!
“These are the competitors who replaced us…” Sola-Ui deadpanned with her husband shaking his head beside her.
RIDER: Oh.
SHIROU: WHEW! That’s right! Keep that adrenaline comin’ baby!Power through the pain!
“Oh yeah you’re still injured!!” Taiga exclaimed in worry, Saber was just irritated “Why isn’t he making any attempts to summon me!?”
RIDER: I must compliment you, little boy. Most would’ve lost their grip after that sort of attack.
“Why am I speaking…so sensually” Rider muttered to herself
SHIROU: Don’t think your sensuous tones can distract me, battle-knightie! As long as I’ve got people behind me to protect, I won’t be caught off guard.
“And you jinxed it” Ayako groaned
RIDER: Caught? (Chuckle) Dear sweet little boy… The moment you set your eyes upon me…You were already trapped.
SHIROU: AAAHHHHH! That was still in my arm!?
Illya was conflicted while Irisviel, Maiya and Kiritsugu showed genuine worry.
RIDER: You remind me of someone. Are you a friend of Sakura Matou?
SHIROU: Wouldn’t you like to know!
RIDER: If you are the boy she described..You should know you had this coming.
“RIDER STOP HURTING HIM!” cried Sakura, accidentally activating her command seals causing the Servant in the theater to stiffen as a command seal was used on her.
Sakura realized what she did much to the others surprise and the amusement of a noble Lecturer, “Rider i-i-I didn’t mean to-“ “Its okay Sakura, just…a mistake” Medusa tried to reassure her mistress.
RIN: Hands off of him! I got dibs!
RIDER: Well… If you have dibs, I’ll make an exception.
‘Useless!’ Angrily thought Shinji
“Wait she left just like that?” said Uryuunosuke in clear disappointment.
RIN: I call dibs by the way. You’re mine! No pink haired bitch from the feudal era or ancient Greece or wherever that bimbo was from gets you. You’re property of Rin Tohsaka as of this moment.
“Already laying your claim huh Rin!” said Ayako to a blushing Rin. Sakura hid her scowl.
Oh wow, they really are strong.
“Damn Saber’s got competition!” Cu joked, “Enough of you!” Saber exclaimed with some embarrassment.
“My son is quite the ladies man” Irisviel smiled at the thought of grandkids “Wonder where he got it from” said Maiya both women looked at each other.
Kiritsugu shifted uncomfortably.
SHIROU: What??
RIN: Nothing. Archer thinks your hands are sexy or something. Do you have something I can bandage you up with?
SHIROU: He’s weird. Archer is weird about me.
Taiga now adorned a look of frustration ‘I know they said it’s impossible to summon a hero from the future but still…’
RIN: I would’ve ripped off a piece of my skirt to tie this up for you, but.. no. Not for you.
“Ouch” muttered the boy in question.
SHIROU: Why are you suddenly not trying to kill me?
RIN: Do I*look* like someone who wants some *bitch’s* sloppy seconds? It’s One Hundred Percent Maximum No Chill. Not thirty percent partial chill with floozy assistance.
SHIROU: I can’t tell if you’re sweet or factually insane.
“Me neither” nearly everyone uttered a line like this at the same time.
RIN: Good! That’s what I’m going for.
SHIROU: Eghh… We still have one thing to deal with.
RIN: Huh?
SHIROU: You blew up a classroom, tried to get a girl to stab me with magical poison knives, and, by your own admission, set up 66 other traps for me!
“…So a yandere”
“Goddammit Ayako!”
RIN: It actually was 69 total. I just didn’t want to admit that ‘cause we were having a cool standoff moment.
“How honest of her” said Waver unsurely
SHIROU: You need… *to stop*! One of these traps is going to hurt someone who’s *not me!
RIN: Um, good sir! Are you accusing me, *Rin Tohsaka*, of perhaps letting things get out of hand!? Shirou Emiya, you have cut me to the quick.
“Enough jokes!” Rin angrily said
SHIROU: I’m serious, Rin!
RIN: Haa… Alright, fine. You win. I’ll stop trying to kill you until we deal with the Servant problem at school. You Should come stay at my place tonight while I have Archer clean up all of the traps.
Sakura frowned from hearing that.
SHIROU: Did you put traps in my house?
Her frown turned into a glare
RIN: We’re gonna pass a Fuyuki Dairy Queen on the way back by the way. In advance, we’re not stopping there.
SHIROU: But I love the Fuyuki Dairy Queen!
“Wait really?” asked Issei “N-no” answered Shirou “I didn’t even know we had one”
RIN: Yes, Shirou. I know that.
SHINJI: [a] Can you guys leave already so I can sneak away?
“That damn boy” Tokiomi said with a sneer.
[Scene change]
ARCHER: Hey, Rin!
RIN: [a] Hi, Archer!
ARCHER:I see killing Shirou worked out!
Taiga frowned, while others adorned annoyed expressions
RIN: Welcome to Chateau Tohsaka! Pretty sweet digs, huh? They better be.
Losing it to the Church after the war’s over. Thanks, Kirei.
“I know this is a variant of you Kirei, so I can expect you place my daughter – my heir in such a ridiculous position” Tokiomi sternly said to the young priest “I promise you that I wont-“ Kirei was cut off by the mentioned heiress “To late for that father, the actions of the Kirei on screen are not that different from the one I had the displeasure of interacting with!” said Rin glaring at the younger Kotomine, Tokiomi’s eyes widened “You’re telling me…your poor finances and losing the house-!”, “Yes” was all she replied with.
Tokiomi at Kirei who only displayed subtle confusion in his near emotionless face, Risei on the other hand “Does the mean Tokiomi’s Servant..?”
SHIROU: I don’t remember who that is… Think I have short-term memory loss.
RIN: You’re living the dream I want to dream, Shirou.
“That I can agree with you” Rin grumbled.
SHIROU: I gotta confirm again… We… *are* Allies now?
RIN: Yes… We are allies now. And as a sign of good faith, I’ve got to admit that *maybe* I’ve overemphasized how evil all mages are.
Waver began to think ‘Yeah…even at the clock tower which is mostly filled with jerks has some good apples like Melvin’
I get really carried away when I have an idea in my head, and killing you made a lot of sense.
‘Psychopath’ was Issei’s only thought
SHIROU: Yeah. I get being single-minded. I’ve got this thing people say is stupid too.
RIN: Your hero dream? Well what do you mean when you say that anyway? Like… Superman?
“Something even more unrealistic” muttered Archer with disdain
SHIROU: Kinda. My Dad really wanted to be a hero, but got old and Something about marbles happened, so Someone named “Angry Matthew” made him realize he couldn’t, so I want to do It for him.
KKiritsugu’s inner guilt from hearing his words was cut short by the rest of his future adoptive son’s words “Angry Matthew??” he uttered.
Irisviel, Illyasviel and Sakura all experienced chills up their spines for reasons unknown to them.
RIN: That didn’t answer my question at all.
SHIROU: All right, ju—just hear me out to the end here. I want.. To save.. *Everyone* in front of me. Forever.
“Forever? How are you gonna have time to cook me-I mean hang with your friend and family” cried Taiga.
“I…would make…time I guess” jokingly said Shirou though for some reason when he’s other self said forever it sounded really ominous to him and him alone.
Archer scowled ‘I swear it won’t even take an unstable reactor to convince this one, all Alaya has to do is say you can save people to make him accept the contract’
RIN:…Was that the end?
“I admire your conviction but that is no way to live in the long run” Cu said with a look of displeasure
ARCHER: That was the end! His dream is stupid!
“Hey!”
“But am wrong boy”
SHIROU: Hey! Nobody gets to say my dream is stupid except me!
“You heard hi-me! It’s my dream not any of your business”
“I don’t care if it’s personal it’s still ridiculously foolish”
ARCHER: Your dream is stupid, Shirou!
“Shut up!!”
SHIROU: No it’s not!
“Can’t handle criticism huh boy!”
ARCHER: Yes it is!
“What do you know about heroism you barely even act like one!”
SHIROU: No it’s not!
“I know more than you can ever fathom about the stupidity of you foolish dream!”
ARCHER: Yes it is!
Both Archer and Shirou continued to argue with each, drawing the annoyed, surprised and incredulous looks from the others.
SHIROU: No it’s not!
ARCHER: Yes it is!
SHIROU: No, it’s not!
ARCHER: Yes it is!
“Would you two FAKERS shut up!!!” Gilgamesh said with a demanding tone “I’ve had even enough listening to the childish drabble between an annoying present and an even more annoying future!”
RIN:I can tell this is going to take a minute.
“What do you mean by that my king” asked Tokiomi confused by Gilgamesh’s description.
“If you mages didn’t put too much pride in your knowledge on how the mystics worked and actually your foolish minds to the obvious!” Gilgamesh continued “You would’ve all realized that they’re the same person!”
“I KNEW IT” Taiga exclaimed with joy
“Quiet down you unruly jaguar!” Gilgamesh angrily responded.
“Wait so when Ms Fujimura mentioned future…your Shirou from the future!!?” pointedly shrieked Ayako looking at a facepalming Archer in with disbelief in her eyes.
“But such a thing would be impossible, it would cause a paradox if that were true!” Said Rin “We are literally observing something that can answers it” plainly said the golden king, her eyes widened as she and every mage caught on to the possibility “He’s from a parallel universe! No! More like a possible future!” Aoi blurted out the answer all the mages concluded on.
SHIROU: No it’s not!
ARCHER: Yes, it is!
RIN: I’m gonna get us tea.
“There’s no way that bastard is me!”
“You’re right about that, I abandoned that foolish identity a long time ago” Archer responded rather harshly.
“Why…why do hate your younger self so much senpai” asked Sakura in shock of the revelation, “Don’t call me that I’m not your senpai “ coldly said the red bowman causing the young Matou to flinch.
SHIROU: No it’s not!
ARCHER: It is dumb!
“Hey! Don’t talk to Sakura like that!” Taiga angrily said “I don’t what you must have gone through to become the way you are now but it doesn’t mean you have to be jerk to Sakura and your past self!”
Archer scoffed
Tokiomi was still in disbelief “Even if he’s from a possible future it wouldn’t make it possible for the Grail to summon, it can’t call upon future heroic spirits!”
“Not unless you exist out of the rules of time itself” Archer plainly replied, Tokiomi quirked a brow “Outside time…” he heard a gasp, shifting his gaze he saw the homunculus woman cover her mouth in horror
“Don’t tell me…please.” Now Tokiomi was even more confused.
“Yes, I made signed a contract with the counter force”
Only those who understood the implications of his words, most of the people in the theater, were shocked to silence, only the likes of Shirou, Ayako, Issei, Kuzuki, and Uryuunosuke didn’t understand what he meant.
“Why…?” Sakura asked softly looking at the brink of crying Archer sighed “Because I wanted to save people”
The existing guilt of having the boy inherit his ideals grew larger in Kiritsugu seeing where it would lead him.
[Scene change]
Silence.
“So…you were never the devil”
“Lancer!”
“Sorry master!”
RIN: Now that I’ve sent Archer to get those traps, I think we may have more in common than I thought.
SHIROU: Like, what?
“That your both crazy! Accepting a contract from Alaya!?? Emiya what the heck were you thinking” Rin directed her words to Shirou who looked a clueless “What or who is Alaya and what does the bastard mean by counter force?!” Rin’s pupils became constricted in sheer disbelief.
“Oh this…this is sad” Keyneth said with look of genuine pit.
RIN: Like fortune, fame, high grades, a bangin’ booty, and being a once-in-a-lifetime Mage attuned to all five base elements!
Nobody was really paying attention to what was happening on screen.
SHIROU: I think those are all you.
“Alaya or the Counter force is a passive defence against threats that are recognized as a danger to humanity as a whole” Illya started explaining with an unreadable expression “the defence being what are called counter-guardians who are summoned by the counter to deal with threat. There have been instances recorded in which Alaya essentially recruits humans to become its counter-guardians to aid in defeating threats to humanity”
“That…doesn’t so bad-“ “The contract is permanent and offers little to no rest for those fully turned into its agents” Illya cut him off “I’ve come to know you want to be hero and this can easily sound good without a lot of information, but I’m going to say this once…the threats are mostly not going to be inhuman…you could deployed to kill and maim other human beings big brother…the threats don’t even have to be evil…”
Shirou’s eyes widened “But can’t I try to-“
“Try to what?” were Archer’s cold words “I assure what ever ideas in your head on how to change the outcome or process of saving humanity is just one of an innumerable attempts I’ve made that ALL failed”
RIN: Oh yeah. That element thing is *super* rare, by the way. Nah! What we’ve got in common is we’re both idiots.
SHIROU: Come again?
“If it’s really that bad I won’t accept its contract!” said Shirou with gritted teeth “No you will accept so long as you continue to hold onto your borrowed ideals!”
RIN: We’re not like… dumb, but we both clearly weren’t left well off by our dads. Mine was also the Master of the Archer Servant in the last Murder-Death-Kill..He died in it. Last thing he ever told me was that it was our family’s job to win. Otherwise I’d let him down.
“What the hell makes think that!?” Ayako found her voice
“All Alaya needs is an ultimatum…one if he doesn’t accept leads to the death of many people, one in which this fool will happily sacrifice himself to accept Alaya’s cursed offer because of his deranged dreams!” replied Archer with fury “Oh am I wrong Shirou Emiya”
“Even if I’m placed in such a situation…I’ll find another way to save everyone” said Shirou with a determined expression.
Archer cupped his face with his hands ‘I fucking hate this kid’
ARCHER: Aww, that’s why you’re in the war? I never knew that.
RIN: Quiet! Archer! You’re supposed to be out disarming traps! Get outta here! But yeah, we’re both pretty single-minded idiots with daddy-issues and bad reasons to fight in this thing.
SHIROU: There’s also the whole thing where I’m the sole
Survivor of a tragedy that killed a thousand people…Including my family.
“He’s life is filled so much tragedy...” muttered Iri
RIN: Oh.. Wel.. My Mom was crippled and I was raised by a priest.
“I’m not dead?” That broke Aoi out her distracted mind “She’s crippled!? Who harmed her!!?” Kariya raged.
SHIROU: Rin, we’re not competing.
RIN: It sure *sounds* like we’re competing!
SHIROU: Honestly, I never thought I’d be talking to you like this, Rin. I always kind of held you up on a pedestal as a popular girl.
Rin would’ve blushed at how he viewed her but was to engrossed on learn a possible fate that would befall him.
RIN: What changed?
SHIROU: You tried to kill mne. It’s hard to worry about looking uncool around someone who hires people to stab you.
RIN: Ha. Shirou Emiya.. Today you told me you’d stop me because you thought l’d hurt someone…You rejected an offer to touch my frankly legendary chest… Outran my Gandr attacks…And told me off at least three times.
SHIROU: What’s your point?
RIN: My point is: I once told Shinji its be funny if he punched himself in the face, and he did.
‘Dammit me!’
I told a girl off today, and made her cry.
Ayako scowled
I get out of buying lunch by unbuttoning one button of my shirt.
“EXCUSE ME! I WANT HIS NAME NOW!” proclaimed Taiga
And one time, I got so carried away at a marathon, I might have actually killed a guy.
SHIROU: Heard about that, actually.
RIN: You’re the only person who’s ever defied, denied, and outclassed me…And… I think i like it.
Issei suppressed the need to point out that even his alternate self didn’t seem inclined to tolerate her.
SHIROU: Oh… What a strange friendship we have!
RIN:I am filled with an overwhelming, intoxicating desire to *crush* you! And honestly, I think that’s the most positive emotion I’ve ever felt for someone.
SHIROU:I like you too, Rin. You’re a psycho, but, you’re an honest pscyho. I’m choosing to believe you’re well-meaning. So…Does this mean I can tell people at school we’re friends?
“I feel like that would do more harm than good on your self image at school” said Issei hating where their relationship is going.
RIN: No. That has not been earned.
ARCHER: Back, and got them all. Shirou still here?
RIN: Yep!
ARCHER: Your dream is stupid.
SHIROU: *Oh my God*! Did someone hurt you?!
ARCHER:*Marbles hurt me*!!
Kiritsugu flinched, but Irisviel comforted him by rubbing his right hand.
SHIROU: What does *that* mean?! Help me understand you!
“This was definitely a long one” Diarmuid sighed, “I’m actually quite hungry” Sola-Ui bemoaned
I can fix that
Everyone nearly jumped after not hearing from their kidnapper for so long, before anyone could say anything, at the back of the theater behind the beserkers long lines of food and drinks became available,the force holding them onto their seats disappeared.
“Hell yes!!” Cu immediately went to grab the beers, with most of the audience doing stretches, “Felt like was sitting there for nearly a year” said Ayako feeling the satisfying pops as she stretched her legs.
“I kind wish there was a kitchen too” said Shirou looking around expecting it to appear “Oookkaay no kitchen…” he frowned.
Sakura came over to him and handed him a pre-made sandwich which he took and taste tested it “Average…he’s torturing us”
“What are these cards?” Cu was heard from a distance holding a purple blank card with two more on the table he stood by. Rin got near the table and grabbed one as well followed by Medea hope motivating the witch into seeing what it is and if it can used to escape.
“I sense no magic” disappointedly said the princess, Rin scrunched up her face while examining them.
Suddenly light erupted from the cards blinding everyone in the room, but slowly it started to die down.
And that’s when everyone noted the extra additions as the light receded…
The first form was revealed “Old hag is that you!!?” Cu exclaimed in shock, “Repeat that for me I couldn’t quite catch what you said about” asked the “Old hag” killing intent filled the room causing many to choke in fear “I-i-I said my beautiful and youthful mentor how are you here to bless us with your radiance!!” Cu said while sweating bullets “Better, that’s what I thought” the “Old hag” smiled.
The second form was revealed “YOU” Rin pointed at the next form with clear disdain “Ohohoho! Clown my tea better be rea-Huh? Where am I?” said the newest addition noticing the unfamiliar space her eyes settling onto Rin “I don’t know what’s going on but I know it must the gorilla I see before me who’s responsible for this!”
“Gorilla!!? Oh I assure you! You blond bimbo that the last thing I would want is get you anywhere near me!” the girl in blue gasped “Such uncouth language! Hardly surprising from a mere savage”
“Why you!” Rin jumped her and they started wrestling each on the ground, Tokiomi rubbed the bridge of his nose at the shameful behavior.
Medea catching on as to what was happening ‘Don’t let it be HIM! ANYONE BUT HIM!’ The third form appeared and arrogant laughter filled the room causing both Medea and Heracles to freeze in recognition.
“Behold! You gaze upon the one and only Jas-“ “NOOOOOOOO!!!” Caster was on her knees as she screamed at the heavens.
End
