Prologue
He doesn't want to disappear or died. In first place he never want such thing happen to him
He doesn't know why, but the thought of dead or dying is very frightening for him. The level of his fear can be said quite abnormal actually, surpassing other that he has face so far
Perhaps in past, before he grow his own consciousness, he fear Death, and it was so great to the point it leave scar to his very Body and Core
Not like he remember it of course. As the Body -and digital one supposedly- he doesn't have anything inside him, he doesn't have Soul or Mind, he is simply a shell, literally
But after meeting Him... Meeting His Soul and Mind... He realize it wasn't death that was he afraid of. True death is terrifying and he found it to be unpleasant but he doesn't fear death
No... What he afraid is...
To Die and Leave Nothing Behind
To be Forgotten...
Just like the one he love...
She doesn't want to be forgotten... She want to leave something behind, something precious, something that beautiful and have meaning for the World, not only destruction and dead
He will die... Disappear and become nothing but a data for Moon Cell, not even single shred of his muscles or cell will remain after this.
"The days I spent with you... I loved them all. Even when you were just stored away in the ring and you wouldn't use a single Code Cast. To be with someone. To be close to someone. That was so wonderful..."
He risking very much by Sliding to another World -and not just that but also to the past and send the memory to another being as well- after all, unlike Archimedes who is Avatar of Umbral Stars, he is Human by standard
"Even when I was on Earth before, I didn't feel that way. Back when I swung my sword as Attila, or when I ruled as the Great King, there was nobody eccentric enough to stand by me.
"But you, you were different. Even with everything that happened you came to my side. You stood by me all the way here
"And if we'd lost, I know you would have stayed with me even then."
And Human never supposed to pass another World and Timeline...
"Honestly, I was a coward. More so than anyone else.
"I was afraid as a Hero. I wouldn't know what to do if you hated my coldness. Not a day went by when I didn't worry about it.
"And I was afraid as a titan. I thought you'd hate the cavern, the cage, my cooking, my... Giant body. I thought I would burst into tears the moment I let my guard down. I didn't want you to hate me... And I didn't want to see the day we'd have to say goodbye."
But it's okay... It's okay for him to be disappear like that... To went face the thing he feared the most...
"And the scariest thing was that I knew one day... I would wake from this dream."
Because by doing this he will be able to create new branches of World, the firmest and the strongest as matter of fact, and ending Quantum Timelock thus preventing Archimedes from goes back to past and try his scheme again
And thus able to saving Altera from meeting her Destiny
"Even if this body of mine crumbles, and even if this dream of mine disappears before ever coming true... I will always give thanks to you, my Master." She spoke with beautiful smile that befitting for a Goddess, tears spilled from her eyes, mixture of sadness and joy "Thank you... Goodbye, Master. I wish you a great journey." She finished
He response that beautiful smile with his own, he doesn't have much to say, his body already started to disperse after all, he can't even feel his lower part anymore
"Yes. Thank you Altera." He replied sincerely "Well, then...time to finish saving you."
And with that, his vision turned to white, his body become light, his very existence... Disappear into a mere data
But before that happened... Before that occurred... One memory... One last memory flashed to his brain once again, memory of the woman with white hair with ruby eyes that smiling like a Goddess to him
"After all, what better dream could there be than love at first sight?"
Yes... After all... What better than that?
This... Is worthy... He is satisfied... Knowing the woman that he love... Will have her Happy Ending
He won't die as nothing nor he will be forgotten... He will leave something behind, leave something in this World that precious and will be treasured by anyone
Just like Her wish
He felt weak, so weak. He never felt this weak before. Not even after exhaust himself when supporting Altera using her Noble Phantasm and also using Code Cast to fight off King of Heroes
For almost like a forever he did nothing but keep silent and allow his body to rest, but no matter how long or how he try to relax his body keep hurt and tight. It almost like he was constricted by a snake in all place, every muscles he tried to move were in pain and his joint ache just with smallest movement
It was after unknown amount of time that he finally realize something that important
'How can I still conscious and feel pain?'
The moment his body turned to digital data and deleted by Moon Cell, he should be disappear, gone without any trace, he knew that and yet... Here he is now, aware of what going on and what he went through
Blearily he open his eyes, but just by doing that is enough to cause him discomfort and pain. Still, he no stranger to pain so he pushed forward, forcing his body to move and his eyes to open no matter how much it hurt him
And when he finally succeed, he found himself standing in land of
And in instant he found himself standing in space that filled with nothing but white
He blinked, once, twice, thrice. Then he started to tilt his head to different directions, and as far his eyes see, only endless stream of white that greeted him
"Where... Am... I?" He muttered
He slowly look down and see his own body. He blinked again, once, twice then slowly, tentatively, he started to pat himself
He... He have body...
He have body!
Granted he is supposed to be the Body of Hakuno Kishinami in first place but that is not the point! He not supposed to have body anymore, he was deconstructed and destroyed after all due to Sliding through another World and moving forward the Quantum Timelock from it original point!
"How could this..."
The situation is so absurd, and while it's true this is like a blessing but it still confuse him and he's curious to know how this can happen
It was then he feel presence not far from him, he turn around and just in time to see particles of white light gather together, briefly he recognize them as the same particles when Servant make appearance and-
His breath froze in his lung
She was there... From the light that gathering together she come out. Beautiful beyond words like a Goddess, tan skin that smooth and healthy without any flaw, red eyes that shine like a stars themselves, and the white veil outfit she wore that show symbol of Purity
The woman in white eyes that look dazed and unfocused for a moment gain their light, she blinked once, twice before her eyes fell to him
She blinked once, and her eyes widened slightly after that
"Master...?" She called aloud
He feel his heart beating like a drum, his lips feel dry, his breath resumed "Alte...ra...?"
The woman breath hitched, then before he can do anything she become blur and tackling him in hug
"Omphf!" He grunted out
"Master!" She cried as she bury her face into his chest, joy was clear in her voice
Hakuno didn't do anything, he was too enraptured by just what happened, his sense was overloaded, from the woman scent, from her warm embrace and her melodic voice
It was when the woman embrace tightened that he finally broke out from his daze, looking down, he saw the face of the woman that he love, his brown eyes meet with her beautiful red's
"It's you... It's..." Altera rasped out, her hand rose and caressing Hakuno's cheek "It's really you... Master..."
"Altera..." He murmured the name again, feeling his cheeks become wet and joy blossoming from his chest "It's me." He admitted, smiling through the tears "It's me, I'm here."
"Master..." Altera called out the tittle once again "This... This is..."
The man did not offer anymore words and embrace the woman in hug, eliciting small gasp from her but only for a second as she return the hug eagerly
It was only few seconds in reality, but for them it almost like eternity as they felt each other presence, basking in each other warmth and embrace and comforting themselves
"Is this... Is this another dream...?" Altera whispered under her Master hug "But... But I... I..."
"It feels real?" Hakuno suggested
"... Yes."
When she come out as Attila, everything was like a dream. Dazed and bleary but... But now... It feels so real... It's... The warm she felt from her Master, the sensation of his skin and touch... They...
The woman in white slowly pull back her head to see her Master face, tears still fall from her eyes "But how...? How..."
"I... I don't know..." Hakuno replied with uncertainty. Then he reluctantly -very reluctantly- slip out his arms from Altera -much to her disappointment- and begin to look around "I don't know and as matter of fact..."
Altera follow his suit and begin to look around as well
White space that seems endless and vast is what greeted them. No matter how far their eyes bring them, they never see anything but white space
"Where are we?" Hakuno asked
The Great King of Destruction narrowed her eyes, then she started to expand her sense, trying to find out what's going on around them or anything that can give clue about their location
Her breath stilled for a second as she found their surrounding presence is familiar for some reason
"Are we in Moon Cell?" She murmured
"Moon Cell?" Hakuno blinked "We are in Moon Cell?"
"... No, no we not but..." Altera frowned slightly and she begin to focus more "But our surrounding... The Mana around us it... It's... Strange. It feels like in Moon Cell, in the core to be precise and..." She paused and her frown turn to confused and stupefy expression
"Altera?" Hakuno called when noticing the woman expression that change
"I... I can't feel the mainframe..." She murmured
"Your main body you mean?"
"Yes I can't... No, no I can feel her but..." Altera frown returned and she look frustrated "But it's strange, I can feel we are connected like usual but..."
Hakuno also frowned at the uncertain answer and his Servant confusion, he begin to look around once more but again, he greeted only by white space
"Just exactly what happen?" He asked aloud
"Well... Allow me to answer that question."
Another voice join them, familiar one as matter of fact and it make them freeze for a second
The beautiful woman in white face that confused moment ago turned to stolid like a stone in flash, she wordlessly spun around, sword with colorful blade come out from her hand
"You!" She hissed
The newcomer is a man that look older than Hakuno, having unkempt and spiky brown hair and tan skin, he clad in white and black coat with few neon orange colored belts wrapped around his waist, there giant chain hooked to one of them
"Hello, Altera, and Hakuno Kishinami." He greeted with warm smile
That smile gone though in instant as his eyes widened and he quickly raise his hands, magical barrier followed by two giant screws appear from his limbs and just in time blocking a strike from colorful sword that one second away from slice him into two
"Archimedes!" Altera spat the name with rage
"Wait!" He shouted "Wait! This is-"
The woman in veil did not even give the Greek Scholar to speak further as her hands blurred, three strikes in less than one second. The first strike destroy the magical barrier that formed as if it never there and the second swing slice the screws that used as shield into two
And fortunately for the Great Scholar it seems he knew that defending is useless as just when the second strike about to destroy his equipment he already jumped out and abandon them, dodging the third strike that intended to put him down for good
"Wait! Altera! Listen to me!" Archimedes spoke hastily two hands raised as sign of surrender
"I will listen to you after I send you to oblivion." Altera replied coldly as she prepare to charge to him once again and-
"I'm not Him!" Archimedes shouted
The woman in white and her Master blinked, once, then Altera eyes narrowed slightly "What are you talking about?"
"I'm not the Archimedes you know." Archimedes said with firm voice "Let's put down our weapon first and talk, I will explain everything."
"... You think I will fall to that?" Altera raise her sword again, murder was clear in her eyes
Archimedes face show grim expression after hearing the declaration, clearly know that the woman won't listen to him anymore, his mind quickly trying to find the best way to convince her and-
A hand fell to Altera's shoulder, making the woman in white paused "Master?"
"Let's hear him first." Hakuno said
"Master, you can't possibly-"
"I know Altera, I, myself also don't like it but..." Hakuno shift his gaze to Archimedes who remain calm despite the tension "I have feeling that he's not lying." He stated "Even if we kill him now it will do nothing good, we still don't know where are we now and he is our only source of information."
Archimedes smiled slightly at that, his arms lowered and he give approval look to him "Wise and smart reason, you maybe not genius but at least you know what are you doing. I'm not surprised the other Archimedes lose against you, even if you doesn't have your experience. As expected from the Winner of Holy Grail War."
Altera stared at Hakuno for few seconds, then her gaze shifted to Archimedes. Slowly and reluctantly she lower her sword, her face though still show hostile intention "Five minutes. You have five minutes to explain everything."
"... Technically five minutes won't be enough but I will give the big summary." Archimedes said with sigh "You two know what Servant truly are right?"
"Ancient and Modern Heroes who have been replicated by Moon Cell from Throne of Heroes." Hakuno answered
"That's right but it is not exactly correct." Archimedes replied "We, Servant are being that replicated from Heroic Spirit. Heroic Spirit is actually Spirit that reach Throne of Heroes, Servant can be said a fragment of them. For example, if Cú Chulainn summoned as Caster he won't be able to use his spear, Gáe Bolg." He explained, his gaze shifted to Altera "Except for Altera here, she is unique case giving her status.
"And as you can see, the Archimedes that you encounter is Caster, however he is not the original Heroic Spirit, he is Servant that gain freedom after contracting Umbral Star and become unique existence."
Hakuno mind comprehending what he just heard for few seconds and he come to conclusion "So... You're another Archimedes?"
Archimedes smiled, his eyes shine with approval at the man response "You caught that fast. Correct, I am Archimedes, but I'm not the one you know, I'm new copy you can say, one that just produced."
"... Then why you weren't there?" Hakuno asked "I mean, when your other self went wild and goes to Velber's side. Why Moon Cell not just summon another you to help us?" Imagine how useful it will be if they have Archimedes on their side facing another one, things will be more easy and simple
"Because of Regalia." Archimedes answered "In order for the one who hold Regalia able to use it, Moon Cell have to go into complete Sleep Mode, shutting out all foreign bodies."
"I... See..." Hakuno rub his chin in understanding
"There hole in your explanation" Altera said sharply "You said Moon Cell in Sleep Mode due to Regalia, if that is true then how you can be here now?" She asked suspiciously
That's right, seeing the original Hakuno must be still using Regalia and rule over the Moon, so how can be another Archimedes summoned?
The Scholar smiled in amusement "That was true, the Moon Cell still in Sleep Mode, so it can't summon another "Archimedes". However Moon Cell is not the one who summon me."
'Moon Cell not the one who summon him?' Hakuno questioning inwardly "Then who?"
"That would be me."
Another voice enter the conversation, this one is heavy and thick with accent.
Altera and Hakuno tilt their head to where the voice come from. The white space shatter like a glass as group of people come out there
The first one that came out is old man with spiky grey hair and a beard, wearing a black robe that covered a black tuxedo. The British looking gentlemen's look was completed with a gold cane that looked more like a troublesome assessor than actually useful. His eyes though, not like gentlemen as they were a deep crimson like blood, eyes that look inhumane
The second person is beautiful woman with blonde hair that reach bottom of her necks, wearing a white thick sweater and dark purple long skirt. Like the elder man before, her eyes also deep crimson like blood
The third person...
"King of Heroes?" Altera called in surprise
It was none other than the Mankind Oldest Hero, King who own every treasure in the World, Gilgamesh
"Hmm, what with that look Altera?" Gilgamesh asked with haughty smirk "You look surprised. Ha! You shouldn't, I'm King who can be anywhere after all!" He declared
The King of Heroes clad in his golden majestic armor, his crimson eyes gleaming with amusement as he stare at the dumbfounded Altera and Hakuno
"And mongrel, I see you look fine." He said while glancing at Hakuno "Hmph, despite just having your body shredded apart you look calm and not bothered. You're strange as always, mongrel." He commented, despite the insulting words but there no heat in his voice
Hakuno didn't know how to response to that so he simply silent and tilt his head
"Hello! Hakuno-kun! It's been a while!" The blonde haired girl said while waving her hand
'Who is this girl?' Hakuno thought, is it someone he meet in past? "Who are you?"
"Eh?" The woman cheerful face deflated "You don't remember me?" She sound disappointed while asking that
"You are..." Altera eyes widened as she recognize just who exactly that woman is
"You know her Altera?" Hakuno asked
"She is the True Ancestor, Arcueid Brunestud." Altera answered "The Elemental of Earth. A being that can be considered as nature force."
Hakuno blinked again, then slowly he turned to Arcueid. How in name of Moon Cell does True Ancestor can know him?
"You face me in Holy Grail War." Arcueid said as if knowing what she thinking
Wait what? "You were my opponent in Holy Grail War?" He asked in shock
A True Ancestor! He face True Ancestor with Saber in past?! And not just that he still come out as victor after facing her?! Holy shit! How the hell he come out as winner again?! Moreover how the hell Moon Cell summon her of all people as Servant?!
"I was Berserker at that time, not quite conscious actually." Arcueid said in rather sheepish voice "But still, how can you forget me? You give me quite beating back then you know." She complained with pout
Ah... So she got summoned into Berserker class... Well, that... Actually not impossible to happen. Granted it will put restrain to Moon Cell but it still in realm of possibility.
"You're interesting fellow you know?" The old man that come with two powerful being finally spoke "Beating Arcueid-chan here, got into argument with King of Heroes, then you go and also beat White Titan, a being that slaughter Gods and majority of Earth." He shake his head with wide grin "What an interesting life you have."
Well... Well... If he put it that way... Granted he didn't remember getting into argument with Gilgamesh and beating Arcueid but the last one...
"It's not me, it's Altera who beat Sephyr." Hakuno replied
"She need your Mana and support to beat her. Even if you not trading blows directly but that still something." The old man brushed the modest response easily "Ah, I'm still not introducing myself aren't I? My name is Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, nice to finally meet you Hakuno Kishinami."
Hakuno stare at the old man for a moment, there something about him that make he wary of this elder man for unknown reason "It's nice to meet you too."
"You're vampire." Altera said, eyes locked to Zelretch "Like Arcueid Brunestud but not exactly same like her."
"Correct Altera." Zelrecth chuckled
"What do you all want?" Altera asked, she glanced to Gilgamesh, Arcueid, Zelretch and Archimedes "What is actually going on?"
"Allow me to explain." Archimedes volunteered "You see, I'm not summoned by Moon Cell rather I summoned by him." He gestured to Zelretch who grinning like children given toy
"How could it be?" Hakuno asked in slight befuddlement "The Mana that needed to summon Servant is not small by any mean so..."
"My Master here possessing unique Magic that called Kaleidoscope. Basically like it name, it allow him to travel between parallel Worlds and also drawing Mana from the portal he opened, so summoned me is not hard feat actually." Archimedes explained
"I just goes to one of Holy Grail War and use it to summon Archimedes here." Zelretch laughed "Haa, really, seeing that brat Makiri flabbergasted and angry really bring amusement, especially when I burn his entire Worm Crest."
Hakuno stare at the old man with look of awe and shock. Travel between parallel Worlds? Such thing is exist?! Granted Moon Cell itself is already shocking enough but still...
"After I got summoned by my Master who come from parallel World, he decide to bring me to this one after he watching your accomplishment, he contact Brunestud-san and King of Heroes here and ask for their help to revive you two."
"Revive us...?" Altera stare at the vampire with new light
"Does such thing even possible?" Hakuno asked in shock
"Reviving Altera is more easy actually since she made from data, similar like Moon Cell." Archimedes answered "With the right information, we can easily pieces her back together." He said before he smiled brightly "I must say studying Moon Cell is really interesting, never in my life I see such complex and yet also beautiful calculation. Truly it is lifetime experience!" The Scholar exclaimed joyfully, his eyes seems sparkle with genuine emotion that similar like a child waiting for santa to come
"Back to topic Archimedes." Zelretch coughed
"Ah, right, sorry for that, I simply can't hide my joy." He chuckled "Anyway, like I said, while it's hard to save Altera but with my intellect it's not impossible, not to mention there treasures and precious Mystic Code that King of Heroes providing here." He gestured to Gilgamesh who observing without any words
"King of Heroes..." Altera stare at the King with slight surprise
"What? You still look so surprised. Didn't I says that I will save you one time? My father owe you debt after all, and I never goes back on my words." Gilgamesh declared "I'm simply doing this to returning the favor."
"While that was true." Archimedes give asking look to Gilgamesh here while interjecting and the blond King nodded, allowing him to continue "However you Hakuno is another thing." He said while gazing at Hakuno "Because you're only Body without Soul or Mind, thus your existence is unstable and only can be temporary. Not to mention at that time your body also already in process to be destroyed."
That was true, even he knew that he is not stable existence since he doesn't have Mind and Soul, he is Walking Corpse, an accident and coincidence. Without Mind and Soul, he can't be replicated since his Origin is not exist
There is still Rule after all
"That is where King of Heroes come in actually." Archimedes chuckled
"What?" Hakuno blinked
"Simple, I broke that rule." Gilgamesh declared in nonchalant voice "I take you away from Moon Cell before it able to delete you. These two buffoon." He gestured to Zelretch and Arcueid "Also assisting me in doing that."
The Winner of Holy Grail gaped openly at the King of Heroes declaration. Breaking the Rule? Just like that? "W-Was that even possible?!" He stammered out
"Fool! Don't you learn anything mongrel? There is nothing impossible for me! I am the Rule!" Gilgamesh declared in boasting voice
"Rule Breaker." Zelretch snickered under his breath
"Although, it did cost forty percents of my treasure." Gilgamesh rub his chin in thoughtful manner "And would be more had these two." He gesture his head to Arcueid and Zelretch again "Not helping me, but alas even without their help it still not impossible for me. Nothing is impossible for me!" And giving what he just done, the statement is not baseless or empty, he did after all just accomplishing something that impossible
Hakuno didn't know what to say actually, it was beyond shocking the King of Heroes decide to help him just like that. Still, he have to said it "Thank you King of Heroes."
"Hmph, save your words, I did it because you provide me with enough amusement." Gilgamesh brushed the heartful words of gratitude with snort
"It's not end in there actually." Archimedes come in again "Even if you're saved but your body still that, unstable, however you not need to worry about that anymore, my Master here already provide assistance for that problem." He assured "Your body is stable once more, dare I says, even better than the original."
"What did you do to him?" Altera asked, there slight edge in her voice
"Nothing harmful I assure you." Zelretch answered with big grin "Don't worry, your Master is as healthy as you know when you Nurse him."
Hakuno face colored in instant when he remember that particular event. Altera in Nurse Outfit and when doing "Check up" on him, yeah, that was clearly will never be forgotten
How the hell this old man know?! That was private time damn it!
Altera meanwhile seems not bothered, her eyes bore to Zelretch with intensity
"There some alteration that necessary." Zelretch said "But I assure you, nothing big change."
"And what are that alteration?" Altera questioned
"That will be surprise." The vampire answered with big grin "Anyway, boy, why don't you check on your girlfriend back?"
"G-G-Girlfriend?" Altera stuttered slightly, her face flushed, so do Hakuno
'Well... She did confess to me after all so...' Hakuno stare at Altera who blushing cutely as he remember her words before she gone
"Hey, hey, save that act for later, do as I say now." Zelretch said while snapping his finger
Hakuno did, he look at Altera's back and his eyes widened when he caught what in there
"What's in there Master?" Altera asked
"Umbral Star Symbol." He murmured, making the tan skinned girl eyes widened in shock as well
"We manage to seal that titan form of yours." Zelretch said "Right now you must be noticing that you can sense your real body but at same time you can't. Well, it because we merge your two consciousness, Attila the Hun and Altera the White Titan." He explained "In a sense, you actually no longer Servant but embodiment of your real form, however your power majorly is sealed. Granted you still can unleash it and become Sephyr but well, the process will be complicated and take some time."
"But doesn't that mean she still connected to Umbral Star?" Hakuno asked, voice carrying hint of worry
"We already cut the connection link between Umbral Star and Altera." Archimedes reassured "It's not easy, but it not impossible. So Altera now truly free from Umbral Star influence, she no longer transmitting or receiving signal from it."
Altera and Hakuno look at the group with mixture of shock and surprise. Then tears slowly start to merge out from the former eyes as reality sunk to her mind
She is free
She is free
No longer she will be Titan that destroy anything on her sight and seeking to devour anything
She finally free
"Thank you..." Altera whispered out "I never thought I will say this to you." She gazed at Archimedes "But thank you for doing that."
Archimedes smiled back to the woman in veil "I just did what I ordered to."
"... And also sorry for almost killing you moment ago." She added, sounded quite sheepish and embarrassed
Archimedes let out laugh "I can't blame you completely on that, technically it is another "me" that ruin your life after all."
Hakuno look at Archimedes, his mind started to produce many question. To thing the cold and dark Archimedes that he knew is able to laugh and smile like this is...
"Do you know how the Archimedes we know become like that?" He asked
"Are we really that different?" Archimedes asked back with amusement "Well, perhaps since I can be quite person when I dedicated. As for that question." He sighed before putting complicated face "We don't know the details but my guess is, my other self must be trying to study Velber by himself to learn more about it so he can help the Sovereign who have Regalia. I am always curious person after all."
"And when doing that Umbral Star started to corrupt him." Altera muttered darkly
"Highly possible." Archimedes said gravely
What an ironic thing... He doing that for the sake of the World, the sake of Moon Cell and everything but instead he become Avatar of Umbral Star itself and seek to destroy anything that he wish to save and protect in first place
"Curious is good, but sometime there things that better left unknown." Zelretch commented
"Perhaps the threat of Umbral Star is too big and so he decide to take a risk." Archimedes said with slight bitter voice "If I in his position, maybe I would do same thing."
He can't blame his counterpart entirely. He never seen Umbral Star personally or aware of it existence but in his opinion after reading about Umbral Star and what it capable of then... It is really something that can't be faced without taking risk
"Anyway, enough gloomy talk!" Zelretch said aloud "Now since you two already resurrected! We enter the main course; Why I help you two?"
Altera and Hakuno stiffened. They knew this moment is coming since the beginning. There is no way that they helped them without any compensation after all, not after seeing how big the effort that needed to
"What do you want from us?" Hakuno asked
"Eh, nothing big, just entertain me." Zelretch answered plainly
"Entertain you?" Altera asked, sounding confused
"Yup. I will send you to new World." Zelretch responded "This new World is actually a bit different from your original, for example there's no Moon Cell in there, and the Age of Gods keep continuing."
"The Age of... Gods?" Altera muttered with surprise
"Yes, exactly what I said. In there Gods still pretty much exist. Albeit they did not contact Mankind as much as they original but they still exist." Zelretch chuckled
Altera didn't know what to say about that. She was pretty much slayer of Gods and has killed many of them in past as White Titan. The idea of meeting them again is a bit bothering for her
"And what your purpose sending us there?" Hakuno asked
"Didn't I said it already? Entertain me." Zelretch answered "I will send you there and allow you do whatever you wish, I don't care if you just sitting in home and make Titan children, do whatever you want, the freedom is yours."
Hakuno sputtered at the "Titan children" comment, face become red once again, briefly he noted his Servant face also colored slightly
"That seems not making any sense." Hakuno said after regain his composure "What entertainment you will get just from watching us if we live like that?"
"No, it actually make sense." Altera is the one who answered her Master question "If the Age of Gods still exist and continue, then sooner or later we will caught their attention." Her red eyes narrowed and meeting the vampire's "That was what you want right? You want us in middle of Chaos or something like that, Wizard of Kaleidoscope."
Gilgamesh who stood on his side snorted aloud "Hmph, those two caught your plot fast Kaleidoscope."
"You also want the same thing King of Heroes." Altera said sharply
"Of course I am." Gilgamesh admitted "A Walking Apocalypse and Slayer of Gods living among them? I want to see their faces when they realize what exactly are you."
"..."
Altera and Hakuno only silent at that comment as they don't know how to reply that one. Indeed, how the Gods will react when knowing Altera's True Nature? Granted these Gods never know the entity that called White Titan but it still something that tug their curiosity
"Enough chit-chat." Zelretch said "I want to see it begin soon! Let's get to the point! Archimedes!"
"Yes."
The Scholar of Greek pull out something from his sleeve and toss it to Hakuno who caught it. The Master blinked before he look down what in his hand
"Regalia?" He exclaimed with wide eyes
"Close, but not the real one." Archimedes said "It's more like Hacking Tool than Regalia. It's almost like how Altera's system work but less powerful, it act like computer that allow you to store and take information much like Moon Cell." He explained "You need to connect it to one of Server so it can work though, however do aware that the moment you did that then your existence pretty much will be known to that World's most supernatural creature, albeit they still can't track you down."
"There also few your Mystic Code in there." Zelretch added "Can't send you with empty hand right? At least I give you back things that you own." He said withg rin "And yes, your body can be stored in there and you able to assist Altera just like when you fight on her side."
Hakuno stare at the Regalia in his palm for few seconds before he shoot grateful look to the vampire "Thank you."
"Eh, your welcome." Zelretch chuckled "It's nothing much, though I doubt you will say that after you know what shit you going to went through."
"It doesn't matter." Hakuno said firmly, making the vampire blinked "Even if you going to put me through countless obstacles and misfortune, it doesn't change the fact you return me to Altera and saving my life. I'm only temporary existence, an accident, however I have no greater wish other than staying on her side and you just grant me that." His face broke into smile "Regardless what I will face in future, I will always be grateful to you, Zelretch-san."
"Master..." Altera murmured, touched by the word and her declaration of staying with her, even after went through death and have his body shredded apart
The Kaleidoscope blinked, once, twice, then Arcueid on his side let out laugh
"Wow, it's been a while since I see you taken back like that Jii-san." Arcueid said in amused voice "Hakuno-kun, you really have unique personality eh?"
"Ha! I admit he got me back then." Zelretch chuckled while rubbing his nose "Now I see how he get your attention King of Heroes."
"Hmph, of course, do you expect any less of me you blood-sucker?" Gilgamesh sneered at him "Mongrel he is, but he is different one, even losing his Mind and Soul he still entertaining than other monkey."
Was that compliment or insult? Hakuno doesn't know but there's no harm in expressing gratitude even if it the latter seeing this man has done quite much for him "Thank you."
"Hmph." Gilgamesh offer no more words other than grunt
"Well, I will send you two to go to your new home." Zelretch said with chuckle "Make sure you make your life entertaining as much as you can, I'm looking forward to it."
Before Hakuno can reply to that comment the vampire raise his cane and point it at them, then multi-colored light engulf his whole vision
The last thing he see before everything become bright is Arcueid smiling face and wave of hand, Gilgamesh arrogant smirk, Archimedes approving smile, and Zelretch wide and annoying grin, followed by Altera calling his name
Well... I admit this one quite long actually despite only Prologue. Dare I says, this is the longest Prologue I ever write,
Anyway, how do you all do?! A new story is come out! This is heavily inspire from Fate Extella - the Umbral Star, a game that it English version just released on steam recently. And you know what? The moment I play it I fell in love with this game! And moreover to Altera! Gaaah! She is so adorable, cute and beautiful! Her Character pretty much pique my interest!
To those who doesn't know and understand, there explanation below in Altera's status and if you want to know more details you can PM me personally or open wikia and search for Saber Mars Fate Extella in Google
Originally this story is supposed to have Altera and Hakuno reincarnated to D×D World similar like "Representation of Humanity" in a way instead transported like this. However I don't think it will be good idea at all, I mean, I already done that one so I try to use other concept
Hopefully you all love this story. I know not much of you fan of Fate Extra and prefer Fate Stay/Night and trust me, I also like that but hey. It actually not bad story and concept, and while waiting for Heaven's Feel Movie I decide to write about Fate Extra, though it more focused to Extella
And those who curious about Hakuno Alteration. Let me ask you, since when Zelretch give something that Normal? I'm pretty sure few of you know what he give to him, but I will not spoil it now, let just see it in next chapter
In another news and unrelated topic, Normal Life? Yeah, Right newest chapter already reach 40% and soon will be updated. Following it is Creator among Supernatural that already 20% done
Well, I guess this is it for now, I hope you love this chapter! Next one we will find out where Hakuno and Altera transported to and how they will start their new life! Stay tune and keep reading if you curious about it! And don't forget to give this story Favorite, Follow, and Review

Riding (A)
*Same as Heroic Attila the Hunt in Fate Grand Order*
Territory Creation (EX)
This only available when Altera wearing Regalia and sync with her Master, Hakuno Kishinami. The Regalia -after connected to "data" of the World- allow Altera to control her Anti Cell to a degree that similar like when she was on her Ship, allowing her to alter her surrounding pretty similar like Hanging Garden of Babylon that belong to Semiramis, however it purpose is not a weapon, rather is a place for living and defense.
Item Construction (C)
This only available when Altera in her "Ship" or Territory. The Anti Cell in there is capable to be manipulated by Altera into anything. Simply to put, she can create foods, drinks, cloths, armor. However by any mean she can create magical objects or weapons thus it only ranked C
#Personal Skills#
Magic Energy Absorption (EX)
This is what make Altera's Mana EX. It is an exclusive skill of Attilaight Cell. The body of the Titan, composed of spiritron collectors, will unconditionally absorb "magical energy processed into techniques" and covert it into her own. To put it simply, Altera capable to covert anything that near her and Armor values. Techniques equate to skills, knowledge, and civilization. To an Anti Cell, there is no better form of nourishment. As long as the World or Mana still exist, Altera will never run out of Mana, and giving DxD World is in the Age of Gods, good luck trying to drain her dry
Natural Body (D)
Altera can temporarily rank up her Strength. Furthermore no matter how many calories she ingest, her body shape will not change
#Noble Phantasm#
Teardrop Photon Ray : Star of Tears, War God's Sword
Type : Anti-Army/Anti-Fortress/Anti-Country. Rank : A+++
Sword that originally belong to the Concept of "War", Altera claim it as her trophy after she defeat the "War" that would be God of War in future, be it Mars or Ares. The Sword is also prototype of Divine Construct
Originally the Sword power is one rank below, however it increased due to DxD World's influence where Mana is still fresh in air, resulting the attack become more potent, concentrated and widespread, potentially capable to destroy country or island if Altera wish to
Even without unleashing it True Name the Sword still capable to destroy part of city and shear dimension only by a single swing without much problem, a sword that can be described as embodiment of "Destruction"
Cell of Umbral Stars - Insatiable Organism
Type : Anti-World. Rank : A+++
Umbral Star, in a sense, is Star that consuming anything by producing Anti-Cells, these Cells constructed of "data" that collected from Altera surrounding. These Cell actually what remain of "data" that absorbed by Altera, their nature changed drastically into something that similar like her. It can be said that these Cell are "Destruction" in form of liquid or energy
White Titan - Sephyr, the Destroyer of the World
Type : Anti-World/Anti-Divine. Rank : EX
The True Form of Altera or Velber 02, Alien Titan from the Stars that living by leeching anything near her. Anything, any materials that doesn't have living soul can easily altered into Mana and absorbed by Her. In past Sephyr has destroyed 80% of the World, including Gods and any creature that tried to stand in her way. The moment Altera enter this form there big chance she will loss control and become what she originally was, Titan that Devour Anything, Slayer of Gods, Being that can be called Concept of "Destruction"
Any form of attack will only grant more power to Altera. The large firepower of greater magecraft and strategic weapons of science and technology will fuel the fire further. On the other hand, while pure magical energy - what can be called life-force itself - will also be mostly absorbed, it can still exert its regular effect. Facing against an Anti Cell, it comes down to simply "bludgeoning" it. Although this is a troublesome skill that can absorb even physical attacks boosted with Mana Burst, one thing can deal an effective blow.
But please do remember the longer she exist the more she become stronger because she consume the World more and more, strengthen and boosting herself further and every time she growth twice her original size her power increase by tenfold
