Probably because I read too much ZnT fanfic than this thing come out like a flood so I had to get it out . Well it's my first published fanfic in here. Probably have one or more cringe material and bad grammar so read on your discretion. Please leave review or comment, hopefully constructive if you decide to read it! Story starts below
The sky was dark but it was also a starry sky. Glimmering shining stars lighting in midst of the night sky. However it was not a quiet night. Accompanied with it was the sound of battlefield. Sound of screams, monstrous roars, gunshot and explosion here and there.
"Isn't this a beautiful night? And those sound, it is a symphony on my ear. I'll say it is a good match up. Don't you agree with me, Saber?" I said as I glared to the person who I am talking with.
She just look at me with pained expression and not gave me any reply. As I looked on her, I also aware about the beautiful sword impaled on my chest. Her sword, the holy sword Excalibur stuck on my chest. It did restrict my movement. Not to say I am lacking some limbs too.
"You not going to say anything? This is boring, come on!" I said comically.
"Why it has to be this way? I know you're better than this. If I know losing her made you end up like this, I would not hesitate to..." Saber did not finish the sentence as I cut in.
"You know? I like you Saber. I would not able to forgive myself if you were the replacement. I less likely to end up like this but with that guy, it is a different story all together. Would not you agree with that, Archer?" I smirked to the skin tanned tall guy wearing crimson robe coming close towards me. He just stared at me, no words coming from him.
"Well that was in the past. I would cut and kill you both, given the chance. Hell, I would even enjoyed it with full of joy in my heart!" I laugh maniacally as I finished that sentence.
Saber looked away but Archer expression turned grim.
"Ah, don't be sentimental. I accepted billions worth of curses on me. I take it all. All the World's Evil in me. I enjoyed every second of it. I wanted revenge, I wanted power, I wanted destruction and that thing gives me all of it."
I could see Saber fist shook hard as she turn to her back and walked away. Archer in other hand, just keep looking at me with sorrow on his eyes.
"Saber sees you as a close friend. You really helped with the impression as your eagerness to pair us up. A close friend that she did not have many to start with." Archer told me
"Well I am glad finally you shed your idiotic stubbornness. You always look good together and I love it to from the bottom of my heart." I smirked at him
"Honestly, it hard to tell the difference even with All the World's Evil in you. You hardly seem changed at all." Archer said
"Oh don't get me wrong here pal. I won't hesitate to kill both of you if not because of my current situation. Although, I still love you two that in fact, I would frame both your head together so you can be together even after death. Even any of you sacrificed yourself so other could survive, that would be my mission to kill the other half as quickly as possible so you both would not be separated any more!" as I laughed.
"I'd say that was too much info there but I do not doubt even a second that you would do it though." he scoffed on that.
"Well Archer, you know this won't hold me forever. I could even recover from this and go on back continue my work, so finish up quick will you?" I remind him the current situation.
"Yeah I know..." he weakly smiled
"Rejoice, as finally you could be a real hero after you slain the abomination, reincarnations of All the World's Evil. This is my final gift for you, as the one who used to be your friend and fulfilling his final wish" I said
He come closer to me with his iconic black and white short sword on his hand and he knelled on my right side.
"I regard you as the one of truly best friend I ever had. Honestly it pains me to admit that most of the time, your advice do make sense. Funny thing too, sometime your are like a second father to me. Not to mention at some point you eerily gave me vibe of my old man too. I really wish I did not have to kill you." he told me with a sad tone.
"Heh, finally you told me that directly on my face. I am flattered, if I had to say something about it. Although that still won't change my mind about killing you and the rest. Too bad you cannot get all the things you wish for, deal with it!" I told him, sarcastically.
"I am sorry. I am sorry for everything." he said that as he raised his black sword high.
I smiled and closed my eyes as I muttered lowly.
"I knew I could count on you if I fall off the grace, partner. Thank you, Archer...no, Emiya Shirou."
I felt a sharp pain but it was quick. I know my head already severed from the body. Finally, I can leave the chain of living and joining the ranks of the deceased for better or worse.
Darkness.
That the only surrounding I saw as I opened my eyes.
Well it was not a total darkness. I could see reddish veins pulsing around in low dim but other than that I could not see that well. Since I cannot see anything at all so it was not any different than being in darkness.
I could smell blood and other foul things around me. Accompanied with sounds of agony and wailing. Not much difference with I was under the All the World's Evil. For a hell, this was sure far more docile than I expected.
"Yo, buddy."
I heard the voice, different from what I heard before. I was not alarmed at all and I lazily try to figure out where the voice came from but I quickly gave up.
"Yo, who's there?" I asked
"Aww, I am sad. You already forgotten me?" the voice replied
Oh, I remember now. That voice was very familiar with me. In fact I know him REALLY well.
"Yah, yah my bad. Still quite fuzzy here. So you actually here? In person? My, my, this is REALLY interesting." I replied to the voice.
"Yep, me and the only one, none others. So you get used of here already?" the voice asked
"Well, I had better but I could live with this. So do you know what place is this?"
"Yep, I do. In fact it is pretty damn funny where we ended up."
"Oh, oh do tell me please. I can't stand this anticipation!" I said sarcastically
"Ok, wait for it..." the voice replied
"Oh come on, spit it out already!"
"This is the Throne of Heroes. Our OWN place in the bloody fucking Throne of Heroes." he told me
"You don't say...pfftt"
"It is! Pfft"
We both laughed maniacally. I cannot stop laughing. My side hurts really bad from the laughter. I even rolled on the ground laughing, literally. It took awhile for me and the other person to stop laughing. I cannot even stood up since I kind of spend all my energy, laughing!
"Man, even this is a bad joke, they do know to make a joke eh?" I said
"I know right?! Such a sense of humour they have!" the voice replied
"But they do have really low standard, taking us as one in the Throne of Heroes. Are they desperate or something?"
"Beats me but seem All the World's Evil is part of us now." he told me
"Really?"
"Yep, really. For real. Srs bns."
"Well that explains it all now" I said as I let out a long sigh.
That was not the real reason I let out that sigh. Since I am somehow magically out of nowhere being ascended to the Throne so I would never met 'her' again but it was a slim chance to start with anyway.
"I know, it's a shame, yeah?" the voice said
Well, of course he would know what was bothering me.
"Yeah, it is but I guess that was the part of the penance probably." I lamented
"Ah, stop being a sour puss! At least your DEAD now." the voice told me
"Well that is true i guess. We can't get everything we want anyway."
"Well said!" he praised me.
My servant...this vast universe
"Huh, did you hear that?" I ask when I heard someone else's voice in the background
...beautiful, wise and powerful...heed my call
"What voice? Oh, wait! I did hear someone else's. A summoning?" the voice replied
"Man, if that person was summoning us. We are nowhere as close as beautiful! They were in for a treat of their life!" I cannot help to laugh out loud listening to the incantation.
"Well, we do get summoned from time to time but..." the voice said with muse.
"Something wrong?" I asked him
"No but this is doesn't feel like a normal summoning. It seem taking the whole package..." the voice said with hint of uncertainty behind it
"What do you even mean by that?" I asked
...add to my guidance and appear!
"I guess we have to see about that. Buckle up! Adventures awaits on other side!" the voice told me with anticipation.
"Uh, what?"
As I said that, I felt myself being sucked away. I saw that I was sucked by a green portal that suddenly opened on the middle of the place. I was thrown into spiral of void and nothingness.
Somewhere in other place, a crowd in a lush, green field and people shouting.
"It's Zero turn!"
"She will fail anyway!"
"Probably another explosion!"
"Zero, don't waste your time~ Go HOME!"
The petite, pink haired girl fumed from the crowd that ridiculed her but she keep her concentration. She need to summon a familiar. She need to succeed in this ritual. She need to prove that she is not a Zero.
She chanted the spell for the summoning and as expected from the masses, an explosion happened. The smoke from the explosion obscured the view on the summoning circle.
"Did she fail again?"
"As expected from Zero."
The smoke was thick and the girl who performing the spell cannot see if she successfully summon something, anything. The crowd already start laughing at her incompetence.
Suddenly from the smoke, a slight of black mist leaked through it. She gets close to see what was that and suddenly an arm like figure, covered in black, thick mist grabbing her throat and lift the petite girl up.
"Oho, what we got here? So are you the one who summoned me? A brat? Seriously!" the deep rough voice coming from the smoke.
That girl could not reply on the 'thing'. As she was grabbed by 'it', she was bombarded with unspeakable horror and malicious intent that would make any normal person screamed out of their brain. However, this girl is not an ordinary one. She would not scream as her rule, the Rule of Steel embedded deep inside her. Although she was suffocating, not from the grasp of the 'thing' but rather from the flow of the darkness. She really felt that she was dying.
The crowd start to panic when they see the girl who they called Zero was attacked. They hastily move further away from the girl. The smoke cleared, revealing a humanoid shape covered with black mist with shining red eyes. The 'thing' still holding tight on it's summoner.
"Ah, sweet! All of this are the sacrifice for my summoning? How thoughtful of you!" the vile and monstrous humanoid like creature spoke
At that moment, the crowd scampered and screamed in fear.
"Did she just summoned a demon?!"
"Oh founder. I don't wanna die yet."
"Ahhhhhh, fresh meat! Scamper! Tremble! Cry! Feed me with your fear, agony and suffering! No matter where you go, it won't make a difference because I shall feast on all of you! HA HA HA HA" the 'thing' said.
But a person did not move. A baldy wearing glasses pointing his wand on the 'thing'.
"Release Ms. Valliere at once. If you do not comply then I have to hurt you!" the guy said
"Hooo, aren't you a brave one? Really admirable." the 'thing' said
"But how you going to attack with your hand in that state?" 'It' was standing beside the guy on his left.
He did not even realize when 'It' moved there and when he look at his hand holding the wand, it was limping, hanging from his elbow. He screamed as the pain from his broken arm finally reaches his brain. The girl already passed out as she felt her brain turned into jelly. 'It' throw her to the screaming baldy guy as he continued to terrorize the place
"Okay, boys and girls! How about we play hide and seek! Hide well as you are hiding with your life in the line!" the 'thing' said with a devilish laughter.
Several people, seem older than the rest of the crowd earlier flying toward the 'thing' in attempt to stop it.
"Hoo, company eh. I guess time for some action...Huh, what?! NO! YOU SON OF A BITCH! I WON'T LET YOU RUIN MY FUN! KAAARGGGHHHHH!"
'It' was screaming, sounded like in agony as 'It' dropped on its knee. Those people who come for backup surrounding it, cautiously. The 'thing' kept howling as it smashed the head on the ground repeatedly. The mist subsides and it revealed a man, with full tattoo all over his body and face. He was breathing heavily and groaning in pain.
"Please seal or even kill me. I am dangerous and believe me you don't want me to be around..." he told the people who surrounding him
That was his last word before he was out cold.
Hoo boy, Louise summoned All the World's Evil to Halkeginia. This definitely cannot be good...
A/N: If you reading this, hopefully it was not a disaster. Maybe most of you notice that my knowledge on ZnT is shit but the setting is unbearable fun to play with. Also the guy was an OC from AU fate/Nasuverse story that I kinda currently working on. The connection to that story? It might be a divergence or it might be a part of it, nothing concrete yet though. This is just random muse that drives me crazy that I had to let out so even this story continuity is not certain. Although please let me know what you think by leaving comment and review, hopefully, gently~
