What's up, everyone! This is GKC here bringing you a new crossover project between Capcom's Okami and one of my favorite anime series, Fate/stay night.
The summary for the story is a teenager from our world is sent to the world of Nippon to assist Okami Amaterasu and Issun in combatting the dark forces of Orochi. Assisting the teen are the Heroic Spirits who will grant them their weapons and abilities to fight against the darkness. However, the teenager and Amaterasu are being pursued by another who uses the dark powers of Heroic Spirits corrupted by the Holy Grail.
Now for this, I'm having a poll for the first weapon that the teen will collect is a sword from the Saber Class. I will post up the selected Saber-class Heroic Spirits and you will vote. By then, once the second chapter has been posted, that will mark the end of voting. I will also take suggestions in the review box on your favorite Servant and count them as votes.
Now for the disclaimer: I do not own, except my OCs, Okami or Fate/stay night. All rights belong to their respective owners.
Now let's get this party started… BEGIN!
The Goddess's Hero
Prologue: Legend of Nagi, Shiranui, and the Foreigner
Long, long ago…
A tiny hamlet known as Kamiki lay nestled in a grove of proud and beautiful cherry blossoms.
Each and every tree around the quiet burg was honored as a god.
However, the village was not without its dark secrets.
To satiate the appetite of Orochi, a fearsome cave-dwelling beast, a young maiden was offered as a sacrifice at the annual festival.
With a body like a mountain and 8 heads mounted on necks the size of tree trunks, its blood-red eyes alone were said to curse anyone who gazed into them. No one dared disobey the horrific beast.
When the night of the sacrifice drew near… A mysterious white wolf and a foreigner with burning red eyes appeared outside the village.
This wolf, its coat as brilliant as snow, was dubbed Shiranui.
The wolf's companion, dubbed the Foreigner, seemed to have come from the Western lands dressed in black with eyes like rare gems and an elegant beautiful face. No one knew the Foreigner's gender only that they were considered sought after by many from their homeland.
The wolf and its companion kept a watchful eye on anyone who ventured outside the village, and made a habit of patrolling the streets at night.
People assumed the wolf to be a familiar of Orochi and the Foreigner as a demon in human skin.
One villager took it upon himself to face the fearsome Shiranui and the elusive Foreigner.
The warrior Nagi attempted many times to challenge the wolf and the genderless Foreigner. But his attempts were thwarted by Shiranui's swift movements and the Foreigner's skills with a blade.
Before long, the night of the accursed festival had arrived. A white plumed arrow heralded the coming sacrifice.
Piercing the sky, the arrow sunk its shaft squarely into the home of Nami, the village's most beautiful maiden.
Nagi, harboring a secret love for Nami, was enraged by this sign.
Determined to put an end to Orochi once and for all, Nagi traveled to the beast's cave in place of his beloved.
The Moon Cave, a place as dark as evil itself, served as Orochi's home. As Nagi stood bravely before the entrance… A beast appeared, eyes glowing crimson upon 8 thrashing necks. Orochi stood tall before him, anxious for another sacrifice.
Nagi leapt with incredible grace, swinging his blade valiantly. On and on he sliced, well into the moonless night… But Orochi's hide was like steel. The blade left nary a scratch.
At long last, Nagi, his energy spent from the intense battle, dropped to his knees, fatigued and gasping for breath. He knew he was staring death in the face.
It was then that the wolf and the foreigner appeared. As if to protect Nagi, they stood their ground before Orochi.
In the darkness of the cave, the wolf's coat shone brilliantly and in the foreigner's hands was a magnificent sword that shined with an untamed light. Alas, it was Shiranui and its companion, the wolf and the genderless warrior that dwelled outside the village.
Baring its fearsome claws, Shiranui leapt toward Orochi. Wielding their sword, the Foreigner charged with a mighty roar.
Orochi reared its terrifying heads, readying its fangs for battle.
The two beasts struggled wildly, thrashing in the darkness. The Foreigner's blade glowed fiercely, piercing away the darkness while cutting into the serpent's steel-like hide.
Mysterious and terrifying, the spectacle continued. Shiranui summoned gust of divine wind to counter Orochi's flames. The Foreigner fought against the serpent using speed unrivaled by that of the wolf, wielding a cursed spear that struck several blows to Orochi's body.
As Orochi closed in on Shiranui and the Foreigner, sharpened claws glistening… A gigantic tree suddenly sprouted forth, shielding the wolf. The genderless warrior summoned a bow and shot arrow after arrow at the eyes of Orochi, frustrating the beast but hurting it.
The two fought gallantly to gain the upper hand. However… Orochi, protected by a mystical power, was not easily bested.
Shiranui, covered in gashes, majestic coat dyed crimson, stood exhausted before the mighty Orochi. The Foreigner fought valiantly against Orochi, determined to protect their wolf companion only to fall victim to the jaws of the 8 headed beast, wounded gravely to the point of death.
Orochi saw a chance to strike what would be the final blow. But Shiranui refused to give in. With its last ounce of strength, the majestic wolf gazed heavenward and unleashed a mighty howl. Suddenly, the black clouds overhead dissipated. The light from above glinted off Nagi's sword as a beacon of hope.
Guided by his sword, Nagi, who had been taking shelter in the shadows, stood proudly to face his adversary. Channeling all his strength into his scarred and battered arms, he leapt ferociously toward Orochi, his sword poised high. The golden sword danced in his hands like a puppet on a string.
One by one, Orochi's fearsome heads separated from their owner. Orochi's broken body collapsed in a lake of its own blood. In that instant, the curse that plagued the villagers was lifted.
As the battle subsided, the sun shone once again in the sky. Shiranui had succumbed to Orochi's poison and struggled to breathe. The Foreigner's wounds were grievous, they could barely stand on their own two feet.
Nagi scooped the beast into his arms and returned to Kamiki, the Foreigner following behind. When they reached the village, Shiranui was no longer moving and the Foreigner had collapsed next to the white wolf. The village elder gently stroked the wolf's head while a young woman placed the Foreigner's head on her lap. In response, Shiranui let out a hoarse and pitiful bark… Then closed its eyes and drifted off as if into slumber, the genderless warrior passing away with a small grin. However, from the warrior's passing, thirteen glowing lights left the Foreigner's body and scattered all over the land, never to be seen again, however, one light stayed by the warrior's side, revealing itself to be the sword they wielded to combat Orochi.
Peace had at last returned to Kamiki Village. In honor of Shiranui's and the Foreigner's heroic exploits, the villagers erected a shrine and placed a statue of the wolf within it while the genderless warrior was buried by the shrine, the magnificent sword they wielded placed on a pedestal of stone near the Konohana tree, bounded by many seals to prevent malicious hands from taking the blade.
Nagi's sword was christened "Tsukuyomi" and placed inside the Moon Cave.
The villagers all looked forward to an age of endless peace… However, this is not the end of the story… There is more to this tale than most people know.
100 years had passed since Nagi, Shiranui, and the Foreigner's heroic exploits. It happened so quickly that no one in the village even took notice.
A/N: That's the end of the prologue. Sorry if it seems but I've been pretty busy as of late.
In any case, I just like to send a shout out to Doom Marine 54, who thinks he can try and intimidate me. Just give up, man. You can't beat me, eventually, somewhere in the future, you'll get bored of this. So save us all the trouble and just stop already, it's pathetic. I, myself, am going to grow bored of doing Fanfictions one day and it won't change a thing. If you're still insulting me, my family, and everything I do then that's just your own childish ego getting to you. Me on the otherhand? I'm actually going to be living my life unlike you so just grow up already, kid.
Please comment and review on this but no flames or harsh criticisms or I'll report you.
If you ignored the warning, well, I warned you.
Thank you all to my loyal supporters, you're all the reason I keep going.
Peace out, everyone~
