CHAPTER START~!
Naruto and Yukiko bowed while doing a mock prayer gesture to Mashu, "We're so sorry~! We didn't mean to lock you out!" They cried out.
Mashu pouted. "It's alright, I don't hold it against you."
"We'll make it up to you, I promise." Naruto said.
"Master… and Master's friend." Arthur said walking towards them, "Might I ask you something?" He said with Alter Saber walking in glaring at her male counterpart as she stood behind him. "Chaldea is an organization that protects humanity, correct?"
"Yeah, what about it?" Naruto asked.
"I see, and I believe that woman I met was a Servant?" He said with a nod. "A Servant without a Master…"
"Wait, you don't mean Atalanta, Oda, Souji, or the others?"
"No, she was a buxom woman…" The blonde male said with a heavy blush as if the word made him dirty. "With a large metal gauntlet and wand. I thought she was a magus, but her energy seems more of a Caster."
Naruto looked confused as he tilted his head. "Who would that be?"
"Oh that is Leonardo Da Vinci." Mashu said, "I was wondering if Vinci-san was okay when Leff betray us. Caster usually is stuck in the workshop making new equipment and items for us… and sometimes forget to eat." The lavender haired girl stated.
"Da Vinci…" Naruto muttered, before his eyes bulged out in surprise. "Wait, what?! The Leonardo Da Vinci, who painted the Mona Lisa?!"
"HOLY CRAP! I LOVE HIM~!" Yukiko said, "I always wanted to ask so many questions!" She then stopped when everyone was looking at her strangely. "Ehehehe… too loud?" She laughed sheepishly.
"Well… yes I meet Da Vinci, but he isn't-" Arthur started until Alter Saber suddenly side punched him, causing him to keel over and catch his breath. "Ow… what was that for?" He coughed, as the three teens missed this as if it never happened!
"Mashu! Please take us there!" Yukiko begged as she was shaking the poor Demi-servant female.
"Uwhawhawhawhawhawhawhawha, senpai~ help me~!" Mashu cried out as she had swirls in her eyes.
"Okay." Naruto chuckled he pulled the two away from one another. "Mashu can you take us? I have some questions for Da Vinci… including if he knew Lupin…" He said to himself with a small smile.
"Hai…" Mashu said as she tried to walk forward but was stumbling from side-to-side.
"Whoa easy, I got you." Naruto said, holding her shoulders.
"T-Thank you…" She said with a blush on her face as the girl moved away. "Follow me…"
LINE BREAK
"Da Vinci! I wish to speak to you!" Mashu knocked on the door, with the two masters shaking when the loudest thumping sound was heard.
"Wow, he still retains her strength…" Yukiko said absentmindedly. "Kinda scary…"
After a few moments, the door opened to reveal what Arthur had described: A buxom woman with a large metal gauntlet and wand. She rubbed her eyes as she yawned, "Yes Mashu-chan? I just woke up, is it about your body again?" The woman asked stretching her body. Naruto noticed her dress was something from Italy judging the color and way it showed. It was red and blue dress with puffy shoulders, blue arm sleeves. A red skirt attached to the dress and blue leggings on her nice thick thighs. Her arm, the one with the metal attachment, was black with green gems imbedded in the fingers. Holding a red staff with a large crystal in it, with golden eagles decorated. She had the most fair milky complexion, and long straight black hair that was comb forward to accent her face.
"Umm, excuse me miss. Is Leonardo Da Vinci in? Bearded man with European features, possibly super smart?" Yukiko said trying look past the woman.
"Huh? Oh, that would be me," The woman said.
"...eh?" Yukiko blinked.
"Ah." Naruto said simply, as Mashu laughed awkwardly. "So… were you always a woman?"
"No~, I used my Caster powers to give me Mona Lisa's exquisite body. I am perfectly a woman~!" She said with a cute wink.
…
…
…
"Okay, uhh… wow… so you… why?" Naruto finally broke down and asked.
"I love the Mona Lisa and… wait who are you two?" She said pointed her long metal fingers at Naruto and his friend.
"Oh I'm Yukiko Ritsuka and this my friend Naruto Kotomine. We're Masters." The red haired girl explains as the famous inventor nodded.
"Oh the new guys." She said softly nodding. "Sorry I wasn't around, but someone had to keep Chaldea from falling down."
Naruto tilted his head, "What does that mean?"
The person inside Mona Lisa smiled mysteriously, "I'm basically attached to this place. Unlike the Servants, that I assume, you have summoned. I was summoned without one."
This news bought the two master eyes wide and big. "Wait a masterless servant? How's that possible?" Ritsuka asked her friend.
"Dad's report on the last grail war said that one servant was able to stay here due to a steady mana supply and theorized that other servants besides Archers or Casters could stay as well." Naruto explained as Da Vinci nodded.
"Indeed, although even without Chaldea I could make a machine to produce mana. But I was summoned to make sure the summoning system was good. As our Holy Grail War, could be unstable." The famous inventor stated. "Thus I stay around to watch this as I deem it worthy of being fun to unfold.."
"Oh… I guess that explains it." Yukiko said hitting her palm with a fist. "So then… another question… can you… modify other people's bodies like you do?"
"Well, depends, not sure on another person. But it would be a fun theory to work on…" The face of Mona Lisa nodded as she looked up. "Ah Romani."
The two teens turn to see the doctor entering the room, with Olga and Caren in tow.
"Oh, so you've already introduced each other." Romani said. "Well that make things easier."
"Director, glad to see you're better." Da Vinci bowed to show her respect. "What brings you here?"
"The good doctor," Olga shifted her eyes to glare at Romani. "Failed to mention that he just got through the first Singularity coordinates."
"Ehehehe, you all look so happy. I figure maybe a day would be fine?" He said only for the younger girl to pull his ear. "Itai! Olga let go~!"
However she didn't as she spoke to her two allies, "So we're going to rayshift."
"We?" Naruto stated, "You're coming?"
Tossing her hair to the side, the director nodded, "Of course. As the leader, I will help oversee the mission." She however gave a looked towards Caren. "She...will possible join us in the future."
"Huh?" The two childhood friends turn to see Caren, and closer inspection it turns out she look slightly winded. Romani smiled as he turns to her, patting her shoulder.
"She is going through the Master and Rayshifting tests. Seems that she is just as a natural like you too." He smiled as the woman rolled her eyes, but the nun looked daze for a moment.
This cause Naruto to move closer to his lover, "You okay, Caren?" Naruto asked, holding her for support.
"Yes… I'm sorry… I guess I'm more tired than I thought I should be." She smiled as the woman looked at Yukiko. "Yuki-san, are you sure you can go into something dangerous?" She asked the girl who laugh sheepishly.
"Well, maybe. I mean you never know until you try, right?"
"That's… not reassuring…" Caren frowned.
"Oh c'mon, have faith in me!" Yukiko pouted.
Naruto patted her hair, chuckling, "While she lacks in skills, Yukiko's enthusiasm and optimism are welcomed." The male watched as the girl just pouted before looking at the leader. "So I guess the rest of the summoning will be after or during this mission?"
"Yes. So please, make sure your preparations are complete. We leave in an hour." Olga said before turning around to leave.
Caren watched as the doctor and Olga left as she spoke, "So what is this Rayshifting? They haven't told me much until the tests are done."
"Oh right. Well basically we're transporting over to a point in human history where it needs to be fixed." Naruto said.
"But it's just your soul? Just given a 'body' or something like that when you enter that frame of place?" The topaz eyed girl question as Yukiko nodded.
"But the damage does reflect on the body. So it means-"
"We die if something goes wrong." Naruto stated, remembering that Olga was going to die without her body in the real world and deduced something could happen if it was the other way. "Only three tubes are free at the moment, thanks to the funding. We might make five more if we can get other candidate masters on board."
"Shouldn't we find more candidates now?" Yukiko asked.
"Later. After correcting this first Singularity we could start looking." Naruto said. "Now c'mon, we gotta get in our Mystic Codes."
LINE BREAK
An hour later, preparations were complete and Naruto and Yukiko were in their Mystic Codes.
"Unfortunately," Romani started as he had a clipboard with some papers that he started to read. "You have to use the Chaldea Standard Uniform, the battle ready ones need more time to make."
"Mystic… Codes?" Yukiko tilted her head confused.
"Basically, magic clothing." The doctor simplified. "Your clothes can heal, enhance attacks, and even turn your body into mist for a few moments."
"Oh okay!" Yukiko said, but pouted a bit, "Though it feels a bit tight."
"Hahaha, well we had too. It suppose to keep warmth as possible, I heard the battle uniform are skin tight." He smiled, but noticed Naruto's priest clothing was odd, "I suppose that these robes are Mystic Codes as well?"
"Sort of. Call it a memorabilia, if you will." Naruto smiled a bit.
"Huh, well it seems rather good." The man did a quick scan of it, "Reinforcement without any casting, summoning and creating Black Keys from the right material, and lastly odd I can't seem to read the last effect."
"That's… a bit of a secret." Naruto laughed sheepishly. "Best not to know for now."
"Huh… well, I suppose I can leave it alone for now." Dr. Romani shrugged. "Alright, I already have the coordinates of the First Singularity set up, so you should be able to get there safely."
"So is it another fiery Fuyuki?" Ritsuka said with a slight pale look. "I rather not see...a lot of people I saw on the streets in stone or bloody messes."
"No, no, this is actually in 1431 France, during the Hundred Years War." Dr. Romani said.
"The Hundred Years War…" Naruto muttered. "That would mean…"
"Hm? What is it Naruto?" Yukiko asked.
"N-Nothing, so what's the objective?" The blonde stuttered.
"Well there's a Holy Grail War over there that needs to be stopped." Dr. Romani said. "It's not going to be an easy one once you step into it."
"So either kill all the servants or take the Grail?" Naruto stated.
"Normally that would be the case, but with Leff…" Romani left as Naruto nodded, as he saw his servants. "Don't worry, they can come. Remember they are able to be spirit and follow your souls."
"Right." Naruto nodded. "Well, let's get going."
The doctor nodded as he activated the tubes, "Olga… are you ready?" The doctor asked as the woman nodded walking closer. "Alright, unlike last time, this will constantly monitor your health. So unless the climate is to extreme or dangerous, you will feel fine like being in a room temp or chill fanned room."
"Thank you…"
"Olga, are you sure-"
"I'm fine Naruto." She cut off. "We must hurry. The sooner the better."
The blonde turned to see his female servants looking at him, "Ok, so Saber, Tamamo, and Alatanta ready?"
The fox girl nodded dutifully, "Hai~ Mas~ter~!" She winked at her 'husband'.
"Yes sir…" The Archer and Saber nodded robotically.
While with Ritsuka smiled at her four servants, "Ready guys?" She smiled kindly as her servants nodded.
Mashu nodded as she ready her shield.." Yes Yukiko-san, let's do this."
Arthur nodded as he placed a hand on his chest, "Indeed let's stop this madness."
"Hai~!" Okita started as Oda merely nodded before yelling, "To WAR~!"
"Alright. T-Minus 30 seconds to Ray Shifting." Dr. Romani said as Naruto, Yukiko, and Olga got in their respective tubes and the doors closed.
"Hmm… the war where Joan of Arc died… didn't that one guy from the Clocktower Kuro-something had a crush on her legend?'
Ray Shifting Commenced!
Orleans A.D. 1431
Naruto eyes widen as he saw heading down to the ground from the sky, likely around a few story heights. He quickly threw a Black Key into the ground, add some energy and-
*SPLAT!*
"Ughhhh… I don't think I'll ever get used to this…" He groaned, landing in mud that was now all over his clothing. He looked at his bracelet and tapped into it, "Yo, Romani you need to work in the aiming. I'd almost crack my skull."
"S-Sorry, I guess the coordinates were a bit off." The doctor rapidly apologized for his mishap. "Ah it seems that Yukiko and Olga are-"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yukiko screamed as she was falling. "SOMEONE SAVE MEEEEEEE!" She wailed while flailing wildly.
Almost like a shooting star, a bright light was rushing towards the girl. As it started to build up into a form, that belong to-
"Okita to the rescue!" The woman yelled as she caught Yukiko into her arms. "Are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah…" Yukiko blushed. "Dreamy…"
"Ehehehe…" The samurai chuckled as Naruto walked up to them dusting himself off as mud hit the ground. "So where's young and bratty?"
"She's-"
"I'm right here…" A voice said. They all turned to see Olga… and she was all muddy from head to toe save for her eyes.
"Romani...you're not getting requisitions when we return." She announced with an eyebrow twitching from her anger.
"Y-Yes ma'am, sorry ma'am."
"Well I guess it's safe to say that we all made it here safely." Naruto said. "How about we find ourselves a spring to clean you off Olga?"
"I'm fine~!" She yelled out, as the priest scratched his cheek, but turned away feeling a blush coming towards her face. "Thanks for the offer."
"Yare, yare, Master's boss is fickle…" Okita giggled as she whistle innocently when Olga's glared was directed at her. "Oh Master, better call the rest of the servants while we can."
"Oh, right should tell you now. For now, every Singularity you need to bring only six servants with you. We can switch them out if you need too, but in order for them to unleash their Noble Phantasm's as much as possible and also without any weakened abilities, six servants fighting at their utmost power is needed." The doctor announced, "There's only so much mana to be given to them while keeping them chain to our world. So twelve Servants in total, still that much power is equal to JSDF at this point."The man joked softly as the other glared at his rudeness.
"I see. That makes sense." Naruto nodded, as he watched as the servants coming into existence. "Oh there you are."
"Master, you're covered in mud…" Atalanta deadpanned. "How uncouth…"
"Blame Romani not me." He raised his hands in defense. "He's the one that sent me off course."
The woman looked around almost like she was unrest from the area, "Master… where are we?"
Mashu seemed to be ready as she walked towards the famous heroine, "Most likely during the Hundred Year War, in Orleans. That's in France."
The green archer nodded but still had her bow in her hands, "I see...wait they fought for a hundred years?" She said stun at the long war. "Even Achilles and Hector's war seem to be longest in my era."
"They actually did." Mashu nodded. "In fact, at this point in time, the Siege of Orléans had recently ended with the French winning, which is a major turning point in the war itself. All thanks to-"
"Joan of Arc…" Naruto finished.
CRACK~!
The Servants all turned ready to fight until they saw it was Atalanta… her teeth seemed to have fangs as the ground at her feet crack the floor. "Jeanne… D'arc…"
"Uh…" Naruto got out.
"I'm going to kill her…"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Atalanta calm down." Naruto said, holding her shoulders. "What's gotten into you?"
"She is no Saint… she is a sinner!" Atalanta seethed. "She… all those children… she could've saved them!"
"What?" Yukiko said before glaring at her, "Don't make up lies-! Ah-!" The girl gasped as she saw her three servants had their weapons at Atalanta. Oda placing her flint rifle onto the fellow Archer's forehead and Okita's katana at her throat, lastly Arthur also has taken up to be Yukiko's front.
"Archer stand down!" Naruto warned, "Even if you're my friend I will not hesitate to send you back to Chaldea."
"But-"
"Don't even force me to use a Command Seal either." Naruto glared at her.
She backed off, glaring at the ground then at her Master. "I give you one warning Master...do not trust that woman…"
"And why not?" Naruto frowned. "What did she do to piss you off so much?"
"..."
Naruto gave the rest of the people a look to make them go away as they agree, as soon as they left. The priest coughed, "Tell me your sins my child…" He started… noticing her intense glare he smiled. "Sorry bad habits. Atalanta, should I return you back? Unless you tell me, I can't fully trust you here. The last thing we need is a ally to go AWOL."
Atalanta remained silent before eventually giving in. "Before all of this… there was another Grail War. It was between two factions: Red and Black. I was part of the Red Faction, representing the Magi Association. I and my fellow Servants, Mordred, Karna, Achilles, Shakespeare, Semiramis, and Spartacus battled the Yggdramillenial family who had their own Servants: Sieg, Vlad III, Chiron, Astolfo, Avicebron, Jack the Ripper, and Frankenstein. The Red Faction was tasked to take back the Holy Grail that the Yggdramillenial family stole. And Jeanne D'Arc was Ruler… she was to mediate our war…"
"So what went wrong?" Naruto asked.
A bitter smile formed on her graceful lips, "Many things, not one thing went according to plan. Let's say the Red faction was already defeated by one man and hijacked, all save for Mordred's master." She started but frowned. "That man was truly frightening, more than Jason when he tossed aside Lady Medea."
"The hell?" Naruto frowned. "Who was this man?"
"I cannot say. To this day my head is often hazy Due to my last battle, but more on that on a later time. I killed the servant named Jack The Ripper, but…" The woman paled… remembering the children begging her to help them. The scent of blood and death still fresh… far too fresh for her liking.
"But?" Naruto prompted.
"Children… I had to save them, but Jeanne… she didn't want me to. So what gives her the right?" She said lifting her head to show Naruto her anger, "She was known as a Saint but was willingly to let children die! I could never forgive her!"
"I see…" Naruto sighed. "Well I guess I can see why would you be so angry. You love children. I don't blame you for that." He then added, "Though if and when we do meet her, I would like to hear her side of the story, then I'll come to a decision of whether or not to trust her. Sound fair?"
"But Master-"
"If she is what you say… I'll hold her down and let you take the shot." He promised shocking the woman. "Normally, it's not manly of me to do something like that, but I guess I can make an exception…" He sighed, scratching his head.
"Master…" She said stunned… before smirking. "Tch… fine, tis your will. I will do so, on my vow on charity for my Goddess Artemis. I shall not break my vow to you…"
"Good." Naruto said. "Now c'mon, the others are waiting." He said before turning around to leave and catch up with the others. Atalanta smiled as she moved behind him, not many masters would allow their servants this much freedom or wishes. Then again this isn't a normal war…
Naruto watched Olga nodding to what Mashu just said, "Kotomine, are you ready?"
"What? We're battling already?" Naruto asked.
"No, just… up." She said as the Master and Archer did so and were surprised at the sudden thing they notice. A giant ring, or at least part of one from what they could see. "We just noticed that and Romani stated that it was the size of North America.
"Well shit…" Naruto muttered.
"Tis a spell?" Atalanta asked as the Caster shook her head.
"No, no magical energy from what I can tell." She said looking disturbed. "It's as if Izanami came from Yomi and brought to the sky." She then bonked her head, "Aiya, Tamamo has to be cute~!" She said ignoring the look from the females.
"Oi, oi, oi…" Naruto sweat dropped.
"First task is to meet with the people here. We can worry about this when we get a safe location." The Director stated.
"People?" Naruto stated, "I thought it was just us and them? Them being the enemies?"
Olga shook her head, "This may be an error in history, but we are at a time where real people and real events have happened."
"That means… if this really a HY-War… Joan of Arc should already be dead right?" Naruto said as Atalanta smirked at the information. "Then…"
"Yes… Joan of Arc has already been burned…"
"Gulp… burned by stake right?" Yukiko paled comically.
"Yes." Olga nodded. "And judging by this point in time, I would assume it's been a few days after she was burned."
Arthur noticed the gloomy atmosphere as he looked around, he smiled as his eye caught something. "Look, some people! Perhaps we're near a city?" However he was knocked down as the group looked over the edge to see a squad heading down a dirt path.
"Uh-oh…" Yukiko gulped.
"Confirming… it's the French Scout Brigade." She announced, "Should we make contact?"
"No need. They're about to attack us from the looks of things." Naruto frowned.
"B-But we can't hurt them!" Yukiko said.
"Okay, hit them with the back side of the blade." Dr. Romani said.
"How do you even do that with a shield?!" Naruto comically snapped.
"Enemy attack!" The soldiers shouted.
"Way to go! Let them know where we are..." Olga smacked her hand over Naruto's head. "BY SCREAMING LIKE AN IDIOT!" She yelled back.
"You're the one screaming now…" Naruto muttered. "Look there's only one thing to do in a situation like this."
"And that is?"
"RUUUUUUN!" He shouted before turning tail and bolting out of there.
"Wait what?!" Oda yelled, "A warrior does not-!"
Okita grabbed the midget over her head, "Yeah, yeah, I'm king of the world and all that!" She stated while running away from the large amount of soldiers chasing after them! "So shut up and shoot!"
"Hey wait for me!" Yukiko shouted, running after them, as did Olga and the other Servants.
"This is oddly familiar!" Alter Saber stated, huffing at the sudden exercise. "Haa… haa… I need food!"
"You just ate the pantry!" Olga glared at the dark Saber.
The group just keeps moving until they reached a castle, "Crap we're boxed in! How did we not stop knowing this was in our way?!" Yukiko cried out.
"Wait… the soldiers…" Naruto stated, as the soldiers were already falling down and gasping for air. "They're… tired?"
Olga eyes widened realizing that these human's were normal, "They must have just finish a battle." She said as the soldier's inside were out as well, but groaned.
"Another attack!?"
"Good, I can shoot." Oda said, aiming her rifle.
"Easy cowgirl." Yukiko pulled down the girl's hat blinding her.
"C'mon~ I wanna go trigger happy~!"
"Shouldn't they be in peace around now?" Yukiko asked Olga who looked confused. "After Joan of Arc died, Charles VII signs the peace treaty?"
"No, remember this is a few days after Joan of Arc died. The war wouldn't end for another 22 years after her death."
"Either way, the war mostly broken down to more peaceful times after it right?" Yukiko stated, earning some shock from the white haired woman. She smiled with a wide grin, "History is more or less good to me. But that being said, even if took two decades, the word for peace should have started."
"You...didn't hear?" A soldier said walking towards Naruto's group. "The king is dead…"
"What?!" Yukiko gawked. "That's impossible! He shouldn't!"
"He did… and was killed by Jeanne D'arc."
"HUH?!" Yukiko gaped. "How is she still alive?!"
"Beats me." The man said before looking at them, "Look, since you're not with her, come in. I'll explain the rest." He offered leading them inside the fort. "They say that Jeanne has risen from the grave and became the 'Dragon Witch.'"
"D-Dragon witch?" Yukiko stuttered.
"Since when do dragons roam the area?" Naruto frowned.
"Since one is attacking the cities." The soldier said, "When Jeanne appear these… dragons all appeared with her!"
"That doesn't make sense! Why would-" Yukiko began.
"No it does…" Olga frowned. "This is the Grail's doing. I'm sure of it…"
"Can the Grail even do that? I can understand summoning servants and making a city go on fire, but summoning Dragons? Isn't that even a hard one to do? Those things are literally magic batteries!" The blonde yelled as Tamamo raised her hand.
"I believe it can, conjuring beings is easy but controlling isn't." The Fox girl stated, "Unless she has a skill doing so, in that case, the grail is just giving her the chance to use the rare chance."
"So Jeanne's hatred must've allowed Leff to use the grail on her…" Olga whispered, "Alright, soldier, where is this happening?"
"The capital, I shall accompany you all!"
Naruto turned as did everyone as the soldier smile, "There you are… Lady Jeanne." The man greeted the woman who entered the room.
Everything became silent…
"Ahhchoo!" Alter Saber sneezed, "Shit…" She sniffled at the silence.
All of a sudden, Atalanta drew out her bow and aimed her arrow at her. "Stay right where you are, sinner!"
"Archer!" Jeanne shouted as she gave a sad look. "So you haven't forgiven me…"
"You could've saved them!"
"Atalanta, stand down!" Naruto ordered. "I told you not to do anything until I heard her side of the story!"
"But-"
"STAND! DOWN! NOW!"
The woman didn't lower her bow but nodded, "As you command."
"That also means lowering your bow." Naruto commanded and Atalanta did so. "Now then… Jeanne… before we get into our current situation, I need to hear your side of the story."
"I'm sorry...who are you all?" She asked as Naruto sighed...this was going to be a while.
AK: And that;s it for part one, will Archer attack Jeanne/Ruler? Let's see, please review lots for a new chapter to come out sooner.
