Almost a year has passed since Unlimited Blade works had been released. To say it was a hit was an understatement. I was now a literal millionaire. I had about 15 Million dollars. This was held by my parents as I was not age yet. I was now writing the manuscript for Fate/Zero.
Suddenly an idea popped up in my head.
Something absolutely ridiculous, and frankly stupid. But I wanted to try it anyway.
I may not be able to use magic. However, that didn't mean I couldn't prepare myself. The technology in this universe far above technology in my previous world.
Hmmm.
I'll have to consult a scientist.
The internet is a very useful thing for finding things.
Especially connecting people, finding a scientist was easy. Getting them to take my idea seriously was a whole other situation, especially when I told them that this research had to be kept secret.
When I told him that I would fund it he agreed. I now had Minato-san and his coworkers working for me.
And so the project began in secret. A weapon. A weapon to protect me.
All 15 Million dollars I had, had gone into research. My parents asked what I was using the money for and I told them it was for scientific research...
I usually went to the Lab when I was free.
The first hurdle we had to solve was the Power source. The weapon I was creating used huge amounts of power.
I was creating an armor similar to starks Iron man Armour.
However, I couldn't fit a nuclear reactor inside my chest. Ignoring the fact the arc reactor didn't make any scientific sense and was complete fiction.
There was however one thing could be used to power my suit.
Hydrogen.
Compressed Liquid hydrogen and Liquid oxygen could provide the Power needed.
It also would feed the Hydrogen Fuel Cell which would sit on the chest plate where the impossible arc reactor would lay, powering the electronics, critical systems, power-hungry Lasers and weapons.
I also added LED's to it to make it look like an arc reactor.
Creating the power system took three months to pressure test and make sure the system was safe.
Next was the Hydraulic Systems and the Motors and the framework, those were simple. Compared to the power source.
"Hey, whatcha doing?"
"AAAAAH!" I spun around in surprise. "Oh it's you Sayaka, what are you doing here?" I held my hand on my chest, glaring holes in her head. " You nearly gave me a heart attack, and who let you in any way?"
"What? You've stopped coming to play for weeks now, and Madoka's worried. So I came to see what you were doing."
"So what are you doing anyway?"
"I'm conducting research."
"And what are you researching." She asked skeptically.
"Weapons?" I said a bit hesitantly.
"Riiiight! Come on! Madoka is waiting." She said clearly not believing it, before dragging me out of the lab.
"Don't worry boy, go on with your girlfriend. I'll continue working on it."
Before I could deny his claim I was dragged out the door.
Madoka was angry at me.
I was in Seiza
Okay, it was kind of my fault for not telling them anything but still, it was hard to keep a straight face when Madoka was angry. She was just too cute.
"Kamijou-kun. Where in the world have you been!"
"Researching."
"Researching?"
"Yeah, I went to his house and his mom told me that he was in some kind of lab. So I went there and found Kyouske working of some sciency stuff."
"I see." Madoka sighed losing her anger. She couldn't stay angry for long.
"Stupid Kamijo, we thought we did something wrong, and you didn't want to see us anymore."
Sayaka began to snort and then fell down laughing.
"Oh god. Madoka, you really look like a hamster."
"Sayaka-chan!"
"Kamijo-kun, tell her that's not true!" Madoka asked turning to me.
I coughed and looked away whistling innocently.
Madoka glared at me and Sayaka fell down clutching her sides.
"Kids, dinner is ready!" Kaname Junko called out.
The Frame of the armor was made with a combination of tungsten carbide and Titanium and Graphene. The frame was one of the most expensive parts of the armor. It had to be really strong as I was going to be fighting monsters. Magical monsters.
During tests, the armor was able to withstand 130,000,000,000 Pascals of force. Thanks to the combination of Graphene, Titanium and trace amounts of Tungsten carbine.
With the armor complete all that was remaining was building the weapons.
And Finally, Artificial intelligence to help pilot the machine and a computer for it to run on. Oh, and Stealth systems.
Walking to school never got old. it was relaxing and as advanced as Mitakihara was it still had a lot of trees and beautiful scenery. Especially the Sakura Trees
"Good morning, Hitomi-san."
"Good morning, Kyouske-san."
"Yo, Hitomi!"
"Good Morning Sayaka-san, Madoka-san"
"Hey Kyouske, what kind of songs do you like?" Sayaka asked curiously.
"Songs, huh? Well, I like Rock songs, but I also like traditional Japanese songs without any vocals."
"Oh, what about you Madoka."
"Well, I like Orchestral I guess?"
"So you're a classic fan, eh? Wait Hitomi plays the piano right?"
"Yes, I do."
"What do you think of solo piano songs Kyousuke?"
"Well, Sayaka-chan, I like the calming type of Piano songs, no aggressive ones. however as nice as Solo Pianos are it's even better if it was combined with a flute."
Ah, small talk like this often made me forget the true nature of this world that I was preparing for it was relaxing in a way.
My hands.
My hands are gone!
All my work for nothing.
I knew Kyousuke had suffered an accident. However, it never mentioned what kind of accident.
I'm pretty sure this NOT the accident.
Fuck.
I lost both my arms from the elbow down. All that was left was two stumps. How the fuck am I supposed to write now.
I just finished releasing Fate Zero a few weeks ago and I had started writing the story for Fate Grand Order, rather than a Gacha game, I was going to animate it.
This was not an accident.
That much I knew it's not possible.
It was impossible for two power lines to simultaneously fail at the exact same time and fall. Then electrocute me in such a way that only my both my arms are electrocuted.
'
This had to be the incubators fault.
I was angry.
I should have known they would retaliate.
All my work made uselessly. How the hell am I supposed to fight now? How can I even survive? I was helpless.
I sat on my hospital bed. It's been a week and today I was being released. As advanced as medicine was for this world they couldn't fix it and I was amputated,'
Sayaka used to come by with Madoka and put on Unlimited Blade works for me to watch. I admit even if I wrote it, it was still nice. My mom and dad come every day before and after work to visit me.
Sometimes she even used to bring me Pepperoni pizza.
My favorite.
As I watched Shirou cut of Gilgamesh's arm in the final battle I winced.
Wait.
That's it.
If I don't have an arm then I'll just have to make one.
Once I was released, the first thing I did was head to the Lab.
For the first few months after the hospital released me, going to school was tough, but I did it anyway.
I was determined to turn my disability into an advantage.
Do the incubators think this would stop me?
Well, fuck them! They clearly don't know me.
"Hey, Kyouske, say ah."
"Ah."
Ok. Now I couldn't wait to get my cybernetic hands finished.
Sayaka was taking advantage of me.
If I didn't eat Madoka would be sad and Sayaka decided to take advantage of it.
Damn you Sayaka can't we go to the roof like we used to, why the hell are we in class? I can feel people staring.
"Damn you Sayaka." I damned her.
"Oh, come on don't be a baby."
I glared at her harder.
This was hell!
Absolute hell!
"You won't get to do this tomorrow."
"Then Madoka will be sad you know."
"Who said anything about making Madoka sad."
She looked at me suspiciously and I grinned in return.
"What are you planning Kyousuke?"
I merely grinned like a Cheshire cat.
Madoka kept eating happily watching us bicker back and forth.
On the way to school the next day, I made a short detour to the lab. AI was partially completed, and the weapons are almost ready.
However, I went there to pick up something else. A Cybernetic arm worth over a million dollars.
To be exact an arm made from a Titanium alloy. However, It also had something special.
A computer.
It was where the AI would be stored when it was needed to pilot the suit. Otherwise, it would be on the server.
Two computers in both arms would run the AI that would run the suits critical functions. However, it also had several sensors that allowed me to feel my artificial arms. It
The cybernetic arm was then covered with a polymer that felt and looks exactly like skin.
It would appear to others as if I had never lost my arm but to me. It would be different.
"Kyouske your arm!"
"Yes, I know Sayaka."
"How."
"I built it of course."
...
"Kyouske-san. That's wonderful." Madoka cheered.
"Well, look like staying at that lab all the time was actually useful after all, who knew?" Sayaka muttered.
"Sayaka-chan!" Madoka began sternly.
I began to grin at Sayaka. Have a taste of angry Madoka. Mwahahaha.
"You too Kyouke-san!"
Hey, what did I do?
Now Sayaka was snickering great.
Mom and Dad were quite shocked when I got home, we did go to a restaurant to celebrate afterwards.
Time flew by as I wrote the Story for Fate Grand Order, but that was not the best achievement.
The Suit was Finally complete. Just in time for my fourteenth birthday.
It was still an achievement nonetheless.
"Well, it's time to test it, kid. You ready?" Minato asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be."
I stepped onto the platform and extended my arms as the hydraulic arms began to fit the armour on.
"Jarvis?"
"At your service sir." Ho, look like the personality code is done well.
"Engage heads up display?"
"Check." the screen filled my vision with detailed information.
"Have you been uploaded?"
"I have indeed been uploaded into your cybernetic arms, sir, now calibrating Virtual Environment."
"Check the control surfaces please Jarvis."
"Will do sir."
Once all checks were complete it was time for a test flight.
"WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO! THIS IS AMAZING!"
I flew through the night sky out of Mitakihara, ascending through the clouds and broke the sound barrier with a sonic boom.
I didn't know flying could feel like this.
I twisted and turned, doing loops. Flying on a plane didn't have anything on this. was this how fighter pilots felt like? If so, they were seriously lucky bastards.
Flying felt like freedom on a whole new level. You are free from the ground!
I will never forget the absolute elation that ran through my soul.
"YEAAAAAH!"
I think I flew for more than an hour. before returning to the lab to an irritated Minato. Apparently, I took a bit too long and it was past his working hours. So I decided to treat them all to Yakiniku and beer.
Of course, I wasn't going to drink beer, I was underage.
Yakiniku beef here I come!
