Chapter 6: Tyran't Master 1 (For Her Family)


The next day, Illya pant to spend some quality time to herself and dragged Tatsumi to the nearby park. Tatsumi watched as Illya played with other children 'her age', he watched as she enjoyed herself for once. And he was glad that she can be happy for once. But that one thought kept troubling him the most.

"Akame is here..." Tatsumi thought. "...But what did she mean by the last memory I remember?"

His train of though was suddenly broken when he felt something behind him. "For a knight such as your self, you sure are willing to strike an opponent from behind Saber."

"Why did you save my Master?" Saber asked.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Tatsumi replied.

"Don't lie to me Berserker!" Saber snapped. "I saw you disappear during our first encounter, Rin spent the next few days researching about your Noble Phantasm and found one lead, the famed Hundred Man Slayer."

"Oh?" Tatsumi asked. "So you do have that sort of Alliance? My Master and I had a bet on how long your Alliance will last, and I seem to have lost..."

"Don't change the subject Berserker, or should I say Bulat of Night Raid." Saber stated.

"Ah... But that is where you are wrong King Arthur, I am not Bulat," Tatsumi replied surprising Saber. "How did I know? Illya remembered you."

"That is not Illyasveil!" Saber intoned. "Illyasveil should be a grown woman by now!"

"Oh? But she is Illyasveil, Saber." Tatsumi said. "She is. As for why I saved your Master, Illya is the only one allowed to kill him if she chooses to."

"What do you mean by that Berserker?" Saber asked.

"I had my fair share of siblings trying to kill each other." Tatsumi explained. "I do not want that to happen to them if I can help it. I saw it in your Master's eyes Saber, he doesn't know of Kiritsugu and Illya, and I know the boy knows why Kiritsugu left Illya. So I will need your help Saber."

"You want me to bring Shirou to you?" Saber asked dangerously. "I do not trust you Berserker, nor your Master after that stunt you pulled."

"You are welcome to drag Archer and his Master if you want to." Tatsumi said. "I do not mind."

Saber was silent for a few seconds, thinking the best course of action.

"Do you know where the Emiya Household is?" Saber asked.

"Do you even need to ask?" Tatsumi chuckled and Saber glared at him dangerously. "Relax, my orders then were to capture your Master, not kill him."

"I'll tell Shirou and Rin." Saber replied.

Akame cautiously watched Saber and Tatsumi as they spoke. She was able to hear a bit of their discussion and was surprised that this Tatsumi was indeed willing to set aside his role as a Servant just to make his Master and her brother settle their dispute.

"I see..." Akame whispered. "I'm sorry Tatsumi... But you were right, I also have a wish I wan't so badly."


After Illya was done playing, she and Tatsumi headed home for her to get dressed for the occasion. Tatsumi told her of his meeting with Saber while she played and convinced her to let both of them near Shirou.

"Saber is a bit cautious," Tatsumi explained. "We are enemies after all."

Illya was still trying to think of what to say when Tatsumi spoke again.

"You're welcome Master."


"ARE YOU NUTS!" Rin yelled at Shirou. "YOU"RE JUST GOING TO ALLOW THE MOST DANGEROUS MASTER AND SERVANT PAIR INTO YOUR HOUSE?"

Rin, Archer, Saber and Shirou held some sort of 'Round Table' meeting before Illya and Tatsumi arrives. And by 'Round Table' it meant a Table filled with Shirou's cooking.

"Saber said they will just be here to talk..." Shirou reasoned.

"You do remember the last time we fought them right?" Rin asked dangerously and Shirou nodded.

"Even Archer's explosive Noble Phantasm wasn't able to take down Einzbern's Berserker," Rin continued. "Not to mention he wields the Demon's Armor: Incursio."

"Uhm..." Shirou asked. "What is special about that Armor?"

"If that armor holds up to its Legend, nothing can destroy it." Rin explained.

"No," Saber said as she set her plate down. "There is a weakness, Archer and Lancer's Noble Phantasms was able to crack that armor."

"That is the problem Saber," Rin replied. "That much destructive power only cracked it."

"That mean's there is a limit to which the armor can withstand." Archer realized what Saber was trying to say. "Impressive Saber."

"So you're saying is we bombard Berserker with Noble Phantasms?" Shirou asked.

"Keep in mind Shirou that a Noble Phantasm is powerful." Rin explained. "Even if possible, if we bombard them with Saber's Noble Phantasm and Archer's, the collateral damage will be hard to hide. Take Lancer and Archer's attacks for example."

Shirou shuddered at the memory of the destroyed graveyard where all three Knight Servants fought against Berserker. Though Saber still hasn't used her Noble Phantasm, if Lancer's Gae Bolg and Archer's Arrow can do that much damage, then adding Saber's to the mix might not be worth the collateral damage if Berserker is still standing.

"I was able to narrow down our enemy Servants," Rin then added. "Lancer is Cu Chulainn. Berserker is quite a problem, the only person recorded to wield that Sword-"

"Armor." Shirou/Archer corrected.

"What ever." Rin continued."Was a man named Bulat. But, according to Saber, this Berserker claims that he is not the famed Hundred Man Slayer."

"And?" Shirou asked.

"Honestly Shirou," Rin sighed. "You're hopeless. Knowing your enemy is knowing their weakness. Think Shirou, when we read about Night Raid, what can you tell about Bulat?"

"Well he was an assassin," Shirou answered. "But he was once a high ranking soldier, he held honor above all and-"

"You were planning on tainting that honor weren't you?" Saber asked dangerously.

"It was Archer's idea I swear!" Rin nervously replied.

"This is war Saber," Archer stated coolly. "Honor has no meaning here."

Both Servants froze when they felt a familiar feeling nearing the Emiya Residence.

"A Master and Servant approaches," Saber interrupted. "It must be them."

"Better be on your guard Archer," Rin commanded and Archer nodded.


Illya casually strode next to Tatsumi as both approached the Emiya Residence. Tatsumi walked next to her, Incursio was placed by his belt, though it was a bit uncomfortable for him, he had to for a quick draw and equip method.

"Onii-chan's house is quite big." Illya noted.

They were greeted by a woman in her 20's wearing a a green dress with a yellow and black stripe shirt and white shoes.

"Hello, who might you be?" the woman greeted.

"Good Evening," Illya greeted. "I'm Illyasveil von Einzbern, daughter of Kiritsugu Emiya, and this is my guardian with me."

"Kiritsugu's... Daughter?" the woman asked.

"Yep." Illya smiled.

The woman then squealed before grabbing Illya with a tight hug, with Illya's face in her chest. Sadly the hug had to be interrupted as they way Illya was hugged almost sent her to paradise, if she was a guy that is.

"Miss..." Tatsumi interrupted while pointing at the squirming girl on her bosom.

"Ah..." the girl laughed sheepishly as she let go of Illya. "She was so cute I couldn't resist. My name is Taiga by the way."

"Hmph." Illya huffed.

"Kiritsugu did mention he had a daughter in Germany." Taiga stated as she guided them towards the main house. "I guess that was why he kept going to Germany before he passed."

That revelation struck Illya like lightning on a tree. If this woman is telling the truth her father did try to come back. Tatsumi was not surprised by one bit, he knew there was something wrong about Illya's stories and what he saw when meeting Shirou.

"Great..." Tatusmi muttered. "Another manipulative bastard."

They were then greeted by the Saber and Archer pair when Taiga brought them there. The tension between the three Servants was so thick you could cut it with a knife. With a sigh Illya composed herself and told them of her tale as Tatsumi suggested. When Illya was done, Shirou was indeed surprised that he had an adoptive sister. Illya then asked about her father Kiritsugu and both Taiga and Shirou answered her questions.

"I see..." Illya said with sadness after hearing of her father's tale. "Thank you."

"Well our work here is done Master," Tatsumi said. "Let's head home now."

"How about dinner first?" Shirou offered. "I was just about to cook dinner anyways."

"Master?" Tatsumi asked.

"Hmm..." Illya said. "Sure, I haven't tasted Onii-chan's cooking."

"Mind if I help?" Tatsumi offered.

"Uhm... Okay?" Shirou replied.

"I'll help as well." Archer said.

All three boys glared at each other, and moments later began ducking it out in the kitchen. The sweet aroma of the food flooded the dining area making Saber and Taiga drool in anticipation. Rin and Illya, as the proper ladies they are, just waited patiently, trying their best to compose themselves.


That same night, Akame once again wandered about in search of the other Masters, and realized that something was strange. She quickly returned towards the Matuou House and reported to Zouken.

"Nine Servants were summoned Master," Akame reported. "Two were slain by Berserker and his Master, one was slain by Saber, however, there are still six servants. Saber, Archer, Lancer, Berserker, an Unknown Servant that calls himself King of Heroes, and Myself, Assassin."

"Gilgamesh," Zouken stated. "He was an Archer Class during the Last War. But I have heard that his Master was killed. Interesting... Assassin stake out at the Kotomine Church, I believe our answers lie there."


"Hey there young lady." a male voice greeted. "You know, its kinda late, shouldn't you be at home?"

"I have a reason to be here." Akame replied.

"And that is?" the man asked.

The man in front of Akame wore tight blue clothing, had red eyes and blue hair. Casually at his back was a red lance that was giving off an omnivorous feel similar to Akame's Murasame.

"Sadly young Lady," Lancer said. "I cannot let you pass."

"Eliminate."

Akame dashed towards Lancer and quickly swung her shadowy sword at him. Lancer lowered his spear enough to block the attack but before her sword even reached him, another sword crashed between the two. A figure stood in the sky above them, Gilgamesh wearing his Golden Armor, however something was strange, the left arm potion was missing.

"You dare to attack a King with Poison?" Gilgamesh boomed. "You dare make this King cut of his own arm? Die for what you have done mongrel."

Golden ripples appeared behind him, and weapons slowly emerged from them.

"Get away Lancer!"

GATE OF BABYLON

Lancer managed to leap out of the way as thousands of weapons rained down on Akame. An explosion of dust and debris came next. After the rain of weapons, the King of Heroes waited to see if Akame survived. When the dust cleared, an armored figure was seen shielding Akame.

"Good thing I made it in time." Tatsumi said. "You still have questions to answer."

"Tch," Gilgamesh muttered. "Another Mad Dog."

"Why are you helping me?" Akame asked.

"Do need a reason to help a friend?" Tatsumi asked. "I'll take on the arrogant bastard. You deal with Lancer."


Tatsumi leap towards Gilgamesh while Akame targeted Lancer. Lancer found it odd for an Assassin Class Servant to fight head on. But was simply impressed with her skill.

"She's fast!" Lancer though. "Atleast as fast as me!"

Akame's strikes were precise, and Lancer had a hard time blocking. Since he saw that Assassin's sword is clouded by shadow, he made a quick mental not to get struck by it. There is a reason to fear an Assassin's Noble Phantasm after all. He then decided to end it. He jumped and prepared his spear, but was surprised that Akame managed to close their gap. He tried to lower his spear again to block Akame's attack. Time seemed to slow down as the shadows disappeared from Akame's sword revealing her sword and lightly grazed the back of his hand. Both landed to the ground after.

"All that show and you only grazed me?" Lancer asked.

But Akame did not answer. Instead black marking came out of the wound on Lancer's hand and spread across his body.

"I see..." Lancer said. "The 'One Cut Killer'... I guess this is what they mean by 'a Lancer's Luck'."

He then faded, returning to the Throne of Heroes.


Tatsumi gritted as he pushed forward. Each weapon that fired from those portals cracked his armor, each weapon had the force of a Noble Phantasm. With a loud roar he grabbed his spear and threw it towards the King of Heroes. The swords began to target the spear, and in this moment, Tatsumi was able to close the gap between him and the King of Heroes. His hand cocked back ready to punch his enemy but was suddenly restrained by golden chains.

"A mongrel such as you should be honored to be ensnared by my chains." Gilgamesh stated. "Now die."

Immediately, the chains dragged Tatsumi to the ground and once more, another wave of weapons rained down. And everything went black...

"Berserker!" Illya screamed.
