Heroic Straight Flush

by L33t Horo

A young boy... a trolling wizard... and the class cards who contain Heroic Spirits. .. what will Issei Hyudou will do? What will he become?

12. Chapter 12

Chapter 12: And the truth comes to light/ All know it's name

I am actually rather impressed not a single one of you got my Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the north star) reference in the last chapter.

Some are upset about Aoko being here and doing the alteration of the soul on Issei but here is my answer… Zelretch is hax… he can do what he wants and connected the S.E.R.A.P.H Moon Cell subspace system dedicated to a Masters growth with a special Bounded field area that is keyed once Issei reached either a certain level of strength or in a desperate straights.

I was planning on having Berserker fight but got an idea that would be much better.

Also for some reason when I fight in Fate/GO the only servant that survives all the fights actually is Lancer XD.

Also I will make a new short chapter for Asia today… question, who should use Sapphire? I will be making a poll today for it.

Chapter start

Rias frowned as she sent a sphere from her Power of Destruction towards one of the Cerberus's, seeing the incoming attack the three headed dog tried to dodge to the side, only to see water appear from nowhere and restrain it in place. The creature bellowed in agony as it was hit by the power before dissolving into nothingness. Rias looked over to Sona and gave her friend a grateful nod of thanks before the duo turned to see the last Cerberus being taken down by the other members of their respective peerages.

Saji was absorbing its strength through his Sacred Gear as Absorption Line wrapped itself around one of the dog's heads, meanwhile Koneko and Tsubasa used their Rook strength to pin it in place. Both peerages using group tactics to safely attack the Cerberus, as if they were a pack of wolves hunting a larger prey. The Cerberus gave one last howl of defiance before it grew quiet as the sword that Kiba had made for Irina changed shape and shot forward, piercing the dog's three heads and braining the helpless beast.

Seeing the last Cerberus dealt with, Rias and the rest of them turned their attention to the fight between Arthur and the others, flinching as they saw the heavily panting and injured Kiba and Xenovia staring at the unharmed descendant. The descendant sighed in exasperation as he raised Excalibur above his head and a circle of black flames briefly surrounded the descendant before dark twisted Holy energies began condensing around the tip of the blade.

All the fighters watched as a Tsubaki placed herself between the approaching onslaught of flames before a large full body mirror appeared in front of her. "Everyone get away from him!" shouted the Queen, making Xenovia and Kiba glance at her and immediately back away from the descendant.

No one said anything as the black tide crashed into the mirror before being absorbed into the Sacred Gear, suddenly the mirror glowed before the black flames shot back out of it at Arthur with ten times the power it had originally. Arthur's eyes widened as he saw this before the descendant was engulfed in his own black flames, as the attack died down everyone saw where Arthur had been standing was reduced to a smoking crater.

"We got him!" cheered Irina, even as Le Fay had a horrified expression on her face.

Suddenly they saw a portal form in front of them and a sinking feeling grew in the combatants as a familiar figure emerged from within it, clutching Caliburn in one hand and Excalibur in the other.

However, Le Fay frowned as she noticed something wrong with Caliburn…it was weak…

To the Devils and exorcists who hadn't been around that blade a full power it would have seemed powerful but Le Fay knew the truth. Caliburn was barely even at half its power as its weak glow was outcompeted by the black light of Excalibur. 'What is going on? Caliburn never acted like that before,' she thought.

"That's not good," muttered Rias as they saw their opponent completely unscathed from the attack. "Tsubaki I don't suppose you could do that again?"

The Sitri Queen shook her head, "Alice Mirror can only be used once before it has to enter a cooldown period."

"Then we're back to the old fashion way," growled Xenovia as the two exorcists as well as the Devils all surrounded Arthur.

Suddenly the sword in Irina's hand shot towards Arthur as the exorcist maneuvered herself into his blind spot, only to see Arthur move at an unnatural speed as he just barely avoided being skewed. However, he didn't escape unscathed as the blade still narrowly cut the hand holding Caliburn, causing the sword to fall from his grasp and sink into the earth.

Satisfied that they had separated him from one of his weapons they all prepared to attack at once, realizing this Arthur gave a low growl of annoyance. "You're in my way, Sword of Promised Victory…" he spoke, softly as he raised Excalibur above his head and all they saw was a pulse of black before pain consumed them.

Kiba Yuuto wasn't quite sure what had just happened, it had seemed like they had forced Arthur into a corner, only for the twisted power of Excalibur to suddenly engulf them before the Devil felt pain across his entire body. Pushing himself to his feet Kiba noticed that he was the only one left awake from the blow as Arthur slowly strode towards Le Fay's unconscious body.

Before he even knew what was happening Kiba felt his body rushing towards Arthur, Holy Eraser clutched tightly in his hand as he attacked the descendant, rage acting as the only driving force to move his body. The descendant lazily blocked the attack as Kiba placed himself between Le Fay and Arthur, getting a frown from the descendant.

"Move Devil, I went easy on you before but if you get in the way of my revenge I'll kill you too," ordered Arthur, getting a soft chuckle from Kiba.

"Don't get me wrong, I hate her just as much as you…but Issei wants her alive and I owe him my life. So I can't let you kill her…besides how can I pass up the chance to kill Arthur Pendragon himself?" grinned Kiba as he met Arthur's stare with one of his own.

"That look in your eyes, they remind me of his," glared Arthur as he raised Excalibur for a finishing blow…that never came.

*Klang*

a beautiful sound

No… the sound was not beautiful at all… it's the sound of metal against metal.

It's just that the one who defended him was so beautiful that made it the sound feel like a charming bell

Kiba blinked as he saw the an armored girl standing before Kiba standing before him and blocking the blow that would have decapitated the Devil. "You," hissed Arthur, fury clearly displayed on his face.

"Hello, nephew's descendant," said the knight in a curt voice. "I had hopped against hope that you would have come to your senses… it seems that whatever ailed your mind has done a good job on it, to kill one with no fault...you disappoint me… shadow of the king"

*play music: The battle is to the strong (Fate/Zero)*

Kiba was shocked as he stared at the armoured knight before him, feeling like he had seen the armour before but unable to recall where. Suddenly Arthur retreated back from the interlocking blades as he examined the opponent before him.

"Mordred," growled the descendant.

'Mordred!?" exclaimed Kiba, before erupting into a coughing fit as the rest of the observers began coming to their senses, a soft gasp heard from Le Fay at the sight.

"By the authority of the King I command you to be still," growled Arthur as Excalibur pulsed with a black glow.

"and once more you rely on manipulation… did you think had I had a blade like that,that I would use it on my subjects and knights?...You are Arthur Pendragon in name only boy," replied 'Mordred' in an sad tone as the knight and started walking over to him, the swords magic unable to get hold of her.

The descendant just growled before he tried again with a similar result as 'Mordred' feinted an overhead strike and instead head butted Arthur. The descendant backed up before he looked at something behind her and Excalibur gave another pulse of black energy.

"By the authority of the King I command you..." begun Arthur, getting a disappointed shake of the head from 'Mordred'.

"Again? You should know by now that will not work on me," muttered the knight.

Arthur ignored this interruption as he continued, "…all to kill Mordred Pendragon."

"What?" muttered the Knight in confusion before a sphere of pure energy slammed into her and dissolved a fraction of her armour.

Arthuria quickly turned to see Rias with another black sphere forming as the rest of the observers got up from the ground, a blank expression on their faces as the Knight realized her predicament. The only one that seemed to be struggling against the power of Excalibur was Kiba, the Devil's face scrunched into an expression of concentration.

"You dare bring others into our quarrel, You dare use my name and counterfeits of my swords?" she snarled in fury. "I wanted to make you see the so error of your ways because you are a descendant of my nephew… my friend and my knight, but now… I will show you why I am…."

The once and future king… a king called Arthuria.

Suddenly lightning shot out from Akeno's hand and rushed towards the King of Knights who disappeared in a burst of movement before slamming her fist into the Akeno's stomach, knocking the already weakened Devil out. Arthuria then blocked a strike from Durandal with the air sheath as Xenovia tried to take advantage of the opening, only for the exorcist to struggle to hold off the retaliatory strike by the Knight.

Arthuria forced Xenovia away from her as she dived out of the way of another black sphere from Rias, realizing the damage the heiress could now do to her. The Knight rushed the Gremory heiress as she tried to get in close to disable the Devil, only for a line to wrap itself around her shoulder. Instantly Arthuria felt her strength getting drained from this line as she turned to see Saji restraining her with his Sacred Gear.

Growling in frustration she grabbed the line and pulled, staggering Saji before the Devil was sent flying towards her, only to be clothes lined by the Knight. As Saji fell down unconscious Irina ran up to Arthuria with the sword Kiba gave her turning into a Katana. Upon seeing this it seemed that she hesitated briefly before a low sigh escaped her as she slammed her with a weaker version of strike air into the exorcist's head, knocking another fighter out of the brawl.

"Sorry Iri," whispered the Knight softly.

Ignoring the rest of the fighters Arthuria turned her attention back to the biggest threat, Rias Gremory, whom was charging yet another black sphere. This time activating Prana Burst she easily closed the distance between them before any of the other fighters could react. The Gremory heiress received a elbow blow to the back of her neck as she collapsed to the ground, only for Arthuria to groan slightly as a blade of highly pressurized water created a narrow cut along her arm.

The Knight then sighed as Sona sent another attack at her, a blue magical circle glowing around the Sitri heiress' hand as her Queen Tsubaki rushed at her with her naginata viciously stabbing at her gut. The Knight dodged with a half turn before slicing Tsubaki's naginata cleanly in two as her invisible sword bisected the weapon, causing the Devil to stumbled as she was grabbed by the throat and hurled into Sona.

The Queen and King of the Sitri peerage fell over in a tangle of limbs while Koneko grabbed Arthuria and used her Rook enhanced strength to lift the Knight off the ground before attempting to pile drive her into the earth. Arthuria only just brought her hands up to stop herself from hitting the ground head first, unfortunately leaving herself open to a powerful right hook to her unprotected face.

Arthuria swayed briefly as she got to her feet and used the wind from her sheath to break apart debris that was being thrown at her by the Rook. Koneko continued trying to throw debris at the Knight but after seeing it failing she changed strategies. Arthuria frowned as she saw cat ears and a tail appear on the rook before blue flames grew in her hands, the knight being forced to dodge the majority of the flames that came rushing towards her.

However, before long the Rook's blank expression began to change as she started using Senjutsu to absorb the surrounding energies flowing around them, including the corrupt Holy power of Excalibur. Koneko froze and immediately started screaming in visceral horror as more and more of the corrupt power entered her body.

Using this as an opening Arthuria smashed into the Rook and attempted to knocked her out, only for Koneko to glare up at her a familiar madness appearing in her eyes. She took a step back as everyone saw the Devil's teeth become sharp fangs, shadows beginning to obscure her face as more and more corrupt and malevolent energies flowed into the former Nekoshou.

"Koneko…no don't…" coughed out Kiba as the only Devil left with free will realized what was happening.

Koneko just let out a high pitch screech as she leapt towards Sona's Knight Tomoe, the Devil's apparent Senjutsu induced madness breaking whatever hold Ruler had over the former Nekoshou. The Rook crushed the bones in Tomoe's arm, the limb in question giving a loud crack before hanging limp at her side.

The crazed Devil then changed, Asia entered the combat zone, a disturbingly blank look on her face due to Ruler's influence, which didn't change as she was burnt by Koneko's blue flames.

"Asia!" Arthuria yelled as she vanished an instantly reappeared next to her… her sword covered in a malestorm.

"HAMMER OF THE WIND KING!"

Koneko was hit wuth the full ppwer of her technique… a powerful blow akin to a giant slwdge hanmer further enhanced by magic, she however landed on all fours as a feline would as a beastly snarl grew on her face and her body was surrounded by some kind of power. In fact, it seemed like the Devil had even grown a second tail. This one having the same sense of wrongness that Excalibur had as instead of white like the rest of her fur it was a rotted and decaying black colour.

Arthuria grunted in exertion as she blocked a blow from the Devil, skidding back a few feet from the force of the attack. "So this is Senjutsu? I'll admit it's impressive," admitted the king, getting another high pitched squeal in response.

Faster than most could see, Koneko feinted an uppercut before slamming a right hook into the knight's already battered looking armour, which left a dent in the magically reinforced armour. However, Koneko wasn't the only one that could be brutal as Arthuria grabbed the Rook by the throat and began to choke her.

The king ignored the retaliating kicks that were sent her way, even as she felt pain erupting from each one that impacted despite the armour protecting her. But, not even the most powerful of monsters could survive without breathing and so eventually the destructive aura surrounding Koneko dispersed as the former Nekoshou was finally knocked out from a lack of oxygen. After confirming that it wasn't an act Arthuria then set the body gently down on the floor, watching as the second tail vanished from Koneko's body.

With the major threats taken care of the rest of the Devils were quickly knocked out and as she stood over the unconscious body of Ruruko, Xenovia suddenly appeared behind her with Durandal swinging at her chest. Arthuria immediately spun around to block the blow as the earth beneath her cracked from the force of Durandal's blade meeting her own.

Suddenly Xenovia was pushed off Arthuria as Kiba crashed tackled her to the ground, catching the exorcist off guard as he stabbed her with the electrified sword he'd used during his spar with Issei. Xenovia briefly cried out in pain before she was immobilized by the electricity, allowing Kiba to climb off the exorcist and turn to Arthuria and Arthur. The king of knights gave the Devil a grateful nod as Kiba smiled and collapsed to the ground in pain and exhaustion, the mental strain of fighting off Ruler's influence clearly draining him beyond measure. Throughout it all Arthur had done nothing, choosing instead to watch and examine 'Mordred's' power and ability against the Devil's and exorcists.

"You're getting sloppy Mordred, or are you just exhausted? You should have known better to enter this fight in your current state," growled Arthur as the only two fighters left still standing turned to face each other.

The knight panted as she grasped the sword in her hand tightly and swayed slightly on her feet, the first signs of exhaustion beginning to appear. Suddenly Excalibur changed shape as it snaked around her arm before constricting around it, getting a surprised grunt from Arthuria as the blade was wrenched from her grip by Arthur's sword. The knight could only watch as her weapon went sailing out of her hands and sent flying into the ground far away from the two fighters.

Arthuria then activated Prana Burst as she rushed towards Arthur merely matched her speed, causing the knight to stumble in surprise as she narrowly missed the sword coming into her head. "You're fast Mordred, but nothing is faster than Rapidly," growled Arthur as Excalibur in his hands briefly pulsed with a dark light.

"You and your toys are beginning to become an annoyance," panted Arthuria tiredly, even as a low growl escaped her throat and she ducked under the black blade that was swung over her head.

The two fighters became a blur that even Kiba struggled to track as they disappeared in a burst of movement, Arthuria only just barely avoiding Excalibur's blade with each strike. Finally, it seemed that what was left of Arthur's fragile self-control evaporated as he roared in frustration and swung his sword in a vicious downwards strike.

She desperately rolled to the side as she attempted to avoid the strike but cried out in pain as the blade slammed into her armoured shoulder, denting the knight's armour from the force of the attack and sending her flying.

The King of knight's body came to a sudden stop as it hit a large metal object sticking out of the earth and Kiba's eyes widened as he the tired and bloodied face of the girl. 'That's Mordred?' questioned knight in confusion.

However, the Devil's thoughts were interrupted as he saw Arthur walk over to the downed form of the knight, his sword raised for the killing blow. Seeing this Arthuria quickly grabbed the metal object she had slammed into before pulling it out of the ground, already knowing that normal metal wouldn't even cause the blade to slow and yet refusing to just lay down and die.

"I have to protect them; I won't let you start another war! I WON'T LET YOU SULLY MY NAME!" shouted the King of Knights before a massive surge of power filled her.

And so Excalibur fell upon the knight…only for the two fighters to be engulfed in a bright white light as a loud clang echoed around the battlefield.

It was at this moment that the others began to regain consciousness again as the brilliant white light passed over them, causing the Devils to both flinch in pain and breathe a sigh of relief as they felt the familiar massive Holy Energy wash over them, pushing back the corrupt wrongness they got from Excalibur. As the white light died down everyone, including Arthur, had a shocked expression on their faces as they saw Arturia sword.

Cancelling the [Bounded Field of the Wind King] her sword's true form was shown.

"What?" muttered Arthur with a soft whisper as he gazed at the sword gleaming in her hands, humming with Holy power.

Arthur just gained a furious look on his face before he snarled, shaking with unbridled fury, "you dare mock me?! You dare use a fake?!"

Arthuria brought [True] Excalibur up to block the blow, the twisted and pure Holy Energies clashing against each other as the Holy power being emitted from Excalibur skyrocketed. And so the two fighters were each surrounded by their respective glows, a pure golden flare on Arthuria's side and a deep darkness on Arthur's.

"Descendant of Arthur you a are not! Arthur could never sire any child… for king Arthur was in fact born Arthuria Altria Pendragon, a woman…. And you can't be a container of her soul as she is in Avalon… waiting to be called once more" Arthuria said "who you are, foolish boy, is Gawain's descendant…. The one who played the role of a male king when needed to cover the deception"

Arthur raged as his sword dark glow further increased and shoved his attack… who was meet by her golden sword.

"LIES!" he yelled as he furiously attacked, not leaving a second to counter him, all of his attacks where as brutal as they where swift.

He then jumped back...

For the observers it had seemed that the world had turned a shade of monochrome as the twin lights spread out to encompass the entire battlefield and bathing everything in either a black or gold colour. The Devils struggled to breathe from the amount of Holy power surrounding them from the two massively powerful Holy Swords.

Suddenly Arthuria blinked in shock as Arthur and his blade became invisible, Excalibur passing through nothing but air as the knight brought her blade back up to a ready position. She then started searching for the descendant only for her Instincts skill to scream at her at where to place her blade. Another loud clang rang out as Arthuria's blade blocked a strike to her head, briefly revealing Arthur before he disappeared again.

Kiba watched as the female Knight just barely held off every assault, one of her eyes forced shut as blood ran down from the shallow cut above it. 'She's going to lose at this rate, she can't fight him if she can't see him,' he realized, struggling to resist the crushing power of the two power Holy swords as he got to his feet.

'So let's take that advantage away from him,' grinned Kiba, as a plan began forming in his mind. Taking a deep breath, the Devil reached into the last reserves of strength he had left as he activated his Sacred Gear, a demonic sword beginning to form in his mind.

Feeling the comforting weight in his hands the Devil smirked as he struggled to an empty space unnoticed by either combatant as they were too focused on the other to worry about the weakened Devil. That was until he erupted into a quick burst of speed as he made to stab the empty space only for Arthur to reveal himself standing there with a Kiba's sword held inches from his face.

"Transparency is a powerful blade, but even if it can hide you from my sight. It can't hide your heartbeat, nor your unrestrained killing intent, [Sword Birth] really is useful isn't it?" smirked Kiba, making both Arthuria and Arthur blink in surprise at the Devil.

Arthur growled as he pushed the weakened Devil away from him and raised Excalibur in order to finish off the pesky Devil, immediately Arthuria forced him to stop as she closed the distance with Prana Burst and knocked the descendant away from Kiba. Again Arthur disappeared as he avoided her strike, causing the King of Knights to growl in frustration.

"Swing your blade to the left now!" ordered Kiba, immediately she did which turned to a feral grin as the [true] Excalibur smashed into Excalibur and sent the descendant flying.

Together Kiba and Arthuria made Arthur's invisibility useless as they continued retailing against him and eventually the descendant roared in frustration as he turned to Kiba now standing with the rest of the observers at a relatively safe distance.

Excalibur in his hands then began glowing it's sickening black colour as a massive torrent of flames rushed towards Kiba and the rest of the helpless observers. Sona tried to create a shield for them but it was shattered in an instant as the black flames continued on their murderous course.

Kiba closed his eyes with a sigh as he felt the heat of the flames growing hotter and waited for the inevitable…that never came. Realizing he should be dead by now Kiba opened his eyes to see 'Mordred' standing in front of them with her sword's glow brighter than ever as she held back the dark power.

The descendant then retreated to a safe distance he frowned and stabbed his sword into the ground, a deep darkness spreading across the battlefield. Everyone but Arthuria, Arthur and Le Fay gasped as the surroundings changed to that of a burning blood stained field, the smell of charred bodies filling their noses.

"What…what is this horrible place?" gasped Rias, making Le Fay frown.

"This is Camlann or what was left of it after the battle, I knew Nightmare could make illusions but nothing of this scale or detail," replied the witch.

There was silence at this declaration as everyone turned back to look at the clashing Pendragon's with no small amount of awe, as they realized they were watching history repeating itself. Neither Arthur nor Arthuria broke the silence either as the descendant kept his gaze locked on her and the knight soon did the same after looking around the battlefield with weary eyes.

'It's your fault! You killed him! You destroyed our home! Our Utopia! You and Morgan shall pay!' whispered thousands of voices at once as the flames glinted off Arthuria's armour and giving the knight a hellish look.

Arthuria then saw the familiar sight of two armoured figures clashing, one had been run through with a lance while the other had a sword buried deep into their chest. The King of Knights flinched as the image faded away and the whispers grew louder, sounding as if they were souls of the damned and cursing her with every breath.

"Are you satisfied? Bringing up the sins of the past like this?" she asked, in a tired voice.

"No not yet, I still have Nightmares to show you," growled Arthur as Excalibur began glowing again and Arthuria saw a smoky black fog seep out of the blade and form into a familiar image.

"But how? That's not possible… 'son?'" muttered Arthuria as Excalibur fell from her suddenly numb hands.

To the observers it had seemed that the King of Knights had just become petrified in fear as she stared at empty air, Arthur quickly walking over to the discarded Excaliburn as she stayed stock still. "Nightmares of our own making are always more terrifying than anything the world can show us," he muttered, as he stared at Arthuria and the illusion of Camlann faded away.

The descendant then raised his blade to decapitate the unmoving knight, only for an armoured fist to crash into his face and send him reeling. Arthuria then rushed over to Excalibur as Arthur recovered and spun to stare at her in shock.

"How did you break that illusion?" he demanded, angrily Excalibur glow disappearing as the blade fell hilt first into the earth.

"Against just Altria, that would have worked…" began Arthuria as her heterochromatic eyes briefly changed to a familiar chocolate brown. "But she isn't the only one you're fighting…Arthur."

A smirk then grew on Arthuria's face as her eyes returned to normal, "and besides having B ranked Magic Resistance helps."

Le Fay was watching as the two Pendragon members continued trying to kill each other, both clearly tired and injured beyond measure as they panted and blood poured from all their wounds. 'This can't go on, it's my fault…I have to stop this!' she realized.

Before anyone could react the descendant of Morgan ran out towards the two fighters as a brief lull occurred while they recovered their strength. "Enough please you need to stop, I beg of you!" cried the witch.

"Get out of the way, that man is not your brother anymore!" screamed the blue knight as they watched Le Fay place herself between the two fighters.

"Shut up, I won't let you hurt him!" cried the descendant, tears streaming down her face as she turned to face her brother.

Arthuria looked looked at the young girl… "It seems time has made you change… I never hated you, you know?" she said with a sad smile. "The Morgan I know was cold and ruthless… but you… I see much warmth in your eyes"

Arthur just stared at his sibling, the tainted sword clutched in his grasp giving off another horrid glow as an expression of rage crossed his face. "Morgan Le Fay," he hissed, everyone's eyes widening as he raised his sword at his own sister.

"Damn it girl, MOVE!" ordered the female knight as she disappeared in a burst of movement, rushing to block the incoming strike.

Prana Burst was fast…but this time…it wasn't fast enough…

Then… the Archer card begun to glow.

{I am glad that I still carry your treasure, use it}

"Brother?" came the confused whisper from the tear filled Le Fay as she stared down at Excalibur that seemed to slowly fall into her head, it would surely be her doom.

Everyone was stunned, a luxurious piece of equipment made of gold and decorated with blue enamel that seems more like a treasure to show dignity and nobility like a crown or staff than a weapon. No one knows what kind of a divine mystery it is made from, but it was created by fairies along with Excalibur, an inscription written in Fairy Letters engraved on its center to show that it is not the work of man.

But it stopped this twisted mockery of Excalibur

The descendant of Morgan coughed as she looked up. The Golden sheath that held back the sword.

Le Fay Pendragon felt sorrow at looking looking at it…

Arthuria pushed him back

"You gone mad, have you not?" she asked, glancing at her [true] Excalibur clutched in her hands. "You wanted to kill your own kin and blood, you are worst than the original Morgan…. My sister" Arthuria said.

"Can you recognize this sheath?" asked Arthuria, and Kiba frowned as she turned to face him before continuing.

"Come then, foolish boy… attack me with all you are capable of… show me a modicum of skill and power that the decendant of my cherished cousin had… do it so I may crush you and your spirit, this sword you hold has clouded your mind… the rage and sorrow it holds… out of context was interpreted by you…. The past is in the past, one must move on… it is not vegance nor blood that the dead desire, it is the happiness of those who are alive… vengance… it won't let them rest… chained unto you as they worry about your ultimate fate as you further twist yourself into something you are not " Arthuria said, and Kiba's eyes widened as long buried memories resurfaced.

"Come on Kiba let's play!" cheered the small girl next to him.

Suddenly the image switched to all his friends holding back the guards as they were killed off one by one, while another pushed Kiba to the open window. "Kiba please, you must live," he muttered before pushing Kiba out the window.

"Live your life and be free," was the last thing he heard before the image faded away.

The Devil felt tears well up in his eyes as his vision blurred, the Knight then felt what almost seemed like a hand on his shoulder. Looking up Kiba blinked as he could have sworn he saw the ethereal images of his dead friends smiling at him.

"Hatred can bind you to the past, and jeopardize your future if you let it. Your friends died to help you Kiba Yuuto, however that is the past. Remember them, grieve for them, but do not let that control you, focus on the happy memories you made with them, do not taint their memories with hatred," informed Arthuria as a small smile grew on her face.

"You had a terrible past but it is just that, the past. You need to put it behind you and instead focus on the friends you've made now; after all it's called the present for a reason. Besides, I doubt that they'd want you to live your life like this," concluded the King of Knights as Kiba felt the hand on his shoulder let go.

Looking back to his ethereal friends he saw them smile and nod at him one last time before slowly dispersing one by one. 'What have I been doing?' questioned the Gremory Knight as tears began rolling down his face, his friend's faces slowly disappearing as images of Rias and the rest of his fellow Devils replaced them.

Seeing Kiba beginning to weep Arthuria turned back to Arthur who still hadn't moved from his sister's corpse and frowned, "look at her Arthur! This is what your hatred has given you, you nearly killed a sister who loved you and believed in you"

For the first time there was a sign of movement from Arthur as a tiny flinch occurred at this comment, something that didn't escape the notice of Arthuria. "And so here we stand, two Pendragon's who are chained one by hatred and the other for a delusional dream of undoing their reign...Understand? In your hatred for me, you have become the very thing you sought to destroy," she continued with a glare, only for Arthur to begin trembling in rage.

"You…you dare to lecture me. YOU INBRED BASTARD!" he screamed as Excalibur began glowing it's sickening colour as he lifted the blade above his head.

"So be it, it looks like you won't come to your senses until I destroy that little mockery of yours," growled the female knight as she lifted her own sword above her head.

The observers just watched in stunned awe as Arthur was surrounded in the same black holy light that had beaten them in an instant, the power coming off the blade exceeding the energy that he had used against them. And yet, Kiba frowned as he saw that Arthuria didn't even seem phased by this power as she stood still and took a deep breath.

Her sword then begun to burn a fierce color of gold… it was beautiful...

No...It cannot be called beautiful because of its appearance, for the description of "beautiful" will only dirty it. It is instead sacred, made from people's conception, legends weaved only out of hope. It is not a myth or inhuman work, but a "crystal trained by the heart alone", making it reign as the strongest fantasy. It is the crystallization of the prayer named "glory" and everything etched in the hearts of those who are scattered at the sword's radiance; the nostalgic, sorrowful, and hallowed dream of those who were placed on the bloody hell called a battlefield, of all warriors past, present, and future fully exposed to the fear of death and despair, and who still cling to a desire: "to be exalted."

Suddenly the ground around Arthuria became covered in blood as everyone saw [True] Excalibur begin to glow with a radiant gold light blade to the twisted holy sword in front of them. All, even the Devils, felt safe at the light of what could could not be anything but a holy sword...

"You know it's kind of poetic, don't you think?" smirked Arthuria as the golden light surrounding her blade grew. "Arthuria, the King of Knights, trying to prevent a war while the so called descendant of the King of Knights is trying to start one."

Arthur's only response was to growl furiously as Excalibur's black glow increased until it had formed the shape of a massive sword made of black energy, purple lightning arcing around him as black flames formed a circle surrounding the descendant. The Devil's watching the two fighters started sweating as they felt the amount of Holy energy massing in the Holy sword and yet…as they looked over to Arthuria they were shocked that her blade was matching its power and even surpassing it.

"Sword Of Promised Victory…" both Arthur and Arthuria said in kind as the very earth began shaking from the forces now swirling around the two fighters.

"…EXCALIBUR!" shouted the King of Knights , unleashing a wave of golden light towards her opponent.

"…Excalibur Morgan!" snarled the descendant and a torrent of black flames rushed forward to meet this oncoming attack.

And so the earth shuddered as the two powerful weapons clashed once again and the past began to repeat itself, as if the very memory of the Battle of Camlann had scared the world itself. On one side a deep darkness of black flames consuming everything it touched in its mad dash towards its prey, not even light escaping its wrath. Deep within the writhing darkness they all felt it, the anger, the hate, the twisted and corrupt power swirling around them.

What possible power could even hope to match, let alone beat this horrifying mockery of a legend before them?

Indeed, it should have been impossible and yet…

As they looked at the other side a small fragment of hope began to grow within them as they saw the crimson light rushing to meet its foe. The bloodied ground around Arthuria growing outwards as the golden light continued glowing brighter until it eclipsed even the light from the moon, bathing the surroundings in its holy glow.

And so the deep darkness and bright light clashed with a loud booming as each sought to dominate the other with their power. The heat was astronomical as the black torrent of flames and golden holy light battled each other, making the nearby plants spontaneously catch alight and metal to melt as shockwaves of heat and energy blasted the observers off their feet.

Yet despite these distractions neither of the two fighters removed their gaze from the other as they continued to flood more power into their respective weapons, even as the earth beneath their feet began to break apart. There were no words exchanged between them, no insults or boasts, just mirrored expressions of determination on both their faces as the two forces tried to break the stalemate.

However, what little hope the observers had now kindled was destroyed as they watched [True] Excalibur gold light slowly get push back bit by bit. The Knight being forced back a step as her Battle Continuation was finally unable to fight off the exhaustion from all the fights of the past two days. Suddenly there was an explosion of black as Excalibur's black torrent overwhelmed the weakening power of [True] Excalibur, the dark flames rushing to her.

She smirked… they seemed to have forgotten about the trump card she had in life.

"Avalon: The Everdistant Utopia" she said.

Its function as a Noble Phantasm is an "absolute defense" that completely shields its user in the domain of fairies, Avalon, the unreachable utopia that she dreamed of and was said to have gone to after her death. It is the greatest protection in the world that goes beyond defending or reflecting, completely isolating its user in a world completely separate from the regular world. The scabbard dissipated into countless tiny particles in the air and engulfed the user to become a "portable fortress" that shuts out all interference. It is the Bounded Field of the tranquil domain of fairies that keeps out all filth from the outside world, and allows nothing to harm the tranquil King that stands in the land of Avalon. The individual is shielded from all destructive interference in the physical realm, transliners from parallel worlds, and multidimensional communication as far as the sixth dimension. It is on the level of true magic, an actual true magic in itself, that transcends all magecraft, and not even the Five Magics can overcome the barrier.

As the black glow died down they all saw Arthuria completely unscathed and regenerated… as all the wounds on her had disappeared "That's some powerful counterfeit you got there, but my sword would have killed me in one hit, but it seems that your mind has forgotten about it… if you my desendant or even the container of my soul you would have remember this sheath. I guess it's time to step this up a notch," grinned the Knight as she gotten her second wind..

Suddenly Arthuria's eyes seemed to gain draconic slits before they started glowing a bright green as the green gems soon followed suite. The knight's teeth seemed to become almost fang like as she gained a toothy grin on her face, excitement and blood lust beginning to leak off her in increasing amounts, the green glow around her growing brighter with every second.

"Did you know? The story of the Pendragon family and the Red Dragon?" she growled, softly.

There was silence as the ethereal creature began to seep out of the gems and form around the knight, the observers could only gasp in silent shock as the red ghostly dragon glared down at Arthur. Snapping out of his daze the descendant quickly flooded power into Excalibur, once again being consumed in its black glow as [True] Excalibur began doing the same.

"dragons are some of the most powerful beings to ever have existed and had been fighting each other for as long as either could remember. One day their fight leads them to Britain where they were tricked into napping by the mortals and trapped within the earth, never to bother others again. Or so they thought," smirked the knight, her voice easily piercing the sound of the raging energies from both Excaliburs, even as the crimson dragon roared in fury.

There was silence around the battlefield as the observers just watched the dragon grow to the size of the school building as the slowly circled Arthuria, appearing to be almost be swimming in the air as it gracefully flowed around the battlefield. The dragon destroyed nearby structures and knocking many off their feet.

"Then one day a King wanted to build a castle on the very land which the dragon was buried, only to find his castle destroyed every night. Desperate he sought the help of a child named Merlin who told the King to dug up the land around him, freeing the trapped dragon to continue his rampage," continued Mordred.

"Uther ordered Merlin to grant his successor the factor of the dragon. She was born as the holder of the [Element of the Red Dragon] who carries the blood and very magical power of a phantasm beast in a human body, granting her a heart and unique Magic Circuits that transcend what can be achieved by normal humans and magi. Her Circuits are called a Magic Core, which is fundamentally different from those of a normal magus. While a magus' body can be considered a machine which creates magical energy, hers acts as a factory which creates magical energy. It functions as an enormous magical energy core with tremendous capacity that generates energy independent from her body simply through breathing like dragons… and because of it… I am now able to create this" she said.

Suddenly the dragon stopped as it slowly turned to the still form of Arthur and his black Excalibur and gave another ear shattering roar. "By right of Blood and the name Pendragon, with the belief of the people and the memories of the Dragon stored inside me to give you form. I call upon you now Ddraig...Open the doors of the kingdom and defend the innocents! Camelot: Knights of the Round table" shouted Arthuria.

Then around her a castle appeared and opened the gate, from there people begun to form rank and file.

Bedwyr... Lancelot in his prime, Gawain before his disgrace with Bertilak, Dagonet, sir Ector, sir Galahad…. Every knight loyal to her and her cause was now present.
All took a knee to salute their one true king.

They all surrounded the wounded as Galahad placed his shield on the ground.

"Lord Camelot: Fortress of the Distant Utopia" he exclaimed.

He formed a powerful defense around the wounded as they tended their wounds

"Lady Le fay… it seems time has done good to your soul and heart, smiled Galahad"

Lancelot stared at Arthur… his hand clenching tight.

Lancelot rushed and struck him with his sword Arondight causing a wound most serious and then punching him in the face sending him several yards away.

Arthur rolled on the ground as he was launched away, tumbling unceremoniously as he then used Excalibur to stop himself.

And then Arthur charged.

All the knight's then attacked and vanished after they got in a hit on him filling him with many wounds.

Yet… Gawain rushed in with the sister sword of Excalibur… Excalibur Galatine.

"You are a disgrace… to think my desendant would think himself the true king and even use that name…" he said as he slammed Arthur with the flat of his sword, sending him into the the ground.

"I AM DESENDANT OF ARTHUR! HIS BLOOD FLOWS TROUGH MY VEINS! SHUT UP YOU STUPID KNIGHTS!" he yelled as they ansll vanished.

"I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL!" he yelled as he once again charged his sword…. A crazed look in his eyes and the dark power swelling up.

*play music Sword of Promised Victory (Fate zero OST)*

"HAMMER OF THE VILE KING: EXCALIBUR/MORGANA" he yelled AS a sword made of pure darkness fell.

"Sword of Promised Victory: Excalibur!" Arthuria yelled.

Arthur's eyes widened at this sudden reversal of fortunes as Excalibur's flames were pushed back by the increasing power of [true] Excalibur golden light…then he saw it…

As the light pushed through his darkness he could have sworn that, just before he was consumed by it, he saw the light form into the shape of the Red Dragon enveloped in a golden aura, its jaw open wide to engulf him. The descendant quickly brought Excalibur up to stab the dragon, the blade giving off another black glow as it met the Red Dragon.

However it's brilliant pure golden glow slowly encroaching upon the darkness and paving the way for the Red Dragon. The dragon surrounded the descendant whom was beginning to gain a shocked expression on his face.

To the observers it looked it a black hole was surrounded by a raging ethereal dragon that was moving slowly constricting both it and its wielder. For a moment there was silence as everyone watched with baited breath, realizing this would be the deciding moment.

Suddenly both Arthuri and the dragon gave a roar as the knight's skin began to change, almost resembling scales as the green glow in her gems and eyes increased in power. The Red Dragon then grew in power as its jaw closed around the shrinking sphere of darkness and there was an explosion of light that blinded everyone and knocked them off their feet.

As the light died down everyone saw Arthuria along with [True] Excalibur standing tall and proud as the green glow in her eyes and gems disappeared, her teeth and skin back to normal and her sword returned to its normal, invisble form. The ethereal dragon once again gracefully flying around her as the sun began peeking out over the horizon and bathed them in its light. There was a deep silence as everyone stared at the dragon, no wind, no animals calling, just a deep silence as if the very world itself was in shock at seeing the Red Dragon working together with her.

In contrast to all this, Arthur was sprawled across the ground, Excalibur laying in pieces all around him as the sickening yellow from his eyes disappeared and he groaned. Seeing this Arthuria looked over to the downed descendant as the dragon slowly seeped back into the gems in her armour.

"Pathetic, the real Excalibur, the one given to me by 'The lady of the lake' would never have shattered like that," scoffed Arthuria as she walked over to Arthur, whom was gradually coming to his senses.

The Knight ignored him as she examined the fragments of the broken blade in front of her, "so this really is all that's left of this blade? The Church really did desecrate it; how dare they use these pieces to make mockeries of Excalibur"

With a growl Arthuria then picked up the fragments of the blade in her hand…before squeezing…

No one said a word as they watched in shock as the last remaining fragments of Excalibur, the Sword of Promised Victory, was destroyed… breaking as fine glass hit by a Warhammer. Ending the legend of the most powerful Holy Sword once and for all as the knight opened her hand to reveal the fragments to be nothing but dust as they where scattered to the 4 winds.

"Rest easy, our blade shall be desecrated no longer," whispered Arthuria as she watched the dust get carried away by a gust of wind.

The knight then turned to face Arthur whom was getting to his feet, clutching his head in pain before the descendant's eyes came upon Le Fay's and an expression of horror crossed his face. "Le Fay…oh God, what have I done? Le Fay please wake up!" begged Arthur as he rushed over to his sister's side, not seeming to care about the weight of a sword that was placed upon his neck.

"She's unconcious due to shook, now yield," demanded a female voice as Arthur glanced up to see the True King of Knights holding [True] Excalibur (sheathed on the Bounded Field of the Wind King) against his throat.

"NO! Wake up Le Fay, wake up!" Arthur yelled as he frantically shook his sister's body,

Suddenly Arthur felt the sword being removed from his neck before an armoured fist went sailing into his face, knocking the descendant to the ground as his glasses fell of his face. "I said she is unconcious! You do not deserve her sacrifice by losing control of yourself once again!" snarled the Knight as she again readied another punch.

"Now yield!" she demanded, glaring at Arthur in fury that eventually evolved into sadness as she stared at the crying descendant.

Arthuria finally lowered her sword, realizing there was no need for it as she picked up Arthur's glasses off the ground and offered them to the despairing descendant. Arthur briefly looked up to the knight as she held out his glasses before hesitantly taking them from her.

"compose yourself… even if you are not my desendant, you two are still brother and sister… you are lucky, my sister only cared about making me fall… yours was ready to die for you" Arthuria said.

"Thank you," muttered the descendant softly as he stood over Le Fay's body.

"You do realize all of this will have to be reported...right? This fight has been undoubtly felt even in the Underworld, plus the fact that Excalibur was used… and all of this… you and your sister will be hunted down… I can't do anything about you… this has been too public, however your sister can be spared," interrupted a female voice.

Arthuria's eyes widened as she saw Rias approach them and turned to face Arthur as she held out her Bishop piece to him. "I believe you know what this is?" she asked, causing both their eyes to widen.

"An Evil Piece," replied Arthuria with a frown before turning to Arthur. "The choice is yours's, just make sure you don't regret it."

'I should say no, after all this will provide a massive security leak for Khaos Brigade, and even if she is revived they might send assassins after her. Not to mention she'd become a slave of the Devils…but out of all the Pillars, the Gremory do have a reputation for treating their servants like family,' debated the descendant.

"Rias… a moment if you will?" Arthuria said as Rias blinked, how this woman know her name?

"while your offer is great…. I belive that as a 3rd party I can't would best if I would take my sis…. Lady Le Fay, as a human and once she is awake ask her for her own opinion, to become your bishop or stay as a member of our faction" Arthuria said.

"And what faction are you?" she asked

"Have you no eyes? Who else has the power of the Welsh Dragon?" Arthuria said shrewdly.

Rias was shocked… "Who are you?"

"my name is Arthuria Altria Pendragon, King of Knights...it is a pleasure to meet you personally King of Gremory" she said with an earnest but serious smile.

His inner turmoil must have shown on his face as he saw Rias frown, "I belive that Arthuria is right… buts she can't go back with you, I hope you understand"

Arthur was silent as he looked between the offered chess piece and his sister before sighing, "what do you want in exchange?"

Rias just glared at him, "normally I'd have you join as my new Knight or Pawn but sadly that's not an option this time."

"Why?" questioned Mordred in confusion.

"Le Fay's involvement in this is debacle of your family feud is small and we all saw you nearly kill her when she attempted to stop her brother. Or at least that's what the report shall read, being an heiress has its advantages," smirked the Devil.

"But there is no way I can cover up the damage you caused to everyone, especially with members of the Church watching," whispered Rias, softly to Arthur as she glanced at Xenovia whom was occupied by helping her friend Irina.

"I see, so then what's your payment then?" asked Arthur with a sigh.

A hardened expression appeared on the heiress' face, "simple, once I make her a Devil or she decides to stay with Arthuria then you will not attempt to see her, you will not attempt talk to her, you will not attempt to visit her, you will not be allowed to have any form of communication with her at all, she was shocked that the brother she loved and cared for was about to kill her"

Arthur's expression became a textbook definition of horror as he stared at the Devil, meanwhile Arthuria had a surprised look on her face before her eyes narrowed. "You would separate him from his family? You truly are a Devil aren't you?" growled the King of Knights in a disapproving tone.

Rias turned to face the knight, "would you rather he leaves without being punished? After what he has done?"

"No," admitted Arthuria "But in that case there is no need to bring his sister into this."

"She is a good magician and I'm in need of new peerage members, but I will not have one that will stab us in the back. However, if her brother agreed to let me turn her, or join your faction, that should ensure her loyalty," replied Rias.

"I see" was all she said

"Do it," interrupted Arthur as he stood up from the ground. "Once she wakes up and takes her desision I swear that I shall never even come near her again, just…promise me that she will be looked after."

"I swear as a member of the Gremory Household that I will take care of her as if she was my own sister," promised Rias, as her expression softened slightly.

"Upon my sword and in the name of my loyal knight's I so swear… she will be cared for as I would my own" Arthuria said.

Arthur got up and stepped away from Le Fay's

Xenovia approached them shortly after and quickly glanced at Le Fay's breathing body but said nothing as she turned to all of them. "Now what to do with you," muttered Xenovia as she pointed Durandal at Arthur.

"I'll deal with him," announced Arthuria, making everyone spin to face her in surprise as the knight stood between them and Arthur.

"You?" repeated Sona as she approached them.

"I'll take him back to the Pendragon family, I wish to deal with this issue personally. I'm sure you can understand," elaborated the Knight, making Arthur's eye widen slightly.

"This man just tried to assassinate two heiresses of the 72 Pillar's Clans and plunge the supernatural world into another war. You expect us to just let you take him?" scoffed the Sitri heiress.

"The Church would definitely want to interrogate him," agreed Xenovia with a frown.

"Then Devils and Church members can be present during the Pendragon interrogation, just inform the Pendragon family to organize it, provided of course that they keep everything at a need to know basis," replied Arthuria, causing Arthur blink in surprise.

"That sounds reasonable," muttered Sona as both Rias and Xenovia nodded in agreement, again surprising the descendant as he looked at all of them.

"Wait, where's Issei?! He was supposed to be fighting Kokabiel!" cried Irina, making everyone freeze and Arthur frowned as he heard Arthuria begin cursing softly.

"Don't worry...he's fine, I passed him on the way here. He's unconscious from exhaustion but I suppose that's to be expected from a human killing a leader of the Grigori," replied the King of Knights, and everyone could hear a pin drop as they tried to comprehend what she just said.

"Issei…managed to kill Kokabiel?" repeated Rias in shock, remembering the power of the Fallen Angel and causing Arthuria to nod before she grabbed Arthur and began walking him down the streets.

"Don't forget Caliburn," reminded Irina stopping them both as she tried to pull the sword out of the earth, only to no avail as the sword refused to budge.

Arthuria seemed to freeze as she stared at the sword before everyone heard a deep breath as the knight approached Caliburn. The knight took another deep breath before she grasped the sword and pulled, only to stumble at the lack of resistance as the blade easily slide out of the earth. She said nothing as she just stared at Caliburn as if in shock before shaking her head and sheathing the blade.

"Alright, come with me," she ordered and everyone watched as the two of them began walking away.

"One moment please," replied Arthur as he walked over to his little sister. "Goodbye Le Fay, I'm sorry," he whispered, softly and placed his hands over her chest.

There was silence as Arthur and Arthuria disappeared behind some of the numerous rubble and debris scattered across the battlefield. "How are we going to cover this up?" sighed Sona as she took in the carnage.

"We'll think of something, first let's get her to the clubroom, and can someone check on Koneko, she still hasn't woken up," frowned Rias.

Suddenly Irina ran towards them, "we need to find Issei! He could be injured!"

Everyone blinked as they'd realized the exorcist had a point, and if Scáthach found out he'd been injured helping them…

They all shuddered in fear before spreading out to find him, "Asia take Le Fay to the club room and heal her, we'll be there after we've found Issei."

Asia nodded at Rias' orders and the former nun was quickly abandoned as the search for the missing teen began. No one noticing the strains of corrupt and decaying black appearing in the usual white hair of the former Nekoshou.

Elsewhere

"So you work for the Pendragon family huh? Odd, I don't remember seeing you there," pointed out Arthur with a small smirk, once they were out of hearing range of the Devils.

"A little white lie never hurt anyone," replied Arthuria in amusement as she let go of him and Arthur shook his head in disbelief as he turned to face her.

The descendant then frowned, "it will once the Devils and the Church ask the Pendragon family about us. The King of Knights capturing the false descendant of the King of Knights, destroying a reformed Excalibur and its fragments, and all supposedly happening under their orders."

"I'm just sad that I won't be able to see their faces," laughed Arthuria.

"Just take care Arthuria, the Pendragon family is anything but noble in this day and age. They won't take this lying down and that's not including how the Devils and Church will react," warned Arthur, as the pair approached the Kuoh park.

"Humph, I'd like to see them try anything. After all it's not just me they'll be fighting, my new family will never lose to anyone," announced the Knight in pride.

There was silence between the two Pendragons as Arthur glanced up at the sky, "Arthuria…you're not a descendant, are you?"

The King of Knights froze before she silently turned to face him, "now what gave you that idea?"

Arthur gained a dark expression as he replied, "when I wielded Ex- that blade, I saw things. Memories. Not only that but there was no way the blade would react like that to a mere descendant. Most of all though, you never introduced yourself as a descendant and you called yourself the once and future king. Who are you? Really?"

"I am Arthuria Altria Pendragon, King of Knights and rightful heir to the throne of Britain, the wielder of Excalibur and the sheath Avalon...make of that what you will," replied Arthuria.

"I see," murmured Arthur in satisfaction. "So what happens to me now?"

"That depends on you, will you continue to try and kill the heiresses or reforge that mockery you call Excalibur?" questioned the knight.

"No that ship has long since sailed, I want nothing more to do with that accursed blade," growled the descendant.

Arthuria just nodded as she held Caliburn out to him, "then you're free to go."

Arthur had an expression of shock on her face as he just stared at her before looking down at the offered blade and shaking his head with a smile. "Keep it, you're more worthy of that blade than I am," he replied, pushing Caliburn back towards her.

She sighed "I lost Caliburn many years ago when I lost sight of myself… even then…. This is not it… it is a beautiful sword but it is not mine"

"Arthuria…I know I have no right to ask this but…can you do me a favour?" begged Arthur, snapping the knight from her daze.

"That depends on what it is," replied Arthuria as she sheathed Caliburn.

Arthur bowed his head, causing Arthuria to back away slightly in surprise, "could you give my sister a message for me?"

Arthuria's l only response was to unsheathe Caliburn again before swinging the blade in a downwards stroke as a portal formed. "Tell her yourself," she replied as she dragged him through the portal.

The duo found themselves in the remains of the ORC clubroom with Le Fay lying down on the couch, her chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. "Different from the Caliburn I know but powerful none the less," she muttered as she examined the sword.

Arthur ignored her as he approached his unconscious sister and tears rolled down his face as he saw her peaceful expression, her witch's hat still clutched tightly against her chest. "She's been healed," he smiled, joyfully.

"Asia most likely, Twilight Healing is more than powerful enough to heal her," mused Mordred behind him.

"You sure do know a lot about the nun," replied Arthur.

She just shrugged, "I've worked with her before."

Suddenly Arthur felt something jab him in the side and turned to see Arthuria holding a pencil and notebook out to him.

"Hurry up and write your message, we don't want the Devil's to catch us here," she ordered, getting a nod from him as he began writing one final message for his sister.

"Before I do that, could you take me to our old hideout? There's something I need to give her," requested Arthur, getting a shrug from her as she created another portal.

As they stepped through it the pair found themselves in Le Fay's old room and Mordred watched as she saw Arthur walked over to the bed before picking up an object. Turning back to her, the descendant clutched the item close as he approached the desk. Arthur was silent as he then stared at the blank notebook in front of him and began writing, tears welling up in his eyes as he finished.

Arthuria didn't say anything as he nodded and once again the portal formed as they went back to the ORC clubroom. Sighing Arthur looked down at the witch's hat he'd grabbed before placing the notebook inside it as he gave Le Fay's hand one last squeeze before approaching Arthuria who created another portal and the pair disappeared, arriving back in the park. Arthur sighed in relief as he turned to thank her and saw the King of Knights once again sheathing the glowing Caliburn.

" Can I ask you a question? You don't work for the Pendragon family so tell me, who do you really work for?" asked the descendant, curiously.

The King of Knights was silent for a moment as if listening to something before she nodded, "I suppose you can know. My new family and I work for the Sekiryuutei."

Arthur was silent as his eyes widened before he burst into laughter, "I guess it is true, the more things change the more they stay the same."

The descendant then turned to leave, only to stop as he heard her speak up, "hey, Gawain's descendant, catch!"

Arthur spun around and saw the sheathed Caliburn sailing straight towards him and only just managed to catch it before the weapon hit him in the head. The descendant looked down at the sword in his hands with confusion before turning to see Arthuria beginning to walk away.

"I don't need it, I have the only sword I need right here, besides that's not the my Caliburn," stated the knight as she gave her sheathed her sword and gave it an affectionate pat. "Make sure the next time we meet that you live up to your name and your real blood, the sword chose you for a reason after all… maybe you have the potential to be a king… a better king than I ever was"

The descendant just nodded, "I look forward to the day our blades can clash once more, take care Arthuria. Next time I will make you use your full power."

"You could tell?" came the knight's amused voice. "The day you can fight me in that state is the day that you truly earn your name."

"Then the next time we meet you'll be calling me by my name," replied the descendant in determination.

"Keep dreaming," replied Arthuria with a dismissive wave as the Pendragon member turned and walked away. "And don't worry about your sister, I'll make sure Issei keeps watch over her."

Arthur had a grateful smile on his face as he turned and followed her lead before he saw a flash of white in the corner of his vison and heard something descend upon him from above.

"Making new friends Arthur?" asked an amused male voice.

The descendant turned to see a familiar figure emerged from the tree line, "Vali? What are you doing here?"

"Azazel ordered me to follow Kokabiel after he left during the meeting," answered the Hakuryuukou.

"So you saw Cu Chulainn's descendant fight off Kokabiel?" questioned Arthur.

"That's not all I saw," muttered Vali as he thought back to Issei's transformation.

'How did he do that? One minute he was there and the next he was replaced by that Knight,' pondered the Hakuryuukou.

[Vali…]

Upon hearing Albion, Vali was snapped out of his thoughts, 'what is it Albion?'

[That Red Dragon we saw…no never mind I must be mistaken.]

The Hakuryuukou blinked upon hearing the dragon's hesitant and unsure voice, when was the last time Albion had ever spoken like that? 'Never,' realized Vali as his frown deepened, what could cause the Vanishing Dragon, one of the strongest dragons in the world to act like that.

"Vali are you okay?" frowned Arthur, forcing the Hakuryuukou back to the present.

"I'm fine, come on Arthur I have some things I wish to speak to you about," replied Vali as he turned around and walked away.

"please… don't call me Arthu" He said.

Vali turned to him questioning him about this.

"I learned a lot on this fight… and learned about myself… my name… no… the name I used was given to me as a placeholder… no… I should use the name of my real ancestor… until I earn 'that name' I will go by my ancestor's name" Arthur said.

"And that is?" Vali asked.

"Gawain…." Arthur said with a kind smile… a sad smile.

Elsewhere

Issei sighed as he walked down the streets, still in Arthuria's form, not wanting to change back least he still had followers observing him. 'Are you sure you are okay?That was a real emotional battle… the descendant of your cousin… and all that?' he asked.

{I'm sure, that's not the Caliburn I was bestowed to…and besides it's like you said, 'I need to stop chasing after the past}

[Be that as it may, was it really such a wise idea to let him go? He could still do quite some damage.]

{He was being manipulated by that mockery of a sword to kill his family members, I understand how he is feeling. That's why I let him go, being forced to never see his sister again is punishment enough.}

Issei blinked in surprise for a minute before a small smile crept along his female face, 'you really thought this through. I'm proud of you.'

{O-of course, what else could you expect from the King of knights.}

Issei just laughed at the knight's flustered tones before he heard the sulking voice of Ddraig muttering something in the background of his mind. 'You say something Ddraig?' asked Issei, getting a sigh from the dragon.

{Regardless, what are we going to do about your house, it was heavily damaged by Artemis remember?}

'Apparently, Scáthach has something planned,' replied Issei, getting scoffs from both Arthuria and Ddraig.

[As long as we're not staying the night in the Land of Shadows again I'll be happy.]

{Agreed. I don't know how Lancer could stand it there.}

'Nah she said since I'm considered a descendant of Cu Chulainn that she had a surprise for me...what was its name? Dún Delga?' replied Issei as he took one last look around their surroundings before exiting the install state.

Whatever the case he was just looking forward to a good night's sleep for a change, which sadly was not going to be very often afterwards since Lugh would be arriving tomorrow for the interrogation of the Greeks.

Countryside, Cornwall, England

The head of the Pendragon family growled as he tore the piece of paper in front of him to pieces before turning to face the other Pendragon leaders, "so does someone want to tell me how all this happened?!"

There was silence as everyone refused to meet his gaze, causing the head of the family to sigh tiredly as he rubbed his temples. "Very well then, can someone explain why Arthur decided to work with Kokabiel? Or how this… girl claims to be the real king Arthur and get her hands on a sword just as if not stronger than Excalibur?" he asked.

One of the branch members stood up, "Obviously she had studied the blades legend and managed to get someone to do it… however I am at at loss at who could do it, only God could make such as powerful sword"

"We also have to discuss about what happened in the underground caverns" another man said

The head of the Pendragon family frowned, "what do you mean Uther?"

The blonde man looked at the head leader in the eyes as he replied, "The portrait of Guinevere… the glow from the lake… is this all just coincidence or..."

Again there was a deep silence from the leaders present as they all silently began to digest what Uther had just proposed with varying expressions, none of them good. "Regardless of that… it can't be… his soul was destroyed so he will not come back in at container as did Joahn du Arch… nor are there any descendants of his we made sure of it by killing any child that had a drop of his blood… his blade is locked underneath the Black Lake...shielded from anyone and anything. However this… Arthuria even had Avalon… it could be a fake or….," the head of the family said.

"The real question is how are we going to deal with them? Which leads me to my next topic, Uther I want you to hunt them both down. It's the only way we're going to appease the Church and Devils," he ordered, getting shocked expressions from everyone present.

"Why are you asking me, a member of one of the branch families, to recapture them?" asked Uther with a frown.

The head of the Pendragon family just sighed, "because after Arthur, you are the best fighter we have, you're the only one with a chance to recapture them."

Uther's frown deepened, "you expect me to capture both the so called real king and Arthur by myself? Are you mad? They have both Excalibur and Caliburn on their side, there is no way I can win."

A smile appeared on the leader of the Pendragon family as he held a large wooden box out to Uther, getting gasps from most of the older members present. "Caliburn isn't the only relic we have…nor is it the strongest," grinned the older man as he opened the box.

Uther gasped as he saw the weapon, "is that…"

"Indeed, and if you succeed then the relic is yours," promised the Head of the Pendragon family. "After all, what better weapon to bring down both of them than this?"

Uther was silent for a couple of seconds before he gripped the lance and nodded, "alright I'll do it. So what's my next move?"

"For now just focus on training with the weapon, once those two raise their heads again…we will send for you," instructed the older male.

"Understood," nodded Uther in understanding as he saluted the main branch member.

2 days later

Le Fay had, after hearing what happened, locked herself… unable to comprehend what had happened… as well as pondering her options.

"How's our guest with her dilemma ?" asked Rias, looking at Akeno.

"Not very well," admitted the Queen as a sigh escaped her throat. "She doesn't seem to want to be near us right now, we should be thankful Issei offered to take care of her until things settled down. I don't think either her or Kiba would accept living near each other, at least until they get to know each other."

"I see, well that's fine. We both know Issei is a good person, so Le Fay is in good hands, at least until we can get a proper alias for her. Besides the more we have him taking care of her, the closer ties we'll get with him and his faction," sighed Rias, before turning to the unmoving form of Koneko.

"Buchou, she still hasn't woken up yet and it's been 2 whole days," muttered the Queen in a worried tone.

"I know Akeno, but you heard what happened from Kiba, that was Senjutsu. Unless you secretly became a master of that form of power without telling me then there is nothing we can do," replied the Gremory heiress.

"We could ask around for a well-known user of Senjutsu for help," argued Akeno, getting a shake from Rias.

"We do that and we're announcing to the whole Underworld that Koneko's become dangerous, and remember what happened to Gasper when we did that?" answered the red head. "Besides this might be a problem specific to Nekoshou anyway, so the only person we could ask is currently an SS class Stray Devil."

There was silence between the two before Akeno's eyes widened, "no… there is someone else we could ask, she has already shown that she's able to fight off the effects of Senjutsu."

Rias blinked and nodded in agreement, "I'll ask Issei to arrange a meeting with her, preferable before parent's day. I don't want my brother to find out about Koneko…"

Omake: A magical girl is born!

"so tell me… what's your name?" the wand asked.

"Umm they told me not to talk to strangers" Asia said a bit nervously.

"Ah…. But I am no stranger… I am a wand.. a Mahou shoujo wand… the name is Ruby… nice to meet you" she said extending her stick at her.

She held it… one down.

"oh… you seem to have a pure heart… oh… is there someone you love?" she asked and Asia slightly blushed.

"There IS! Is this him?" she asked showing her a picture of Issei shirtless.

2 down

A bit of blood came from her nose…

"Aiaa…. Let me clean that up" she said wiping off her blood.

3 down

"certified master by blood… contract activated by contact, and the starting key… a maiden's pure love… all checked out with no problems…" Ruby said.

"I… I can't move… why?" Asia thought as she tried to move.

"So let's make this official… state your name once more to make this contract official" Ruby said.

"A… Asia A...Argento" she said with a bit of fear.

"ok then...master registered… I am at your service… not" Ruby said with a smug voice.

A torrent of magic as her clothes dissolved and was surrounded by pink petals...and new clothes forming on her.

"Now then, this power here is prisma trance… compact full open! Expanding connection to alternate realities! The new Kaleido Ruby Prisma Asia! A wonderful transformation! If I do say so myself" Ruby said.

Her clothes had changed… it was pink and white… and had Celtic crosses made of gold on her coattails.

She was shocked at this… it was pretty and cute… but….

"wh… what happened? My clothes… what?" she said in shock.

"uh? Asia? What happened? I felt a sudden appearance magical power around the area" Scáthach asked as she came rushing in.

She then took a look at Asia and her outfit…

"what is going on?" she asked.

"I am Ruby and Asia Argento is my new master…" Ruby said.

"Asia… leave that stick down…" Scáthach said as she tried to make sense of what happened.

She did so and Ruby shot a beam of supeconcentrated Prana at her.

"This is what Asia says…'I will not leave my stick alone you old hag'" Ruby said.

Asia was I'm shock. "R...Rbu?! What? No… I didn't" she said fumbling with words.

A dark shadow rose from behind Scáthach as her eyes glowed red and made Gae Bolg appear on her hands.

"I see… it seems a certain nun is in need of discipline… I was hopping to train you more… but if you wish to further your education… who am I do deny you… right?" Scáthach said as one of her eyes was twitching.

"Oh my… I seem to have seen this kind of reaction before on someone else" Ruby said with amusement.

Scáthach then rushed towards Asia.

*stab*

Her spear was stopped inches away by a powerful phisical barrier.

"Interesting" she said. She then activated the runes on her clothing and body and vanished from sight.

"Gah!" a femenino yell.

On a nearly destroyed wall Ruby was impaled on it.

"oh my… what a brutish woman you are… no wonder you must be single" Ruby said

Scáthach then smiled.

Elsewhere

Issei shivered, Sétanta shivered and many other alternates of Lancer did the same in unison as they heard yells and screams of mercy and help from somewhere.

It was then when Ruby learned not to mess with the Queen of the Land of Shadows…

Also Asia was slightly traumatized at the sheer violence she witnessed that day.

"Avalon: The Everdistant Utopia" Rank: EX
Type: Barrier
Maximum Number of Targets: 1 (self)

Its function as a Noble Phantasm is an "absolute defense" that completely shields its user in the domain of fairies, Avalon, the unreachable utopia that she dreamed of and was said to have gone to after her death. It is the greatest protection in the world that goes beyond defending or reflecting, completely isolating its user in a world completely separate from the regular world. The scabbard dissipates into countless tiny particles in the air and engulfed the user to become a "portable fortress" that shuts out all interference. It is the Bounded Field of the tranquil domain of fairies that keeps out all filth from the outside world, and allows nothing to harm the tranquil King that stands in the land of Avalon. The individual is shielded from all destructive interference in the physical realm, transliners from parallel worlds, and multidimensional communication as far as the sixth dimension. It is on the level of true magic, an actual true magic in itself, that transcends all magecraft, and not even the Five Magics can overcome the barrier.

Sword of Promised Victory: Excalibur: A++

Type: Anti-unit (when wounded)/anti-fortress
Maximum number of targets: 1 (wounded)-1000

The result of the people's old beliefs of the King of Knights draconic heritage as well as the draconic magical core stored in both Arturia intera
Excalibur is a "sword that amplifies", converting its user's magical energy into offensive power and releasing it. It is a weapon of directive energy that converts the magical energy of the wielder into light by accelerating it with her factor of the dragon, intensifying the kinetic energy by convergence and acceleration, allowing for the use of Divine Spirit-level thaumaturgy. It is an "ultimate killing technique" that releases light holding energy equaling Arthuria's total amount of magical energy from the tip of the blade once the sword is swung. While the result is what looks like a large beam of light, only the tip of the attack, which is a wave of light that can mow through the surface of the Earth, is capable of doing damage, as the beam is the result of the "dislocation" of everything the attack destroys in its path. Even if it is dodged, those in close proximity can still be temporarily distracted by its intensity.

Blessings of the Pendragons: Open the gates of the land of Camelot: A+

Type: Anti-unit /anti-fortress/anti-army
Maximum number of targets: 1-10000

The result of the people's old beliefs of the King of Knights draconic heritage as well as the draconic magical core stored in both Arturia interacting with the familiar power of the Sacred Gear as well as the Third 'True' Magic. This process uses the memories of Ddraig to recreate the dragon that 'Blessed' the Pendragon family line while Heaven's Feel is used to manifest this newly made soul, with same of the power of the original and bound to the will of the user. This process takes much more time and energy to activate when compared to Excalibur or Avalon and often leaves the knight helpless if interrupted partway through the process, however much like the activation energy of a neuron it costs virtually nothing to maintain once summoned. This is because of the Welsh dragon's Boosting power from the Sacred Gear as well as Issei's growing ability with Heaven's Fell influencing the draconic magic core in the user's body, effectively allowing the Noble Phantasm to power itself once activated as if it was a perpetual motion machine. Theoretically this Noble Phantasm does not exist, however Issei's desire to bring a better world managed to create this pseudo Noble Phantasm/Reality Marble by using the basis of Camelot and what it represented... it could be maintained indefinitely at no expense of the wielder, but due to its high activation cost and long activation period it is usually avoided if at all possible due to it being a fake Noble Phantasm made by the childish dreams and prayers of a boy.

It's done! It's finally done! Not a lot of plot but considering this was the fight most of you were waiting for I decided to make it the majority of the chapter. Hopefully the fight itself wasn't too lackluster but I kind of lost my mojo halfway through it, it's because my bday was rather… well… there is no one I know in this country… no friends… I don't have a gf… and is cold as hell… I send my bday alone and went for some pizza at a pizza place close by… I hate my birthdays… they always been the worst for me… even my family treats me like a hired help on my bday… for once I want some damn respect and affection… I don't think that's too much to ask...right?

Now some of you might be wondering why it was so difficult for Issei to beat Arthur and that's simply because of the events of the past few days. Remember Issei had to fight off a Goddess, then Kokabiel, then all of the others. In short, he was already weakened long before he even Installed Saber.
