When Ryuko and I finally started our new school, Ayeka ended up coming along as well and Sasami went to elementary school a few blocks down from ours. Gamagoori drove the four of us most of the way and then we walked the rest of the way. It was on that first day, I two boys riding bikes in the same direction as well. After a second look I discovered one of the two was my cousin Kai and waved only for the other boy to crash his bike and Kai to say "nice to see you cousin. Who are the two girls walking next to you?" I replied to him "the girl with purple hair is our cousin Ayeka and you should know my wife Ryuko. But who is that person that fell and is he okay?" The boy got up and said, "my name is Sena Yamada and I am mostly okay, but I am not sure about my bike." I replied, "we got time so let me take a look at the bike." I then used some magecraft to do a quick fix and asked the two "want to walk the rest of the way with the two of us." The two took up our offer and we walked and talked as we went to school.

After I visited with the Misaki family and left my son with them for safe keeping, I was sucked into Shimosa and learned a family secret while helping Musashi defeat the cursed swords masters. For the next few months, I dealt with the Christmas and Halloween craziness but mostly just prepared for the outside world to further contact us for questioning. It was one of those days a signal was found in Boston in the USA and Da Vinci said "the American branch of the Mage's Association at Miskatonic University is asking for our help with a problem in the area of Salem, we need you to take a team to check that area and discover the problem. The team that came with me consisted of Charles-Henri Sanson, Robin Hood, Medea, Mata Hari and when we made outside Salem a stray servant Nezha joined our group. It wasn't long till arriving in we ran into trouble.
That trouble was young girls seeming to do a kind of ritual then when Medea checked on the ritual, she discovered this area had field weakening all the servants to about half power at the very least. It also made it, so the servants were fuses into human bodies until this singularity is seemingly completed. When the girls spotted us, I came up with the story we were a troupe of performers. Then after that I had to use the servants with me to battle a pack of wolves alerted by the commotion. Then after saving the girls, we earned a place to stay with one of the girls and her uncle. We then learned the man was named Carter Williams with his aunt named Abigail and at the house they had a single slave named Tituba. It was then we made the plan to put on shows while observing the singularity.

It was after school one day, I discovered two messages on my phone and found one from Rin and the other from Washu. I checked the message from Washu because I knew she understood phones more and would be more rational. The message said "I need your help at the lab, I am building your giant robot at. Melty is a must to bring and Okita is a maybe to bring but not needed. Al had been with me, so you don't need to bring her. The address of my location is attached to this message." I then checked to see I needed to go to Arkham city in New England. Then Rin left a rambling phone message saying the American branch of the Mage's Association needed help at with a problem in Salem and they need the Necronomicon and her owner to deal with a problem. Your contact is in the city of Arkham at Miskatonic University his name is Henry Armitage.
With that, I bought three tickets and told Ryuko to take notes for me and that I wasn't sure how long I would be getting home. It took a day to get to the city by plane and after I got to the city of Arkham, I went to Hadou Financial Group to meet Washu and Al. When I talked to Al, she said "the owner of this group is a sixteen your old girl named Ruri Hadou and she is your granddaughter from another timeline. She is also willing to helping Washu build a new Demonbane. It wasn't long till I met Washu and she explained about "the reason I called you is due to a problem in Salem. A strange field is surrounding it and the only thing that can get through is you, Al and whoever you have inside the cockpit of Demonbane kai with you. I don't know what is in the space of Salem, but I know Melty is designed to combat it or more beast class and whatever Kiara's second form. The gods HP Lovecraft wrote of are much worse than the beast of humanities sins and the High servants are close the level of grand servants when combating the Lovecraft pantheon." After that, I met with Rin's contact and learned less than Washu knew but he gave me the same goal to find a way to get the space around Salem open.
After resting in a hotel room Ruri provided, I used my mecha to travel with Al, Okita, Melty and I into the void zone to see a village from colonial America and woodland all around it. After landing in a wooded area, I stepped outside the mecha and discovered a field that seemed to weaken my servants and my own magecraft. I knew I could use hypnosis to help myself blend in, but I knew I needed to find the source soon.

My team split up for a while until going to the town later in the day, our group went to the town hall and put on plays for the people of some of the battles we experienced and events we knew but it felt at some points somebody gave Mashu the words to say. It was that night a witch hunter came and put Tituba to death. It came to the next day, when Medea created a field within the house so the servant could return to spirit form. After that I talked with Sanson and he knew very much about the witch hunter Hopkins. After talking to the hunter, we learned that the dark-skinned woman would be put to death tonight but before that happed, we put on another show and afterwards met Abby's friend Lavinia. This girl was strange with pale white skin and seemed to have a horn and seemed just strange. It came to after the execution that Tituba rose from the dead and we had to put her down for one last time.
It was during that battle; we learned the village was mostly being kept in one place by a ghoul army in the forest, but my servants were able to hold off their attacks. It wasn't much longer, I learned the Medea in our party wasn't the real one but Circe in disguise and the Greek witch revealed, she is stuck in this singularity and needed us to help get out of this place. We tried to put on a play but instead that night we had to fight off more ghouls. But not before trying to learn more about Abby's friend and her family.
It was the next day, we contacted Da Vinci again and passed on information to try and solve our problem. But more problems came when the people turned on Mata Hari, she was even executed but after meeting with Tituba who came back and revealed herself truly as the queen of Sheba or one of the former wives of Solomon. Then we made it to a camp, and she revealed Mata Hari was very much alive. But after getting to the camp, we discovered a new problem the time was being warped within the village. Then we talked to Sheba as she revealed, "there is likely a third caster hiding somewhere in the village or can't be fully summoned. I don't know the details, but this caster hasn't show up yet.
Then came time for the next stage of the plan, we went to the dock and put on a play for the sailors this one was about Circe and Medea's story and then went back to the village to have to fight off hordes of ghouls, ghosts and demons. It was after the battle, we met Carter again and noticed he had a strange cat following him around.

It was after a few days of blending in and seeing all the plays my daughter put on, I noticed a girl with her that I only saw in hologram and few that had to be the demi-servant known as Mashu. But it was my fifth day, switching between blending in and sleeping in the sub space Al contacted me and said, "I can feel the Demon god pillar and something else that feels familiar, but I can't peg it down." I said, "let's go into town and try to figure it out, you don't stand out nearly as much as Melty or Okita can't blend at all due to the field." It didn't take long that I spied a servant or what seemed like a servant killing a man to defend two girls. But he got himself captured. Then at night or what seemed like nearly two days of endless night, a trial went on for the man captured and I watched as things began to get worse until they ended up hanging the servant.
But after that hanging, thing went from bad to worse. The servants started to turn on the people and Al said to me "that blond girl is starting to feel strange. She is building with strange energy. I think she could be the cause of this field or part of it." Then a rock hit the girl and her magical power seemed to explode and she took a form that looked like stereotypical witch but with a keyhole symbol of her forehead. It was after that Melty contacted me telepathically saying "that energy seemed to trigger something inside of the robot. I saw a smaller robot come out and fly to what I guess was the location." With that a strange female shaped robot landed in front of me and said "my name is Magus Aegis Elizabeth Channel or Mecha Eli-chan alter ego of Elizabeth Báthory using the gods Thor and Hera as base to combat extra dimensional treats of the Foreigner class. I will defend you master." She then teamed up with Ritsuko's servants to help suppress the witch girl while the men dragged my daughter away. I then tracked her servants silently to meet with them and prepare to save my daughter.

After I came to, I noticed I was in a cell with Circe and played with her a bit until Carter came to see us for thanks. But then revealed he was the demon god pillar we were looking for. But he also revealed his plan to try and us Abby to erase mankind or remake it like Goetia wanted to. But with all the man's double speak I could barely tell what he wanted to do but force Abby to go insane.

When I finally found the camp, I introduced myself as Ritsuko's father from a world and time in the past. Then I explained how the epics of remnant were partly set up by Z to try and kill me and my family. Then mecha Eli-chan explained what she was and how Washu created her and after that my other servants arrived and the lavender haired girl in the group introduced herself as Mashu and Ritsuko's official servant. She then told me "Ritsuko met somebody that looked just like you in a dream like singularity. I think he was using a version of your body, but he was your ancestor, Senji Muramasa." I replied "my grandfather mentioned his second wife was the daughter of a swordsmith but that makes sense with how unlimited blade works manifested it is combination of Muramasa's desires and Avalon fusing within my soul. Do you know what Ritsuko did with her child?" Mashu said "I am not sure, but I know she gave him to a family that a DNA test proved was hers."
After that the albino girl known as Lavinia joined the camp and explained how her family where looking into the outer gods but Al broke in and said "your family were idiots. That is a path to ruin no matter the era." But the girl said, "my family was told to keep looking but had no idea of the ruin part." Then the man in green I knew of as Robin hood from my adventure into CCC asked "Who are outer gods?" I replied "most people believe they are just creations of HP Lovecraft, but it is more he could see into their world and it slowly destroyed his mind and body. After that the albino girl explained her past and how she is a zombie while the servants explained Chaldea and I explained I was working for two different parties. Then Al explained Abby was likely connected to Yog-Sothoth, but she couldn't be sure yet.

It was a little bit later, that my party reunited with me at the courthouse but with them was my father along with three servants and a strange young-looking girl. I watched as the trial soon went crazy and Carter's head turned into a crow. Then after the courtroom turn into ghouls and Abby transformed again, my father's servants joined with mine to stop Abby again and kill all the ghouls. But after that, we discovered the Demon god pillar used Abby to functionally destroy Chaldea itself and then attacked us but the Melty and the servant that stopped Abby teamed up to destroy the demon god pillar as Robin took out Carter's fleeing crow head as in death it said "have fun trying to defeat Abby and the last surprise I saved just in case you joined us Shirou Emiya." My father said, "Did Z tell you about me or give you something?" But the dying crow said, "you will see." But died before saying more but after that, Abby, who seemed to be completely taken over by the evil god tried to break the barrier around the courthouse. After a hard battle, and Lavinia waking up one last time sealed away the evil god.
But before it was done, Abby's tear hit the floor and out of it burst another servant and when I looked at my father's face he seemed to know. The man or the servant said "my class is caster and my name is Aleister Crowley or as the other man before know as …" But father said "Master Therion, how are you alive and here?" but he said "Shirou Emiya or whatever you call yourself now." I was able to be summoned as a due to the actions of Raum and the puppets he brought with him.

After that my now servant form former rival and I battled with our mecha in the sky until mecha Eli-chan merged with Demonbane to help take him down but said to me "Demonbane wont last much longer say what you to pass on then we have to leave." With that, I went back to the outside of the courthouse to see my daughter and the servant bury the albino girl as the body Raum was in got back up and said "my name really isn't Carter Williams it is Randolph Carter or you could call me Chandraputra but I prefer The Gentleman Who Travels Through Time and Space. It is good to meet you Shirou Emiya, but this is really our first meeting.
Before I could correct the man, the ground begins to rumble as he said, "pass what you need to on to your daughter, your time isn't much here, but I can see you on our next meeting." I then told my daughter to get my family to take her child off earth as soon as possible and then I had to leave back to my home with the servants and Demonbane. But we barely made it back to Demonbane's hanger when it broke down and as Washu said "well you must have worked this thing hard. But I promise to rebuild it and even better.

After my father left, we said our goodbyes to Abby and the strange man took to her to places unknown for the world's own safety. But I piece of her joined me at the base as we prepared to face the consequences of what was next to come. It wasn't much longer that we had to wait for the actions of Raum to be brought to heel.
