Chapter 18- Cú's Day & Break In
Earlier that day.
"H-he got King Fionn," Diarmuid stammered out. The two Lancers were outside, hoping that they'd be safe in public and in populated areas. Though they were constantly on guard, they lacked their regular combat attire. Cu Chulainn dressed in a tie dye shirt and black pants, while his Lancer comrade in arms, Diarmuid wore less attention grabbing clothes, only wearing a dark green jacket with a white shirt underneath it.
"Diarmuid, listen. Don't freak out, that's probably what he wants," the blue Lancer said looking around to make sure the Berserker wasn't anywhere near them. "I mean he wouldn't be crazed enough to attack us in the open."
The green Lancer looked at his Celtic brethren. His looked could be translated to "How are you this stupid." The Lancer tried to find words to describe his disappointment.
"Y-you-" the poor Lancer.
"Oh, little dogs, I am," a voice said from behind them. Beowulf wrapped his arms around them both. "Now, who's ready to see the king?"
The two Lancers looked terrified, how could one man cause this kind of this kind of terror, and they both were Servants! They both turned to one another, both not wanting to see what he had done to Fionn.
"Diarmuid, before we die I want to know, I loved you like a brother!" the blue Lancer said to the green. "So it pains me!"
"Pains you to what-" The knight of Fionn asked before having his foot stepped on. "What the hell!" Behind them Beowulf started laughing, letting go of them for a brief moment.
"Run!" the hound yelled as the flash stepped away from the area.
"Wait for me!" The emerald Lancer cried about to do the same as the blue Lancer.
As the Lancer was about to make his escape, something grabbed his hood. "I at least caught one."
"Damn bastard," the Lancer muttered to himself before being hauled off by the Berserker.
"Ready to see your king?" the hunter said with a grin.
/\/\/\/\/\
Cu stopped himself in an alley. Looking around, hoping that the emerald Lancer had followed him.
"Come on, come on," the blue Lancer spoke to him looking out of the alley. "Don't tell me he didn't run!" he couldn't believe it! Not only did his fellow Lancer not make it, the fellow Lancer didn't go with it. Catching your opponent off guard was the key to being an effective warrior, not taking morals into account.
A few moments passed and soon, the realization his fellow Lancer was going to God knows where.
"It'll be okay Setanta, everything will be alright," the Lancer spoke, and since he was using his actual name and not his hound name, he was showing his fear, and only a select few could make him do that, mainly an old ruler of the Land of Shadows.
Suddenly the Servant whipped his head, noticing two things. One a Servant nearby, and two a door opening.
Summoning his spear the Hound of Culain got into a battle stance.
"I am not going to whatever dungeon you're taking me too! Not today! I will live for their sake!" the Lancer yelled.
In front of the Lancer two figures stood in front of him. One a tall woman with long black hair, the other a familiar blonde, both wearing maid uniforms.
"Ah! d'Eon there's a crazy person with a spear!" the one with black haired yelled seeing the Lancer.
Chevalier stopped, putting the box in their hand down. "Lancer, what are you doing?" the French Servant asked.
"S-saber," the Lancer said, letting his spear disappear. "Thank God! I need a place to hide! He got Diarmuid! He got Diarmuid!" Cu Chulainn yelled.
"D'Eon," the black haired girl whispered to the Saber, "You know this guy? Need me to grab the others?"
"No, it's fine, he isn't in trouble," the knight said walking to the Lancer. "Want to come inside, you seem shaken up, want a drink?"
"S-sure," the tie dyed man said walking with the Saber.
"Geez, what happened to get you this scared," d'Eon asked themself as they walked inside. "Hiro! I need you to make some tea, please."
\/\/\/\/\/\/
After the explanation of the disappearance of Fionn and later the kidnapping of Diarmuid, with the staff and d'Eon listening to him. He was still shaking a bit, which to everyone else seemed normal only for the Saber it was an oddity. Another Servant shaking in fear of another.
"So Beowulf is hunting you Celtics?" d'Eon said, while finding it only a little amusing also took it seriously. "Do you know why?"
"I don't know! He just started hunting us! And not even safe out in public!" the blue Lancer yelled.
"Attacking you in public? Why didn't anyone stop him, quirks are prohibited in public," the black haired woman, who was named Aika Suzuki.
"Bold of you to assume he has a quirk," the hound said.
D'Eon nodded, "Beowulf is naturally stronger than those with strength based quirks." The knight's words caused the three others in the room to shiver a bit. "I imagine you didn't fight back because you didn't want to inconvenience Master?"
The blue Lancer modded, "Yeah, if I actually do fight who knows what'll happen to her," he rubbed the back of his head. "I mean, we're only allowed outside if we don't cause any trouble or obstruct the peace." The Saber nodded their head.
"D'Eon, what does he mean by that last part?" the one named Hiro asked, looking at Saber.
Said Saber turned to their male coworker, "You could just say we… can be extremely dangerous and deadly to the point we have to be monitored a great deal," d'Eon didn't like lying, but you don't just out yourself to be a Servant.
The third figure in the room let out a grunt. She was a blonde girl with dark blue eyes, something that was noticeable about her was the pair of dog ears on her head. "Wish we knew that before hand d'Eon," the woman said, she then turned to the fellow dog. "So you basically need a place to hide and somewhere you could fight and not cause trouble for this Master person you both are talking about, am I correct?"
The blue dog nodded to the blonde dog. "Yeah, pretty much. I doubt I could hide for long, he's a pro hunter."
The blonde dog then sighed. "How good are you with people?"
"Well I like to think I have confidence in myself, I fear no man," the dog began to regain his confidence.
"That Beowulf character," the blonde dog stated bluntly.
"And your teacher," d'Eon added.
"Those are not men but beast!" Cu cried.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
Somewhere in the Land of Shadows, Scathach let out a sneeze that echoed the empty land.
"That little shit is talking about me again, I just know it," the Queen of the Land of Shadows glared into the east. "He'll be sorry."
\/\/\/\/\/\/
Cu shivered in his seat, feeling like something had happened that involved him.
"Well good for you not fearing most," the dog girl said, "so want a job? Because we need a waiter and if you have half the confidence you say you do then you could be useful."
The hound raised an eyebrow, a little confused to what was happening. "Why are you offering me this?"
The dog girl growled, "Didn't I make it obvious?! You need a place to fight without breaking the law, so I'm offering you a job here! Are you taking it or not?"
"Um, sure…" to be honest, Cu was a little confused. "Though, I thought you couldn't use your abilities in public."
"Most places are indeed like that," the dog girl said. "But our establishment is a little different."
"That's cause we're a quirk cafe!" Hiro decided to jump in.
The dog girl let out a low growl, "Don't cut me off Ishikawa!" the girl's attention went back to her fellow hound. "But yes, we are a Quirk Cafe, a place that allows our employees to use their quirks within our property and to some extent our customers. We are also allowed to fight and engage in combat with anyone causing trouble."
The girl with the dog based quirk extended her hand, "Name's Yuri Kato, and your name is Cu Chulainn, correct?" the dog nodded his head. "Odd name, but that's fine." The newly named Yuri turned to Hiro, "Go grab a uniform for him, then get back to setting up shop."
"Yes ma'am!" Hiro saluted the dog woman before running off.
"Welcome to the team, Lancer," d'Eon said, extending their hand.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
Back at the Fujimaru residence, Miyuri, Jack, Frankenstein, and surprisingly Dantes outside, laying on the couch reading a book.
The door soon swings open with Beowulf and Diarmuid coming through with the latter being dragged by the collar.
"Hello everyone," the Berserker said with a prideful smirk. "I've caught my prey of the day. Hey that rhymed!"
The Avenger looked at the Berserker and Lancer, taking him away from his book. "Do I even want to know?"
"Are you willing to listen to my epic tal-" The Avenger just picked up his book.
"Yeah, I don't. Now go back to whatever sex dungeon you're taking him to." Immediately Miyuri put a hand over her mouth to cover her laughter. Not expecting to hear something that outrageous.
"You're no fun," pouted the Berserker before walking off with the Lancer.
The four people in the room just stared for a moment before going back to what they were previously doing.
\/\/\/\/\/\/
Back with the U.A. students.
The orange haired girl just poked her food. Izuku, Iida, Ochako, Mash, and now Momo sat by at the same table.
"Fujimaru, I don't see why you're still sulking," Iida said, "Most would love to be in your position."
Ritsuka sent glare to the blue haired male. "Haven't you been listening?! I do not want paperwork! I already have had enough of it since I summoned Servants! I do not like it at all and don't need more!"
"Surely it isn't as bad as you say," Momo tried to sound polite, though this only ticked her off more.
Ritsuka could help but clench her fist. "Fine, you want to know how bad it is, here! I'll show you!"
"Senpai/Ritsuka," Izuku and Mash said softly trying to calm her down.
"No! Let me show you why I hate paperwork!" Ritsuka bent over grabbing her bag which she carried with her. Unzipping said bag she pulled out a stack of papers, "These are the papers to let me use my quirk out in public! Which is B.S. since Magecraft is technically not a quirk and I have to fill this for every Servant!" she then proceeded to grab another stack, "So this is to allow them to go outside since they could potentially destroy a city!" and another. "And finally! This is so if they cause any damage, I'm not responsible!" When Ritsuka was done with her small rant two things had happened. One her backpack became a lot lighter, and two a pretty large stack of papers could be seen on the table.
"Wow…" Ochako said, looking at all the paper.
"Oh, and this one is just very basic information," she said, pulling out a single sheet of paper.
"How long does this take you?" the anti-gravity girl asked. "This would take me forever."
"God, I have no idea, it always varies," the redhead said, "I just need to do the one to allow them to go outside to get them home and basic information."
"Still is impressive," Momo said, talking about the papers now being placed back into the bag.
"I'm still surprised Iida didn't get a class rep, I mean he looks and acts the part, and I'm pretty sure he was obvious on wanting it to," Ritsuka said, taking a bite from her food.
"Wanting the job and being suited are two different things," the youngest Iida replied. "If I had to take anything from my family's agency it'd probably be that."
"Agency?" Ritsuka asked. "Are you perhaps related to any heroes?"
The other three 1-A students looked to the Iida, wondering the answer to the question.
"Well are you aware of the Turbo Hero, Ingenium?" he asked them all, receiving nods from them all, "Well he's my elder brother!" he stated with pride.
"So cool! I can't believe I met another person related to a hero!" Izuku said with excitement.
"That's right, Kyrielight, you're related to Sir Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake," Momo said looking at the lilac haired girl.
Mash nodded, "Yeah, and Senpai is Solomon's daughter."
"Solomon?" Iida asked, "So your parents are the ones who run the Chaldea Agency?"
"Yep!" Ritsuka responded with a proud smile, "And he's the one teaching me in Magecraft!"
"Yeah, I still don't get why you say it technically isn't a quirk," Ochako said.
"I'm also curious what you mean by that," Yaoyorozu said.
"Well-" before the redhead could even start explaining anything with a loud blaring sound.
"Warning: Level Three security breach! All students please evacuate the building in an orderly fashion," a voice announced. All around them students began to run around out.
"What's happening?" Iida asked.
The student next to him turned to face Iida, "It means someone broke in, this hasn't happened in my three years here!" he yelled before getting up and running off.
The 1-A students looked at one another, before getting up to try and leave and get out of the area.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
Just a few minutes prior to the breach the court mage, one loud, risque, and sleepy hero, along with two knights all sat in the same room. Mordred laying on the floor, letting out a groan.
"I'm bored!" she said. As she said that the dried eye teacher kept staring at her, which didn't go unnoticed. "Hey, what do you want?"
Now Aizawa was thinking three things. The first and second was that he found it odd that the son of King Arthur was this easily bored and was in fact a girl. The third was..
"You remind me of a cat," Shota's words made those in the room stop and stared at him. "What? She does."
A small chuckle was heard from the two oldest people in the room, and soon their chuckles turned into full blown hysterics, Bedivere even fell out of his chair dying of laughter.
"Sh-Shota! Oh my goodness!" Bedivere said laughing.
"You two suck!" Mordred yelled at them both. "And how am I like a cat?! I'm a lion!"
"Sure thing, kitty cat," Merlin teased.
"Damn you all!" the knight of rebellion said getting up and going to the door. She left the room with the two ancient heroes dying on the floor laughing.
The knight walked down the hall, feeling her stomach rumble. She decided to look for the lunch room, it should be close by.
"Warning: Level Three security breach. All students please evacuate the building in an orderly fashion," a voice came on, drawing Mordred's attention.
"The hell?" the knight asked herself. "What's going on?"
Soon the door she came from opened with three figures coming out of it, those being Bedivere, Mic, and Eraser Head.
"Hey, what the hell's goin' on here?" Mordred asked them as they walked over in her direction.
"The press," Bedivere said with an annoying groan. "Since the number one hero works here they want to see if they can get anything to say and publish in the news or magazines." The Shining Airgetlam put on a smile which seemed fake, "Mordred drop by the cafeteria, most of the students should be there, make sure they aren't trampling over one another like cattle."
"Surely they won't be like that," the knight said, thinking Bedivere was over exaggerating.
"I've lived a long life, I am not," the knight said walking past her followed by the heroes.
"Fine," scoffed the Saber of Red walked to the cafeteria, hopefully she'd be able to grab some food.
\/\/\/\/\/\/
Mordred had made her way down to the cafeteria and just as Bedivere said, they were close to trampling over one another like cattle.
"Holy crap," she muttered to herself. Deciding it wouldn't be good for her to just be out without her armor, the Knight of Rebellion materialized her mother's gift.
"Yo, everyone! SHUT UP!" she yelled, her voice managing to cut through to everyone. "I was under the impression this was the top school in this country, but I guessed not."
"Shut up! There could be a villain!" someone yelled.
Mordred's eyes twitched. Was this kid really accepted into what was called the top school for heroes? "Oh you got balls now don't ya! Well for you information brat the ones outside aren't villains," Mordred felt ridiculous saying that, "but the press who are being a pain in the ass! Now everyone, settle down and get back to the lunch room!"
Many of the students paused. Not knowing who this was and at the same time not going to argue cause those who are ballsy enough to enter a school filled with Heroes in the making better be strong.
As most of the people were gone now only a few people where there one being a fellow knight and her Master.
"Mordred, that was so cool!" Ritsuka exclaimed with a wide smile on her face. "I mean you were so commanding and awesome!"
"Aw, thanks Master," Mordred, whose normal demeanor was more tomboyish and aggressive, showed a more joyful and kind side to her Master. "Yo, whatcha starin at?" she asked the Shielder.
"Nothing," the knight said with a faint smile. He had to admit, in life when serving for his king he had to admit Mordred was, for lack of better words, more reserved. "Yo, I suggest if you're going to grab food you do it soon, lunch is gonna end in roughly twenty-minutes."
"Shit!" Mordred cussed, "Sorry Master but I'm gonna grab some food. Kay? Kay!"
/\/\/\/\/\/\
Outside the press were being held off by the three heroes, all growing aggravated on both sides.
"All you need to do is give us All Might and a good comment for the record!" one of the reporters demanded.
"He's not here today, we told you this already," Mic said to the reporter.
"We know he's here! Just give him!" another reporter yelled.
Aizawa just rolled his eyes, "We know who you work, give you an inch and you'll want a mile."
As the reporters tried to talk over one another, Mic tried to think of a plan. "You know, they are trespassing, like villains. So we do have authority to use force."
"Mic, you know full well if you want your career as a hero to end if you do that," Bedivere said still with his smile on. "Here's a better plan."
"Listen up everyone!" Bedivere tried to calm the reporter to little effect. "All Might isn't here on campus, and won't be for the rest of the day."
"Great, he's just repeating us," Mic said, "I mean aren't I supposed to be the loud and charismatic one?"
"Just watch, he wouldn't do that," Aizawa said to his load, what was the word? Friend? Sure that'll work.
"But luckily since you all were so nice," that hurt to say, "I will be able to bring you to him, if you all will follow me!"
To the surprise of Mic the reporters actually followed the Shining Airgetlam. You could've sworn that Mic had cracked the concrete floor with how fast his jaw hit the floor.
"He surely isn't going to lead them to him," Aizawa said, raising an eyebrow, "Na, he's probably just stalling for time, the police should be here soon."
"That is so not cool! Why do they listen to him but not us!" Mic complained with his theatrical and over dramatic expressions.
\/\/\/\/\/\/
Back in the Fujimaru residence one English playwright sneezed.
"Don't tell me you're getting sick now?" Anderson said to the other Caster.
"Nonsense! We Heroic Spirits can not get sick, but I feel as if some mysterious force is calling me to someone!" Shakespeare started with his flamboyant personality.
"Something must have gotten in your nose then," the writer brushed him off going back to typing on his tablet.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Shota! Do you feel it?!" Hizashi yelled looking to the left.
"The annoyance I feel whenever I'm next to you or Midnight? Yes," Eraser said putting water drops into his eyes.
"No! Not that, but this feeling of a comrade! Someone is being put down for what they are!" he stated with passion.
"Whatever," Aizawa said. "I'm going to go and grab some sleep."
"You do that," Mic said dismissing Shota looking in the direction of the Fujimaru residence. "Do not fear my comrade, I will help you."
But little did Mic know that these words would be heard. Not by ears of any kind, but by the heart of an equally eccentric man. And their friendship would bloom one day. But that's a story that has yet to happen. Such is Fate.
\/\/\/\/\/\/
After the events of the day two students sat in front of Nezu. The bomber and Master both doing their assigned essays.
Nezu had sat there making sure that they didn't bite each other's heads off. Nezu thought while finding it amusing watching them try to annoy the other with minor things he was bound to get bored.
"Pardon me Fujimaru," Nezu said with his chipper voice, "If you do not mind me asking, which of the Heroic Spirits are you using for this essay?"
Ritsuka smiled, thinking of one of the newest Heroic Spirits. "I'm doing Jack the Ripper," she said with a heart warming smile.
"Jack the Ripper?" Nezu seemed surprised. "But isn't Jack the Ripper an infamous serial killer? And when I met her she was such a small child. How could she be called a Heroic Spirit?"
Ritsuka nodded her head. "I'm not sure how to answer that last one, I'm not entirely sure myself, but Jack's story is such a sad tale."
"Well then I'll be looking forward to reading the reasoning behind the murders of the infamous Jack the Ripper," the rodent, bear, dog thing said, intrigued by the red haired Master.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
Meanwhile inside of the Chaldea agency, something… odd was happening.
"God! Dammit!" Solomon swore, throwing the papers on the ground. "You're saying we can't move any of the equipment from the location?!"
"Well apparently, when you buy land formerly owned by the U.N. you need some sort of license to move such high tech gear from two hundred years ago," Lancelot said in a mocking tone. "I call total B.S!"
"Why didn't you know about this before you bought it?" Da Vinci yelled. "I thought you did your research on this?!"
Meanwhile three people watched the trio yell at one another. Black Jack being one of them, the two was a large man with short red beard and ruby eyes, this was the hero Grimlock, and next to him a smaller woman with long white hair and jade eyes, this was Grimlock's sidekick Barrett M82, or M82 for short.
"Hey, BJ. You know why they are all… like this?" M82 asked, confused looking at the three yelling.
The dealer glared at the sniper themed hero, "What did I say about calling me BJ?"
"The fact you interpret an innocent nickname as something perverted is internally your fault," M82 started with a shrug.
Black Jack just groaned, "Well to answer your question Solomon and boss bought some pre-quirk building owned by the U.N. and are pissed because whatever was there they can not move it."
"Must be tough," the deep voice Russian accent of Grimlock said. "Well no matter, I'm sure they'll find some way to do what they intend! Though I do wonder why they bought such property."
"I think they said it was the original Chaldea, the place we got the name from, though I think it's name was much longer, though I doubt they just bought it for the symbolization," Black Jack said.
"Correct!" the yelling had stopped and Solomon turned his attention to the others in the room. "The place we bought, the original Chaldea, was bought for more than the name reason! It has to do with what lays inside it!"
"And that'd be…" Black Jack asked for them to continue.
"Can't say! You'll have to see it for yourself! Because we're going to the Antarctic!" he said with reformed enthusiasm.
The two sidekicks and the other hero just looked at him like he was crazy. "You bought land in Antarctica? You are aware you're most likely being scammed."
"Oh it is no scam!" Lancelot came over to them. "We have seen it with our own eyes, and we know where it is."
"You two are crazy," M82 sighed. "Do we have to go? I mean, no offence, but I'd rather not freeze to death."
"No but we can assure you, the tech there is like none the world has seen," Da Vinci stated with a smirk. "Besides, the place has quite the history you can't absorb unless you are there in person."
They looked at one another not saying anything but sharing concerned looks.
"If you can guarantee that we'll see something we can't see anywhere else, I'll be willing," said Black Jack.
"I'd need more time to think about it," M82 said, scratching the back of her head. "How long till you go?"
"We have yet to buy any tickets, but we plan to leave in one month at the soonest, so it should be plenty of time," Da Vinci said. "And you?" she asked the Russian man.
"I am with M86, I will need time to think, though I will try and give you an answer as soon as possible," Grimlock said.
"Alright! And do not worry about gear, we'll be able to provide… hopefully," Solomon said. "You know what, we'll get back to you guys on that."
"Very reassuring," Black Jack said with a not so amused voice, "Alright, now if you'll excuse me, I think I'm gonna get changed and head home. For there is a couch with my name on it and I am ordering a pizza."
"Kay! Have fun!" Solomon said, waving her goodbye.
"Okay! Da Vinci! Let's go and see how much those tickets cost!" Romani said walking over to his computer. He was growing excited to walk in familiar grounds again.
\/\/\/\/\/\/
(A/N: AND CUT!
How are you my beautiful people?! I hope well!
Now then, Cu is now working as a waiter, that sounds fun! Dantes finally speaks! And Mordred tells someone to shut up after being called a kitty cat.
Now I want to address the last bit, I'm sure you all know what property Solomon and Lancelot had bought that was located in Antarctica . But I'm sure some people are wondering something about the Chaldea Agency. WHY IS THERE ANOTHER HERO AND NOT ANOTHER SIDEKICK(bringing it to 3 not 2) Well I'll tell you!
In a later chapter! Sorry I want to save that for later. Just know that Chaldea markets itself differently from most agencies.
Now then! Next chapter is the U.S.J. people! Let's go and see the reveal of the Lancer! Only one person was able to guess it!
But now I must say goodbye! I hope you all have a wonderful day!
BYE!~~~~)
