Gathering


Trust: By definition it means a firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something. It can grow when people work together, help one another, or it simply grows with time. It takes a deep bond to create trust, one that usually requires a lot of effort and dedication...


Alien robots of all shapes and sizes, armed undead skeletons and escaped prisoners. They roamed and attacked.

Atlesian Paladins, soldiers and other huntsmen and huntresses. They fought and defended Beacon.

This attack on Beacon was powerful and certainly never seen before. However as the battle dragged on, one side was slowly seeing their favour in the battle.


Team KNPY, Blanc, Kurumi, Natsu, Shido and Nepgear.

Shido carried her sister while Neptune held Yoshino.

After celebrating their win and successfully turning Kotori and Yoshino back to normal, they were suddenly ambushed by alien robots.

Blanc, Nepgear and Plutia held them off fairy well, but they found it very risky. There was a lot of them with too many aiming for Kotori and Yoshino. Luckily for them, several minutes after they were attacked, the Kurumi clones who had left before for some unknown reason, returned to assist.

One of Kurumi clones also come out of nowhere holding an annoyed Natsu who had used all his strength.

The walls in front of them cracked. They stopped.

More enemies came bashing through the walls like a pack of hungry animals. They came in all shapes and sizes. Some were small. others were big, some looked as if their entire head was made of a giant cannon.

Shido looked behind him, enemies were coming, "We're trapped!"

Several Kurumi clones flew up and fired at them, taking out the small ones. However the big ones were unaffected. White Heart flew in, guns blazing, but with hammers. Hitting it like a baseball, White Heart sent one of the giant ones flying through the field.

Neptune felt wind blowing up. She looked and shiver in fear when she saw Iris Heart spinning one of the giant alien robots with her whip before throwing it onto the horde of enemies in front of them, crushing them all.

"This is seriously getting f*cking annoying!" White Heart sweared.

"These emotionless toys are so boring." Iris Heart said in disappointment.

"Everyone! Please stay focus." Sister-Heart begged as she watched the group's back.

Shido watched in amazement, wondering how they could still fight well after such an intense battle. He was starting to believe that the sleepy Plutia, the quirky Neptune and the bad mouthed book girl really were real goddesses.

With the assistance of the Kurumi clones, they flew over the crushed pile of enemies.


Team SKYJ, Tooru, Naruto, and Otonashi.

Tooru held Julie tight in his arms as he ran next to Otonashi who carried Kanade.

As they ran, Yuri would occasionally turn around and fire a few bullets to slow down their chasing enemies. Skeletons were everywhere, holding all sorts of equipment: some held swords or axes, others wore chest plates, or just a helmet.

From time to time, Naruto would use a big chunk of his charging chakra to summon a group of clones to hold the skeletons off which immensely helped with gaining some distance, however, it didn't change the fact that they literally came from everywhere including the ground.

A skeleton's hand poked out and grabbed Otonashi's leg. Yuri swung a rifle and smashed the skeleton's skull.

"Thanks."

"This is going to be a problem if they keep coming out of the ground like that." Yuri stated as she shot several other skeletons in the head.

"I have an idea! Everyone jumped!" Saturn raised her twin wands that emitted ice dust and smashed them on the ground, creating an ice path that the skeletons couldn't break through.

"SWEET!" Naruto exclaimed as he landed first and began skating.

Tooru followed after Naruto, trying to go fast but also careful as he carried his sleeping duo partner.

"W-whoa, hang on, I can't- AAHH!" Otonashi slipped on the ice and almost fell which would have been bad for Kanade's condition. Luckily Yuri was there to catch him and help him balance.

The skeletons tried to chase after but slipped on the ice and fell like dominos.


Team KSYS, Yuuki, Asuna, Levi, Illya and Illyasviel.

There were still escaped prisoners roaming around adding to all the havoc. They had all been ordered to simply attack Beacon and if they survived or didn't get caught, they would receive their freedom. They all still had their collars on which was controlled by the enemy which was why the prisoners followed their orders despite their resistance.

The prisoners varied in skill, some were part time robbers while others were ruthless wanted criminals. A fairly big group of thugs jumped at Team KSYS' group, thinking they were an easy target because of their odd outfits and the fact that had literal children with them.

However they soon regretted their decision as they saw Illyasviel's servant Berserker who ripped through them as if the prisoners were all ants.

Yuuki and Levi paved a way for Kirito who was holding the injured Yu. Their swords skills easily sliced any weapon that the prisoners held. Asuna held Illya, still providing a bit of support with her spells.

"Where did these guys even come from?" Yuuki asked.

"They're from the prison break out that occurred a few days ago," Illyasviel explained, "The point was to add more "variety" to the small fry enemies, at least thats what Jack said."

"Do you think everyone else is in trouble as well?" Asuna asked.

"We won't know till we find them," Shinoa replied, "our coms aren't working after all."

Sinon switched avatars and fired an arrow at a prisoner who almost got Shinoa's back.

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it. Just focus."


Team RWBY, JNPR, SSSN, CFVY, Nathan, Allisa, David, Ashley, and Chelsea.

Chelsea lead the way, bleeding and injured. While Commander Steel's forces were holding off most of the alien robots in the area they were in, several lingering enemies still roamed about.

They were a big group but had many injured. Eight of them could barely move, meaning another eight people had their movements hindered by carrying them. As a result they couldn't travel very fast.

Sun and Neptune carried their own teammates. Coco was able to help Yatsuhasi up. David carried Ashley on his back while Weiss offered Allias her hand, assuming Allisa was a huntress and not an ex-robber. Ren and Nora helped Fox and Yang respectively while Blake gave Vevlet a hand. That only left Chelsea, Nathan, Jaune and Pyrrha to fight off any attacking enemies.

Jaune and Pyrrha supported the injured Chelsea in the front. Nathan, with his shields, defended the rears and the back.

Everyone helped look out for incoming enemies whether it was a skeleton emerging from the ground or a robot smashing through the ceiling. Anyone who had a free hand also assisted by firing with their range weapons. Semblances were also used during times they were able to.

Several skeletons in front of them appeared which were all blasted away by Chelsea who used Nora's grenade launcher. An alien robot, half the size of the hallway, shot missiles and crashed into the hallway from the side. Nathan blocked with his shields, Chelsea destroyed the alien by firing several flaming rocks from Black's cannon. Jaune grew more and more worried, he knew about Black's insane regenerative abilities and yet Chelsea's body was showing no sign of healing. It made him shiver at the thought of how powerful Chelsea's opponent must've been to be able to injure her to this extent.

At this point, Pyrrha began voicing the same concern as Jaune's, "Chelsea! Are you sure you-"

"I'm fine!" Chelsea insisted although her injuries said otherwise.

She would cough viciously from time to time and occasionally even almost trip over nothing. A skeleton jumped at Chelsea who was already occupied with other enemies. Jaune jumped in and blocked the skeleton's swing and sliced it in half.

With her rifle, Pyrrha fired another skeleton in the head that was nearing Chelsea.

Luckily for them, the enemies seemed to be decreasing, allowing them to breathe a little although that didn't mean they stopped.

"Nora!" Called Blake who was near the front of the group, "How's Yang doing?"

Nora, who was struggling a bit with carrying Yang on her back, looked. She must've lost a lot of blood considering the wounds she had. The hammer girl knew it looked bad but didn't know how to phrase it. Ren answered for her.

"Her aura seems to be stabilising her condition slowly but I think she'll be out for a while."

Blake looked forward, a bit relieved but still concerned.

With a smile, Ashley was snoring so softly that only the person carrying her, which was David, could hear her, he chuckled, "She always sleeps the same no matter what huh?"

"Come on Scarlet, don't be such a baby, can't you do a bit better," Neptune chuckled, he was only joking and trying to light up the mood.

"Sorry." Was all Scarlet could say.

"Hey guys!" Sun suddenly called out to ask a question.

Although no one stopped walking, their ears were open to listen.

"That guy we fought. Surely he's not from around here...right?" Sun finally asked.

Everyone didn't answer at first, especially Chelsea

"We've already seen a lot of things that have never been seen before on this planet." Weiss pointed out.

"True but still..."

"None of us know for sure," Pyrrha replied, "I have questions to but right now lets focus on getting somewhere safe."

Chelsea said nothing.

"GUYS! Up ahead!" Coco exclaimed as she looked ahead.


It was an alien robot but a very, very big one. Probably two times the size of the entire hallway and it stared down on Team KNPY and co. It had machine guns for arms and missile launchers on its back. It was dark red and brimming with hostility.

Shido looked up in nervousness. Neptune was practically screaming. Natsu stared in awe and began shouting about how cool it looked.

The three flying CPUs flew at it with no hesitation. With almost no effort, Iris Heart sliced its machine gun arm off, Sister Heart fired an energy blast that left a hole in its chest and White Heart smashed its head like a pancake. Despite that, it still moved and fired several misses that exploded in flames.

With flames in sight, Natsu saw his lunch. He didn't even need to ask Kurumi to drop him towards the flames.

He swiftly slurped the flames like noodles and instantly went to using that new gained energy to deliever a final blow to the giant robot, "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

The robot was merciliessly sent crashing through the wall.

Neptune and Shido blinked as if not believing the sight but also glad that Natsu was on their side.

"Shonen protagonist sure are scary." Neptune commented.


They stopped in front of a huge pile of bones. They don't know why or how the pile got there but it covered the entire hallway entrance.

"What do we do?!" Otonashi asked,

"Not sure but the skeletons stopped chasing us, should we go back?" Saturn suggested.

"We can try going around." Tooru added, pointing at the smashed windows and walls.

Before they could make a decision, the huge pile of bones began shaking. Team SKYJ and co braced themselves.

Emerging from the pile of bones was a skeleton...a giant and tall one. It wore full giant armour and was equipped with a spiked club and metal shield that matched the skeleton's size.

Yuri summoned a bazooka and fired a missle. The missile was blocked by the skeleton's shield. It exploded and smoked went everywhere, distracting the skeleton.

"Quick everyone! Run while it still-"

The ninja in their group sprinted forward.

"NARUTO! WAIT YOU IDIOT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Saturn cried out.

The young ninja simply grinned as in his hand was a ball of blue chakra, created with the help of his clone.

The giant skeleton appeared from the smoke and ran forward. This failed to make Naruto flinch as he jumped towards it with the boost of his clone and he pulled back his arm.

"RASENGAN!"

The ball of energy hit and one-shoted the giant skeleton, practically evaporating it and the pile of bones behind it.

Everyone stared in awe as the young boy landed.

Naruto turned around with the proudest grin a child could have. He gave them a bright thumbs up.


"Boss! What do we do?" One of the escaped prisoners asked.

Their boss simply replied, "I AM HERCULES! ONE OF THE MOST RUTHLESS WANTED CRIMINALS!"

Hercules' followers all looked at him, "Umm, yeah we know, you said that twice already."

Another daring escaped prisoners even said, "Technically the most wanted criminals are from the top ten-"

Hercules glared at him, silently shutting him up.

"Look boss! People are coming this way! They might be huntsmen!"

The boss looked to where he pointed and pulled out his giant white long sword as he yelled, "I AM HERCULES! ONE OF THE MOS-"

"BERSERKER!"

Hercules looked up and gulped as he saw a giant beast swing its weapon at them. In that one swing, Hercules and his goons were sent crashing through several walls.

"Hey Illyasviel, who was that?"

"Don't know. Don't care."

"Couldn't you have gone a little easier on them?"

"THEY WERE IN OUR WAY!"


They came across a large open area in the school. It was barely recognisable but they quickly realised it was the battle arena they always used in classes.

Chelsea stopped here, looking around.

"What's wrong Chelsea?" Blake asked, "Where are-"

The sound of two huge things bursting through the walls was heard. They prepared their weapons.

In front of them was a giant skeleton. Behind was a giant alien robot. The two giant enemies slowly closed in on the injured huntsmen and huntresses.

Chelsea stepped forward to take care of the skeleton but stumbled. Her vision was becoming blurry and her headache hurt even more. She tried ignoring it but stopped when two hands placed themselves on the criminal's shoulders.

It was Jaune and Pyrrha.

"Let us handle this one."

With that they both sprinted towards the giant skeleton.

"David! Coco! Neptune! Nora!" Nathan called.

Said people carefully placed their injured ally down and apologised before running to support Nathan to fight the giant robot behind them.

Nathan summoned multiple shields to block the robot's lasers. Neptune fired a laser beam that went straight through the robot and paralysed it. Riding Nathan's flying shields, Coco, Nora and David flew up to the alien robot's head and core.

Jaune sprinted as fast as he could. The skeleton swung its sword down on Jaune. Weiss raised a hand and summoned a glyph. Jaune went on the glyph and jumped an incredible height, right past the skeleton's arm. Pyrrha shot the skeleton several times in the head before using the same glyph to jump and run up the skeleton's other arm.

David turned into a body made of iron using the tip of an arrow. Coco pulled back her handbag while Nora aimed her hammer.

Jaune aimed his swing. Pyrrha turned her rifle into a sword.

David smashed the robot's chest, hitting its core. Coco and Nora, with their incredible strength, both smashed their hammer and handbag on the robot's head. Crushing it completely.

With two perfectly timed swings, Jaune and Pyrrha sliced the skeleton's head right off its body.

At the exact same time, the giant skeleton and alien robot both fell to the ground, defeated.

Chelsea looked at her comrades, smiling proudly.

Sun whistled, impressed.

Vevlet cheered.

Ashley was talking in her sleep, looking for David.

Suddenly, three more explosions were heard. From three different directions, three things crashed through the walls.

The huntsmen prepared for another battle.

"WHAT IS IT NOW?!"

But instead of more enemies, they found a destroyed robot body, several knocked out criminals, debris and dust made of shattered bones and...everyone.

Kirito spotted Kotori. Yuri and Asuna looked at each other. Yuuki waved at Jaune. Coco eyed Illyasviel. Natsu and Naruto pointed at each other.

Everyone looked at each other for a second.

Simultaneously, they all realised who they were looking at and gasped in relief.

Team RWBY, JNPR, CFVY, SSSN, KSYS, SKYJ, KNPY, TINN, STAB and KNOL have gathered.

"Whoa! What a coincidence!"

"Looks like everyone is here!"

"Oh thank goodness, I don't think I could've kept running like that."

Chelsea observed all the people from other words. She was amazed at seeing such a variety of people get so along with each other. She had never met any of them yet knew them from Mato's memories.

After taking in a huge breath, Chelsea closed her eyes...and fainted.


"Issac, Kurumi, Illyasviel, Death Gun...even Mard Geer which is surprising." The vampire listed.

Ferid Bathory stood casually on one of the high roofs of Beacon, observing everything that was happening, "Looks like we're the only ones left..."

Next to him was White Rock Shooter, who was sitting down, thinking about something.

"Having fun?" The vampire asked.

"..."

He looked at her, intrigued. She seemed to be waiting for something. He looked out and spotted the giant tornado of chains, surrounded by skeletons. The ally forces were doing a good job taking care of the roaming skeletons and alien robots however they could barely do anything about that tornado of chains or the giant mothership in the sky.

After a moment of no words and just the background white-noise of battle echoing all around, Ferid stepped away.

"Well then.." He jumped off the roof, "maybe I should make a move then?"


Asuna used a heal spell on Yang. While it didn't wake her up or completely close her deep wounds, her condition improved, "Alright, her aura should do the rest."

"Thank you so much," Blake expressed her gratitude.

"Is anyone else seriously injured?" Asuna called.

"Over here!" Nathan raised his hand. He was with Chelsea. Asuna quickly headed over there.

They were all relieved to see each other. They quickly checked on each other and informed everyone what they had just gone through. Several things were happening among the group: Levi was giving Kurumi a strict interrogation with Shido trying to defend her, Naruto was admiring Natsu's new spirit powers he got from Kotori, Blanc was scolding Neptune's laziness, Takane appeared with Miku, the huntsmen were preparing and reloading their weapons, and Asuna continued attending the injured.

Meanwhile, Kirito, Yuri, Yuuki, and Jaune got together to discuss their next move.

"How many injured do we have?" Kirito asked.

The area where they all met turned into their rest zone. It seemed like a safe place but several people were still on guard in case they get attacked again.

"Yang, Chelsea, Sage, Scarlet, Fox, Vevlet, Yatsuhashi, Ashley, Allisa, Kotori, Yoshino, Yu, Julie, Illya and Kanade. That makes 15." Yuri counted.

"Which leaves around 31 of us who can still fight." Jaune calculated.

"To think we would suffer this many casualties, this is a lot worse than we had predicted." Yuuki commented.

"Jaune, where is Ruby?" Kirito asked.

Jaune flinched as if just remembering after all the chaos had just settled a bit, "Ruby! That's right! She went to help Mato and her friends."

Kirito, Yuri and Yuuki instantly become concerned.

"That's not good, judging from those attacking skeletons, those girls were probably forced to fight each other like how we were." Yuri began.

"Oh dear, shouldn't we send help?" Yuuki asked.

"Those girls can be extremely dangerous in combat, sending people to them might just end up increasing our casualty list." Kirito warned, "This may seem uncaring of me, but I think the best we can do is have faith in those girls."

"Hmm..." Jaune began anxiously thinking of a solution, "We could...no we can't do that, not with the injured we have...how about- no, no..."

Kirito felt sorry for Jaune. In actuality, he knew there was probably personal business going on between Mato and Yomi and thought it would be best not to interfere. If Ruby got herself involved then he just had to hope it'll turn out ok.

"Alright, here's what we'll do."

While the leaders discussed, Asuna became concerned when healing Chelsea.

"My goodness, who did Chelsea fight?"

"Not sure who exactly, but they were extremely powerful" Nathan admitted, but he managed to describe the two people Chelsea fought. While Asuna didn't recognise Mard Geer, she certainly shivered when she heard that Chelsea fought Sing-love.

"Did you know anything?" Nathan asked.

"Not really. I've come across the woman before but all I know is that she's crazy strong." Asuna answered honestly.

"I see."

"Asuna! Over here please!" Otonashi called. He was by Kanade.

"Coming!" Asuna called back, "my apologies Nathan."

"You've done plenty. Thank you. Now go help the others."

After another brief discussion with the leaders, Kirito made an announcement to the group.

"Everyone! Its clear that splitting into small groups was a bad idea. Hence from now on we will stay in two groups of 15 and 16. One group will go out and help clear out the roaming enemies, by doing so, allied forces outside should be able to send medical help sooner. The other will stay here and defend the wounded. Any volunteers?"

Natsu jumped up and punched his fist into his palm, "I'll fight! I'M ALL FIRED UP!"

Naruto jumped with him, "Me too!"

Plutia yawned sleepily while Neptune began whistling, keeping a low profile. Blanc grabbed both of them by the collar and lifted them, "These two idiots and I will fight!"

"AWW COME ON BLANNY! GIVE ME A BREAK!" Neptune whined.

"STOP CALLING ME THAT!"

"Umm, I-I'll fight too." Nepgear joined in.

"I'll go," Illyasviel raised her hand to everyone's surprise, "I can't stand being here with this brat anymore."

"David, lets go, Ashley will be safe here with them." Said Nathan.

"Yeah yeah, I know." David took one last look at Ashley sleeping before standing up.

"Oi! oi!" Allisa, who was one of the injured, waved goodbye, "Forgetting about me already?"

One of the other injured, Vevlet, tugged on Coco's shirt, "You should go too. You're good at dealing with large numbers, they'll need you."

Fox and Yatsuhashi silently agreed.

"Alright," The leader of team CVFY put on her sunglasses, "Don't die on me ok. I still need to show you that new clothing store I just found."

The bunny Faunus just chuckled, "Always thinking about the clothes huh?"

"Lets go bro!" Sun offered his teammate Neptune a hand, "I need to get into more action after the beating we almost got."

"A redemption arch huh, I like it." Neptune grinned, showing his shiny teeth as he took Sun's hand.

"I'LL GO TOO!" Jaune volunteered as he picked up his sword.

"Are you sure?" Kirito asked, a bit concerned.

"I want to help! I know where we can go for help and which areas need to be prioritise so help can come even more sooner." Jaune had determination in his eyes.

"I'll come too." Pyrrha stood next to Jaune.

"Don't forget your team!" Nora said pulling Ren with her.

"Alright," Kirito nodded, "I'll stay here then. Good luck Jaune, we're counting on you."

"Lead the way." Said Ren.

With that, Jaune and the attacking team left.


"I hope they'll be alright." Tooru gently rubbed the sleeping Julie on the head.

"We just to have trust them." Sinon replied.

Miku tapped Takane and Saturn on the shoulders, offering a fresh green leak as thanks for saving her.

"Oh thank- AHHH!" Saturn screamed as she backed away as if forgetting about the blue vocaloid, "MIKU! I thought you were-"

"We saved her, remember?!" Takane deadpanned, "How could you forget? It wasn't even that long ago."

"That's really mean of you Saturn-chan," Center Sensei said. The white digital rabbit had transferred itself to Saturn's device.

Saturn bowed her head to Miku, "I'm so sorry!"

Miku smiled, not bothered at all.

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!"

Everyone looked to Weiss who seemed to have finally lost her patiences.

Blake attempted to calm her down, "Weiss, this is not-

"Not the time?! So when will it be the time?" Weiss said with sarcastic quotation fingers, "I have no idea what you guys are seeing but there's a literal giant alien ship in sky! And you guys are acting as if you see this every day of your life! I kept quiet about the cargo ship incident but now I've had enough! I have been through too much to keep quiet! I want answers!"

Silence. Awkward silence filled the room for a moment.

Levi scoffed. Asuna looked down. Yuuki remained neutral. Shinoa stayed silent. Otonashi looked to Yuri. Kurumi just giggled.

Blake looked at Kirito, "I'm sor-"

"No. Weiss is right. it's only fair considering what you guys have gone through. I was hoping to explain this when everyone was here but enough is enough. There's no point keeping it a secret any longer..." Kirito took in a deep breath, "allow me to explain everything."


In the mother ship was a room filled with holographic screens, all showing different sides of the invasion.

Appearing in the room, was a boy wearing a black and red hoodie that covered his face. He stared at all the screens, thinking about every event that had transpired.

He breathe in a sign of pure satisfaction and began laughing.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! THIS IS GOOD! SO FUN! SO EXCITING! OH I JUST CAN'T WAIT!"

All the screens disappeared and suddenly the room opened up, sucking it air and revealing the view of the chaos surrounding Beacon.

"I really can't wait. Oh well...I'm sure a little fun won't hurt."

The rebel jumped, letting the air take him as he fell towards Beacon with an excited grin.

Kagari looked up. Her vision was blurry and she couldn't think at all. What was she doing? Why is she here? It was all blurry. All she could see was...Yomi.

She stood up.

Raising her two giant arms, Yuu cried out, "Stop Kagari! Please! I don't want to fight you!"

The yellow haired girl just smiled, "Yo-mi."


One of the Strength's giant metal arm punched Chariot's shield. The sheild blocked the attack but it sent Chariot sliding back on her wheels that acted as her legs.

Skeletons attacked but were annihilated in the crossfire of these two warriors as if they were nothing.

The two of them said nothing. Her orange circular eyes met a pair of yellow circular eyes.

Chariot's wheels roared loudly as she charged at Strength once more.

Strength vs Chariot


A/N END!

OOOOHHHH BOIII IT HAS BEEN A WHILE! Hello everyone! I'm back from the dead! I wanted to post five chapters all at once to make up for my loooooong absence. I would like to apologise for being so long and inactive, I really wouldn't be surprise if this was forgotten by everyone, after all, the last time I posted was December 2019! LITERALLY A YEAR AGO! MORE THAN ONE WHOLE YEAR! OMG TO THINK THAT MUCH TIME HAS PASSED SINCE I LAST POSTED! I'm so sorry for making you wait for sooo long. A lot has happened. I'm sure a lot of things have happened with you guys, especially with what's been happening in the world. I was going through year 12 and struggling a lot with my grades so I tried focusing on that. Exams were a true nightmare of stress for me. However, I have recently, officially graduated from high school! YAY! Well I say recently but it was like a month ago. So now i have a lot more free time cause no school! I'm also happy to say that I got my exam results back and got into the University course I wanted to. I will be taking a double degree with one of them being a bachelor of creative writing so maybe that will help improve my writing in the future who knows. Although my Uni doesn't start till march but even in Uni I'll certainly have more time to write. I AM DETERMINED TO FINISH THIS STORY! I TOLD YOU I'LL NEVER ABANDON THIS STORY UNTIL I FINISH IT AND IM KEEPING TO THAT WORD!

Anyways, PHEEEEWW! My goodness I have forgotten how hard it is to handle so many characters at once. I even forgot about Takane and Miku until this chapter lol, that's very unprofessional of me. If I have forgotten about any characters, or miscounted, or feel like a character needs more attention, please let me know.

About Illyasviel. I've never actually watched any of the fate series besides the magical girl one with Illya. So yeah, all I know is that she's a bit more serious and maybe a bit evil. So if Illaysviel switching sides felt forced and rushed...yeah that's why. Again, if any character feels out of character, feel free to give advice on how I could improve that.

Next few chapter is the long, LONG awaited chapters as they will be focusing on Mato and co. However, there could be a chance that I may or may not work on another chapter for Shelter the Sequel: Arigato as I have received a review saying they are waiting for a new chapter and I really don't want to keep them waiting. So it may not come out very soon, but I assure you, this time it won't take an entire year for the next chapter to come out. I've also tried to start proof reading my chapters again, so hopefully there aren't as many mistakes. I found so many mistakes when proof reading, it made me wonder how you guys could read my chapters before when I didn't proof read them.

Anyways, thank you to the people who reviewed my last chapter: XP4Universe, someonestupED, damnlastwords, XYGirl2019, JohnAwake RaiseDaDragz, freebyte and John. If you are reading this, thank you so much for remembering this story. You guys were with me since the beginning and I truly appreciate it as you guys have been one of my main motivators to write. Thank you. How are you guys btw? Good? Bad? Asking cause you know, with everything that's happening in the world, A LOT has happened.

Anyways, thank you so much for reading this. I will be setting a routine to write at least a bit everyday. You can always go on my profile to check my progress on certain chapters as I update that very often whenever I write. Anyways, hope you enjoyed these five chapters, and ah yeah...bye!


This chapter was finished on the 25/01/2021. But was published along side Chapters 52-55 on the 27/01/2021
