AN: Sorry about the late update. I went fishing. I'm using the FGO version of Asterios so he looks like a baby faced cows that just happens to be three meters tall. But until he takes off his mask everyone assumes he's a minotaur because of his size especially considering he dwarfs over the danmachi minaotaurs. Hope that doesn't disappoint too many people, but I have other reasons too. Cookie for anyone who can guess the plans from this chapter for the Xenos!

ShadoWARmadaN:- Merlin is Merlin so he can't help himself. Just wait and see because it will be outrageous.

Jose19:- Hahaha! Pokemon is already planned and it will come in soon. I would've thought it was inevitable with everything that's going on.

Onishin Tsukitenshi:- I try to be unpredictable but alas… what fun I could have with Asterios with Euryale! Ibuki-Doji if I remember correctly and Shuten-Doji are the same person, different forms. I better do some research before I write it in if I do.

Phantom Thief of Hearts:- Hahaha! I won't let this become a Hentai fic! But I like skirting close to fires! Also yeah, gotta love Merlin, he's the perfect excuse for some of the mischief that will happen later. Hestia is about to find out some of what her familia have been up to and how much it's going to affect her reputation as the 'Virginal' goddess, this I promise you! LOL! Fia and Fear! That was a joke meant for later but all will be explained when the time comes.

DungeonMaster:- Have no fear… This fic will steer clear of that!

Shirosaki Kizuro:- Hahaha! I think we are pretty messed up as it is without having to make Futanari, Beastiality, Breeding Hentai Doujins… not that I know what those tags mean or anything….

argoVesta87:- Thanks. I hope you keep supporting me and enjoy the fic!

Fate Grand Disorder

Chapter 48 – Leaving

Liliruca Arde and Rider Sakata Kintoki stood on top of the rooftop looking down at the Soma familia manor. It was heavily guarded. Lines of people were outside the front gate, begging and pleading with the guards for just one more taste, just one more drop of Soma wine. The sight sickened Lily to the core. But that would all be over soon. As promised, she would see Soma himself tonight and put an end to her association with the familia. She looked up at Kintoki as she held onto the sleeve of his shirt. He was her hero and he inspired all sorts of confidence in her. The grin on his face never left as he stared deeply at the compound. In fact, it got broader as time went on. Finally, he uttered, "He's alone…It's time."

Lily nodded her head at him and took out her red, white and blue, star-spangled bandanna and tied it around her face covering the lower half of it. It was a gift from Kintoki and she treasured it. Hefting her adamantite baseball bat, also a gift from Kintoki, onto her shoulders, she watched as Rider materialized his motorcycle on the roof. As he mounted the machine, she casually mounted the seat behind him with practiced ease as the beast roared to life. She clung to his waist tightly as the motorcycle sped forward.

The night's silence was shattered by the twin screams, one male and one female, echoing through the air. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLDEN!"

The motorcycle launched itself off the edge of the roof, somehow able to gain a little height as it flew over a full building block before descending, straight through the window of the highest room in Soma Manor. A thunderous crash announced their arrival.

God Soma was working on making more of his precious Soma wine, to replace his stolen stock when he was suddenly and violently shaken out of his concentration by his window exploding inwards and the loud roar of some magical beast. Commotion outside his door told him that the noise was heard throughout his manor and that reinforcements would be here soon.

Kintoki exploded into the room and had to swerve his motorcycle to prevent it from taking them straight out the other side. Tracing a wide arc, his one and a half tonne machine shredded through wall units, tables, chairs and had mounted a sofa before a quick twist of his wrist, spun the back wheels out shredding the upholstery and bringing the machine back to the center of the room. Still moving, Lily noticed the door being flung open and a man charging into the room so she acted instinctively, whipping out her bat and smashing it straight through the man's face. Thank the gods for falna or else that would have been a murder charge right there.

Soma watched in slow motion as his captain, Zanis Lustra was belted across the face by what looked like a smooth club of some sort. His room was being torn apart as he dived for cover under his table but he was then almost set upon by a massive machine. He recognized the machine as being similar to Hestia's Hespa but bigger. It was Hestia familia again! Finally able to stand up, he angrily growled, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!"

Lily hopped off the back of the motorcycle and with one hand in a prayer position she nodded to the unconscious Zanis, "Sorry mister Lustra, that was just a reflex action." Turning back to Soma she looked a little downtrodden as she spoke, "Lord Soma said that Lily should see lord Soma if she wants to leave the familia. Lily is here now and Lily would like to request to leave the familia."

Kintoki had a cheesy grin on his face as he patted Lily's head and gave her a thumbs-up signal. Flabergasted, Soma yelled at the pair. "Why couldn't you use the front door like normal people!"

"Lily tried that but mister Lustra said we couldn't see you unless we had ten million valis to pay him to leave the familia." Lily looked back at the unconscious man, "Lily does not trust mister Lustra. Lily did not think her money would reach lord Soma."

Soma glared at Lily before turning his eye on Zanis before shaking his head. He wasn't completely blind to the running of his own familia, till now he was simply apathetic, but he knew she had a point. With nothing left to say, he fell back on his default response to those wanting to leave the Soma familia. No one had passed his final test before and somewhere deep inside him he had become disappointed in humanity and its inability to overcome. "Fine. As long as you pass my final test you may leave."

"Final test?" Kintoki eyed the god suspiciously.

Soma ignored the man and pulled out a small hip flask. He had taken to storing some of his wine in a hip flask now to prevent theft but he was still in the process of building his adamantite safe to store his wine. Pouring out a small cup of wine he was about to hand it to Lily when the man snatched it out of his hand.

Kintoki sniffed at the wine, his senses going over the liquid looking for any signs of poison or foul play but he could not find any. With a shrug, he threw his head back and gulped down the wine in one go. There was no poison or anything that was wrong with the wine. But that didn't mean Kintoki was happy about it. "YOU! You would feed a youngster… a child… mere babe in the woods, ALCOHOL! You would serve alcohol to a MINOR!"

Soma trembled but before he could even formulate a response, Lily had punched the man in the thigh and stamped her feet crossly. "Lily is not a child! Lily is an adult! Lily can drink if she wants!"

Kintoki smiled at her and patted her head again. "Yosh Yosh! Lily is a big girl now. Onii-chan understands but Lily is being naughty if she wants to drink alcohol at her age! Lily is not a naughty girl, is she? Onii-chan doesn't like naughty girls remember."

"Lily is not a little girl! Lily can drink if she wants! Lily is old enough to marry Rider if she wanted to! Lily is an adult too!" Her face burned with heat when she realized what she had accidently said.

Kintoki chuckled to himself. "Of course you are, little girl. I'm sure once you grow up big and healthy and strong, you'll become so beautiful you'll be able to marry a handsome prince." Kintoki put his arms to his hips and sternly looked down on the tiny pallum, "But only if Lily is a good girl and doesn't drink alcohol till she's old enough."

"LILY IS NOT A LITTLE GIRL!" Frustrated Lily swiped the hipflask from the hands of a stunned Soma and took a massive long swig out of it.

Kintoki shook his head. "Onii-chan is disappointed in you. Little girls shouldn't drink alcohol. Lily did a bad thing, you naughty girl."

The Soma wine did its trick, drowning Lily in euphoria and now drunk and without inhibitions, she smiled at Kintoki, "Lily has been a bad girl! Does that mean onii-chan is going to punish Lily?" she asked almost hopefully.

Soma sick of being left out finally interrupted, "Well Lily, can you still say you want to leave the familia now that you've tasted Soma wine?" he huffed.

Lily giggled. "Soma wine is good… But Lily has had better. Lily much prefers Coke! Please lord Soma, let Lily leave the familia." She bowed slightly.

Soma, defeated, motioned for the girl to the torn-up sofa. Lily nodded and she sat on the sofa with her back turned to him as she took off her black, leather, 'Hestia's Angels' jacket and exposed her back to him. With an unpracticed hand, Soma drew a little blood on his fingertip and traced her back with it, dissolving her familia markings and setting her free of Soma familia. He felt a tinge of regret at losing the first person in his familia that had not succumbed to his wine. His mind went blank when he made another realization, neither did the man!

Once done, the two mounted the vehicle again and they rode off out the door and through the Soma familia building. The sound of crashing and breaking furniture was drowned out by the yell of, "GOOOOOOOOOOLDEN!"

Soma's castle was in shambles, his furniture was a mess, his precious wine had been stolen and to top it all off, the Orarian Times was running a expose on his mismanagement of his familia, putting his reputation at an all time low. If it wasn't for his wine there was the real likelihood that he would have been exiled from the city itself. There was only one person to blame for this mess, Hestia! But he knew he couldn't confront her alone just yet, he would need allies. So he thought long and hard about who else Hestia familia could have offended and the answer hit him almost straight away. A thought crossed his mind. "An enemy of an enemy is a friend."

ooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo

Escaping the dungeon with the help of the new teleport circles was a cinch for Merlin and his new traveling companions. Well hidden under heavy cloaks, they had appeared within Hestia familia territory in the middle of the night. Meeting them under the cover of darkness was Caster Da Vinci. She waved happily to Merlin before leading them to a field a fair way away from all the construction sites as many workers had opted to camp out in tents to forego having to do guild paperwork daily and instead would return on weekends and when on breaks.

When they were finally far enough away from peering eyes or accidental exposure, Merlin motioned for them to remove their hoods. Hesitatingly they did as they watched for reactions from the Da Vinci. What they saw from her features was no fear, no animosity, just curiosity as she introduced herself. Once the introductions were made it was Lyd who asked the question on the Xenos' mind, "Are you not afraid of us?"

"Afraid of you?" Da Vinci cocked her head, "Why would I be afraid of you?"

"We're monsters." Lyd looked hard into her eyes for signs of deceit.

Da Vinci's frown displayed her disagreement, "How can we be equals if I'm afraid of you? How can we be equals if we fear each other? Most of all, how can you gain equality if you think of yourselves as monsters?"

The Xenos hadn't ever had the chance to consider this before. Now that she had put it plainly she gave them even more to think about. Unlike Ouranus with his plans for the acceptance of tamed monsters, this sounded more like she was offering the forbidden fruits of freedom and equality. "C…Can you…really do this?" the siren Ray hesitatingly asked. "C…Can we…really put our…hope in you?"

Da Vinci and Merlin laughed together at the Xenos. "You'll find out soon enough. But for now, know this… No mortal, monster or god can stop what we are about to unleash on Orario and the world."

"And…what is that?" Gros the gargoyle was suspicious.

With a dramatic pose, Da Vinci raised one hand in the air and clicked her fingers. "Change."

She was right, nothing could stop change, not even the gods. Upon Da Vinci clicking her fingers, a huge bright light shone down upon them. A glowing dish floated above them, light striking the three Xenos and slowly lifting them up to the underbelly of the giant craft. Merlin and Da Vinci waved happily at them. A moment of panic went through the Xenos as they struggled to get out of the light to no avail.

It was only when they were inside the craft and on their feet that their self-control returned. Gazing around suspiciously they were surprised when they were greeted by a young human male and a young human female beside him. "Hi. I'm Ritsuka Fujimaru." The male bowed as he introduced himself.

"Hello. My name is Mash Kyrielight." The girl beside him did the same thing.

"H…Hello. I…I'm Lyd. This is Gros and she's Ray." Lyd introduced the three.

Ritsuka nodded in understanding. "Follow me," he motioned for the three to join him, "I'm sure you have many questions so I'll try to fill you in on what I can."

ooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo

When they finally docked at the giant floating fortress in geo-synchronization in space called Chaldea the Xenos could not keep the surprise off their faces. "The world truly is round…" Gros wondered to himself.

"The sky here is endless… but it's black, not blue?" Ray gaped.

"To think, the ball of fire did not go around the world but the world travels around it instead…" Lyd rubbed his temple. Looking back at his host he murmured to himself, "To think, one moment we were below the ground desperately trying to survive the dungeon… and now… now we float peacefully above the heavens. Truly the world is a wondrous place."

Ritsuka smiled at the three. "Come on, I'll show you some of who you'll be working with."

They gathered into a large hall where more of the Chaldeans came out to meet the newcomers. When the Xenos met the rest of the crew they could only stare in wonder. It wasn't just humans and humanoids, there were creatures there they had never seen before. It was then that Gros burst out in a loud raucous laugh, "I see! I see! So that's how it is." He turned to his host Ritsuka, "You have Xenos comrades of your own. It is not only us you want to free but also them."

Ritsuka nervously laughed as he scratched his head. Truthfully he didn't fully understand all of Da Vinci's plans but he trusted her. "Well… It helps us both so I don't see why not."

Lyd was amazed by a different idea though, "You… You truly see us as equals?"

"Of course!" Ritsuka was quick to answer. "These are all my comrades. We've been through a lot together. We've always been together. They are more than my equals, they are my family!"

Family. This boy saw monsters as part of his own family. To him, they were all equal, humans like him did truly exist. For once they felt their hope blossom. "Is… Is Avenger Gorgon with you too?" Ray asked.

"Gorgon?" Ritsuka seemed to blush as he looked at the ground. "Yes, she is. She's really sweet when she's not trying to kill you."

"Sweet?" Mash asked worried, but also with a hint of pink on her cheeks. "Kill you?"

"Ahh no!" Ritsuka explained quickly, "She promised she wouldn't kill me because she said I entertain her."

"Entertain her…?" Mash's eyes turned into spirals as she staggered.

"Avenger and… Ritsuka…" Ray muttered as she put her hand to her mouth, a blush forming on her face.

"Moving along," A half man, half horse being trotted forward towards the Xenos. "My name is Archer Chiron and I shall be working with you, Lyd." He extended his hand towards the lizardman who took it and shook it. "These are the others who'll be working with us," he gestured to the figures behind him, "Berserker Asterios, Archer Euryale, Caster Elizabeth Bathory Halloween and Caster Thomas Edison."

A large minotaur whose face was hidden behind a giant, black, full-faced mask stepped forward and bowed slightly. The Xenos were a little intimidated by his gruff voice and size. "Berserker Asterios…" he introduced himself.

Seeing that they were a little uncomfortable Archer Euryale stepped forward and held Asterios's hand. "Don't worry. Asterios is a nice little boy."

Xenos eyebrows shot up at the tiny girl in white calling the beast little when he towered over the both of them. "Let's go train now!" Caster Elizabeth Bathory Halloween shouted as she raised a fist into the air excitedly.

"Train?" Lyd asked confusedly, "What is it we are training for? What task are we assigned?"

Caster Thomas Edison smiled as he uncrossed his arms from his chest and handed the lizardman a small letter for him to read. It was instructions left behind by Da Vinci. Reading through it all Lyd could only knit his eyebrows together. "Will this truly help our cause?"

Thomas Edison had the head of a lion and when he laughed his voice also carried the majesty of the king of the jungle. "It will." He answered simply.

Ritsuka and Mash stepped towards Gros and handed him a letter also. "Come on. We have to listen to a tonne of music in preparation." Ritsuka exclaimed excitedly.

"This plan…" Gros was stunned as he read the contents, "How will it even help us?"

It was Mash who answered confidently. "Trust us, if Da Vinci says it will work, it will."

Finally, a tall flaming humanoid stepped towards Ray. Towering over her, his body alight and wielding a flaming spear in his right hand he curtly nodded and addressed her. "I see… I am Lancer Karna. I shall be working with you."

His flaming hand held onto a piece of paper which strangely enough didn't burn in his grasp. He showed her the letter which she read with a mixture of confusion and surprise. "What kind of plan is this? What will this achieve?"

"All plans begin with the first step. Come. We shall need to practice."

"First step? Practice? I fail to see how any of this is going to help." Ray was confused as she read the letter in his hand through again.

"It will." He stated as if that was all the explanation he needed to give. Looking her up and down, Ray blushed at the sudden close attention. "I see you have no hands. No matter. We shall have to practice on the mat instead."

"On the mat…?" A million thoughts raced through Ray's head but a few thoughts made her blush even harder as she stuttered, "W…Wh…What are…are…we…doing?"

"Like I said, practicing." He led her to the corner of the room as everyone watched on and he pressed a button on a small device.

A screen flashed on and music started playing from the very air around them. Ray stared at the mat on the ground that the man, Karna, had pointed out to her and noticed that it was covered in symbols and shapes. He caught her attention again and explained, "When you see the shapes or symbols reach this line here," he pointed to a point on the screen, "you have to step on or tap the corresponding symbol or shape on the mat at the same time."

Still confused about how this 'practice' or their plans were going to help the Xenos, she asked the only thing on her mind, "What is this thing?"

"It's called 'Dance Dance Revolution.'"

ooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo

Now please review or make any comments or even ideas on more craziness that I could add. I'd appreciate it.
