I want to thank Kisame Hoshigaki for being the beta of this chapter.
Hello. I hope that you had enjoyed the last chapter where the moment where the Yotsuba twins and Kiritsugu finally had their lemon.
I hope to end this story in the next two chapters and an additional epilogue that will show the events that happened after my main story until the first contact war that will be the sequel with mass effect.
In addition, I am looking for someone that also like the series of Naruto and Fairly Tail. I have an idea for a semi crossover with these two series, but I already had active all the stories that I can handled, also because I am going back to college the next year to get a new degree and I will have no time to create a new story and I will use all my free time into finish my current stories.
However, I believe that the idea for the Naruto/Fairly Tail story is good one and I do not want it to be lose. So, if someone is interested in use that idea, send me PM and I promise that I will help anyone that wants to use that idea to make their own fic.
Now back to the chapter.
Few moments before the attack.
Tatsuya and the girls get out of the elevator and began to walk to the conference place where they are going to expose their project, trying to put behind their minds what they had just learned about how this same city where they are now will be the place for the new Grail war, all that is left to ask is when that will happen.
That is when they could hear a voice calling for one of them from behind.
"Miyuki-san, is good to see you again."
They turn to see who it was, they saw the crimson prince, Ichijou Masaki. That is when he saw the others, he also greets them.
"Hello Masaki-kun, I see that you are part of the security team" said Miyuki seeing him using the bulletproof vest.
"Yes, I am also here to support Georgy, but for the moment I am part of the security team that will patrol this event" answer Masaki as he points to his partner, a member of their own school.
"I see, I will feel better knowing that someone of your level will be patrolling this place." Said Miyuki, as she nodded with her head and was about to keep her way when Masaki called again.
"Miyuki-san, I was wondering if after the event ends, we could go and had some tea? I know a good place in this city"
"Sorry, but I and my fiancé already have plans after this" told Miyuki as she took Tatsuya hand to tell Masaki the identity of her lover.
Ichijou was not the only surprised, because his partner also shows a surprise faces too.
"I see, I did not know that you were a couple" said Masaki.
"This is something that just happened, and our parents also agree to our relationship" said black haired girl with a sweet smile. "Now if you excuse us, we had to get ready for the contest" she turns around and leads her companions to the place.
When they were far away, it was Mayumi the first one that use their telepathy spell to say the obvious.
"That was a very subtle way to tell him to leave you alone."
"Oh, I don't know what you mean Mayumi-chan, I just wanted to be the first one to have the chance to show off about my, sorry, I mean our fiancé."
"Oh, moo, I wanted to be the first one to do that." said Mayumi.
"Do not worry, you will have your chance, the same as me" said Suzune.
Tatsuya for his part could only imagine what will happen when the three of them decide to make the world know about their relationship. However, he knew that it is only a matter of time and that in the end he did not care if other people knew.
For now, he only needs to focus his attention on the contest, something that will be very difficult considering what they have just learned about this city.
Soon he and Suzune go to get their presentation ready while Mayumi and Miyuki where too joined with the rest of their family.
The event began and one by one the projects were expose by the students, the interesting part about all this was that the one enjoying this the more is Semiramis, to her, even if the magic is different, had the opportunity to see the magi of this era compete like this as it was something that she never saw or even imagine in her past.
So, when she and the rest of the Emiya clan saw how Suzune and Tatsuya step up and began presentation of their project, she feels something that she has never feel before, the pride for the achievement of people close to her as she remembered how Suzune come to ask for her advice with some of the runes that she was trying to convert to a program.
At first, she did it because she has nothing else to do at that moment, but now she is watching how Suzune grew and how she learned from her as well, she feels some vanity seeing her now standing before all those people showing what she can do.
The exhibition was excellent, the audience could see that she understands the topic and the support material that both of them were using help the others to have a better idea about the true potential of their discovery.
The exhibition was about to end when the chaos began, as explosions and gunshots could be heard outside the main hall.
"It is happening now" said Shirou realizing that the event that they had been worried and training for the last year is happening in this moment.
In that moment, a group of armed men got into the main hall and threatened all the presents that if they do not do as they said they will kill them.
The normal student was taking by surprise and had no other choice but to follow their orders, but on the other hand, neither Tatsuya and his girls are normal people and when Tatsuya cut off one of the arms of an enemy soldier, the students that were part of the security team reacted and took the opportunity to capture the enemy soldiers.
Tatsuya, Mayumi, Miyuki and Suzune knew that what it is happening, and they move to join the rest of their family so they can be better prepare, even when the cardinal Georgy try to stop Tatsuya to ask him some irrelevant stuff about cutting off the arms soldier, they just ignored him and walked towards the VIP place where their family was located.
On their way there, they were followed by some of their friends that help them to stop some of the terrorist that were in the lobby of the hotel.
They had to eliminate some of the terrorist that got in their way, but it was something quite easy for them.
It was in that moment that Tatsuya and the girls receive a message using the telepathy spell.
"Tatsuya, girls are you ok?" it was Shirou.
"Yes, we are ok, we had just finish with the last of the enemies that were inside the hotel" was Tatsuya reply.
"Good, now we need to regroup, we will be waiting for you on the conference room on the second floor."
"We are on our way."
With that, Tatsuya turns to see the girls who nodded to indicate that they hear the message.
"Tatsuya, what happened?" asked Leon.
"I just receive a message from my brother, he told us to meet him on the conference room on the second floor."
"I know the way; my father took me there on one of his business meetings" said Shizuku.
Following her they arrive soon to their destination. However, once they got in, Mikihiko, Leon, Erika, Shizuku, Honoka and Mibu receive a big surprise as they saw not only the Emiya family, but also the infamous Yotsuba twins.
"Did you find any trouble?" asked Illya.
"Nothing that we can't handle" answer Mayumi.
"It seems that we had taken care of the enemies that were on this hotel, but more fights and battles has begun around all the city." said Rin.
"We had already contacted Mr. Kudo and they will make the call for the military to come as fast as they can" Said Aoi.
"So, what we will do next?" asked Miyuki.
"The top priority is to evacuate the students, second we must destroy the data from the projects that were been exposed here, because I fear that someone try to take advance of the chaos and try to take them". Said Kiritsugu taking command of the situation.
Is in that moment that Tatsuya rise his head, turn around and put out his magic tool, pointing it to the wall of the room.
Only the young ones that were friends of Tatsuya and the girls did not know what is happening. But all the other could feel at the same time as Tatsuya that there was a danger getting closer and when they search the source of that danger, they saw how a truck was heading on collision course towards the hotel, that could only mean one thing, a suicide bomber.
However, before that crazy man could complete his mission, Tatsuya disintegrate the truck.
His friends were trying to understand what happened.
"Good job son, now could you please also do the same with the projects, that way we save time from had to send someone to destroy the data" said Kiritsugu. And with that Tatsuya did as he was told and this time pointing his magic tool to the other wall, he destroyed all the projects that were part of this event.
"As efficient as always, it is good to see that the Magus Killer hasn't lose his skill and is on our side" said a man in military uniform that has just enter the room.
"Colonel Kazama, you arrive faster than what we expect" said Kiritsugu.
"My team was on a mission close to the area when we receive the news about the attack." Kazama, who was present when Titania and the ancient wizards arrive to the Emiya mansion, has full knowledge about the situation and after talking with Mr. Kudo, he knew that the next battle will be one that will decide not only the future of their country, but the survival of the human race.
In that moment, the Lt Shigeru enter the room with another two students, Katsuto and Kirigara. That were surprised to see them here, in special the Yotsuba twins.
"As I was saying, my team that was close to the area receive the orders to take action and made sure to safe as many civilians as possible while our main forces arrive, given this special circumstance I would like to request the assistance of the Emiya and Yotsuba family in facing the enemy."
All the students that were not aware of the true danger of the situation were surprised of this request but considering that they were talking about too well know magic families, they could understand this request.
"All right, so what do you want us to do?!" asked an exited Leon.
"The best that you can do is help with the evacuation of the civilian and help to protect the shelters, from inside" said Kiritsugu.
"Oh, come on, we can help you" protested Leon.
"This will be a hard battle and we do not have the time to protect you, you will only get in the way" finished Kiritsugu.
Leon was about to protest when Kazama intervene.
"Kiritsugu was known in his time as the Magus Killer, a name that even now is respected in Europe, you should listen to him."
"Sir. I just hacked the security cameras; I can see a group of armed men heading towards the shelters" said Lt. Kyouko.
"We will handle this situation; you know what to do" said Kazama as he turns to see the kids and order them to follow him.
Once they leave, Kazama give them one last look before he said. "Good luck" and with that he closed the door as he leaves.
"Well, what do we do now?" asked Aoi.
"We can't make a move until we had confirmed the presence of the servants, even if they are expecting our presence, they do not expect us to be already here also they do not know that I am alive, so we had one surprise that they aren't expecting" said Semiramis.
"But we can't wait here and do nothing while the innocents are in danger." Said Sakura.
"If we go now the situation will become worse and we will lose our advantage" told Kiritsugu.
"Do not worry, we will not have to wait to long before they arrive" comment Shirou.
"How can you be so sure?" asked Tatsuya.
"Because my luck"
After he said those words all the present reacted as it was something obvious and make perfect sense.
While this was happening, Leon and others were on their way to help protecting the shelters but thankfully they meet with Erika's brother Toshikazu that relief Lt. Kyouko and the other soldiers they can go and face the enemy.
He was about to offer Erika a sword so she can use her powers to her fullest, but she rejects the offer as she active her magic crest and active her CSD (see chapter 7) and took out her favorite sword from her store spell.
Giving her brother a big smiling grin, she proceeds to join with Leon and the others.
Back with the Emiya family.
"What Semiramis said is true, you can't show yourselves now, but we can," said Iris.
"Mom?" asked Illya.
"She is right" comment Kiritsugu. "If the enemy see the heroes of Okinawa, they will change their plans, but what they do not know is, if we use our battle armors, they will believe that we are some kind of Special Forces group."
"It will be dangerous." told Shirou.
"We know, but this is what we had been training for" answer Maya.
"But do not worry, we know that we are not a challenge to a servant so we won't try, if we see one of them, we will escape and inform you." Said Miya.
As one the twins active her magic crest and soon the clothes were replaced by a black battle armor. Kiritsugu, Iris, Aoi, Mayumi, Miyuki and Suzune follow their example.
Unlike theirs, Shirou and his girls battle armor, looked terribly similar to the new model of battle armor of the Self-Defense Force, even if theirs are exceptional and resilient, the only visual difference is that theirs had some red lines in the joining of the joints, however as Kiritsugu told them when they were designing their armors.
"We will have more freedom to move as long as we do not stand up, that will improve our chances and made our work easier."
Considering that he is the veteran in this type of combat they agree to follow his lead.
"You will wait here until we confirm the servant location."
"Understood, but if you have any trouble..." said Rin.
"We will retread" ended Aoi.
"Please take care and be safe" said Tatsuya.
Miyuki, Mayumi and Suzune come and give him a big hug, they do not say any word because it was not necessary, they knew what the others feel.
When the hug ended Tatsuya come and stood in front of Maya and Miya, they tensed because they did not know what to expect.
But Tatsuya just give them the same hug that his girlfriend's give to him, in silent, until he steps back and spoke.
"We still need to talk about many things but that can wait until the battle is over."
For Yotsuba twins this was something that they had been waiting for so long and now they need to make sure that they did survive this fight, even if that means that they had to kill all the enemies that cross their way, oh, wait a minute, that was the plan from the beginning, oh well they just need to put more effort in killing the enemies.
"That is so beautiful, but what about us?" said Iris, pretending to be hurt for been ignored.
"Our Little Tatsuya is forgetting us" added Aoi joining the joke.
"Of course not, you know what I mean and how I care for all of you" said a blushed Tatsuya.
But them all the present laugh at him, reducing the tension before the battle.
With a final good luck, they leave the room leaving only Shirou, Sakura, Semiramis, Rin and Illya. Doing the more difficult part that someone can do in the middle of a combat. Wait.
Back with Kiritsugu and the others, they agree to divide on three groups.
Group number one will be Miyuki, Mayumi and Suzune, their mission will be to secure the area where some rescue helicopters will arrive to take the civilians out of the danger zone.
Group number two will be Iris, Aoi, Maya and Miya and will be defending one of the streets that has access to the hotel.
While Kiritsugu will be alone taking opportunities targets as he coordinates the other two groups.
With the group one.
"We have incoming, two humanoid armors" yell Suzune as she draws some runes in the air and later pointed them to the ground.
The result was that spikes of rock come from the ground in the moment that the humanoid armors turn the corner, slowing them down.
"I got them" said Miyuki as she released her freezing magic on them, turning them into ice statues.
"And jut to be sure" said Mayumi as she released her ice spears into them, destroying them.
"They just keep coming." said Mayumi.
"Is there any signal of the servants?" asked Miyuki.
"Thanks god not yet" was Suzune reply. "Alert here come another group."
And with that the three girls got ready for the new battle.
With the second group.
"What are you doing?!" said a solder as he covers behind a car to avoid some shots, what is so strange of this scene in the middle of a battle, that the ones that is shooting him is another soldier from his same platoon.
"I don't know, my body is moving alone, I can control it!" yell the soldier as he keeps shooting the members of his team.
"Stop this or we will take you down!" said their Sargent as he took cover as well.
"Please no, I am not doing this because I want, someone is controlling my body."
"To fu%&% with this take him down!" said the Sargent as all the member of their team open fired and killed him.
"Everybody stay alert, the mage that did this can still be close" said the squad leader.
"BAMMM"
When the leader turned to see where the shoot come from, he saw his own hand raised with his gun and smoke coming out from it and in the ground the body of one of his men.
"Sir! What did you do?" said one of the soldiers.
"It isn't me, I can't control my body" said the leader in panic.
In that moment, every one of them froze and raised their guns, pointing at each other.
"What is happening?!" said one soldier in fear.
"We surrender, please don't do this!" said another one, already guessing what will happen next.
"BAMMM"
"BAMMM"
"BAMMM"
"BAMMM"
More shoots happened and soon the squad of soldiers from the GAA were dead in the street.
From the top of one of the buildings Maya and Miya saw what they just did.
"I had to said sis, you had talent for this, and I know how you can use put your talent on good use." said Maya.
"I know, to protect our new family." answer Miya.
"Well that also, but I was talking about some games with Kiritsugu the next time that we had some intimacy." said Maya.
"SISTER! How can you think in something like that in the middle of a battle?"
"Because it feels so good" said Maya as she shoots a line of magic so fast that nobody could not see it at a soldier that was trying to take a sniper position on another building.
Ever since her last battle, where she lost against Lancer, she follows Kiritsugu advice and increase the number of spells that she can use on combat. This one that looks like a power down version of her Meteor stream, is a simple bean of psion energy, that while not as powerful as her main attack it can be used faster and is more convenient to face multiples enemies.
Something that was prove correct as the bean of energy cut the heads out of the soldiers.
"I feel like a new person and I like this version of myself more."
"So, are you going to leave your position as clan head?" asked Maya, remembering what her sister told her a couple days ago.
"Yes, that position has only cause me troubles, when this battle is over, I will just be Maya Emiya."
"And who is going to be your successor, don't tell me that ..."
"It will not be Miyuki or Tatsuya, they are happy this way and I do not desire to ruin their happiness, I will leave the selection of the successor to the clan, after than I will leave the Yotsuba mansion. But what are you going to do?"
"Of course, I will go with you" said Miya without a doubt. "This time I want a real family, even it is a little strange as long as it is a happy family that is all I want; besides, I got the feeling that the time of the masters clans is over".
Both sisters share this moment as they look down to find more enemies. Thinking about their future and the games that they will have with their new husband.
With Kiritsugu
"WE NEED BACK UP!" said a police officer to the radio as a group of soldiers fired at his position.
"There is not use, there are battles all over the place, they will never arrive here on time." Said his partner.
"So, this is it?" said the first police officer.
"It seen so."
"It was my pleasure them."
"Thanks, I feel the same… also I believe that it is a good time to confess that I am dating your sister."
"You what?"
"It just happened, but now it doesn't matter anymore."
It was at that moment that all the enemy fire stopped. When the officers look over their patrol car that they used as a barrier, they saw that all the enemies were on the ground, death, and a man in black armor stood in the middle of them.
"You moved too far away from your fellow police officers, you need to regroup with them, the enemy is using military grade weapons, the only way that you can overcome that is working on team using larger group of officers." Said the man on black armor.
"Who that hell are you?"
"The man that has just save your lives, now get out of here and join with the other officers" said Kiritsugu.
They wanted to protest but giving the circumstances, they knew that he was right, so they began to leave but when they moved to see the man that safe their lives, he was no longer there.
"Where the hell did he go?"
"Who cares, we need to leave this place, and later you and I will have a long talk about how you are dating my sister."
With Shirou and his girls.
"Any news over there?" asked Shirou using the telepathy spell.
"So far everything is under control here" answer Suzune.
"Nothing to report here" added Maya.
"The same here, but keep your guard up, remember that the enemy just need to had luck on the moment that we are distracted and that can be the end of any of us" said Kiritsugu.
"I see some helicopters; they must be the ones that my family send to help us to evacuate the civilians" said Mayumi.
As she said, three helicopters could be seen in distance getting closer, a feeling of relief could be feels by all the presents because the more civilians they can move to a safe place the more freedom they will had in the battle.
"That is good, keep me informed about …." Said Kiritsugu, but it was interrupted.
"BOOOOOOOOM!" the three helicopters were destroyed as they were about to land.
The explosion could be seen and heard everywhere in the city, that is not the real problem, but the person that did it-
"Move out of the way!" yield Mayumi as she and Miyuki and Suzune activate their fly spell to get out of the way on time before the pieces of the helicopter fall over them.
"What happened?" asked Miyuki. But her reply was something that she did not expect.
"I see that you mongrel can move very fast if you are motivated" said a voice from the top of a building.
When the girls saw him, they feel their blood turn into cold water.
It was him, a servant, but not any servant but the more dangerous of all of them according to Shirou and the others.
Gilgamesh.
"He is here, Gilgamesh" said Miyuki in a worry voice. All the presents knew what dangerous the situation is.
"Keep your distance and do not face him, we are on our way!" and with that Shirou and the others used their teleportation spell to appear before the girls.
"I see that you are fast mongrel and this time you bring your friends, not that can help you." said Gilgamesh.
"This time I will finish what I should had done in the magic games" said Shirou, in all his battle armor glory.
"That is something that I should said." Said another voice from behind Gilgamesh as Siegfried step on.
"We had an unfinished business."
"Siegfried"- said Shirou.
"We will take care of him; you take care of Gilgamesh" said Rin as she steps on facing the Saber of this war.
"I don't think that that will be possible" said Siegfried.
Before Shirou and the girls could think about what he is talking about three big explosions began to happen in different parts of the city.
"It seen that they began" comment Siegfried as more explosions keep happening.
"What did you do?" asked a mad Shirou.
"Me, nothing, but I can respond for the other servants." answer Siegfried.
"We need to stop them" said Tatsuya using his telepathy spell.
"We had no other choice but to separate, Tatsuya, you will go with Mayumi, Miyuki and Suzune, the other will have to face a servant on their own" said Shirou as he looks at Siegfried and Gilgamesh.
"But that means that you will face two servants at once" protested Rin.
"No, their pride will stop them to team up against me."
"He is right" said Semiramis, from inside the hotel, as they planned, she will remain hiding until the right time to give them an advantage. "Besides, if things turn for the worse, I can still help him."
"We do not had time to argue, I will be fine, but the same goes for you, you need to be careful" said Shirou.
The others look at each other before they headed to the different locations where the explosions were happening.
"I don't have time for this so I will kill you as fast as I can" said Shirou as he traces his twin blades
"Funny, I was planning to say the same thing" answered Siegfried as he draws his blade.
From this point words were unnecessary as the two warriors charged against each other's. This time there will be only one alive when this fight is over.
With Illya
She has arrived at the place of the explosions. Around her, she could see the bodies of many police officers that seen to try to stop the servant that attacked this area, that didn't end well for them.
She would like to make sure if there is any survivor, but she knew that the servant was here and if she gets distracted, she will end just like them.
She was about to move to another area to see if the servant has moved its location. But them she feels something and out of reflex she jumped back at that moment a spear hit the ground on the same place that she was moments ago.
When she landed, saw that a servant was now standing next to the spear.
"Hello, it is nice to see you again, I see that this time we had a solo time between us."
"Lancer!"
"At your service"
Another fight to the death was about to begin.
With Tatsuya, Miyuki, Mayumi and Suzune.
"This is something new" declared Suzune as she sees how many civilians were running after they saw how Katsuto was holding his barrier against an immensely powerful horseman.
A few moments earlier Katsuto has gather some civilians to fight against a group of soldiers, dressed on an armor that looks like an old samurai, at the beginning everything went well for him and the civilians that were helping him.
However, that ended when that horseman arrived, as he galloped between the civilians killing them with his sword.
Katsuto just manage to survive thanks to his phalanx, but even the great spell of the Juumonji family mean nothing against a servant and his sword pierce his magic wall with easy, but that give Katsuto the time that he needed to jump back avoiding the attack, but still receiving a small curt on his chest armor.
On the ground and injure on his chest, Katsuto rise his head to see how the rider was looking at him from over his horse.
"You did it better than the rest, but in the end, you will be one of the many that will fall in the conquest of this land." said Rider.
"That will never happen!" said Katsuto.
"Oh, that line again, every time that I attack a new land to conquer it some has to say those same words, and do you know what? I always win" and with that Rider took his sword and was about to kill the Juumonji heir.
However, in that moment a rain of ice spears shot at him and he has to avoid the attack with his horse.
In that moment Katsuto turns to see how he was saved and was rewarded with the image of four figures in black armor using the fly magic as they descend between him and the rider.
"Take the survivors to a safe place, we will be handled him" said the woman that has used the ice spears that save him, even if the voice from her helmet sound modify, Katsuto could swear that there is something familiar with her voice.
"It is my duty to defeat all the invaders of my country" was Katsuto.
"Listen well, you want to help, go find other enemy soldiers, because if you haven't realized yet this one out of your league and you will only get in our way." Said the only man in their group, not even looking at him, his eyes always on that strange horseman.
Katsuto wanted to protest but he knew that this enemy was different.
"There are more enemy soldiers out there and the magicians that are fighting them needs someone that led them, we will handle the situation here, you need to go where you are needed." Said another of the female in their group, again he got the feeling that he knew that voice even if it was modify by her helmet.
"I hope that you can give me more fun that than the others" said the Rider.
"Oh, we will, Servant of the Rider class" said Tatsuya.
"So, you know about us, that means that you must be a friend with that group. Good that means that this will be interesting" said Rider and he charge against them.
With Sakura and Rin.
At that same time in another part of the city two figure were looking below them as they fly in the sky, trying to find their enemy.
"I am worried about Illya, she went alone against a Servant." said Sakura.
"Dad and our moms are on their way to support her; she only needs to hold until them" answer Rin.
"I hope that nothing bad happen" said Sakura.
"If we finish our battle soon, we can go and help her, that is why we need to give our best" said Rin.
In that moment they feel something and when they look at the direction where that feeling come from, they see a building collapse.
Getting close to see what happened they saw a lot of death bodies that belong to the police officer and some civilians that could not escape the area on time.
"They didn't need to do this" said Sakura while floating over the scene.
"But that is what they do, they do not care who gets hurt as long as they get what they want" added Rin. "Be on alert that the servant must be close."
Just as she has said that a car was thrown towards where they were forcing them to avoid it just in time to avoid the impact.
Looking at where that car was thrown, they could see a figure, a big, muscular figure.
Landing in front of him they got ready to fight.
"Great, now we had to fight a Berserker" said Rin as bad memories of her experience with the Berserker from back on their original world flashed her mind for a moment.
"You are the oppressors that rules this land! I will destroy you" – Berserker.
"Wait, we are no oppressors and we do not rule this land." said Sakura.
"Save it, he is a Berserker that means that he lost his reason, and you cannot reason with him." said Rin.
While this was happening, a figure observes everything from the top of another building.
"That is my little pet, play with those who dare to get in my way, and they kill them" comment Shinji Matou with a crazy smile.
In that moment he heard something and turn to see what the source of that noise is, that is when he saw how a group of small helicopters flying over them, they were big but he couldn't see any mark that identified them as military, so that only could means one thing.
"A rescue group, hum? Sorry but no one can leave this party until it is all over." And with that said he rise his hand and a large group of bugs come from it and began to fly toward the helicopters.
There was nothing that the pilots could done as the bugs surrounded their helicopters, the calls for help were the last thing that they ever did before the bugs destroy them.
Back with Shirou.
"What was that?" asked Shirou at the sound of the explosion.
"You shouldn't get distracted" declared Siegfried as he keeps his attack.
Shirou just manage to avoid it and made distance from him.
"Why are you doing this?!, you were a real hero why are you helping them?" said Shirou as he has saw all the history of this warrior from his blade.
"I had my reasons, but I can tell you that if you manage to defeat me, I will tell you something very important."
"What it is?"
"You will have to defeat me to know" told Siegfried as he charges again.
Shirou reply in kind and once again their swords where dancing as they try to kill each other's.
While this was happening. Gilgamesh was looking at it with a boring expression.
"I should know that these plebeians will not be able to entertain me, I guess that I will have to make things more interesting."
In that moment, he opened the Gate of Babylon and two noble phantoms came from it and were shot at the ground, destroying another building.
"Since they had failed to entertain me, I guess that I will do a little of target practice" as this time he targeted the hotel where the main shelter was.
More noble phantoms were shot causing more destruction.
Shirou saw this and wanted to stop him but he has his hands full with Siegfried. The worst part is that Gilgamesh is shooting to the area where the shelters are.
"Damn, if only I could do something to stop him."
However, in the moment that the Noble Phantasm hit the hotel and destroy it, something happened that he, or anyone on this planet could never had expected.
From the big dusk cloud from the destroyed hotel a castle rises to the sky.
With Semiramis.
Since the moment that they had to depart to face the enemy and Semiramis must stay behind to be give her the element of surprise, she has been following the battles that were happening all over the place waiting for the moment to act.
At first everything was happening according to their plan but once the other servants she could not avoid get worried for her friends, no, her family.
This place had been the only place when she could really say that she feels at home, with people that had accepted her for how she is and did not care about her past. So, seeing them face a servant was something that really worry her.
But now she is facing a situation that no one of them expect, as Gilgamesh began to attack the buildings and now, he was targeting the hotel where she is, if she was alone that would not be a problem as she can escape with not trouble.
However, she was not alone as many people that had used the shelters on the hotel were now in danger.
She didn't know why but when she feels how a group of soldiers went to attack the civilians, she sends a couple of her skeleton soldiers to kill them and then make then disappears before the civilians even knew that they were in danger.
Now the danger was bigger, and she must make a choice, remain hidden and keep the element of surprise on her side so you can attack a servant when she has the opportunity, leaving the civilians to die.
On the other hand, she can do something very stupid that her old self would never do.
"Been so long with Shirou make me catch his stupidity."
"Hanging Gardens of Babylon!"
With that order her anti world noble phantom was called, but this time with the intention of protect these people.
To all the present that saw how a flying castle appears of nowhere had different reactions.
"So, that witch is alive and has betray us" – said Gilgamesh as he look the castle.
"Semiramis, you safe them?" asked a surprised Shirou, even if he already knew the answer.
"You are a terrible influence on me" was her reply.
"Thank you, for saving them" answer Shirou with a smile as he faces Siegfried.
While this was happening inside of Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the students and teachers that were on the shelter began to open their eyes.
They were confused, in one moment they were on the shelter when the ground began to tremble after what they knew were big impacts, when after a few more trembles they saw how the roof of the shelter collapse and was falling over them.
However, a blinding light appears out of nowhere and that was the last thing that they remember.
But when they open their eyes, they found themselves in an unfamiliar room that looks like the chambers from those fantasy movies and in the middle of that chamber there was a throne that was placed on a high place and sitting on that throne was an armored figured and by the look of its figure it was a woman, a very developed woman.
"What happened? Where are we?" asked one of the teachers.
"You are safe for the moment" said the woman in armor. "Now be quiet that I need to focus."
It was in this moment that all the presents could see that this woman was looking at what appear to be holography screens that were showing many battles that were happing at different places of the city.
"Wait, aren't those the heroes of Okinawa? The ones that appeared on the magic game" said one of the students when he looked at the screens.
"Yes, they are." said an old male voice.
Even Semiramis turns to see where that voice come from because she knew that voice.
"Zelretch! What are you doing here you old vampire" – told Semiramis.
"Oh, come on your highness, this place has the best view of the fights and besides, I need to bring some people."
For a moment, Semiramis believed that this old vampire had come with warriors that could help them.
"What is happening here?" said a woman with a microphone in hand.
"I don't know."
"Who are they? And why did you bring them here?"- asked the wise Queen of Assyria.
"That is what I want to know, I am Shinobu Kamiya, a reporter, and we were here to cover this academy competition when all this began, we try to find a good place to take a look and report what is happening when this old man appears out of nowhere and now we are here. By the way where are we?"
"In a safe place with the best view to report what is happening" said Zelretch as he points to the screens that were showing the battles.
Once the reporter and her cinematographer saw this, they began to transmit as they began to report.
"You have not answered my question, why did you bring them here?"
"I do not want to ruin the surprise, besides there still more people in danger out there that need your help in the city." After saying, this Zelretch disappears.
"Just great" said Semiramis in a bad mood.
In the next moment, some of her winged soldiers appeared before the students, making that more than one got worried, and others took their CAD ready to fight.
"Don't cause me any more trouble, they are under my control and I just give them the order to go down the city and bring any person in danger here." Said Semiramis. "While all this happen, do not disturb me, things are going to get very dangerous now".
After she said that, she focuses her attention on the battle that is happening all over the place as her winged soldiers got down rescuing other victims.
"This is unbelievable, for all of you that has just turn on, the city of Yokohama is under attack from the GAA and somehow we ended inside what appears to be a flying castle that is controlled by a woman that use an armor that just like the ones used but the heroes of Okinawa and that recently appeared on the Magic Games." said the reporter.
As the camera show the screens that Semiramis is using to see everything that is happening.
"This woman, that has just evacuated the people of a shelter that was about to collapse and bring them to this flying castle has also send some creatures down to evacuate of the people that are still on danger."
Meanwhile, Gilgamesh looked at her castle with a sinister smile.
"Finally, a little of entertainment"
Here is the chapter 29.
I hope to end this story with the next two chapters plus an epilogue that can also be used as a prologue of the sequel.
For those that had been waiting the return of Saber and Rider, that will happen on the next chapter.
Also, all the chapter will de dedicate to the fights that are happening all around the place.
About the news crew, has anyone can guess why I place them there? I had been planning for this since the chapter of the magic games when the servants returned. I wonder if anyone can guess what will happen.
We also finally know why a hero like Siegfried is fighting in this battle against Shirou.
