Author's Note:

Today my beloved mother turned 45, as a birthday present I decided to baptize the Merlin staff with the name of Luminis, a more imaginative version of my mother's name.

Happy birthday mom, I love you very much.

Returning to the story I have nothing to say this time, just a thank you to everyone who follows and supports my story.

Answers to comments:

tronax22: You have a pretty unique insight into my character, I admit he's not the most welcoming or admirable person at the start of the first chapter. The change of world and body upset her a lot.

Rerun Lightspeed: Thanks for the note. If I have a Beta Reader I will solve the problem.

Greyff: It is easy to understand that English is not my mother tongue, I try to do my best. I'm glad you noticed that I use original ideas and a more libertine Jumpchain system.

Blood-Stained Minazuki: I don't understand what you mean. Holmes resembles a male version of Saber / Arturia. I gave Ema the name Morgana to make her the Taylor / Lady-Spider problem.

RedBurningDragon: Our discussion was very helpful in getting me an idea how to properly introduce Luz Noceda into my story, it will take two and three chapters to finish the SHIELD chapter

Just happy to hear that my Holmes / Gudrun is more interesting than Joe. Personally I want to go beyond the Original Story of the Celestial Forge that inspired me to write this story.

I'm a Bakugan fan too, especially the New Vestroia series, my favorite character is Spectra.

Joe underwent minor changes from the Celestial Forge compared to Holmes / Gudrun who underwent physically / spiritually / mental and conceptual tampering.

Personally I believe that my interpretation of the Celestial Forge as Lady-Forge, a benevolent but capricious entity is part of the charm of the story.

At first, Asgard's memories were supposed to be a thing for a single chapter, but it has developed into a subplot that continues to grow.

Joe is hyper-specialized.

My Holmes / Gudrun is a very versatile all-rounder with more energies and mutations than when it's healthy.

Part of me wants to create a kind of subplot focused on training instead of giving it an edge and solving the problem.

I guess you understand that I like complicated and unusual things, I mean this story can be a little messy, but I'm sure nobody but me combined Worm / Marvel / Fate / Trinity Seven and Owl House into one story.

I'm thinking of putting Nero Claudius and Tamamo-no-Mae, followed by Jack for when he returns to the Hot Isles. She wants to see / write Eda's face when Jack the Ripper calls her, Grandma.

For the magic Holmes / Gudrun had Eda and Merlin as teachers, I can introduce him to a master swordsman during one of his trips with Merlin.

Atalanta's special attack can be used against a large number of targets or a large thing. I am thinking of combining the power of Forgemaster with the attack of Atalanta, it would be a deadly combination to kill a large amount of enemies and raise an army of enemies.

When influenced by Alastor his hair turned dark red with four sections of black color, bright red eyes and a demonic smile full of teeth.

The demonic energy does not belong to Holmes, the power belongs to Alastor, he shares it with Holmes in exchange for time behind the wheel to do his Radio Demon thing.

Trpstar: Towards the end of the chapter I have a little surprise for you, I hope you like it.

Doing a special chapter at the end of the Marvel arc no problem, but what should I do about Taylor / Lady-Spider or about Gudrun's past on the Hot Isles, maybe a trip to Amphibia?

But what do you mean will it ruin the flow of the story?

If an advantage is good I have no problem using it, no matter where it comes from.

I found the Fanfiction you spoke to me is nice, but it doesn't stimulate me.

It's ridiculous when you think about it, I mean every user of the Celestial Forge can evolve so differently and with such opposite personalities they change the approach. Honestly I started it all from a review.

Your words from Divine Visual Organs brought me a heartwarming idea / scenario for Eda and a young Gudrun. In exchange for saving Eda, he loses his eyes, then something incredible happens that changes Eda's idea of the chosen ones ...

Lady-Forge a Waifus ... that's such a whimsical idea that it works for my story.

An eccentric and crazy user for an equally crazy Celestial Forge.

I personally imagined Lady-The Forge as an otaku schoolgirl with a penchant for superheroes and love.

Invoking Nero and Tamamo at the same time is guaranteed. Followed by Jack the Ripper to meet Grandma Eda.

As much as I like Jean I don't give when to put it on?

Adding it along with Nero and Tamamo doesn't seem right. Maybe I can make him take Tamamo-no-Mae's place ... that's not good either.

I just came up with the idea of putting Jean / Ruler in a relationship with Alastor, the saint and the Demon of the Radio, an interesting romantic relationship, maybe a love triangle.

I have read Fate Legends Oasis, I didn't like the benefits of the Caster path very much. Honestly, I find the killer's path more pleasant.

Chapter 31: Supernatural Infestation for SHIELD

Alternate title: Is the Spirit of the Sword a Girl?

POV Narrator

Once Gudrun finished reliving his first encounter with the Owl Lady, the lovely Demon King and being cursed with becoming Alastor's roommate he woke up.

Our hero opening his eyes from his dream / memory finds himself lying on a comfortable bed in a kind of nurse.

"To get up or not to get up, that's the question." Crimson Harlock muttered, sounding sleepy and not knowing whether to get up or stay under the covers.

In reality, behind the face of a half-asleep boy, his brain is working to analyze the environment and understand how he should move.

'Judging by the smell of medicines and the presence of other sterile beds I find myself in a nurse.

I can hear the sound of the engines and the energy traveling through the walls, they are inside the Helicarrier.

I find myself in a nurse, not a cell, it means they are interested in me and want to start off on the right foot.

The room is littered with microphones and hidden cameras, they are studying my first moments after waking up to understand how I react. ' He deduced Crimson Harlock, using his Sherlock Holmes skills, combined with the use of IRIS contact lenses and his Technopathy to understand everything around him.

"Until someone comes, I can enjoy a moment of quiet, the life of a hero is pity for turmoil. This afternoon was a huge mess, wasn't it, Bloodedge?" Crimson Harlock said, shifting his gaze to the crimson bandages covering his body, slowly the sentient robe is gaining the lost mass again to mummify the target.

"Your new features intrigue me. I prefer the elaborate coat look, but the mummy module has great potential in terms of mobility, combat, infiltration and capture ..." Crimson Harlock has just stopped praising and stroking her bandages ...

The Celestial Forge has been activated, granting Crimson Harlock a new magical ability regarding writing, an exotic type of seals inspired by Eastern culture.

'Fuinjutsu, much more complex and difficult to use in combat unlike Runes and Glyphs. But for the Holy Grail and the gears of the Omnissiah, this type of art can do so many things that I can barely take into account. Maybe instead of destroying the Endbringers I can seal them from in something or someone.

I still prefer using Sygaldry and Primordial Runes.

The thick summer at the Boiling Islands and future visits allowed me to learn the art of Sygaldry in depth.

Knowing that every magic circle or spell contains a hidden glyph, almost gave me an obsessive-compulsive goal in finding it.

After several misadventures with Eda, King and Merlin I was able to see Glyphs in their purest form in any magic or magical element.

Using Sygaldry I have been able to replicate the effect of every magic I know, quite a long list in my humble opinion.

The best part, I don't have to use an ounce of energy to use the Glyphs, they work by using the magical energy present in the atmosphere.

Extremely useful when you want to save energy or your batteries are low.

The only thing better than the Sygaldry, are the Primordial Runes learned by my from ... Odin.

For a thousand owls I have a serious unresolved problem with my adoptive parent.

However, the Primordial Runes, unlike the runes commonly used by modern wizards, their power transcends human understanding.

Fuinjutsu combined with my mastery in Modern Runes, Sith Runes, Primal Runes and a vast number of Sygaldry and Alchemical Circles I can make tremendous progress in so many fields, I just need to find the right way to combine my inscriptions / knows without blowing the city in the air. ' Crimson Harlock thought, cataloging his most valued magical knowledge.

The Olympic Demigod pulled out of one of the "pockets" of his garment, a pencil and a small pocket diary in purple and white, with an image of an owl, a dog and a snake holding a flower on it.

"My beloved and faithful diary, how many memories." Crimson Harlock muttered, stroking the cover, almost liking it because of the sentimental memories regarding the contents of the diary.

'I believe my emotional stability has also been reduced to a tenth along with the rest of my physical and magical abilities.

Because a simple picture is making me feel so much bittersweet nostalgia. ' Crimson Harlock thought, trying to ignore the heartache that the cover of the diary invokes.

An Owl for Eda.

A Dog for King.

A Snake for Gudrun.

A Flower for Merlin.

'Lady-Forge not only tamper with my memories, but also my feelings. I feel almost the same when Touko left me alone. ' Crimson Harlock thought, opening the diary and starting to write about it again, as well as rereading old academic notes and summaries of his occasional adventures.

Gaining the urge to fill the blank pages with something is clearly a way to vent Gudrun's restless feelings by regarding the new influx of memories.

XXX

For the next tens of minutes, Eda and Merlin's pupil has transcribed on paper a good dose of possible combinations among the numerous types of Runes.

But mostly he drew schematics of Magitech projects made with a combination of Glyphs and Power Armor along with many sketches and portraits of the Hot Isles, especially a family portrait with Eda, King, Merlin and a 13 year old Gudrun.

'Sleeping is more dangerous than fighting the Juggernaut and the Abomination at the same time.

Those monsters can physically hurt me, but I can heal in record time.

But the memories, memories and experiences lived in a fragile and turbulent age attack me emotionally in a way that no magic or physical attack can. ' Gudrun thought, starting to gain a fairly complex love-hate relationship with sleep.

"Having a creative outlet works wonders for heart problems." Gudrun muttered, continuing to express himself on paper, subconsciously starting to draw drawings of a door with a large peephole, surrounded by Force-powered science equipment.

The Unsurpassed Hero would continue scribbling nonsense for any non-Magus or non-psychiatrist for hours or until a SHIELD member walked into the infirmary.

But something much stranger happened that motivated Crimson Harlock to put down the pencil.

Something twisted inside the sheets.

'This is not a gift from Lady-Forge.' Crimson Monster thought, leaping to her feet and quickly pulling the sheets aside.

This allowed Crimson Harlock to discover something incredible.

Under the sheets is a silver-haired girl, a completely naked girl.

No, more precisely she is not completely naked; he's wearing black knee-high socks and nothing else.

'Under my sheets there is a naked girl with knee socks, with silver hair ... My life has become a Manga. Eda and Merlin would be so proud of me. ' Thought Crimson Monster, not too shocked by this event, similar things happen to the protagonists.

'It means I've become a protagonist ... but she couldn't have been a little older.' Gudrun thought, avoiding staring at the silver-haired girl, feeling embarrassed by the girl's nakedness.

Fortunately, Bloodedge knows his Master well enough to release some of the bandages to cover the girl.

"Bloodedge you are the best clothing I can have ... Back on track, who are you?" Crimson Harlock asked, managing to look at the silver-haired girl without embarrassment.

"East." The silver-haired girl replied, without a clear expression and in a cold, mechanical voice.

"Your name is quite unusual. Is East an abbreviation or a nickname?" Crimson Harlock asked, wanting to understand the origin of East's name.

"Human vocal organs are unable to pronounce my real name, so call me East." East explained, hinting that he was not human.

"Well, I'll call you East or Esty." Crimson Harlock replied, having no problem using this unusual name.

Once he found out the name of East, Crimson Harlock took a closer look at East. He discovered that she had beautiful purple eyes and milky white skin. Physically she is a very petite girl, at most 150 centimeters tall and appears to be around 13 or 14 years old.

One blinked in amazement at the clear purple eyes of the beautiful silver-haired girl.

"Embarrassing question: Why are you in my bed?" Asked Crimson Harlock, forming himself not to blush with embarrassment, if East were physically more mature it would have been a big problem for the crimson hero.

"Because I belong to you, my master." East answered without hesitation.

If Crimson Harlock hadn't had a sentient Grimoire calling him a Master all the time, he would have started

cold sweat because of East's words.

"Why do you call me master? Please explain to me briefly." Crimson Harlock asked, starting to get an idea of who East is, but he wants confirmation from her.

"Because the master is my master. Was there a contradiction with myself?" East answered without expression.

"Or do you want me to have a different name?" Est proposed, noting a slight tone of discomfort.

"Having a little girl with a doll face who calls a grown man a master will bring problems. Can you choose a title other than master?" He proposed Crimson Harlock, wanting to avoid future misunderstandings and accusations of pedophilia.

"Well, your majesty." He proposed East, starting with a pretentious title.

"Too aristocratic." Crimson Harlock said, I ignite the title of King of Wizards, but not the fact that he is called majesty.

"Pope." He proposed East.

"This could go if I were about ten years older. I'm too young, find something else." Crimson Harlock said, wanting to wait several years to be called dad, preferably by a child conceived with a good woman.

"... Onii-chan?" East said, finding no other title.

"Too lovely. You will make my heart rot." Crimson Harlock said, thinking of a puppy, and reaches out to pat East's head.

Est's hair and scalp are silky smooth and stroking her is very comfortable for Crimson Harlock.

Since it doesn't seem to matter in the East, Momonga keeps moving forward.

At first, East didn't know how to respond to this. However, when Crimson Harlock's hand left his head, East had an embarrassed but happy look on his face.

"You are too pretty for your own good. At the moment I am known as Crimson Harlock, please call me Brother."

"I understand. I'll call you Brother." East said, the silver-haired girl dressed in a bandaged bikini and knee socks.

"Brother ... Brother ... my master is my brother." East murmured, continuing to repeat the words, liking the sound of it.

"Why, out of curiosity, were you wearing only knee socks? Isn't that strange?" Crimson Harlock asked, curious about one of East's oddities.

"Are you saying I should take off my socks !?" East asked, showing a sign of hesitation, clearly her sense of modesty only affects her legs.

East's normally expressionless face showed a sign of hesitation for the first time.

"He's actually asking me to show my bare feet ... Brother you are a maniac." East declared, without thinking twice about accusing his "Brother".

"No, in fact I want the opposite, that you wear more clothes, do you want a schoolgirl, nurse or priestess costume?" Crimson Harlock asked, wanting to know what kind of dress East wants to have so she can solve East's nudity / exhibitionism problem.

At this moment, suddenly there was the sound of someone climbing the stairs through the door.

"Because my life has to be full of Manga gags. Compromising situation and someone walks into the worst of times." Crimson Harlock complained about the inconvenient part of being a protagonist.

"Hide somewhere now!" Crimson Harlock said, considering using his illusions, but with cameras there is a risk of being caught and losing the surprise advantage.

"Why?" East said, not seeing the problem, this girl has no common sense in the least.

"It would be bad, no matter who, for anyone to see this situation. So hide." Crimson Harlock said, hoping the silver-haired girl is secretly a ninja.

"Got it, I'll hide right away." East said, wriggling in the depth of the sheets.

'This girl is stupid or doesn't understand the world at all. East must be naive, alien or a Spirit. ' Crimson Harlock thought, slapping himself on the forehead.

In that instant the nurse's door opened, bringing in ... Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow.

She is a tall and athletic Russian woman, she resembles the famous actress, Scarlett Johansson. Green eyes and long fiery red hair.

She wears a very fitted blue jumpsuit that highlights her body which is lined with yellow trim around the collar and along the front of the waistband. Combined with this attire, he wears a multi-purpose belt to carry his various spy tools and gear, and a pair of yellow gloves on each wrist.

"You woke up early enough, it hasn't even been an hour since we brought you here!" Black Widow said, passively starting to observe the crimson hero.

"I recover quickly, give me a few hours and I'll be as good as new." Crimson Harlock said, in a calm, nonchalant tone.

Which wouldn't happen if Ironman showed up, in which case Holmes and his inner fanboy would have gone mad instantly.

Fortunately, Natasha is Holmes' least loved Avenger, which allows her inner fanboy to stay asleep.

Natasha walked over to Crimson Harlock's bed, noticing something.

As Crimson Harlock stepped into alert position, East writhed in the sheets.

'You can't be consistent, you can't dress, you can't even hide and she stays put. What can you do ?' Crimson Harlock thought, feeling unlucky and slightly bitter.

"Since you've woken up, go out already. Director Fury wants to talk to you." Natasha said, stepping to the side of the bed.

"I'll gladly come with the infamous Nick Fury, after munching my bones and eating a burger." Crimson Harlock said, not wanting to get out of bed for two reasons:

Number One, once he gets up, a mess is going to happen for sure. According to the crimson hero, we might as well face problems with a full stomach.

Number Two, she can't possibly get out of bed. Because a strange little girl is hiding under the sheets, poorly dressed.

"Talk to Director Fury first, then you can get something to eat from the cafeteria." Natasha said, following the logic first business then devote herself to pleasure.

Right now.

From Crimson Harlock's abdomen somehow comes a feeling of movement.

' East! What are you doing! 'Thought Crimson Harlock, knowing the cover is blown.

"Already out, what exactly are you hiding there !?" Natasha said, forcibly tearing off the sheets.

"Brother, we have been captured." East said with a blank face, suddenly hugging her Master tightly.

"This is new, of all the things I expected to find, a half-naked girl wasn't on the list." She has Natasha moment, staying on guard, in her trade you can't underestimate someone just because she looks like a little girl.

"Honestly it was a surprise to me too. But it started to get in the habit of finding cute, weird girls around me when I wake up." Crimson Harlock explained, grabbing one morning and starting to play with it.

"Who is the girl?" Natasha asked, reaching out for a hidden weapon, all in case something happens.

"At first I thought he was a Junior Agent who had to seduce or obtain information using one of the most extravagant interrogation techniques ever." Crimson Harlock said, confessing the first idea that popped up in his head when he saw East in his bed.

"We don't use small children in our operations." Natasha said, hating the insinuation that SHIELD uses child soldiers, having bad memories of her childhood with the Red Room.

"After a few talks and observations, I realized that Esty is ..." Crimson Harlock's explanation was from a chain of phenomena that occurred when Natasha touched the knife hidden in her Spy-Suit.

"May the knife down if you care about your hand. I am Terminus Est, and no one can threaten my Master with a weapon with me at his side!" East declared, standing up on the bed, invoking a dozen large spiritual swords that encircled Natasha's neck.

'I just figured out what Esty is capable of, fighting.' Crimson Harlock thought, using his perfect memory and other mental faculties to figure out how East invoked those swords.

"An Artificial Spirit for warfare. High power level, element Earth, subcategory Metal, specializing in Swords.

In scientific language it is a being of pure energy capable of taking physical form. Able to manipulate the Earth, especially swords.

In short, a sentient weapon designed only for combat. This means an unusual personality and a strong protective instinct towards me. Touching only a weapon in my presence puts it in alert mode. "Crimson Harlock explained, calmly, saying that Natasha made a mistake brushing her knife.

"Cupcake Arts: Mcdonald Big Mac." Crimson Harlock said, making a nice burger in his hand to eat.

"Here's how we do it, you put the knife down and sit down. East pulls out her magic swords. Then we two have something to eat, change clothes and go see what she wants, Nick Fury." Crimson Harlock explained, taking a bite of the burger, letting Natasha think about her proposal.

"Is your conditions if I don't vinegar?" He asked Natasha, wanting to know what Crimson Harlock will do if he is rejected.

"East will continue to keep those swords around your neck until I finish eating and changing clothes.

Then I go out this door and go to my house, East will return to the astral world until the next time I need her services and you will end up with a sore feet and a bad haircut.

While I'll end up having a long chat with angry and / or worried roommates. "Crimson Harlock said, sounding like a husband who doesn't want to go home because his wife is waiting to give him a frying pan on his head.

"Has anyone ever told you you're weird?" Natasha said, not expecting such a response and no signs of mentioning it.

"You should know the Flower Wizard and the Owl Lady, the two of them made a unique parenting couple. Maybe a quartet if we also count me and that adorable Demon King." He mentioned Crimson Harlock, in a nostalgic tone, recalling one of his five extravagant summers.

"Director Fury will have a headache dealing with you. You can tell your friend to put down her swords." Natasha said, not wanting to stay who knows how long with a dozen swords around her neck.

"Cupcake Arts: Mcdonald's Happy Meal. Leave the swords alone and eat something, East." Crimson Harlock said, making a circle with one finger, making a plate of ice and placing a Happy Meal for East on top.

Est respecting the will of his Master to dissipate his spiritual swords, then to take a fried patina and put it in his mouth ...

"Brother, this is the best stuff I've ever eaten, I swear on my honor that I, Terminus Est, Spirit of the Sword, will stand by your side until death separates us." She swore East, remaining impassive, but her purple eyes show a glint of joy.

"If you swear fidelity to a simple fried patita, what will you do when I feed you a pizza or a tiramisu?" Crimson Harlock joked, sincerely wanting to see East's reaction to the best Italian civilians he can prepare and / or buy.

"You can hurry, Director Fury has no time to waste." Black Widow said, leaning against a wall with his arms crossed.

"For a Russian spy you are surprisingly impatient." Commented Crimson Harlock, figuring Natasha would have much more patience.

"Looking after a couple of children isn't one of my usual chores." Black Widow replied, having no experience dealing with children or things that look like children.

"I'm not a child, I'm an adult in a child's body, not to mention a long way, I have an extravagant healing system.

East may be cute and petite looking like a preteen but surely her creation predates the founding of America. "Crimson Harlock explained, not wanting to be treated like a small child even though he looks like one at the moment.

"Brother, you shouldn't investigate a woman's age." East said, in a slightly less monotonous tone, probably not appreciating that Crimson Harlock is speculating about his age.

"Cupcake Arts: Stracciatella ice cream. Do you want a cupcake?" Crimson Harlock said, creating a large ice cream cone for East.

'The road to a man or a woman's heart is long. But the shortcut is chocolate. ' Crimson Harlock thought, quoting a proverb heard from a cartoon antagonist.

"Sorry, accept." East said, grabbing the ice cream and starting to lick it.

"You are worse than Tony Stark." Natasha muttered, starting to see some similarities between Ironman and Crimson Harlock.

"Thank you so much for the compliment!" Crimson Harlock replied, feeling good to be compared with Tony Stark, especially if the compliment comes from one of the Avengers members.

'I just met him, but my gut tells me it will be a headache for me and the SHIELD.' Natasha thought, managing to foresee a problematic character.

"We ate, it's time ... get dressed!" Crimson Harlock exclaimed, with a blank stare.

'Constellation Gravity Falls is up and running, I have gained a very special second diary that contains 1/3 of the blueprint of a Dimensional Portal much more capable and secure than Stargate-01. Crimson Harlock thought, using all his willpower and self-control not to pull out the "Bestiary" and start studying the schemes made by Stanford "Ford" Pines.

"East, come to my side, we must change." Crimson Harlock said, grabbing a white sheet.

"I'll be right there, brother." East replied, gluing himself to the hip of the Olympic Demigod.

"Black Widow, turn around and don't you dare peek." Crimson Harlock replied, making sure to cover East and himself with the sheet.

'Because Hawkeye didn't come for me, he knows how to deal with kids and freaks.' Natasha thought, watching how East and Gudrun move under the sheets, changing their clothes somehow.

"Ladies, Ladies and Spies, this is Crimson Harlock and Terminus Est model master of ceremonies." Crimson Harlock declared, tossing the sheet into the air.

Crimson Harlock dressed in shiny red dress. Consisting of a crimson shirt with black pants, how many blacks and a black belt. A short tie with a large ruby-like stone on it.

The face is covered by his iconic mask only much more conspicuous with some Venice carnival decorations.

On his shoulders he wears a crimson ceremonial cloak worthy of a Las Vegas magician.

Est now wears a single-breasted black shirt with a red bow, a red jacket and a red skirt. She wears a pair of gloves and fishnet stockings, with a pair of red high-heeled shoes. Above his head he wears a black band decoration with a ruby in the shape of a flower.

Oddly, the eyes of this couple instead of being gold and amethyst, are crimson red.

"I am Saber, the final sword!" East announced, with one arm raised to the ceiling, sending confetti out of his pockets.

"I am Crimson Harlock, the King of Wizards!" Gudrun stated, with a pirouette and launch holograms of small fireworks to detonate alive behind him.

With a coordinated East movement that Gudrun leap and assume an illustrious pose, holding their arms and hands in a TA - DA mode, and shout, "Welcome to the Sword & Magic show!"

Natasha gives a little chuckle which turns into a genuine laugh as she can't help but enjoy the antics of these two.

"How do we look?" Asked Crimson Harlock, wanting to hear his audience's opinion.

"You look like a couple of brothers preparing to do a prestige show in Las Vegas." Black Widow replied, giving the most accurate description possible for the kind of costumes the fake pair of siblings wear.

"Perfect, it means I was able to recreate the look of the Gleeful Twins from Reverse Falls, we just replaced the blue with the red." Crimson Harlock responded, admitting that he used some less interesting information from the Gravity Falls Constellation to craft the stage costumes.

"Brother, why are we dressed the same and in the same colors?" East asked, only now deciding to ask Gudrun questions.

"See, I personally always wanted to have a sister.

We both have childish features and white hair, why not take the moment to have fun? "Crimson Harlock replied, saying he just wanted to have fun playing the pair of siblings dressed in synchronicity.

"Have you finished doing your comforts?" He asked Black Widow, wanting to bring the swordsman and wizard duo to Director Fury.

Before answering, the Olympic demigod inspected his pockets, checking if all things are in place.

"No! My pocket diary is missing. I don't leave this room without having it in my hands!" Crimson Harlock said earnestly, not finding the Pocket Journal that he received from Eda during their first meeting.

"I'll help you find it." Natasha replied, understanding that the diary is an object of a great emotional object.

East and Crimson Harlock started looking for the diary on one side while Natasha searches on the other side.

The spy found the diary that had fallen under the nurse's bed, it probably fell when Natasha pulled off the sheet.

'The boy is distracted, I can take a quick look.' Natasha thought, inspecting Crimson Harlock's diary.

For a moment Black Widow was enchanted by a hybrid Rune between Sith and Primordial, Natasha's pupils for a single moment glowed faintly.

'I don't recognize the writing, maybe it's written in code or an unknown language.' Natasha thought, unable to understand anything about anything written in the diary.

The Olympic Demigod wrote in his diary using a combination of the Asgard language, Ancient Greek and some dialects of the demons of the Boiling Isles, combined with Runes and Numerology.

The only two things that are not deciphered are the pictures of the schemes and the artistic drawings.

'I'm not Tony Stark, but some projects appear to be something Stark would have designed.' Natasha thought, looking at the incredibly detailed and advanced sketch of a kind of Power Armor designed for space.

'Could it be his family?' Natasha thought, looking at two pages that were used to make a kind of family portrait.

There are four people in the drawing: A woman, a man, a child and some kind of weird dog.

A tall, thin woman with pale skin and golden eyes. Her wild hair is thick and long and layered with two tones of gray. Its most notable features are a single golden fang, pointed ears, and orange claw-like nails. An oval-shaped amber jewel is set in her stomach, including a ring that had a similar stone on it.

A tall and charming man with human features. Wear a white robe woven with the finest fabrics. Her long hair appears in the colors of the rainbow under the sunlight. On his shoulder rests a kind of small creature similar to a squirrel or a rabbit.

A larger (?) Version of the current Gudrun, dressed in some kind of incredibly complex golden armor.

A small canine creature. Mostly covered with dark gray hair, although the torso and tip of the tail are covered with light gray hair. The creature has three toes and two toes that look like white claws. He wears a red collar with a yellow tag and has pink eyes with yellow sclera. The highlight of its appearance is a buffalo-like skull, with a broken horn attached to its head.

The spy, not wanting to play his luck with an unknown and capricious element, assisted by a strange living weapon, closes the diary without looking at further runes and mysterious patterns.

"Boy, I found your diary." Said Black Widow, handing over to the Olympic Demigod who took her in his arms as if she were the most important object in the world.

"Thank you, I owe you a favor. Let's go to Nick Fury or stay here and do a magic show." Crimson Harlock said, he decided it was time to get to know Nick Fury personally.

POV Crimson Harlock aka Holmes Hellsing / Gudrun Sherlock.

Natasha took East and me to a fairly normal interrogation room.

A table surrounded by four, two for East and me, the others certainly for Nick Fury and his bodyguard.

Four bare walls except for a wall clock and hidden micro-cameras.

I would have thought that SHIELD had much more futuristic and Hulk-proof interrogation chambers.

Probably because they don't know the full extent of my abilities and don't want to make me an enemy they have decided to keep things light.

On the table are some cookies to eat and some lemonade-based drinks.

The whole room is specially designed to make the suspect nervous so that he can spit the toad more easily.

Nick Fury, Black Widow and a third person I don't know are over the wall.

The ability to see people's souls combined with all my sensory abilities makes it virtually impossible for me to lose a target or go into an ambush.

Nick Fury is playing a game of patience, he wants to understand me better before talking to me face to face.

"East, let's make ourselves comfortable, I have a feeling that Nick Fury will be late." I declared, pushing the cookie tray to the East as I grabbed the glass of lemonade and took a sip.

I pull an old burgundy diary out of my crimson coat that has various rips and tears, most notably a large piece missing in the upper right corner. It has two gilt binding lines on the spine and the three remaining corner covers are gilded as well. In the center of the cover is a gold hand with six fingers, with the number 1 written in black in the center. It also has a ribbon bookmark. Its pages are apparently worn and contain various page markers.

This is 1/3 of Stanford's "Ford" Pines research, a paranormal detail encyclopedia with 1/3 of the plans for a "safer" dimensional portal than my Stargate.

"Don't eat all the cookies in one bite, you risk getting your dress dirty." I told East that he is devouring food like a hungry dog.

If Nick Fury wants to play which of us more patience, I accept the challenge I have an encyclopedia to read and a whole pocket diary to fill with ideas about Runes and Glyphs.

For the next few minutes, I browse through Ford's diary. I must admit that the author is a genius.

Surely he received a helping hand from Bill Cipher, an interdimensional triangular demon, and Fiddleford Hadron "Old Man" McGucket, a mad old man with the ability to create gigantic mechanical contraptions.

But the basis of his theories is solid, his portal to so much potential, especially if it is refined and improved by me.

Ford could have done better, too bad he was limited by human technology, the inability to delve into magic and many other factors such as resources or the presence of capable companions.

I'd rather have the entire blueprint of his interdimensional machine, but I have to make do with 1/3 of the blueprint. Certainly enough to allow my Reverse Engineering skills to understand the basics of this technology and make my own version.

I already have the science and technology of the Einstein-Rosen bridge aka wormhole. Precisely I understand how to build three different types of Wormhole: Bifrost, GroundBridges / Space Bridge, Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine / slipspace drive.

By combining the science / magic of these three devices with Ford's incomplete scheme, I can achieve a superior end product in every conceivable point of view.

Necrodermis is the almost perfect material for this task, some more delicate components have to be created using Kyber Crystals, so as to tap into the Power of the Force and make it easier to pierce the fabric of reality without destroying the world.

Surely a lot of Uru and Energon can't hurt, it would make working with the Asgardian and Cybertronian parts easier. I could use Balmera Crystals in place of the theoretical Sakuradite transformed into Energon via Alchemy Amestrian.

The only issues I can see at the moment are the process of miniaturizing and enlarging some components, there are also possible glitches with the Bifrost components that can interfere with the more magic-sensitive processes, but I'll find something until test day.

I feel a familiar sting in the back of my skull ... three stars have flashed into my mental landscape.

They Will Prosper (Marvel Magic), Technical Specialist (Star Wars - Darth Bane Trilogy), Miniaturization / Efficiency (Worm).

Lady-Forge in most cases you choose the worst time to manifest your gifts, but sometimes I can't help but want to kiss you.

I take out the pocket diary and one morning I start drawing the blueprints for the components of Stargate 2.0

They Will Prosper (Marvel Magic), the magnification of technology, easy to say, hard to do. For example with this ability I can take a simple laser pen and turn it into a laser cannon capable of destroying buildings.

I have to take the Reactor Arc, the size of an apple, and turn it into a device the size of a car. I can definitely power Stargate 2.0 or a huge Death Star-like machine.

Technical Specialist (Star Wars - Darth Bane Trilogy), the entire scientific knowledge of Star Wars lies inside my head. Numerous projects for all sorts of Droids, healing tanks, cloning facilities, immense fleets that cross the galaxy in hours or days.

All this wonderful encyclopedia-level space science in every scientific field resides in my brain.

Miniaturization / Efficiency (Worm), Armsmaster just earned your equal. While I am finding a thousand ways to improve everything in my possession. My nanotechnology is about to reach new heights.

Miniaturization is the aspect I prefer the most, the level of mastery of this science will be so useful to me.

Instead of destroying an entire mountain to build a huge, incredibly complex titanic machine, I can shrink the Stargate to the size of a small house or truck if I wanted a smaller but longer reload mobile portal.

Personally, I want a portable Stargate the size of a normal door with the ability to become a briefcase.

Such an artifact exists and Eda had it ...

"Damn abilities, False Truth (Fate Legends: Garden of Avalon) and The Hero's Humility of a Forgotten Hero (Fate / Legends - Nirvana Yuga), which don't allow me to lie or delude myself.

All this sudden interest in the design of Stargate 2.0 is a self-induced distraction to my real problem: Longing for home and worries about Eda's curse worsening over time. "I muttered softly in a dead language I learned from King. during his lectures on the Demons of the island.

How can I do to find out that Eda is fine, without the Bifrost or Merlin returning to the Hot Islands is currently impossible for me, for the moment.

I have to build the Stargate not only to bring Parian home to Brockton Bay, but for myself as well.

I have to go back to Asgard and the Hot Isles to see how Thor and Loki are doing, but above all how King and Eda are doing.

Akasha, Azura, Olympus, Asgard and Omnissiah made sure that the supply of custom potions for Eda is not over. The adorable Demon King still doesn't know about Eda's curse, I don't want to go back to the Owl House and find an Owl Beast eating King's dead carcass ...

"Adult fears combined with fantastic elements, the worst result for me as an adult." I muttered softly in another dead language, taking a sip of lemonade to calm my nerves.

Lifting my glass I can see my reflection ... being transformed into the face of my roommate, Alastor, the Radio Demon.

Alastor is a persistent and intrusive man, always ready to do business and invade people's personal space.

He is the reason why I hate mirrors here and I avoid listening to the radio, he takes advantage of every opportunity to disturb.

Among the side effects of this curse, in my opinion the worst two are:

One, every time I look at a reflective surface, I don't see my reflection, I see Alastor with his eternal smile talking to me.

Two, if ever a radio is turned on in my presence instead of music I hear Alastor's voice.

"Hello, my dear Grandson." Alastor said, his reflection started talking to me.

My life becomes more and more complicated as time goes by.

POV Narrator

The connection between the Olympic Demigod and the Demon Overlord is the fruit of an impossible-to-break magic / curse.

Gudrun tried several years trying to separate from Alastor, without success.

But eventually she learned to live with Alastor, eventually making some sort of compromise not to live forever in perpetual conflict.

Some of the conditions of this armistice are:

- Gudrun must stop trying to take out Alastor.

- Gudrun I must not ignore Alastor when he wants to discuss business.

- Gudrun doesn't have to destroy every mirror and / or radio that Alastor uses to get in touch with Gudrun.

XXX

The red-clad hero, not wanting to look crazy in front of Nick Fury, Natasha and company, decided to apply an illusion to make him believe that he is continuing to read and take notes.

In reality, the Olympic Demigod created a well-made oval ice mirror so he can speak properly with Alastor.

"East, I'm about to talk to an entity living inside of me, using my reflection as a way of communication. You will probably hear half of the discussion and I will sound crazy. Don't worry, just keep eating." Crimson Harlock said, creating a huge plate of ice and filling it with magically conjured food.

"Brother, do what you have to do, I don't judge and I don't intervene." East replied in a monotone and expressionless face, continuing to eat the new influx of food, not paying a glance to his Master.

"We haven't seen you in a while, Alastor." Crimson Harlock said, start the discussion politely, knowing that Alastor appreciates good manners.

"Hello, my dear grandson. You seem worried, why don't you leave the task to me, I've always been good at solving problems.

But now that I have my dear grandson on my side, a demigod blessed several times by the world, I can make the impossible possible with just a snap of my fingers.

Accept my proposal and I will open a portal to the Hot Isles in a moment. "Alastor said, reaching out his right hand towards the hero, a supernatural green energy comes out of his hand.

Crimson Harlock seeing what Alastor wants to do, puts his hand on his forehead and sighs.

"Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is, yeah? Insanity is doing the same fucking thing over and over again, hoping for something to change. This is insanity." Crimson Harlock said, taking a dramatic break and then slamming his hands on the table.

"Alastor, you are crazy. You always keep trying to make a deal with me to get the upper hand. It's not enough that I let you free on full moon nights, on Halloween night, on solstice days and on your birthday.

You are a deer or an ox, you have been trying since I was 13, during desperate or simply embarrassing situations you try again and again.

If I reject you when I was dying, do you really think that homesickness and some worries will convince me to make a deal with you? "Crimson Harlock said, expressing his continued annoyance with Alastor.

"My dear grandson, I'm just making up for lost time. I don't understand how it happened, but for a whole month our bond weakened, I was put to sleep." Alastor said, putting a hand under his chin and looking around.

"Tell me my dear, what did I miss? One moment we were in Afghanistan saving the life of a billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.

Suddenly I fall asleep and when I wake up, do I find you a child in the company of a Spirit in an interrogation room? "Alastor asked, curious to know what happened in the time it was set aside.

"A long story that involves traveling through worlds located in different universes and becoming the chosen one of Lady-Forge.

But in short, I got the mission to kill three Kaiju and an Eldritch monster. Followed by the task of stopping a Mad Titan and possibly killing Belos once and for all. "Crimson Harlock explained, not wanting to explain the official side of the story to Alastor when he is in the SHIELD interrogation chamber.

"Killing Belos reminds me of the good old days when we fought each other. If I remember correctly during your attempt to kill Belos, we have decided to cooperate.

I remember like it was yesterday, Eda's Potion Provider disappeared, Eda turned into an Owl Monster, and you had to lock her up in a cage under the Owl House.

So far it was the closest time to accepting my helping hand. But you turned down the easy way in favor of a suicidal task.

You have decided to enter the castle of Belos to obtain the secrets of the emperor's personal library, you wanted to take the book of lost potions. Unfortunately, things took a sharp turn. "Alastor said, grinning bigger and bigger, fondly remembering the hardest moments of a young Gudrun.

"Fighting Belos was difficult, but I managed to win and accomplish my goal." Crimson Harlock replied, hating to remember that day in which Eda had to be chained up for her own good.

"Victory? I would say a draw.

Without me you managed to cut off Belos' arm while he nearly killed you.

I had to intervene to save you and make you escape, luckily you were able to recover the lost potions book before the battle with Belos.

You didn't find a recipe for a life-saving potion in the book and you couldn't completely heal Eda.

My dear, you have managed to give Eda more time and drastically reduce the symptoms of her curse.

Now instead of looking 60, he looks 30 and his hair has partially returned to its original color. "Alastor said, explaining that Gudrun with all the risks he took was only able to cure the symptoms and not the disease itself.

"It's a start, a matter of time until I can find a permanent way to break the curse." Crimson Harlock replied, not tolerating that all his effort to prepare for the theft of the century ended with a fight to the death only for a partial solution to Eda's problem.

"Mutual love between a mother and her only child, each of you willing to gamble your life for the sake of the other.

A feeling so noble and pure that I cannot fool.

Too bad that everything you have done is not enough. Certainly Eda shows her true age and her magic is not drained. But I remind you that the curse is still active. One day the miracle potion will stop working and Eda will permanently become an Owl Beast and you will have to see her for the rest of her days in a cage.

My help will be convenient for you to prevent this disastrous result, you want Eda's last years in the future to be thick in a cage like a circus animal or thick to live happily in her beloved Owl House surrounded by all her friends and family. "Alastor said, knowing which buttons to tap to undermine Gudrun's will and almost make them change their minds about making a deal with him.

"Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is, yeah? Insanity is doing the same fucking thing over and over again, hoping for something to change. This is insanity." Crimson Harlock said, repeating the phrase that best describes Alastor's attempts.

The Olympic Demigod took Diary number one, showing the contents to Alastor.

"Maybe it would take my old self decades to find a permanent solution for Eda. Too bad I've grown up in the last month.

See, this pattern? This blueprint holds the key to a portal to an infinite number of worlds, an infinite number of opportunities and magic. If the Hot Isles don't have a cure for Eda, then somewhere in the world there must be a cure for things worse than the curse of the Owl Beast. "Crimson Harlock said, showing no anxiety or concern at the mention of the Lady's condition. Owl, indeed it shows a hopeful smile.

"The fear remains, but your will and your hope have grown.

It must have been a very busy month, a real shame I couldn't see what happened in my absence.

Watching you grow up and get into trouble has always been one of my personal pleasures.

Tell me, what new blessings have you received? "Alastor said, with a smile on his face, pretending he wanted to hear the latest gossip.

'Something or someone, a higher player than me to plans for the little hero.

Wherever he goes he ends up getting involved in other people's problems and it's rarely as simple as laughter in a bar.

Enter ever greater and more dangerous levels of conflict, becoming more powerful with each challenge, unlocking new weapons, abilities and powers.

So many are drawn to the symphony of this hero's exploits, a few benevolent and always wanting to use him for their own purposes, they always end up making an enemy who thrives in conflict.

The continuous chain of events that pursue the dear nephew is ridiculous to say the least. As if a mysterious force pulls everyone's strings so that he can be a hero.

What are the odds that he would get lost in the market, meet Eda and decide to help her, all to get involved with me.

I have known this since I first joined with Gudrun, he is no mere demigod.

The more endangered Gudrun is, the stronger he becomes. This means that I too became stronger because of our bond. "Alastor thought, watching his favorite entertainment and puzzle show, The Unsurpassed Hero.

"I've lost count, at this rate I'll become a kind of Reinhard Van Astrea at the end of the year." Crimson Harlock joked, using Anime references that Alastor doesn't understand being an old-time fan.

"My dear Grandson, I see that you are working on something big and dangerous. It means that the fun is safe for the future too." Alastor said, looking at the little hero's notes, giving a little clue to his dear grandson.

"First of all, you could stop calling me nephew. You and Merlin are step brothers, but I'm not his son, I'm just the heir, that doesn't make me your nephew and you aren't my uncle.

Number two, you just said that the fun will continue for sure well into the future. It means that something funny is going on right now. It's your definition of fun to me means big trouble with a good chance of death and destruction. "Crimson Harlock said, going into alert mode, applying Reinforcement all over his body and creating a pair of daggers in his hands.

"The show hasn't aired yet, but it's about to start soon. One of your flaws, you concentrate too much on a goal in front of you and forget the big picture." Alastor said, knowing that the Olympic demigod when emotionally involved or upset stops looking around as he should.

"Thanks for the warning, maybe in a few days I'll be free for one night only." Merlin's heir said, willing to reward Alastor with a few hours of freedom in exchange for help and assistance.

"Before I get back in the back seat and watch my favorite show, do I have to ask you something insignificant but important to me?" Alastor asked, with his ever-present smile, wanting to make an improvement to the scenario.

"What do you want to know?" Asked the crimson-clad hero to a scarlet-clad demon.

"Knowing you surely go around fighting evil dressed as a hero disguised as if you were Zorro.

On the Boiling Isles you were a kind of chivalrous Robin Hood, you called yourself, The Black Vulture, because your mother is an owl and your aunt a raven.

In this new place what's your stage name? "Alastor asked, wanting to know the title of the current show.

"Crimson Harlock, I wanted to be called as Crimson Warlock, but due to a mispronounce I ended up as Crimson Harlock." Gudrun / Holmes replied, wanting to do away with Alastor and deal with Fury.

"Harlock? Are you sure it's a good name?" Alastor asked, raising an eyebrow and lowering his smile a little, a clear sign that he doesn't like this name.

"I don't care what I'm called, what matters is my actions and my results." The unsurpassed hero answered, not too interested in the fame or infamous he can earn as a hero, if it were his reputation as an artist it would be a completely different story.

"Sometimes you are too modest and disinterested in public opinion for your own good. A stage name is important, it brings hope to allies and terror into the hearts of enemies." Alastor explained, wanting his accomplice to pay more attention to his image and the consequences of his actions.

"How should I be called? Pantheon, Hoddmímir, Nolava, Owlman, Bufnita, Merlin, Odin?" Asked Gudrun / Holmes not knowing which names to choose.

So far his crimson alter ego not a furore being barely known, but now after defeating The Wrecking Crew, Abomination and Juggernaut, followed by the impending encounter with Fury ...

Anonymity cannot be more dead than this, surely its name will resonate in the chambers of the SHIELD

"The last name is just a mockery of your adoptive father, the previous three are nicknames to honor Eda and / or Merlin who are still alive.

The first three are too great for your debut, I could use when he gets world fame and attends the big shots meetings. "Alastor said, partially criticizing every choice of the hero dressed in Red.

"If you are so good at criticizing my choices, what do you propose?" Merlin's heir said, crossing his arms and giving Alastor a nasty frown.

"You are a young warrior and wizard, born of a noble and royal lineage, raised by the Norse Gods, educated by the Owl Lady and the Flower Wizard. Your favorite color is red ..." Alastor put a hand on his chin to think a moment to find a suitable name.

"The unsurpassed Bloodedge, the Crimson Arch-Knight, the Overlord of Abysus." Alastor said, gesturing with his hands to make the name sound more incredible.

"I'm not sure, it seems too long, what should an Arch-Knight be? ..." Holmes / Gudrun suddenly stopped criticizing Alastor's chosen name.

Because the Celestial Forge at that time decided to make the stars of the Constellation Sonic and The Black Knight shine, along with a little Arthurian surprise.

"Alastor, I've decided to take your suggestion and have me call myself the Crimson Knight, because it doesn't sound so bad." Crimson Knigh said, accepting the new name only to please Lady-Forge and get a nice weapon in the near future.

"Goodbye my dear grandson, I'll let you take care of your show. Remember theatricality and deceit are the best weapons he can have." Alastor said, before disappearing and returning Holmes's reflection to normal.

"I've already made three contingency plans to leave if the discussion with Nick Fury goes wrong." Crimson Knight said, unable to bear to be reviewed by Alastor on a subject he has long mastered.

"Lady-Forge, Crimson Knight will be my name, but I want something very strong or rare for it." Crimson Knight said, hoping the Celestial Forge would be able to hear him.

Disappearing East's ice mirror and ice tray for food.

The Olympic Demigod takes a position to dispel illusion and give the impression that all this time he has been leafing through Ford's diary and taking notes in his personal pocket diary.

When Crimson Knight began drawing his plan C, a kind of tingling began to invade his body.

'I think I'm about to return to my adult form. Alastor you want theatricality and deceit, there you have it. ' Crimson Knight thought, passing East a sheet of little instructions, warnings and poses written on it.

XXX

"So what do you think of the subject?" Did he ask? "Coulson asked, wanting to know what Nick Fury believes about Crimson Knight.

Director Fury was silent for a moment, watching Crimson Knight on a high-tech screen that is showing live images of the interrogation chamber.

For Nick Fury, Black Widow and Coulson who have been fooled by the Crimson Knight illusion, so far they have only seen the Olympic Demigod continuing to read and leaf through a large red diary, taking notes in a purple and white pocket diary.

"From what Romanoff told me, the subject is childish and likes to attract attention, as well as being deeply attached to his personal diary.

He is not in the least bothered or worried about being in a SHIELD interrogation room, which means he is arrogant or confident in his abilities.

After studying the environment in a few seconds he decided to take advantage of the silence to study. "Fury said, making a tentative estimate on the mentality of the subject.

"Feeling that we can deal with a magical user I was expecting something different. He seems like a child with a vivid imagination who is studying at the last moment for a test. Then he gets distracted and starts drawing." Coulson said, having trouble imagining a possible Doctor Strange being someone with the likeness of a child.

"Maybe we should call White Tigere and Iron Fist. White Tiger gets his powers from the Jade Amulet and Iron Fist by mastering the iron fist in Kun'Lun." Coulson said, knowing that SHIELD's latest super-recruits are their top paranormal experts.

"Coulson, don't be ridiculous, White Tiger knows very little about the origin of the Jade Amulet, he uses it like I use a gun, he doesn't know how it works or how it is created.

Iron Fist may know more, but his studies are centered on governing Kun'Lun, martial arts and the use of Kii. "Nick Fury said, disapproving of Coulson's idea of using White Tiger and Iron Fist as consultants for this case.

"Director, I see an opportunity, the paranormal has always been a topic to which SHIELD has always been limited.

Doctor Strange is impossible to contact and wants nothing to do with us.

But this weird, quirky, childish guy can agree with working together at SHIELD. "Black Widow said, finding an opportunity to advance SHIELD.

"Director Fury, subject is doing something!" Coulson said, drawing the attention of everyone on the screens.

Crimson Knight began to glow, releasing golden dust from all over the body.

"I know you're watching me, you decide to come and play bad cop and good cop. Because I'm getting bored!

The first few minutes of silence allowed me to re-read some interesting chapters of the Bestiary and make notes for my future studies. "Crimson Knight said, closing the diaries and tucking them into his clothes.

"My wounds have healed and my batteries have recharged, I am about to take on my true form. The child can wait for the pleasantries of adults, but a big, busy man cannot wait. If someone does not come to talk to me in ten seconds, I'll be well civil with you. " Crimson Knight said, as his body is covered in gold dust.

"Connecting to the Avaritia archive ... I run my thema!" Crimson Knight said, activating his Magus mode as he reverts to his adult form.

Flash

In a brief flash of light, the ten-year-old is replaced by a 20-year-old.

Holmes' clothing has changed since the last time. Whether this has to do with some sort of personal growth or the influence of his new powers no one knows for sure.

Crimson Knight's hair has returned to a fiery red color with some traces of silver and gold.

Tanned skin has become much paler than before, they almost look like an albino. He basically went from Siegfried to be a distant relative of the Einzberns.

His eyes are glacial blue and fiery red are covered with a scarlet metal visor with gold edges and sharp upper corners.

This visor is further connected to the crimson armor plating that covers the top center of the head.

She wears two small gold earrings with small rubies in the shape of raindrops.

Around her neck she wears a long fiery red with gold threads thrown on her back that reaches down to her ankles.

The rest of the body is covered in a kind of pitch black leotard that appears to be merged with the body of the Crimson Knight. The leotard is covered with various inscriptions incomprehensible to the common man.

The crimson chest armor is made to resemble the bat-wing vest of the Castlevania Forgemasters.

The vest / armor with a diamond shaped opening for show a large oval stone of crimson color, surrounded by a golden / orange luminous tattoo, a stylized sun with eight rays and three concentric circles.

Around his waist is a red band with three silver tassels at the end that look like claws.

On my shoulders are two large golden shoulder straps with two enormous curved ruby horns visibly protruding in front and at the bottom.

On the sides of each shoulder strap comes a long strip of black fabric, with golden flower-like decoration on top and a single owl, these strips end in golden triangles with a single red stripe on the outside, while the inside remains completely red and covered with glyphs. formed by golden thread.

The entire right arm is covered in blood red colored bandages covered with black rune-like incisions with various dots that glow with luminescent blue that appear and disappear randomly, the space between the bandages glowed faintly with gold.

On the right bicep there is a gold bracelet from here come out silvery / golden segments similar to snakes that intertwine around the bandaged arm.

The left hand and forearm are covered in an archaic gold-colored glove, with a built-in sheath to hold the wearable version of Aramasa.

The legs are completely wrapped in crimson armor with golden reflections with an elegant and chivalrous design, having a secret compartment to keep daggers inside the boots.

"He wasn't kidding when he said he was in kid mode to regain his strength." Black Widow muttered, not believing the story of kids mode to heal so far.

"Director Fury think this is the time to intervene." Coulson said, knowing that the subject will likely hold true to his words and become less friendly to them.

"Let's wait a second, I want to see what it will do." Nick Fury said, wanting to see what Crimson Knight will do.

XXX

" Time out." Crimson Knight said, snapping his fingers two things happened.

First of all, the wizard dress from the East show is replaced by a white lily-like battle dress created by Merlin. Virtually East is dressed in Saber Lily's dress.

Second, Merlin's staff, Luminis, with the palisman, Anko Lamis, appeared in the hands of Crimson Knight. King's rival for the most adorable creature in the world, Fou, also appeared alongside the staff.

XXX

"The squirrel creature and the staff weren't they key?" He asked Coulson, personally to lock the staff in a safe and Fou in a cage.

"Apparently not anymore." Natasha replied, not too surprised at artifacts returning to the rightful owner's hand. I work with Thor and Ironman and have seen much stranger things.

XXX

"My dear how are you, have they treated you well?" Crimson Knight asked, speaking to Merlin's inherited pet.

"Fou Fou Fou!" Fou yelled, banging his paws hard on the floor, saying he was thrown into a cage without a blanket or something to eat.

"Understood, if I find the person responsible, I curse him with impotence and a lot of problems in love." Crimson Knight said, picking up Fou and passing him to the East. Not knowing his words are making Coulson sweat.

"The cute girl receives the cute pet, all that's missing is a cute wand, and you'd be a legitimate Magic Girl." Crimson Knight joked, before doing a small amount of magic.

Rotating his cane made it shrink in size until it became an imaginative morning. Then she put it in East's hair as if it were a hair accessory.

"Thanks for the gift, brother." East said, thanking his Master for his attention.

After this gesture Crimson Knight returned to series, facing the wall that separates him from Nick Fury.

'A few weeks earlier the idea of meeting Nick Fury terrified me. But after an all-or-nothing fight against Juggernaut and years spent with Eda and Alastor, there is little that can scare me in the world. ' Crimson Knight thought, putting a hand on his chest.

"In my soul there is much more than Alastor. Avalon and ..." Crimson Knight said, "pulling out" from his soul a sphere of golden light that has turned into a gold scabbard and decorated with scarlet enamel. dazzling.

This type of luxury equipment should be called a treasure, to show dignity and nobility like a crown, or a scepter, instead of a weapon.

Engraved in the middle is an inscription of the long-lost fairy letters, demonstrating that this scabbard is not man-made.

In the scabbard is a sword that was immediately unsheathed.

"Sanguinis!" Crimson Knight has spoken the name of the new sword.

Sanguinis is a scarlet colored long sword. The blade is long and double-edged, with the forward facing edge that curves outward to form the guard.

The handguard is designed to resemble a vortex that reverses in the center of the handguard. The pommel bears a round piece that almost resembles a face.

"If you don't come to me, I'll come to you." Crimson Knight said, swinging the sword so as to tear through the wall and reveal Nick Fury, Black Widow and Coulson.

"Do we talk like business people or are you wasting more precious time?" Crimson Knight asked, pointing the sword under Nick Fury's chin and forcing him to look him in the eye.

"You are bolder than Stark." Nick Fury said, snorting at Crimson Knight's intimidation attempt

"I advise you to put down your sword, if you don't want to dirty the wall with your brain." Coulson said, pointing the gun at the Olympic demigod's head.

"I managed to stop the unstoppable Juggernaut, you really believe that a common bullet can harm me." Said Crimson Knight, minimally worried about Coulson and his gun.

"Back to the interrogation room, I'll just stay inside for another minute, then Poof." Crimson Knight said, as he re-founds the Sanguinis sword in the Avalon scabbard, placing it behind his back.

XXX

Returning to the interrogation room.

The Olympic Demigod sits in the chair with East and Fou standing behind him.

Across the table sits Nick Fury with Black Widow and Coulson standing behind him.

"Magic Knights vs Super Spies seems like a kind of argument that little kids or fanboys have." Murmured Crimson Knight, slightly amused by the confrontation between himself and Nick Fury.

"So as we talk how about you tell us who you are?" Nick Fury asked, starting the discussion professionally.

"I am Handsome, intelligent, charming, nice, modest, perfect family, lucky, enthusiastic, loving, talented, empathetic, self-confident, elegant, multifaceted, objective, athletic, understanding, persuasive, gentleman, self-critical, dreamer, admirable, respectful , thoughtful, thoughtful, deserving, welcoming and pragmatic. " Crimson Knight said, quoting a YouTube channel.

"Take it seriously when Director Fury asks questions." Coulson said, berating the Olympic Demigod.

The little white fur ball known as Fou recognized Coulson as the person who threw her in a cage.

So it wasn't a big surprise when Fou launched himself like a missile, performing a kind of spinning Sonic attack, hitting Coulson right in the face and knocking him down.

"Spies these days are no longer what they used to be. James Bond has to die of shame to see how the spy title gets tarnished." Crimson Knight said, holding back the laughter of Fou's victory.

"Fou Fou Fou!" Fou yelled, placing his little paws on Coulson's colo, making a front row threat back on the table and sit on East's shoulder.

"I'm fine, I was just taken aback that such a lovely thing is capable of attacking." Coulson said, standing up with nothing broken except dignity and a nasty bruise on his nose.

"Don't feel bad about being defeated by Fou. His lovely looks detract from his true abilities.

Fou is actually Primate Murder, the Breed of Calamity, a creature with the absolute right to kill over man ", a super advantage over primates, so he is counted among the strongest beings in the world.

Not even the United Avengers will be able to stop Fou if he goes wild.

Too bad I'm unable to order Fou to go wild, so he will remain a mere animal friend for the next few centuries. "Crimson Knight said, in a mocking voice, making reality sound like a joke.

"I'll pretend I haven't seen a squirrel beat up the trusted man if you answer my questions seriously." Nick Fury said, willing to turn a blind eye if he gets a serious answer.

"My name is Bloodedge, I prefer to be called the Crimson Knight. Professionally I am a scientist, a magus and an adventurer. I delight in the collection of rare artifacts and heroism." Crimson Harlock said, deciding to partner with Nick Fury.

"You said you were a hero? Interesting, see why we have analyzed your mask and clothing in all our databases and there is no trace of you anywhere before a few weeks ago." Nick Fury said, looking at Crimson Knight's body language for any signs of deception.

"It's no surprise, my last visit to Earth was during the days here, Tesla and Edison were fighting like kids, poor Helena Blavatsky who always had to get in the way and stop them before they got physical." Crimson Knight said, recalling a fact that is supposed to date back about 100 years ago.

"You met Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison and Helena Blavatsky. How old are you?"

"A complicated question, to be explained I have to tell several facts.

But if you want a simple answer, I was born somewhere between the 14th and 15th century, according to your calendar I should be at least 621 or at most 821 years old. "Crimson Knight said, having serious trouble calculating his age due to of the enormous tangled straight lines that are his memories.

"I want a more complex answer." Nick Fury said, wanting to know the details and not the history of the commoners.

"My father is a human being, the mother is not human. Technically I would be a half-breed, but I like to be considered 1/3 human.

This being a hybrid combined with magical abilities and powers of regeneration have aged much slower or faster depending on what species you are.

I have lived part of my life in a magical realm located in a parallel dimension, the time between dimensions can be distorted if you don't use the right procedures to enter or exit.

This explains why on my many school trips to Earth and other bizarre worlds, time went much faster.

I was at home learning by taking a great field trip once a few months and I find that centuries have passed.

This is why my eight years in the Boiling Islands seem eight centuries to you. The portals of the Magodei Fiori are not good at linking to the timeline, unlike the Owl Lady's door which is pretty much synchronized with the timeline of the world you want to go to. "Crimson Knight said, more or less explaining that time is a stuff. incredibly complicated and changes the rules depending on the magic / time machine you use.

"I've heard weird things during my tenure as Director of SHIELD, but this falls into the top 10 oddities." Nick Fury said, comparing the Crimson Knight storyline as a combination of the background of Thor and Star-Lord.

"As I understand it, you were born 821 years in the past, but you only lived 21 years." Natasha said what she understood from the half-breed's explanation.

"Yes, I lived 21 years for what I am." Crimson Knight said, not to say that years for an Asgardian / Witch are equal to human centuries.

Being a demigod he aged much faster than Thor and Loki, eventually reaching their ages, fortunately accelerated growth calmed down during puberty and adulthood.

"You can tell me where you came from. If you answer Hogwarts, I'll throw you in a hideout." Nick Fury said, wanting to know where Crimson Harlock came from.

"The realm I have lived in here for some of the happiest and most tumultuous years of my life is known as the Hot Isles.

The name probably comes from the fact that the whole contains is made up of islands and the local rain brings things to a boil. "Crimson Knight said, nostalgically recalling when he, Eda and King had to come up with all sorts of colors to stop the house. to boil, only because Eda's magic was unavailable due to magical intoxication.

"If that's true, then why did you come here and what are you planning?" Coulson said, participating in the interrogation.

At first the three spies saw that Crimson Knight does not want to say anything as he seems to weigh his personal thoughts for a moment.

"Recently, I decided to move to Earth indefinitely, for personal and study reasons.

Seeing that the age of heroes is back I decided to continue my work as a hero. "Crimson Harlock said, giving a general and not too in-depth presentation of why he is here.

"What personal reasons and what are you studying?" Nick Fury asked, starting to make the assumption that he is talking to an explorer about an army that is planning an invasion.

"The list of reasons for my departure is quite long. There are three main reasons:

Number One, I have learned every kind of Magic of the Hot Isles, I want to learn other kinds of magic, the Earth with so many cultures has developed a great number of different spells to learn.

Number Two, being the only scientist in a wizarding world isn't cool. Love magic, but I also love science. Here it is easier to progress the development of Magitech, especially without the interference of the emperor's coven, which annoys me for misuse of magic or heresy.

Number Three, training and fun. No matter where you go, Earth is the strangest place in the universe. Every kind of weird or bizarre being you can imagine is found in this realm.

There are so many incredibly powerful criminals here, today I fought against Juggernaut, using everything I knew and more.

As hard as it was to defeat him, deep down I loved every single moment. I want to face and defeat other opponents of the Juggernaut level. The more dangerous my enemies are, the stronger I will become. "Crimson Knight said, with a creepy fight addict smile.

"Do you want to learn new tricks of prestige, advance your magical quests and escape religious / political persecution?" Coulson said, summarizing Crimson Knight's words in a more understandable way.

"My mother and I disagree with the emperor's doctrine that prohibits the use of more than one form of magic.

To quote Eda: Their way of teaching magic is all "correct" and full of rules, but it is not magic. Magic is wild, free and unpredictable, that's what makes magic so beautiful! "Crimson Knight said, with sheer conviction in her voice, finishing off the quote from her adoptive mother.

"I accept the first two reasons. But I'm not quite third. You sure take some kind of pleasure in fighting" worthy opponents ", but I would feel too smart for such a simple concept." Nick Fury said, knowing there is so much more to the enemy issue.

"I am strong, but not the strongest. At home there are some Voldemort, Sauron, Darth Vader, some Kaiju and a Cthulhu.

I want to throw them off the scene, but I can't do it at my current level. Therefore I want to become stronger by fighting the most powerful criminals on Earth.

A win for all, I have fun and got stronger, you have someone willing to fight your worst enemies just for the satisfaction of winning a battle against a strong enemy. "Crimson Knight said, wanting to fight to become strong enough to resolve. the problems in his and Taylor's home

"That's all, isn't there any other hidden reason?" Natasha asked, noting something while discussing Crimson Knight's motives.

"Maybe I can find a solution to a small family problem." Crimson Knight said, not wanting to talk about more personal and intimate issues. But tragedy and misery attracts sympathy and pity points.

"Little family problem?" Nick Fury asked, raising an eyebrow, disliking Crimson Knight's words.

"I don't like to say it, but my mom suffers from a particular degenerative condition. During my trip I hope to find a definitive cure for her illness.

I risked my life and almost died to get one of that tirano's treasures, I didn't get a cure, just a medicine to slow the process down, don't stop it. "Crimson Knight said, his voice is full of anger, sadness and Resentment The Olympic Demigod slammed his fists against the table so hard it destroyed it.

"My condolences. May I ask what are you suffering from?" Natasha asked, taking the lead, giving a cute face and a shoulder on here crying.

"The curse of the Owl Beast. If he doesn't take a potion regularly he turns into an owl beast unable to distinguish between friend and foe. Basically my mom is kind of a Hulk on a backward count, except for the strength that keeps growing proportionately. of anger. " Crimson Knight said, comparing Eda's problem with Bruce Banner's problem.

"Do you suffer from this condition too?" Coulson asked, opening his mouth at the worst moment.

"Maybe yes, maybe not. Who knows?

But if you want to find out, get mad and see what happens, he turned me into a monster and bit your head off or I'll just behead you. "Crimson Knight said, with a scary smile, playing with Coulson's fear.

"So what are you going to do while you seek a cure for your mother and pursued your mental and physical studies." She asked Natasha, wanting to know what Crimson Knight wants to do with her free time.

"I will stick to my ideals: Live like a hero and die like a hero.

I will be staying in New York for the next few months, studying and training by day and fighting crime by night.

If things get ugly or I am nearby, I also intervene during the day.

Probably once I'm done with New York, I'll go to other big cities in the world I've always wanted to see Modern Rome, Tokyo and Paris. "Crimson Knight replied, having no solid plans for where to go once he gets bored of New York.

"Well, this interview is over for now, wait here." Nick Fury said, before exiting the room with Natasha and Coulson right behind him.

"Do what you want, but you only have one minute left. Personally I think I am friendly enough with you, I have revealed more than I felt comfortable with. Playing too much with my patience and kindness can be interpreted as an offense." Crimson Knight said, folding his arms and waiting for the spies to return to make their offer.

In the hallway just outside the interrogation room.

"Tell me what do you think of this Crimson Knight?" Nick Fury asked, wanting to know the personal opinions of his most trusted agents.

"He genuinely seems like a good person to me. He was almost completely honest, although he must have omitted a few things about the enemies he wants to defeat once he gets home.

There have been some overreaction or subconscious reactions to the mention of his mother's Curse and that he may also be a being with the same problem as Bruce Banner.I can't be 100% sure, but it doesn't seem like a threat to me, I consider it one more opportunity. "Black Widow said, wanting to keep Crimson Knight close for his mystical knowledge and to keep an eye on him.

"Even though I felt he was trying to hide some information, I felt nothing but good emotions emanating from his interview except a little anger when he talked about persecution and family problems." Coulson said, proving smarter and more alert than he appears.

"So what should we do sir." Natasha asked, thinking what Director Fury will do with Crimson Knight.

"I have an idea in mind." Nick Fury replied, returning to the interrogation room.

"You said that other than studying, developing your skills and finding a cure for the family problem, you have no real tangible goals to pursue. But you still want to help people in mo despite your mission." Said Nick Fury, who stands before Merlin's heir.

"Yes, I want to pursue my goals as a scholar, a warrior and a hero at the same time." Crimson Knight said, they confirm Nick Fury's words about him.

"Well then how would you like to join the Shield?" Nick Fury proposed, reaching out to Crimson Knight.

"Let me get this straight, Director Nick Fury, you want me to become one of your elite agents like Black Widow and Hawkeye.

I admit that during my teenage years I was something of a Robin Hood and enjoyed being a vengeful ghost to the corrupt and criminals of the Hot Isles.

But being a full-fledged magical super-secret agent is something new to me. "Confessed Crimson Knight, thinking for a second about joining an international spy agency.

"So what's your answer?" Nick Fury asked, not giving Crimson Knight enough time to think about the spy's proposition.

The Olympic Demigod, raised by the Norse Gods, blessed by the Indian Sun God, educated by the Owl Lady and the Flower Wizard for a moment said nothing at all.

Crimson Knight remained staring at Nick Fury as his brain processed the information in accelerated mode where seconds in the real world are actually hours for the mind of the hero dressed in Red.

After a relatively short / long moment, Crimson Knight opens his mouth to give his answer ...

[DANGER]

In a single instant, the whole world of Crimson Knight becomes a flood of white and blue figures, except for a bright and colorful sphere representing the soul.

Spider-Sense, Eagle Eye, and Soul Vision combined into a single Danger Tracking and Detection Ability.

Crimson Knight manages to sense that a wave of energy has just exploded, releasing mini demon soul fragments to possess the Helicarrier's crew.

"The beast was a Trojan horse hiding a worse beast!" Crimson Knight shouted, removing the Sanguinis sword from its sheath.

Drawing a circle with the sword created a protective energy dome in the shape of an owl's head.

Using their free hand a they draw three Primordial Runes to reinforce the barrier and make it impenetrable for non-corporeal entities.

"What just happened !?" Coulson asked, managing to see how Crimson Harlock's energy dome protect him from the demonic fog.

" ▂▂▂▃▃▃▄▄▄▅▅▅▅ !" An inhuman scream is just ringing through the entire Helicarrier, turning off the lights everywhere.

"A demon has just come out, infesting the entire Helicarrier and taking control of everyone but the seven of us." Crimson Knight said, counting: Coulson, Natasha, Nick Fury, Fou, East, himself and Alastor.

"Nick Fury, I will respond to your job offer once I am sure if there will be a SHIELD still standing until the end of the day." Crimson Knight said, seeing a sea of possessed souls running towards them.

Keep it going ...

Fuinjutsu Prodigy (Naruto) (300): You are one of the very few who are talented in the art of Fuinjutsu, an esoteric discipline combining all the complexities of calligraphy and physics. Despite the difficulty in learning fuinjutsu, skilled practitioners find it well worth it. Fuinjutsu, or sealing, is at its most basic storing something within something else through symbols to be released at another time. More advanced techniques still follow this same principle, but to great effect. Seal masters can seal away the elements, chakra, form summoning contracts, teleport, or even summon and bind souls using these principles. It's only downside is that this art is massively difficult to learn even for the talented, and will take years of intense study to master. You start off knowing how to make the two most basic of seals: The storage seal which allows you to store items in slips of paper much smaller than they are, and the explosive seal which is basically a few glyphs on a piece of paper the size of a greeting card that explodes like a small amount of plastique.

+ Mystery Kid (Gravity Falls) (100): It might be your youth or just plain boredom, but there is something about you that holds you back from the boring and complacent lifestyle of places and opens your eyes to the mysteries of this city . Now go look for weird stuff in the woods!

Where is, where is, AHA! (Gravity Falls) (Free): Excels at research on the go! In particular to read books on the run from mortal danger. You don't have to worry about dropping what you are reading, tearing pages and you can always find the page you need in 3 page turns or less. You can read fast enough to switch between looking at where you are running and finding details on how to stop what is chasing you smoothly. As an added bonus, you are now immune to paper cuts.

Laugh all you want, I have a plan! (Gravity Falls) (200): You're incredibly good at preparing yourself for whatever you're planning on doing. You will never forget to take into account any important factors you are aware of, or have become aware of at some point, making sure that as long as you have the resources, you won't be surprised with your pants down. Plus, the actual time and effort required is drastically reduced, only taking a few minutes if you already have all the supplies and tools lying around and just need to get them. Should you be under extreme duress (because they're coming in through the window RIGHT NOW!), You will be absolutely preternatural in cataloging what you have on hand and putting it together in the little time you have.

Reporter (Gravity Falls) (300): Your analytical and evaluation skills are amazing! After a short period of observation, you can provide all sorts of detailed information about. Strengths, weaknesses, supernatural powers, preferences, etc. The time it takes to say these things gets shorter the more you see their abilities and scales based on how powerful they are, but it never takes more than 2 hours to find out everything you need to know. Plus you can get this information more easily by condensing everything important to know about the single topic into 2 pages (including diagrams) that even a 12-year-old can understand and use effectively.

Diary [Diary 1 of 3] (Gravity Falls) (300): You have a perfectly identical copy of one of the Journals, complete with its hidden messages and any missing pages. There are great secrets in Gravity Falls and these journals are invaluable to anyone looking for them. The knowledge within works on similar goals in other worlds (such as instructions on dealing with ghosts and the like), but some things are only found here.

They Will Prosper (Marvel Magic) (100): Being able to create fantastic technology that can rival even magic is a good thing, but is it really exploited to its fullest if you're the only one to benefit directly from it? You will find that you have a knack for scaling personal technology to a larger size. Turn a personal shield into something that can protect an entire city or turn your particle gun into a weapon of mass destruction. Of course, just because you can understand the logistics behind increasing the scale of your technology doesn't mean you actually have the resources to make these plans a reality - and you can bet that scaling up to a large extent will see a comparative increase in the cost of resources. .

Technical Specialist (Star Wars - Darth Bane Trilogy) (300): It is questionable that this galaxy has, on the whole, reached a technological plateau. This bar could be relatively high if you were to compare it to that of previous jumps. Sentient computer systems, widely available commercial FTLs, weapons that can scour planets, miraculous medical technology, and gravity manipulation to name a few. An extremely comprehensive database of all these discoveries, refined and developed over the millennia, will be mentally accessible to you. If you have the resources and tools at your fingertips, there's no reason you couldn't create almost anything natively produced in this galaxy.

Miniaturization / Efficiency (Worm) (400): You can miniaturize anything to levels that any sane man would consider impossible. A fusion reactor the size of a clock battery would be the absolute minimum of what you are capable of, and you could make it much smaller than that. Your power also makes you a master of technological efficiency, everything you do requires very little energy to function than it should and continues to do so for a very long time. These specialties also make you a master of nanotechnology and similar businesses. You are obviously not prevented from building something as big as a giant robot, just that it will be incredibly efficient and chock full of more weapons and subsystems than should be possible.

+ Knight (Sonic and The Black Knight) (Free): Warriors, heroes, defenders of the kingdom, protectors of the innocent - all these titles can rightfully be attributed to the brave knights of this land. Of course, not all knights are so heroic. One need only look at the king's recent behavior to arrive at that revelation. For better or worse you are a knight, perhaps even a Knight of the Round Table, and with a sword in your hand you can fight valiantly for any cause. You start in Camelot, Arthur's castle located on Faraway Avalon Island.

Brass Knuckles (Sonic and The Black Knight) (Free): A knight is nothing but steadfast, and that describes you perfectly. You have an iron will, able to stay on the course you have chosen and resist any temptation that would cause you to stray from it. Even under extreme pain or the threat of death, you won't be convinced to turn your back on what you believe in. You are the very definition of trustworthy.

Cavalry (Sonic and The Black Knight) (Free): Second to a knight's determination is the ability to perform the tasks expected of a knight. You have received a great training in the arts of cavalry; horseback riding, fencing, princess rescue, dragon killing, proper etiquette, everything is second nature to you. Now you can officially be called a real knight.

Through Fire (Sonic and The Black Knight) (100): What good is a knight who can't fight to defend his honor? When you are engaged in one-on-one combat you become better in every way. Your skill has increased, your wits are honed, you are stronger, faster, harder, better, than ever. Things like magical force would also be increased from this. This, of course, goes out the window when multiple people get involved, intentionally or unintentionally, but in a one-on-one combat even a seemingly far superior enemy can fall into your blade. If only there were great fire-breathing creatures to test this on ...

Forge (Sonic and The Black Knight) (200): Knights are certainly admirable, but where would a knight be without his weapon? Thankfully, they won't have to worry about that question with you around. You have an incredible talent for forging, the greatest talent on earth, and you can forge legendary weapons and armor using the elements. The exact quality of your gear depends on your materials at hand, but with the right materials you can craft weapons to rival those like the Sacred Swords and perhaps even Excalibur itself with enough practice.

Black Knight (Sonic and The Black Knight) (300): Oh my! You seem to have been infused with the darkness of the underworld. Now, don't panic, unlike most people, this doesn't seem to have affected your mind. In fact, it gave you some kind of power. Now you can summon the Knights of the Underworld in huge quantities to carry out your orders. These warriors are nothing earth-shattering, although the tougher ones will surely outclass an average knight, and will flow in a virtually endless stream. You have a similar ability to summon and command creatures from the underworld in other worlds you go to, as they will recognize you as their king, although any stronger than you may disobey.

Jumper's Sacred Sword (200) (Sonic and The Black Knight): The Knights of the Round Table have one thing that distinguishes them from lesser knights: the Sacred Swords they wield. You now have your very own Sacred Sword, of your design. Besides being of incredible quality, the main thing that sets it apart from a normal sword is a special enchantment, of which you may choose the effect. It may be anything, so long as the enchantment is lesser than that of Excalibur's. It doesn't strictly have to be a sword so long as it's a melee weapon. With this blade you can carve your own destiny.

Avalon (Fate Legends: Garden of Avalon) (200): The legendary sheath of Excalibur, a copy of which now rests by your side, although no one finds it odd that it does. This sheath is an incredibly valuable artifact, as it grants you powerful regenerative abilities while at your side, allowing you to heal from almost any wound in minutes at the most. Even if most of your body has been vaporized, as long as your brain and a good amount of flesh and bone attached to it are left, you could be back to normal within five minutes of healing. Avalon cannot heal brain injuries and you will die if destroyed, although the object also struggles to handle cursed injuries. Although you drain your energy, you can also activate the sheath's special power, which will take you to the world of Avalon while you hold it. While here, it's nearly impossible to reach you and even the dimension traversal effects will only work by insanely powerful users. In fact, it allows you to dodge almost all effects in an instant. Notably, the Avalon as a scabbard will scale to fit any sword you want to put in it.
