Story Start!
"That's it, I've finally fine tuned it!"
Azazel was extremely excited for what he had managed to create. In front of him, instead of a book, was a floating bracelet with 8 glowing golden spheres on it. He grinned as he looked at the finally useable version of Servo Evocazione that could be used by more than just the Uzumaki clan. Sadly, while it was a newer model, it still wasn't quite up to the same standards as the old version as well.
He had to remove the Beast and Foreigner Classes, but he made up for it by adding a different tech to it. At the same time, while it could be used with far less energy than the original, it still needed a good deal of energy and the Artificial Sacred Gear needed a person with a strong mentality to command it. Unlike the original, that bonded to the person who used it, this one could be used by anyone who had it on their body (in theory).
He only had the materials to make one copy of it though.
Considering it took him over 200 years of work to make the Original, and after over 100 years of studying the original and gathering materials, he only had enough to make this one he knew it would be a long time before he had the items to try again if this one was a failure. Considering that he didn't even know the original had managed to obtain a Balance Breaker until later on, he didn't know what secrets this device would have that were beyond his imagination.
"You called?"
His 'nephew' as one could call it.
Or rather, the descendant of one of his previous harem members, one could say that they were related but their blood relation was so thin that it didn't really matter. He didn't have nearly any Fallen Angel blood in him, could only sprout a single wing, and though he was a genius at combat, he developed little to no social interactive skills.
"Yes, I've going to give you this, and tell you how it is used... then maybe one day in the future I will be able to see the First Great Servant War... to see a grand battle of servants againct each other for a great prize." Azazel spoke as he tossed the Artifical Sacred Gear across the room. He would need to find a prize befitting of great warriors of history battling each other. "Lets see if we can't start a rivalry even greater than the rivalry between the Red and White Dragon Emperors." Azazel laughed to himself.
He might be dooming the world to ruins, but damn if this wasn't going to be a hell of way for it to go. It would be far more amusing to watch the Uzumaki clan's Servo Evocazione go up against his new Servo Alternative. He wondered if the new version would be able to hold up against the standards of the old version, considering the new one still used inferior materials to the old one.
It was hard to beat a Sacred Gear that used a fragment of the Holy Grail, a stolen fragment of the original Excalibur, and another couple of ingredients that he might get into a lot of trouble if their origin ever got revealed.
-With Naruto-
'A shiver?' Naruto thought to himself.
"We're going to cut you."
"Well, this is Assassin, Jack the Ripper, and she is going to be your final test. Be careful, other than Berserker, she might be my most loyal servant. She's hard for me to control in some cases, and she has a real bone to pick with women in general." Naruto introduced Jack to Ravel. Ravel was just holding her breath, because she wasn't sure how she was going to handle going up against a legendary serial killer.
Ravel gulped.
"... I'm going to survive this, right?" Ravel asked Naruto.
He shrugged his shoulders.
"Jack, I would rather you not use Maria the Ripper on Ravel, got it?" Naruto requested his Assassin, and she looked at him for a moment. As if she was trying to figure out how he worded it, and if there was any special meaning behind it. She tilted her head, and grabbed her chin in thought, and Ravel would have thought Jack looked cute.
Were it not for the fact that one of the knifes was already covered in blood, showing that she had been practicing her technique on something else earlier. She wondered if she needed to be on the look out for any dead animals on the grounds?
"You would rather we not?" Jack asked to be sure.
"If possible, don't use it." Naruto confirmed for her. Since he didn't know if something was going to happen that would require she use it. Naruto looked at some of the weaknesses of his Sacred Gear listed in the back of the book, and if she was killed by something he would take a lot of damage from the recoil.
Jack smiled.
"Got it."
Ravel gulped, because that smile was filled with more malice than she had ever seen from anyone. It was the cutest face ever, but the evil inside of the smile went deeper than any devil she had ever met. That smile said everything it needed to say and more, and Ravel knew that she was about to meet the most unfair trial of all. Even more so when Berserker gave her a trial she was made to fail, and Lancer gave her a trial with no chance of success.
This trial was going to actually try and be the end of her.
"Naruto, are you going to be watching this trial this time?" Ravel knew she would at least be safe from death if he was around.
Naruto shook his head.
"Nope, I'm going back to the Human Realm, since somebody needs to tell those people that the arranged marraige was cancelled. Anyway, I'm sure Jack-" Naruto pat her on the head and gripped it lightly. Jack preened under his attention, just enjoying the physical contact like it was a drug. "-will give you a test you have a chance of passing, right?" Naruto asked Jack.
"We want to kill you, don't let us. You have until Mommy calls us back, so about 20 hours to survive. If you survive, we pass you, if we kill you, then you fail." Jack stated as she held her knifes up.
Naruto gave Ravel a thumbs up.
"Test start!"
Ravel had a knife in her head already, right between the eyes as she collapsed onto her back out cold. Naruto looked down at Ravel, and then at Jack as she removed the knife. Ravel's wound burst into flames and fixed itself.
"You get a 20 minute head start running, just to even things out... Jack, I will remind you shouldn't actually kill her. She fails if she is put in a situation where she would really die, aka... don't actually kill her." Naruto told Ravel as he stopped Jack from stabbing her again. He could tell that if he didn't give Ravel a head start, then Jack would just keep stabbing her over and over again until she lost all of her magical power and was unable to regenerate herself.
Jack planned on killing Ravel, but he needed to even things out so that they were at least fair enough to give Ravel a chance at victory.
"19:59... 19:58..." Jack started to count down.
Ravel took that as her clue to get out.
'Okay, fuck this little monster, I'm going to find a place to hide for 20 hours where she can't find me. I am NOT fighting this girl, she WILL kill me the second Naruto isn't looking!' Ravel knew what she needed to do.
Her best course of action?
Be a fucking coward, because she was not beating this girl in combat. That girl's speed had been next level, and she had no chance of launching a good counterattack against a speedy devil with such accurate knowledge of how to take down a person. She was going to be a chicken until the test was over. She had proved her bravory against Mordred and Berserker already, she didn't need to prove that aspect of herself AGAIN.
-Five Hours Later-
"We found yooooou~!"
"EEEEEK!?" Ravel screamed from her 8th hiding place when she got a knife in her kidney. Jack appeared from behind her and stabbed her before she even realized that she was there. It was insane, no matter where she hid she always got found by Jack. The text wasn't even halfway done, and if she were any other person she would have been dead 9 times over. She summoned her flaming wings and used her magic to blow up the door to the safe that she was in.
She had actually locked herself in a safe, but even that hadn't been enough to stop Jack from finding and stabbing her.
Jack just smiled and let her fly off.
"Oh, we will always find... with the scent of those burning wings following you, and that female stench, no matter where you fly off too, we will always find you." Jack whispered as she sniffed the burning scent of Ravel's wings and followed after her. No matter how far she flew, or where she hid herself, she was just too good at tracking and killing to allow any victim to escape.
The perfect killer.
Small, fast, virtually undetectable with skills to take down any given enemy no matter the situation. Female enemy, she had instant kills for that, male enemy, she had acidic mist for that, magical enemy, her mist lowered magical abilities that were inside of it. No matter what device was used to try and sense her, her special abilities allowed her to always escape detection no matter the source.
"It's not night just yet... just a little while longer, and we will end you... because we must protect Mommy?" Jack whispered as she licked Ravel's blood off of her knife. She started to run after the Ravel's scent, knowing that she would find her again sooner or later.
That made this fun though.
Facing against an enemy that could regenerate from her knifes, now that was something quite more pleasant to cut into. She could hear Ravel's screams for hours, maybe even days if she paced herself enough to keep a being like Ravel alive. The girls that accused Naruto had died far too early for her taste, she would have loved it if they could regenerate, so that she could personally show them hell for as long as she was able.
-14 Hours Later-
"Fucking evil monster, how do you keep finding me!?" Ravel asked as she looked at the wound on her arm not healing itself quickly. She looked at Jack, and saw that she was still completely ready to fight.
Mist was in the area, and it was night, but thanks to her devil eyes Ravel could still see very clearly in the dark.
"The conditions are set... and look at you, not worthy of Mommy... guess I have no choice."
Jack pulled out two knifes, and her body started to glow with black energy. Her eyes turned blood red, and her knifes glowed red as well.
"Wh-what?"
"Yeah, let's murder it. Hell is starting. We are the flames, rain, power... Let there be a slaugher..." Jack moved with unreal speed and stealth. Ravel couldn't see where Jack went into the mist, and she looked around in a panic.
A red glint in the mist.
Too close to avoid.
"Maria the Ripper!" Jack shouted out as she appeared next to Ravel with the dagger already swinging in motion. "YOU FAIL!" Jack's knife was an inch away from Ravel's skin.
She smiled sadistically as she looked at Ravel's fearful features.
Jack's eyes widened when her mist vanished from the area. Ravel had both of her hands out in shock and horror, but as the dagger went into her body and the effect was negated. Jack pulled the knife out and Ravel stepped back holding her stabbed side.
"... Mist, Night, and Female... the conditions for your power. At that last second, I figured it out..." Ravel stated as she pointed a shaky hand at Jack.
Jack grit her teeth, but the mist appeared again.
"I can make the mist appear anytime I want!"
Her body started to glow.
"The test is over." Ravel stated with a smile, knowing she was being called back by Naruto. Jack just grit her teeth tighter and glared at Ravel.
"... You fail..."
"So what? Just because I can't have an arranged marraige, doesn't mean that I can't get Naruto to love me? You know what, fuck all of you that failed me... just to spite you all, I refuse to give up." Ravel flipped Jack off even as she vanished.
All the tests were over.
Ravel Phenex failed.
Yet, despite her failure she refused to give up.
Chapter End!
