Quartzer 3

1573: A another sisterly reunion and a hidden labyrinth

3rd POV

Inside a maze, Okeanos

Year 1573

We then cut to a girl who looks like Stheno only with a much simpler design who was now getting tired, "Ugh, no good. So tired, can't move, can't run. I've never run so much in my life. Why am I a Servant in the first place? don't see "myself" here– Nor my "loser sister" either... ...No, even if that girl isn't here, I'm fine. I'm so fine in all sorts of ways... Sigh... I wonder who I'm talking to. In the first place, this maze is "that" labyrinth, right? There's no way...out of here... and no string. ...Wait, that means HE is here. As long as this labyrinth exists, HE is sure to be here." As soon as she said she felt something, "! I knew it... Something's coming from behind, too... ARGH! What am I supposed to do? Auuuuuggggghhhh!"

She shouted as she heard the footsteps getting closer. With her face filled with fear.

Meanwhile in the Golden Hind, Okeanos

Year 1573

On Drake's ship, we saw that she was getting concerned, "Hmm?"

Mash and the others then look at her with confusion, "Something the matter?"

"I agree you look kind of confused…" Zeronos agreed.

"Yes, the air tastes different here."

"Tastes...different?"

"What do you mean by that?" Jeanne Alter asked.

"In different countries and lands, the air changes flavor. The distance between England and France aside, when you travel to a new continent, the air really tastes differently."

"Hmm. Perhaps Miss Drake can detect changes in the wind due to differences in temperature and currents?"

"What's this "Miss Drake" business? You sound creepy when you put it that way, Mister Scholar!"

"S-Sorry. Please excuse me, Drake. Mash, Fujimaru-kun, Tokiwa-kun. What Drake says may be correct. Your current location has obvious different temperatures and currents than the previous island. With a little more time, I'm sure we can determine exactly where you are."

"Boss! There's a ship to the northwest!"

"All right, what flag?"

"A pirate's flag I've never seen!" The crew member confirmed.

"So, an enemy! Mash, Fujimaru, everyone, get ready! Time to get to work!" Drake shouted.

"Aye, aye, Captain Drake! Here we go, Master! Everyone!" Mash shouted.

Decade then smirked, "My… She really is now energetic, huh?"

They then started to attack the enemy ship, with them easily thrashing the enemy pirates. With Den-O muttering, "Geez this guys are really weak!"

As they finished at beating up the Pirates, Drake then muttered, "All right, this side's taken care of."

"This side as well. They were below average in combat power."

"Boss, here's their Jolly Roger."

"Hmm, it doesn't look familiar. Mash, do you have any ideas?"

"If it's a famous flag, it might be in our records. Doctor, can you look into this?"

"Can you do that, Doc?" Tsukuyomi asked.

"Okay. You'll have the results right away."

"All right, then I'm advancing this ship. If this chart is right, the island should be in sight soon!"


Cue Opening Theme: Over Quartzer by Shuta Sueyoshi Ft ISSA)

As another Order opens this time Zi-O and Ritsuka are going to journey across the seas. As they search for the next Holy Grail and fix the next Era.

Oh, yeah, Oh...

We saw Mash, Ritsuka, Roman, Da Vinci look and marveled at the Rider kicking Kamen Riders, when suddenly they saw Zi-O, Den O, Ghost, Build, Wizard and Decade walking as their faces are now shown.

We then saw Woz turning his book as it shows a shadowy figure with white hair and black eyes.

We then saw the Riders riding their backs, as Shadowy figures started walking. As the Rider kicks started moving.

We then saw Zi-O riding through the blaze. With Drake and Faiz readying their weapons as the former's crew alongside Kaia, Delta, Aqua and Mari appeared.

We then saw heroes standing with serious looks on their eyes. With Artoria Pendragon splitting into her three aspects. With Faiz Blaster, Francis Drake and the Auto Vaijin blasting at the enemies.

We then saw the Riders as well as the Servants fighting some enemies. With Woz using his Kamen Rider Ginga Miridewatch.

We then saw Zi-O using his sword.

Mabayui sekai Misete

As it switches to Geiz with them duking it out as the title appears.


Ritsuka POV

On an Island, Okeanos

Year 1573

As they land on the Island Romani said, "Yes. This island is way bigger than the other one. That's why we were able to locate a Leyline. I'm sending you the coordinates, just follow them for now. But be careful... I'm detecting multiple life-forms."

"Okay then thanks Doc." Tsukuyomi said.

"Roger that. Drake, we'd like to head this way. Would that be all right with you?"

"It's fine. I was thinking of going in the same direction as well." Drake replied.

"Then we'll depart. Let's go, Senpai. Everyone." Mash said.

"Yeah!"

"This place is huge... Hard to imagine it's an island. This wind is amazing."

"...All true. Master, doesn't this feel like the time we were in– "

"You mean Rome?"

"I believe it's closer to Rome than France. Master, we're almost at the designated coordinates." Mash said.

"...What the heck is that?" Drake shouted she points at a bunch of Skeleton soldiers coming their way.

"That–appears to be a skeleton, but something is slightly off."

Yeah, it is as if they are puppets…"

"You're right Tenkuji-kun. They are Dragon Tooth Warriors. Soldiers forged from dragon fangs. Fujimaru-kun, Everyone, dispose of them."

"You got it Doc! Everyone! Let's go!" Den-O shouted. As he and the others started to fight the Skeletons with Ghost and Specter having the most effective damage. As they finish at destroying the Skeletons. Mash declared.

"The battle has ended, Master. Everyone. Creating terminal point."

"...Huh? Something just..."

"Something just what?" Kivala asked.

"What's wrong?" Mash asked.

"Is everything okay?"

"No, just my imagination. You can start setting up as usual."

This caused everyone to face palm, "Doc!"

"Very well Now, then– "Mash said.

Da Vinci then explained, "–All right, everyone. Time for a little history lesson, courtesy of yours truly. Right now, you're in the middle of the Age of Exploration. Many things were imported from the East, and Europe started advancing into the new land, fighting to gain a foothold. One of many things imported from the East were spices. Nutmeg, cloves, and peppercorns...or pepper Pepper was necessary to help eat decomposing meat. In this era, it was more precious than gold. Case in point. I just transferred a pepper shaker to you. What do you think would happen when you hand that to Captain Drake. Try it."

"Seeeeeeeeriously?"

Zi-O then muttered, "She collapsed."

"Yeah, looks like she passed out."

"Jeez she really is klutz."

Faiz sighs as he tends to her.

"Amusing, right? Oh, and be sure to retrieve it. We shouldn't aimlessly disrupt their economy. In the meanwhile, the summoning circle is up.
Use it to your heart's content."

"Summoning circle confirmed. Terminal point established." Mash confirmed.

"Oh, and yes... I got a hit on that pirate flag from earlier– That's the flag of the legendary *ate, ** of the "**." In other words, those pirates are *** called *****."

"Doctor? Doctor, the communications are acting up– Doctor!?"

"Doc! Can you hear us!?" Zi-O shouted.

"We've lost contact. What on earth could have..."

They then felt the ground shaking with Geiz muttering, "Woah! What the… an Earthquake?"

"Eek! An earthquake?"

"Get down. It's a big one!" Drake shouted.

"And be careful!" Faiz added.

As the earthquake subsided, Mash remarked, "...It settled down. Master, Everyone, are you alright?"

"Yes, we're all fine."

"No worries."

"Seems that way. Thank goodness. How about you, Drake?" Mash asked.

"That was a breeze compared to a raging ocean. But I'm worried about my ship and crew. Can we go back for a bit?" Drake replied.

"Let's do that." Mash agreed.

"Yes, we need to make sure Mari and the others!" Faiz agreed.

They then went back to the ship, with Mash saying, "The summoning circle has been established, but communications are still cut off. We should move away from here, perhaps."

"Huh? Hey, what's wrong? Something up?" Drake said as they ran towards the ship one of the crew members shouted.

"Boss... The ship won't move."

"Huh?"

"What the… What happened?"

"The ship, Boss! The ship won't budge, not an inch!"

This caused the others to be really shocked, "...Sorry, but could you guys wait a second?" She then check at the ship.

"No good, it won't move. But I don't think there's anything wrong with the ship itself. It's stuck like something's anchoring it real tight. What on earth is happening? Fujimaru, this is your specialty, right?"

"Ritsuka do you have any ideas?"

"I guess… A type of Bounded Field?"

Mash then agreed, "Yes, I believe that is correct. It looks like a Bounded Field has been drawn all around. Its rank is low enough for Demi-Servants like me to escape... But I can't say the same for the ship. Unless we take down whoever is creating this field, I'm afraid we'll be stuck here forever."

"What are we gonna do?"

"Search and destroy. There is no other means of escape."

"So all we had to do was to find this barrier and destroy it." Medusa said.

"All right if you say so then it must be true. Men! Stand your ground! Behave and stay put. The real fight's gonna be above sea. Don't be wasting stuff!" Drake shouted at the others.

"Aye, aye, Boss!" the Pirates shouted.

They then started to go towards the source of the field, where they saw a fortress as they continue to run Drake muttered, "This is rather dull.
That fortress earlier was completely empty, too."

"To begin with, it's mysterious that artificial structures are on this island. But that pattern... Could it be?"

"What is it? What did you find, Mash?" Zi-O asked.

"Hmmm? Is there a hole in that mountain?" Mash said as she pointed to an entrance carved in the mountain.

Decade then said, "Let's take a look then everyone."

"Agreed." Everyone said.

Inside the maze, Okeanos

Year 1573

As they entered the Maze, Medusa was now feeling uneasy with Tsukuyomi asking, "Is something wrong?"

"This place it feels familiar to me."

"This is..."

"Is this what you call a dungeon? Oh boy, the pirate blood in me is heating up!"

"Wait! We have no idea what the scope of this place is. I suggest we retreat at once and– "

"The way I see it, retreating's not gonna change a thing. That's what it means to stay on my ship. The way I see it, retreating's not gonna change a thing. That's what it means to stay on my ship. Leave behind that goodie-goodie old self, Mash! Now, onwards! Treasure awaits!"

"I think we're rushing it too much..."

"Hey! Hey! Where not done talking!" Geiz shouted.

Suddenly they heard a growling sound, from which they saw that it was a group of monsters, "See, they're here. Let's clean this up quickly!" They then started to finishing them off easily.

As they continue to walk, they are now split into two entrances, "I mean... Seriously!"

"Right or left... My gut says left!"

"Man… she really is handful…" Kivala said.

"Should we trust her instincts, Mash?" Ritsuka asked.

"I don't think so... But Captain Drake is a first-rate pirate. She must also have keen intuition. ...P-Probably."

"And Mash, do you remember where the entrance is?" Tsukuyomi asked.

"Don't worry, I've recorded everything just in case. Not that I'd ever forget... It's just a matter of going back the way we came. Getting separated along the way would be a bigger problem. ...Oh I know. Master, let's hold hands."

"What!"

"It'd be a disaster if we got separated here. Holding hands would prevent that from happening." Mash answered.

"But we don't have to…"

"Umm... I understand how you feel, but this is no time to be embarrassed, Master. If we get separated, we might be wandering in this maze until we die. It may be a bit awkward at first, but better safe than sorry..." Mash exclaimed.

"Umm… Awkward…" Zi-O muttered.

"Are you embarrassed too, Mash?"

"...N-No comment. At any rate, we have now just proven that holding hands is necessary. If you'll excuse me. ...That reminds me, back then–
You held my hand like this, too. Now, it feels nostalgic. Even though not much time has passed."

"Fou. Fou, Fou!" Fou muttered.

"Hmmm? Hang on a moment. ...I smell something." Drake said.

"What is it?"

"Yeah, I agree what is that you smell?"

"Blood."

This caused the others to be concerned, "Wait are you sure?" Faiz asked.

"...Well, with my job I'm used to smelling stuff like this." They then saw drops of blood on a path.

"Look, the drops form a trail."

"Looks like the wound itself wasn't that bad. A flesh wound." Drake said.

"It's our only clue. We should follow it!" They then started to follow the trail only to stop because of the trail stopping.

"The blood trail stops here. I guess we'll have to give up tracking it further?"

"Not necessarily. Master, please stand back."

"Looks like there are more of them."

"This is great. I was getting bored of dungeon-crawling anyway. Let's take a break and light our guns up! All right, bring it on!"

They then started to fight the skeletons, with them having a good time at destroying them as they destroy the last skeletons. Drake then smiled, "Well, fighting these non-humans, including the bones back there, means I now got some more great tales to tell. Anyway, even these things die when you shoot a lead bullet through them. I learned something!"

"No, normally that wouldn't have any effect. It's because you possess the Holy Grail... I think it continuously grants your wish of, "Whatever it is, gunfire is effective."" Mash explained.

"Yes, after all they are undead." Specter said.

"Oh, is that what it is? So, I guess I shouldn't wonder about when the Wild Hunt is happening then." Drake smiled.

Meanwhile, we saw that the girl that looks like Stheno alongside a large silhouette man is now looking at the heroes with the girl saying, "Hey, it looks like they're here again. I thought you wiped them out... Oh dear, isn't this just troublesome. What do you wanna do?" The man growled, "...Hmmm. If you want to rampage, then be my guest? Let me warn you... I don't like breaking a sweat. So, I'm not helping you." She then looks at Medusa and thought, "But still to think that she is here…"

Back at the heroes, Drake was now saying, "Hmmm... It's not like we're lost in here, but I'm still getting all kinds of bad vibes."

"Bad vibes? What about you, Master?"

"Well… Looks to me that I sense an encounter." Ritsuka said.

"...Encounter? Hmm... What on earth could we encounter inside this dungeon, Master? Don't tell me you're expecting to run into ..." But as they continue to walk Drake stopped as she senses something.

"! Stop right there!"

"!"

"What is it, Drake?" Faiz asked.

"Seems my hunch was right. Something's headed our way!" Drake shouted.

"Don't tell me…"

"This is... a Servant!"

They then heard a voice shouting, "...Die." They then saw a man with white furry hair, bull horns and red eyes attacking them.

"-It's huge! What on earth is this thing?"

"It looks like the Minotaur…" Ghost said.

"Me... Asterios... Kill... All... You!" the Minotaur growled.

"Another Berserker, like Eric the Bloodaxe King! Guess there's no use arguing! Master, please be careful. Asterios is his lesser-known, original name– People more commonly know him as the "Minotaur." He's one of the monsters from Greek mythology!"

"Woah the genuine Minotaur?"

"This labyrinth is his territory. A retreat is not an option. ...Let's go, Master! Everyone!" Mash declared.

They then started to fight Asterios who was somewhat clumsy at his fighting style. With the heroes easily beating him, "Th-That was close! Wait... No way!"

"Ugh...gi! Uh...uhh!"

"You're still alive after eating all those bullets? Talk about gluttony!"

"Pro...tect!"

Drake then smiled, "Then it's time to bring out the culverin cannons! If we blow his head off, he's sure to go down!" She then summons her cannons pointing at Asterios, "Now–give Davy Jones my regards!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! We don't have to go that far! Drake." Faiz shouted at Drake as she started to attack Asterios.

"Ugh!"

"...Hold up!" A voice that makes Medusa widen her eyes. She and the others saw the girl who then looks at Medusa with contempt.

"Oh no... Two Servants?"

"And that girl looks like Stheno…" Zi-O said.

"All right! All right! I guess I just have to go with you. Do whatever you want with me! Just hurry up! Asterios is near death. He wouldn't be much use to you. Besides, if we take too long, he'll die and then the labyrinth will collapse on you. –We should hurry back. Leave the navigation to me."

"...Uh..."

"U-Umm, I'm sorry. Do you have a moment?" Mash asked.

"What is it, Miss Lame-Shield? Let's hurry up and go where "he" is."

"-Lame!?"

"Nee-sama!"

"Hey brat, don't talk to us like that. You're the one getting rescued." Drake said scolding the girl.

"Huh? I don't think that's a way to talk to a grown woman." The girl replied.

"–Some nerve. Wanna sub in for the goddess statue at the ship's bow?"

"Goddess statue? ...I'm not really sure what you mean, but I AM the goddess, Euryale. Wait, you chased after me not even knowing that? Obviously, you wouldn't have anything like me, a full super idol, onboard your ship. You should at least remember my name, sheesh. Where are you from anyway, third-rate pirate? "The girl Euryale said.

"Euryale as in your sister, Medusa?" Sayo asked.

"Yes… Sorry about her…"

"Y-You little brat!"

"Hey! Hey! You've misunderstood!"

"Huh? What? Wait... Why, you're a human. Hm? Hmmm? Are you the Master of "that thing?" What brings you here? No, before all else, if you're the Master you must discipline your Servants! What's with that perverted Servant anyway? You can't find something that disgusting, even in Greece! And to think you have Medusa here."

"U-Umm, excuse me– It's not like we were chasing you!" Mash shouted.

"Yes, can you just please listen for once, Nee-sama!"

"...Huh? Then what on earth were you doing?"

"We are– "

"Are. You. Serious–! You guys are so misleading!" Euryale said confused.

"Look who's talking! You trapped us inside a Bounded Field. Wouldn't it be natural for us to assume you're our enemy?" Mash shouted.

"Umm yeah…" Den-O agreed.

"Guh..."

"Ahh, Asterios! You don't have to move. You're tough. If you just stay still, you won't die. ...You won't die, right?"

"...Urm."

"There's no need to worry. These guys aren't associated with "him."" Euryale said to Asterios.

"...Pardon me. We were a bit shaken up as well. Asterios over there is the one who put up the Bounded Field?" Mash asked.

"That's right. But it wasn't to trap you guys in. It was to prevent the enemies outside from entering." Euryale explained.

"I see. But, unless you remove this field, we'll be stuck in here..."

"...Mmm, fine."

"Well, that didn't take a lot of convincing."

"It's a simple numbers game. There are only two ways out of here. Either Asterios dies, or we remove the field. In that case, I'd rather remove the field. ...It's much better than being alone."

"I get it now…"

"...I see. Yes, I like you. But you're so cornered that you had to put up this "Bounded Field" thing, right?"

"–It has nothing to do with you."

"It does! See, I love interesting things." Drake grinned.

"...Huh?"

"A trip around the world. Adventure. Dungeons. Monsters. This world has so many interesting things to offer! Interesting things tend to be more valuable. That's how this world works. That's why I became a pirate. But that's that. Anyway, you smell like money. That's why I'm bringing you aboard my ship." Drake said.

"H-Hey! You can't just decide that on your own! Board your ship? You must be insane! I already decided! I'm not leaving Asterios behind!"

"..."

"...Huh?"

"So much guts and power... And quite a hunk if you look at him long enough! I'd be the laughingstock of pirates if I let this talent slip by! Hey, would you like to be a bodyguard on my ship? If you refuse, there's nothing I can do. Hey, you, will you die unless you're cooped up inside a labyrinth?"

"Th-That's not really the case. ...Are you sure? Of course I am. I'll pay you well, too. Oh, but don't expect any benefits from us."

"That's not the issue. I mean... As long as you are okay with it. ...Asterios. What do you want to do?"

"Go."

"...Are you sure?"

"If...you...go...me...follow. Alone...lonely."

"I see. Very well, then... We'll board your ship. Ah! But I'll need you to prepare my own room. I have no intent of showing my face to common pirates. Of course, your ship has a bath, right? Oh, and also– "

"Senpai, Senpai! ...It seems things went quite well without us interjecting." Mash muttered.

"All's well that ends well. I guess." Ritsuka said.

"...Good point. Still, a Minotaur was supposedly a monster. One that devoured children offered up as sacrifice, but– Put me on your shoulders, Asterios. Oh my, you're even taller than my "loser sister."" Euryale said while sitting on Asterios shoulder causing Medusa to be downed.

"Uh... Uh... Uh..."

"Ouch! Crouch down a little more! My head's gonna hit the ceiling!"

"Uuu..."

"Ahahaha! Goddesses sure have lots of demands!" Drake smiled.

"Fou!"

"Can't believe this, I thought Stheno was bad. But Euryale is worse." Geiz muttered.
