"Well, this was a eventful year..." Izuku says to himself, looking back on it a lot had happen, a little too much, from Gilgamesh being a mage king who Izuku summon in a crisis, to meeting everyone and learning magic, and that it created quirks, it's truly something. He smiles at all the memories he made, from his time with servants to, meeting his mentor Kischur, Sister Rin and Luvia, and of course meeting Ochaco and Mei...
"I wonder how their doing right now back home, after the New year party it's been a few weeks... after I...'Matou'!!"
Izuku jolted awake, Matou was still out there!! What should Izuku do if Matou seeks revenge or goes after everyone else to get to Izuku, Izuku needs to stop him, but how, Li is here so Izuku is safe, and at Home so was Mom as Archer, Nightingale, Asterios, and Touya were there, but why is he so worried?
Would Matou seek revenge, would he actually take Izuku two hands to use it for his goals as a weapon, Kischur told Izuku that the Holy Church were able to do such things to the hands of a sinner but Izuku wasn't one or label as one by the church yet...but the possibility is still there.
Izuku thought for second before breathing and thinking it through...
Matou, is rash from some point of view but cold calculating at times? But it feels off like their not one but two different people... was he mentally insane? No, a soul in two bodies maybe...but then. "Sigh*"
Izuku couldn't sleep as these thoughts roamed his mind. But soon enough he was to tired to keep himself awake and drifted off to sleep, as he felt a strange calling.
Void
In the void once again, Izuku sighed its odd this isn't really a common occurrence, but he felt that there was something that triggers these. Maybe it has to do with locations but that wouldn't make sense as Gilgamesh's Dream meeting was in Japan, maybe books but then why didn't Da Vinci or Asterios appear in a dream, not to mention Li shuwen who he hadn't read about before, and Archer wasn't someone he read about or heard of... could it be...an emotional trigger? He was very stress when it happen to Gilgamesh and Shakespeare and they came at a time of need while the other servants answered his calls while he tried to summon...
"does this mean the throne is answering my call due to my emotions?"
That was a high probability, and with the addition on being in heroic spirits homeland strength it, does this mean in the future he can summon others by meeting them first?
"So just like having an item that relates to use as a catalyst for the servant I can summon, the homeland strengthen the possibility as well"
As Izuku mutter on and on he didn't notice the scenes changed, he was now within a old house of a noble where a man was telling a fortune or rather prophecy to a noble that his kin will be king. As this man leaves he waves at Izuku to come along. Izuku felt there wasn't anything to be afraid of, and did indeed follow, the man didn't speak to Izuku and oddly enough this time Izuku couldn't speak or rather tried to but got no response, so Izuku assume he would only be serving as a witness to the events.
He watched the events played through as a young boy(?) slowly grew up, and lived a life away from her own family because this boy was a girl that was destined to be king, and through many hard fought battle. Izuku slowly pieced together the identity of the two they are Merlin and King Arthur or rather Arturia, it was surprising but Gilgamesh did explain that history wasn't all that it seemed to be.
Izuku Silently watched the Young Arturia pulling the sword out of the stone even after Merlin words of advice, and became the legendary king that history, myth, and legends talked about. It was odd as Izuku couldn't interact with the people nor events, except for Merlin who from time to time would block Izuku's views or stops him, but he knew what was happening. While Arturia's goal was Noble, she was not a saint, Izuku doesn't hate her for it, this was war and the world is hardly so black and white, each and every opposing side had a reason to fight but not always a just reason. As Izuku watches her rise with her Knights of the round table he couldn't help but feel sad how things slowly fall apart. Arturia tried she really did but the identity of a king and a person was a bit too much for her. Izuku can't do much but just watch as Lancelot ran away due to his guilt and fear, despite the blessing Arturia gave to him and Guinevere. Izuku watched the madness that consumes Lancelot he tried to reach out but his hand phased through. Then the world changes and Izuku was in the void again.
Only for chaos to emerge.
The fields of Camlann/ Meeting Modred
"Merlin if you can hear me... why?...Why am I witnessing this?I wanted to protect my loved one from something I fear, are you trying to tell me something?" Or was it the throne doing this too him.
Merlin didn't appear so Izuku continue on walking through the landscapes. He saw the upbringing of Modred, who turns out to be a homunculus of Arturia, she looked up to her just like how Izuku looked up to Allmight, but the rejection hurts. Izuku knew how that felt it but there was a slight difference, the scene changed, upon a battlefield loaded with corpses Izuku tried not to look, and did his best to not gag but then he saw it Modred impaled by Arturia, who then told Modred why she couldn't become king. Modred in turn used her last strength to strike Arturia who would later die due to the wound. As Modred falls to the ground with a hole in her abdomen the ground collapses the mountains of corpse disappear and only a pathway to Modred. Izuku walks over, and takes out a handkerchief to wipe away the blood on Modred's mouth, as he lifted up his hand Modred grabs his hand, since she was weaken she could barely pull out any strength. She looks at Izuku, who was surprised, since this was the first person he met in this dream scape that actually see and touch him.
"Who... are..y"
"Hello Modred my name is Izuku Midoriya..."
"So you know... foreigner...of my name as the...traitorous knight of king..."
Izuku shake his head, "No, that's not it Modred your not a Traitor, your the knight that the king trusted in when she was away."
"Hehe... brat knows how to..talk.. but flattery will get you no where...well not like I can do much..."
"This isn't flattery but the truth, you tried to prove yourself, for your ideals, admiration, and dreams to become king... but don't fault King Arturia...as you guys are more alike one way or another" Izuku says with a smile.
"What would you know...brat that...I haven't figured out already?!"
"Arturia was only 15 when she took up her duties, she gave up things as a human to go on a path of a king, Modred you skipped through your childhood because you were born differently, both grew up to do something world changing at a young age, don't you see the similarities?"
"I suppose..."
"I admired someone once too...but it not always what you expected when you meet your admirers.."
"You don't... have to tell me.. that" Modred said.
"But that's why you go prove them wrong!! But of course not always by fighting them but do what you can to make them see the changes you can do when they say you couldn't."
Modred thought for awhile if she didn't lead the rebellion rather lead the people to a better life while Arturia was away could she have... maybe but what does it matter now...
"Maybe your... right kid, but it's too late now... I am a dying person..."
"Well is it okay if I summon you in the future?"
Modred brow arched what was this boy talking about, and then memories of a grailwar, and Singularities, and Chaldea flown through her minds... it was complete silence for a few minutes, then she smiled.
"And why... would I let you?"
"So we can become Heroes of Modern time to change Society and let Arturia witness what she missed out when denying you of the throne!!"
"Hahaha, you got me there... fine I'll show father what I am capable of, but Kid you think you can summon a friend of mine too?"
"Umm sure if they want to which one of the knights is it?"
"No not them, she is...from a different period her name is Fran, or better known as Frankenstein's Monster,"
Izuku looked surprised the throne of heroes was indeed a very confusing place now for him to be able to summon a fictional character, but he nodded nervously,
"I...I'll try my best?"
"Hahaha... where was that confidents you had early, but yeah you do you..." soon Modred was fading and she looked at Izuku once more,
"See yah soon...mas...ter"
Izuku then stood up to continue on the path that appears. He witnessed the end(?) of Arturia, but then see the divergence of paths, one in which she continues without the sword but a lance and grew to be more mature but colder, while two other versions falls from the paths and accepts the necessary evil as good like the Anti-hero of prequirk era fictions. Izuku couldn't Interact with them like he did with Modred, but he saw the different events unfold.
Fuyuki City
"What is happening?!" Izuku screams while running through a burning city, when the void changes once again he didn't imagine himself to be a battle ground, was this the Grail War? As he ran the city itself seemed to glitch out as some areas changed into different events and different servants fighting one another. Izuku remembered Da Vinci telling him how their worlds Grail World ended but this probably wasn't it the destruction was... just too much. Then the scene glitches once's more and he saw Arturia going against a giant eldritch abomination with her Excalibur, and then his ear picked up a familiar noise it was Vimana. Izuku couldn't see the pilot but he knew it was Gilgamesh but the person he was fighting who was he.
The battlefield once again changed but this time Izuku fell through, as the ground gave in, Izuku looked up and notice the debris became glass and shown more different servants and the grail war a few caught his attention, and then he saw two very familiar servants Archer and Gilgamesh who was now wearing armor, and then he saw Rin there but why, her grandmother never joined the Grail War. Then Izuku remembered the alternate universes and timelines, soon he lands on his back he was confused as to why he was seeing all of this.
"Throne of Heroes, why are you showing me this? Is it due to my response, or is there something I need to do?" Izuku looked around the Dark void but saw nothing and heard nothing more.
"Merlin? Modred? Anyone?..."
ClockTower
"Master... it's time to wake up... hello?... wake up...," a few minutes later Izuku jolted up from bed head butting Shakespeare in the process.
"Ouch that maybe the last time I trie to wake you up master Midoriya, but how was your dream you slept for quite some time."
Izuku looked around, wondering if this was another dream, but then took a deep breath as he he found out that he was awake at last. He had so many questions to ask to Gilgamesh, to Da Vinci, to Rin and Archer. Should he tried to summon the other servants he saw just now? No, not at the moment maybe he should discuss with Da Vinci and Kischur about his current condition.
"Tiring, sorry Mr.Shakespeare I'm just very tired, but where is Da Vinci?"
After finding her and a few long explanation later, Da Vinci and Kischur were stumped, as never before had Da Vinci ever heard masters meeting servants in dreams except for a few, but those were heroic spirits themselves forcing their copies into a masters mind, and now full on dream sessions in which allows a master to visit and see not only the servants history but a part of the alternative timeline was something else. Kischur took a moment and he along with Da Vinci theorized that the dream was apart of Izuku's power to being connected with the throne , so the fault lies on Da Vinci however the ability to see the alternative timelines may very well be from Kischur training as part of his training did also help focus Izuku advancing towards the goal of second magic. So this may have further strengthen that ability(?), which is activated through emotional triggers.
But then since Merlin was able to slightly interact with Izuku there is the possibility that the servants are trying to reach out to him too, so it would be a slightly similar case. Since Izuku is the first master who was born this way it's hard to tell what is pure speculation and what's pure fact for now Da Vinci decided that she and Kischur will look into it.
Izuku nodded at that and decided to ask Rin about her great grandmother, and the results came up no where, as she told him that her great grandmother would've been a bit to young to participate at that time. One thing that did stick out to Izuku was a familiar individual in the photo that Rin showed Izuku, it was a Young man with Red hair named Shirou Emiya, Rin's great grandfather. As Izuku stares at it longer he then blurted out the name.
"Archer?"
Back in Japan
"Achoooo*"
"Are you alright? Archer, did you catch a cold," asked a increasingly approaching Nightingale.
"Yeah, I am fine but I don't know why, but I feel like something been revealed about me, Nightingale, please put down that syringe." Archer says while washing some dishes.
"Hmm should I call back... but it would be strange..." Izuku mutter once more as the Fact a boy who looks just like Archer was with Rin's Great Grandmother,
"the throne's hero are based from history, myths, and legends but also famous works of fictions, since Modred said help her summon Fran... the throne is so confusing...ow," a rolled up book bonked Izuku on the head.
"Izuku I hope your done with the elemental formula for this set of spells for you to be muttering this early," Kischur said with a grin.
"Sorry, headmaster it's just the thought of the throne and servants I will summon in the future."
Kischur froze and looks at Izuku,
"Izuku why exactly do you want to summon so much servants, you already have more then the average grail war,"
Izuku looks up and immediately said,
"A chance for them to relive a bit of life that they didn't have."
"Hmm, continue"
"Servant in the past were summoned for a grail war, many just followed through with their master wishes to win the grail war, some for their own goals of winning as well to get a chance to achieve their dreams. Most are about saving something important to them or achieving that lost goal, others may no care and just followed through and Enjoy the fight...I want to help them. I may not have the power to rebuild their kingdom or fight a god but I want to show them and tell them that they did good." There was a long pause then Izuku finished by saying,
"I don't want them to fight against each other more then they have too, they are Heroes or people of great tales no brainless chess piece to win a game...I want to help them."
Kischur shooked his head,
"You are very naive, but that's how you are I suppose, remember this Izuku not all can be helped and not all wants to be helped, and for the Grail War I can only say sorry to make you feel that way, many versions of myself either oversee the event or was part of process that created it,"
"Izuku I won't stop you but be careful when summoning servants, and good luck on handling them."
Izuku nodded as he smile a bit at Kischur only for the book to come colliding back onto his head,
"Now back to work young man, your not getting off that easy."
"Yes...sir."
In the library, Izuku was looking for a book, the monster of Frankenstein, Modred did ask for her friend to be summon but it did make Izuku wonder what situation allowed the two to meet. A Grail War, possibly but he didn't see Modred in any of the Grail War Arturia was in so maybe a separate one Grail war then. Does this mean yesterday's Dream was solely focused on Arturia, then why was he not able to interact with her only Modred and partly Merlin?
Izuku shook his head now was probably not the time, it's best to put that off and find a bit more on Fran.
"Found it, the copy is a bit old and by a bit I mean a lot, was it the original copy? If that's the case the the magic that preserved it was good because it look pristine, but it definitely can't hide that it was from a different era."
Since today was Izuku's free day he decided to sit and read in the library.
He still received looks from onlookers and students of both the regular institutions and Mages alike. He was nicknamed the Child Prodigy, but Izuku was far from it he was just around a middle school level of education and learning a bit of magic that is all. Izuku continues to read missing out lunch and almost dinner if it wasn't for Rin who found him still captured by the book, he quickly finished dinner and continued. Izuku finished the book and really did sorry for Fran, he/she didn't asked to be born and the attempt to connect to anyone were denied even by Victor who made it, the one quote that struck Izuku's the most was Fran own words,
"I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on."
It was alone to the world, but Izuku knew that Modred would keep Fran company, he with his new family will too, and he knows that feeling but now he gotten better.
Izuku closes the book,
"Alright I think this is enough, I should rest up and be prepared to summon them, hopefully it won't be all the servants I met or seen I still wished to talk to them before anything else happen, unless otherwise"
With that he fallen asleep, only for him to wake up in his dreams to see Modred Grinning at him.
"Modred?!"
"Heya Master!" She practically yelled through the void.
"Hi... um I haven't summon you yet, so I am not your master, but if it's alright don't call me master please just Izuku will be fine..."
Modred looked at him thought for a moment then just shrugs saying, whatever.
"Now I see you been studying about Fran, would do yah think of her?"
"Her? Oh right the throne, well I don't know how much the Novel connect to her actual self but I thought Fran was kind he er...she tried to make contact with people, but only to be denied that...just like... the old..me."
Modred nodded but hearing the last part she looked at Izuku to see that he was indeed telling the truth, she'll have plenty of time to talk about it in the future so for now she'll talk about Fran.
"Yeah, I was too denied by something's but it's funny really during a Grail War me and her fought I did things that may have been me projecting myself onto her, but during a event I connected with her once more and understood her and became friends... maybe because we were both kind of similar in the fact that we both are a like in some ways...sigh*"
"You mean the Singularity right?"
"Yeah thats it, how did you know?" Modred asked in a interested tone, Izuku explains to her and Modred expression changes from a happy interested face to something of a sour(?) mood,
"You met with father, huh or rather different variations of them...one is already enough but 4 of them..."
Modred sat down, and held her hand to her face and sighed, Izuku just gave her a par on the back and smiled,
"Don't work Modred that just means you have more of them to prove them wrong," with that Modred just gave a smiled.
"Yeah!! So..when are we getting summon?"
"Ah, I don't think I will just yet..."
"Huh?! After all that talk your just gonna ditch me?!"
Modred said shaking Izuku back and forth,
"Wa..wa..wait!! Modred it's not like that, it's just I am a bit worried, at times when I summon heroic spirits I can summon multiple at a time, which isn't bad but if I were to summon everyone at the round table including your variation of your father then I wouldn't have any control over the situation, and plus I don't know how to approach them yet."
Izuku answered finally able to catch a breath,
"I see then how are you going to solve this?"
"Ummm, maybe some more training in Magecraft to boost myself a bit more and to try to keep my emotions in check in order to possibly meet every Member of the round table?"
Modred nodded, but then notice that wasn't a plan rather it was a question,
"Why are you asking me?! Your the master!!"
"But I am only 9!!"
With that answer Modred just stop and shooked her head,
"Sorry about that, then take your time then, but don't take to long or I might reject you as my master, but wait you only saw some of the singularity then have you not seen the final..."
Modred went silent, and Izuku was about to ask when he heard the sound of heels walking towards them. The sound was coming from behind him and as he turned around he saw a lone figure. She was slender,wearing a white wedding gown like dress, with a single horn on her forehead that pointed out of her hair . She approached the two,
"Fran?" Asked a surprised Modred.
AN: Ahh yes, finally the multiple Arturias, there will be more actual interactions with them but for now Modred, also fun fact I started this chapter 2/1-2/4 and started writing about Modred then I was playing FGO and Pulled out Modred... I kinda wanna test out if writing more of certain characters will let me get them hmmm...jkjk
Tsuna27Yoshi:Yep suprise thanks
NoNoSquareBoi: Thank you for reading, but the Clock tower is a University which teaches Magecraft as a hidden course for mages, along with regular University course,and so far from what is seen in MHA hero course are all implemented into Highschool, so That still hasn't changed , if I were to change it then UA would've been a university. Issue with having a hero course in the Clock Tower will be the secrets of Magecraft being exposed, and Mages even after two hundred years still prefers to keep this a secret while some upper governments know of its existence, heroes and basically the rest of society still doesn't know about it, and Mages will keep it that way even though mystery no longer is needed they still prefer to do it this way.
Also Inko was already under stress of financial situations, and plus with new people it hard to think straight under stress so things kind of got blurted out, and the Bakugou do know the Midoriya family so if you were to say relative, Mitsuki would've picked up on it because she and Inko been a long time best friend.
Anansi: Thank you for the wait
Thank you all for reading
