[Fate/Grand Order] [Fate/Stay Night]
Stuck in the Sandbox
"You're still not drinking?" Da Vinci asked as Ritsuka was nursing a glass of fruit juice, which was still full.
Da Vinci, Mash, Altria, and Ritsuka, the 'native' Loopers to the Grand Order, were joined by Shirou Emiya, Artoria, EMIYA, Kiritsugu and Sakura inside Ritsuka's Pocket. All of them sitting in the nice lounge that Ritsuka used as a meeting place inside of it.
"Well I can't actually drink right now, for one," Ritsuku admitted as she lifted an arm, letting her sleeve fall slightly to reveal a ball joint on her wrist. "But besides that, I still don't drink."
"You're more than old enough," Shirou snarked as Altria scoffed.
"Is that really what matters here?" The black Saber questioned, her counterpart shooting her a glare as she continued. "Why are we all in here?"
"Well for one the King of Mages is still alive so…" Ritsuka mused as she tugged on the collar of her shirt. "But besides the fact I don't think any of us want to get blown up again-"
"I've got a few ideas on who to catch him if he tries," Kiritsugu admitted before everyone looked at him. "Have you ever tried advanced time magic and a lot of Origin bullets? He is still using a human body afterall."
"I don't know how that would work, but I'm interested," Da Vinci admitted with a smirk as Ritsuka shrugged.
"I mean I doubt it would kill him but… actually would that cripple him? Solomon isn't actually his body, it's the big demon one," Ritsuka mused as Kiritsugu crossed his arms.
"If anyone's willing to put their lives on the line, we can test that theory," Kiritsugu asked as Altria just raised her hand.
"Are you that willing to throw your life away?" Artoria questioned with a disapproving look as Altria rolled her eyes.
"We had a recent string of Fused Loops, and I asked for a fight with the visitors. Quite a few actually," Altria admitted with a smile on her face.
"By the way, she got her ass beat," Da Vinci pointed out bluntly. "She didn't even manage to beat C-3PO, who was probably the weakest among the lot." she waved as Mash started counting off in her head.
"Um… that would be…"
"Yes I lost to that Luigi fellow, C-3PO, that shirtless guy Kamina, Gamagoori, Vergil when he replaced Saito-" Altria was cut off at that point.
"Wasn't Vergil using a literal spoon?" Mash asked as Altria frowned.
"I will break that spoon one day," she said, completely serious as she went back to listing off people. "Lavenza blew me up, Aegis shot me full of holes, and then that Fullbuster guy was the most recent one, he froze me solid."
"You're insane, you know that?" Artoria asked as Altria shrugged.
"I prefer to test my skills. I got beat, so I'll get better, it's that simple," Altria started as Mash shook her head.
"Friendly matches are fun and all, but…"
"I only got killed by Fullbuster," Altria pointed out, "You brought me back afterwards anyway."
"We really don't have a lot of Loops out do we," Ritsuka mused as Sakura looked to Altria.
"You seem to be taking your losses a lot better than I thought you would,"
"Hey she's the one who keeps causing all the property damage," Shirou muttered as Altria scoffed.
"I only blew up the cavern last time," she stated as Shirou didn't argue.
"Elaborate Shirou?" Sakura asked as EMIYA spoke up, having been quiet for a while.
"Me, Shirou and Altria were the only ones Awake that Loop. I specifically asked her to keep collateral damage to a minimum, so she proceeded to take a different route than normal and actually avoided killing anyone, even Gilgamesh, before blowing up the Grail like she normally does," he explained.
"No, I killed Kotomine and Zouken," she stated bluntly. "The worm deserved it, and the false priest can die in a fire for what he did."
"He does that in one of our baselines," Shirou pointed out.
"And as we all know it doesn't exactly stick, given he's a Pseudo-Servant in this timeline," Kiritsugu said, already thinking about how best to deal with their old enemy again this time. "Keep me around this time, I want to try the Lostbelts myself," Kiritsugu offered as Shirou sighed.
"Oh whenever I'm Awake it's easy enough to falsify the reports. I think our best run right into the first Lostbelt was the time we had everyone shoved into Ritsuka and Mash's Pockets, and I pre-downloaded myself into my little body to use my old one as a remote bomb on Kotomine."
"That didn't kill him sadly," Altria pointed out as Ritsuka chuckled.
"I think Kadoc outright pissed himself when we showed up in Russia and dumped over a hundred Servants straight into the Lostbelt with us. Needless to say we managed to actually keep him on the Border this time," Ritsuka said with a giggle.
"What were we in here for again?" EMIYA asked, trying to remember what they'd actually been here to talk about.
"Fused Loops, namely that we have far more 'in' than 'out'," Da Vinci admitted, taking a swig of whiskey and then setting the bottle down. "As in, we get a lot more people coming to us, than we spend going out into the multiverse."
"Right, my last Fused Loop was a while ago," Mash admitted as she pulled out a small computation orb. "I replaced Miss Serebryakov in Tanya's Loop, and that was my fifth Fused Loop in total," she said softly before putting the orb back into her Pocket.
"Fifth?" Shirou asked as Altria nodded.
"My first outside of your Loop would have to be the Loop I had in Hyrule," Altria admitted as EMIYA snorted.
"What did you replace Ganondorf?" he asked rhetorically as Altria smirked.
"I replaced Zelda actually," everyone looked at her in surprise. "What?"
"You. Wisdom?" Artoria asked in utter confusion as Altria leaned back in her chair.
"Please, just because I enjoy fighting and battle up close does not mean I am a fool. I've spent a lot of team planning and preparing for many occasions in our own Baseline, and variations beyond that. Ritsuka may be the one I defer to for tactical advice, but I am not simply a brute." Altria admitted before spinning her hand, making a small fireball appear over it before closing her hand into a fist, dispelling Din's Fire.
"You never use that here…" Ritsuka started as Altria shook her head.
"Class container, it weakens my magic, so as much as I would like to, it's not as effective as I would like," Altria pointed out as Da Vinci hummed.
"I wonder if we could use Saint Graph surgery then, that is the same concept we have for the Swimsuits…" the scientist started to think. "I believe I'm going to need a crash course from Scathath soon, Ritsuka, please summon her when we get out of here," Da Vinci ordered, and Ritsuka just nodded slowly as Altria rolled her eyes.
"Anyway, how many Fused Loops have you had in total Altria? Discounting the ones with Shirou's group?" Ritsuka asked as Altria hummed.
"I think I've had about… seven in total," she said after a moment of thought as Shirou raised an eyebrow. "But if we count their side, I've had a few hundred."
"I had one recently, but it was my first. Fused loop with She-Ra," Da Vinci said with a smirk but didn't elaborate. "I haven't had one since though."
"My most recent one out of Chaldea was a fused Loop with Hellsing," Ritsuka said before rolling her eyes. "Ironically, I replaced Integra, but I still wasn't human or a vampire."
"What were you then?" Sakura asked, trying to think of what she could have been as Ritsuka hummed.
"Leprechaun, don't ask," Ritsuka stated, and no one pressed further. "But that was still only my twenty-sixth Fused Loop in total."
"You all really don't get out of Chaldea much do you?" Shirou asked as Mash, Da Vinci and Ritsuka all just shook their heads.
"Thankfully this doesn't seem to be another SMT situation, given you guys get quite a few Loopers in, you all just don't seem to be going out often." EMIYA stated as Kiritsugu put a hand to his chin in thought.
"Honestly that loop where we were at the World Fair was perhaps the one we've had with the most people Awake at once, what there was… Myself, Da Vinci, Altria, and I think most of you were all Awake from your branch by the end of it," Ritsuka admitted.
"Even Kairya was Awake when we saw him during the Accel-Zero singularity, as was Waver and Iskandar again," Sakura noted calmly.
"The only person who wasn't Awake was Mash actually," Da Vinci supplied, leaving all of them thinking again before Shirou snapped his fingers.
"Maybe you guys probably aren't getting out much because your Admin's still trying to fix things to a point where the Loop is more stable," Shirou mused. It did stand to reason that if the Grand Order was unstable enough, it would need its own Anchor…
Well this place certainly had a lot of quirks, that was for sure.
"So then, how about we try and cripple Goetia?" Kiritsugu asked as Altria smirked.
"Lead the way, Ritsuka, where are we going next?" Altria asked as Da Vinci spoke up.
"Small supply mission. 1215 England," the Caster supplied as Sakura blinked.
"Isn't that when the Magna Carta was originally signed?" the currently divine Lancer asked.
"Huh, that's a new one," Ritsuka mused, crossing her arms.
"Well this promises to be interesting," Shirou noted as everyone was pulled out of the Pocket, ready to continue onward after their several hours long discussion.
"I have never been more glad to not be human as of this moment," Ritsuka mused as she was being carried by Da Vinci.
"Please don't speak Senpai, your magical energy is still leaking," Mash informed her as Shirou was following them.
As it turned out Kiritsugu's plan to plug Goetia full of Origin Bullets had worked once they got his attention (They'd made sure to recover the Grail first before Altria had proceeded to belt out several thousand curses at him, much to Roman's chagrin), and they'd actually managed to destroy the body of Solomon with Kiritsugu stopping time and putting about two hundred Origin Rounds into him.
That had only managed to piss Goetia off, as the real one then warped in, and grabbed Kiritsugu and crushed his skull and heart before the assassin could react, and then murdered Altria coldly and efficiently, rather than just nuking London. Then he'd proceeded to nuke London anyway, with Mash using Lord Camelot and a single grail to once again avert disaster.
Of course after Mash had done that, and dropped Lord Camelot, Goetia had attempted yet another murder, this time of Ritsuka, and had succeeded in ripping a massive hole through her torso and ripping off both her legs and left arm, and crushing most of the left side of Ritsuka's head. He hadn't gone beyond that for some reason, having stopped after brutalizing the Master and warping away with the nine rings of Solomon and nary a word spoken.
"Word to the wise, never tempt the King of Mages," Da Vinci noted as Sakura was carrying Ritsuka's legs.
"I meant we did something right?" She asked as EMIYA huffed.
"We did, but dad got his ass beat for it," the red Archer noted as Artoria was smirking.
"I thought it was at least somewhat amusing," Artoria offered as Da Vinci led them into her workshop and dropped Ritsuka on the table.
"Do any of you have experience with doll making?" she asked and Shirou walked up to begin aiding the renaissance woman with repairing Ritsuka. So much for the idea of dealing with Goetia early with strange firepower.
"So I didn't actually ask, what Classes were they all?" Shirou asked as Ritsuka sat across from him. They were in Hawaii at the moment, the Luluhawa Singularity. They'd ended up with a few more Awake Loopers, namely Irisviel and Medusa, during the intervening years between the first and second Grand Orders.
"You mean the visiting Loopers?" Ritsuka asked, raising her sunglasses as Shirou looked her up and down. She wasn't even trying to hide the fact her body was fake, but given how Luluhawa was Servants only, she didn't seem to care. Anywhere there should have been proper joints, like her elbows, shoulders or hips, she had obvious ball joints and given the shorts and sleeveless shirt she was wearing, the only ball joints not visible at the moment were said hips.
"Yeah, when we have visitors they tend to only get summoned in the base seven classes," Shirou noted as Ritsuka hummed.
"Well let's see… Luigi was an Assassin, we figured out he probably could have been summoned in either Caster or Rider as well. Don't ask about why he could be summoned as Rider," She started, spinning around the straw of her drink. She'd gotten a recent upgrade from Da Vinci to her doll body to actually allow her some semblance of 'human' function.
"Why was he an Assassin then?" he asked as Ritsuka smirked.
"It was actually due to his variety of martial techniques and general ability to go unnoticed in favor of his brother, who we never summoned by the way. Given his normal lack of a weapon in Baseline he was already mostly out when it came to the other classes, and he didn't fit any of the extra classes," Ritsuka explained as Shirou nodded.
"3PO was the most interesting actually. He was summoned as a Moon Cancer," Ritsuka noted as Shirou hummed.
"Moon Cancer? Isn't that what the hackers use as their class?" he noted.
She nodded. "Yeah, we figured out after a bit of guesswork that he was capable of being a Moon Cancer because he was a droid. The exact requirements seem to change from Loop to Loop, but it is notable that all of Moon Cancer's normal candidates are hackers, and that does seem to be the consistent requirement, so maybe that's one of the reasons why?"
"That's about as good a reason as any… What about Kamina?"
"Oh lord… that one was… interesting. Sometimes we end up summoning multiple copies of the same Looper, just in different classes. Another example would be Tanya, we've had her a few times, and we've actually summoned her all at the same time under all her various classes at once one time. The seven basic classes, Avenger, Ruler and Pretender."
"Wait back up. Ten Tanya von Degurechaffs?" Shirou asked and Ritsuka nodded.
"Yep, ten of her. They all hated each other to varying degrees, most of them hating Ruler the Most. Saber was her as the most modern wielder of the Excalibur. Her Lancer form was tied to the Lance of Longius, apparently that one was scooped up by the Holy Church of our world, since it was a very clean Fused Loop. She was the Devil of Rhine as Archer. When she was her Caster self, the third most mature she was 'The Silver Chancellor', Assassin was her as some sort of wanted fugutive and the reason Interpol was formed in that area of the records. Rider was tied towards space travel apparently, as well as being capable of summoning a lot of missiles, that might have been the most connected to her days with Salamander. Then there was Berserker was nearly fully corrupted by the Type-95 orb, Avenger was like Nobunaga and an amalgamation of all but Berserker or Ruler, since she was the ultimate heretic, and Ruler was a version of Tanya that had 'devoted herself to god', and was a saint of some sort. Finally the Pretender version of her was apparently, as the Awake one told us, because almost her entire existence was a lie. Notably that loop was perhaps the most crossed ours has been with another, since her Baseline occurred before ours. So we assumed the reason all this insanity occurred was because of how fused the two loops were, allowing the Counter Force to summon different versions of her from different Valid timelines. Oh, and only Pretender and eventually Avenger were Awake for some reason, so that sucked."
"Ok… so that's a rather interesting case study on what happens when Grand Order fuses well with another Loop… most of the others were simple additions right? The Loopers just being dropped in as Servants pretty much?" Shirou asked and Ritsuka nodded.
"Yep, Tanya's Loop was the current exception. But back to Kamina. He was another person we summoned a lot of copies of, but unlike Tanya, that was because he actually qualified for a lot of classes. He had a Saber, Rider, Alter Ego, and even Lancer version. I won't lie, he was summoned as Grand Lancer in Romulus' place in Olympus."
Shirou nearly spat out his drink at that. "I'm sorry Grand Lancer Kamina!?"
"Yeah, probably for similar reasons to Romulus, since he was pretty much a human sized version of the… I think he called it Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Literally just a man made of blue fire, and his backup was the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann in place of Ares. That was fun, he drilled Zeus and the Olympiomachia mech really, really hard. He then proceeded to have us summon him as a Lancer again and he was still the human sized Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Fairy Britain did not know what hit it.
"Dear Yggdrasil, four Kaminas…" Shirou mused. Sure there were glitches where multiple copies of yourself appeared in a Loop, but… "And they were all Awake?"
"Yep, all of them were Awake," she said, clearly reminiscing over it. "He and Mara got into a really, really big and epic fight. Given she was using a Pocket Universe, that thankfully didn't end with the outside universe exploding," Ritsuka admitted.
"Another one to be added to the pamphlet Senpai!" Mash shouted from nearby, waving to them as Ritsuka chuckled.
"Ok, so after Kamina… Gamagoori. Ira Gamagoori?" she nodded.
"Berserker, nothing too special there. He didn't qualify for anything else," she admitted. "At least baseline he didn't, we didn't try Saint Graph Modification."
She pointed over towards the beach, where Altria was currently messing around with her magical powers. Da Vinci, with help from Scáthach, had managed to actually modify Altria's Saint Graph into a Caster form, once which had allowed her to actually use her magic powers from Hyrule better. "Then again we didn't even think that would work."
"I mean, modifying a Looper's Saint Graph to actually account for abilities they've picked up rather than what the throne has recorded on them isn't exactly something I expected to work either," Shirou said as he lifted his drink, taking another long sip from it.
"Thinking about it, it does make sense… You remember that briefcase we have right?" Ritsuka asked, and Shirou nodded. "That thing contains copies of every Saint Graph we record, it's basically a portable Throne of Heroes in a way. Sure, if a Servant dies they go back to the Throne to be resummon, but we normally just use Chaldea's Saint Graph database and the briefcase to do it alongside appropriate catalysts. The point is that it allows us to summon some… wacky Servants from time to time. And it does record all the 'Summer' Servants, despite the fact that Artoria really shouldn't ever qualify for Archer with a water pistol, or Tamamo-no-Mae as a lancer with an umbrella."
"Have you ever brought the briefcase along in your Pocket?" Shirou asked very carefully, now that he thought about it.
"Tried once, when I looked back and took it out the thing was empty of all data," Ritsuka admitted, and Shirou raised an eyebrow, and Ritsuka just pulled it out of her Pocket, setting it on the table.
Shirou took a moment to look at it, because pulling out a laptop and an extension cord from his own Pocket and connected it to the briefcase. After a few minutes he gave an hmm. "Huh… that's interesting, it is empty, also that's a lot of storage space," he mused. "Mind if I take this?"
"I mean, I guess?" she said with a shrug. "Never got around to try putting anything else on it after that."
"I'll see what happens," Shirou said with a smirk as he unplugged the briefcase and stored it in his Pocket alongside his laptop and the extension cord. "Now then, back to the Servants we were still discussing."
"Right, ignoring the Saint Graph Modification, which really isn't super important for Loopers anyway, Vergil was next," Ritsuka noted. "Unlike some of the others he did directly replace someone, Saitou Hajime, a member of the Shinsengumi, who is a Saber. And so was Vergil because of that, and he was basically locked to that class. I don't know what his Baseline is, so I don't know."
"Nah, Saber sounds about right, maybe Assassin as well? Actually his V incarnation would probably be a Caster…" Shirou noted, recalling the son of Sparda's Baseline.
"Anyway, the next Looper to show up was Lavenza, who was a Ruler, but analysis proved that Caster would also be a viable option for her," Ritsuka mused. "But she could separate into Caroline and Justine, who were both Alter Egos rather than Rulers when they appeared, it was weird," the living doll noted as Shirou put a hand to his chin.
"That makes some sense… She is a 'Ruler of Power', and her purpose is supposed to be to guide the Wild Card in her home loops. The twins being Alter Egos makes some sense as well, since they're both exactly that, her alter egos, and as Ashiya put it, they are 'a droplet of ego from a greater being'," Shirou noted thinking on it.
"After her was Aegis, who was summoned an Alter Ego outright. But she didn't stay that way," she noted as Shirou motioned her to continue. "So, her Wild Card didn't exactly translate right. Rather than summon any Persona, she could use it like a powerful version of Self-Modification. So similar to Nobunaga or Helena, she was capable of swapping to any class."
"Any?" Shirou asked, concerned as Ritsuka nodded.
"Almost any, the base seven, Ruler, Avenger, Pretender, Moon Cancer, Shielder and Foreigner," Ritsuka pointed out.
"But why couldn't Lavenza do that, she's an attendant of the Velvet Room," Shirou noted as Ritsuka shrugged.
"Don't know, after all, I haven't been to their world," Ritsuka admitted and he nodded.
"Ok, so after Aegis was Gray Fullbuster, who was summoned as a Caster, if a particularly beefy one. He could also possibly be summoned as Avenger, though we never did so," Ritsuka said, taking a sip through her straw as Shirou hummed.
"Again, everything makes sense here…" he noted. "What about people Altria wasn't here for?" He asked, as Ritsuka nodded.
"She's Awake fairly regularly, but aside from those lot, she did miss two recent visitors. Naruto, who was summoned as a Caster, not an Assassin, and Yugi Moto alongside Atem. Those two were a shared Servant, as in they counted as one, and they were like Jekyll and Hyde. Yugi was a Caster, but Atem was a Rider," Ritsuka pointed out, with a hum from Shirou.
"Somehow I'm not surprised he was a Caster. Your pamphlet said Ranma, Usagi and the Doomguy were here too, what about them?" Shirou asked.
"Assassin for Ranma with a possible Berserker alternative we never summoned. Usasgi was a Ruler, and Doomguy was actually an Avenger. Turns out unbridled rage and revenge against all forms of demons is a good qualifier for the class. Alternative classes for him were Assassin, Berserker and Archer. The first for his… utter brutality and practically torture methods when it comes to demons. Berserker because well… you can guess. And Archer because of his downright insane amount of ranged firepower and weaponry." Ritsuka added, leaving Shirou nodding along.
"And Altria had the bright idea to challenge anyone she met to at least one duel?" Shirou asked as both he and Ritsuka looked out to the beach again, where the Caster was currently warping around the beach with gusts of wind, fighting with Medb in a very intense game of volleyball that she was easily winning, but Medb refused to give up on.
"Altria's many things Shirou. She's my friend, and she wears her emotions on her sleeve. But she's also dedicated. Sure she's been loosening up a bit, but she keeps wanting to become stronger so that we don't have to live in fear," Ritsuka noted as Shirou spun around his drink.
"Goetia?" he asked and she nodded to him.
"Not just him, but all of our enemies, she's been around longer than Mash has, and the fact that she can't help as much as she wants gets on her nerves. She's always willing to try new things," Ritsuka tapped her chest. "Once Da Vinci Awoke, Altria's been trying to convince her to make a body for her to actually stay in, rather than simply remain a Servant, just so that she can be more useful to help us at times."
"She's not exactly a warm person by any means, but I can clearly see you and her are really close friends," Shirou admitted and Ritsuka shook her hand, waving towards Altria, who did wave back.
"Yeah. She's also incredibly serious, which is why we've been trying to get her to loosen up," Ritsuka admitted. "You asked me to promise you something… so I'd like to ask you something," Ritsuka started as Shirou took a shot in the dark.
"Give her a chance?" he asked, and she nodded.
"I know that you and her have bad blood, and I think it'll probably take a long, long time before she and Rin ever apologize to each other, especially since I doubt Altria thinks she did anything wrong with what she saw as doing her job. But I'd like to ask you to try with her. She's not your girlfriend, but… hopefully we can be friends one day," Ritsuka offered.
"I can attempt… especially if she wakes up during Heaven's Feel, then she might actually make things so much easier," he noted.
"Hey that's all I'm asking," she offered with a smile before standing up. "You up for a game of pool?"
"How about we grab Artoria and Mash for that?" Shirou asked as Ritsuka nodded.
"Actually… you get them, I'm going to ask Da Vinci if she can make us a really, really big play area," Ritsuka said with a smile as Shirou chuckled, and they shook hands, going off to gather their friends for a literally massive game of pool.
Shirou won, easily.

(Fate/Grand Order)
Capybara (Awesomedude17)
Ritsuka placed a watermelon on the floor and whistled. "Dinner time."
Mash walked by and stopped in her tracks. "Master, what is that?"
Ritsuka looked at Mash and said, "A capybara. Apparently someone brought it here and needed someone to watch it."
Mash looked at the capybara as it munched on the watermelon. "Okay? I don't think I've ever heard of a capybara."
"Me neither, but I don't really care. Look at it. Isn't it cute?"
Mash looked at the watermelon munching rodent and smiled. "You know what... you're right!"
Ritsuka smiled as the capybara continued eating. Mash just couldn't help but pet the big guy either. Who could blame her?

[Fate/Grand Order] [Hellsing]
Crimson (Mind)F*cker
"Oh wow! There's a lounge in here. What did you have this place set up for me already?" Ritsuka sighed as Edmond's current replacement was speaking in her head.
"Normally I expect someone else up there, Alucard." Ritsuka admitted as the sound of pool balls clacking against each other resounded through her head.
"This Edmond fellow then? The man I'm replacing. What? Is he your guardian angel or something?" Alucard snarked as another clattering of pool balls came from inside her head. "So did you give him the pool table?"
"For your first question, he's… kinda more my guardian devil in a way. For the second, yeah I tend to give him a nicer place than just 'rocky cavern with a lot of cameras'," Ritsuka said out loud, since she was currently in her room alone with the vampire currently inhabiting her head. Fittingly, she was one herself at the moment… well, a True Ancestor, but whatever.
"Phsah, he has a whole setup here! Oh! Hey, can you give me something?" Alucard asked as Ritsuka sighed, getting changed into her Atlas uniform for the upcoming mission.
"What do you want?" she asked as Alucard began chuckling.
"First off… I would like a seventy-inch plasma screen tv," he noted, before amending that. "With Netflix."
"I don't think Netflix exists in our world, but I can make you something to watch your stuff in there," Ritsuka admitted as Alucard groaned.
"Well that's a better excuse than Integra has, as much as it annoys me. How about this, I want a DVD player, a penthouse with pool, battle area because I know I'm going to need that sooner or later, and full access to your memories so I can watch the shows and permission to keep any blackmail I find!" Alucard demanded.
"Sure, knock yourself out, give me a second," Ritsuka said, Alucard giving off a very evil chuckle before she amended her statement. "I'm trusting you not to use any of this against me specifically."
"Wow, trust this early? Do I get to take long walks at night too?" he asked as Ritsuka smirked in the mirror.
"More or less, just don't kill civilians. Our job is actually to save them to maintain the timeline's stability," Ritsuka notified him.
"I think we're going to get along just fine, miss Fujimaru," He said as there was a splash inside her head. "Now! Onto poolside viewing of blackmail!"
This was probably going to be a long Loop...
"Huh, better than most people from my place," Alucard admitted after Ritsuka had watched Ozymandias's head slide off, alongside her current party of Mash, Da Vinci, and Elizabeth, the Lancer having to hold down vomit from the sight, and Ozymandias staring at them all.
Of course he'd put his head back on and proceed to try and smite them for witnessing that, but details.
"Oh good! You're better than Gohan! Didn't even need prompting!" Alucard laughed as Ritsuka was running around, joining her Servants in dodging Ozymandias's barrage of sun lasers.
"You going to run commentary or help?" Ritsuka asked, leaping over a laser and taking cover behind a pillar as Elizabeth pulled out her microphone. She covered her ears as Alucard replied.
"Nah, it's more fun to WAAAATCH!" He started screaming as Elizabeth started singing, the pain flowing through Ritsuka's ears, and into her head… which meant Alucard had to also deal with it. "It's worse than Pip at karaoke night!"
"In the name of Ozymandias! Cease this racket!" The Rider belted out before he was blown off his throne by Da Vinci. "Insolence!"
"Ok, I know I've heard this guy's voice somewhere before," her current tenant muttered to himself.
"So… is this normal?" Alucard asked as Ritsuka was taking cover behind a destroyed building, she was in Paris at the moment, a pistol in hand as rifle fire rained down on her position.
"Fighting Nazis in Paris who have an entire Grail War's worth of Servants behind them, oh an uncorrupted Greater Grail up for grabs and not a single ally in sight?" she questioned. "No, this isn't normal, in fact this is a new one."
"Oh goody!" he cheered before a grenade landed at her feet, she kicked it away before it could detonate. "You know, now would probably be a great time to cut loose. I know you're a vampire, if a bit higher up than normal ones." he commented
"Dort sie ist!" one of them shouted, before she turned her pistol towards him, and domed the nazi soldier without even looking.
"Trying to avoid that Alucard, you've seen what happens when Akuta lets lose," Ritsuka took off running, mentally noting she had fifteen bullets left in her pistol at the moment Alucard scoffed.
"Well you could always let me show you the ropes. It can't be that different from my place," he suggested before Ritsuka skid a halt. "Oh, good instincts." he noted as Ritsuka jumped through a window, shattering glass with her leap as the blue wave of destruction known as Balmung tore up the street, having nearly killed her… well maybe it wouldn't have.
Ritsuka groaned as she picked herself up. "Might have to take you up on that…" she muttered. If she didn't find any allies soon, she was in a right fucked situation.
Just as she got up, a sword was stabbed through her chest. Ritsuka spat up blood as she looked down at the red blade. Ah, so Okada was an Assassin then…
"BE SLAIN!" The assassin roared, before there was a flash of movement, and a gun to Okada's masked face behind her.
"Sorry, but I'm not done having fun yet, so buzz off," Alucard noted, and fired, blasting Okada's head clean off before looking back at her. "So… about that offer?" he questioned, tipping his hat to her as Ritsuka stood up, blood running down her chin before she groaned and reached behind her, pulling out Okada's fading sword.
"You know what, fuck it. Get me one of the Servants if you can. I need to eat a Spirit Origin," Ritsuka complained, holding a hand to the large hold in her stomach that was closing at a painfully slow rate.
Alucard just started laughing… And somehow it didn't exactly worry her.
"This is your seventh shower. I'm enjoying the show but you really do need to get out eventually," Alucard noted as Ritsuka kept her eyes closed, still lathering her hair with more shampoo… she now had much longer hair than normal.
"Well excuse me, I've bathed in so much Nazi blood Carmilla said I stunk. Ugh, they tasted as bad as they act," she complained as Alucard rolled his eyes.
"Well I suppose Nazis are an acquired taste," he mused. "Also, impressive showing. Even if I had to step in to stop Ruler from offing you."
"It probably would have just hurt like hell, not off me Alucard. True Ancestors aren't completely vulnerable to holy spells and sacred sacraments," she noted before opening her eyes. "...I feel so horrible."
"Really, you feel horrible for slaughtering that many Nazis? You, feel sorry, for Nazis?" Alucard asked incredulously.
"One can feel horrible for the act, even if the target is deserving…" Ritsuka noted as Alucard groaned.
"All right boy-girl, I've been watching your life, and I can safely say, you have fucking issues. I'm really going to have to drag you into my office one day," he complained.
"You found your blackmail didn't you?" she asked.
"Oh yeah! I did find what- Hey! No changing the subject!" he shouted, and she climbed out of the shower.
"Save the therapy for when we have time. We're almost to the end," she noted, referring to the upcoming Babylonia Singularity and the Time Temple that followed.
"You're not getting out of this," he noted.
"I didn't say I wasn't,"
"Okay, let's go down the list shall we?" Alucard started, holding up a really, really big book that he'd compiled, sitting in a comfortable chair in Ritsuka's room as she was laying on the bed. "This is a list of all your various issues. I won't lie girl, I'm surprised it's this long already, but others have had longer."
"Are those just my mental ones or my physical issues as well?" she questioned and he chuckled.
"Eh, both, but let's get started…" he said, adjusting his shades. This was gonna take a while.
"Ok, so we've got some imposter syndrome, a very minor case of DiD but that's to be expected given your coping mechanism, a whole load of PTSD, several other dissociative disorders, gender identity disorder, minor OCD when it comes to making sure certain events stay on track, it's not exactly Setsuna Syndrome, since you clearly only care enough to make sure to always hit the beats, but don't care how they're solved. Of course it can be somewhat forgiven in this situation as there aren't many other options," Alcuard adjusted his glasses again. "Minor eating disorder, an anxiety disorder tied to several particular people, a social anxiety disorder when it comes to dealing with anyone normal given how you clearly are most comfortable around extraordinary individuals, yet can't stand to remain around normality for long amounts of time, note I mean this in the case of dealing with regular humans in the outside world. You have literally millions of curses affecting you that I've been having to deal with, lest your mental health gets worse so I suppose I can congratulate this Edmond fellow for doing the same, even if he can't give you therapy," Alucard noted. "Oh this is going to be a long term case."
"Alucard, we've been in here for three days," Ritsuka said as she sat up.
"I know, that's why I know it's going to be a very long one," he shuffled his papers and adjusted his glasses again. "Before this is all over I'm going to have to give you a card. Don't lose it, there are others who are going to need to speak with you as well," Alucard noted. "But let's see what progress we can make," he cleared his throat. "Let's start with the social anxiety disorder."
"More Nazis!" Alucard exclaimed with Glee as Ritsuka was now running around the imperial capital of japan with yet again more Nazis after her, this time led by Kaiser Nobunaga.
"Okay! This one is baseline!" she shouted, leaping over a barricade and ducking around a corner, grabbing Okita Alter along the way and having her run with her.
"Can I come out? I want to kill Nazis," he asked like a kid in a candy store.
"Are you seriously doing this right now?" she exclaimed as Okita Alter drew her odachi, deflecting bullets before Ritsuka groaned. "Alright! Come on!"
There was a sound of laughter as Alucard emerged, a formless mass of darkness and teeth. Unlike Millenium, Kaiser Nobunaga's troops weren't anywhere near as… sturdy. Which wasn't saying much to begin with.
"Oh Japan! I'm BACK!" Alucard belted out, laughing as he began once more slaughtering his second favorite thing to kill.
"I'm going to have nightmares after this," Ritsuka mused lightly. More therapy would be in her future.
"You know," Alucard was chillaxing in his pool at the moment, with memories of a very interesting Fused Loop with Kyubey playing on his plasma screen. "I wasn't expecting you to have made a contract. Most people just kill the bitch."
"I didn't know who he was, Alucard, and if you watch further it eventually bit him in the ass. Look at the next Loop," Ritsuka shot back, trudging through the snow as the sound of a TV scratching as it was fast forwarded played. Alucard was silent for the next five minutes before he started laughing maniacally.
She spent the next two days with him doing that in her head. Which was quite distracting as it had allowed her to get cleaved in half by the Minotaur and she'd had to pull herself back together with her True Ancestor powers.
"AH! That backfired hard! Normally I'd be all for advocating slaughter, but HA! That's just great! I can see why you kept the contract," Alucard noted as Ritsuka hummed.
"Senpai, is he still talking," Mash asked, she'd rather annoyingly Awoken late into the Loop, just after they'd boarded the Shadow Border, and Da Vinci still wasn't awake, and neither was Altria.
"Yes, he's still talking, and to answer your question. I didn't… exactly keep it, Madoka gave it back to me," she noted.
"Hey, same diff at this point. I think I'm gonna spread this one around if you don't mind. Let everyone know about this fuck up from the little white shit," Alucard mused.
"Knock yourself out, Alucard," Ritsuka added. "Just so you know, I'm part of their little club."
"Yes, yes the identity disorder. Not touching that one with a hundred meter pole. Might with a longer one though," Alucard mentioned. "But! Back to my shows!"
"Can you deal with Ivan, Mash? My head hurts from his laughing and I need a moment,"
"Are you sure it's a good idea to have him in there?" Mash questioned, pulling out something from her first Fused Loop, the Legendary Shield from Naofumi's world, and running off to go face down Ivan on her own.
"Oh by the way, can I get an expansion to the penthouse? I have an idea I want to try later." He asked, chuckling darkly as Ritsuka sighed, watching the carnage as Kadoc tried to sneak up behind her with Anastasia.
"Kadoc, don't even bother," she complained.
"And why shouldn't I!?" He shouted as she turned around, flashing her blood red eyes at him.
"You've read the damn reports, take a guess. I'd rather not rip you apart, and I don't think you want Alucard to either," Ritsuka pointed out, before snapping her fingers, command seals glowing. "Want to test me Kadoc?"
"...You know what, yes!" he shouted, before Ritsuka sighed, and flexed her fingers. Guess she was doing this now.
Ritsuka took a very deep breath as she sat inside her room in Novum Chaldea. Inside of her head a very… interesting thing was occurring.
"Alucard," she started, very calmly.
"Yeeessss?" he asked as the sounds of pool balls clattering and many other party sounds were going on… because there was literally a party going on inside her brain.
"Why, for the love of… anything really?" she heard a cork pop off of something, probably some sort of alcohol bottle, she didn't want to know. "Are you having a party in my head… and why did you bring so many Servants up there?"
"I told you I had an idea," he mentioned. "Hey James! Bloody Mary, with extra blood!" he ordered.
Oh great, Moriarty was in there too. "I…"
"Oh you'll be fine, it's just a small party."
"Over seventy percent of Chaldea is in my head!" she shouted, grasping her head between her head and then banging her head against the wall. "Akutaaaaa!"
"Why are you calling her?" Alucard asked, before audibly drinking something. The next three minutes were filled with the sounds of partying Servants, and stuff that probably should not be happening in her head happening in there.
She could do without Medb and Fergus' happy fun times. Or… Holmes snorting drugs in her head. Or the alcohol. Or anything else going on up there.
"What do you want?" Akuta asked as she opened Ritsuka's door. The True Ancestor frowning as Ritsuka was laying her head against the wall.
"Company, to help maintain my sanity…" Ritsuka mumbled as Akuta sighed.
"What do you even mean by that?" Akuta questioned as Ritsuka turned around and pointed at her head.
"They're literally hosting a party in my head. And it's not a safe for work one," Ritsuka complained as Akuta raised an eyebrow.
"And you wanted my presence?" the courtesan asked as Ritsuka sat down.
"Because you are the only person I can currently relate who isn't already doing naughty things inside my brain, or really, really shouldn't hear this conversation," Ritsuka admitted.
"So no Mash," Akuta noted
"No. She doesn't need to know any of this," Ritsuka responded.
"Oh please, she's the one who put on the-" Ritsuka just tuned the vampire out at that point. She did not want to think of that outfit.
"Well, I suppose so, Go then?" Akuta asked, going over to the closet and pulling out a Go board, setting it on the ground as the two girls began to play, Ritsuka being notably more sloppy thanks to her current… issue focusing.
"Wait hold on, why do you keep grabbing other identities anyway?" Alucard asked as Ritsuka looked up from the deck of the Argo.
"Alucard, now is not the time for therapy," she noted, looking out over the side, seeing the oncoming fleet of Olympian ships, preparing to give the order for the Lion King to drop Rhongomyniad on them.
"This isn't therapy, just a curious question," He responded, taking a sip of something inside her head as she sighed.
"Have you not watched the Fused Loop I had with Zagreus?" she questioned.
"Blood boy? No, haven't gone that far back." he noted.
"Well as you mentioned earlier, it's my way of coping with not having an identity." Ritsuka raised her hand. "Artoria!" she ordered, the Lancer King of Knights shooting off into the sky as she gave the next order. "Drake, begin covering fire, Bart, run for Nemesis Island, I'll join you on the Fortune," Ritsuka said, leaping from the Argo to the Lucky Fortune as the pirate ship began to pick up speed. She then continued her comment to Alucard. "And rather than just stick with one, I decided to stick with many, is that so wrong?"
"Well I wouldn't call it healthy, but I'm not exactly one to talk, am I?" Alucard chuckled as a mighty explosion resounded off the sea.
"Ushiwaka, aim for the commander of the second ship! Avoid the flagship!" Ritsuka ordered, the Alter Ego shooting off with the report of a sniper rifle to enhance her speed even further, vanishing like the wind as Ritsuka looked up at Artoria, who was coming in for another attack run. "But I've noticed most Loopers tend to stick to a single form,"
"Yeah, that's kinda the norm. Oh by the way, duck." she did so, a ballista bolt flying by her head as he continued. "You know it's kinda fun to watch the chaos live," he mentioned, the sound of a chair reclining going off in her head.
"Yeah well break time's going to be over soon. When we reach the gods you're up," she noted.
"Is that an order?" he asked.
"For Aphrodite yes, given you're replacing Dantes I need you to make sure she doesn't completely fuck with my head. For any others… well you ever wanted to kill mechanical gods?"
The dark laughter that met her question probably didn't bode well… for the Olympians.
"I want to question how you drove a car covered in blood into Zeus' face… and why," Ritsuka started as Alucard honked the horn.
"HEY! You're blocking the right lane! Beat it!" Alucard ordered, said car currently shoved into Zeus' mouth.
"Insolent-" Zeus started, trying to speak as Alucard snapped his fingers…
And about twenty more cars, also being driven by him, crashed into Zeus, all Alucards laughing maniacally. "Ah! I like this 'Noble Phantasm!"
"Uh Senpai… should I?" Mash asked, holding up the Ortinax as Ritsuka took a very deep breath.
"I'm going to go fight Wodime. You… just make sure Zeus dies okay?" Ritsuka asked as the twenty-one Alucards were all currently doing their best to drive Zeus insane. The God of the skies practically screaming as the various Alucards all pelted him with bullets, black flames, eyeballs and other… things. Notably whatever the first (the original) did, the others somewhat mimicked.
"...I'm both confused and intrigued at what could be done if we get the count to do this…" Mash muttered as she began to deploy the Black Barrel. If Alucard didn't kill Zeus by the time Ritsuka had dealt with their friend/enemy, she was just going to shoot.
"Hey Dairy Queen! You like the Fear Turkey!" Alucard shouted, literally throwing a turkey that emanated pure fear at Zeus… and then twenty more of said turkey.
It was very, very tempting to just watch though.
"Well that was fun!" He laughed as Ritsuka chuckled.
"Well congrats, you're the… fifth person to have grabbed Chaos for their Pocket?" Ritsuka mentioned, questioning her count. "Let's see… Ranma, Usagi, Rick, Leman when he came back prepared… yeah you're number five, Petey probably could have, but he didn't. No wait, Kirby did on his second trip here, so number six."
"I'll take it! Even better actually," Alucard noted, she rolled her eyes. 666 probably in his mind. "So, what's next?"
"You're the one watching the videos," she noted.
"Yeah, and we both know there is quite a bit of time between now and Britain, so what's going on in the meantime?" he asked, and she shrugged.
"Let's see… Heian-Kyo, random singularities, some more Grail Fronts if that variant's occurring, Akiabara, the Idol concert and then Britain," she rattled off.
"Well then, let's see what mischief we can't get up to shall we? I would like-" he started.
"Please, don't host another party… twenty seven times is enough, and I would like my sanity somewhat intact before Britain," she asked politely.
"I'm going to make thirty before then, but that wasn't the question. No! My question was, can I eat that wannabe demi-god bitch?" he asked.
"Ashiya? Sure, go ahead," she wasn't going to complain… though he might if he remembered whatever Alucard was going to do to him after he was summoned.
"Okay good. Now besides that, I'm going to need a lot of cash, and I want the Storm Border when the Loop ends," Alucard ordered.
"...I can't exactly stop you if you really wanted to, but it amazes me that you actually asked. Everyone who's taken it besides Kirby just outright took it," Ritsuka mentioned and he laughed.
"Well glad to be un-fucking-predictable then!" he boasted before cracking open a beer inside her skull. She could tell by the sound, and because she knew Alucard didn't drink anything else from a can… maybe. Maybe it was blood in a can. "Also, excellent room service. You really keep this place clean!"
"Well seeing how it is my head, all I have to do to fix it is think about it," she muttered.
"So about that compass…" he started and she nearly groaned.
She did not want to see that happen again!
"Are you kidding me!?" Ritsuka snapped as Alucard laughed.
"More Nazis! Imagine that!" he laughed as Mash blocked a barrage of bullets from fully automatic rifle fire.
"Senpai! Why are there Nazis in Washington?" Mash questioned, completely baffled as Ritsuka took a very, very deep breath.
"Stupid… variant… bullshit," Ritsuka complained. If this had something to do with De Glocke again! "ALUCARD!"
"WHAAATTTT!" He shouted back from inside her head, before laughing.
"I am not dealing with this! You want Nazis!?" she complained.
"Oh… you know me so well…" Alucard chucked as a dark haze emerged from her shadow, Alucard going for as much drama as he could.
"Hello boys…" he hissed, walking out from behind Mash's shield, and merely raising his hand, a bit of shadowy flame blocking the bullets, and then he caught an RPG that was fired at him by the shaft between his teeth. "Did ya miss me!?" he said, grabbing the shaft and tossing it over his shoulder, letting the grenade blast up on the lawn behind him as he started to walk forward.
"Now… I haven't been able to go for a walk in a little bit…" he noted. Really, there wasn't anywhere to go, and he was a bit stressed. "So… congratulations!" he clapped his hands, flashing a grin even the devil would run from. "YOU WIN A PRIZE!"
"What are you going to do mister Alucard?" Mash asked, rather scared as a clone of him appeared, and then grabbed both her and Ritsuka, dumping them both atop the White House's roof, allowing them to overlook the practically Nazified capitol of America. "Oh… it's worse than I thought…" Mash muttered.
"Alucard?" Ritsuka started, shoving her hands in her pockets as the time displaced clone of Alucard smirked.
"Yeeeesss?" he drawled with a smirk.
"Are you doing that?" Ritsuka questioned.
"Oh yeah, but please, do give the order. I need to hear it." he said darkly before vanishing, leaving only one Alucard remaining… the one on the lawn being rapidly surrounded by Nazis, and not giving a damn.
"Very well then… Go for a walk!" Ritsuka snapped her own fingers.
"Oh… with pleasure," he chuckled… before all hell broke lose over the capital of Nazi America.
"I'm gonna have nightmares…" Mash muttered, still reeling from what they had just witnessed.
"Mash, we've both seen worse," Ritsuka commented as they were sitting inside the Rayshift room.
Aside from Alucard's lack of restraint, (Did all of them need to be brutalized like that?) they'd gotten to witness many other… actions.
Alucard was bad, Nazis were worse. Magic Nazis were even worse than both of those.
"You know I do have brain bleach," Alucard commented from his cozy abode inside her head. "Also, you've improved, at least a bit."
"Thank you, for the observation, Alucard," Ritsuka snarked as Mash sighed.
"Like I asked… is it really okay for him to be in there?" Mash questioned.
"Surprisingly he's been helping… somewhat," Ritsuka replied, rolling her eyes as Alucard scoffed. "More so than who usually is there at least."
"I got my license!" he noted before she heard fast forwarding noises again. "I think I've got all the blackmail I need! For now," he chuckled. "Oh… I am going to win the next contest. None of them shall ever live down these humiliations!" He started laughing.
"It's not really embarrassing if Kama beats someone Alucard…" she noted, recalling how Alucard had done so with a combination of pure bullshit and extreme speed. Time duplicates really where quite useful when you could make a universe full of them if you pushed hard enough…
"Yeah! But I did it and they didn't so there! And I wasn't even bribed, imagine that." he said with a laugh.
"I think we're going to be coming up on Britain soon, Senpai," Mash noted as Ritsuka closed her eyes.
"Well… this is going to be… interesting," Ritsuka said calmly.
"Oh very," Alucard noted, capping it off with yet the sound of ping pong.
"Are you playing with yourself!?"
"Ritsuka, you get me that and I will give you whatever the fuck you want," Alucard started in her head, dead serious as she blinked.
"You want what?" she whispered as a shadowy hand poked out of her chest and tapped the catalog on item number three. "You want… oh my god."
"Uh, yeah, I want," Alucard repeated as Ritsuka took in the object in the catalog.
A single, golden apple.
She really, really hoped it wasn't what she thought it was.
She waited for the moment the apple appeared… and it took literally three seconds for all hell to break loose before the bidding could even officially start.
"FUCK!"
'Because of course the goddamn Apple of Discord had to be here didn't it!?'
She did actually win it by a massive margin, because dumping three hundred million Molpounds on an apple, throwing the cash out, and then just telling Alucard to go Pocket the damn thing was more than worth it to stop the entire auction from becoming a blood bath.
"Hey so… can I get this one too?" Alucard then asked as Ritsuka took a very deep breath.
"Why the fuck is this auction selling Noble Phantasms!?" she seethed as Jeanne's standard went up for auction.
"Well well well… its about fucking time!" Alucard started, clapping slowly as Oberon stood across from the group. That being himself, Ritsuka and Mash of course on the top deck.
"You were expecting me?" Oberon asked as Alucard laughed.
"AHAHAHA! Was I!?" he smirked, throwing out his arms. "Oh this is the moment I have been waiting for!" Alucard boasted.
"Oh god he's doing it again," Ritsuka muttered as Alucard started walking forward, Oberon walked forward to meet him, his form burning away to reveal Oberon-Vortigern as they swaggered across the deck, approaching each other.
"I see you're little worm is out to play," Alucard joked as Oberon-Vortigern looked him up and down.
"And what do you have that can beat me?" the Vile King started as Alucard started clapping his hands.
"Oh Ritsuka…" he teased as she slowly held up her hand.
"Alucard… release restraint level zero," she ordered, a command seal flashing as Alucard grinned.
And raised his hand.
Oberon-Vortigern started to back away as Alucard's newest legions began to come forth.
The Fairies of Britain that he'd slaughtered, including the Calamities Barghest and Albion. "So then, shall we dance!?"
Oberon-Vortigern stared… before grinning, and beginning to summon his own legions, directing the Vile King to actually avoid eating Fairy Britain for the moment.
Ritsuka facepalmed as the Vile King and the Vampire proceeded to literally throw their legions of bugs and souls at each other for kicks on a dying land, warring over nothing but the fact they could as she took a very deep breath… and Mash pulled out the camera.
"You happy now Alucard?" Ritsuka asked, as she and Alucard were in a dream. Vortigern wasn't here like he normally was, because Alucard had eaten him, so after she'd fallen asleep in the hot-air ballon she'd used in place of the Storm Border after Alucard took it, she'd awoken here with him.
"Oh very. Especially when me and him were fighting inside the Black Hole, that was great." Alucard grinned before tapping her on the shoulder. "Of course I did offer anything in return for those things you bought me. And with all of the blackmail, and providing such a good time… Well what do you want?"
She thought about it for a moment before looking at him. "You know, I'm just happy that you had a good time here," she said as he smirked.
"Really? Not going to wish for vampirism? Or something silly from another Loop. I've got a lot of stuff in my Pocket, just waiting for you," he offered as she chuckled.
"You know what I'd much prefer Alucard?" she started, and he hummed. "That we be friends."
She held out her hand.
He smiled, rather than smirked.
"You know what, I think I can do that one too. Cheers to the next time our paths cross 'Master'," he said, the two of them shaking hands. They broke the handshake, and Alucard started walking away into the forest of blood they shared as a dream.
Before something came her way. She spun, catching it, before holding it up. A cross, cut cleanly, and a silver gun. She smiled, Pocketing both before the Loop ended for good.
Hellsing Organization
"ALUCARD! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HEAD!" Integra shouted as Alucard was laughing like a maniac inside of her head. Seras sighed as Alucard was already messing with his newest set of powers from another Fused Loop.
"WHERE DID YOU GET A POOL TABLE!?" Integra shouted, groaning as she sat down. "You've got to be fucking…"
"Integra…" Seras started as the leader of Hellsing started pulling out pills.
"Leave please, I need to find a way to deal with this now." Integra complained, and started popping painkillers to ease the headache she was getting not just from Alucard, but herself.
Little did they both know the chaos Alucard was going to cause with his newest set of powers… and a single fucking apple.
