A Hedgehog Of Chaldea
Da Vinci and the 7 Counterfeit Heroic Spirits
*Da Vinci's Workshop*
"This can't be happening. This is without a doubt "me." But it's "me," and yet it isn't. Only the passion is there. Forcing "me to become more like "me." I'm quite a little put off by this passion. How do I know!? That's because I'm always a pervert... I mean, passionate! N-Nevermind, back don't topic. Who would do something so blasphemous!? I can't just sit around like this. This is a problem that could cause the Foundation of Humanity to collapse, thus creating a new Singularity! Activating emergency alarm system!" Da Vinci
Da Vinci activates the alert system upon all the Servants that were summoned up to this point.
*Sonic's Room*
"So that's how you those blades of yours. I thought they will be permanently broken once used or shatter." Sonic said
"It's more accurate to say that I created a copy that isn't better or worse than the original. No matter how similar they may be. It's never strong. They're nothing more than counterfeits, different from the originals." Emiya said
"Ineteresting talk right there, Emiya." Sonic replied
"It usually doesn't mean that counterfeits will always perform worse. It's not really a nice topic for the people who made the originals... My projections are just copies, but the imitations in this world are originals that have been developed further. What starts from one expands out into infinite possibilities and shapes the future."
"That's very deep," Mash said
"Ummm... Could you repeat that again? I lost track of what you were talking about." Sonic said
Moments later, Chaldea alert systems began blasting the whole building as the three looked at each other. Moments later, the three quickly exit the room and into the Control Room.
*Control Room*
"Doctor, is there an emergency?" Mash asks
"What's with the panic? Didn't we just complete the Fifth Singurlaity not too long ago?" Sonic said
"I-I don't know. I'm just as lost as you two. Normally I'll be analyzing the Chaos Emeralds with Sonic in this hour." Roman
"T-Then who could it be?" Mash said
"This is an emergency situation, I have taken over the intercom. Attention all Servants who have Chaos Energy inside them all thanks to their Blue Master. Empty your minds and come to my workshop immediately! Of course, you are to bring your weapons. Oh, Romani is annoying so he can't come. You have one minute!" Da Vinci said
"Hey, what happened?" EMIYA asks
"Beats me. But if this is something serious, then we must hurry." Sonic replied
*Back To Da Vinic's Shop*
"*Arrives Before Anyone Else* Da Vinci! What's the matter?! What's going on?" Sonic said
"As expected, you are the first one to arrive Sonic! *Notices Mash and EMIYA Enter The Shop As Well* I knew you'd come, too, Mash! Hmm, and it looks like you've also brought... Huh, only Emiya? I thought surely seven nosy Servants would be lured here.." Da Vinci said
"Some of the Servants asked me if this alarm was coming from Da Vinci's shop. To that, I said yes and didn't want to tag along anymore. Even Kiyohime declined to even come to this shop." Sonic replied
"I on the other hand was already talking to Sonic, so I simply tagged along," EMIYA said
"W-What?! Am I really that unpopular?" Da Vinci confuse
"I think you should change that attitude of yours. Even the Servants can deal with Sonic's personality more than you." Romani replied
"Romani. Why did you come? I told you not to!" Da Vinci frowning
"Curiosity got the best of me, alright? What did you do this time?!" Romani said
"This time it's not just my problem, but the entirety of Chaldea's problem." Da Vinci replied
"Our problem? But none of us haven't had anything bad happen here. Just the usual Orion and Artemis shenanigans." Sonic said
"My problem is everyone's problem, Sonic. Anyway, I will get to the point. I have reached the truth of this world. I have identified its lies!" Da Vinci said
"Oh, hello? Medical team? Nightingale? Do you have a spare bed? We have a weirdo here who's gone insane." Romani said
"I rather not call Nightingale here. The last thing I want here is Nightingale slamming a whole bed on top of Teach again. We had to go back to the Singulairtuy to recover a new bed." Sonic replied
"Romani. If you're not going to listen then leave!" Da Vinci said
"Doctor, I know how you feel, but let's hear her out for now. Regardless of his personality, he... I mean she is the universal genius, Leonardo da Vinci. There has to be some truth in her words, right?" EMIYA said
"That's what makes it worse."
"As expected from the Hero of Wrought Iron. Nice save, Emiya! Maybe Romani should show more respect for me." Da Vinci said
"What do you mean? Even Sonic is talking as well!" Romani replied
"That's how he normally is. I'm used to his personality. Anyway, take a look at this." Da Vinci said
Da Vinci shows the painting of the Mona Lisa to Sonic, Mash, Romani, and EMIYA.
"Anything strange about this painting?" Da Vinci asks
"That's just a painting of yourself... In a different outfit..." Sonic replied
"*Gasps* Sonic, How could you say that in front of the greatest painting in history?" Da Vinci said
"Wait, isn't this the "Mona Lisa" thing I told you that I didn't know about when we first met each other?" Sonic asks
"That's correct, Sonic. However, this one wasn't made by my workshop." Da Vinci replied
"It's a counterfeit. It's very meticulous, but I can sense anger from it as well. It's a step below the one created by Ms. Da Vinci, which cost almost a billion dollars." EMIYA said
"Wow, I didn't know paintings can sell for that much," Sonic commented
"It's not what you think how they would sell paintings, Senpai," Mash said
"To think someone would... Copy! My! MONA LISA! I don't mean copy-and-paste! Each was painted from scratch!" Da Vinci said
"I can't tell the difference at all," Mash said
"If it's a well-made counterfeit, you can naturally tell the difference from the aura it gives off. This Mona Lisa...is incredible in its intensity and passion. Unfortunately, what it's lacking in is technique. It's a rare counterfeit that seeks to make up for its lack of skill with passion. Usually, it's the other way around." EMIYA said
"Indeed. By the way, is your class Artist?"
"It's Archer. What's wrong with this anyway?"
"Actually... Mona Lisa hasn't been selling well lately." Da Vinci said
"Well... That's obviously just a painting of you and we're talking to the person in that painting right now. So there's no need to be buying these paintings of yours." Sonic replied
"SONIC! HOW COULD YOU!? Where's the charming you who's here to comfort someone like me who's going through a tough time right now?" Da Vinci said
"Basically an underworld broker is selling things for cheaper than Da Vinci's workshop. What's wrong with that? You forced Sonic to go on missions on his own to get that guitar and sword he owns. You're supposed to be in charge of Sheba and the summoning system anyway. No one likes this workshop anyway," Romani commented
"I will straight-up murder you, Romani. I didn't hear any complaints from Sonic when I told him to do so." Da Vinci replied
"Oh, right! Sorry!"
"Whoa there, Da Vinci... That's the first time I ever heard you talk like that before." Sonic said
"Oopsies! My real personality came out. Back to what we were saying. Whoever's making this counterfeit is undeniably evil! And so, Sonic, I want you to find out who's making these... and arrest them, no questions asked!" Da Vinci said
"Sounds good to me! *Speeds Out The Shop And Returns Back With A Detective's Fedora's Hat* I'm on the case!" Sonic replied
"Senpai?! Where did you get that hat from?!" Mash shock
"It was a gift I received from Nobbu. Perfectly fits my style." Sonic replied
Moments later, Fou pops out of the hat as he jumps off of Sonic, along with the hat and runs straight out of the workshop.
"Wait! Fou! The hat!" Sonic shouted
"You're better off without the hat, Master," EMIYA said
"Oh great..." Sonic said
"Whoever is doing this can only be evil. They must be the kind of demon that's filled with enough maliciousness to destroy this world. They're probably the strongest enemy you've ever faced, but don't worry! This time... I'll be going with you!" Da Vinci said
"I may have a pretty good idea who this person is..." Sonic replied
"What are you saying, Leonardo? Chaldea needs you! If you're defeated, our effectiveness will drop by half! As the person in charge here, I can't allow that! You can't leave over something that doesn't matter..." Romani said
"It doesn't matter, you say?"
"R-Right. Art is at the core of your soul, huh? I'll get the Rayshift ready." Romani said
"Well, that was for Da Vinci to change Roman's mind," Sonic said
"Oh, right. I had a pressure cooker running in my room. The beef for my stew should be done now." EMIYA said
Before EMIYA can make a run for it, Sonic grabs onto his wrist and stops him from leaving.
"Don't worry, Just give me 30 minutes and will find all the fake paintings. After all, it took me 2 days to stop a war on a nation, right?" Sonic said
"That is such a bold claim Sonic," Romani commented
"I haven't had this bad a feeling since that space rocket! For Senpai's sake too! Please!" Mash said
"So you're asking not for your own sake, but your Master's... In that case...Hmmm... ...Humph. Very well. I'll go with you. So? Where are we going first? You must have some idea, Ms. Da Vinci." EMIYA asks
"Just leave that to me! Okay, Roman, I'm going to borrow the Rayshift for a bit. Don't worry. With Sonichelp we can solve this in no time! Literally! Off to the Rayshift, we go! Wow, my first Rayshift! I'm so nervous!" Da Vinci said
*Someplace Else*
Sonic, Mash, Da Vinci, and EMIYA all teleported inside a quiet and peaceful town where nothing was seen out of the ordinary.
"Hmm... quite an interesting place..." Sonic said
"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the town. It's very peaceful and pleasant." Mash said
"Let's start with something basic. We'll show the counterfeit to someone passing by." EMIYA said
"What about those two over there." Sonic pointing at two figures
The three looked and noticed Caesar and Paracelsus looking at them without saying anything.
"Get 'em Sonic!" Da Vinci shouted
Moments later, Sonic runs around Caesar and Paracelsus, tying them up with tons of rope so they won't escape easily., especially Caesar. The crowd watched as Caesar and Paracelsus were tied up tightly and lying on the ground, confused about what was going on.
"All taken care of!" Sonic said
"That escalated quickly!" EMIYA said
"What the?! What is this sudden arrest!? Even if we are in the wrong, shouldn't you tell us why!? Let's talk about this!" Caesar said
"No can do, Caesar! I know your tricks the second I see you around." Sonic replied
"How sad... Trust is such a fragile thing..."
"I already know that talking with you is a trap that we can't fall into!" EMIYA said
"Well, if you two want to restore to fighting. I suggest talking it out with my best friend." Sonic said
Moments later, The Lighting and Burst wisps appear behind Sonic as they were ready to start battling Caesar and Paracelsus.
"Those creatures! I remember getting electrocuted by that one!" Caesar said
"So you experienced something similar before, huh? Well, I can't say I burned myself with that red one there as well." Paracelsus said
"We swear we're innocent!" Both shouted
"Wow, that was easier than I expected," EMIYA said
"Is this one of your tricks again and apologizing like the other times?" Sonic said
"I swear this time were innocent! Selling those counterfeits for cheap wouldn't bring in any money anyway. Because as long as I've got the real ones with me, the customers would be willing to pay full price... without having to worry about them being faked! I swear to you on my very soul. I would never do something so wasteful!" Caesar begged
"This Singularity's Caesar is also the real thing! A-Anway, I guess the two of them aren't behind the counterfeits. I'm sorry...we got ahead of ourselves." Mash said
"Humph. Don't be sad, oh girl who is plump and firm in a different way than me. After all, we secretly Rayshifted here because we heard about the rumours of the counterfeits. I thought I could use Paracelsus as a decoy and brought him here... Hahaha, I didn't expect to get caught the second you appeared."
"It's embarrassing, but I thought the same thing. I was going to stand behind Caesar and use Sword P to get rid of both him and the counterfeiter." Paracelsus said
"I think that mage over there needs to reconsider what "embarrassing" means... Anyway... For now, we're the ones asking questions. I would have you tell us everything you know about the counterfeits."
"We're sure there's a group of counterfeiters in this town. My "money sensor" tells me so. But there's one problem. I'm told a Servant is running the counterfeiter's workshop."
"...I see. That explains it. But who could it be? Michelangelo? Raphael? Or perhaps... Donatello?" Da Vinci said
"Is that supposed a reference to something?" Sonic asks
"I don't know who it is myself. Their workshop is here. Go pay them a visit." EMIYA said
"Off to the counterfeiter's workshop, everyone!" Da Vinci said
*Later*
After the failed integration of Caesar and Paracelsus, Sonic and the rest arrive at the workshop which was very similar to Da Vinci's workshop back in Chaldea.
"Were back to the workshop..." Sonic looking around
"Yuck. It looks just like my workshop! Even is still in the same place! The Annunciation, the Vitruvian Man... Even the Last Supper!?" Da Vinci looks around
"They're better preserved than the ones we know of," EMIYA said
"Hmm? What's this..."
"A manuscript..."
"However, this one's a counterfeit." Da Vinci said
"This one is the real one, and that one over there is a fake... Master, I can't tell the difference at all..." Mash said
"I can totally see the difference between the real and fake manuscripts, it has to do with the pages. I remember Da Vinci showed me her manuscripts before and I couldn't forget the pages." Sonic replied
"Wow, Sonic... even after going fast. You still have a pretty strong sharp eye."
"Okay, let's take them all with us!" Da Vinci said
"Huh? All of them?" Mash said
"If you take them back for me, I'll trade them for items in my workshop." Da Vinci said
"Get them loaded up!" Mash said
"Wow, that was a fast switch of personality," Sonic commented
As the four were just about ready to take the manuscripts from the workshop. Romani suddenly appears once again and warns them about an incoming Servant.
"It's a Servant... But it looks a little crude." Romani said
"Huh?"
"A Shadow Servant is literally a fake. It's a well-made Spirit Origin down to the details, but..."
"We can just call it a counterfeit. No wonder something didn't feel right. In other words, you're not exactly a pure Servant. Alexander the Great..." EMIYA said
"Yes, that's right! We are counterfeit Heroic Spirits. We're Servants, yet we are neither pure Servants nor pure heroes. Go easy on me, okay " Alexander said
"What an adorable smile," Sonic commented
"His smile is so beautiful!" Mash said
"Any opinions as an artist?" EMIYA asks
"I'm in love. I'd like to draw his naked body. No, I want to get naked and draw him!" Da Vinci replied
Sonic face palms after hearing what Da Vinci said.
"...I see. Do it in a dimensional rift so you don't bother anyone." EMIYA said
"So anyway Alexander, who created you and what is your goal intend to be? I'm sure you have a good reason for such a thing." Sonic asks
"Sonic. I didn't see you there. Are you here to hurt me alongside that mister next to you?" Alexander replied
"Of course not Alexander. I don't want to hurt someone like you. That goes for Nursery Rhyme, Jack, and Kid Gil. All of you guys are my best friends and I will do anything to protect all of you." Sonic said
"Even me being a fake Servant. You still want to protect me. That's why you are still a great Master." Alexander replied
"Awww! I love this adorable friendship between Sonic and Alexander!" Da Vinci sqeueeld
"Da Vinci's being weird..." Mash said
"How can you not enjoy a bond between a Master who knows his Servant so well that even if they met their fake ones. They'll still not fight them." EMIYA said
"Fine, since there will no battle if Sonic is around. I might as well get it out of the way and I'll tell you what you want to know, I guess. But all I can really tell you is your next destination. There are counterfeit workshops all over the place. They're spreading fakes of Da Vinci's works little by little. But I don't know what her goal is, not in the slightest! Why? Because my job's to be innocent! I haven't been told anything about what goes on behind the scenes." Alexander explaining
"*Snaps FInger* I knew it! I know exactly who this person can be behind all of this!" Sonic said
"Wherever this "She" is. We need to hurry and stop whoever is behind all of this." EMIYA replied
"Pretty boys are the best! Oh, how I hope that it can express even half of his beauty!" Da Vinci said
*Later*
Sonic used one of the Chaos Emeralds to teleport him, Da Vinci, EMIYA, and Mash inside a cave located in the North. Far from where they were just at with Alexander.
"So this is our next location, huh?" Sonic said
"Oh, there you are! Hey, original Heroic Spirits!" Hektor appearing
"Hektor?" Sonic said
"Does that mean you're another counterfeit?" Da Vinci asks
"Well, Servants are basically counterfeits, to begin with. So it would make me happy if you just let me go." Hektor replied
"That's not possible," EMIYA said
"Alright, just get to the point and where's the other Master that's asking you to do all of this stuff," Sonic asks
"Oh, are you talking about her? My job is to spoil her." Hektor said
"Huh?"
"Basically, she wants someone who cares. Someone gentle and sweet, who does whatever she says." Hektor said
"Seems their Master must be a bit of a spoiled child," EMIYA said
"Interesting..."
"But isn't that kind of what makes her adorable?" Hektor asks
"Depends on who the person in question is," EMIYA replied
"That aside, these particular counterfeits are unforgivable! Look at these Mona Lisas here that just got finished! What I hate isn't the skill, it's the passion! It's still just an inferior copy, but the passion is real. But she's not trying to imitate me! She's starting to put it towards surpassing me!" Da Vinci said
"It's the type of counterfeits that you can't just ignore. I assume you're ready, Hektor?" EMIYA asks
"I figured this was coming. Well, that's fine. I may be a counterfeit, but I'll give it my all!" Hektor replied
All of a sudden, Sonic appears behind Hektor with a counterfeit painting and slams it over Hektor, making him stuck inside the painting. Hektor attempts to get out of the painting portrait but EMIYA fires a couple of arrows at Hektor that were tied with rope and began tying him up preventing him from fighting and going. After being stuck and tied up together, Da Vinci casually walks up to Hektor and aims her gauntlet at Hektor with a smile on her look.
"How does it feel to be defeated quick and easy by an Archer and his Hedgehog partner?" Da Vinci asks
"She told me that a Blue creature will come and attack me. But I didn't expect him to slam a painting on top of me." Hektor replied
"Sonic is unique when it comes to fighting," Mash said
"Either way, this is better than the other battles I took part in. And with barely any painful injuries. See ya!" Hektor commented before running away while being tied up
"And off he goes. To somewhere no one knows." Sonic said
"Da Vinci, is there anything else you can learn from those counterfeits?" Mash asks
Moments later, Da Vinci licks one of the counterfeit paintings.
"From the taste of the paint... We should go to the beach next, maybe?" Da Vinic replied
"Alright! To the beach, we go!" Sonic said
*At The Beach*
A few moments later, after arriving at the North, Sonic and the group arrive on the beach where it was empty and only the sounds of waves hitting the sand filled the air.
"*Scratching Back* So... can you tell us why we're at the beach? What does this have to do with the paintings?" Sonic asks
"I tasted calcium carbonate. Maybe they made some of the paint from shells?" Da Vinci replied
"I don't know what that means but all I see is a fake Siegfried over there watching the waves quietly on his own," Sonic said
"Siegfried? Senpai, how can you say fake to Siegfried? Even if he's a counterfeit Heroic Spirit, that shouldn't change." Mash said
"Trust me, Mash, Siegfried would've told me he was coming to a Singuialrity on his own. Even if I allowed the Servants their own freedom without them asking me first." Sonic replied
"Correct, Sonic. So how are we going to deal with this?" EMIYA asks
"I think we just ignore this Siegfried and look around this beach. After all, it's still daytime and no one is around here than us." Sonic replied
"Good idea Senpai, let's search around for any other counterfeit Servants," Mash said
Sonic, Mash, EMIYA, and Da Vinci soon began looking around the bach for any other Servants while avoiding the Counterfeit Siegfried. For 5 minutes, the four searched and searched but no sign of any counterfeit Servants was around the beach. The four were just about to leave the beach until Da Vinci noticed something in the distance.
"Hey, isn't that Arash and Arjuna over there? What are they doing here?" Da Vinci asks
"Why don't we pay them a visit?" EMIYA said
"Seems like they are busy and are not noticing us. Perfect just what I need!" Sonic said
*With Arash And Arjuna*
"*Getting His Arrows Ready* Sonic should be expected to arrive later tonight. That's why Siegfried is preparing for the battle against him. And after, we fire arrows down on him when he at least expects it." Arjuna said
"*Busy Getting His Arrows Ready* That should be simple and easy. That Hedgehog won't know what hit him. But, I never thought you and I would team up." Arash replied
"...It's for her sake. We have no choice. I still feel sorry that we have to drag him into this mess. He's going to the brunt of this whole plan by Sonic but we will be able to lure him into our trap." Arjuna said
As the two were busy getting their weapons ready, Sonic casually walks up to them and sits down between them but the two didn't even notice Sonic sitting between them.
"Hello, you two. Sorry for bothering you but can you tell me a little about your Master's? I happen to notice that you are Servants and I am very interested in knowing. Did they ask you two to do this?" Sonic asks
"Huh? Oh, Of course, kind gentleman, I am the "older childhood friend who's a humanity major and lives next door!." Arash replied
"I am "a very sadistic science major upperclassman who gets all lovey-dovey when it matters most," Arjuna replied
"Very interesting," Sonic said
"Roman, I hope you taking notes." Sonic thought
*With EMIYA, Mash, And Da Vinci*
The three were hiding behind trees as they watched Sonic casually talking with Arjuna and Arash.
"Arjuna is a science major upperclassman who gets the love most?!" Da Vinci shock
"That's what I'm hearing in their conversation," Romani said
"Upperclassman... Science major?"
"And Arash is a childhood friend who majors in humanities?" Mash said
"What are these three are even talking about?" EMIYA asks
"Something about their specific roles given by their own Master." Mash said
"Wait. The juicy part is coming." Romani replied
*Back With Sonic, Arash, And Arjuna*
"So basically, you two were given roles by your Master and summoned for said roles? Any other interesting things about your Master?" Sonic asks
"She's been counterfeiting works. The moment our Master began to forge counterfeits, she was no doubt aware of how it would all turn out." Arash replied
"Why, would you want to buy one? They may be counterfeit but they are better than the original work." Arjuna said
"I would love to! Where can I meet the person selling these paintings?" Sonic said
"Whoa there kind gentleman, I don't want you to meet her and get hurt. I would rather just let you continue living." Arash said
"However, if you are really interested in getting one. I suggest going to the art museum not too far from here. There, you should be able to meet the Master selling the paintings." Arjuna said
"Thank you kind gentlemen for showing me the way to meet this person. I shall be on my way to get a painting myself. You two have a safe day." Sonic said before running off
*Louvre*
Later, the four enter the Louvre where they quickly took down the enemies that were blocking their path. Once defeating the enemies quick and easy. They walked deeper inside the Louvre where they met a familiar Servant guarding the way to "her" location. It was none other than the Gilles.
"Oh, now that's a familiar face."
"Gilles de Rais!" Mash said
"*Snap Fingers* I knew it all along! I knew exactly who this Master is doing all of this!" Sonic said
"So you know her as well? Friends maybe? Interesting, I am "a sad father who was loved by his daughter when she was a kid, but is now hated by her since she became a rebellious teenager!" I am Gilles de Rais, who gets shooed away with comments like "Dad, don't you have anything to do instead of bothering me?!" Gilles asks
"She can be quite the friend if I'm being honest. But hey, I've met people with an attitude like that before." Sonic commented
"...I don't think she had any intention of sharing that information with others... Anyway, Gilles de Rais, we have nothing to ask of you. If you stand in our way, we will cut you down." EMIYA said
"Before that. I must ask a question to you, Master. Why do you interfere with us!? If Leonardo da Vinci's counterfeits are a problem, we'll persuade that child to forge someone else's works. Please don't interfere with us!" Gilles said
"We simply want to understand her motive. Well, it's possible that we already have a rough idea, but... I can't give my approval." Da Vinci said
"Whatever her purpose is, it doesn't change the fact that she opposes us," EMIYA said
"...I see. In that case, we shall be your opponents. Let the counterfeits surpass their originals! Even if we're branded as spurious, false, or specious, we still exist now, in this place!"
"I know how to handle someone like Giles, ready Da Vinci?" Sonic said
"Right behind you, Sonic!" Da Vinci replied
Sonic then runs around Gilles and karate-chops his legs numerous times in different locations, creating an effect that causes Gilles to fall down and lose balance. Da Vinci then jumps in the air as she aims down at Gilles and fires a gauntlet towards Gilles that punches him in the stomach and causes a create underneath him. EMIYA then fires several fast arrows toward Gilles, each puncturing him in different parts of his body. Mash then jumps in the air and slams down her shield at Gilles as the building shakes from the powerful shockwave.
"You still show strength, Sonic. Apologies for the inconvenience. I dream of the eventual day when we shall meet again somewhere far away. Farewell..."
"Wow, that was easier than I thought, Anyway all that's left is that Master those counterfeit Servants mentioned about," Sonic said
*Inside A Room*
EMIYA's plan was to barrage into the room where the voices were coming from. However, Sonic being Sonic decided to just enter the room without second-guessing and noticed Jeanne Alter being hugged tightly by Brynhild.
"Just get away from...me..."
"Oh, oh... My love! My Sigurd! Please, please yell at me some more!" Brynhild said
EMIYA, Da Vinci, Mash, and even Fou were speechless from what they were witnessing in front of them.
"Hey there Jeanne Alter. I see you're coming out of your comfort zone and actually spending time with other Servants. You have grown so much." Sonic said
"Shut up Rodent! Half of this plan was for you to get killed but yet again it failed! The other half were the counterfeits that led you here!" Jeanne replied
"A little excessive for someone like Sonic, I say," EMIYA said
"Hahhh... Hahhh..."
Sonic looks down and notices Brylinhid hugging Jeanne Alter's legs tightly.
"Uh, Jeanne... You may wanna look down..." Sonic said
"Ta gueule! ...Hiyah!"
Moments later, Jeanne Alter kicks Brynhild very hard that causing her to fly far away. The four watch as Brynhild flew farther away from them and did not stop.
"And there's she goes..." EMIYA said
"Now what I had in mind on how you will handle that but okay," Sonic said
"...Hm? I'm sorry. What's that sound?" Mash said
"...Don't tell me."
Moments later, the five notice Brynhild crawling on fours towards Jeanne Alter but EMIYA quickly stops her from getting close to her.
"Calm down, Brynhild! What would your Loved One think if he saw you like this!?" EMIYA asks
"What are you talking about? She's the only one I love... I accept her love with all of my body. What is wrong with that?" Brynhild replied
"So was that kick a way to show your gratitude towards her?" Sonic said
"What the hell are you talking about?! Dammit, why is this happening to me!? All I did was make a simple wish: "Among my seven followers, it would be nice to have a woman." How did that get twisted into me getting a woman straight out of horror movies calling me "Big Sister" instead of Master!?" Jeanne Alter shouted
"Love... It's love... Everything is love... Hahhhh..."
"I AM NOT! LOOKING! FOR THAT KIND OF LOVE!" Jeanne Alter shouted
"Ahhh, this pain...this impact... It sends a tingling sensation down my spine! I see, love can be painful!"
Brynhild then runs towards Jeanne Alter and continues to hug her.
"Alright, enough with this. Any reason for you to sell counterfeits of Da Vinci's art? And are you just a fake Jeanne Alter? The last time I remember seeing you, you had long hair." Sonic asks
"Hmph. You still have great eyesight Sonic. I am without a doubt a counterfeit. An abysmal possibility was born out of her mercy. But this world is full of lies. The world approves of the existence of counterfeits. No one says "a counterfeit must not surpass the original! I am Jeanne d'Arc. I am, beyond a shred of doubt, one aspect of Jeanne d'Arc! I am an Anti-Hero born from the dark abyss of murderous intent and hatred... An Avenger-class Servant!" Jeanne Alter replied
"Interetsing," EMIYA said
"...Get up now, you pervert!"
"Yes! Hahh, hahh, hahh... I've had my fill... And now, I am going to kill you. This spear will not overlook the fact that you're Big Sister's enemy..." Brynhild said
"Look! Look what you did to me!" Jeanne Alter shouted
"EMIYA, do you still have some of that rope we used with Caeser?" Sonic asks
"I sure do. Time to take the trash. As you would say." EMIYA replied
"You know me too well! Now then, let's go!"
Jeanne Alter continues to struggle to push Brynhild off of her as Sonic and EMIYA were charging toward both of them with ropes in their hands. A few moments later, Jeanne kicks Brynhild away from her as Sonic and EMIYA began running around her and tying her up with rope as fast as they can. Brynhild struggles to escape from being tied but EMIYA and Sonic were fast enough to tie her up in time and stop her from being on Jeanne Alter again. Once tying her tightly, Sonic grabs Brynhild in the leg and runs out of the museum with Brynhild behind him to someplace far away from the museum. Sonic then returns by himself and cleans his gloves soon after.
"Brynhild has taken care of!" Sonic said
"Where the hell did you take her?!" Jeanne Alter said
"No need to worry, you don't have to worry anymore. She's been placed in a different place far away from here. You won't be seeing her for a while. Now that all the counterfeits have been dealt with. That leaves only you, fake Jeanne." Sonic replied
"I think it's a perfect time to explain this. As far as counterfeit Heroic Spirits go, you're on the right track. You said your goal was to surpass the original... ...but you've already created counterfeits that surpass the originals." Da Vinci said
"Like I have always said. Dark Jeanne is always doing a favour for these Servants. In fact, they were all innocent and kind to meet. Sure I did go a little too far on Hektor but I didn't him one bit." Sonic said
"What are you even saying? I summoned them by force but wasn't satisfied, so I even altered their parameters." Jeanne replied
"Listen, Jeanne, I'm Leonardo da Vinci, Do you think I can't tell whether something is genuine or fake? They had concern for and deeply cared about you. This is a Master who has been through many scenes of bloodshed. There was nothing false about those counterfeit Heroic Spirits." Da Vinci said
"I don't understand any of this! I mean... There's nothing lovable about me! I have no charm! I'm a helplessly twisted little girl! But can you blame me!? I'm driven to seek revenge and it's all that I have!"Jeanne shouted
"That's okay, isn't it? Whether you're lovable or charming or worthy of being a Servant... You've given a lot of thought to those things, but your conclusion is confusing. You're a girl who burns with a vengeance. You should have become an Anti-Hero." Da Vinci replied
"Humph. After all this time, I wouldn't have the nerve..."
"As Sonic mentioned before of another you being his Master. It's safe to say that even she deep down trusts Sonic. Sure she may threaten him most of the time. But that explains how she's looking out for her Master. Even if it's a tiny Hedgehog. So, what would you say?" Da Vinci asks
"Is that true?" Jeanne Alter asks
"Of course it is Jeanne! Evil or not, I enjoy having everyone's company! That includes you as well, even if you're a fake." Sonic replied
"..."
"..."
"*Sigh* I see, even with my look and hatred inside my heart. I cannot kill someone who's not even part of this world. I'm sure your world is much more peaceful than ours, to be honest. Fine, you win this round. I admit defeat..." Jeanne Alter said
"Alright!" Sonic said
"JUST KIDDING!"
Moments later, Jeanne Alter lunges toward Sonic and was about to attack him until a gauntlet flies past Sonic and hits Jeanne right in the stomach, throwing her to the wall. Hit it and fall down soon after. Sonic turns around as Da Vinci puts on her glasses and charges up her gauntlet with a purple orb.
"You may wanna move aside Sonic. Things are about messy." Da Vinci said
A couple of seconds later, Da Vinci fires the orb toward Jeanne Alter and causes a massive explosion that blows up the entire museum into pieces. Mash uses her shield to block the debris for Sonic and EMIYA as the explosion continues to erupt. The explosion eventually dies down as the four were now standing in the middle of a destroyed museum and Jeanne Alter was nowhere in sight.
"Perfect. It's been a while since I used that." Da Vinci said
"W-Was that your Noble Phantasm just now?" Sonic asks
"It sure is. Wasn't it amazing?" Da Vinci replied
"*Scarcthing Back* Heh... yea..." Sonic said
"Master. We've recovered a fragment of the Holy Grail. ...it seems Jeanne Alter also obtained a fragment from somewhere. Now there's no more danger of counterfeit proliferation." Mash said
"Another day, another successful adventure," Sonic commented
"Let us return home, Master. We can now finally rest and go back to our daily lives." EMIYA said
"Sounds good to me," Sonic replied
"This adventure was quite quicker than I thought it'll be... Perfect!" Da Vinci said
"So, does that mean you are going to join in the front lines?" Mash asks
"NOPE!" Da Vinci replied
