A/N: Sorry for the delayed update peeps! Had some things to deal with IRL, and a bit shorter than normal, but only because the main story chapter's gonna be a bit on the longer side.

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Fate, Highschool DxD, or any franchises referenced or used in this story.

Story Start:

King of Wrought Iron Book 2: Guardian of DxD-Omake Side Story

Side Forge Three: Jungle Devils, British Wraiths, and Cursed Artifacts-Part II

Jungle Camp inside the prison board-Twenty-four hours after entry

Third-person P.O.V.

After Shirou literally hacked 'Van Pyke' apart all the way to the depths of his corrupted soul, Sona, Genshirou, Ruruko, Issei, Koneko, and Asia were setting up camp while he slept off the fatigue and injuries while healing, with Asia helping accelerate his natural regenerative capabilities with her [Twilight Healing], but it was the concern she was fretting over him with as she was healing his wounds that caused everyone some concern over the look on the former nun's face as Sona decided to break the ice on the subject.

"Argento-san...Argento-san...Argento-san!"

"Eh? Ah, sorry. Yes, Kaichou?"

Sona frowned at that. Asia was really distracted by whatever it was that was bothering her if it took multiple prompts just to get her attention. "Is something the matter? You've been having a somewhat distressed look every time you heal Emiya with your Sacred Gear."

Asia visibly wilted at that, as she looked at Shirou's sleeping form, sitting up with that same cursed sword that is keeping the beasts and inhabitants of this jungle prison from attacking them, as if debating with herself before coming to a decision, her face that of saddened resignation over the topic as she turned to look at Sona with a sad and teary-eyed face as she begins to explain, with the others who were awake and not on guard duty hearing this.

"...it's about Onii-chan's body..."

"...what about Emiya's body?" Sona was slightly taken aback by Asia's calling Shirou her 'big brother' but quickly shook off the surprise, given how he really came off as one, if not like a mother hen at times.

"...whenever I use [Twilight Healing] on someone, I at least get an idea of what is wrong with them, for example, if someone is poisoned, I understand what its doing as I cure it, or if they've suffered internal injury I'll know it as I heal them...but Onii-chan...when I use my Sacred Gear to help speed up his own natural regenerative ability, I noticed something horrible about it...something that I think he doesn't want anyone to know, which is why he doesn't like having me heal him, to avoid making me feel useless to help him, to keep me from getting upset by it..."

That got Sona, Issei, and Genshirou to pay attention, with rapt attention. Something about his regenerative ability is going to upset them? What is it that would make Asia on the verge of tears as she saw it? The concern in her eyes were of worry for Shirou, but it was what they heard her say next that caused their minds to blank out as their faces paled in horror as Asia explained it, with Genshirou and Issei literally to start swearing like a pair of sailors and even Sona began blatantly cursing openly at how anyone could remain sane, much less alive from what Asia revealed to them all about Shirou's regenerative ability…

...a few hours later, they returned back to the world outside, to find the two weeks that had passed in reality had only been five hours trapped in that hellish prison, but they did not bring up what they find out about Shirou's condition as Serenity, Arielle, and Aika all came, grabbed him, and took him home when they saw his condition. Shirou handed over 'Van Pyke's [Vendetta], the rifle he used to shoot Shirou with to Kurotetsu, told him NOT to let the dangerous thing out of his sight for now, and then willingly allowed the trio of worrying beauties drag his tired and still-recovering ass back to his house. It did not need to be said just what the trio were wanting from him the second he fully recovered, but the concerning information about Shirou's body that Asia inadvertently discovered was never shared by the four of them...after all…

...his body was made out of swords...

Few Hours Later

Unknown Location

Unknown P.O.V.

In an undisclosed location, hidden behind a plane of existence that only very few had the capability or power to enter or leave throughout existence, a particular group said to embody the Evils of Man were gathered.

It was something of a surprise for the lot of them to gather like this in one place, in the same world, at the same time, given their respective natures, but given the reason behind this meeting, they could understand the reason why that is.

Through the Monster of Gaia's powers as her envoy, Beast IV Cath Palug, otherwise known as Primate Murder, was speaking directly to each f his fellow Beasts, as the topic was one that warrants their attention, after all, it wasn't every day this kind of news came around…

"Ufufufufufufu...So, you think him worthy, just because of who he is to us? I would sooner devour him and birth a new demon than accept him so easily if he can't even satisfy me." A sultry and seductive tone, one which could have made men groan as they endlessly creamed their pants in pleasure until they died and even women to go insane from suffering death by orgasm, spoke as shadowy hands appeared to make her point get across to the envoy of Gaia.

"And I say you need to reign in that lust of yours, Three-R, before it gets you in trouble again, or have you forgotten what happened with that 'Hakunon' person the last time you couldn't keep it in your pants? We should test this one, to see if he is indeed worthy of our loyalty, as is our kind's custom. Besides, you who have not felt the joy of motherhood would never understand anything more than the pleasure of being with another so deeply in an emotional manner." 'Like the whore you are' went unsaid, yet the message went received without needing to say it aloud. This speaker was also a female, one whose voice despite its youthful and motherly undertone, radiated ancient, millennia-old power with her words and radiated a primordial ocean of dragonic energy.

"I'm sorry, but I refuse to be tied down like that, since none could hope to satisfy my needs in such a manner. So I won't settle for just one partner at a time." Unlike you, old hag.

The tension between the two caused those gathered to simply sigh in resignation at trying to get the two women to get along, however one of them had had enough of their quarreling and decided to step in finally.

"Enough!" It was a loud voice that seemed to be many echoing at once, yet unique all the same. The two women, and the others gathered looked to the source in the form of a demonic entity that radiated power perpetually, yet the others knew not to case him problems as he continued.

"We shall follow tradition. We all understand, but we all also know we have been waiting for a long, long time for his return. But We will wait until he shows his capabilities are truly that of who we seek. Until then, continue staying by his side, Four."

"I already intended to, One." Cath Palug responded without hesitating. He then dropped the power allowing them to communicate, thereby going back to where he was, and visiting his friend Inuken in the forest he typically dwells in as its Guardian. Cath Palug does not have many of them, and neither does Inuken, but they both acknowledged the same person as worthy of their loyalty, and Beast Four Cath Palug does not give his out lightly, nor so easily. So he could only hope that this one would not disappoint, as Gaia herself wished for them to rally behind him as their newly gained leader.

After all, Beast 0 was thought to have been lost long ago, so having them reunite under a supposedly dead entity was something they could not be honestly expected to do so easily anymore. As such, tradition would require their new lead to complete trials to gain their loyalty. Cath Palug already gave his, but the others...only time would tell whether this was a blessing or a curse to bare in the months to come...

A/N: Dun-dun-DUUUUN! Here's a bit of a hint as to what's probably going to happen in a few arcs and reveals in a few chapters for the main story. Until Next Chapter, PEACE OUT!
