Genre: Friendship/Romance
Disclaimer: I do not own the Fate series or any of its characters
Author's Note: It's about time I wrote something like this. Now, I had to actually watch a little of the movie to get full detail on what's happening. However, since this is my own adaption, I'll be making a lot of changes. First off...I'll have this as females only. No men involved. Sorry, but as a yuri fan, this is what I do here.
Other than that, some things will stay the same cause it's needed. So...hope you enjoy.
What would a clear sky look like? A blue sky with nothing but a few clouds and a bright shining sun. That's what this cute purplenette is pondering about as she looks over at the window, seeing nothing but a blizzard. Outside of the very, very large observatory known as Chaldea. She holds onto a tablet, just staring out the window, letting out a soft sigh.
Just then, her daydreaming gets interrupted by a cute "Fou! Fou!" sound. She turns her head to see a white, squirrel like creature calling out to her, turns around and then runs off. The purple haired girl in glasses sets her tablet aside, as the screen showed a wallpaper of a beautiful blue sky, and runs after the creature. She runs and runs until she stops to see a cute red haired girl, lying unconscious on the floor. She is probably the same age as her. The cute creature jumps on the redhead and licks her cheek to wake her up.
The redhead moans a little and her eyes flutter open. She looks up to see another girl in glasses looking down at her with concern. The redhead jumps back in surprise.
"Who are you?" She asks.
The violet haired girl fiddles with her hands nervously. "I'm...probably someone not worth mentioning..."
"Voldemort?" The redhead tilts her head in confusion.
"Ah! I-I DO have a name, but..." the violet haired girl waves her hands back and forth.
"Are you really, really shy?" The red head asks.
"W-well...it's a lot more than that. I don't really...get the chance to introduce myself all that much, so I don't make a first impression often," the violet haired girl says quietly.
The redhead clutches her head. "By the way...where am I?"
"That's an easy one," the violet haired girl replies. "You are in the large observatory. Known as Chaldea Organizations."
10 Minutes Later*
The redhead buys a bottled water from the vending machine and drinks it while sitting on a bench. "Haaaah...I needed that~"
"You okay now?" The violet haired girl asks.
"Yeah, thanks~" The redhead rubs the back of her head. "I remember going through some kind of simulation when I got here."
"The Spiritron Drive? If you're not used to it, it can put a lot of stress on the brain."
"Ahhhhh...my head is still pounding." The red head clutches her head again.
"Fou was the one who found you on the floor," the purplenette says.
"Who's Fou?" The red head asks.
As if on cue, the squirrel like creature comes running toward the two girls. It leaps on the purplenette's face, climbs on top of her head and then perches on her shoulder. She covers her nose from the impact.
"You okay?" The redhead asks.
"I-I'm fine," the purplenette replies. "This is Fou, a squirrel like creature who likes to roam around a lot."
Fou leaps on the redhead's shoulder, gives her a lick on the cheek, then jumps down to rub its head on her boot and runs off shortly after.
"He is taking a liking to you, Sempai," the purplenette says.
"Eh? Sempai?" The redhead questions.
"You've become his favorite so far," the purplenette says. "By the way, I heard you're one of the candidates?"
"Oh, that's right," The redhead looks down, staring at her bottle. "I was sorta invited out of nowhere, saying I have potential to make a contract with a servant."
"So you're able to do Rayshifting as well?"
"Eh? Rayshifting? What's that?"
The purplenette raises an eyebrow. "Have you come here not knowing what to do?"
The redhead gives a nervous chuckle. "Well...they were very passionate about inviting me here~"
"That's new," the violethaired girl comments.
She then begins to explain the details of the observatory. Apparently, this organzation's purpose is to keep humanity safe and sound, for people to live as long as they want, however they want. For that reason, they developed a global model known as the Chaldeas, a miniture Earth that holds souls. There was a saying that goes, "As long as the light burns within Chaldeas, humanity will continue to live for another hundred years."
But the light has begun to die for some reason. If all of it goes dark, civilization will cease to exist. Within December 2016, the human race will become extint, at least according to their observations. Recently, they discovered something within the Earth. A Singularity known as Singurlarity F, which is located in Japan. Chaldea assumes this "unknown city" was the cause for the extinction. They then proposed a Rayshift experiment to the United Nations, which they approved.
For what Rashifting does, it turns humans into Spiritrons, bringing them back to the past to intervine in certain events. Like time travel, the person can investigate the cause of the future's disappearance, and then destroy it. Chaldea has begun the Rayshifting idea since then.
The redhead's eyes sparkle in delight, pumping both fists. "Time travel is possible now? That is so cool~!"
The purplenette gives a shy giggle.
"Hehe! Oh, yeah. I almost forgot~" the red head holds out her hand. "My name is Ritsuka Fujimaru. Sorry, I didn't make a good impression~"
The purplenette stares at her hand for a minute or two.
"Well, come on~" Ritsuka-chan says. "It's a hand, not a shark. Hehe~"
The violet haired girl hesitates a bit more and then reaches out her own hand. Ritsuka-chan gently grabs it and shakes it a little. When they let go, all the purplenette could do is blush and stare at her hand that touched Ritsuka-chan's. It felt...so soft and smooth.
"Hey, how long have you been here?" Ritsuka-chan asks.
"Eh...? Oh, welll...a little over two years," the violet haired girl replies quietly.
"Ohhhhh, so YOU must be the Sempai then~"
"N-no, no, no," the violet haired girl says. "I hardly ever look or more or less act like it. Everyone here is a Sempai to me."
Ritsuka-chan grins and giggles. "It'd be wonderful for me to call you Sempai every once in a while~"
"P-please, that's embarrassing..."
"Come on. Hehe! Don't you want to hear me say it~? In front of you?"
"N-no..."
"What is your name?" Ristuka-chan asks. "Hehe! And don't say something like, 'It's not worth mentioning' or anything. I'm not buying it~"
The purplenette hesitates for a bit, looking down and fiddling with her hands. "M-my name is..."
Just then, a lovely older lady's voice interrupts her. "Her name is Mash. Mash Kyrielight."
A young woman, dress in an office lady outfit that consists of a white buttoned shirt, black pencil skirt, black thigh high stockings with garter straps and a lab coat over it. She has long black hair tied in a lovely pony-tail.
"This is where you were," she says,
"Professor Hanasaki!" Mash says.
"The meeting for the Masters is about to begin," Hanasaki says and takes notice of the redhead standing next to the purplenette. "Who's this?" She raises her arm and presses a button from a device on her wrist. A holo screen shows an ID, reading Ritsuka-chan's name and number. "Hmmmm...No. 48, huh? Ah, you're one of the recruites. I'm Fujino Hanasaki, an engineer for this organization."
"A pleasure to meet you~" Ritsuka-chan bows happily.
"By the way, you should be attending the meeting as well," Fujino says. "If you're late, the director will get really mad and punish you in the worst ways~"
"Wah! Wh-where is the meeting!?" Ritsuka-chan panics.
Mash quickly takes her Sempai's hand. "This way!" And off they go to the main room where the meeting is held.
Fujino follows them to the elevator and while they wait, the engineer notices that Mash is unusually sticking close to the cute redhead.
"Seems a bit odd to see you this close to her before~" Fujino says. "Tell me: what do you find appealing about her?"
Mash looks over at Ritsuka-chan, blushing and then looks down at the floor. "She is...human."
"Hah...?" Ristuka-chan gives her a weird look.
"Ah...what I meant to say is...she seems human. Everyone around here are a little different."
"Probably because they have one or two quirks." Fujino says.
At the meeting, the director, who goes by the name of Olga Marie, tells every one who participated they are to become Masters with a special potential to do Spiritron Drive. They possess magical circuits and qualifications to become a Master.
For Ritsuka-chan, she knows this meeting is very important. But the fact that lectures tend to make her very sleepy is one of her weaknesses. She doesn't really do well in school all that much back in her own world. The teacher had to repremand her time and time again for her to pay attention in class.
And this time, in this world of Chaldea, the redhead is about to recieve the very same treatment. Director Olga stops talking to notice one of the members is asleep, softly snoring and having a small bubble come out of her nose.
Director Olga steps up to the redhead, presses a button on her device to confirm her name and number.
"I see, we have a lazy young lady here..." the silver haired woman says.
Ritsuka-chan keeps on snoring, which makes Director Olga's eye brow twitch.
With that, Ritsuka-chan is thrown out of the room and the double doors close. The redhead tilts her head in confusion.
"Uhhh...what just..."
"You've been excluded on your first mission," Mash says. "Anyways...let me take you to your room."
As the two head to the elevator, Mash explains a little about Director Olga. She comes from a family of mages, a very strong mage with powerful magic. She heavily insisted on recruiting average citizens, such as Mash herself, to help out the organization.
"Will you leave Chaldea pretty soon?" Ritsuka-chan asks.
"I can say for certain," Mash replies. "But I'll do what I can here. Leaving would be frustrating."
The two exit the elevator, and walk down the halls. Ritsuka-chan stops to look outside the window. There is just a non-stop blizzard blowing. Mash takes a look as well.
"As you can see, there is nothing but a blizzard here," Mash says. "We can't see a bit of the blue sky."
"No way..." Ritsuka-chan says softly. "If you spent two years here...you never once got to experience a beautiful day..."
Ritsuka-chan looks at her new friend with concern. She has a look of longing in her eyes. It must be so hard for Mash to even imagine what a perfect day would be like without having to stare at the blizzard all the time
Later*
"Here it is," Mash says as she gestures toward the room. "Your room. Or...should I say...our, um...room."
"Wait a minute...this was assigned for both of us?" Ritsuka-chan asks.
"Honestly...it caught me off guard," Mash replies. "I-I don't know what to tell you..."
The cute redhead squeals happily and hugs her new friend tightly. "Ohhhhhh~! This is the BEST! I love youuuuuuu!"
"S-Sempai, stop...!" Mash cries.
Ritsuka-chan lets go and giggles. "Hehehe! Well then, we will get to know each other a lot more!"
"Sure, but I still have to do the mission. I'm one of the participants after all," Mash says.
"I see," the redhead says. "Well...best of luck."
Mash gives a nod and then turns to leave. Ritsuka-chan watches the cute violet haired girl trot off.
"She's a very interesting girl~" she says to herself.
Ritsuka-chan opens the door and she gets greeted by a very beautiful young woman. She has long brown hair and wearing a red short dress and blue thigh high stockings. She is adjusting a picture frame on the wall when she turns her head to see a young girl standing there, staring.
"Oh. Welcome, young lady~" the woman says.
"Um...this is my room right?" Ritsuka-chan asks. "I was assigned to this room with a friend."
"Hmmmm...really? That was quick," the young woman says. "I was just about done hanging up one of my paintings for decorations."
"You did this?" Ritsuka-chan asks.
"I certainly did," the brunette says with a smile. "I am an artist. Oh, so sorry. Where are my manners? My name is Leonardo Da Vinci. Call me Da Vinci."
"I'm Ritsuka Fujimaru," the redhead replies, bowing. "Pleased to meet you, Da Vinci-chan~"
"So you're one of the candidates for this organization?" The young woman asks. "I heard the members are going on missions right now. Shouldn't you be part of it too?"
Ritsuka-chan gives a nervous smile and rubs the back of her head. "Welll...ahaha...to tell the truth..." And she explains everything.
Da Vinci pours some tea and hands the cup over to the redhead. "Ahhhhh, so you infuriated the director and got kicked out from your first mission, huh?"
"Yeah...listening to lectures is not my strong suit." Ritsuka-chan replies.
Da Vinci gives a weak smile. "That's a very poor weakness for a Master such as yourself."
"So what brings you here to Chaldea?" Ritsuka-chan asks.
"I...am an inventor and an artist," Da Vinci says. "I have a little workshop here in Chaldea. I work on all sorts of artwork and projects."
"Woooow~!" Ritsuka-chan brightens as her eyes sparkle. "I wanna see one of your latest and greatest inventions someday~!"
"I would love to show you," Da Vinci pets her like a puppy. "For now, since we have nothing better to do, why don't we deepen our friendship, hm~?"
"Sure."
As the two chat, Ritsuka-chan learns some interesting things that Mash didn't mention about Chaldea and the staff. As Ritsuka-chan may have noticed, the entire staff is all female. The masters are all female as well. And that has been on the redhead's mind for a while since she got here. Why is Chaldea full of only women? Da Vinci has the answer right away.
Director Olga may not admit it, but she has a soft side for cute girls. And despite the fact that Ritsuka-chan got scolded by her, Olga is the reason she insisted she'd come out here to be a Master.
"Makes me wonder if Director has a girlfriend," The red head says after sipping some more tea.
"I am kind of wondering about that myself," Da Vinci says. "But of course, Director Olga is never honest with her feelings. Hehe! It's kind of cute for her though."
There is some beeping coming from Da Vinci's device on her wrist. "Yes?" She asks after pressing a button and a holo screen pops up, showing Fujino's face.
"Yes, the preparations are complete. The Masters are now departing inside the capsules." Fujino replies. "I wonder if you are willing to come with if something goes wrong."
"Well, I would love to, if you want me there," Da Vinci says. "But..." She looks over at Ritsuka-chan and then she shakes her head. "Nah, I'm kind of tied up at the moment. Maybe next time."
"Aw, that's a shame. Okay, next time then." And then, Fujino hangs up.
Da Vinci looks up at the red head. "That Fujino Hanasaki-san, the-"
"Oh, I know her," Ritsuka-chan cuts her off. "We met earlier. She's the engineer of Chaldea."
Da Vinci raises an eyebrow and then gives a nervous laugh. "Funny. I have never heard of anything like that coming from her."
"Huh? What do you mean?" The redhead tilts her head in confusion.
"Well you see...Hanasaki-san is actually a mage herself. I don't quite know about what she's capable of, but from the looks of it...she seems like a powerful woman," Da Vinci says.
"What else does she do?" Ritsuka-chan asks.
"She came up with the idea of creating the Chaldeas. To watch over humanity and help out the staff whenever she can," Da Vinci explains. "Seems to me she's quite intelligent."
"So she and Director work together?"
"I can't be too sure about that," Da Vinci says, rubbing her chin in thought. "I have walked by her once or twice every day. On one hand, she looks like a trustworthy one. But on the other hand...hmmmm...let's just say you should be extra careful with her."
"Oh..." Ritsuka-chan does not know what she means, but she will take Da Vinci's word for it.
The young Italian artist stands up and takes Ritsuka-chan's cup. "Anyways, why don't the two of us take a bit of a walk together? Maybe look around at my shop in the meantime?"
"Oh, I would love to~!" Ritsuka-chan jumps to her feet. "Let's go, let's go, let's go~!"
When the two are about to exit the bedroom, there is a sudden blackout, making Ritsuka-chan and Da Vinci panic.
"A power outage!?" The redhead cries.
"I heard Chaldea never has power outages!" Da Vinci says.
There was a young woman at the intercom. "Alert! Fire broke out in the power plant and control room! The bulkhead will close in 240 seconds. All evacuate immediately."
Ritsuka-chan gasps. The control room. That's the room where Mash is...
"We got to hurry!" Da Vinci says as she takes the red head's hand and drags her out of the room.
They make a run for it down the slightly dark hallway, saved by the emergency lighting.
They run and run with Ritsuka-chan gaining speed. She HAS to get to Mash as quickly as possible. They sprint across a bridge and reach the double doors leading to the control room. They are too late. Everything is destroyed and debris falls from the ceiling.
"Wait...Chaldeas is still in one piece for some reason," Da Vinci says.
The Italian artist looks around at the burning room. "It might be an act of sabotage."
"No way!" Ristuka-chan gasps.
"I have to get to the basement power plant!" Da Vinci says as she turns around to leave. "Go back the way you came, Ritsuka-chan! I can't let the light die out!"
"But...Da Vinci-chan!" Ritsuka-chan reaches out her hand, but the woman already left, the doors closing behind her.
"Bulkhead closing in 180 seconds," the woman in the intercom says.
Ritsuka-chan grits her teeth and turns the other way. She HAS to find Mash. She runs through the debris and past the small flames. However she finds the broken capsules along the way. She looks inside and gasps.
"No...everyone is dead..." she says, her voice shaking. "Everyone..."
She steps toward a large pile of debris after running for a while. She pants heavily and then...her eyes widen at the sight of Mash...on the ground with a very large block on top of her, covering half of her body.
"Mash!" She cries as she slides down and dashes over toward her kouhai.
"Sem...pai..." Mash's eyes flutter open and sees the redhead rush toward her.
"Don't worry! I'm coming!" Ritsuka-chan says as she keeps on running.
"I...I don't think..."
Fou is right beside her, hanging his head down. When Ritsuka-chan gets close enough, she cups both hands to her mouth to see blood spilling from her abdomen.
"Oh...God why...?" The redhead's eyes brim with tears. She then shakes her head roughly and tries to grab hold of the brick. "I'll get you out! Don't worry!"
But even when she tries, it just won't budge. It's too large and heavy for her alone.
"Don't...Sempai...just run..." Mash says quietly.
"I won't...leave you...!" Ritsuka-chan grunts as she keeps on trying, but failing miserably to lift the brick.
Just then...an alarm sounds.
"Alert! Alert! The condition has changed. Humanity will not stay safe for another hundred years. The future for the human race will not be guaranteed."
"No...way..." Mash says. "Chaldeas is..."
The miniature Earth is now a ball of fire, just like a close up of the Sun.
"Bulkhead will now be sealed."
Metal doors close in, locking both of them inside. Mash weakly turns to rhe redhead.
"Sempai...I'm so sorry..." Mash says. "Because of me..."
"No, no, no..." Ritsuka-chan looks down with eyes brimming with fresh tears. "It's not..." She rubs her eyes with her sleeve. "I'm sure that...we'll find a way out." She sits by Mash's side. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm...just fine...thanks.." Mash gives a weak smile.
The intercom speaks again. "Seeking suitable masters..."
Mash looks ahead and sees nothing but piles of debris and flames. "Sempai...I want to see the sky...but I can't..."
"Ahaha...I'm sure I will show you the real sky soon, okay?" Ritsuka-chan tries to smile, even though more tears fall from her face.
Mash manages to summon all her strength to lift her shaky arm up. "S-Sempai...lend me...your hand..."
"Y-yes, of course..."
Ritsuka-chan takes Mash's hand with both of hers. She leans close and gently nuzzles her head against it.
"Master found. Number 48." The intercom says.
Debris falls more and more, causing flames to spread.
"Starting Rayshift in 5...4...3...2..."
Ritsuka-chan and Mash just gaze into each other's eyes.
It is then that everything blacks out. Ritsuka-chan cannot remember a thing. It's as if she's going through a dream as she gets Rayshifted. It only happens for about 30 seconds until it is all over.
"All operations cleared. Beginning First Order Verification."
Ritsuka-chan's eyes flutter open. She is...somewhere else. She's not in the burning room anymore. Jumping to her feet, she looks around, realizing that she is in an unknown city.
Everything is dark...the city looks ruined. Ritsuka-chan looks around some more...until she finds Fou coming toward her.
"Fou! Fou, hey buddy!" She says as she picks him up. "Do you know where we are?"
Just then, she hears some clattering coming from behind. She turns around to see a skeleton warrior with a sword coming at her. Her eyes widen as he starts to charge at her, ready to slice her in half. She shuts her eyes tightly, hugging Fou close, bracing for the impact. However, she feels a breeze and then something that sounds like metal clashes with the skeleton warrior and the bones scatter.
Ritsuka-chan opens her eyes to see...
"Wh-what the!? Mash!?" She gasps.
The violet haired girl is dressed in black armor with black elbow gloves and thigh high boots. And in her hand is a gigantic black shield shaped sort of like a cross.
"I'll explain later!" Mash says. "For now, you are not ready. Stay back!"
"Eh!?" Ritsuka-chan looks in awe as more skeleton warriors pop out of nowhere
Mash readies her shield and charges at them. She blocks and hits them with ease. Back and forth, with a parry and another hit. Bones scatter around with each hit. Ritsuka-chan just sits there, staring at her kouhai. She looks...so different from when they first met. How did her wounds heal? How is she still alive?
When it's all over, Mash looks over at Ritsuka-chan.
"Mash...that outfit..." the redhead says.
The violet haired girl blushes. "W-well...this is..."
Just then...they hear a scream from a distance. They see red light just up ahead. Mash turns to Ritsuka-chan.
"Let's go...Master!" She says.
"Eh!?" The redhead gasps. "Master!?"
"We will go through this together...you and I!" Mash says. "You are now a true Master. In fact...the last of the Masters."
"No way..." Ritsuka-chan can hardly believe it. She raises her hand to see a red symbol on the back, clearly a sign that she is indeed a true Master.
