A/N: Hey peeps! Here's the last chapter for Book 1.5 that gives a transition between the interlude book and Book 2. Not really much to respond to in the reviews this time, except to one for the Guest Reviewer from last time. Thank you for the compliment. I was trying to make Sixth Sorcerer Shirou seem OP when he's pissed off enough, but otherwise likes to play down his actions as nothing special. Keep in mind, being humble is Shirou's way of not growing complacent and remaining 'human' without his lovers or family there to keep him anchored as such.
Now, onto the disclaimer.
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own any franchise referenced or used in this fic, as they are the respective properties of their respective authors, publishers, creators, and owners. This story is a continuation of an AU of mine of Marcus Galen Sands own fanfic 'God Slaying Blade Works' as the basis for this series, with references to other franchises credited as used to the best of my abilities, a meshing of canon lore for each world in a manner that makes sense, and my own original ideas thrown into the mix every now and then. This is an UNPAID FANFIC of a FANFIC, meaning a FREE FAN-MADE FICTION of a FAN-MADE FICTION that I wrote for ABSOLUTELY NUDDIN'. So if you paid to read this, then you got ripped off. And if you do not like it, then you do not have to read it. Nobody is making you.
And now...
STORY START:
World Travels of the King of Wrought Iron: Shirou's Parallel World Adventures
Fourth World: Two Swords, An Artificial Soul, and Kaleidoscopic Magical Girls-Epilogue
Fuyuki City, Japan-Miyu's World
Third-person P.O.V.
After the rather...embarrassing...encounter in the bedroom and finally getting over the pain of having his manhood smashed, the trio of Shirou, Sakura, and Angelica made their way to the dining room, with Miyu walking in from the front door. She slammed the door shut after the swift strike to her Onii-sama in his very painful wake-up call and left in an embarrassed and angry huff. Yet it was her coming back minutes after they got out of bed with a package in her hands that was the source of much confusion right now in the Emiya Household.
"Onii-sama, what's this?"
"What's what Miyu?"
"I found this on our porch this morning...it's addressed to me, but says it's from you?"
"Huh? Why would I send something by mail to my own house for when I was trying to save you all this time, Miyu?"
The two siblings were confused, as well the two new residents of one Matou Sakura and one Angelica Ainsworth. Opening the package, they found two things, the first was a cell phone, much to their confusion, until the saw the second thing, a letter addressed directly to Miyu…
'Dear Miyu,
You may be wondering where this package came from, so allow me to explain. This phone acts like a normal phone, but it also has been specially modified by yours truly to also grant a direct line to contact the two pre-programmed numbers in it. The first line is a direct one to me if you ever need to contact me for any reason. As for the second, go ahead and give it a try. I believe you'll love this.
Sincerely, Sixth Sorcerer Emiya Shirou.'
Suffice to say, they were surprised. That sorcerer gave her something like this free of charge. It was like a get-out-of-jail free card with the magical community right here in here hands. Just as the letter said, there were two numbers already programmed into it. The first one was symbolized with a sword as an emergency contact, while the second one was something that made Miyu's heart race seeing it.
Deciding to give it a try, she decided to contact the symbol of a ruby red magical girl wand with a star and wing design in the two contacts and waited for it to pick up...
Scene Change
Fuyuki City, Japan-Illya's World
After arriving to the very spot where her little girls were right at before disappearing, Irisviel had begun to fret any worry like there was no tomorrow. As for Caren, she simply limped up to the spot where the nearby trees were still intact. It's been about an entire day since her babies were lost, and she was fretting whether she'd see her precious daughters again.
As she was fretting and borderline panicking about her baby's safety, the space where they disappeared suddenly slashed with a tear in reality, causing Irisviel to pause in her panicked pacing while Caren suddenly reacted with her Masochistic Spiritualist Disposition by having her body break out in cuts, hacking up black mud, and her pants getting sopping wet again from the strong reaction she just got as the portal opened.
When Rin, Luvia, Bazette, Illya, and Kuro came out of the portal, the one thing that shocked Irisviel more than anything were the two older boys who came out as well right before the portal closed behind him. One looked to be about seventeen or eighteen, with darker hair, silvery gray eyes, and was stiff as a board with creaks every time he moved too much, revealing he was a mechanical golem in human form rather than an actual person. But the other person...looked just like an older version of her son…
"Thank you very much for giving us a way back, Sixth Sorcerer Sherou."
"What the hyena said. Thank you very much, Lord Shirou."
Luvia and Rin both bowed very respectfully to Shirou in gratitude, but he waved her off and walked over to Illya and Kuro to speak to them next. He bent down in a standing kneel while being careful with Kurotetsu, not wanting him to become damaged too badly any more than the sentient machine already was as he spoke to the two of them.
"I apologize for not giving you a chance to speak with Miyu before leaving, but as both an apology for that and as my way of thanking you for teaching Tetsu here how to be more human, I have a gift for you, Illya. Something for you and Kuro to share."
He reaches into his pocket and hands her a cell phone, getting a raised eyebrow from Iri and a look of shock from Rin and Luvia that a Sorcerer like me would even have one. Just as I handed it to her though, it began to ring, with Shirou smirking at the perfect timing. Confused, Illya opens the phone, to an image of a sapphire blue wand with butterfly wings and a ribbon, getting her surprised before he answers with a tentatively nervous expression.
"...hello?"
"ILLYA!"
"MIYU!"
The sheer joyous smile at being able to talk with her friend again whenever the two wished from their respective worlds was enough to make them very much happy. He also slipped a package into Kuro's hand with a note, giving her a shake of his head to tell her not to open it until later, in private.
As he walked away, Shirou noticed Irisviel giving him an odd look. Before he simply gave her the trademark smile of her son, getting her mind to freeze as he responded. "Glad to see this world's version of you is alive and happy, Iri."
The way he said it made it clear who he was yet he began to carry Kurotetsu with him to yet another portal he slashed to get away from the area. He had a certain trolling old vampire to skewer alive for this latest discovery.
"Wait..." irisviel asked, getting Shirou to pause for just a moment.
"Why did you help us? Who are you?"
Shirou smiled at Irisviel's question. She was a magus after all. She knew typical magus and sorcerers don't just give things for free, even something like this isn't something one would normally give. But he wasn't normal even by Magus standards. Shirou simply smiled his usual smile, free of malice and ulterior motives, as he answered.
"I am the Sixth Sorcerer and Daemon King of Wrought Iron. As for your other question...Do you have to have a reason to help others, least of all your own family...Mom?"
She didn't even get a chance to respond as Irisviel's brain froze at that response and the smile on his face right before Shirou and Kurotetsu walked through the portal to his hotel room to get to fixing up Kurotetsu's body. He had plans to be halfway around the world and straight into the Clocktower as soon as he finished the repairs of his mechanical friend. He had a meeting with a certain vampire/troll and his very large arsenal of very sharp and pointy friends and blunt buddies to skewer and beat the Wizard Marshal with...
Scene Change-Two Days Later
Clocktower-London, England
Shirou P.O.V.
After taking a full day of fixing up Tetsu's body, I took him through a portal straight to the Clocktower's General Studies lectures, with none other than Waver Velvet, Lord El Melloi II, standing there as the entire lecture hall went silent, with the Clocktower Lord dropping his chalk he was writing with as the entire room was gaping at my rather nonchalant method of simply waltzing into his classroom while it was in session through the obvious use of casual sorcery.
Turning my head to greet him, I nodded respectfully while apologizing. "Sorry about that Waver-sensei. I just only really knew this place would be easiest for me to get right to the Clocktower from. If you'll excuse me, I need to go see a certain vampire sorcerer colleague of mine to remind him that his fellow sorcerers are NOT his personal janitors. Please continue as if we were never here."
I said as Tetsu and I made our way to the door, as Waver looked at my face with surprised shock, before my words registered to his mind. "WAIT! Did he just call me his TEACHER?!" I heard him shouting in disbelief as I walked out of the room. Everyone saw me and felt my power, though restrained and held back, knew to get out of my way. The fact I was also giving off an Asura probably had something to do with it as I made my way to Zelretch's office here in the Clocktower.
As soon as I approached the door, I didn't bother knocking. I didn't bother reaching for the doorknob. I simply lifted my right foot, planted my boot in the door frame, and busted the door down, a slew of choice words on my tongue, yet died in my throat by what I saw when I entered the room. Tetsu was surprised by my actions, until he also saw what the state of the room was currently.
The bookshelves were vandalized. Zelretch's desk had been smashed. The rugs and furniture had been slashed as if by a beast's claws. But standing right above it with cold fury burning in his blood-red eyes standing next to a very pissed off Aozaki Aoko, was a big graffiti writing over the barred floor, mocking Zelretch, Aoko, and myself in a manner I recalled all too well. The two turned to look at me before they saw the look on my face. I turned to look at the two of them after the taunt was made clear. Now I knew why Zelretch was having a hard time resolving the situations I'd been cleaning up for him.
"Let me ask just one thing. Would you like a shot at him after I drag the bastard here to die, or do you want me to torture him to death slowly this time before giving you both the chance to finish him off?"
"ERASE THE BASTARD!"
The two said in perfect unison as their shared thoughts on the matter, choosing to give me the third option of dealing with this nuisance. This guy was a pain in the ass to catch. But then again, a time-stopping blonde vampire with a taste for raping and breaking women is very difficult to catch. Aoko would have been sent, except the last time she was forced to run before getting caught in a trap he set specifically for catching her and barely escaped the same fate as all his other female victims.
"Twice he has escaped me; twice he has insulted me; there will NOT be any thrice attempts to do so this time for either."
I growled out as I looked at the taunt the culprit left, mocking the three sorcerers in the room. Just three words, yet these three words burnt all three of us up like nothing else in big bold letters…
'DIO WAS HERE'
A/N: Dun-dun-DUUUUN! To give you guys an idea, and to prevent any calls on bullshit, yes, the one who vandalized Zelretch's study and insulted Aoko, Zelretch, and Shirou was none other than Dio Brando from the Jojo franchise. I decided to take a few liberties with his desing and character to fit with Nasuverse and Multiverse themes, but suffice to say, the blonde time-stopping vampire was one of the jobs Zelretch asked Shirou for help dealing with. The guy also escaped from the three of them on two separate occasions. He pushed his luck this time though. Book 1.5 is now officially over. Next post will be K.O.W.I Book 2: Guardian of DxD. See you all in my next fic. 'til then, PEACE OUT!
