" Sometimes I wonder, when the hell did my room become a damn hotel room?"Ziden asked this, solely because of his rather crowded bed he took from his own manor and soon looking down at Keine atop him, sleeping soundly and her kids around them.
She somehow coerced him into letting them share a room, but this was all a memory of the past, He knew why she was like this. And he soon felt a shift of movement.
" Ziden. I'm sorry for the way I acted to you and Mokou in the past...after he died." Keine simply spoke, she was awake it seems.
"..."
" I know you came to watch over me and the kids when he died on that mission with you but in my grief, i used that to abuse you and force you to stay. Grief turned me into a monster and I ran from that."
" You did, honestly, it was pretty bad but things improved once that history was hidden." Ziden said while softly sitting up and feeling Keine cling to him.
" Yeah, it is rude, but..it was his own fault for falling in battle, he wanted real hard to be a hero, but..." Keine simply sighs, not out of sadness but frustration. " That idiot! I've told him countless times, if there is a risk of sacrifice, let you or Mokou do it but no, I don't know how a man's heart works."
And now she was ranting and ranting before stopping. " But, thanks to him, I was able to have wonderful kids and you helped to make sure they grew up nicely, and I thank you for that."
" No problem Keine, as long as ya aren't gonna be as passive aggressive as back then, its all cool." Ziden said while she chuckled.
" Good, because I plan on being the normal amount to you, I hope you do not mind."Keine said, a small grin on her face as the glass shattered and now Ziden feels a new bond being reforged.
"Overcoming the past has opened a new bond, you have reached Rank 1 of the History Arcana. This has granted you the Hakutaku Fang Keyblade. Let your bonds grow to improve your skills."
" Though, you gonna be this clingy?" Ziden asked while poking on her forehead.
" Well, its nice to be held...after all that happened in there...being tortured, prodded about, I only got away because some Green haired girl attacked the place." Keine said while gently moving up and looking into his eyes after pressing her back to his chest.
" Yuuka said it was not here but the girl, wore a tore up black and blue shirt?" Ziden asked while gently looking up to the sky.
" Yeah, barely even got past her chest, tore up blue, oddly material pants as well." Keine described. "And Serpentine eyes, light blue like yours."
Ziden thinks at this, she likely wore Jeans then, and light blue eyes...could it be?
" For now, do not worry about it, its about time for Breakfast, come on." Keine softly moves off of him, having slept in a new dress she got from the Gensokyo supplies, they were way off on how good they were with food and supplies.
After a hearty breakfast, Ziden now stood at the stairs of the Ginza shopping center with his Codec ready. " Ziden. Your mission today is to reclaim the Photonic Power Plant, and free those trapped inside. We never attempted it in the original timeline, so I cannot tell you who will be in there." Tsukasa was talking to him, the male looking to Mash and Caster next to him. And he soon looks to see Yorihime adamantly deciding to come, along with Keine.
" Which means, whole new allies to find since the Tracker Box has been silent lately." Ziden said while placing his hands into his pocket.
" Indeed, you take that place and we shut it down, use the energy to fortify our forces by using magic to route it here without it being traceable." Tsukasa explained while crossing his legs. " Should you not be staying behind with your kids?" He was looking to Keine who shook her head.
" No, I wish to be near Zi- I mean, aid him the best I can, do not worry, I can handle myself. Before I was a teacher, I was indeed a fighter." Keine even wields that blade of hers, albeit rustily, but nicely.
" Well, if you say so." Tsukasa didn't really care before looking at Yorihime.
" I am going to make sure this idiot does not die out there." Yorihime softly sighed while glaring at him.
" Well, we can't leave Master alone this time but, its weird." Caster stops himself there, thinking for a moment. " Ah well, besides, might be a Servant there."
" Yes, and I don't want Senpai to be unprotected." MAsh added as Olga was in the background.
" Very well, I am gonna send you guys into the forest nearby, listen to Snake's instructions and follow them to the letter." Tsukasa explained while rolling his hand and soon forming that large portal before them. The group looking at each other before heading in on, Snake waiting out in the woods they spawned in.
Vim Factory ( Mario and Luigi Partners in time)
"...Senpai, I am still not used to that." Mash said, her eyes closed and in her civilian clothes.
" The portal or the music?" Ziden asked while she stares at him.
" Both." Mash plainly answered before looking to Snake.
" About time ya got here, we got some uglies guarding the place." Snake hands Ziden the binoculars and soon he peeks out.
Guards dotted the perimeter, and not just any guards, he knew these ones, brown armor, and golden helmets, even some basic Shadowloo guards were amongst them. " The Iron Helmets or Cross, or whichever it was. The army that serves Baron Ashura and Dr Hell."
" I've heard of them. Beaten down by the legendary Koji Kabuto again and again, heard that they are at a stalemate right now. So, does this mean that Dr Hell is aiding Bison?" Snake asked while Ziden shrugged.
" No clue, this could just be a request from him personally. Nonetheless, we gotta get in without causing a panic." Ziden said while looking to the group.
" A group this big would be bad for stealth, I recommend we use Sanctuary to hide half of us until we get inside." Keine suggests.
" hmm, dunno what this Sanctuary is but me and Mash should go in." Caster smiled under that hood of his, seemingly fine with this.
" Very well, I grant you access." Ziden said while moving them both behind a tree and taking them into flash of light was blocked by the tree and Ziden notices their path.
" Fatal or non fatal?" Yorihime asked. " I do not care if we kill a few useless impurities, especially if they are evil."
" Your call Snake." Ziden asked while Snake thinks.
" Unlike any other soldiers I've faced, i know enough of Hell to know he is a monster, through and through. So his soldiers, i will leave it up to you guys. Kill, or knock out." Snake said while slowly sneaking through the grass.
The entire yard was messily unkempt, seems the Iron Masks not keeping up with the upkeep, the group sneaking through the yard and using the taller grass to their advantage. Ziden snatching up a guard and swiftly snapping his neck.
Keine winced from the sound before grabbing a guard and gripping him deep into a choke hold, Yorihime surprised she had perfect form for this, the guard struggling for a moment while Yori slammed a blade through the neck of a guard.
Snake was alot cleaner, using tranq rounds to take out the Iron Masks in his path and hiding them in the grass, their sneaking making their way into a back entrance and making sure to take out the camera as ziden and Yorihime takes out the guards at the back with swift chops to the neck.
" Come on, we gotta get in." Snake said as the group snuck into the building, ready to save the people inside.
Meanwhile at the base...
Patchouli and Remilia were in their room, enjoying tea together while gazing down at the paper before them, one made by Satori after an incident in the cafeteria hallway. " Surprised you are not mad about what Satori did." Remilia simply said while sipping her tea made by Sakuya.
" I am but it laid out truths I was ascertain of during my experiments in that Tower of Avengers. That thing she did, revealed something I was suspicious of the moment Yukari told us his memories were erased." Patchouli softly looks at the paper, a symbol of Remilia's family emblem.
" That we met way before any of this, before even the Ultima Brigade. Before Sakuya's claims of being saved by him and our deaths." Remilia softly sighed. " The memory's still clear as day for me."
" Same, I remember him, though he will not remember us until those Chained Memories are freed." Patchouli said while she soon stares at him. " Because of that, do you plan to.."
" Perhaps, by doing so, it would mean I would lose neither you nor Sakuya." Remilia smirked, drinking of her glass. " And...catch up on some old times."
" That good?" Patchouli asked, letting the slyness of her comment peek through.
" That good. But there is the other topic, the Children of Fate. The prophecy that Ziden would bear many children or rather must so that his heroic line. A fate that even the Greek King of the Gods was hit with, and many others. Even humans were hit by it." Patchouli was thinking.
" From what you researched, you say some God is out there, forcing these things to happen, changing the Winds of Fate to draw not only you and Meiling, but others of this debauchery of a Harem? And its not even just him, countless others were caught in its fold?" Remilia asked while her brow was raised.
" Yes, from what I can tell, what should have been different timelines of love for many, all got folded into a single one where one sired many obscene amount of kids. Something out there is not just messing with the Fates of a few, it may just be a far bigger incident waiting to happen." Patchouli Theorized while Remilia sighed.
" Great, if that theory is true, then that means we got some God out here causing major trouble for no real reason." Remilia said while looking at the symbols on the sheets. " did you tell him?"
" Yes, rightfully, he panicked and complained, in his words ' Oh great, first i am in a Harem, now it appears it may have happened because of some God and even more could be added in, wonderful'. He's not happy about it." Patchouli said while gently looking at the tv in the room and seeing Ziden and Co sneaking through the base.
" hmm, well, atleast it ought to be fun, Children of Fate huh." Remilia thinks for a while. " Well, should be fun, but of our final topic. We've kept our memories of him secret but Flandre...what happens when she regains hers and regresses to how she was then?"
Patchouli actually stopped and thought for a moment. " I...do not know...we may need Yukari's aid for this, or even Eirin."
" Might be best, but for now, we have to save this world so we get Flan back and everyone we lost." Remilia said while looking to the ceiling.
Back at the Lab...
The door to the main room of the lab was kicked open as Ziden stormed inside, only see now guards, only familiar faces that were on couches and relaxing.
A man in a brown jacket and wrapped up in bandages and a nice red scarf around his neck, his eyes were sharp and his black hair was wild. " Oh? Well, look at what the devil himself drew in."
Another was a young man in a military uniform, brown hair but he was alot more shocked by the appearance of the group as they filed into the room and soon closed the door behind them. " What the, Ziden!? we saw you die, how are you here!?"
The other one in a Military outfit was here but with blue hair and looking a bit girly. " Amuro, this is Ziden after all, probably had a plan for that." The blue haired male was shocked but not as much.
The final one was a man with overly fluffy hair with side burns pointed like right angles, a nice white shirt and it seems he was staring right at Ziden. " holy hell, you are alive, I knew you would still be kicking after that."
Ziden looks at the group and starts listing their names. " Ryoma, Amuro, Kamille, Koji. The hell are you all doing here?" Ziden asked while looking at them, Snake moving through the room to check for traps, using special spray to disarm any he finds.
" Heh, been trapped here since Bison took over. Handed us over to Baron Ashura's goons, can't even come into Japan right now because of that barrier." Ryoma explained.
" Yeah, us and our Mechs are locked up in this place, can't reach em. They got em under lock and key." Koji said while going to sit down. " Not that we can do much." Koji was seen turning on the large tv and showing the massive lake beyond the place. But Ziden was more focused on the large collection of what appears to be mini mountains in the water.
" IS that..." Ziden knew exactly what or who that was.
" Yeah, Godzilla, King of the Monsters." Amuro answered while Mash and Caster appeared, even Romani took an interest.
" Godzilla? That's a movie monster isn't it?" Mash asked, remember Romani talk about it.
" It is! It shouldn't even be real, how is it.." Romani was soon interrupted by Ziden.
" What you know as Fiction, is real in this multiverse, beings like Godzilla, Jason, Freddy Kruger, all exist in this world in some form." Ziden answered while CAster raised a brow.
" King of the Monsters, don't look that tough. What's so scary about it?" Caster asked, smirking under his hood.
" Makes sense now entirely. Even Bison can't destroy him, so he made a barrier to keep it out." Ziden stares at the screen as Keine and Yorihime were staring at the screen. " A beast made of mankind's failure and the greatest evil we made. Nuclear Weapons. A being of pure nuclear radiation, he fluctuates between the Protector of Japan or its destroyer. Absurdly strong, he could probably raze Bison's regime to the ground." Ziden nods at this before slapping his hand down.
" I get what you are going with, destroy the barrier and let Godzilla strike down Bison?" Tsukasa thinks for a moment. " We never even thought about the barrier. That might actually be the best way to truly turn the tides."
" Well, if this world is gonna fix itself after we destroy Bison, then I see no issue with this plan." Ziden said while looking to Koji.
" If you destroy Bison...everything will return to normal right?" Koji asked as Amuro looked at him.
" It should, that is how these things typically go, if they do not, he says he had a back up plan." Yorihime points at him.
" Then do it...this place is one of two places fueling the barrier surrounding both Japan and the plant, destroy the fuel sources here and the one in that Town, you can take out the Barrier plant in Hokkaido, at the base of one of its Mountains. Yotei." Koji explained.
" Alright, lets move. You guys, after we free this place, remain on standby with those mechs of yours, just in case." Ziden said while the group nodded and the group ran off through the hallways, passing down to the Power Station inside, seeing the grim sight of two bodies, holding each other, the ground stained red and flaky from the dry blood.
" Yumi and Sayaka...I see now why Koji was like that." Ziden said while heading inside of the power room, seeing two massive glass cases with two beings inside of it.
One was a robot colored in blue entirely, and a blue racer like helmet and the other was Okuu, being drained of her energy constantly and Ziden reacted like lightning, slicing through the glass and breaking the duo out, energy bursting out of the room in droves.
MAsh was quick to hold up her shield and protect Ziden when he landed behind her, the shield continuing its protection as Mash was sweating heavily from the heat before it died down, falling right down to her knees.
The energy soon stops as the room was filled with the noise of a loud yawn. " Unyuu? Where am I?" Utsuho seemed to be confused on where she was and soon got up to her feet and shakes glass out of her feathers. " Oh! Mr Ziden!" And he was now pounced on as he pushes her face away.
" Good to see you are alive and Mega Man? All the places ya turn up, its here." Ziden asked while Caster and Keine slowly walk over to him.
" Draining energy from a kid, this Bison fellow is certainly losing points all over the place." Caster spoke while Keine looks at him.
" A child...no, what exactly...is this child?" Keine asked while he slowly got to his feet, rubbing his head.
" I'm a Robot. A Super Fighting Robot made by Dr Light to protect my world but, a weird Space Time quake sucked me to this world." Mega Man explained while checking himself and even morphing his arm into an cannon and checking his energy reserves. All his special weapons were heavily drained.
" Mega man huh, seems like we got a good ally but these two have been drained something fierce, and the power supply is gone, so lets clean up this place and head back to ba-" Ziden was cut off by the loud sounds of something shaking the earth, the group quick to get out of the room and soon found themselves outside of the Plant and seeing the Iron Masks all staring them down with their guns pointed at them, a Shadowloo soldier was looking to the lake behind them as Snake had a grave feeling.
Out of the lake came a massive machine of steel to leap out onto the ground, and roar violently at the group, the Iron Mask Army and The Shadowloo guards all smug. " Behold you weakling Resistance bastards! This is your end, our greatest weapon mass produced here!"
" Metal Gear Ray! They have Metal Gears!" Snake was quick on the draw, pulling out his Stinger Rocket launcher, ready to battle the horde of enemies.
Rules of Nature ( Metal Gear Rising)
Or not, as two white flashes of light appeared over Ray before its body began to violently spark and fall apart after the sound of two clicks were heard from the group, Ziden and Yorihime holding their blades.
The Iron Masks only watched in silence as the machine soon fell apart onto the group, violently exploding and taking out a large number of them. " And you may thank me for that."Yorihime declared as he scoffed.
" Please, I was the one who took that kill on." Ziden said while Mash soon watched the two argue before looking to the distance and seeing someone approaching and Caster knew exactly who it was.
" Tch, so it looks like Saber decided to come find us alot earlier than expected." CAster was quick to summon his staff, only for Ziden to stop him and walk to the Servant.
Their approach to each other was silent, and his hand was gripping his driver, staring down the knight in black. " I see, so you are the one who slew Vega in the ruins of Gensokyo?"
" Yeah I was, you the one who killed Reimu Hakurei?" Ziden asked, gently staring down the woman, fury boiling inside of him.
" Indeed, I am, you may simply refer to me as Saber, your eyes are alot different from hers." Even under her visor, she was watching his eyes. "Go ahead, assume your armor so we may battle."
Ziden slapped the driver on while Reimu watched through the Cameras set up in the base, Ziden battling the woman who took her life.
" Infernal Justice! Burn away the Stains of Evil!"Fire exploded out from him as his sword was formed from the Flames, staring at her hard, the wind blowing between them as Mash wanted to help, only for Yorihime to stop her.
" This is their battle, we will jump in to save him if he dies." Yorihime stated, Mash and Caster worried about this.
" Yeah, that's right, he died, but our contract was still active...what is going on here." Caster wondered before music started back up.
Fight the Knight ( Sonic and the Black Knight)
An explosive dash from the both of them led to a clash of their blades, fire and darkness exploding out from their clash, before breaking apart and soon swinging at each other with lethal force, the ground tearing up from their impacts.
" Hoh, impressive compared to the maiden." Saber complimented, leaping back and letting a dark light cover her black blade and soon swings the blade upwards, causing an explosion of light and wind which Ziden leapt up to dodge.
" Card Set! Special Attack Armed!" Fire began to dance around his hand and soon firing out a storm of fiery dragons to rain down onto the Saber, her dodging by leaping back into the woods and soon chasing in after her.
He was able to keep speed with her, watching her slice through his dragons and soon leaping into the air and slicing right down onto her shoulder. "The reason I am impressive compared to her is because she is not used to fighting blood thirsty foes, truly ready to kill. She fights under special rules that stops that, so a person like you, with the full intent to kill, she is still new to fighting."
" Interesting, then will you die like her, but far worse?" Saber asked, her soon appearing under him and soon blasting a powerful of dark mana right into his chest, the male flying through the air with a sparking and smoking chest before he slams down onto the ground
He was quick to rollout of the way for a powerful stab and soon slices right up when he gets on his knee, his blade slicing deep into her armor and actually drawing blood, surprising her that a human could harm a servant this way. " Sorry, but I ain't dying but you will so I can get her back!" Ziden leaps up and soon slices down onto her once more, clashing blades as the ground cracked under them and exploded.
" Hoh, interesting. Then please, do your best, or you will die here, Chaldea Master." Saber swings her blade upwards and sending Ziden skyward, the male quick to spin his blade and spin down like a drill and clashed down against her blade, forcing her to skid back as Mash and Caster watched.
Reimu watched the battle through the camera while reflecting " Not used to fighting foes not playing by my own rules...I might need aid with learning how to deal with that"
Ziden watched as he was repelled back from her and soon slides along the ground, seeing her flipping her blade reverse handed and glaring him down, the blade light of her blade was glowing violently. Darkness oozing from it and forming a cross along her blade.
" O-oh no! Senpai get out of there! She's unleashing her Noble Phantasm!" MAsh warned while she got in front of the group to slam her shield down to try and protect them as Ziden was right before them
" Noble what!?" Ziden soon sees the darkness blasting out and soon watches her stance shift, and her teeth grit.
" Excalibur! Morgan!"
" Excaliwaht!?" And that was what Ziden said before she swung that blade and a powerful blast of darkness exploded over him, taking the form of a rough laser that completely engulfed him and soon slammed against Mash's shield, not even able to protect them before Yorihime threw up a barrier that cracked but held hard from this, Megaman's light frame being pushed back by the sheer wind of this strike, that hellish strike.
Once the blast ended and the pillar of dark light faded, the area was alight with purple lightning and Ziden stood there with his armor a mess before it fell apart and he detransformed and fell down onto his knees, blood dripping from countless wounds on him that were barely healing, wounds blasted apart down to his bones in countless areas.
" This battle is over, so it seems, you are not even close to being a threat to me or Master Bison. He was right to make me clean up this rabble." Saber spoke while moving in to finish the job, but Ziden's teeth grit itself as Yorihime was close to leaping in to save him.
" SCREW ALL OF THAT DAMN NOISE! You bastards, took my entire family from me! No more. No more playing damn fair!" Ziden was seen shoving his hand into his jacket as she stopped from his outburst and his bony hand soon pulled out an odd yellow ball with long yellow stems and mist pouring off of it, an Elixir. The male soon took heavy bites out of it before swallowing it down and soon golden lights coming from his body before green and blue lights shot out of his body, his body healing instantly as he stood up to his feet.
" Healing potions have become this effective in this time?" Saber seemed off put by this, he was literally at Death's gate but now back at full force, his red blade drawn before he dashed at her, slicing right down onto her, the specks of white in his hair slowly vanishing and only leaving a few strands left. his strike caused the ground to shake and the blade causing shockwaves which cracked her visor, red lines flowing along it.
His leg soon swings down and slams right into her chest, causing her to cough up blood from the impact and watching her ski back and her blade unleashing a blast of dark light. which Ziden leapt to dodge. " That blade, even if its as black as night, that name, there is no doubt who you are, the fabled King of Britain, Arthur Pendragon."
The woman stopped where she stood as Keine stares at her. " Arthur Pendragon...that...name is most certainly a male's but, that is a woman."
" Well, sometimes...history can get genders wrong." Caster said while smiling as Keine huffed.
" That is stupid and illogical! That just means who ever recorded that history is ill fit for it if they cannot get Gender right or this is some case of a historical figure becoming a woman for some asinine reason!" Keine said before Ziden was witnessing her charging up her Noble Phantasm once more.
" Shit!" ziden had no time to dodge nor could Mash try to take another blast. But something happened and the blast stopped, mainly because Ziden saw a brown boot slamming into the face of Saber, causing that mask to shatter and her to smash hard along the ground and skids along it soon stabbing her blade into the ground as her pale face was visible and those golden eyes staring down the group.
" Mmm, looks like Igot here fast enough, you alive old man?" The green haired woman who looked alot like Yuuka turns her head to stare at Ziden, slitted light blue eyes and her tongue hanging out. Though most notable is her torn top and those breasts that were barely held by said top.
" Old man!? I'm not even that old you green haired asshole!" Ziden said as the woman actually flinched from the yelling.
" Reinforcements? No good, we shall settle this another time, warrior, but know this, my name is Artoria Pendragon, not Arthur." A slam of her blade into the ground and she vanished into thin air.
The area becoming alot less tense once she left as the woman stood there staring at Ziden, rubbing her ear. " Mmm, she got away then, that is fine. Only came here to let ya know where to go, Old man. The name's Tsubaki and if ya want that Barrier Station to be taken down. there is a creature that is acting as the second Barrier point." Tsubaki simply placed a hand in her pocket while Tsukasa and Reimu were listening carefully. Yuuka herself was noticing how much the stranger looked like her.
" Yeah whatever, you weirdo brat. Where is this place anyways?" Ziden asked while placing his hands in his pockets as the group approaches from behind.
" Indeed, the place you must head next is uhm...Seito University Hospital." Tsubaki stated while looking at him. " The foe you face there will be a great enemy but, if you are smart, can become a great ally as well." She says before leaping off into a tree and vanishing.
Ziden staring at her going, the male clicking his teeth. " Calling me an old man!" ziden grumbled while MAsh was looking at her shield as Caster noticed it.
Koji was seen running outside and seeing the destruction outside. " What the hell happened out here Ziden!?"
" Relax, we have a bit of a fight, found out who Bison Black knight is and now know where the second barrier spot is. But nonetheless, we want you on Standby, like we said earlier, keep this place safe, we're gonna send back up here to help you guys hold this place. We just need to head to this Seito place." Ziden said while the blue screen appeared before them.
" Indeed and the person that will be there will become a great help to us. The Newest Rider that was born this year."Tsukasa's voice came through. as he was enjoying a sundae. " Come back and rest, that will be a long ride to get there. We never even thought about getting his aid during the previous Cycles."
" I see, we could gain greater forces there." Yorihime added while crossing her arms and tapping the ground 3 times. " Then we return home and rest, tommorow, Ziden shall take his team there." Yorihime soon leaps into the manhole as Keine helps Megaman and Utsuho into the hole, the eye on her chest catching his eye and causing him to rub his own chest.
" A new adventure huh...you know, I should take her with me, help take her mind off things." Ziden said while leaping into the hole as the group funneled in. Koji just standing there, watching this go down as the manhole vanished.
" W-what the heck is going on with those guys. I...just need to go and sit back down...Sayaka...I'll make sure this world is fixed." Koji soon makes his way back inside, hopeful for the old world to return.
Meanwhile...
In the Seito Hospital, Takeru was looking down at one of his friends, resting in a bed, sparking violently while he was panicking about her friend, as the doctor was staring out of a camera, earing the ominous sounds ringing on outside of the hospital.
" WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA!"
Trivia:
1: Keine's reaction to Arthur being female as a wrongness in History is pretty much how Fate fans react to it, its just done for Fanservice for Artoria's and Nero's case
2: Seito is the hospital that the latest, not as of this story Kamen Rider is, and lets just say, he is a pretty epic kinda Rider.
3: Tsubaki Is an OC of mine and well, its obvious why she looks like Yuuka.
