Flashback
As he sat in the office, Caules looked like he was just told his sister was here to see him, but it was something much worse.
"Now, you know I would send Gray if I could, but the Mystic Code just refuses her." Lord El Melloi II aka Waver velvet, his professor and one of the people assigned to watch him for the last few years. He stared down at the young head of the Yggdmillennia. In the corner, a young girl, his direct appearance only known as Gray sat there, looking a bit down because of the things the Mystic Code told her.
"I'm too old?" She asked herself as she sat there. Waver took a deep sigh as he looked down.
"So, her deal was… that she works with young boy. Flat isn't here at the moment it would take too for him to get here. So, you are the only I can trust." Waver is the only one who shows Caules any kind leeway for his past, the rest treat him as if he can turn again at any moment.
"So, what do I have to do?" Caules asked. Lore El Melloi looked down at a picture of himself when he was younger with a rather large friend, his face obscured from view. This friend helped him before who he is today.
"I'm sure you were eavesdropping when I had Tohsaka and Edelfelt in here not too long ago when I sent them out to collect 7 class cards, and when they discovered an 8th card." He said.
"We had been looking into sudden disturbances in the United States and the Leylines through it. We believe that they are class cards as well, since they are resulting in the same effects that have been happening in Japan." He said.
"So… since you can't send Gray, you're sending me?" Caules knew this was the only reason why he was even being asked.
"As I said, she refuses to work with girls. If I had my way, Gray would be on the first flight to America, but I have no choice but to rely on you…"
Flashback end…
'I'm pretty sure if he saw what happened, he would regret putting his trust in me.' Caules thought as he looked at his party of a boy in magical church close and the very annoying wand. He really hopes he wasn't the only one who has to deal with them…

Opening 1: Starlog by ChouCho
*Music starts as the new class cards fall through a dark void, only 16 of them pass through as a person fall through after them, they seem to be holding something in their arms before they fall into a light, revealing the present-day*

I Believe
*It ends with all three of the girls reaching out to him, happy to have the new person around.*
XPAGEBREAKX
Since it was the middle of the night now, there wasn't anyone around to see Deion dressed like… like...
"I look like I'm trying to be a piece of candy!" He whined a bit to his new partner in crime, Caules, who was already a bit done with this kid, even if something like 10 minutes ago he just swore an oath to aid him in battle.
"You're the one who took Emerald up on her offer. I'll be more than happy to take her-."
"Not happening on your life! We are happy together!" Emerald cut in as she knew what the family head would say.
"You're making it sound even weirder," Deion added as he felt a bit used now.
"So… Caules… why are you collecting these class cards?" Deion asked as the two made their way down the street.
"I was ordered to by the Association, I thought we went over this," Caules stated.
"No, I mean… what's in it for you? Do you get a reward for it? Are they that important?" Deion rephrased his question, causing Caules to look at him curiously.
"You can say my reward might be getting off their watch list." He said slightly under his breath, but Deion and Emerald could still him. The wand though chose now not to speak as she just held herself still in Deion's hand.
"Let me ask you this, do you normally do what strangers tell you to do?" Caules shot back.
"Not the best thing for a kid your age. You've gotten yourself in quite the mess now. But I don't blame you for it, if anyone, blame Emerald for being the way she is." He went on, earning him a glare, or what could be even counted as one, from her.
"It's only been a little while since she even…. Did what she did… I don't blame her for this, this was my choice." Deion said.
"And what do you know about making such a choice that can impact your life while you're so young?" Caules asked him, slightly colder than before.
"This is not a game that we're playing. I almost lost my life retrieving two cards so far. You, on the other hand, have your whole life ahead of you." Caules didn't want to seem angry, but this boy was unintentionally bringing back some memories he wishes he could forget.
"I…I… I just." Deion clearly, as Caules said, didn't think this through. But he knew one thing.
"Then if you almost died on your own, then let's do this together."
"Splendid idea. You know you couldn't possibly do this without me Caules, so if you're going to do it from now on, you're going to need Deion's help as well. So I hope that oath you made wasn't to scare him."
"It wasn't, I meant every word of it. I'm just trying to make sure Deion understands what he's up against." Before Deion could reply, Caules stopped them in the middle of a football field from some high school.
"It's here. Emerald, if you will." Caules ordered.
"I got it. Here we go." She said as Deion looked around.
"Go? Go where?" He asked before Caules smirked.
"To collect a Class card, you battle and defeat the corrupted Heroic Spirit of the card." He pointed out.
"This battle can only take place in a realm called the Mirror World… That is part of Emerald's job, to take us there." He said before a void-like construct formed under their feet as Emerald began to chant.
"Adding imaginary axis to the fifth observed variable. Beginning inversion preparations. Confirming that complex space exists. Focal point established. Forming limited-dimension Mirror Road. Forming two-meter radius Mirror Road. Begin partial inversion of Mirror World Circuits." She chanted as the world around them became suddenly fuzzy, but not in the way that Deion was getting tired or dizzy, but in a way as if the world around him was being distorted by its own means.
Suddenly, the world shifted a bit, feeling as if it just fell out of sync with everything, time and space. As soon as Deion felt all this, it was gone, and it looked as if they haven't left the football field, but upon a closer look, Deion could see that something was completely off about this place.
"This is the Mirror World?" Deion asked as Caules grasped his shoulder.
"Stay on your guard, this servant we're facing is of the Rider-Class. Riders normally have some kind of mount from what I read. It's either a machine or an animal that is real or mythical. Also, all heroic spirits have weapons and abilities called Noble Phantasms. They are something from their legend that gives them immense power and skills." Caules clearly wanted to make sure Deion didn't get hurt in his first outing, and hopefully the last one. Caules is betting on that this would scare Deion enough to make him force Emerald to undo their pact, which knowing her, she won't on her own. But until then, like he swore, he was going help Deion as best he could.
"Alright, get ready." He pointed downfield as a dark circle began to open up and form. Out of it slipped a being that looked like… A young girl?
"Huh?" Caules was clearly confused since while one of the servants he faced before was also female, she didn't look nearly as well put together as this one. This one was where a white mini-skirt that had blood like veins running around the bottom of it, long white stockings and white shoes, and a white bra-like top, but huge white sleeve-like gloves. Other trimmings and such were colored black and white with some pieces of clothing having the blood veins running through them. It soon opened its eyes and they gave off this sinister feeling as the eyes were a deep yellow color and slit like a cat.
"I have to fight that!?" Deion asked as he couldn't take his eyes off what just manifested before him.
"To turn it into a card?" He asked as Caules looked at him.
"Now do you understand. This is what I warned you about." He said as he placed a hand on Deion's shoulder.
"We can leave now. There is no shame in it." Caules can feel that this thing wasn't going to just roll over and die and that Deion wasn't ready for this fight. "If you do want to give it a try, then I'll be here for you." He said calmly. Deion took a deep breath as something entered his mind… the words of his brother…
Flashback…
Deion held ice to his head as his brother, Will, was tending to few cuts on his younger brother's knee.
"…And you just let them do this you?" Will said, slightly disappointed in Deion.
"I… couldn't do anything. There were four of them and only one of me." Deion pointed out.
"This is most likely the most terrible advice you can give, but if you don't stand your ground, it won't matter if they come at you in numbers. The moment you show weakness or fear, they will hold it over you. You have to stand your ground no matter the outcome. Hey, it could inspire people to side with you." Will said before patting his brother on the head.
"So, how about this, next time those guys try to steal from you and bully you, stand your ground and don't let them break you. Now let's go sign you up for self-defense classes." Will wasn't stupid, if he was going tell his brother to stand up for himself, he can at least give him the tools to do so.
Flashback end…
"No… If I don't stand here, then I can't bear to face my brother when he comes home." Deion declared as Caules was very much taken aback by this. Deion walked forward as the Rider servant finally turned its attention to him.
"Alright, Deion show me what you do! ~" Emerald mused.
"Let's start with something simple, how do you like to fight? Punching or guns?" She asked him as Caules and Deion mentally facepalmed.
"I prefer to punch." Deion deadpanned.
"Then I shall reinforce your body's physical strength and defense with mana, as well as focus it in your arms." She said.
"As well as reinforce your legs so you can move faster." She added before the Rider servant took out a weapon, a rather large lance-looking weapon.
"Alright, here it comes," Emerald called as Deion got ready. It charged wildly at him before reaching him. It began to swing its weapon. Deion was barely dodging it as he was still getting used to his body. It felt so light now, as well as felt so powerful.
"Incoming!" Emerald called as Deion was a bit distracted thinking about his movements, he missed the servant pick up its leg and kick him. It was strong enough to knock back a few yards into a bench. Caules came sprinting over.
"Are you alright!?" He was completely concerned for the young boy, despite the attitude he displayed before. He had to be he was pretty much sending him to his death.
"I'm fine… I think." Deion was able to get out.
"It's coming at us!" Emerald told the two males.
"Deion, quickly hold me up and imagine shooting a powerful blast of power, then give it a verbal command!" She instructed him as Deion listened. He held her up and pointed right at the attacking servant.
"Umm…Umm..." Deion was thinking of what to say when he fires it off. It then came to him.
"Mint Laser!" He called, as the blast of magical energy fired off from his weapon. The attacking servant didn't expect it and didn't have time to dodge, taking the full brunt of the attack, which knocked it back.
"That was wonderful. If it was at full power, you might have killed it." Emerald said.
"Wait that wasn't full power?"
"No, well that hit was a bit harder than I thought, so I been using some of my power to keep you from bleeding." She informed them.
"Here, I'll fix him up. It's about all I can do on my own." Caules told them as he found the spot that needed to be healed. From his hands, a burst of electricity began to spark up and each zap made the wound close up.
"And 'Mint Laser'? Really kid?" Caules was trying to hold back a small laugh.
"Hey, it was all I can think of!"
"I think it was adorable."
"NO ONE ASKED YOU!" Both of them shouted at Emerald. The trio than heard a loud growl as they looked, the Rider servant was back on their feet. It then used a backflip to move down the field from the two, ignoring it was wearing a skirt… much to Deion and Caules's shock and horror as they were paying close attention… Accidently seeing something they wish they haven't.
"…HOLY SHIT THAT THING IS A BOY!?" Both of them were scared from the sight.
"I can't unsee it!" Caules said as Deion covered his own eyes.
"This is why I don't look upskirts!" He complained.
"Ohohoh so that's why something felt off about that girl, it was a boy this whole time!" Emerald stated.
"That would explain why they had such a flat chest for a teen looking girl with such pretty pink hair." She added as her male associates were looking as if they wanted to die or rip out their eyes.
"Let's… hurry up and take HIM down before we get another unexpected surprise." Caules said as he finished healing Deion, who nodded in agreement.
"Please." He said before standing up.
"Emerald. I have an idea. Can you put as much power into my arms as you can? I have a rather strong punch." He said.
"Ummm, are you sure that's wise?" She asked as Deion nodded.
"If it's like people in online games, then he won't fall from the same trick twice." He reasoned as he put his fist up.
"Alright, I'll keeping some power for defense and speed, but you'll now be moving slower than before just be careful," Emerald warned him. Caules was interested in this as well as he watched Deion. He wasn't just watching to see if he fails, but to get an idea on his fighting style, his skills, and how Deion uses Emerald's power.
'Alright, what are you going to do?' Caules thought. Deion took a breath before slamming his foot down, using it to take off like a runner in track.
He bolted towards the Rider, who in turn charged at Deion, which is what the boy wanted. When they were mere feet from each other, Deion slammed his foot down once more, stopping his forward movement before cocked back his right fist, giving the servant time to react to this as it began to dodge to its left… only for the full force of Deion's left fist to make contact with its face.
Deion's right fist dipped low before he twisted his body into making the attack an uppercut, decking the Rider with a second strike. Last while he twisted, Deion called to Emerald.
"Right leg, increases Strength!"
"Roger!" She did as he said as he turned the twisting he was doing into a roundhouse kick, slamming his foot and upper leg into its side, knocking it away hard from the amount of power he used. It slid across the field as it was caught off guard by these strikes. Deion kept the pressure up as he moved to catch up with Rider, slamming two fists into its chest.
"That's right Deion, giving it the old 1-2!" Emerald cheered as she was giving him mana in areas, seemingly catching on to what he was doing. He was enhancing his body at just the right moment to not waste any mana, as well as using it to trick where each blow would come from.
He was doing it in a way to where he believes the servant might try to block or dodge his attack. Deion then brought up his knee up to its crotch area, slamming it there as he and Caules both shuttered at his own hit. Deion's attack was finally caught as Rider caught on, grabbing his fist finally and punching Deion in the stomach. Emerald reinforced the area just before the blow, but it still sent Deion flying into the stands of the field. He felt the impact of the metal bleachers, feeling them bend and break from him flying into them.
"Are you alright Deion? That was a nasty hit we took." Emerald asked.
"She's right. It might be time to end this." Caules walked up, once more performing some healing as quickly as he could, seeing the corrupted heroic spirit was recovering from the punishing blows Deion delivered it.
"That was impressive. But it's going to take more than that to put that thing down. Here." He pulled out one of the class cards and handed it to Deion.
"Emerald has another ability. She can include the class card, turning herself into one of their weapons, a Noble Phantasm." He explained.
"Turning herself into… You mean like a Shikai?" He asked Caules excitedly as he was thinking about his favorite anime.
"Shi-what? No, this is her accessing the Throne of Heroes, it's how YOU fight with the power of a Heroic Spirit." He confirmed what Emerald was talking about earlier to him.
"You ready for this?" Caules helped him up.
"I still think this is a really bad idea, but you have proven that you can handle it to some degree at least. If you manage to pull this off, I'll never doubt you again… Deion." Caules was still thinking what Emerald did was wrong on so many levels, but it's up to him to make the best of the situation. Scaring Deion wasn't going work, not after the boy had just pretty much faced down a heroic spirit in hand to hand combat and had it on the ropes for a while, so he might as well completely trust him. Deion held the card as he looked to the Rider just as a powerful gust of wind blow past them. Rider than jumped up as a black creature swooped down, letting him on its back.
"Oh no, that has to be its Noble Phantasm, it's mount," Emerald said as she knew what needed now.
"Well, if they are taking to skies, then we should too. You're just a boy version of a magical girl, and they can all fly, so that means you can fly too. Just picture yourself soaring through the air." She told Deion. He looked to both his new partners, Caules nodding as he too used to fly.
"Trust her on that. Now, finish this battle." He proclaimed as Deion stood up.
"You include the card by pressing to Emerald and calling out 'Include' than the class card's class name." Caules finished explaining as Deion nodded.
"I'm going now, Caules." He said before his mind was filled with images of him taking to skies like one of his favorite characters. He then jumped up and began to fly. He soared up through the air to meet Rider and its mount. He then planted his feet in the air as Emerald was surprised, he was thinking he could stand there.
'What kind of flying is he thinking about where he can stand on air as if it was solid?' She wondered as Deion held her out.
"Include: Berserker!" He called as the card activated, turning Emerald into a large ball hammer.
"This is the Weapon of this Berserker… It is like Shikai!" He said as he grinned. He looked over to the Rider, seeing the beast it had was a Hippogriff, but far more monstrous than the one he has seen on Harry Potter. It had sharper talons, a more jagged beak, blood-red eyes, and its feathers were all black, as well as the same blood-red vein-like cracks that Rider had on its outfit and skin. The beast let out a roar before it flapped its massive wings, flying towards Deion, Rider had its main weapon out. Deion did the same.
"Let's do this Emerald!" The young boy called as he leaped forward, flying towards the servant, playing chicken with it. Deion didn't pull back or anything, but with him still getting used to flying, he lost the game as one of the hippogriff's talons grazed his shoulder, slicing through his outfit and even drawing blood from him, which Emerald quickly stopped. Deion winced at the pain as he held the hammer, he turned around, flying at full force as he held the hammer back, slamming it into the beast's hind leg, seemingly breaking it.
"That did something." He said to himself. The beast didn't seem phased by this as Rider swung his own weapon, only for Deion to block with his hammer.
"I'm not done with you yet!" Deion called as he parried the weapon and knocked the mount in its side, then knocked Rider off it as he in the same move, used the hammer to spin himself upward and kick him in the face. Deion than dropped down as he felt the hammer began to charge up something.
"It's Berserker's attack Noble Phantasm!" He heard Emerald say.
"Whoa, you can talk while you're another weapon?" He asked.
"Of course, I can, I'm still me! Now let's finish this crossdresser!" She cheered. From the ground, Caules watched the battle, once more, studying Deion's movements as he could see that hammer light up and Rider falling, but its mount was quickly coming back for its master.
"DEION! HURRY UP BEFORE YOU MISS YOUR CHANCE!" He shouted. Deion cleared his mind as he held the hammer out. He felt a surge of power flow through him. He quickly dove down through the clouds, seeing the mount coming back.
"We'll get them both at the same time! Let's end this!" Deion waited as the mount came to view, right as it was about to catch its master. He sprung his trap. He shot off like a rocket, closing the distance before swinging his hammer. It… hit Rider right in his crotch… most likely shattering what was down there as it made a face of pure pain and torture from the impact, as well as being slammed into its mount.
"BLASTED TREE!" He called as lightning began to spark up into a massive tree, zapping both the servant and its Noble Phantasm.
"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!" Deion roared out as he pushed it towards the ground. With a thunderous thud, he plowed the servant into the ground. The smoke took a bit to clear, but Deion climbed out of the hole, holding the Rider class card.
"I… Did… It…" He said falling over, undoing his transformation…
XPAGEBREAKX
"Deion… Deion… you ok buddy?" The young boy heard Caules' voice ask as he finally came too. They were back in the normal world once more, Caules held up the card.
"You did much better than me the first time I faced a Servant," Caules admitted.
"Then again, Emerald wasn't as helpful there as she was with you here." He jabbed at the Mystic Code as she floated nearby. Caules was also carrying Deion on his back, which made the boy have a flashback of his brother doing the same after he got in a fight. Deion lightly blushed a bit at the very happy memory, making Caules blink.
"You ok?" He asked.
"I'm fine… I can walk on my own now." He said as he smiled. Caules nodded and let Deion off.
"I healed your injuries for you as well, so don't worry about them." He added as Deion did notice the cut on his shoulder was gone.
"You did wonderful out there, you were a true superhero out there, also I do like 'Mint Laser' a lot."
"I'm never using that again!" Deion snapped back to Emerald, who pouted.
"But it was so cute!" She whined a bit. Both Caules and Deion elected to ignore her for a bit as she went on about how cool it was with Deion's actions.
"But she's right, you did amazing out there for your first battle… But there are going to be more like that, and they are only going to get harder from here on out. I want to be sure… And this will be the last time I ask you; Are you sure you want to do this?" Caules asked him.
Deion took a moment to really think about it. The rush of the fight seemed to spark something inside him that he's never felt before and made him feel complete for some reason. Cons being what he had to fight in, the green outfit just looked too heavy and formal for him to really like. As well as the whole putting his life on the line each time. There is one tipping factor here…
"Caules… I'll do this because… You shouldn't have to do this alone. Even if your backup is coming, I'm already here, and I want to help you." Deion said.
"Please, I have already faced one servant… I can't let you face 13 more if you don't have Emerald." He said. Caules was taken aback at this level of… something. Concern, care, and even companionship. Deion seemed very lonely, and Caules was here, telling things to him straight. At the same time, Deion wasn't treating Caules like he was a burden or anything. Caules let out a sigh.
"Well, from here on out, we're going have to figure out what to tell your parents when we leave for the next state." He said with a small smile on his face.
"Umm, sorry to interrupt this moment, but I picked up a Mirror World jump at the other location here in California. The one on the other side of the mountain." Emerald said.
"Another jump? They're here early and didn't bother to come to meet up with us… They don't have any idea what the next card is, and they just go for it? Figures, it is Tohsaka and Edelfelt after all." Caules said.
"They might need a hand; do you think you handle one more fight tonight?" He asked turning to Deion.
"I can try. I am a bit tired, but if these girls are our allies, I want to make a good first impression. They might not even need our help after all, but better safe than sorry." Deion reasoned.
"Good choice, let's hurry up and reach them," Caules informed them as they turned towards where the other jump happened…
XPAGEBREAKX
"Alright now be careful, we don't know much about this servant, so we can only assume that it isn't going to go down easily," Rin said as the five of them have just jumped into the Mirror World. Illya and Miyu had also already transformed while Kuro was already in her normal outfit of her Archer card.
"There is something about the air here…" Kuro noted as she looked around. It was rather foggy there, but the fog was low to the ground.
"Yeah, it really feels like a horror film here. Why is it different from all the rest we've been to so far?" Illya question.
"Maybe it's the servant's Noble Phantasm?" Miyu supplied.
"Let's not worry about fog too much," Luvia suggested before she moved forward.
"Let's see if we can-." She cut herself off and intuitively dodged something, which looked like a long spike formed up where she was standing.
"It's here." She called to the others as they all got ready. Luvia and Rin both pulled out jewels before tossing them creating a blast of fire. The fog was lifted because of the heat and a figure came into view.
"What… In the world… Is that!?" Ruby asked.
"It just looks ugly." She said as Rin and Luvia both when wide-eyed.
"Whatever you do, don't let that thing bite you!" Rin called.
"Bite us?" Miyu asked.
"If they're saying that, it could be-." Sapphire was starting to say before Illya, and Kuro cut her off at the same time.
"A Vampire!" They both said.
"I didn't know vampires could become heroic spirits!" Luvia was just as surprised.
"But this is one for sure." Their talking has allowed it time to summon another one of its spikes, shooting up once more, though they were all able to dodge it. Kuro was the first to take the offensive, firing arrows at it as she didn't want to get close to it.
"Shoot!" Miyu called as Sapphire blasted out a beam of mana at the servant.
"Scattershot, Fire!" Illya called as the two of them also kept their distance.
"Luvia, we need to set a trap to contain it first."
"For once, I can agree with you." Rin and Luvia went to work, running around as the girls kept the pressure on it to keep it at bay. Massive rows of spikes began to erupt from the ground as everyone dodged them. It hissed at them as they were seemingly beating it back.
"Good work, we're almost done," Rin called as the vampire lunged at her, only for an arrow from Kuro saving her.
"I owe you one!"
"Yeah, just don't get hurt yourself." They called to each other. The vampire only went down for a moment before it was back up and running.
"You got to be kidding me! I got it right in the head!" Kuro said as she began to fires. It then broke off one of its spikes and spun it, blocking the arrow this time. Illya let out a gasp.
"You guys, I think this card is a Lancer." She called.
"Good to know it's class. Do we have any Noble Phantasms that can take down a vampire?" Kuro asked.
"Holy weapons might work. Saber's sword would work best since it's the Holy Sword Excalibur." Miyu said.
"But since Bazett has that card, it's not going to happen. And I don't think the one Kuro can replicate will work." Sapphire injected as it was true, with that being their only chance, they were sitting ducks.
"Our circle is ready. We might be able to make a run for it and retreat once we trap it." Rin said before the magic circles began to light up, Luvia was pouring mana into it, as was Miyu.
'We could install a class card, but I don't think Miyu has said anything about it yet.' Kuro thought as she thought more heroic spirits might even out the fight a bit.
"Kuro!" She lost focus for one moment and watched as everything was going to hell in a handbasket around them. The spell broke down and the monster was heading right for her, Miyu and Illya were able to pull her out the way in time as its claws slashed a building, which could have been her.
"Thanks, guys." She said as all three of them were on the ground.
"I don't think you should thank us just yet." Illya looked right at it, it was too close for any of them to dodge.
"GET OUT OF THERE!" The fearful scream of Rin and Luvia were heard as they were running as fast as they could, even with magecraft enforcement of their legs but they felt they couldn't do anything. Illya, Miyu, and Kuro got ready for the fight, but they weren't sure what to expect. It reached out for them.
"SISTERS!" A new voice shouted before a blur of mint green came into view.
"BACK…. OFF!" A young male voice said as the vampire servant was launched back into a fence, flying past Luvia and Rin, who looked bewildered at what just happened.
"Wh-…what just… did…" Rin's eyes, as well as Luvia's eyes, looked at what stood in front of the girls, as the trio looked up at what just saved them. Standing in front of them in a fighting stance was a boy, clearly American, African American to be precise, about Illya, Miyu, and Kuro's age. He was dressed similar, sort of like a boy version of the types of outfits Illya and Miyu had… and moreover, he too had a Kaleidostick Mystic Code in his hand. One hand was still outstretched as if he punched something. It dawned on them that he just punched the vampire to get it away from them.
"Good, we made it just in time." Another male voice said behind them.
"…Caules?" Rin said, looking from the boy standing in front of Illya, Miyu, and Kuro, then to the other male figure, their classmate, the person they were they were sent to back up.
"What's going on… and who is he?" Luvia questioned.
"It's a long story… Like the one you two have." He said gesturing to the girls. Caules had a big shit-eating grin as not only did it seem that both of them also lost their Mystic Codes as well to children, but something else happened that a third little girl was brought in. Boy, he couldn't wait to hear this story. Back with the young ones, the girls all looked at the boy who clearly just punched a vampire to save them.
"You…saved us…" Miyu stammered out as she was in disbelief at what she was seeing.
"Oh Emerald, it is you!" Ruby excitedly said.
"I'm glad to see you're well, little sister," Sapphire said in her normal tone.
"I know, it's been so long, let me guess, Rin and Luvia were fighting so much that you both left them for these cuties?" Emerald said as the boy holding her finally relaxed his stance, still keeping an eye on their enemy in front of them.
"Yes well, it's a long story, and who is this handsome young boy you have with you?" Ruby teased knowing her younger sister's preference.
"Oh him? This is the boy I'm going to make a hero, a Magical Boy. This is Deion. I guess he'll be joining the team we have here." Emerald said as the named Deion turned to face the girls.
"You're a… Magical Boy!?" Illya asked as she never realized that there were such things.
"I'm just glad he's on our side," Kuro said as she looked at him.
'Yummy mint chocolate…' She thought as she wondered what his mana was like. She has never kissed a boy besides Shirou. Miyu on the hand felt something about him that was sort of... familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on it. The dust from where the servant landed cleared as it was back on its feet. Caules took one look at it.
"Unless you guys have some holy weapons on you, we don't have anything that could properly deal with this. Deion, we're going to have to buy time so we can retreat." Caules said as he got ready. Deion was still tired from his last battle which only happened about a half-hour ago by this point, but he felt something inside him telling him he can do this.
"Hey, don't count us out, we're not helpless," Kuro said as she stood up.
"Someone is going have to create the pathway big enough for all of us to escape."
"I'll do it." Miyu voiced as she stood up as well.
"You guys just keep that thing at bay."
"We're counting on you Miyu," Illya added as she put her hand on Deion's shoulder, causing the magical boy to turn around, a small blush on his cheeks as he realized what he just did; save a bunch of cute girls from a monster.
"Let's work together on this Deion, Okay?" Illya asked him as he smiled back at her.
"This fight isn't over yet!" He declared as he looked at them.
"I got your backs!" He told them with a smile. Illya smiled right back him as they all looked towards the hulking vampire lancer. Their escape plan… now in action…

AN: Alright everyone, faster than lightning, we have chapter two done and ready for you. It might not be by the time you read this, but this chapter was finished 24 hours after I posted the first chapter. Another speed record to me. This idea is just holding my attention! Anyways anyone, Chapter 2 and we just watched Deion have his first fight with a Rider servant. If you have seen Fate/Apocrypha, then you know who Rider of Black is, Astolfo, everyone's favorite trap! I have fun plans for when his card is installed. His appearance here as a corrupted heroic Spirit is based off his saber class look from Fate/Grand Order. Lancer is also of the Black faction, Vlad III. I decided that his corrupted form is best left to his him pretty much being his Noble Phantasm "The Legend of Dracula" to give him a monstrous look. He is also a Vampire so not only is he a class card, but a bloodsucker as well that can only be put down by the sun and holy/blessed weapons, which none of them have. We also see Deion finally meet the Prisma girls, though, in this situation, it's not a big meeting since they are dealing with a threat at the moment. The next chapter thought will have them talk and share information, as well as the girls teaching Deion some tricks.
Rating and Pairings: As normal, for stories that are long, I rate them M for a reason where I have the room for scene and language, I feel is right. Some chapters will seem T rated, some would very much have an M rating, so M overall is a good way to keep track of it. As for the Pairing, I decided on yes having Deion end up with all three girls. How will that work out, time will tell.
