In his office in the headquarters for the Mages' Association, The Clocktower in London, Lord El Melloi II aka Waver Velvet, read the last report from both his two teams tasked with collecting the Class Cards: Rin Tohsaka and Luvia Edelfelt in Japan, both still there because of the havoc they caused thought they were relocated for the time being.
The other was from Caules Yggdmillennia, a mage in reform who was tasked with collecting the newer cards that have been discovered in the United States.
"Sir?" A voice from his door called as the hooded girl, Gray, popped her head in.
"I haven't received Caules' report yet, do you think something happened?" She asked.
"The enemy he might be facing currently maybe too strong for him. Tohsaka and Edelfelt have been tasked with aiding him, therefore, it should only be a matter of time before they get to him." He reasoned.
"Oh… Sir… Can I ask you something…? Is there a reason almost everyone else in the Clock tower seems to… hate Caules?" Gray asked. She was never particularly close with him, but she did not hate for any reason, in fact when she does work with him, she does get along well with him. Waver let out a sigh before taking out a cigar, lighting it before speaking.
"There are two reasons why people seem to treat him like dirt; One being that in his family, he was born with some of worst magical circuits s a child could be born with. His sister, on the other hand, was prime for become a first-rate mage before she gave it up." He took a drag of his cigar, seeing the look on her face, the question 'and?' etched on it. Releasing a puff of smoke, he spoke once more.
"Reason two…" He looked right into Gray's eyes.
"…Is because he once aided in on a scheme that would have brought the downfall of this Association…"

The group had their work cut out for them. Miyu went right to work getting the jump back to the normal world ready as Deion zoomed forward, aided by a blast from Illya and Kuro, as well as a rain of jewels from both Rin and Luvia. Caules acted as Miyu's last line of defense, knowing that he only buy her so much time. Deion was able to land another blow on the vampire, knocking it back only for it to get hit with the combined attacks from the girls right after.
"Include; Berserker!" Deion called giving the girls their first look at one of the new cards as Emerald was transformed once more into a hammer and Deion bashed it on the side of the vampire's head.
"Not done yet!" He was a bit more aggressive here than his fight with Rider.
"Deion, you're pushing yourself too much! Back off a bit and let the others help you." Emerald informed him. He snapped a bit as he nodded, dropping back, also remembering he was only buying time. Thought, Emerald thought of a reason why he might have been so forward. Back with Illya, she and Kuro watched as the new boy seemed to have learned the ropes quickly as they fired at the vampire.
"That should be enough. Miyu, how is the jump?"
"It's done, hurry up and get back here!"
"Deion! Come back, it's time to make the jump!" The three girls working well together as they have been. Deion nodded as when he did, another spell activated, this one was placed by Luvia before, and Rin added to it, it created chains of mana to hold the vampire back.
"Nice work beating it back kid!" Rin called to him as they ran towards the jump. Once they gathered around Miyu, the chains broke, freeing the beast.
"Jump now!" Caules called as one moment, they were about to become chow for the vampire, next, all of them were back where they started where they jumped from the real world: next to a ranch.
"Phew, that was close," Rin said.
"Indeed, we were caught off guard with what it was, so you both have our gratitude Caules," Luvia said. Deion, on the other hand, was busy just trying to figure out Kuro, Miyu, and Illya. Something about them was off to him.
"Thanks for saving us." Illya was the first to extend the hand to him.
"Yes, thank you very much," Miyu added with a small bow to him.
"Yeah, we would be vampire minions if you didn't show up." Kuro grinned as she patted his shoulder, but she was planning to give him a bit more than that in a bit.
"It's no prob…lem…" He began to say before he slowly fainted.
"Aha! He fainted!" Illya called as he fell forward, undoing his transformation back into normal clothes. Emerald shook her head looking at him.
"That's what he gets for pushing himself the way he did." She said.
"Pushing himself?" Miyu asked the Mystic Code.
"He battled one of the Rider Cards before coming to save all of you. He was already out of it. But he got a second wind for a bit." She explained. The others undid their own transformations.
"I should get him home before morning," Caules said.
"We'll have to talk about… all of this later." He told Rin and Luvia, who both nodded, knowing he was just as curious about Rin and Luvia's situations as they were about his own. Illya took one look at the sleeping boy as she felt something towards him. They all knew something about this boy was different, and not just because he's a Magical boy.
"Sleep well." She said with a smile.
"Illya, come on!" Rin called as the group had already begun going their separate ways for now. The time for explanation had to wait for morning.
XPAGEBREAKX
It wasn't until 12:30 in the afternoon did Deion wake up once more.
"I'm in my room?" He asked as the last thing he remembers was…
"Oh… right… last night." He said to himself. He sat up and looked around. He was thinking that everything was a dream last night. He could have just slipped and hit his head imagined all that.
"Good morning Deion!"
"Good morning Emerald." He said without thinking. It was almost a solid minute before he realized last night wasn't a dream.
"…It all really did happen, did it?"
"Yep, everything did happen. Caules left you this note after he put you to bed." He looked to where she pointed at, seeing it. He walked over to it, pulling it up and reading it.
Deion
You must have a lot more questions after everything you saw last night. Believe me, I have some of the same ones. But, for now, it seems those girls might be very experienced with the powers of the Kaleidoscope. It would be good for you to spend some time with them. Once Luvia, Rin, and I are ready, we'll come clean about everything we have to each other and you four. You should be reading this around Noon, so the girls should be over to 'play' soon. Have fun.
-Caules
Deion finished reading the note and thought for a moment before looking down. He was still dressed, so he needed new clothes. He quickly showered and got dressed and was rushing to beat his mother to the door. He really doesn't want his mom to open the door to three girls coming to meet him.
"DEION!" Too late. His mother's excited voice rang up the stairs. He seemed to have missed the sound of the doorbell in his haste.
"Oh, sounds like your mother is very excited for some reason. But what mom wouldn't be when a bunch of cute girls are asking for her son?" Emerald asked.
"Shut up will you." He snapped at her before the Kaleidoscope hid in his shirt around his next. Swallowing hard, Deion walked down the stairs.
"Yes, mom?" He asked.
"There are 3 girls here saying you met them the other day and promised to show them around!" His mom said as she already had Illya, Kuro, and Miyu in the living room, having a few snacks.
"Yeah… This is…" Crap, Deion forgot one thing… He didn't get their names last night!
"Oh don't worry I know their names! The girl with the pretty white hair is Illyasviel, haven't heard another German name in a long time." His mom said as she pointed to Illya, who was wearing a jean-skirt and pink top with stockings on.
"Just Illya will do ma'am, my name is a mouthful," Illya spoke up as Deion's mother smiled.
"So polite. And this cutie over here is Miyu right, am I saying it right?" Deion wanted to die as Miyu, dressed in a blouse and jeans, nodded.
"That is correct. Thank you for the snacks." She said, keeping the same expression on her face, but she was grateful, more so seeing that Deion was ok.
"And last is Illya's sister Chloe. I really love her light pink hair, it just pops!" His mom assumed it was dyed and that Chloe might have another dad or mom since she was very dark compared to her 'sister' Said girl was wearing sort of an inverse of Illya; A mini-skirt with a tank-top and jean-jacket to complete the outfit.
"Umm… Yeah, that's their names, you got it right!" He sighed as they all knew he didn't know their name, so his mom just introduced them to him.
"Yeah, they are here from Japan visiting a cousin of Illya's that lives near and they are going to be here for a while, maybe all summer. I said since they are here, I can show them around since I meet them at the park the other day." He quickly made up a lie. Luckily, they haven't put that much work into it.
"We should get going, my 'cousin' also wants him to come over for dinner later if that's ok with you," Illya said as his mom was over the moon.
"It's perfectly fine with me. He needs to get out of the house more so keep him out as late as you want!" She said as the kids in the room sort of deadpanned a bit at how she is.
"Alright, we're going to go now, mom," Deion said.
"Have fun!" She said as the girls finished their snacks.
"Thank you for the food!" All three of them said as this made his mom even giddier inside.
"It's no problems darlings! Come back at any time and keep my little boy company!" She said. Deion quickly put his shoes on and ushered the girls out of his house.
"Wow, that woman sure gets ideas fast." They all heard Rudy say as soon as Deion closed the front door.
"She must have thought one of them was his girlfriend or something," Emerald added.
"I mean if I were a mom and 3 cute girls come asking for my son, I'll at least assume that first."
"You two are hopeless," Sapphire said about her sisters. Thought they were ignored by the 4 magical pre-teens.
"Your mom seems really nice. I didn't know she knew German." Illya said.
"She lived there when she was young. She knows it where she hears it… By the way, aren't you 3 Japanese? I didn't know you knew English this well." He said.
"What do you mean? Aren't you speaking Japanese?" Kuro asked him.
"It's us there. Since you're connected to us, you can understand any language as if it was your own. So they hear you speaking perfect Japanese, while you hear them speaking perfect English, and it's the same to everyone around. They will hear you speak their language as you will hear them speak your own." Emerald explained to them since this was also the first time they knew of this function on their wands.
"I didn't know you can do that Sapphire," Miyu spoke up.
"Since we were in Japan, there wasn't much need for this function, but now that we're in America, you'll be hearing English, Spanish, and other languages as well," Sapphire said.
"It really helps with recovering the cards if you can all understand each other." Ruby pointed out. It was quite for a moment before Kuro spoke up.
"Well, I'll get to point; What's your story kid?" She asked him. The four of them had started to walk around as Deion 'showed' them around, mostly to find a better place to talk.
"Well… I'm just… well…." He stammered a bit.
"Emerald didn't like being with Caules, and she crashed into my bathroom window." He said as Illya had flashbacks of when she met Ruby for the first time.
"It seems that tactic runs in the family." She said with a glare to her partner, who shuddered a bit.
"I then fought the Rider card before I met you 3 and those 2 older girls last night." He explained.
"So you only had your powers for last 12 or so hours?" Miyu asked him as Deion nodded.
"I'm still pretty new at this. Caules has been helping me understand what I'm doing." He said as both Illya and Miyu had flashbacks to Rin and Luvia being just as helpful, but Illya didn't know how to include the cards from Rin, and Miyu had trouble flying. Deion got both of those down in less time than both of them.
"Oh so when it comes being magical people, we're your Sempai?" Illya grinned.
"Magical People?" Miyu asked.
"Well we can't say magical girl since he's a boy, and we can't say magical boy because we're girls." She reasoned. Kuro was listening to all of this before she grinned.
"Alright, I waited long enough." She said before stepping closer to Deion.
"Hey, what is she-Mu!" He was cut off, to Illya's horror and not to Miyu's surprise, by a kiss from Kuro. She kissed him rather passionately and even pulled him in close, holding him as their tongues began to dance around each other. Deion's eyes were extremely wide as this girl had just taken his first kiss, out of the blue!
"Mmm! Mmmm!" He was too surprised, but suddenly he began kissing back, which caught Kuro off as well since normally her victims tend to be too shocked to do much back. After a few moments, they pulled apart, panting a bit as Deion felt slightly weaker.
"What… why…" He was confused, very confused about what just happened.
"KURO I JUST GAVE YOU SOME BEFORE WE CAME OVER HERE! WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA DOING IT TO HIM!?" Illya shouted, whacking Kuro on the head with Ruby.
"HEY WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA!? I WAS STILL LOW!"
"LOW MY ASS! YOU DIDN'T NEED TO SURPRISE HIM WITH THAT STUFF!"
"WELL, I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF!"
"YOU DO THAT TO EVERYONE AND NOW YOU'RE DOING IT TO HIM!" The two sisters shouted at each other.
"Umm Illya, Kuro?" Miyu said with worry on her face. After Kuro broke the kiss, Deion fell over on the ground.
"He's out cold again!" Miyu said in a panic as the two sisters thought kept fighting. Deion was a bit dazed now as he now thinks about just having his first kiss taken like that. Kuro the first kiss thief strikes again…
XPAGEBREAKX
"I'm assuming he knows nothing about your past, right Caules?" Rin asked as while she didn't mistrust him, she didn't have a lot of reason to trust him. After all, he is the head of that family now. Luvia had a similar feeling towards him.
"Like I said last night, I'm grateful for you both coming to our aid, but it's mostly directed at that boy-."
"Deion, his name is Deion," Caules said as he wanted to make sure they got it right
"And don't lecture me about that. You both brought young girls into this."
"You have a lot of nerve. You also roped a child into this mess so take responsibility." Rin said as she crossed her arms.
"I can say the same to you both. I'm pretty sure not a single report said anything about 3 girls had been aiding you both in collecting the class cards, nor did you make seem like you wanted that fact to be known." He said as both of them glared at him from a moment. He caught them in a trap. If they were to say anything about him, he can do the same with them, and the last thing either of them is to lose their waiting apprenticeship.
"Whatever the reason, fate wanted Deion to have Emerald, and I was the one who was destined to bring her to him and help him." He said.
"But do you plan on telling him anything about yourself. If you're putting so much trust in him, then you need to give him something he can trust you with." This wasn't just for Deion since they are all will be working together, he needed to prove to all of them he can be trusted, and what better way than to reveal with past.
"Man down!" The door was almost kicked open as Illya, Kuro, and Miyu all walked in carrying Deion, who was still out cold from his make-out session.
"What happened?" Caules asked them. Miyu and Illya both blushed.
"Well… you see… ummm…."
"He got Kuro'ed?" Both Rin and Luvia asked. As the minx like girl winked.
"I didn't know it was bad to have a cute girl give him his first kiss." She said with a flip of her hair.
"Christ Kuro, you just got some from Illya," Rin said.
"I was curious if he tasted like mint chocolate." She said.
"I like her already," Emerald said floating by.
"Of course, you would." Caules shot a death glare at the Mystic Code. He walked over to Deion, placing a had on him and with a spark, Deion finally came too.
"Where am I!?" He asked, looking up to see Caules.
"You're fine. It's just the hotel Luvia rented out." He said as it didn't hit Deion what he said.
"But great timing girls, Caules has something he should tell of you. It's to help us trust each other a bit more. Deion, this is just as important for you to hear too honey." Luvia said as she walked over to help him up, giving the boy an eyeful of her ample chest, most likely a sort of reward for his heroism last night. He was giving a quick wink from the blonde before he turned his attention to Caules.
"What is it you need to tell us?" He asked his 'master' who looked down at the floor for a bit.
"I haven't been honest with you… Last night, when you asked me why I was collecting the cards… While as I said, I was ordered to do it, while that's correct, and as I said, I could get off their watch list… I'm on such a list… Because… I am the head of the family… that tried to reinstate the Holy Grail War." He said firmly. This made the girls' faces twist a bit.
"And… I was going to be a master in that war." He began to explain. "5 years ago, the Yggdmillennia family tried to break from the Mages' Association. Their goal was to recreate a new Holy Grail War after the Einzbern one stopped suddenly years before. I wasn't much older than any of you when it all happened. I was swept up in family pride… My sister was smart, she gave up being a mage before all that. I was a fool for not joining her. I watched my family get… massacred by 2 men. I was spared because they needed someone to put on trial. I was only a kid…"
It made sense now, why he was upset with Deion last night while they were talking. The part that interested the girls the most was the part about his family almost restarting the holy grail war. The question was what did they use for the Holy Grail?
"Umm… Mr. Caules?" Illya asked.
"Do you happen to know the names of the men who stopped your family?" She asked.
"I never found out. Mage killers, I assume. Hired by the Clocktower." He figured as Illya thought of something her mother said, making both her and Kuro swallow hard, knowing what their father had done.
"But I don't want revenge on them… in fact, they did me a favor by making me see just how horribly wrong I was. But I still walk on eggshells to this day." He said. Rin and Luvia knew the story but didn't know how he felt about everything. Even now, it felt as if he was holding back more to the story. Deion sat there as he thought about what Caules said last night
Flashback…
"…And what do you know about making such a choice that could impact your life while you're so young?..."
Flashback end…
It made a lot more sense now, he made a mistake when he young, he was worried about the outcome for Deion.
"Caules…" He spoke out before a hand was moved up.
"I'll talk more about it… when I'm ready." He said as just talking about it now brought up feelings he hasn't felt in a long time.
"Excuse me," Caules said before got up, walking out the room, leaving everyone there in a bit of shock.
"Well… That was awkward." Ruby finally spoke up.
"Indeed." Both Sapphire and Emerald added. Deion was quiet for a moment more before he spoke up, his attention directed at both Luvia and Rin.
"Hey… Miss Rin, Miss Luvia? Did you know any of that?" He asked both older girls.
"We knew the story… but never from his point of view, for as long as we have known him." Rin said.
"We should at least fill you in on our story at least, we'll do the same for Caules when he comes back," Luvia said.
"I can start with that!" Ruby busted out, adding excitement back into the room.
"These two old hags were having another lover's quarrel with each other." She started as large tick marks grew on both Rin and Luvia.
"Old hags…"
"Lovers…Quarrel…" Both girls gained a dark aura around them before Ruby was grabbed, and they processed to beat the Mystic Code.
"I'll pick up where she left off," Sapphire interjected as she began to explain what happened, from her and Ruby finding and meeting Illya and Miyu, Illya wanting to omit being found in the bathroom, which Deion noted that's what happened to him. Than to collecting the class cards, omitting the part about Illya installing the Archer card as she saw the look on Miyu's face. To Kuro coming to be by the power of the Archer card and being another half of Illya, to what happened when getting the 8th card not too long ago, in fact, at this point, it's only been a week since they had that battle.
"That's… a lot to take in… and a lot more than my story." Deion smiled at them.
"You're all amazing. I never face more than a bully. You guys are killing powerful spirits of heroes!" He said.
"Hey, don't sell yourself short, you not only took down a hero yourself but also came right to help us without hesitation," Illya said, smiling at him.
"Come on, we can at least help you get some move down. Since we're the Sempai here, we have a lot to teach you, like how to use the class cards, and other things Emerald can do." She explained.
"Teach me then, Sempai!" He said as they laughed. Hanging back and watching them, Kuro and Miyu seemed happy seeing Deion was opening up. But Kuro had something on her mind something else.
"Something bothering you?" Miyu asked.
"I'm just thinking… He has some really good mana for someone who isn't even of a mage family… It's like after you and Illya… He feels just right and gives me more… mana." Kuro said as she watched Miyu blush.
"Well, you did really seem into it a lot more than what I thought you would be." She said a bit shakily. Kuro smirked.
"What? You thought it was only Shirou I would go out for when it came to boys?" Kuro asked.
"What!? No, it's just… we just met him, and we know you sometimes like to do… your thing… but you were really into it." Miyu pointed out.
"I… was also noticing something like I said, he felt just right… What I felt was… His mana… was a lot like our own…"
XPAGEBREAKX
After freeing Ruby from the clutches of Rin and Luvia and seeing that Caules wasn't going to be returning for a while, Deion and the girls went outside to do, as they say, practice. They all transformed as Deion got a better look at their outfits, and they got a better look at his.
"You guys look great!" He said to them.
"It's still really embarrassing, but I manage," Illya said as Miyu shrugged a bit.
"Thank you for the compliment." She said as she kept her same expression, but clearly, she seemed happy with it.
"Oh, you like what you-." Kuro started before Illya rushed over to cover her mouth.
"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!" She said as it took him a moment to remember that they were pretty much like twins. "Don't we need to worry about people seeing us?" He asked.
"Don't worry about that, Luvia made sure to surround the whole hotel with a barrier that makes people on the outside think it's just under renovations and not to enter, and they see that looks that way. I can't remember what she called this type of magic thought." Miyu explains.
"You mean like at your mansion at home?" Illya asked.
"Yeah, like that." She explained as it finally hit Deion how rich Luvia was.
"Wait, she had to put something up to hide the whole hotel? But this is one of the biggest and most expensive places in the whole state!" He exclaimed as he looked around, noting that they were the only one, besides strange butler, there.
"It's just how rich Luvia is." Kuro pointed out.
"I need a moment," Deion said as he was trying to process magic, now he had to process the fact there was a person this rich.
"I can understand, this is a bit of a shock to me too. Still, I'm glad you're on our side." Illya said as she knew just what he was going through, though she was a bit surprised magic and magecraft wasn't something he freaked out about. Deion in this fact was always interested in magic, from the tricks his brother taught him, to shows, to just magic all around. So the fact it truly does exist was a dream come true.
"I'm glad I'm here too, Illya," Deion said, more so about just being around magic, but it sounded a bit more personal than he wanted, which Illya blushed while Kuro laughed a bit at her sister's reaction.
"Ha! You got all red in the face, get your mind out the gutter!"
"Don't you start!" They began to argue before Miyu spoke up, ignoring or maybe not understanding some of the social cues that were going on around her.
"We're supposed to be training Deion you know." She said.
"We can start with defensive moves before we move into the offensive. We can use this chance also to train for when we face down vampire lancer again." She said, tagging the monster as such for now.
"We already have a weapon coming that could deal with it, but we still need a plan on how to make sure we're able to use that weapon." She was, of course, talking about a class card for the weapon. Saber was the one she was thinking of.
"I got it." He said.
"Kuro, you mind being the vampire since your powers of a heroic spirit and not from something like Sapphire, Ruby, and Emerald?" She asked the tan girl.
"Sure thing, leave it all to me." She said before messing up her hair a bit and pulling the red coat of her outfit up.
"I want to suck your mana~!" She said giving a really bad impression.
"…" All three of the others looked at her as she growled.
"Shows what you three know about Vampires!" She said before they laughed a bit. First Deion was shown how to create shields properly, and make more than one show up, and making multiple ones stack up on a target. After that, Illya showed him how to make star chains like she did, thought using Kuro did make it feel weird… more so with Ruby and Emerald's… commentary.
"Oh, you really know how to tie a girl down Deion."
"Indeed, he's going to be a ladies' man in no time with skills like that." The two sisters said, earning them a slap from their owners.
"STOP MAKING IT SOUND WEIRD!" Both Deion and Illya said as Miyu and Sapphire seem to facepalm.
"Make it tighter next time, will you or I'll escape too easily!" Kuro said walking by them. Illya and Miyu both facepalmed at that as well.
"This is going to be a long day…"
XPAGEBREAKX
The offensive spells were much easier for Deion to get down, but he did show them his preferred fighting style of using his fist, as he has demonstrated before, but they were very useful in case of an emergency move, including the blade-like slash Illya taught him. Miyu debated on something else she was thinking about letting him know about, in fact, she was sure only herself, Kuro, and Illya knew about; Installing the class cards.
'Should we… teach him about it.' She thought.
"Hey, Deion." She decided to at least give him the chance to decide on his own.
"Yeah, what's up Miyu?" Deion asked.
"I have something I should let you know about the class cards." She said. Before she could ask if he wants to hear it, Luvia and Rin burst out of the main building.
"She's here." Was all Rin said. The girls knew right away who she was referring to.
"Who is-?"
"Bazett… She's from the Holy Church. We only have 4 of the class cards." Luvia explained to her.
"Let me guess, Bazett has the other three?" Came the voice of Caules, finally back from his walk.
"Caules…" Deion said as he saw a hand go up.
"Later. What's this all of about?" He asked.
"I would ask the same thing." Behind them all, Bazett strolled in, carrying her case as normal.
"I should thank you for flying me out to sunny California, but I know there is a reason you did so." She said to Luvia.
"Yes, there is. We need the Saber-class card. We face a heroic spirit that can't be killed by normal means, and the only weapon we can think of to combat this spirit is the Holy Sword Excalibur, Saber's Noble Phantasm." Luvia explained.
"I'm ready to not only forgive your debt to me but as well as pay you for it." She said. Bazett's face twisted as she wasn't informed on the current situation.
"There are more class cards? I thought the 8th one was the last?"
"Well after the began fighting the 8th card, 16 more cards were discovered here in the United States. Caules here was first, sent to get them, but as we first learned last night, it on another scale to 7 we already have." Bazett looked around, seeing the two new faces.
"I see, it happened to you as well." She said looking to Deion, then to Caules.
"I have the card you requested, but if you agree to my terms, I will give you Lancer and Rider as well." She said. Rin stiffens a bit.
"And are these terms?"
"I want in. I won't be around you lot, but I'll act as a scout, scoping out each card. I assume one of you knows the location?"
"Yeah, I do," Caules spoke up.
"Good. I also request that this truce extends back to the matter of Mt. Enzo back in Fuyuki. We shall discuss that later."
'Fuyuki?' Deion thought as he doesn't know many Japanese cities besides Tokyo.
"It's where we're from," Illya whispered to Deion seeing the confusion on his face. Bazett then turned to Illya, pulling out the 3 cards, handing them to her.
"I trust you with them the most." She said.
"I'll be there with you to see this new card myself." She said.
"So far of the new ones, three have been recovered. 2 by Caules, 1 by Deion and Caules working together," Rin said.
"The heroic spirit we face is a vampire. If we're not careful, it's game over." She added. Deion swallowed a bit as he looked towards this team. Just yesterday he sitting on the sofa eating chips and watching T.V, now he was getting ready to battle a vampire.
"Deion-kun." He heard as he turned to Illya, who smiled at him with Miyu and Kuro by her side.
"We're counting on you." She said before he felt a hand pat his shoulder.
"And we'll be there support you, just do the same for us," Caules said. Both of them turned to the veteran team of card hunters, knowing the battle that was going to take place. Deion than held Emerald firmly in his hand as he flashed, transforming back into his mint green outfit.
"We're off to kill the vampire!" Deion declared, feeling weird about saying something like that.
"That's something I never thought I'll say." He added.
"Don't worry, I didn't think I would either… mostly because of the existence of Vampires are-."
"Miyu!" She blinked as both Illya and Kuro cut her off. Illya handed Miyu the card.
"You'll know what to do." She said to her friend. Miyu nodded, thinking about how she was going to explain what she needs to do… Mostly explain it to Deion…

A note was left in Lord El Melloi's office shortly after midnight. It was from only one person.
Sir
I'm going to America to check on Caules, Rin, and Luvia. Please forgive me. I'll bring back their most recent reports, but I'm a bit worried about them. I will bring you back something you'll like! ~
Gray
After reading the note, the older Waver just looked down at the picture of him when he was younger, seeing his rather large friend there, knowing that this was something he would. He took a drag of his cigar.
"…Foolish girl…"

AN: Chapter 3 and we learn a bit more about Caules and why he has the name Yggdmillennia in this timeline. As well as we are starting to form bonds between Deion and the girls. What these bonds will lead to will only be told as time goes on. We also see more of Waver aka Lord El Melloi II and Gray, opening up questions about what motivated them to send Caules of all people to gather these class cards. The next chapter will open up some more questions about Deion that are most likely lingering for the last 2 chapters.
Bazett's role: She'll be in the story more towards a later arc, but she'll pop up every now and then to report on the cards. Like I said, later arcs, which will dive into content of 3rei and Miyu heavy storyline, but, you will notice some key things along the way that she will discover.
Will: He and another character I want to introduce will appear either next chapter or chapter 5, depending on what I decide with the battle that will take up most of the next chapter.
Next arc: It will be coming up soon, it will have a new opening and ending theme for the arc. I'll name the arc once it starts. You'll know the start of the arc. This is just what I call the 'Introduction arc' or the 'Prisma arc'. I have 5 arcs in mind for the overall story.
Note: Hope everyone is doing well with Covid-19/Coronavirus going around. Stay safe, practice social distancing, wash your hands, and stay home, reading some good fanfiction!
