Few Centuries ago, Castle of Dun Scaith
Dun Scaith Castle, an impenetrable castle located at the coast of the Isle of Skye; the castle itself sits on the offshore rock which can only be accessed by a walled bridge and draw bridge due to the gap between the rock itself and the mainland. In the far-off future this castle will be reduce to ruins in the modern era, such thing is already foreseen by the master of the fortress due to her gift of prophecy and said master is currently standing on the castle walls staring at the horizon beyond the sea with an unreadable expression. She has a black veil over her long purple hair and a short cloak connected to her pauldrons, she is also wearing a pair of gauntlets and greaves, a feminine cuirass worn on her chest, and faulds on her waist over her skin-tight body suit that shows her curvaceous body. Her beauty is also divine that rivals any goddesses with a fair skin and eyes red as blood that make anyone's blood freeze when stared at. This beautiful warrior is Scathach, the queen of the Land of Shadows and the one and only God slayer.
"So everyone is gone now… The whole Celtic pantheon has cut-off their ties to the world and retired never to interfere in the affairs of the world, and still here I am… still living, never granted of eternal rest." Scathach muttered to herself, her tone was somber and filled with loneliness and longing.
"Then why not go and explore the world, blend-in and live a life in happiness?" A feminine voice suggested and the warrior queen turns to the source of the voice only to see a raven perched on the stone railing not far from her.
"What are you doing here, Morrigan?" Scathach asked the raven named Morrigan and said bird was wrapped in black light and the shape changes into a humanoid, a feminine silhouette.
The black light faded revealing a woman, she is strikingly beautiful but intimidating. She has the appearance of a young woman with long flowing dark hair and skin of pale complexion. Her clothing is black and very revealing, her golden eyes are emitting an eerie glow which is the source of her intimidating presence. This goddess is named Morrigan, the Celtic goddess that represents the circle of life and associated in both birth and death. The goddess is currently looking at the warrior queen with a smile but Scathach reciprocated it with an emotionless stare.
"It seems you're not fancy on meeting me. Perhaps you are still upset on what I did to Him." Morrigan said in a mock hurt tone.
"I had foreseen his untimely death through the gift of prophecy and I chose not to interfere in his fate. But it is really a shame that such warrior of great potential passed on before he realized the heights that he can reach, people like him are very rare." Scathach replied.
"You had this expectation to him that he can break your curse of immortality and kill you. Do you still desire to die until now?" Morrigan asked, gone with the joking tone.
"Of course, now that our pantheon has cut themselves to the world, I have no purpose here and find a way for me to rest eternally." Scathach said in finality.
"This is just a hunch of mine but I think fate still has something in store for you." The goddess said in a cryptic tone.
"What do you-" Before she can asked the question, her gift of prophecy suddenly activated and her vision changes. She saw different images in the future involving her; first is her finding a baby with white hair, second is finding a child holding a sword with a glowing crest on his chest, third is her training them to become a warrior, fourth is that her soon to be apprentices grown up into fine warriors assisting her to her duty and also saving the world, and lastly her apprentices beckoning her to go with them in an adventure in the vastness of the world. When she saw these images, she felt a small feeling of happiness and belongingness and her vision went to normal seeing Morrigan again smiling at her.
"Did you see something?" The goddess asked in an amused tone.
"From the looks of you, I think you knew the answer to your question."
"Then what will you do now?" Morrigan asked again. The warrior queen stared at the goddess and contemplated on what she would decide, moments later she smiled and said to the goddess.
"I'll live just a little longer, I will travel around and entertain myself until that time comes."
Morrigan smiled at her answer, she really thought that Scathach has been cooped up too long on her duty as a gate keeper. The warrior queen needs a life in the outside world, have relationships a fling or two, and even get married and have a family. So by the time the goddess saw what Scathach saw, she did not hesitate to give her a visit.
"Good. I just wanted to check on you before I blend-in to the mortal realm and watch things as go by. Good luck, Scathach." And with that,Morrigan turned into a raven and flew away. Scathach stares at the retreating form of the raven until she cannot see it anymore.
"Now then, let's have some fun while I wait for them shall we?"
(Cue Opening song: Period by Chemistry)
Present time, The Land of Shadows
The next day, after the incident with the nun named Asia Argento, Scathach brought her students to the Land of Shadows for their morning training. They also brought Asia along with them who is now carrying their breakfast, the poor nun was scared in the environment but Scathach assured her that both Sieg and Karna will protect her from anything including an army of denizens in the land. That statement earned her a deadpan stare from her students but she answered their stare with her own carrying her message that they should take responsibility on their own mess.
At present, they are in the middle of sparring which consist of Scathach against both of her students. Apparently, she wanted to see how much the two have grown and after that sounds of steel grinding against steel can be heard and sparks flying around as the intense showdown between the teacher and her students begun. Currently, Scathach is gracefully moving around the field as she parry the attacks came from Karna. The two is now engaged in their dance of spears, Karna spun his spear around for both defense and creating a distraction and opening for attacks while Scathach kept on parrying his attack by spinning her spear around but then Karna manage to make an opening and lunge at her with multiple stab. The offense was great but the warrior queen is dodging it with little movements and deflecting the stab that comes close to her.
Scathach disengages with Karna and jumped back as she conjured some kunais in between her fingers and throw them at Karna, meanwhile, Karna saw the attack and deflect them with his spear but what Karna didn't know is that the kunais were imbued with explosive runes, the weapons started glowing and Karna widen his eyes as he defends himself using his mana burst and then a big explosion occurs. Scathach gracefully landed but she sensed another danger coming as she saw Sieg running towards her at a very fast pace holding Balmung with both of his hands at one side. Sieg swings his sword creating a wide arc that can bisect anyone in two but Scathach narrowly dodges the attack by leaning back, she twirled her spear and started engaging with her other student in their own dance of blades. Sieg swings his sword in different angles to pressure his mentor and create an opening but it was a hard task with Scathach twirling and spinning her spear around her body and parrying his attacks at the same time.
Scathach saw an opening and thrusts her spear towards Sieg but it was only a bait that the young man planned as he ducks down dodging the thrusts as a result, and then he launches a vicious uppercut slash that manages to disarm his mentor. Sieg grabs the opportunity as he lunges towards Scathach but the warrior queen saw through him as she smirks, she opened her right hand as she summoned her sword and defend herself on Sieg's attack which made them in a state of deadlock. The sword Scathach uses is a single edge purple blade with a black hilt, the sword looks like a Japanese blade or Katana without a shin guard. She breaks their deadlock by redirecting Sieg's sword which made him out of balance then she executes a roundhouse kick, Sieg defended the attack with his right forearm but the force behind the kick made him back away.
The warrior queen did not let up as she charges towards Sieg and the two started a duel of swords. Their sword movements were so swift that an ordinary eye could not follow, their movements while they clash were like they are dancing. Sieg backs away from his mentor and unleashed a sword slash, seeing her students move, Scathach imbued her sword with her aura and the sword started glowing in purple light. She raises her sword and then cut Sieg's attack nullifying it as a result. Sieg made another move as he suddenly appeared behind her and then attacks but before he lands a hit, the warrior queen deflected the attack and quickly move towards her spear and retrieve it then Scathach enchant her spear with lightning rune and the spear was enveloped with lightning.
After her preparation, she made a hand gesture to Sieg to come at her and the young man oblige. Sieg has already enchant his Balmung with blue flames and the teacher and student once again clashed. After long minutes of defending, parrying and attacking; Scathach changed her tactics, she transformed her Gae Bolg into a three-segment staff and started twirling both ends of the weapon, one end for offense and the other for defense. Sieg is now having a hard time defending against the warrior queen until she got airborne and started revolving/ spinning mid-air while her weapon extends at full length. Sieg defended with the flat of his blade but the barrage was relentless and he was sent flying in the end.
After her engagement with Sieg, she was about to take a deep breath but she felt danger once more and heard a whistling sound in the air. She raised her three-segmented Gae Bolg and spun one end to deflect two energy arrows, when she looks at the attacker, it was Karna deploying his bow the Vijaya.
"Round two, Master." Karna said in a calm tone. Scathach grin at him and put one of her hands on her waist in a sensual manner that end up making a sexy pose in addition of her battle attire which is the purple tight body suit that shows her curves.
"~Well, what are you waiting for? Come and take me~" Scathach replied in a sultry and teasing manner which made Karna's one eye twitch, Asia in a full-blown blush and Sieg although his expression is stoic, there is a slight blush on his face.
No words have been exchanged as Karna started firing fiery arrows at his mentor, that using her three-segmented weapon which is still coated with lightning, to defend against the attacks and gracefully moving and spinning her weapon around while little by little shortening her distance to her student. Karna is about to fire a more powerful shot but Scathach saw this and held her weapon at one end and thrusted it forward, to the other three's surprise, the weapon seems to extend forward and approaching Karna in a supersonic speed. Karna manage to dodge but it scratches his left cheek, but the warrior queen is not done as she uses her segmented Gae Bolg like a whip which put Karna in the defensive as the white haired young man transformed his bow into dual blades.
The two engaged in a fierce dance as Karna skillfully using his swords in both defending and attacking, same can be said to Scathach, the three-segment weapon is a very versatile weapon, unlike swords and spears, it could go around enemies' defense making the enemy lose concentration. Whenever Karna saw an opening, it only ends up being his attack redirected and followed by a counter which Karna barely dodged. Karna did a butterfly kick which made the warrior queen disengage and back away, the young hero saw this and transformed his weapon back into a bow and started firing volleys of energy arrows. Meanwhile, Scathach kept dodging the rain of arrows until she jumps high up and conjured copies of Gae Bolg that are hovering behind her pointing at the opposition and ready to be launch. The warrior queen unleashed her spears and rain down on Karna.
Karna shot down the spears with terrifying precision, even while he is moving and dodging he gracefully fire his arrows. The hero of charity was so busy shooting down the spears and dodging that he barely notices streaks of red light shooting at him, he performs an evasive maneuver and shot back but his arrows were shot down by the opposition. When Karna look at his mentor, he noticed that Scathach is using another weapon, it is a bow made from the same material as her spear Gae Bolg. Both teacher and student started a shoot-out targeting each other, every shot Karna unleashed were accurately shot down by Scathach and several minutes later, Karna is now being overwhelmed by Scathach as one of her shot is about to hit the white haired teen. When he was about to get hit, a streak of whitish blue light came in between Karna and the arrow, the light dissipated showing Sieg and then the Dragon-Blooded knight swatted the incoming arrow.
"I have rested enough, let's take her on together." Sieg looked at his friend and presented his suggestion, which Karna approved and nodded.
"Then I'll take point. Attack her if you see an opening." Sieg said as he charges towards Scathach in an inhuman speed that he could only be seen as a streak of light.
Scathach saw Sieg coming at her and fired her arrows towards the young knight but Sieg deflected all the arrows as he moves in a fast pace. The warrior queen realizes that her current weapon is useless against his student so she switches her weapon again to her Gae Bolg. Sieg reaches the warrior queen and unleashed a preemptive strike but Scathach dodges his first attack then he tried another attack and his teacher defended with her spear. The two once again locked up in another dance with Scathach twirling her spear and Sieg swinging his sword in a fast pace. While Sieg and Scathach were locked onto each other, Karna positions himself as he fires his arrows to provide support to Sieg which made the warrior queen alternately transforming Gae Bolg into both Spear and three-segmented staff mode. While she was fiercely engaged in a showdown with Sieg, she is also keeping tabs on Karna's arrows while not letting her guard down. Scathach is being attacked in all angles but she also defended the attacks with precision, after deflecting Sieg's attack she will switch weapon and then swatting Karna's arrows, this only repeated in a few minutes until Karna changes his tactics and get up close and personal.
Karna launches himself towards the two and started swinging his dual blades to his mentor which only evaded by the said mentor. Alternately, Sieg and Karna attacked their mentor leaving Scathach limited on finding a window of opportunity to counter; their simultaneous attacks are well coordinated that it could be their greatest defense at the moment to cover each other. Minutes have pass and there is no sign of them getting exhausted in their dance of blades, Scathach still gracefully defending and parrying her students' aggressive attacks as she keeps transforming Gae Bolg to adapt in any situation. The warrior queen thought that it is time to up the ante as she makes a violent swing of her spear which made Sieg and Karna back away, with the use of her fingertip, she wrote two symbols in the air and with a grunt slam the tail end of her spear to the ground. Multiple circles with runes engraved on them appeared around Scathach and her students and the next thing happened is that towers of flames exploded in the battlefield, the two young men left with no other choice but to focus on dodging. The towers of flames dissipated but that was not the end as another batch of circles appeared and this time spikes of ice jutted out ready to impale the two warriors.
"O, Agni…" Karna uttered as torrents of flames envelops him like a barrier, melting the ice spikes.
"…Strasse Gehen…" Sieg responded with his own magic as he palms the ground which made an enormous shockwaves followed by lightning crawling on the ground destroying the spikes.
While the two were too focused on the magic that they have unleashed, Scathach made her move and suddenly appeared before Sieg. The Dragon-Blooded knight could only widen his eyes in shock and could not respond quickly to the warrior queen's incoming straight kick.
"Ughh!" Sieg grunted as he suddenly felt pain to his gut and was sent flying backwards, the impact of the kick produces a shockwave and the surroundings were blown away especially the path Sieg was sent flying.
Karna was also surprised to the sudden attack but he immediately composed himself and dismissed his dual blades to switch on using his spear, but before he could summon his spear, he was greeted with a crimson spear tip pointed too close to his face. Karna froze as he looks at his mentor holding Gae Bolg, the results were clear, they have lost.
"Yield." Scathach calmly said.
"…Yield…" Karna responded which made the warrior queen smirked.
After their sparring session, everyone is now eating their breakfast, Scathach and her two students were enjoying the meals prepared by Asia.
"~Hmmm… you're such a good cook Asia! You're going to be a great wife someday! ~" Scathach said praising Asia for a job well done.
"Oh! Thank you Miss Scathach! I'm really not that great." Asia said in an embarrassed tone with a blush on her face.
"You do not need to be so modest, it only shows your magnificent skills." Karna replied.
"Mmm… It's true Asia, you're actually a better cook than me and Karna so we're looking forward on you're cooking." Sieg followed on agreement and faintly smiled.
"…Y-yes! Thank you so much!" Asia said with teary eyes, happy that she has found people that appreciates her. Sieg, Karna and even Scathach stared at the teary eyed nun with a soft expression and wondered on what is her story that also lead her here to Kuoh.
"…So Asia, what's your story? Why go in a small town in Japan of all places?" Scathach casually asked the nun which also took Sieg and Karna's interest so they intently listen. Asia was a bit hesitant to tell them her story since it was a sore subject to her, but she gathers up the courage because it was the least that she can do for the people that took her in.
*BGM start: GARO Honoo no Kokuin O.S.T.- Leon *
"…I was abandoned by my parents and left behind in front of a church in the countryside." Asia started in a solemn tone.
"I was raised by the priest and the nuns of that church, then one day at my age of ten, I saw a puppy dying from the wounds that inflicted to it. I sincerely pity the puppy and pray from the bottom of my heart that I wanted to save the puppy, and then my hands shone in green light and envelop the puppy's whole body. Seconds later, the puppy's wounds were healed and got back up and filled with energy, many people witnessed the miracle and after that day, my life changed forever…" Asia followed while Scathach and her students were silently listening to the young nun.
"I was proclaimed as a Holy maiden, until the present years of my life. Many people would gather for me to treat their wounds and sickness, all my life I was isolated and wasn't able to make friends but as long as I can help all that needed it, I was happy and content on it. Some people said that a Holy maiden does not need friends and has to be dedicated solely to the Lord."
"My life as a holy maiden continues until that one night." Scathach, Sieg and Karna perked up upon hearing what Asia said, they had a hunch that this fateful night was the reason for the young nun to be here in an unfamiliar faraway country.
"While I was on the way back to the church, I saw a wounded young man but he is not just any 'man' in a sense. He happens to be a devil…" After Asia mentioned the true nature of the man, Sieg's eyes twitched and his pupils turned into slits and has both of his hands clench. Scathach and Karna saw his reaction, it was clearly obvious, he's angry every time the devils are involved in any incidents. They clearly felt the rise in power within Sieg, but the boy manages to reign it in.
"…I only did what is natural for me, I healed him…" Asia bit her lip and her eyes started to water.
"…But someone saw what I did, all the people learned that my healing powers were not limited to humans and animals but can also heal devils and fallen angels as well. They thought that my power came from God and I was chosen as a Holy maiden, but now they called me a witch…" Tears flowed out of her eyes as she continued. Sieg, Karna and Scathach looked at her in pity, they thought that she never deserves her fate and that she really doesn't belong to a world full of deceit, corruption and hypocrisy.
"…Maybe this is a trial for me… Maybe I hadn't prayed enough… Maybe my faith is still lacking…" Asia said in her self-loathing.
"…Alright, no need to continue anymore. You were just unfortunate to be with people that took advantage of your kindness, that's just how the world works nowadays, to use or be used by others, to betray or be betrayed, the strong devouring the weak. But despite that, you remained as yourself and that's admirable enough." Having heard enough, Scathach stopped her from a story-telling that resulted to self-loathing. The warrior queen already felt bad on asking the nun in the first place.
"I agree, although many people do bad things whether it was intentional or not; there are people like you who do their best to become a good person. That's the more reason to make us protect and fight for you." Sieg added.
"You are one of the reasons, why humanity deserves a chance and to be protected, to not lose faith in them. And you should do the same, don't lose of what makes who you are." Karna followed his opinion.
"… Y-yes!... Thank you!" Asia said in between sobs. She is crying but for a different reason, she was happy to have a friend in the people that took her in despite her past.
*BGM end*
Abandoned Church, Kuoh Town
"What!? The nun was taken from you! And Dohnaseek and Mitelt were taken down!" shouted a female voice, she has a long blue hair and a fair complexion wearing a purple business shirt that shows her cleavage and short purple skirt and high-heeled black shoes.
"Heh! You say that but that guy is really overpowered, you should try and see for yourself. O great, Kalawarner-sama." Freed said with sarcasm which made the female fallen angel known as Kalawarner scowled at the deranged priest.
"Watch your words, Freed Sellzen!" Kalawarner said in a menacing tone.
"Whoa! What an intense glare, it's making me excited! ~I wonder if you can glare like that if I shove my cock inside that pussy of yours! ~" Freed said to the fallen vulgarly and without any shame. Kalawarner gritted her teeth in anger and is about to summon a light spear to shove it to the priest's dirty ass going through to his dirty mouth.
"Hmm… I see, that really is a problem." A gruff voice was heard by the two, and they look at the church entrance. They saw a man on his thirties wearing a businessman suit and shades, also his wings are exposed with a total of six wings.
"Gadreel-sama!" Kalawarner exclaimed in surprise on a superior's arrival.
"It seems you had trouble securing the twilight healing wielder, mind if you give me the full details?" Gadreel asked freed for explanation.
"Long story short, there is an interloper here in this town. He's human but he is super strong, he can even manipulate fire and he has a golden spear with a design resembling a sun." Freed said to the six winged fallen angel.
"And there's Raynare too. She suddenly went missing after she went after the other target, Issei Hyoudou." Kalawarner reported dutifully, but deep within, she is worried on what happened to her friend.
"Then we have to make a move… Freed, gather the others and prepare. We are going to attack those pesky interlopers and secure the nun. We will show them how much of a trash of a human they are. Kalawarner, tell me where this Issei Hyoudou live." Gadreel arrogantly said but little did he know that his arrogance will be his downfall.
Kuoh Academy grounds, Noon time
"There is no mistaking it, that devil is from the Astaroth House. Those foul creatures never learn, huh, even after I killed one of their important member." Sieg said in a cold tone. The two are currently talking at one of the benches within the school grounds since it was lunch time and first period have just ended.
"It seems that you hate this particular devil house, what have they done to raised your ire?" Karna asked in curiosity, the number of chances that he is seeing some emotions from Sieg are increasing.
"Of Course I do! Their kind is what I hate the most, they go after Holy women that catches their attention. The one I killed is an heir to the Astaroth House, he actually raped a female exorcist. The female exorcist is nothing to joke about based on her aura, she is truly strong to the level of an ultimate class so how did the bastard managed it? Simple, he captured her comrades and used them as a leverage." Sieg said slowly getting angry little by little.
"I managed to know it because I stumbled upon a nun who was able to escaped captivity. She was crying while explaining the events and then passed out due to hunger and exhaustion. Apparently, she just continued running for three days and in that number of days that the female exorcist was raped continuously. I accepted her plea for help and went to the location, when I got there, I have seen the bastard still doing her while wearing a perverted expression. I've seen red and next thing I knew I started running towards them taking the devil by surprise, the devil's companion tried to stop me but I dealt with him quickly as I kicked the eyesore to his crowned jewels and then bisected the Astaroth heir in half." Sieg went silent after that, he suddenly remembered his mother and the fate that befell her.
"I see… if that is the case, I don't mind burning some of them to ashes and I understand your mistrust towards the devils in this school. After all, they are depicted as evil creatures." Karna said as he understands his friend's reason.
"No matter how tame they are now today; they still can't get rid of their true nature. That is what makes them as they are." Sieg said in a firm tone.
"Do you think the female excorsist that you saved back then was able to live properly after that experience?" Karna asked him wanting to know what his friend thought.
"I think so, she is a very strong woman based on her aura, I could feel the strong will in it. Albion also agrees with my assessment." Sieg replied.
(We dragons may look like just a beast in the tales most humans read; but we possessed some wisdom and intelligence, we are even a good judge of character.) Albion cuts in the conversation supporting Sieg's statement.
[I agree with Albion, we are at the pinnacle on everything we do, whether it comes to knowledge and power. Unlike humans or otherwise, our intentions are pure whether it was good or evil, we neither lie nor cheat and most likely the oldest creatures this world ever have. Going back to the topic, we dragons acknowledges those who are pure-hearted and strong-willed not just strong in a physical or magical way. Asia is the example of pure-hearted, that's why we dragons could not help but protect humans like her.] Ddraig added.
(And the exorcist that you saved is the example of strong-willed, you must have a mate just like her, Partner.) Albion followed.
"… I see." Was Sieg's only reply trying to digest what the two dragons said, and suddenly a memory flashes in his head as he remembered someone with both the qualities that the dragons mentioned and it always pointed to the girl in his dreams and memories.
*BGM start: Fate Apocrypha ost- Affection*
Flashes of memories came to him, as he is seeing the back of the girl in his memories her golden hair flowing freely to the intense wind, adorned with a sleeveless white dress with an armor over it. He is seeing the girl in battle with someone with white long hair garbed with a Japanese dress that can be seen to a shogun in ancient Japan, the battle was so intense that it leads to an explosion of white. Next thing that he sees, is the girl dying on his arms and still looking at him with a gentle smile, her lips muttering something that he cannot hear. And finally, seeing the girl again alive and well but this time she is wearing only a white dress standing bare feet on the fields of flowers, raising her hand beckoning him to reach her too.
"Sieg, are you alright?" Sieg was put out on his musing as he heard his friend called out to him.
"…Mmm… Yeah." He affirmed although not convincing enough for Karna.
"You were spacing out for a moment there. Is something bothering you?" Karna asked his friend.
"Don't worry, it just flashes from the past life. Let's go back, break will be over soon." Sieg replied as he walks towards the school building, Karna stared at the back of his friend until he also started walking and followed Sieg.
*BGM end*
Occult Research Club, Old school building in Kuoh Academy
Rias Gremory watches the two leave towards the new school building, she was feeling frustrated and desperate, her desire to have one of the two to her peerage did not wane. She just kept her distance because of their guardian and mentor which happened to be the warrior queen that resides in the Land of shadows and the only human who actually killed a God, Scathach. Rias almost scowled as she remembers the image of the warrior queen, she has the beauty and a body that every male desired and something surpasses hers and most of all she is powerful, just a stern gaze from her could make anyone even her to wet themselves.
If Scathach is out of equation, she would be free in recruiting either Sieg or Karna, she would be there for them as their friend while they mourn over their mentor if she suddenly died somehow. Her eyes widen as realization struck her, she smirks as she has formulated a plan on how she can separate the three. Meanwhile, Akeno is watching her friend with worry, she can see Rias' expression telling her that she is up to no good.
"Rias, I hope you do not do what I think you would do." Akeno said in her thought, as she hopes that a disaster won't come to pass.
Hyoudou residence, Kuoh Town
It is currently night time and everything is peaceful especially at the Hyoudou residence, every tenant is doing their own thing; Sieg and Karna are both maintaining their weapons, Asia is preparing dinner for everyone, and as of the warrior queen, Scathach, she is currently taking a bath. Scathach is in the middle of washing her voluptuous body, she sensually scrubbing her fair skin with towel and soap cleaning every nook and cranny. After scrubbing, she started to rinse herself in the shower and let the soap flow down from her body and washed away, she stayed still in the shower and started to think about her meeting with the Shinto gods before their migration to Kuoh.
Takamagahara, 2 weeks ago
"I see… so you three will stay here in Japan for a while." The feminine voice said, the woman is wearing a regal Japanese red empress clothes adorned with golden ornaments, she has a long flowing raven hair, golden eyes and has a fair complexion. The woman's beauty is comparable to any goddesses depicted in myths and radiates like a sun.
"Yes, Lady Amaterasu… we're kind of taking a break in our journey around the world, and Sieg already misses his old home so here we are. We're not giving you guys trouble aren't you?" Scathach said to the woman that is now known as Amaterasu, the Shinto goddess of the sun and one of the Shinto trinity.
"Hahahaha… No, you're not. Amaterasu is the troublesome one here instead, she kept whining on how she misses her favorite little brother figure to the point that it is annoying. She almost holed herself up to the cave again." A boisterous laughter heard besides Amaterasu, he is a handsome man with a wild look, his raven hair were unkempt, same golden eyes and tan complexion, he is wearing a samurai armor with only the gaunlets and greaves and the right side of his white hakama is down exposing his muscled and toned torso.
"~Ara ara Susanoo… Do you want all your collections you are hiding to burn into nothing but ash? And who said that I'm whining? I'm just empty of my little brother love gauge. Fufufu…~" Amaterasu said in a sing song tone, even if she was smiling, what actually scared him was an imaginary Hanya mask hovering behind her emitting with an ominous aura.
"… Ahhh… no… who said you are whining!? Someone's really stupid saying that! Heh! Look, now that Sieg is staying here in Japan, you can now bond with him anytime." Susanoo sweat dropped and rephrasing himself in order to avoid his sister's wrath.
"Yes! I can hardly wait to meet him again after ten years, I wonder how handsome he has become!" Amaterasu said happily as her aura grew bright.
"SAFE!" Susanoo inwardly said while secretly thumbs up, he also has comical tears in his expression.
"Susanoo nii-sama, Amaterasu nee-sama, we would really like to enjoy this reunion but I think we should go back to business." A young male voice said seriously. He has a long raven hair with the same golden eyes but paler, has fair complexion, wearing a black Japanese emperor clothes ornamented with silver.
"*clears throat* As much as we want to enjoy this banter, Tsukiyomi is right, we are meeting you today because of someone's request. This is something to do in Kuoh town currently." Amaterasu composes herself wearing a serious expression.
"Yasaka, you may come in." Amaterasu said to someone while looking at the shoji door.
The guards open the door revealing a beautiful and voluptuous woman; she is wearing a gold imperial empress clothing that accentuated her curves especially the bust and the hip, has long golden hair tied up by a crown like ornament with fox ears and nine fox tails. She is Yasaka, the leader of the Kyoto Youkai faction which is close allies to the Shinto faction, and the legendary nine-tailed fox.
"Greetings, Amaterasu-dono, Susanoo-dono, Tsukiyomi-dono and Scathach-dono. I am Yasaka, the leader of the Youkais, I have come to make a request for you, Scathach-dono and your students." Yasaka greeted the three Shinto gods and addressed the warrior queen politely.
"I see… then we will accept your request, I had a feeling that this problem may affect everybody. So would you explain the situation to us, Yasaka-dono." Scathach said to the Youkai leader.
"Thank you… the situation is that we have some youkais living in Kuoh town, they are my subordinates that are task to observe on how the devils managing the place, but about a week ago, we lost contact on them. I wanted to request on you to investigate on what happened to our missing subordinates." The youkai leader sincerely said to the warrior queen.
"Alright then, it seems that we have something to get occupied with and if we let this problem be, it will only interfere with our business." Scathach said accepting the request.
Back to the present time, Hyoudou residence
"While we patrol the whole town to keep watch on the denizens, we also investigated and search for the missing youkais. And what we found are corpses that are brutally hacked and slashed and pinned to the ceiling like they are crucified plus messages written by the blood of the victims. Heh! Looks like those rouges from the Grigori were enjoying themselves aren't they?" Scathach muttered to herself, then she turned off the faucet and pick up her towel to dry her body and proceeded to walk outside the bathroom with all her naked glory without even covering herself up. She wears her black lacy bra and panty then the sweater, she did not wear anything else as she leaves her room to get dinner.
Scathach went downstairs only to find her students maintaining their weapons while Asia is preparing dinner, she approaches the two and discussed the matter about the missing youkais that they have found.
"It seems that those rouges from Grigori were the ones behind it, they don't want any observant eyes to discover what they are doing here." Scathach said starting the discussion.
"So what is our next course of action, Master?" Karna asked his mentor. Scathach pondered on what would they do to the rouges but Sieg cuts in and say his suggestion.
"We should just thwart their plans now and kill them if necessary. I don't know what their endgame is but it would be something that will affect the whole world. It would also be a good excuse for me because I am in their kill list for some reason." Sieg said in a serious and cold tone.
"~Oh my! Sieg, you're so eager to pick a fight lately. Your bloodlust is over the roof thanks to your dragon blood, but it is also manly that it could make me hot sometimes. And here I thought that I could only see this to some Celtic warriors in the past. ~" Scathach responds to him in a teasing manner which made the boy look away in embarrassment seeing his mentor/ sister figure's clothing.
Karna watches their banter in the sidelines but then a feeling has struck him suddenly, he looks to the direction it came from. He felt several human auras accompanied with two Fallen angels but one fallen seems to be stronger that can be rank to a high class mid-tier being.
"It seems that hunting them down is not necessary, they already brought themselves to us." Karna said which got the attention of his friend and mentor, they too have also felt the auras coming to their direction.
"Asia, We're going out for a while, don't wait for us and eat. Just leave our portion and go to sleep." Scathach called out to the nun as the three warriors walk towards the front door of the house.
"Uhm… ok please be careful and come back before food gets cold." Asia replied and the three left the house.
Outside the Hyoudou household, Sieg, Karna and Scathach are currently running from roof to roof in a fast pace to intercept the enemies but Sieg and Karna noticed their mentor wearing only the sweater and she's running with bare feet.
"Nee-san, are you going to fight with that attire?" Sieg asked his mentor.
"Just this attire is enough, I'm not going full gear against weaklings plus I just want to tease them a little to make them motivated to fight us. Don't worry about dirtying the floor in our house, I have cast a rune under my feet so that I can prevent getting my feet dirty." Scathach said in a cool tone.
"Do you have no shame, Master? You're asking to be assaulted by those degenerates." Karna said in a stern tone.
"~Well, if they want to touch this body of mine, then they should be prepared to die for it. ~" The warrior queen replied in a teasing manner but the glint in her eyes were saying differently and filled with killing intent.
Meanwhile with the Fallen angels and rouge priests
The rouges are currently on their way to the Hyoudou household were Asia Argento is taking refuge, they have quite large numbers with 150 rouge priests including Freed Sellzen and 2 Fallen angels composed with Gadreel and Kalawarner. As they were about to reach the street towards the Hyoudou household, a rouge priest has stepped on a magic circle and they were forced to teleport in an open field located outside Japan, where the most notable landmark is the ruined fortress near the sea. This is Scathach's place, The Isle of Skye.
"WHAT THE HELL!? WHY ARE WE HERE!?" Freed yelled in shock that they have walked into a trap.
All the rouge exorcists were in a panic and raised their guard, Kalawarner has a worried expression but she raised her guard as well, only Gadreel is calm in the situation until he felt three auras approaching their way.
Walking towards them are the skimpy dressed Scathach and her students, Sieg and Karna, who are wearing their battle outfits. Both Fallen and stray exorcists drew their weapons but the exorcists suddenly wore perverted expressions when they saw the dress Scathach is wearing.
"~Hey Miss! Are you sure you want to dress like that? There are too many men here that are hungry to eat you up. When we beat you up, we could do something other than beating you. ~" Freed taunted in a vulgar tone which made Sieg and Karna tighten their grip to their weapons, ready to slice the vulgar exorcist.
"You should not worry about my article of clothing; this is just to give you some motivation so that you weaklings can somehow pose a challenge to me." Scathach taunted back with a fearless smile. This made Freed and the other excorcists mad being called weaklings.
"YOU BITCH! WHEN THIS IS OVER, WE WILL GOING TO FUCK YOU OVER AND OVER TO THE POINT THAT YOU CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT OUR COCKS ANYMORE!" Freed roared throwing the worst profanity that he could ever say.
"Says the weakling who could not hold a candle against me, you better be not just bark because if that is the case, you're all going to die here. I don't mind on how many of you will come at me." Karna said in challenging tone, his monotone voice made them angry that they feel so insignificant in their eyes.
"Freed, don't get drag to their pace. The're just bluffing, they are outnumbered and we, the superior fallen angels are here. We're going to beat them to the ground and I am going to partake in tasting the woman first." Gadreel said in a calm and calculative tone but there is a glint in his eyes behind the shades as he lay his sight on Scathach's figure.
"Are you sure about that, Fallen one? You might be a six-winged fallen angel but we have fought worse." Sieg cuts in to the taunting contest as he pointed Balmung towards them. When Gadreel saw the sword, his eyes widens in surprise.
"That sword, it's the dragon slaying holy sword, Balmung! Then that means you are the rumored Dragon-blooded knight!" Gadreel said in disbelief which also garners the attention of his comrades, they became wary of Sieg's presence and also including Scathach and Karna. They became aware that this is not an easy fight and all of them are going to die.
"Geez Sieg, you're not just popular to the devils but to the fallen ones too huh. So are you going to take this fight seriously now? We're capable of taking on armies you know." Scathach said to Sieg then addressed the opposition.
"Grrgh! All of you attack! Fight them in groups!" Gadreel lost his composure and ordered his comrades to attack.
*Cue OST: Fate Extella Links battle theme*
After their so called greetings, the battle finally begins, Sieg, Karna and Scathach move in separate route towards their group of targets. The stray exorcist drew their guns and begun firing towards Sieg who is nonchalantly deflecting their bullets as if he could actually see the trajectory of the shots, much to Sieg's annoyance they just kept firing and keeping distance so Sieg did not just deflect the light bullets, he begun swinging his sword batting the bullets back to the exorcists and some of them got killed by their own attacks. The stray exorcists realize that guns are useless against the Dragon-blooded knight, so due to their desperation, the group of strays drew their swords and yelled their battle cries as they run towards the young man.
Meanwhile at Karna's side, he is currently being surrounded by another group of stray exorcist. Karna just stared at them in a calculative manner, they are engaged in a staring contest until suddenly Karna blinks away in existence leaving a cross of red light. In a speed of sound Karna slip pass in between the rouges and when he stops and reappear behind them, blood coming from some stray exorcist gushes out like a fountain and they collapse lying down dead. The remaining strays were frightened and some could not comprehend what was happening.
"As I told you before, you better not just bark because you're all going to die here." Karna said in a cold tone while he pointed his spear to the strays.
On another side, Scathach was looking at the strays in a calculative expression while she kept on parrying the sword attacks of the strays, every swing and twirls of her spear deflects any attacks that the rouge exorcists attempted. Freed amongst the crowd of strays is aggressively attacking Scathach with the intention of not only to disarm her but also strip her naked but much to his frustration, the warrior queen just batting every attempts aside like it's nothing.
When they saw their attempts were not working, they decided to attack her in twos hoping that their simultaneous attacks will confuse the warrior queen, Scathach noticed that they are attacking more aggressively so she answers it in kind by spinning her spear to parry and attack them herself. Her attacks connected with the butt of her spear hitting the stray priest's solar plexus while the other was hit directly to his face with a kick but for some reason the rouge is wearing perverted expression despite having a bloody nose and mouth.
"Hoh? Did you actually got turned on with my kick? Hehe… what a pervert, so disgusting." Scathach sneered at the rouge that she kicked and once again she started to pay attention to the other exorcist that attacking her.
The warrior queen noticed once more that they are attacking whenever she took down the other strays, she was quite impressed that their perversion and carnal desires were fueling them to keep attacking her but to her disappointment their efforts were not enough. She transformed her spear into a three-segment staff and spun both ends as she parries their attacks but at the same time sent the exorcists flying. Now that the Gae Bolg transformed she has now a wide range attack that can easily attacks and defends at the same time, with each swing, weapons started flying out of their owner's hand and with another swing the rogues are being knocked down one after another. It is now started to sink in their minds that they cannot defeat a goddess of war in a battle and fear have grip their hearts.
Gadreel watches everything from above and he realized that he has underestimated the humans that they are facing, it turns out that they are officially a threat that could thwart their plans for initiating another great war that their leaders' Kokabiel and Ramiel wanted. So he decided to join the fight even if he is fighting dirty, what is important to him right now is to eliminate the three strong humans or rather ravage the woman before he kills her in the end. With a strong flap of his six wings, he dives towards the warrior queen in high speed as he conjured two swords of light in both hands.
Scathach sensed the fallen's incoming attack as she transformed Gae Bolg back into its spear form and clashed their weapons, they are now in a deadlock staring at each other until Gadreel swings his other sword towards the warrior queen but she responded immediately and dodged the attack by doing a side flip. In a bout of speed, their arms blurred as they clashed weapons, light and steel repelling each other producing some sparks in every angle their weapons meet. Gadreel made a wide swing which Scathach evaded by jumping over the fallen angel and then she stepped her bare foot on his back to propel herself away to make some distance.
"You're not getting away, bitch!" Gadreel yelled angrily as he turns towards the warrior queen and grabbed her ankle.
"Wha- "Scathach was caught off guard by the sudden movement as she felt being pulled. The six-winged fallen angel spins around ones to gather momentum as he throws Scathach to the ground, the impact caused a shockwave and a huge crater.
*OST end*
The rouge exorcists cheered on their leader's victory and now imagining things on how they would ravish the woman who insulted them, their celebration was short lived when the smoke dissipates and see Scathach standing at the center of the crater unharmed and no signs of physical damage. The rogues' faces were paled at the sight and they have concluded that they are facing a monster and they are all going to die and how right they are.
"Hmm… not bad, Fallen. I would be very disappointed if you are not as strong as you appear to be." Scathach said checking her body for any dirt and scratches.
"Also allow me to clear some trash before we continue." The warrior queen said as she looked at the group of stray exorcists with a menacing glint on her blood red eyes. She spins her Gae Bolg and reared her right arm preparing to thrust her spear, the blood red spear started to glow in violent waves of crimson light as Scathach move into crouching position.
"Gae…"
"BOLG!"
Scathach called forth the name of her weapon as she thrust her spear forward unleashing a crimson beam homing towards the strays. Freed and the other rogues prepared themselves but to their surprise the crimson beam branched out and separated into several beams which numbered the same as their own numbers, Freed manages to deflect the crimson beam gunning on him or so he thought. He felt a sting on his chest and wet feeling dripping on it, he looks down and his eyes widen that he was impaled straight through the heart, with the little of his strength he looks at the others and they are the same situation.
Up above Gadreel was frozen in shock, in just one attack and she killed all of his subordinates with him. They only heard rumors about the weapon called Gae Bolg, it says that is a spear that can affect cause and effect, that no matter what happens it always reaches and pierces the heart of its target. It can only be avoided with extreme luck to your side, in his opinion such weapon does not exist but right now he just witnessed its power and he is starting to think on the identity of the woman before him. He thought that Cu Chulain is not a woman so he thinks of the other person who wielded such spear. His eyes widen in fear as he realized the identity of the woman.
"Y-You are… Impossible!" Gadreel said looking at Scathach with fear.
"Oh? So you have just realized who I am. Why are you so surprised? I am just having a vacation from my eternal duty and having some fresh air for a while, being a gatekeeper is boring sometimes." Scathach said in a stern voice and a straight expression.
Meanwhile at Sieg's side, while the battle in Scathach and Karna's side were still going, the Dragon-Blooded knight have finished his side of enemies and behind him are trail of corpses of the stray exorcists. Some of them were unfortunate that they died being sliced and mutilated by Balmung, body parts and innards were scattered around in a pool of blood. The sight was filled with blood and gore, that many would think that such brutality is unbecoming of a knight and more of a deed of a barbarian but truly in reality, being cut by a great sword that is swung as fast as a guillotine will truly result with body parts flying and bodies being bisected. The only one remaining among Sieg's enemies is the female fallen angel named Kalawarner.
"Y-You monster! Where is Raynare? Did you kill her too?" Kalawarner asked the young knight in anger, the young knight in question raised a single brow in confusion, he is slightly smeared with blood and there is also blood on Balmung's blade.
"If you are talking about the raven-haired fallen angel, don't worry she is alive and well. She is probably back at your home base by now reporting to Azazel." Sieg replied in a monotonous tone.
"How can I be so sure you are not deceiving me!? You're an enemy and you three ambush us here!" Kalawarner retorted not believing the young knight's word.
"*SIGH* Believe whatever you want to believe but what I said is true. What would I gain for deceiving you? Even if I'm human, I have a blood of a dragon thus having some characteristics of one and dragons do not need deception in battle. Deception is actually your kind and the devils' specialty." Sieg sighed in defeat and did not reason to the female fallen.
"How dare you lump us to those filthy devils! We are superior than them and much more to you humans, show some respect!" Kalawarner took Sieg's statement as an insult to them and then yelled at him in anger.
"You say that but deception is still deception no matter how you look at it. You Fallen angels deceive humans to lure them to your trap especially those with Sacred Gears, you lot either recruit them or kill them, Devils on the other hand are the same in order for them obtain some slaves and playthings for their amusement. For a race that is about to go extinct, they sure don't take care of the people that helps to repopulate their kind." Sieg said in disgust but his expression remains stoic.
"Also tone down that arrogance, your race is superior you say, but you are the ones having your asses handed down to you by mere humans. That is also what you have in common with those filthy devils as you said." That statement made Kalawarner silent but she is seething in the inside. She hates to admit it but she also agrees on the young man's point, they tend to look down on humans since they have what humans lack and they just like the devils are getting it over their heads. And now, this fight shatters her beliefs as she witnessed the power of a human trained to fight a supernatural.
"Oh, it seems Karna is finished on his side huh." Both Sieg and Kalawarner looked to Karna's direction as they found the said person standing by watching the other side of the fight.
"Then that leaves our mentor, and it seems she's about to finish up the fight." Sieg redirected his sight to Scathach's side where the said mentor and the six-winged fallen angel are left to face off.
As the battle of the warrior queen's students have concluded to her students' victory, she is currently facing the shocked six-winged fallen angel, Gadreel, who is also seething from within for underestimating the woman in front of him. He heard tales of a human who is standing at the realm of the gods and became a goddess herself due to her slaying a god in her time, he never expected to meet a certain legend in a town in the far east. His instincts were telling him to fly away as far as he is able but his pride and belief that fallen angels are the most superior race is stopping him for doing so, he is now thinking that if he forces his superiority and manages to defeat the Queen of the Land of Shadows, he will become a legend himself and have power and prestige in Grigori and be promoted to become a Cadre. And also ravaging such a beautiful body such as Scathach's is an added bonus to it all, even it does not appear on his expression, the reason Gadreel fell is because of too much lust and desire to the body of the opposite gender.
Having decided his plan for his future, Gadreel call forth his full power and conjured light spears which numbers are increasing to thousands. Scathach prepared herself on the upcoming clash as she spins Gae Bolg skillfully until assume a stance where her spear is hanging loosely at her back like a sheathed sword but both her hand holding the spear with her right hand near the butt end of the spear while her other hand seems caressing the part near the spear tip. The stance has full of openings with purpose of provoking her enemies into attacking her, and it was effective as Gadreel scowled on her action.
"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME, BITCH! TAKE THIS!" Gadreel shouted in fury as he unleashed all his conjured light spears that now raining down towards the warrior queen.
*Cue OST: Fate/ Apocrypha Soundtrack 2 #7- Grand War*
Scathach was not bit unfazed by his display as she crouched down preparing to dash forward and make her way through the hail of spears made of light. The warrior queen dashed in incredible speed and as the rain of light spears fast approaching, she twirled her Gae Bolg around her body deflecting the light spears with ease. The light spears that are deflected were redirected to other direction and explode, dashing through the hail of light spears, Scathach's arms and her spinning spear were just a blur to all that is watching. Gadreel was awed in the skillful display of the woman but he did not relent on his continued rain of light spears as he refused to be beaten.
"Hm… Not bad, any amateur warriors will sure to succumb in this rain of death but…" Scathach said in an analytical tone as she jumps high dodging a light spear that going for her legs.
The warrior queen uses her magic as she conjured replicas of her trusted spear hovering behind her and then fired them to the direction where another hail of light spears is coming to her. The Gae Bolg replicas and light spears clashed creating some explosions and a thick smoke was produced as a result, Gadreel halted his barrage and could not see through the smoke, suddenly a figure emerges from the smoke heading straight at him, it was Scathach, spear at the ready preparing to stab him. When he saw this, he hastily deployed a magic barrier, his defense resisted for a second but it was shattered and he move out of the spear's way dodging it in the process.
After the failed attempt to impale her enemy, Scathach uses her acrobatic skills to flip herself mid-air and landed in a graceful manner. Gadreel sees an opening and did not hesitate to conjure more light spears and rained it down to the warrior queen but Scathach acrobatically did a backflip away resulting to the light spear stabbing dirt. As she was back flipping away from the storm of light spears, Scathach throws her spear to the air and then she follows and jumps towards the spear catching it mid-air, she rears her arm preparing to throw her spear.
"GAE BOLG ALTERNATIVE!" A violent wave of crimson light envelops the spear once again and with great force, the warrior queen throws the spear like a javelin.
There are two ways of utilizing Gae Bolg, one is through a thrust that will appear as a sharp stinger and the second one, when Gae Bolg is thrown, it becomes an anti-army noble phantasm and Scathach uses the latter option. Currently, the spear is flying in the speed that breaks the sound barrier going after the heart of the six-winged fallen. Upon seeing this, Gadreel hurriedly deployed magic circle after magic circle in front of him to shield him against the spear that spells his doom.
The spear made contact on the fallen angel's defense and it only withstand ten seconds and the first layer to break, the second to the last layer broke apart in a blink of an eye and a big explosion occurred at the sky. Scathach gracefully landed and raised her right arm with open palm only for Gae Bolg appearing on her hand and catch it. As the explosion subsided, a figure fell from it and crash to the ground, the figure shakily tried to stand up and as the smoke subsided lo and behold the six-winged fallen now in tatters. Gadreel lost his whole left arm along his three wings on his left side gritting his teeth and cursing in pain.
*OST End*
"Hoh? You have luck on your side if my spear did not claim your heart." Scathach said in a mock surprise.
*Cue OST: Gundam Unicorn OST- Life and Death*
Before she finishes the fight for good, hundreds of magic circles appeared to the sky and a variety of beings composed of magicians, devils and fallen angels. All of them were locked on to the warrior queen in case she makes a move. Upon seeing this, Gadreel made a shit-eating grin thinking that the fight results to their victory.
"HAHAHAHA! What now bitch! You are far more outnumbered. It's our win!" Gadreel laughed and taunted the warrior queen but the woman seems unfazed instead.
"Fufufufu… Do you think numbers will help you here? And look at these, you have a colorful variety of companions here. Stray magicians, devils from the old maou faction and rogue fallen angels who wanted to start a war. It is now confirmed that you are from the rumored Khaos Brigade." Scathach said in a cold tone that sent shivers to their spine. Some of them flinched when they were identified by the woman.
"I will show you what lies beyond the world"
Scathach slammed the butt-end of the spear to the ground sending a mild shockwave to the surroundings.
"I will lock you away in the darkness from the age of Gods"
Dark clouds accumulated at one spot and at the middle a large door made from stone appeared from the sky. The door gave up an ominous feeling to all of the enemies and it was doubled when the door slowly opens showing a frozen wasteland and snow storm beyond.
"Tremble, freeze and shatter into pieces!"
"Gate of Skye!"
The warrior queen declared and the door started sucking everything within its range. The group of magicians, devils and fallen angels tried to resist the force but it was futile, they were all sucked in the door and Gadreel can only look in shock as he was being suck towards the door. After cleaning up the enemies, Scathach twirled her spear as she turns around and walk towards her apprentices while the gate of skye closes and disappears.
*OST End*
"A-Amazing… Who are you three?" Kalawarner asked with both fear and awe.
"That does not matter fallen one, just fly away and go back to your home base. You will find your friend there but I'm sorry for your other two comrades." Karna replied to her, though she was hesitant to believe their words she reluctantly flies away from them never to look or go back again.
"Are you both sure you want to let her go?" Scathach asked her apprentices while looking at the fleeing fallen angel.
"It does not matter Nee-san, at least we have confirmed the existence of Khaos Brigade and Kokabiel's involvement to them." Sieg replied to his mentor as both him and Karna turns around and started to walk home.
Scathach look at the backs of her apprentices and smiled thinking of how many years have pass and how much they grew under her tutelage. She started to doubt herself if she still desired death after acquiring a family in the form of Sieg and Karna, she also started to worry on what will happen to the two of them when someday she will not be by their side anymore.
"No, there is no point thinking on uncertain future." The warrior queen shook her head and shelve the idea at the back of her head as she starts walking and catches up to her family.
"Hey Karna, call me Nee-san or Big sis too…"
"No."
Scathach pouted cutely at Karna's flat reply. They happily walk back and teleported back home to eat Asia's food and rest.
