"Something else"
Omake: A different dimension
Inside a crimson chamber, you can see 9 figures. 8 of them were seven of the members of Class VII, Rean, Laura, Alisa, Jusis, Fie, Machias, and Emma, with the cat, Celine. They stand exhausted and hurt with the clash with the 9th figure, who is none other than McBurn, The Almighty Conflagration. He seems to be damaged as well, though at a much lesser extent than the others. The group has really pushed it to make McBurn get on his knees.
"(Pant)" Rean lets out.
"His strength is immense..." Laura lets out in shock and slight despair.
"He isn't known as one of the strongest in Ouroboros for nothing..." Jusis shots back weakly.
"...'In a whole different league' is right..." Fie adds in.
McBurn starts to tremble.
"...Hehehe... Damn, this is good... " He chuckles ominously and looks up at the group. "It looks like you guys'll do just fine."
Then suddenly, a large ominous, dark, red aura appears surrounding McBurn.
"..!" Rean steps back.
"Th-Those flames around him..." Emma stammers out.
McBurn slowly gets up, and stands up straight, as if nothing happened to him at all. His eyes gained an intense bloodthirsty glint.
"Who cares what Abyss and Steel have planned? I've been struggling to find someone ever since that idiot Loewe went and kicked it." He says. Then his eyes turned red as his sclera turned black. Then his voice changed to something more sinister. "I can't wait to see how much I have to turn up the heat to take you kids out."
McBurn released the pent-up aura, and his appearance took a change. Once light blue with pink highlights became stark white. Red tribal markings appeared around his body, giving him a more sinister look. Along with the appearance, the pressure in the atmosphere intensified significantly.
"Wh-What...? How...?" Alisa managed to choke out.
"I-Is this some kind of bad dream...?" Machias despairs into denial.
"Is this what you meant by 'all of you'?" Rean whispered.
McBurn raises an arm, and dark red energy gathered around his palm like flames. Noticing the gesture, Rean frantically warns his classmates.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Rean yells.
Not a moment too soon, a torrent of intense flames slam and destroy the pillar next to them.
"DIE!" McBurn screams out with insane joy.
A second later, another pillar was destroyed on their other side.
"BURN!"
"H-He really is the Blazing Demon..." Celine lets out in shock.
"His power's beyond comprehension..." Fie says feeling despair.
"Can he even be defeated by human hands?" Laura says with uncertainty.
"He's just like the Flame Demon in ancient legend..." Emma adds in, remembering a fearful legend.
Fear and despair began to fill the group, as the pressure continued to press down on them.
I don't like doing it, but it's better than us all dying here! Thought Rean. He raises his hand to the ceiling and chants. "Heed my call, Vali-"
"That won't be necessary, Rean." Interrupts a voice.
From behind the group, a shining object slams into the flaming Demon, sending McBurn skidding back several steps and on to his knees.
"Who the..?! Urgh!" McBurn groans.
"Is that…?" Machias trails.
"Snow!" Alisa calls out in relieve.
"You're late." Despite Fie's scorn, you can tell that her smile is filled with hope.
Before them was Snow, shining in a fading glow as his figure becomes in sight. His silvery hair flutters in the wind and his eyes filled with warmth and determination. His outfit consisted of a white coat similar to that of Organization XIII.
Giving a heroic grin, "The hero always arrive in the last second, you know," He jokes. Raising his hand, he gives a thumbs up. "Don't worry, leave this to me. You guys go on ahead."
"W-What!?" Alisa lets out.
"Wait, what are you saying!?" Machias questions.
"Snow?" Rean calls out.
Snow crosses his arms, while closing his eyes, as if in thought. Then he opens his eyes in a determined glint.
"I expected this situation to come, so I prepared something in advance so that Rean would not need to use his knight. Rejoice McBurn, for you have pushed me to prepare this." Snow responds.
"Hmm, so what is this surprise you have for me?" McBurn asks.
"Hah, don't worry, what I have in store for you will satisfy you to the limit. You won't even need Rean or the divine knights." Snow calls back.
Rean had a look of sudden realization, as the others have.
"Wait, you can't mean to..?!" Jusis trails off.
"Are you out of your mind?!" Machias yells out.
"That's just pure suicide!" Laura adds.
"Snow, you can't be serious. Mcburn is just too strong to take alone." Celine tries to reason.
"As I said, I have something prepared for this. You can thank the old man for it." Snow responds.
"Zelretch, but-" Rean says, but is interrupted.
"Rean, out of all of us, you have the most right to fight Crow and knock some sense into him. Besides, if we all fight McBurn, we will not only lose the chance to beat Crow but also lose all of Erebonia. McBurn won't let us pass without being satisfied either." Snow reasons.
He turns to the group with a soft, reassuring smile. It causes the female members to gain a small blush.
"I am not going to die here. I promise you. I have too much I want to do after this. So don't worry. You must hurry, Crow, is waiting." Snow turns back to McBurn.
Taking in Snow's reasoning, the group struggles to make a decision. Rean closes his eyes and thinks for a second before opening them again.
"Alright. I will leave this to you." Rean says in a firm voice. "But make sure you keep your promise."
His answer surprises the group, but they think for a second before hesitantly agreeing. They look at him with a worried, but trusting look.
"Thank you." Snow tells them with a faint smile on his face.
The group runs to the platform and McBurn lets them pass while looking right at Snow. The group reaches the platform and turns back to Snow. He gives them a nod and a thumbs up. The platform starts and takes them to the top.
"Well, now that out of the way, how about we get started?" McBurn asks with a bloodthirsty grin.
"Patience is a virtue as they say, though it seems you are struggling with this. Rejoice, McBurn, for your wish shall be granted." Snow responds as his narrow into a glare. He pulls off his coat to reveal another white outfit, with a resemblance to Cloud's outfit in advent children.
He raises an arm towards McBurn and starts to chant. The command seal tattoo on his back starts to shine and project itself behind him.
"By the power of this command seal! I order this body! Initiate Reality Marble: Frozen Bladeworks!"
My body is made of a thousand swords.
My blood is of ice and my soul is the eternity.
I have overcome countless battlefields.
Not even once retreating,
Not even once being victorious.
The bearer lies here alone, standing on a snowy hill of swords.
Thus, my life needs no meaning.
This body is made out of infinite swords.
In a flash of white flames, the light consumes Mcburn and Snow, taking them to a land of snow and steel.
Mcburn looks around with peek interest. As far as the eye can see, it's a frozen wasteland. Embedded into its iced soil are numerous bladed weapons, all covered with frost and ice. The sky is cloudy and is decorated with numerous gears of ice. Around them is the gently falling snow accompanied by the neverending and shifting wind.
"Well, well. I'm actually quite impressed. Not even Leonhardt could do something like this, whatever this world is."
"The fact that I am able to create this world makes me an anomaly. In fact, it should have been impossible for this ability is unique only to Emiya Shirou. And yet, I was able to achieve it, albeit barely and for a price. This world is the very project of my origin; my soul made real. Yes, this is my reality marble, created from the combination of the ice, sword, and hollow element."
Snow walks around Mcburn, briefly touch each weapon he comes across. He then stops and grabs a random blade.
"This is my ultimate trump card, and this place shall be your grave. Prepare yourself, Almighty Conflagration. Do you have enough flames to melt my ice and steel?" Snow challenges as he points his sword at McBurn.
Hey guys. This is just something I've been working on for a while now, I thought 'hey why not finish it and be done with it.' So this is what I got. I'm not sure if I am going to add this later on if I continue the story, but for now I'll put it up. Peace out.
