Unbeknownst to him, the world reacted to his arrival and this brought forth a hanged some events. A red-haired young man was not pierced thru the chess yet his fate still continued as planned. Different yet the same, as a maiden with long blond hair, blue armor, and invisible sword rose to his side.
While in another area close yet far from him and his two female companions, a man with golden hair black jacket, black pants and white shirt search thru the city streets. Having felt the silver-haired girls power, he wished to confront it and if possible claim it.
Still as these events as well as others unfolded the man himself remained entirely ignorant, as the endless fighting within the previous universe, having to carry the young girl Index on his back, along with the lack of food and the lack of sleep exhausted him.
Yet he refused to fall into his much-needed sleep, he knew what was at stake within this universe and he preferred to leave it behind as soon as possible.
So as the cool winds of the night began to banish and the cold air of twilight began to take over, only for them to immediately banish as the warm air of day took over. He was alerted by the sound of running water.
As he turned to see who it was he immediately saw Index, with her long silver hair, blue eyes splashing the cool water on her face. Besides her Caster did the same as her long purple hair caught some of the cool water causing it to splash a little.
As the water splashed and lifted itself into the air, by the motion of both of his companions he could only see how beautiful they both were. Yet he knew all too well that if they remained with him they would constantly be in danger.
He had read enough fanfictions, books and seen plenty of movies to know where he was headed and his destination was only his own death.
''I'm hungry'' said Index, as she used the paper towels to dry her hair
He simply smiled ''Okay, let's go get something to eat.'' as he turned to look at Caster who stared at them he simply continued ''Well you coming or what''
The moment he said those word, her small lips immediately made the form of a smile and so the three of them made their way to one of the diners they saw the night before. Yet as they walked out of the park they were immediately met by a priest, with short spiky black hair.
''Well this is interesting. I'll see you three at the church when your ready'' he said as he walked away past them
They stood there without moving or saying a word, as the priest walked away. ''Index, from now on no matter what happens, don't leave me or Casters sided. Caster protect Index no matter what. If you refuse I'll use a command spell'' he said, causing both of his companions to frown at him
''I'll explain while we eat'' he said, as he began to walk again. So as they made their way to the denier and ordered their food he began to talk.
''In this universe, the planets have the ability to consciously create life and kill it. I'll skip the history lessons but Index, don't let anyone know who you are. Caster I don't want the Grail, it's corrupted, between the three of us we might be able to give you a new body but first we have to survive this war'' he said as he left everything unexplained yet at the same time telling his companions of the danger around them
Still, as the food arrived his two companions began to devour the food, slowly but surely they both ate the equivalent amount of an entire football team. While he simply looked down at his hand at the two gold coins he had and how he was forced to use one, in order to pay for their meal.
Still, the owner didn't have enough to give him back his change so they came to an agreement, his companions along with himself would eat there until they finished the amount owed to them and the man would stop feeding them when he had enough change.
Still, as he exhaled, he smiled their food situation was fixed for the moment, so they wouldn't have to worry about it. Yet as they walked thru the city Casters hooded purple gown attracted people's attention.
Noticing this he spoke ''Caster if anyone asks about your clothes, I'll give you a simple word that stops anyone. Just say that you're a cosplayer'' he said as he smiled
Caster for her part simply smiled, she uttered no words nor did she react negatively she simply smiled as they made their way to a nearby church
As they stepped inside, they noticed the same priest from earlier standing in front of the Holy Altar. ''I see you came'' the priest said
''I came for the book, nothing more'' he answered, going straight to the point
As the priest took a small black book from his robe his gaze drifted towards Index in her white nuns outfit ''I must say, I was not aware that another had been sent'' the priest said, as he handed him the book
''Whether she was sent or not, is irrelevant. I am the Master and you'd care to stay away from her and watch your eyes unless you want to lose them'' he said in the most threatening way possible
''I see. Very well enjoy the war'' the priest said, as he turned and continued with his work
As they walked out of the church Index began to talk ''That was very rude you know''
''Yeah, I know'' he answered as his eyes were met with the appearance of a black haired teen girl, with a red dress and a man with white hair and red battle trench coat. As their eyes met, Caster immediately put herself between Index and the two strangers
''Master'' Caster said, only to be immediately interrupted ''I know'' he answered
''Rin whats going on'' said a young man with red short hair, accompanied by a woman with long blond hair. Before stopping and staring at him and Caster as she stood protectively in front of Index.
As the tens silence took over the woman with blond hair immediately stood in front of the young man, while the white-haired man stood in front of the girl with black hair now know as Rin. As he drew both of his cylinders and ignited the lightsabers, Caster immediately created a type of spell-like circle ready to attack at the moment's notice.
''Trace on'' the white-haired man said as a pair of swords appeared onto his hands, one white, one black both sporting the yin and yang signals on them. While the blond woman drew what appeared to be wind which she held onto like a sword, the only thing visible was its handle and guard.
''So whats its going to be. We kill each other here in broad daylight or we leave it for now'' he said as a giggle caught everyone's attention
''Well this is interesting. We were going to wait for someone to show up yet here we are isn't that right berserker.'' said a small girl with long white hair, red eyes and white shirt and pants. Beside her was a hulking man with a sword made of stone and a rage unknown to man in his eyes
'ROOOR!' in an instant the battle lines were drawn and it was a free for all everyone against everyone. As Caster immediately Identified the blond woman as the most dangerous one of the three enemies and began to bombard her with spell after spell. While the blond woman easily evaded every one of her attacks and drew closer and closer to Caster. Yet as her attack was about to reach Indexes voice was heard forcing the blond woman's hands into the opposite direction.
Max for his part was caught in the losing side of a three on three battle. His lightsabers giving him the strength and speed he desperately needed, but at the same time he was working with a tired body and lack of sleep. While his enemies were literally super beings.
So as he stopped the Hulking man's stone sword with his lightsabers and the white-haired man shot at them both exploding arrows. He felt his chess turn cold and the image of a war zone, one that he did not know appeared before him and his yellow saver glow red he simply screamed ''Feel the power of the dark side!'' as he unleashed a blast of electricity from his hands onto both of his opponents, before falling exhausted
Unbeknownst to him, his one-act caused the young girl with black hair and the one with white hair to immediately turn and launch an attack towards him. As a crystal sword and a purple gem were shot towards his fallen body Indexes voice echoed somehow commanding both attacks to destroy each other.
''Caster get us out of here'' she ordered In that moment a purple magic circle enveloped him and his two companions teleporting them away. Leaving their opponents to attack each other, ironically they didn't as they were to confused as to what had happened. They simply chose to turn and walk away vowing to kill each other later.
Back at the city parks restroom
Caster and Index watch helplessly as Max curls up in pain, as the devil's fingers begin to form thru his wrists all the way up to the tip of his fingers. Normally this would have never happened, had Max himself been a Force wielder.
Unfortunately, that was no the case, tho the lightsabers did grant him an enhanced speed, reflexes and strength, Max himself was only using it. Similar to how one uses a car to run over things, he was just using it, not truly wielding it. So the moment he allowed himself to truly channel the force, his body could not take it and as a result he as now in a grave position.
As he curled himself into a ball, do to the sheer agony he was in both Caster and Index could do nothing more than simply watch over him and pray he would live. Even as the drops of sweat fell from his forehead, Max could only grit his teeth and cry out in pain, as any movement was multiplied a thousandfold.
Tho both women could barely utter a word they began to hear Max's exhausted voice begin to chat a set of words that even they had never heard of before.
''Pace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The force shall free me.'' Max said as he wheezed every word out, causing Caster who was connected to him to look at him worriedly. Thoe the power he was channeling wasn't evil per say, it had the unquestionable ability to drive its wielder insane. She had seen it plenty of times before.
Her connection to her master allowed her to feel what he felt and in that moment of desperation she felt an overwhelming rage, loss and regret coming from him. Immediately after that he used his lighting and forced both the likes of Archer and Berserker to their knees. For a Human her master was powerful, but what use was such power if it killed him in the process.
The sound of running water caught her attention, as she turned to look at who it may have been, after all, it was a public bathroom, only to notice Index wetting her Nun's hood and taking it to Max as it dripped with water.
As she saw this the realization that they didn't have anything on them dawned on her. So as Max drank from the cloth Index provided she began to wonder who these two really were. Yet her thoughts were stopped as Max began to speak once again.
'' There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death there is the force.''
Even as the words left her masters mouth, Caster could feel both powers working against each other, one cared only for itself, while the other moved where it needed to be. Neither good, neither evil. Both easily capable of driving their wielder insane.
A common ground needed to be found, less her master be lost, Caster for her part was about to try and use her own magic to try and guide him when she noticed Index Kneeling next to him, praying the girl had not given up yet. Even with her own mysterious power that allowed her to command others magic, she still prayed to the forgotten God's.
No more like she prayed to the God.
She was about to begin her chant when a third power made itself known.
''There is no Dark side, nor Light side,there is only the force. I will do what I most to keep the valance. There is no good, without evil, but evil must not be allowed to flourish.
There is passion, yet peace serenity. Yet emotion chaos, yet order there is no dark side, nor light side. There is only the force.'' Max said as his breathing calmed and held itself, even as his heart rate slowed down and he began to open his eyes.
Caster saw Index immediately throw her arms around him.
Relax kid, I'm okay but I won't do that again. Don't worry'' Max said as he stared out the restroom window noticing that it was now getting dark
''How long?'' he asked
''Master it's been ten hours, you received a heavy backlash from using that kind of Magic, I suggest you don't use it again.'' Caster said, knowing that a Master would never listen to a servant.
''I know, that thing nearly killed me. Worst of all, we now have three sides gunning for us. This place is to in the open, we need a better hiding spot.'' Max said as he began to shutter along with Index.
Caster who saw her companions bodies begin to vanish attempted to hold on to them out of sheer desperation, only to have confused looks directed at her from the both of them.
''Looks like it's almost time for us to leave'' Max said as he looked at Caster
