This chapter will cover most of what happens in episode 8 of unlimited Bladeworks season 1. Just that our OC shall be in the mix of it all. I hope you enjoy this chapter it did take me 10 hours plus to write so I did put in a lot of hard work here.
Please Review no flaming please.
Chapter Six
"The worst part about being strong is that no one ever asks if you're ok." Accelerator (To Aru No Index)
Hitoro was on his way back to the Emiya residence when he felt that he was not alone.
Halting he scanned the area around him and was able to tell who it was that was now shadowing his steps.
"So it is you who I will have to fight next then I did not think I would have to so soon."
As the hidden Servant was about to appear Hitoro said "Do not even try to lie to me, I know why you are here."
Appearing out of thin air the tanned man with with hair in red said "To know what it is that drives a human being, you are a very dangerous Servant."
In reply to him Hitoro said "Oh and you are not, I can tell is you, that you did not come here on the behest of your master, no you have an ulterior motive in coming here eh?"
Archer gave a smirk "I was told to check up on that fool, but I can see that you made sure that Caster did not take him."
At this point Hitoro narrowed his eyes as he turned to face Archer "You know if you are going to lie, you will have to do a lot better than that."
Archer now frowned at Hitoro "And what would you know of that, it takes a good liar to be able to see through a good lie."
In reply Hitoro gave a shrug and said "If that is the way you want to interpret it then so be it."
Archer did not like the way that he was told to think for himself so he replied "Do you even have a place here, I know of no hero who has what you have nor has done what you have done?"
In reply to this Hitoro said "I think you are barking up the wrong tree, I am no Servant, I am just a man who has the power to do what I see needs to be done."
Archer took note of the fact that he Hitoro had said 'what I see is right' rather than what is right.
Archer now raised an eyebrow and asked "So what is it that you see needs to be done?"
Hitoro gave a shrug and said "You want to know what it is that I want, truth be told, I do not wish of any kind, I do not want to do it but I know that I need to do it, because if I don't who will."
Hitoro had said a lot there but in the end all Archer had got from it was the fact that Hitoro was just doing what he saw was right and that was it.
Archer now gave a sight as he said "So you are on of those types, a man with no wish, yet you were summoned here to this Holy Grail War."
Hitoro gave a shrug in reply and said "Who am I to question the god of possibility, he who lie ever dormant within us all, it is not my place to go and do so, nor do I have any desire to do so, I accept life for what it is."
Archer now narrowed his eyes and looked at the man before him and asked "So you would just let others die if it suits you?"
Hitoro gave a shrug "All things die, time makes sure of that, I think you need to think over what it is you want to ask me before you open that mouth of yours."
Archer grew a visible tick on the side of his head, this man was clearly an ass, but he was only so because he seemed to hold all the cards.
Archer now cleared his throat and said "I see, so you like to take a technicality to a fault, I did not take you for that type?"
In reply Hitoro said "I did not take you for a guy who wants to take the easy way out, so we can call it even."
If Hitoro had struck a nerve he had struck it but he was not done yet "Do tell, what if your wish is granted, what then, what steps do you have in place to avoid what it is you so desired to avoid if fate decides to have another shot at it."
In Hitoro's mind flashed the face of a young man in a red military uniform with green hair.
Hitoro shook his head "You can't change fate, you can only cheat it and if you slip up, it will collect its due."
Archer noticed the change in his voice, it went from condescending to neutral in the a heart beat.
Archer now raised an eyebrow at this as his face relaxed "The way that you said that, it is almost as if you are speaking to me from experience?"
In reply Hitoro said "Oh so that is what you think, you can figure that one out on your own, I do not have time to waste here, unless you wish to fight me?"
Archer was ready to fight Hitoro, but he was unsure if he could win.
But Archer knew that if he did take him on now, he may be too injured to fight later on so with a sigh he said "I'll leave you be, for now."
Hitoro in reply said "Oh how kind of you."
Neither out of the two made a move, the two of them had locked eyes with the other.
As Archer stared into the reflected eyes he noticed that he was now staring back into his own.
"Eyes that cause a man to be gaze back into his own, that is a cheap trick, but effective all the same."
In reply to this Hitoro said "I can say the same of a world made up of infinite swords."
Archer scowled and conceded this time and turned to his astral form and left.
Hitoro seeing as well as sensing him leaving said "Well a world made up of infinite swords, I have to say as a super power, that is dull, I mean think about all the things you could have in place of that, but it must have its merit or uses against someone?"
Hitoro was certain that it must have a use other than to be a spawn point for all of Archers weapons.
Archer had been summoned as the Archer class so those sword may not be just for close combat.
"At any rate I will have to find that out later, at this point all I need to do is get back to the Emiya place and let them know of what has transpired here."
It would be a drag to explain it all to them, but he knew that he had to do so all the same.
"Life can be so shit at time, I guess I will have to come up with a good excuse for why I let them live."
Emiya Residence
"And with that, it is safe to say that Servant Archer cannot be trusted, I cannot tell why he truly wishes Shirou harm, but I do know that one does not always need a reason to wish so."
She now glared at him "I take it that you saw fit to spare those who you faced?"
Safe to say she did not need an answer, Hitoro in turn gave a shrug and said "I did what I felt was right, if you have a problem with it, be more alert and go after Shirou's foes on your own."
Hitoro said this to Saber with a hint of malice in his voice.
Shirou was able to pick up on this too and tried to defuse the situation "Okay I see, you did not take them down due to the fact that it may not benefit us to do so at this point."
Hitoro gave him a nod and said "If I had to say, I did not take down Archer due to the alliance that you and Miss Tohsaka have."
Hitoro said this with a sigh as if to emphasise that this alliance may hinder them.
Saber now asked Hitoro a question "Do you know if she had asked Archer to kill Shirou or not?"
Hitoro now raised his eyebrow at her and said "Saber with all due respect, I am a man who has evolved to feel the emotions of those around him, unlike you my soul is not bound by gravity, I can tell if the intent is on behalf on another or is for ones own gain."
Shirou gave a sigh, why did most things have to gravity mentioned in it.
Hitoro now turned his gaze to Shirou and said "I have not yet gone into my system, but I have a very bad feeling for this day, be on guard."
Shirou now turned to Saber and said "Rider's master is in the school, but so is Archer's, if a fight does break out, it would be best if you were with us?"
Saber looked a little taken aback, she did not expect for him to say that after the way she had just spoken to him.
"That coupled with the fact that Shirou is under the watch of Caster, I can say that in the worst case scenario, we may be face with up to three Servants."
Three Servant's in one place, may just be too much for Hitoro or rather Sedecim to take down in time before one manages to get to Shirou.
Saber could see now that Hitoro had Shirou's well being at heart.
"Not to mention that Shirou as far as I am aware is a drop out magus, so I can say that a Magus trying to kill him or rather two of them will be too much for me to handle alone."
It was not an insult to Shirou, it was the truth, he did stand no chance in a fight against another Magus, except for Shinji as far as Hitoro was aware, that guy was a loser in all things, normal or not.
Saber at this point asked "What of Assassin, you did say that he was entrance to Casters hold out?"
Hitoro gave a shrug "If I had to say, he won't come, he is not as strong as Lancer, if I had to put it bluntly he is weak but skilled."
Saber did not understand this, but Shirou did and he said "So in short, he is skilled with his sword, but his attacks are not as strong as Saber or Lancer, but he could still make short work of me."
Hitoro gave him a nod there as well but instead said "I don't think he would risk facing a Servant like Saber when he is not on his home ground."
Saber now had to ask "And pray tell, what do you mean by that?"
In reply to her Hitoro gave her a shrug and said "If I had to say, since he is at the top end of the stair at the temple, he has the high ground in a sword fight."
In an instant Saber knew what he meant, it is not wise to fight an up hill battle at the best of times, to do so now would be folly.
Saber had her pride, but she knew that Hitoro meant no ill will towards her when he said this, it was merely a fact.
Hitoro now stood up from where he sat and said "Well that aside, if you do intend to be of any use this day, do try to rest a little, it would be both myself and Saber at ease if we know that you are not about to fall asleep on us all the time."
Saber put her hand to her mouth to stop a laugh, she succeeded in doing so, but the smile she had on her face gave it away.
At this point Shirou turned to Hitoro and said "You know I am not sure about you, at time you can make Saber laugh at other times you can stir here up?"
In reply Hitoro just gave another shrug and said "Is that so?" Shirou gave Hitoro an uneasy look and said "Thank, you just told me that you do for fun, don't you?"
This time all he got was a smile with the same words "Is that so?"
Shirou gave a sigh, hopefully Hitoro would stop this, it was not kind at all.
At Class
Shirou had gone to class a bit late, he had been spoken to by a peer about it, Shirou had said that he had just slept in a little for once.
Truth be told he had a whole incident while training with Saber about how he had not taken to her style yet.
The two of them had gotten a little bit caught up in it so, Shirou came a little late to class.
He had also seen Hitoro in school, even though the he did not sit in on all the classes that Shirou was in.
Shirou was sure that he must have been getting Saber into the school, but what means Shirou was unsure, but if knew one thing about his ally, it was that the he was not a man you could predict the actions of.
In all things he had notice how Hitoro or rather Sedecim was able to not only deal with the situation but find a way out of a fight if he could.
The only one he had to fight and was unable to get to back down was that giant that was with that young little girl from that night.
"How is he able to just reach a point of mutual trust with an enemy so easily?"
It was a good question for so far it did not have an answer that Shirou was ready to accept.
"Could Sedecim, truly be this Newtype that he spoke of, I am only familiar with basics of it due to Fuiji-nee?"
Shirou had not given too much thought to the concept before, but as time had gone by, it became more and more apparent that Sedecim's claim was true.
"I guess I will what to ask Fuji-nee about it later, for now I can just settle and get ready for lunch."
As the lunch bell sounded he did a recap of all that had happened to him in class, the only thing he could see as weird was the fact that Shinji had been a bit more of a jerk than usual and a whole lot creepier.
So far the ill omen that Sedecim had sensed had not come to pass.
Shirou now looked too the entrance of his class room, there were a bunch of students gathered there, that was not usual so he decided to check it out.
As he came to them Shirou asked "What's up not going to the cafeteria?"
One of his peers who was crouching down beside the right side of the door now turned to look at Shirou and said "I should like nothing better, but look hence, see for thy self."
Okay to Shirou that was not normal, no in fact a peer speaking like Saber was really weird to say the least.
As Shirou peered around the corner of the door he saw a girl with twin tail hair leaning up against a wall tapping her right arm with her index figure.
It was Rin her arms were crossed and in her left arm was a paper bag most likely her lunch.
Shirou was not sure why she was here at all, normally she would not even come here, from what Shirou was able to make out she was waiting for someone?
His peer who had spoken before said in the same dramatic tone "Tis no doubt about it, yon girl is peeking into our class room, nonchalantly yet brazen.
Shirou now noticed that her eyes were closed as and his friend continued to speak as if he was in Romeo and Juliet.
"She wears, your awaited person will not notice instead of will not come look on her face, she is trying to keep control but is about to snap."
Yeah his tone lost the Romeo and Juliet, but the fact that Rin was still in front of his class room remained.
Shirou's peer continued to narrate this event as Rin lifted her head still tapping her right arm "Like unto one who left a thoughtful birthday gift for someone and that person has not noticed it even after a year."
Rin had glanced in their direction as the peer had done his Romeo and Juliet act, she had notice the one she had been waiting for and opened her mouth and stopped tapping her arm.
There was a very unimpressed look on her face as she had turned towards Shirou's direction and lifted her left arm and point waving her index finger in his direction.
Shirou in turn lifted his own left hand and pointed to his face as his peer all looked in shock at him, one of them even began to glance back and forth between said girl and Shirou.
To them and Shirou it was like a scene out of an anime.
Shirou blinked a few times before he followed her, she had her eyes closed as she walked on ahead of him.
But Shirou had his eyes open and glanced to the side to see many of his class mates were no staring at him.
This felt just a little if not very awkward for him.
Rin did make the gap between the two of them quite large as he had walked more slowly as he glanced at his peers.
As they got to the stairs Rin was about a quarter of the way up as Shirou got to the first one and asked "Tohsaka, were are you going?"
She turned to her head to the right as she placed her left arm on her right elbow, she did not turn around as she answered Shirou.
"It's lunch break so I'm going to eat lunch obviously."
If she had a message in their, it did not get across to Shirou who just "Oh yeah right, well good luck finding a nice spot to sit."
He turned around as he said this and flowed on to say "I'm eating in the student council office."
Rin was unsure if her tone had done this or if Shirou was too dense to realise that she wished to eat lunch with him.
But the moment he had said the words 'I'm eating' she had let go o her right arm and straightened up.
Part of her hair rose as well at that point in time just before she whirled around and said "Wait just a minute!"
The sound of her tone urgent, but Shirou was unsure why it was, unlike her though, Shirou turned around to see what it was that Rin had to say to him now.
As if he was a dense harem anime main character Shirou just asked "What, did you forget your lunch money or something, I can share my lunch with you if-."
He was cut off their by Rin who had just closed her eyes and then opened them and with the face of a she devil said "Of course I didn't you numbskull."
The power of her voice as well as her the tone of it put Shirou and every other student on edge.
Shirou had taken a step back and had his lunch held back as far away from tin as possible.
One girl had both hands raised up and was leaning back and another girl was cowering from behind her.
One guy looked as if he was about to relieve himself of the contents of his large intestine the guy beside him had fallen over and dropped his lunch bag.
So of the other students had their hands out as if to try and tell the she devil to stop.
Hitoro could see it from where he was in the corridor gave a sigh and said to himself "This better not be a show that is a harem anime, let me go over the main types, big sister check, tsundere check, childhood friend check, oh as well as body guard check."
Hitoro did want to add the loli factor as well, but he was not too sure about that for now "Oh heck it, Loli check."
Hitoro turned his back on this scene and said quietly "All that is missing is, the Yandere and the Kuudere and maybe a few other ones, well shit."
Hitoro would not save Shirou from this foe, well not until 1 minute was up at any rate.
Besides he knew what she truly wanted and killing Shirou was not it, in fact all the other students besides Shirou was aware of what Rin wanted.
Shirou did not notice Hitoro though, if he did he may have tried to ask him for help but in a not so direct way.
Without a word she grabbed him and proceeded to pull him up the stairs with her.
Roof top
The door to the roof opened with a bang and Rin walked out pulling Shirou with some force out onto the roof.
She let go of him and sat down and lovingly tapped the spot next to her indicating for him to sit down next to her.
Shirou was as dense as well a Gundam and decided to sit down where he was.
But as he attempted to do so Rin spoke to him "Over there you will be sitting in the wind.
Shirou now notice that Rin looked sad or was it that she felt regret, though what for he did not know.
Sitting down closer to her, Shirou notice that while he had a Japanese Oriental meal, Rin had what was called a Sandwich.
They sat in silence or a few minutes as both of them began to eat their lunch.
As Shirou was about to near a third of the way through his lunch she said "Sorry."
This was so out of the blue that Shirou was about to ask what for when Rin answered him "About yesterday I mean."
Shirou had been informed of what Archer had intended to do, it seemed that Rin was now aware of his intentions as well.
She now said "I used a Command Seal on Archer, I ordered him not to atttack you as long as our alliance stands."
She then said "I know that it doesn't make up for anything, but I'm sorry."
Shirou in reply said "There isn't anything for you to apologies for Toshaka, nothing happened to me."
Rin now looked down at the ground and said "I was unaware that he wished to kill you so much, if I did, I would not have given him free reign last night, if anything did happen I would be responsible for it."
In turn Shirou just said "If that is what you say, I'll go along with it."
Shirou now looked up at the sky while Rin turned her gaze to him "Sedecim told me about him, so I have fair warning, he also stopped Caster, if he had not been there, no it is best not to think about it."
He now turned to Rin and with a smile said "Let's just say we are even?"
Rin now turned away from him and looked once more upon the ground just saying "Yeah."
Shirou now dared to ask "So where is Archer today?"
Rin now sitting with her legs up and crossed to her chest said "I left him at home today."
At this point Shirou just said "Oh, here Sedecim had a bad feeling about today and all?"
Rin was about to reply when the school bell sounded to signal to all that lunch was now over.
Shirou then said "Crap lunch break is over!"
He had not gotten all the way through his meal, but he hastely packed it up and was in the act of leaving when Rin said "Hang out with me for a bit."
Turning around Shirou saw that Rin had tilted her head slightly to the right and had a smile upon her face as she said "Skipping a class every once in a while won't do any harm right?"
Shirou saw no reason to turn her down, she seemed actually sorry about Archer.
Some Time later
Shirou was now sitting on a step at the roofm he held a blue can in both his hands.
Rin was standing with her back to the fence a little way off from him.
Rin now asked him "Why are you so fixated on strengthening magic?"
She had her arms crossed, but held a can in her right hand, the same kind that Shirou held in both.
Rin blinked as she heard his reply "I've tried different kinds, but that's the only one I can do."
Rin now decided to share some of her secrets with him and said "I can store up simple power, alter its flow, convert and store mana in various objects."
Shirou not turned his head to look at her and asked "Should you be telling me this?"
Rin closed her eyes as she answered him "You told me yours so it wouldn't be fiar if I didn't." She now put down the can and walked over to him her right hand holding her left arm.
She pulled up her sleeve to reveal the very bright aqua patterns on her arm. "I showed you this earlier, but this is my Magic Crest, in the Tohsaka family, we pass down conversion techniques."
She then went on to see "Our Speciality is the transfer of power, either in ourselves or in others."
Shirou now asked her "Did you know that the Matous are a mage family?"
Rin replied normally as if it were no big deal to her "Yes, but father told me that they're no longer considered bloodline mages."
Shirou now perked up and he got a sick feeling in his gut "You knew that Shinji was a Master?
For a whole second Rin looked at Shirou with a blank expression on her face and then began to laugh.
"I'm sorry, I just found out this morning."
She said this with one eye open and one eye closed, she looked like she had heard a good joke or was it a bad joke.
"I'd written him off as someone who couldn't possibly be a Master."
Now Shirou asked "Tohsaka what are you going to do about him, attack him right away?"
In a sense it is what she may have been tempted to do to Shirou, had Sedecim not been with him most of the time.
In reply Tohsaka took an almot playful tone and said "I am not just going to attack haphazardly just because he's a Master."
In reply Shirou did not look impressed as he said "Actually you did you attacked me."
Now walking away from him holding both her hands behind her back she said "I only did because you weren't taking this seriously, it was an exceptional exception."
She gave a cough and if Shirou could see her face, he would have seen that she was blushing.
"Anyway my enemy is the Master who's hiding at the school, for now lets focus on them."
Shirou looked out at the school ground then to the steps below him "Then you're saying that there are four here, at school?"
In reply she turned her head back to him and said "Wouldn't there have to be?"
But then she went ahead and said "As a Master, Shinji has no power, I told him I'd turn a blind eye if he behaved himself so don't expect any trouble from him."
Shirou now was a little uncertain and asked "Wait Tohsaka, tell me a little more about that."
He had turned his head in her direction and now got up and walked closer to her as she said "Shinji was the one who approached me, he said 'since we're both Master, shall we join forces'?"
She held her arm out in a way Shinji was known to do as if to mock him.
She proved that she was, when she went on to say "Naturally I turned him down, but he wouldn't take no for an answer."
She now made a very annoyed face as she said this, not that Shirou could see it but he now had a feeling as to why Shinji had behaved the way he had before.
And this was confirmed when Rin said "So finally I said, 'I already have Emiya, so I don't need you', right to his face."
During the recalling bit she had put her face upon her right hand and made a shooing motion with her left. She then smiled and almost laugh as she said the last bit to Shirou.
In fact as she finished she began to laugh as she placed her hand on her hips in triumph.
In turn Shirou put his hand to his head pushing it back and said "So that's why he was acting strangely, well what's the plan Tohsaka?"
Rin stopped laughing and opened her eyes, she was clearly a tad if not more confused by this question.
Shirou now went on to explain a theory he had "I am just saying that I got the feeling that he was the one who had set up field and those marks?"
At this point the door to the roof slammed open and both Rin and Shirou took a step back from that area, only to see that it was Saber.
"Shirou, can you not feel it, the magic in the school is-!"
As she was about to finish her warning pillars of wavy red light shot up into the air.
These pillars were all over the school and danced what was akin to a flame, but all of them seemed to be drawn to a certain area in the sky.
They began to form a massive dark blood red circle that opened up to reveal an eye with a red iris.
It was massive and was high above the school, and the red light now poured down to cover the entire school grounds.
Shirou knew this had to be the doing of Shinji, he was all of a sudden glad that Saber was here, though how she had got to him, he was unsure.
But he felt a sudden pain in his chest, Shirou was sure that it must be that red eyes doing, then it the thought came "What of the other students!"
Rin clearly was not that badly afflicted by it but she saw that Shirou was and said "Keep generating mana with your body Emiya."
At this moment Shirou looked to Saber and then to Rin and said in a desperate voice "Sakura" as he rushed off.
Sakura's class
Students lying on the ground collapsed on their desks frothing at the mouth, clasping their chests making gasps as they tried to breath, twitching but unable to move.
All of it it was like out of a horror movie, Shirou just stood their a look of both determination and slight disgust on his face.
Rin on the other hand had covered her mouth with both her hands, she her eyes shuddered in fear.
Shirou now began to walk on, and Saber followed him Rin moved to a little and put her arm out as she said "Wai-."
But she did not finish, she looked at the student at her feet, collapsed in his own drool, she took a step, back she was afraid, no she was horrified by what she saw.
Shirou on the other hand walked like a man on a mission towards Sakura who was collapsed on the floor at the other end of the room.
She was not frothing at the mouth, but she did look like she was in pain.
Shirou now crouched down checked on her and then said "She's breathing, it isn't too late to save them."
Saber gave him a nod, but she took note that Tohsaka had been shocked by this scene, while Shirou had not, this did leave the question to why he was so level headed and calm about all of this to be asked.
"We have to find Shinji and take down this field."
Shirou now bent back down and place Sakura so she was sitting up.
When he heard Rin call out to him "Emiya!" There was distress in her voice but it was not about the people in the room.
A skeleton that had no ace, but a jaw from the floor it had a sword in hand and purple mist seemed to seep of it.
Both Shirou and Saber were about to make a move to stop it, Rin seemed to shocked to do so, but a loud smash rang out and the skeleton faded to dust if not less.
Sedecim stood where it had been, his eyes masked by some shade he had taken from somewhere.
Shirou now Saber now came to where Rin was and Shirou asked "What was that."
In reply Rin said "It was a Golems, a familiar type."
Shirou was unsure of what that meant but he felt a little at easing knowing he did not to summon Saber due to the fact that she was already her.
Sedecim was here as well so they could breath a little easy even when there was more purple mist or was it clouds coming up from the floor.
Sedecim who had been unusually quite now said to them "Caster is not here, she has part of her power that is all, she will likely try to trick you that you are fighting that purple haired lady."
Saber was about to speak but Sedecim silenced her when he said "It is part of her power that you sense, take it on, Shirou and Rin, stay close to her, I'll deal with Shinji."
Rin at this point asked "Wait how, how do you know all of this?"
In response to this Hitoro took of the shades he had, his eyes reflected the red aura that was around them.
"I have seen it, I'll tell you all about later, I'm going to deal with that punk, stay alive, protect them."
In a blaze of either red, crimson or vermilion light Sedecim sped off as fast as he could. Shirou got what he meant when he had said to 'protect them'.
Now turning to Rin and Saber Shirou said "Tohsaka, Saber we need to take care of these things and protect our peers, Saber if Caster is here or not, you can deal with her right?"
In reply Saber said "Of course I can Shirou."
More and more of the purple clouds had began to close in on them and those Golems as Rin had put it had begun to form into a little army.
Holding a broom that he had enhanced Shirou said "We can take this down if we are together, Rin?"
Rin gave him a nod and said "Yes, I can do that, I may have been caught off guard a little earlier but that will not happen again."
Rin now put her hand to her head and closed her eyes as she said "Archer can you hear me, we have both Rider and Caster at school."
Since she did not use a Command, he was not their in an instant and her house was not so close by so it would take some time for him to get here.
In the time until then, Shirou, Rin and Saber would have to take care of these Golems as well Caster and her Master if they were here.
Rin now said "I do not like this not one bit, Shinji will pay for what he has done here, to just throw away the lives of all of our peers this is just plain evil!"
The three of them now took on the Golems, sure Saber did the most work, but Rin did notice how Shirou did his part as well.
"What the hell, he is not fazed by all of this, what, what is wrong with him, he went straight for Sakura, I know the two of them are close, but I did not think that they were that close, he just wanted to make sure she was safe why?"
It was the fact that he checked on Sakura with no real care or regard for his own safety that bothered Rin so much.
With Sededcim
Sedecim came to a stop right outside the door of one of the chemistry labs.
He now looked down the hall at the man in a suit and said "Well for a cripple you seem to be up and about, what is your secret, don't tell me, you had sex with a magical girl."
The man made no move to deny or admit what Sedecim had just said to him "Oh my bad, you are the well trained assassin, if it helps I was not trying to taunt you."
The man did not flinch at that, but Sedecim was see a small yet ever visible tick that told him that this man was a bit uneasy.
"Damn it is hard to find a person based on how they feel, if I had to say, it would be like looking for a waste in a slaughter house, even if it smells bad, the scent of clotted blood is sure to drown it out, you'd only find it after you put your foot in it and gotten the blood off."
Needless to say that it was not an animal slaughter house that Sedecim had in mind when he thought that.
"I will give you this chance, it is the last one, pull back and withdraw or I will kill you here and now and this time I have other things to do, so I won't hold back."
If it was his words or the truth behind him, most would be unsure, but the man in the suit took a step back turned his back on Sedecim as a sign of trust and left him to do what he needed to do.
"I'll take you on later, now is not the time."
Sedecim now turned his attention to the door, he was sure that Shinji was still too full of what he had done to notice that he was here.
"I guess I will have to crash his party."
Sedecim now kicked down the door sending it crashing into a table as he saw Shinji.
"Ah, so you think that you can waste away your peers in order to give you power, you disgust in fact I know a genocidal manic who was a better person that you."
Shinji nearly crapped himself when the door came flying near him he saw who it was and tried to act tough "You, stay where you are, don't come any closer to me!"
As he saw that his tough can act had been called a bluff, he now began to push down chairs and try and get away from the man who had entered the room.
"Stay away, I said stay away!"
He now turned his back like the coward he was and ran for his pathetic little life screaming "Rider!"
Rider now in turn came at Sedecim with her child sized needles and chains.
Not that it would do her any good against him, Sedecim had dealt with her before and he was about to just smash her neck in when time seemed to stop.
"Is this, is this regret about all of this that I sense in her, if so I will have to ask her if it truly is?"
He could feel that his action were moved to a more benevolent path, he did not care to stray from it now.
Time began to flow as usual and Sedecim now saw that Shinji had a book that was not a regular book on him. If it were part of this, he did require to know, so as he took a light step to the left he avoid Rider's blow.
Then in a flash he placed his right hand on the back of her and gave her push, he sent her crashing into the wall in front of her.
His strength plus her speed did put a massive indent into the wall.
This in turn made Shinji wet himself, Sedecim looked at him as he saw this and said "So you really are a little girl, no that would be an insult to all of them, a new class of coward is now known to man, the Shinji Matou, the lowest of the low, the biggest bitch in the world."
Shinji just sunk to the ground, more of his pants became stained with his piss.
Sedecim now began to walk over to the book that was on the counter to Shinji's left.
As he picked up the book Sedecim felt as if there was something amiss with it "Say this book doesn't look standard, you don't mind if I have a look do you?"
As Sedecim now opened the book, he saw some three red petal runes in it.
As he touched them, the began to glow and so did his hand and then they flashed and they were glowing upon his arm.
Shinji seemed to forget that his life was in mortal peril for a whole second and said "Wait, what the fuck is wrong, you are a Magus, no way what, who the hell are you Caster!"
Sedecim did not speak for 5 whole seconds but when he did all he said was "Can I ask you if that was supposed to happen?"
In his head Sedecim went "I see, so it is my bad, I did not use the system to see what was going to gone here, this is due to my own failings."
Shinji forgot all of his fear and to whom he was speaking and said "Like hell it was, who the hell are you, you just took my command seals, I do not know who you are but I will make you pay."
Sedecim now raised an eyebrow and said "Those are some might tough words, I may just take you seriously, if you were not sitting in a puddle of your own piss."
Shinji looked down, saw that he was in deed sitting in a puddle of his own piss, he also felt it and that woke up the fear that was in him.
Sedecim with an ever so happy smile said "Now you are going to stop this little thing you have started or I am going to break your bones from your toes up, do I make myself clear?"
Shinji did not speak, the terror had returned to his eyes and all he managed to spit out was "I, I can't, I can't do it any more!"
Sedecim looked at him and gave scowl it appeared to be the truth well it was Sedecim could feel it, the truth was that Shinji could not stop this any more, but why, he had started it after all.
"So then, I guess I will have to kill you to find out if that will put a stop to this."
As he said this Sedecim got ready to use either his Beam Sabre or his Head Vulcans.
"Wait, wait, wait, I can't stop it, killing me won't stop it, you have them, you have the command seals, you can control Rider, please let me live!"
At this point Sedecim said "I have no mana, I do not see how I can control Rider?"
At this point Shinji said "That book, it had them in it, it glowed and so did your arm, now you have them, it's the truth, I swear don't kill me, please!"
With each second his opinion of Shinji got less and less and less.
When he had met the ass, he did not think it could get any lower, but he was wrong, it could and it had.
If there an award for the biggest coward was to be given out to the people that Sedecim knew, this guy got 1st 2nd 3rd and the rest of the top 10.
Sedecim no picked Shinji up by his head the fool was screaming and trying to get out of his grip, not that a guy like him had a chance in hell.
Sedecim now turned to Rider and asked "Is what he said true, if you are the one who created this, I ask that you stop it, of your own volition."
He added the last part to see if she would do so of her own free will or not, if it was true and she had felt regret when she was strike him, then she would do as he had asked of her.
She gave him a nod and then she did an action that Sedecim did not know, slowly the red aura began to lessen and after about a whole minute it was gone.
He now looked at the lady wearing an eye mask and said "So is what this thing said true or was it a lie to try to distract me?"
Rider shook her head "No it was not a lie."
There was relief in her voice as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders.
Sedecim could feel the relief in her voice, he could also feel the rest of the student body slowly returning from deaths door.
Giving a sigh of relief Sedecim now turned his attention back to the ass he held in his hand "So it turns out that you did tell me the truth, even if you did not know it yourself."
In a way it was all over, in a way it had just begun, Shinji had literally tried to kill every student in the school.
He had to pay for this, there was no way around it.
But unlike most people, this man did not sit idle ever, he has access to an ever evolving AI as well as knowledge and technology from the future.
In 2004 photoshop and video editing was not the hottest thing around, if one did add the fact that he has the Zero System assisting him.
Combine these elements and you get a monster that if he so wishes can access any network in the current world, manipulate information as well as edit data.
It was the worst enemy for any normal person, magicians who dislike machines, well that is a whole new level of super effective.
He now looked at Rider and said "You best turn invisible, I'm going to disappear for a bit, Shinji I hope you like the what the inside of a police station looks like."
Shinji did not have time to speak before he was knocked out, but not before he the sound of police sirens could be heard and they drawing close to the school.
Sedecim or since he was not in battle at the moment Hitoro gave a sigh "I feel partly that you deserve to be locked up, partly that you deserve to die, but I am not the law, but Shinji, congrats what you made Rider do, well you're being charged with that."
At this point Hitoro took a step out of the room and then gave a sigh "The fuck will be let off, no doubt about it, no real evidence other than what I made for him."
As Hitoro now made his way back to where he had left Shirou, Saber and Rin "I guess I will have to ask them about this."
He said that bit out loud and then said "If I am right, which I know I am, Shinji will get himself into more shit that I did."
He then saw both ambulances and police now rushing into the school "I guess I will have to wait to talk to Shirou and Rin about this, for now I will just have to be another face in the crowd."
At this point he noticed that Rider had not vanished and she was following him.
"Um, you should turn invisible again, by the way, why are you following me?"
Rider now politely said "I can feel the energy that radiates from you, I can feel in working its way into my body, I am staying near you so that I may regain what I have lost so I need not do what I had to do before."
The first thing that came to mind to Hitoro was "Did she just say she is able to absorb GN particles from my body, that is a new one?"
But now was not the time for this, slipping his shades back on he began to find the best possible way for him to vanish.
'I'll have to tell them where I got these shades from as well, that might be a bit harder than I first thought."
Extra
Hitoro now rang up and old friend of his and said "Hello, John 117, is that you I have a few words I would like to tell you."
The Master Chief just said "If you are going to tell me off for going AWOL forget it?"
In reply Hitoro said "Moi give you a lecture on duty, what why never, but I have met a kid you may want to meet."
The MC now asked "Cortanna is calling out to me, I have a giant robot thing trying to kill me, not to mention all the other problems right now, what is is that you want?"
Hitoro gave a sigh "You know when you say her name like that, it sounds like your not only a couple, but you have had children and made out multiple times."
MC tried to cut the line but was unable to and Hitoro then said "Yeah I also found a guy who can create infinite swords, tell the good doctor about that for me."
Hitoro now cut the line and looked Shinji, the boy had no idea who Hitoro had just spoken to, even though Halo was out in this world at this point in time.
On the other end Linda now looked to John 117 and asked "What was that about?"
John shook his head and then said "He just wanted to tell me that he found a guy who can make an infinite number of swords?"
Linda raised his eyebrow as he looked into the cracked visor of Master Chiefs Helmet "And what good does that do us?"
Master Chief at this point said "The ability to create infinite swords, do you suppose he could replicate that guardians and get us out of this mess."\
And so Master Chief and Blue team began their journey to an alternate Earth to retrieve the Unlimited Bladeworks
Okay a lot did happen, first up I want to say that I will get to what Rin, Saber and Shirou are doing in the next chapter, sorry about that, but the Rin and Shirou had a lot to do already in this chapter. Second the reason why Hitoro was silent when he saved Rin was because he was using the Zero system to locate Shinji and Souichirou Kuzuki. He also used it there to find out the perfect way to deal with said Man with words rather than violence. Due to the fact that if he did have to fight him, it would give Shinji time to run away, this meant the blood field would be up for longer. Kuzuki left not out of fear, but the fact that he knew Hitoro had spared Caster the night before. Hitoro had no idea why the red petal runes (Sakura's command seals) would transfer to him, he did not think he needed to use the Zero System to figure out how to deal with Shinji. A Newtype ghost was the one who influenced Hitoro not to kill Rider. Being Ruler as in the actually overseer of the war, Shinji was unfit to be a Master and so the command seals transferred to him. And as for the last bit about the GN particles, well Hitoro in a sense is his Gundam the Agito Zero. He had he GN Drive on all the time and by some means that I will make him attempt to explain along with Rider, it can sustain a servant. It is pure energy in a sense after all.
Well that is enough from me please review no flaming.
