Movement 2
Chapter 3
"So what's the plan?" I asked as I walked up to the three Exorcists in a similar manner as I did that morning. We were currently in Kuoh park and from the looks of it they have been scouring the city for any signs of any out of place disturbance.
"for now? We walk around the town, the holy swords in our possession react theirs when they are in a certain range" Griselda said while Irina shook the cloth on her back.
"I see; does that strike true for all Holy swords?" I asked and she nodded. For a moment I entertained the idea of tracing a holy sword to help them but I realized that would trigger question I'd rather not answer for now.
It took a few hours but by we finally managed a reaction from their –Irina's- holy swords –that was in her back-, with baited breath we followed the direction where the sword's brightness strengthened. It was like playing hot and cold I thought with a smirk.
As we tracked the swords we were led to the edge of the woods. Where Griselda stopped frowned and I clasped my already clocked mental trigger.
"What is it mother?" Xenovia asked
"the light's been steady for a while now, so either whoever is holding this holy sword walking and we're just trailing him or …"
We were led.
As if we'd triggered some kind of switch black feathers suddenly rained down on us. Instantly I traced the twin swords I spent years mastering into my hands.
"Oh?" a deep voice said in curiosity "now that is most intriguing. It looks like a sacred gear but at the same time it isn't"
As one the four of us looked up and what we saw made the two young girls gasp. Jet black wings reminiscent of a raven were spread out on the sky above them there must be twenty pairs floating in the air and each of them were connected to a person dressed in silver and in the middle of it all was one man. He had dark hair, his features were strong and proud but what was most worrying about him was the reaction the three exorcists had when their eyes fell on him.
"No … it can't be you …" Griselda repeated over and over as if merely saying that would make the small army before us disappear, her eyes were wide and sweat had broken from her skin, she honestly seemed scared at this moment. Irina was in the same spot as her mentor however she kept her tongue and refused to speak, only Xenovia looked ahead with resolution in her eyes. I on the other hand merely eyed the said army in front of us, my two swords ready to be thrown at any moment.
For a moment I contemplated whether to ask for a name or not, however seeing as Griselda and the others knew his identity then he couldn't very well lie about it.
"Who are you?" my Question resounded, some of the fallen behind the leader seemed taken aback by my question, some was even clearly outraged however the leader just smiled in what was clearly intrigue.
"Oh? You have no idea who I am? When your companions seem to know my identity?" he said his held no malice only arrogance and curiosity.
Damn it, another Gilgamesh.
"we just met each other, and I'm not exactly well enough versed in mythology to know each and every people through sight." I answered, swords yes but just faces no.
"I am Kokabiel!" he declared so loudly that a few stones actually shook "The Angel of the stars, one of the Founders and Cadre of the Grigori faction and General to three-hundred thousand angels"
"Three hundred thousand angels?" I said mockingly "you seem to be missing a few of them" the three exorcists looked at me as if I had just happily signed their death sentence while Kokabiel laughed at my words
"Well, even I have to admit their numbers have lessened over the centuries but to bring the ten thousand still alive would've been overkill don't you think?"
"no, no please bring them here" I said nonchalantly "They should at least see their General fall" I said before throwing the two swords towards the Angel. In that same moment the three exorcists jumped and the fallen Angels that was behind Kokabiel charged and they met with the exorcist's light swords in hand.
In the next moment I projected another copy of Kanshou and Bakuya and Readied my stance for when the Angel's came for me but was shocked to find none of them came for me instead I stood face to face with the Fallen Angel I had just thrown my two swords to. He was holding them both each on one hand, blood was dripping from his hands and it fell to the ground in steady beats.
"Impressive" his voice genuinely expressing said emotion as he eyed me with a smile "very impressive, for it to be able to cut me but …" with a squeeze the sword sung but refused to show even a crack Kokabiel frowned and added more strength causing cracks to show however before the swords broke I dispelled them.
"Oh? Did you just will them away?" he asked, the wounds on his hands starting to heal. I refused to answer him and instead readied my stance. He however merely eyed the battle going on behind me before a smile graced his lips. At that moment I heard Griselda scream jumping back I projected a bow within a second and fired five arrows simultaneously in three, all of them hit the target but the last one was parred by a human in Priests clothing.
"Freed Sellzen" I said as soon as I landed. I tracing a sword with two blades, one was long and straight while the other was shorter and with slight curves to its blade the longer side had a dragon inscription on it and both blades faced the other side, this was the [sword of Heroes] said to be able to cut through steel like a hot knife through butter (not the true description but close enough).
With a swing my sword met with Freed Sellzen's newly acquired [Excalibur Mimic] and the reforged sword immediately cracked.
"No! oh come on your Fucking cheating again!" he shouted and jumped back the sword repairing itself by changing shape.
I took the free time to watch my surroundings, only Xenovia was standing whilst Griselda and Irina were on the ground, Irina trying to heal Griselda's wound on her back. With a look at the blue haired girl she understood what I needed her to do. Protect your comrades. Three of the Angels were still alive and they were a good forty feet off the ground, Kokabiel was still watching me (Us) from his position unmoving but he wasn't smiling anymore and Freed …
"now, how did I do it with the rapidly?" he said to himself before the sword glowed its Golden yellow while simultaneously pulsing its Aura. The sight gave me a sense of foreboding and when the pulse hit me I understood why.
Pain coursed through my body as [Clarent] felt the pulse and tried to force its way out once more, I choked down a scream as the sword projected out forcing me to let go of the sword of Heroes.
ABOMINATION
"Hmmm oh! It's that sword again!" he said as the sword's blade formed into three long claw-like spikes that raced towards me, none touched me as Clarent destroyed them all.
With a screech he jumped back just in time for the three still alive fallen angels to summon their light swords and attack. With Clarent refusing to dispel I threw it at them before Tracing Kanshou and Bakuya and making them follow Clarent's example then with a movement of my foot I kicked the sword of Heroes and launched it towards Freed, taking extra care to see if Kokabiel had moved. I know he was observing me, but he wasn't attacking and as long as he wasn't attacking the three Exorcists were safe. Speaking of …
Griselda coughed up blood that stained the ground in front of her but it seems she was fine and with Irina healing and Xenovia guarding them they should be fine, especially with Xenovia's [Excalibur Destruction] -which was thankfully not pulsing-.
Clarent returned to my hand with blood smeared on its blade but I can see that the Angel was still alive for it was Glaring at me as it summoned a light lance and threw it at me. With a turn I dodged before I jumped high just as Mimic's claw passed through the space I was just in.
"Oy! don't you fucking dodge!" he shouted before the claw once more turned turned into three and followed me upwards however Clarent intercepted it before it turned I threw it to meet another light lance from the same Angel. This wasn't going to last and I knew Kokabiel was going to start moving soon my battle hardened instincts were saying so. Bringing everything into account I threw Clarent as strong as I could towards Freed -who dodged and the sword just kept going upwards- and then traced a bow, once more firing five arrows this time into the sky and while they were confused about the reason for my action, I grabbed Griselda and dashed out looking back to see the two exorcists had followed me. I heard Freed speak before he abruptly stopped the sound followed by five explosions.
Running into the forest I placed Griselda on my Shoulder while tracing three swords, tracing each with and throwing them at the enemies last known location
"What is our plan of action Shirou-san?" Irina asked as we ran through the forest.
"Retreat, I don't know much about Angels but if your reaction was any indication then Kokabiel must be strong" I concluded the two young exorcists nodded
"yes he is, I am surprised you were actually serious about not knowing him I thought you only wanted him mad" Xenovia said
"If I was alone maybe …" I answered before I traced a simple shield and threw it at the air, it was immediately destroyed as a ray of light impacted it.
"Damn it, why do they always have to have good eyesight" I said as I conjured three more shields to block out the beams sent at us. The treetops should have shielded us from their sight add the darkness of the coming night and they should be having at least a bit of trouble shooting us down, not doing it with extreme accuracy. I once more conjured three more Shields only to watch them explode, after thinking on it for a moment I raised my hand and passed Griselda to Xenovia who raised her eyebrows.
"What's wrong tired?" she sarcastically asked, I gave her a small smile before answering
"nope, I need you to go to Sona Sitri, tell her of the situation … I'll hold them off" I told her
"What! No you can't-!" she tried to tell me however I cut her off
"you have no idea of my abilities, young lady" I told her in a voice too mature for my physical age "I'll handle this now go!" I stopped running and watched them continue on. Conjuring three more spears I watched as Kokabiel appeared from above.
"This is interesting …" he said as he floated a good three feet off the ground "Answer me something, Servant" he said the word with disdain and for some reason it caught my attention. "You are Human, yes?"
I nodded as a form of answer.
"Then why do you serve a pureblood Devil? Do you wish to be turned into one yourself? Or is she rewarding you handsomely?" he asked almost conversationally, I tilted my head a bit before deciding to answer
"I have no wish to be turned into a devil, I follow Master because she … called me nothing more, nothing less" it would be better if I hide the fact that I was summoned for as long as possible.
"So it's because she called-" he said the word with a tone that clearly states he doesn't believe me "–you and nothing else?"
"Nope, just that" I answered
"How boring and here I thought she somehow found you much like the Heiress Gremory keeps doing" Kokabiel answered in a mocking voice. It was at that moment that I felt two sensations one was Freed Sellzen with his [Excalibur Transparency] who tried to stab me in the back as he did with Griselda and the other was a very familiar sword flying –or spinning- towards me. I jumped and with two swift moves I caught the sword with a fully reinforced hand and smashed it to Transparency the Holy sword breaking it in the process. The Priest shouted in shock and obscenities were spoken meanwhile Kokabiel merely chuckled
"What is that sword? If it has the power to break two Excalibur fragments then it must be one of renowned name" he asked his voice no less conversational, as if the sword breaking was nothing more than a natural occurrence.
"It's a sword that symbolizes kingship" I answered simply, he raised his eyebrows before he turned to Freed
"Freed collect the fragments, we're leaving" he said before he turned his attention back to me "I assume you have no problem with that right – Servant? -" I definitely had no problem with that, especially since my circuits were starting to get sore from all those projections. Hey I'll fight if I have to but if the guy in front of me starts to get serious then nothing but my best weaponry will be able to take him down. And so as an answer to his question I shook my head. He eyed me his eyes showing an emotion not there while he was boasting.
"answer me Servant, what must one do if he knows his only path leads to his destruction and yet if he does not walk that path it will still lead to destruction?" he asked and for a moment I saw the Archer in red and black still ahead of me he looked at me with that damnable smirk I find myself doing more and more these days.
"I would choose the choice I would end up not regretting." I said and he smiled
"Thank you for answering my Question" and within moments they were gone. Sighing I started walking back to my home.
[A/N]:
YO! Sorry about not updating but I did say I was Updating by movements … well I got bored of that fast and just decided to update this as movement 2 Part 1 (so Technically still in movements –maybe-)
Note!
I am changing a few things about magic and other things please just follow along (quietly-?-)
And yes it's not a pure Fate Route as you have read
And also fight scenes are still hard to write (type?)
Oh and also about Saji and Shirou (you know the line and sword thing) … I'm explaining it in the future but not on this arc ..(I think)
Review:
Chapter 5:
The Rupture:
Shirou will be able to Project Divine constructs like [Ig-Alima] and [Sul-Sagana] however he won't be able to project them all into the real world (only in his reality marble).
HungrySnack:
Nope, it's just I hate small updates because it almost always ends in a boring part (or cliff hanger) –and yet I did the same in Fated Campione hahah- but I'm lazy and impatient so … yeah
SonatiShinonome:
Ahhm … the raynare (arc?) problem
Still thinking on a username
Which duel? And Riser can't just rush Shirou because while few in numbers Rias's peerage members are still top class.
Shade:
Thanks! And yeah I think after the next arc (I guess?) if I were to guess
OshiroNai:
Thanks!
Cloves:
Hahaha I actually wanted him to use that … but then the game would be over in minutes if not seconds
To the Guest who actually took the time to explain Grammar …
Thank you very much (to you and others who've reviewed that) –insert bow of thanks-
You even put in examples and that must've cost quite an amount of time …
So sorry but I'm just too lazy to recheck my work after initial (after a skim check).
Though if someone wants to beta the chapter I have the files ready for upload :P
By the way here are a few ideas for FF I've had
· * Your lie in April and Fate Stay/night or Apocrypha: where Kousei will accidentally summon modred
· *And the fanfic Deprived by The Crimson Lord crossover with Fate Kaleid Shirou -Miyu's brother takes the place of Harry and before he becomes a mercenary / protector / body guard he goes through what happened in the movie (actually I've written the start of this … it's actually what kept me from updating this FF because my mind kept on going back to this FF and …
·* Boku no hero no Academia where Shirou ends up with Jirou Kyouka (Best, Best Best Girl!)
Anyway That's all for now!
