Chapter 8: The Terror of the Rockys
Where we last left off, Arthur has defeated the brainwashed Motoyatsu and Raphtalia has matured. After the duel, Arthur falls asleep on Raphtalia's lap and dreams of his past.
van Buren Shelter, 2045
In one part of the old van Buren Shelter in the Rocky Mountains, Arthur is bedroom with his mother sitting next to him while he is ready to fall asleep. His mother, Maria van Buren, is a tanned skin woman that is half Hispanic and half Japanese ancestry and was once a brilliant biologist before the apocalypse. She has black hair and hazel eyes while wearing her linen blue pajamas.
"Listen very carefully, Arthur." Maria says to her son. "Pretty soon, you will get some more 'special enhancements' on your eighth birthday. Soon, you and your sister will be able to survive in the new world and will be able to save people."
Little Arthur asks with a smile on his face, "Like superheroes?"
Maria chuckles a little. "Yes, like superheroes. Once we get things ready and when you're old enough, you will be able to help everyone that needs saving. Plus when you turn twelve, you get to have the Spider-man gene like your sister is gonna have."
"Yay!"
Woods near the van Buren Shelter, 2049
It was a clear day up in the Rocky Mountains at that time. Arthur decided to go out into the woods and gather a few twigs, sticks, and any fallen branches that can be used to kindle firewood or make into charcoal. He was only 10-years-old when doing this little chore and was happy. However, when he was coming back, he notice a lot of smoke is happening at the encampment. Arthur drops everything and sprinted straight towards the smoke. He runs and runs until he comes the encampment his family has built and it is completely and totally trashed. The cabin is burning to the ground, the solar blade windmills wrecked and set a blaze, and the farms have been pillaged with all the crops stolen. Luckily, the shelter itself is intact. Arthur try to find clues on what happened until he found a set of tire tracks. Multiple tire tracks. Arthur follows the tracks and noticed the tracks are heading east.
And so, despite haven't been fully trained on how to drive, he takes The Pendragon and flies off. He takes a 'tracker' with him because he and his sister were given special tracking devices implanted on their heads in order to ensure that he and his sister won't disappear. But the most difficulty for Arthur at that time is, 'How the hell do you pilot this thing?'
Nighttime - Near the Bandit Camp
Arthur manages to fly close to a bandit camp due southeast. It was a difficult flight but managed to reach the pedals by strapping some bricks to his feet. Arthur gets down on the ground and crawls his way through the bushes. He stealthly crawls on his belly closer and closer to the bandit camp and it looks pretty shabby. The place has crappy defenses with crudely placed log walls being held together by barbed wire, a watch tower made of cars that are just piled on top of each other; some rickety sheds and huts that are made of planks, metal sheets, a few car parts, and whatever the hell people can find that are use as houses. There is a garage made of boulders that are just stacked together with some rotting pallets, metal sheets, and a few logs. There is also a moat that goes around the bandit settlement that have some corpses in it rather than water. But Arthur slowly approach the settlement while disguised as a bush.
One of the lookouts in the tower (a badger mutant) looks at the bush and thought he saw something. "Has that bush always been there?" he asks.
A female human bandit says while cleaning her varmint rifle, "Just your imagination."
The badger lookout look away and Arthur continues to sneak in. While the guards aren't looking, Arthur carefully climbs down the moat which is at least 25 feet deep. When he climbed down, he came across a disturbing discovery while down there with a lighter. Despite the horrible smell, he saw something that has terrified him for life. What he see is the mangled and chopped up corpses of his family. His mother, father, and sister are reduced to pieces in a gory display. Arthur is so terrified that he dropped his lighter and unable to scream. The sight is so horrific that he is unable to scream while he drops to his knees with his hands on his head while completely scared out of his mind. So frighten to the point that his hair turn white because of the Marie Antoinette Syndrome.
After he's done being terrified, he is filled with rage as he slams his left fist into the ground.
'They will pay.' Arthur angrily thinks to himself. 'They will all pay! Mother says that sis and I are gonna save everyone, but this world isn't worth saving! These people are no better than the monsters that plague this world. And they. Will! PAY!' Arthur's eyes start to become more like that of a cat while filled with anger and hatred towards the bandits with some tears streaming down his face.
Back on the lookout tower, the woman bandit finishes cleaning her varmint rifle and reattach the scope. "There. Now that's a good clean gun." She looks over at the badger, "Say, I have been thinking..." But the badger bandit is no longer there. "Roger?" She looks around and couldn't find him. "Roger?" She then looks down from the tower, "Did you sneak off to get more be-" SHANK!
A rusty, old harpoon was fired at the woman's forehead and falls off dead. Arthur then starts looting the dead bandits for any weapons he can use. He looted the varmint rifle, two fragmentation grenades, a few bullets, a silencer, and Smith & Wesson 9mm pistol. Arthur then sneaks up on a lizard mutant and stabs it with a rusty machete that he found right through the skull. Then proceeds to raid an underground armory after killing a few of the guards with the silenced 9mm. He took a flamethrower, some rope, a few knives, and even found some napalm grenades.
One of the lizard mutant's kids started to show-up in the armory while saying, "Daddy? Are you here?"
Arthur hides from the child's line of sight as the child comes down. Once the child reached the bottom step, he shot the child with the same pistol. The child falls down dead with Arthur having no remorse or guilt when he left the armory. To him, they are all guilty of killing his parents no matter their age, gender, human or mutant. Arthur is full of rage and hatred to the point that he doesn't care about anything but to kill all the bandits. What happen next is that he butcher all the bandits and their families before setting their settlement a blaze. Then he comes across the bandit leader, a human with a blood-dyed mohawk, as Arthur cripple the leader's legs and arms. That and cut off the guy's eyelids.
"Why?!" the bandit leader cried out. "Why are you doing this?!"
Arthur grabs the leader's mohawk and drags him towards the hut where the leader's family is hiding. Arthur kicks down the door where a frighten woman is along with three children.
"What are you doing!?" the bandit leader starts to show fear.
"Payback." Arthur answers. Arthur points his new 9mm gun at one of the children and kills them with a single headshot.
The woman screamed but Arthur kills all four of them right in front of the bandit leader. The bandit leader is completely horrified of what happened to his family.
"You want to know why I am doing this." Arthur says while giving the bandit leader a menacing glare. "Because you took everything from me. So how does it feel to have all that you love taken from you?"
"Wait, you mean-"
"Yes. You killed my family earlier today and took everything. Now you know what it feels like to have everything you love taken from you." Arthur then gives a menacing grin, "So tell me, what's it like to have everything you love taken?"
The bandit leader starts to shed tears in realization of everything that has happen. "Then...kill me."
Arthur drags the leader out of the house before using a napalm grenade to burn the house. Then drops the bandit leader on the ground.
The bandit leader cries, "Just kill me! It is my punishment for not killing you!"
"But I'm not the one who is gonna kill you." Arthur points his finger to the left, "It's theirs."
The bandit leader turn his head and sees a horde of cannighouls slowly approaching him. Arthur then walks away, leaving the bandit leader to his fate. With the leader about to be eaten, he pleaded for his life as the cannighouls started munching on the guy.
The leader cried out, "CHOKE ON THEM! CHOKE ON THEEEEMM!" Just like the Captain Rhodes from Day of the Dead 1985 film.
But Arthur just walks away.
Yellowstone National Park, 2050
A year has past since Arthur discovered his bloodlust. From then on, he continued to wipe-out every bandit clan or tribe that he can find and tore them all to pieces down to the last child and use their corpses as scarecrows as warnings to all bandits that are close to his home. Stories about a white, humanoid monster that have been killing bandits spread like wildfire among all the other bandits and raiders. But Arthur wasn't satisfied with just defending his home. His bloodlust had led him to what remains of Yellowstone National Park. Once it was a national park that was full of trees that are set a blaze in order for the soil to become fertile. The place was a tourist attraction with boiling hot springs, geysers, and wild American bisons. Unfortunately, after the apocalypse, the place is now a volcanic wasteland with geothermal activity reach a fever pitch with a few volcanoes spewing lava from the underground magma chamber. The place is covered in sulfur and obsidian badlands, boiling hot springs that can kill anything within seconds, sulfuric gases that poison many areas of the land, and the heat from all this prevents trees and plants from growing. Whatever was left of the great Yellowstone Forest is now reduced to deadwood and kindling. Even some of the animals have mutated in order to withstand such a horrible place.
However, there are a few bandits that manage to live in this death trap and they are Arthur's new targets.
Yet deep below in an underground cavern, Arthur is chained-up with his hands cuffed and left to hang from the ceiling with only a pair of torn-up jeans that are reduced to shorts. Despite being immune to all form of sharp objects due to his mutated skin, he was not immune to searing hot metal touching his skin. Arthur has a few burn marks on his back from hot pokers during his torture for the past three days while left alone in a dark, cavernous room with the only light coming from the other side of the bars of his cell from a brazer that has hot metal pokers at the ready.
On this day, a woman dressed in leather wrappings and wearing a makeshift gas mask that covers her face. The woman appears to be human in shape but hard to tell if she is human or mutant. She opens the cell door and approach Arthur. "You're a tough one, aren't ya." the woman speaks in a half-crazed tone of voice. "Comin' round here and try to kill us all."
She take a closer look at Arthur, who looks like he is asleep.
"Hey, ya wouldn't have to be the Rocky Mountain Terror, are ya?" The woman then lifts his head to get a better look. "Ya do appear white enough. Not to mention have harden skin. But ya're not a wendigo because those things eat humans. Ya don't seem to." She turns around to face a table full of torture tools that look bent out of shape. She approach the table to see what she can use while inspecting them. "Burnin' is nice, but gets a bit borin' if you know what am sayin?" The mad woman turn around to see her victim, but Arthur has disappeared. "What the-?"
Arthur snuck up behind her and twist her head off. Then he proceeds to rip out her spine before grabbing the keys in her pocket to get his chains off. What happens next is that he use the broken tools as his weapons as he proceeds to kill all the bandits in the area. While there, he manage to get himself a gas mask that he later use. But the main reason he came to this hell is because of the sulfur. Sulfur is one of the three key ingredients in order to make gunpowder along with charcoal and potassium nitrate. In order to get nitrate, he also need sulfuric acid and lime (saltpeter). Luckily, he has plenty of lime back at the mountains. With all that in hand, he is able to make his own ammunition and explosives. He learned all that from his mother, a few books, and some tips from the anime, Dr. Stone.
Rocky Mountains, Same Year
Arthur continues his bloody rampage and man slaughter towards all bandits. While doing so, he came across another bandit settlement that seem to have a more Japanese look to it with the bandits wearing samurai armor and traditional Japanese clothing. But these clothes are worn and have a lot of patches on them. There are heads of their victims on pikes all across the cobblestone wall with their corpses used to decorate the wall as well in order to keep people out. There is a reason why he came to the Ronin Bandit Tribe settlement. Last year, his father had two katanas that he had on him at all times. The first katana was a gift from the United States Air Force base in Okinawa while the other was a souvenir and both are taken and sold to the Ronin for some ammo. However, Arthur has a plan.
Later in the afternoon, one of the human guards noticed something while patrolling the walls. He sees a small box full of un-open sodas just sitting in the middle of the road. The guard looks confused with a box of sodas just sitting there.
"What's wrong?" one of the other guards asks.
"There's a box of sodas just sitting there. Did anyone leave that behind?"
The other guard looked over and sees the box. "Not sure. There wasn't any raids today." He is just as unsure as the guard that spotted it. "But we should check to see if they are legit. That, and I'm kinda parch."
"We should get those to the bo-, I mean, shogun as soon as we can though. He would have our heads if we don't offer some of those to him."
Four of the guards went to the gate to open it and approach the box with caution. One of them use a makeshift spear which is a broomstick with a knife attach to it to see if there are any traps. So far, there isn't any as such as the spear guard can find while the other three look around to see if there is anyone skulking about. However, Arthur manages to sneak in in broad daylight via a grappling hook made of the blades of hedgers. He climb the way up to the wall and quickly removes the grappling hook before anyone notices.
Inside the settlement's walls, there are actually decent houses that are similar to the Japanese houses during the Sengoku Period yet given a bandit make-over. Many of the citizens are force to work themselves to death under their samurai overlords that oversee all of the operations from blacksmithing to carpenting to mining rocks in a cave. There are some degree of farming here as well with rice being the main source of grain. However, there is a lack of manpower in order to maintain everything in this settlement. So in order to do that, they capture anyone that they come across and take everything from their raids. Everyone is force to wear Japanese clothing from the Sengoku Period as well along with some hairstyles from that period. Here in this settlement, there is an oligarchy. The ones in the top are the raiders themselves that watch anime and keep the manga and technology all to themselves. Everyone else below is stuck doing all the work in miserable conditions using only hand tools along with no access to any form of technology.
Arthur scales the walls and stays on the rooftops in order to stay out of sight along with hiding under some of these homes since these are traditional Japanese homes (shabby as they are), they have those areas under the houses where people can crawl in and out of. (Which I don't know what it is actually call. Is it a Neda or Dodai-ishi?) Anyway, Arthur continues to follow the guards carrying the box of sodas all the way up towards a smaller version of a Japanese castle that is still under construction. There are more guards here and Arthur notice that there ninjas crawling all over the place. Still, he manage to get in while avoid detection. The guards with the sodas made their way to the throne room, which is almost an exact replica to the one in Osaka Castle with many katanas that are used as decorations or trophies. On the throne is someone that looks similar to the Kitsune yokai from many animes with human-like feature but has ears and tails (three of them) of a fox yet is behind a white curtain that people can see the silhouette of this so-called shogun.
"My lady," one of the guards gives a polite tone, "we found this box of sodas just outside the gate. It might be a peace offering or something that may have been dropped."
The shogun speaks in a gentle yet authoritative tone of voice, "Oh really? Is there any Pepsi or Dr. Pepper among them?"
The guard look down to see if there is any. "It appears that there is one of each. There is even Hawaiian Punch."
Arthur is hiding under the window of the throne room and awaits for his little 'surprise'.
"Now that is peculiar." the fox shogun is suspicious. "Have they been tampered with?"
The guard place the box down and does a thorough inspection and doesn't seem to have any markings, holes or any other signs of tampering. "No, they look legit."
The shogun raises her hand, "I would like to have the Pepsi, please?"
"Yes ma'am!" Like a good soldier following orders, the guard goes behind the curtain and gives her the soda.
But once she opens it...BOOM! This was the first successful test of Arthur's soda bombs. The window where Arthur was hiding was blasted away and some of the wooden structuring is caught on fire. Alarms have been rung throughout the settlement as smoke can clearly be seen from the...'commoner' area. Some of the guards in the room were blown away from the force of the explosion as Arthur springs into action as he takes back his father's swords from the wall. Some of the guards started to get back up when they finish processing what has happen. Arthur takes the katanas and slice down all the guards that are starting to get back up. Arthur can hear a bunch of guards running down the halls. Arthur takes some of the soda bombs and toss one of them that is halfway open like a grenade. Some of the guards come bursting in before the grenade explodes.
With some of the guards out of the way, Arthur lunges at some of the survivors and continues his bloodsheding terror against the bandits. He spins, slices, and eliminate anyone that gets in his path. Even use some of the soda bombs to reduce the number of guards. Arthur rampage through all the guards and ninjas throughout the incomplete palace while using up all of his soda bombs to punch through all the large number of troops in his way. All the 'servants' manage to break free from all the chaos and confusion.
Outside the castle, with many troops heading towards the castle, the so-called, commoners, started to rebel en masse as they use makeshift weapons to fight against their oppressors. They raided the warehouses that have all the technology and anime that there is along with some guns, bullets, gunpowder, chemical weapons, and even manage to get their hands on a tractor with a plow attach to it.
Back in the castle Arthur is now in a heated battle against a mutated creature that they have as a guard dog. It is a mutated version of a gila monster that is over 30 feet long with spikes on its back and horns on its head as well as its fatty tail covered in armor. Its claws are sharp, its mouth is full of sharp teeth with a strong jaw like an alligator, a long tongue covered in venomous drool, radioactive blood and even have the ability to shoot flammable poison like a cobra. This monster is a Gila Dragon. One of the most fearsome predators in the new apocalyptic world. Despite that, Arthur is ready to fight with all his might against such a beast. The monster spits its venom at Arthur yet Arthur charges at it while avoiding all the poisonous spit aiming right at him. Despite being chained, the monster tries to attack Arthur with a swing of its tail. Yet Arthur manages to dodge it by jumping from wall to wall before slicing the thing. Arthur cleans the blood off his weapon by swinging his sword as the radioactive blood is splattered onto the ground. The head of the Gila Dragon didn't fall until Arthur sheath his swords like a badass samurai looking guy does in those movies and video games.
Arthur leaves the burning, incomplete castle through the front gate and is greeted with the people who are now free of their oppressive overlords. The people were shock to find that their liberator and savior is an eleven-year-old with cold and menacing emerald eyes with burnt marks on his body and hair white as a ghost. Some people think that he is the 'Terror of the Rocky's' that they heard so much about. Either way, the people thank him for freeing them.
'Thank you?' Arthur thinks to himself after hearing the people thanking him. 'Everyone here is...thanking me?' Arthur is unable to process such things like gratitude. Before everyone celebrated, he disappear from sight.
van Buren Shelter, Sometime Later...
Somewhere in the woods close to his home, Arthur is walking down a dirt path that leads towards three marked graves. Arthur is full of sorrow as he kneels down.
"Hey everyone." Arthur says to the graves. "I'm home. Sorry it's been awhile. Things...have become complicated. For over a year now, I have been...taking care of some problems. It's complicated. But I did some good. A few less worries about people killing each other and...people actually thank me." Arthur takes a deep inhale and exhale through his nostrils. "Well...this whole time that I have been angry and lost control. So I took it out on every bandit that there is and...things got complicated." Arthur sniffles a little. "Look. I did some bad things with my anger and couldn't control it. I just didn't know what to do with that anger and let out all my frustration out on all the bandits that come across my path. Thinking that this world isn't worth saving. But after what happened when I got dad's swords back, people thank me." Arthur has his head down as he grit his teeth and about ready to cry. "And now...I don't know what to do. I just...can't...process these feelings. Please. Help me. I don't know what to do. I wish you are here right now. Please? What am I supposed to do?"
As Arthur is about to burst into tears, a hand is placed on his left shoulder. Arthur looked up to his left and sees a very familiar figure through his somewhat blurry vision caused by his tears. It is Gwen, his older sister.
"Gwen?" Arthur's expression went from sorrowful to surprise when he sees his sister. "Is that you?"
Gwen smiles at him, "Not really. But I am here for you now. I'm gonna help you deal with all of your emotions and help you cope with everything that you are experiencing." Gwen gets down on her knees and gives Arthur a hug.
Arthur starts to cry as he hugs his imaginary sister who is acting as a coping mechanism for him.
A few days later...
In the shelter, Arthur is all dressed-up in his cowboy outfit along with wearing a brown toupee and colored contact lenses. He walks towards the living room where Gwen is sitting on the couch.
He shows-off his cowboy outfit, "How do I look?"
"Cowboys? Seriously?" Gwen isn't impressed.
"Oh come on! This is loosely based on the Red Dead Redemption games and I like those games. Plus this is technically the new Wild West now so, why not?"
Gwen gives a disapproval sigh but goes along. "Alright. You do have some good points there, but still."
"Shall we be off." Arthur is eager and raring to go. "We got more bandits to put down, people that needs saving, and some of mankind's knowledge that needs to be save." Arthur shows his invention on his arm.
"What's that?"
"This is a Linker. With this device, I can store any number of information from any computer device and are stored..." he pulls out a pod-shaped device from his pocket, "on this. This is a datapod. So that way we can store all information on these things and store them in the computer." He puts his datapod away and is heading out. "Now come on! We got a world that needs help. This new world is worth saving...mostly."
Present Day, In Another World
The sun rises in the horizon over Melromarc with Arthur still sleeping on Raphtalia's lap. Yet Arthur slowly start to wake-up and takes a good look around until he sees Raphtalia's face.
"Oh..." he speaks in a groggy voice, "Good morning."
"Good morning, Arthur. Sleep well?"
"I think I did. But what about you?"
"I'm fine." Raphtalia pets Arthur's head. "In fact, I feel great."
Both of them are on the castle walls a little later as they talk with Gwen watching them. Arthur looks at Raphtalia and still finds it hard to believe that the little raccoon girl is all grown up.
"Hey, Raphtalia?" Arthur speaks to Raphtalia.
"Yes?"
"Is that really you?"
"Of course it's me. I may have a grown-up body but my mind is still that of a child."
Gwen says to Arthur, "I thought I already told ya?"
Arthur says to Raphtalia, "But you look like you could be my older sister."
Raphtalia blushes a little, "Really?"
"I'm right here!" Gwen angrily points out.
"Oh here!" Raphtalia gives Arthur a sandwich. "I threw this together from some of the leftovers from the castle's kitchen."
Gwen is holding one of the sandwiches, "Yeah, they're good."
Arthur accepts the sandwich and takes a bite out of it. Once he's done chewing and swallowing, he says, "This is actually tasty."
Raphtalia appreciates that, "I'm glad to hear it."
But Arthur starts to look serious while looking at Raphtalia. "Hey, Raphtalia. There is something I would like to discuss."
"Hmm?"
"I would like to tell you everything about me. My whole life, the world that I'm from, everything. I'm done hiding secrets. But no matter what you hear, will you promise me that you'll still be my sister?"
Raphtalia smiles at Arthur, "But of course. I promise no matter what it is that you have to say, I will still be your little sister. That and I did promise to be your sword."
Gwen says to Arthur, "By the way, I have something to tell you once you are done. It's about this world and my theories about that old woman that gave us the book."
Arthur smiles after hearing that Raphtalia will stay by his side and sigh in relief. But he is also interested in hearing what Gwen has to say. "Very well. Let's start from the beginning."
AN: I GOT IMPORTANT NEEEEEEWWWSS! It has been confirmed that there is gonna be a season 2 & 3 of The Rising of the Shield Hero! I don't know when is season 2 but it is in production right now!
Also I do apologize for being late because things have been crazy at work due to a computer glitch and we had to do some files again before the due date. Plus with the holidays coming up, expect new chapters to appear slowly overtime due to work. Also the polls are still up with two in a tie and two with no votes. But here is some idea on what these stories are along with the titles.
Sword Art Online: Holy Grail Wars - SAO x Fate - A new VRMMO Game has appeared on the dark web that sends out invitation to have players participate in a tournament to have their deepest desires granted called, The Holy Grail Wars. When the tournament starts, the participants disappear from reality with six out of seven of them reappear dead in a gruesome manner and the winner's wish is granted no matter how impossible. The United Nations believe that there is some new form of technology that is capable of manipulating reality itself and are gonna send in a squad with members from different nations joining in. But they need an expert. That's where Kirito comes in.
Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Saiba Yukihira - Food Wars x Restaurant to Another World (with some Toriko) - In this story, Tamako Yukihira died in an accident before Soma was born. Joichiro Yukihira sank deep into depression until an old friend from his journeys help him get back on his feet after being recruited by the JSDF to run a restaurant in the secret Special Region. A world full of magic and mystery. That is when he found love again with a kitsune yokai adventurer that has been going to a continent that has natural features, beasts, and plants based-off of Toriko. Later, they have a child name Saiba Yukihira, a half-human half-kitsune chef. However, Saiba Yukihira is being sent to the toughest cooking school in all of Japan, Totsuki Culinary Academy. Will Saiba be able to bridge human cuisine with that of the Special Region with his cooking skills? Will it be enough to impress the God Tongue, Erina Nakiri?
Dr. Stone's Bizarre World - Dr. Stone x X-overs -This is a crossover between Dr. Stone, IS: Infinite Stratos, A Certain Scientific Railgun, Tokyo Jungle, a little bit of 7 Seeds, Elex, and Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls. In this world, it has become more female dominate before the apocalypse came. Senku, Taiju, and Yuzuriha are friends with Tsukasa in this world thanks to a mute, foreign transfer student from England name Jason Evans. As you expect, some sort of light has turn everyone into stone. Not just humans but all forms of sentient life. Senku and friends try to rebuild humanity through the power of science while trying to fend off against a faction of people who prefer might and magic and another that prefer to keep this world as it is. So it is a three way war between the Kingdom of Science, the Empire of Mysticism, and the Kingdom of Stone. Plus here, Senku is a closet racist towards the monster girls. The reason being is because magic is illogical and not scientific.
Fate/Parallel War -Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya x Fate series - The Holy Grail has developed a will of its own in the form of Adam Crowley Grail, but prefer to be called, Mr. Grail. A villain that has gone around different parallel worlds to have characters from different Fate series to participate in the Parallel Holy Grail War. Illya and crew are forced to join in the most..."acceptable way" as a person could be. The event of which the Parallel Holy Grail War is is at Romania just like Fate/Apocrypha and follows the similar rules to Fate/Apocrypha. But will Illya and those close to her (that do know about magic) be able to survive?
Also, the polls end on November 16th. So go ahead and vote before then!
