Howl of the winds tore through Fuyuki, along with the rumbles of thunder and the skies themselves raging up above, but Erik did not care about this, he was more focused on the sight before him, one that took his breath away. The sight of the man who gave him his life back, brought purpose to the darkness that shrouded his path.
The blonde male gazing at the hands that he now held, closing and reopening them, like he was surprised to see himself back amongst the living. The vampire who would one day Ascend Heaven and take its throne for his own purpose. DIO.
" To be able to control and revive the dead freely and without the Power of a Stand. Ho, seems that this world has changed in the small time of my death. Jotaro Kujo, for him to have bested me by destroying THE WORLD, that is the kind of luck I shall not have happen again." DIO was looking upon Erik before a soft smile came onto his face. " Though to see that you have ascended up the ranks and are now the head of the CIA, that I am most impressed with,."
'T-thank you so much, Lord DIO, oh to have you back amongst us, is so glorious!" Scathach watching not only Erik but all the agents in this darkly lit room bowing to this man, just what hellish Charisma did this monster hold.
" I am glad that you have reobtained your Master, let this be a sign of our allyship in taking down the other Masters and gaining the Grail. Enjoy your time with your Lord. There are things I must attend to in this storm." Zero's gaze looked upon DIO, a great evil that arose from hell with sheer ease thanks to the man's ability to revive the dead. " For I have another friend of yours to revive to bring an end to Icrim."
Zero's footsteps could be heard leaving the room, as DIO's eyes shone in the darkness. " Icrim...in my time in hell, I have heard of him. A Legendary Demon Hunter blessed by a Phoenix's grace. Erik. Before I face Jojo, I shall be taking him on." The Shock on Erik's face was quickly subsided when DIO silenced him with his hand. " The Powers of a Phoenix on a vampire's body, is astronomical, like gaining a runner's high after a 10 mile run. If I were to obtain his blood, who knows how much stronger not only I, but THE WORLD would become. But, I need to recoup, my body is still not fully recovered."
DIO wasted no time in heading to the back of the room and into a windowless bedroom where his coffin remained. " We'll take of the other masters and be sure to to leave Icrim and Kujo to you, Lord DIO. Rest and your grand battles will come!"
Zero could hear them in the hallway, all while his eyes focused on the mystic door that led underneath the Manor's depths, where another evil was resting, ready for battle.
For where the new base of the CIA was, the Caster of Darkness and Her Master lie underneath.
" A Servant has fallen, now is the time for fun to begin. Come Master, lets go say hi, to the masters of this Chaotic War." The Master of Caster simply smiled, before the two vanished into the darkness, ready to make themselves known.
Back at the Icrim Abode...
Chaldea Security Organization ( Fate Grand Order)
And his hand gently moved along his chin while sitting down before Goredolf in a tea room. " Didn't expect you wanted to have a 1 on 1 about the current circumstances but I am aware you wish to have questions asked that I might have answers to."
And Goredolf seemed to be wary of this at all, not because of the man around them but the violent, whipping storm outside of their windows. Magus he might be, humans are still very much at the mercy of Mother Nature's storm. " Yes, I would, like to go over some things that you read in our documents to be caught up on what me and the other world's Master of Chaldea went through. And to get some answers on a certain, Servant class that has been quite, troubling."
Romani and Da Vinci were listening in through the comms but aware that any future info involving their fates would be blurred from their ears. " Well, makes sense, knowing what happens to us in the future would get us into trouble but him saying that it wouldn't make a difference because of how much has changed, I wonder what info will be left out from us." Romani's lips gently took in the coffee that was brewed as the Chaldea crew listened in.
" You mean the Foreigners. We will get to them later, I just had to verify what you said about the former master is true, correct?" Ziden asked while looking down at the folders before him. " Fujimaru Ritsuka. A man with the lowest aptitudes in any of your mages but his aptitude for commanding servants is absurd. Capable of forging bonds with servants to the point some have even fallen for him. Had I not had your own personal recount of this. I would have outright called this a weird fanfiction for an unimpressive young man to gain the respect of so many servants, be they evil or good."
Mash and Sanae were eavesdropping against the door, listening in. She remembered Romani speaking about a Ritsuka that was supposed to be at Chaldea but since the A team was active, Ritsuka was essentially a back up Master for Ziden.
" Yes, it is quite strange how he was able to do that, but he was a remarkable young man with a heart of gold and strength for going through the hells he walked through." Goredolf clearly had respect for the young man before Ziden placed his cup down.
" Yeah, looking over this file, I can safely say this about everything he had been through. This boy had the Luck of the Gods on his side, otherwise, over on this side, this kid would have been dead realistically by the %&%^&*^ Singularity. Especially with his Naïve mindset. Its good to be forgiving and believing, but realistically that kid would have been gutted alive for pulling that over here. Sometimes, you have to have an Iron hand and a compassionate one, especially with our main topic here."
And now Ziden was gazing down at the file on hand about Extra Class servants, namely looking over the Foreigner class. " Can we truly label that as luck? Well, there were lucky time-"
" Trust me, just from reading these files, its pure luck and random circumstances lining up for the young man perfectly, namely, how you had beings touched by and blessed with the powers of Outer Gods and Great Old Ones in your base and never once having an end of the world situation pop off immediately. Beings touched by Godlike beings so absurd that our world's Logic and Reason cannot be applied to them even remotely. If this world had been witnessed by the Balance." Ziden slams the folder down. " Chaldea would have immediately have been destroyed for harboring such monsters without having the actual proper means to handle them."
Goredolf flinched at that, he overheard the talk of the Balance keepers and their methods. " Our Magecraft could never verify if the Gods possessing them were even in existence, no matter how much Da Vinci or Sion tried, they just couldn't verify it."
" Of course not, like it has been stated before but your magic system is so far behind every other world that you had no possible way to find this out. But yes, those Gods beyond Reason and Logic are real, gone, but real due to an ancient war that happened in this world. Fragments of their existence can still influence and empower beings, but they themselves are long gone. No doubt their fingers have pierced into The Throne of Heroes at an attempt of revenge but considering I have been using your summon systems, there is a High chance these foreigners could materialize here, hence why you asked me about them, correct?"
Goredolf nodded at this, he was so different from Ritsuka, it was jarring. " C-correct, I just had to get answers due to what Romani told me, about how this is a world where fiction is reality, so we wondered-"
"Indeed, this world is well aware of them and they exist here. Many have been destroyed to only their concepts exist but linking to their power is still possible, reviving them, is still possible. Only through absurd powers that defy reason can they be beaten back. But to answer you, if Foreigners find their way to this Chaldea, I will keep an eye on them. But thank you for making me aware of this class of servants."
" Of course, we are comrades after all now, you might not be Ritsuka but I am sure like him, you will do good by these servants." Goredolf does look a bit downtrodden after saying that.
"...Ritsuka and your world's Mash aren't truly gone you know, they are likely simply trapped in Void."Goredolf's eyes began to shine at this new information he got. " Not, void space, I should clarify."
" Wait, not Void Space, but I thought-"
" Void Space is merely a tiny, lifeless husk that you guys used to Zero Sail, you had not entered the true Void, where nightmarish life truly teems and that is where your world and allies lie. The Void, a massive space between certain universes. Things that are removed from existence, find themselves trapped there, normally on their world or ending up in the ever expanding Town Lost to Time. But, the only way to restore it, would be the beat down the being that sent them there."
" Then that means, you would have to destroy that time god for my world to return?" Goredolf asked while Ziden nodded. There was a silence that followed as Ziden watched the man gently placed his hands on the table, clenching his hands until his knuckles turned white. " I...just don't get it. Out of everyone there, why was I the one spared from that monster's rampage on my world. Ritsuka...even though he shouldn't be forced to go through another one of these hells...he should be here and not his commander that did nothing but led him into his traumatic battles."
Ziden, could say nothing to this. " Fate...is a unique thing, if something above or below saved you. and thought to bring you here, it means you must have a reason to be here that Ritsuka didn't have. From what I know of you Goredolf, you have a higher chance of living through whatever hell I must walk to bring back the past of your world, and its future. I will not tell you erase the burden in your heart. Keep it close, accept it. Because I swear." Ziden soon stands up. " I will do whatever it takes to bring your world back from Zenovia's destruction. No matter the cost."
The choking tears that came from the man's eyes, caught Ziden's as he gazed down at the folders before him. Abigail Williams, Hokusai, Clytie Van Gogh, even De Molay held Gods he was aware of or Encountered. But his eye focused on BB, someone who somehow bonded with Nyarlathtep.
' The Nyarlathotep on that world must be one hell of a fraud. Bonded together by their mutual love of humanity? No, he despises us and enjoys our suffering, even enjoys destroying anything connected to us. They must have had some vile plan for that world. But what."
Lost in his thoughts, the male soon leaves the grieving man to let it all out as he moves back to the living room, listening to the whipping and crackling of the storm before him. Soon gazing to the Servants before him.
" You all ready for this? This is gonna be your first times battling in extreme conditions, isn't it?" Ziden asked while gazing at Medusa who was fiddling with her outfit, looking at the glyphs on her outfit to stop rain from slugging it down. Along with Mash who decided to go with a rain coat on.
Reimu and Sanae themselves just decided long rain coats over their clothes would be enough and Artoria and Mordred would be joining them for this. With Rin standing by and looking over Artoria.
With how Shirou was injured, it seemed that the contract between Artoria and Shirou was cleanly destroyed, and Rin took over as the Master of Saber. " The rest of you should stay here, keep an eye on Shirou. When he comes to, he's gonna need some explaining."
Sisigou was fiddling with the comms in his ear before gazing down at the large laptop Yukari had that allowed them to survey the servants during the raid on the base, and now they would be using it in the middle of a Hurricane.
" Taking down Dr Venom and Achilles is gonna be no Small task. So what is the plan for the servant?" Sisigou wondered while Ziden slapped his arms.
" Me and Medusa will take on and distract Achilles, from what I hear, he likes a good fight so I can keep him busy while you guys take down Venom." Ziden said while placing his hands in his pockets.
" It will be a difficult challenge but I believe we can manage it." medusa seemed ready as Kirby and his allies seemed ready.
" And I will be helping Kirby and friends take down Kracko! As a Maiden of Wind, I would be best suited to help against a giant cloud monster right?" Sanae, had, for once, a good point, she would be a good aid.
" I doubt any other masters will be active during the storm but nonetheless, we should be careful,. I don't wanna have to fight more than I have to." And Reimu taps her shoulder with her gohei. " Already gonna need a hot bath by the time this is over to not catch a cold. Lets just hope this doesn't get messy. We already got an Injured Shirou and a worrywart student upset that he is injured, so lets not add to that mess."
" Yeah, lets get dis mess ova with so I can come back here and watch more of these Soap Operas, definitely gonna need to get Cappy town to catch up on how good the Earth has it!" Dedede hefts that massive hammer over his shoulder and soon standing in the foyer as Ziden headed to the door with Mash.
" No portaling, we're gonna have to fight through this storm and sneak attack Venom's base. He won't be a tough fight, I reckon." Ziden's hand gripped onto the doorknob. " Gradius' final bosses are almost always pitiful anyways' And swings it right open, the wind and rain bellowing into the home before everyone else leapt out into the weather, with the door snapping shut behind them.
Battle for Storm Hill (Donkey Kong Jungle Beat)
Flooded streets and rain hitting them sideways as the group made their way through the streets, goals set and minds focused upon the battles that would come ahead. Their direction and course set as they made their way through the streets and towards their fated battled.
Through wind and rain they soon reached it, an abandoned Factory for cars and locomotives, a place where the dead seemed to wander due to how cold it was in this area, the storm that raged around them and soon, the warm welcome they received from Dr Venom.
Blades drawn and striking at everything when the cores came to attack, cutting their way through the countless foes before they found themselves in the factory and soon before the man of the hour himself stood there before them. Around them were large, brown eyes gazing upon them, throbbing as they gazed upon them.
"...This isn't totally creepy at all. Alright Dr Venom, its over! if you surrender right now, we'll just toss you in a jail cell for the rest of your unlife! Cease your attempts for the grail!" Ziden was quick to draw his sword before seeing the man chuckling.
" Ah, humans, your tenacity always impresses me, in the hour before your doom. My Cores will not need to sully themselves in facing you. I shall destroy you myself." Lightning seemed to ripple from his body before darkness blasted them all out into the stormy area outside, causing them to skid along the ground.
"...It is here, above us!" Meta Knight gazed to the heavens to see the storm outright spinning around them, the wind surrounding the factory akin to being in the eye of the tornado, wind and rain hitting them far less now but above them they saw it, the massive Eye in the clouds with golden spikes coming out of the fluffy white material.
The darkness that bellowed out of the factory, revealed Dr Venom becoming what appeared to be a massive Brain with two eyes attached to it, the same form he took in Gradius V. All while Achilles stepped forward as Ziden, Mash and Medusa got ready to face him.
Kirby, Meta Knight, Dedede and Sanae focused on Kracko, while Reimu, Artoria and Mordred focused on Dr Venom, the grand battle has now begun!
Boss Battle (Kirby Triple Deluxe)
Ziden's arm immediately began to spark with the nanomachines on his jacket arm flipping out. " What the hell!?"
" I hope you enjoy my gift, human, I made that virus, just for your pesky machines!" Dr Venom's voice bellowed out of the factory as his nanomachines formed a large spear and tried to tear right through Ziden's skull, prompting him to barely dodge, watching the spear tear across his chin.
" Master!" Medusa was quick to try and help him, only for Achilles to cut right in, stabbing at Medusa with his lance.
" Sorry about that, but I am just a bit excited, facing the fabled Gorgon, I wonder if my legend would be improved if I were to take your head." And he was quick on his feet, stabs, thrusts and swings to continually force Medusa back, her chains swinging forth and clashing against his skin, unable to damage him even a little. " Heh, you got Divinity but unfortunately for you, its too low to bypass my Noble Phantasm!"
" !" Medusa was caught off guard by this but quick to recover, watching him race right up to her and swing a brutal strike at her jaw, which that snake like woman coiled around, gripped onto his arm and soon tossed him right off of the ground and soaring into a nearby cointainer, exploding right through it.
" And your Master, I know for certainly can't even bypass my defense, he can't even deal with his own problems right now!" And Achilles was right, considering countless spires were coming off of his jacket and piercing into his flesh with the Hero soon dashing to attack Medusa again while Ziden watches an odd butterfly slowly come down onto his arm and the heavy sense of bloodlust from two sources, from it. And from a source barreling right towards Achilles
" $&u$%&*&%*&$#(!" That absurd yell and the smash of a blade into a body that sent the servant flying through several containers, with blood draining down his weapon, seems he dealt damage through that defense of his, being the child of a Head God, no doubt meant he had enough divinity to bypass that defense of his. Ziden seeing that Heracles did come after all. Soon, the butterfly landed on his jacket sleeve and almost immediately, faded away into it, and watching the spikes fade away.
Meanwhile in the skies above, Dedede was already on the offensive, his hammer smashing into the eye of Kracko, causing it utterly spaz out from the impact while Sanae flew into the distance, trying to figure out a way to attack him. " Hmm, Wind and Rain isn't smart against a storm being, oh, how about!" And the glow of her Exsphere, magic began to flow through her. " Stardust!" A brilliant shower of stars rained down upon the cloud being, who immediately looked at her before firing a barrage of sharp raindrops at her. "YELP!" And she was quick to dive down as Meta Knight and Kirby weaved through the attacks with Wing and Warp Star in tow
Powerful impacts striking along the cloud being before it seemed to have entirely stopped, eyes wide for a mere moment after registering those hits. Romani watched this from Chaldea, wondering what it was doing. Dealing with Mystic beings was one thing but this was a living Weather phenomenon, figuring it out would be considerable tricky.
But Reimu and the others stood before Dr Venom, who was immediately taken down and back to his human form, bleeding and bruised. "Seriously? ya take that monstrous form and shit and then you end up biting the dust after 3 of our attacks!? What kinda alien are you!? I was expecting more!" Mordred was very disappointed, her armor's helmet coming off as she gazed down at the Doctor, bleeding down onto the floor.
" Hah...to think, you ruffians would be so monstrously strong, to destroy the culmination of our rage." Venom coughed up blood from the rather weak attacks that he suffered from the group.
" No, its more like you and your allies were, pitifully weak. Like, that was bad, even Cirno is tougher than this." And Reimu simply pointed her gohei at the male, but Artoria felt this odd sense of dread.
" Foolish, you beings are, if our form is too weak for you, thankfully, I brought a spare form. An Alien machine I brought with me as an insurance policy incase I failed in this war. You will learn of how Forceful I can be." And a large slot opened up on the floor behind him and a large, massive shadow came up from an elevator as the trio looked up at it.
" Sir Mordred, Lady Reimu. I do believe...we might have our challenge after all." And Artoria gripped her blade tight as Reimu sighed.
" i hate it when we Jinx ourselves into a hard fight."
And back outside, Ziden witnessed his arm finally calming down, the nanomachines in his jackets now back to normal. " Master, it seems that the virus has been beaten back and destroyed however, it seems that I have lost control of 50% of the systems your jacket connects to."
Ziden raised his brow at this. " What do you mean, 50% are not in your control, where is-"
" Why, they are in the ultra capable hands of your new and beloved Kouhai!" And a brand new voice caught Burroughs' attention, seeing a purple haired, busty woman soon appearing in the systems, smug as can be and wearing a skirt so short, it would be criminal.
" What- Excuse me, but this is most certainly not a place a rogue ai should be-"
Ziden watched this with a raised brow before realizing who this was. " You're BB...Goredolf me about a Mooncancer Servant that came and went as she pleased, guessing you survived the destruction of your world and escaped here."
Those words caught her eyes immediately, an unnormal amount of seriousness for BB before that smile appeared on her face. " Indeed, you would be correct, now, don't get me wrong, Hero boy. I am only doing this because my former master worked through horror and hell to save his world, so its only right that I help my new master, you, bring his world back so my second Senpai can be thankful to my third senpai. I might not care for humanity but seeing as I have read your file, I am curious to see how you do things compared to him."
In honesty, she only invaded his systems because it seemed fun and interesting, but Ziden was wary, he knew that she was dangerous in various ways but her having his systems meant, he can't boot her out easy. "...Fine then. No worries, I'll save your world and make sure your senpai can be brought back from the void. Get along with her Burroughs."
"...Very well, Master." Ziden's attention was snagged to the sight of Reimu, Mordred and Artoria being blasted out of the warehouse by a large explosion, the duo skating past him and landing before a large container, before looking at what blasted them out.
A towering red machine, of which bore an arm with a gun and a normal hand for grabbing foes, this machine, he knew it well from a past advenure. But without Dr Venom's face sticking out of it of the chest area. " Seven Force! A war Machine from a neighboring planet, I brought its remains with me to this world in case my plan failed. For if I failed, no reason to leave any other Master alive right!"
A ground shattering stomped caused the machine to stomp forward before everyone noticed the wind picking around them.
" Holy Moly! What is Kracko Doin!?" And Dedede screamed as he watched Kracko's cloudy body soon elongate and rapidly began to spin towards the ground, turning into a hellish twister that soon sucked countless, large chunks of rock into the air, airborne battle fields for the heroes to fight on, Ziden quickly fixed himself and transformed into a Kamen rider, just in time for Achilles to clash with him and force him back where Medusa was coming out of that container, with Round 2 of this battle ready to kick off.
Ruby Delusions (Sonic Mania)
The massive chunks that now spun around that tornado were causing the battle to be taken into the sky as Ziden watched Achilles soar out of the Container he was in and right at him. " Cute armor, human but that's not gonna help you against me!"
And a blade immediately forged into Ziden's hands and clashed against that spear of the Dark Rider, Ziden seeing that the wound Heracles inflicted on the man had already healed shut, causing his teeth to click. " So darkness Servants get to have healing and that nasty ability of his. Troublesome beyond belief."
Ziden was quick to move though, as bullets tore through the ground he was standing on, leaping through the air before landing next to Herc, who quickly clashed his blade with Achilles' weapon, the ground shaking from the blows before a quick riposte from Achilles tore that blade clean into Heracles' neck, severing flesh and muscle in mere instant with the strike of that spear.
The gurgles that came from Heracles was drowned out by the sheer howls of the wind, before the Berserker was smashed clean off of the platform by a massive container, leaving Ziden to quickly block a blow from the Darkness Rider. " Heh, think that cute armor is gonna help even the odds!?"
" It most certainly might and will!" And without missing a beat, a powerful fist slammed into the face of Achilles, his teeth shaking from the sheer force of the impact as he felt his skull shake from the force striking against him, his body sliding across the ground as Ziden quickly threw gloves towards the airborne Medusa that was coming in like a Missile. " Slap those on and let him have it!"
Without Missing a single beat, the gloves were placed onto Medusa, and she felt the magic flowing through them, her chained spikes slamming into the earth around where Achilles would slide to and slammed into his chest like a missile, the first blow she gave, didn't do anything to him. This second blow actually caused him to crunch into the ground, blood spilling from his mouth as the downed Heracles revived with one less life after that brutal strike.
Reimu and the knights were forced into ducking and weaving between shipping containers on their floating island while Reimu took the chance to fire at Seven Force whenever she got, her danmaku blasting into the armor with quite the effective amount of damage. " You insolent worms! Even Seven Force has trouble with you!? What even are you earthlings!?"
Mordred wasted zero time, red lightning arcing off of her blade when she leapt high into the air and came down onto his arm like a meteor, cleaving it clean off and slamming into the earth. " Perfect people to crush overly pompous shit heads like you!" Venom's annoyance bellowed from the machine as gears and metals began to shift as Mordred watched the normally green metal soon turn a bright red as a claw soon snatched her off the ground. " Wha!?"
" Sir Mordred!" Artoria wasted no time in leaping into the air with her sword drawn, soon finding herself staring down a large red mine that was flying towards her, the air rippling from the loud explosion in the sky.
Sanae found herself weaving and flying through countless ice shards, seeing her raincoat being sliced and diced by any she was grazing a little too closely too, allowing ice cold water to hit her body. " Come on come on, think think think!" An idea formed in her head as she flew right towards the Eye of Kracko. " Take this! Pow Hammer!" What she thought was gonna happen, was a massive, and strong hammer would strike down her foe.
What she got, was a red hammer that squeaked on impact against the eye of Kracko, who simply watched the hammer fall down into the winds of the Tornado raging around them. Before his eye looked back up at Sanae who seemed dumbfounded by the attack she just did. Its response? Was to rain down lightning on Sanae.
Not that Dedede let that happen with how fast he grabbed her out of the air and rolled along the ground. " What, da hell was that, girl!?"
" I thought a spell called Pow Hammer would be boom pow than a cutesy rubber mallet!" She was on the verge of crying from how useless that spell was, soon watching Meta Knight swooping right down and cleaving down through the eye of Kracko, causing mighty damage as Kirby was leaping down to the ground, vanishing into the storm below.
Ziden and Heracles fought back against Achilles, whose body was bellowing out Darkness with each strike he delivered, with flames and power matching against the ancient element's power,. with Ziden making sure to block against those darkened strikes, watching the impacts soon push him back, as Achilles brutally pierced through Heracles' body with that spear.
" I was right, so they can use the sub power of Darkness, Sealing. How troublesome." Ziden was tapping along the side of his blade, letting fire echo and dance along the blade before swinging it, creating a large blade of fire to shoot forth, causing the Rider to leap back, and right into Mash's shield to knock him skyhigh and a brutal Axe kick into the rider's face to smash him into the earth and through the floating platform.
Heracles' body was steaming from the impact, wounds that stuck in deep, 6 lives remained from this point and he was close to being at 5 from that deep assault into his being, the male soon standing up and soon letting out a bellowing roar, watching the Rider soon charge out of that hole and grabbing Medusa by her leg. '?!' Even under her visor, one could see the surprise on her face when Achilles grabbed her to the point she could feel her leg snapping and popping from the sheer grip he had.
" Go down, Medusa!" A strong throw to the platform sent her crashing down below, with Mash quickly moving along the ground to catch the Rider and minimize the damage using her shield before Ziden appeared behind the Rider, flames dancing along his blade and cleaving down into his back, staining his face red in blood from the slash and sending him flying right towards the Wounded Herc, whose blade was winded up. " don't think so!"
A spin of his spear and he did the unthinkable, he pierced right through the entirety of Heracles' chest like a darkness coated drill, landing on the ground and leaving a massive hole through him, the red glowing flesh of Heracles, turning a dull lifeless black before it surged back up and his chest healed itself back to normal with only 5 lives remaining after that impact, blood pooling down Achilles back as the wind seemed to be changing.
" Hmm?" Seven Force Venom had turned into what appeared to be a pinwheel and was clashing against Artoria and Mordred, pushing them back against the ground when he noticed something. " There is another source of wind against that Tornado?"
And that was when everyone noticed it. Even those back home.
" Way to go Kirby!" Illya's voice came right through their comms as they saw it, another massive tornado soon clashing right against Kracko's and on the ground was Kirby in Tornado form, clashing against Kracko. whose gaze now forced on trying to increase his winds against Kirby's.
" Sir Mordred! Now!" Without even hesitating, now releasing their mana at full force through their blades, blasting Venom off of them while Reimu watched this happen.
" Master! Its go Time!" Through the howling winds, Mordred's helmet began to unfold while her sword seemed to radiate Lightning as Venom shifted into Eagle form to fly away from them before the storm, lights dancing around his figure.
" On it, your majesty." A grip of his hand and the mana burned from him, a command seal leaving from his hand as Rin did the same, a single mark burning from her hand as the others watched.
" Heh, so the King of Knights and her son are going in, fine! I'm gonna wipe you all out myself." Darkness exploded from Achilles before a loud whistle tore through the skies and the sound of hooves could be heard as he took off into the distance as the wheels of a chariot could be heard rocketing through the air.
Ziden gazing down on their platforms to see light pouring from not only their floating grounds but the ground below them as well as he gazed to Artoria in the distance, finally seeing that blade revealing itself. Wind fading away to reveal the golden blade, born of the planet to protect against otherworldly invaders, just like the one that was their foe.
Ziden gazed back at Medusa, gazing at her shattered leg, the bone that was broken and shattered, piercing out of her flesh but yet she still stood there, even without eye contact, he knew. " Ready to release that Noble Phantasm thing, medusa? because its time to go all in!"
Under his armor, the Command spells glowed and he unleashed the power of his command seal to give Medusa that burst of power she needed, the blindfold upon her face melting and her eyes surging to life, blood that poured from her legs in droplets and formed a mystic circle before her. Ziden and Mash watching on in awe.
" Noble Phantasm!" Golden reins of a horse came through and she gripped onto them tight, leaping upon the horse, white lightning clashing around them as Ziden could see a green light in the difference. Achilles upon his famed Chariot that dragged the corpse of the famed hero, Hector.
" Come on, try to stop me! My chariot will run you down like a shooting star!" The waving green light in the distance soon moved in the symbol of Infinity, soon shooting forward like a shooting star.
" BELLEROPHON!" Causing the horse to rise up, and witnessing the wings of the beast come forth, Ziden and Mash watched her shoot forward like a shooting star as well, the male and female watching them slowly get closer to each other.
" Too late now! Troias Tragōidia!" Like a meteor he came down into Medusa's Noble Phantasm and they clashed, the air outright exploding apart from the impacts of the two warriors while seeming evenly matched.
" Impossible...I will not lose to lesser lifeforms! Even if I fall here, my fleet will come and wipe out you filthy monkeys!" And the charging for Eagle Force finally ended and he fired two powerful lasers right towards the knights. All while the light and lightning on their swords finally stopped.
" Ecks-"
" Clarent!"
Their armored boots stomped together in unison, their swords raised to the heavens to bring down a powerful, downwards strike, Meta Knight quick to grab Sanae and Dedede out of the sky to move them out of the way. Knowing that a powerful force was coming.
" Caliber!"
" Blood Arthur!"
Their downward swings brought two forces with them, with Artoria's, her blade brought down a golden light of the planet, one that was made to stop forces the planet did not enjoy upon it, fired forth.
While Mordred's blade came down with the force of pure, red lightning, raging forth to erase anything that stands in its wielder's path. The two beams soon spiraling together and smashing through the lasers Eagle Force fired with such ease as it tore into and through the machines in second.
Venom's spirit couldn't even utter an impossible before he was atomized before the power of the blast, Kracko, unfortunately, was right behind eagle force, soon staring at the laser of death coming to him and widened his eye, before the combo attack soon swallowed him whole, Kirby stopping his spinning once he saw the massive pillar of light that replaced the tornado that Kracko formed and pierced through the clouds into the heavens above.
The duo of knights soon swinging down their blades, as if cleaning blood from their surfaces and looks at their defeated foes, or what was left of them, the clouds remaining above but with the massive hole Artoria's weapon caused, before their eyes gazed at the clash in the skies.
" Heh, so my master went down? Big deal!" And more torque was put into his attack forcing Medusa's own attack was being pushed back by how much power he was outputting, the wind from their clash slicing up Medusa's skin as Ziden watched this.
" Oh no, she's being pushed back by his power, Senpai!" Ziden didn't even waste time, he immediately leapt through the skies as the platforms began to fall back down to the ground.
" Whoa whoa whoa! New Senpai, what the hell are you doing!?"BB's voice came through his comms while he was pulling out a card and slotting it into the reader.
" Doing what any Master, what any hero, what any Kamen Rider would do! Back up their ally!" Fires began to spiral around his leg.
" Card Set! Finishing Strike Ready!" Shining lights came from the driver and soon wrapped around his burning leg as he weaved past Medusa, soon joining her in clashing with Achilles.
" Medusa! Don't let this asshole push you back! You're the famed Serpent Goddess of Greece, so show him exactly what it means to be a legendary Monster!' Mana poured from his body and added into her own amount as Ziden added more force behind his kick. " Infernal Rider Kick!"
" What!?" And he could see it, cracks forming along his own horses as he hears a tag team of a yell coming from Ziden and Medusa as they began to push through, nay, shatter right through his attack with their combined attack, the Masters at Home, Chaldea, and even the now awake Shirou watched this and what came next.
REAL EYEZ! BURNING LIKE THE FIRE!
The sight of the Rider of Darkness screaming as his body was cleanly kicked through and torn through by the combo of a Rider Kick and a horse of devastating power, time seeming to slow down as they flew past him, blood staining their bodies and armor respectively as her Pegasus faded away and she felt herself free falling.
Ziden noticed it and was quick to act, his hand grabbing her into his arms as he soon slammed down into the ground, skidding clean through it before stopping in a flourish, the floating body of Achilles, his eyes, already losing the light in them.
" So this...is the power of Modern heroes?" Ziden smiled down below while letting Medusa stand, as he felt Achilles' body soon erupted into a brutal explosion, his Saint Graph immediately being destroyed from the finish as everyone soon landed down on the ground, all of their foes bested.
Shirou watched in awe, this was a hero, a being he idolized to become was there before him, saving an ally and looking good while doing it.
" We did it! We beat a Master of Darkness! Only 5 more to go!" Sanae was excited as Ziden's rider form faded away as he gazed at Heracles who still seemed on guard for some reason.
" Yeah, even going into that weird machine thing, he was a push over." Mordred softly sighed while placing her blade on her shoulder before also feeling this weird sensation in the air.
Ziden was about to head over to the others when he felt it, that intense bloodlust, that intense hatred, that intense desire to kill. " Warning, Powerful Demonic Signal rapidly approaching this location. Be ready." Burroughs' voice came through his comms and BB scoffed at her robotic tone but was also on guard from the warning.
Clouds that surged with lightning as if heralding exactly who was coming, with Ziden casting a Cura spell on medusa's leg, watching her be healed before quickly throwing her out of the way, right as a hammer came down onto his fist.
The ground exploded during the clash and Ziden found himself pushing back against the force that fought against him before swinging his blade and sending the hammer flying into the distance. " I see that your senses have become sharper since we last met, Icrim."
That voice was one he remembered well, as well as the sharp lightning that came down from the heavens as he watched descend from the heavens, holding his famed hammer.
" Th-this can't be right, hold on now! These readings! They're demonic but there is no mistake! This is a full on manifested god!" BB and Romani were outright in unison with this revelation, everyone on guard while Ziden simply scoffed.
" Couldn't stay dead, Thor, sheesh, what, ya want a run back after that last beating I gave you in New York Square?" And there he was, Thor, the famed Demon, God that served the US Government in disguise as Thorman, a towering man of rippling muscle before him.
" Aye, thanks to the man known as Zero, I have been given a second chance, one I shall not waste. Save your barbs, Hero, I know your tricks.' And Ziden looked at Thor outright lifting up a red pill to his mouth.
" Wait that pill!" RIn's voice immediately came through his comms and Ziden soon witnessed it.
The sight of a demon from the Expanse powering up through the Power of the RED. His body outright glowing and shining as his power seemed to spike massively as the lights faded.
His body adorned with golden armor that hid his rippling armor beneath it, thighs that rippled with power, arms twice the size of trunks and a helmet that might as well be a mask that held glowing blue eyes. A new form to withhold the new power the RED gave him.
" Anger me to drop my guard so you may strike me down easily. I shall not underestimate you, I shall not fall for your taunts. I will shatter your body, spread your organs across not only Asgard but the new Millennium Kingdom as well as a testament to foes who would oppose us." There was no hesitation from Thor, Mash tried to move quickly but the hammer was already thrown.
CLANG!
Mjollnir was smacked back into the ground with a rainbow impact as Ziden gazed to his Chaldean Servant that came with him to these lands.
" I wonder what took you so long to return home and what is it that I see, you about to have your skull destroyed by a lowly Thunder God?' Pathetic, Phoenix Warrior. Pathetic." That tone, of course it was her.
" Oh hey Altera, didn't think you would be out here on this lovely, stormy day." Ziden said while Thor had a less than positive reaction to Altera.
And everyone saw it, that reaction like a primal terror revived in a living being, his hammer being gripped with heated force when it was called back.
" I-impossible...the fang of the Fae destroyed you, how...how do you still exist, Scourge of the Gods, Sefar!?"
Back at the Chaldea base...
" I see, are you certain you wish to join me on this mission, it is going to be a tricky sort from what we have witnessed." Wodame seemed to be speaking to Ophelia in the Zeta Dreadnaught's teleporter, with whom two unknown servants stood with them.
" Of course, Lord Wodame. We can call this training to get our bodies used to combat before we enter a singularity. Besides, I am curious to see the world of that Icrim fellow and how much it differs to ours." Ophelia seemed outgoing this idea as he gazed to his servant.
" Very well, let us go and aid our comrade in these battles to come. If this odd sensation is correct, then our aid will be needed." Wodame looks at the teleporter, his mind thinking on resting Olga Marie who had slipped into a coma from the terrible events of Lev's betrayal. The teleporter whirring up before the duo headed on in, ready to join the battle.
Trivia:
1. Phoenix Blood in this Zidenverse, as stated in the past, can amplify the powers of Vampire, which also includes True Ancestors.
2. Seven Force Hails from Gunstar Heroes and was just a cool thing I wanted to do with Dr Venom.
3. Achilles' death is a whole reference to the first foe defeated in Kamen Rider Zero One, complete with being blasted in half.
4. Foreigners will be getting some major retooling in this story, due to my severe dislike of FGO handling some of my favorite cosmology, and turning it into a joke in my eyes, so i shall be retooling them, giving them their jokative levity but also their out there horror.
5. Thor gained his SMT Nocturne design in case you were wondering.
Author's Note: Happy Belated New Years, its been 3 months, what happened? Well sadly, it happened, I, caught the big Vid, the Corona, it absolutely, sucked, so much ass. I could barely breathe half the time because it flared up my Asthma, walking was hell, took my appetite to hell and even now, I can still feel the lingering after affects but, i got through it, my granny did too. Anyways, here is the chapter, do got a question for ya folks, would you guys be opposed to me talking about scrapped/relocated ideas I had for previous stories at the bottom of future chapters? Kinda wanna do so, any ways, feel free to answer in my dms or even leave them in your reviews. See ya next chapter. Because next chapter is gonna end on a doozy that some of you were not expecting at all.
Note: Due to the rather confusing nature of SMT's demonology, just note that while they are referred to as Demons, they still canonically have their Godly strength somewhat, its just that they have a demon trait now/they were lowered to demons, so to Fate systems, several demons will essentially be counted as full fledged, fully Manifested Gods, which is horrifying because this is 5 whole Singularities before they meet their first. And its a Major God in Thor, hence the shock and fear.
