Author's Note: Sorry for the ridiculous one month wait! College, multiple writer's blocks, lack of sleep, procrastination, and a slump got me when I was writing this chapter. Anyways, I hope all of you will enjoy this chapter.
Beta read by both hyperomegasonic26 and RedRat8
Honestly, Shirou should have seen it coming when it came to an event like this.
And what he should have seen it coming? Simple, the amount of people who would come for a match between him and someone else who can use the powers of Archer Gilgamesh.
Which consisted of Arturia and her counterparts, Ishtar and her counterparts, Parvati, Kama, BB and her sisters, Illya and her counterparts, Miyu, Astraea, Jaguar-man, Irisviel, Kiritsugu, EMIYA and her counterpart, Ritsuka, Mashu, Fou, Da Vinci, Nero and her counterparts, Jeanne D'Arc and her counterparts, Okita and her counterpart, Musashi, the Knights of the Round, Merlin, Lancer Cu, Rider Medusa, Caster Medea, Berserker Heracles, Sasaki Kojiro, and Gilgamesh and his counterparts, and Archer Gilgamesh who was seething with anger at both of them.
Not only them, but there were new additions to the crowd such as Arthur, Proto-Merlin, Romani, Olga Marie, Cu's counterparts, Medusa's counterparts, Scathach and her counterpart, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, Semiramis, Shakespeare, Astolfo, Hakuno, Sieg, Waver, Grey, Reines, Alexander, Diarmuid, Bradamante, Enkidu, Boudica, Caren, Bazett, Beatrice, Gudako, Jack, Abigail, Paul, Nursery, Morgan, the Fairy Knights of the Round, Oba Nobunaga, Hijikata Toshizou, Sakata Kinotoki, Tamamo no Mae and her counterpart, Ryougi Shiki, Minamoto no Raikou, Tomoe Gozen, Suzuka Gozen, Osakabehime, Okada Izo, Beni-Enma, Ushiwakamaru, Mochizuki, Ryoma, Oryou, Kiyohime, Murasaki, Hoskusai, Shonagon, Koyo, and Kagetora.
Which was twice the amount of people from before, and they were all sitting on stadium stands.
Shirou let out a sigh. "It's like what happened before all over again...but as twice as much."
"What the hell is this? Just how did we get a crowd here?" Angelica thought as she looked at the crowd before turning to Shirou. "Emiya Shirou, what the hell is this?"
Shirou sighed again. "Well, let's just say...I'm well known in Chaldea."
"I can see that. How though?"
"Well...it's a long story. Plus, I've been here for a long time."
"I see. Speaking of which, it seems someone here is not fond of me despite me being new here."
Shirou immediately knew who she was talking about. "Guess the news about her possessing the class card that allows her to use the same powers as Gilgamesh spread...figures," he thought as he looked at Archer Gilgamesh, who was seething with anger as he was looking at them. "Yeah. That's Gilgamesh, the heroic spirit your class card was based on."
"Ah. I see. Then again, his younger counterpart did mention that he was not going to like me..."
Shirou let out a chuckle. "That's an understatement. He's already despising you."
Meanwhile, Archer Gilgamesh was reeling in anger. What happened was that a few days ago, he found out about Angelica's existence along with how she possesses the class card that allows her to use his Gate of Babylon along with his noble phantasm, and it angered him immediately. "THAT...DAMN...COUNTERFEITER! HOW DARE THAT WOMAN CLAIM THAT SHE USES MY TREASURES SO EASILY! ESPECIALLY MY GREATEST TREASURE! I'LL END HER MISERABLE EXISTANCE AS SOON AS I'LL GET THE CHANCE! ALONG WITH THE FAKER AS WELL!"
Kid Gilgamesh let out a sigh upon seeing his older self's behavior. "Well, I knew this was going to happen eventually, but I did not expect it to happen this soon..." he thought to himself before looking back at where Shirou and Angelica were. "This might have been a bad idea..." he muttered.
It was then Caster Gilgamesh let out a sigh as well. "You can say that again..." he said before he looked at Angelica. "So that girl has something class card that can use my Archer counterpart's Gate of Babylon, including EA...while I am a bit annoyed over the fact that something like that exists, let's see how this goes..."
Meanwhile, Enkidu was just looking at Archer Gilgamesh with a dead-pan stare. "Well, looks like this may not end well..."
(With Ritsuka, Gudako, Mashu, Da Vinci, Romani, Olga Marie, and Fou...)
Ritsuka let out a small gulp as he looked at Archer Gilgamesh's face, which was filled with anger. "I have a bad feeling about this. Depending on how this will end, the end result will either be good or bad..."
"Um, senpai. Are you alright?" Mashu asked, snapping Ritsuka out of his thoughts.
"Hm? Ah, yeah. I was just thinking about something..." Ritsuka replied.
"I see. Anyways, I can't believe there's someone else who can use the Gate of Babylon besides Gilgamesh, and that person happens to arrive today."
"I know. Furthermore, when I asked Angelica about the reason for this match, she said she wanted to test to see if...well, to explain easier for you to understand, see if our Shirou is truly different from her world's Shirou."
Mashu was shocked. "Eh?! She knows Shirou-san as well?"
"In a way, yes. But she doesn't know our Shirou, so she's checking to see. I don't know why they need to fight though. Anyways, I'm surprised that you came along director, Romani, Gudako," Ritsuka said as she looked at Olga Marie, Gudako, Da Vinci, and Romani.
"Well, as director of Chaldea, it's my job to know which noble phantasm is which, what it looks like, what it is, and who owns it! Plus, Da Vinci told me to come here because apparently, he holds something that can shock me to the core and may help us in the future," Olga Marie replied.
"I see. And what about you Gudako?"
"The same reason as director. Plus, it has something to do with a certain question I asked," Gudako asked, which caused both Ritsuka and Mashu to look at Da Vinci.
"What question did you ask my counterpart?" Ritsuka asked Da Vinci.
Da Vinci let out a smile. "Oh...let's just say...that question has something to do with what you like," she said, not wanting to let the secret out.
Both Ritsuka and Mashu looked at each other, confused before looking back at Romani. "So, Romani. Are you excited for this?" Ritsuka asked.
"Yeah. I've never heard of anyone besides Gilgamesh using the Gate of Babylon and his greatest treasure, so this could be interesting. Not to mention the fact that I'm about to see what Shirou's Tsumugari Muramasa and his reality marble looks like up closely," Romani replied.
"I see. Speaking of which, Fou-san, you want to visit Shirou-san's realty marble again, don't you?" Mashu asked as she was looking down at Fou, who was on her lap with a smile on his face.
"Fou!" Fou said happily.
(With Arturia and her counterparts, the Knights of the Round, Morgan, the Fairy Knights of the Round, Merlin, Arthur, Proto Merlin, and Bradamante...)
Arturia was staring at Morgan, who was nearby. "Morgan, I have no idea what you are doing here, but you better not harm Shirou..." As she was in her thoughts, she felt a tug on her dress, prompting her to see who was pulling on it, which was her Lily counterpart.
"Older me. I know we're dealing with Morgan right now in the crowd, but there's no way she would try to harm Shirou. Not to mention the fact that our counterparts are here along with the Knights of the Round, Merlin, his supposed female counterpart, and somehow, a male counterpart of us. Even though she has her own set of knights, they are outmatched," Arturia Lily said.
"True, but you can never know Lily. A cornered rat can be dangerous."
"It doesn't matter. What Morgan will do is pointless with this number of servants around her," Arturia Alter interrupted. "Rather, what bothers the most is that girl who supposes can use the King of Heroes' Gate of Babylon along with that weapon of his."
"Exactly. To think a card would allow her to tap into those powers...unbelievable," Lancer Arturia said.
"Indeed. Speaking of which, there's also the fact that there's a Shirou in her world as well, and judging from the rumors, her world's Shirou is completely different from ours," Lancer Arturia Alter said.
"Yes. The way he lived...it's too tragic," Ruler Arturia said as she let out a small tear, which she wiped it away.
"Following his ideals...only to betray them just for the sake of his little sister, that sounds too familiar," Archer Arturia said.
"Indeed. Just like his counterparts..." Rider Arturia Alter said.
"Not to mention the fact that her world's Shirou looks like a mix between Shirou and his counterparts," Santa Arturia Alter said.
"Honestly, I feel like crying right now from hearing that story..." Caster Arturia said.
"Me too. I wish we were there..." Mysterious Heroine X said.
"Sadly, we can't. However, we can at least be there for our Shirou," Mysterious Heroine X Alter said.
"That we can agree on," Mysterious Heroine XX said in agreement.
"Exactly. Maybe I should reward him when all of this is over..." Mysterious Idol X Alter said.
"My queen, why did we come here?" Fairy Knight Gawain asked.
"Hmph. I came here because my husband was interested in this. Not only that, but I've heard rumors about Emiya Shirou's noble phantasms, and I want to check them out myself. Plus, I've also heard that Avalon was embedded in him for ten years, which intrigues me considering that it was a Fae item..." Morgan replied.
The Fairy Knights were stunned. "Really? A human like him managed to have a Fae item embedded in him for ten years? That's a joke I've never heard of!" Fairy Knight Tristan said.
"A human with a Fae item embedded in him for ten years...is that even possible? He would have died from something like that," Fairy Knight Lancelot said.
"Well now, considered me intrigued, but seriously though, how did he survive with something like that?" Fairy Knight Gawain asked.
"I do not know, either way, let's find out and see." Morgan said with a gleam in her eyes.
At the same time, Mordred was keeping an eye on Morgan. "You witch! If you plan on hurting mother, I will end your life immediately!" she thought to herself before she overheard a voice calling out to her.
"Mordred, what are you doing?" Gareth asked, snapping her out of her angry stare.
"It's nothing," Mordred quickly replied.
"I see. Anyways, are you excited for this match?"
Mordred let out a huge grin. "Yeah! It's been a while since I've seen my mother's noble phantasms. Especially the Tsumugari Muramasa!"
"This is a first time for me. From what I heard; our queen possesses two noble phantasms?" Percival asked.
"Indeed! They are powerful enough to even beat the King of Heroes and damage him! Including his weapons as well!" Lancelot yelled with pride.
"Exactly! Our queen won't lose!" Gawain yelled.
"Ineed. Plus, I also want to visit our queen's reality marble again; it is oddly very soothing..." Tristan said.
"Hm. If he possesses two noble phantasms, then he should be at least strong enough to be with our king. Let's see what he is capable of," Agravain said.
"Eh? So Shirou's reality marble looks like Avalon?" Proto-Merlin asked with interest in her voice.
"Yeah. Not only that, but there's a bunch of swords, a Japanese mansion, and Sengo Muramasa in there as well," Merlin replied with a smile on her face.
"I see. By the way, what's with the camera?"
"Oh, you'll see soon..." Merlin replied with a smirk on his face.
"Well then, looks like we may be seeing something spectacular here..." Arthur said.
"Merlin-sama! This looks like a fun thing to watch!" Bradamante said with excitement in her voice.
"That is true Bradamante," Merlin replied.
(Meanwhile with Ishtar, her counterparts, and Astraea...)
Ishtar was staring at Angelica, and she could not help but have a weird feeling upon seeing her. "This is odd. I don't know her, but for some reason there is a weird feeling in my body every time I see her. Just what is this feeling?"
As she was in her thoughts, it was then she felt a tap on her shoulder. "Hey, what are you looking at, useless goddess?" Astraea asked.
Ishtar nearly scowled, but shook it off. "That girl over there, Angelica wasn't it? I'm pretty sure I've just met her today, but for some reason she's giving off these vibes that's making me feel weird for some reason," Ishtar replied.
"You're not the only one. She's making me feel weird too," Astraea replied.
"Eh? You too? What are you feeling upon seeing her?"
"I don't know. And I'm not sure why, but it feels like something happened between us and her, even though this is the first time we've met."
"You can say that again," Rider Ishtar said as she joined in as well. "For some unknown reason, that woman kind of creeps me out for some reason. Like...she did something to me..."
Meanwhile, Ereskigal looked shocked at what she was seeing in front of her. "Eh?! Ishtar, her counterpart, and Astraea are getting along?! Just who is Angelica Ainsworth?! She is fearsome!"
(Meanwhile with Parvati, Kama, BB and her sisters...)
"So, we have a girl that can tap into the King of Heroes' Gate of Baylon and his greatest weapon...interesting. What amazes me is that the Moon Cell doesn't have any information on her..." BB said.
"Sister, you seemed to be interested in her," Passionlip said.
"Hmph. To be honest, that girl irks me in a few ways."
"Why?"
BB took a deep breath before she started to rant. "Because I feel like that girl is checking off some things a good kouhai should have! Twin tails, blond hair, and huge breasts! This feels like she's fulfilling some sort of fetish here! Not to mention that outfit of hers! That's a virgin-killer outfit!"
Meltlilith let out a chuckle upon seeing BB's reaction. "Wow, it's been a while since I've seen her like this...speaking of which, who is Angelica? I've never heard of a heroic spirit like her, and to make BB riled up like this...she's good."
"Um...Meltlilith, big sister is starting to scary me with her ranting..." Kingprotea said.
"Yeah, and I'm loving it," Meltlilith said with a smile on her face.
"Tch, why did you drag me along here?" Kama asked to Parvati.
"Now, now. Aren't you interested in this event? I am?" Parvati said with a smile on her face.
"No."
"Then why did you come over?"
Kama turned her head away from Parvati. "It's none of your business..."
(Meanwhile with the Emiya family...)
Illya let out a sigh as she was looking at Shirou and Angelica. "I can't believe master actually gave Angelica's request his approval. Furthermore, it attracted a lot of people here, and I think there's twice the amount of servants here than last time! Is onii-chan's noble phantasms really that interesting to watch?"
"Illya-chan, is there something wrong?" Irisviel asked, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Well...it's just that this is exactly what happened the last time onii-chan showed his noble phantasms. However, the crowd wasn't this big as now."
"Exactly. It still amazes me at how onii-chan managed to attract such people..." Kuro said.
Irisviel let out a smile. "To be fair, Shirou's been attracting people left and right every day. Not to mention the fact that he's done a lot of stuff to earn recognition."
"You can say that again..." Sitonai said with a sigh.
"Indeed. Not to mention the fact that somehow, news of the duel spread so quickly throughout Chaldea..." Miyu said.
"Wow! So many spectators here! This fight will be amazing!" Jaguar-man said in excitement.
Kiritsugu let out a sigh. "Calm down Jaguar-man."
Meanwhile EMIYA and EMIYA were looking at Angelica carefully like a hawk. "So, there's another person who can use Gilgamesh's noble phantasms, and she's from the world Illya, Kuro, and Miyu were from...along with my other counterpart..."
"So. Another person who can use Gilgamesh's noble phantasms...that's new," EMIYA Alter thought as he turned to look at Archer Gilgamesh. "And as expected, he's not happy..."
(With Sasaki, Medea, and Hercules...)
"Now then, let's see what the young lad is up to..." Sasaki said as he looked at the contestants from the distance. "By the way, I can't believe that there's someone else that can use the King of Heroes' noble phantasms..."
"Indeed. And all it requires is just one card. Just what kind of magecraft is this?" Medea said.
"I don't know, but either way, this may be a match to watch."
"RARRRRGHHHH!" Hercules yelled.
Both Sasaki and Medea let out a sigh. "Looks like we still can't figure out what he is saying," Sasaki said.
"That we can agree on, Assassin," Medea said in agreement.
(With Nero, her counterparts, and Boudica...)
"Umu! Today is such a great day! Our praetor is on the battlefield again, showing his noble phantasms!" Nero said with excitement in her voice.
"Indeed. Not only that, but his opponent is a young girl who can uses the King of Heroes' noble phantasms as well! This fight may be interesting!" Caster Nero replied in agreement.
"Exactly! Let's see who will win this match!" Bride Nero said.
Meanwhile, Boudica let out a sigh at her current predicament. "Just how did I end up sitting right with them...and just how long are they going to keep calling Shirou their praetor?"
(With Sieg, Jeanne and her counterparts, Astolfo, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, Semiramis, and Shakespeare...)
Sieg was amazed with the amount of people that were in the room. "Wow. There are this many people around here...guess this event must be quite a big deal..." he thought before he felt Jeanne tapping his shoulder, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Are you excited, Sieg-kun?" Jeanne asked.
"Yeah. To be honest, I've heard rumors about Shirou's noble phantasms, but I've never seen it up close before. Have you seen it?" Sieg replied.
"Indeed. I have."
"What is it like?"
"Well...let's just say, it's something you've never seen before in your life."
"I see," he said before quickly turning to Amakusa Shirou Tokisada. "And what are you doing here? Along with some of the Servants of Red?"
"Oh? Is there a problem for seeing my friend's noble phantasms?" Amakusa Shirou Tokisada replied.
Sieg twitched for a moment. "Huh?! Your friend?! You?!"
"Yes. He and I are friends in case if you hadn't noticed."
Sieg was nearly about to yell, but still managed to keep himself calm. "And what about you two? Assassin? Caster?"
It was then Shakespeare let out a great laugh. "Isn't it obvious?! To see how the heroic spirit known as Emiya Shirou fights along with his noble phantasms! Ever since I've heard about his noble phantasms and his victory against the King of Heroes, my mind can't help but imagine how they would look like! Especially his reality marble and his Muramasa blade! To think his katana would kill an immortal god and beat the King of Heroes...truly, that katana is a god-killer!"
Sieg let out a sigh before turning to Semiramis. "And you?"
"Well, my former master brought me here. Although I'll admit, I am a little interested in the heroic spirit that managed to put the King of Heroes in his place."
"I see. And-"
"I'm here to see the huge fight between her and Shirou! From what I heard, Emiya Shirou's reality marble is like a treasure trove! I want to see it!" Astolfo exclaimed with excitement on his face.
"I-I see..."
Meanwhile, Jeanne D'Arc was having a bored look on her face, making her younger counterpart look at her. "Hey older me, what's going on with that face of yours?" Jeanne D'Arc Alter Santa Lily asked.
"Well, I'm just wondering why I'm being dragged here by my sister..." Jeanne D'Arc Alter replied.
"Isn't it because you wanted to see Shirou-san's reality marble again? That place does feel good and helps you clear your mind for a bit."
Jeanne Alter's face went red for a moment. "W-What?! That's not it! Why would I want to visit his reality marble just to clear my mind?! That's ridiculous!"
"Really?" Jeanne Alter Santa Lily said with a stare.
"Yeah!"
(With Cu and his counterparts, Scathach and her counterpart, and Diarmuid...)
"All right! It's been a while since we've seen the kid fight, and I'm already getting excited from this!" Lancer Cu said with excitement in his voice.
"Exactly! It's quite convenient that master was able to set up an event like this because we regretted seeing the kid's noble phantasms from that day!" Caster Cu said with agreement.
"Yeah! I can't wait to see what it looks like! Not to mention the fact that there's a girl who can use the King of Heroes' noble phantasms!" Proto-Cu replied.
"Hmph. You guys are getting way too excited for this," Cu Alter said.
"What? Aren't you interested in this fight between these two?" Cu asked as he turned to his altered counterpart.
"Yeah, but you guys are making too much of a big deal out of it."
"My apologies, but this match between a girl who can use the King of Heroes' noble phantasms and Emiya Shirou is interesting to watch. I feel that nobody can't resist watching a match like this, including me," Diarmuid said.
Lancer Cu let out a cheeky grin. "See? I told you so," he said to his altered counterpart.
"Hm, a duel between Emiya Shirou and an unknown heroic spirit who can use the King of Heroes' noble phantasms...this should be interesting," Scathach said with a smirk on her face.
"Indeed. Let's see how this will go," Scathach Skadi replied.
(With the Japanese servants...)
"Hurry up! Let the fight begin!" Oda Nobunaga ranted.
"Nobunaga, calm down," Okita said with a sigh. "The battle hasn't even begun yet and you're already this excited..."
"How can I! I finally have a chance to look at Emiya Shirou's noble phantasms up close! I'm not losing this chance of a lifetime you know!" Nobunaga argued.
"But-"
"She's right, other me. It's been a while since we've seen Shirou's noble phantasms, so let us have fun watching," Okita Alter replied as she ate oden on a stick.
"Yeah! I want to visit Shirou-kun's reality marble again! Along with gramps as well!" Musashi said in agreement with Okita Alter.
It was then Hijikata placed a hand on Okita's shoulder. "Looks like you can't calm them down. They're already this excited."
Okita sighed again. "This is going to be crazy. Not to mention the fact that the person Shirou-san is facing can use the King of Heroes' noble phantasms with just one card..."
It was then Nobunaga got up from where she was sitting. "Get her, Emiya Shirou! Show your dignity and strength as a heroic spirit!" she yelled.
"Indeed! Show all of us your noble phantasms Shirou-dono!" Ushiwakamaru said.
"Yeah! Show her who's golden Shirou!" Kintoki yelled in agreement with Nobunaga.
"Kintoki, calm down," Minamoto No Raikou said.
"Oya? He seems to be quite excited about this match," Shuten-Douji said while drinking her sake cup.
"Well of course! It's a fight between Emiya Shirou and an unknown servant that can use that asshole king's noble phantasms!" Ibaraki-Douji replied.
"That's quite the vulgar language there Ibaraki," Suzuka said.
"Well, what can you expect? I think nearly everyone here has a grudge against the King of Heroes," Tomoe replied.
Meanwhile Ryoma, who was in the crowd as well, let out a chuckle. "Wow, there's this many people here...this event will be huge."
"Of course, Ryoma. Emiya Shirou is quite famous here after all," Oyrou replied.
"Well of course! He's the heroic spirit known for carrying the muramasa blade that cut the King of Heroes' arm off! That feat alone earns a lot of attention and respect!" Izo yelled.
"Indeed. I'm pretty sure everyone came here because of that reason," Beni-enma said.
"Now then, let's see what a god-killer blade looks like..." Shiki said.
"Oya, this is quite the crowd here!" Tamamo cat said in a joyful tone of voice.
"To be fair, this is something what you would expect after hearing, well, a match between Emiya Shirou and a unknown heroic spirit who can use the King of Heroes' noble phantasms," Tamamo-no Mae replied.
"Hm...I wonder if I go to Shirou's reality marble, would I get some new ideas over there?" Osakabehime said.
Hoskusai let out a chuckle. "Yeah. Who knows what lies in that reality marble of his?"
"That sounds like a good idea! I second that!" Shonagon replied.
"Hm...I wonder what will happen here?" Koyo said.
"Who knows. Either way, this will be an amazing match," Mochizuki replied.
"Exactly," Kagetora said in agreement. "Go get her Emiya Shirou!"
(Meanwhile with Waver, Alexander, Reines, and Grey...)
Waver let out a grumble. "I can't believe you dragged me all the way here..." he said with a sigh before feeling a hard slap on the back from his former servant.
"Hahahaha! Now, now, just enjoy this! After all, neither of us have seen your former student fight up close, so I think this is a good opportunity!" Alexander replied.
"A good opportunity? For what?"
"Isn't it obvious? To see how Emiya Shirou fights up close! And I'm not talking about recorded videos! I'm talking about seeing it up close!"
Waver sighed again before hearing Reines' voice. "Oh my, it seems you had quite the troublesome servant," she said with a smirk on her face.
"Shut up."
Reines still smirked before turning to Grey. "So Grey, are you excited for this match?"
"Y-Yes. To be honest, I actually wanted to see Shirou's noble phantasms up close," Grey replied.
"I see. Well then, let's enjoy the show then."
(With Jack, Nursery, Abigail, and Paul...)
"All right! We're finally going to see what Shirou's reality marble looks like!" Paul said with excitement.
"Yeah! From what I heard from other people, it's filled with swords, flowers, a house, and his ancestor!" Nursery replied.
"A flower field with swords, a house, and a person...that sounds a fun place to live," Jack said.
"Indeed! It must be a beautiful place to live in!" Abigail said.
(With Medusa and her counterparts...)
Medusa stared at Angelica. "That girl, Angelica...from what I heard, she said she can use the King of Heroes' noble phantasms with just a single card...just what is her plan fighting Shirou?" she thought.
"You seemed focused on that girl over there," Ana said, snapping Medusa out of her thoughts.
"Yes. To be fair, we just found out that there's an unknown servant who can use the King of Heroes' noble phantasms easily, and she's also from another world as well. For some reason...I feel uneasy around her..." Medusa replied.
"Oh? Is that jealously in your voice I hear?" Gorgon asked.
"It's not that. Rather...it feels like she was involved with Sakura for some reason, but I don't know why."
Ana let out a small sigh. "It's probably your imagination. You're just overthinking things a bit."
"I guess so."
(With Hakuno, Caren, Bazett, and Beatrice...)
"This should be interesting. A person that can use the King of Heroes' noble phantasms with just a card. Although that's going to make him angry, this should be something to watch..." Hakuno thought as she was looking at Angelica.
"So, are you excited for this?" Caren asked Hakuno.
"Yeah. I've heard about Shirou beating the King of Heroes, but I did not get to see it. This might be a good thing to watch," Hakuno replied.
"I see."
"So, the day has come...a match between that doll and this world's Emiya Shirou," Beatrice said.
"Yes. Which begs the question, who would win?" Bazett asked.
"Hm...normally, I would say the doll would win, but for some odd reason...this may not be the case."
Back with Shirou and Angelica, they were looking at the crown that was right beside them in the distance before looking at each other. "Well, you seemed to be quite popular here," Angelica said.
"You can say that again..." Shirou replied.
It was then they heard Da Vinci's voice coming from the stands. "Okay! Everyone be quiet for a moment!" she yelled, making everyone stop talking immediately. "Now then, now that I have gathered everyone's attention, here we have in one corner of the arena is one of Chaldea's well-known servants, Emiya Shirou! And in the other corner, we have Angelica Ainsworth! She is a servant from another world who can use the King of Heroes' noble phantasms by using what is called Class Cards!"
It was then everyone besides Archer Gilgamesh gave out a round of applause.
"Now then, I want a clean fight between you two, okay? And no killing each other! Or else Chaldea will crumble because of it in many ways than one could ever think of!"
"Yes," Shirou and Angelica said in unison.
"Okay then! Let the fight...begin!"
Shirou and Angelica then faced each other. "Are you sure about this?" he asked.
"Yes. I need to fight you in order to find out if you're truly different from the Emiya Shirou of my world. No matter what you say right now, my answer and resolve won't change," Angelica replied.
"I see. Guess there's no turning back then."
"Yeah. And let me show you how resolved I am." Angelica then took out her archer card from her pocket and held it in her hand. "Archer, install."
In an instant, a bright light appeared around Angelica, and when the light disappeared, she was wearing a different outfit, which is a revealing body armor based off the Heroic Spirit's appearance with the armor mostly covering her bottom half and one side of her arm, while her top half is only covered by a bra with slight triangle patterns on the edge. She also wears a blade-like ornament on one side of her head and has red markings across her body.
Shirou was in awe of seeing Angelica's transformation. "So, that's how the class card works. Not only it copies the heroic spirit's powers, it also copies what the heroic spirit wears as well to a extent..."
Meanwhile, Archer Gilgamesh was having a different reaction from Shirou's, and it was not a happy one as his face was twisted in anger. "WHAT?! NOT ONLY THAT CARD COPIES MY TREASURES, IT ALSO COPIES PARTS OF MY ARMOR AS WELL?! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!"
"Gil, calm down. Or else I'll use the chains on you," Enkidu said.
Upon hearing his friend's voice, Archer Gilgamesh reluctantly sat down on the stands but still had an angry look on his face.
"Well, are you ready?" Angelica asked.
"Yes," Shirou replied as he unsheathed his katana.
Angelica let out a smirk. "Well then. Here I go."
In an instant, multiple golden portals appeared behind her with swords coming out of them. She swung her hand sideways, and the swords began to fly off towards Shirou with incredible speed. However, Shirou saw that coming and deflected the incoming swords with a swing from his katana, making them land in different directions.
"Trace on!" In an instant, multiple swords appeared around Shirou. Shirou then headed towards where Angelica was while she summoned more swords from the Gate of Babylon. Like before, they headed towards Shirou, but this time, some of them clashed with Shirou's traced swords while others went for him. Shirou then started to dodge, striking her swords down while catching up to her at the same time. Eventually, Shirou got close enough to strike Angelica and swung at her, prompting her to pull a sword out of the gate and guard against Shirou.
As the two were locked in a clash between their swords, Angelica then summoned a gate below between herself and Shirou and shot a giant sword right between them, separating them from each other and leaving Shirou surprised. However, his surprise did not end as he noticed that there were multiple gates above him and started to rain swords down on him. Shirou quickly sheathed his katana and brought his arms out. "Trace on!"
In an instant, Myoujingiri Muramasa: Version Kanshou and Bakuya appeared in his hands, and he started to swing the twin katanas against the rain of falling swords to the best of his ability, creating a small smokescreen around him from the impact of the falling swords along with the clashing. Soon, the dust cleared, and around Shirou was a bunch of swords.
"Wow, I did not expect this. She can use the Gate of Babylon like that unlike Gilgamesh who just shows it behind him..."
"Oh? To think he was able to deflect that within just a few seconds...that's impressive. Not only that, but what are those twin blades he's holding over there? I haven't even seen those before, and the Gate of Babylon doesn't have any recording about them..."
After a moment of silence, Angelica started to speak. "Well then, looks like I somewhat underestimated you for a little bit."
Shirou let out a chuckle. "I'll take that as a thanks."
"However, I still don't have my answer yet. And if you wish for me to stop, then defeat me!" Angelica said as more portals appeared behind her.
"Here it comes!" Shirou thought. In an instant, more swords came out of the portals and were flung towards him at incredible speeds, forcing him to drop his weapons. "Rho Aias: Version Avalon!" he yelled as he raised one of his hands. In an instant, a golden seven-petaled flower appeared in front of Shirou, protecting him from Angelica's weapons.
"Ho? Another weapon I had never heard of before. This is somehow getting interesting..." Angelica thought.
Shirou then came towards Angelica as the flower shield disappeared. "Trace on!" In an instant, a certain sword in the stone appeared in his hands, much to Arturia's, her counterparts', the Knights of the Round's, Arthur's, Merlin's, and Proto-Merlin's delight.
"Sword of Selection, grant me power! Cleave the wicked! Caliburn!"
Shirou then swung Caliburn at Angelica, creating a beam of light from Caliburn and it was heading towards her. In an instant, the beam hit Angelica, creating a huge cloud of dust in the process. Shirou covered his eyes to not allow the dust to get into his eyes. "Did that do it?" However, what came out of the dust was Angelica, who was blocked by multiple shields that were around her. Shirou let out a small sigh as seeing that Caliburn did not affect her. "Well, looks like that didn't work..."
Meanwhile in the crowd, Olga Marie was shocked at what she just saw. "What the heck?! Shirou just projected Caliburn! A long-lost noble phantasm that was broken a long time ago! And what are those weapons? I've never seen or heard of them! Is that what his projection does?! It doesn't look like regular projection!" she yelled in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Romani was in complete awe of what he just witnessed. "That's projection? It sure didn't look like it. Not to mention that the projection didn't fade away. Just how did Shirou manage to visualize Caliburn despite it being destroyed and lost forever?"
Da Vinci let out a chuckle. "Yes. That is Caliburn in Shirou's hands, although yes, it is just a projection. As for how he knew...well, only the King of Knights know, since she used to be his servant after all."
"I see...wait, which King of Knights? We have so many," Romani asked, making Da Vinci let out a small sigh.
Meanwhile, Angelica was recovering from blocking Caliburn's attack with her Shields of the Gods from the Gate of Babylon. "So, this world's Emiya Shirou can do that...hmph, looks like I might need to get serious here then, and he needs to do the same as well..." The shields then began to head back into the Gate of Babylon. "Hey, I think that's enough warming up right now."
"For who? Me or you?" Shirou asked.
Angelica let out a smirk. "Both of us. Now then...unleash that reality marble of yours, like how our world's counterpart did in the past the first time I fought him."
Shirou let out a small sigh. "Very well, I won't hold back right now."
"As well as I."
Meanwhile, Illya, Kuro, and Miyu had one thought in mind upon hearing their conversation. "Well, they're about to get serious. I hope onii-chan gets over Angelica's magecraft..."
Shirou then stabbed Caliburn to the ground and raised on of his arms and began to chant his aria.
"My body is made out of swords."
In an instant, swords appeared around him.
"My blood is of iron and my heart of glass."
As Shirou continued his chant, his magical circuits began to flare up in his body, making them visible for everyone to see.
"I have created over a thousand blades."
"Unaware of loss, nor aware of gain in every battle."
"Withstood pain to create weapons, striving for that utopia."
"This body is made out of infinite swords!"
And at that moment, everything was encased in a bright light, causing everyone to close their eyes. After a few minutes, everyone opened their eyes to see where they were.
For the most part, half of the crowd which included Arthur, Proto-Merlin, Romani, Olga Marie, Cu's counterparts, Medusa's counterparts, Scathach and her counterpart, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, Semiramis, Shakespeare, Astolfo, Hakuno, Sieg, Waver, Grey, Reines, Alexander, Diarmuid, Bradamante, Enkidu, Boudica, Caren, Bazett, Beatrice, Gudako, Jack, Abigail, Paul, Nursery, Morgan, the Fairy Knights of the Round, Oba Nobunaga, Hijikata Toshizou, Sakata Kinotoki, Tamamo no Mae and her counterpart, Ryougi Shiki, Minamoto no Raikou, Tomoe Gozen and her sister, Suzuka, Osakabehime, Okada Izo, Beni-Enma, Ushiwakamaru, Mochizuki, Ryoma, Oryou, Kiyohime, Murasaki, Hoskusai, Shonagon, Koyo, and Kagetora were shocked with what they were seeing, especially Angelica.
Because she was expecting a world field with snow, blades, and a night sky. However, what she saw instead was a world filled with flowers, swords, a few random objects, and a clear bright sky with a sun. "This is his reality marble? It looks nothing like what I saw. And this feeling...it's very different from him. Like...there's hope in this world..."
As Angelica continued to look around, it was then she noticed two unexpected things around her that made her drop her mouth; one was the Emiya Residence and the other was a certain mech. "No way...is that...it can't be!"
"Fou!" Fou jumped with happiness as she got off from Mashu's lap. As he was exploring his surroundings of Shirou's reality marble, he saw something that shocked him. "Fou?"
"Fou-san? Are you okay over there?" Mashu asked in the stands.
"Fou!" Fou then ran around the grass a few times before heading back towards Mashu with a satisfied look on his face. "Fou..."
Ritsuka let out a chuckle. "Looks like he seemed to have his fun here already."
"Yes, senpai," Mashu replied.
"Ho! So, this is Emiya Shirou's realty marble! Amazing I must say! And all those weapons...they are enough for an entire army!" Alexander roared.
"Wow! You weren't kidding Merlin. Shirou's reality marble is like Avalon!" Proto-Merlin said with a smile on her face.
"I know right? Aside from the swords here, it's a near exact replica!" Merlin replied.
"So, this is Shirou's realty marble...it's so nostalgic. It looks like Avalon..." Arthur said with a smile on his face.
"So, this is what Emiya Shirou was hiding in his reality marble...no wonder why he was able to pull out so many weapons. He's a walking armory...no wonder I wasn't able to beat him..." Diarmuid said in awe.
"Oh? To think Emiya Shirou carried this many weapons here..." Scathach said in amusement.
"Wow. There's so many flowers here...I wonder if I can pick some of them out..." Ana muttered.
"You've got to be kidding me...this is his reality marble?! It's a near-perfect replica of Avalon! In fact, I'm not even sure if I can even call it a replica!" Morgan yelled in shock.
"What the hell, is this guy a fae or what?!" Fairy Knight Tristan yelled.
"I don't know, but for him to make our queen this riled up...just what more secrets does he hold here?" Fairy Knight Gawain said.
"Who knows?" Fairy Knight Lancelot said.
"Hahahaha! The number of weapons Emiya Shirou are quite a ton! It's like he's prepared to take on an entire country with those numbers! Not to mention the fact that he even has a Japanese-style manor here! And it's big!" Oda Nobunaga said heartfully.
"Indeed. I wonder if he lives in there..." Toshizou asked.
Meanwhile, back where Shirou and Angelica were, Shirou let out a small sigh. "You're surprised, aren't you?" he asked.
"Yeah. This is completely different from my world's Emiya Shirou's reality marble. His reality marble was filled with snow, swords, and it was a cold and dark night. But here...there's no hint of despair or emptiness in it. Rather, everything here...feels warm and fulfilled, not to mention that there's a sun and a house here."
"Yeah. After many years of traveling, having faced many battles, I perfected my skills and magic circuits, understood my origins and who I am, and even fusing with the soul of my ancestor in the process, this is the result of my journey. What you see around me...is the reality marble of the heroic spirit known as Emiya Shirou."
"I see. By the way, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"Well, for starters...WHAT THE HELL IS THAT BEHIND EVERYONE IN THE STANDS?!" she yelled out loud enough for everyone in the stands to hear her, which was out of character for her.
Upon hearing the yelling, everyone turned around to see what she was talking about. As they did, nearly everyone's mouths dropped.
Because what was behind them was the Strike Freedom Gundam, just standing there while holding its twin beam rifles. For a moment, nothing happened...until Gudako started the chaos by yelling a single sentence.
"IT'S A GUNDAAAAAM!" she yelled at the top of her lungs in otaku joy.
"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!"
Shirou let out an inward sigh. "Oh boy..."
And then everyone started to rant over how a gundam was inside of Shirou's reality marble.
"What the hell?! Since when did Emiya-kun have something like this?! It wasn't even there the last time I've been here!" Ishtar yelled.
"Senpai! What did you do?!" Parvati yelled.
"Hey kid! What the hell is that?! This wasn't here before!" Lancer Cu yelled.
"Holy shit! A gundam is here?! This is the best day ever! I must tell Blackie about this afterwards!" Osakabehime said with excitement.
"Wow. You don't see that in the moon cell..." Hakuno said.
"There's a giant here?! That is very bad!" Medea yelled.
"A giant?! You're an idiot! That's a mecha!" Beatrice yelled.
"A mecha...it looks similar to a golem..." Sieg said.
"All right, what did that idiot do to make this?!" Waver yelled.
"What is that?! It looks strong!" Musashi yelled.
"What the hell?! Is that one of his projections as well?!" Olga Marie yelled.
"Hey Barghest! That thing over there looks taller than you!" Fairy Knight Tristan said with a chuckle.
"That damn mongrel!" Archer Gilgamesh yelled.
The chaos in the stands continued, and to everyone's surprise when they noticed, only Arturia, her counterparts, and the Emiya family stayed calm, although Mysterious Idol X Alter looked at the gundam with awe.
Eventually, the chaos had to stop.
"EVERYONE! BE QUIET RIGHT NOW!" Ritsuka yelled, making everyone shut up for a moment. As everyone shut their mouths, Ritsuka then took a deep breath. "Well, things got complicated...and that's not the only gundam Shirou has..."
"Ritsuka, care to explain...WHAT THE HELL IS THAT IN SHIROU'S REALITY MARBLE?!" Olga Marie yelled, clearly showing her confusion about what was going on.
"Um...well, a while back before you and Romani arrived, me and Da Vinci did an experiment one day which involved Shirou's projection, and well...we ended up getting surprising results..."
Da Vinci let out a chuckle. "Yeah. To be honest, we didn't expect him to project a gundam of all things..."
"A gundam? What is that?"
Ritsuka gulped before saying his answer. "A Gundam is an advanced, high performance mobile suit, often constructed to be much more powerful than the standard production mobile suits...and it's from the future from a fictional anime."
"I see. And who else knew about it this whole time...?"
It was then some people decided to speak up. "Me, my counterparts, and Shirou's family knew, Olga Marie, and Mashu," Arturia replied.
"Yeah. To be honest, I didn't expect something from far away in the future to appear here..." Jaguar-man said.
"Me neither..." Mashu replied meekly.
"Really...and tell me Ritsuka, just how far in the future is the gundam Shirou has projected...?" Olga Marie asked.
"Well...I would say...far enough for humanity to end the A.D calendar and start a new calendar..." Ritsuka said.
Olga Marie was silent for a moment, making Ritsuka, Mashu, Da Vinci, Romani, and Gudako worried. "Um...director?" Mashu asked.
Olga Marie then stood up from where she was sitting. "Ritsuka, Da Vinci, when all of this is over, you two will explain everything to me...UNDERSTAND?!" she asked in a menacing tone of voice.
"Y-Yes..." Ritsuka and Da Vinci said in unison.
"Good." She then turned to Shirou. "And you Shirou! I want you to use everything you have at your disposal! Understand?! You too Angelica!"
"Y-Yes..." Shirou replied.
"I've already planned that," Angelica said.
"Good!" Olga Marie then sat down. As she did, Ritsuka, Mashu, Da Vinci, Romani, and Gudako looked at her. "Um...director, are you all right?" Romani asked.
"Yeah. I'm just...trying to process what I just saw..." Olga Marie replied with a sigh as she facepalmed herself "Honestly, I feel like I'm having a headache right now..."
"I can't blame you. To be honest, I can't believe something like this exists in Chaldea for quite some time, and you two never even told us about it!" Romani said as he was scolding them, making them feel bad.
"Um...Romani, to be fair, nobody didn't ask them, so...can both of you go easy on them?" Mashu said.
Romani let out a sigh. "You do have a point there..."
"Um...Da Vinci, I can understand that you and my male counterpart knew about it since you two were responsible for it, but how did the King of Knights, her counterparts, and Shirou's family knew as well?" Gudako asked.
Da Vinci chuckled again. "Yeah. About that...they had a glimpse of it because of a family activity...that I was involved in as well..."
Both Olga Marie and Romani sighed in unsion. "Da Vinci..." they muttered in unison.
(Back with Shirou and Angelica...)
Shirou let out a sigh at what just happened. "Looks like I'm in for a long interrogation after this..." he thought before turning to Angelica. "So, ready to continue?"
"Yeah. Let's finish what we started," Angelica replied as she raised her arm, where more portals appeared behind her. Shirou then picked up a nearby sword and ran towards her. At that moment, multiple swords popped out of the portals and went for Shirou himself. However, Shirou was ready for that and summoned multiple swords as well to fight back. Both groups of swords clashed against each other; some of them went in separate directions on impact while others just dropped to the ground. At the same time, Shirou was using his sword to deflect some of Angelica's swords that were heading towards him while dodging them at the same time. It was then Angelica decided to summon more swords than before using the Gate of Babylon.
However, Shirou was already ready to counter that.
"Sword Barrel: Full Open!"
In an instant, the same number of swords appeared behind Shirou and immediately went for Angelica's Gate of Babylon, preventing her from launching her own swords.
"Tch! Looks like he knows how to counter them just like him...but then..."
"Too slow!" Shirou yelled as he pulled another sword from the ground and began to swing at her. However, to his surprise, instead of hitting her or her blocking her strike, she just stood there. And when the blade was about to hit her, Shirou saw something he had not expected in his entire life along with the audience as well.
Instead of hitting her, the blade just went through her without any damage to herself. Not only that, but he went through herself as well. "What?"
"What?" Everyone besides Illya, Kuro, and Miyu thought.
Angelica let out a smirk. "He fell for it."
"Ah. There it is, Angelica's magecraft..." Illya, Kuro, and Miyu thought.
Shirou was still stunned by what had just happened before he quickly turned around to attack her again. However, like before, the blade phased through her. "What the heck? What is this?"
"Too slow!"
And in a blink of an eye, Shirou was teleported from the ground and was somehow in the air. "What the heck?! I'm in the air!" he thought to himself as he was checking his surroundings. As he did, it was then he noticed a portal at where he used to be standing. "A portal?"
"Hey! This is no time to be distracted! Angelica yelled at the surface.
Upon hearing Angelica's words, Shirou noticed that he was surrounded Angelica's Gate of Babylon again. "Tch! Trace on!" In an instant, Myoujingiri Muramasa: Version Kanshou and Bakuya appeared in his hands, and he started to swing them against the incoming swords, deflecting them to the best of his ability. Angelica moved to a distance, wanting to not get caught in the blast radius. Soon, he fell to the ground rolling over on the ground while the swords from the Gate of Babylon were shot onto the ground, creating multiple explosions onto the ground. As the dust was cleared, Shirou quickly recovered from the earlier impact. "Just what was that? I've never seen this before..." he thought as he got up.
"You're surprised, aren't you?" Angelica asked as she turned around, which Shirou nodded in reply. "I can't blame you. This is the magecraft of the Ainsworth family, Flash Air."
"Flash air? What's that?"
"Flash air is Displacement magecraft that substitutes something for something else. Derived from Alchemy, the system has a fundamental rule that the replacement will always suffer from degradation."
"I see. Is it a high-level magecraft?"
It was then Angelica let out a laugh. "Surprisingly, despite with what you just saw, it's actually low-level, probably even on the same level as your magecraft."
Shirou was stunned for a moment. "You're kidding me."
"It's the truth. Anyways, asides from substituting something for something else, Flash Air also has other uses." It was then she used her flash air magecraft to create four portals while adding some of the swords from her Gate of Babylon, creating an endless loop of swords falling. "Like this."
Shirou let out a small gulp. "Those swords that keep falling between the portals...I've got a bad feeling about those..."
"By the way, try to dodge them," Angelica said before she launched one of them at Shirou, which he immediately dodged. As he did, the launched sword created a giant crater upon impact.
Shirou was shocked at what he just saw. However, he was not able to think as another sword was shot out of that space, forcing him to deflect the sword, but barely. "They're too fast!"
"Oh? Was he able to deflect them? Maybe I should accelerate the speed a bit more..." she thought before she began to accelerate the swords' speed that were falling between the four holes. She raised her hand and shot a few of them at Shirou with incredible speed, forcing him to dodge. "Now then, how will you deal with this?"
"Tch! Rho Aias: Version Avalon!" Shirou yelled as he raised one of his hands. In an instant, a golden seven-petaled flower appeared in front of Shirou, protecting him from Angelica's continuous rain of swords. "She's using her magecraft along with the Gate of Babylon to increase the velocity of her weapons. Not only that, but by connecting the space between the two, she's accelerating the speed of her noble phantasms," Shirou thought as he continued to defend himself. "At this rate, I won't last longer..."
However, it was then he spotted a certain sword...or rather, a certain mystic code nearby.
"That mystic code...I never thought to see it here...but this is good timing, because at this point, I'm all out of options! Might as well use this! I hope it can counter Angelica's magecraft!" He then dropped Rho Aias: Version Avalon and picked up the mystic code.
However, as he did, Angelica bombarded him with multiple noble phantasms from her Gate of Babylon, creating a bunch of giant explosions in the distance where Shirou was along with a giant cloud of dust.
"Did that do it?" Angelica thought.
However, to her surprise, a blur of white, blue, and clear green came out of the cloud of dust and slashed a chunk of her armor off and passed her by, injuring her in the process. "Tch! What was that?! I didn't even see that! Just what did he do?!" She then turned around to see where the blur was. However, she was not able to see it. "What?! Where is he?!" It was then she noticed that the crowd was looking upwards, with shocked expressions on their faces. Angelica was confused for a moment before she saw what was in the sky and did the exact same thing.
Because in the sky was Shirou, who currently looked like a gundam that was similar, yet different to the Strike Freedom Gundam.
The 00 Raiser.
For a moment, the entire realty marble was completely silent as almost everyone was trying to process a few simple things. One which is that Shirou can now float and fly in the air, and the other is that not only does he possess a gundam, but he can also turn into one as well. Not only that, but they were in awe over how divine it looks with the GN Particles flowing out of its binders, giving it the impression of the ascension of a divine being.
Meanwhile, Shirou was breathing softly as he was floating in the air. "Wow. I never expected to use this again. I wonder if I have gotten rusty in this since I've haven't used it for a long time..." he thought to himself as he used his Mana to help feed the whole Mystic Code to use it.
It was then Shirou heard Da Vinci's voice from the ground. "Hey Shirou! How's that mystic code working out for you?"
"Hm? Oh, it's working well Da Vinci! To be honest, I didn't expect to use this again!" Shirou replied.
"I see!"
Meanwhile, Angelica was completely dumbfounded over what she just saw. "What the hell?! This is not what I was expecting! First the difference between the reality marble along with the house, then apparently, he has technology from fictional future media! Just what is up with this world's Emiya Shirou?! It feels like he's breaking rules left and right! What is he, Rule Breaker?!"
"Um...Angelica-san, are you alright? If not, we can stop if you want-" Mashu asked but was cut off from Angelica.
"That won't be necessary," Angelica replied as she looked at Shirou, who was still floating in the air. For a moment, she could not help but feel like Shirou was looking down and challenging her by hovering in front of her, and she felt like taking him on in the air. "So, it's an air battle that you want...then I'll give it to you!"
It was then a giant golden portal appeared beside her and what came out of it was Vimana, the ancient aircraft exclusively for the King of Heroes. She then sat on it and with a touch of her fingers, started it up. The aircraft soon began to hover slightly above the ground before she began to lift off into the sky where Shirou was. Eventually, she caught up to him. "Try and get me, Emiya Shirou!" she yelled as she headed towards the sky.
Shirou let out a sigh. "She's challenging me...well, I guess I have no choice to take it." He then flew towards Angelica at fast speeds, catching up to her instantly. "Honestly, I didn't expect this fight to involve an aerial battle..." he said as he caught up to her.
"Neither did I. However, this might be an interesting fight to be in...I hope you can keep up with me," she said with a smirk on her face.
*Cue 00 Gundam OST: 00 Gundam*
In an instant, her Gate of Babylon appeared, and multiple weapons were shot at them, heading towards Shirou. Shirou was able to dodge them, but they were coming back to him.
"Tch!" Shirou thought as he was looking at the radar screen before he began to dodge Angelica's weapons again. However, Angelica was not done as she brought out more weapons from the Gate of Babylon and threw them towards Shirou. Shirou then swung the weapons with the GN sword III and began to deflect them, making them fall upon impact. Shirou then headed towards Angelica with fast speeds along with the GN sword III in his hand, surprising Angelica for a moment.
"He's fast!" she thought before she quickly pulled off an evasive maneuver, making Shirou miss his target. As Shirou missed her, he turned and folded the GN sword III into its rifle mode, shooting at Angelica while moving around. "What?! That weapon can shoot as well?!" she thought as she saw the beams coming towards her before she brought out her shields of the gods while dodging at the same time. "Tch! Such tricks won't defeat me!"
She then summoned more weapons from the Gate of Babylon and started to fire at them. Shirou then flew higher in the sky to evade them, but like before, they followed him as well along with her. At that point, Shirou began to pull off some maneuvers that resembled the ones Ritsuka would see on his favorite gundam shows. He was slashing Angelica's weapons while gracefully dodging them at the same time.
Angelica was stunned upon seeing Shirou doing all of that in the air. "You're kidding me..." However, the surprise was not over yet as the binders on the 00 Raiser mystic code began to open, and to Angelica's shock and surprise, many GN missiles came out of them and were shot at Angelica. In an instant, Angelica brought out the Shields of the Gods again and protected herself from the missiles. The missiles clashed with her and Vinama, dealing damage to her aircraft, but not Angelica herself as she was protected. "What the hell?! That thing has missiles in there as well?! Just what kind of mystic code is that?!"
Soon, Shirou depleted his missile ammo and charged Angelica again with the GN sword III's blade out. As he did, Angelica saw something that was soon burned into her memory.
The eyes of a gundam.
Meanwhile at the stands, nobody said a word at that moment as they were watching the aerial battle, but Da Vinci let out a smirk upon seeing everyone's reactions aside from Ritsuka, Mashu, and the mysterious heroines, which they knew already. "Well then, looks like everyone is shocked upon seeing him in that. Although I did not expect seeing a magecraft I've never seen before..."
However, Gudako's reaction snapped everyone out of it. "AGAIN, IT'S A GUNDAAAAAM!" she yelled at the top of her lungs with absolute joy and ecstasy.
"Da Vinci...did you create that?!" Olga Marie asked in shock.
"Yeah. It's the 00 Raiser mystic code."
"00 Raiser mystic code? What the heck is that?" Romani asked.
"Well, it's a mystic code that allows the user to become the 00 Raiser. And in case if you know, the 00 Raiser is a gundam as well, albeit from a different series in the gundam franchise."
Both Olga Marie and Romani's mouths dropped even further upon hearing Da Vinci's explanation. "What?! Are you saying that you created a mystic code that allows people to become...that?!" Olga Marie yelled as she pointed at the Strike Freedom Gundam. "And there's more than one gundam?!"
"Yeah. Although the size of the person still remains the same."
"Since when did you create it?! And how long has Shirou has it?!" Romani asked.
"Well...about a year ago. Same with Shirou as well."
Olga Marie's brain exploded upon hearing Da Vinci's words. "A YEAR AGO?! YOU MEAN THAT WHILE ME AND ROMANI WERE DEAD, YOU SOMEHOW MANAGED TO CREATE SUCH A THING?! AND KEPT ITS EXISTANCE A SECRET FROM EVERYONE IN CHALDEA?! HOW THOUGH?!"
"Well...let's just say...you can get inspiration from unexpected things..."
It was then Ritsuka came into the conversation. "I'm sorry director, Romani!" he apologized as he clapped his hands together. "I've accidentally let out one of my gundam dvds for Da Vinci to watch while you two were gone!"
Olga Marie let out a sigh. "Really? All of this happened because Da Vinci happened to look at my subordinate's belongings? Jeez, just happened to her while we were gone..." She then turned to Ritsuka. "Well, at least you're not directly responsible, but next time when both of you pull this shit, tell me immediately. Understand?"
"Yes..." Ritsuka and Da Vinci replied.
"Good." Olga Marie then turned her attention to Shirou, who was currently fighting Angelica using the 00 Raiser mystic code. "A mystic code that can turn you into a gundam, that's useful, especially with what is about to happen soon..."
"Wow, to think Emiya Shirou had this hidden with him, and he's able to use it like that...speaking of which, how did you make it?" Romani asked.
Da Vinci let out a chuckle. "Well...let's just say...it took me countless nights to make it..."
"Um, Da Vinci. Out of all the gundams you chose, why the 00 Raiser?" Gudako asked.
"Well, it was the one that caught my attention the most, and it's the main gundam of the show it came from. Why?"
"Is there something wrong with it, Gudako-san?" Mashu asked.
Gudako let out a sigh before continuing the conversation. "That gundam...surpasses the concept of gundam itself...and holds the fate of humanity in its hands," she said while sounding like an absolute weeb at the same time.
At that moment, Olga Marie, Romani, Da Vinci, and Mashu were shocked. "EHHHHHH?!"
(With Arturia and her counterparts, the Knights of the Round, Morgan, the Fairy Knights of the Round, Merlin, Arthur, Proto Merlin, and Bradamante...)
"Shirou..." Arturia said in awe as memories of the fourth Fuyuki Grail War came into her mind.
"So, Shirou has learned how to fly...impressive," Arturia Alter said with a smirk on her face.
"Indeed. With those capabilities, he's proven himself to be my personal helper," Santa Arturia Alter said.
"Amazing! I want to try that too!" Arturia Lily said with excitement.
"Huh. This is quite surprising," Lancer Arturia said.
"You can say that again. We spent so much time with Shirou, and this is the first time we've ever seen him in the air..." Lancer Arturia Alter replied.
"Indeed. To think he had that hidden inside of him this whole time..." Ruler Arturia said.
"Yes. And I thought the gundam we saw since that family photo was a shock, but this is on a whole new level," Archer Arturia said.
"Not to mention the fact that Da Vinci was the creator of it. That woman never ceases to surprise me," Rider Arturia Alter said.
"Yeah. Speaking of which, who taught him how to fly? Is there a mage here who taught him that?" Caster Arturia asked.
"Oh, I did. Along with X and X Alter as well," Mysterious Heroine XX said.
It was Arturia and her remaining counterparts looked at the heroines. "You did?" they asked in unison.
"Yeah. The same day Shirou got that mystic code on him, Da Vinci told us to come in and help him how to use it. Honestly...it was the best day of my life," Mysterious Heroine X said with a smile on her face.
"Yeah. Not only that, but we also taught him how to use the special features included in as well," Mysterious Heroine X Alter said.
"Special features? What are they? I want to see them now..." Mysterious Idol X Alter said.
"Well, it's all up to him," XX replied.
"Holy shit! Mother can fly now?! And shoot beams and missiles?!" Mordred yelled in shock and amazement.
"That seems to be the case, Mordred," Bedivere replied before looking at Agravain, who happened to be looking at the aerial battle with complete shock along with his mouth dropped. "Is there something wrong, Agravain?"
"It's probably because of what we are seeing now Bedivere. He's probably in complete shock over seeing something like this. Honestly, I can't blame him," Lancelot said.
"Yeah. Even my eyes are open because of this," Tristan said.
The Knights of the Round looked at Tristan for a moment and saw that his eyes were open, which does not happen a lot. "Wow," Mordred said.
"Yeah," Tristan said.
Meanwhile, Agravain was trying to process what he just saw today in his mind. "Okay, I definitely underestimated Emiya Shirou. First, he has a reality marble. Second, he has a giant contraption in said reality marble. And third, he has a mystic code that can turn him into a smaller version of said giant contraption, although different...just what kind of person did my king associate with?"
"Wow! To think our new queen was capable of flight! That's amazing!" Percival said with awe in his tone of voice.
"Yeah! I wish we could support him right now, but sadly we can't, and it is frustrating! I wonder if Da Vinci can each of us one of those mystic codes later..." Gawain said.
"What...the...hell?! He's flying?! Okay, he's definitely a fae!" Fairy Knight Tristan yelled.
"Just what is he? For him to fly like that...he's just like me in a way," Fairy Knight Lancelot said.
"Indeed. And that giant thing we saw earlier...I don't even know what that is. Emiya Shirou holds so many secrets..." Morgan said.
"You're right my queen," Fairy Knight Gawain said.
"Shirou, you were capable of this? I'm surprised and impressed," Arthur said.
Meanwhile, Merlin was laughing his ass off from seeing the aerial battle. "Now this is rich! First was the giant gundam in Shirou's realty marble, and now this! This is just priceless, and for once, I did not even foresee this! Clearly, this must be a reward of some kind!" Merlin said.
"Indeed! Now I see why you don't stop peeking at Emiya Shirou! He's like a treasure box! You can never know what he holds inside!" Proto Merlin replied with laughter in her voice as well.
"Wow! Emiya Shirou-sama is flying in the air! That's amazing!" Bradamante said excitedly.
(Meanwhile with Ishtar, her counterparts, and Astraea...)
For the first time in her life, Ishtar, or rather Rin, was completely shocked. And that included her counterparts and Astraea as well.
"You have got to be kidding me...Emiya-kun...flying?" Ishtar stuttered in disbelief.
"Yeah, and honestly, I can't help but agree with that reaction of yours..." Astraea said.
"Emiya-kun flying in the sky...this is first time I've ever heard of it..." Ereshkigal muttered.
"Just what is this...first was the giant mech, and now this..." Rider Ishtar said.
(Meanwhile with Parvati, Kama, BB and her sisters...)
"Senpai can fly now! BB-chan did not expect this!" BB-chan said.
"Exactly! To think he was capable of this...this is too shocking for me," Meltlilith said.
"Yes. And this is the first time we're seeing this..." Passionlip said.
"He's flying...I wonder if I can do that too..." Kingprotea said.
"Wow. Senpai's flying..." Parvati said.
"Wow. You people are making a huge deal out of this..." Kama said.
(With the Emiya family...)
The entire Emiya family were completely speechless as they were seeing Shirou in the air, pulling out many complicated maneuvers. "So, Shirou can do something like this...fufufu, and I thought the gundam was crazy, but this is new! It's like my son now has a new hobby!" Irisviel thought.
"Onii-chan...is a gundam now..." Illya said with shock in her voice.
"And I thought the mech was crazy, but this...this is a whole new level of ridiculous," Kuro said.
"You can say that again. Look at them. It's like a massive dog fight between the two. And onii-chan seems to be no pushover in the air," Sitonai said.
"Yes. Not to mention the fact that it uses future technology that we do not even know of, nor from this time period," Miyu said.
"What the hell?! Shirou became a gundam! Jeez, and I thought his "become a hero of justice' dream was crazy, but this takes the cake!" Jaguar-man yelled.
Kiritsugu did not say anything, but he had a lot of thoughts about the aerial fight, especially the mystic code Shirou was using. "Hm, that mystic code seems useful. The ability to fly in the air, that could help master a lot more. I should ask Da Vinci to make one that is tailored for me later..."
EMIYA and EMIYA Alter were speechless. "You have got to be kidding me...my younger self...is a gundam of all things...I'm not sure if I should even laugh at this..." EMIYA thought.
"Huh, and I thought the giant mech was the thing that surprised me, but this is a whole new level..." EMIYA Alter thought.
(With Sasaki, Medea, and Hercules...)
Medea let out a slight groan. "You have got to be kidding me. The boy can now fly...with a single mystic code...just what is he? I'm not even sure if he's making a mockery of magecraft at this stage..." she said in disbelief.
"Now, don't get mad already. Although I'll admit, it is quite a shock seeing him the air like this. And the way he fights in the air...he's like a bird," Sasaki said as he was impressed.
"Oh? So does that mean you want to cut it down like what you did to those swallows?" Medea joking asked.
Sasaki let out a chuckle. "Nope, because that's not a bird."
"RARRRRGH!" Hercules roared.
Both Medea and Sasaki sweat dropped. "Quite the loud one he is..."
(With Cu and his counterparts, Scathach and her counterpart, and Diarmuid...)
"Holy shit! The kid can fly now?! Jeez, and I thought he was a monster, but a flying monster? Now that's crazy!" Lancer Cu said with shock in his voice.
"Yeah! I thought the giant thing the kid has was the shock, but this completely tops that!" Caster Cu said.
"Okay, are we sure he's just a Saber-class servant?! Because at this point from what we know, he could be either an Archer, Caster, or maybe Lancer, and right now, maybe even a Ruler or a Foreigner!" Proto Cu said.
"Jeez, the kid is too versatile of a servant..." Cu Alter said.
"You can say that again..." Cu said before he noticed Diarmuid, who was interested in the aerial battle as he did not look away from it. "You're surprised as well?"
"Yes, but I also feel nostalgic from seeing this..." Diarmuid replied.
"Nostalgic? You've experienced this before?"
"Yes. Remember when I told you that I was in the fourth Fuyuki Grail War? Well, during that war, something like this happened when the Berserker of my war challenged the King of Heroes like this, but he was using a hijacked jet fighter."
"I see. That sounds like one good fight." Lancer Cu said before he noticed Scathach and her counterpart looking at the aerial battle with interest. "Huh, even shishou is interested in this...wait, I have a bad feeling about this..."
"Ho? To think Emiya Shirou was capable of flying...very interesting," Scathach said with interest in her voice.
"Indeed. And from what we heard earlier from master; he was able to project technology from the far future. Quite fascinating indeed..." Scathach Skadi said.
"Yes. In fact, seeing Emiya Shirou fighting in the air just gave me an idea..." Scathach said with a devilish grin on her face.
"Shit!" Cu and his counterparts thought in unison upon seeing the devilish grin on her face.
(With Medusa and her counterparts...)
"Wow...Shirou's flying..." Ana said.
"Yes. And he's just a normal human being..." Gorgon said.
"Indeed. Not to mention the fact that he now possesses something we don't even know..." Medusa said as she continued to look at the sky. "Shirou, just what did you do?"
(With Gilgamesh, his counterparts, and Enkidu...)
Both Kid and Caster Gilgamesh looked at their Archer counterpart, who seemed to be seething in anger as he was looking at the aerial battle. "Well...it seems my older self seems to not like this..." Kid Gilgamesh said with a nervous chuckle.
Caster Gilgamesh let out a groan. "I don't know what goes on in that mind of his, but he needs to get over it."
"Yeah."
Meanwhile, Archer Gilgamesh felt anger and a slight sense of jealousy growing inside of him. "HOW DARE THAT COUNTERFEITHER USE ONE OF MY TREASURES JUST FOR A DOG FIGHT AGAINST THAT FAKER! AND THAT FAKER POSSESSES FUTURE TECHNOLOGY EVEN I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE?! AND HE'S CAPABLE OF BEATING MY VIMANA IN BOTH SPEED AND POWER?! THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE! HOW MUCH IS HE GOING TO INSULT ME?! I'LL END BOTH OF THEIR LIVES AS SOON AS THIS IS OVER!"
"Gil, calm down," Enkidu said. However, to his surprise, he did not listen. "Wow. He's not taking this well..."
(With Nero, her counterparts, and Boudica...)
"Amazing! To think our praetor was capable of this...quite fascinating! And those moves in the air are quite graceful!" Nero said with excitement in her voice.
"Exactly! First was the giant mechanical being that resides in his reality marble, then he's able to turn into one as well with the help of a mystic code!" Caster Nero said.
"Umu! As expected, our praetor is full of surprises!" Bride Nero said.
Boudica let out a small sigh before looking at the aerial battle. "Wow, so Shirou was capable of this for a while...amazing."
(With Sieg, Jeanne and her counterparts, Astolfo, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, Semiramis, and Shakespeare...)
"Well I'll be surprised! Not only Shirou possess a giant robot mech in his reality marble, but he can become one as well! That looks a lot more fun than riding a beast! I need one of those!" Astolfo said with excitement in his voice.
"Wow...I did not expect this..." Jeanne D'Arc said as she looked at the aerial battle between Shirou and Angelica.
"Me neither. It feels like today I learned a new side of Shirou I've never seen before..." Sieg said as he was also looking at the aerial battle as well. "That looks amazing. To be able to fly so easily without turning into a dragon...I wonder if I could do the same thing as well..."
"Wow! Shirou's able to fly with that mystic code! It looks more amazing and fun to use!" Astolfo said.
"Well then, looks like your friend here seems to be hiding something interesting from everyone here for quite some time..." Semiramis said.
"Indeed. Especially that giant mechanical contraption that was hiding here this whole time. No offense, but I think that thing might even rival your Hanging Gates of Babylon, along with that mystic code as well," Amakusa Shirou Tokisada said.
"Ho? You seemed to be quite interested in those two things, my former master."
"You can say that. After all, they came from a future unknown to you and me. Honestly, I wish I could have summoned him back the Greater Grail War. He would have been a great asset."
"Oh my goodness! Who would have ever expected Emiya Shirou to have access to technology that even Chaldea doesn't have any information about! How fascinating! Truly, the heroic spirit known as Emiya Shirou is not only a heroic spirit of the past and present, but also the future as well! I must write another story about this!" Shakespeare yelled with excitement as he began to write down on some papers furiously.
Amakusa Shirou Tokisada let out a chuckle. "Looks like Shakespeare seems to be having the fun of his life."
"Indeed," Semiramis said.
Meanwhile, Jeanne D'Arc Alter was looking at the aerial battle with interest in her eyes. "Flying huh...I want to do that again. I wonder if I should get-wait, what am I thinking?! Why should I get one of those?! Although if I get one, it should teach that vile woman a lesson..."
"Cool! I want one of those now! I want to be a gundam now!" Jeanne D'Arc Alter Santa Lily said.
Jeanne D'Arc Alter let out a groan. "Really?"
"Yeah! I want to fly as well! Don't you want to do the same as Shirou-san since you look like you wanted one as well?"
Jeanne D'Arc Alter let out a blush. "S-Shut up!"
(With Jack, Nursery, Abigail, and Paul...)
"Wow! Shirou's flying in the air! That's cool!" Nursery Rhyme said with awe in her voice.
"Yes! He's like an angel! Or rather a robot angel!" Abigail replied in agreement.
"Hmm...flying in the air...we want to try that..." Jack said softly.
"Cool! I want to do that! Hey, when this is over, let's ask Shirou for a ride with that along with the giant robot!" Paul asked.
"Good idea!" Jack, Nursery, and Abigail said in unison.
(With the Japanese servants...)
"Okay, I did not expect this at all! First, Emiya Shirou has a giant mechanical contraption from the future inside of his reality marble, then he can turn into one as well! When will this man stop surprising and amusing me?! Speaking of which, I need one of those!" Oda Nobunaga said as she was laughing.
"You can say that again. I did not expect Shirou-san to fly..." Okita said as she was in awe over the fact that Shirou was able to fly in the air.
"Me too! I'm jealous now that Shirou-kun can do something like this! It looks cool!" Musashi said with a pout on her face.
"Yeah. I want to fly too..." Okita Alter said in agreement as she was looking at the aerial battle.
"Holy shit! This is the best day ever! I thought seeing the Strike Freedom Gundam was amazing, but this is the cherry on the top on this amazing event! Blackie is so going to be jealous when I tell him about this!" Osakabehime yelled in happiness.
"Wow. This is unexpected..." Hijikata said.
"Indeed. To think Emiya Shirou-dono was able to fly...that's amazing. And in a graceful manner as well..." Ushiwakamaru said.
"Exactly! A mystic code that can allow you to fly, that's golden!" Kintoki said.
"And that power...that speed...it hungers me! Now I want to fight him now!" Izo said.
"So that's the gundam master was so obsessed with in his childhood..." Minamoto no Raikou said.
"Yes. I should get one for myself so acchin-sama can notice me more..." Kiyohime said.
"Wow! I never expected to see Emiya Shirou to fly today of all things!" Tamamo No Mae said with excitement in her voice.
"No kidding! And I thought the giant version of what he's wearing right now was a shocker!" Tamamo Cat replied in agreement with her counterpart.
"That mystic code...it seems interesting to look at," Shiki said.
"Hey Ryoma, I want one of those," Oyrou said to Ryoma.
Ryoma let out a sweat drop. "Um, I don't think that's possible Oyrou," he replied before focusing his attention on the aerial battle. "Wow, the kid seriously shocked everyone here today..."
"Wow! Today somehow became a day with inspiration for my drawings!" Hosuksai said as she was writing down ideas for future drawings.
"You can say that again! I'm already having inspiration writing down a new story!" Shonagon replied in agreement as she was doing the same thing as Hosuksai.
"Wow. I never thought to have inspiration from here today..." Murasaki said.
"Jeez. I've been here for a long time in Chaldea, and this is the first time I've ever seen something like this..." Suzuka Gozen said.
"Me too. And to think Shirou possesses technology beyond this era. Speaking of which, I wonder if he can project VR equipment as well?" Tomoe said.
Suzuka let out a sigh. "Don't ask him that question Tomoe, or don't get him involved in your gaming antics."
"Hahahaha! Now that's interesting! A human heroic spirit able to fly, now that's something you don't see every day!" Ibaraki said.
"Yeah. And he's able to use it so gracefully while unleashing fierce attacks on his opponent," Shuten said as she drank from her sake cup.
"And that speed...it's just as fast as me," Mochizuki said.
"Wow, so this is Emiya Shirou's power..." Kagetora said in awe.
(Meanwhile with Waver, Alexander, Reines, and Grey...)
"You have got to be kidding me...one of my students can fly now...just how much longer is he going to keep surprising all of us..." Waver said in disbelief.
"Hahahahahaha! That's one question I would like to ask him myself! He can cook, clean, can fix things, fight, can summon any number of weapons, and is nice with almost everyone here in Chaldea! At this point, I wouldn't even be surprised if he is able to do everything! As expected from a man I tried to recruit into my army!" Alexander gloated.
Waver let out a small sigh before he noticed the smug grin on Reines' face. "Hey, what's with that face of yours?" he asked with annoyance.
"Oh nothing..." she said before she turned to look at the aerial battle. "A mystic code that turns the user into a gundam...which means I can fly as well if I get one huh?"
"Um...teacher, is it possible to ask Da Vinci for one of those?"
Waver groaned. "Not you too..."
(With Hakuno, Caren, Bazett, and Beatrice...)
All four of them were completely shocked upon seeing Shirou fly in the air as if it was nothing. "What the hell, he just turned into a different version of that gundam over there. And it's smaller as well. Just what kind of stuff does Shirou have here?! Even the King of Heroes doesn't even have one of those!" Hakuno thought.
"Well, this is interesting. And I thought Chaldea was crazy enough as it is, but this? Now this is what I was not expecting..." Caren thought.
"Okay, what the hell is that?! Am I dreaming, or did I just see him turn into a small mech of all things?!" Beatrice yelled.
"No, you are not dreaming. This is happening right now," Bazett replied.
Beatrice wiped her eyes and pinched herself just to make sure Bazett was not lying. As she did, it confirmed that what she was seeing was real. "You're not lying, it is real!"
"See? I told you so," Bazett said to Beatrice before turning her attention to the aerial battle. "But wow. To think this world's Emiya Shirou is capable of something like this..."
Back at the aerial battle between Shirou and Angelica, Angelica was having a hard time trying to hit Shirou with her Gate of Babylon as Shirou was effortlessly dodging her thrown weapons while deflecting them at the same time. "Damn it! I can't seem to get a lock on him! He keeps moving around!" she thought to herself as she was flying towards him. Shirou then saw her coming and headed towards her at incredible speeds. As he was getting closer to her, Angelica brought out a sword from the Gate of Babyon and swung it at Shirou, hoping to hit him.
Her blade clashed with Shirou's GN sword III for a quick moment before Shirou passed her by again. As they passed, another chunk of Angelica's armor was cut off. "Tch..." she thought before she turned around to look at Shirou, who seemed to be undamaged. She then pulled off the combination between her magecraft and the Gate of Babylon to increase the velocity of her swords and threw them at Shirou with increased speed, catching Shirou off guard and scratching the surface of the 00 Raiser mystic code. "All right, that works at least..."
"So, she can do that while in the air. Guess I need to be more careful when getting closer to her..." Shirou thought to himself before he dodged another of Angelica's weapons. Shirou then switched his GN Sword III into rifle mode and started to shoot at Angelica's incoming weapons while moving around at the same time. However, Angelica was not done yet as she expanded the Gate of Babylon even further, bringing out more weapons enough to overwhelm Shirou.
"Try to dodge all of this, Emiya Shirou!" Angelica yelled.
In an instant, Angelica threw the contents of the Gate of Babylon at Shirou, which forced him to activate his GN Sword III's blade mode and started to deflect the weapons again. However, unlike before, he was heading towards Angelica, hoping to clash blades with her again. Eventually, Shirou got close enough to swing his blade at her. "You're mine!" Shirou thought.
However, to his disappointment, Angelica activated her magecraft and created a portal in front of her, putting Shirou behind Vimana. Shirou quickly turned around before seeing multiple weapons being thrown at him again, forcing him to defend. "Tch, not again. That magecraft of her is quite tough to deal with. Whenever she activates it, she's able to substitute something for something else, and in this case, it's the air. Because of that, she's able to force me to teleport me somewhere else. Which leaves the biggest question, how do I counter it? I just can't keep on defending forever, there's got to be a way...well, guess I'll have to use that..."
Shirou then stopped defending himself and headed where Angelica was without any hesitation. He then flew over her and quickly did a nosedive at her. Upon seeing what he was doing, Angelica let out a smirk. "Hmph, he's getting desperate if he's thinking of an attack like this..." She then brought stood up from her seat and lifited her arm up, activating her Flash Air. "It's over."
However, it was then Shirou said a certain phrase that changed her mind.
"TRANS-AM!"
*Cue Trans Am Raiser OST*
In an instant, Shirou quickly turned red and disappeared right in front of Angelica's eyes, and it was not her doing for once. "What?! Where did he go?!" However, her thoughts were cut short as she felt a rumble on the aircraft she was on. "The bottom?!" She then sat back down and controlled the ship to move away. As she did, she saw a red blur that was speeding past her towards the sky and followed it before it quickly coming down at her. "You fool!" she yelled as the Gate of Babylon appeared behind her again, ready to throw her weapons at Shirou. However, as she did, he disappeared again as the weapons made contact with him. "Damn it, I can't hit him! Just where is he?!"
And at that moment, her question was answered...as she received a surprise kick from behind, sending her to the front of Vimana. "What?! He's behind me?!" Angelica quickly recovered and turned around just to see Shirou swing at her with the GN sword III. Angelica summoned a sword from the Gate of Babylon and tried to defend it. However, it was not enough as Shirou used his free hand to bring out one of the GN swords II mounted on the waist armor and caught her by surprise, slashing her.
Angelica groaned as she felt her wound from the GN sword's II slash before seeing Shirou charge at her again. "Tch! Don't get too cocky!" she yelled as she summoned her Chains of Heavens to try to restrict Shirou. To her surprise, however, Shirou quickly dodged the chains that were coming at him with great speed and mobility. "What?! He's able to dodge the Chains of Heaven as well?! Just what is that state?!"
"Too slow!" Shirou yelled.
Shirou then headed towards Angelica at great speeds before doing a barrel roll to catch her off guard and strike her in the back with both weapons before kicking her off Vimana. However, Shirou was not done as she went towards her and proceeded to unleash a brutal assault of hit and run attacks with the GN swords IIs and beam sabers before kicking her again, making her crash into the ground along with Vimana, much to everyone's surprise while Shirou was still in the air in his trans-am state before turning it off.
"As expected, Trans-Am takes quite the toll. Looks like I need to finish this quick..."
Meanwhile back on the ground, Angelica was processing her thoughts while trying to recover from her earlier injuries. "What the hell was that?! Just what is that state he is in right now?! Suddenly, his speed went three times as fast as before and surpassed Vimana! Not to mention that he was able to counter my flash air so easily and kick me off Vimana!"
"Hey Angelica! Are you all right over there?" Ritsuka asked in the distance.
"Yes. I'll be fine..." she said as she stood up from the ground and looked at Shirou, who was still in the air. As she looked at Shirou in the air, she felt a surge of humiliation deep inside of her. "Emiya Shirou is looking down on me in the air...how ironic. I used to look down on him, and now the tables how turned. And for some reason...it vexes me!" She then raised her hands. "Come forth, Ig-Alima and Sul-Sagana!"
In an instant, two giant portals appeared in the sky above Shirou and what came out of them were two ridiculously giant swords; large enough to cleave a mountain in two.
Shirou dropped his mouth upon seeing them before trying to trace them. However, he was not able to. "Tch! Looks like they're divine constructs. I can't trace them..."
"Now then, how will you deal with these divine constructs, Emiya Shirou...?"
For a moment, Shirou checked his visor for a moment. "Well, looks like I'm going to have to use that..." He then raised his arm with the GN sword III in the air, for a moment, did nothing.
Angelica, who was on the ground, eyed Shirou's movements. Or rather, lack of. "What is he doing? He's just standing there...just what is he up to?"
Meanwhile, in the stands, Ritsuka, Gudako, and the mysterious heroines let out a smirk. "Oh boy. That pose...here it comes..." they thought in unison.
Soon, both Ig-Alima and Sul-Sagana were falling on Shirou, who seemed to be doing nothing. For a moment, everyone besides Ritsuka and Gudako were worried about what was about to happen next, and Archer Gilgamesh, who was hoping for it to fall on him.
However, what happened next made them change their minds.
"TRANS-AM RAISER!"
In an instant, Shirou went into trans-am mode and a giant beam came from the GN sword III that was several kilometers long, rivaling both Ig-Alima's and Sul-Sagana's length. Everyone besides Ritsuka, Mashu, Gudako, and the mysterious heroines were shocked at what they just saw. However, the one that was shocked the most was Angelica.
"What?! That mystic code has that feature as well?!"
"Over there!" Shirou yelled as he swung the Raiser Sword at Ig-Alima and Sul-Sagana. Soon, the beam sword clashed with the giant swords and in an instant, the Raiser Sword went through them breaking them in half. However, that was not the end as the Raiser Sword not only cut through Ig-Alima and Sul-Sagana, but it was also heading towards Angelica and Vimana.
"Tch!" Angelica began to move away from the Raiser Sword. There was a huge explosion as the Raiser Sword hit its target, creating a giant cloud of dust. Soon, the dust cleared and revealed Angelica, who was behind her Shields of the Gods. However, she looked exhausted as she was kneeling on the ground with one knee.
Shirou then floated down to the ground. As he did, he pressed the switch on the 00 Raiser mystic code and in an instant, the same green light was around him again and transformed him again back into his normal state. Suddenly, he was kneeling on the ground with one knee as well. "Phew. That was exhausting. Then again, I used both Trans-Am and Trans-Am Raiser, which was energy consuming...I think I'm almost at my limit..."
"THAT WAS SO COOL!" a bunch of voices said in the background.
Shirou snapped out of his thoughts and was nearly alarmed by the number of voices that said that in the stands. "Guess I really did pull off a show with the mystic code..."
"Well, looks like the crowd there is quite fond of what you just pulled off," Angelica said.
"You can say that again..." Shirou replied. "Anyways, you want to continue? Or do you want to take a short break?"
Angelica let out a chuckle. "Isn't it obvious? This battle isn't over until we have a clear victor," she replied as she got up. "After all, I was the one who issued you the challenge. I can't go back."
Shirou soon got up as well. "Well then...let's finish this..."
"Yeah..."
However, it was then they noticed that a bunch of swords were hovering around them and immediately went towards them, with the intention of killing them. As the swords were heading towards them, both Shirou and Angelica dodged them. "What?! Who did that?!"
"Gilgamesh! What are you doing?!" Ritsuka yelled in the distance.
Upon hearing Ritsuka's words, both Shirou and Angelica looked at the stands to find out what was going on. As they did, they saw Archer Gilgamesh, who was floating in the air with the Gate of Babylon behind him.
And he looked furious.
"HEY, KING OF HEROES! HOW DARE YOU TRY TO KILL MOTHER YOU BASTARD!" Mordred yelled in rage as she was bringing out Clarent with Arturia, her counterparts, and the rest of the Knights of the Round doing the same.
"DAMN IT GOLDIE! NOT THIS AGAIN!" Ishtar yelled as she was preparing to fire a gandlr.
"What the hell?! Are you trying to kill the kid again?!" Lancer Cu yelled.
"Have you lost any sense of dignity?!" Oda Nobunaga yelled.
"ALL OF YOU MONGRELS, SHUT UP!" he yelled in anger as he was floating out of the stands and onto the ground. "THAT DAMN FAKER AND COUNTERFEITER HAS EARNED MY WRATH! AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT WILL STOP IT!"
Shirou let out a sigh. "This is not going to end well...and I'm going to regret asking this..." he thought to himself before starting the conversation. "And what did we do?"
Archer Gilgamesh growled. "ISN'T IT OBVIOUS?! YOU TWO HAVE MADE A MOCKERY OF ME FOR THE LAST TIME!"
"A mockery? What do you mean by that?" Angelica asked.
"OH, WHERE DO I START?! FIRST IS YOU COUNTERFEITER! HOW DARE YOU POSSESS ALL OF MY TREASURES WITHIN A SINGLE CARD! NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU ACTUALLY USED ALL OF THEM AGAINST A LOWLY FAKER LIKE HIM! ONLY I CAN POSSESS ALL OF THOSE TREASURES AND HOW I USE THEM!" Archer Gilgamesh then turned to Shirou. "AND YOU, YOUR ENTIRE EXISTANCE MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL! ESPECIALY WHAT YOU DID TO MY TREASURES WITH THAT ACCUSED MYSTIC CODE OF YOURS! HOW DARE YOU BREAK THEM WITH YOUR FILTHY HANDS!"
Shirou sighed again. "He's ranting again..."
"Okay, I know that the King of Heroes has a big ego, but I did not expect to see him blow up like this. Is he always like that?" Angelica asked as she turned to Shirou.
"You have no idea..." Shirou replied.
Angelica let out a sigh before turning to Archer Gilgamesh. "Listen, King of Heroes. What you said earlier is true. I may be a counterfeiter and what I did may be a copy created from a single card, and I don't care about that. However, what I can't stand is someone interrupting what could possibly be the greatest fight I ever had in my entire life. So, unless you want to get hurt...stay out of my way," she said menacingly at the last part of her sentence.
Archer Gilgamesh twitched at the last part of her sentence. "What...did you just say?" he said in a creepy tone of voice.
"I said, stay out of my way," Angelica repeated.
For a moment, Archer Gilgamesh did not say anything before he opened his Gate of Babylon even further. "So, judging by your words...I TAKE IT THAT YOU WANT TO DIE NOW HUH?! WELL, REJOICE! YOU'LL GET YOUR WISH SOON, ALONG WITH THE FAKER!"
Angelica looked at Shirou. "Wow, he did not take that well."
"You can say that again," Shirou replied in agreement.
"DIE!" Archer Gilgamesh yelled.
Everyone in the stands was about to jump out to stop him. However, before they could do, a forging hammer was suddenly thrown from the Emiya Residence and hit Archer Gilgamesh right in the face, stunning everyone as his face flew back. For a moment, Gilgamesh was silent as he was processing what just hit him before getting angry again. "OKAY! WHO DARED TO HARM MY FACE?!"
"Oh, will you shut up for just one damn moment you damn brat!" a new voice said.
"That voice..." Everyone thought as they turned to look at the Emiya Residence and when they did, one of the doors was opened, revealing Sengo Muramasa, who looked annoyed. While most of the crowd were overjoyed to see Sengo Muramasa again, some of the servants who had not seen him before were confused with why there were two Shirous.
"Hey kid! I know that you said you were going to do something an event like last time with your noble phantasms, but man, that is one large crowd here! Probably enough for a whole village! In fact, I'm seeing some new people here as well! I swear, I'm getting too old for this..." Sengo said with a sigh.
"Yeah. Sorry..." Shirou said.
"Emiya Shirou, who is this?" Angelica asked as she was confused with why there were two Shirous in front of her.
"Hm? Ah, this is Sengo Muramasa, my ancestor and the blacksmith who fused with me," Shirou said.
Angelica was slightly shocked at the information she had just received. "What? That person over there is Sengo Muramasa? The spirit of the blacksmith that Emiya Shirou fused with? He looks a lot like him. To be fair, he is his ancestor, but still, a bit too much..."
"What?! That's the blacksmith that's residing in him?! They look a lot like each other! Even though he may be his ancestor, the similarities between the two are creepy!" Beatrice thought.
"Wow...so that's his ancestor..." Bazett said.
"Huh, so that's his ancestor, and he happens to be living in his realty marble...interesting," Morgan said.
It was the Sengo noticed Angelica. "And who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Angelica Ainsworth," Angelica greeted.
"I see. So, you're the opponent that Shirou mentioned a few days ago. I'll admit, that was a nice fight over there. You're pulling off more of a fight than that guy over there," Sengo said as he pointed at Archer Gilgamesh, who still looked angry.
"Really? Emiya Shirou fought against the actual King of Heroes before?"
"Yeah. The last time he fought against him, all he did was just stand there and rant, and in the end, my host completely humiliated him. Cut his arm off as well!"
"I see..."
"HEY! HOW DARE YOU IGNORE ME!" Archer Gilgamesh yelled as he threw another weapon at the three, forcing them to dodge.
As they dodged, Muramasa let out a sigh. "Hey! That's rude of you, you know! You can't just throw weapons at people just to get attention!" he yelled.
"SHUT UP YOU LOWLY BLACKSMITH! HOW DARE OF YOU TO SPEAK TO ME THAT WAY! OR ELSE DO YOU WANT TO MEET THE SAME FATE AS THEM?!" Archer Gilgamesh yelled back.
"How can I?! We're already dead you idiot! Speaking of which, I have a feeling that the reason why you've been trying to kill my host is because of your jealously of him, so knock it off!" Sengo yelled.
Archer Gilgamesh's anger grew even further. "HUH?! JEALOUS?! OF THE FAKER?! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT! JUST WHAT MAKES YOU ASSUME THAT YOU MONGREL?!"
"Well, for starters, I'm pretty sure that you don't have a mystic code like that in you so-called treasury! Second, I think you don't even have a gundam in your treasury, although I'm not sure how you can even fit something that big of a size in there! Third, as I mentioned a while ago, you don't have any of the Muramasa blades!"
Archer Gilgamesh was getting angrier by the second upon hearing Sengo's words. However, his next sentence was the last straw.
"And finally, my host has the King of Knights' and her counterparts' love for him! Why?! Simple! He's not a perverted asshole unlike you! If anything, you could learn some manners from him and be a decent so-called king of heroes for once!"
At that moment, Shirou, Arturia, and her counterparts blushed at Sengo's words while Archer Gilgamesh completely lost it. "OH, THAT IS IT! YOU WILL DIE BY MY HAND IN A PATHETIC DEATH! I HOPE YOU DIE LIKE THE WORM THAT YOU ARE!" In an instant, a sword appeared in his hand, and he began to run at Sengo Muramasa."DIE!"
Sengo let out a sigh. "This brat never learns..." And to everyone's surprise, he immediately lunged towards Archer Gilgamesh with great speed. As he got to close range, he pulled his right arm back before releasing an punch right into Archer Gilgamesh's stomach. Upon feeling the hard punch in his stomach again, Archer Gilgamesh coughed and dropped the sword he was holding. "You...mongrel..." he groaned as he was feeling the pain.
"Shut up you damn brat," Sengo replied.
And with great force, he knocked Archer Gilgamesh out and launched him into the sky with his punch, making him fly for a great amount of distance away. Eventually, he landed in a nearby field, facing flat on the ground. Sengo let out a sigh of relief as he wiped his hands. "So uncivilized..." he muttered.
Everyone was silent for a moment until some of the servants in the crowd started cheering and laughing, especially the ones that had a grudge against him or hated him.
"There it is! The legendary punch that made the King of Heroes turn into a punching bag!" Jaguar-Man yelled.
"Yes! This is the best day ever!" Lancer Cu said with laughter while his counterparts were doing the same as well.
"Ha! Take that you bastard! Never mess with mother or else you'll get punched by his ancestor!" Mordred yelled with excitement.
"Hahahahahahahaha! It happened again! Goldie sure had his ass kicked this time! Or rather punched, but I don't care! Hahahahahahaha!" Ishtar yelled as she was laughing.
"Holy shit! That punch is strong enough to make the King of Heroes fly like a ragdoll! How pathetic of him!" Beatrice yelled.
"Wow! My clairvoyance did not predict this great moment!" Proto-Merlin said as she was in awe over what she just saw.
"Yup! And this time, I brought a camera just to record it!" Merlin replied as he was recording it.
"I shall dub this punch 'The Muramasa Punch'!" Nobunaga said with a grin on her face as she was laughing.
"Holy shit. That punch actually made the King of Heroes fly into the sky..." Hakuno said with awe.
"Okay. I need to learn from him how to punch people like that..." Bazett said.
"That arm strength...quite impressive for a man his age," Scathach said with interest.
"Damn it, I should have known this was going to happen..." Kid Gil said with disappointment.
Caster Gilgamesh let out a sigh. "He has no sense of dignity..."
Enkidu let out a sigh. "I'll go get him...later..."
As most of the servants in the crowd were cheering at what Sengo just did, Angelica was in shock with what just happened. "I just saw the King of Heroes...getting punched from a blacksmith and being flown across the field...what the hell..."
Sengo then walked away from the crowd and headed back to Emiya Residence and sat on the porch there. "Okay, now that the spoiled brat that interrupted the fight between you two is now knocked out and should not make any more trouble, get on with the fight you two were having earlier!"
"Hm? Ah, yes," Shirou said.
"Yeah. We still have a match to finish..." Angelica replied as a portal appeared behind her. As she did, she let out a few words. "You know, you're the second person that forced me to use this..."
"And let me guess, the first person that forced you to use your greatest treasure happened to be your world's counterpart of me?" Shirou guessed.
"Yeah. Although he didn't force me to use it. I just chose to use it to end him." It was then EA completely appeared in front of both Shirou and Angelica. "I wonder, will you survive like how he did?"
Shirou let out a smirk. "Well then...let's find out, shall we?" he said as he unsheathed his Muramasa blade from its sheath.
Angelica let out a smirk as well, knowing that something was going to happen now. "Bring it."
Shirou then pointed his Muramasa blade at Angelica and began to chant.
*Cue Fate/Grand Order OST: Epic of Remnant-EMIYA*
"I'm not the King of Knights, Arturia.
I'm not the one praised as the Hound of Ireland, Cu.
I'm not the Witch of Betrayal, Medea.
I'm not the great hero, Hercules.
I'm not the wandering swordsman, Sasaki.
I'm not the fallen goddess, Medusa.
And I'm not the counter guardian of humanity, EMIYA.
Why, out of all people, I, a magus, was summoned.
For being unable to foresee that, this is your defeat."
Arturia and her counterparts, Ishtar and her counterparts, Parvati, Kama, BB and her sisters, Illya and her counterparts, Miyu, Astraea, Jaguar-Man, and Irisviel's eyes widen with fear upon hearing that chant. "That chant...he's using that noble phantasm. Oh no...please be safe..."
"Once seeking for the ultimate blade.
A blade of steel cutting no flesh, nor bones and neither life.
What I seek for is the clearance of resentment.
The cutting of bonds, fate and destiny."
Shirou then raised his katana in the air. As he did, every sword that was in Shirou's reality marble started to light up, went on fire, and then suddenly disappeared. Afterwards Shirou's katana started to glow up to the point where it looked like it was on fire. Not only that, but Shirou had a red aura around him that was swirling around him like a harsh wind. Meanwhile, the same was happening with Angelica as violent red winds were swirling around her and EA upon the activation of it.
"Whoa! You can feel the breeze from both of them!" Romani yelled.
"Obviously! They're about to unleash their noble phantasms!" Olga Marie yelled.
"Holy shit! I can feel how fierce their auras are from these winds!" Gudako yelled.
"Senpai! This is just like before, isn't it?!" Mashu asked.
"Yeah! Brace yourselves everyone!" Ritsuka replied.
"Fou!"
Meanwhile, Angelica had her eyes on Shirou's Muramasa blade during his chant. While she may have EA in her hands, she was cautious as she immediately knew this was not a normal blade she was facing with. "That katana...I have a bad feeling about it. Unlike my world's Emiya Shirou who retaliated EA with just a large number of blades that was rendered futile, this sword seems like it could stand up to EA...I can't let my guard down..."
"That is, to free oneself from Karma."
"Upon one's arrival are countless tools.
Carved over a thousand blades, forming a pile of swords.
This is the place where all paths cross.
This is the place where all desires flow.
This is the place where all deaths await.
My whole life was for this single swing."
Soon, both servants had their weapons fully charged. Neither of them said a word as they were focused on giving the opponent everything they got in their hands.
"Return to the beginning! Enuma Elish!"
"The heart of the blade is right here!
Take this, this is my Tsumugari Muramasa!"
At that moment, both opponents swung their swords at each other. A giant beam of light and raging red winds came from EA while a swing along with pillars of fire that suddenly came out of the ground just clashed with each other, making everyone shield their eyes from the clash between Tsumugari Muramasa and EA. Not only that, but the winds from each of them blew hard enough for some of the trees and flowers to be affected by the winds as well, and everyone was covering themselves from the harsh winds.
Nobody knew how long the clash between the two weapons lasted as they were forced to protect themselves from the pillars of flames, lights, and winds between the two. For everyone, it felt like an eternity waiting for the clash between the two noble phantasms to stop. Eventually, all of that ended and everyone in the stands soon opened their eyes and unblocked themselves, seeing what the result was.
In the field were both Shirou and Angelica, who were just in the swinging poses, and they did not move a single muscle.
"Well, who do you think won, senpai?" Mashu whispered to Ritsuka.
"Well, let's find out and see..."
Meanwhile, Shirou and Angelica did not say nor do anything as they were stuck in their poses. For a few seconds, nothing happened between the two. Then Shirou and Angelica then stood.
"Well...did you get your answer?" Shirou asked.
Angelica let out a smile. "Yeah, and I'm completely satisfied," she said as she began to fall onto the ground in exhaustion. As she did, she looked at Shirou, who seemed to be still standing and looking at her. "Huh...this is quite ironic. A long time ago, I was the one that looked down on my world's Emiya Shirou when I defeated him. Now it's the opposite, although with a different world's Emiya Shirou...heh, quite ironic."
For a moment, everyone was silent before Da Vinci yelled out the results of the fight. "And it looks like the winner is...EMIYA SHIROU!"
Arturia and her counterparts, Ishtar and her counterparts, Parvati, Kama, BB and her sisters, Illya and her counterparts, Miyu, Astraea, Jaguar-Man, and Irisviel let out a sigh of relief while everyone else in the stands cheered.
"Nice fight kid! You sure pulled off quite a show there!" Lancer Cu yelled.
"Amazing! As expected from my praetor!" Nero exclaimed.
"So that's his second noble phantasm! Quite amazing I must say!" Oda Nobunaga said.
"Give us a ride on that gundam over there later Shirou!" Nursery yelled.
"Shirou-kun! Teach me how to do that!" Musashi yelled as she was in awe of the aerial battle.
"So, that is what Emiya Shirou is...interesting..." Morgan said with a smirk on her face.
"Wow...he actually beat that doll, and she was at full power too..." Beatrice muttered in disbelief.
"Yes. It seems there is quite the difference between your world's Emiya Shirou and this world's Emiya Shirou..." Bazett replied.
Meanwhile, Angelica looked at the servants who were cheering in the stands. "Wow. Seems everyone there enjoyed the match we just had," she said.
"Yeah..." At that exact moment to everyone's surprise, EA started to crack and eventually started to fall apart into pieces. Even Shirou was slightly surprised upon seeing EA break. "Hey...your weapon..." he said.
"Hm? Ah this? Well, it's a counterfeit made from a card to begin with, so it is not the same as the original. However, I did not expect you to break it in our match." Angelica then looked in the distance where Archer Gilgamesh was knocked out by Sengo Muramasa. "Looks like he won't be hearing this conversation."
"Yeah. It's probably a good thing. He would have gone berserk and try to kill us again if he sees EA broken like this. Well, a copy that is," Shirou replied as he lowered his hand to Angelica. "Need some help?"
Angelica let out a chuckle. "As frustrating as it is, yes." She then grabbed onto Shirou's arm and lifted herself up. "Anyways, you're completely different from the Emiya Shirou I know of. And you possess various things that he doesn't even have as well. Especially that giant mech over there..." she said as she eyed the gundam.
"Yeah. I have a weird feeling that I'm going to be interrogated very soon after this because of that, along with the mystic code as well." Shirou then raised his hand. "Anyways, it's a bit too late, but welcome to Chaldea, Angelica."
"Yeah. It will be a pleasure to work with you...Shirou-sama."
At that moment, everyone went silent upon hearing Angelica's words, including Shirou.
"EHHHHHHHHHH?!" Everyone yelled.
"Wait, wait, wait! Why are you calling me Shirou-sama?!" Shirou asked in disbelief.
"Well, you're Illya-sama's big sister, aren't you?" Angelica replied, not sure what the confusion or the yelling was about.
"Well yeah, but do you have to call me by that too?"
"Yes. You defeated me after all. Plus, aren't you glad that I'm going to stop calling you Faker now?"
"Well..." Shirou studdered as he was trying to come up with an answer. However, before he could do so, it was then he realized he was floating in the air. "What the-I'm flying?! How?!" As he was floating in the air, it was then he was hovering towards a certain servant.
That servant was Morgan, and Arturia, her counterparts, and Mordred were not taking it well. "Morgan! What do you think you're doing?!" Arturia yelled.
"Hm? Oh, I feel like learning about Emiya Shirou a bit more...in various ways..." she said with a sly grin on her face.
Arturia, her counterparts, and Mordred's blood went cold upon hearing Morgan's words. "WHAT?!"
"Um...Morgan, just why?" Ritsuka asked nervously.
"Isn't it obvious, my dear husband? Emiya Shirou possesses various things even I don't have any knowledge of. Those noble phantasms, that giant contraption, this reality marble, the spirit of the blacksmith living in said reality marble, that mystic code, all that interests me. Not to mention the fact that he was able to possess a Fae item inside of him for ten years. I need to learn how he achieved all of that, by any means necessary."
Arturia, her counterparts, and Mordred drew out their weapons upon hearing her words. "Morgan...leave Shirou...ALONE." Arturia and her counterparts said with anger in their voices.
"You heard her. Leave mother...ALONE." Mordred said with anger in her voice.
Morgan let out a smirk. "Sorry sister and Mordred, but I can't do that. I have some questions to ask him." She then floated out of the stands and landed on the ground. "See you."
And she began to run.
"MORGAAAANNNN!" Arturia, her counterparts, and Mordred yelled as they began to run towards her and the captive Shirou.
"My knights! Protect me!" Morgan yelled.
"Yes!" the Fairy Knights of the Round said in unison as they got out from the stands and went for Arturia, her counterparts, and Mordred. However, they were blocked from the original Knights of the Round.
"We won't let you get in the way of our king!" the Knights of the Round said in unison.
Soon, a fight began with the groups of knights in front of the stands. At the same time, some of the servants in the stands got out upon seeing Morgan kidnap Shirou.
"Damn it! That idiot got himself in a messy situation again!" Ishtar yelled as she floated off the stands with her counterparts following her.
"Let's follow them! I have a bad feeling about this!" Parvati yelled, which Kama, BB and her sisters nodded in agreement.
"Onii-chan's been kidnapped! Let's get him!" Illya yelled as she along with Kuro, Sitonai, and Miyu got off the stands as well.
"That woman is bad news for Sherou!" Astraea yelled as she flew from the stands.
"God damn it! Another woman is trying to take Shirou away! I won't let that happen!" Jaguar-man yelled as she began to jump from the stands and perform many front flips before landing on the ground. "Get back here!" she yelled as she began to run after Morgan.
"Oh my...Shirou's been kidnapped...I don't know what to say or do..." Irisviel said in shock.
"Well I do." Kiritsugu then pulled out a sniper rifle out of nowhere and began to aim for Morgan. "It's time for me to kill a bitch," he snarled.
"Old man..." EMIYA and EMIYA Alter said with wide eyes as they just saw Kiritsugu go out of character for once.
"Hey! Wait up!" Olga Marie yelled as she began to leave the stands and run after Morgan, surprising Ritsuka, Mashu, Gudako, Romani, and Da Vinci.
"Director?!" they all said in unison.
"What?! I have some questions to ask him as well, and I'm the one who asked first before she took him! And I also have questions for Angelica as well about her magecraft!" Olga Marie replied before she began to look back at Morgan, who was running off with Shirou. "Get back here!"
"W-Wait up, director!" Ritsuka, Gudako, and Mashu yelled as they began to chase her as well.
"Fou!" Fou yelled as he began to follow them.
As the four were chasing the director, Romani and Da Vinci looked at the scene in shock. "Wow. I never seen the director like this..." Da Vinci said.
"You can say that again. This is the first time I've ever seen her chase after a servant. She's definitely changed..." Romani replied with a chuckle.
Everyone else in the stands watched the spectacle or Morgan running away. Meanwhile, Sengo looked at the scene with a sigh as he was letting out smoke from his pipe. "Well, looks like my host has more trouble to deal with..."
(Meanwhile in the Kaleidoscope...)
Zelretch was laughing like a maniac after witnessing the events. "Okay, I did not expect this at all from young Emiya Shirou! First was the gundam in the reality marble, now he can become a gundam as well! And that punch! I did not expect to see the King of Heroes getting his ass kicked by Sengo Muramasa! This is probably the best show I've ever seen in a long time! Just how much longer can he keep entertaining me?!" Zeltretch continued to laugh for a while until he calmed himself down. "But still, I did not expect to see those girls from that pruned timeline..."
As he let out a sigh, a thought came into his mind.
"And speaking of which, that alien god will make her move soon...and I think I know who her first target is..."
After the fight was over, Shirou, Angelica, and surprisingly Muramasa's popularity skyrocketed.
In Shirou's case, it was because of the way he fought in that fight, the fact that he possesses two gundams, albeit from different series, and the image of him breaking EA with his noble phantasm.
In Angelica's case, it was because she was considered a nicer version of the King of Heroes, which was all that needed to be said. Archer Gilgamesh was not amused by the fact that she has more popularity than him.
And in Sengo's case, he punched the King of Heroes again and made him fly in the sky like a rag doll, which practically everyone loved to see. Even Chaldea gave his punch a few titles as well like "The Muramasa Punch," or "The Punch that makes the King of Heroes weak," or "The Anti-King Punch." Not only that, but he received the title, "The strongest blacksmith."
Later, rumors began to spread about the fact that Shirou possesses the Strike Freedom Gundam and can turn into the 00 Raiser throughout the servants of Chaldea. It also did not help that Da Vinci admitted that she was the one who created it a year ago. Thus, she was bombarded with various requests from staff and servants for their own as well. During the chaos, a certain title was given upon him, especially for the otakus.
The Gundam Meister of Chaldea.
Speaking of which, Archer Gilgamesh later found out about Angelica's EA breaking apart from Shirou's Tsumugari Muramasa.
He did not take it well.
It took all of Chaldea, Enkidu, and the threat of Muramasa's punch to calm him down.
