A blizzard runs rampant outside of Chaldea. Though calling it a "blizzard" is just for comedic sake. The world is nothing more than barren wasteland, deprived of any form of life. The "blizzard" is the result of the paradox being viewed by the naked eye as it slams into the structure's shield with merciless ferocity trying to erase its existence.
The perspective changes to the Holy Grail contained in a blue sphere as it hovers besides two hands, with windows showing the owner massive amounts of information.
[It's no use. With the Singularities destabilizing the space/time axis, I can't get a clear view of their point of origin]
"So, we're back to square one." I surmised.
[we will need to gather more Holy Grails before we can make any progress and for that, we need to restore the other Singularities]
The sphere vanishes and the grail falls on my hands. I stand up from my bed and make my way towards the door, "da Vinci might have a use for this." As the door slides open, he sees a familiar face. "Mashu?"
"O-oh! Good morning, Frank-san. I didn't think you were awake." Mashu stuttered in surprise.
"That's because I didn't go to sleep." I told her.
"Really? That's no good, Frank-san. You should always get at least 7 hours of sleep." Mashu scolded.
[What is she? Our mom?]
I nod. "Okay, I will."
Mashu smiles. "Great. The director wants to see you. Her office is just at the end of this hall to your right."
"Got it." Mashu walks away and the door closes.
[I suppose it's better than nothing. Let's see what dear ol' Olga wants from us]
"Hm." I walk out of my room and head right. After a couple thousand steps, I arrive at two eloquent double doors with an oak red finish; a clear contrast to the metallic white of the facility.
I knock on the door four times and a familiar voice is heard from the other side. "Who is it?"
"It's Frank. Mashu said that you wished to see me." I replied, causing a tiny "eep" to come from the other side.
"F-Frank!? J-Just give me a second!" A series of noises can be heard from the other side.
*CRASH*
*BANG*
*BANG*
*CRASH*
*SILENCE~*
And then… it suddenly stopped.
The twin doors split open, revealing a well furnished western office. To the right of the room are rows of bookcases full to the brim with books while to the left is a family of furniture and a small cabinet with a lamp on top. In the middle is a mahogany desk with a computer monitor on its left and behind the desk is Olga Marie Animusphere herself.
Olga Marie sits behind her desk, her stance and sharp gaze exudes professionalism and self-confidence but not enough to be arrogant.
"Welcome. I have been expecting you." Olga Marie gestures to the chair on her right. "Please, have a seat."
[Who is she trying to fool with this act?]
I sit down and stare directly at Olga's golden brown eyes.
"So, you can guess why I called you here, yes?" Olga Marie asked.
"... you have questions for me." I surmised.
Olga Marie nods. "After what I've seen, of course I would have questions."
I nod. I expected this and prepared myself for the inevitable interrogation.
To my surprise though, the girl took a very deep breath before suddenly standing up and then promptly released it all at once in an impressive outburst.
"Who do you like more!?" She burst out. "Is it Mashu or Ritsuka!? The Saint!? The dragon lolis!? The snake goddess!? The King of England!?" But she didn't stop there. "Or is it that poisoner!? It IS her, isn't it!?"
I raise an eyebrow. Now that's a question I was not expecting, at all. And judging from her expression, she's serious.
[Huh, this is quite unexpected]
"I… do not understand." I said, clearly confused.
"Every time I saw you on screen, you were always hanging around the girls! I've spent so many hours watching and listening to you talking to them that it's become a goddamn hobby at this point! And when you finally come back, you just say 'hi' like a damn robot and then lock yourself in your room for days! It's very rude, y'know! If you don't like me, at least have the decency to say it to my face!"
The rant left the director of Chaldea out of breath and promptly collapsed on her chair.
[Look at what you did, Master. Your negligence hurt this poor girl's feelings]
"I'm..." There was nothing I could say. I was left completely speechless. "... sorry?"
Olga Marie sighs. "Whatever, it's not like you could help it, you just wanted to help." She said, "No, the fault is mine."
What?
"I should have gone with you, that way I can make sure no girl gets close to you. Or… Or…" Olga blushes in remembrance of Semiramis' kiss. "OR THAT!"
I frowned. Just where is she going with this?
[Goddammit, how the hell can you be so strong yet so fucking blind? Even your typical harem protagonist can picked up the signs]
Olga sighs. "Alright, I made up my mind." She slams her hands on the desk and stands up.
I watch her walk towards me and climb on top of me. "What are you-" She grabs ahold of my face and keeps it transfixed to meet her glaze.
"This is my first time doing this, so I want to be as accurate as possible." Olga's face leans closer to mine until…
Chu~
Olga Marie kisses me right on the lips. She quickly inserts her tongue into my mouth and begins to wrestle with mine.
[She's so daring. Kissing a guy she barely knows. Might as well return her affection, no?]
I raise my hands and, to her surprise, wrap them around her waist before pulling her closer to me causing her to moan while grinding her hips against mine.
We pull away from the heated session, a trail of saliva begins to drip down from our mouth down to our clothes.
"Wow… I… didn't expect that." Olga Marie said, her face burning red with arousal. "You certainly know how to surprise a girl."
"I… just did what I thought was best." I told her.
Olga Marie hums at my answer. "Tell me, is your obliviousness an act to have girls get closer to you?"
"I… don't think so?" I reluctantly replied. "It's just that… I don't know how to act around people, especially girls. It just doesn't feel real, you know."
"What about Assassin? What do you think of her?"
"Semiramis?" I gave it some thought. "She is… decent, albeit a bit eccentric. She wants people to treat her with the respect that comes from a person of her status, yet I can tell she yearns for someone to stand with her; an equal. Though I could very well be wrong about that, too." I said.
"... I see." The director had new insight on the Servant's character.
"Ara? Why did you two stop? I wanna watch you two do the nasty." A familiar voice echoes through the room.
The two turn to see da Vinci on screen with a perverted grin.
"H-How long have you been watching!?" A flustered Olga asks.
Da Vinci slowly moved her finger to poke her lower lip, as if considering how to answer. "... how about we settle on why I'm calling, m'kay?"
Translation: Since the beginning.
"Well, out with it already." Olga Marie growled.
"It's nothing serious. We just need you at the Command Center for a minor check up on the SHEBA." da Vinci said.
"Then have Romani do it." Olga Marie said.
"Romani doesn't have the technical know-how to operate the SHEBA, so you're the best option since… well, you know…" da Vinci tries to avoid the subject.
Olga Marie sighs. "Fine, I get it. I'm on my way." She gets off me and proceeds to leave the office.
"So~" A mischievous da Vinci turns her attention to me. "Did she have a limber tongue? Was she dripping wet under her skirt?"
"... goodbye, da Vinci." I stood up and promptly left.
"Welp, looks like Romani owes me a back massage~" da Vinci smiles and the screen shuts off.
I walk through the metal halls of the facility as technicians quickly pass me by, all giving me an uncertain and often fearful look in their eyes.
I do not blame them for that. Humans fear things that they do not understand and/or control. And when you have an impossible existence who can fight Servants and win with barely any effort it would make the average bystander become a little jumpy when you're near them.
I enter the cafeteria to find Salter surrounded by over 50 plates of hamburgers as she eats them in one gulp. I then turn my attention to the kitchen where I see a familiar red hero working tirelessly on his next dish.
[It seems Gudako succeeded on bringing him back]
"Oi." I called out.
EMIYA stops and turns his head to look at me. "Oh, I didn't hear you come in."
"Welcome back." I said.
"Hn." EMIYA hums in acknowledgement and quickly goes back to work.
"You should not interrupt my chef while preparing my meals, Lord Magician." Killer intent washes over my body. Turning, I see Artoria Pendragon Alter glaring at me as an aura of darkness envelops her. Her glowing yellow eyes add to the feeling of eeriness and dread. "His culinary skills may suffer. And should they suffer, I will not hesitate to turn this building into a pile of molten metal and ash. Am I understood?"
[It seems we are not wanted here. Let's go somewhere else]
I nod and quickly leave the cafeteria.
[Note to self: never interrupt the king while she's eating]
As I make my way through the maze that is Chaldea, I go into another random room which appears to be another library. Here, there are dozens of bookcases lined up neatly, with books themselves in alphabetical order.
It is, overall, quite the display of Chaldea's accumulated knowledge.
"Ara? This is unexpected. I did not know you left your room. I will make sure to skin the good doctor alive the next time I see him."
Looking up from a pile of books is Semiramis and Medusa who's too distracted to pay any attention.
Semiramis smiles. "But for now, I am just happy to see you here."
I bowed. "Your majesty."
Semiramis waves her hand in dismissal. "There is no need for that. Since we are close, you can call me by name."
"Very well." I said.
The Wise Queen of Assyria smiles and stands up. "I'm actually happy you're here." She walks towards me. "There's quite a lot of mysteries still surrounding you. And now that we're in Chaldea, we can continue our conversation," she leans close and whispers in a sensual way. "... without interruption."
The way she spoke made my body jolt with electricity. I can feel the temperature rising causing my clothes to feel stuffy.
Not to mention I am experiencing an extreme reaction in my pants.
"Ara, ara. Someone's happy to see me~" Semiramis teased as she gave me a sniff. "And it seems someone else got to you before me."
Medusa's head twitched from her pile of books.
I grab Semiramis' shoulders and push her back much to her surprise.
"N-Not now…" My face was burning red. "I-I'm not ready."
Semiramis smiles. "Very well, I will not force you. I am a patient queen after all." She heads towards the door and walks past me before suddenly stopping. "Oh, but before I forget."
Chu~
Semiramis kisses me on the lips.
"See you later, stud. And tell the Banshee to ask for MY permission the next time she wants a piece of you." With that, Semiramis leaves the room.
[Women are scary, but female Servants are even scarier]
"This feeling again…" I raise two fingers and touch my lips. "Is this… what humans call love…? Or lust?"
I glance at the hidden Servant before leaving the library.
Meanwhile, Medusa's hands tremble, desperately fighting the feeling of arousal rising within her.
"Damnit…!" Medusa groans as she tries to contain herself. "Why is this happening!? It never happened in the Singularity!?"
Just what ARE you, Frank!?
Ritsuka POV
I stared blankly at the Command Seal on my left hand, but my thoughts were elsewhere. Specifically, what Dr. Romani said an hour early.
Flashback
"Magic Core?" I asked.
"That's right." Romani nods. "It is what happens when human blood is mixed with a dragon. They hold greater capacity than any human can achieve." He states. "While humans use Magic Circuits to convert life energy into Magical Energy, dragons create Magical Energy simply by breathing, their lungs acting as spiritual worlds, and they possess traits from other types of monsters. It also grants them high-level Magic Resistance, able to easily dispel Magecraft from the Age of Gods, something that nobody in the modern era can hope to achieve."
"And you're saying I have one now?" I surmised.
"I don't know how or what caused it, but your heart has been replaced with a Magic Core." He then displays a diagram of her circuits. "Your body is currently outputting enormous amounts of Magical Energy, we don't have a certain number but is estimated to be between 1.5 to 254.5 Octillion units of Magical Energy, and that's just an educated guess."
I blink at the impossible number. "How… how many zeros is that?"
"48, like I said, it's an educated guess." Romani replies.
I almost fainted at the response. 48 zeros!?
Forget eradicating humanity, I can destroy the entire solar system if I wanted to!
"... mura-chan… Fujimura-chan!" Romani's voice snaps me out of my trance.
"Huh!?"
"I was asking how you got a Magic Core. Your ancestry didn't show any hints that you're the descendant of Dragon Slayers, so how did you gain one when it's, by all means, impossible?" Romani asked.
I try to think of an answer, but only one name leaves my mouth. "... Frank."
Now Romani's eyes widened in surprise. "Seriously!? Just where does he pull up stuff like this!?" He thinks for a moment. "But if he can do that then…"
"?" I watch as the doctor goes to his own little world. "Doctor?"
"Hm?" Romani gives me a glance.
"What's going to happen to me?" I ask in an anxious tone.
Romani sighs in defeat. "I honestly don't know, Fujimura. You are a special case. Dragons have always been the most chaotic of Phantasmal Beasts. For all we know, you could be becoming a dragon as we speak." He notes the girl's shocked expression. "Normally under regulations, we would keep you under observation 24/7, but seeing as you're the only Master left, we'll just keep you under moderate surveillance." He smiles. "Get some rest, Fujimaru-chan. You've earned it."
"Hai." I get up and leave the infirmary. But as soon as the door closes, I hear a thud followed by a tired sigh from the other side.
Flashback end
"A dragon… I don't know whether to feel scared or excited." I form a fist and smile. "But still, it's thanks to Frank we're alive. I can't blame him for losing my humanity, I was probably already going to lose it anyway since this whole mess started."
[Well, it's good to know you're acclimating to your new circumstances nicely]
"!" I stand up and look around frantically. "Who-Who said that!?"
There was no response.
"... did I imagine it?" Suddenly a knock comes from the door.
"Senpai? It's me." The voice of my kouhai comes from the outside.
I sigh in relief. "Come on in."
The door slides open and Mashu walks inside wearing her normal outfit while pulling a cart with a plate and glass of orange juice.
'Why can't she wear her Servant clothes in Chaldea? I wanna see more of her bubbly butt.' I mentally pout.
"Good morning, Senpai. I hope you had a nice rest." Mashu said with her cute smile.
I nod. "Yeah! I slept like a log!"
"That's great, because I bought you breakfast." She pulls the lid off the plate revealing it to be five stacks of chocolate-chip pancakes with a bottle of syrup and a small plate of butter on the side. "I made it myself. I hope it's to your liking."
My mouth waters at the sight of such perfect roundness before slapping both of my hands together. "Itadakimasu." I take the bottle of syrup and pour it on top of the pancakes before digging in.
"Hm~" I moan at the sweet and delicious flavor dancing in my mouth. "Delicious!"
"I'm glad you like them, senpai. It makes me so happy." Mashu said.
Sometime later, both plates are empty as well as the syrup bottle.
"Ahhh~, that was great." I moan while tapping my belly. "That had to have been the most delicious pancakes I've ever had." I turn to Mashu. "You're a really good cook, Mashu."
"O-Oh, all I did was follow the instructions on the back of the box. Anyone can do that." Mashu said flustered.
"Yeah, but it was YOU who made them, so they're extra good." I told her with a smile.
Mashu's face grows beat red. "T-Thank you."
I giggle at her embarrassed look, so adorable. "Anyways, what's on the agenda today?"
"Nothing really. Aside from essential staff, everyone's taking the day off." Mashu replies.
"Great! Then nothing will get in my way!" I exclaim as I kneel down and put my hand under my bed.
"S-Senpai…?" Mashu sees her friend/Master pull out a bag from her bed. "What is that?"
I open the bag revealing tons of familiar kaleidoscopic crystals. "These are all the Saint Quartz I collected in the Singularity."
Mashu just looks confused. "How did you manage to collect so many?"
"Oh, I did that while you weren't looking." I replied.
Mashu just gives another confused look, more confused at the fact she managed to collect this many from under her Servants' noses. Servants that have senses that are WAY better than a human's.
"Anyways, let's go! I have a promise to keep!" I exclaim and run out of the room.
"W-Wait! Senpai!" Mashu quickly runs after her senior.
Later - FATE
The Last Master and her Demi-Servant stand in front of the large summoning circle with Mashu's shield placed at its center.
"Now we can begin." I said and held up the bag of Saint Quartz.
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"... um Mashu?" I turn to my kouhai. "Shouldn't the room start to glow right now?"
Mashu sweat drops. "You're supposed to throw them in."
"... oh, really? Okay." I take out a handful of crystals at the magic circle which are immediately absorbed and the circle activates.
Ten orbs appear around the circle and begin to rotate at high speeds forming a ring of light before it expands and converges to the center.
I cover my eyes from the intense light before hearing a sudden metal clang. When I lower my arms, all I see on the floor are three long and slender rapier-like swords with extremely short hilts.
I pick up the weapons and examine them. "What is this?"
"Senpai, those are called Black Keys. They're commonly used by the Executors of the Holy Church." Mashu explains as her Master plays around with them. "In short, they are not toys. Please put it down."
"Okay." The circle lights up again and this time, it only leaves behind a dish of food. "What the?"
"Oh, that's Mapou Tofu! It's a popular Chinese dish from Sichuan province. It consists of tofu set in a spicy sauce, typically a thin, oily, and bright red suspension, based on douban, and douchi, along with minced meat, traditionally beef." Mashu states.
I pick up the dish and give it to Mashu as the magic circle summons another Black Key and picks it up.
"This really is a gacha game. But that's fine." I smile and point at the circle. "Prepare yourself! For you are facing the Tokyo Queen of Gacha herself, Fujimaru Kitsuka!"
8 Minutes Later…
"WHY!? WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME!?" I scream from the top of my lungs.
In the background is a pile of random junk that was summoned as Mashu digs herself out of that pile.
"Senpai, maybe we should call it a day. Maybe things will be better tomorrow." Mashu suggests before at the absolute insane look her Master was giving her.
"Never! I will never give up!" I bark at her. "If I fail a dozen times, then I'll try a hundred and if I fail that, then a thousand!" The light of the circle makes her look even more unhinged. "Nothing will stop me! NOTHING! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Mashu steps back in fear as her friend devolves into a gacha-crazed lunatic who pours all of her savings just for the sake of getting the one thing she wants.
"C'mon, c'mon… please o' great gacha gods." I prayed to the circle. "JUST GIVE ME WHAT I WANT FOR ONCE!"
As if answering her prayer, a familiar red gauntlet appears on her left arm.
"[BOOST]!" The green gem on its backhand lights up and her user's body is coated in crimson energy which then travels to the summoning circle causing it, and the room, to turn red, unleashing gusts of wind.
"S-Senpai!" Mashu calls out as she tries to get closer but can't due to the strong wind currents. As she uses her arms to shield her face, she manages to get a glimpse at Ritsuka's shadow, except it isn't a human shadow at all.
It was a dragon's.
Also, did she seem… taller for some reason?
The sudden burst of wind begins to wane as the room goes back to its normal state. Mashu looks up and gaps as she sees a familiar figure standing in the middle.
"Whoa. I'm back?" EMIYA said as he looked around.
Tears begin to swell in my eyes. "Archer!" I jump forward and give the Servant a crushing hug.
"Oof! Hello there, Master." EMIYA said but soon cringes from the pain. "Could you let go now? You're… crushing me…!"
I quickly let go and my face turned red. "Sorry."
"Gotta say, you've got some arm strength." He then sees the red gauntlet on her arm. "I'm going to guess that is the source of your strength."
"Huh?" I look down and see the gauntlet. "Where the heck did you come from!?"
EMIYA stares at the gauntlet and uses his Structural Analysis to get a more detailed look.
[It's quiet rude to stare at a lady like that, ya know]
Only for the Servant to grunt in pain from a massive headache.
What the–What is that thing!?
"Archer…?" The voice of the girl seemed to make the pain fade a little.
The Nameless Hero gives her Master a half smile. "I'm fine, Master. I'm just a little nauseous, that's all."
Mashu raises an indigo eyebrow. Servants can get nausea?
Suddenly the doors open and Salter walks into the room.
"Master, I felt a disturbance. Are you well?" She asks in her usual flat tone before her attention shifts to EMIYA. "You have returned."
"Yes." EMIYA said in a low tone.
Was EMIYA… afraid?
"Good. I am hungry." Salter walks up to the altar and grabs EMIYA by the collar.
"H-Hey! Not so hard!" EMIYA said as he dragged out of the room.
The two girls stare blankly at what just happened before their attention returns to the summoning circle activating once more.
"Yahoo! My name is Astolfo! Rider Class!" The new Servant bombastically exclaims. "And, and...umm, nice to meet you!"
The two continue staring at the new arrival with a seemingly empty look.
Astolfo grows anxious. "Um, did I do something?"
Later
The two girls show Astolfo around Chaldea until running into someone.
"Ara, who's this cutie?" Semiramis asked.
Mashu points to him. "This is Senpai's new Rider-class Servant. His name is Astolfo."
"Nice to meet ya~" Astolfo holds up his right hand.
Semiramis stares at the newcomer with apprehension. Has she met him before? That can't be right.
Also, did Master have a growth spurt while she wasn't looking?
"Say, Sera-chan." The Servant's eyebrow twitches. "Where are you going?"
Semiramis takes a deep breath. "First off, I told you never to call me that. Second, I'm heading to the library. Frank has locked himself in his room with the Holy Grail and hasn't come out since. I told the doctor to let me know when he leaves." She states. "In the meantime, I need to keep myself distracted or else I may do something unspeakable."
The two girls gulp at the nonchalant tone in the Servant's voice.
She's serious.
"W-Well, why not try the library? I'm sure you'll find a good book to keep your mind off things." Mashu suggested.
"Hm." Semiramis hummed at the idea. "Very well. I will see what modern-era literature has to offer."
With that, the queen walks the opposite direction and the trio go back to their tour.
"Oi, Master!" Cu and Lu Bu walk towards them.
"Hey, guys." I said.
"Hello Cu-san, Lu Bu-san." Mashu bows.
"Hm?" Cu notices the new girl standing between them and smirks. "Who's the cutie?"
"This is Astolfo. He's the new Servant Senpai summoned today." Mashu states.
"That's grea–WAIT, HE!?" Cu exclaims.
Astolfo puffs his chest. "Yup! I am 100% a human male!"
"Not again!" Cu sulks in the corner of the hall. "Why must the gods do this to me? I haven't done anything wrong."
Astolfo looks at Cu's depressed form and laughs. "Hahaha! He's funny! I think I'm gonna like it here!"
Lu Bu just huffs at the warrior's unnecessary state.
"Shut up! I don't wanna hear it from a bloodthirsty bastard like you!" Cu yelled.
Lu Bu lets out a growl as a response.
This made Cu stand up. "Look, I love fighting as much as you, but I also love the subtle touch of the female body!"
"..." Lu Bu turns around and leaves.
"Fine! Just don't get jealous when I'm drowning in a sea of hot babes!" Cu yells.
Astolfo leans closer to Mashu. "How did he understand all of that? All I heard were growls and grunts."
"Just don't question it." Mashu replies.
"Anyways," Their attention turns back to the Lancer-class Servant. "Do you guys wanna train? I was going to the Simulator to train, but now that Berserker left, I don't have a training partner."
"While that sounds nice, I'm afraid we-"
"Sure!" I exclaim catching Mashu by surprise.
"S-Senpai!?"
Cu arches an eyebrow. "Are you sure? You're gonna be sparring against a Servant. And I DON'T pull my punches."
"And I don't want you to. I got this itch that needs some scratching." I smirk, showing off a pair of really sharp teeth.
'This girl, she's different from before.' He notices a red aura coming off her. 'I can practically see her battle aura. She wants it badly.'
"Well, what kind of man would I be if I reject a lady's request?" Cu smirks.
I glance at Mashu. "Continue the tour without me, Mashu."
"Senpai, this is dangerous! Cú Chulainn is known for his ferocity in battle! You'll need support!" Mashu counters.
I give her a smile. "Don't worry, everything will be alright. But first, I need to get changed."
Mashu watches as the two walk back to Senpai's room, all the while a confused Astolfo looks back and forth.
"Well, that's surprising. Who knew Master-chan was a musclehead?" Astolfo smiles. "Yup. I'll definitely like it here."
The duo enter a dark room before the lights turn on, revealing a large white room.
My new outfit consists of sport shorts and top along with a pair of running shoes and fingerless gloves.
"So, this is the Simulator." Cu turns to his Master. "So, how do we get this place running?"
I walk to a nearby controller and push a couple of buttons. In that instant, the room quickly transforms into a massive stone arena with a stack of training weapons on the side.
Cu whistles. "Nice." He takes a training stick from the pile before walking into the arena and gets into a battle stance. "So, are you ready?"
A red gauntlet materializes in her left arm. "[DRAGON BOOSTER]"
Cu looks confused at the sudden appearance of the gauntlet and instantly recognizes it as a Noble Phantasm. "What the hell is that?"
"Don't know. It was something Frank gave me in order to protect me." I replied.
"You do realize that's the arm of a dragon, right?"
"Yeah, and it's changing me from the inside." I smirk and get ready. "C'mon, spear boy. Don't keep me waiting!"
"So feisty, but for how long." Cu smirks and vanishes from sight before reappearing right in front of me, thrusting his stick towards my stomach.
"[BOOST]" The gauntlet declares and the young lady manages to dodge him.
Cu was surprised. His A-Rank Agility allowed to go faster than the speed of sound. Yet she managed to dodge.
A human dodged him!
"Well, that was unexpected." Cu remarks but not before he is sent flying back courtesy of a sucker punch delivered by his Master.
"Don't get distracted on me now, Cu!" I charge forward and go for another attack.
Cu sees this and twists his body and parries the red fist with his training stick, however, the force from the punch causes the stick to break in two and fly upwards.
Cu stares at his broken stick as the other piece soon falls behind him. "If I had taken that punch, I would have been knocked out for sure." He smiles and looks at her Master. "That guy sure gave you one hell of a gift."
I smile at Cu's praise. I was about to go for another punch when-
"[RESET]"
My face meets the floor with an audible thud. My body feels like it's been crushed by an iron or something.
With her down, the simulation deactivates as the computer dictates Cu as the winner.
"Dammit…" I groaned.
"Hey, you alright there?" Cu asks.
I slowly move my head upwards to barely meet his gaze. "No. My body is sore all over."
"Yeah. Whatever energy your body had is already gone. I guess there's a limit to how much you can 'Boost'." Cu said
"Ugh." I try to stand up but my limbs feel like noodles. "A little help?"
Cu grabs his Master and picks her with ease, bridal style.
"Y'know, people might think we're married or something." Cu teased.
"Shut it…" My voice was becoming groggy by the second.
Cu chuckles before his attention shifts to the doors as they open and a familiar face walks in.
"Frank…" That's all I could say before I fall asleep.
Normal POV
I look and the first thing I see is Gudako in Cu's arms.
[It seems we may have walked in on something]
"What happened?" I asked.
"Nothing. She's just tired." Cu replies.
I walk up to the unconscious girl and stare at her sleeping face before slowly raising arm and grabbing her left hand.
[Her lifeforce is stable. It seems she has merely reached her physical limit with the Boosted Gear]
"Give her to me. I'll take her back to her room." I said.
Cu complies and gives the girl to the mystery boy.
"Don't move." Cu watches the boy disappear and reappear all in an instant.
"... how did you do that?" An awestruck Cu asks.
"I simply imagined myself in Ritsuka's room and I was there. Then it was only a matter of sensing your energy and reappearing in front of you." I explained which just bewildered the Servant more.
"... what?" Was all that came out of Cu's mouth.
I shake my head. "It doesn't matter." I step deeper into the Simulator and look around. "Say," I turned to the Servant, "didn't you say you wanted to fight me?"
Cu blinks before a bloodthirsty grin appears on his face.
Later
The two stand on the same virtual arena Cu and Ritsuka fought, but now Cu has Gáe Bolg perched on his shoulder.
"So, how will we do this?" Cu smirks. "Will you come to me? Do I come to you? Or maybe at the same time?"
[Does he not hear the sexual innuendos he's spouting? He must be asking for people to see him in a weird way]
"I guess I'll get things started!" Cu rushes forward at impossible speeds straight towards his seemingly defenseless prey.
With a blank look, I tap my foot at the floor causing a chunk of earth to rise and hit Cu in the jaw just meters away from reaching me.
Cu quickly regains his bearings and lands on a pillar, which he uses as a foothold to propel himself towards me. He throws an onslaught of stabs at me, but I easily dodge them all.
"Stop dodging and fight already!" Cu yelled.
"Okay." I grab the pole of his spear and deliver a powerful haymaker square in his face.
"Guah!" Cu spits blood and teeth, his nose is broken and caved into his face. He steps back, his hand grasping his face firmly.
Blood drips from my fist as I pick up Gáe Bolg. "Are you finished?" I throw the spear at Cu who easily catches it.
Cu lets go off his face and gives me a bloody smile. "Not even close."
[This guy just doesn't give up. A single punch nearly caved his face in and he still wants more? I will never understand these people]
"You better not hold back. Because I'm not!" He gets into a fighting stance again, though something is different this time. He lowers his spear and it begins to radiate a red glow that seems to get more intense by the second.
[Looks like he's getting serious. We better do the same]
"Gáe… Bolg!" The spear turned into red light and moved at impossible angles; all just to strike me dead.
"The World!" Everything around me turns gray as time halts to a complete stand still. The sharp end of Gáe Bolg just a few meters from reaching my chest.
I walk out of the way and make my way towards a frozen Cu and stop right in front of him.
"Machine Gun Blow." I unleash a chain of punches so fast that it makes my arms appear to be moving at the speed of light.
"Time will resume." I order and the world regains its color.
Cu's body is suddenly lifted upwards by a series of hits from all over his body. His brain can't rationalize over what is happening due to the intense pain he is being subjected to.
I look as Cu falls back to the arena. His body is bruised to the point that he doesn't look human, but a cluster of bloody lumps.
The computer deactivates the simulation as Cu can no longer battle.
[That fight was three minutes long. You weren't even trying]
I stare at Cu before raising my hand and envelop the Servant with healing light and he is healed instantly.
[You realize once he wakes up, he'll demand a rematch]
"I hope so. I want him to get stronger." I smile a little.
[I think hanging around these people has rubbed off on you in a bad way]
"Hm." I turn around and walk out of the training room.
As soon as I leave, Cu's eyes snap open and quickly stand upright.
"... yeah, you better run!" Cu yelled to no one.
Author Notes
Here it is. After 6 months, he is the next update. Olga Marie finally gives Frank that kiss she always wanted, and Semiramis really wants to get in his pants.
Gudako has a Magic Core much like Artoria and Siegfried, making her much stronger than her canon self. The idea of her growing taller was based on how Sieg changed when he was given Siegfried's heart, and just like him, Gudako is slowly transforming into a dragon.
Also, the voice she hears sometimes is NOT Draig but someone else. As for who, that'll be covered in the future.
Honestly, I think this and Grand Journey have the potential to be two of my longest stories ever. I'm kind of excited about what those chapters may look like in the future.
Anyways, finals are next week so I better start studying.
Next updates:
A Gamer's Grand Journey ReMix (2 chapters)
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Broken Light
RWBY: Deck of Fate
Evangelion: Time Can(not) be Rewritten
Omni Ranger
Peace~
