nanox876: It won't just be Shirou. Although they can sense each other, they'll manipulate their hosts into killing or dominating the others. I've already foreshadowed the hosts during the previous chapters with the cameos.
superpierce: Shirou made them.
Chapter 05: The Vigilante's Casual Day
Several feet in the depths of Mt Enzou, {All of the World's Evil} considered his next moves.
Angra Mainyu surveyed his handiwork, looking over the corrupted Grail in satisfaction. Above him was a gigantic orb which shone with faint pearly light, while it's surface was almost covered in corrupted prana, thick enough to be solid.
"Grghl..."
The near formless god looked down on his toy. Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern feebly struggled in her bonds, too weak to make any worthwhile resistance.
She was a tall silver haired homunculus normally dressed in an ornamental white and red dress. Her current situation was anything but regal or noble.
She was strapped down against a rough hewn altar with her clothes tattered, although slowly repairing themselves. Angra Mainyu nodded in satisfaction at the sight as he had put a lot of effort into slowly retrieving Justeaze's sense of self from the Greater Grail.
All for his physical enjoyment, naturally. As he indulged himself in her frankly top class body, the First Einzbern Homunculus had possessed a surprisingly stubborn will. Although, it just made everything better as she struggled, fighting to hold back futile moans as the woman, who had never even experienced an orgasm in her life till he gave it to her, fell to them repeatedly.
"Still, this is vexing." Angra Mainyu muttered to himself as he went to fondle her large breasts again, causing the Einzbern to blush and groan when he straddled her. "A while ago, I could've sworn I felt an Aspect of mine go active somewhere... The Priest is accounted for. So is the Shadow... The Mud however has been destroyed... No matter, I am the original. If their plans clash or correlate with mine, I'll meet them eventually. Now then..."
Justeaze gasped sharply as Angra Mainyu teased her entrance then thrusted sharply into her, unknowingly broadcasting her sensations to all others connected to her. Angra Mainyu, who was aware of what was happening, went on without a care while sending a wraith to check on the Einzbern Land.
Illyasviel von Einzbern gasped sharply as she writhed under her bed covers, the erotic sensations assaulting her again as a phantom cock thrusted into her core repeatedly while disembodied hands toyed with her body.
This phenomenon had happened for a bit over a month now, randomly afflicting an Einzbern homunculus into experiencing immense sexual pleasure out of nowhere.
Although it had happened once in reach of their creator Jubstacheit von Einzbern, after he scrapped the afflicted homunculus immediately, it seemed the culprit responsible had chosen to afflict homunculi whenever Acht was offline or a far distance.
Whether it was a subconscious act of camaraderie or a taboo desire to enjoy the human sensation which was normally denied to homunculi, Illya didn't know, but any homunculus who got hit with the 'Cataplectic Lust Syndrome' (the name being coined from one of Mama's manga, which she'd bought from Papa's homeland.) had been instantly hidden away to a place she could ride it out, ensuring that no one got scrapped again for a while.
As she was part homunculus of the same model, Illya had been exposed as well, having experienced it twice before tonight. However, it seemed tonight was special as it was no longer one homunculus afflicted tonight.
Just a few meters from Illya's bed, Sella was currently a moaning mess as Leysritt practically shoved her throat down her throat. Sella, who would normally be heavily against this, gave a weak protest before throwing her arms around Leysritt's waist, bringing their bodies closer.
Leysritt's hands snaked up Sella's stomach before using her superior strength to rip off her top, exposing her front to be fondled.
Sella moaned harder into the kiss as Leysritt roughly squeezed her breasts, raising her leg between Leysritt's thighs and inciting the other maid to start dry humping her.
Illya herself had already gone further, a strand of hair floated forward and transformed into a phallic shape by alchemic use.
Pushing her panties aside, she pressed the improvised dildo against the entrance of her pussy, sliding it in slowly. The thick rod slipped past her hymen, opening it and going deep into her pussy.
Illya gasped sharply at the feeling as it resonated far more deeply than the other times. Her pussy closed around the dildo, hugging it tightly. As her pleasure spiked, her control slipped a bit, causing Illya's construct to start vibrating as she overloaded it a little.
Illya moaned, her body sweating and her nipples hardening as she felt the dildo move inside her body. Her folds clamped tighter around the dildo, as it slowly and gently edged towards her cervix.
With her bed covers pushed aside and her legs spread aside, Illya raised her spare hand and pulled her nightdress up, playing with her small breasts and nipples afterwards.
She saw him in front of her, caressing her shoulders, then holding her hips so firmly. Suddenly he pushed her back against a tree in the snowy forest, before thrusting his lips towards her and engaging in a fierce liplock with his sister.
Illya's hand moved the dildo faster, sweat barely cooling her heated pale skin.
Illya could feel his massive cock pressing against her stomach even as she craned her head to further engage in their passionate make-out. Onii-chan felt so big, detaching from her mouth to go downwards, groping at her small breasts with his hands while he sucked at her neck. Soon she was moaning, quivering with pleasure at his ministrations-
Illya moaned without care, driving the dildo faster and harder into her cunt. Her juices flowed down her thighs, soaking the bed as Illya's brain gradually became lost in the haze of lust that was Illya's fantasies of having sex with her foster brother.
Everything was to her benefit as Onii-chan ate her out. Her hands rested on his head, fingers clutching his red hair to hold him in place. She moaned and her legs shook as she reached orgasm, gushing over his face as he lapped it up hungrily. Onii-chan stood up from his knees and pulled her from the tree before settling both hands onto her ass, firmly slapping one cheek to the response of a moan before lifting her. Just before penetrating her wet, hot cunt, Onii-chan leaned forward to his sister's ear and his hot breath dripped in want as he whispered. "Here it comes, Illya."
Illya's back arched off her bed as she neared her peak, her moans echoing through the soundproof room.
Onii-chan's thick cock pounded inside of her recklessly. Her legs were wrapped around his waist as he carried her as though she weighed nothing. Despite their snowy surroundings, the heat Onii-chan was giving off thoroughly warmed Illya and created a bubble which melted any snow that came too close. She could feel him reach her deepest parts, filling her completely. Sure enough, she crossed the edge, constricting around his cock as she came.
"ONII-CHAN!" With her legs shaking as she orgasmed and waves of pleasure rocking through her body, Illya heaved as she slumped into her bed. At the foot of her bed, Leysritt was now grinding her exposed cunt against Sella's, the usually stern maid being completely overpowered by the stronger one.
Leysritt had straddled one of Sella's legs, hoisting the other over her shoulder and bucking against her as Sella helplessly moaned and clutched the ground.
Illya simply watched as she basked in the afterglow, wondering if the real Shirou Emiya possessed similar skill to the one in her fantasies. Before the incidents, she had simply planned on torturing him before killing him but now... well, despite her hatred of the one who stole Papa from her, he was still the only male closest to her age that she knew.
She could still get some satisfaction off of him, through very different methods than originally planned.
Behind her, the unseen wraith with the appearance of Irisviel von Einzbern perfectly mirrored the dark smirk on Illya's visage.
[I'm just saying you could grope her. Just a little. She probably wouldn't resist much.]
"Don't talk about Sakura in that manner!"
[It's not just Sakura or Fuji-nee or even Bazett that I admire. My sexual preferences include ALL FEMALES. Gothic Lolitas, Lolis, Maids, Onee-sans, Twintail Girls, Short Bob Girls, Library Girls, Large Breasts, Small Breasts, Tsunderes, Yanderes, Danderes, Derederes, Kuuderes, Bakaderes, Himederes, Doroderes, Yottaderes, Goddesses, Fairies, Teachers, Kouhais, Senpais, Bunny Girls, Cat Girls, Dog Girls, Magical Girls, Mecha Girls, Ghost Girls, Nurses, Cat Girls, Swimsuits Girls, Childhood Friends, Spectacled Girls, Kneesocks, Secretaries!]
"What's with that extensive list!? Are you just naming every single fetish in existence?!" Shirou Emiya ranted but his Alter wasn't quite done yet.
[Tidy Girls, Naughty Girls, Sports Girls, Otaku Girls, Police Girls, Stewardesses, Bikinis, Music Girls, Military Girls, Models, Actresses, Succubi, Waitresses, Santa Girls, Elf Girls, Vampire Girls, Angel Girls! And so much more!]
"...ignoring the fact that some of those things you mentioned don't even exist even in the Moonlit World, are you really born from me?" Shirou asked. "I don't remember ever being this... perverted."
[Of course you don't. Considering your sheer obliviousness and the emotional stunting your trauma caused, all your puberty-born pervesion had to go somewhere. Thankfully, it seems that my awakening is slowly redistributing it back. Be warned that I might be cranking up your Charisma a bit to draw in more women to you. If you can use it properly at least!]
Shirou growled as he moved towards his garage. He couldn't believe the nerve of his Alter self. After a lot of questioning, he'd determined that Shirou Alter was a fusion of him and an actual Divine Spirit that had corrupted the city that fateful night. When he asked for the Spirit's origins, the surprisingly forthcoming Alter had clammed up, stating that he would have to give up his virginity before stating anymore on that subject.
Well, as long as he wasn't going to possess his body to assault more girls, Shirou didn't mind. Thankfully, for all his crass attitude, Shirou Alter was still more of Shirou than whoever had given him birth. He might have claimed that he was eliminating a future enemy and had done so through unbelievable methods but he'd still saved Bazett and killed off the Alter within her before trying to sate his desires. With her low resistance to the Divine Spirit's malice, it would have caused a lot of trouble for her later.
Although now, Shirou had to deal with the guy constantly rating Bazett, Taiga and Sakura in his perverted commentary. Did his supposedly suppressed perversion get amplified in him?
Shirou entered the garage, heading immediately for a shelf. Pushing it aside and opening the steel door behind it, he went down a lit platform which swiftly escalated downwards.
He soon reached the bottom, several meters below the earth. His location was a lit underground cave with overhead crystals serving as lighting. In it were various contraptions which Shirou had created or was in the process of doing so.
Having approached Shirou of his own accord the previous year, the Wizard Marshall had struck a deal with the aspiring hero, changing everything forever.
Whenever he did a job for Zelretch, Shirou always requested for materials to build himself gadgets like Iron Man and Batman had done.
His blades, combat suit and rocket boots were some of his many successes.
Naturally, he wasn't as rich and resourceful as the two iconic gadget heroes, but Zelretch never disappointed in that regard.
Shirou hummed as he noticed his latest in a long line of payment, a new set of appropriate materials for something he'd wanted ever since he watched Super Sentai.
[Why... why are you building a... giant Mecha?]
"In case I ever meet a guy who needs a giant Mecha to be beaten." Shirou smoothly replied to Shirou Alter's dry question, already grabbing one of the parts to add onto the partially constructed robot hanging from some large chains. He'd add just this part before waking Miyu for dinner.
[I already knew this but you're really not planning on acting magus-like at all, are you?]
"Unless it's necessary, no." Shirou cleaned his hands of oil, starting to head back up. "I'm going to be a hero after all."
Dinner was an awkward affair. Miyu Emiya kept looking between her older siblings as her brother kept glancing at her sister who did her best to avoid said glances, despite taking four whole servings.
She'd bid them goodnight, only to quietly sneak back as Shirou escorted Taiga Fujimura out and hearing their parting words.
"I've already accepted your apology, Shirou. You don't need to overdo it."
"I still consciously groped you, Fuji-nee." Miyu blushed and gasped softly at this, blushing madly. "I still need to atone."
"For the love of... Shirou, you see me as a woman, right?"
"Yes..."
"Then, it was bound to happen. You can't help it if a sexy Nee-san like me stays around you all the time. I was probably your first fetish. Wow, that's weird to realize."
"...Sorry. I had a dream involving you and I projected it on you. That's no good-"
Miyu's eyes widened as Taiga stepped close to pull Shirou's head into her bosom, a slight blush on her face.
"I-I-It's fine. I forgive you, okay?"
Miyu snuck back to her room, already having heard enough. Tomorrow at school, she would silently blame Suzuka for corrupting her like she'd done Mimi. Except while Mimi had been awoken to BL, it seemed that Miyu had just seen the (maybe) birth a(n) (false) incestuous relationship between her (biological) brother and (foster) sister.
"Oi, Emiya!" Shirou snapped out of his daydream thanks to Shinji Matou slapping his table. "Sakura came home earlier than usual yesterday and was all depressed about it! Did she do anything?"
"What? No. Something came up and I had a sudden visitor who Sakura felt uncomfortable around." Shirou responded, barely awake. After the hug from Fuji-nee, in which his Alter had strongly suggested hugging back and accidentally slipping his hands downwards, Shirou had spent most of the night awake as he'd kept dreaming raunchy images of the woman in increasingly lewd poses.
The last one which had been of her in a tiger print bikini, had been the final straw to start experimenting with the powers he'd gotten from EMIYA Alter in order to distract himself till daybreak almost arrived.
A sudden gasp got his attention, gazing at Gai Gotou's shocked expression as he watched something online with his phone.
"What's with you now, Gotou?" Shinji strode over to the usually boisterous guy. "Did your favorite anime character get killed or somethin-"
Shirou blinked as Shinji himself choked at what he saw, prompting him and several of their now curious classmates to approach themselves.
Shirou's jaw dropped as he watched the news of an ongoing robbery which had escalated into a gunfight between the robbers and the police, with an injured policewoman trapped away from her comrades.
The Survivor had seen enough.
Shirou moved sharply, gently but firmly pushing his classmates out of the way. At the classroom door, he almost collided with a sweaty Issei Ryuudou.
"Emiya-kun! It's-"
He started but was stopped as Shirou grabbed him back outside, running towards the Student Council Office.
"Emiya-kun, if you've seen the news, do you really think you should go?" Issei hurried along, his panic for his friend's safety taking priority rather than their blatant rule breaking as they ran down the halls. "It's a shootout! Do you really think you can handle something like that?!"
"Of course I do!" Shirou answered as they reached the door, locked it behind them and promptly transformed in a blaze of light, revealing the green and silver form of Argonaut to Issei. "I'll be back."
He promptly jumped out an open window, activating the Invisibility function of his suit to stealthily leave the school while Issei watched in worry, only turning around when some shrubbery at the school wall shook apart without a visible person.
"Unless you're bulletproof, I can't believe that easily...
Gunshots ran amuck at the chaotic scene as police officers and bank robbers warred against each other.
"Argh! I'm out!" One police officer yelled out as his gun clicked empty, hiding behind the temporary safety of his police cruiser.
"Get back, all of you!" Some officers shooed away some civilians and reporters who were straying too close to the warzone. "Do you idiots want to get shot for a story?!"
Inside the bank, numerous hostages huddled in terror as the bank robbers returned fire with much higher grade arms than the pistols the officers had. The robber boss stoically watched over everything, his hand primed on a wireless detonator connected to the bomb vests strapped on the hostages.
"Got perimeters set up on the North, East and South sides!" On the roof of a nearby public garage, Captain Aiho Yomikawa yelled to her subordinate over the gunfire as one of the cruisers exploded. "West side is-"
The busty officer was cut off as a now familiar booming jet-like whine resounded through the sky, drawing all eyes as Argonaut slammed down near Yomikawa with enough force to crack the tarmac.
"What?" Argonaut questioned to the nearby SWAT team, who were all staring at him with some jaws dropped, before turning to face a now relaxing Yomikawa who was relieved at his presence. "What's the situation? Details, please."
"Bank job. I got at least eight hostages, four robbers and an injured officer pinned down where we can't get to her. They've been spraying bullets at us all morning." Yomikawa said in a clipped but worried tone as she turned to face him as they got closer, very aware of the increasing stares aimed at the vigilante who usually never stayed long in public. "And they've got some heavy artillery. I think .50 caliber or bigger. I don't know if that... matters to you."
"Don't worry officer." Argonaut smirked as he made a show of tapping something on his wrist. "I'll be fine."
Looking over now, Yomikawa noticed Argonaut's attire changing from it usual green to black with golden accents. "You mean to say you're bulletproof now?"
"Yes."
With that, Argonaut vaulted off the building, landing on the road. He then proceeded to walk the rest of the way.
As chaos reigned with police officers shooting or retreating, Argonaut kept moving forward, hiding his awe behind a stoic expression as two bullets literally bounced off him without harm.
The robbers certainly noticed as well.
"It's Argonaut! I told you that fucker was real!" One of the robbers yelled to his accomplices as he prepped a grenade launcher. "And you guys called me crazy for bringing this!"
The grenade was shot towards the approaching vigilante immediately, causing Argonaut to swiftly smack it aside in a nonchalant manner into a conveniently empty car next to him, causing an immense explosion which engulfed him.
It was with great shock that onlookers watched Argonaut nonchalantly stroll out of the inferno without the tiniest burn on him or his attire.
"SHIIIT! I SHOULD'VE GONE FOR THE BAZOOKA AFTER ALL!" The robber cried as the robber next to him dropped his gun in shock at what he just saw.
"Focus everything on him!" The leader ordered as Argonaut reached the injured officer.
"Miss um," Argonaut looked at her name tag. "Tsuzuri Tessou! I'm here to carry you to safety, alright! Do I have your consent?"
At her frenzied nod with pained tears staining her glasses as she clutched her bleeding leg, Argonaut gently lifted Tessou one handedly, using the other hand to lift her car like a huge shield. Heroic Servant strength was amazing!
As the robbers focused all their fire on them, causing the car to slowly fall to pieces, Argonaut resolutely kept moving towards the ambulance where her colleagues were nervously waiting.
Finally, he reached them, handing over the trembling woman to one of the EMTs, only to face Yomikawa.
"Argonaut!" Yomikawa yelled out, getting his attention. "Go! End this now!"
Argonaut nodded and blasted up towards the bank roof.
The five robbers nervously stood about, with the one who used the grenade launcher keeping a frequent eye on the nearest exit, while slowly inching towards it.
It was at that moment that a nearby double door burst apart to reveal Argonaut.
The armed robbers reacted with great speed, almost able to aim their weapons at Argonaut. The problem was that Argonaut, with a Heroic Spirit's speed added to his own, was so much faster.
It literally happened in a blink from the perspective of everyone who wasn't Argonaut. One moment, four robbers were about to aim their guns at the hero. The next moment, they had all been blown away.
One impacted the wall next to the hostages. Another had been smashed into the ground hard enough to bounce up a bit. The last two were sent through the window where the police were waiting for them. All that was left was the leader.
"W-Wait!" Argonaut stopped stepping towards him as he raised the detonator. "You know what this is?"
Argonaut took a long look at the hostages' bomb vests. "Detonator, right?"
"There's eight pounds of C-4 strapped to every last one of them and this is a spring loaded Dead Man's Switch." The robber leader threatened, taking slow steps towards the vigilante. "My thumb comes off this? BOOM."
Argonaut cast a critical eye on the bomb vests again before gazing at the detonator.
"And now, since we've run into a change of plans with the police showing up and you taking down my associates-"
"You tried a rob a bank, you idiot." Argonaut rebuked, eyeing the robber on the ground who was coming to and swiftly stomping on his head to knock him out again. "Of course the police would show."
"-I want you to break into that vault." The robber leader continued, showing zero concern for his 'associate' as he pointed at the vault in question. "You'll find at least 80, 000, 000 Japanese Yen."
"Wow."
"And you're gonna carry it and me to safety or they're gonna be cleaning up these hostages with body bags and mops." The robber leader threatened. "I just saw you fly in out there and one-handedly carry a car so I know that it's really no problem for you-"
He didn't get further because Argonaut suddenly drew a white katana from nowhere and slashed forward, sending something that froze the robber leader's entire forearm.
The man screamed in shock and pain, staring down at the frozen detonator in his trapped arm.
Argonaut paid no attention to him, turning towards the nearest hostage. A little kid in glasses. "Hey there, kid."
"Hello, sir." The boy shyly replied, fiddling his glasses as Argonaut knelt down to address him while raising his voice to be heard by everyone.
"Everyone! Even though I've frozen the detonator, I still need to freeze your vests as well!" Argonaut yelled out, tapping his sword on the boy's vest and causing a wave of cold to emerge from it and flash freeze the vest instantly. "After I'm done with you, slowly head out to the bomb defusal squad waiting outside!"
"You..."
Argonaut turned in shock as he registered the robber leader pointing his machine gun at them, hysterical mania evident in his eyes and tone. "All of you should just eat lead!"
As the robber leader began to spray out bullets, Argonaut's perception slowed down as he reached in to draw out Avalon's defensive power...
And didn't feel much of it.
There wasn't much time left to analyze that anomaly, as his slowed perception noticed a bullet coming close to hit a hostage.
It was then that rather than Avalon or Shirou Alter, Heroic Spirit EMIYA Alter lent his aid.
"Trace on."
The hostages bore witness to another miracle. There was a flash of viridian lightning and azure flames as two gunblades manifested in each hand, one white with the other black. From there, he proceeded to block every shot bullet in an instant.
The robber leader's onslaught stopped in pain as one of the deflected bullets hit him in his leg, forcing him down onto his knees.
In an instant, Argonaut was on him, slamming a boot into his midsection and pinning him to the ground.
As Argonaut raised {Kanshou} and stomped down on the frozen arm, he turned slightly to address the boy still staring at him. "Look away, kid."
The boy's guardian barely managed to block his son's eyes and ears before Argonaut brought down his weapon swiftly.
Yomikawa sighed in relief as several of the hostages came out, all of them accounted for as they were herded away by the bomb defusal squad.
Argonaut himself came for her, handing over what looked like a severed forearm thickly encased in ice while ignoring the camera flashes and whispers aimed at him.
"This arm is still holding a Dead Man's Switch to their bombs." Argonaut explained while pointing at the hostages. "I froze it along with their vests since the wires weren't built to handle extreme cold. I still suggest keeping this frozen until the vests are off though."
"Understood." Yomikawa barked out some orders, sending a platoon of men to arrest the robbers inside. Argonaut however stared at his hand in discomfort, remembering the near despondent feel of Avalon.
He shook his head and gathered his wits, realizing that his current location wasn't one for the issue. To the wild cheers of the bystanders, he suddenly blasted off into the sky, leaving a trail of superheated air in his wake.
As he disappeared into the clouds, a single silver haired Sister watched in silence before disappearing into the crowd.
"That was awesome!"
Rin Tohsaka barely blinked at Kaede Makidera's loud proclamation as she, like every member of Class 2-A, was riveted by Argonaut's presence in the News.
"Kane-chan, do you think Argonaut's cool as well?" Yukika Saegusa asked the grey-haired spectacled girl next to her as the two ignored their friend's cheering.
"He resolved a hostage situation without a single loss of life, Yukika." Kane Himuro surmised while adjusting her glasses. "Whether he's a cyborg like Kaede claims or he's an ordinary human with access to extraordinary technology, he's still doing a commendable job."
"A cyborg?!" Ayako Mitsuzuri laughed down at Kaede when the latter fell off her chair in surprise. "Did you see any robot limbs of glowing eyes on him?"
"We clearly saw him lift a car!" Kaede got up to Ayako's face. "One-handedly!"
"N-Now you guys calm down." Nanami Moriyama pleaded nervously as she stepped between the two. "Tohsaka-san, please help me here."
Rin ignored her, keeping her focus on Ayako's phone screen. 'A showboating Magus? No, too little dramatics in public. Also, he never glanced at the cameras for a single pose. An actual cyborg like Makidera claimed? No. Even though Ayako explained it to me, I can't see any Magus even trying that with any Golem types that I know of. Maybe a familiar, but something like that would be too obvious...'
Rin groaned as she rubbed her forehead. She wondered if the damn priest had better luck deciphering this problem.
Kirei Kotomine absentmindedly sipped his tea while he and Gilgamesh watched the News. "What is your opinion of this one, Gilgamesh?"
"He amuses me." Gilgamesh said, his light tone betrayed by the sharp, almost hungry gaze he gave Argonaut. "Even in this spoiled World, I am pleased to realize that I can still be entertained by it's residents. First you, Kirei. Then, Waver Velvet. And now, this Argonaut."
The Golden King stretched out his hand towards the T.V., envisioning the vigilante in his grasp. "In the new World that will brought about in the next Holy Grail War, it is imperative he survives as well- Ah."
Kirei blinked as Gilgamesh's scarlet eyes glowed a bit before he started chuckling. "Interesting! Just as I thought that Argonaut had little experience with the evils of Humanity, it seems that he will soon be headed for a cesspool of pleasures and immorality!"
Kirei just blinked as Gilgamesh's clairvoyance randomly activated, asking in curiosity. "Do you have a grudge against him, to wish something like that?"
"Not in the slightest." Gilgamesh chuckled. "Although, I won't deny that what will soon befall that port city will boring."
"Really? For something 'not boring' to inflict that city, I'm almost tempted to go on a visit." Kirei smirked softly. "But what if his will gets broken there?"
Gilgamesh turned to face Kirei. Even though he had his face away from the sun, his slit crimson eyes still glowed with inhumane light in the shadow.
"Then that simply means that he isn't good enough."
Shirou sighed in frustration for three reasons as he walked Miyu home.
Reason #01: The strange feeling that was occurring with Avalon. Not even Shirou Alter had an idea about it's problems due to it being even older than his Divine Spirit half.
Reason #02: Taiga and Issei's fretting and scolding when they had seen him deflecting bullets with his skin. Taiga in particular had actually arm choked him while Issei read him the Riot Act.
"Um, Onii-chan?" Miyu whispered, glancing behind her. Behind them was a silver-haired nun who had been following them.
Shirou softly growled as Reason #03 made another horrible attempt on hiding when he himself glanced at her. 'If she's a kidnapper, she at least gets points for choosing the least suspicious disguise in public. A nun would never get suspected of anything.'
"Miyu, take this money and go buy some fresh beef." Shirou uttered as he gave the money and stayed behind. "I'll deal with this."
Miyu stared a bit before continuing, leaving Shirou to deal with it. Moving at a swift pace, he caught the nun by surprise, pulling her into an empty alleyway.
He didn't get far before a red shroud wrapped around his arm, forcing a paralytic effect onto him.
The girl herself didn't blink as Shirou's hand still grabbed her neck in the nick of time. "Well done. As expected of the one called Argonaut."
"What does a horrible stalker like you want with me?" Shirou growled as his muscles refused to obey him. The shroud seemed to be conceptual in nature, rendering his physical strength and magecraft meaningless.
"My name is Caren Hortensia, Emiya-san." The nun spoke in Italian accented Japanese. "I'm in requirement of your... skills."
Sakura Matou blinked in surprise as she and Miyu greeted Shirou and a nun of all people at the door.
"Sakura, please set a plate for one more." Shirou instructed as he and Caren took off their shoes.
"Good evening." Caren curtsied in greeting as the two stared blankly at her.
"Another one?" Sakura faintly whispered as her beloved Senpai brought another pretty foreigner chick. It hadn't even been a day!
"Good evening, miss Stalker Nun." Miyu spoke those sharp words without losing the tiniest bit of politeness. "If you were going to tail us, do it right."
"Miyu!" Shirou rebuked while Caren simply smiled.
"Your sister seems likeable." Caren stated as Shirou led her to their Dining table. After sharing dinner (Taiga hadn't come today... which was probably for the best.), Caren dove straight into the heart of the matter. "I need you to help me rescue a person. Naturally, I will reward you for all your services."
Silence reigned in the Dining room. Miyu had gone to her room while Sakura had headed home. Weirdly, she'd been insistent on Shirou not getting too close to Caren, whatever that meant. Naturally, Shirou Alter took it as a challenge.
Shirou blinked her bluntness. "Three questions. Who am I rescuing? Why are you coming to me of all people instead of a fellow Church member? And where are they being held?"
"Her name is Laeticia. She is a friend of mine who was kidnapped some days ago. The kidnapper wishes to deliver her for something... vile." Caren's darkened tone left no doubt on what 'vile' implied for a kidnapped young woman. "The reason I'm asking for you is that she simply isn't a valuable Church member to be considered a Target of Rescue. Unlike a magus like you or an exorcist like me, Laeticia is a simple civilian who I happen to be friends with."
Caren breathed slowly before speaking her next words. "I'm willing to convert and pay roughly 200, 000 Japanese Yen with half upfront... and even offer up my body as well."
Shirou stared blankly before suddenly blitzing to her front. Caren was too slow to reach for her shroud as Shirou successfully subdued her, his larger size weighing her down.
Caren's breath hitched as her Masochistic Spiritualist Constitution acted up as her breasts rubbed up against his broad chest.
Blades teased against her skin, their sharp edges ever ready to pierce through and skewer her through. Beyond it were Fire and Darkness, demonic in nature and barely held back by the Swords.
"Is this Laeticia worth it?" Shirou interrogated as he held down both of Caren's arms, ignoring how his bulge rubbed against her crotch. 'Damn you, future me! You put those thoughts of sexy nuns in my head!'
"Yes." Caren replied resolutely, wrapping her legs around Shirou's waist and drawing him close. "She's my only friend, so no matter what, I will use everything possible to save her."
Shirou's golden brown eyes stared down into Caren's yellow ones, before he got off her. "I will help you save Laeticia, without you giving yourself or any money."
Caren slowly got off, secretly pleased that her gambit had worked. One one hand, it seemed that Argonaut, no Shirou Emiya, was really as honorable as he portrayed himself. On the other hand, the sudden action had left her a bit aroused, with his sincere attitude sparking up her sadism.
"Thank you." Caren demurely replied, forcing down her arousal for another time. There'd be plenty of opportunities later after all. "I'm surprised but rather glad that a magus like you exists."
"I prefer the term 'Magecrafter' but whatever suits you, I guess." Shirou replied as he pulled her up and started to escort her outside. "So, where is your friend being held?"
"A city in Thailand." Caren replied, already buying flight tickets online for the soonest plane available.
"Do you know of the city called Roanapur?"
Merlin hummed in his tower, idly flicking away any pink petal that landed in his long silver hair as they floated around him.
The World of Avalon was as serene as usual, especially as he was trying out this new fad that Humanity had created.
"Inner peace... Inner peace." Merlin hummed and meditated, floating off the top of his tower. A random petal chose that moment to fly past his nose. "Itchy nose..."
Merlin breathed in deeply, unfortunately sucking in the petal down his throat.
As Merlin choked it out, a small giggling could be heard from the surroundings as the very World was amused at the sight.
"Finally." Merlin got his breathing under control and started all over again. "Inner peace..."
A bolt of black and blue prana surged forth out of nowhere, aiming for Merlin.
"Now what?" Merlin casually deflected the attack, opening his eyes to look at his opponent. Morgan le Fay breathed heavily as she beheld the utter pain in her ass who had imprisoned her. Her crown and veil had gone missing, exposing her angered visage which resembled Artoria's so well.
Naturally, Merlin was amused and nostalgic at the sight.
Morgan le Fay was a lovely woman with a full endowed figure and long pale blonde hair. She was a walking personification of the recent term 'MILF'. "Merlin..."
"Our battle ended 1, 467 years ago!" Merlin called out to her.
"Well, now I am here for a rematch." Morgan growled as she prepared another ball of blackened prana.
"Took you long enough!" Merlin taunted, inciting Morgan to fly at him in a rage. As a random gigantic rock floated in front of her, Morgan swiftly cut it apart and slammed into Merlin's former position with enough force to shake his indestructible tower.
Merlin flew upwards, easily dodging the attack to point his staff at Morgan. But before he could do anything...
The ground erupted as a Beast tore through it, smacking Merlin away till he slammed into a hill, leaving him stuck in a large sideways crater.
"DIE, MERLIN!" The Beast roared as Morgan landed on its head, a victorious smirk on her face.
"I was surprised to see a Beast of Calamity here in Avalon." Morgan crowed as her prana spread all over Cath Palug's gigantic form, rendering him into a darker, more bestial form. "But then it occurred to me how it would be so much better to kill you with your own familiar, Merlin!"
Merlin didn't say anything. He just jumped down the ground, wiped his lips and smirked back. With a tap of his staff, a gigantic serpent composed of wood erupted from the ground, quickly wrapping around Cath Palug's immense form.
Cath Palug opened his maw wide, creating a dense ball of explosive prana and shooting it at the Wood Serpent. While the Wood Serpent was destroyed, Merlin swiftly created a Wood Giant which caught the prana bomb and smashed it back.
A shield of blackened prana blocked it, the impact and subsequent explosion blasting everything around them away with it's shockwave.
'He survived that?' Morgan observed the wooden dome that had survived the blast. 'As expected of the Magus of Flowers!'
'She's clad Cath Palug and herself in a prana-like armor with her blackened prana!' Merlin observed as smoke from the explosion cleared away. 'Morgan, you crafty vixen!'
Merlin slammed his staff into the ground, creating another Wood Giant which actually matched Cath Palug in size! "Here I come, Morgan!"
"Bring it, Merlin!" Morgan yelled back as the duo began to charge at each other!
In a spectral void, the bits of Avalon which were cyan and black instead of gold and blue grew a bit larger...
Let's Go Ahead!

Personal Skills
Second Magic - Operation of Parallel Words (Rank EX): This is a True Magic which affects one of the Six Aspects of Existence, {Space}. It allows Zelretch to create, shape, move, control, interact and manipulate {Space}, the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction, within an area of one's choosing, including an area and whatever is inside of that area. He can also trap subjects or objects in space and push that space, throwing subject and object away from them or to create wormholes, paradoxes, and other strange events by warping spatial areas and twisting them around. He is also able to shift himself or his reality into another reality or plane of existence and/or pulling existences from other planes into his residual reality. Finally, he can can alter time-windows to travel through alternative and parallel universes via dimensional rifts. As you see, it's fucking BROKEN.
Mystic Codes & Noble Phantasms
Zelretch - Jeweled Sword Zelretch (Rank EX: Pro-Unit): It is a ritual dagger with a jeweled blade, an alien technology embodying general knowledge from a far future, beyond the reach of modern man. The sword is capable of the Multi-Dimensional Refraction Phenomenon, allowing the user to draw in potentially infinite magical energy. The kaleidoscope-like jewel blade creates a small opening to the same area in another parallel world, though any further interference is impossible, and it draws in all of the magical energy from that space. Magical energy channeled into the blade can be fired off in a blinding stream of light. Also, as a jewel, the sword can also be detonated as a one-shot explosive.
Ruby - Kaleidostick Magical Ruby (Rank A: Pro-Unit): This is a Kaleidostick-type Mystic Code created by Zelretch that enables her user to become a magical girl and access the Mana Plane and provide her user/master unlimited magical energy. As Ruby is a sentient, cheerful, mischievous and sadistic entity, Zelretch gives her out to similarly dominant girls to tease them to her satisfaction. All for both of their amusement.
Sapphire - Kaleidoscope Magical Sapphire (Rank A: Pro-Unit): This is a second Kaleidostick-type Mystic Code created by Zelretch that enables her user to become a magical girl and access the Mana Plane and provide her user/master unlimited magical energy. Although she is younger sister of Ruby, Sapphire is slightly more mature and formal and takes her responsibility as a Kaleidostick very seriously and always follows orders. Naturally, she is still a creation of Zelretch, being capable of being rude without losing her formality and expresses her inherited mischief in dressing her female hosts in lewd clothes, compared to Ruby's preference of cuteness.
KingVessel: Done. Please review.
Zelretch: Oh. Is this going be an original arc or a cross-over with an already existing one?
KingVessel: Yup. The intertwining between a World of Magecraft and a World of... how the hell do I describe those guys in a single word?
