Chaldea Reacts: Side Stories.1
-Somewhere…-
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
The sounds of footsteps could be heard echoing ever moment from a woman. Pacing back and forth, seeming a bit fidgety. Anxious more to be honest. But she kept on walking back and forth, like she was waiting for news.
With her was a man, who was in fact her husband of a good eighteen years now. Tall, muscular, with peach skin, golden eyes and short spiky orange hair. He wore a simple black T-shirt and a pair of jeans and sneakers today. He also sported on his ring finger a lovely gold ring with a ruby in it. He was sitting in a chair inside what was their home, keeping an eye on his anxious wife.
His wife herself was shorter then him, pale skinned with lovely blue eyes and long black hair. She wore a red collared shirt, a long black skirt, slip on shoes and wore herself a gold ring with a sapphire on it upon her own ring finger. Not noticing her husband watching her constant pacing.
"Rin. You know pacing isn't going to make it come faster?" The husband said to his wife Rin, who stopped staring at him as he flinched a bit
"I know that Shirou. I just….ugh. I just can't wait any longer." Rin replied to her husband Shirou, who got up from his chair and moved her into the other one at the dinner table they had. Rin sighing as she rested her chin against her hands "Why…why did our babies run away. Was it something I did or was I too stern or maybe-"
"Rin." Shirou quickly interjected, loud and stern as he grabbed his wife's hands with his own causing Rin to stop her own panic from rising as she saw her husband stare straight into her eyes "It wasn't you or me. The kids did this for a reason, but that's why we're doing this. To get answers soon."
"I…I know…" Rin stated, as she sighed once more knowing that Shirou was speaking the truth "It's just. I worry for them, I know we taught them well enough. But… they're our babies. I can't help but worry."
"And that's one of the many reasons I love you." Shirou remarked, giving Rin a quick kiss on the forehead as Rin blushed some
'S-Shut up dummy. You're playing dirty now. You know that…" Rin grumbled in a flustered mess as even after eighteen years of marriage Shirou still made her heart race like when they first started to become closer to one another. Though her husband's slight amusement out of this only added more to her embarrassment
"I know. I know." Shirou simply quipped, as he found his wife just as wonderful as the day they first actually became closer as friends back then. But just then a tap could be heard, looking to the window a foot ahead of them they saw a sparrow on a branch with a piece of paper tied to its back while tapping on the window once more
Rin got up now, walked over and opened the window as the sparrow landed on a finger she offered of it. Taking a moment to use her other hand, Rin got the paper off. Then just like that the sparrow flew back outside, Rin closing the windows a moment after.
"You know I have to send a complaint about using a bird still to do this sort of stuff." Rin muttered as she opened the letter and began reading it quickly. Though moments later she flinched a bit and donned a very angered look that her husband took quick notice of
"Rin, what does it-" Shirou asked, as Rin just held the paper out to him. Shirou reading it and quickly realizing why his wife was… well acting like she was "Oh."
"Oh indeed. Almost a whole year, a WHOLE year of us worrying; of me almost going crazy looking for them and where do they go. The ONE place I said not too!" Rin screamed as she threw the note down and growled a bit "To that stupid Chaldea place. It's a pipe dream is what is it and now I hear that my babies were last seen almost were last seen in some large automobile. Heading staring towards the direction of that place. Oh… oh this is going to be fixed very soon!"
"Um Rin how?" Shirou asked, but immediately knew he was not going to like the answer. The rather go-ready smile his wife donned on moments later didn't help either with that assumption
"Simple dear." Rin sweetly, a little to sweetly said smiling also very sweetly "We are going to ANARTICA AND YOU'RE COMING ALONG HUBBY!"
.

Shirou's response was, the rather obvious if not mentally correct one when faced with his wife's declaration just then. Her rather bold and honest statement to be more correct.
"Wait…." Shirou muttered, taking a moment to register the words his wife had just declared as a command that he knew he could NOT say no to even if he wanted to "WHAT?!"
-In Chaldea, the Masters room four minutes earlier-
"Ah such a nice day so far." Locasta happily mused as she laid on her bed, enjoying the comfy feeling of it "So very nice."
"Yeah. No worries lately too. No singularities aside from the freak village one below. But that one's nice." Eliphas replied to his sister, as he sat on his chair just enjoying this moment of peace and quiet. Oh these peace times he could get used to, but he also decided to get some pay back from his sis for her little stunt with almost telling Mash about his liking for her "BUT, I'm sure more happy because you get to spend time with Atalanta now. Hm?"
"W-What do you mean?" Locasta suddenly yelled, bolting up blushing from the accusation her brother was making. His smirk didn't help in that matter to, as Locasta could tell he'd figured it out pretty early "How long…"
"After a few weeks of us getting to know Atalanta. You literally were and still are like a love sick puppy. Always trying to find an excuse for helping her out. I can't tell if she's just not that inept in romance or she's flirting back in her own… odd way." Eliphas quipped, before smirking a little wider "Must want to make kitty purr some don't ya sis?"
"Gah, that was a terrible sex pun. Never say that in my presence again." Locasta stated, like she was offended by the corniness of the pun itself and not the accusations anymore
"Oh whatever you say O master of sex puns." Eliphas mused playing along a bit, before he and his sister just laughed a bit at the sudden oddness
But this moment of sibling bonding was crushed just like that. When an intense cold chill down crept their backs. So cold it stung a bit, one that the two knew all too well… all to very well.
"Brother…." Locasta said, as she was wide eyed with a horror stricken face
"I know. I felt it. God, Buddha, any other gods that could be listening. Have mercy upon us." Eliphas prayed to whatever would listen as he and sister knew exactly what was going to happen soon… so most likely VERY soon. Eliphas getting up from his seat as he ran to the door that opened for him on command "I HAVE TO WARN EVERYONE!"
"RUN, RUN AND TELL THEM ALL!" Locasta screamed as her brother ran out faster than ever before. Locasta laying back on her bed in a fetal position as she held her pillow like a teddy bear for comfort "M-Mom's coming…."
-Meanwhile with a certain red themed saber….-
"Day two of investigation… nothing yet. BUT I will find something!" Nero stated as she was walking around the mostly empty halls of Chaldea, in her usual clothing of red and white cloth with golden armor on her
Currently she was looking around to see if she could find any oddities around the hallways. Not that it was easy since by this point even if all the servants were used to the various uniform white hallways that interchanged with one another. With the occasional windows showing the outside of the base which indicated they made it to one of the corners of the base itself. Still even so, the servants all knew they'd only explored barley the whole base as most of the more important parts of the operations were located in their current area of the base itself. Which again was why Nero was trying to see if anything was wrong in this more familiar part of the base first, before exploring the more unknown regions of the base itself.
But as she walked and walked, looking around she bumped into someone. Both she and the person she bumped into falling to the ground on their backsides seconds later.
"Ow… watch where you're going will you?" The other female asked, a bit irritably as she sounded familiar to Nero
"Sorry. I wasn't looking and let me help you up." Nero replied as she stood up giving her hand out as the other servant took it. Then she looked seeing, it was a woman or young lady she knew quiet well by this point "Oh Miss Helena!"
Yes her friend her was one Helena Blavatsky. The old woman who was forever youthful, which had brought confusing feelings to many of the Chaldea Staff that had become attracted to the woman who looked like she could land you a few years in jail. From her soft peach skin, ear length purple hair and violet eyes, Her attire being a pair of dark stockings, black boots, white separate arm sleeves and rather ahem.. form fitting black dress with a gold insignia on her more small chested body. That and the cap she wore currently minuet currently the jacket she wore at times. All together made a kind of adorable military appearance. Again Helena was a confusing mix of emotions for those who had gotten to know the woman… child… woman/child. YOU GET WHAT I MEAN!
"Hm, oh Nero how are you. I haven't seen anyone in a while since well hehe. You know trying to get use to the whole internet and TV thing. I've found a lot of cool sites so far. Along with a few funny TV shows too, even if they're aren't that many channels." Helena exclaimed, happy as can be as she was one of the servants who'd had a much more easier time with their new little toys "Anyways, I just came out to get some fresh air and stretch my legs. What about you Nero?"
"Same here Helena!" Nero happily answered, half and half on telling Helena on what she was doing. Then a sudden guilt of thinking of not telling her arose, Helena had been a pretty good friend this near full year and with that Nero knew she couldn't keep I a secret "Hngg… actually I'm investigating something!"
"Investigating, what are you investigating. Oh can I join, aside from my laptop and TV. There hasn't been much going on, not that it's bad. But a little change here and there." Helena quipped, with a hopeful smile as Nero already knew her answer from the look alone
"Of course. You and I shall be the detective duo. UMU!" Nero happily exclaimed, with a wide smile of pride as Helena just smiled at her friends mannerisms. That and she was just glad to have something else going on, even for a bit
Thankfully it's not like anything else could start up, because of these series of events that will eventually and most likely collide into a spiral of possible chaos depending on future factors. NOPE….
.
.
.
Not at all….
And there you go, a viewing of how Mama Rin and Papa Shirou have been dealing with this situation with their kids. As you can tell Rin is… well Rin with a fierce motherly protective mindset these days. That's a pretty scary combination if you ask me. But yeah, that will be fun when not IF, but when that comes around fully.
Then comes Nero, oh dear Nero. How diligent you are in this investigating now and to bring Helena into it will only add to what chaos I will neither admit or deny will or will not come up…sooner or later. Again maybe, maybe not who knows?
Also as you can tell, I gave Locasta a romantic interest too. With dearly adorable Atalanta who also happens to be my favorite if I haven't said it before and one of my first servants to bat. God I love her!
Ahem, but yeah I just wanted to give Atalanta some love. Like come just give the girl some love, she needs it!
But my fan mini- kind of rant over with. I hope you enjoyed this small little snippet of backstory I kind of made in my head when playing through the campaign of this game, both the OG campaign and well like I said before everything story wise up until current times. Thank the lord for YouTube on that one.
So until the next chapter, I wish you all the most amazing safe and healthy day's ahead! : )
