I am back, now with the exam finish, i can now continue to write this fic *Hand claping noise*
Food District
"There you are." Shiki ask after locating Shirou and land right next to him with Iori follow behind, "Huh? Theres that many people in the West?" Iori ask when he spotted the line of unconscious people beside Shirou, to which the hero of justice just shook his head.
"Not exactly, the people here just return from their crystal form, apparently when the purple crystal touched you, your mana will get drained and then when you are out of mana..." And Shiki finish, "You got turn into the crystal, correct?" Shirou nodded
"Oh almost forget to ask, did you face something that could potentially be the causes of the crystal dome?" Shiki ask making Shirou pause for a second to think, "I don't know, maybe..." She sigh, although she don't blame his ignorance, she still hope that he know something at least.
Then the sound of metal footsteps caught their ear, as the three servant have their guard up, ready for another fight, "Halt, are you the causes of this attack?" Turn out it was a group of knight come here to search for cilvilians, "No, rather they do the opposite of that." A voice answer in the three servant behalf.
It was Arthur follow by Fujino and Kitsuki with the last one look very relieve and happy upon seeing Shirou, "Caster-san! Are you ok?" She ask while checking him. "I am fine Ginhime-san, i see that you have a good nap." He answer with a smile.
"Hum... Then I will need you six to follow me, since you guys are the only one conscious here, i will have to bring you guys for investigation, please understand." One of the guard order to which Arthur nod.
As they follow the guard, Shirou glance back to see the rest of them are bringing the unconscious cilvilians to the same direction as they go.
After a while of walking, they arrive at a white tent with two guard outside. The one leading them come to the two guard to report the situation before a voice call out, "What are you doing outside the area?" looking at the source of the voice, Shirou saw a blue hair man with a knight armor and a bat shape medal in his left chest, "Captain! I have bought three conscious person here to meet you."
The captain eyes them before dismissing the knight, "Great job, you can go now, i will take care from here." With a nod the knight that escort them here had gone to the damaged Food District, "I know what all of you are, no need to keep secret from me, four servant and one ancient vampire, am I correct?" He guessed and completely correct.
"Save your word for later, i assume you guys are familiar with the Chaldean?" He guess, this time incorrect, "Chaldean?" Shirou and Kitsuki said shocking the blue hair man.
"You guys arent familiar? Well no matter, you will meet them right away." He said before revealing the inside of the tent in front of them.
Inside the tent are a large rug with four person sitting on it, one red hair with a white uniform, a pink hair girl with a black armor, a blond hair girl with a white dress and finally another blond hair girl, this time wearing a blue knight armor.
"Well servant should meet servant right? So get familiar with each other first." The captain said but Shirou wasn't paying any attention at all, instead his eyes got fixed on the blond knight, 'No...'
"I will go first! My name is Arcueid, Arcueid Brunestud. The moon princess, nice to meet you all!" She said while holding her hand up, creating a V sign.
"My name is Mash Kyrielight, i am a Demi-Servant. My Master is Fujimaru Ritsuka who is sitting over there." She introduce herself while pointing at the red hair Master.
"And i am Artoria Pendragon, The King of Knight, it is a pleasure to meet all of you." She said making Arthur freeze at her speech, 'Pendragon?'
Why, why is fate so cruel to him, to make him meet his first love, the first person he had fail to save, 'Saber...' She is still just as beautiful as the day he meet her, the memory of that days still in his mind, replay again and again more than a million time in a matter of second.
"... Ryougi Shiki, nice to meet you lot." By the time he realise it, Shiki and Fujino had finally done with introducing themselt and are currently waiting for Shirou to do it, "Wait, Shiki, why are you a female! Wait don't tell me... The counterforce summon you as a female?!" Arcueid yell out, shocking the black hair servant.
"What? I have always been a female... Well, not all the time but still." Shiki said while looking at the Blondie eyes, "Ugh... Introduce yourself already black hair." Shiki said, changing the topic.
"Servant Miyamoto Iori, saber class, nice to meet you." Iori said making Mash and Ritsuka shock, "Iori, are you Musashi son?" The red hair girl ask.
"Yes, have you meet my sensei?" Gudako nod excitedly, "Yeah, she has been a great help to us." Hearing his mentor already meet Chaldea before bring him a excitement feeling, 'If teacher had met them before, it meant that...'
"Its your turn white hair servant." The prince said somehow annoyed Kitsuki, "Hey! Don't be so rude to him!" She said gaining the commander glance, 'Thats weird, I thought I heard someone here.'
Shirou after a moment of hesitation, finally said "I am Caster, i am here because of an unknown method, my true name is..." He hesitate again, should he tell his real name to her? Would she remember him? No, servant can't retain any memory from their previous summon so it will make sense that she don't regconize him, "... Emiya, Emiya Shirou, nice to meet you." He said after a moment of silent, 'Thats to be expected, nobody should regconize me after all.'
But to his surprise and horror, not only do the Chaldean regconize him, Artoria specifically send him a nostalgic look, like a old friend reuniting again, "Emiya? Whoa, its been a long time since i last saw you Emiya!" The red hair master said while Mash too, also remember about the food he once made for them.
"Emiya huh? Seem like we have two useful servant at our disposal already Master-san!" Arcueid said with full confident, "You know him Arcueid-san?" Mash ask out of curiousity.
"No, not exactly, it just that whenever a disasters about to wipe out humanity, he is always the first Counter Guardian to be summon, hell, prioritize to summon even!" Arcueid said with a cheerful voice, "And you know what's crazier? That man right there is the only Counter Guardian that Alya give a nickname to, multiple one, my personal favorite are 'Sir Lance-a-lot-of Girls'!"
Mash suddenly turn into a tomato after hearing Arcueid comment about Shirou, "Shirou... No, it can't be, it must be him." Artoria whisper to herself, "Nice to meet you, or should I say, long time no see, Shirou." She said, surprise the Caster servant.
"... You remember?" He ask shakingly, "Of course i remember, the conclusion of that event always stuck in my mind after all." She said making the hero of justice face turn dark.
"... I am sorry for forcing you to do that." He apologize, yet Artoria just shook her head in respond, "Its no matter. Its my fault too for staying selfish until the end and not regconizing the flaws sooner." She said while holding her hand out.
"But all of that was in the past, now i have been summon here to protect the human order, i assume we are summon for the same purposes?" She ask while showing him a kind smile, "... Sorry Saber. I still don't know the reason why I have been summon here, but if possible, i would like to fight by your side again, Saber." He said accepting Artoria handshake.
"You guys knew each other?" Ritsuka ask with both Artoria and Shirou nod, "Yes Master, we used to fight in the Holy Grail War together as a Master and Servant duo so to us this is like a reunion between old friend." She said making Kitsuki feel uncomfortable for some reason.
"With all the servant now know each other, its only fair for us human to introduce ourself." The commander said gaining everyone attention, "My name is Takeo, Takeo Mikoto, i am the son of Tenzo Mikoto and the future king of the Hajigami kingdom." He introduce himself.
"I am also previously know as the Spider-Slaying bat, The champion of Ka-an and the Beast of Oblivion, Camazotz." He said, shocking the Chaldean Master and the Demi Servant, "Camazotz? The Mayan bat god Camazotz?" Shirou ask to which Takeo nod in agreement.
"If thats how the Pan Human History know me then call me it." He said while glancing at Arthur who is staring at Artoria the entire time, "I believe you have something to say too, right Hero?"
"... My name is Arthur, Arthur Pendragon, I... Am the last of the Pendragon family." He said making the Chaldea Demi-Servant and Master duo along with Artoria widen their eyes in surprise before calming themself down. "I believe its time." A voice suddenly call out from Ritsuka pocket.
Hearing the voice, she took out a yellow crystal in her pocket and click on it, the yellow crystal instantly project a image of a old man, "Sorry to interfere with your conversation but seeing that all of you had finish introducing yourself, i see the need to introduce myself too." He said gaining Arthur's Group curiousity.
"My name is Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, the Second True Magic user, I am the one responsible for Chaldea arrival here at your lands." He said making Shirou had a sudden flashback, "I see that you are still doing well, Shirou Emiya-kun." He greeted him to which the latter just gain chill from that.
"I know what you are thinking Gudako, i don't personally knew him, he is just one of my many 'Test (Read: Entertainment) Subject' back in the day." He end with a chuckle and Shirou just scowl, "Anyway moving on from the past, i believe I can provide you with the reason why Chaldea arrive here and what is your purposes here."
"First off, the reason why Chaldea come to here was because of my request, the world you are currently standing are at the risk of becoming a catalyst to a great disaster threatening the existence of the entire multiverse as a whole." He explain, putting the tent in tense mood.
"... And what exactly is that threat?" Shiki ask, "You must know about the existence of the Demon Lord by now right?" He said making the Chaldea group confuse at the information.
"Demon Lord?" Mash ask a question Ritsuka was about to say, "You guys don't know? The Demon Lord are the ruler of the Demon Realm exist below the Earth." Arthur explain making the Chaldean even more confuse.
"I will explain that to them." Zelretch said, "You see, the world you are standing in not only are they stuck in the medival era, but they also exist three realm, the Human Realm being the middle ground with the perfect condition for life to exist, below them are the Demon Realm exist without days or night, no sun nor moon and forever exist with a sunless esclipe. And above the Human Realm are the Heaven Realm, a place where the sun never die and the moon never live." He explain.
"I see." Was all Ritsuka said, "With the explanation out of the way, i believe its time to introduce your main enemy here. The enemy you will face is the most dangerous enemy of all time, the 'reincarnation' of the Unlimited One, the one who will one day awake, O.R.T." Hearing its name the Chaldean along with Shirou silver in fear while Takeo wear a angry expression mix with anxiety.
"And so its also the reason why you all have been summon here, to stop its ever growing power or at least, keep it at this world so it couldn't spread to the other universe." He said giving Arthur a flashback about his previous experience with that thing.
"Is that O.R.T thing perhaps is a silver hair female using a magic similar to Crystal magic?" Arthur guess and receive a nod from Zelretch, "Umm, Arthur-san?" Ritsuka call out for Arthur.
"Yes Mistress?","Yes Master?" Both Arthur and Artoria answer at the same time, "Umm, i meant male Arthur." She confirm.
"Did you encounter O.R.T Arthur-san?" She ask and receive Arthur nod as answer.
"Sir Takeo, there is someone wish to meet you." A guard enter the tent to report, "Who it is?"
"Its-" Before the guard could answer. Another person come in, this person is a female with a green hair and a Blue'ish eyes with a fancy White dress, "There you are Prince Takeo! I have been looking everywhere for you." The person said.
"Who are you and what business do you want with me." He said with a demanding voice, "Please calm down Prince Takeo, i am the princess of the Entrorio kingdom, the lost sister of the hero Rostin, Annette, Annette Heros." The person introduce herself.
"... What do the princess of another kingdom doing over here?" Takeo voice his question, "Its a long story but please I have a request, can you come to my kingdom, the king who is ruling Entrorio is now at a huge risk of assassination!" She announce the news, making the future Hajigami king surprise.
"Assassination? Do you know who?" He ask but receive a answer he was expecting not to hear, "I don't know, but all member of the Heros Clan is being kill off, one by one and I'm afraid the king is next."
"I see... You may leave for now, i will consider your request." He dismiss the princess, "You are not gonna go Camazotz-san?" Mash ask much to the king of braves dismay.
"..." He is still thinking to himself, the Entrorio kingdom was a huge allied of him, providing a huge amount of near water resources and sea foods, losing them will surely effect the kingdom, one way or another. On the other hand, that thing O.R.T is currently awaken here and if he doesnt do anything about it, the whole world is going to suffer.
Its either the whole world or his kingdom, the choice there is obious. But before he could say anything, a certain Apostle voice call out, "I suggest you choose to go to that kingdom, King of Brave." He said starle the prince, "But don't you see it! It about to-"
Before he can finish, he got interrupted by the same guy, "I am not suggest you to go there for political reason, but rather, theres someone there that you guys may need to defeat the Spider." That caught the attention of everyone.
"As you may know, I and the other four magican are summon by the world in order to defend against the Spider, and the ending is as bad as it can get. If my theory are correct, then the world have summon at least six servant as a last ditch effort to fight that spider." He explain to them, waiting for them to absorb the information.
"We currently have four servant, Assassin Ryougi Shiki, Saber Miyamoto Iori, Archer Asagami Fujino and finally Caster Emiya Shirou, the one you will be looking for are either Lancer, Rider or Berserker and my six sense are telling me that one of them are at that kingdom." He finish his speech.
"Could we follow you Camazotz-san?" Ritsuka politely ask, "Could I follow too?" The prince suddenly got shock from just hearing the voice, he turn his head at the sources of the voice and found a blond girl that he swear isnt there before.
"Who are you, identified yourself!" He yell out making the blondie cover her ear, "Uhm, I always stand here. My name is Kitsuki, Kitsuki Ginhime." She introduce herself to the prince along with the Chaldea who share the same reaction as the prince earlier.
"A human? No a Master? Who is your Servant." Camazotz ask as Shirou speak up, "Its me, the one she contract is me." He answer in his Master behalf.
"... I see, then anyone else want to join in?" He ask to which a blond hair Vampire answer, "I would like to go too, there is a slight chance that Rosti is gonna be there so I can't miss that."
"I assume its all then." He said at the same time the princess come in.
"Have you finish yet prince Takeo?" She ask as soon as she came in the tent, "You are impatient... Nevertheless I have decide to come to your country, give me today to make report to father then I am ready to go." He said making the princess face light up.
"Excellent! Then I will prepare for tomorrow-" Before she can finish, the prince add in, "However I would only follow you if you allow me to bring six bodyguard with me."
The girl, although shock at the prince request, still nod to show her agreement, "... I see, very well I allow it, but only six okay?" She answer the future king request, "I promise, I will need only six."
But before they can come to an agreement, somebody suddenly burst into the tent, "Please wait! Bring me with you guys please!" It was a silver hair girl with blue eyes, "You are... Brunette, owner of the Susan inn at Food District, what are you come here for?"
The girl, although a bit shock that the prince knew about her, still manage to answer his question, "Please, I have a very urgent business there, please let me come with you." She said as behind her appear two guard, trying to grab her out.
"Please miss, you just recover so go back to your tent and rest, also this place is prohibited from cilvilians." One of the guard warn her but she didnt listen and continue to resist them
"Stop." The prince command the guard to stop, "Your voice just now... You do realize that this mission isnt some normal travel right?" He ask and receive Brunette nod.
"... Very well, you may come with us, however we will seperate way after going there, got it?" He request and receive another nod from her.
"Then the meeting is concluded, everyone dismiss." He command as Shirou group along with Brunette exit the tent, follow them are Annette with only the Chaldean and Takeo remain in the tent.
"You lot not gonna go?" He ask making Ritsuka blush, "... We actually don't know where to go." The red hair Master admit making Takeo froze in respond.
"*Sigh* You are supposed to be the final Master of humanity. Well what are you waiting for? Chase Brunette, the silver hair girl and beg her to stay at the inn, I heard that place is still intact... Somehow." He said making Mash and Ritsuka face bright up.
"Thank you Cama- I mean Takeo-san, we will go right away." Mash said as she and her Master along with the two blondie exit the tent to find the silver hair girl, "Those lot never change."
And we come to the conclusion of the first arc, what do you think of it? Pretty shock that the final boss is O.R.T right?... Right? Well anyway information time.
