WARRIOR
Ep.3:The Warning of the war
In Shirou Emiya resident 21:30 p.m. A short-haired woman, brown hair. She dressed in a yellow T-shirt and stood glaring at Shirou, who's now kneeling on the ground.
Fuji: What do you think you're doing!? Emiya-kun?!
Shirou: W-Wait, Fuji-nee-san!! I can explain!
Suddenly, the woman responded to his words by stomping the ground loudly, startling both Yusuke and Saber, who were sitting nearby.
Fuji: I was gone for less than a week, and you brought two more people to stay here! Are you turning this place into a homestay or what?!
Shirou: Well, one of them is a friend of my father's, and the other is my friend from the countryside! They're just staying here for a while!!! Only that!!
Fuji seems annoying by the Shirou statement. As she smacked Shirou on the head with a rolled-up newspaper and shouted echoing throughout the house.
Fuji: I can understand your male friend one!!! but that foreign woman! How is it okay to have her stay one-on-one with a guy?!
Shirou glanced around nervously, trying to think of an excuse.
Shirou: W-Well...
Fuji: I don't care! Another girl must stay here! It could be me if I don't have an incoming job outside of town!!
After speaking, Fuji turned to look at a demure girl with purple hair. She's in her white dress and apron, seemingly just finishing the kitchen job.
Sakura: M-Me?
The girl looked surprised.
Fuji: I'm going to have to ask you, Sakura, to stay here for a while. Is it okay??
Sakura: Sure!
Sakura agreed cheerfully, somewhat out of personality for her.
Time passed...
Fuji: I'll leave it to you then! Sakura!
Outside the house, Fuji said goodbye with a cheerful smile.
Bang!
After Fujimura-san left, Shirou shut the door loudly and sighed in relief.
Shirou: That was close one to the madness.
Yusuke: Hey, it's quite excited!
Yusuke moved to pat Shirou on the shoulder, but Shirou quickly dodged away his shoulder before both of their bodies even touched.
Shirou: Don't touch me... I'm not your plaything.
Yusuke: Hey, don't be stressed out about it.
Before Yusuke could say more, Shirou had already walked into his room and bang closed his door like he's out of mood or something.
Yusuke: Well, alright then...
...
...
...
...
All Black
In a mysterious place
surrounded by darkness
Yusuke looked around, hoping to find some light.
And Then. He found a door glowing white in front of him.
Yusuke rushes towards it. Just as he was about to reach the light...
Splat!
He fell to the ground, blood spurting from his lower body.
Then he turned to find his legs missing.
???:You can't leave yet.
A distorted voice, like an old broken radio, came from behind Yusuke.
A black shadow, resembling Kuuga figure but lacking skin. It's all darkness and void in their apprance.
It's walked towards him, grabbed his neck, and lifted him into the air.
Yusuke is struggling to be free. But he was nearly unable to move his body, like all of his energy was being drained out.
???:You can't leave.
The figure repeats that again, and the grip tightens slowly.
Yusuke: N-No...
Snap!
He woke up in his empty bedroom; the morning ray is shining in. Yusuke was drenched in sweat, his heart racing from what he had seen.
Yusuke: A nightmare!???... that was fickin terrifying...
Yusuke slowly removed his blanket.
He reliefs when realizing His legs were still there...
...
Yusuke: Hey! Where are Emiya and Sakura?
Having just finished dressing, Yusuke walked into the living room only to find there's only Saber sitting in the room.
Saber: They've already left.
Yusuke: so quickly...
Yusuke is scratching his head.
Yusuke: Alright then. I'll be getting going now.
He shut the door loudly before heading out.
...
Yusuke stood in front of the school gate, which bore the name "Komamura."
Yusuke: Feels like I'm really back in my world...
He muttered to himself, despite knowing that the events of the past days were not a dream. He felt like all things were not really entirely different from his world.
As he stepped through the school gate—
Thump!
Yusuke: Huh?!
A sensation like hundreds of needles piercing his chest hit Yusuke. Though there was nothing outwardly wrong, he felt it sharply for a moment.
Yusuke: What was that?
But the feeling is gone...
In the school hallway, students bustled about. The atmosphere wasn't much different from the school Yusuke used to attend, except for the unfamiliar uniforms.
Yusuke: Where is he...
He looked around, hoping to find Shirou, but there was no sign of him.
Shirou: Hey, Issei!
Yusuke heard Shirou's voice from a classroom. He moved closer and peeked through the window, seeing Shirou talking to a serious-looking boy with blue hair and glasses.
Yusuke: Shi—
Before he could call out, Yusuke stopped in track as he overheard their conversation.
Boy with glasses: The person who disappeared is Mitsuzuri Ayako, the captain of the archery club.
Shirou's face went pale after the statement. It's like everything went.
Yusuke: Who??
Both Shirou and that glasses boy turned to look at Yusuke after he spoke up.
Boy with glasses: Hey! The student council room is closed right now! You can't just barge in!
Yusuke: Ah...
He smiled nervously.
Yusuke: I'm friends with Shirou... I was just looking for him.
The boy with glasses turned to Shirou with unsure expressions over his face.
Boy with glasses: Your friend?
Shirou glanced at Yusuke for a moment before turning back to the boy.
Shirou: Well...kind off...
The boy with glasses adjusted his spectacles and looked at Yusuke.
Boy with glasses: I've never seen you before. Are you new?
Yusuke: Yeah, I'm Yusuke Godai.
Before he could finish, the boy with glasses stood up.
Boy with glasses: Anyway, just know that the school will close early because of the chaos recently. Be careful.
Yusuke: Got it.
...
In class, around 7 AM.
Yusuke: Emiya, you've got a friend who's the student council president? That's awesome!
Shirou doesn't respond to what Yusuke said; he's completely ignored, like he had something on his mind.
Yusuke: Hey, what's up... is something wrong?
Shirou sighed.
Shirou: A student went missing... and she is someone I knew.
Yusuke: Missing...?
Yusuke's cheerful expression turned serious.
Yusuke: It's not related to the Holy Grail War, isn't it...?
Yusuke's words. made Shirou look slightly scared, as it's his first time speaking up in a cold tone.
Shirou: I don't know... but maybe—
???: Are you the new student...?
A boy with wavy blue hair, hands in his pockets, walked over with a mocking smile.
Shirou: Shinji...
Yusuke: Uh... what do you want...?
Shinji turned his eye towards Yusuke.
Shinji: Nothing... just wanted to see the face of someone desperate enough to befriend Emiya.
Shinji chuckled lightly before heading back to his seat.
Yusuke: Who is that guy?... seems popular. But also an annoying person I want to punch in the face.
Shirou: Mato Shinji... he's Sakura's older brother. And yes, he's quite famous here.
Yusuke looked at Shinji annoyingly. Shinji, who is surrounded by girls and looks friendly, however, the malevolent aura is emanating from him.
...
That evening, half an hour before the school closed...
In the archery club room, Yusuke loaded three arrows and pulled the bowstring to its fullest without much effort. His eyes focused on the targets like a hawk on prey.
Fwoosh!
Club Member: Oh my God!
All three arrows hit the bullseyes of three targets simultaneously.
Sakura: S-Senpai Yusuke...
Sakura looked as stunned as everyone else.
Club Member 1: Amazing!
Club Member 2: How did you do that?!
Yusuke turned to them with a thumbs up.
Yusuke: Shirou mentioned the archery club, so I thought I'd give it a try... how was that?
Sakura clasped her hands together, staring at Yusuke with wide eyes.
Sakura: Senpai... would you consider joining our archery club?
Yusuke put down the bow.
Yusuke: No thanks...
Club Member: Then at least teach us!!!
Minutes later, Yusuke walked out of the clubroom, looking exhausted.
Yusuke: Shouldn't have shown off...
As Yusuke was about to leave, Sakura ran up to him in a panic.
Sakura: Senpai Yusuke... have you seen Senpai Emiya? I found his bag, but he's not there...
Yusuke: No...wait, you haven't seen him anywhere in the school??
Sakura nods, answering. The answer made Yusuke feel uneasy, especially with the school's now completely empty and devoid of any students besides him and Sakura.
Aaaahhhh!!!
A scream echoed from the forest beside the school. Yusuke ran towards the source without hesitation.
In the forest, he saw Shirou leaning against a tree, injured. Standing next to him was a woman with long purple hair and a blindfold, wielding chain weapons—clearly a servant.
Yusuke: Henshin!!!
Kuuga's form enveloped Yusuke, and he leaped to punch the Servant.
???: uh!?!
Before the punch could hit, the servant instantly dodged away and disappeared in front of his eye.
Shirou: Yusuke, is that you?!
Kuuga: Yeah...
Kuuga eyed and checked on Shirou, noticing a large wound on his left arm.
Shirou: Be careful... that one... is
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the figures appear up; it's rushing towards Kuuga like a bullet and hitting directly at him.
Thwack!
Kuuga: Whoa!
Kuuga raised his arm blocked up on time.
However, the force from the impact is still sending him stumbling down.
Kuuga: So fast?!
Kuuga looking up to see that's servant moving above his head in speed that's even he unable to see them.
With that, he's started doing transformation poses.
Kuuga: change!
Kuuga shifted to his blue form. As the Servant rushed down and attacked again, Yusuke dodged away in the mid-air before rolling his bodies down and counterpunching the Servant's stomach instantly!!!
???: UGH!!!
The punch sent the servant flying, crashing into a tree before falling to the ground.
It seems like she's not affected much by the attack. Soon she looks up at Kuuga.
Kuuga: Huh...?
At that moment, when he clearly saw the face of the servant, it was as if time around him had stopped. He felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had met her before...
Kuga: Mari?
Just as Yusuke began to remember, the servant disappeared right before their eyes, leaving no trace behind.
With Servant having fled, Kuuga transformed back to Yusuke.
Yusuke: Are you okay?
Yusuke asked Shirou, who was walking towards him, holding a wound with another hand.
Shirou: I'm fine...
Yusuke looked a bit frustrated at Shirou's statement.
Yusuke: As I expected, huh?
Before they could continue talking, the sound of footsteps running towards them interrupted. When they turned, they saw Rin Tohsaka.
Yusuke: You!?
Rin: You?
Both Rin and Yusuke looked surprised, unprepared for this encounter.
Rin, in particular, showed her displeasure openly.
Rin: I never thought I'd see you again...
Yusuke: So you did now? ...Are you going to kill me?
They glared at each other intensely, the atmosphere growing tense.
It's like both of them are prepared to jump in to fight at any moment...
But then...
Rin: Actually, I have a better offer...
Rin's words made Yusuke lower his hostile gaze.
Yusuke: Go on...
...
In a modest two-story European-style mansion, the home of the Tohsaka family, the three of them were in the guest room, adorned with numerous luxurious decorations.
Yusuke: I must have misjudged... You really are rich, huh...
Yusuke reached out to touch a porcelain bust on a shelf...
Smack!!
Rin slapped Yusuke's hand away forcefully, leaving him with red skin.
Rin: Don't touch!! Anything!!
She said firmly before running toward the door.
Rin: Archer!! Is the tea ready yet?
Archer: Yeah, yeah, it's ready.
Several minutes passed. Yusuke, Shirou, and Rin are sitting at the table in the guest room, each with a cup of fragrant tea...
Rin: After investigating, I'm sure there's another master at the school beside us... So, I'm offering a truce.
Tohsaka spoke with a serious expression.
While Yusuke raised his glass, took a sip of tea, and began to speak.
Yusuke: Your proposal is interesting...
Rin turned towards him with an irritating face.
Rin: You... You have no right to make decisions about these matters because you're not a master...
Yusuke doesn't respond to what Rin said and is acting like he doesn't care...
During this time, the room filled with the silence of the three people staring at each other.
Shirou: I agree
Yusuke turned to look at Shirou, not particularly surprised much.
Yusuke: for real?
Shirou: The servant I encountered must be related to the recent disappearances at school... We should deal with that master first.
Yusuke: Since Shirou said that, then...
Yusuke sipped his tea while speaking.
Rin: But just calling a truce doesn't mean we're cooperating!
Yusuke put down his tea cup and slowly leaned toward Rin.
Yusuke: Really? but it seems like you're suggesting an alliance...
Rin looked shocked, as if her true intentions had been exposed.
Rin: No, not at all... Anyway, you and Emiya are still my enemies...
Rin crossed her arms tightly and avoided Yusuke's gaze. Acting like she's still in control.
Yusuke: Really???
Yusuke smiled mischievously and turned his gaze, following her eye. As Rin's cheeks began to redden, she quickly sprang from her seat and glared at Yusuke with an angry expression.
Rin: D—don't even think about it!!! What I say is what I mean!!!
Yusuke leaned back, smiling in amusement at Rin's reaction.
...
Yusuke and Shirou stepped out of the mansion. The sun had set, and the night had fallen with the moonlight reflecting from the sky.
Yusuke: Hey, Shirou.
Shirou: What's up?
Yusuke sighed.
Yusuke: I don't really want to oppose your choice to ally with Rin... but I don't trust that's one who's close to Rin.
Shirou: Who do you mean??
Shirou looked at him with a puzzled expression.
??? : How interesting.
A resonant voice came from behind them. When they turned around, they saw a silver-haired man in red attire—Archer—appearing suddenly from thin air.
Archer: Are you wary of me?
Archer stood with his arms crossed, intimidating posture, while glaring at Yusuke.
Yusuke: If you know enough to suggest it, then it must be...
Archer: tsh...
He stopped before continuing his statement.
Archer: I don't know who you really are, kid, but your presence here has changed many things...
Archer stopped speaking as his body slowly faded into the air.
Archer: Watch yourself, Yusuke Godai.
