Chapter ?: Wond~rous Sibling Love
Space...a wondrous world, filled with infinite Cosmic Energy.
Using the Astro Switches, these young people will open the door to the future of space.
Space on your hand! Reach out and seize the universe!
Illya's mind was moving just as quickly as her legs, her surroundings a blur as her friend Miyu practically dragged her along as the two of them ran as quickly as they could, trying to put as much distance between the group of black clad figures that had seemingly appeared from nowhere and attacked them.
How had her life all of a sudden become so crazy. Until recently she had been living the life of a normal girl in her Freshman year of high school, hanging out with her friends, watching magical girl anime and her only real concern was trying to get her homework done on time.
All that had all changed a couple of days ago when all of a sudden a large hulking monster had suddenly appeared and had begun targeting her, if the strange spaceman hadn't suddenly shown up to protect her…she didn't even want to think about what could have happened.
"Illya…" The sound of her friend's voice suddenly snapped the silver haired teen out of her musings. "Illya, are you still with me?"
"M…Miyu…" Illya replied, "Miyu, what are those things, where are you taking me?"
"I don't know but don't worry, I know where we can hide from those things." Miyu told her in a reassuring voice, "It's just a little further."
Before long the two girls arrived at the building that was used by the Archery Club to house their meetings as well as to store their equipment, today being a day that the club weren't meeting. Grabbing a hold of the handle of the door Miyu slid it open and ushered Illya inside before entering herself, closing the door behind her.
"Miyu," Illya panted heavily as she tried to catch her breath, "Are you sure we'll be safe in here?"
"Shhh," Miyu replied as she turned to face Illya, holding up one of her fingers and pressing it against her lips. "We need to be quiet, or do you want those things to find us?"
Illya's eyes widened as she felt a sharp and sudden pain in her gut before she found herself being shoved to the ground. Wincing in pain she looked up to see Miyu standing over her, the dark haired girl's face twisted into a look of contempt.
Moments later the door of the building was pulled sharply open and the group of Dustarts that had been pursuing them appeared in the doorway, several of them entering the building and flanking either side of Miyu, the dark haired girl's gaze never shifting from the silver haired Enizbern.
For a moment Illya didn't know what was going on, she was about to call out to Miyu when she took note of the look that her friend was giving her. All of a sudden the silver haired teens eyes widening in realization. Miyu…Miyu was working with these weird creatures, not only that she had brought her here for the purpose of getting her alone.
"M…Miyu…" Illya winced, her voice filled with both pain and shock. "W…why…why are you…"
At first Miyu said nothing, she merely stood there flanked by the group of Dustarts, her gaze fixed upon the fallen form of Illya.
"You…you don't deserve to be Shirou-Oniisans little sister." She growled, her dark eyes filled with anger as she glared coldly at Illya. "He was driven out by your family and you, you stood there and did nothing about it. If I was his sister I would never have allowed that to happen."
Reaching into her blazer the black haired girl produced an odd looking object. A black cylindrical object with a white oval shape on top of it, topped with a red button.
"When you're gone then I will be Shirou-Oniisan's real sister, I will do everything to make sure that he's happy." Miyu continued as she held the object out in front of her. "For his happiness you have to go."
Just then a noise from outside was heard, moments later the Dustarts that were hanging around the door were knocked aside and standing there was Shirou, the rust haired teen accompanied by Artoria, Cu and Kengo.
"Illya…" He cried out, his breathing heavy from all the running that he'd had to do to reach her.
"O…Oniisan…" Illya gasped, shocked by the sudden appearance by her brother and his friends.
Still panting, Shirou charged forward, any of the Dustarts that got in his wave getting a punch to the jaw or shoved aside as he dashed towards Illya, wrapping his arms around her smaller frame and lifted her back up onto her feet.
"Illya, are you alright?" He asked in a concerned voice as he checked her over. "Are you hurt?"
"O…Onii-San…" She stammered before shaking her head, the sight of which resulted in him letting out a sigh of relief.
"Thank god…" He said, a warm smile spreading across his lips before he pulled her into his chest. "Illya, if I lost you I don't know what I'd do…"
Illya stared at him, her eyes beginning to water. "Onii-san…" She muttered before she buried her head in his chest, a patch of his shirt becoming damp.
Shirou couldn't help but chuckle at this. "Even after all this time some things haven't changed." He said warmly. "You're still such a cry baby."
Illya sniffed, drops of water rolling down her face. "Am not…" She retorted, quickly wiping her tears away.
From her position Miyu watched the scene between the two siblings play out, her grip on her Zodiart Switch tightening and a look of hatred on her face. "Why…why does she get everything?" the dark haired girl snarled. "I hate you Illya…I hate you…"
Hearing this Shirou gave Illya another soft squeeze before releasing his hold on her and shifted his gaze over to Miyu, his eyes narrowed at the sight of the device in the dark haired preteen's hand.
"Zodiart Switch…" He muttered, his expression shifting itself into a firm look as he rose to his feet. "Miyu, why…why do you have a Zodiart Switch and are you trying to hurt Illya?"
Miyu stared back at him, despite the angry look in her face Shirou could see the conflicting emotions in her eyes.
"I…I missed you, you looked out for me. Made time for me. And then you left, because her family forced you to leave for two years." She growled, baring her teeth as she glared at Illya. "You were forced out and she watched and did nothing, she had you all to herself and she did nothing as her family made you leave, leave me alone for two whole years."
Miyu paused for a moment, angry tears rolling down her face. "For two years I was alone, my parents were never there for me. Having to go back to a cold and empty house day after day." She continued, her hand squeezing the Zodiart Switch in her palm. "I missed you, I missed seeing you. You were more like family to me then my parents ever were…"
She paused again, wiping her tears away before she held up the Zodiart Switch, her thumb resting against the large red button. "Don't worry Shirou-Oniisan," Miyu said, her tone suddenly more determined than before. "I promise that I'll be a much better little sister then Illya ever was."
And with that said, Miyu pressed it.
LAST ONE!
All of a sudden red veins spread across the silvery orb attached to the top of the item and spikes protruded from the base, digging themselves into Miyu's palm, the dark haired girl looking at the item for a moment before pressing down on the button once more.
No sooner had she done so Miyu's body was engulfed in dark energy that was accompanied by the image of the Hercules constellation before it was drawn into the dark cloud that moments later vanished and standing there was the monstrous form of the Hercules Zodiart that was standing over Miyu's unconscious form, her body now encased in a web like substance.
Shirou stared at the monstrous figure before him, a serious look etched into his face. "Miyu, I'm sorry. Since I got back I've been so wrapped in what I was doing that I neglected to look in on you. I let you and Illya down." He said solemnly. "If I had done so then maybe we wouldn't be in this situation. However still that doesn't make what you did to Illya right. You tried to hurt her, I can't forgive you for that…"
As he said this Shirou pulled out the Fourze Driver and placed it against his waist, a strap emerging from the device and secured itself around him, before flipping the four switches on the front of the bulky device.
3…! 2…! 1…!
"Henshin…" The rust haired teen announced before grabbing the lever on the Driver and gave it a tug and thrust his left hand towards the sky
All of a sudden a pair ring appeared from above and below the rust haired teen, the two of them moving to meet which was followed by an explosion of blue smoke that engulfed him, just as quickly the energy field and smoke dissipated to reveal a figure standing there, clad in an armored suit!
A rocket ship-like helmet with orange compound eyes stood out first, and a bright white form that evoked imagery of a space suit. Black lines and orange highlights gave the chest a prominent display, while silver and black armored shoulders gave it an almost knight like appearance.
Four distinct patterns on each limb, an orange circle and black square for the right and left arms, and a blue x and yellow triangle for the right and left legs respectively. Completing the armor were spacesuit like gloves and boots, and black knee pads.
At the same time both Artoria and Cu felt a rush of energy surge through them as they were once filled with the memories and abilities of the past lives, their uniforms vanished off of their bodies and were replaced with their battle gear and wielding their respective weapons.
Artoria now clad in a silvery/white dress, a breastplate covering her chest as well as gauntlets and grieves on her arms and legs, an elegant looking sword in one of her hands.
Cu meanwhile was now dressed in black vest and shorts worn underneath a blue shirt and patches on his hips that had pink trim on them as well as coverings on his legs. Around his neck was a pendant that was shaped like a wolf's head. An armored waist piece was around his middle that extended down to cover his hips and another length covering his groin. As well as a metal pad on each of his knees.
In his hand was a long green coloured spear that featured a double pronged blade on one end and a single point at the other.
Illya couldn't believe what she was seeing, her own brother was the spaceman that had been protecting her all along.
The now transformed Hercules Zodiart let out a cry before she charged at Fourze, swinging her club at him wildly, at the same time the Zodiarts charged towards Artoria and Cu who had their weapons at the ready.
Looking in from the doorway Kengo watched as Fourze was doing his best as not to get hit by the Hercules's club whilst at the same time shielding his sibling, at the same time Artoria and Cu had engaged the Dustart.
"Shirou…" Kengo muttered as he looked on, a stunned look on his face. Whilst he might not have known the rust haired Junior all that long he'd seen that despite being a pretty serious guy he knew that Shirou wasn't above cracking a smile or sharing a joke with the people that he cared about.
The mere fact that he hadn't done his whole 'Uchu Kiita' thing nor had he gone into his 'hero pesona' told him that this Zodiart had crossed a line the others hadn't and for possibly the first time that he was seeing Shirou get truly angry.
"Artoria, Cu," Fourze yelled out to his companions as he ducked out of the way of another of the Hercules Zodiart swings, doing his best to keep enough distance between them Illya, "You two can handle things here right?"
"Shirou…" Artoria replied as she dispatched two of the Dustarts with her sword. "Do not fret, you can trust Lancer and I to deal with these things."
"Ha, like hell these things are a match for me and Saber." Cu added, flashing a toothy smirk as he readied his to thrust his weapon forward. "Dealing with these things will barely make me break a sweat."
Nodding in response, Fourze balled up his fists and aimed a punch at the Hercules Zodiart's head, quickly following this up with two punches this time at its chest and finished this up with a kick in the same spot, knocking it back a few steps.
"Kengo, take care of Miyu…" Fourze called out to the shaggy haired teen before he reached down and pressed the button on the Rocket Switch that was loaded into his Driver.
ROCKET!
All of a sudden an orange construct made from glowing energy appeared around Fourze's right form arm which quickly solidified, taking the form of a large orange rocket with four fins on its base and three black boosters on the bottom.
RO~CKET ON!
Extending his right arm forward the booters in the rocket suddenly flared into life, launching Fourze forward towards the Hercules Zodiart, the astronaut themed Rider letting out a cry as he drove his rocket covered fist into the constellation theme Kajin's face, managing to knock it back a few steps.
Swinging around Fourze launched himself at the Hercules Zodiart again, slamming the top of the orange object into its chest and knocking it aside as he carried on forward towards Illya, wrapping his left arm around her waist, the silver haired teen letting out a scream as they were both carried towards the range, redirecting the trajectory and carrying both of them up into the air.
"You…you won't get away…" The Hercules Zodiart growled as she watched as the two of them flew off. Her body tensed up before she leapt up and landed on the roof of the range before she launched herself up onto the air after them.
As she watched as the Archery Club as well as the school's grounds got further and further away the silver haired teen noticed something coming towards the two of them, getting closer and closer with each second. "Onii-san, we've got company…"
Hearing Illya's voice Fourze shifted his gaze over in the direction the noise that the silver haired girl was indicating, both siblings seeing the Hercules Zodiart as she rocketed towards them, the monstrous creature letting out a snarl as she drew closer and closer, club at the ready.
"Damn," Fourze muttered before looking over at his sibling. "Illya, hold onto me. Whatever you do, don't let go…"
Feeling Illya wrap her arms around his neck, Fourze reached down and pressed a button on one of the switches set into his Driver.
LAUNCHER!
Much like with the Rocket, a blue energy construct appeared around Fourze's right that quickly solidified itself into a boxy rectangular shape with a groove running up it from which several white protrusions stuck out from it.
LAU~NCHER ON!
Shifting himself as to get a better view of the Hercules Zodiart, the Astronaut themed Rider launched a barrage of missiles at the Kaijin, Illya letting out a scream as the projectiles were launched, the white object cutting through the air and struck the Hercules Zodiart, knocking her out of the air.
As she fell the Hercules Zodiart threw her club at Fourze and Illya, the spiked object smashing the rocket that was attached to the astronaut themed Rider's arm, causing him and Illya to plummet towards the ground, the younger of the two siblings letting out another scream as they fell.
"Damn…" Fourze cursed as he and Illya descended quickly. "Illya, make sure you don't let go of me…"
Grabbing the Rocket Switch, he quickly switched it out with another Astroswitch and flipped the switch that was located on top of it.
PARACHUTE!
PARA~CHUTE ON!
The now damaged Rocket vanished, a large turquoise box taking its place, extending his arm and a segment slid open from which three drag chutes emerged and opened up, slowing both of their descent as the two of them drifted towards the wooded area that was located across the road from the school.
The moment that his feet touched the ground Fourze let out a deep sigh before he set Illya on the forest floor. "Phew, that was too close, good thing I had that Switch on me," Fourze let out a sigh, he then looked over at his sibling. "Illya, are you alright?"
"Onii-san…" Illya muttered. All of a sudden she balled up her fists and began to punch him in the arm. "Baka, baka, baka…"
"Hey, hey…" Fourze replied, managing to seize her wrists and managed to stop her from punching him. "Illya, what the heck…"
Illya glared at him, her eyes watering and her cheeks were puffed out. "Two years. You left for two whole years. You didn't call, you didn't write. You could have been dead for all I knew." She said, her tone between talking and yelling. "And then all of a sudden, you appear from out of the blue and instead of coming home you decide to live somewhere else. The only time I ever see you is here at school and you seem to go out of your way to avoid me."
By this point angry tears were now running down her face. "Do you have any idea what it's been like for me or how worried I was about you? Only getting to see you here at school only for you to ignore me. I was beginning to think that you hated me."
Fourze looked back at her, behind his helmet a look of shame spread across his face. Letting go of Illya's wrists he then placed his hands on her shoulders.
"I'm sorry Illya, I'm such a bad brother. It's just that things were pretty heated before I left to travel with Tou-san for two years, I wasn't sure if I'd be welcome if I came back home so I figured it would be easier to live by myself for Senior year. Then when I got involved in this whole Zodiart thing I figured it was best to stay away so you didn't get wrapped up in it."
"Baka…" Illya sniffed. "Onii-san is a baka…"
Fourze chuckled. "Yeah, I really am." He replied. "Illya, I don't hate you, I could never hate you. I promise that I'll do better."
All of a sudden a roar filled the air that was quickly followed by a loud boom as something hit the ground a short distance from the pair, the Hercules Zodiart emerging from the cloud of debris and was slowly making her way towards them.
"Damn…" Letting go of Illya's shoulder the astronaut themed Rider straightened up to his full height and turned to face the Kaijin that was stalked towards them. "Illya, go find cover."
Shooting both her brother and the approaching Kaijin one last look, Illya ran off and hid behind one of the nearby trees, peering out from behind the trunk, a look of apprehension on her face.
As the Hercules Zodiart drew closer, her pace increasing with each step, the Astronaut themed Rider quickly switched out several of the Switches that were loaded into his Fourze Driver and replaced them with new ones, managing to do so before the Hercules Zodiart closed the gap between them.
A growl rumbling from her chest, the Hercules Zodiart swung her club at Fourze who was doing his best to duck and weave out of the way of the large club, ducking out of the way of another of the Zodiart's swing at him he pressed a button located on top of one of the Switches that he'd loaded into his Fourze Driver.
BEAT!
BE~AT ON!
Another boxy attachment appeared on Fourze's right leg similar to Launcher, this one being dark pink and had a speaker attached to it.
Slamming his foot onto the ground a loud noise suddenly blared out from the speaker, one loud enough to cause the Hercules Zodiart to let out a groan as she pressed a hand to the side of her head, trying in vain to block out the noise.
Fourze repeated this a few more times, each time unleashing a deafening burst of sound at the Kaijin, each time she howled in pain. Seeing his chance Fourze delivered several punches to the bulky Zodiart's chest and followed them with another to her jaw, letting out a low growl as she fixed her gaze upon him, seemingly unfazed by his punches.
Her growl became louder before she aimed her own punch at Fourze, catching him in the chest and sending him flying backwards and impacting against the trunk of one of the trees.
"D…damn," Fourze groaned as he picked himself up. "Ok, let's see if this works any better…"Saying this he flipped the small lever attached to the top of the Switch slotted into the right most slot in the Fourze Driver.
ELEK!
EL~EK ON!
A burst of bright yellow light engulfed Fourze's right hand as Billy the Rod appeared in his grip before moments later he was engulfed in electrical energy that crackle around him, Rider's body and a Moments later which in turn caused the glove and bulky gauntlet of his left arm to change colour and the armored pieces on his legs.
The electrical energy spread itself through the rest of his armor, changing the suit minus the armor gauntlets of his left arm and pieces on his legs, changed from white to a reflective gold with black highlights.
The orange lenses on his helmet were now an electric blue. Around his shoulders with a black harness that was adorned with several circular attachments that had silver reflective circles on them.
"Kamen Rider Fourze Elek States…" The astronaut themed Rider announced, pointing his weapon at the monstrous Kaijin. "Miyu, let's finish this. You and me…"
That said Fourze lunged forward, the black rod beginning to crackle with energy as he swung his weapon at the Hercules Zodiart and struck her across the chest, the constellation themed Kaijin letting out a grunt as the wound crackled with electrical energy.
Seeing that Billy the Rod had been effective, Fourze quickly followed his attack up by swinging the weapon at the Hercules Zodiart several times, electricity passing through her each time the black rod made contact, before she managed to raise her club and managed to block his weapon.
Fourze and the Zodiarts weapons collided, electricity crackling along the black stem of the spaceman's rod-like weapon. Behind his helmet, Fourze gritted his teeth as he tried to push back the Hercules Zodiarts. His efforts however were proving futile, much like the hero for whom the constellation was named after the bulky Kaijin's strength far exceeded his own.
Letting out a growl, Hercules Zodiart grabbed at the golden Rider by one of the straps on his shoulders and swung him round before throwing him into the trunk of yet another tree. His body aching and head ringing the Astronaut themed Rider barely had time to react as the Hercules Zodiart attempted one again to swing her club at him, rolling out of the way at the heavy weapon.
Undeterred the Hercules Zodiart swung her weapon at him again, as she did so the unit attached to Fourze's back suddenly flared into life, releasing a burst of smoke that propelled Fourze along the ground and out of the way of the Hercules Zodiart's club moments before her weapon collided with the ground.
Picking himself up Fourze considered his options, he momentarily thought about unleashing another blast from the Beat module attached to his leg but quickly reconsidered, figuring that the same tactic wasn't likely to work a second time. Thinking quickly Fourze acted quickly, removing the Beat Switch from its slot on his Driver Fourze quickly switched it out with another one.
SMOKE!
SM~OKE ON!
The Beat Module vanished and second later a new module took its place on Fourze's right shin, this one being purple that was X shaped in design with a canister with a nozzle attached to them on each of the points.
The new module in place the device then unleash which a cloud of thick white smoke from each of the canisters which engulfed the Hercules Zodiart, the bulky Kaijin letting out a howl of rage as she swung her weapon blindly around her, trying futility to hit the Astronaut themed Rider and coming nowhere close.
Seeing his chance, Fourze pressed down on the top of the switch that was loaded into the left most slot in his Driver.
HOPPING!
HOP~PING ON!
Activating the switch a new pink module appeared and attached itself to Fourze's left leg that vaguely resembled a pogo stick, its appearance momentarily shifting his balance but he quickly stabilized himself.
Jumping in place a few time Fourze then lunged at the Hercules Zodiart, the bulky Kaijin attempting to swing her club at him only for Fourze to quickly leap up and out of the way, the Zodiarts club swinging at the spot of empty air where he had been seconds before.
Having managed to avoid the Hercules Zodiart, Fourze landed behind her, swinging around he swung Billy the Rod and slashed her across the back which resulted in her letting out a hiss of pain before she retaliated, Fourze once again using the Hopping Module to jump up and out of the way.
Again and again Fourze utilized the Hopping Module to both attack the Hercules Zodiart and get himself out of trouble before she could retaliate. Just as he avoided another of the Kaijin's swings at him an idea popping into Fourze's head, as he descended he kicked out with the Hopping Module and managed to strike her in the chest and launched himself backwards. As he was thrown backwards he released another burst of white smoke from the Smoke Module, the Hercules Zodiart howling once again as she found herself blinded.
As he flew through the air Fourze removed the Elek Switch from his Driver and slotted it into a matching slot located at the pommel of Billy the Rod, the black blade of golden Rider's weapon becoming engulfed in a surge of crackling energy the black blade like attachment crackling.
ELEK LIMIT BREAK!
Just before he made contact with a trunk of one of the trees Fourze flipping himself horizontally, the Hopping Module compressing itself as it pressed itself against the trunk before it retracted and launched him in the Hercules Zodiarts direction.
"RIDER TEN BILLION VOLT BREAK!" Fourze cried out as he rushed towards the Hercules Zodiart, delivering a horizontal slash that caught her in the chest as he cut through her and landed behind her.
Her body crackling with electrical energy, the Hercules Zodiart let out one final cry before she was engulfed in a large explosion and was consumed by it, leaving only the Zodart Switch behind.
Reinserting the Elek Switch as well as disengaging the Hopping Module, Fourze picked up the Switch from the now defeated Zodiart and pressed the red button, the item momentarily glowing before it vanished in a swirl of dark energy, transported back to the Rabbit Hutch where Kengo would later convert it into a new Astroswitch.
That done Fourze flipped up the switches on the Fourze and cancelled his transformation, the same twin rings reappearing and a flash of energy and smoke engulfed him which quickly dissipated to reveal Emiya Shirou standing there, the red head letting out a sigh.
All of a sudden he felt a weight latch on to him, looking down he found Illya staring up at him, her arms around his waist. "Onii-san, are you alright?" She asked him, "It's all over, right?"
Shirou took a few breaths. "Yeah, yeah I'm good." He relied, placing a hand on Illya's shoulder. "And don't worry, that thing won't be after you anymore."
"What about Miyu," Illya said, sounding worried. "She…is she…"
"Don't worry, Miyu's fine." Shirou assured her. "Now that she's free of the Switches influence she should be back to normal now."
"You promise?" Illya asked.
"Cross my heart." Shirou replied. "Although, we're both gonna have to make things up to her. The Switch might influenced her but those feelings she had didn't just come from nowhere."
Illya shifted her gaze away from him, looking back in the direction of the school. "Miyu…" She muttered, a look of concern on her face.
Seeing the expression on the silver haired teens face caused a deep frown to spread across Shirou's face, he didn't like that look she had right now. "Hey Illya," He said, his tone and expression suddenly becoming a lot more upbeat and warm, "Wanna see something cool?"
Illyasviel could barely contain herself at the sight of the room in which she found herself in, a room that just so happened to be located on the moon.
The moon, she was actually here on the moon, brought her by her estranged brother through a strange hole that was located in the back of a storage closet at the school that they both attended.
"W…whoa…" She exclaimed as she gazed out of the window, taking in the sight of both the Luna landscape as well as the Earth that dominated the skyline. "This place is amazing."
From his place Shirou watched as Illya took in her surroundings, seeing her look her look of glee brought a smile to his face. "I know right," He replied. "We call this place the Rabbit Hutch, apparently it was some kind of abandoned base left behind by some space agency."
Tearing her eyes away from the window, Illya turned to look at her brother. "Rabbit Hutch…" She muttered to herself. "So, uhm, what do you guys do up here anyway?"
"Errm, honestly we just kinda hang out." Shirou replied. "You could say that this place is like a club house."
"Club house, you have a club house on the moon…" Illya said, her eyes wide. "That…that is so cool…"
"That's right, I doubt you'll find any other club who can say that they have a club house this swanky." Cu spoke up as he idly bounced a basketball on the ground before lining up a shot at a hoop that was attached to the wall. "So what, you're like our mascot now?"
"Mascot…" Illya replied.
"Sure, all clubs need a mascot," Cu replied. "Preferably something small and cute, it's a sure fire way to attract more members for the club. I say you fit the bill." He then tossed the ball at the hoop, sinking the orange round object into the basket.
"Hey hey," Rin spoke up in an annoyed tone. "Who says that she gets to join our club? We're super exclusive, we can't just go around letting just anyone join us." Just then a smug look then spread across her lips as she flipped a loose strand of hair out of her face.
"Sides, I'm the school's idol remember," She said in a smug tone. "We're way too classy to resort to such clichéd tactics like a mascot."
Illya narrowed her eyes at the dark haired Tohsaka. "Oh, that certainly explains a lot." She said, her tone mocking.
Hearing this the smug look vanished from Rin's face and she turned her gaze towards Illya, narrowing her eyes dangerously at her. "Excuse me," She growled. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Just pointing out that this club barely has any members." Illya replied, narrowing her own eyes dangerously back at Rin. "You can't be much of an idol if no one wants to join a club that you happen to be a part of."
An angry snarl passed Rin's lips as she bared her teeth. "Why you little…" She then lunged at Illya, the silver haired girl letting out an eep and she quickly dashed away, trying her best to stay ahead of Rin as she chased her around the room, the two of them managing several laps as Illya tried to stay ahead of Rin who had the look of an enraged demon who wanted her blood.
"Hey, Tohsaka." Shirou said as he placed himself between his enraged friend and his sibling, the Homurahara idol was giving off an aura that made her look far more intimidated by her than any of the Zodiarts that he'd face off against up to this point. "I would really appreciate it if you didn't murder my little sister."
"I have to agree with Shirou Rin," Artoria said, trying her best to calm the situation. "Please calm yourself, a Senior chasing after the younger students and trying to kill them sets a bad example for the underclassmen."
From his seat at the table that dominated the center of the room, Kengo let out a groan as he tried and failed to ignore the activity that was going on around him, abandoning his work on converting the newly acquired Zodiart Switch into a new Astroswitch.
"Just great," He groaned as he rested his chin on his hands. "More noise…"
"Hey, don't be such a grouch," Yuki told him, gesturing towards the spot where Illya was using Shirou as a shield to protect herself from the enraged Rin who was being restrained by Artoria, all the while Cu meanwhile was practically rolling on the ground laughing at the scene that was playing out before him. "Just be happy that we helped to reunite a brother and sister."
"Oh yeah," Kengo replied, a grumpy look on his face. "I'm so glad…"
AN And like that another chapter is in the bag. So yeah, I imagine that a lot would have preferred the Zi-O but I decided to go with this one for a couple of reasons, the first being the Zi-O chapter is pretty long and I want to give it another look before posting it. The second being that Fate/Fourze is a combination that I haven't seen anyone try before.
I'm sure the knee jerk reaction for many is "you can't do a Fate/Fourze story, their too tonally different" 1) while Fate can be serious isn't exactly uber grim dark nor is incapable of having humor and lighter moments and 2) whilst many Kamen Rider shows start out on the sillier side they can get pretty serious in the latter half of their run. Plus, like I said before, you can make any Fate/Kamen Rider story work with some creative writing.
I think its pretty evident that I took some inspiration from Prisma Illya for this when coming up with is, its lighter tone meshes better with Fourze then the main Fate universe, then again you could this a universe where Kiritsugu won the Fourth Holy Grail War and the Grail actually works the way its supposed to and the world this story takes place in was created as the result of his wish.
Now that I think about it this story being related to Prisma Illya would explain why the Fifth Grail War Servants just so happen to walking around in modern times, its less that they were reincarnated into the modern world and rather that the Class Cards attached themselves to people who just so happen to look like them and grants them access to their abilities and just happen to attend the same school as Shirou and Rin.
As for the chapter itself and the backstory is that two years prior to the start of this story is that Shirou left Fuyuki to travel around with Kiritsugu, both he and Irisviel are still alive in this, after a falling out with the Einzbern side of the family before returning to attend Homurahara for his Senior year and getting involved with Yuki, who's an old friend of Shirou's much like she was Gentaro's, and Kengo's fight against the Zodiarts.
Also what do you think about the idea of using Proto-Lancer as the stand in for Cu's younger self. Artoria Lily makes sense since she marks a point in Saber's life prior to her having pulled Excalibur from the stone, plus both Medea and Medusa have Lily versions of their characters, so I figured Proto-Lancer works as a version of Cu before he obtains Gáe Bulg.
As of right now the current members of the Kamen Rider Club are Shirou Kengo, Yuki, Rin, Artoria, Cu and Illya with Medusa, Medea and Sakura finding out about and joining the club in the following chapters, they'd certainly have joined the club prior to Meteor's arrival. And that's not even touching on EMIYA, or rather Mr. Archer, who in this story is one of the teachers.
On a side note the Sentai show King-Ohger just started and it looks like it could be interesting. I might check it out, the last new Sentai show I watched was Kyuranger and it sucked shit through a straw, so much so that it killed my enthusiasm for Super Sentai. That brief moment when both it and Build were airing at the same time, urgh. Bad Kamen Rider and bad Super Sentai at the same isn't fun.
Meanwhile Geats continues to be good, episode 24 might just be one of the most creative clips shows I've ever seen as well as giving us a massive lore dump on the Desire Grand Prix, turns out the competition spans time, space and dimensions. Also Ace, if the part we saw in episode 24 is true, isn't thousands of years old.
Something interesting that I came across recently was a theory someone posted on a Youtube short is that Ziin could be the shows big bad, their reasoning for this is based upon that he loves the Desire Grand Prix and wants to see it continue. Personally I don't know about that. If you ask me the true villain of Geats isn't Ziin, it isn't Beroba or the Jyamato, the real villain is the Desire Grand Prix itself.
And since we're on the subject of Geats the potential Fate/Geats story idea that I came up with has had a couple of changes, first is that it recently occurred to me that I forgot to give it a name, so after some consideration the title of the Fate/Geats story will be Fate/Dual On. The second is Artoria's role, in the pitch she was originally going to be Glare but given recent developments it might make more sense for her to be Gazer instead.
Before I sign off I got some questions that I answer. First guest asked how Magi in general react to the existence of Gaia Memories? "Your saying this stick will give me power? Gimmie gimmie gimme"
mastergamer14 asked if it was possible to have Dopants based on a heroic spirit, like Chulainn Dopant or King Arthur Dopant. Interested idea, I imagine Dopants like that would be very powerful, we're talking the level of the Utopia Dopant. At least.
Lastly Bravekid who asked how Gorgom would react to the World of Fate, honestly your question got me thinking how would groups like Shocker and Gorgom be allowed to operate unchecked in a world where the Mages Association and the Churches Executioners exist, surely you'd think that they'd get taken out.
Although many of the old Rider Villains did utilise dark magic that they used in combination with Cyborg technology so it isn't so far fetched to think that Shocker and the others could have ties to the Clock Tower. But wait, dose that…that… Oh. My. God, that could only mean that the Mages Association…is Shocker and Zelretch is the Great Leader!
Ok, probably not.
One last thing, I mentioned in a previous chapter I've got ideas in mind for chapters based on Faiz, Blade and OOO and figured why not ask all of you what you want me to work on next?
Fate/Exceed would be something of a follow up to the first instalment.
Fate/Straight Flush has Rin and Archer having a run in with Chalice (FYI Shirou would be "Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film" for that one).
Fate/Regret Nothing has Shirou, Saber and the others facing off against a Mega Greeed.
Again I'm asking all of you to pick what chapter idea do you all want me to work on next not what will get posted next.
So yeah, I think I'm done for now. Please feel free to drop a comment and let me know what you thought of this one, feedback it always appreciated. Currently I'm working on something pretty special, as to what it is you'll just have to wait and see.
Till next time, peace out y'all
