Fate/Lock On
Chapter ?: The Overlord King
Pluck the fruit of Heaven, that the world maybe dyed in your image
Is that the glory you seek? Is that burden one you can bare?
Know this, the lives of men are not ours to control. Not even our own.
We cannot deny the inexorable current of fate that carries us.
But what if fate were to call you…to change the world?
To turn the course of the future?
You cannot defy your fate, but the fate of the world is in your hands…
The light of a new day had dawned, its light spreading across the valley as Shirou and his group made their way through the crumbling remains of a civilization that was now lost time, one of countless others that had been lost to the forest of Helheim.
All of them were on edge as they passed through the remains of what would have been a thriving metropolis now as quiet as the grave. Eventually the line of buildings thinned out and they found themselves at the entrance of a large cave.
The echoing sound of footsteps approaching from within was heard, altered by their presence, and from the opening emerged a tall red and black creature with glowing yellow eyes, its body covered in skin that resembled armor with a cape dangling off of its back and wielding a particular looking sword with an ornate looking attachment connected to the pommel.
"That's an Overlord?" Rin muttered to herself as the red and black skinned Kaijin walked towards them. "Damn, this thing seems really powerful…"
This Overlord, see it reminded of that night outside of Kotomine Church where she, Emiya and Saber had encountered Berserker for the first time. Like the colossal Servant this creature seemed to project an aura of both strength as well as barely contained aggression, that mere fact alone terrified her.
"Indeed," Saber replied as she assumed her battle garb, "This creature, its very being radiates an aura of great strength."
"You, back again." The red Overlord spoke, from the sound of its tone it seemed to groan upon seeing Kaito, "Seems like you didn't learn the from last time you barged in here."
Kaitou stayed quiet as the red Overlords steely fixed its gaze upon him, matching its glare with his own. This went on for a few seconds before the red skinned creature standing before him let out a groan and shook its head.
"Fine, guess I'll just have to beat you into the ground again." They heard it say. "Maybe this time you'll learn that you have no hope of defeating me."
Kaitou glared at the red skinned Overlord, producing his Sengoku Driver and placed it against his waist, the strap protruding from it and securing itself to him. "Emiya…" The brunette said, his gaze never shifting from the Overlord.
"Right…" Shirou replied, securing his own Driver to himself, before he and Kaitou pulled out their Lockseeds, popped the locks and secured them to their respective belts.
ORANGE…/BANANA…
"Tohsaka, Illya, it is probably best that you two should find a place to hide." Shirou told the two girls.
"What?" Rin exclaimed. "You really expect us to go hide while you fight this thing."
"Do not argue Rin, for once I agree with Emiya Shirou." Archer told his Master as he produced one of his signature falchions in each of his hands, "None of us are at peak strength and if these Overlords truly are as strong as he and Kumon Kaito have been told then I cannot guarantee your safety."
Rin glared at both Gaim and Archer, clearly not happy about being told that she'd have to go hide like some scared child.
"Fine," She said, her tone harsh. Reaching out she took hold of Illya's shoulder and began leading her away. "Come on Illya, the silly boys want to fight."
As both Rin and Illya retreated, Shirou and Kaitou Popped the locks of their Lockseeds and attached them to their respective Drivers.
ORANGE! LOCK ON…/BANANA! LOCK ON…
A pair of zipper openings appeared above the two of them, from which emerged the mechanical looking fruit.
"Henshin…"/"Henshin…" Both of them proclaimed as they pressed down on the small blade attached to their Sengoku Drivers, the front plate of their Lockseeds falling open.
Their respective fruit descended upon them, the bodysuit of their Rider forms forming on their bodies before the fruit unfurled themselves into their armored forms.
SOIYA! ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI, ON SUTĒJI!
COME ON! BANANA ARMS! (trumpets) KNIGHT OF SPEAR!
Snarling, the red Overlord flourished its weapon before it then charged forward, the pair of Armored Riders and the two Servants bracing themselves in preparation, before moments later the red Overlord's body began to shimmer before it suddenly vanished in a streak of red.
"H…huh!" Gaim exclaimed, shocked by his opponent's sudden disappearance. "He's gone."
"Stay alert." Baron called out, the red, yellow and silver Rider gripping his lance in preparation. "This thing has all sorts of tricks at its disposal."
No sooner had he said this the red Overlord reappeared, appearing before Gaim, slashing at the unprepared Rider with his sword across the chest with enough force to knock him backwards.
Seeing her Master go down, Saber dashing towards the red skinned Kaijin, her sword at ready to avenge her Master, the former king attempting to slash at him, a resounding clang ringing out as both of their swords collided with one another.
Momentarily taken aback by her opponent's strength, Saber gritted her teeth as she poured every last ounce of her strength behind her sword as she tried to overpower the red skinned creature before her only for him to hold strong against her attempt.
"Is this really all you've got, you stupid monkeys are pathetic." The red Kaijin said, clearly unimpressed by Saber's attempt to slash at him. "If this is really all you've got, stop wasting my time and just let me kill you already."
To Saber's surprise her opponent grabbed a hold of the blade of her sword and, to everyone's surprise, managed to pull it free from her grip, and delivered a vicious kick to her midsection and sending her flying before she crashed into the side of a nearby tree.
No sooner had Saber been dispatched the sound of hurried footsteps was heard and looking round the red Overlord was met by the sight of Baron who was charging towards him, with a cry the red, silver and yellow Rider thrust his spear at the Kaijin who effortlessly batted it away before slicing at him with his sword.
Seeing this Baron dropped to the ground and rolled out the way to avoid the Overlord's attempt to cut him down, thrust his lance at his opponent as he rose only for the red Overlord to suddenly vanish from sight before reappearing moments later a short distance behind Baron.
"You're becoming a pain to deal with, ape." He said as he reached down and picked Saber's sword up from off of the ground. "Just die already." He then tossed the weapon at Baron, the blade lashing him across the shoulder.
No sooner had Baron been taken care of or a streak of red shot past the red and black Overlord as Archer appeared before him, the white haired Servant lashing out at his opponent with one of his swords, reacting quickly the Overlord leaned out of the way of Archer's attempted to slash at him before blocking the Servant's other sword with his own. As the two of them continued to trade blades the Kajin's eyes gave off a sudden glow, nearby several long leaf covered vines suddenly rustled before they suddenly launched themselves towards Archer.
Archer ducked and weaved out of the way of each of the vines, slicing at them as they passed by, each one trying to grab a hold of him.
This however provided the Overlord with just the opening it needed, vanishing and reappearing before Archer, bringing its sword down in a vertical slash at him, Archer barely having enough time to raise his twin blades in an attempt to block, both sets of weapons colliding with one another.
The Overlord pressing his weight against Archer, fractures beginning to appear along the blades of Kansho and Byakuya before they suddenly shattered like glass, the red Overlord pulled back slightly before thrusting his weapon forward, Archer's eyes widened slightly and he gritted his teeth as his opponent drove his sword through the tanned skinned Servant's gut, a spurt of blood erupting from the Servant of the Bow's body.
"Oh, what's this?" The red Overlord said as he watched as Archer struggled back to his feet. "You seem to be more durable than all the other human's that have wandered in here."
Archer didn't say anything, choosing instead to merely glare back at the Kaijin who suddenly began laughing. "Could it be that one of you apes might actually be worth my time." He said. "I do hope so, I barely had to try all the others when I crushed all the others. You better not disappoint me human."
All the while Rin and Illya watched the battle play out from their hiding spot, both of them watching in stunned silence at just how powerful the opponent that their companions were going up against was.
"D…damn…" Rin muttered, finding her voice as she stared wide eyed and a dumbfounded look in her face as both she and Illya watched as the two Riders and two Servants were being decimated by this Overlord.
As much as she hated to admit it there was nothing that she could have done against an opponent like this.
While she didn't say anything Illya couldn't bring herself to argue with the Tohsaka heiress. Despite having been informed of the Overlords existence she found been ill prepared to witness one in person.
She'd believed her Servant Berserker, the famed Greek hero Hercules, was the strongest being that she'd ever met. However, witnessing Gaim and his group, four individuals who hours ago had fought against and forced the legendary King Gilgamesh into retreat, being utterly decimated by the red and black Kaijin, she found herself reevaluating that belief.
It was then the sound of chuckling was heard, the sound bringing a sudden halt to the fighting as the combatants looked over in the direction it had come from and in doing so they were met by the sight of a second Overlord, finding it standing above the entrance to the cavern.
This one that was of a more slender build than the one Gaim, Baron and the two Servants had engaged, this one sporting green armored skin, its body sporting gold etching, their head adorned by a golden crown and sporting a pair of red eyes, holding in one of its hands a long staff with an ornate looking axe blade attached to it.
"Another one?" Rin exclaimed. "This is bad, Kaitou and the others could barely handle one of these things, now they have two of them to deal with."
The red skinned Overlord glared at the new arrival. "Redyue…" He growled, clearly not thrilled about the green skinned Overlord's arrival "Why are you here, I don't need your help."
The aforementioned Redyue let out another chuckle, something that only seemed to anger their compatriot further, before she suddenly leapt down off of the ledge and landed unharmed on the ground below and began making her way towards him.
"Now now, no need for that. I was merely curious as to whom our guests are Dēmushu?" The newly arrived Overlord said, their voice sounding somewhat female despite her distorted tone, pointing her staff-like weapon in the direction of Gaim, Baron and the two Servants, all of whom were struggling back to their feet. "Are these ones giving you trouble, wouldk like my assistance in dealing with them?"
"You bastards," Baron growled as he rose up, pulling out his Mango Lockseed and popping the lock on it before detached his Banana Lockseed and attached the new one in its place. "I'm…I'm not going to lose, not to you, not to anyone…"
MANGO! LOCK ON…
"Damn, these guys," Gaim groaned, his aching as he did so. "They're strong, stronger than Ryouma let on…" As he said this, he produced his Cherry Energy Lockseed, popped the lock on it before attaching it to his Driver and closed up his Orange Lockseed.
CHERRY ENERGY! LOCK ON…
The orange themed armor closed itself up before detaching itself from Gaim's shoulders, rising up to meet the Cherry armor where they combined together before dropping down onto Gaim where it unfolded itself into its armored form, a Sonic Arrow appearing in his hand.
SOIYA! MIX! ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI, ON SUTĒJI! JIMBER CHERRY! HA-HA!
Similarly a zipper like portal opened up above Baron, a red folded up egg shaped object emerging from it which descended towards him, the Banana armor vanishing, and settled itself onto his shoulders where it unfolded itself into red armor with orange segmented pieces attached as well as shoulder pads and a cape. In addition his Mango Punisher, a large mace-like weapon that had sharpened panels protruding from it, appeared in his hands.
COME ON! MANGO ARMS! FIGHT OF HAMMER!
Now clad in their new armor and their new weapons in hand Gaim and Baron charged forward the pair of Overlords, a low growl escaping from Dēmushu before he too charged to meet them while Redyue let out what sounded like an amused chuckle before following after Dēmushu, her spear/axe held out at her side as he moved.
Within moments both Gaim and Baron were locked in combat with the two Overlords, Gaim facing off against Redyue, sidestepping out of the way as she attempted to slash at him with a swing of her spear/axe before responding as he sliced at her with his Sonic Arrow only for her to lean out of the way of his attempt before blocking his bladed bow with the shaft of her own weapon.
"Interesting, you're not like the other one. You're not as hot headed or aggressive." She told the Orange Samurai Rider, her piercing red eyes staring into the dark orange segmented lenses of Gaim's Kabuto helmet. "Regardless you're efforts are fruitless, you could never hope to best me."
A low sounding growl escaped Gaim as he retracted his Sonic Arrow before he unleashed a series of slashes at Redyue who laughed in response to his efforts as she effortlessly side stepped out of each of his attempts to slash her.
"All the same please keep trying." She said, sounding highly amused. "Watching my prey struggle fruitlessly amuses me greatly."
Meanwhile Baron was busy dealing with Dēmushu, the Knight grunting heavily each time he swung his heavy mace-like club at his opponent who merely avoided or blocked each of his attempts.
Frustration boiling over, Dēmushu swung his sword at Baron who attempted to block it with his mace only to find himself being pushed back a short distance.
"You…you're so damn annoying."Dēmushu demanded as he pressed his full weight behind his sword, "Coming here again and again to challenge us, each time limping off with your tail between your legs. Are all humans your as stupid as you are, or are you just a special kind of stupid?"
Before Baron could respond the sound of hurried footsteps was heard and glancing over Dēmushu was met by the sight of Saber charging towards him, the blond haired swordswoman blade raised before she delivered a powerful at him, forcing the Overlord to disengage from Baron before he suddenly vanish from view and reappear a short distance away from the pair.
"Annoying pest…"The red Overlord snarled as he glared at Saber. "You piss me off as much as that does."
"Save your words monster," Saber retorted. "I do not understand your words but your actions speak clearly, they tell me that you're nothing more than a rabid animal in need of putting down. If I must, I shall accept the responsibility of doing so."
Saber then glanced over to Baron, seeing the knightly Beat Rider panting as he recovered. "Sir Kaito, are you alright?" She inquired.
"I'm fine." Baron retorted, readying his Mango Punisher as he prepared to re-engage his opponent. "I don't need your help."
"Don't be foolish, it's quite obvious that none of us is capable of taking on one of these creatures alone." Saber said strictly. "The only hope of defeating this foe is if we assist one another."
"Tsk, whatever." Baron scoffed before he then charged forward, his Mango Punisher at the ready. "Just try not to get in my way."
Despite herself Saber couldn't keep the frown she wore from deepening slightly before both of them moving in to engage Dēmushu once more.
Meanwhile Gaim had his hands full with Redyue, the predominantly green Overlord easily able to either block or dodge out of the way each time he tried to slash or fire a shot at her.
" Come now human, you need to do better than that."Redyue chuckled as she twisted out of the way of another of Gaim's attempts to slash her. "You really think that you can claim the prize if this is the best that you can do?"
All of a sudden Redyue's eyes suddenly flashed and before Gaim could begin to question what this could mean a rustling noise caught his attention. Glancing around him the Samurai Beat Rider saw dozens of leafy vines creeping towards him.
Muttering a curse, Gaim swung his Sonic Arrow, slicing at the vines as they shot towards him, cutting them down before they could wrap themselves around him. Try as he might, however he wasn't able to stop all of them and one of them managed to snare him, wrapping itself around his neck which in turn allowed four more to latch onto him, wrap themselves around each of his limbs.
"Is that all you have, how disappointing." Redyue said as she began approaching the bound Rider, grabbing his Sonic Arrow and pulling it free from Gaim's grip before tossing it aside. "I suppose it was too much to expect much from your pitiful species."
Letting out a chuckle, the green Overlord then took a few steps backwards, twirling her spear before grasping it in both of her hands and pointing the bladed tip in Gaim's direction.
"Still, for getting this far and showing me just how easy it will be to exterminate your kind I'll grant you a quick death." She told the bound Rider as he struggled to free himself, before she raised it above her head. "Farewell human…"
Just as seemed as she was about to bring her weapon down a buzzing noise caught both Redyue and Gaim's attention when several pairs of what looked to be dusks spinning at high speed appeared from out of seemingly nowhere, severing the vines that bound Gaim before launching themselves towards Redyue.
"Wha…what the …" Redyue exclaimed in her native tongue as she used her spear to deflect the incoming disks, swatting each of them out of the air before they could reach her.
No sooner had she dispatched the last one Archer suddenly appeared before her in a blur of red, catching the green Overlord by surprise, with one of his swords the Servant of the Bow slashed at Redyue who let out a grunt of pain as the blade cut into her side and a spurt of blood erupted from her wound.
"A…Archer…" Gaim stammered, as he stared at Archer's back, surprised that he'd come to his aid.
"On your feet Emiya Shirou, this fight is far from over." The tanned skinned man told him, never taking his eyes off of his opponent. "You said that our only way out of this forest is by defeating them, if so get back on your feet and fight. Or do you intend to simply stay down and die?"
Hearing Archer say this, Gaim felt a momentary flash of frustration pass through him, a growl escaping from him as he reached over to grab his Sonic Arrow before getting back to his feet.
"Bastard, I'll show you…" He muttered to himself. "I'm not done yet."
Meanwhile Redyue was fixing Archer with a hateful glare, her hand pressed up against the wound that she'd received from him. "Vla aei…" She growled as the wound in her side regenerated.
All of a sudden her eyes once again glowed red before all of a sudden a painfully loud noise filled the air accompanied by a powerful shockwave, a sound so loud both Gaim and Archer as well as both Baron and Saber ceased their hostilities as they were forced to clap their hands to their heads as they futility tried to block out the nest deafening noise.
Try as they might, the quartet were also unable to resist the powerful wave of force that Redyue had unleashed along with her sonic attack and quickly Gaim, Saber, Archer and Baron were thrown to the ground, still unsuccessfully trying to block out the noise, both Armored Riders also bring knocked out of their transformations.
"Annoying pests," Redyue said as she picked herself up off the ground, still glaring at Gaim and his companions. "I no longer find you amusing."
"Heh, resorting to underhanded tricks as usual Redyue, how like you." Dēmushu commented as he approached. "If cannot trust your own strength to deal with these apes then stand aside, I will crush them with no problem."
Hearing this type green Overlord turned her glare upon her companion, fixing him with a steely gaze. "Tsk, typical Dēmushu," She retorted, "Relying on nothing but mere strength to get the job done. You truly are a brute."
"What was that?" Dēmushu shot back. "Are you mocking me?"
"What is going on out there?"An unfamiliar voice was heard, the sound of it seeming to resonate from the very forest itself. "Dēmushu, Redyue, for what reason are you unable to repel a group of intruders?
All of a sudden movement could be seen from within the nearby cavern and from it emerged another Overlord, this one being more humanoid in appearance than its two companions, his body was mostly white, blue, and gray while donned an unusual cloak with spikes appearing on both sides of his neck. In one hand he wielded a large glaive like weapon, a massive and somewhat worn looking zanbato style blade attached to a shaft.
"H…huh…?" Shirou grunted as he attempted to pick himself back up off the ground. "There's another one we have to deal with?"
"Damnit," Archer grimaced as he picked himself up off of the ground, staring at the new arrival as he did so. "This one…we could barely handle the other two as it was, the white one, something tells that he's stronger than they are combined."
"Roshuo…" Redyue muttered as the white skinned Overlord approached them, the white skinned Kaijin turning their attention turning to both Riders as well as Saber and Archer. "The humans, they have come again."
"More of you." The Overlord king seemed to sigh. "Time and time again you come into our forest. Why can't you simply leave us in peace?"
"We can't just allow this to go unpunished. Bad enough that they come in to our forest but now they're at our door." Dēmushu insisted, gesturing towards the pair of Servants and Armored Riders with his sword. "Forget what the snake said, we should just kill them all and be done with them."
Roshou however shook his head. "No, such a thing would be pointless, we have seen just how destructive these humans are." He told the red skinned Kaijin. "Given time they will simply destroy themselves."
A scowl on his face, Kaitou grabbed his Sengoku Driver and detached it from around his waist, at the same time producing his Genesis Driver attached it in its place. His new Driver attached, he then pulled out his Lemon Energy Lockseed, popped the lock and attached it to the Driver.
LEMON ENERGY! LOCK ON…
Noticing this, Shirou let out a low groan as he produced his Kachidoki Lockseed and popped the lock in it and attached it to his Sengoku Driver. This was bad, Ryouma had really undersold just how strong these Overlords truly were.
KACHIDOKI! LOCK ON…
Once again a pair of zipper like openings appeared above both boys Armored Riders, from both of them a folded up armored form that resembled the fruit that they were based upon emerged.
"Henshin…"/"Henshin…" The two of them declared, activating their respective Lockseeds, their Rider Suits reappearing in their bodies as the folded up armors descended towards them, their previously used armor vanishing into a shower of glowing particles, before settling on to their shoulders where they unfurled themselves into the strongest forms both Baron and Gaim had access to along with the weapons both forms came with, the Sonic Arrow and Hinawadaidai-DJ-Ju respectively.
SODA! LEMON ENERGY ARMS! FIGHT THE POWER! FIGHT THE POWER! FIGHT, FIGHT, FI…FI…FI…FI…FIGHT!
SOYIA! KACHIDOKI ARMS! IZA, SHUTSUJIN, EI, EI, OH!
"See, these intruders wish to continue their intrusion on our home. Perhaps my lord, you should give these humans a require demonstration of your power." Redyue said to her leader, indicating towards both Gaim and Baron. "Maybe witnessing after it they'll finally think twice before intruding in our home any further.
Roshou sighed wearily. "Very well then." He said, "If that's what it will take…"
The white Overlord then took a few steps forward towards Gaim and his party before pointing his large weapon in their direction.
"I have allowed you humans have intruded on our home for far too long now, as king it seems that I must take personal responsibility to send you packing." He told them, his voice carrying an air of authority. "Just know that i take no pleasure in doing this but neither will I morn you if you fall here."
Behind his helmet, Baron glared at the white Overlord that stood before him. "This guy, He must be the one that's got Earth's Golden Fruit…" Baron said to himself as he pointed his bow like weapon at the Overlord King, "That power, it will be mine…"
Pulling back the Nocking Drawer the former Team Baron fired off several energy arrows at Roshou who utilized his large sword to deflect each of Baron's shots.
Undeterred the red and yellow Armored Rider then moved into engage the white Kaijin who once more used his larger weapon to fend off his attempts to slash at him, for a moment both of them had their weapons locked when Roshou threw all of his weight behind his Joeshuimu, effortlessly knocking Baron to the side and send him sprawling to the ground.
"Kaitou…" Gaim exclaimed as he saw Roshou standing over Barin's fallen form, "Damnit…"
Raising his Hinawadaidai-DJ-Ju, Gaim preseed his fingers to the DJ Table and scratched it a few times before twisting the DJ Pitch, horagai music emanating from it, and tuned it to its lowest setting, before pointing the gun at Roshou and pulled the trigger, firing several high powered cannon shots at the white Overlord.
Glancing towards the incoming shots, and in doing so turning his attention away from Baron allowing for him to roll out of the way, Roshou suddenly vanished from view, much like Dēmushu had done, only to reappear moments later in front of the orange Samurai Rider before he could even react when the Overlord King swung his Joeshuimu at him.
Moments later the clang of metal striking metal rang out, to Gaim's surprise he found Saber standing before him, her held out before her as she attempted to block Roshou's weapon with her own.
"Shirou, don't let your focus waver." The blond haired woman told him, "As you said, this is one enemy that we cannot underestimate."
"Saber…" Gaim muttered. Despite the determined look on the former King's face he'd heard a slight strain to her voice, which could only mean that Saber was struggling to hold back the Overlord's much larger blade.
This was bad. According to Tohsaka, Heroic Spirits were incarnations of individuals that were typically summoned at the peak of their legend, their strengths and abilities bolstered further by the Holy Grail. The Saber standing before her was in her prime and even she was struggling against the opponent that stood before her.
Across from her, Roshou muttered something inaudible before he pulled back his Joeshuimu, before either Gaim or Saber could react all of a sudden both Master and Servant were launched off of their feet and knocked backwards by a powerful telekinetic shove that knocked them back a fair distance before they were able to catch themselves.
"Saber, are you alright?" Gaim inquired of the blond haired Servant.
"Do not concern yourself, I am fine." Saber assured him. "Shirou, do not hold back, defeating this opponent will require everything that we have."
"Yeah, right…" Gaim replied before grabbing his Musou Saber from off of his side and inserted the blade inside the barrel of the Hinawadaidai-DJ-Ju, converting the weapon into its Taiken Mode.
His weapon in its new configuration both he and Saber then rushed towards the Overlord King, both Master and Servant delivering a powerful slash with their respective blades, only for both of their swords to pass through him as if he were made of air.
"Wha…what the?" Gaim exclaimed, shocked at having witnessed his sword pass through the Kaijin in front of him, and even Saber looked to be caught off guard by this.
Seeing both of their confused states, Roshou swung his own blade at the pair, the mere force behind his swing being enough to knock both Gaim and Saber backwards and send them sprawling across the forest floor.
Whilst Roshou was seemingly busy dealing with Gaim and Saber Baron had gotten back up to his feet, cursing to himself under his breath he quickly moved in to once again engage the white Overlord, slashing at him with his Sonic Arrow, only Roshou proved to be more agile than his bulky frame implied, easily side stepping out of Baron's attempt to slash at him. He then reached out and seized the Knightly Rider by the arm before easily tossing him aside.
No sooner had Roshou dispatched Baron a faint sound from behind caught his attention, glancing over he was met by the sight of Archer mere inches away from him, the tanned skinned Servant slashing at him with Kanshou, the white Overlord twisting his body out of the way to avoid the Bowman's first swing before raising his Joeshuimu to block Archer's follow up attempt.
For a few moments both Roshou and Archer stared at one another before all of a sudden the Servant of the Bow suddenly vanished in a swirl of blue particles accompanied by the faint sound of chimes.
Taken aback momentarily by this the sound of chimes from nearby caught Roshou's ears, turning his head in the direction of the clearing's edge he caught sight of Archer standing there.
Upon being discovered the white haired Servant muttered something, both of his swords vanished and in their place in a swirl of shimmering energy a large black bow appeared while in the other a sword with a twisted drill like blade appeared in the other which he knocked into his bow as if it were an arrow.
Pulling back the string the sword began to change shape, the hilt vanishing and the handle merging with the blade as it elongated and taking on the appearance of an arrow with a twisted head, and released, the projectile slicing through the air at unimaginable speeds.
At the same time that Archer had been engaging Roshou, Baron had picked himself up off of the ground and grabbed the Seaboll Compressor of his Genesis Driver and pushed on it, drawing power from his Lemon Energy Lockseed.
LEMON ENERGY SQUASH!
The blades of his weapon began to glow with a bright yellow energy and, letting out a cry, he unleashed a mighty swing that launched a wave of glowing energy at the Overlord King who barely seemed to register the twin attacks that were being launched towards him.
In a single fluid motion the Overlord King swung his large weapon around, slicing through the energy wave that Baron had launched at him before turning to face the incoming arrow fired at him by Archer, raising his sword as he did so before bringing it down, slicing it the arrow out of the air before it could reach him.
All of a sudden the blade of Roshou's Joeshuimu began to crackle with energy which he then plunges into the ground, sending a blast of electrical energy at all four of his opponents knocking all of them backwards and before they were sent tumbling to the ground.
"Is that all you have, how disappointing." Roshou said, disappointment evident in his tone as he watched as Gajm snd the others struggled back to their feet. "Not one amongst you is worthy of the fruits power. At this rate you and your kind will simply be swallowed up by the forest."
All of a sudden, dozens of small zipper-like cracks appeared and opened around him, from the opening long leaf covered vines emerged and launched themselves towards the small party who tried to fight them off only to be entangled by them.
All with the exception of Saber who narrowly managed to avoid them, looking back the blond Servant could only watch as Gaim, Baron and Archer were raised into the air before being hurled towards the trees that surrounded the area, slamming them into it before they were dropped onto the ground below.
Having avoided her opponents attempt to ensnare her, Saber charged at Roshuo, gripping her sword she swung it at the white skinned who didn't even flinch as he was quick to use his own large sword/glaive to block her attempt. She tried again and once more Roshuo parried her attempt.
Roshou took the offensive, swinging his much larger weapon at Saber, once again their swords collided, to Saber's surprise the force behind his swing was enough to force her backwards a short distance across the stony surface before she managed to catch herself.
Their weapons locked together, Saber looked up to meet the gaze of the Overlord who loomed over her, doing so she could just make out Roushou's eyes from beneath the brim of his hood, what she saw there truly shocked her. Instead of anger or aggression instead she saw sadness.
"What is this, that look in your eyes …" She heard him say, "I see, I can see in them that you too have lost everything."
For a moment Saber was taken aback, while she didn't understand his words somehow she understood his meaning.
Noticing the stunned look on his opponents face Roshuo unleashed more of his incredible power, creating a powerful telekinetic blast that knocked Saber off of her feet and sent her flying backwards before she was sent sprawling to the ground.
"This is bad. that guy, he's just so strong," Gaim muttered to himself. "Just how are we supposed to beat him?"
"Emiya," hearing his name, Gaim turned his head to ser Rin staring back at him.
"Emiya, order Saber to use her Noble Phantasm." Rin called out to Gaim.
"H…huh!" Gaim exclaimed. "Tohsaka, are you serious?"
"Just do it, these creatures are too much for us and we've run out of options." Rin retorted. "This might be our only chance to defeat them."
"I concur Shirou, do it." Saber added as she struggled back to her feet. "Give me the order, we don't appear to have any other option."
"Alright." Gaim said, holding up his left fist, all of a sudden the glowing image of the red stigmata could be seen through his armor. "Saber, as your Master and by my Command Seal, I order you to unleash your Noble Phantasm…"
"As your Servant I acknowledge your command Shirou, my Master." The air that encompassed her sword vanished, revealing a simple yet elegant looking sword, its cross guard blue with gold etching engraved into it.
A bright golden light emanated from her now revealed blade, illuminating the area in a bright golden light as the former King of England raised her sword above her head.
"EX…" Saber cried out as she brought her sword down, cleaving the air with a horizontal slash, "...CALIBUUUUUR!"
Seemingly unphased by the incoming beam of golden energy, Roshou stood his ground and raised his free hand, for a moment a vaguely circular glowing orb appeared before it expanded outwards, forming a semi translucent barrier which moments later the glowing holy energy beam unleashed by Saber collided with, the collision resulting in an almost brilliant burst of light that forced just about everyone to shield their eyes in an effort not to be blinded.
For what seemed like an eternity the holy energy unleashed by the former King seemed to be held in place the barrier erected by Roshou, as if neither were able to overpower the other, that was until all of a sudden the golden energy from Saber's Noble Phantasm contacting smaller and smaller into a tiny glowing orb resting in the palm of the white skinned Overlord's hand closing his fingers around it for a brief moment before opening them again, the holy energy dissipating into tiny glowing particles that quickly faded away.
Gaim, Baron, Archer, Rin, Illya and Saber could only stare in disbelief, seemingly unable to process what they had just witnessed.
"No…no way…" Gaim stammered, "That Overlord, it blocked Saber's Noble Phantasm? Just how strong is this guy?"
"I…I…impossible…" Rin exclaimed. "That was an Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm and that Overlord, it blocked it like it was nothing. These Overlords, they're on a whole other level, they might even surpass Servants."
Wordlessly Roushou extended his hand once more, a wisp of glow energy appearing in his palm that took the form of a glowing object that looked like an apple.
"That…is that…?" Gaim exclaimed as he gazed upon the item that hovered just above Roshou's hand, he and the others looking upon it with both surprise and awe.
"The power of the Golden Fruit…" Illya muttered, "Power that surpasses the Holy Grail, the power of a God…"
Just as it looked as if Dēmushu and Redyue were about to move to re-engage them, Roshuo raised his hand and shook his head, the two of them quickly backing down.
"This fruit, I shall not let any of you have it." Roshuo told them, dismissing the glowing fruit. "Your kind is foolish, seeking something that will only bring about your own destruction. Just as we did."
The Overlord King turned his attention back to the party of six, with a wave of his hand a zipper-like portal appeared behind them, one that had a powerful vacuum-like effect that began trying to suck them in.
"There is nothing for you here." Roshuo told them. "Go, return to your own world, make the most of the time you have left and leave us alone."
The six of them sucked up off their feet and through the opening which quickly sealed itself once they were all through.
AN So yeah, bet you weren't expecting a double upload even if this one is pretty much the same as the previous chapter, minus the conversation at the beginning, with the Femushinmu translated into English for anyone who was wondering what Roshou and the others were talking about.
Since there's not much more to discuss guess I we can talk Toku.
In Boonboomger the show's been slowly building its world with first few episodes focusing primarily on Taiya, Ishiro and Mira being a three man team dealing the Hashiriyan's in their efforts to gather Gyasoline while introducing us to Jou and Genta and having them mostly be background characters before they join the team much like Gunpei and Hanto before they became Go-On Black and Go-On Green respectively.
In the most recent episode Jou just joined the team and will become Boonblack for the first time in the next episode, based in this I gotta imagine that Genba will becoming Boonorange isn't too far off now, especially since he's already got his own Changer on him, I gotta imagine that all five members will have been assembled before episode 10.
Speaking of this teams Changers, Black and Orange have a different stye of Changer instead using the same one as Red, Blue and Pink only adds to the overall Go-Onger vibe the show's got going for it. I guess we'll see if the sixth Boonboomger gets their own Changer like the Go-On Wings did whenever they shows up.
Meanwhile on Gotchard quite a bits happened since the last chapter.
So yeah Greyon's big plan ended up being kinda nothing in the end, wanting to encase the entire world and everything in gold, something I guess it fits the show's alchemy theming even if his plan is Uchiha Madara levels of stupid wanting to be the only living thing in a dead world. Still thanks to him we've been introduced to what will most likely be the shows real big bad, that being whatever it is that's on the other side of the Door of Darkness that snatched him away.
That being said something that caught my attention was that Greyon mentioned Eldorado before he was snatched away, I'm curious whether if that's what on the other side of the Door of Darkness or whether if its in reference to to his wish to encase everything in gold since Eldorado was the legendary city of gold.
On the other hand this story did result in the first appearance of Gotchard's midseason form, Platinum Gotchard. I dunno maybe its me but I kinda liked that it was built to it as its the result of Hotarou's faith in the Chemy's rather than just kinda appearing out of seemingly nowhere when compared to a lot of other Rider forms. Also Platinum Gotchard can utilise the different Chemy Cards kind of interesting since that's the kind of ability that's usually reserved for a Rider's final form.
Oh and new stuff for Legend has been shown up recently all but confirming that he'll be coming back at some point, to what capacity he'll be involved going forward, whether he'll be part if the show going forward or more side content or could possibly be involved in Gotchards up coming movie, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Anywho I think that this is a good place to wrap things up. Happy Easter everyone and see you all for the next chapter.
Till next time, peace out y'all.
