Fate 36
Previously on Canon Distortion…
Makoto Nanaya continued her duel against the Imperator Izanami. While the former Imperator's ability to stop time did pose a threat against the woman, Makoto was able to eventually devise a method of countering against the technique using her connection to Balmung. However the strain of applying such a technique and the duration of the fight threatens to end her life if Caroline is unable to find a way to ensure that Makoto is safely brought back before the fire of her light is extinguished… that is until Makoto moved in stopped
And now, the continuation of Canon Distortion
Sora was taking deep breathes in the Yabiko NOL's small garden. Despite it's size, it had a wide variety of plants and flowers that were about to bloom, most notably the tree in the middle that was currently bare, the weather ars magus helping to simulate the effects winter would have on it. In spring, it would blossom into the wonderful tree that it could be and daze people with it's splendor. But for now, as if reflecting the current mental state Sora had, it was simply a skeleton waiting for it's leaves to return.
Sora himself was waiting for something, anything about Makoto from Caroline. Other than the news that she had been fighting the imperator, there was nothing more. There was not even a glimpse of a location where she might be that Sora could hopefully try to get to. He felt helpless and he hated the feeling it was giving him at that moment, all to familiar with it but never wanting to become used to it.
There had to be something, something he could do while he waited with bated breath for the results that Caroline was going to give him. Deciding that standing around was doing him no favors, he sat down on the park bench and closed his eyes. Ever since this whole mess started in Kagutsuchi he has felt like he has barely had the time to sit down in nature like this and try to empty his mind. All of this stuff with Timelines, Continuum Errors and Balmung has made his mind constantly race with thoughts. Even when he did have the time to take a break, he felt those same thoughts creep up every once in a while to disrupt whatever peace he could have had.
'Calm yourself Sora… Makoto can handle herself. She has the same power as you do now…' As soon as Sora had that thought rush through his mind. His eyes couldn't help but immediately widen as he had leaned his back quite a bit before falling off the bench in surprise. Tumbling and emerging out of a bush, Sora immediately jumped back on the park bench and began to rub his forehead several times, why didn't he think about this before.
Nox Nyctoreses are supposed to have a connection with their users and with that connection, they are able to communicate with them and in some cases, take over them if needed. This was the case with Draco and Hunter and that was almost a full body takeover. Closing his eyes, he wondered if he could do the same thing. In the case of Draco, he is always close with Hunter and thus, he was able to see things from Hunter's POV. Can Sora do the same thing despite being a human being in this case?
"Don't waste time thinking about things Sora. You need to act now or Makoto's going to die." Sora said to himself, realizing that hesitation will simply get Makoto killed in this case as he closed his eyes and began to focus. As he did, he could feel his forehead begin to sweat as he could feel what felt like his consciousness begin to slowly pull away from his body, as if he was having an out of body experience.
As soon as he felt that sensation hit him, he immediately felt his breath get taken away as he panted a few times. He instinctively held his Rev Arm as he could feel the arm underneath pulse greatly. Pulling it out, he was able to see the various vein like pulses his black arm now had on it, making Sora sweat even more. Was trying to connect Makoto the same way Draco did not viable due to the distance? Or is it because he is still thinking like a human being that prevents him from doing what Draco did.
Before he could think any further, he felt a small beep on his ear, telling him that Caroline had something for him. "T-Talk to me." Sora said, not bothering to hide the exhaustion of his breath as Caroline did not bother thinking to ask her boss about his lack of breath. "I got only bad news. I managed to find Makoto… and she's fighting the Imperator right now." Caroline explained as Sora did not know whether to feel either relief in knowing Makoto was found or panic because the Imperator was the one who was most likely her opponent.
"Can you force a teleport to get her out of there? Either to me or Makoto?" Sora questioned, wondering if that was possible. "I tried to and I even got the shitty professor to help me. Unfortunately, no matter what I try to do even with her help, I am unable to maintain any kind of teleportation coordinates. It's as if their location keeps on changing every few seconds. I even tried to locate with the general area but it seems like that only drops one to the sky."
As soon as Caroline explained the situation to Sora, Sora took a deep breath at that moment. He placed his hands together and pushed them on his forehead. "Is there anything else we can do for Makoto right now? Can she communicate with… No. I guess she will not be able to talk to us at the moment." Sora said, finishing his thoughts as Caroline sighed. "I'm truly sorry boss. I tried everything on my end. It looks like she is on her own for the time being." Caroline said as Sora shook his head.
"Don't say that Caroline. You being able to do anything on your end means a whole lot to me than having no options at all. Don't worry about me and Makoto for now. Just keep an eye on the situation and make sure things don't deteriorate any further." Sora said, Caroline able to sense the tension hidden in his voice as she could tell that her boss was truly worried. "I know I don't really have a place to say this… but don't overwork yourself boss. You still need to be alive when Makoto gets out of her situation." Caroline said, trying to hope that he words could be some reassurance for him.
"… Thanks for trying Caroline." Sora said, letting Caroline know that while her attempt at reassurance failed, he was still appreciative of the attempt as he hung the call at that moment to allow Caroline some time to process what he had just said. While she was doing that, Sora knew it was time for him to start working on his own problem as he closed his eyes and doubled down on his focus. He knew and wished to remain human but also knew that if he couldn't find a way to use his link as Makoto's Nox Nyctores to reach her, she is most likely going to die without any kind of backup.
'… Even if it means throwing my humanity for but a brief moment to help her. I will do this.' Sora thought as he closed his eyes and focused even harder. The vein like sigils once again emerged out of Sora's black arm as he slowly opened his normally white eye. Instead of white, it was now beginning to glow a gentle greenish blue before shifting towards orange as Sora finally managed to catch a glimpse of what was happening to Makoto at that moment.
SORA POV
It felt like I was looking through the view of a camera. I was right behind Makoto as I tried to reach an arm out towards her but nothing happened. It was as if I was only capable of seeing what she was seeing but nothing more. I tried to call out to her but my own voice was gone, preventing me from doing so. It felt like all methods of communication were impossible for me with Makoto but that was not the pressing part.
For some reason, the color that had been around the world had been sucked dry. Was this an effect of an ars magus Makoto was under? Makoto herself was weird, standing perfectly still. I tried to "move" the camera so that I could get a glimpse of her face but it felt like I was permanently fixed to her backside. Suddenly, the camera shakes violently as I could feel a sense of motion sickness hit me at that very moment.
Calming myself from "puking" my guts out, I was able to see that several astral Black Beast heads had managed to emerge and protect Makoto from further damage from a giant skeleton of a tyrannosaurus rex. Giant skeleton aside, I couldn't believe what my eyes were looking at as I realize that Makoto right now was currently fighting in stopped time as time soon resumed, letting me catch a glimpse of her panting heavily while also clutching her prosthetic arm.
"What's the matter? That all you got?" Makoto taunted as I could see the fatigue that was building up on her. 'That said… I don't know how much longer I can keep up, even with my new trick.' Makoto thought as I could hear her thoughts echo in my mind. As soon as that thought was finished, the world's color once again was drained and Makoto stood still in front of me again. No way… this cannot be. Is this some sort of time stopping ability?!
Fuck this is bad, this is very bad. Any kind of ability involving time is bad enough but stopping time? That's got to be one of the worst to try and deal with at this very moment. Fuck this forced camera view I got to find a way to increase my vision. Focusing even further, I could feel what felt like "sweat" begin to drip down my forehead as soon I was able to free myself from the forced view I had and now could see properly where I was.
I couldn't help but feel my jaw drop as when I looked down to see any familiar features of Hierarchical cities I could have been on, I just saw dark black clouds greet me, telling me that I am currently standing on top of the god damn sky right now. If that wasn't bad enough, facing my head forward, I could see what looked to be a gigantic machine capable of self flight in the skies. Is this...is this the source of the blue big ball in the sky currently? It's heart?
Fuck! I cannot get distracted right now! I got to figure out something I can give Caroline, a tangible static piece that would allow her to see what is going on! I then heard the sounds of a crunch and a crack as I looked back and saw Makoto managing to move in stopped time much to my shock. Her teeth were gritted in pain as she managed to force the Imperator back before she could unleash another attack as the world's color returned, but as she did so, she immediately collapsed to the ground, bleeding profusely as I could feel what felt like a much faster heart rate beat on my chest. Is this… Makoto's heart right now?
'Fuck… Using Balmung's fate ability to override the stopped time is too much for me to take.' Makoto's thoughts rushed to my head as I couldn't help but feel my face become pale. Makoto's using Balmung's ability to change fate by switching herself from a timeline that was stopped by time to one where she was still moving. While this is normal for Balmung use cases, the amount of physical and mental strain she must be going through must feel like hot agony for her.
There has to be something I can do for her. If this keeps up, she won't be able to last much longer! I have to try and figure out a way for me to get where she is at now. Taking a couple of deep breaths, I begin to try and focus myself on her current location, hoping that by some miracle I could force myself to teleport to her current location. But no matter how much I close my eyes and wait for something to happen, nothing actually happens. This makes the feeling in my stomach grow worse as I now knew that there was no kind of teleportation I could force as a Nox Nyctores that would let me get to her soon.
So if teleporting is out, what about relieving the burden? Is it possible for me to take in the damage that she was feeling from using Balmung the way she was? I close my eyes and focus on the nerves of her body. I hoped that I would have some control over what parts of her body would feel pain, isolate those and take them on instead but it appears that even something like that is beyond my capabilities right now.
Fuck, I am already burning through the options I can think through my head. I got a location that I could try and have Caroline send me through but even I do not know what will happen afterwards. If I had something more concrete I wouldn't feel this reluctant but… FUCK! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!?
"S-Sora?!" A voice called out in my mind, I nearly lost focus from my concentration as I quickly realized who was speaking to me. "Is that you Amy!?" I quickly said, making sure that the person speaking to me knew that I could hear their voice. "Oh thank god. I have been trying to reach you for a while now!" Amy said, worry present in her voice. "I can see what is going on from my end, Do you know the exact coordinates of where Makoto is right now?" I questioned, hoping that Amy had managed to get a proper look of the area around her.
"...Sorry. I have not been able to pinpoint an exact hierarchical city that I can give you all. The clouds underneath us hides any chance of spotting a hierarchical city in the first place." Amy replied as I couldn't help but bite my lips upon hearing that statement. I did not know how to feel about such a statement other than pure frustration that every avenue I had to try and help Makoto in this case was being cut off from my very fingertips.
"Is there anything you can do on your end?! Are you really just going to let her die like this!?" Amy shouted, making me bite my lips as I could feel my very hands get tied behind my back. I knew I had to do something for Makoto at that moment but I was not sure how I should even proceed with things. If I cannot directly teleport to her or even help Makoto out by helping relieve the stress Balmung was giving her, what can I even do.
'I cannot give up now… Not when Sora's still counting on me to stay alive.' Makoto's thoughts rang as I immediately turned my head towards Makoto and saw her current state in front of me. I couldn't help but feel my face turn pale seeing how bloody she was becoming. At the rate she was going, she was going to die. 'I will survive through this. I will live!' As soon as I heard her say those thoughts, I couldn't help but slap myself in the face.
What the hell was I doing and thinking?! If Makoto's fighting for her life over here, then I should also be willing to risk my own life, existence be damned. Even if Makoto gets angry with me doing this, I will still do it regardless to make sure that she lives through all of this. "Amy. Whatever happens next, don't say anything until we are out of danger. Please." I said, making my intentions clear as I stood up and took a deep breath, opening my eyes as I looked at the pulsating green-azure veins in my arms.
If I cannot teleport to Makoto via normal means, I will just have to do so in a different and more painful way. Closing my eyes, I tensed my fist as I took a deep breath and began to focus. Every single time I have ever used Balmung, I always saw the future to an extent and intercepted that future. But in those cases, I always went a few seconds ahead and kept the distance of my ability as close as possible to avoid fracturing my bones or worse. But now is not the time for such things, I needed to go further beyond that.
I don't even know if Balmung… I can even do such a thing. But I refuse to sit down and watch helplessly as Makoto fights for her life and dies because I did nothing. I am her boyfriend dammit and I am going to do everything in my god damn power to make sure I get to her. Even if it means tearing away at the very fabrics of the world itself. As I began to focus even further, I feel the air around me begin to heat and cool as a gust of wind struck my face.
I closed my eyes, ignoring the sensations I was experiencing at that moment. Block all of those out, all the unnecessary noise that I am currently experiencing. Numb your senses and focus only on the fate that you wish to grasp. Breathe in and out, let air flow through your lungs as natural as the flow of Seithr that is around me. Look not towards where you can be but where you could have been. Thread through the various needles of fate and find the thread of fate you wish to intercept.
As Sora continued the chant in his mind, having to keep his eyes closed while he did so, his surroundings had begun to drastically change. The hot and cold sensation that he had sensed was in fact the weather control ars magus, now beginning to fluctuate as one side of the garden was experiencing a sweltering heat like the desert, instantly drying and shrivelling the plants in it's way while the other was forming a cooling blizzard, turning the same types of plants and grass into ice itself.
Normally such a sight would alarm people but it seemed that for whatever reason, all of this was being ignored, as if Sora himself was the localized event and everything happening around him was just his doing. Regardless, more changes began to happen as even this simple phenomena of weather fluctuation was beginning to change as what appeared to be various sources of light began to emerge out of Sora's left arm, the same arm that had been long severed and only restored thanks to his connection with his own origin.
Makoto… Makoto is the only person I wish to stand by with and in order for me to do so, I must be by her side. No matter the distance or the situation, I must always be able to reach her. Even if it's just for a moment, a second, I must get there. Even if it means tearing away at the logic that holds this world together, even if it means surrendering everything that I am, I refuse to let her go. If she's willing to sacrifice her own existence just for me…
Then I will do the same for her!
A few minutes before…
'I cannot give up now… Not when Sora's still counting on me to stay alive.' Makoto thought as she wiped the blood that formed on the top of her forehead. She had been bleeding badly ever since she started using Balmung to directly fight against Izanami's time stop manipulation. Her bones were simply aching from abuse, begging her to stop before she does irrepairable damage to herself. But she did not care or it would be more accurate to say she could not heed her own body's warnings as she knew that if she did, she would be killed.
"Oh… Running out of breath I see. Good. This fight has gone on for long enough." Izanami said, cracking her neck as Makoto panted a bit more. "Yeah… It's time we ended things no." Makoto replied, hoping to express that she still had some fight in her voice but she knew that she was approaching her limit. She had hoped that Izanami would have eventually give up on trying to fight her and let her go at this point but the fact that Izanami continued fighting told her that Izanami was not letting up anytime soon.
'…Can't really complain at this point. I just have to keep on pushing…' Before Makoto could even finish that thought, she felt her legs tremble for a bit, alarming her as Izanami chose this time to go after Makoto for the final blow, able to see that Makoto was currently imbalanced at that moment. Makoto herself tried to steel herself for the next attack but it appeared that the combination of Balmung activations and damage she had taken was now catching up to her and she was going to die at any moment as a result.
"Fu…" before Makoto could finish her train of thought, she felt a clawed hand slash her on her chest, cutting her deeply as she flew towards the metal frame of the Amaterasu unit. Coughing out blood, Makoto could see her top had been torn off, exposing her breasts as she did not have any strength left to show any kind of embarrassment. Panting what felt like her last breaths, Makoto could only think of fighting back as she raised her arm up to block the incoming attack.
As she did, she felt time slow down once again. Her superior beastkin senses allowed her to see her arms sluggishly and painfully raise themselves to block the incoming attack, clearly unable to reach in time. Makoto could clearly see that the next attack coming her way was going to be fatal, a pointed thrust Izanami had trained towards Makoto's heart that would cleanly pierce through. 'Is… Is this it?…' Makoto thought as while she tried to reach out, she just felt a sense of exhaustion that prevented her from having the final inch of strength she needed to live.
'I want to live… I have to live… but my strength…' before Makoto could finish her train of thought, she immediately felt a sharp sensation begin to push on her left breast where her heart laid. Makoto looked and saw it was the hand of Izanami slowly bringing death her way. Before Makoto could feel it go any further however she suddenly felt her body move in an unnatural manner, falling back with the thrust to prevent the hand from going any deeper. This was not a move she would have chosen to make on her own but regardless because of it, she had somehow managed to avoid death as her normal hand swiftly reached and applied the instant sealing fire patch on the wound to prevent her from dying from the blood loss the wound would have caused her.
'My body's….moving on it's own?' Makoto thought as she felt herself do a perfect recovery backflip, twirling away from the danger such a hasty move would have caused. Another thing that was becoming obvious to her was her lack of pain as this was happening as she could feel her sensations of pain dull to a point of not existing. She did not know whether to be terrified or relieved that her body acted the way it did. Maybe it's finally developed a sense for survival and can operate on her own or she has become so weak that she had finally been taken over by the master unit itself. She may have been thinking of some crack theories on her own but she knew that her mind was racing with various thoughts.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting Makoto…" A voice echoed in her mind, alarming Makoto as she had thought that her painful delirium really did bring the second option to life. "Let me take over from here. You just get all the rest you need." The disembodied voice echoed, trying to pull itself together as she felt her body stand up and assume a stance that she normally did not take. Izanami herself was alarmed to see the sudden change of demeanor, telling her that what was happening was definitely not normal.
Before Izanami could ask her question, she suddenly felt a blast of Seithr strike her in the face as Makoto suddenly appeared right in front of her face, throwing a punch that she threw when she was not as badly damaged. This alarmed Izanami as she tried to counter by stopping time but before she could even think of doing so, she suddenly felt her solar plexus get smacked by a few knuckles, causing all of the air in her diaphragm to exhale out forcibly as this told her that something was definitely different from Makoto.
Makoto herself was alarmed by how she was fighting. The punch was something she could obviously do but it was that solar plexus strike that alarmed her. She didn't have the knowledge to do such a thing so it must be the echoey voice that spoke to her. "Mother! Mother are you alright!?" Amy shouted in Makoto's mind as Makoto was not surprised to see that whoever was controlling her was not fazed by the commotion the two made.
"Y-Yeah… No… maybe? I can talk to you but my body's not under my control right now." Makoto answered as she had hoped that Amy would be able to tell someone what is going on with her but Amy's silence told her that there was something else going on. Before Amy could answer what was going on, the disembodied voice cleared their throat in Makoto's mind, allowing them to sound more clearer for Makoto's mind.
"It's good to know that you are still alive. Are you able to hang in there Makoto?" The voice spoke as Makoto's eyes widened in realization as to who was speaking to her at that moment. "S-Sora!? How are you… What in the…" "There's no time for questions. Right now your life is in danger and I am temporarily taking control of your body to make sure you're alive." Sora explained, raising the prosthetic arm of Makoto to deflect and parry Izanami's attack. "All I ask from you is to trust me in this situation to help get you out of here alive. Can you do that much for me?" Sora questioned as he waited patiently for an answer from Makoto.
"… I always trust you Sora. Just keep me and my body alive alright? I got hit one too many times and I just need a breather." Makoto said as she could feel Sora give her a smile at that moment before she felt her consciousness gradually fade away. What felt like her eyes slowly closed as she felt a warmth begin to swell all around her, helping her feel a sense of safety. She did not know how Sora was doing this but at the same time did not care, the fact that he was able to get to her while she was in this situation was all that she could ask for.
"I'm tagging you in… Sora."
Relius Clover and been patiently observing from the sides the battle between Makoto Nanaya and Izanami for some time now. He had deemed that his intervention was not necessary due to the fact that Makoto Nanaya had possessed the power of the other Lost Nox Nyctores and would have been able to stall out the former imperator only if her body did not give out on her. The situation however has changed drastically as what he had expected to be a simple fight ending in the conclusion that one will fall over the other has evolved into something completely different.
"Were you hiding some other tricks from me?.. Or maybe it's you who has changed Miss Nanaya." Izanami questioned as Makoto stood in a more composed posture compared to her ragged stance. Her body was still bleeding but she was calmly applying various medical patches to ensure she did not bleed out. She even went as far as to tear out the final piece of top cloth covering her breasts and was not bothered that she was exposing them.
"I don't know. Why don't you ask her that question later." Makoto spoke but her voice simply had a difference in tone that Relius immediately recognized and couldn't help but become extremely intrigued. "Ahhhh… So it looks like you are still capable of some tricks Balmung…" Izanami questioned as Makoto's head shook upon hearing that. "And how many times must I tell people to call me Sora Minakaze… well I guess in this case since I am possessing Makoto's body for a little bit I guess that is fair." Makoto no Sora spoke as he stretched Makoto's body for her.
"What do you think you are doing at this moment?" Izanami questioned as Sora looked at the imperator with the borrowed eyes of Makoto. Relius himself could get a good glimpse of said eyes, able to see the right eye of Makoto Nanaya now glow a pale greenish azure, the same eye that would glow the same way with Sora's own body. But that was not the only amazing thing that he was witnessing in front of him.
With his ability to see the souls of the bodies that inhabited them, Relius was able to see three souls that were currently inhabiting the body of Makoto Nanaya. There was the obvious soul of Makoto Nanaya inside her but it was currently surrounded by the glowing soul of Sora Minakaze, forming a shield that always ensured that she was protected from any kind of damage. The third soul was more of a surprise to him, being that of the Murakumo unit he saw with Sora, Epsilon-5. The fact that she was alive was not surprising to him from what he saw, the fact that she recovered as quickly as she did was the surprising part
"Intervening from a fight that you unfairly started with my girlfriend Izanami." Sora said, finishing his stretches as he assumed his normal stance. As he did, he felt his arm press on Makoto's boobs, prompting him to quickly reposition as he realized that his sense of balance was also different thanks to Makoto's tail. "Oh? And are you sure you should have intervened the way you have? You look like you are struggling to maintain your balance as we speak." Izanami answered, noting what she was seeing.
Before she knew it, Sora immediately charged right towards Izanami. His stance unchanged as he threw a punch right for Izanami's face, making her dodge out of the fist's way but before she knew it, Sora delivered a second blow with his newfound tail. The impact of Makoto's tail surprised Izanami as it was delivered with enough force to send her flying. "Nothing experience cannot fix." Sora said as thanks to his experience with being forced to adapt to new powers and situations, Sora was able to fight even in his girlfriend's body.
Izanami knew that despite this, All she needed to do was simply use her time stop to finish this fight. As she flew through the sky, she immediately stopped time once more but something was different. She could hear the sounds of footsteps approaching her way as she turned to see Sora leaping with his temporary body and with his left hand, began to form a blade of pure Seithr to attempt and slice down on her, forcing her to dodge as she preemptively ended the time stop.
"How are you even moving in the stopped…" "You can thank Makoto for that. I don't know the specifics, Makoto figured out that she can alter the fate of being stopped completely by using Balmung." Sora explained as he did not hesitate to toss the blade manifestation right at Izanami, forcing her to deflect it towards the sky as Sora immediately used Balmung to teleport above her head and slashed right at her, cutting her by her shoulder as she stepped back and touched the cut on her shoulder.
"So… it appears that the user and the Nox Nyctores can to an extent share their memories… how quaint." Izanami said as Sora shook Makoto's head. "I don't really care what you think. I am going to stop you before you kill Makoto with my own two hands." Sora said, pointing the Seithr manifested blade right towards Izanami once again, his gaze a serious focus towards the woman as Izanami simply scoffed upon hearing his answer. "And what are you to do? You are here right now but as long as this fight remains, she will remain trapped in this realm with me. You surely think that you can teleport your way out of here?" Izanami questioned.
"Of course not, you have been blocking all attempts to teleport for some time now. So the only option we have left is to simply fight our way out of this situation with everything I've got." Sora responded, cracking his fists as she felt the air change a little. "You've been enjoying yourself a bit too much with my girlfriend, how about I knock you down a peg." Sora said, making manifest behind him several Black beast heads, now in a physical form instead of a corporeal form as Izanami couldn't help but laugh at this fragrant display of power.
"You really think that using the monster that nearly wiped out humanity would have an effect on me? A goddess of death? What do you truly hope to do? Kill me?" Izanami taunted, hoping to sow some doubt into Sora's mind. Sora merely looked at her with Makoto's face and merely scoffed upon hearing that statement. "Yeah of course. There's no point in trying to overthink things here. If you want to keep on getting up after I put you down go right ahead, I will just keep doing so over and over again until you learn to submit." Sora said, his voice having a bluntness to it that sent a chill down Izanami's spine.
"You truly are a fool…" Izanami said as Sora knew that was an attempt at an insult directed towards him. "And I am not buying your death goddess crap. The only way I am going to believe such a thing is seeing you pick yourself back up when I put you down on the ground." Sora said, tensing his temporary body as he knew that for Makoto's survival he was going to have to fight with everything he got. But that is fine for him as compared to trying to understand the laws of the world…
Saving his girlfriend from a supposed death goddess was going to be much easier…
