General Discussion / UBW Blu Ray Q&A
« on: December 13, 2014, 06:15:51 AM »
So apparently from what I can gather if you want to ask Nasu or Takeuchi a question you can fill out this sheet and they might answer it in the next Q&A when the blu ray comes out next year.

Fanfiction / Fervor, Mei Sanguis. (A Kayneth Story)
« on: December 01, 2014, 07:44:24 AM »
Hello everyone, just a quick note before the story, this is a remastered edition of my Kayneth CYOA story, if you've seen that the story is the same but heavily edited into a proper story format. If you don't want to be spoiled on this then stay away from that and the to be a magus thread as that also has a lot of spoilers. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy!

The only sounds that echoed in the elaborately decorated office were the monotonous ticking of the clock and the rustling of papers. As the man sat alone in his desk, quietly reading through the papers while also carrying about a bored expression.

“Heaven’s Feel…”

A smirk crept up the man’s face as he read through the papers yet again, stopping only momentarily to take a sip of the bitter black tea that sat near him.

It was a war between mythical legends for the chance to be granted the greatest prize: a wish. An opportunity for a person to receive their deepest desires. A test of skill, of prowess, and of nobility.

He had no interest in wishes; he already had everything he could ever want. He had power, fame, success, heritage, nobility, and perhaps most important of all: a fiancé.

Yet, an opportunity like this did not come around often, and he couldn’t help but express a vague interest in the war.

Once more he glanced at the scorch marks that marred his door, his smirk quickly faded into something far angrier as a hint of fury fell across his face. Finding the one who was careless enough to lose his possessions was easy enough, yet locating the thief himself was an endeavor, a sorry mistake, that he has paid for thrice over.

Investigations had been launched, questions asked, lectures cancelled, all for the sake of one foolish man, one man who dared to stand against him.

“Velvet…”

He recalled the momentary lapse of judgement as the bolt of lightning flew towards the poor delivery man’s panicked body, only to miss by mere inches, blasting the door in his stead.

Nearly wetting himself in fear, the delivery man bolted from the room. But thinking of past events would be of no to help in a desolate place like this. Now he needed to decide once and for all whether or not to truly dedicate himself to this cause.

“Professor Archibald!”

There was a knock at the door, the darkness from Kayneth’s angry eyes disappeared in a flash as he returned to his more natural stature.

“Come in.”

A different figure entered this time, his clothes were disheveled and displaced, arranged in a strange fashion like a mouse in fox fur, from running all the way there. He carried with him a small package held tight in his arms.

“We’ve found it!”

The man held out the package for Kayneth to see, holding back his excitement he merely glanced at the man before signalling for him to set the package on his desk before him.

“That will be all then.”

With a wave of his hand he dismissed the man, who while showing obvious signs of disappointment, could only bring himself to mutter a pardon as he quickly left the room once more, leaving Kayneth alone with the man’s newfound discovery.

Carefully, he untied the strings and began to unwrap the precious paper that preserved the contents inside. What he discovered was exactly what he expected, it was nothing more than a small shard of pulsing yellow metal.

The shard was a piece of the magical sword Moralltach. With this newfound catalyst, his decision became clear as day. There was no longer any turning back. He would enter this Holy Grail War, just to prove that he and he alone was fit to rule.

‘My victory is all but assured, I shall crush this pathetic competition beneath my boot. I will throw the unworthy aside and put down that foolish peasant of a student. For I am Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, and I will go down in legend as one of the greatest magi to ever live!'

Fervor, Mei Sanguis (A Kayneth Story)

‘Attention passengers, our flight will be ending shortly. Please stay seated while the plane lands.’

'Wha!?' Kayneth was not the kind of person suited to long distance travel. Rather he preferred to stay in the comfort of his lecture hall, with his students fixed on his every word. or in his laboratory, enhancing his magical talents. So when he awoke with a start due crackling sound of the speaker and the message from the flight attendant, he couldn’t help but be surprised and a bit annoyed. Taking a quick glance out the small airplane window he got a glimpse of the many skyscrapers that dotted the city of Fuyuki in contrast to the smaller residential areas that surrounded them. The plane continued its descent towards Fuyuki occasionally rumbling and shaking from the outside elements, but eventually it landed safely on the ground.

He took a glance towards the red haired lady sitting next to him in the first class seats. She was busy flipping through a shopping catalog muttering to herself how “mundane” or “unprofessional” most of the clothing looked with an air of pretentiousness about her. Her attention toward the enormous shopping book was so focused that Kayneth wasn’t even sure she had even noticed his stares. Perhaps it was best he turned away and focused on something else lest his imagination run a bit too much.

A flight from London all the way to Fuyuki took a rather long time. As such, when the plane finished landing procedures even Kayneth was glad to step out of his chair and stretch for just a second, before he was rudely shoved by the lady behind him.

“We don’t have all day you know.”

Perhaps she was just grumpy from the tiring flight. With that judgement in his mind, he did his best to ignore her comment. He followed the rest of the passengers as they made their way out of the cramped plane and into the terminal before them.

As he followed behind the lady he couldn’t help but reminisce about the events that led him here. When he had announced his final decision to enter into the Grail War she was the first to hear about it. But if there was one thing he had learnt from his time as her fiance it was that once Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri had made up her mind there was no changing it, and no amount of begging or pleading would make her say otherwise. Thus, with a heavy heart but a plan unfolding before him did Kayneth make the journey, this time making sure to keep his catalyst safe on his person at all times. He didn’t dare take a second chance and risk losing another one.

As the two made their way through the bustling terminal, a few people dared to glance at his personage, but they all quickly averted their gazes the instant they felt the intense aura of nobility surrounding the two.

“Hmph, peasants…”

Though they were from out of the country their arrangements were all prepared for them, allowing them to skip most of the hustle and bustle the rest of the passengers had to go through. All he needed to do was show a simple ID and the man before him took care of the rest rushing them straight through the chaos.

“You there! Grab our bags and make it quick!”

She snapped at one of the two chauffeurs who had been following them on their journey. Though the man was even larger than Kayneth he couldn’t help but shirk back at the extreme response Sola gave. With a small confirmation he rushed off to find the luggage silently praying in his head that there were no mistakes in the transfer.

The other chauffeur relaxed when the focus was turned away from him, yet that was soon gone as his hopes were dashed and the fiery women faced him next.

“Well? What are you doing standing around? Are you going to show us to our transportation or not!?”

Kayneth was impressed by how she managed to maintain such a vicegrip command on those peasants. It was their right after all to be treated as such, yet perhaps she was a bit too forceful in her methodology. Peasants, even ones such as these, needed to be treated well lest they attempted to retaliate.

“O-of course m-ma’am.”

Not bothering to wait for the luggage they made their way through the lobby and out the front doors where they found a long black limousine growling next to the curb ready to take them to their intended destination.

The chauffeur who'd led them there relaxed as he saw that there were no complications in their travel plans. ‘Just a little more.’ He silently thought to himself as he opened the doors allowing the two nobles to climb inside.

They entered the vehicle and with a brief nod and shout the driver at the front confirmed their location for them. The Hyatt Hotel, a gorgeous building and one that Kayneth had spared no expense on using to his every benefit. With the entire top half of the building under his complete control he could use it however he wanted.

After their bags had been loaded, the car quickly pulled away leaving the two chauffeurs behind and giving the couple some time to themselves. However they were far different from any ordinary couple.

Though he was still fatigued from the flight he couldn’t help but give off a small smirk even as he glanced at his fiance.

“My dear, the preparations are all but complete. We need only to finish the final ones ourselves and the war will be on its way.”

On the other hand Sola looked as bored as ever. Ignoring Kayneth’s attempts at small talk and only managing to utter a small “Of course.” she glanced out of the windows with a long dejected sigh.

Perhaps the trip was harder on her then he had thought? That was the only conclusion Kayneth could reach. Out of concern for her well being he decided it was best to speak up yet again.

“My dear, is something bothering you? You seem to be bothered by something. If there’s anything wrong, or anything I can do to help, please tell me.”

Still not even bothering to turn and face him, she gave a short reply.

“No... Nothing is wrong, I’m just a little tired from the long trip, that's all.”

Her mind seemed to be set in its place, and there was nothing Kayneth could think of to improve the situation. Perhaps it was best to wait until after they arrived.

With these thoughts in his head the car continued to make its way towards their hotel in silence. Kayneth buzzed with excitement, anticipating the events in the future battles ahead, while Sola found herself feeling nothing at all.

*******************************************************

After some time had passed, the limousine pulled up to the curb right in front of an enormous building. This would become their residence and base of operations for the next few weeks.

The driver quickly exited the car and opened the door, allowing the two to step out onto the sidewalk. With perfect timing a nearby bellhop who'd been waiting for them quickly followed the driver to get their luggage.

It seemed as if everything was beginning to move along smoothly. Without stopping to check on the men, Kayneth and Sola made their way into the hotel lobby where yet another clerk stood by waiting to greet them.

After a quick confirmation of their identity and arrival, they made their way towards a VIP elevator and quickly stepped inside. The bellhop who had finally gathered the last of their luggage made a movement to follow them, but after a steely eyed glaze from Sola quickly changed his direction and headed towards the more crowded public elevators nearby.

Their destination was at the very top of the forty second floor, though nearly half the floors below them had also been cleared of people. Those floors would become the foundation for his fortress. For now they headed toward their main living arrangements.

They made the journey in silence, with Kayneth unable to think of anything to say. Sola continued to do her best to ignore him, only staring at the doors ahead.

Finally they arrived, with a single chime signalling their stop. The doors opened and they came face to face with the ornately decorated hallway that led them to their temporary home.

The bellhop was not far behind as a second elevator opened up alongside theirs. He quickly stepped out, his cart packed to the brim with bags upon bags. He led the way for them, skillfully opening the door while also dragging the cart along with him.

Once they made their way inside, Kayneth immediately began to look around. In his head he began planning just where his equipment would go. This was in addition to the boxes upon boxes of packed equipment that was already safely stashed in the room.

When the bellhop had finished his job he turned to face his employers, yet Sola only had harsh comments for his reward.

“A passable job, we have no need for any further assistance. You may leave now.”

With a disappointed nod he quickly left the room empty handed, finally leaving the two of them alone.

When he was finished with his quick examination of the place Kayneth once more turned towards Sola, his excitement reaching its fullest capacity he spoke once more.

“This place seems suitable enough, perfectly fitting for ones such as ourselves. But I can’t help but notice that you’ve seemed so tired during this long journey. Therefore I ask, my dear, why don't you rest until the evening? Leave the initial preparations to me.”

Sola could only shrug in bitter approval as she disappeared into a different bedroom than his own. With this she made it perfectly clear that they would both be sleeping in different rooms. Though he felt a tinge of disappointment, Kayneth knew that this was for the best. They were only engaged after all; perhaps it was just a little too soon to think of such things.

After the door closed, Kayneth was left to himself in the large open living room. Though he was a bit tired from the journey there was still much to do and about only a week left to do it. So, with high spirits he set to work. A small tinge of regret lingered in the back of his head about the minor mistakes he had made up until this point.

The loss of his original catalyst, no matter how much he tried to put that thought to rest, continued to haunt him. That small reddish patch of cloth, for causing him so much trouble up until now, he would make sure his pupil was taught a painful lesson.

It was only thanks to the vast web of associates and other magi with a taste for artifacts that he was able to acquire a second catalyst so quickly. Once more he felt the small package contained inside his coat pocket alongside various other pieces of equipment.

“Waver Velvet... I shall teach him the error of his ways. Oh yes, by this war’s end, I will show him what happens to someone who dares cross an Archibald. But, enough of that…”

He glanced at the cluttered room yet again. Along the walls were various crates and other containers all shipped beforehand and made just for him. If anyone else had tried to open them not only would he instantly be alerted due to a small sigil placed inside each and every box, but said person would also be in for a very unpleasant shock.

Walking over to the nearest crate he held his gloved hand out and muttered the pass phrase meant to deactivate the trap inside. With a small click he unhooked the pin keeping the container shut before opening it, revealing the well kept devices inside.

This particular crate happened to hold various liquids of different colors and compositions. They were useful for creating different types of potions and for enchanting items.

Setting that particular crate aside he moved on to the next one and slowly began to get to work on creating the finest magical lair this city had ever seen, and with only seven days to do so.

*******************************************************

Eventually the fruits of his labors were beginning to be made clear. The rows of boxes were unpacked and laid out onto various tables surrounding the room. It was beginning to more closely resemble his laboratory back in England. And seeing as how he still had a few hours before night fell Kayneth decided that now was a good time to focus on something else.

He wasn’t the only one entering into this war after all. From what he remembered there would be six other participants. The three families that were the main focus would almost assuredly be taking part yet again, so that left three completely unknown factors. All of this combined could put him in a dangerous situation if he was not careful. As a man of knowledge, he needed to look into any and all possible outcomes.

Finishing the construction of his base could wait just a little longer. For now it was time to delve deeper into the minds of his foes. With this plan now in his head he decided it best to call in a little outside help. Taking a small silver vial from within a coat pocket he poured the liquid onto the ground while simultaneously uttering an incantation.

“Automatoportum communicet: manibus spiritualis evocationis remedio, nine caput, Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi.”

The circuits in his arms began to glow with a soft yellow light as the liquid hit the ground. The liquid transformed into a sphere with the size and shape of a crystal ball. It then rose up into the air directly in front of Kayneth. Holding one of his open palms towards the ball while also holding his other hand at his mouth, he began to speak.

“Nuntius satus: Information request, Heavens Feel; Fuyuki Japan, 1800 to 1994: nuntium ad finem.”

It was a request for information in regards to the Grail War and its participants both old and current. ‘That should suffice for now.’

Satisfied that he had requested enough information he allowed the sphere to move towards a nearby table where a thick stack of paper was located. Once the ball had reached its destination it completely covered the papers and began to imprint words upon words on them. This was a method of long distance communication specific to Kayneth’s own talents. With it he could receive and give messages to anyone he needed to communicate with.

It would take time to get all the information ‘printed’ out. As such, Kayneth went into the kitchen and began to brew one of his favorite brews of tea.

*******************************************************

The sun began to fall as night came forth through the large windows. The request for information was reaching its completion, though Kayneth couldn’t help but be disappointed with the results. There was almost nothing new from what he had already previously known about the war. The details on how a Servant is summoned, the War between Masters and Servants, the three families, they were all things of which he had been aware. There was almost no documentation on the wars themselves..

If anything, the only new information he was able to gain was about the few Masters that could already be confirmed. Though the names were familiar he would have to take a more in depth look at the papers later and perhaps contact more people for more information regarding them and their talents.

It had also just occurred to him that Sola was still hiding out in her room. Perhaps a good night’s sleep really was what she needed. For now at least he would not disturb her.

*******************************************************

Kayneth worked quickly with his various tools and contacts over the next few days. When Sola finally emerged from her room, Kayneth also made sure to quickly set her to work on constructing the tools and other mechanisms that would cover every inch of these top floors.

He made sure she knew what she was doing by sharing with her some blueprints as well as directly showing her whenever he had the time. Though she remained rather snarky throughout the days she obeyed with little trouble and as such after three days had passed Kayneth could once more sit down to analyze all of the new data he had collected.

Though it was still lacking, there was a lot more to go through than on the first day. Finding exactly just who to talk to was quite a challenge even for Kayneth, but he believed that he had finally gained an acceptable amount of information.

Taking a seat in one of the more comfortable chairs he took a sip out of his freshly brewed tea allowing the bitterness to flow through his mouth.

“I’ll be gone for a while, I’m going shopping.”

With most of her tasks finished for the day, Sola excused herself from the room allowing Kayneth to read in peace.

Most of what he saw were again things he already knew, he knew that no Grail had ever been wished upon, due to unforeseen complications. The war before this, the third, seemed to have been particularly messy with, Einzbern taking on more than they could chew. Though the exact results of this were unclear, it was something that was definitely worth remembering.

What allowed this ritual to function properly were multiple factors, the Greater and Lesser Grails, and the ley lines that stretched throughout the city almost like a giant spiderweb. The Greater Grail, the main device that performed most of the complex work that no Master could accomplish, had to lie near one of these ley lines. The Lesser Grail was produced by the Einzbern every war. After all the Servants were defeated, one could use this Lesser Grail to grant them any one wish they desire. A simple enough concept but Kayneth doubted it would be so easy. And those leylines, perhaps they could be of some use.

As for the current participants, he knew of five out of six, Tokiomi Tohsaka, Zouken Matou, Kiritsugu Emiya; these were the three main factors he needed to watch out for. They were most certainly entering in some fashion as representatives of the three main families.

Zouken in particular seemed to be the most worthy of the three as there had been reports of him in almost every single war. His family almost bore as much fame as the Archibald name yet it was such a shame that he relocated to such a backwater country.

Tokiomi was the second largest threat, from what Kayneth could gather he seemed to be the embodiment of a perfect magus. He always kept to the book, and despite his Japanese lineage had manage to make quite a name for himself. Definitely an exciting foe to match.

And then there was Kiritsugu, the magus killer. A gun for hire with no real lineage to call his own. Why the Einzbern hired him was anyone’s guess. Perhaps they had finally gone mad from failure after failure to reclaim their lost Third Magic. He was of no interest to anyone and would be an easy foe. However if the reports were true, a second homunculus related to the Einzbern might also appear, that would be far more interesting than anything this Kiritsugu could show off. That was certain. Yet, he would need to be watched as it was said that he preferred to rely on non magical technology.

That left three others, Kirei Kotomine, Waver Velvet, and the unknown factor who would most likely appear just to fill that last slot.

Kirei Kotomine, a man who just recently entered the realm of magical study yet if the reports were true his talents were immense even with no history to his name. Not to mention being trained under Tokiomi. Though they recently had a falling out, which seemed almost too good to be true. Kayneth considered him the third greatest threat to this war.

And Waver… Waver Velvet, a former pupil under Kayneth and a thief of his artifact. Nothing more than a thief and a liar, He was definitely the weakest Master in this war, even despite the high-quality catalyst he had plundered. That one, who managed to in so many battles despite the odds was probably not one to be controlled easily. Waver’s Servant would most likely destroy him before anything else did.

There was also the unknown factor, a wasted slot that needed to be filled as per the quota. It was probably nothing to worry about.

These were the participants for the war. Quite an interesting batch, yet nothing out of Kayneth’s control. One by one he’d weaken them until they were no more. Then his victory would be certain!

*******************************************************

Over the next five days Kayneth continued his work perfecting the defenses surrounding him. And then, on the fifth night, seven days after he had arrived, the time was finally nearing. As night fell upon the city once more, he carefully began to lay the summoning circle out before him using a concentrated batch of magical mercury. As he drew, he went through a series of mental checks making sure to keep track of all the results of his hard work.

He had spent far too much time on information gathering, because of this an array of equipment lay in the corner of the room still boxed and untouched as neither Kayneth or Sola had the time to reach it. Yet the multiple bounded fields reached straight down for another twenty three floors. They included different effects such as detection and mental boundaries meant to confuse the mind and throw them into disarray. There we also other bounded fields though they lay dormant for the time being, only to be activated in a time of crises.

Twelve floors down a grand steel engine roared with life as it constantly produced the magical energy needed to maintain such an enormous fortress, along with that were ten demonic spirits summoned over the last few days, they wandered the empty hallways and awaited their master’s call. Should he ever need help with anything, he need only call and they would answer.

Along with these, were layer upon layer of traps, each deadlier than the last. Should anyone dare attempt a raid on his fortress they would meet the full force of his contraptions.

Yet this was not all that Kayneth had produced. Next to the summoning circle, a strange metal apparatus stood unmoving but released trace amounts of magical energy through the roof and into the sky above.

This device created recently by Kayneth tapped into the very leylines that surrounded the city and stayed on constantly. Whenever a large amount of magical energy that required prana from the outside air was used this device would trigger keeping a record of that spell and giving an estimate towards the the spell’s location. This meant that if someone were to summon a Servant, for instance, then Kayneth would be able to record and react to the summoning before the Master would even get a chance to move.

“Are you finished yet? Surely this ritual isn’t that hard to reproduce.”

“Please be patient just a little longer, I am nearly done.”

Sola who was standing in a corner of the room was beginning to get impatient . Though this was just the least of her constantly sour mood. Finally, he stood back and began to admire his work, the complex circle glowed in silver, not a single mark was out of place, it was time to begin.

“Well then?”

“Yes, it is done. If you would be so kind, could you stand there, my dear?”

Pointing towards his side Sola hesitantly walked up to him and stood there, being careful not to get too close.

Normally a Servant is limited to one Master who held both the Command Seals and the supply of magical energy, but Kayneth a prodigy in the field of magical summoning had noticed a loophole of sorts in the chant.

During set points in the ritual optional words could be added to it, normally this allowed a Master to specify whether or not they wished to summon an Assassin or a Berserker but in Kayneth’s case he found a far more interesting use for it which he was about to demonstrate.

“Set. Set. Set. Set.”

Taking his ungloved hand he held it out so that his palm faced the magical circle. A bruise could be clearly seen forming on his hand.

[img[http://i.imgur.com/g5PxEJn.png[/img]

"Let thy body rest under my dominion, let my fate rest in thy blade.”

With his other hand he took hold of Sola’s stiffened hand. Though she was clearly uncomfortable with the situation she tolerated it for the moment.

"If thou submitteth to the call of the Holy Grail, and if thou wilt obey this mind, this reason, then thou shalt respond.”

The circle began to glow even brighter than before, the magical energy within it sparked as a connection began to form with something.

“I make my oath here. I am that person who is to become the virtue of all Heaven. I am that person who is covered with the evil of all Hades.”

Now was the time to add the extra lines, as Kayneth glanced at the small piece of metal laying in the center of the circle. With just this tiny catalyst a being from another realm, something far stronger than any modern human being could be summoned, and with Kayneth’s supreme skill he would bind it to his every whim.

“Sto ad infinitum ab auxilio aetatis.”

The tug of magical energy that was beginning to fill his body vanished. In its place the grip on his fiances hand tightened as she began to take on the entire strain. The entire room began to rumble as the ritual reached its apex.

“Thou seven heavens, clad in a trinity of words, come past they restraining rings, and be thou the hands that protect the balance!”

His entire vision was filled with white as the ritual completed. Yet that light quickly vanished and in its place stood a man in the center of the circle. His eyes glowed a gentle yellow with a small strand of hair falling over his face. He was undoubtable beautiful even in Kayneth’s eyes.

“In accordance with the summons, I have come. I ask of thee, are you my Master?”

3
The night air was chilled and the sounds of crickets filled the air as a group of men made their way up the road towards the great stone steps of the temple ahead.

With a snap of a finger the man furthest ahead signalled for five of them to stand guard near the stony walkway, the rest of them followed the main figurehead then turned off the main path and into the bush.

His research into the area was vast having spent years looking into each and every possibility. After receiving confirmation just last month he immediately set forth planning the trip and gathering a posse of magi ready to follow his every order.

Past rows of trees and through the bushes he made his way while also using his outstretched to clear any troublesome plants that dare stood in his path. The rest of them followed directly behind in a single file line so as to not get lost.

They came in the dead of the night so as not to attract any unwanted attention, they would finish their mission swiftly before anyone else caught onto their plan. This was the path he had chosen, and he would see it through till the end.

After a few minutes had passed the small sound of a trickling stream began to emerge, holding his hand up the lead one stopped in his tracks and began to look around.

“Here, it should be here somewhere…”

Though it had been over fifteen years since his last visit he remembered each and every leyline though the memories had faded a great deal since then. While there was one that led up the great stone path towards the temple he knew of a second hidden route. One that would lead him to the source of this city’s strength.

“Ah there it is.”

Near the small stream was a tiny entrance barely large enough for one man to fit through at a time. Signalling for the group to move once more he made his way through and into the darkness.

With a snap of his finger a bright silver light flickered forth from the man’s finger, a few of the mean behind him followed suit their hands lighting up to reveal the dank and dark entrance that laid before them.

Slowly they began to make their way through, the sounds of the insects had long faded away, replaced by the occasional trickle of water that flowed beneath their boots.

No one was sure how much time had passed as they made their way through the small tunnel before them. Eventually however, it slowly began to open up until they finally made their way onto the grand opening directly beneath the mountain.

Compared to the place they had just left the cavern was enormous stretching for miles and miles before them. The place was ripe with magical energy and every breath of the air invigorated the entire group, but that was not what interested them.

At the very back of the huge cave lay a shape that glowed an eerie purple, just judging from the distance between the group and the object it must have been huge. But before they could move another step a voice interrupted them.

“Well if it isn’t the esteemed Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, by what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?”

It was a voice Kayneth knew all too well, one he remembered even after fifteen years of absence and one he almost regretted betraying.

“Zouken Matou! Or should I say Makiri Zolgen? You were one of the few I’ve found most difficult to slip by. If you are here then I assume you know exactly why we are here.”

“Fervor, mei sanguis.”

“Indeed, but I must warn you, what you attempting to claim is not within your jurisdiction. This land belongs to the Tohsaka, and you dare to involve yourself without notifying them first? I believed you to be a closer follower of protocol.”

“пробуждать.”

“You know as well as I do, that protocol means far less here than it does near the Clocktower. And besides, would it have made a difference?”

“Perhaps… But having received such a rude awakening I feel that I should follow with my own.”

“рой.”

Out of darkness came the wall of worms, they surrounded both Kayneth and crew from all sides. Though the group remained calm for the moment they were beginning to worry as the worms began to inch closer and closer to them, but Kayneth would not succumb to such a simple trick, he was ready for such.

“Inflari!”

From his jacket emerged the silver liquid, it came forth quickly oozing to the ground where it then began to expand, first past the others who stared at it in amazement and then towards the walls of worms where it met them head on.

And thus the fight began, a battle of will and pure magical capacity. Kayneth’s newly refined Volumen Hydrargyrum Recognitum against Zouken’s nearly infinite horde of worms.

Against the mercury the worms attempted to absorb it’s magical energy but it had been reinforced over and over again with an insane amount of enchantments. All their attempts to consume were reflected.

But the Volumen was not having any easier of a time, it held them back but their numbers were too large, it could do no more than that.

“So tell me Kayneth, do you remember that night? The night your life changed? I was watching you know. I was always watching, I saw as your Servant betrayed both you and your so called ‘fiance’ when he ignited taking both her and you with him I almost pitied you. Oh wait, I believe that was laughter, not pity. The sight was so enjoyable I was even generous enough to alert the oncoming group of magi to your location, how nice of me, kekekekeke.”

“Ah, so that’s how they found me so quickly, I never knew.”

“Exactly, but allow me to enlighten you some more, when you asked for your wish you used a substitute for the vessel. Do you know what this meant?”

“I believe I do not, but I have a feeling where this is going, so please continue onwards.”

“I’m sure you’ve felt it as of late, you are far too much tied to his place now, the slight burning sensation on your hand. That could only mean one thing.”

“The Grail has received enough magical energy? But it hasn’t even been close enough to the sixty years required.”

“Who said it always needed sixty? With no true wish granted only a small amount of energy was lost, enough so that only fifteen years was needed. So do you know what this means?”

“Set set...”

It was a light shined in Kayneth’s head, he immediately realized what was about to happen, he wouldn’t stand a chance like this no matter how many of these ordinary men he had, he had to act quickly. Retrieving a second small vial of silver liquid from his coat he began pouring it on the ground signaling for the men to pour magical energy into the circle as he drew.”

“...Set set.”

“Let thy body rest under my dominion, let my fate rest in thy blade.”

Thanks to his expertise in the field the circle was quickly drawn, yet he wasted no time in beginning a chant of his own, but he had to focus if he allowed anything to distract him for even a moment both his defenses and the ritual would crumble.

"If thou submitteth to the call of the Holy Grail, and if thou wilt obey this mind, this reason, then thou shalt respond.”

“Set set set set.”

He almost regretted conceiving such a complex ritual here and now, but the burning in his hand and the echoes of his foe casting the same ritual left him with few other options.

“I make my oath here. I am that person who is to become the virtue of all Heaven. I am that person who is covered with the evil of all Hades.”

“Let thy body rest under my dominion, let my fate rest in thy blade.”

In the distance past the two magical fields the ground began to rumble as the casting neared its completion for one of them.

“Thou seven heavens, clad in a trinity of words, come past they restraining rings, and be thou the hands that protect the balance!”

"If thou submitteth to the call of the Holy Grail, and if thou wilt obey this mind, this reason, then thou shalt respond.”

The empty circle in front of him began to glow in a calm silver lighting the entire mercury dome that covered them. Carefully, Kayneth began to retrieve the tightly wrapped package inside his jacket. He never left anywhere without it, after all who knows what could happen? Ripping it open he threw the well kept glove into the shining circle, just as a roar echoed at the far of the cavern.

“Rider, kill them all.”

“AaaaaRRRRRR!”

“I make my oath here. I am that person who is to become the virtue of all Heaven. I am that person who is covered with the evil of all Hades.”

Just a few seconds left until the ritual was completed, he only needed to hold out for a few seconds more, luckily for Kayneth the worms had ceased their attack but the ground began to shake even harder and it wasn’t from his circle alone. With a wave of his hand the mercury withdrew itself and focused into a wall directly in front of both him and his group.

“Thou seven heavens, clad in a trinity of words, come past they restraining rings, and be thou the hands that protect the balance!”

His wall fell immediately to the charging boar, yet before it could meet Kayneth head on they were both consumed in the bright flash of light.

A Lesson in Magical Theory - Second Chances (A Retelling of the Fifth Holy Grail War)
[/size][/b]

My hero is:

Bram Archibald - The Upstart Magus
Sakura Emiya - The Wandering Child
Shirou Nosuke - The Immature Bandit

My servant is:

Caster - The Servant of Tactics, Hatred, or Revenge
Berserker - The Servant of Combat, Hatred, or God
Assassin - The Servant of  Magic, Judgement, or Wishes

Hello everyone! After taking a bit of a break from my work I come to you yet again with the sequel to my long awaited Kayneth story!

This particular story takes place fifteen years after the events of Kayneth Quest where events begin to spiral out of control for our poor nobleman. You guys take on the role of one of three characters as listed above while summoning one of the three choices, with the story continuing  from their perspective.

One thing to note is that the servants are different for them all so no Assassin is the same, no Berserker is the same and the same for Caster. Whichever one you guys pick the other two will receive the last two Servants, simple enough right?

Oh also, your choice will also determine the results of everyone else’s Servants so pick wisely! There will be canon Servants as well as non-canon Servant so don’t think you know everything from the start.

Finally this is actually going to be a simultaneous story hosted on both Beasts Lair and Mike’s Dark Side of the Moon forum. For a link to that thread you can find it here: http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread.php/5358-A-Lesson-in-Magical-Theory-Second-Chances-%28A-Retelling-of-the-Fifth-Holy-Grail-War%29

I’m not one to talk much more than this so I’ll end it here, but if you have any questions at all feel free to ask and I’ll do what I can to answer, so let the choices begin!

Howdy folks this is a thread for the discussion of the BMW2 project, a project dedicated to the production of a sequel on the game Battle Moon Wars!

We hope to bring an enjoyable experience one that follows a similar style to what BMW did but with a much better and enjoyable story.

I am the head of this particular project, with DP as the writer, and on the coder side of things we have Cherrylover but we can't do this alone!

At the moment we are currently trying to find Artists, Spriters, and Coders for this project, if anyone thinks they can help feel free to speak up!

If you have any questions or such feel free to ask.

Role Playing / Fate/Stay Night (A Tale of Heroes and Magi)
« on: June 23, 2013, 05:59:00 AM »
Greetings fellow forumites how goes things?

I first joined here when Mike told me about it but after that I haven't really done anything and I figured, man that's such a shame I should do something, and that something is this so without further ado I bring you Fate/Stay Night!

Now what is this exactly?  Well it's quite simple, as a starter I wanted something fun and easy so I figured let's do the 5th Holy Grail War in RP form as I've attempted to do many a time and with varying degrees of success and this one is no exception.

Essentially you the players will control one of 7 teams of Master's and Servant's each one the ones we know from the VN.

Now here comes the interesting part because what happens with them is entirely up to you, for instance you wanna go straight out and fight to the death from night 1?  Go ahead there's nothing stopping you no rules or regulations it's a free for all for the ages so go crazy.

However to make sure it doesn't end too quickly I will be controlling most of the NPC's in the actual RP to both keep players going and to add my own interactions.

The playable Teams at this part are as stated:

Saber (King Arthur)/ Shirou Emiya

Archer (Shirou Emiya)/ Rin Tohsaka

Lancer (Cu Chulainn)/ Kotomine Kirei

Rider (Medusa)/ Shinji Matou/ Sakura Matou

Berserker (Hercules)/ Illya von Einzbern

Caster (Medea)/ Assassin (Sasaki)/ Souichirou Kuzuki

OR

Assassin (Hassan)/ Zouken Matou/ Caster Puppet (Medea)

Ok now a couple key points to keep in mind about the teams:

Kotomine's team does have Gil but I will be controlling him, you can talk to him and try to convince him to do things but he's a very Independent Servant and is just as often willing to plain ignore you as he is to listen.

Shinji will be played first BEFORE Sakura's this means you start with Rider and Shinji and in the event that you lose and Rider is going to die you essentially get a fake death followed by a second chance for Shinji, however if you die again then your team moves on to Sakura and Rider however this involves Shinji still surviving after his first and second defeat in a good enough condition for Rider to get away and re-align.

And the final point is that for those you want the Assassin/Caster classes you get two options the normal route of the Temple crew or you can play as Zouken's team which would kill off the other one leaving you with Hassan, Zouken, and Caster in a puppet form.

I will control the ones that are not chosen, also I want a clean but nice game if you are doomed to die then please except it with grace the better you do the better it is overall and the more fun we can have in general.  If you have any discussions or arguments I will settle them with my word being final that way we can move on and have fun.

So with that I give you the Story of Fate Stay/Night! (Players Edition)

Saber/Shirou: Mike
Archer/Rin: Alice
Lancer/Kotomine:
Rider/Shinji/Sakura: Xamusel
Berserker/Illya:
Caster/Assassin or Assasin/Zouken:

So first off any questions?

General Discussion / Fate/Tiger Colosseum Route Translations
« on: June 20, 2013, 10:32:21 PM »
Howdy folks, was browsing the web one day when I came across a few of the translated Colosseum routes, so I figured why not transcribe em and put em up here for you all to see?

Spoiler for Hiden:
Prologue



Sakura: Such a fine weather, it makes you want to go out.


But where to... Ah, to buy groceries.



… Eh? What was that noise just now?


Chibi Shinji: Sha, Shakuraa.


Sakura: Br, Brother!? What's with that appearance? I can't believe it...


Chibi Shinji: Sakuraa~ Ueeeh ueeeh. It was them, they made me like this!


Sakura: (… Who could do something like this? Maybe it was a magician? But...)


Oh well, it's Brother so it's okay, I guess?


Chibi Shinji: Sakura, I can hear you, I definitely can.


Sakura: Eh? What am I saying!


Chibi Shinji: My body was split in 8 little parts and scattered all over Fuyuki City...


If I gather them all, for sure I can return like before! Shakuraa, help me! Help me gather my other pieces!


Sakura: Eh, I don't want to.


Chibi Shinji: But, but!


Sakura/Shinji: Chan chan!


Chibi Shinji: Hey, it's not time to do chan chan! Like this I'm doomed!


Rider: You aren't very flexible. Is it not okay to be like this, Shinji. It's cute.


Chibi Shinji: Rider, you shut your trap! And how long have you been there!?


Ah, that's it... Shakura! If I return like before, I can talk to Emiya on your behalf.


Sakura: Eh... Ah...


Chibi Shinji: You can do it yourself but... He believes everything I say.


Surely I can create something good between you two! Therefore... Sakura, please, help me.


Sakura: If...if it's a request from Brother it can't be helped. After all we are siblings, I can't overlook this!


Chibi Shinji: Shakura! That's my little sister I know!


Sakura: Well you are indeed a cynic, miserable disgusting wakame, shameful brother who acts like a cool guy but this appearance it's too much even for you.


Chibi Shinji: Wait, Shakura...? ...Wasn't that a bit too much?


Sakura: Rider, let's go! Even if it's a shame, let's bring Brother like he was before!


Rider: (Sigh... Sakura you are too generous.)


True Assassin: Grandaughter-dono, Rider-dono How about a cup of tea...? Eh? … Did they go out? I have even bought some steamed buns.


Chapter 1: Sakura does her best



Sakura: Let's start by going to senpai's house. Since if I don't prepare something to eat for him he'll be troubled. I even learned a new recipe.


Chibi Shinji: You come here even at this time. You can't be serious.


Sakura: Senpaai. Good morni...


Eeeh!? Senpai, what's on your shoulders?


Shirou: Oh Sakura, good morning. This? I give up, hahaha...


Chibi Shinji B: *Attached closely*


Sakura: Wha...! Hey Brother! Come off senpai's shoulders!


Chibi Shinji A: Don't say it to me! It's not me who is on his shoulders. It's another me! Say it to him!


Chibi Shinji B: *Attached closely* Coochy-coo, coochy-coo *tickling sound*


Shirou: Waah, what's now with you, stop it, it tickles, ahahaha. But if you insist Shinji... hahaha.


Sakura: Ha, hahaha, Brother... That's more than a childish prank... You too senpai... Don't spoil him so much!


Chibi Shinji A: Awahwah, Shakura? You've got a scary face, Shakuraa.


Sakura: Senpai you idiot!


Shirou: ---Eh?


*Cue Fight*


Sakura: Aaah! Senpai, are you all right? I'm sorry, I unconsciously...


Shirou: Uh, uuh. *faints*


Chibi Shinji A: Yahoo! As expected of Shakura! Welcome back Shinji! Nice to see you Shinji!


Chibi Shinji B: Thanks Shinji! I'm back Shinji!


Rider: Uuh, so irritating...


Chapter 2: Roar! Oh Excalibur!



Saber: What was that shound Shirou? You are already noisy this early. *ChompChomp*


Sakura: Sa, Saber-san!!


Saber: Oh so it was Sakura? Mmh? That doll is...


So Sakura too received that as girl... Eh? Shirou!? What's with that posture?


Chibi Shinji A: Of crap... Are we done for?


Rider: Saber, I see yo are a glutton as always. It's like you are affected by a curse that makes you always eat.


Saber: *Chomp chomp. Gulp* What a fine greeting, Rider. Unh! It can't be, Rider, you did that to Shirou!?


Rider: If you couldn't notice when your master was in a pinch, that must be delicious. By the way, I didn't.


Saber: Then it was... Sakura? Uhn, maybe it as the one of this recent rumor, The idiot who sells Tiger goods...


Sakura: Tiger... Goods...?


Saber: But even if it was Sakura, if my master is trashed like this I can't let it pass.


It's, it's not like you think, Saber-san, let me explain. This is a gre~at misunderstanding...


Saber: It's too late to use words! I'm your next opponent. Come! Prepare yourself! Or are those big breasts only for decoration?


Sakura:... So you are the kind of person who doesn't let people explain, Saber-san. It can't be helped... Let's fight!


Rider: I will assist you as always.


Chibi Shinji A: Go! Go! ShakuRider!


*Cue Fight*


Chibi Shinji A: Welcome back Shinji! Welcome Shinji!


Chibi Shinji B: Welcome back Shinji! Welcome Shinji!


Chibi Shinji C: Thanks Shinji! I'm back Shinji!


Sakura: I'm sorry Saber-san... Senpai... I'll apologize properly later! Sakura, overflown with grief, now goes. Ah, don't worry I'll be preparing breakfast~.


Rider: These siblings sure do things at their own pace.



Chapter 3: Secret Technique! Return of the Swallow!



Sakura: With that we collected three pieces of Brother.


Rider: Isn't that more than enough? It's Shinji we are talking about.


Chibi Shinji A: Hey! What are you saying, Rider! Do you hate me so much?


Rider: DO YOU EVEN EXPECT TO BE LIKED?


Sakura: You two stop it, this is no time to be playing around. I wonder if Caster-san is at home...


Assassin: She's not. Unfortunately, that witch is absent.


Sakura: Ah, hello Sasaki-san! I see... So Caster-san is away.


Well then, we will come by later.


Chibi Shinji A: Hey wait Shakura! Look at that!


Rider: Aaah, so he noticed it.


Chibi Shinji D: *Squirming attached closely*


Sakura: Sa, Sasaki-san that is...!!


Assassin: Mmh? This? Well, he stuck to me on it's own accord. You don't say that this is what you came here for?


Chibi Shinji A: Nice guess mug-face! Now give it back to us!


Assassin: ...Interesting, that is indeed a doll with bad manners.


If you want this, you have to take it by fighting me.


Sakura: Aaaah, you made him angry, Brother you are an...


Rider: Idiot. All right.


Assasin: I won't go easy on you even if you are women and children!


*Cue Fight*


Sakura: Are, are you all right...?


Assassin: Ah, by all means do not worry. It was a while since a woman had beaten me. It was a nice way to kill time, ha haha.


Here, take it.


Sakura: Thank you so much!


Assassin: There I no need to thank me, after all you won that. Next time you feel lonely you should here to play, girl... No, Sakura-dono. *Wink*


Sakura: *Blushes* Eh, well, but... No, I can't! For me it's Senpai who...! I'm soooory!


Chapter 4: A red Challenger!



Chibi Shinji A: *sniff sniff sniff* Here, he's here, one part of me is here.


Rider: You certainly acquired a strange ability, Shinji. Do you stink---smell sweet like a wakame?


Chibi Shinji A: Ah! He's there! That girl has him!



Sakura: Eh, that is, big sis... No, Tohsaka-Senpai!!


Rin: Oh Sakura, how unexpected meeting you in a place like this. And you brought with you such a “Charmer”.


So I wonder---Are you seeking the Holy Grail?


Sakura: I'm not, I'm just collecting dolls like this one. To be honest, what Tohsaka-senpai is holding is... Brother.


Rin: Eeh!!! This is Shinji!!!??? Ugh gross!!!


Chibi Shinji A: (Me of over there, do it.)


Chibi Shinji E: (Understood, roger, me.)


*Attached closely* *Squirming*


Rin: Eh? Kyaaaaaa!!!


Wha... What was that!! Isn't this only a doll!!? It... Moves!


Archer: I had a bad feeling when we found it... Who would have thought it was Shinji in reality. Rin, throw it away.


Sakura: Tohsaka-senpai, if you don't want that anymore, we will-----TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT.


Chibi Shinji A: Hi, hiiiiiiiiiiii.


Rin: Hurry take it!!


Sakura: Ah, Thank you very much. By the way Tohsaka-senpai, what was that grail you were talking about?


Rin: Ah! The Holy Grail! I see... Sakura, I won't lose to you!! Let's go, Archer!


Archer: Oh well...


Sakura: Eh? Eh? Err... Eeeeeh???


*Cue Fight*


Chibi Shinji A: Welcome back Shinji! Welcome ShiBGHUUUGH!


Rider: That's enough, I'm tired of it.


Chibi Shinji A: Mnh! Mnh! Mnh!


Sakura: I'm sorry, Tohsaka-senpai... But you are also at fault for not listening. *Sniffle*, Let's go Rider.


Rin: She-got-us...............*Faints*


Archer: Good grief... All this for a fake Holy Grail. Well, in a way, it was for the best it ended this way...


Chapter 5: Howl, Berserker!



Sakura: This is... Ilya-san's castle. Whenever I come here it's always so shiny and beautiful. So, Brother, where are your next parts?


Chibi Shinji A: Ah! Over there! That giant has them!


Berserker: Goaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!


Chibi Shinji F: It hurts, it hurts, this guy has a hard face!


Chibi Shinji G: It hurts, it hurts, this guy has a hard face!


Sakura: Wo...w... Berserker-san and Brother are rubbing their cheeks together...


Rider: I dare say this is quite an unusual sight to behold... Or better, to not behold... And there are two parts of Shinji.


Sakura: But Rider... Aren't they cute? However, I wonder why there are two of them.


Ilya: Berserker had one from the start. And then I gave him the other one, Sakura.


Sakura: Ah, Ilya-san!


Ilya: Welcome, un-invited guests. I wonder what made you, ladies who don't know any manner, enter without permission inside my castle.


Sakura: I beg your pardon. As a matter of fact, we have a favor to ask...


Illya: I can't, Sakura. You want me to return Shinji, right? I can't fulfill your request.


Berserker is so happy, who could be so cold-hearted as to steal him right from his hands...?


Sakura: Ilya-san, so kind... You are right, I understand those feelings very well. Yes, I will give up on Brothe-----


Ilya: But, if you need him at any cost, Snatch him away by force!!


Sakura: Eh? Ilya-san!?


Ilya: Hear me, Berserker! Thieves have come to steal your treasure!!


Berserker: Goaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!


Rider: There is no other way if it's like this, Sakura!


Sakura: Why is became like this...?


*Cue Fight*


Ilya: Ouch! Ouch! These dolls? Caster gave them to us. It seems she distributed them all around.


Sakura: Eh! Caster!? Then she was who made Brother like this... But... Why...?


Illya: Who knows. That witch usually acts on her whims. By the way, Sakura, are you seeking the Holy Grail? You really changed.


Sakura: I got interested in it. Brother... It's tiem for you to tell me all about this “Holy Grail”-----


Chibi Shinji A: Yeah! The enemy is at Ryuudo Temple!! Let's go! Oooh!


Sakura: Ah! Wait Brother!


Illya: There there, Berserker. Next time I'll make a toy just for you. So don't cry.


Berserker: Gaoooooooooooooooooo!!!


Chapter 6: Sublime! A woman's battle!



Caster: Oh, if it isn't Sakura-san. If you wanted to go shopping together, I can't today. After this with my dear...


Sakura: No, Caster-san, today I have a different reason to be here. Do you recognize this?


Cibi Shinji A: Y- yo!


Caster: …!


-------Ah! Yes I do. That is surely something I did. I didn't know it was your brother, sorry Sakura-san.


But he is at fault too. Because he appeared and attacked all of a sudden. Was it because he desired the Holy Grail? Ah, or maybe because he was captivated by my beauty?


Sakura: This Holy Grail... Again... Brother, now say it clearly! You seriously were captivate by Caster-san's beauty!?


Chibi-Shinji A: No, definitely not. She's way off my strike zone.


Caster: … Way off you say? Since he was Sakura-san's brother, I considered returning him back to normal... But I can't let this pass...


Sakura: Eh! So you can turn him back to normal! As expected of Caster-san...!


Caster: Ufufu, well since it was me who scattered him, it's only natural that I can, Ufufufu. But they are not enough, if I remember correctly, there were eight of them, so you need one more...


Kuzuki: You were talking about this, Caster?


Caster: Souichirou-sama!


Kuzuki: If someone hears about it, it will be problematic for my students. Caster, return him back to normal. In addition, it could settle once and for all that Holy Grail business.


Sakura: Thank you, Kuzuki-sensai. My brother is grateful too. By the way, what is this Holy Grail?


Kuzuki: Hmm, it's something that recently became popular in Fuyuki. I hear that if you can obtain it, it will grant any wish you have. My dear seeks it too.


And Matou too, eer, your brother that is. He came to this temple to find it, but he was defeated. And he, as a result, became like that.


Caster: Just at that time, I was testing this new magic. So I decided to test it on your brother. And then so many dolls came out! I rejoiced so much for such a perfect split.


But... I got tired of them. That's why as I was walking around, I tossed them here and there. And then you went and collected them all. Sakura-san, you really cherish your brother, so adorable.


Sakura: It can grant any wish... If Brother desired it, it must be true. Is that why you didn't explain it clearly, brother?


Chibi Shinji A: I didn't lie. I just haven't said everything.


Caster: Okay then, since Souichirou-sama said it's okay, I'll return your brother back to normal. Go! What-was-its-name-magic~


Shinji: Oh! Oooh!!!! It came back! My former manly beauty!! I'm dangerous... Too dangerous...


Sakura: Brother!


Caster: But Sakura-san, for the Holy Grail it's different. Women are sorrowful living beings. If it's for their loved one, they will do anything.


Sakura: Caster-san, I know what you mean very well. I'm grateful that you restored my brother but now I desire the Holy Grail too. If I could obtain it, with senpai... Ufufufufu.


Rider: As I expected you to, Sakura. If you desire something take it without holding back.


Sakura: Here I go!!


*Cue Fight*


Sakura: Thank you... Caster-san. I'll live and love for you too.


Shinji: Ku----------fufufu. Ahahahahaha!!! Gyahahahaha!!!


Sakura: ...Brother, what's wrong?


Shinji: Sakura, you did very well. You truly are a wonderful younger sister, good work. Kukuku.


Rider: Shinji... What are you scheming----!? What's this ominous presence!?


Gilgamesh: It's finally my turn, mongrel!!!


Sakura: Ah! You are...!!!


Chapter 7: Dear Brother



Shinji: Fufu, even the heavens are blessing me. Kukuku.


Sakura: Brother, what's the meaning of this? Why is that person here? What in the world are you scheming?


Shinji: You see, Sakura, you too now seek the Holy Grail, am I right? Then, aren't we enemies now? And enemies, normally, destroy each other. You did well to be the last one in my way.


Sakura: Brother! Then... Until now... You kept on deceiving me...? That's cruel, Brother!


Shinji: Don't say deceive, you'll ruin my reputation. Isn't it natural for a younger sister to serve her brother? And you did good in that field since thanks to you my body is back to normal.


Rider: So then who is that man?


Shinji: That guy is my insurance for when you'll get in my way. Finally, I'll obtain the Holy Grail... It's all going according to my plan! Ahahaha!


Gilgamesh: Hey mongrel, I don't see my Saber.


Shinji: … Shup up, will you? Now I'm at the good part.


Gilgamesh: Mongrel, you deceived me! Didn't you say that I got more popular with Saber? Or was that only bullshit!? Gah, and I came all the way here for that...


Shinji: Come! On! Don't say that! For the time being defeat these girls! And then, after this, surely, come on.


Gilgamesh: Ooh! I see! Then very well! You are a good mongrel... Err, I forgot you name, oh well, no matter.


Rider: …


Sakura: …


Shinji: Hey both of you! Don't look at me with such eyes! Don't look at me!! Damn it all!!!


*Cue Fight*


Sakura: So this is... The Holy Grail? Oh, what's this paper?


“Congratulations on obtaining the Holy Grail! Shout your wish and then open the lid~”


Rider: … Is this the real thing?


Shinji: Damn it... Damn it... I lost... That guy wasn't of help at all...


Rider: Be glad that you returned to normal, Shinji.


Shinji: Damn it all... My dream... My wish... To make... Everyone... Happy... Uuuhh.


Sakura: Wah! Brother, you... For such a noble wish...


*Sniffle*, I'm moved... Now I have a different impression of you, Brother.


I understand, Brother, I'll give the Holy Grail to you.


Rider: Sakura!


Sakura: Rider, it's okay... Brother... Please fulfill your wish. Come on...


Shinji: Eh...? For real? Is is all right? Yahoo! Luuuucky!!


Harem! Harem's hope! Sakura! Hurry up! Don't we have to summon a dragon or something like that!? Yahoo! Harem!



Sakura: … BRO-TH-ER?


Rider: Shinji, where do you see happiness for everyone in there?


Shinji: Haa? Are you an idot? My happiness is mankinds's happiness! Tsk, you don't even know something so easy as that? You really are only huge breasts and height, girls.


Sakura: Rider...


Rider: Yes, it's wakame hunting time.


Shinji: Eh, wait, what are you...!? Agyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!


Epilogue



Sakura: Senpai, say Ah~


Shirou: It's all right, I can do it myself, Sakura.


Sakura: No way. Aren't you hurt, senpai? Okay then, say Ah~


Shirou: But, Sakura, this is... Oh well. By the way, is it all right to come in a such expensive restaurant?


Sakura: It's all right. I won this meal at the shopping street lottery.


Shirou: I, I see, that's impressive Sakura! You are truly lucky, Sakura, *ChompChomp*


...Mh? Hey Sakura... This cooking is really tasty. I wonder how they were able to make such a deep taste.


Sakura: As expected of senpai, you noticed. Just recently here a famous...

So what do you guys think?
