"Umm anyway, we should get moving....I doubt the people around here are blind enough to miss what we did here. So umm....well Kuro and I were going to stay at this castle not to far outside the city. You can come along if you want" I said before picking up the helmet "Although your coming whether you like it or not. I'm not through with you yet."​

"You know what, I think I will. Unlike my last team up, this seems to have worked out well. Last time involved a raccoon with a laser gun trying to kill my cat."

"I'm not exactly in a position to decline here." I vibrate my head to make my point clear. "Go ahead, bring me along. But before that,"

I jerked my head at Miss Carol. "'Cuse me! Miss Skintight? Could you do me a favor and pick up the giant Keyblade sticking out of the ground? Last thing I want is for it to fall into the wrong hands."

Click to shrink...

"Firstly, have you ever tried flying faster than the speed of sound in loose clothing? It's not fun. Secondly, sure." I said as I went over to the keyblade and picked it up with ease.

With the combat finally at an end, I am able to how hear the sound of my fusion drives running at normal power once again. Turning to the females that have prevailed, I decide to try my attempt at beginning communications once again. That I somehow went completely unnoticed throughout the entire fight contradicts any rational analysis that can be made of the situation, but then again I was informed to expect insane outcomes, and so do not find myself completely surprised at the sheer ignorance that was placed on me.

"Excuse me, but who might you all be?"

"Good and umm could you carry Kuro's sword. She can't exactly fly and i'm not sure i'm strong enough to fly with her and her sword" I said rubbing my head awkwardly.

"Excuse me, but who might you all be?"

Click to shrink...

Of course I wasn't expecting a massive tank to appear, it was enough to make me freeze up in shock.

Leave, wasted too much time​

"Umm ...I'm Illya and we were just leave. Bye!!" I said quickly scooping up the Helmet and grabbing Kuro before flying off at top speed.​

"Carol, nice meeting you tank!" I said before I jumped upwards and began to follow Illya away from here.

 

[Mortifer]

"You may speak clearly. Nobody is listening to us using familiars or more modern means. If it is not safe to speak here, it is not safe to speak anywhere. And I would... appriciate any information about whoever created... these monsters." With these last words, cloud of insects dissipated.

Berserker is still there, and glances at you, somewhat expectantly.

Click to shrink...

"Well, okay then." I say. "If there really are no Familiars or modern means of eavesdropping, then I guess it's safe to say. I have been tasked with killing Irisviel von Einzbern, who is either allied with the Master of Saber, assuming that the bastard didn't give me fake information for his amusement."

I hope I don't regret that eventually.

"Oh, and the monsters? I'm fairly certain that those are Caster's creations."

 

[Murderhobo of Nod]

You find yourself staring at the dark, night sea, and the Moon shining above. It's fairly beautiful sign.

After furture investigations you discover what you seems to be located at some sort of harbor; not so far from you, you see a boy and girl arguing about somethings.

It's somewhat strange to see them at this hour in such a place.

Click to shrink...

Hey what the hell is going on?! . . . . Welcome to the backseat, bitch, enjoy your stay! Ufufufufufu. . . . FATHER I HAVE RETURNED!! Now then, where the fuck am I exactly? Seriously, where the hell is this? It feels like I'm in some kind of void. . . .

Mordred eyes the children from her astralized form, perplexed, and somewhat hungrily.

. . . . Are you going to eat them up for their soul candy thingies?! You know prana, mana, whatever you bastards call it? Besides shouldn't you be looking for a master? Less your ass disappears? Wink, wink, hunch, hunch?

I would kill for a Klondike bar about now. . .

Shaddup' NEEEEET. . . . .

But decides against it.

Fuckin' hell, lame. . . . !! C'mon let's hijacks planes and kill some sonsofbitches! Hey hey hey heeey, did you know? There's an easily stolen aircraft carrier, about this-a-away's by the harbor? Genocide man - woman - guy, gal!?

And instead, searches for a more reliable prana battery- er Master. Hey, am I moving? Yes. Now shaddup' you; highly annoying ingrate.

"Now where hell can I even find one, now?"

". . . . ."

This was more harder then it looked. . . .

 

[Lealope]

You wake up to an endless void.
"Ah. You've arrived."

Click to shrink...

Dream? Nah, too self aware.

A human figure walks into view.
"Welcome. Now, I'm sure you're wondering why I've brought you here."ג

Click to shrink...

No, I'm wondering what it'll take for you to let me go home.

The image of a city ripples into existence.
"Due to a...situation, I am relocating you to here." It getsures at the city.ג

Click to shrink...

Y'mean you're bored and think kidnapping is hilarious?

"However, I'm not a monster. I'm not going to just dump you there with nothing."ג

Click to shrink...

Yes you are, you just realise it would be boring if I couldn't fight.

The city ripples out again.
"Firstly, I'm forging you into a new form. You'll need it to survive.
Secondly, I have an objective for you. Complete it, and I shall reward you with both knowledge and power."
As even the void starts to fade, the figure leans in and delivers a final mesage.
And with that, you wake.ג

"Priority one : Who am I?" I find myself standing in the middle of a small park and I walk to the nearest reflective surface, in this case a shop window just outside the park.

"Pointy ears, angular face, very pretty. Oh fuck off ROB, you made me into a friggin elf." The word elf rolling of my tongue like the vilest of slurs. Of course it would probably be better not to talk to yourself while staring at a mirror so I go into a nearby alleyway and scamper my way to a rooftop for privacy and some clarity of vision. I guess it might not be that bad, considering I'm not blond I've probably avoided the worst of it and I don't have any magic as far as I can tell.

"Name thyself craven thief of flesh lest mine wrath find it's way to thee." Great, I'm hearing voices in my head. Golly gosh ROB, thanks for this gift to my sanity.
"Dude, what the fuck is up with your chickenshit old english? Have some consistency."

"It appears that your memories and languages are leaking into my memories, much as I'm sure mine will begin to soon."

The first memory hits me. Oh. Oh. Wow.

"Huh. Think you'd be complaining less considering you've gotten out of the Halls of Mandos."

"The difference between what has happened to me and to you should be apparent. You now have access to Feanor firstborn, mightiest of the Elda whereas I can only speak to an Aftercomer whelp and lack agency."

"Fine, I get your point, no need to be so pissy. Maybe if we complete the task we can seperate. We need to murder this guy called Caster who can summon a ton of these Cthulu looking motherfuckers, if we have the Silmarils this shit will be so easy."

Ignoring the shiver of dread crawling up my spine after the word easy, from my vantage point on the roof I try scout out the city, looking for signs of trouble.

Well, so much for meeting the others. The responses I receive are less than optimal, but not being a model capable of achieving flight renders me incapable of practically following them. I contemplate for 0.6 microseconds the faint option of attempting to shoot them down, but decide it is wholly unwise to antagonize unknown entities for no justifiable reason. Turning around, I return to the skeleton warrior and female construct, the same two I assisted in fighting off the monsters earlier.

Not wanting to move quickly, however, I only maintain a slow 10 kph, and the resulting slow speed increases my travel time to 4.32 minutes before I reach to within 10m of the two, whereupon I re-initiate contact.

"I apologize for not coming to you two first, but the other group was still in combat and bore investigation. May I ask who you two happen to be, and why you two are here?"

You find yourself being under some sort of a bridge. It's a night time; you feel gentle breeze and sounds and smell of the sea.

In the distance you see a hunched figure walking into the severs, followed by the group of the smaller ones.

You don't see anybody else nearly.

Click to shrink...

"...Kuro?"

"Good and umm could you carry Kuro's sword. She can't exactly fly and i'm not sure i'm strong enough to fly with her and her sword" I said rubbing my head awkwardly.

Click to shrink...

"No worries, I can jum-"

Then she yelps from surprise as you grab her and fly away.

Of course I wasn't expecting a massive tank to appear, it was enough to make me freeze up in shock.

"Umm ...I'm Illya and we were just leave. Bye!!" I said quickly scooping up the Helmet and grabbing Kuro before flying off at top speed.​

Click to shrink...

-Whaaaaaaaaa...?! Let me go!"

Then she finally notices the tank.

"FLY, YOU FOOL. FASTER."

 

[Prospalz]

"Oh, and the monsters? I'm fairly certain that those are Caster's creations."

Click to shrink...

Berserker nods as you tell about yourself. It's hard to say if she believes you, but she certainly listened, at least.

After hearing what Caster is involved, she looks at you... and huffs in frustration. Then she uses her mace to write something on the earth, slowly tracing awkwardly looking symbols.

"Where?"

"Hey Feanor, do you think that these hunch-back sewer dwellers need a thorough murdering? Considering the hunchback he might just be Caster so if we will then we should probably activate the Silmarils preemptively to make sure his Cthulu looking minions don't surround us."

"You have my blessing to purge his filth from the face of the earth."

Drawing the elven sword the ROB had seen fit to gift me with I call out "Light of Valinor come forth: the Silmarils." and immediately charge at him swathed in a light that seemed as bright as the sun.

-Whaaaaaaaaa...?! Let me go!"

Then she finally notices the tank.

Click to shrink...

I don't hesitate to comply with Kuro's instruction and pump just a little more power into the flight magic, not too much but enough and within a few moments we were out of sight of the tank.

At which point I slowed back down to normal speed, "So umm this isn't uncomfortable for you is it Kuro? Umm if your alright with me calling you that, it was just the first thing that came to mind."​

"I'm not entirely certain." I begin. "But I think that he's in the sewers, or somewhere underground. I could be wrong, though. If you want, I can accompany you and see if he is there."

I know I was going to recruit Caster earlier, but...

...All the people he's killed... It's easier to forget when you never saw one of his monsters tearing someone apart.

So Caster was going to die. I can just get allies elsewhere.

This way.​

Once again, I have no idea how I knew which way to go. But I felt like I was going the right way.

Hopefully, me and Berserker won't run into anyo- Nope, Murphy's law. I hate my life.​

As I finally gain vision of my previous spot where I encountered those who were in combat with those monsters, I notice the two begin to walk away. Not wanting to lose them, as I am still confused by the current situation, I attempt to hail them in an effort to catch up.

"Hello! Are you leaving? Wait for meeee!"

 

[Mortifer]

"Hello! Are you leaving? Wait for meeee!"

Click to shrink...

I turn.

"Oh. You are back."

How to phrase this...

"We're going to do stuff. Not sure I can trust you, though."

Yeah, that's right. What with this being an AU, this might be Kiritsugu's or something. Or not know of the Grail War at all. Still, a tank has to be here for some reason.

One of you.​

...Wait a second...

Is the tank an SBer?

"If you want to come, answer three questions: Who are you, why are you in Fuyuki, and how many worms does it take to destroy a diamond?"

The response is less than ideal at first, and I contemplate entering minimum combat awareness mode, but the questions following immediately put an end to that line of thought and I allocate 0.1 milliseconds to determine my answer. So, this person has come the same way I have. That is good knowledge to have, gauging from his questions. I respond in a rather low voice, so as to avoid attracting attention.

"I am Combat Unit J-S-N-One-One-Seven of the Line, and am also known as the name Jason. I am also not of this world, and have been brought here to safeguard one 'Waver Velvet,' and to your last question: one, at sufficient velocity." I give off a glimmer of shine off one of my forward howitzers as I answer that last question, to subtly signify I recognize where he comes from, and that I originate from the same place also.

Hey, an SB/SVer. Good.

Hopefully, he isn't one of the crazy people.

"Well, hello Jason." I say. "Me and Berserker are going to find Caster. If you want to help kill the person who unleashed all these monsters, I suggest asking Berserker if you can."​

The response makes me glad. Hopefully this person is not someone who will antagonize me anytime soon, especially as we are going after Caster. Then again, wasn't he considered so atrocious that practically everyone went after him? Either way, I take the skeleton warrior's advice and attempt to initiate contact with the strange mechanical woman.

Activating my communications net, I attempt to engage in a conversation with the woman. 'Hello, miss. Are you okay?'

 

[Prospalz]

"Well, hello Jason." I say. "Me and Berserker are going to find Caster. If you want to help kill the person who unleashed all these monsters, I suggest asking Berserker if you can."​

She looks at you with a betrayed impression. You can say what she is not amused at your suggestion. Maybe because you offering to turn a person who doesn't speak into a face of a group.

Netherless, she sighs, and prepares to use her mace as a writing implement again.

'Hello, miss. Are you okay?'

Click to shrink...

"Yes." says crudely painted letters. Then she writes a few more words. "Hunting Caster. Help?"

At which point I slowed back down to normal speed, "So umm this isn't uncomfortable for you is it Kuro? Umm if your alright with me calling you that, it was just the first thing that came to mind."​

She keep silent for a second.

"Whatever. Call me whatever you desire. I quess, I am not a Illyasviel anymore..."

She looks really not happy about that.

You arrive at the castle a few minutes later. While you were flying, a rain has started.



Nothing really happened on the way to the castle; and the territory around was spared from the destructive attention.

As far as you can notice, it's complitely empty.

 

[SlugSLinger]

'Brr' I shivered in the younger Ilya's arms. Being cold in the body of a living suit of armor is not fun.

I look around with my eyes. "I suppose this old place will be our temporary base of operations? Einzbern Castle? Odd, I thought it was supposed to be fully furnished, with electricity, lights, carpets and furniture and all that..."

I landed at the castle letting go of Kuro, the place was almost exactly as I remembered it when Mom took me here all those years ago. It was kinda nostalgic, that picnic in the shadow of the castle.

'Well, someone's testy today. I wonder wh- oh. Right. Sentiment~'

'Yes?'

I lash out with a mental attack. 'That's for not listening to me,' I lash out again. 'That's for causing some much of a ruckus so early,' I lash out one final time. 'And that's for getting us in this stupid mess! I swear, if we ever get out of this...'
'I'm sorry...'

Fucking stupid piece of shit armor. Now how to explain the whole mess to the younger Ilya. She has to have some vague idea of what's going on, even if subconsciously, and I don't doubt for a second that if she chooses not to believe me, she can have her Onee-chan rip me to shreds. Okay, how to put this in the proper words...

"I don't quite understand it myself," I begin. "But I suppose that before I begin, I should ask you this; How many pencil's does it take to penetrate Rho Aias?"

Please be an SVer. Otherwise, it'll be hard to explain to a child what exactly is going on.
