Skyscraper near Heliopolis
EOS engine has been captured, Rita and Kiana has both escape the facility safely and Kevin with Pardo has inspected the engine from afar
Pardofelis: According to my calculations this would go off until 2 days... shouldn't we stopping this?
Kevin: We won't... and I'll be coming here once it will start ejecting honkai energy
Pardofelis: But that's dangerous!
Kevin: It is... But It won't to me, Just don't worry
Pardofelis: You seems happy now days. You look better on a smile too. Well please keep being happy, Boss Kevin and I'll leave this thing to you since you're Boss Kevin
Kevin: Mn
Pardofelis left, Kevin summoned a special herrscher core... the herrscher core that he used to fight against the void
Kevin: ... The key for hope... *chuckle* I don't know if I going to be a villain or not. Once the final herrscher appears if Kiana won't... If she won't become the final herrscher it would be good. I hope she will become the beaming hope of humanity
___________________________________
A day later - midnight
Pardofelis: It already start... I didn't mean to be in two days, I meant two day starting from 12 am... Sorry Boss Kevin, I must have disappointed you
Kevin: It's perfect
Kevin approached the EOS engine
Pardofelis: Well... I'll leave that thing to you boss!
Kevin look at Pardo before nodding
Meanwhile - Kiana is going towards the EOS's Engine
Kevin open his hands and materializing a herrscher core, it was rather dark that luminate a red smoke. the EOS engine burst but still hasn't exploded
Kevin: Jizo
Kevin called out the ego of the herrscher core
The core hovers and summoned a dark cloud thundering with red sparks
Kevin: You are now free in my grasp and I want you to decide which will you go to, You can either fight me and destroy the Engine once you win or I'll let you free
Jizo: ...
Kevin waited for his answer
Jizo: I am the bone of my sword. Steel is my body and fire is my blood. I have created over a thousand blades. Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life. Have withstood pain to create many weapons. Yet, those hands will never hold anything. So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works.
Kevin: An illusion... Good that you still have the sense of protecting lives
Jizo: ...
Jizo charged at him, Kevin simply summoned the Might of An Utu as blocking his attack. Their weapons clash, One of the swords that planted then floats as it glow then projected into him, Kevin threw him as he pushed Jizo back. He turned around witnessing a hundred swords flying to his position, All the swords the flew into him created a cloud dust. A portion of the cloud dust move before even something charged towards Jizo.
Jizo: I am the bone of my sword, Rho... Aias!
A transparent Pink Sakura flower opened as it serve into a shield. Attempting to stop the unknown thing he realizes that it was a spear, He panicked as he dodged it rather than stopping it. It had a purple body and an yellow-orange blade. It was the spear of the last herrscher of the previous era. It returned back to Kevin as the clouds disappear after retrieving the spear
He decided to scan the spear. It was the last herrscher's spear
Jizo: Trace On
Jizo chanted as it created the outside replication, he knows a small detail about its spear. He used it and created 10 of its fake replicas. It hurt Kevin for sure. But he scoffed it off
Jizo: Isn't it early to wake up? Final Herrscher
Kevin: ...
Kevin didn't answer him but only charging into Jizo, Their weapon clashed and in an instant, Jizo's Kanshou and Bakuya murasamas destroyed immediately, Jizo backed off
Jizo: ... To witness my death in my domain... such an embarrassing scene
Jizo said as Kevin snapped his hands, He summoned portals upon portals, magic circles, and chains that weaken him
Kevin: Judgement's Day
Kevin gritted his teeth as he snapped his fingers once again as Jizo prepared himself. The Illusion blow into a blinding light. Upon opening Jizo's eyes... he still alive
Kevin: Pact, complete, test, complete. you passed
Jizo: Wait... What really is this?
Kevin: A test run, Welcome back, Archer
Jizo: Seriously... I have to work my ass over that
Kevin: So you've been training?
Jizo: In my deep slumber that is. So... How's the plan?
Kevin: The Fruit is merely a flower that isn't blooming but it's certainly is
Jizo: I see...
The illusion breaks into reality like a glass, as his wounds slowly regenerate back by his ICHOR healing process. Jizo noticed the engine as he felt threat into it
Jizo: A bomb, I shall destroy-
Kevin: You don't need to... Just rest for now, you're quite damage don't you?
Jizo: *sigh* Yes, I shall rest, Master
Kevin nodded, he materialized back into a gem, He took it by hand. He rapidly coughing blood, he couldn't stop it. Hearing explosions behind him.
Kiana: You must be the culprit... You're here to stop me... Don't you?
Kevin: ...
Kevin look at her
Kiana: Nii-nii... Why did yo-
Kevin: The engine will kill everyone if you don't move
Kiana rushed to the engine but felt overwhelmed by the honkai energy emitting out. Kevin approach her he lend a hand, she looked at him
Kevin: Do not waste someone's sacrifice. Now... This is for everyone's future and the beauty of this ugly world
Kiana took his hand, She felt powerful just by taking his hand.
Kevin: Buffing, complete and now for the last piece. This will be just your own strength accompanied by my strength
Kevin as they both approach the engine. Taking it to eject, Kevin felt panicked it shouldn't be so heavy, He did a test from yesterday and it was just easy to open. Kiana arms looked like it's breaking apart.
Kevin: Unforgivable...
Kevin gritted his teeth
Kiana: Himeko
Kiana look at something that Kevin couldn't see
Kevin: 'I see it now... END! LEND ME YOUR POWERS!!'
His arms turned purple and his eyes turned amber just like Kiana is now. Kevin coughed uncontrollably but didn't stop to focus on the main problem on hand. Kiana look at him with worry. Before she could even speak he spoke first
Kevin: Don't say anything nor do something else... The people will die and we are running out of time. *cough*
Kiana nodded and finally opened the its seal then pushing the EOS's engine due to the emitting honkai radiation that pushed like strong wind. Flying is as well worsening his condition. He coughed a hundred ml of blood but didn't bulge in. He followed Kiana as they flew like stars into the sky. Leaving the nearing in the end of the first lay of earth's atmosphere, Kiana couldn't fly further Kevin assisted her without saying anything reaching Stratosphere levels. It explodes, With a little help with the herrscher of corruption, Jizo converted the honkai radiation into healing substance for Kevin.
The feeling of someone falling down, Kevin rushed to it and it was Kiana, He rushed to her and caught her
Kevin: You're careless as usual...
Kevin still felt aching. Slowly approaching the surface, there was clash happening below him. He took time before barging into battle. Upon his landing in the surface with the sleeping beauty. The two maidens were shock that Kevin was even there. He was looking at Durandal with fury to kill
Mei: Kiana-chan...
Kevin: Cancel your mission, Bianka
Durandal: Kiana is dangerous she needs to handed back to us
Kevin: And Kalpas need to be handed back to us
Durandal: Do you even have connection with him? What do you know about that criminal scu-
A beam shot at her, As Kevin's hand held the Judgement of Shamash. It did hurt Durandal in a way
Kevin: Say it again and I won't seek beg of mercy. Do not talk my comrades like that or else... You do not feel our pain and even as a Kaslana... you shouldn't stick to that clown
Kevin felt regrets
Durandal: Kaslana?! what do you mean by that?!
Kevin didn't answer and disappeared, Durandal feeling his presence she predicted where would he be charging into. Both of them met before, Kevin knew this as he hold that memory dear to him yet... Due to Durandal's amnesia after her abduction to save her. Not just to save her but preserve in order to make K423
*clang*
She caught his attack and threw him, his body is already giving up
Kevin: No... I mustn't... I need to...
Kevin went deep into his slumber
Mei: Kevin!
Durandal took Kiana, Mei charged at her but couldn't do anything, Durandal just took her away leaving Mei gritting on her teeth on just how powerless she is

After seconds
Schicksal HQ
V-22 Osprey
The VTOL is currently under attacked by Schicksal's defense system but nothing goes through it. It wasn't even damaged.
Su: AT Field... It's an interesting technology isn't it?
Sakura: Yes, according to the Gray Serpent the technology was around 50000 years ago or even longer
Elysia: Interesting
Pilot: We can't get through if someone can't penetrate the force field of Schicksal.
Aponia: I'll do it
Su: Wait...
Su hold Aponia's hand then let it go
Su: It should be good, I've calculated the fire power that they're projecting
Aponia nodded as she left the VTOL, Her levitating ability helps her in float in air. The Guns focused on her. Aponia bow her head and chanted
Aponia: Destruction, Anger, Rage shall be resolved into Judgement Day
Aponia opened her arms as yellow arms appeared in her too. A large thunder strike penetrated into the Force field
Schicksal HQ
Operator: All layers destroyed, prepare for combat!
Amber: No, cancel that
Operator: But...
Amber: To defeat a beast, we must release a beast of its kind
Operator was speechless...
Amber: Open Cell entrance #144 once I'm in the Terminal 2
Operator: I see
_____________________
Terminal 2, Cell 144
Amber stepped into the world's dangerous criminal's cell
???: What do you want?
Said the white haired man with black tip on his back of his hair
Amber: Do you want freedom?
???: I just want to get out off this Cell
Amber: Then help us... Attack the attackers then you earned your freedom
???: Then what if I said no...
*bzzt*
???: G-GUh... You bitch... Dare you do that to the mad king!
??? said after getting electrocuted
Amber: Do as we say and we'll let you free
???: I swear to god I will destroy this place! TELL THAT BLONDE CLOWN THAT I'LL GET MY AVENGE WHEN I'M DONE WITH MY SHIT
Amber: Very well
Amber placed a smirk in her face
________________________________
Su: Kalpas hasn't found yet... But he should be Terminal 2 so we'll go there... I wonder what he looks like now
Elysia: There's a lot of people in Terminal 2... my my... I shouldn't be this evil
Su: There's no other choice, These valkyries are stubborn
Sakura pulled out her sword, Yamato
Sakura: It is the only way huh... I shall honor their death and weight upon their death
Pilot: We can't land, The Valkyries are waiting
Su: We're here already, huh...
Su look down and dropped himself into the valkyries
Su: It's been a while, girls
"Su... retreat and you wouldn't be hurt"
Su: No can do... We have a friend that belong to us. We don't need necessary death
"Then you should go back to your Kevin"
Su didn't answer but simply closed his eyes a leaf landed in his hand then clenching it. It formed into a sword. The Valkyries prepared then attacked him carelessly
Su: Even as Valkyries... you should know not to be careless
Su swing the sword and they fell quickly, The other two jumped off
Elysia: Are they alive?
Su: Yes, They will have coma and that's it
Elysia: Good...
An explosion appear.
Su: High honkai radiation. We should known about this. Kalpas is controlled by schicksal, I'll hide to back to the VTOL, There should be nano techs that can be hacked. Keep him busy
Su said as he walked away
Aponia: Let's keep the body on the side
Sakura: Yeah...
Timeskip
Elysia: Phew... that was tiring...
Sakura: Indeed
???: Blood... shed... Revenge... Rage! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Kalpas: You... All of you need to die! FOR MY FREEDOM!!
The girls look at beast that Schicksal awakened, Kalpas charged at them. Sakura was the main target yet somehow... The burns doesn't hurt her... She took the Frozen Naraka and cut his arms. A deep cut made Kalpas get her out of his grasp.
Kalpas: How dare you!
Sakura: This is not the way, Kalpas!
Kalpas: It has to... I need to fight for my freedom!
Sakura: I feel your rage, I know what it felt like. You were just the same as I
Kalpas: How do you even know pain when you don't know pain itself
Sakura: I know the pain
Kalpas: As if you've lost someone else dear
Sakura: I lost her and my sister too
Kalpas stopped
Sakura: I lost my sister. Because of some illness, because of some selfish humans with their greed for victory. Those I protected came to hate me too, those that I loved, I lost her too. With my death almost inevitable and her death tragic. I know what pain is
Kalpas: ...
Sakura: I see those eyes of rage nothing but something sad, it's scary for everyone yet not for me.
Kalpas: You'd never understand my pain
Sakura: Death can't satisfy, you've done the right thing and yet... you were labeled as a criminal, But... We'll guarrantee that you are a true hero... So please... Trust in us!
Kalpas: Tch, The hell you know about me!
Kalpas charged at her, Aponia was preparing an attack but was stopped by Elysia, Elysia winks at her as she cancelled her spells. The two clashed with each other. Melting ice and distinguishing undying fire. Sakura was trying to help him, She saw his pain. Just like Kevin did she wants to do it towards him
Sakura: It's painful isn't it? you wanted revenge so bad that you put it into others
Kalpas: YOU! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME!
Sakura was clawed by him leaving a burn to her chest to her abdomin
Sakura: It's painful too... We can't protect those we held dear.
Kalpas finally get on top of her but Sakura... Caress his burning face
Sakura: You can lay on me, tell me your vulnerability and I shall nurse you with care in exchange of our painful past
Kalpas stopped, he returned into his human form...
Kalpas: Those bastards... They... They killed my sister... THEY PUT AYLA INTO AN EXPERIMENT! THEY KILLED HER! WITHOUT EVEN RETURNING HER BODY!... The last I saw her was just her body cold and tore apart... That blonde bitch only laughed at me and didn't help me!
Tears came out off his eyes
*Bz-
.
.
.
.

Kalpas: It hurt... but it wasn't intense
Su: Hack; complete, That was easy than I thought
Su said as he came back down after jumping from the VTOL
The Familiar voice hit him, he look at his side. It was someone that he once made fun of yet labeled him as friend
Su: It's been a while, Kalpas
Su displayed a genuine smile

Hyperion
Finally with our main character waking up, he saw Mei who held his hands whilst he lay on a hospital bed
Kevin: Mei...
Mei: Kevin!
She hug him in worry then kissed him before breaking it to check on him. She look at his eyes. It was less that pain that showed in there
Kevin: How are you doing?
Mei: I'm fine but are you okay? Are still hurt?
Kevin: No... Kiana must have taken
Mei: I'm sorry... I failed... I was powerless...
Kevin sat up and hug her as he kissed her forehead
Kevin: You didn't fail, I did. But I'm sure we'll get her back. It's not you that you're powerless, It's me for not thinking ahead
Mei: *chuckle* *sniff* I hate you...
Kevin: I love you too. I really meant we get her back in just how she was before. Just trust me, okay?
Mei: Mn... I will.
Kevin: *sigh*... I'll stay here for a while so that you won't get sad
Mei: I hate you...
Kevin: Yeah... I'm very much selfish. Can I have sweet pepper curry at dinner?
Mei: Mn... you can.
Mei was still holding on Kiana's jacket, as Kevin noticed it
Kevin: I still remember our little date when we purchase that jacket for her
(Akira: Ohhmaygaahhh!!!
A-kun: He's no longer dense!!!)
Mei: Yeah...
Kevin: I'll swear to make this world back as it used to be... the world that we were all happy again
Mei: I know and I need to work for that too
Kevin: Indeed
Chapter end
Should I put more character time for Archer EMIYA or not? I mean, I seemed fun righting him as the herrscher of corruption... I just would like to decide for you readers
