Darren POV:
After that fight with Ishtar, I had several broken arms, ribs, some burnt torsos and a pierced stomach. I still laid on the ground as blood started to spread.
Darren: Shadow Heal.
My wounds started to slowly close up and darkness began to heal my wounds. Kurumi made me place my head on her lap. Wiz just sat next to me and played with my hair.
Darren: Yuko, how's Ishtar.
Yuko: Bullied.
Darren: Good. She deserved it for breaking my arms and legs.
Lucas: So, right now where should we go? You are basically stuck here since you can't move while healing and I don't think you want to move anyways.
Darren: YUP! I don't want to move from this spot right now.
Lucas: Knew it.
Darren: You guys can go ahead. I'm fine here.
Lucas: Would you look at that. Your wounds are healed. C'mon, we have to get to another part of the room.
Lucas and Yuko practically dragged me off of Kurumi's lap as I just stood there with an emotionless face.
Darren: Why?
Lucas: Do that when we get home, then no one will stop you there.
Yuko: I just don't want unholy noises coming out of your room tonight.
Darren: Idiots fine, let's go to the next room. I won't fight though, from what I can tell. That Goddess had the strongest aura out of the three people in this castle.
Yuko: I want to fight next. May I?
Darren: Sure.
Lucas: I'll fight the last one.
Darren: The throne, I'm coming for you.
We approached another room where I dodged some arrows sent towards by some traps.
Darren: Inverse.
The ground suddenly turned into a dark goo while all of the arrows stopped and disintegrated into dust while Yuko, Lucas and I just kept on walking.
Yuko: You copied Inverse from your form huh?
Darren: If he was able to summon angels then he would've had the same angel as White Queen.
Lucas: Inverse Kurumi?
Darren: Yep.
Darren: (Ciel, is it finished?)
Ciel: (You mean the project? If so, yes. The project you wanted finish using Kurumi Tokisaki's Sephirah as well as Mukuro Hoshimiya and Kurumi Tokisaki's angels are finished.)
Shoto: (My liege, I wish that the next opponent would be handled much easier)
Darren: Yuko, you're fighting the other one right? Ishtar didn't gain a boost. If she did gain a boost from the castle then I would've lost.
Yuko: Yeah, the undead castle gives a 2x boost to alters Saber Alter's powers was boosted as well. So the next room huh?
Darren: Next room huh? The mentality room?
Yuko: Wtf?
Lucas: What is this?
Lucas: Want to kick the door down?
Darren: Sure.
Lucas, Yuko and I kicked down the door with a cold stare down our faces. There, sat a man with white hair and a bow next to him. He was sitting down on the couch with a grin.
Yuko: So you're my opponent?
???: Seems like it. I'm Archer Emiya, nice to meet you.
Yuko: Yuko Pendragon. Shall we?
Emiya: Before we fight your friend there. *points at me* Is the monarch's vessel right?
Darren: Yeah, I am what will you do about it?
Emiya: Those two over there. *points at Kurumi and Wiz* Are your lovers right?
Darren: Yeah, so what?
Emiya: This is the mentality room you stepped into.
Darren: You're testing my mentality to see how strong I am mentally right?
Emiya: Yep.
Darren: Come at me.
Emiya: But you won't be reacting to yourself.
Darren: Huh? Who would I react to then?
Emiya: Your lovers.
Darren: *shudders* What?
Emiya: Yep, you have to react to every sin that they have ever performed.
Darren: I'm ready...
Emiya: OPEN UP! MENTALITY SPACE!
I was swallowed up by the huge portal and found myself in Tengu City once more.
Yuko POV:
I started stretching my body while Archer stared at me while slinging his bow on his back.
Yuko: Prepared?
Archer: I'm prepared of course.
I dashed towards Archer who kicked me on the stomach which sent me flying into a wall. I punched him in the face before he could kick me though. However, he just stood there and smirked.
Archer: You think that weak punch would be able to do anything to me?
Yuko: I haven't even gotten serious yet.
Archer: same here.
Yuko: MORDRED I CALL UPON YOU!
Mordred: (THANK YOU MASTER)
(Mordred Amour for Yuko)
Yuko: Are you prepared?
Archer: Am I supposed to be scared? It seems weak.
Yuko: Not sure, just know that I will win against you.
I dashed towards Archer while swinging my sword which was blocked by his bow and kicked me into a wall.
Archer: You just changed armour, was it meant to do anything?
Yuko: Yeah, I will take you out with the power of my servants.
-To Darren POV:-
I rubbed my head from looking at Tengu city, it looked old. Some of the building were destroyed around thirty years ago. I was on the road.
Darren: Ok, Ciel, what's happening here?
Ciel didn't reply. No one replied to me. I tested out all of my abilities only my blue flames ability was able to work. I looked around and saw a school. The school seemed old and two girls walked out of that school. I can't tell who was it though. I jumped over for a little just within my superior hearing range.
Darren: Who are they?
???: Hey, Kurumi-
Darren: (KURUMI?! I guess she was alive thirty years ago anyways)
Kurumi: Hello, Sawa-san.
Darren: (Kocho's older sister? I know that Kocho is only 4 at this time)
After school she went straight for the rooftop apparently someone called her there. Mio Takamiya was there. In her glitched up form, I sneered at her but I couldn't do anything about it.
Darren: Zaphkiel.
(Replace Kurumi with Darren)
I jumped and tried to reach for the Sephirah. But it had already latched onto Kurumi and started turning her into a spirit.
Mio: I can sense the Monarch's aura inside you. Who exactly are you?
Darren: This room, is just like when I used Yud Bet and travelled into the past. But this would be an alternate timeline.
Mio: What room?
Darren: Don't speak to me...
Mio: You sure?
The room started to speed forwards and I was suddenly atop of a rollercoaster frame. Kurumi stood there. She summoned her Zaphkiel and killed that berserk spirit. My eyes widened in shock even though this isn't the first time Kurumi has killed innocent people. That was her own kind, a spirit.
Darren: KURUMI!
Kurumi: Huh? Mio? Who is he?
Darren: Someone you need to know, I am Darren Satoru.
Mio: Kurumi, please eliminate him. I can feel that he has a sephirah imbued into him. He might to berserk.
Kurumi: Hai.
Darren: Isn't the first time we sparred though.
The scene changed again. I was standing next to Kurumi while she killed yet another berserk spirit, this time it was different. I can sense Sawa's energy from it. Meaning that she killed her best friend in cold blood.
Darren: Kurumi!
Kurumi: You?
Darren: Yea!
Darren: LUCIFUGUS!
(Replace White Queen with Darren)
Kurumi: An angel?
Darren: No. Dismiss. Lucifugus.
I was suddenly teleported to another scene. It was a village that looked around 200 years old.
Yuko POV:
I delivered another swing to Archer who returned with a bow block then a punch directly towards my stomach.
Archer: I guess I will use a sword as well. *summons his arrow*
(pretend that there is only the arrow)
Yuko: Bring it!
I dashed towards him with my sword while he blocked it with his arrow. He kicked me in the stomach while I grabbed his leg and threw him to the wall. I dashed towards him and sliced him on the back. He shot an arrow directly into my arm.
Archer: Not so tough now are you?
Yuko: Yea. But I still have a trump card that I won't use.
We clashed our swords and despite him being an archer. He was quite skilled with his arrows.
(Left is Yuko and right is Archer)
Archer: This is over.
He stabbed me in my stomach and pinned me to the wall.
Lucas: YUKO!
Yuko: Don't interfere. I have a trump card to win this.
I brute forced his sword out of my stomach and punched him on the face.
Yuko: (This will bit me in the ass later)
Yuko: I SUMMON YOU! SABER ALTER!
Archer: SABER?! SABER ALTER?!
Yuko: Yeah, it will cause your downfall.
A black sword suddenly came out of the ground. I placed my hands on the sword and pulls it out of the ground while holding it tightly.
Yuko: You should be scared now! Alters have a two times boost in this castle.
Archer: Not if I can do anything about it.
He started spamming arrows at me. While the darkness protected me from being attacked while transforming.
Yuko: (Never thought I would say this, but thank you Saber Alter)
Artoria (Alter): (I don't need your thanks anyways.)
Yuko: (Just thought that I would be nice)
Yuko: Shall we head to round two?
Archer: Many servants reside within you. I can feel Gilgamesh and Heracles as well as Mordred. Whom you have summoned before.
Yuko: They are my friends and servants. I will win against you and absorb you.
Archer: Just try it if you even can.
-To Darren-
Darren POV:
I travelled around the village a little. I hid my face with a hood so that no one could see me. My eyes widened with what I saw next. Wiz was inside a house and she killed someone. The man died probably of being stabbed in the solar plexus, Wiz just cried. I slowly aprroached her and placed my hand around her shoulder.
Darren: Are you ok?
Wiz: I-I-I-I killed someone.
Darren: Surely you had a reason. Please tell me.
Wiz: How do I know that I can trust-
Darren: Just trust me please.
She explained how she killed that man because he broke into the house and attempted to rob her. So in self defence, she killed him. I just hugged her tight while the scene changed. I was inside a forest, the forest was an extremely dark one. I saw Wiz walking towards somewhere.
Wiz: I have finished my job... Poison Monarch.
Darren: (HUH?!)
Poison Monarch: Good job Wiz.
Wiz: May I leave the army now.
Poison Monarch: No...
Wiz: Excuse me?
Poison Monarch: You worked for me for my drugs right? Now!
I dashed towards the guy and punched him in the face.
Poison Monarch: YOU!
He dashed towards me even faster than what I can react and kicked me on the stomach while punching my face.
Poison Monarch: You dare to challenge a monarch? YOU FOOLISH MORTAL?!
Darren: Maybe. *coughs out blood*
Darren: This is the strength of a Monarch huh?
The scene changed finally. To where Wiz was handing someone some drugs.
???: Thanks Wiz. Now. I have obtained what I wanted so work for us.
Wiz: No thanks, I just did this one job and no more.
???: Just-
I cut his head clean off while holding my sword and looked at him with disgust. The scene changed for the final time and I was back in that dark room. With Kiriya standing next to me.
Kiriya: Didn't think that you would almost die there in the second scene that is. If that did happen, then Wiz would probably be killed for being not stealthy enough.
Darren: Just shut up.
Kiriya: Now you have seen the sins of your lovers. I didn't show the sins of Velzard, Kocho and Mukuro. But you know what happened to them.
Darren: Velzard once killed millions just because they entered her island. Kocho killed thousands of spirits, some who just spawned and didn't even know anything yet. Mukuro tried to kill me and she sealed everyone's memories about me.
Kiriya: Correctomundo. Now, will you still be their lover?
Darren: Yes, doesn't matter if you show me that a million times, my answer will still stay the same.
Kiriya: You passed the test.
Darren: The test was to see my undying loyalty by showing me their greatest sins and if I would carry it with them right?
Kiriya: Yep. You can return now. Say hello to Wiz for me. A Monarch must stay true to their words and be able to have an undying loyalty. Like how you rushed in to save Wiz from the Poison Monarch even though you might die. Not the smartest decision but I know that you won't abuse my powers.
Darren: The test is over right?
Kiriya: Yep, you are the successor to the throne. Darren Satoru.
Darren: Thank you.
Kiriya: You never fail to surprise me my Vessel.
Darren: This is just me you know.
I was sent back into the hall with Yuko in his Saber alter form and Archer Emiya still duking it out.
Yuko POV:
The shockwaves that Archer and I produced when clashing our swords could destroy an entire city if it wanted to.
Archer: NO MORE GAMES!
Archer: "I am the bone of my sword."
Archer: "caladbolg"
He shot a fast arrow towards my heart. Which I was hardly able to block with my sword. I dashed towards him and borrowed Darren's ultimate move.
Yuko: Darren sorry for borrowing your move.
Darren: Which one. *coughs blood*
Yuko: Sun breathing one.
Darren: Sure. *Coughs more blood*
Yuko: SUN BREATHING THIRTEENTH FORM!
(replace Yoriichi with Yuko and Muzan with Archer)
Archer: Impressive. I lost.
Yuko: Join me. *coughs out blood*
Archer: you're strong. But I can sense that your friend is even stronger than you.
Yuko: Darren? Yeah. He's a vessel for the monarch after all.
Archer: Yuko Pendragon. I shall join you.
Yuko: Very well. Can you tell us what the last test is by the way?
Archer: The next door will tell you.
I placed my hand on Archer Emiya's forehead and absorbed him into my power.
Yuko: New servant obtained.
Darren: Great. *thumbs up* I need-
Darren fainted after that...
