Chapter Four
"This Illusion"
Continued from
here.
The voting session had been quite a chaotic one, even when compared to the turnabout results of the previous sessions. It had been a struggle between Kizaru and Raiden, the results wavering back and forth between them, while Ryuuko would get an unexpected rise in votes against her in the middle of it all as well.
Meanwhile, in the afterlife, a revelation would be made from Illya as they would discuss a way to end the Murder Game, formed by the Holy Grail War and World War III. She would reveal that the best way to destroy the Holy Grail and dispel the evil energy supplying the game would be to find something that she was in possession of. The Dress of Heaven.
With the votes all settled on
Kizaru, it looked like things were hopefully not going to get any crazier than that. With that, Touma would move to the cube within the Core, clearing his throat.
"W-Well, if that'll be it, I'll just go ahead and get us outta here like I promised. See you all on the other side... hopefully..." He murmured uneasily, before walking over to the cube and beginning to reach for it with his right hand. The mysterious Imagine Breaker.
"Just don't get us all killed," the old man named Zelretch spoke up, to which Rin would reply in a sudden bout of surprise.
"Z-Zelretch? Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, wielder of the Second Magic and creator of the Mystic Code, the real Jeweled Sword? Is that... you?"
Looked like she was a big fan.
Zelretch, in turn, would also recognize Rin, apparent from his smile, though it was also evident that the two of them had never actually met.
"Hm. With that affinity for red... you couldn't be anything other than a Tohsaka. Am I right?"
"Y-Yes! I'm a Tohsaka! I--"
Before Rin would be able to continue, a certain high-pitched sound would be heard. The sound of Touma's ability, Imagine Breaker, coming to use as it would come into contact with the mystical cube. Suddenly, the entire world began to rumble as though a massive earthquake had started, likely a result of Touma's interference with the nature of the world.
Before you all knew it, chunks of the ground would collapse and dissipate, falling into the darkness below as though you had all been standing on top of a giant jigsaw puzzle all this time. There was nowhere to go. Nowhere to flee to. Nowhere to climb atop.
Before you all knew it, the ground before you would collapse, as the whole world would effectively be erased.

The next thing you all knew, you would find yourself floating in a black space. Your bodies were surrounded by endless darkness. It was almost like you were dead, but the sensation of floating in an endless pool of nothingness felt... strangely real and vivid. You could pinch yourself and definitely feel it, so it could only mean you were well and conscious, right?
If so, then where was here?
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a giant red dot would appear below you, dripping a little with material that resembled blood. And then another would appear. The dots together would look like eyes, and then... a curve underneath. A curved line that resembled a smile.
A sick, horrifying smile, made up of blood.
"WELCOME TO THE TATARI. YOU'RE IN MY WORLD NOW."
A hysterical, high-pitched male voice suddenly shrieked in your heads, potentially startling some of you, before your vision would seemingly leave you for a brief moment.
Did you lose consciousness again? Did you simply go blind? What the hell was going on?
- - -
When you would come to, you would find yourself in the middle of a city. Some of you might notice that
Jason was missing, though then again, since he hadn't done anything notable ever since waking up at Einzbern Mansion, maybe you didn't notice. There was also
Touma, who was totes more important, who also seemingly disappeared without a trace as well. Wherever could he be?
Well, anyway, judging from the buildings and the general structure of the city, you could assume that you were no longer in Fuyuki City, inexplicably enough, but at least it felt like you were in the "real" world again now, right?
Well... then again, what was that just now? With that voice that said you were all in "his" world?
And then it would be shown to you all.
In the sky, a giant, warped face would float above you all. A sick grin that almost seemed to mock you all. Wait, was that face...
planted on the moon? Yes, it seemed that whoever the next troublemaker for you all was, it looked like he was able to create a bona fide weird, bloody, scary smiley face on the moon, so that you can see its pretty smile whenever you wanted to.
"HELLO, DEAR SUBJECTS. THIS PLANE OF EXISTENCE THAT YOU ARE INSIDE NOW, THE REALITY MARBLE KNOWN AS TATARI, IS MY WORLD. WITHIN IT, YOUR DEEPEST, DARKEST FEARS ARE REALITY. IT'LL BE A BLAST TO WATCH YOU ALL SQUIRM. DON'T DISAPPOINT ME NOW. KYAAHAHAHAAHA!" The voice screamed in your heads, like nails on a chalkboard.
"AND LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THIS IS THE WORK OF ME, THE HARBINGER OF YOUR SUFFERING, NIGHT OF WALLACHIA. IF YOU SOMEHOW MANAGE TO BRAVE THROUGH YOUR DARK FEARS, LET'S HOPE YOU CAN SURVIVE MY OWN PERSONAL WRATH. BUT ONLY IF YOU MANAGE TO FIND ME~"
With that, the voice of the individual who identified himself as "Night of Wallachia" stopped speaking, seeming to leave you to your own devices for now.
However, it should go without saying that you were being watched. Even without the strange voice in your head, even without the face on the moon, you could all just about feel the invisible eyes watching over you somewhere at all times. Each and every one of you.
No time like the present, eh?
