Mid-Chapter Update
Continued from
here.
After becoming welcomed into the church by Kirei Kotomine, a Survivor of a previous Murder Game, he would explain in greater detail the workings of a Murder Game, bringing up the multiverse theory and so on while doing so. He would also note that even though the original mastermind of the phenomena, a certain Arch Demon, had already been dead for some time, and that the current mastermind must be someone who usurped this kind of power unjustly. Explaining what he understood of the motivations of Fiamma of the Right, he believed that the mastermind intended to overthrow the ongoing Holy Grail War with his own conflict; World War III, but for reasons unknown.
Afterwards, he would allow the Survivors to explore the Church and rest in the meantime, using the place as a temporary sanctuary.
In the Altar, Kotomine himself would speak to those who would approach him, most notably Battler. With him, he would go more in-depth on the notion of Fiamma of the Right somehow having the power to travel through worlds and manipulate them, as well as noting how strange it was that he would need to steal a device from Kotomine's world, specifically a copy of a mystical item called the Jeweled Sword of Zelretch, which could open portals to other worlds, and begging the question; why did he travel to another world to steal an object that could travel through other worlds, and if he couldn't even do it before, then how did he do it?
Those who went to the Study would meet a young woman named Ciel, another Executor of the Church, and like Kotomine, a Survivor from a previous Murder Game, who had explained that the reason for the city's emptiness was that she had used her Mystic Eyes of Whisper to convince the inhabitants of the city that there would be a severe storm that would devastate Fuyuki City, causing them to evacuate. Meanwhile, reports and journals written by Kotomine and a number of others would be able to be accessed. Erika Furudo would come across a classified file that detailed something known as the "Right Hand of the Crimson Moon," but the information resides with only her on what it entailed.
In the Courtyard, a group of the Survivors would come into contact with a strange creature. A Neco-Arc, not unlike the creature from earlier who had stolen Caren's hat. Before long, they would engage it in combat, while another group would find a shadowed young man in blue stalking them, who would then let loose what appeared to be zombies at them. After both of the adversaries were done with, the Courtyard would open up and reveal a strange basement, where a mystical Servant known as Caster, seemingly corrupted by Fiamma of the Right, would attack them, having tracked them all down, though before long, she and her forces would be defeated soon enough.
For those who would go to the Ghost House, they would encounter a place that was almost exactly as it looked. An empty, dead house. However, one thing to note there was a strange door with an even stranger mechanism behind it. A puzzle that would open the door if solved. After eventually solving the puzzle, the door being opened to them, they would find a Russian soldier like from before, who would quickly commit suicide. However, he would leave behind one thing. A note with Kotomine's name on it.
Meanwhile, Robin Tact, Minato Arisato, and Illyasviel von Einzbern would awaken in a strange underground basement, where several mutated worms would be seen, along with an old man who identified himself as Zouken Matou, who stated to be working alongside Fiamma of the Right. After leaving them for a brief amount of time, intending to wait for them to sleep again, his granddaughter, Sakura Matou, would free them, wanting to aid her friend and older sister, whoever they might be. While looking for a way out, they would come across Sakura's abusive brother, Shinji Matou, along with his magical Servant, Rider, who would aid Robin and Minato upon realizing that Shinji intended to gravely abuse Sakura for setting them free.
Upon getting out of the house, Robin, Minato, and Illya would be stopped dead in their tracks by Fiamma of the Right himself, who would use his power to send them into Academy City, a location from his own native world. Quickly, they would find a young man being attacked by several soldiers. Upon defeating the soldiers and saving the teenager, named Shiage Hamazura, a friend of Saiai Kinuhata, he would request that they help him find his girlfriend, Rikou Takitsubo, and in exchange, he would give them a way out of Academy City. Agreeing to it, they would quickly find Takitsubo, but in their way would lie a crazed Level 5 Esper named Shizuri Mugino, who was after Takitsubo for her own purposes.
And this is where the story continues.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
A piercing shriek from a teenaged girl would be heard by everyone around. It had come from just outside the Church, able to be heard by those inside and so on. Many, including Kotomine and Archer, would investigate, and upon reaching the source of the scream, you would find Rin, horrified by the sight in front of her.
The body of
Frank Castle was seen skewered on what appeared to be a broken tree, his body impaled on the spikes that resided. Another murder victim had been claimed, it seemed. Blood seeped down the bark and even onto the nearby grass and dirt. The murder had been committed recently.
"F-Frank... no... no, no, no..." The girl whimpered, as though in denial, but it was to no avail. He was effectively dead once again. He just couldn't seem to catch a break, especially in the Murder Games, eh?
"Tch, how distasteful... to break one of the commandments just outside a house of God. What a pain," Kotomine muttered, seemingly more concerned with something else, but acknowledging what was going on,
"Hmph. A pity that he's already dead. It's almost as messy as the first time I saw him die."
"Rin, calm down. You shouldn't panic, even in a situation like this, or you'll be falling prey to whatever the Traitors have in store," Archer said in an attempt to calm down the girl,
"Besides, didn't he mention that he's died plenty of times before? I'm sure by some miracle, he is somehow simply... somewhere else. In another world at the moment, perhaps. Is that not how it was in the Monokuma Incident?"
"Heaven won't take him, but Hell will not have him. Who can say for sure?"
"S-Still... just because you guys are used to death doesn't mean I am!" Rin sniffled, trying her best to hold back tears,
"I... I just need a moment," she spoke, sitting down on a nearby bench to try to collect herself after witnessing such a sight, and one that was inflicted on someone she cared for, no less. She could barely maintain the strength to stand up as it was, let alone regulate the votes at the moment.
"Some supervisor you are, young lady. What have you accomplished here? And what even is your name?" Kotomine would then proceed to ask Caren in the meantime, crossing his arms behind his back,
"I've not seen you around before..."
"Very well. Take as much time as you need. In the meantime, everyone, stay close. Anyone who attempts to stray from the group will be treated as a suspicious figure, so I wouldn't recommend going anywhere for the time being," Archer spoke to everyone,
"I suppose now is the time you do your little investigation and trials, so get to it, heroes of justice."
Here we go again.
