Let's Play Battle Moon Wars
<< | ^^ | >>
Touko is... not very good. I'll be using her as little as possible.
Onwards!
Speaking of Touko, she's worked with Shin'i before! She's mostly inquiring to make sure that Aoko isn't working with us. It seems that the sisters are not on good terms.
Rin appears!
She wants Touko to make a replacement body for Shirou.
Touko is surprised to hear that the body Shirou's in now is already a doll!
She can do it, but it's going to cost a lot.
Shirou has an alternate method of payment: Projecting a fully-repaired version of Ryougi's sword, Kuji Kanesada.
As he is now, he can make a perfect duplicate, but it will break after just a few seconds.
But if he had a better body...
Ultimately, the negotiations are a success!
Catching up!
Later, Akiha wakes up, and gets the lowdown as well.
Sakura was captured, but we have reason to believe that she won't be killed. Sakura is needed in order to bring the Holy Grail into our world.
Meanwhile! Sakura is tied up, chatting with Archer.
The two of them argue over Shirou's nature and what he'll do. Why would Archer claim to know this better than Sakura?
But Archer has a perfectly good reason.
While it never happened in Heaven's Feel, Shirou is starting to piece together who Archer really is.
An archer who wields swords, but isn't trained as a swordsman.
A hero Shirou could imitate to become stronger.
A Servant whose arm could be grafted onto the body of a human.
The man who threw himself away to become a hero, and was plunged into an endless path of bloodshed.
The hero whose ideals were nothing but a copy of his father's.
Archer is Shirou Emiya.
Has Shirou truly changed? Or is Archer still the future awaiting him?
But now, someone who should have died long ago is here to collect Sakura...
Shirou's surgery has begun!
Rider confirms that Sakura is still safe, and can be used as a mana conduit for some extra juice.
Haruna got a call from her underling Natsuki! She's coming into town as reinforcements.
As good as this news is, a terrible premonition falls upon the area!
Chapter 28: Answer
(...Sakura has already...)
(What's that... The same as...? Too intense...)
Haruna? Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm alright for now.
Be careful. The shadow is a mass of people's hatred. If you touch it, you'll be corrupted and sucked in.
Then, what do we do, Saber-chan?
Take care not to touch it directly and you won't be polluted.
If I'm right about the origin, then it's just a mass of magic.
Just use your power to cut it down. It might take several attacks before it dies.
You know it well. You know what it is then?
Yes. But that'll have eto wait until this is over.
I understand.
(This is bad... Looking at it makes me think of that time...)
Hey, Haruna! Snap out of it.
Eh? Ah, yeah. Sorry.
Only one enemy! That's not so bad.
This is the first map where I have to choose which characters to send or not send!
From these six, I'll take Shiki, Ciel and Lancer.
OK, let's get going!
Defeated it in three hits! That was easy.
Yes, without the core, it couldn't persist.
Here come more. This many... not good.
We don't have a choice. We have to hold on until Shirou's finished before we open a path to escape.
How long should that take?
Alright, then we've got to hold on for at least that long!
(No, make these thoughts go away...)
Hey! Haruna!
Eh? Wh-what?
What is it?
Eh? No. It's nothing.
(What... Something's wrong with Haruna.)
(This is a huge mass of stagnation, but it's not like Nrvnqsr.)
(This is about the same strength, but she's being affected much more strongly by it.)
Guh.
...We've got to hurry this up.
Shirou will arrive by turn four! Awesome.
More new mook types! These hoppers are annoying long-range attackers who reduce the move speed of their targets.
But I have reinforcements, too! Ryougi came out to help.
Nice to have my protags back!
For now, we're just tearing through the enemy as per usual.
Robot police dogs!
Laser-guided paper archers!
BLOOD MARKER?!
Field attack!
Like almost every enemy field attack, it is comically worthless.
Rider.
I'm fine here.
...
Shirou!! You've got to get up now!!
...
No way... What... have I done? ...I must have screwed up this time.
Calm down, Rin. It's okay. There's no sign that it didn't work.
Then why isn't he getting up!? He can always immediately get up!!
Another turn of enemy-pounding!
And another!
The three Shadows have joined the fight! We're carving them up pretty good...
OH BOY
This one actually does a bit of damage to my force...
...but a lot more to his own allies.
Haa... Haa... Haa...
Haruna, are you alright? You're hyperventilating.
Haa... Haa... Haa... (I can't. It's wrong, but I know it's not...)
(This is different. It looks the same, but it's different...)
Takumi! Something's wrong with Haruna!!
...Saber-chan, that was...
Don't approach it. It's too dangerous, Kohaku, you'd be affected by it.
Ahhhhh... It's here... It's come... here...
Haruna, keep it together! What's wrong?!
NOOOOOOOoooooooooo!!!!! Stay awaaaay!!!!
I... I... I can still see it!!!!
Haruna! No... her seal!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Don't! You can't rush in!!
That's why I said to stay back! Why'd you dash in!?
I've never seen Haruna like this before.
Ah! Haruna-san is getting pulled in.
We can't let it! That's a deadly poison. At this rate, she'l be...!
Saber-chan. Is there really nothing we can do!?
Haruna's too close to it. If I use my Noble Phantasm, she'd be caught in it too.
...Saber. Will Haruna live if I cut away the shadow?
Maybe. It'll at least stop any more of it from flowing into her.
At this rate, she's going to die!
Do you think that you can?
Just once. I'll cut away the shadow. Grab Haruna when you have the chance.
...I understand.
(Please lend me your power.)
Uuuoooooooo!!!
Full power release!!
Now!
Haruna-san! Are you okay!?!
Keh. It's the corruption of the shadow...
Takumi, that's...!
Like I said... just once. That sword was still experimental. I just released all of its power at once.
Saber-chan! It's coming!!
Sorry. I can't fight anymore. It's up to you.
Yes! Please retreat. I'll manage here somehow.
Soooo Takumi's sword just exploded.
I'm down two characters, and still no sign of Shirou!
And to make matters worse, there's a new, extra-powerful Shadow to take down...
OK, keep it cool. I still have plenty of powerful characters left...
This is... His world... Eh...
No, that's wrong... This is my world...
I see... Because he has it, I have it. That's only natural.
...
...My heart's trembling.
Amazing... Too amazing... This is my power.
His deals were mine... to train your will to be like iron... and it became iron.
An ordinary man trying to fulfill his ideals at any cost...
...Aaaaaaahhh...
In a desolate plain with the swords... I stood there alone.
A chant to call that world.
---Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.
---I have created over a thousand blades.
Unaware of loss.
Nor aware of gain.
---Withstood pain to create many weapons.
Waiting for one's arrival.
...
---I have no regrets. This is the only path.
But...
---My whole life was...
[ BGM - Shirou ]
I don't want that world!!
That's right... This is good... A small happy world with Sakura...
It's enough to have a world where Sakura can smile!!
That's what I'll create!!
Even if it means throwing away my ideals!
Abandoning my ideals...
...And achieving my dream!
...
...Uuu...
Rin!
Saber, step back. I'm here!
Shirou-kun... You're a bit late.
My apologies.
As payment, I'll open the path out.
But...
Please let me.
...
I understand.
My turn! Sakura's tainted curse, disappear!!
LET'S RUMBLE
RIDER, SHOW THEM YOUR FULL POWER
FUCK YEAH
TOUKO, YOU'RE UP NEXT
REPRESENT
Shirou has been completely revamped, with a new set of Spirit abilities and a Special Skill that makes him basically fucking invincible.
FINISH HIM
MAP CLEAR
Battle Mastery annihilated!
Shirou is back to us, and better than ever!
Nine Lives Blades Works. His new spell is his proof that he's not the same person as Archer anymore.
But our heroes aren't so lucky!
Takumi is without his sword, and Haruna's fallen into a coma...
To be continued!
