Salvation, part 3

Possession

=======================

"Rin... you..."

Hm?

Oh, he must have realized it by now.

"Yes? Something bothering you, Archer?"

Just stay casual about it. Not like she had anything to be ashamed of, after all this time.

He'd enjoyed certain aspects of that condition in other timelines, anyway. Or at least, copies of him had.

Like the way he was staring in awe at her presence in the light of this world's moon; open sky really was a better background to have behind her when he looked up, like a proper Servant.

Getting him to come around would be as simple as-

-------------------------------------

This wasn't a simple fight; she shouldn't have expected it to be, really.

After all, knowing his tactics and weapons by heart was completely different from having him actively trying to kill her.

Regeneration complete, move to the left.

Correction, leap to the left; Broken Phantasm-

Caliburn

- roll with the detonation after touching down twenty feet away, at destination.

Then she spread her crimson cloak to prepare her counterattack...!

--------------------------------------

She... did that.

To do this.

This, this, what was this?

"What did you do, Rin?"

Just say it, Emiya.

Come on, you know what she did.

Why she did it, given the view beneath her tattered cloak she was giving and- whoa.

You just won't accept it.

It's been so long-

no time at all

- that it simply cannot be.

Tohsaka Rin would not do the impossible. It went entirely against how she thought.

--------------------------------------

In a universe of infinite instances and possibilities, anything and everything can happen, might happen, will happen, has happened.

Except what she was seeking to do now, of course, if she could just avoid getting skewered again-

ask for consent, you bastard!

- before the right moment.

Four dozen blades, no magical properties.

Irrelevant, but distracting as she avoided most, rolled with the one that drove itself into her shoulder in a futile effort to slow her down.

His attacks were getting faster, each barrage more frequent.

They weren't even near the mountain anymore, which was good.

Finding another spot for the ritual would-

Focus!

- probably get her killed if she kept thinking about it like this.

-----------------------------------------------------

"Are you going to keep staring all day, Archer? I don't recall giving you permission."

Not that she minded; was that a smile still on her face?

Yeah, probably.

"Come on already, we need to move before the overpowered humans in this world decide we stick out."

Oh, you don't like that I'm ignoring your questions?

Sucks, doesn't it?

---------------------------------------------

He was going to get the answers out of her if he had to bend her over his knees and smack it out of her!

"Rin, this is serious: what did you fucking do?!"

He was just going to keep standing there, looking up, until she-

She was walking away.

What the hell, Rin?

---------------------------------------------

Fine.

Fine, she'd talk.

He wasn't any fun when he thought something was seriously wrong with what she did.

"I brought you home; that's what you wanted, after all."

Now come on, this wasteland was lonely without the company.

...

If she were that purple head she'd met through the Mage's Assocation so long ago, whatever her name was, she'd have probably said something about how predictable Archer was. In statistical analysis.

Because really, it was.

He was just standing back there, stumped at the implications.

----------------------------------------------

She had to think faster.

No, not faster, had to think more things at once.

She could not do that, herself-

Left, left, back, right, leap over

- so she'd have to cheat.

A lot.

"Brechen."

And-

-----------------------------------

Archer held his head in pain, almost collapsing to his knees.

-static-

A-Ah.

Too many memories. Too many that weren't his own, while he was dealing with his own.

Focus.

Focus.

I am the bone of my sword.

So he could endure that.

-----------------------------------------

Maybe she was being a little too harsh, after all this time?

It was a lot to take in.

Oh, such a softy, Tohsaka.

"Look, fine, we'll stop here. Just grab onto me."

Or, better yet, she'll just grab him-

...

Aaah, warm.

Just like she remembered.

----------------------------------

He started, a little, before turning his eyes up to his Master.

The brief flash of red was more than a trick of the light.

...

That should bother him more than it did.

"You're... ack... such a slave driver, Rin."

Oh, look, a rock to sit on, right next to him.

-----------------------------------

"I saved your soul, so I get to drive you however I want!"

Push!

Like that.

Oh, come on, you big baby, it's just a little stone.

"You've gone through worse, anyway."

And so had she, so...

-----------------------------------

...

Okay, she really must have done something, because this was insane.

She was a vampire. And unless the memory contagion was lying to him about her age, she'd been one for longer than any Rin he'd ever known had been alive.

And she was sitting on his lap- fuck.

What was he, Santa Claus?

"Damnit, Rin. Look, just... you're doing this to distract me, aren't you?"

-----------------------------------

"It's working, so yes."

Hm.

Yes, this was a good seat. Hm.

Oh, you're so confused, Archer! You'd have pushed me right off if you were in your right state of mind. Or responded more often, for that matter.

"So, in order of your questions: Yes, you're really, really out of the Throne. Yes, I had to become a Dead Apostle to find the time to pull it off. And yes, I'm planning on eating you later."

In more than one way.

Not all of it, cause that would defeat the point-

----------------------------------

...

Damnit, Rin!

That took all of the righteous indignation out.

Such as it had been.

"And you did all that... why?"

...

Why did he feel like she'd sat on him like this before?

-----------------------------------

Her face went expressionless, at that.

Because it was by far the dumbest question she'd ever heard him ask.

And she'd heard a lot of dumb questions from various Archer instances over the eons.

"If you look at your memories long enough, you'll know the answer to that."

But, she'd help him out, just for a moment...

There. Caught his eyes.

-----------------------------------

His target's movements were getting faster, now.

No, not faster; there was no measurable increase, she was just reacting better.

No matter. He was getting enough support to keep this up for several hours longer, if need be.

Much as he hated doing any of this at all-

------------------------------------------

Ah, so enough of Archer was there behind the Counter Force's domination to hesitate.

That was the thought that went through the mind of one instance of Tohsaka Rin.

A dozen others flowed through the gaps in the shattered kaleidoscope, each focusing on analyzing an equal number of battle strategies and scenarios for this very occasion.

Pure defensive focus.

Another dozen were focused on offense, on how best to utilize what little terrain existed in the dust-filled wasteland that had once been Fuyuki's outskirts, the flexible sapphire lattice of her cloak from that hypertechnological dimension she'd stumbled upon, and the folded space pocket further within that containing her many hundreds of charged jewels.

It was all one mind, focused on one line of cognition, spread across the many worlds.

Zelretch hadn't taken the Multi-Dimensional Refraction Phenomenon in this direction, before she'd lost contact with the one she'd known personally. Usually it was just energy, physical objects.

So she asked herself, what if she could make her mind work in parallel by using the Operation of Worlds to outsource cognition to other Tohsaka Rins?

----------------------------------------------

"... you are crazy, woman."

Oh, she had to smirk. His response had such an obvious sentiment behind it!

If she were a thousand years younger, she'd have blushed harder than she was.

Still, she wasn't done.

Hands on the side of face, keep looking into his eyes.

----------------------------------------

Perfected Psychic Prism.

Between all of the possibilities, she found the ideal one in the fraction of a second before Caladbolg II would have shredded her apart completely.

Apparently this involved letting it happen, in mid air, so it would go right through her and explode somewhere behind her that wasn't her actual body.

Fuck, that hurt.

But it was only pain. Regeneration was still intact, and there were no clouds to obscure the full moon's light, so she had no reason to worry about the complete loss of most of her torso.

It was the part where she fell to the ground and had to roll around a bit while her body healed, during which time EMIYA had so thoughtfully decided she needed a shower of steel, that was the main problem.

Only one mind had to put up with the agony, so, still no issue.

-------------------------------------------------

"Okay, I'm not getting how watching me damn near kill you, from multiple perspectives, is supposed to help."

Was she just showing off?

Because it was coming off like that, for him.

What kind of twisted personality did this older, inhuman Rin have?

-------------------------------------------

How uncreative.

"You'll have to internalize that memory eventually! So I figured I would help it along. Plus, it has the answer to your most important question, at the end."

Oh yes, feel nervous from her smile.

It was that kind of smile.

Oh, and he wasn't even fighting the way she just leaned right up against him, soaking up all the warmth in the ridiculous chill of the Land of Steel at night?

Success!

Even if she had to guilt him to stop bitching to achieve it.

Such a bad Servant.

-------------------------------------------

Okay, maybe abusing regeneration wasn't the smartest thing she could have done.

Taunting, too, wasn't very smart.

She'd been just about to get close enough to engage him in medium ranged combat, where her attacks could actually hit him back.

Remove last of swords, then time for a new plan.

...

And just in time. Shit!

---------------------------------------------------

A monotone echoed through the wastes.

"Unlimited Blade Works."

For his target was finally in range.

Surely, she knew what she was asking for with this?

The fire replaced one wasteland with another, cutting off the Dead Apostle that this Rin had become from the source of her exceedingly efficient regeneration.

No more of that.

Now the entire world was her enemy.

---------------------------------------------

Operation of Parallel Worlds.

It may have been her Servant's world, inside his soul, but it was still a world.

She could still step through the kaleidoscope's many doors, and-

Twenty.

Fourty.

Sixty.

Two hundred and eighty seven-

Every step towards the center of this world, where Counter Guardian EMIYA would be, was a trial of endurance against the relentless assault of noble phantasms.

One she sidestepped completely by simply not being there.

Ah, the burn in her circuits from shifting in and out of this world like that.

She wouldn't be able to keep that up for very long.

Ah, she couldn't do it this second, so-

She swung the gem sword wide, annihilating the first layer of the curtain of steel rain that came from above in a wave of purest light!

---------------------------------------------

She could feel his disapproval already. Damaging herself when her regeneration was already being limited?

Probably the only thing keeping him from disrupting her concentration was the reality of her sitting on top of him, focusing.

That, or maybe he just liked the amber look for her eye color?

Too bad she only had that with Mystic Eyes of Enchantment.

At least they were almost at the good part.

----------------------------------------

Then she did it again, only for the one possibility that her mind hadn't accounted for to counter it.

A far greater pillar of light, tearing through his own inner world, through her assault, and only her dimension shifting kept it from obliterating her right on the spot.

He couldn't do that!

Emiya Shirou could not use that blade!

Period!

What the fuck was this shit?!

-----------------------------------------

... was he smirking at her?

She couldn't restrain herself from smacking him for that, disrupting concentration for both of them.

"Asshole. That wasn't funny!"

-----------------------------------

He'd used a lesser imitation of the Sword of Promised Victory on her.

Hell yes, it was funny.

He was laughing right now, see?

Laughing so very, very much, even if her half-hearted slap felt like she'd hit him with a baseball bat without the shattered head part.

"Ahaha- ow, haha... oh, wow. Just... no, no, keep going. I want to see how you got out of that one, before my mind tries to tear itself- *snerk* - apart again assimilating the rest."

-------------------------------------

She had mistaken his moderated use of prana as a sign of that Alaya could not provide him with sufficient extra energy for those kind of attacks.

That, by far, was her greatest.

The reality marble would not fall, now, unless she won.

And in a few moments, he'd be ready to fire that attack off again.

At least he didn't have the output capacity to retrace all of those noble phantasms again, even in here, but the sheer volume of nameless weapons would be enough to slow her down for the next-

Excalibur.

Destroying his own soul with collateral damage simply to get at her?

...

Admittedly, his soul's own sword raining tactics were irrelevant in comparison to the benefit of severing her from the moon.

So the damage was irrelevant, as long as his lesser mimicry of Excalibur was insufficient to collapse it.

Another assault, which she was forced to shift through yet again.

And besides, this was only a copy, it was replaceable.

In a few seconds she'd have her gem sword charged enough to challenge something like this.

And it wasn't costing him a thing to keep it going, because there was no Gaia to assault the innate bounded field from without.

But she wasn't losing much energy in the exchange, either; her cloak made efficiency a non-issue.

She'd only used two dozen of the jewels in her folded space to defend herself with in this place, for those seconds when she couldn't get the gem sword charged fast enough and couldn't afford to burn her circuits at that instant to shift into a parallel world and back again.

...

Worse, she was getting hungry.

---------------------------------------------

"Have I mentioned how ridiculously overpowered you are, before?"

She had, but she wanted him to remember it.

Remember her telling him that.

Remember how she'd mentioned it along the lines of rage, terror, and in one particularly noteworthy case-

---------------------------------------

"You really weren't lying; I did get the best Servant."

...

Curse you, Tohsaka Rin, for putting him in this position.

"J-Just get back to the fight, okay?"

Crazy, sexy vampire witch.

---------------------------------------

As if the part she'd reminded him off, breaking up the fight a little, wasn't the best part.

Hah.

---------------------------------------

He couldn't use the sword at this close range; attempting to charge it would just result in getting his head taken off.

Just how she wanted it.

You know, after her eyes stopped being filled with spots from the combined light of the gem sword and his pseudo-Excalibur.

That part was-

Merodach.

A-Ah...

Took her right arm.

The one with her Crest.

Okay, not so easy. But...

That was fine. She could free up her left, fold the gem sword into her pocket with the other jewels-

And let go of all control.

-------------------------

His target's eyes were like rubies.

The control must be slipping again, if he had time to do anything other than analyze her-

-------------------------

-right up into his guard, before he could discard the ur-sword of kingship properly.

Leg sweep, elbow up into the chin.

There was only the battle lust, now.

A thousand fractal variations of Tohsaka Rin's mind, entirely focused on how to take a Counter Guardian apart with her body alone.

The jeweled mesh fabric beneath the exterior of her cloak threw an extra grind into that one.

Ahh, she caught some of his blood on her tongue that time!

No, no, not that kind of lust. Keep focused.

-------------------------------------

Recalculating.

This body is made of swords.

-------------------------------------

...

Okay, he would very carefully forget the part where Rin was getting turned on by that.

Very carefully.

Right.

--------------------------------

How dare he make her bleed back?

She'd have to return the favor again.

Only, now she was punching a body of blades, rather than skin and gristle.

...

That just meant she had to peel him open like a clam, first.

Ignoring her own agony, she continued to pummel him.

Ignoring how his inner world responded, skewering her yet again.

-------------------------------------------------------------

And then his Master qualified for Berserker, too.

...

A tidy reminder not to piss her off when she was damn near curled up on his lap.

But where was the part she kept alluding to-

-----------------------------------------------------

"Vereinigen"

And her rage-filled mind ceased its parallel operation, just as the gem she'd forced herself to focus on long enough to drive into his chest was punched right in-!

The detonation damn near destroyed her other arm, too.

And the slight damage that close to his core was enough to collapse the Reality Marble.

...

Ah.

She had her hand on it.

The core anchoring him here, her nails sinking right in now that the hole in his metallic body made it vulnerable.

--------------------------------------

This memory...

Oh, yes.

Yes, yes, yessss....

Now he'd see why she'd done this.

And they could get past this silly guilt complex about her existence, about her motives.

Now-

---------------------------------

"... you're mine again, Emiya Shirou."

The hollow puppet of Alaya fell, and already she could feel her body regenerating beneath the moon's light.

In her hand she finally had it.

The last key she needed for the ritual.

Her magic kept his heart from stopping, from fading away with the rest.

Kept any droplet of blood from seeping out.

"I won't settle for a copy, Archer; why would I wait all this time just for that?!"

She could feel her own smile, stained red, stretch across her face.

Ahh...

"I won't let her keep any of you, Archer. I'm your only Master."

Yessss.

This was it.

"Watch me. You'll remember, when I finally get you back."

-----------------------------

She was talking to him.

The him that she was sitting on now, in the present.

She'd known enough about how this would go to make this kind of statement.

...

He didn't know whether to be horrified by this.

-----------------------------

And then her teeth were right in his torn out heart, drinking deep.

Filling her body with such burning fluid she could have lived a thousand times over!

It took all the willpower she had left after letting herself get lost in that lust to avoid falling to her knees.

The blood of the Counter Guardian, when the bond to Alaya was strongest.

Flowing through her.

Now she would be able to cut that bond.

"That's right, Archer... hehehehe. My Servant, and mine alone."

-----------------------------------------

"R-Rin, you-"

And then she didn't let him respond, because the words were lost in the press of her hungry lips.

===============================================

... man what kind of creepy binge was I on when I wrote this?

Um, apparently vampire Rin is ... just a little yandere.

Just a tad. Also really long post.

I hope my own creepy doesn't spell bad things for Elf's opinion of this.

As for the translations of foreign terms... bad german:

brechen: break, refract

vereinigen: unite, combine

[Lycodrake]

...I'm not entirely sure what happened...did Rin apparently rip out Shirou's heart to use as the catalyst or something?

[Aiden]

...I'm not entirely sure what happened...did Rin apparently rip out Shirou's heart to use as the catalyst or something?

She ripped it out and ate it, if I didn't make that clear enough.

Edit: More specifically, she ate the heart of the Counter Guardian EMIYA she was fighting.

[ItsaRandomUsername]

[George Takei]

OH MY

[/GEORGE TAKEI]

[Laith]

As I have said before, Yanyan~ love is best love.

[Lycodrake]

She ripped it out and ate it, if I didn't make that clear enough.

Edit: More specifically, she ate the heart of the Counter Guardian EMIYA she was fighting.

Ah, okay. I knew that she ate his heart...just not sure how it would act like a catalyst, though. *shrugs*
Either way. Interesting DA or DAA Rin here, Aiden. Nice job. The yandere was a nice (?) touch.

[ItsaRandomUsername]

omnomnom yandere

[Lycodrake]

omnomnom yandere

Rin did say she'd eat him all up. Innuendo aside. XP

[Nacho the Doritosedge]

Aiden.

I have no crazy or silly comments for this. No 'I want your babies' or 'ZOMG WTF AMAZING'.

Because your awesome has killed me.

So, as I lay dying here, my last words are this: Keep writing, my friend, keep... Writing... Yandere... Rin...

*Dies*

[Fafnir]

Manaka, get out of Rin. O____o

[Lycodrake]

And then all Aiden's life was Unlimited Yandere Rin Works.


@Fafnir: You leave Manaka alone. ;_;

[RadiantBeam]

Manaka, get out of Rin. O____o

Too late. She was always there.

Also, on the drabble itself:

Oh, my. Rin likes it rough.

[Aiden]

Yeah.

2000 years will make you weird.

2000 years focused on a single goal?

Hooooh boy.

2000 years focused on a single goal that requires breaking the universe over your knee?

Then, you get this Rin.

[Santo]

She ripped it out and ate it, if I didn't make that clear enough.

I got the weirdest boner at that part...

Still, the drabble was glorious.

[Lycodrake]

Yeah.

2000 years will make you weird.

2000 years focused on a single goal?

Hooooh boy.

2000 years focused on a single goal that requires breaking the universe over your knee?

Then, you get this Rin.

Yandere DA or DAA Rin makes Alaya her bitch?

[Aiden]

DAA, I'll just say at this point, so you'll stick to one abbreviation.

[Lycodrake]

DAA, I'll just say at this point, so you'll stick to one abbreviation.

Ah alright. I'm guessing she either beat Zelretch, or got took one of the others 26 spots?
...oh dear, Sumire might've wanted her as a drinking buddy. That's actually...mildly scary.

[Aiden]

Slacker

=================

"Noooooo, Anthy, you idiot! You don't do that kind of thing to girls you want to sleep with!"

It was just a normal day in the Matou household.

The sound of a bag being pulled open, the crunching of chips between teeth.

An anime going in the living room.

"Girl, get down here so we can do the experiments properly this time!"

And the only girl who lived in the house ignoring her stinky, fun-hating grandfather.

She had Revolutionary Girl Utena to watch today! It was almost at the ending!

"... boy, go get your sister."

Ask anyone in Fuyuki, and they would tell you:

Matou Sakura was the most unmotivated person in the universe.

------------------------

His stupid, lazy, good for nothing sister was making grandfather pissed off at him for not reining her in properly.

Again.

No matter how many times he raped her, she just kind of... rolled with it.

For some insane reason.

Why the hell would this girl not break?

Or even cry, a little? Crying would at least boost his self-esteem.

...

But today would be different.

Today, Matou Shinji was going to put a bitch in her place.

--------------------------------------

...

How did he end up like this?

Sitting on the couch, watching anime.

With his sister.

What the fuck?

It had all started with a single question: What is so important about watching this that you can't spare a few hours to be hollowed out into a husk by worm rape like a normal girl, huh?

And his sister had the most simple answer possible:

"Because then I'd miss my shows."

She sighed.

"Brothers are so stupid sometimes..."

So he'd started watching with her, just to see what the big deal was.

Then he saw a character he could empathize with.

This brilliant man, Akio.

He was so... so... man, he had his sibling tamed good!

He had to take notes from this guy!

But it really made him wonder about something.

"You... don't mind watching this kind of thing?"

His sister just popped another chip into her mouth, and without bothering to swallow first, answered.

"Nope."

More chips.

-----------------------------------

After that?

Seeing her rewind the tape so he could see that part he'd missed?

That was cool.

The way Anthy just... yes. Take that you uppity, lesbian pink head!

"Okay. Now I'm inspired."

Off came the pants.

-----------------------------------

...

Nii-san was going to try that again, huh.

Sigh.

Well, there went her next ten minutes.

Twenty, if you counted the inevitable yelling and screaming that came after.

But when it became clear that, once again, he wasn't having the effect he desired, he just gaped, and asked with this broken, shaky little smile, what was wrong.

"... you're doing it wrong."

------------------------------------

What.

WHAT.

What the fuck?!

Was... was she criticizing his performance?

This was supposed to be a rape, not something she was grading for competency.

------------------------------------

"Well, I mean, if you're going to get inspired by a character to try new things, you could... you know... at least do it right? Maybe?"

Admittedly, she'd have preferred if he'd, well, not been a guy, too.

Then she might not mind the whole 'break and be my mindless pet' thing and cooperated a bit more.

Given some tips, perhaps.

...

Well, we couldn't always get what we wanted out of life.

Oh, was he crying?

Hehe.

Oh well, good thing she'd recorded the last episode!

==========================================

Blame Radiantbeam.

Blame her so hard.
