(You can skip this, it's not really important) AN - Who needs to genderbend a character when the game does it for you? Anyway I discovered this game a... couple months ago? And overall I enjoy it a lot and just like my fanfics the MC is genderbent! So I decided to not only write this story of a game I enjoy, I also decided to slap my boy Shirou in it! The mans got an infamous ex rank skill called Eroge Protagonist EX! I refuse to believe anything else - well, I will if you make me feel embarrassed at myself and if literally everyone else disagrees with me - and I am most likely wrong but I can dream damn it! I can DREAM!!!

Summary and title may also be changed at some point, not guaranteed though.

Random Update on my mood - My luck is absolute garbage and I've been pulling all nighters everyday, not like when I'm writing noo it was, is,like my life absolutely depended on it for multiple days just for the ruler waifu just to have someone spit on my face and tell me I meant nothing, everything was for nothing, I wasted my time for nothing, I could of had at least three chapters already up by now. Goodbye waifu I will never be able to even interact with for I will now go cry in a corner and feel like utter shit for the rest of the month. I just can't. This must sound ridiculous because it's also a gacha game right?

Shameless Self Adcertisment(?) - Anyway I have three more story's I want to publish and they are already in the works, if you like my writing maybe you should check them out, Shirou will definitely be in them - I love the dude - and since they probably won't be out for a while you, chief, get to know about them first.

First one is a genderbend crossover - oh boy, I don't even know how I fell into that hole - about Is It Wrong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon.

Second one will be about fire emblem awakening. I'm not sure if it counts as a genderbend, hol' up... just got an idea of genderbending Chrom... I... I think I am now one sick bastard and you will all hate me for what I'm going to do. May god or whatever being have mercy on my soul.

Third one is about a game I loved but forgot about since it's been a while then remembered at some random night while going to sleep, Hyperdimension Neptuina, got great waifu's, great gameplay, just the right amount of rng, and mwah, great story. I like to think so at least. Just to let you know this will probably last for all of the neptuina games.

I'll probably stop with the new story's for a bit and get a few chapters out on some of my newer story's then I'll probably make more since I am rather forgetful and don't want to forget about the ideas I may or may not continue.

Day One - A fly lurks in my room. It refuses to leave. Maybe it seeks vengeance. I must leave now, I can see it lurking in the dark waiting to strike. May the light guide me.

With that here is the song i was vibing to the most while writing this, Milet- Tell Me. Found this in Fate/GO, it made me cry and have an eargasm listening to both of the enuma elish at the same time. Definitely one of Fate/GO's better episodes.

Chapter 1 - Life Changing Events

The world as people knew it was not only technologically advanced, it too was also super naturally advanced as well. They progressed together as if they were holding hands, neither of the two falling too far behind the other as they kept evolving.

Of course the remarkable supernatural powers were controlled by six major nations known by everyone. The supernatural power was called Substance H, or as the more common people called it, 'The Divine Touch.'

Substance H is still a mystery and contains many secrets many want to discover, so as research on Substance H progresses, "The Divine Touch" becomes more powerful as it is more researched.

Soon a problem presented itself, it was known as war. Since all six major nations all had Substance H they didn't want to risk a war with each other and cause an unpredictable amount of damage to the world itself. The problem itself was easily solved as they signed a peace treaty between the six nations.

As a result of this peace treaty, all capitals in each of the six nations were renamed to Academy City and they only focused on one thing. Research. Modern science once suggested that certain individuals can resonance with Substance H and control it's powers when provided a specific mediums.

Some, for example, are Witches which are widely known throughout the world. Their mysterious powers come from Substance H, though it was also once known as Catalyst.

—————————————————————————

Today was the day, the day for what you may ask? Well today was the day he went to visit the Steele Monte Collection. It was also know as the Research Center in the Fifth Academy City. Today he woke up nice and earlier than his best friend Shirou Emiya - he believed so at least - and was already beating the whatever laziness he had out of him.

To explain his current situation, he was sharing the same apartment or building if you will, with his best friend. It all started from the day before the two best friends met, at least he thought so. One day during the school there was already news about a new transfer student arriving during the semester. This of course soon reached his ears and had his attention.

Few days later and said transfer student arrived into his class with the school uniform and noticeable auburn hair with golden-brown eyes. The teacher told him to introduce himself to the class and he did, something that he would remember forever as their first meeting before their friendship. He could remember it as clear as day, well, he couldn't but he still remembered it some of it.

"Hello, I am Shirou Emiya, if you need any help please, come to me."

Thinking back at it now it was awfully short from what he could remember, it didn't really describe him as a person except he would help people when asked. It turned out he was at the same time wrong and right. He was wrong at the fact that he would help people when asked. He was also right that he would help people but he took it too another level. He would actively seek out people from time to time and ask if they needed help, if they didn't he would move on.

He even helped the school and the staff also! When there was a damage in a pipe, he fixed it. When there was a teacher having a hard time, he helped solve the problem. When they were understaffed? Shirou would be your man as he was smarter than the rest of his peers and would help them with anything and make it much easier for them. It was also how he earned his nickname as the "fake school janitor."

It was because of this that the two best friends met. One day Ren was just having an awful week and it was starting to show on his grades. Like an angel, Shirou at the moments notice swept in and helped him through the hard time and they eventually hit it off from there.

Which now led to them living together. Ren wasn't really financially stable at the moment and once again Shirou took notice of this and invited him to live at his own house! Like, come on! He's only like, a year older and he already owns a house and lives by himself!? Ren took a devastating blow knowing that Shirou could take care of himself while he couldn't even have a stable income of money.

Back to reality though, he soon noticed the oh so sweet smell of food. Well, he didn't wake up earlier than Shirou, but at least he woke up to the smell of food like he did every day.

Getting ready for the day before heading off with Shirou, he soon walked out of the door with a goal of devouring all of the food that Shirou would make for the both of them. It was mostly for him though and Shirou just didn't see why people loved his food so much. He at least knew he was a very skilled chef but didn't know why people enjoyed his food to such an extent that some people began calling him the god of foods.

Ren was of course greeted with the sight of food, but Shirou was still making the rest as he could clearly see the figure he identified as Shirou, was working in the kitchen. They usually ate at the same time but Ren didn't see the harm in eating before Shirou so he sat down and began eating his share of food.

Soon on his second plate Shirou came with three more plates of food, two for Ren and one for Shirou, and set them down wordlessly and began eating like Ren, but at a much slower pace instead of devouring the food.

Ren looked at Shirou and gave and a 'thanks' though it could barely be said as his mouth was full of food.

"So." Shirou began, "What's got you waking up earlier than usual?"

Ren put down his last plate of food filling full and gave Shirou a long stare, "Did you really forget what was suppose to happen tomorrow?"

When he heard those words Shirou was soon in thought and searched through his mind for an answer, "I... think I did?" It was more of a question.

Ren in response slumped in his chair and put both of his hands on his face, "How could you forget?" It was also times like these that Ren felt like Shirou would overwork himself way too much, "This is a big event planned by our school to go to the Steele Monte Collection! We even have a lecture that's suppose to happen there too!"

Shirou finally remembered and continued to eat his food, "Huh, so that's what got you so tensed lately."

"Oh." The raven haired boy was flustered at the moment, "I didn't think you would noticed." The main reason for Ren to feel tense as of lately was that this was a rather big grade that would affect everyone's grade in a way, he hoped his was in a good way. It was further made worse when Ren was an otaku and felt a bit self conscious about messing everything up.

"It wasn't that hard when I noticed you in your thoughts more often and it usually happens when you feel like something bad usually happens."

This just showed how much Shirou actually knew about him to such an extent. It made him kinda freak out that someone knew him to so much and at the same time it didn't since they would always hang out together.

"Hmm." Shirou soon hummed and took a moment before speaking again, "It's still early in the morning so you probably have to wait for a few more hours before we go there. Why don't you try and decompress and get that out of your mind?"

He was right, it was still early in the morning and they had a few more hours left which meant he had some extra time to sleep and hope his worry's would fade away. Don't get him wrong though, he usually didn't feel so tense about grades but when said grades could dramatically increase, it was a different matter. Especially since the teacher kept emphasizing on it.

Standing back up he went back into his room and jumped into bed and decided to get a few hours of sleep before going to the Steele Monte Collection. His eyes soon began to close and the darkness of sleep greeted him. No blinding sun to blind him, no birds chirping constantly that would annoy him to no ends, no distractions to impede him. It was just him and good old silence.

—————————————————————————

He woke up for the second time of day and slowly got up from bed, his clothes disheveled most likely from him moving around too much in bed and his black hair in it's classic style while his eyes were it's usually light somewhat orangish color. Overall he looked pretty normal. But he didn't let that stop him as he soon put on his short sleeved hoodie in the colors of white, orange, and dark blue, the colors were separated by an orange line that started at the bottom and met midway at the zipper, the color white was on the top of the hoodie while the dark blue was on the bottom of the hoodie.

After taking some time looking at himself in the mirror with his hoodie on, his attention soon went to the black t-shirt that could be seen through the unzipped hoodie with the letter 2 in a light blue color directly in the middle. He finished off the look with a pair of black shorts and shoes.

With his clothes on his person he went to the door and turned the knob, an audible 'click' was heard and he pulled it open and was greeted with the familiar walls of Shirou's house.

Now all he had to do was get Shirou and they were off, which was easier than expected as he was already in the living room of the house they shared. "Nice sleep?" Shirou stood up and gave a small grin.

Ren gave a yawn and covered it was his hand, "You know it."

"If that's it then are you ready?"

At the words he visibly stopped himself from opening three front door and leaving. He wasn't ready and went to grab his wallet which contained his money, or rather Shirou's which he gave him saying he needed it more than him so he accepted the money.

Coming back he gave a smile, "Now I'm ready." Shirou gave him a nod and the two were soon off to the Steele Monte Collection.

—————————————————————————

Ren had his eye near a device with a red light glowing inside of it, "Login Successful!" A voice was soon heard from it, "ID: 2519G1911 Name : Ren Kugimiya Age: 15 Gender: Male" with that done Ren soon backed up so Shirou could also verify himself.

Shirou leaned forward and his head pointing to the left a bit to show more of his right eye. Soon the same response showed up, "Login Successful! ID: 3632S3514 Name: Shirou Emiya Age: 16 Gender: Male"

With that done the voice spoke again, " Welcome to the Steele Monte Collection and Research Center in the Fifth Academy City, the largest Substance H collection and research center in New Opulentia. Substance H, a.k.a. the Divine Touch, is a general term for items and tools that activate supernatural phenomena at certain conditions."

The voice took a pause as they both let the information sink in until it continued again, "On this Open Day, The Collection and Research Center is open to the public and other Academy Cities. As an important public awareness initiative, we will present some Divine Touches and research results..."

Ren soon spoke up, "Lucky! We managed to get here before closing time, right Shirou?!" He couldn't help it, but he energetically asked Shirou holding his phone above his head, a game was visible on it.

Shirou gave a small sigh yet still smiled, "We were lucky that we got here before closing time with you getting lost along the way."

Ren sheepishly scratched his cheek and steered the conversation somewhere else, he coughed, "So, why are all these elevators in the lobby out of service?"

Shirou looked behind them and into the lobby were said elevators were, "You think I would know why it happened?"

They kept walking until they found a freight elevator that wasn't out of service like the rest, "Y-your right," he soon coughed to avoid anymore voice cracks from happening, "Luckily this freight elevator is still working at least."

There were a few more thing he had to do while here though and it was getting a stamp on a lecture paper to finally get some school credits. Unlike Shirou he didn't have the best grades and would sometimes try to get all the credit he could and try his best on some assignments.

Soon enough the two friends began to realize something and Ren spoke of it, "Wait... why is there no one on this floor?" It was true, not a single soul in sight could be seen. It was just the two of them in the eerily silence. Shirou decided to keep quiet while Ren looked at him and noticed he was unexpectedly tensed.

They continued to walk in the corridor in silence as only the sound of there feet could be heard.

Ren looked around again, "generally," he noted to himself, "there weren't many visitors here, but... it shouldn't be this empty." Ren soon breathes in and noticed a heavy smell he knew of, "And that smell. It smells like disinfectant... could there be a deep cleaning happening?"

Uncomfortable silence was still upon them when Ren decided to look at Shirou and spoke, "Is the lecture already over?" He noticed that he drew Shirou's attention very quickly, as if he was on alert of something. He didn't know what that something could be.

Shirou soon looked away and answered his question, "No, the lecture shouldn't be over by now."

"Then let's look for the conference hall. Maybe they could be there." Turning around a corner of a spiral staircase, Ren went to search for the conference hall.

Soon though Ren noticed he lost a battle on his phone, "This sucks. I shouldn't be playing this video game..." Ren felt a curious look from Shirou and turned around to face him, "Hey! It's not my felt this continue button is addictive!"

"Uh-Huh." With that Shirou was soon in the front and Ren noticed a woman running towards the two and before he could ask for her help she grabbed Shirou roughly with her left hand and pressed him towards her chest holding his lower face, she then grabbed Ren with her right hand by his shoulder, dragging the both of them into a dark, narrow aisle at the corner of the staircase.

"Excu-" before Ren could finish speaking the woman soon was also covering the lower half of his face too.

In the corner of Ren's eye he could barely see the woman, but he noticed she wore a lab coat while she was leaning against the wall. He could also barely see Shirou and what he could notice, he was in between the woman's rather large chest. Not that there was anything wrong with large chest of course!

Soon he could barely breath and noticed Shirou was already struggling and he too joined in the struggle. "W-what! I... I can't breath! What's this woman doing!?"

The woman was already having a hard time holding the both of them while they both struggled and looking over the corner so she soon looked at the both of them and spoke in a hushed voice, "Hush! Be quiet! And stop moving around!" He noticed that the woman carried a sense of authority even as she spoke with her voice down but also noticed it was urgent.

Ren could barely think straight and he was suffocating, he could only stop and nod his head while Shirou had to look up at the woman for a few seconds before finally stopping.

Although Ren could barely breath he noted that the woman had a fragrance even while he was leaning against her shoulder. His neck didn't help since it was starting to hurt. He could still see Shirou and only had one thought in his mind while observing him more closely, "I bet his neck doesn't hurt..."

Ren was jealous at not the fact Shirou's face was in between her breast and was being pushed into them. No not that at all, it was because how his neck was angled at a more generous angle that wouldn't hurt his neck as much as his. Though he was probably already out of air in that position.

Besides Shirou's neck he could barely see a name tag which read 'Chief Scien-' it cut off from there but if he had to guess it probably read 'Chief Scientist.'

If it did read 'Scientist' he thought she worked at the center. Even if it wasn't true he had to ask himself this in his head.

Her head soon looks back past the corner and the sound of loud and hasty steps echoed throughout the corridor. A figure was soon revealed from the darkness as a man in protective gear with a mask covering his face and a... gun?

He then heard the man talk, "Sir, no one's here. But there is an independent freight elevator still working. I'll shut it down."

He soon heard the woman talk in a hushed voice, "This place has been captured. If you want to save your life than be quiet."

His heart was now racing at the thought, "Cap...captured!? What happened?! And you look even more dangerous!" Before they knew it the woman let both of them go and rushed past the corner. While getting some much needed air he soon saw Shirou following after her.

A few seconds later he could just barely hear their quiet voices, "What do you think your doing?" It was the woman's voice if he hazard a guess.

He then guessed that Shirou was the one to speak next, "I'm helping you." He spoon peaked over the corner and spotted them crouching behind near the man, but not close enough for him to hear them or see them. He also the Shirou's determined gaze.

"...Fine, just stay behind me if something happens." Ren saw that Shirou's mouth was already open and was halfway to telling her something - most likely no, he knew how much he would want to help or protect someone - but the woman was already running towards the man.

Hearing the sound of heels the armed man almost barely turned around but with the woman snapped his neck with an audible crunch that made Ren stagger while Shirou looked on as if his death could have been avoided.

Without a single word, she then catches his body before it hits the ground, dragged him off into an aisle, seizes his gun - pistol now that he could see it more clearly - and then opens a nearby switchgear cabinet and kicks the man into it limp brawny man into it with a thud.

If he had anything to say about this it would be that he was a bit repulsed at his death, and that she was also agile and energetic even while she was wearing a white shirt under her lab coat with a slim-fit skirt.

"Whew. It's all clear for the moment." She then dust of her hands as if she just dealt with an oversized trash and turns to Ren and Shirou with both relief and a little bit of annoyance because of Shirou.

His brain proceeds to stop working, his eyes fixated on her. "This...! This young lady! She looks absolutely beautiful! And that figure! Look at that figure! It's like she's a model!" He could now see her name tag in full and face more clearly, she had long red hair - almost like Shirou's - that went to the middle of her back with two long locks of red hair that reached her chest, each went past a shoulder, some part of her forehead was revealed to the left of her bangs and even had an ahoge that curved onto her bangs, "But, her name tag clearly reads 'scientist.' This must be some sort of illusion... scientist-turned martial artist or something."

His thoughts then roamed back to the brawny man inside of the switchgear cabinet. He felt secured, as if as long as she was here she would protect him. His eyes soon found itself upon her legs... "Wouldn't it be great to work with her... Substance H researcher must be an exciting job."

The woman saw his gaze, "Hey, boy, what are you looking at?" While she speaks she also unloads the gun and checks the bullets.

He couldn't fool himself any longer, she was too beautiful and cool for him, she was still waiting for him to speak. After not speaking for awhile Shirou speaks his thoughts "Who are you? And thank you."

The woman in the lab coat responds, "Me? Well. You can just call me Mariru. I was supposed to give some boring lecture today." With that said she skillfully loads the gun and puts it into her pocket. "But these gangsters hijacked the Conference Hall just now. So the lecture was cancelled... thank goodness." He was now concerned, a lecture mattered more than the conference hall being captured?

The two friends introduced themselves and decided against speaking about her lack of concern, "I'm Shirou Emiya." Shirou spoke up.

"And I'm Ren." He pointed to himself with his thumb.

But soon after hearing the name Of the lady in front of him, his brain started to put the pieces together, "Your... Mariru... Mariru Von Braun?" He brain than returned to the paper he had to get stamped, "You-you were supposed to stamp my paper! And your an SS-level scientist conferred by the senate!"

Shirou gave him an odd look and repeated after him, "SS-level scientist?"

Mariru looked at the switchgear cabinet, chuckled a bit, and then hummed, "Hmm, SS-level... Those old fools are gullible." She then looked back at him for a bit, "So... Your here just for the school credits, aren't you?"

Shirou looked at him as if he expected it, but didn't find anything wrong with it. For Ren though he started to feel nervous, "Y-yes...! I'm sorry!"

Mariru ignored his apology, "I don't know if you two have bad luck" Shirou nervously looked away, "or if it's stupidity..." she trailed off, "but finding the only in elevator upstairs in lockdown mode! But for me, I'm sure the two of you would've ended up In the Conference Hall.

Ren let the words 'lockdown mode' replay through his head and he checked his phone, "My phone really doesn't have a signal. Now I see why the all the elevators in the entrance where closed! It's not because The Center is closed, it's because The Center is in lockdown mode!"

Mariru looked at the freight elevator and spoke to herself, "Now this freight elevator is shut down, tch." She then looked at the both of them, "Stay here and wait for rescue by the defense ministry. I have to go now and check the conference hall. If anyone comes... Well, you know how to hide."

Shirou stayed quiet while Ren spoke up again, "But... you? Alone?"

"Understand?" Her voice suddenly had that same sense of authority.

He couldn't bring himself to say no, "Y-Yes ma'am!"

Shirou had a different response though and shook his head, "I can't let that happen." Mariru narrowed her orange eyes, "If they have the Conference hall and it has even more of them in there and you go by yourself..." he dragged off and looked directly into her eyes, "You would need help. And if more people are in there they also need help. I trust Ren can handle himself without me." At the mention of his name and the trust Shirou had in him, well, he couldn't help but feel some joy in the situation.

Mariru continued to stare into his eyes as Shirou did the same. She let out a long sigh, "Fine, but don't do anything stupid." She soon ran off and just before Shirou followed after her, he looked back at Ren and gave a nod. He returned the gesture.

As he watched them leave, Ren did as Mariru said, he hid in a hidden location some people would miss.

—————————————————————————

Ren didn't know how long he's been here with nothing happening around him. He made him nervous. What happened to Mariru and Shirou were one of his many thoughts as he hid. He then thought he heard something off in the distance.

He peeked past the corner from where he heard the sound to see if something or someone was there.

"It's been a while since their last reply. Go check on them-"

"Yes!"

Ren immediately hid when he heard two voices and when he saw two males in the same gear as the first one he had seen.

He heard the first voice he he heard from the two the man spoke again, "I'm gonna get a heartbeat detector. Stay vigilant!"

"Crap!" He couldn't hide his panic so he subconsciously spoke, "There's no where left to hide now! Their going to find me with that heartbeat thing!" There was no where to escape now for Ren, he couldn't just sneak away right under their noses, "I have no choice but to take one of them down when they separate." He did have other choices besides that one, but that was the only one that came to his mind. "Maybe I can do it... Just like the woman did with her bare hands..."

He couldn't do it with he bare hands alone and he knew it so he searched around. That's when he spotted it, a weapon. On the wall of the hallway was a baseball bat. He also saw a plate below it saying "Lebona's Light of Freedom..."

He knew that was his only chance even if it looked like an exhibit. He went to grab and and almost dropped it, "Oops, I almost dropped it. I uh, I'll borrow this." With the bat in both hands he went behind the man and prepared for an overhead swing of all of his strength. "Ok, you can do this, now! Go!" He hyped himself up before going for the swing.

BANG

With all of his strength he hit the man behind the head and grimaced, the bat was too loud and probably gave away his position.

But, he doesn't collapse as he had expected. Instead he slowly turned around and stared into his eyes with his own fiery eyes.

Only one thought crossed his mind at that moment, "Why couldn't this go like those plots like the games."

"Who the hell are you!?" The man wearing a balaclava swings his pistol grip towards him. Ren quickly try's to block, or parry in his thoughts, with the bat in his hands.

"Damn...!" The word slipped out of his mouth as the mans strength kept pouring downwards into the bat and into his hands and shoulder. While Ren was gritting his teeth he forgot his lower body was unprotected and payed the price.

"Ahh!" The man suddenly kicks him brutally with his foot, as he was kicked away he crashed into a fence and fell downstairs as he gave a cry of pain.

The man clicked his tongue in annoyance, "That damn brat! He ambushes me and attacks me from behind! Now he falls downstairs!? I'm gonna fucking finish the damn kid!"

"...I have to flee... I must... hide in... the shadows of the exhibit..."

"Yes sir!"

With that the two men went towards the direction of the Conference Hall where Shirou and Mariru were.

Ren was still conscious but was quickly losing his consciousness, "Need... To stay... Awake... Mariru... Shi... rou..."

—————————————————————————

Meanwhile at the Conference Hall with Mariru and Shirou.

"Damn it, looks like these guys sneaked in with optic disguises." Mariru spoke with her gun at the ready as she and Shirou were just barely looking over the corner to avoid being seen by the men. "They knew the anti-optic detectors in the Collection Center were partially shit down for maintenance. Likes like a mole is planted among us."

Shirou found this worrying, "Are you sure? Just because they sneaked in knowing the anti-optic thing was in maintenance doesn't exactly mean there's a mole."

Mariru briefly looked at Shirou and answered the question, "I'm sure. Our security is on 24/7 and we check the software often for any intrusions. It isn't the easiest the get access from the outside, but on the inside..."

Shirou hummed.

"The only thing is I can't figure out who they are... For now we can only wait."

They soon both saw a man in much more protective and darker gear compared to the rest, from his looks alone they could identify him as the leader of their group. He was searching around, for what? They didn't know.

He soon pulled out a goblet he found that contained an unidentifiable liquid, "Aha! Bravo!" He held it above his head, "Finally, it's back in our hands."

They both slightly stiffened at the sight, each for a different reason. For Mariru it was because she knew it as a Substance H that suddenly emerged on Ross Islands in the center of the Pacific Ocean when an expedition found it. For Shirou it was because it eerily reminded him of a holy grail.

Mariru spoke up in slight shock from what the man held, "The Ross Goblet!?" As the name suggested it was a goblet with four gemstones embedded into it with an unidentifiable liquid that could neither be touched nor be spilled some started to believe it was an illusion rather than anything physical. Because of it unknown nature and how it isn't dangerous the risk rating was lowered to 'safe' and was soon available for public research.

But no matter what anyone tried, no one could identify what the liquid inside of the goblet was.

Shirou's tensed shoulders began to relax at the name, but couldn't fully relax as something about it felt off, even if it probably wasn't the holy grail.

Mariru soon spoke in confusment, "Haw, only the gems seem valuable. But the gems and goblet are actually uniform at the molecular level. So it's impossible to..."

The masked and helmeted man spoke and unintentionally interrupted her musing, "Finally, now to split this filthy thing into parts. I shall do the honors!"

"Split? But it's impossible-" The man soon pulled out nail like object and approached it, "Isn't that the thing... the fourth nail that got stolen from the Hovering Palace Museum not too long ago." During the entire scenario, Shirou spoke not a word and his senses were now screaming at him to stop him.

"Hey!" Suddenly a voice called out from behind them and they saw two uniformed balaclava wearing men with their guns pointed at them. "On the ground, now! No other warnings! I'll count to five and you better be on the ground or else-" He clicked their safety on the gun off, "Splat."

They were now caught in a bad situation. The guy with the 'fourth nail' suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked up the stairs and towards them.

Mariru couldn't do anything if she didn't want to get shot. She could risk it and try to shot one of the three people, the black armored man or one of the two people with their guns trained onto them.

She gritted her teeth in frustration, the second man pointing his gun at him spoke up, "Hey, lady! My friend here ain't given' any more warnings. But I can make an exception for you if you put the gun down now and get down on the ground." She noticed his eyes drift downward and leered at her body.

The first man spoke up again but towards his 'friend,' "Shut the fuck up! We're on an important job and you can't stop thinking about sex for one damn second! Do you want to be payed or what!?"

"Fine, whatever. On the ground, now." The second lost his previous expression and was replaced by seriousness."

"Hey, you two!" The black armored ma called out towards his men, "Get it over with! I can't have any variables, I'll accept causalities now that we're so close."

"You heard the man, hostage or no?"

"I don't care about a hostage, we're close didn't you hear him!? just shot them!"

During this exchange Mariru's mind was racing and trying to formulate any type of escape but couldn't find any as more variables kept finding itself in the situation.

Shirou though noticed that the two briefly had their eyes of them and decided to strike, cautiousness didn't matter now, they were discovered and the many hostages down below were in jeopardy.

He spoke the familiar words he still knew of, "Trace, on."

The more aggressive one of the two men immediately heard him and turned back to him, "Are you praying or som- Gahh!"

It was too late.

They were too slow for Shirou.

And he was too fast for them.

With cold indifference in his now steeled eyes he striked at them and they were no longer a problem.

For Mariru this happened too quickly, one moment she heard Shirou speak two words she clearly heard as 'trace on' and the next moment he was briefly standing over two dead corpses.

And that's when everything went downhill. Everyone else saw this and trained their guns at the two and began too fire. The black armored man stood back in shock but immediately went back to work on the gem.

In the brief few seconds a thunk was heard among the gunfire.

"Dammit!" She soon noticed it looked oddly familiar, "Isn't that... the Prophets Holy Relic?" She soon saw the liquid in the goblet drain, "You Idiot!" Those were the few last words she was able to speak.

On Shirou's end he realized where the bullets were heading any his eyes weren't on the goblet but on Mariru. A large majority of the bullets found there paths directly towards her as the men immediately began firing before their guns even locked on Shirou.

The consequence for it was that Shirou would be unarmed if he dealt with the bullets in time. The thing was that he noticed Mariru had her gun loosely at her side as she screamed at the man - not that it mattered at the moment - and wouldn't be able to dodge in time.

He jumped in front of her, "What!?" He heard Mariru speak out in shock.

In the next few seconds he ignored her shock and had his mindset on one objective, protect her. "Rho Aias!" Seven pink petals made from light appeared in front of them and took the brunt of the damage. Seeing this the men were shocked and unloaded their entire clips into it.

The petals themselves barely took any visible damage. But everything just seemed to stop when a blinding white light was the only thing everyone saw.

—————————————————————————

Opening her eyes after seeing the blinding white light she was greeted with destruction, fire was every where, the building they were once in was absolutely destroyed and the sky was visible. And what she saw made her feel devastated, absolutely everything was destroyed, even the city.

Her mind drifted back to her savior and she looked in front of her to see Shirou standing stock still. Everyone besides her was standing stock still and even looked like statues.

She became worried for her savior and came up to him. "Hey... Don't tell me you died..." She was in front of him and saw his hand that was extended forward had it's sleeve ripped off and his expression. She felt... Sad... He was frozen in place with his eyes closed and a very small smile on his face.

And that damn Ross Goblet in the sky was the cause of everything.

Ren began to slowly open his eyes and was greeted with the smell of sulphur it also smelt salty too him. He grunted in pain as he grabbed his head and stood up as he noticed a floating object that radiated blinding light and because of it he couldn't make out it's shape. His eyes soon dilated at the scene in front of him. If he were to describe it it would be a living hell. "I'm... Dreaming...? Right? Just... What's going on?"

Ren looked around at the destruction and the sculptures of people that surrounded him, "This... must be a dream I suppose... What the heck is this all about?"

Amongst the sea of flames were a group of people still like sculptures, even their postures were lively and expressions were vivid, even the armed men pointing their guns somewhere in the distance were noticeable underneath their mask. But they didn't show the normal colors people have, they were all ghostly pale.

"H... How could this... Be possible...? No... What happened to these people? And where's Shirou and Ms. Mariru? Where are they?"

"Please! Someone... Tell me!" He went to touch the frozen face of a woman but her neck immediately breaks without a sound as her head falls to the ground and breaks into tiny pieces, that's when he noticed something strange, "It's... Salt? Uh... No...! Waah!"

"Ren?!" That's when he also heard a familiar voice from where all the guns where pointing. He immediately looked in that direction and noticed familiar long red hair and she was standing next to... Shirou? He could barely see them.

"M-Ms. Mariru!" He ran towards the two and slowly begin to slow down as they became more visible. He noticed the figure behind Mariru and reached his hand out for him while it was shaking, "Sh... Shirou?" He felt devastated now. His best friend was dead right in front of him.

"I'm... I'm sorry." Mariru spoke up from behind him while looking away."

"If... If you know... If god really exists. Then... then I wish this really was just a dream."

"Become my vessel, then!" He heard a booming voice.

Mariru instantly realized something was wrong while Ren was staring at Shirou's body. The Ross Goblet's already blinding light was increasing! And aren't body also began to change! "Hey! Re-"

—————————————————————————

An alarm clock was heard. Thoughts flooded into Ren's mind, everything was on fire, the salt body's, Shirou's own body, he immediately opened his eyes and shut it off, "...What was that?" He saw the familiar ceiling of his bedroom. Normally Ren would've just gone back to sleep but that nightmare felt so real, his heart was even hammering in his chest!

He sat up from his bed but noticed something was off, "Wait... My chest..." he touched he chest and felt something odd, "huh? Did my body just... Have more... Flab?" He looked down at his chest, "Is this my chest?" He sweat dropped at seeing them, "What a strange dream..." He immediately lightened up and began to fondle his chest more, "Haha! If feels nice! I do like having dreams like this every now and again!"

That's when he noticed something crucial to the male body was missing. "Wait... Don't tell me... Ren junior is missing!?" Th-Then!? These things... Don't tell me!"

He jumped out of bed and ran to the washroom, he even knocked Shirou over just as he was about to enter, "You didn't have to push me..." Shirou stood back up and walked away.

Omake

Waking up tiredly in class Ren was staring back at the familiar sight of the board. That nightmare he just had felt so real, even his heart was hammering in his chest! He calmed himself down as not to cause trouble and paid attention to class. He just couldn't get used to the extra weight on his chest and the wind he felt on his legs.

Before he knew it class was over and he spotted his favorite person and ran towards him and hugged him, wait... hug? "Shirou! Let's go hang out at the roof top or something!" Wait, he didn't remember his voice being that... different.

Shirou gave him a smile, "Sure, let's go."

He already began walking towards the rooftop. At least that didn't feel weird. They would often hang out on the rooftop together since there were no rules saying not too.

But the extra weight on his chest and the breeze below his waist. He looked down and was greeted with two lumps of flesh. He decided to grab them and give them a inquisitive squeeze. Huh, he had to admit, this felt fun and nice! With a goofy smile on his face and laughing a bit, he continued to keep squeezing the... things andkept following after Shirou.

That is until he bumped into him, "Ow! Watch where your going man!"

"Sorry." Ren looked at him annoyed that he interrupted him from having his fun, "But, people are watching you. Maybe you should do this at another time?" He had a sheepish smile as he avoided Ren's eyes.

He looked around to confirm if people were actually looking, they were. Huh, why did were some of their noses bleeding and they even had red faces.

That's when he noticed it. Ren junior was missing. Oh no. "Don't tell me...! These are!" That's when he confirmed it. They were breast. Rather big breast. But they were his breast. He panicked and did something he never thought he would do in his life, he slapped Shirou in the face so hard it knocked him off his feet and got him a red handprint. "Don't, don't look!" He then covered his chest and crouched down. It was very out of character for him.

Shirou could only groan from the devastating blow, "W...Why... Me..."
