25Hello my fellow fanfic readers, Forzarismo here with the second, albeit short chapter for Fate White Death! I have decided to add another change of servants as instead of Ryuunosuke Uryuu being the master of Caster along with said Caster servant being Gille de Rais, It will be Sakura Matou as the Master, and as for the Servant...Well just continue reading. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and as always, don't forget to favorite follow and review. As a side note, I decided to tweak Assassin a tiny bit more so he would be more balanced out.
Disclaimer: If you were in Fate Zero, who would you summon and why? If I owned it, I'd summon Samson as Berserker.
Chapter 2: Caster's Ascension
Fuyuki City, Japan, April 1994…
Sakura Tohsaka, now known as Sakura Matou has had a bad year. First and foremost, she was sent away from her family for a reason that she doesn't know. Did her family not love her anymore? Why? These were the questions that plague her mind every time she found herself in the wormpit. Said wormpit is the second reason to her horrible year. Every day, she is constantly put into the most inhumane place most people would only think would happen in their most deep, dark nightmares. She has lost whatever had remained of her dignity with her hair changing from black to purple along with her once azure eyes turning into a similar shade of purple, and not to mention is rather close to losing her sanity and hope. Then, just as she found herself close to breaking, her beloved uncle Kariya promised her that he'll do whatever he can in order to rescue her from his father's clutches. This brought up her hopes considerably, but as soon as it started to go up, she saw what her beloved uncle had to go through. No longer did Kariya look like his healthy self as once the Matou Crest Worms were implanted into his body, half of his limbs become dysfunctional and distorted, resulting in a limp. He also has a sickly pale complexion brought on by the constant deterioration of his health. Not to mention, his hair turned completely white from shock and he went blind in one eye. Seeing her uncle going through this just for her made her think what did she ever do to deserve such a fate. Just as she soon found herself back into the atrocity of basement, she could only think as to what is keeping her sane at this point. Then she remembered.
Flashback…
"I have to go. Let's play again someday!" An auburn haired boy said as he left with his parents, leaving Sakura and Rin on their own.
"Well, Shirou is really fun isn't he onee-chan?" Sakura said smiling as her sister reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, he sure is." Rin said dejectedly, for some reason feeling sad that the fun boy had to leave so soon, before brightening up considerably. "Anyways, Sakura, I have something for you that I want to give before we go back with mom and uncle Kariya. It's your birthday present!" Rin stated happily as she took out a red ribbon from her pocket and put it into Sakura's palm.
"Our dad gave this to me after coming back from Italy. He said it is a piece from something called the Shroud of Touren? Tuwim? I don't remember, but he did say it is something really special. So I thought, why don't I turn it into a birthday gift for the best sister anyone can ever have!" Rin exclaimed as she hugged Sakura.
"Thank you…thank you so much onee-chan. This…this means so much to me. You truly are the best sister in the world!" Sakura stated joyfully as she got out of Rin's hug and started walking towards their mother and Kariya. "I will always love you onee-chan, no matter what."
"Same to you Sakura, and I will always be there for you when you need me." Rin promised as she followed Sakura.
Flashback end…
Sakura's dead eyes widen a little as she grabbed the ribbon that is tied to her hair with her right hand. She looked into it with longing and despair.
"Please…" Sakura pleaded with tears now flowing out of her eyes. "Someone…Anyone…! Please…Help me…!" She continued as she tightened the hold she had on the ribbon.
Unknowingly to Sakura, just as she pleaded, Her left hand started glow an eerie red as command seals begun to appear.
"I WANT MY FAMILY AGAIN!" Sakura screamed out as the ribbon in her hand glowed a bright light. Then, there was an audible explosion.
With Zouken Matou…
Zouken is currently reading a book while he sat on a chair when suddenly he felt the manor shake suddenly, then he heard an explosion coming from the wormpit, following a weird sensation of having all of his crest worms down there suddenly disappearing. Feeling that something is wrong, he went as fast as his old withered body let him go and went down into the basement. What he saw down there…was unsettling to him, to say the least. What used to be a place infested with his worm familiars is now filled with blood. In the middle of the pool of blood looked to be a summoning circle along with something, or someone else. Standing on top of the blood is a man wearing a white tunic with a red sash wrapped across his torso. He had a somewhat pale olive complexion with long flowing light brown hair and a beard to go with it. In his arms he held the unconscious, naked, shivering body of Sakura Matou, looking at her with sadness.
"Do not fret child, soon your worries will end." The man cooed out to Sakura as he changed his sights from the purple haired girl to the old man on the staircase. "What did you do to this girl?" The man questioned.
Zouken couldn't help but fear this man as he emanated power he has never felt before. Despite this, he answered the man's question. "She's going through her training. She's the heir to this family's magic after all and she needs to go through this." Zouken stated as-a-matter-of-factly as the man's eyes narrowed.
"You…" The man began getting Zouken's attention. "All I see when I look at you is an abomination trying to live forever, manipulating anybody and everybody to get whatever it is you want. A creature such as yourself who abandoned his humanity for such worldly desires needs to see the errors of his ways." The man said as he took a step forward, but Zouken held his ground as he gritted his teeth angrily at the man.
"Who're you to decide what I do-!" Is all Zouken is able to say before he froze as he saw himself glow a faint white light that begun to increase in radiance.
"Begone foul miscreation!" The man exclaimed as the entire Matou Manor is engulfed in light. Once the light settled down, There was no sight of Zouken, along with all the blood in the basement disappeared as well. Deciding, that this place was no longer needed, The man covered Sakura with his his red sash as he exited the manor. Soon after Sakura woke up looking at the man who radiated peace, serenity, and warmth.
"Who…Who are you?" Sakura asked as the man looked down on her and smiled mirthfully at her.
"By your summoning, however botched it may have been, I have arrived to your call miss. I am Servant Caster, ready to support you whenever I can."
With Armas and Assassin…
"Did you notice that?" Armas asked Assassin as he looked on to the flash of light near the forest. Armas had himself and Assassin go around Fuyuki City as in search for information of each and every master that has appeared so far.
"Indeed I did Master. What are your orders?" Assassin asked as he focused his sight at the surrounding area. He caught sight of a servant he deduced to be Caster seeing as how he is dressed holding a little purple-haired girl wrapped in a red robe.
"I believe introductions are in order. If we can get other masters as allies, it would be much easier to end this farce of a war. Go and wait in a good position, be ready to support my escape should anything happen." Armas said while Assassin looked at his master with uncertainty.
"Are you sure that's a wise decision master?" Assassin asked unsure as to what to feel about this.
"Assassin, You are best suited to long range combat, While I'm more of a close quarters fighter. Besides, have faith in your master. After all, my body is five times stronger, faster, and more responsive than most people, and that's without using my Body Enhancement Magic. Not to mention, while compared to you my stealth is shit, in human and magus terms, I'd say it's pretty damn good, perfect for spying." Armas assured Assassin who stayed quiet before nodding and shifting into his astral form.
Seeing this, Armas jogged towards the area where he felt the most amount of prana, finding himself face to face with Servant Caster and the little girl.
"Who might you be?" Caster asked already deducing that the man in front of him was of no threat.
"Caster, I'm Armas Kotimaa Rodriguez, Master of Assassin. I'm hoping if we could have a peace talk of sorts." Armas offered as he looked at the little girl currently being cradled in Caster's arms.
"You seem to be a stern man with realistic values who despite being quite the pragmatist, is willing to sacrifice himself for others, valuing his comrade's life over his own." Caster suddenly stated, making Armas' eyes widen slightly. "The sole reason why you practice magic is to protect those you care for to the best of your ability, isn't that right?" He finally deduced while Armas got into a hostile position ready for action as Armas narrowed his eyes.
"How do you know all that? I've never met you before in all my life, so I highly doubt you're a someone who recently became a heroic spirit, am I right?" Armas questioned as he felt Assassin preparing himself to support his master should he need it.
Caster just gave a gentle smile, somehow making Armas relax a bit. "Well, to answer your first question, I'm able to deduce your personality and why you became who you are now just by talking to you. And to answer your second question, no I have not recently become a heroic spirit. That happened roughly two millennia ago." Caster explained as he looked towards Assassin's direction. "Now I know you mean no harm Armas, as I don't want any conflict yet as my master here can be in danger if I decide to do so, but can you please call off your servant? I'm sure it'd be better if we see face to face." He reasoned making Armas sigh before signalling Assassin to come beside him.
As soon as Assassin came into view, he looked at Caster for a bit before widening his eyes in realisation as to what Caster's identity is. "It…It can't be! How was she able to summon YOU of all people!" Assassin exclaimed in a rare show of emotion. Armas quickly looked at Assassin and saw that his eyes were widened in fear.
"Hey, do you who this man is?" Armas questioned wondering what's the identity of the servant in front of him.
"His name is-" Assassin began.
"-Yeshua Christos de Nazareth, The King of Jews. Known to many as the Son of God and the creator of Christianity."
The King of Jews
Class: Caster
Master: Sakura Matou
Identity: Yeshua Christos de Nazareth
Gender: Male
Height, Weight: 176 cm. 63 kg.
Alignment: Lawful Good
Strength: C+
Endurance: B++
Agility: D-
Magic Energy: B++
Luck: B
Noble Phantasm: EX
Class Skills
Item Construction: C
Ability to create weapons having magic power. As one of the main uses of this, there is the creation of Mystic Codes.
Territory Creation: A
Ability to create a territory advantageous to oneself as a magus. The workshops of common magi are also included in as territories, but at rank A, it is possible to create a temple class territory exceeding that of a workshop.
Personal Skills:
Charisma: A+
At this level, his charisma is no longer popularity, but rather a kind of spell (curse) in itself. Despite originally not being as popular in the beginning, only having a small amount of believers and followers, eventually he's become one of the most well known people in history, gaining an astronomical amount of people that believe in him and his teachings.
Clairvoyance: A
This servant has the ability to track any figure no matter the distance between them. At this rank this skill is so high objects between the viewer and target are unable to hinder the user. It also grants him superior visual perception and dynamic occipital capture along with precognition. Not to mention, he is most famous for having the capability of seeing things that cannot be seen with the naked eye or even with reinforced eyes, such as demons and angels.
Discernment of the Poor: EX
The ability to read and accurately judge a person's character without flaw, only works if said servant has met the person or observed them. It also allows him brief insight as to why they are how they are, being able to deduce friend from foe.
Divine Protection: EX
A form of protection that gives the user the quick-wittedness and the brute strength needed to defeat beasts unaided. Being at its highest rank, It essentially grants him and those he is allied with that're nearby with near-perfect protection against weapons, disease, etc. Only Noble Phantasms of A-Rank and above are capable of breaking through this protection.
Divinity: A+
Depending on which religion, he is either a prophet, the son of God, or God himself in human form, he will always obtain some form of divinity, though that depends on how he's summoned. In this Holy Grail War, he's summoned as the son of God, granting him a high amount of divinity. It also has an effect which reduces special defensive values called "purge defense" in proportion to the Divinity's Rank. It can break through Skills such as Protection of the Faith and Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig.
Enchant: B
The skill that empowers people via various means. Has the ability to increase and reinforce the physical capabilities and/or limitations of normal humans, animals, and nonliving structures.
Independent Action: A+
The Servant can operate without a Master. With a rank of A+ that exceeds even A, the support of a Master is unnecessary even while unleashing a large amount of magical energy. It is an ability that bends the rules and allows for the continued materialisation of Servants even after the conclusion of the Holy Grail War.
Miracle: EX
An ability that makes the impossible possible. Throughout his life, He was known for doing many things that were deemed impossible such as turning water into wine, walking on water, healing the sick, surviving 40 days and 40 nights without food or water, reviving the dead, and even reviving himself just to name a few.
Protection of the Faith: B
A Skill possessed only by those who have sacrificed themselves for a religious view. Despite being a form of divine protection, it is not a blessing from a higher existence. It is only the absoluteness of one's body and soul, which is born from faith.
Revelation: B
is a Skill equivalent to Instinct, a sixth sense regarding battles; however, "Revelation" accommodates all matters related to the achievement of a goal. It grants him the ability to hear the 'Voice of Heaven'.
Zealotry: A+
Normally unattainable mental strength can be obtained by having so much religious faith in something that it is beyond the understanding of those around him. Is capable of completely resisting the temptations of Satan during his fasting of 40 days and 40 nights along with staying the same despite being tortured, crucified, sent to hell, and coming back to life with no changes in his mental state.
Noble Phantasms
Resurrection: Second Coming
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 0
Maximum Amount of Targets: 1
Caster's trademark Noble Phantasm, being based on his 'final Miracle'. Should he ever be killed, he will revive himself within three days. When he dies, his command seals will not be taken away from the master. Even should his master die, he will still be able to revive himself so long as the Holy Grail War is still continuing, allowing him to either revive his master or replace them with a new one. So in order for Caster to stay dead permanently, the Holy Grail War has to end within a 36 hour period of his death.
The Army of Christianity
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-99
Maximum Amount of Targets: 1000
Grants him the ability to call upon the Heroes of Christian Mythology to fight for him in his stead. The Christian Heroes he is able to summon can be from anywhere in the past, present, or future, each of them containing their own personal class, skills, and Noble Phantasms. An example of this would be when at one point in his life, he took three of his apostles with him to a mountain where called upon the spirits of both Elijah and Moses.
Heaven's Wrath
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-World
Range: ?
Maximum Amount of Targets: ?
Essentially brings out all of the horrors conjured up in the bible such as The Leviathan, Sodom and Gomorrah, The Ten Plagues, The Great Flood, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, The Beast of Revelation, etc. to his bidding and command. Being a man of peace, he'd only use this as a last resort, or never at all.
Well, What do you people think? In case you want to know, since Sakura didn't do a proper summoning, Caster's stats were actually brought down a letter except for Luck and Noble Phantasms. Also, do you guys like that I added Jesus as a servant instead of Gille de Rais? Imagine all the things that can and may be changed with these two servants being here instead of the original two. And on another note, I know that Caster is OP as FUCK in this fanfic, but you have to keep in mind who summoned him, an innocent little girl who wants nothing to do with harming anybody as well as Jesus being a pacifist, therefore, all he can really do himself is pure support.
Anyways that's all I have for you guys and make sure to favorite, follow, and review! If this is your first time reading one of my stories, make sure to read my other one, The Rubbery Vengeance as that one is my main focus and therefore will have more frequent updates than this one.
