Seeds of Summoning

The seventeen year old youth has tawny copper-chocolate skin beneath his clothes, an armored dark burgundy vest over a red tee shirt, silvery gray mid-forearm length fingerless gloves, and scarlet hakama pants tied by a dark gray obi. His dark scarlet-auburn hair falls to just an inch and a half above the middle of his back in wild waves. He holds a small suitcase that holds copies of the Gaim, Baron, Suika, Bravo, Ryugen, Zangetsu, and Sigurd Lockseeds represented by the fruits orange, banana, watermelon, durian, grape, honeydew melon, and apple respectively. What he lacks, however, is a Sengoku Driver to use their latent sleeping power. His crystalline garnet-amethyst eyes scan around as he wears a pair of mirrored sunglasses to hide his unique colored eyes.

He half turns, seeing a raven haired, emerald eyed young woman. She wears a white undershirt beneath her black leather vest and a dark gray skirt with a grayish black underskirt and black boots. He notes the armored forearm length gloves. He also noticed the short hand and a quarter blade he noted was a dull edged she had at her hip as well as a short staff in her hand.

The woman was looking at the guy with her and hoped to be able to tell him how she feels for him. She always kept it a secret, scared she would lose her only friend.

He chuckles, tilting his head. “Should be interesting, I suspect, being here. I've never been to one of these before,” he hums. His gaze shifted behind his glasses, looking over the various media stalls. He blinks at an abrupt flash, noticing a guy with a very eerie resemblance to Tsukasa Kadoya down to not just the Neo-Decade Driver, but his camera as well.

“If that's who I think… things may get… interesting.” he mutters. He thinks it could be a cosplayer, yet…. he has a feeling that it may not be, as insane as it seems.

“I think you might be right.” the teen said as she and her friend walked over to him both of them hoping that who they think the guys is actually what he is.

“I've vaguely heard of odd… things… happening at these… but I'm pretty sure life is odd enough, I guess, on its own.” he sighs.

“At least we can finally go to Equestria if it is true.” The girl said.

He shrugs. “As long as we don't end up in one where ‘Lil Miss Rarity’, ‘Cupcakes’, or ‘Rainbow Factory’ is real,” he drawls dryly.

“Well i hope we don’t get stoned.”She said.

“I doubt that would be likely… unless you mean Marijuana-‘stoned’ rather than rock-’stoned’,” he quips – his name, Eriya Tsukino.

“I hope you never change, my friend.” She said laughing.

He snorts, rolling his eyes behind his sunglasses. “Come on, do you really think ‘harmonious ponies’ are really going to go ‘old Canaanite’ on everyone different from them?” he drawls with a shrug.

“You know I love to fight, otherwise I would not have dressed as the black summoner so I don't want to miss any fights and becoming stone would make that happen.” She said.

“True, though in most timelines… it tends to be Luna who lets the Nightmare out… though I suppose it could be possible that Celestia could… however unlikely… and either way, sealing one tends to break the link that both hold to the Elements of Harmony… leaving them in need of new holders…. hmmm… I wonder if it'd be possible to rebuild the Castle of Two Sisters…. as a bit of a surprise for them.” Emiya hums.

“It will be interesting to see what will happen… let's go talk to him.” She said.

I cock an eyebrow at her comment. “Who?”

“The guy that might be the displacer.” She said pointing to them.

He cocks an eyebrow, glancing at the guy who wore rather plain bronze clothes with golden highlights.

“Doesn’t he remind you of someone from a game.” She said.

He shrugs. “Probably. Wouldn't know, though.” He glanced in the direction of the Tsukasa cosplayer, only to see silver fading into the air…. a sign of an Aurora Curtain which only Tsukasa Kadoya and his counterpart Daiki Kaito could access… better known as Kamen Rider Decade and Kamen Rider Diend.

“That is Lucan Valerius dId you forget that my character always married his sister since you watched me beat the game a bunch of times.” She said.

He shrugs. “I suppose. I'd recognize Serana far more easily… or Valerica.”

“Well i am going to talk to him if you don’t want me to be sent to equestria alone you better follow me.” She said heading over to the guy that looks like Lucan Valerius.

He rolls his eyes as he walks after her before he blinks, seeing someone step out of the tent behind Lucan Valerius - Serana.

He noticed her gaze scanning around the crowds. He knew most would think her eyes to be colored contacts, yet he could pick up the slightest glow from her eyes as he stuck close to Christina.

“Well you better say hello to your crush.” Christina said, smirking.

“Ha ha, very funny. Empathizing with a game character and meeting one is quite different… which I somewhat doubt they're actually from Skyrim…” he snorts before he blinks, noticing a small, roughly dime sized, badge they both had, though the only reason it caught his eye was the subtle, slight twitching of it – a badge with a golden green eye with a slitted pupil and slightly twitching black tendrils that seemed to glisten almost wetly. His eyes narrow fractionally, noticing the badge and almost sure who it was a reference to – Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince tied to knowledge and memory.

‘That would explain how they got here…’ he mused.

“Great, that Daedric Prince is tied to this some how.” Christina said to herself.

“At least that one, technically, is mostly neutral… much like Hircne and, I'd be reluctant to say, a certain Prince of Madness,” he drawls.

They finally made it over to the pair and Lucan just set a laptop out on a stand with other stuff from different animes and games, Serana assisting him.

“I'd wager it was surprising to find all the media… though I wouldn't be shocked if one of those working at Bethesda secretly worshipped him,” Emiya drawled, flicking his fingers at the badge. He shivered as he saw the eye on both badges blink. ‘It's one thing to suspect something… like Hermaeus Mora leaving a tiny part of himself as a ‘badge’... and another to realize the Daedric Prince could be aware of us,’ he realizes.

“You could say that,” Serana purrs. “So what catches your eye?”

“Other than you?” Emiya's reply is almost instinctive as I feel my cheeks heat as I swear she smirks in return. My eyes notice the Dawnbreaker, Merida's sacred blade. ‘If Sunny Town is in the Everfree, that blade would be handy for putting those souls to rest… I really pity Ruby and Mitta,’ he thinks.

“Well i need to ask how many items are we allowed to get?” Christina asked.

“Well, as long as you can pay, have as much as you want.” Lucan said knowing that he is going to make a lot of money.

Emiya hums in thought. “I'm guessing Hermaeus Mora was rather surprised that a world that wasn't connected to Oblivion's planes or Tamriel knew of him, hmm?” he drawls, glancing at the badge on his chest and her shoulder respectively. He definitely saw the badge blink, the pupil narrowing as if aware that it was intended both for Serana and Lucan as well as the Daedric Prince himself.

Serana hummed. “I don't doubt it, especially considering it was a bit of a shock for us,” she commented wryly.
“So did you figure out what you want?” Lucan asked with a smile as he looked at christina.

“I want a multiversal laptop two infinte storage bags Spellbreaker oghma infinium and the dragonball radar.” Christina said.

“Sure that will be 1000 dollars.” Lucan said as Christina handed him the money and he handed her two bags which she handed one to Emiya “The stuff you bought are in the bag you have.” Lucan said after she got the bags.

Emiya blinked, cocking an eyebrow as he noticed how Serana smirked. He had the very distinct sense she knew something he didn't. “The Sengoku and Genesis Drivers as well as an Asauchi,” he pauses, noticing Serana sliding a vial of scarlet liquid with hints of amber and emerald as well one with a bluish purple liquid.

“Call it a feeling, but the vial may be very handy. As for the other, it'll help with the Asauchi,” she quips.

“I will be paying for my friend also.” Christina said “so want anything else before i pay?” She asked Emiya.

He thinks about it, humming. “The flat-space nanotechnology bracelets from ‘Ultraviolet’...” he mutters. It stood to reason that if the ‘multiverse theory’ or even the ‘omniverse theory’ that every world imagined, fanfiction or movies, video games or anime, actually existed as its own ‘real world’ somewhere that it was possible to encounter their technology.

“That will be 500 dollars.” Lucan said so christina handed him the money.

“So I guess we were right and you will be sending us to equestria.” Christina said.

“You are partly right we will be sending you somewhere but not to equestria.” Lucan said.

“I have a question, since I won't be back, is there anything I can get for the rest of my money?” Christina asked.

“Well I've got one thing you can have. It will be in your bag when you are in Equestria.” Lucan said so Christina handed the rest of the money she had.

“You're more like her than you know,” Serana remarks, confusing Emiya.

Emiya blinks at the odd comment, cocking his head as he slips the flat-space nanotech bracelets on.

“I have a question for you both, do you know who my real parents are?” Christina asked.

Lucan looked at her and smirked, which is all Christina needed to know so she said “Well I hope to find them some day.”

“That is good, keep your hope close to your chest and you will succeed and always remember your past.” Lucan said.

“You ain’t the only one, ‘tina,” Emiya drawls wryly. He rolls his shoulders as he speaks. He tilts his head, looking at the vial of scarlet liquid with hints of emerald and amber. He has a sneaking suspicion of what it is.

“Now time to send you both to your next destination.” Lucan said as both Emiya and Christina glowed then disappeared.

—–‐–—
Emiya groaned as he awoke, both vials in his hands as well as the Asauchi tied to the small of his back. He looked around, blinking as he saw nothing but a near featureless white void save for the ground being a half shade darker at best.

He threw back the scarlet vial, clearing his throat as he swallowed it, noticing it was slightly thicker than water, almost like Jell-O. He didn't realize that he gained certain things - glowing golden orange edged opalescent deep aquamarine scales that contrast very noticeably with his tawny copper-chocolate skin. The scales run up his legs from the tops of his feet, then up his calves, coiling thrice around his thighs then around his hips before going up his spine, shoulder blades, over his collarbones, pectorals, and sternum. His triceps and forearms as well as the outer edges of his ears also have the scales.

He noticed Christina sprawled feet away, unconscious.

She woke up wondering where they were before they heard a voice.

“Another group of travelers coming through my realm,” a silhouette of an androgynous figure said. “It is not often that I get visitors like this, it'll be interesting to see what you shall do.”

“We were sent here by two displacers even though I thought we were heading to equestria.” Christina said.

“That means that they want me to imbue you with power before you go.” The figure said. “I shall do this but for a price.”

“What is the price for it?” Christina asked, hoping it was not too high.

“Your connection to your old world, it will remove any possibility of you returning.” it said.

“Well I don’t know about Emiya but I never cared for the world so I accept it.” Christina said before thinking and said “I know my parents are not from that world anyway.”

“You gave that offer to another Displaced… a Golden Eyed Sage in Crimson who unofficially adopted a pair of Alicorn sisters,” Emiya commented, realizing exactly who this being was. “As I recall, he gave up his old life to return to his family though his siblings, adoptive and blood, are out there too.” He hums before shrugging as he tossed back the other vial with a gulp. “Besides… ain't like I'm losing anything with this… my life was as interesting as mud… so I'll take the deal too… Truth,” he comments.

“I used to be human. I'm not that Truth he’s an ass you might know me better as ‘The drill that pierces the heavens!!!’ or something like that, it's been millenia since I left my universe to protect it.” Truth said anger in its voice. “Also I might send you things and a person at some point, I like stirring things up a bit.”

Emiyablinked. “Kamina… or Simon?” he mutters in surprise. He recalled that Simon had all but abandoned Lagann's key to be a nobody. Admittedly, he wasn't that familiar with anime.

“So what power will we get anyway?” Christina asked.

“Simon, turns out absorbing so much raw spiral energy turned me into a being like the AntiSpiral thought inverted in color since it used dark spiral power.” Truth said “since I'm taking your life in a way anything is possible, even the power of the Spiral. It’s your choice.”

“I just want whatever hidden potential I have felt since I can remember to be able to be obtained.” Christina said.

With a snap of Truth’s fingers Christina exploded as her human form disappeared as a new body took its place.

“I took the liberty of adding in Majin dna to stabilize your powered up body. Otherwise you’d be a female Cell-like hybrid. You now can revert to Saiyan via powering down Frieza mainly transformed to limit himself you do too.” Truth said.

“Interesting.” Christina said before thinking then asking “Wait what do you mean saiyan and frieza dna do I have a family member from the dragon ball multiverse?”

“Same here.” Emiya drawls. He had never quite felt ‘human’ in a way he could never explain.

“The both of you do-” Truth said before his form disrupted. “Shit I need to send you NOW! Brace yourselves for a mass info dump on your abilities. It'll give you access to them and the ability to use them for a time, but after my power fades away you'll need to train to regain your powers.” With a snap of his fingers Truth opened a portal below them.

“Sounds like Tsukasa…” Emiya managed before the portal cut him off.

“Finally, to Equestria.” Christina said as she went through the portal.
