Other Dimension's Knight
Chapter 25 - XXV: Exchange
" Release Fuji-nee ! " shouted Shirou.
" Oh, you didn't hear me previously, give me that servant of yours and I'll release her. " said Caster with a smile as she thought she had the situation completely under control.
" You .... ! "
" I'll never work with someone like you Caster ! " said Shirou.
" Who told you to work with me boy ? I have no interest in a weak magus like yourself, what I want is your second servant, not you. " said Caster.
" Isn't it the same thing as working with him then ?! " said Rin.
Caster was surprised by her words before she started to laugh.
" Who said I need the boy to take his servant ? I just need him to not attack him and I'll take him " said Caster.
" Impossible, the only way to take a servant is to kill the master and then form a pact with the servant " said Saber.
" For a Caster like me, f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y taking a servant is an easy matter " said Caster.
Everyone tensed at her words and the implication behind it.
" Now boy, use a command spell on your servant and order him to come near me without attacking me. " said Caster.
Shirou gritted his teeth and looked at Fujimura sleeping in air with a string around her neck.
" Understood " said Alexander making his sword disappear.
His armor also disappeared and he was back into his normal clothes. He walked towards Caster.
" First release your hostage. " said Alexander as he stopped at a safe distance from Caster.
" Are you joking ? How can I know that you're not going to attack me when I release her. " said Caster.
" I'm bound by my vows to chivalry so I can't do that even if I wanted to. " said Alexander.
Caster laughed a bit at the mention of vows to chivalry.
" That won't do. I want the boy to use command spells. " said Caster as she squeezed her hand and a little bit of blood appeared on Fujimura's neck.
Shirou gritted his teeth but ultimately decided to use a command spell. Apparently he only had 3 command spells for both servants so he would use his last command spell on this exchange. But before he could do something, Alexander interrupted him.
" That's what I would say, as long as you don't release your hostage, we can't be sure that you would fulfill your part, after all, if Shirou use command spells, I'll be forced to do whatever I'm ordered but you not. " said Alexander.
" After all, considering your infamous past, we should be extremely careful with trades with you, Witch Of Betrayal. " said Alexander with emphasis on his last words.
Rin's eyes widened at the mention of her title. She didn't connect the dots when he called her with her true name previously but now she understood her identity. Saber had already got information from the Grail when he mentionned her true name so she wasn't that surprised.
Caster gritted her teeth. She truly hated this title and to be honest, she had all the reason to do so. But in the end she just scoffed as she was still in control.
" I shall follow your rules, Orion. " said Caster with a smirk. But instantly Alexander's eyes narrowed.
" Don't be surprised, although it was hard to get the identity of someone not existing in this dimension, it wasn't too hard either for someone like me to get some small information about a servant only existing in another dimension. Although I didn't manage to get any other information, I managed to get one of the names that would lead to your identity. " said Caster smiling at Alexander's reaction.
Alexander just sighed at Caster's remarks. He extended his arm towards her as she released Fujimura. Shirou instantly caught her and checked if she was ok but suddenly felt a pain of his left hand.
" Arghhh " Shirou screamed in pain as he felt something being taken out f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y from him.
Caster had inserted a strange looking dagger inside Alexander's arm and three command spells appeared on her hand.
Caster immediatly checked Alexander's strength and amount of mana he was producing and laughed in delight at the information she got.
" It seems that whoever got this man was winning the war no matter what. " said Caster as she once again started to fly.
She looked at Alexander who was looking at her with a complex expression. It was a mixture of anger, pity and other emotions, which confused her greatly. But in the end she would know what this expression was. From what she could gather, Alexander should have lived during her time, so it was possible that he knew her, but things maybe would have went differently in his dimension, she would discover all of these things now that she had him under her control. Compared to before, now that she had a link to him, she could discover information about him much more easily through the Holy Grail.
" Even though it would be a good choice to eliminate you right now. I got what I wanted so I'll just retreat. " said Caster as she disappeared with Alexander.
Slowly the fog started to disappear around the bridge, leaving Shirou with one servant.
-----------------------------------------------
Alexander was brought by Caster to the Temple first.
" What are you trying to achieve ? " asked Alexander, he wanted to know what was the motive of her actions.
Caster wanted to put him in his place as a simple pawn but she remembered his look previously.
" None of your business. " said Caster, disappearing somewhere else, leaving Alexander in the middle of the Temple.
Alexander sighed with a complicated look on his face, he stayed in the middle of the Temple as the rain came pouring down on the city.
------------------------------------------
Shirou arrived at the Emiya residence looking downcast. He lost one of his servant, but on the good side he still had Saber. Archer broke through the bounded field right after Caster disappeared.
While Shirou was quite sad about the fact that Caster stole Alexander and that she'll use him to do terrible things in his opinion, Saber, Rin and Archer realized the other problem. With both Caster and Alexander, or Orion like what she called him, there was literally no way they could defeat them. Although they were sure that Alexander wouldn't follow her commands except if she used a seal, she still had three of them so it was extremely dangerous.
