The two cold women clashed silently. No words are exchanged between them, but their surroundings seem to emit a wave of frost that could easily freeze someone.
Clang-!
Clang-!
To make more suitable maneuvers, Kal'tsit let Mon3tr tank Saber... Saber Alter's invisible blade. She determined its rough dimensions with her [Great Sage], helping her in this confrontation of theirs. She also fired a few specially-made vials at her, only to be dodged by her supernatural agility.
Bam-!
She was targeted by Salter once more as the latter knew that she is the master of the beast that she is fighting. Of course, she knew that attacking the leader is better than pointlessly attacking a tougher opponent. Since they are not in a duel, she is free to do as she wishes.
Just as Salter is about to unleash hell—her signature Mana Blast spams—she was interrupted by a rain of pink arrows. Then, an invisible barrier was made between the two of them.
"Futile efforts."
Words left her mouth, all of them being laced with coldness. It made her look detached from this world, with no care for anything else but her ambitions. She held her invisible blade vertically above her head. Mana started to gather in it whilst its true form is revealed. It did not matter anymore now that she is in this world—her act of hiding her blade is nothing but a habit of hers. Upon sensing Kal'tsit somewhat knowing her sword's exact dimensions, she no longer maintained it.
A holy sword revealed itself in the eyes of the bystanders. No, it is no longer apt to call it as such as it was baptized by all the world's evil. It no longer served to spread the light for her allies, but to disperse the light of their enemies instead. It is seen here that no matter how she is blackened, she retains the foundation of what makes Artoria.
Buzz.
A low humming sound, one that is reminiscent of the glitchy effect in Aincrad, resounded. Blue pixels appeared around Salter's body, covering her entirety in less than a second. Without giving her the time to speak, it forcefully ejected her from this world, preventing any of the destruction that she could have caused.
Seeing this, Kal'tsit reverted to her usual form after calming down her breathing. Even for an old fossil such as herself, it is no easy matter to face the King of Knights with the Red Dragon's Core, one of the strongest dragons in the Fate world.
"How are your injuries?" Meteora asked after flying down. She has her stoic expression as per usual.
The other woman with a comparable stoic expression replied, "Not bad. I can treat this in less than an hour."
Seeing that the doctor looked fine, Meteora directed her attention toward Selesia. She is being piggy-backed by her creator, Matsubara, due to her injuries in that point-blank Magical Girl attack.
"We should leave. People would gather here soon. Their knowledge of us would only put us at a disadvantage."
In those three days, she explored this world and summed up a lot of theories. One of those is that something might happen once the knowledge of [Creations] emerging in the "real" world spread. She drew this conjecture due to how the white-haired military girl made overtly huge moves (i.e., battles) during her appearance. Her stance might be unknown, but her actions made it clear that she disdains this world. It became clear that she is planning something that harms this world, making her untrustworthy as an ally.
After finding a secluded route where no bystanders are present, they took off from this place, leaving the charred sidewalks filled with craters and debris. Some people are about to film this scene, only to see green vans coming from afar. They immediately recognized them as the JSDF and chose not to. More JSDF personnel came and cordoned this area with a "bomb attack" as its reason.
One of the superiors soon received the reports from the on-sight personnel, which he relayed to the highest-ranking official in the Situations Countermeasures Council.
"No traces... I understand."
*****
A few hours later, they decided to gather in Shiro's house, the largest one out of the others.
'A black knight with red lines engraved in her armor...'
"Artoria..?"
With the description, the first person that Shiro thought of is Artoria. To be exact, her Alter self who got influenced by Angra Mainyu.
"Aru...toria?"
"Meteora-san."
"Mn."
Shiro was brought back to his senses upon hearing her. When he heard about the appearance of the knight who attacked Kal'tsit, he could not prevent himself from internalizing.
Why is she here?
How is she here?
It stands to reason that many anime from parallel worlds should exist in this world too. However, all of them are works that they did not hear of before. Except for the series that the members brought here, there is no other work that can also be found in other parallel worlds.
"Fukushiro-san. Do you know the black knight from earlier?" She asked.
Formulating the excuses in his mind, Shiro then said, "I know her. It's just that... her true appearance is nothing like that. When you showed this, I can tell that it is nearly identical to hers."
"Oh? Isn't she Saber from Fate/Zero?"
Matsubara, who had just walked in, stated.
"Fate/Zero?"
Shiro tried to 'recall' his memories in this world, only to find nothing about Fate/Zero. He knew about that anime itself as he went to that world, but he could not remember the memories of "Fate/Zero" here.
"It's the anime adaptation back in 2010. I heard that you worked with it back then."
Shiro tried to conceal his surprise as he replied, "I see. I do remember it now. Her appearance is quite different than her original one."
"True. Only her entire color scheme is different."
"That does not deny the possibility that she is that character."
Matsubara pulled out his tablet and looked for Saber's illustrations. Knowing that showing her this can better explain things, he tilted the screen to her sight.
Seeing this, she had a sudden realization, "They are identical. Can I borrow this for a moment, Matsubara-san?"
"It's alright."
With Meteora preoccupied with finding information about Saber, Shiro took this chance to enter the chat group panel.
Shiro: "Does everyone know about a Fate/Zero anime in this world?"
Kuroneko: "Yes. It is included in the memories that I received here. Is something wrong?"
Shiro: "There is something wrong. I do not recall such memories."
Touka: "I recall that one too. It became famous at one point that more than half of Japan knew about her."
Shiro: "Strange..."
Facing these memories that only he cannot remember, his first thought is that something is wrong—with him, that is. Although he could not sense anything wrong with him no matter what. His intuition even told him that he would not find anything else. Still, he planned to check out on himself again when he goes out in disguise.
For now, he pushed aside this strange feeling and started to work on the so-called "revisions"...

A/N: We have reached the 100th milestone for our fact section (Cheers)! I wonder, how much did you learn from all of it?
Anyways, here's the 100th one!
Fact #100: This fact has something to do with Shiro's full name. It is Fukushiro Sakurai. Fuku means Luck and Shiro means White. I mentioned the origin of this part before. His last name, however, face from a different source. Remember the author of Fate/prototype? Well, she's involved with several FGO characters in this fic, namely: Musashi and Euryale. Actually, her name is Hikaru Sakurai. Her last name is the inspiration behind Shiro's last name!
