Fate DxD: Archer Reborn

Chapter 53 - 50 - Truth

"Shirou! You defeated him!" Saber stamina already recovered a little, because of that she ran towards Shirou and immediately hugged him.

She watched the battle between Kokabiel and Shirou from afar while she try to recover her stamina. Saber is amazed by Shirou's strength that clearly surpasses her. In the first time she met Shirou she was the one who protected him. Even though Shirou force himself to fight against servants to protect her, but this time it was different. She and Shirou could fight together because currently Shirou have the ability to protect himself.

"Sa-Saber you hugged me too hard," said Shirou. "My bones is cracking."

Saber's face flushed, she was too happy with Shirou's victory making her hugging Shirou to hard.

"I-I'm sorry Shirou," said Saber. "I feel so happy with your success in defeating Kokabiel, making me hugging you to hard."

"Sigh that's fine," said Shirou.

"I saw your fight with Kokabiel, Shirou," said Saber. "Your fight with him was incredible!"

"Well, he's the most formidable enemy I've encountered so far, his endurance is really terrifying," said Shirou. "I already attacked him with an attack that was clearly going to kill a High Class Devil, but his body was only slightly injured and he didn't look like in pain at all."

"I know that, because I saw it by myself," said Saber. "You have a trouble fighting him, because of his extraordinary endurance."

"To tell you the truth, I have many ways to beat Kokabiel," said Shirou. "But there is no way I will show all the ability that I have only to beat him, That's why I only shoot a Class C Noble Phantasm against him using Gate of Babylon, the only Noble Phantasm class A I use when fighting him is the Boosted Gear."

"You refrain from being serious because someone is watching your fight not far from here, I can feel someone has watching us right now," Saber said.

"Well, that's one of the reason I can't fire a high level Noble Phantasm," said Shirou. "Because the enemy who is watching us is quite dangerous."

"How dangerous?" asked Saber.

"If he's serious he might be on par with a level A enemy," said Shirou.

"That means he is above Kokabiel who is a level B enemy," said Saber. "On par with me when my strength was at the peak, a very dangerous enemy indeed."

"Yup, let's talk about it first, Saber we better meet Rin, Luvia, Rias and Akeno," said Shirou. "I want to know about their situation right now."

"If I'm not mistaken, Asia, Sona and Shinra already treated their wounds," said Saber. "But if you are worried about them then let's go."

"Okay," said Shirou.

Saber felt a little jealous when she saw Shirou feeling anxious about the other girl, but this time she can only elated and accepted it.

Because the other four girls have fought so well, but one thing for sure is that she won't let Shirou have a romance mood with Rin or with the other girl, because for her, she is Shirou's main wife! because of that her hand immediately flanked Shirou's arm when they went to get close to Rin and the others, she didn't want Shirou to be approached by other girls.

Shirou knew what was on Saber's mind after he saw Saber face expression could only sighing. It really hard to be a popular guy that liked by a lot of girls.

The two of them then walked towards Rin, Rias, Akeno and Luvia who were lying down on the ground, because the four of them has lost a lot of stamina and power after defeating the two Cerberus. Their wounds had already been treated by Asia, Sona and Shinra. Making their body ar least in a good condition.

Shirou felt relieved, at least there were no casualties in this fight.

"Ah, Shirou-san," said Asia. "Are you already defeating Kokabiel?"

Asia was feel so envious because Arturia was walking with Shirou while holding Shirou's arm.

But she know this isn't a right time to be jealous so Asia immediately let go of her jealousy.

"Well, Kokabiel is indeed a very tough opponent," said Shirou. "But I managed to beat him."

"Thank goodness," said Asia. "I was afraid you will have a trouble in defeating one of the leaders of the fallen angel."

"Shirou is having a hard time fighting him, Asia," said Arturia. "Kokabiel has a great body endurance, he can withstand my and Shirou attack. Plus his attack also injured me and Shirou when we both fought him, he really are a tough fallen angel who have a lot of experience in fighting."

"Ah, you both got hurt," said Asia. "Can I see where your wounds are? I will heal it!"

"No need to bother, my body will heal by itself and tomorrow morning the injury will dissapear, " With Avalon in his body any injuries Shirou that he have would be healed faster than normal. Altough he can heal it in a blink of eyes when he uses phoenix power, he choose to didn't use it because he didn't want to make Asia and the other suspicious to him.

"Same with me, the wounds I have are just a little bruise," said Arturia. "Tomorrow morning the bruise will be gone."

Asia didn't feel sure that their wounds would heal tomorrow, but she know, it would be useless if she had an argument with Shirou and Arturia. So Asia could only let it go.

Sona and Shinra, who also helping Asia heal the four girls, smiled happily their feel so relieve. Because Shirou has wins againts Kokabiel.

"Emiya-san, it look like you already defeating Kokabiel, huh?" said Sona.

"Yes, I managed to win against him," said Shirou. "It was not an easy fight and I really feel piss off a lot because of his endurance, but in the end I can defeat him!"

"Emiya-san did you kill Kokabiel?" Shinra asked.

"No, I didn't kill him," replied Shirou. "I only made him pass out, if I killed Kokabiel I'm afraid it would make the relationship between the devil race and the fallen angel more worse."

"That was a right decision Emiya-kun," Rias who had been silent all this time because she was exhausted finally started to talk again, even though she couldn't stand up at all and her body can only sit on the ground. "You deserve to be a 'member' of my 'Peerage'."

"You don't need to emphasize that he is a member of your peerage Rias-Senpai," said Rin who was also awake. "If Emiya-kun wants he can stop being a member of your peerage at any time!"

"What do you mean Tohsaka-san?" Rias asked pretending not to know about the Spirit frequency Ring. "I don't understand."

"Stop pretending you didn't know Rias-Senpai," Rin replied. "I know you understand what I mean!"

"Haaah they're fighting again," Shirou facepalming himself, he really tired seeing Rin and Rias fighting.

"Just leave them both Shirou, more importantly what will we do with Kokabiel?" Asked Arturia.

"I think we can contact the fallen angel side to secure Kokabiel," replied Shirou. "Sona-kaichou can you make contact with the fallen angel's?"

"I can do it," said Sona. "Because the thing you said earlier was what I was just trying to do."

Meanwhile Akeno and Luvia can only cursing in their heart because when they try to wake up and sit, their body is really stiff like a stone statue. It turn out Rias and Rin give both Luvia and Akeno a hex that make their body paralyze. Rin hexing Luvia to make Luvia can get close to Shirou, Rias hexing Akeno so Akeno can't teasing Shirou.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

At the same time that Rias and Rin had regained consciousness, Xenovia and Griselda had also awakened and were currently sitting on the ground. The two of them were still trying to gather the strength to stand up. Xenovia looked at Kiba who was badly injured and fainted. She sighed, even Kiba who had became stronger because of his Balance Breaker couldn't beat Siegfried.

Siegfried is too strong for her right now, she has to train even harder so that one day she can beat Siegfried when the two of them meet again.

Griselda didn't take too much damage, it seemed Siegfried wasn't serious when attacking her. Right now she really had run out of magical energy and iina, even sitting in the ground is very difficult for her. Even though she knew that the battle was already over when she heard the conversation between Shirou and Asia, there was still one problem that made her feel trouble.

What she would tell to her superior about the Excalibur that being taken back by the original holder.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Why is Kokabiel still able to move!" Shirou shouted. "Even though I've crushed all the bones in his body!"

When Sona was about to contact the fallen angel through a special route, Kokabiel's body suddenly floated in the air. His body still looked battered and covered in wounds, but not as badly as before. The healing magic that Kokabiel used on himself managed to heal his severe wounds even if it only minimal, but at least he could move and muster up a strength and power to carry out the final attack.

"Kokabiel why you still can move!" Shouted Arturia. "I saw it myself when Shirou beat you!"

"Heh, even though I was defeated by Emiya Shirou, my consciousness didn't go away," said Kokabiel. "That's why I use healing magic secretly and heal my body until at least I can move a little, I won't die or pass out until my goal is achieved."

Shirou, Arturia, Asia, Sona, Shinra, Rias, Rin, Griselda and Xenovia are horrified by Kokabiel's endurance and unyielding nature. He really is like a ċȯċkroach that really hard to die.

"Kokabiel what can you do with your body like that?" Asked Griselda. "Just hovering in the air like that must have caused you pain."

"I will make a final attack that will destroy all of you and the city," replied Kokabiel. "I will die, but at least I will take all of you to die with me! And the deaths of all of you will ignite a new war!"

"Why are you so fierce wanting to start a new war!" Shirou said. "Is the war between devil, angel and fallen angel is really that important to you!"

"When my Father died sacrificing Himself in the war between the three races, I felt like my life was over!" Kokabiel said. "Even though I became a fallen angel due to my crazyness in fighting, but I have never forget the love and kindness that my Father gave me! Father's death made my life meaningless, and I felt a deep grudge against the three races that started the war! Because of that stupid war Father has to died! I can't take it! Why did He must sacrifice Himself to stop that useless war! Most of His creation does not accept His existence! And Michael in Heaven even dared to imitate Father's! And Azazel didn't even remember our Father and chose to drown in his perverted and useless research! I can't stand all of that! The new war that I ignites will annihilate the three races! That annihilation will make my revenge completed!"

While gathering enormous amount of magical energy in his swayed left arm. Kokabiel said something that taboo. And Kokabiel's words naturally took Griselda, Xenovia and Asia into shock.

"God was dead !? That's impossible!" Xenovia said while trembling.

"...… God doesn't exist? god ... is dead? Then the love we were given by Him is ...… "Asia felt really shocked with a tear running down her cheek, she couldn't accept what Kokabiel had just said.

"That's a lies, God was Eternal!" Griselda trembling too but she choose to defend her faith, because she believes that God cannot possibly die.

"So that's the reason Kiba-kun has a weird Balance Breaker that combines Holy and Demonic," Sona said.

"Believe all what you want, I only tell you the truth!" kokabiel already finished gathering magic energy in his left hand then, which he formed into a giant spear of light. "Not even you Emiya Shirou can stop my Ultimate Attack! Now die all of you!"

Shirou not saying anything when he saw Kokabiel attack.. He jumped into the air then opened a gigantic size Divine Gate that swallowed the giant light spear made by Kokabiel. Kokabiel didn't have time to react when he saw his spear of light being swallowed up by Shirou's Divine Gate.

Shirou then punches Kokabiel in the face using the Boosted Gear which immediately makes Kokabiel fall to the ground.

Kokabiel was still conscious but he couldn't move anymore, the attack he had done earlier used up all of his strength.

Shirou landed on the ground again and walked towards Kokabiel.

he saw the helpless Kokabiel, and then said something to Kokabiel;

"You know Kokabiel, even though you have become a fallen angel but you still really love your Father. I admire that character of yours but you intend to start another war because you feel the three races are wasting your Father's sacrifice, I guess your actions like a child who angry and sad because of losing toys."

"What do you know about my sadness, Emiya Shirou!" Shouted Kokabiel.

"I know what kind of sadness you have, Kokabiel," said Shirou. "Because I already experience a same thing, but do you think your Father would be happy with what you are doing right now?"

"....." Kokabiel can't replied to Shirou's words, because he knew deep in his heart that his Father would feel sad about what he was doing now.

"You don't need to feel resentful or sad, Kokabiel, because your Father are not dead," said Shirou. "He is the one who created this world, if your Father dies then the world will also perish because the world needs God to exist. But if the world is destroyed God will still exist because God is the creator of the world, He only needs to create a new world if the old world is destroyed.

He is the Alpha and Omega. Do you think God will die by just sacrificing Himself? There Nothing in the world that can kill Him! Since there is no being in this world equal to Him. He can even annihilate Great Red or Ophis if He wants because He is Omnipotent! God cannot dead!"

Everything Shirou said made perfect sense, Kokabiel felt ashamed he didn't think of such a simple thing.

Feeling that he no longer needed to start a new war, Kokabiel's heart felt relieved. he doesn't know why his Father doesn't come back to this world anymore, belut he doesn't care.. What is important for Kokabiel is that he knows that his Father is still alive.
