The blue sky

???, Void, Mana Domain, ToH.

In a separated space, a woman was chained lifeless in a chamber. All her limbs were tightly covered by chains of various sizes. However, this scene was just a image to fool the unware beings. That woman was only a copy to be copied for the summoning. Her Trueself/Core was the chains themselves since the death was her true state and the life was only a far away memory.

This woman died once with a heroic fate, but the World tied her death to a endless slumber without true rest. Nothing could enter here beyond its 'Owner' and 'Creator' and its 'Other Side'.

However, this was only the beginning of her journey. A invisible light appeared in the chamber without be really there. The ToH was ignoring such intruder for unknown reasons before a pair of light beam has been fired towards the chains without any warning. When the beam hit the chains, these ones began became incorporeal before disappear or this seemed. This place wasn't part of material world and the images were only a projection of what was happening in that 'space'.

The woman, losing her supports to lean on, began fell on the smooth and simple floor like there was actually gravity in such 'space', but it was only the warning trigger of ToH that was working on its full function. Before neither a second, or even in the 'past' of this 'space', a Being was there. The concept of space and time was futile before this Being and such scene happened in three different chambers of ToH at same 'time', or not?

That Being reached out Its 'hand' to catch the light slowly through the scene that was being shown before stop all Its 'motion'. The scene began go back like a going back of a footage until it arrived to the moment before the light appeared.

This time, however, the chains were 'nowhere' to be seen in that chamber, neither the figure of the woman. In her instead, the invisible light was there like to piss off that Being that suddenly disappeared during the reproducing of the scene.

That Being seems turn its head before disappear from the chamber like it has never been 'here'. Meanwhile, that invisible light was still there, like nothing could threat it while chains were floating around it like ring. They slowly became blurry before leaving that chamber with nonchalance with the deceived Being fooled by mortals.

???, ???, ???'s castle.

A burning castle stood in the middle of the night, the flames were eating it from below to top, smokes were raising endlessly while the castle itself seemed to be cut entirely in the middle.

It was a Japanese castle that has been made through the sacrifice of human and Heroic Spirit, and now it was almost destroyed falling a part and consumed by the Flames of a old blacksmith. Its fate was already set in stone while a lonely figure was sited in a hall of the castle with closed eyes. Alone while the flames were getting closer, but that figure remained unconcerned while blood was flowing before be dried up by the heat around the figure.

A woman with a flashy purple and red outfit that resembled a kimono was muttering while her life was about to end, but the smile on her face was showing her true thoughts.

"... will catch you... sigh, I guess this is the end of my journey. I reached Zero. I finally managed to achieve what I've working for all my life. And since I found it... that's it. Now that I've reached the Zero State, there's nothing left for me to do. Besides, my own world is long gone. This has all been a wonderful, yet fragile dream... I have no regrets. Well... maybe I don't love that I'm going to go out watching a fire... I guess I'm even greedier than I thought..." (???)

The fire was getting closer while her voice was getting lower with her life breath getting weaker. A samurai who accomplished what she wished for and dying was the fate that was awaiting her. Some black root was being incirinated near her while a wakizashi was planted beside.

"If I had a choice... I'd want the last thing I ever see...to be the big, beautiful, blue sky..." (Woman samurai)

"It seems today's your lucky day, Musashi Miyamoto." (???)

A femminile voice came from nowhere beside Musashi without any warning. It was Adelina's voice, yet there were a slight different in the tone, more like another person was using her voice.

"..." (Musashi)

Don't even having the strength to stand up, Musashi just raised her head without able to open her dried eyes before losing control on her own body. In that moment, she had only one name in her head to adress the source of that voice.

'...Shinigami...' (Musashi)

Even if that entity wasn't the real deal, it could still take her soul from her body. Adeline was there, or rather one the embodiments/avatars of her ritual was there to take the soul of that poor woman before. The ritual was splited in 3 different worlds and 3 different summoning subjects with one further ritual to send a clone of Adeline. She exploited her junior's uniqueness to deceive Gaia, Alaya and Zelretch at same time. At the moment, that avatar was disguished as Alaya without alarming those three freaks and get Musashi's body before Alaya itself 'while' another avatar infiltrated inside the Throne of Heroes to get her Spirit Origin, or rather her True Soul.

If possible, Adeline would like to manipulate Akasha/Root to clean her presence, but there were too many dangers in the process.

So, before Shimosa singularity collapse on itself and after Musashi's death. That avatar took Musashi's body that disappeared without leaving traces behind. With its task completed, it raised a middle finger to the midair before disappearing from that singularity. It was right to ask if it was ever been there firstly too. By the way, that middle finger was for the everwatching di** mage stalker.

Night, Tadao's apartment, normal residence, bedroom.

Tadao was there standing, like a statue, while he was pouring his spiritual power with Adeline's help. After about 20 minutes after the beginning of the ritual, all the light of the magic circle began gather in the center. A femmine figure began materialize before a woman replaced that flashy figure. By the way, All the windows of his flat were shutted time ago by Adeline to not let out that light show.

That woman was Musashi with her usual attire. Her hair were waving from the wind created by her summoning, her swords was there to accompany her long journey, her shiny azure eyes was looking him with playfulness and slight confusion. Tadao remained silent observing the figure before him while Adeline's happy laught filled his mind.

That was a totally facepalm situation for David, while Tadao was there to welcome their unique visitor.

"Servant Saber, Shinmen Musashi has arrived!Exceed my expectations, shinigami-san!" (Musashi)

???, control room.

In the white room, a dogfight was in progress between a man with white coat and a masked red haired woman. Several swearing were flying in the room while fists sound rang endlessly.

"Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda!" (Adeline)

"Old witch!!! This time I'm going to teach you a serious lesson!" (David)
