Storming the Matou Residence; Part 1

TYPE-MOON Universe, Earth, Japan, Fuyuki City. 

"So, this is the Matou Residence." Tatsuo muttered while standing outside of the gates of alarge, western-style mansion located on the south side of the Miyama Town suburbs where western houses were more popular. "it's got some pretty serious [Bounded Fields] set up around it, too. But those won't be a problem for me. The only question is, should I deal with those disgusting Crest Worms or free Sakura first?" 

After leaving the church, Tatsuo spent the next fifteen minutes traveling to the Matou Residence, one of the places where Magi lived in Fuyuki City. Though, it should be noted that the trip from the church to Miyama Town usually took around an hour on foot. So, it was clear to see just how fast Tatsuo was in comparison to the average person. 

As for the Crest Worms Tatsuo mentioned, in an attempt to prolong his life nearly five hundred years ago, Matou Zouken created these parasitic worms with a craving for human flesh and blood. In doing so, he managed to put his soul into them, no matter how many times they multiply, splitting his soul more and more in the process. 

He would then implant the Crest Worms into his descendants to prepare their bodies for the time when Zouken needed a new vessel. In the process, the one who was implanted with them would lose their life in a painful manner. 

And in this generation, Zouken had chosen his adopted Granddaughter, Matou Sakura to be his newest vessel. And while that was bad enough, the Crest Worms had a much different effect on her than they usually did on the other vessels, who were all male, in the past. Though, that topic will be covered later. 

Closing his eyes to consider his options, Tatsuo spread his [Perception] to cover the mansion. And although the [Bounded Fields] hindered the process momentarily, he was able to get a full picture of everything within the mansion grounds. 

"Hmm… There are three places with identical presences in there." Tatsuo muttered to himself. "Those are probably those disgusting Crest Worms. Let's see… The biggest one is in the basement. That's probably where most of the worms are gathered. Then, there's another one on the first floor. There's another one on the top floor, too. But that one is imbedded into another signature.And there's a signature with no magic power near that one… Looks like it's standing over it…" 

Reaching that point in his monologue, Tatsuo's eyes snapped open. Then, his head snapped in the direction of the signature on the top floor of the mansion as a scowl appeared on his face. 

"That little bastard." Tatsuo said with a growl in his tone. 

With that said, Tatsuo dashed forward, approaching the mansion's outer wall at high speed. He then activated his [Noble Phantasm], [Maiestas Divina], shifting his body into another dimension while still allowing him to move through this one. And while the description said that he could bypass attacks that did not reach a certain level, it also gave him the ability to phase through solid objects and magical barriers that did not reach that level, as well. 

So, instead of trying some type of stealthy infiltration of the mansion, Tatsuo simply ran through the walls and jumped through the ceilings to reach the place he wanted to be. All the while, he did not alert anyone to his presence. 

In less than a minute, Tatsuo reached the room from which he sensed the presences that drew his attention. When he did, he saw exactly what he expected to see. And the sight did not make him happy in the slightest. 

At the end of Tatsuo's line of sight, a young woman with long, lustrous violet hair, matching eyes, and an explosive figure that would not be apparent if Tatsuo had seen her in her every day clothing lying in a bed while writhing around and fondling herself with a vacant look in her eyes while her facial expression was full of lust. 

If that were all, however, Tatsuo would only look like a perverted dragon who could not control his lust. Though, the vacant look in the young woman's eyes would be something to be concerned about. Yet, the fact that her clothing was ragged, revealing all her most intimate parts while the skin that was revealed was covered in all sorts of bruises and cuts that were in the process of healing made the story a lot different. 

On top of that, there was a young man, appearing to be in his late teens with curly blue hair that resembled seaweed and grey-blue eyes standing at about 5'6" tall standing over the young woman with a riding crop in his hand while he used the other one to take off his pants. 

"Ha! That's right, you need me, don't you?" The blue-haired young man said with a sadistic smile on his face while envy flashed in his eyes. "You're not even really part of this family. So, why? Why were you chosen by Grandfather?" 

*Smack!* 

Shouting angrily at the girl, the blue-haired young man raised the riding crop in his hand before whipping the girl with it, putting another tear in her clothing. 

"Just because I was born without any Magic Circuits?" The young man shouted indignantly as he let his pants and underwear fall to his ankles. "But what does that matter? You still end up begging for this. Just like the little slut that you are!" 

*Smack!* *Smack!* *Smack!* 

"Ahn~~~~~~~~~~~~!" The young woman moaned, her body reacting ecstatically to the abuse while her empty eyes showed no joy. 

Whipping the young woman several more times, the young man climbed onto the bed where the girl lay before throwing the riding crop to the side. He then looked down at her with disgust. Though, that did not stop him from sporting an erection. 

Before long, the young man reached down to grab the young woman's legs and forced them wide open, revealing her most intimate area. Yet, he was never able to go any further than that. 

"I've seen enough." Tatsuo growled as he cancelled the Noble Phantasm. 

"What?" The young man shouted upon hearing that unfamiliar voice. 

*Swish!* *Buzz~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!* *Crack!* *Hum!* 

In the next instant, before the blue-haired young man could react, several things happened in quick succession. 

First, Tatsuo appeared next to the blue-haired young man with his modified trench knives in his hands. 

Second, Tatsuo swung the blade in his right hand, completely removing the young man's penis and testicles with one slash, splattering blood all over the bed and the young woman. 

Third, an alarm that could only be heard by those with a certain amount of magical awareness sounded throughout the mansion. 

Fourth, Tatsuo slammed his elbow into the blue-haired young man's jaw, breaking it in the process and sending him flying off the bed and slamming into the floor. 

And fifth, Tatsuo, using his [energy] created a magic circle around the bed, creating a [Protective Bounded Field] over the bed. 

"That should keep us safe while I work." Tatsuo muttered to himself. "Because I know it won't take long before someone shows up to see what happened here." 

Unfortunately, Tatsuo was not allowed much time to think, as the violet-haired young woman spread her legs before hooking them around Tatsuo and trying to pull him to herself. 

Looking down, Tatsuo could see the young woman's lust-filled expression as she reached her hands towards him, inviting him to finish what the blue-haired young man was unable to even start. However, her empty eyes made Tatsuo feel anger instead of lust from this situation. 

"I should have killed him." Tatsuo muttered. He then shook his head as he continued. "No, that's not important right now. I need to do something about these worms before I even consider that." 

With that, Tatsuo dematerialized his trench knives. Then, he reached down and pulled a thin needle out of his belt before stabbing it into a pressure point that would immobilize the young woman. 

"I'm gonna fix this." Tatsuo said gently as he removed his hand from the needle. "And after I'm done, you can go back to where you belong. She's there waiting for you, after all." 

Hearing what Tatsuo said, the violet-haired young woman's eyes widened in surprise. However, Tatsuo had no intension of answering the unasked question in her eyes. Instead, he placed his hand on the young woman's abdomen and closed his eyes to get a feel for how much [Energy] it would take to [Purify] the Crest Worms inside of her. 

'Shit, I forgot about that…' Tatsuo muttered internally. 'That bastard Zouken mixed some of that ooze from the tainted grail into the worms he put in her. I don't know if I have enough [energy] to do this alone.' 

{"Lici, we got a problem here."} Tatsuo said over the telepathic link between himself and Elicia. 

{"What's wrong, Tatsuo?"} Elicia asked in return with a hint of concern in her tone. {"Is that Zouken guy stronger than you thought? Or is Rider already there?"} 

{"No, Rider isn't here."} Tatsuo replied. {"And I haven't even seen Zouken yet. But the Crest Worms in Sakura are more than I can handle with my reserves alone. The problem is, if I use your magic power to help, I'm not sure if you'll be able to handle Kirei when Bazett shows up at the church."} 

{"Oh, is that all?"} Elicia asked in a nonchalant tone. {"Just give me a minute. I got you."} 

Meanwhile, back at the church, Elicia, who was still concealing herself on the church's roof while waiting for Bazett to show up to register with Kirei, held her left arm in front of her chest, revealing a leather wrist band that held a number of golden needles with dragon motifs. 

"[Mend the Seams of Reality, Scylla]." Elicia chanted. 

With that, Elicia partially removed the seal on her [Soul Armament] as a result, her magic power capacity and pressure spiked by five times their normal amount. However, thanks to her exquisite magic power control, she was able to maintain her [Camouflage magic], which was concealing her presence. 

{"Alright, go ahead and start."} Elicia said. {"I'll send you my magic power over the link. I should have more than enough for you to handle it. I'll still be good to go against Kirei, too. But you'll have to hurry, just in case Gilgamesh comes back."} 

{"Got it." Tatsuo replied. {"Then, I'll get started."} 

*Clap!*

With that, Tatsuo started making hand signs, each causing a magical symbol to appear in the air. Then, after two minutes, the time greatly reduced from what it would have usually been thanks to the quality of the [Energy] he received from Elicia through the link between a Master and their Servant, Tatsuo clapped his hands together, causing all the magical symbols to combine above the violet-hared girl's, Matou Sakura's, chest. Then, he raised his right hand before slamming it down on top of the combined symbol and forcing it into Sakura. 

*Hum~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!* 

With that, instead of a slapping sound, which would have been expected when Tatsuo brought his palm down on a young woman's skin, a strange humming sound rang out over the room. At the same time, Sakura's body began to jerk, as the Crest Worms inside of her started to do all they could to get away from the [Purification Magic], to no avail. 

Luckily, the Crest Worms' struggles did not harm Sakura. Though, they did feed on her Od voraciously to try and fend off the [Purification Magic]. However, that would not be an issue as long as she could get adequate rest after tonight's ordeal. 

"Argh! Who is it?" The screech of an old man echoed throughout the mansion. "That girl is mine! How dare you try to steal my vessel?" 

"Damn it, I'm running out of time." Tatsuo said to himself as he continued to observe the [Purification Magic] as it removed the Crest Worms from Sakura's body. "At least I know he won't try to kill her after I'm done. He'll want to try and start the process over again. So, that means, I'll be able to move to the basement where most of those disgusting things are. And if I start slaughtering them whole sale, he'll definitely prioritize getting rid of me before doing anything to her." 

With that, time seemed to pass agonizingly slowly, making the three minutes it took to remove the Crest Worms feel like three hours. Yet, in the end, Tatsuo was able to do it and free Sakura from Zouken's grasp, for now. 

"Alright, all done." Tatsuo said as he removed the needle from Sakura's chest. However, before she could move to check her own body, Tatsuo stuck it into her neck, causing her to fall unconscious. "But I think it would be best if you took a nap. Things are gonna get pretty dangerous." 

At the same time, Elicia resealed her [Armament Spirit], causing her magic power reserves and pressure to return to normal. 

Then, after putting Sakura to sleep, Tatsuo pulled the sheets off the bed and wrapped the girl in them. After that, he picked her up in a princess carry. 

*Bang!* 

Just at that moment, the door to the room burst open, causing Tatsuo, with Sakura in his arms, to look back. Expecting a decrepit old man to be standing there, he was surprised to see a middle-aged man with hair and eyes the same color as the eunuch he just created. 

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man, Matou Byakuya, the current head of the Matou family, looked around the room. And just as Tatsuo expected from a Magus, he showed no reaction when he saw his son lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood. 

"Who are you?" Byakuya asked in a stern tone. "And why are you attacking our Matou Family? I believe---" 

"You should worry more about getting your son some medical attention." Tatsuo said, cutting off the middle-aged man's questioning. "I saw he was about to rape this woman, so I got a little heavy-handed with my response. But you should be able to save his life if you hurry." 

Then, ignoring the glare he was receiving from Byakuya, Tatsuo started walking towards a window. 

*Crash!* 

Then, with one mighty kick, Tatsuo kicked the entire window, frame and all, out of the wall. 

"Oh, and you should probably get away from the mansion, things are gonna get outta control in a few minutes." Tatsuo added before jumping out of the whole in the wall. 

It took a moment for Byakuya to understand what Tatsuo was talking about. However, when he remembered the inhuman scream his father let out, understanding came to him quickly. He then rushed over to his son, who was still unconscious, picked him up roughly, and ran for the exit, hoping to get out of the mansion before Zouken started to rampage. 

A moment later, Tatsuo, with Sakura in his arms, landed in the lawn of the Zouken Residence. Then, after moving to the outer wall, he laid the unconscious girl on the ground, and once again, he created a magic circle around her. However, he used quite a bit more [Energy] when doing so. As a result, the [Bounded Field] that was created was much sturdier. On top of that, instead of just a hemisphere, it created a full sphere, separating the spot where Sakura was lying protected from all directions. 

Not long after Tatsuo finished setting up the defenses for Sakura, an old man with a hunched back, bald head, and a wrinkled face using a walking stick slowly stepped into the mansion's yard through a sliding glass door before calmly closing it behind him. 

"Why is a Servant attacking the home of the Matou Family?" The old man, Matou Zouken, asked in a flat tone. Though, the barely contained anger flashing in the depth of his eyes could not be hidden. "But what I do know, you've ruined a decade of magical research. And for that, I'll send you back to the Throne of Heroes even before the Grail War can begin. Then, I'll find your Master and turn them into the next subject of my magical experiments." 

In response, Tatsuo only rolled his eyes while looking at Zouken with undisguised disdain. 

"Well then, come on." Tatsuo said in a challenging tone. "Let's see if you can back up your threat. Oh, and trying to distract me while that one-armed Servant with the skull mask attacks me from behind isn't going to work, Zolgen Makiri." 

Tatsuo's last sentence caused Zouken's expression to change. At the same time, due to a moment of surprise, the air in the mansion's yard shifted momentarily, though there was no other indication that what Tatsuo said about the one-armed Servant was true.
