"Hifumi!" Mikan shouted before she, Saki and Briar jumped on top of me, happy that I had returned and then it became a dogpile for some reason as Okura, Jiji and the rest also jumped on top me while Saiki was just sighing as he shook his head.
"Alright get off me already! Eww you got snot on me Jiji!" I couldn't help but say as basically the touching moment was ruined by all my friends I made jumping on me while I got up and wiped away all the crap that got on my clothes.
"Sorz Fumi! I-I thought you were going to be that crazed psychopath forever!" Jiji couldn't help but rub his eyes as while he acts like, no actually he is an idiot, he does genuinely care for those he calls his friends as me and the rest of his group became good friends while training up for this whole fiasco in the first place.
""Good grief, this group is almost more of a hassle than my normal friends…."" Saiki couldn't help but say as he shook his head while he massaged it.
"Please, don't compare us to those nutjobs that make your life miserable." I say shaking my head to which Jiji looks between the two of us.
"Are all of his friends like Hifumi but have crazy personalities or something!" He said while making the 'scream' face from the famous painting of the same name.
""Hell no, if they were like him I'd be in a mental asylum from the brain aneurysms I would get from dealing with their bullshit."" Just imaging them having insane powers like me gives him a chills though Kaito was trying to get powers but he was failing in the spiral department which was a good thing in his opinion.
"Uhh guys, I hate to cut the conversation short but shouldn't we go deal with those two guys summoned by the will of humanity to kill Hifumi?" Momo couldn't help but say as we looked back to see both Esdeath and Maou fighting on equal terms with Archer and Sakamoto Ryoma.
"Sakamoto Ryoma and EMYIA huh? I guess the counter force really did see me as a threat to humanity if they sent two our way, Serenity, Kulkukan come to me." I say as I use my link between the two to pull them both to my side, more so for Kukulkan as she wasn't here during all of this in the first place.
"Oh? Did you require my aid master?" Kulkukan who was actually back at home relaxing during all this, was called here and was looking at everyone and seeing Esdeath and Maou fighting Sakamoto and EMIYA nearby.
"Yeah, I'd like you to work along with Serenity to deal with those two, once their gone things should go back to normal." I say while she just rubs her chin at that.
"Master, I think your mistaken about the situation here, I don't think you should be worried about them and more about who's actually coming here soon enough." She said while looking towards the sky.
"Wait…. What do you-" But I was soon cut off by a shout.
"I got massive space time fluctuations in this area! The Invasion! It's not over yet!" Rokuro shouted out at everyone making our eyes widen as the battle stopped between them as we saw the sky begin to shake.
*Creeak Creeak Crack Crack CRASH!*
And soon enough Space itself was torn apart before a hole in space was torn open that looked akin to a black hole before three figures pulled through as it disappeared behind them.
"N-No way…." I couldn't help but widen my eyes at who had suddenly appeared before us as sweat trickled down my forehead.
""Oi Hifumi, you seem to already know who they are, just looking at them is giving me the chills…."" Saiki said as even he was feeling nervous while looking at them.
"Saiki, remember when I mentioned that those Lovecraftion monsters from the Cthulhu mythos existed in our universe…. Well your looking at three Old Ones just wearing the skin of little girls and women as to not instantly break one's mind at the sight of them…." I said which made Saiki flinch and Okura to shake in fear.
"Y-y-your kidding right? If they are here then…." Okura couldn't finish the sentence as true fear overtook him.
"We are royally fucked…." Even I was terrified as nothing in my arsenal could outright kill them and at most could annoy them as they weren't heroic spirits but the Living Bodies of those three old ones.
"Uehehehe, I can't believe you were able to get us here from that little blip on the radar Abby…." The Jellyfish looking Van Gogh said to the pale white skinned Abbigal Williams.
"Of course I could, luckily those fools worshipped us like their gods and gave us enough power and technology to make this long distance trip back to Gaia, and look the guys who destroyed our invasion are still here, counter force guardians as well." The third woman, who was Jacques De Molay, said as she and the rest looked down at us in particular.
Though Sakamoto and Oryuu both launched up into the air to attack those three while EMIYA changed his swords back into a bow before he began to launch a barrage at the three of them.
"How pitiful, if this is the best that humanity has then this will be too easy." Abbigail said as she summoned a key shaped staff and passed through a hole in literal space to which multiple tentacles appeared to assault Sakamoto and Oryuu all while deflecting EMIYA' s attacks at the same time.
'Cmon think, think! There has to be something that I can do to make this a situation that I can deal with later on!' I couldn't help but shout out as I looked at everything that I had to see what I could use for this situation as a whole.
While I was thinking this I looked at everyone else, "Saiki, Maou, Esdeath, Briar, Kukulkan, Mikan, Okura, everyone, I will figure something out on how to deal with this but you guys need to just get out of here!" I said before cutting open a whole in this fake space that would lead back to the real world.
"But we want to help you with this!" Okura said what everyone was thinking on this only for me to point my thumb up towards those three who were now beginning to kick both Sakamoto and EMIYA's asses.
"Do you got a plan to deal with eldritch monsters like those three off the top of your head them in all ears to here it." I said to which they looked at each other and they also didn't really have a clue.
"No? Alright then it's best you guys just get out of here, I will do the best I can and don't worry, I won't die that easily." I said with a confident smile on my face while internally I was sweating as I still haven't a clue as how to deal with this problem.
But not having any other options on hand they all left leaving it to me to figure out how to deal with this situation as is.
"Master, as you are now you don't have the ability to deal with them." Fortunate Son said as only he and Shinigami in her human form remained behind.
"Humuhumu, yes this is a pretty tricky situation, I mean with everything you have you can hurt them and those eyes if given enough time could kill them, but trying to understand thier 'True' bodies will make you go mad on a Spiritual and even a Conceptual level just from trying to comprehend them." She said as she put a pipe in her mouth before said pipe began to blow out bubbles from it.
"…. What are you? Sherlock Holmes or something?" I said to which she spun aroun and was in an old British detective outfit.
"It's Elementary my dear Hifumi." She said making me just groan at her antics.
"Master, I think a found a solution that you can use to make a temporary solution for this problem of yours, however to hold them here your going to need to let go of your powers to hold them here." He said before the shop appeared and a certain item was before my eyes.
"Ehhh? Are you sure? What your suggesting is locking his powers to activate that and start something rather massive you know?" She said while blowing more bubbles from her pipe.
"As far as I can tell it's the only way, if left alone those two will perish and they will focus you to get out of here, however if you lock both the Spiral and Anti-Spiral energies within you to fill this with enough energy to do what needs to be done then there's a chance to seal them away for a time." He said making me grimace as this would be a severe loss in strength and power as I would lose Complete Access to both the Spiral and Anti-Spiral when I do this until I deal with them for good.
I gritted my teeth before spending 100,000,000sp to buy a golden cup that appeared in my hands.
An unpowered Holy Grail, it was just the cup and without any power it can't do anything and that's why I could only afford this version as the one that can grant the owner their wish costs 100 billion SP in return.
So I grabbed it with both hands and let it rapidly drain me off all my Spiral and Anti-Spiral energies as it began to glow in a green and purple light before I fell to my knees and felt drained of everything I had.
*Haaa Haaa Haaa* I breathed heavily as I looked at the now filled cup before I grit my teeth.
And made my Wish
And the World changed before I was sent flying out and back into the real world as I lay their weakly against an alley wall while grabbed my chest with a deep empty feeling inside of me for the powers I had to relinquish to grant that wish.
"….. I need…. More power in order to stop the Singularity I just created….." I said before pulling myself up and reappeared where everyone else was at as I fell to the ground as they ran up to me to see if I was okay.
'I need to perfect the Spiral, I thought I would have more time before I decided to go but looks like it's now or never.' All I could think to myself before I lost consciousness from a lack of energy.
Seems I need to go to that world and learn how to perfect it and reclaim what I just lost.
Time for me to start the Steel Ball Run.
