12 Chapter 11

(Kiritsugu pov)

The past few weeks has been beyond chaotic First the grail war, which was horrible and took everything from me. Illya, I will get you back no matter what. Then the whole curved grail, and the fire, yeah that was a nightmare. There was the kid I saved using Avalon, Nicholas, the fact he survived was beyond a miracle. after adopting the kid our life together started out normal, however, mistakes were made first being telling him about magecraft, he somehow talked me into teaching him, I don't know how, I mean really how does an eight year our talk an adult into teaching him magic, isn't it supposed to be the other way around.

Aside from that things were normal, or as normal as they could be, I activated his circuits and holy crap are we sure he's not from a long line of magus, then his origins element which was a surprise. O taught him some basic spells and divided to dear his dedication, leaving a note saying I'll be out and to practice the spells I taught him, well see how dedicated he is to being a magus, if he doesn't practice, I end his lessons now, stupid, yes, petty, extremely, especially for a child, but being a magus is not a game, one mistake is all it takes. When I got home I saw him Infront of the tv, seeing as he didn't practice I confirmed my choice to end his magecraft lessons.

That was the moment my life was changed in a way I never imagined, how, well Nicholas showed me his magic, his TRUE MAGIC, not magecraft, true magic. I believe I responded appropriately to the situation, fainting is the appropriate response to this situation right.

The next day Nicholas told me more about his magic, as well as a few examples, I still can't understand how he turned me into a woman, not just in appearance, everything down to my core, my very DNA was that of a woman, it was as if I was a woman from the start, and that is terrifying.

After turning me back to normal we talked about various things and somehow he convinced me to takes him to the mages association, how, I don't know, why, because it will be funny to see those pompous lords and other 'prestigious' noble families react to an eight year old using true magic, no doubt it will beat their egos something fierce, a few might even die from the shock and rage, now that I want to see.

The next day we leave for the airport, however on the way Nicholas points out a worm, which I know belongs to Zoken Matou, a rather troublesome opponent, can I kill him, yes, however it will be difficult and I'll have to pay a price, not something I can do right this moment.

Unfortunately Nicholas ignores me and does something to the worm, and seconds later he throws up. Rushing to him I grab him to see if he's ok, before I hear him mumble something, suddenly the world moves and where in front of the Matou manson, how is that possible, was it his magic, no, I see this is the speed power he told me about.

To distracted by what just happened I'm to late to stop what about to happen. Realising whats about he's about to do and the repercussions, I try to stop Nicholas from doing something stupid, but its to late, before I can do anything he destroyed the gate, before going inside. Shocked by the show of strength I follow him but he's already at a door going into the basement, before I can stop him he's already gone down.

Following him I see the dark basement suddenly light up and what I see disgusts me to no end.

While it's not something I haven't seen before during my career it's still a horrifying sight. Staring at the sight of a little girl younger then Nicholas in the worm pit, not even reacting to our presence, infuriates me immensely. Just the thought of Illya going though the same thing, chills me to the core. While mulling with my thoughts, Nicholas makes his move and it reinforces why magician's are something to be feared, he just did it, in an instant what would have taken me weeks of preparation and recourses and would have been considerably more destructive. Watching the fight, no it's not a fight, you can't call something so one sided a fight, it's just Nicholas toying with him. In no time at all the fight over, Nicholas looks up to me, asking permission to kill him.

Can I allow this, can I really allow an innocent eight year old child to kill, even if it's a monster like Zoken, can I allow this. No, I can not allow my son to lose his innocence like this, I'll do it.

"Nicholas, make his body real, no escapes no trump cards"

With this, despite being involved he wont be the one killing him, he can stay innocent for longer.

"Nicholas. Take her up stairs and wait for me"

Waiting for the children to leave I look to Zoken.

"He found one of your worm spying on us, from there he did something, probably made a connection to it to see the other worms. I guess he saw this and we'll, here we are"

"All these years of effort, ruined by a child, I can not accept this. I WILL NOT"

'BANG'

"Goodbye, Zoken Matou"

Turning around I walk up the stairs into the main house where I see the other residents looking at me scarred.

"He's dead, if you want revenge you can try however"

Pulling out my gun, however they immediately shake their heads and back away. Ignoring them I walk to the front door I see Nicholas and the girl waiting for me, before I can say anything I see all our travel bags stacked next to them, didn't we leave them at the bus stop, and why are their more, are they the girls. Wait what.

"Come on dad, we got to get to the airport, our bags are sorted also I sent all of Sakura's stuff to one of the empty rooms at home"

"Wait what"

Unable to process what's happening, Nicholas and the girl who I assume to be Sakura start walking out of the estate.

"Wait what"
