➥ Ｉ．

Hello everyone. My name is Illyasviel von Einzbern and this is--[ Suddenly there's a tiny jeweled circle with wings flying up between the girl and the camera. ] H-hey! I'm trying to give a good impression!

Then you should have allowed me to be the one to give the initial introduction. [ There's a deeper voice, presumably from the object that's flitting about. ] Honestly, I could have really made it quite the explosive entrance.

Whaaaat!? No, you're not allowed to blow up anything on our first day! [ Ignoring the fact they were on display for all to see, Illya focuses more on the conversation with the sentient object. ] We're going to get in so much trouble if you do that... Besides, isn't it the duty of a magical girl to prevent that sort of thing?

This is a world designated of heroes pulled from several other parallel worlds, Illya. [ Bouncing about, the wings of this object flutter seemingly to keep it afloat. ] Don't you think imperative we test the strength of their hearts from the start?

No! That's a bad idea! [ Now the younger girl is flailing around to try to catch it. ] That's not our job and besides, we'll end up as an enemy to all of the heroes if we do something so destructive! Now come on! Let me introduce myself before you get us into even more trouble.

➥ ＩＩ．

[ It's another typical battle, except this time there's girl who looks as though she doesn't belong here in the slightest. In fact, she seems to be arguing otherwise with another person, who's trying to shove her off towards safety. ]

--but you don't understand! I'm a hero too!

➥ ＩＩＩ．

[ Funny, what's Illya doing in the Palace? She doesn't live there and she's not the type to be interested in machinery. Even more interesting to note is that she's giving the impression that she's sneaking around, the girl peeking around corners before diving towards the next obstacle she can hide behind. There's nothing sinister about this in the slightest. Nope. Not one bit. ]

2 - well I need to practice with this guy and this can only end well, right?

[prototype_king]

Hmph! Hero this, Hero that. Do you even know what that means, little girl?

so long as he has a heart...

[idonthavearoute]

Yes, yes I do. I was brought here to be a hero, so that means I must be one too.

He's needed to get this off his chest for a while

[prototype_king]

Heroes aren't Heroes because they're chosen by some god. We're Heroes because we reach out and seize our destiny by the throat!

I should know, after all - I'm the original Hero.

[idonthavearoute]

Are you really?

[ The tiny girl will look him up and down, side to side, before boldly stating her analysis. ]

You're dressed in gold, which isn't very hero-like. I suppose if you wanted to be seen brightly, then it would work, but it's still too flashy. Heroes are subtle, like Spiderman and Batman.

Plus, heroes don't really use that many swords. A true hero has a single sword that they've acquired after such a long and hard journey. Did you go through a hard journey for your weapon?

[prototype_king]

Heh~! You really don't know who I am, do you?

[With a snap of his fingers, both blades of Enki are in his hands.]

Defeating the forest guardian Humbaba, slaying the Bull of Heaven, questing to the ends of the world itself for the ultimate prize! Catch up on your reading, little girl - I'm Gilgamesh, King of Uruk and King of Heroes!

And as for your question, this is what I gained from my quests - Enki, the swords named "wisdom". Babil is my birthright, but this is what I gained by my own two hands at the beginning of history!

[idonthavearoute]

Huh? Gilgamesh?

[ Why does she suspect this is someone she's supposed to stay far away from? ]

So you're a king and not a hero! That's what it means to be the King of Heroes, right?

[prototype_king]

It means I'm both, little girl! Now stay out of the fight until you're at least basically literate. Honestly, I'm only mankind's original legend...

[idonthavearoute]

A king can't be a hero though. That's not how it goes in fairy tales. Well, I suppose King Arthur is the exception, but other than that, it'd be boring to have the same story twice.

[prototype_king]

Oh come on, you've heard of Saber and not me?! This is ridiculous! Him and his damn holy fairy sword are probably where you got this ridiculous idea that a Hero only carries one weapon, isn't it? Children these days...

[denials]

[ You are still being shoved away but your not-so-charismatic doppelganger. ]

C'mon, get out of here already.

[idonthavearoute]

[ The rudest doppel in the world!! ]

If I leave though, who will save this beloved land and all of it's people?!

[ Answer: probably one of the many more experienced "heroes" here. ]

Did Kiritsugu put you up to this? He did, didn't he?

[denials]

Any of the more experienced heroes here, of course.

[ Duh, Illya, just duh. ]

Do you think I need him to send me up to save your sorry ass? I wouldn't hear the end of it if you get your head chopped trying to play Magical Girl against a monster.

[idonthavearoute]

We're just as experienced as them! [ Insisting on this as she's pushed along. ] This isn't much of a rescue, you know. Do I need to teach you how to really do it?

[denials]

Huh? Do you want me to sweep you off your feet and carry you like a princess~?

[ Where are your hands going Kuro. ]

Get some Prana from you while I'm at it~~?

[idonthavearoute]

[ Swatting at! ]

Y-You can't do anything like that! I'm saving myself for someone special!

[denials]

So you would let me die just like that?

What a horrible person are you becoming, sis. I suppose I will have to return to my old ways...

[ So deadpan. ]

[idonthavearoute]

N-No! [ Why does the guilt tripping tactic always work on her? ] Let's just go then! Before anyone notices the two of us.

II

[emptysword]

Ilya.

I can handle this, alright?

[Guess who is being an idiot.

Yet.

Again.]

[idonthavearoute]

No.

[ While it has always been Illya's dream to be rescued by her dashing adopted brother on the field of battle, her wounds almost deadly and the look in his eyes as loving can be, this is reality.

And reality tells her that this idiot is only going to get hurt if he stays out here! ]

This is my fight, so you need to run away. I'll cover you, don't you worry!

[emptysword]

[He's going to just. Trace. Caliburn and turn towards the enemy.]

'm afraid that's not an option.

[idonthavearoute]

[ All of a sudden, she's running up in pink and white. Don't worry, she had the decency to transform when his back was turned. She's saving the rest for marriage u///u ]

Sorry, big brother, but it's up to me now!

[emptysword]

...Ilya.

[have that 'please tell me you are not serious' glare he's so used to giving you.]

[idonthavearoute]

[ Have the 'I'M A SPOILED BRAT AND WILL SEND KIRITSUGU AFTER YOU IF YOU TELL ME I CAN'T HAVE WHAT I WANT' look in return. ]

[emptysword]

Fine. You can help out. This time.

[idonthavearoute]

[ Illya knew he would see things her way. After all, she's the heroine and she must always get her way. ]

Look alive, big brother, or I might end up doing better than you!
