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.

[ 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!

[ 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. ]

"Ruby"? Pah, I've never seen such a weapon inside Babil, so it must not be very powerful or important.

[idonthavearoute]

Well, you're wrong. It's the most powerful weapon ever. So much that it spans multiple franchises, you know!

[ She totally means to say parallel worlds, but this is F/KL Illya. Breaking the fourth wall is her thing. ]

[prototype_king]

A weapon that transcends worlds, eh? In the hands of a little girl?

Show me.

[idonthavearoute]

[ Well, she's a dumb and naive little girl.

So here's one Kaleidostick in hand. ]

Here it is!

[prototype_king]

And that's your proof of being a Hero?

[Attempted yoink! This will end well.]

[idonthavearoute]

H-Hey! You can't just take that from me!

[ The thing about the Kaleidostick is that Ruby has a great sense of humor.

It also has the ability to just turn whoever is holding it into a "magical" hero or at least shove them into an embarrassing outfit.

Is the King of Heroes strong enough to resist this Zelretch sorcery?? ]

I'll tell Kiritsugu on you! [ Or her brothers. ] They'll beat you up!

[prototype_king]

[He's got Mana A and I think some Magic Resistance in there somewhere, but...]

Gh!

[Immediately on feeling that whatever-it-is try to alter his mind, Gilgamesh tosses it back to the girl because I can't be bothered to describe Magical King Lyrical Gil-ko.]

What in all the afterlives is that thing?

[idonthavearoute]

[ Don't worry Ruby, she's gotten better at catching. This time the stick only proceeds to smack her twice in the face before she finally gets a good grip on it. ]

Oh, this is Ruby. Ruby, say hello.

Hello Gilgamesh. It's been a while, hasn't it?

Ehhh?? You know him!?

[prototype_king]

If I'd met that thing before, I'd have sent it to the bottom of the ocean.
