"ARTORIA!!"
A young man with brown hair and brown eyes ran through the almost endless corridor. After a while he made it to a gigantic set of double doors, he reached out to open it but the door opened before he could.
He makes his way inside the throne room. Sitting on an iron throne is a blonde woman with bright lime green eyes, with glowing, yellow pupils, that are devoid of emotion.
"You've finally arrived. Issei Hyoudou."
The young man Issei clenched his fists, an expression of anger and confusion painted over his face.
"Artoria... What the hell is all this!?! I don't get it..." He takes a step forward. "I thought your dream was to be King! A King that'd protect her people!"
Issei takes another step forward when two swords are pointed at his neck.
Issei: "Kiba... And Xenovia too?"
Xenovia remained silent, her Excalibur of destruction Durandal pointing at Issei.
"As knights of the new round table... We cannot let you pass!" Said Kiba, with his Holy demonic sword at Issei's neck.
Issei looked at his former friends in disbelief.
"What...?"
"Stand down." Both Kiba and Xenovia backed away as Artoria got up from her throne.
"As you can see, both Kiba and Xenovia are members of the round table. They are two out of the 12."
"Where are Rias and the others? Tell me!" He demanded. "Sacred Gear!" A red gauntlet with a green jewel and 2 golden spikes manifested on Issei's arm.
"Rias and the others are elsewhere within the castle. Safe and sound...away from you."
Issue charges towards Artoria with his sacred gear.
Boost!
Boost!
Boost!
"Explosio-" Artoria grabs his left and twists it. Issei drops to his knees with a pained scream.
"That's it? Vali put up more of a fight than you."
'Vali too!?' Issei looked up at Artoria who manifested a white gauntlet on her right arm.
"Wonderful isn't it? Vali came here a few days ago and tried to challenge me." The white gauntlet dematerializes from Artoria's hand.
"Unfortunately, it's useless to me. I wonder if I should give the Divine Dividing to Rias and I offspring."
"YOU-" A blue magic circle glows underneath Issei and blue chains wrap around him.
"I really should be thanking you. It's finally time for grandfather to finally be whole again." Her left hand glows red, her fist phases through Issei's chest.
"N-no! Ddraig do something!" He called out to the dragon but received no answer. Artoria pulls out a burning red orb from Issei's body, he squirms in pain from the loss of his sacred gear.
The glowing chains around Issei disappear allowing him to try to stand up.
"Ddraig....why?" He stared at the red orb in Artoria's hand.
"Now that's done." Coming out from Artoria's shadow is a young woman with long blonde hair coupled by a crown and a veil covering her face. She seemingly wore a black dress that exposes her navel and abdomen.
"Have the guards throw him in the dungeon with Vali." She told the older woman and turned away.
"Artoria..." Two knights come and chain up Issei as he watched Artoria walk away.
"Oh, and Issei." She glanced back at him. "Welcome to Camelot."
(Elsewhere)
The scene begins inside a small colorful cottage house, a man with long white hair wears a robe woven with the finest fabrics, though he still looks modest, his long hair appearing with the colours of the rainbow under sunlight.
"Greetings everyone, Bonne lecture!" He greets, he opens the giant book with golden symbols embedded in the spine. "You're just in time for my next reading!"
"Once upon a time, the world we live in was created from an extraordinary book. That book is the source of all myths, stories, living creatures, scientific techniques, and such more, as well as containing human history!"
"The swordsmen that were chosen by the Holy Blade have been keeping peace protecting that book. But one day, some bad people appeared to snatch it away, and the book was shattered!"
"The battle between the two sides has continued for many years and they fight even to this day..."
The man smiles as the scene changes to a park with monsters attacking people and destroying everything.
Amidst the chaos a man with a red sword kneeled in front of a young girl with blonde hair and green eyes.
"Hope exists beyond your resolution!" The man's sword glows as he stabs it into the ground creating a giant fiery explosion that consumes everything in sight.
When the light dies down the blonde girl wakes up and looks down at the strange red book in her hand.
Brave Dragon!
