Cruel Fate

!!!!!In Hypermans dimension!!!!!

Scathach: So, what does a primordial like you require of me?

Hyperman: Tell me have you heard about the counter-force?

A brief pause went on making scathach take a pause in the conversation, there were several thoughts going through her head.

She clearly knows about the counterforce as Gaia/Alaya herself requested her help while she was meditating in the land of shadows.

Several ruptured timelines were gods survived and Holy Grail wars.

Such troublesome creation.

She will take the job of the first for her to participate.

She participated in one grail war in her real body with a red-haired boy with gold eyes.

Wonderful memories they are.

What a troublesome and brave boy facing a newly birthed god, though she dealt with it swiftly.

Now brings the question is that the being infront of Gaia/Alaya but a separate entity altogether, more powerful them an any gods she has seen.

So is this Rick Sanchez his part of Counter-Force?

A separate one not for the world but something else.

Scathach gave a scrutinizing gaze to the being who was reading a magazine for different foods.

Just what deal did Rick Sanchez made with him.

She needs to get her questions and words in order.

Scathach: Yes I have so what deal did Rick make in exchange for his wish?

Hyperman looks up from the magazine.

Hyperman: Straight to the point I see. Well in simple words revenge as you have seen in his memories about his wife and child. How troublesome with people invading universes to create messes for me to clean up.

Scathach narrows her eyes at this statement.

Scathach: As I thought this is not your first agent of your counter-force. There are others I presume?

Hyperman: Well yes as things go sideways some people needs to clean some mess up.

Scathach: Your mess I presume?

Hyperman: ...…

There was tense silence between the two with red eyes piercing through his suit for any deceit.

Hyperman was tapping his fingers on how to address this situation.

He straightened himself up to address the issue.

Hyperman: I was a mortal once like you, a great scientist like Rick Sanchez. I created many great things and at the same time horrid creations. Things tend to go sideways when you give your creations free will and intellect. Just like my ancestor the "Creator" did with me as he could not predict my rise to power through my creation. I think you know well the cost of freedom and freewill than anyother.

Scathach: ...…..

Scathach: I am "NOT "a jester.

Hyperman: So you are one of the greatest warrior in existence.

Scathach: I assume you require me to teach this person as your hunting dog?

Hyperman: Well-

Scathach: I teach no dogs but "WARRIORS" do you think I teach all of those who are my students to be a tool!

Hyperman: ....

Hyperman: "UNDER MY AUTHORITY IF YOU GRANT ME THIS FAVOUR, I WILL GRANT THY WISH"

A ripple went through out the universe as some one has declared a law.

Scathach was shaken.

If a primordial declared their promise with their True name. It must be fulfilled as it uses the very divinity of soul to tie a contract with the one, they want to exchange a contract with.

She feels the divinity seep through her body ready for her to accept this contract.

Scathach closed her eyes to think this through.

It was a big decision in her life.

She thought back to the memories of her childhood, her adventures and exploits, the moment she fell in love with Setanta.

All this when she is facing certain death, she so desired.

Her wish to die a warrior's death by an unknown enigma.

She wanted to die by the hands of someone she loved, but this is the best she could get.

But what was the catch?

Training a final student.

Scathach: Haa…

Scathach: So, what are the abilities you gave my new student and what are the drawbacks.

Hyperman: Splendid!

Hyperman: I gave him four abilities with one with the most prominence.

Hyperman: First is the ability of minor creation so that he does not run out of materials for his Technological innovation.

Second is on of the abilities of the counter guardian from your world. Which is to have a reality marble filled with noble phantasm with the experience of their owners.

Scathach raised an eyebrow at that.

That was some really heavy firepower.

Just what will Rick be fighting?

She opened her mouth to show her discontent.

Hyperman: I know you have questions but let me finish. All will be explained in a short time.

Scathach: Fine but you must tell me my student's mission.

Hyperman: Haa you are stubborn you know.

A smirk made way on Scathach face.

Scthach: If I wasn't I wouldn't be bathing in the blood of God's.

Hyperman: Oh, my how scary, Anways let's go back to our discussion.

Scathach pouted as her intimidation was shunned away. It worked on many welps who tried to force her to marry them because they had the blood of divine right in them. So did them a favour and bathed in their blood to show she has the right to say "NO".

Hyperman just shakes his head.

Hyperman: For his third and fourth it is a little bit complicated.

Scathach: How so.

Hyperman: I had to restructure his soul to accommodate this ability. The concept to pierce through all of creation and Concept to nullify and destruction.

Scathach frowned at this statement. Playing with someone's soul is cruel. But it seems there is more to it than that.

Hyperman: There was a person named "Enryu" who was the greatest spear bearer in his known creation. He killed several powerful beings who were hailed as a God or beyond that. I had to ask his permission to take a portion of his power to replicate it. I had to give a price for it which was not so steep as I imagined.

Scathach: Ho! A fellow spear user I would love to meet such person who seems to has the same legend as I.

Hyperman: Well rick has that power so you can see the glimse of it's potential.

Scathach: Then I am looking forward to it.

Scathach: So, the last?

Hyperman: Can I not tell you?

Scathach:????

Scathach: How can I teach him if I do not know all arsenal of his skills.

Hyperman: It has something to do with knowledge and my "LAW" so please refrain from asking some questions about it. I think you know of Ricks intellect.

Scathach: Hmm.

Scathach: Fine so now for my questions. What did "YOU" do to his soul.

Hyperman: Haa I am afraid you are about to get very angry.

Scathach: ....

Scathach: It has something to do with you isn't it.

Hyperman: Just as I said free will comes with a price, and when you explore to the extreme of one's freedom you go to the realm of the forbidden. I know I have gone there. So did Rick's original existence. To kill a God, you need a God. To Kill and Irregular you need an Irregular. I hate quiring a certain red head woman.

Scathach: ........

Scathach: Ricks intellect.

Scathach: How did he get such knowledge that matches the second True magic?

Hyperman: There is not a single way to reach the root. Magic is not necessarily needed for it.

Scathach: Are you saying he is connected to the Root?

Hyperman: It's classified.

Scathach: You're hiding something very important from me. Back to my previous question what did you do to his soul. Did you think I would not recognize the sudden shades? It's cruel for even gods to tinker with existence and origin of a creature no matter how sinful it is.

Hyperman: If you have seen his memories, you should have known how much lives he ended. His irresponsibility has cost billions and Trillions in certain universe. If someone else judged him he would get a ticket with Lucifer in a straight jacket for all his mishaps with his inventions. He had psychopathic tendencies and extreme god complex. So I had to make sure that part is edited and cut out for some sane functionality.

Massive killing intent was flooded in the imaginary space.

Scathach: You teared his soul apart for that?

Hyperman did not even flinch he was used to it.

Hyperman: The way I found him his soul was teared into pieces. I did what I had to do to fix him to best of my abilities. I may be a primordial but overriding law of another primordial is a pain. I am powerful but there are some beings I have to keep in check. If there is Light there will always be shadows in its wake.

Scathach gave a scrutinizing look for any lies even if she cannot see any expression. She had to resign herself for what to come.

Hyperman: So all is up to shape?

Scathach: One last question, where will you be sending him for his mission.

Hyperman: He will get a run for his money. But with your training he will be able to triumph gods.

Scathach: A cruel fate to fight gods for all of eternity?

Hyperman: ...…

Hyperman: Every power has a cost.

A bitter taste was in Scathach mouth.

She will be training someone who will have to face a same fate as her.

Will she be able to do this to someone.

Making them walk a tragic road.

She shakes her head.

The decision was already made from the start.

Rick dug his own damnation.

So, she must at least test his will to the limit to face the trials that he will be facing.

Hyperman: Also, Rick might be able to fulfil your wish before I do.

Scathach gave a glare at Hyperman.

Scathach: Is this your goal, forcing him to kill me instead of yourself? Are you going back on your word primordial?

Hyperman: No, it is just that some interesting development will happen.

Scathach gave a blank stare.

Scathach: You used your clairvoyance?

Hyperman raised a finger to his mouth.

Hyperman: It's a secret.

Scathach just rolled her eyes. She stood up from the table to address the meeting is over.

Scathach: No go away from my domain you sly fox.

Hyperman: It has been nice to talk to you the Great Witch of Dun Saith.

Scathach showed a middle finger and was promptly transported to her domain.

!!!!!!In land of Shadows!!!!!

Rick/Enryu was slowly gaining consciousness and he stil had a headache.

It was like someone is dancing on top of his head.

Strange memories continued to assail him after he had that beautiful memory of his wife.

He had the dream of a white-haired man again fighting a man in a blue spandex with a red spear on a school yard.

Why was he having such dreams? These are not his memories or experience. It was like he was there fighting with that Blue haired man with two short swords.

Rick/Enryu got up groggily from the bed and quickly oriented himself with the surrounding.

He was in a room filled with medieval furniture and ornaments.

With his clothes stripped bare with nothing but an underwear.

Oh man.

Whoever stole his stuff is going to get an ass whopping from him!

Rick stood up and quickly looked around the room for any spy cameras, he did not find any cameras but what he found was strange glowing symbols.

Runes.

He recognized with his ability of omniscience.

Oh boy.

He is in a place of sick wizard and witches for experiments.

If he was why was he not chained up in a cell?

????: So, you woke up.

Rick quickly turned around and unconsciously reached for his guns in his coat, but was reminded of his nude body.

Rick/Enryu: FUCK!

The strange women threw something at him which he unconsciously caught because of his danger senses going haywire.

????: Wear this your training starts now. There will be no breaks. Only for quick sleep of two hours and small respite to eat. You cannot leave until your training is done.

Rick stared at his imprisoner with n eagle eye.

Did she know he was coming or that Hyperman guy set this up.

Now that he get's a good look and a very good luck.

He sees a beautiful women in a black skin tight body suit with the same red spear he saw in his dream giving him a sense of dejavu. Red Eyes and purple hair and a beauty that will make Morty have a seizure.

That was weird.

He wanted that spear.

Rick/Enryu: Who are you again? Also did that Hyperman guy set you up?.

????: Questions later now move! Your training starts now!

Rick/Enryu: Now hol-

With a sudden shift in air a punch landed on Ricks Gut taking the wind out of him.

Rick: Wheeze!! Cough!

Blood poured out.

Rick feels to the ground holding his stomach.

He was in extreme pain.

Pain was an old friend as he faced worse.

Rick/Enryu spat curses in his mind.

Rick: FUCK! THE FUCK ARE YOU!

????: Your master Scathach I will be training you under you owner's request.

Master? Owner? The fuck is she taking about? Rick sanchez is a free motherfucker bitch!

Rick/Enryu: I AM NO ONES PET! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING YOURSELF MY MASTER!

A kick went on Ricks face further disorienting him creating a shockwave planting him to the wall of the room with debris of bricks flying around.

????: You lost your freedom from the moment when you took the deal with that being. If you had a clear head not thinking about revenge all the time. You should have known what you were getting into. You have to serve that being from all of eternity.

This shook Rick to the core.

Did he become a slave.

He knows for a fact she is not lying! He did make a contract but not for eternity.

He was scammed!

Rick/Enryu: F-uck!

Rick managed to say from the pain.

He really has lost reason to fall this low for his revenge.

His sins have finally caught up to him.

God finally had his bullshit.

Is he in hell to serve as a hunter or to be indoctrinated in a cult of God.

Anyways he was fucked!

He needs to escape ASAP!

Rick/Enryu Tried to use his power but to his suspicion it was sealed.

He was not dreaming for sure as he is feeling pain.

The pool of blood on the floor from his mouth on the floor.

He can see his face completely now.

He had such a bad headache and was so coming in terms with his new arrangement that he could not get a good look.

Messy red hair that he noticed in the makeshift Japanese home in the mirror of the bathroom in a quick glance.

Hollow tired eyes.

Messed up face with broken news and missing teeth.

Lean build body with some muscles that make him fit but is malnourished with cuts and bruises.

This is his new body he is now being in.

No new body he was transferred to after his death.

His face was gone replaced by a different one.

His identity has changed.

He had made an unfair deal that will make him serve for eternity.

In a new place with all of his inventions stripped.

He had hit a new all time low, but this time it was a low blow straight to his balls by the women who got his head out of the musing.

He never felt this pain in his life.

Sure, he died brutally and had his body part severed. But soon he had a restart but now he can't do that he is stuck with this body in a contact.

This pain was not of the body but his soul.

Just what did he do to himself, he looks pitiful with his identity stripped.

Scathach held Ricks hair and bought to her eye level.

Tears were streaming through Rick's/Enryu's eyes.

All of his misery and regret was bubbling out in this moment.

Finally, near death with a clear head he can now can guess the consequences of his actions.

He should have just died.

Even if he failed, he should have given up and accepted his death.

So why is he still here?

Why did he want to correct his path and try again to defeat prime?

Was it worth it?

What were his ideals?

Did he have Ideals anymore?

What did he have beside revenge.

A memory flashes again in his head of the white-haired man with pain going through Rick's head.

The hill of swords where he finally laid rest after the end of the journey and his contract with that being with eternal servitude because of the miracles bestowed on him.

Days after day he killed and killed with millennia upon millennia upon bloodshed.

Killing his heart and ideals.

Ricks/Enryu's eyes slowly went clouded with blue light as Shirou Emiya A.K.A as Archer's memories becoming implanted in his soul.

The Holy Grail wars and his summoning in the grail war to kill his past self.

Scathach was shocked as she knows the souls stitched together finally taking root and take hold.

Three souls were stitched with Rick's.

One of several Shirou Emiya as whole as a counter guardian and variations.

One which is his that was shredded to pieces by Rick prime and was summoned together what was left of it.

Other was another person whose memories suddenly sprung up.

One that was dominant and dormant as of now.

As rick was losing his desire to escape and die.

The soul that was affected by Rick's portion of soul had gotten it's own desire.

A dream that he promised his mother to achieve.

The soul of Yari Takahashi.

A journey to the stars and to explore the wonders it presents.

A dream Rick had long since forgotten.

Sudden clarity came to Rick/Enryu's mind as it focused with some light in his eyes.

The memories of adventure he had with Morty.

The adrenaline pumping adventures.

The Joy that made him forget the revenge he was chasing.

All that which would have been if his family wou-

"NO!"

That was his family in C-137 dimension.

The people who accepted him as he was.

A nihilistic guy with a god complex and a mocking view of the world with zero braincells.

Family is not something of blood but the memories and hardship they spent together.

That was the difference between him and Rick Prime.

One chose one over another.

One chooses family and other chooses Supremacy.

He tried to mimic Rick prime to be better than him.

His views about people and family beneath him like animals.

Rick/Enryu tried to copy him soo much that he forgot his true self.

The self who simply wanted to have a loving family and go to a trip to the stars.

A red glow became prominent in his eyes.

He won't be that Rick anymore who is fixated on revenge and progress.

He will be a new person entirely.

The memories of Yari Takahashi even if they were not his reminded Rick what he truly was.

He is someone who gazes and wishes to the stars.

Rick/Enryu pushed himself off from the crater orienting himself.

He coughed off blood that was stuck in his throat.

Scathach: Have you found yourself?

Rick/Enryu: Y-eah cough! Looks like getting close to death really shows who you really are.

Scathach: Good now that your head is clear dress up, I will shape you to a fine warrior instead of a madman who does not use his gifts to his full potential. Cath your breath Rick Sanchez because it is the only time you can.

Rick/Enryu: Wait ho-

Rick/Enryu: Damn it Hyperman told you about everything.

Scathach: Your secrets lay bare to me. Do not worry as it is nothing I haven't seen.

Rick/Enryu: I'll kick your ass after this and I am not in S AND M you domnitrix freak. Also, who the fuck are you?

Scathach: YOU WILL ADRESS ME AS MASTER. I AM THE QUEEN OF THE LAND OF SHADOWS SCATHACH!

Rick/Enryu: Wait! That Scathach from Irish Mytholgy?

Scathach: YES! NOW GET MOVING!

Rick quickly put on the training garbs made by Scathach. It was made out of the skin of phantasmal species. Garbs with vest and short pants.

After wiping the blood of his face Rick gave rapt attention to Scathach.

She had already walked off as he getting ready and Rick followed promptly.

He looked around and noticed he was in a giant castle of some sort.

He heard foot-steps and quickly followed to the direction of the sound.

As he was running behind the strange enigma of a women several thoughts went through his head.

Mostly what he knew about Irish Mythology.

Scathach.

One who trained the Irish Hercules.

It was a memory of his childhood when he was reading several books in the library for machinery in America.

Just what did he get himself into.

He surely did not think through when making the deal.

All his regret and misery clouded his judgment.

His soul is fucked when he thought about it.

He can find some similarities with that snide Archer called Shirou Emiya in his memories.

Both of them like blondes.

Both are cynical and nihilistic.

Both think Ideals are trash.

Maybe that's why Hyperman chose to give him such abilities.

One day he is gonna visit this Shirou guy and smack him on his head.

One question was in his mind.

Why is Shirou Emiya's soul stitched with his?

Rick quickly used omsience to check the cause of the memories he had of a different being.

Yari Takahashi the representation of Rick's Ideals and Desires.

Shirou Emiya the reality check of hard headed foolish behaviors.

With him being neutral in the mix with psychopathic tendencies.

He needs to keep the last one in check.

As he was having this thought with his ability activated, Rick soon reached outside with Scathach standing outside with her back turned towards him with that fine spear on her hand.

The spear isn't the only thing that was fine.

Rick slowed down behind her and took a look over the hill.

He soon realized what a morbid place he was in.

Black skies.

Dead trees with desolate mountains with stench of death with the cold wind.

This put shivers in his mind.

Scathach: The healing runes seems to fix you up. I don't have to tell you what you will be doing at the first start of the lesson Student Rick. You are old enough to understand the condition of your own body.

Rick/Enryu: ...…..

Rick/Enryu: Yes, I need to get my body in shape looking at the obvious masterpiece it is. Also I am not Rick Snachez anymore.

Scathach: Hmm? Have you abandoned your identity?

Rick/Enryu: No! I am simply a new person as I am already a fleeting memory. The name has lost its meaning.

Scathach: So what will you call yourself?

Rick/Enryu: Call Me Enryu Dharam. Enryu would be better.

Scathach: Hmm very well you shall be known as Enryu from now on.

She turned around and looked into Enryu's red eyes reminding her of her old pupil Setanta. Just like him Enryu will walk a path filled with thorns and glory. She can see this with her Clairvoyance.

Scathach: Now 300 laps through the whole castle and here this is the food when you get hungry.

Scathach threw a sack to Enryu who promptly caught it.

It had one bottle of water.

Also how did she get his stuff?

Enryu: Umm where is my stuff.

Scathach gave a smile to Rick that put him off.

Scathach: It's mine now.

Enryu: Fuck! My portal gun!

Scathach: NOW RUN!

Dodging a spear strike Rick promptly ran out with some time to arrange his thoughts as he did the laps with no complaints.

He needs to get his brain in order before he threw some curses at the lady.

With this the days of hell training had begun.
