Nasuverse Unlimited Gabriel Blessing Works

[daniel_gudman]

Since Gabriel Blessing's most recent work, "<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6556187/1/In_Flight' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>In Flight</a>", has been dominating the update thread in both the Fate section and the general section, much like what happened with his previous story The Hill of Swords, I have presumed to create a new thread EXCLUSIVELY for talking about Gabriel Blessing's FSN fanfiction.

Please post update announcements here, as well as discussion of the events of the story, your opinions and feelings, and (of course!) debate how what happens corresponds to the accepted canon of the Nasuverse's mechanics. Additionally, please refrain from posting more than an update announcement in the other threads now that this one exists.

I would like to thank all you cats for cooperating with my herding.

Without further adeau.

Wish I had thought of this back during HoS.

 

[Lanceavalon]

But then we wouldn't have ANY FSN updates...

 

[ringlhach]

Any guesses what he actually did that pissed the Assosciation off, after Chapter Nine?

 

[Aarik]

He was born with a Reality Marble and they're envious dicks.

 

[Cherry_lover]

He was born with a Reality Marble and they're envious dicks.

Yeah, this.

Or, rather, he used a Reality Marble (since everyone is theoretically capable of having one, I believe). The Association expressly forbids their usage, essentially because the top dogs of the Association can't manifest one and they don't like people being better than them. Anyone caught using one would almost certainly be designated for sealing.

Having said that, given Gabriel's previous track record on characterisation, the in-story reason is probably something like him deciding to randomly punch Lorelei in the face for saying nasty things about Rin, so....

 

[Gatorade]

He has a reality marble, they do not. They are jealous bastards and are now deciding if they can not have it, no one else can. NINJA'D h43r:

Alternatively, Shirou really did just beat the shit out of a snot nosed rich little magus and said magus ran to Daddy or Mommy.

Finally, Rin and Saber simply wanted to much sex from him, so he decided to take a vacation for a while. Too bad said vacation landed him in the Sekirei Plan.

Discussion in the other thread(s) are basically gonna drop back down to zero. oh well ._.

 

[Serval]

I don't know if this was discussed already (the search doesn't work too well) but I have a question. I don't know much about magi so this might seem dumb to ask.
Let's say Minaka makes the announcement with the new Age of Gods. And the Mage's Association sends operatives as a response (don't know what the protocol would be). How exactly are operatives going to hide their mage craft in a city full of cameras and under satellite surveillance? Is there some magic that can block cameras and/or satellites?

 

[wingthesword]

Didn't this Shirou have visions of all of Archer's 30 some years of life? That means he has all of Archer's NP's now.

 

[rdde]

For those of you already hoping to start a Noble Phantom count for IF, you'll probably be disappointed. This is a Shirou firmly in love with Kanshou and Bakuya. He might pull out a few extra swords or blades, but for the most part his combat abilities are going to be more reliant on his magic, and most importantly, several unexplored aspects of his Reality Marble: Unlimited Blade Works.

Bounded Fields, and other mental affecting magic would probably for the scouting of Shin-Tokyo, and that's just the basic stuff and not the crap that Atlas can pull out. Though it's debatable how much of a damn that the Mage Association, Church or any other of the groups in the shadows would care about being discreet in such a situation given that just might cause them to pull out their versions of <a href='http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Quotes/GodzillaThreshold' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Code Ragnarok</a> protocols...

 

[daniel_gudman]

Well, rather than Mage Association or whatever trying to stop it, a bigger concern might be Dead Apostles or such trying to hijack it.

 

[Serval]

MBI has a Satellite Based Laser (quoted from the manga). Wonder if something like that can hurt a Dead Apostle. Though if it can't see it, it can't shoot it.

 

[sworded]

Here's an idea that I posted in the Fate updades, but what if Minaka is already in contact with or at least aware of true nature and history of the world? Hell he might even be a magus himself! Then too is the posibility that he's being guided from behind the scenes by some supernatural inflluence. The point is we don't know just how much of the Serikie cast and setting is still strictly holding to their canon selves. Just because in the last story, HoS, Blessing decided to keep the changes almost solely as a result of Shirou being there dosen't mean that this crossover won't have a greater mixing of the two orginal settings.

Mental affecting magic would work on digital recordings? Guess magic beats technology every time.
Wouldn't a Magic organization attack upon a populated city be kind of a declaration of war?

More like a response to MBI's declaration of war with their stated intent to bring back the age of gods.

 

[Serval]

what if Minaka is already in contact with or at least aware of true nature and history of the world? Hell he might even be a magus himself!

If he was aware why did he mention a new Age of Gods to Shirou? Hmm. Maybe he wanted to see his reaction.

Shirou always has to come up against a GIANT TROLL.

I didn't say that any new knowledge or abilities would make Minaka sane. He could still be fully intending to bring about a new Age of Gods just that he's not ignorant of what that means in terms of F/S N setting. If my idea is true then, ideally when/if he makes his annocement a massive boundry field would snap into place protecting Shin Tokyo from outside interference.

 

[Serval]

That would be cool. It would make Minaka a more credible threat.

 

[Amodelsino]

A massive bounded field wouldn't really help him. There are magus' that specialize in getting past those, and some of the higher ups are such monsters that if he actually did make himself look like a credible threat (to the Association itself), and did manage to avoid regular enforcers, they could just annihilate him themselves.

With all of the powerful Sekirei (read: Miya and the rest of the former Disciplinary Squad) out in the city thanks to his game, he'd be absolutely fucked against serious assassination attempts.

Of course, the Association might just write him off as a crackpot (if he is a magus, they'd know him and whether he's actually dangerous or just an eccentric), or even just try and figure out what his plan involves rather than trying to stop it, since bringing back the Age of the Gods can actually be a good thing for them, depending on what he actually means by it.

 

[AbyssalDaemon]

Well, rather than Mage Association or whatever trying to stop it, a bigger concern might be Dead Apostles or such trying to hijack it.

Possible though I would think that even most of the Dead Apostle Ancestors much less your 'usual' - if their is such a thing - Dead Apostle wouldn't be that happy about the idea of the 'Age of the Gods' returning then anyone else, given how it was basically the epic age of Nasuverse. Not only are looking at the return of a good number of phantasm races a number of which are just as capable of being threats to the DAA but the majority of humanity is screwed in said situation what with the return of a number of monsters who simply can't be beat for the most part by modern technology (except for nukes, and even that's questionable on some of them) or modern humanity except by a good bit of luck.

And good luck attempting to feed on any bastion of humanity that manages to survive because you will need it.

There's also the fact that the majority of DAA most likely to notice or hear about Minaka's announcement are also the least likely to really want to see the modern era collapse or the Age of the Gods rise once more.

MBI has a Satellite Based Laser (quoted from the manga). Wonder if something like that can hurt a Dead Apostle. Though if it can't see it, it can't shoot it.

More then likely it could hurt the majority of them. The main question is which DAA it is that MBI is facing as at least several of the DAA could probably tank a shot or two, and they only have a single chance to pull the death from above tactic.

Bounded Fields, and other mental affecting magic would probably for the scouting of Shin-Tokyo, and that's just the basic stuff and not the crap that Atlas can pull out. Though it's debatable how much of a damn that the Mage Association, Church or any other of the groups in the shadows would care about being discreet in such a situation given that just might cause them to pull out their versions of <a href='http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Quotes/GodzillaThreshold' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Code Ragnarok</a> protocols...

More that it isn't at all noticeable unless you happen to be a magi yourself for the methods that a group like say Cloaktower would use. The type of stuff that Atlas utilized by Atlas would probably fall closer to a mix magitech and super advanced technology given their interests.

 

[Serval]

So, if he avoids mentioning the new Age of Gods, he won't be in the visor of the magical community? Except that's probably not going to happen.
