A Certain Magical Sunset - Act 2 - 22 - Mars - The Bloody Goddess

Mars - The Bloody Goddess

Mars, God of War and Justice, looked across the table to his companions.

“It has started,” Mars announced. “The new goddess of justice has come into her fullness. She has justifiably taken a life in defense of her charges, unlocking the fullness of her calling.”

“You make it sound so simple. My great-grand-daughter just killed someone. Someone who tried to kill her partner, and intended to kill her. I can’t even begin to describe how not okay I am with any of this! I don’t want my precious girl to be any part of the hell that’s coming,” stated Faust.

“She answered the Maker’s call. It is her destiny. We all serve the Maker according to Her Will. Of all of us, you should know that. You are the embodiment of Her Will,” replied Mars. “She will be the rise and fall of many, and bring salvation to many who otherwise would have been lost. The Maker be praised!”

“The Maker be praised,” Faust agreed. “Still, I would do anything to keep her and her friends from suffering any of this. It’s not right that innocents suffer to stop these evils.”

“It is only the innocent who can stop these evils. And their suffering is borne in the heart of our Maker. She will not abandon or forget us,” reminded Mars.

“I would take her suffering on myself in a heartbeat if She would allow it,” mourned Faust. “I would take all their suffering on myself if I could.”

“That is because you have the Maker's Heart. Truly The Makers Might is your grandchild,” agreed Mars. “She would gladly suffer this and more to save her friends and others from their sufferings.”

“She is the Makers child,” agreed Faust, sadly.

“Indeed,” Mars agreed, gently placing his hand on her shoulder.

Still shaking, Sunset pulled out her cell phone and dialed Kaori.

“I’m so sorry Kaori! I have an emergency. One of the assistant researchers Twilight worked with just tried to kill her…

“No, Twilight is fine. I stopped her before she could hurt her…

“No, she isn’t here…

“No, she’s dead. There’s no body to recover. I sent her away…

“Away, yes. I teleported her somewhere very lethal…

“Please help us! I don’t know who else wants us dead. She dropped a magic knife covered in glowing runes…

“Yeah, it’s still here…

“Okay, we’re staying put. Let us know when you’re here and we’ll let you in. Thanks, Kaori. We’re in your debt.”

She turned to Twilight. “Kaori is heading over. She’ll help us sort this out.”

Holding each other, the girls sat and waited for their friend from Necessarius.

End of Book 1 - A Certain Magical Sunset

Author's Note:

Look for the continuation of the story in Book 2 - A Certain Scientific Twilight. Coming soon!

A poem I wrote some time ago for a friend, sharing here with you...

so then, you are a friend of the fair weather?
i count you that then, and better that then never
a friend to count. and friends like that can be
with time and love, a friend indeed you see.
so now we walk, by circumstance, along the same worn road
and time may come, indeed, when chance may change our load
and destinations. but then, perhaps, if deeper friendship bloom
who be i to say, i know not fortunes loom.
so walk with me, my friend. and count our fortunes blessed
that we may take these times, and in each other rest.

Peace my friends! Will see you all again in the next installment of this trilogy.

Thanks mate! I'm glad you liked it. I'm about 1/3 into the writing on the next one, while kicking out biweekly chapters on Tales of an Equestrian Battle Mage just to stay sane. Just a heads up, part of the reason I have to completely write these crossovers before I start releasing them is I have to write the chapters and events out of order then put them together correctly on release, due to the complexity of the A Certain Scientific Railgun / A Certain Magical Index world and timeline. Getting everything right when I write ends up too often being an iterative process, but I love the franchise too much to not put in the effort to at least try to get it right.

I don't like Accelerator or Touma and I don't care about that third main character who's name I can never remember. PLEASE tell me those three won't appear in this story.

I can relate to Accelerator. He is a certifiable homicidal prick. But as it is a crossover, he and Touma and Railgun do all appear in the story even though they are not the main characters. Sorry.

[hugabug]

Absolutely loving this crossover! I really like the way you have interwoven the two worlds and I am looking forward to the next arc! Thank you very much foe writing this story

True enough. I guess we'll just have to root for Touma to help her.

accelerator without a doubt hell all 3 of our mc from the 3 story arcs are great in their own way even the homicidal prick as you put it especially when it is that's pretty much what he's about in the light novel.
being raised by a real one and overcoming that and being able to save someone hell the sisters forgave him kinda the will as a whole is still mad at him but understands enough to not hold it over him as long as he doesn't fall back into the darkness for real nice read she ends up treating him
when she gets a bit mad at him so there some anger
