And there was much confusion to be had

Much is going on in this place. All of it Rei takes in with a quick glance around before turning back to both the Brigadier and the Magus Killer, being that it is somewhat of a hostile situation between the two and . . .hard feelings and such could happen here. Heh, one must have priorities!

Aslan has some kind of unknown Black Knight of unknown allegiance which had appeared out of thin air as soon as everyone else had teleported in now rather firmly under control (under paw). Rider can sense from her position that the knight is going nowhere without Aslan’s leave, to say the least!

The Ilya sisters that had been clustered around her now mollified protectors have collapsed into a heap and are AGAIN giggling in their sleep, having seen AGAIN been struck unconscious by the Doppleganer effect. Ilya’s mother was attempting to awaken them without success and was understandably alarmed! But the Lion in the room was keeping her from storming over to Rei to demand answers…

On the other side of the room a lone Berzerker is trying to quietly arouse his sleeping Master but having no luck whatsoever and is more than a bit concerned about the Lion in his midst. He’d witnessed this before earlier in the Forest around his Master’s castle with the little . . .version of his Master. But as odd as that was and with all the questions still unanswered, he knew ONE thing to his very core. This was ONE lion that he was NOT going to even Dream about being able to kill, Heroic Spirit or not! But just as long as it stayed sitting on that odd knight, hopefully things might. . .work out?

That he was praying for, anyway!

The Saber sister who’d arrived out of thin air with the Caster Sisters? Whelp, she’d kind of figured out that probably the same thing that accounted for multiples of Caster (changed or not) was happening here with her as well. However, what with her Master (Shirou) having collapsed and started giggling while dreaming some kind of dreams from the look of things THAT rather has occupied her thoughts at the moment so no interaction between her and the other sisters was going to be had there for the moment and being that the Caster Sisters were also concerned as to why their Shirou just up and collapsed on them means that they weren’t going to go over and chat with their newest sister in the near future.

As for Princess Medea of Rei’s group? While she knows what is going on here with the downed people (as unexpected as their arrival had been here), she felt that her talents for at least attending to the down Shirou Emiya of her group was called for here. It might be useful in helping the somewhat upset Saber sisters here (Saber Zero had apparently gotten something positive from her sisters telling about him).

As for others, well… the ones from the Nasuverse have noticed (or rather have been hit RIGHT in THE JAW) with the aura that Aslan is actually giving off and do NOT want to mess with him. They’re aware that push comes to shove if hostilities break out? They don’t stand a chance.

All of them except for one, that is… She’s rather put off by her situation still.

"But be that as it may and I’m damn happy to see you again Brigadier . . . mind if I ask you to stop with the Mexican standoff here with Kiritsugu Emiya there, please?" the leader of this cast of misfits requests in an almost infuriately calm manner as she sits at her table. "You DO know what Aslan ‘doings’ did here right?"

"Ah . . . quiet right," the older man I take as the Brigadier mutters, lowering his weapon and then paying the Magus Killer not even the slightest attention before glancing over at

"And Mr. Emiya, would you mind putting down that machine gun as well would you kindly?" Lilith adds to the side, walking over slowly as if nothing at all was amiss and she was just chatting about the weather.

The Hades is wrong with these people?!

As for the leader though… The last is delivered with a rather pointed tone towards the older man with . . . a weapon that the Grail tells me is something quiet different from the normal drek that is known as "fire arms". This is sleeker and more . . .stylized.

. . .

And while I am wondering about the lunacy about me, I have to wonder about the idiocy I’m doing now.

I can SEE everyone in this room!

Oh Gods and Goddesses! Nevermind whoever this Aslan is—maybe that male who spoke to the Black Knight that is now under paw by that lion. I don’t know but I know what I’m seeing here!

. . . and just why in Hades there is a LION of all things here in this room! It’s obviously some kind of allied, POWERFUL familiar and thus under some form of control by what Rei’s saying right now BUT still!!...

I would be more annoyed with her right now if it was not for the fact that the very mask that I wear that prevents my eyes from adversely effecting others seems to have suffered from a mishap: the strap has snapped and it has fallen to the floor. I’m unmasked!!

"Master! Don’t look at me!!" I shout, attempting to cover my face and prevent a disaster in the making. While I might have not initially LIKED Lilith’s taking temporary possession of the Book of False Attendance it has come to light to me in the process that she IS a MUCH superior Master than that worm Shinji!

"There will be NO bloodshed here from weapons or deadly magicks Lady Medusa," a rumbling, noble male voice interrupts my train of thought. A voice that roars like a lion in authority and power. "That goes for you OTHER Servants and Magi as well! Understood?"

A flurry of hasty agreements from around the room greet my ears (as well as lowered weapons if that noise from Shiro’s father’s direction is a what I believe it to be) and when I hesitantly uncover my face to look about (after sensing belatedly that my Eyes are indeed not giving off their petrifying effects due to SOME kind of unknown interference) and . . .

And . . .and. . .

This lion . . .Lion is NOT a familiar at all but a GOD?! No . . ., he . . .it’s beyond any God or Goddess of Olympus I have EVER experienced and . . .Even combined every last Servant here wouldn’t stand a CHANCE against this Aslan!!

"Wha-what in the Hades is doing on?" I hear myself whispering, knowing without doubt that THIS entity is responsible for our unexpected arrive here (wherever THIS place happens to be).

"Mommy?" a young girl who’d been hugging some woman in cargo pants and t-shirt speaks up from across the room speaks up, only adding to the confusion. "Who are these people and why do they look like cartoons?"

Wut?

"I’d like to know the answers to those two questions myself," the older man that Rei called the Brigadier adds, sounds MOST put off about all this chaos we seemed to have caused with our very presence.

1. "Uh, gives us a minute here and we'll explain everything!" John Quaurmain blurts out.
