Dark Alliance: Prelude

Hello, and welcome to my first-ever Fate/Stay Night fanfic. I've seen the series a few times but never get to watch it in a steady flow since I'm not "in" on the English-dub by ANIMAX. Well, eventually I got used to it so now I'm going to make a start on it.

Okay, I'm sure you guys will be surprised at what I'm going to do here. This is a Fate/Stay Night fic, but what the heck are the characters from Jigoku Shoujo doing here? What connections or business do they have here? Well, the answer lies on my "New Lease In Life", and yeah, it's a crossover. And it's an experiment that I'm willing to try. Shiro and Rin appeared in the aforementioned fic in a cameo role, and so does Yu Yu Hakusho. And after writing that fic, I'm still in limbo on where to put on the next fic: here or in Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl) category.

Moreover, I'll be putting a twist on bringing the villains back along with their servants (which also includes Kirei Kotomine) and have them team up with the new Hell Girl (Kikuri) and the Lord Of Hell. Yeah…a fitting term which would explains this fic's title. But of course I'm new in this and haven't watched the series for a few months, so I'd appreciate it if you guide me along via suggestions.

Also, since Shiro and Sakura Mato are a couple (from what I read at ),I thought I should give Rin a love interest, in the form of Takuma Kurebayashi, a support character from Jigoku Shoujo: Futakomori. He will be (in this story) 14 years old while Rin will be 17 (if that's her true age). Let me know if this pairing will be fine with you readers.

Now then…onto the story!

Hell. The world where only the souls of the evil and corrupt can be sent when their lives reached their end, may it be peaceful or violent. It also serves as a connection-bridge between here and the Makai world (from Yu Yu Hakusho). In this realm, the condemned souls are subjected to very intense and harsh punishments, and they have no choice but to accept their punishments.

These souls sent there by Kani-Sama (in this case, Koenma) are based on the "crimes" commited during their time on Earth, depending on the sins they committed. The lord of hell, who appeared to be a huge, sentient spider, takes pleasure in dishing out punishments as well as seeing his newly-arrived "victims", who were sent here via the Jigoku Taishen and the straw doll, as his new assistant, Kikuri, who is now the current Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl), arrived via her trusty ferry. The new batch of arrivals were then being escorted by his minions and sent them to the "chamber of punishments" to have them subjected to all forms of torture. The irony is that, when a victims is being sent to Hell via the the website and the straw doll, the victim, regardless whether he/she is innocent or not, the wicked and the pure-hearted, is automatically sent there.

However, there are times when the Lord of Hell couldn't maintain his hold over his victims, as some were elevated to Purgatory when the victims' relatives prayed and they were sent there as the said victims haven't entirely been purified of their sins. Nevertheless, Kikuri makes it a habit to scout potential clients and potential victims. Her master is nevertheless pleased with it and at rare occassions he took possession of Kikuri to go to the real world to see which victim he sees fit to absorb his/her soul.

Also he was pleased to remove his previous assistant, Enma ai from his servitude after seeing her as a potential threat as she somehow defied him as she refuse to sent his last victim, Takumi Kurebayashi, to him after Hotaru Meishi input his name at the website believing that his sending to Hell would put a stop to his suffering at the hands of his tormentor, but as she defied him, she was brought back as a mortal only to be killed again, but in the process Ai's relatives were elevated from Hell, possibly either in Purgatory or Heaven.

He himself doesn't know if Ai herself is in either those places but he doesn't care about it anymore. But, he finds himself interested in Takuma, as he somehow learned he has spiritual powers comparable to Ai. He has the power of foresight, which is either premonition or precognitive. In the years that followed after Ai's death, heordered Kikuri to, after scouting potential clients, to keep an eye on Takuma and what he is doing at this time. After getting the results, he decided to try to get his tormentors to put his name on the website, but the problem lies on his tormentors, the remaining townsfolk from Lovely Hills, as they fled after Ai died. Now his only chance in getting Takuma lies in the bullies from the school that Takuma is enrolled.

At this point, one of the souls sent here made a bold and risky move to make a bargain with the master of this realm. He knew the chances are slim but he nevertheless welcomed the challenge as he sees what the Lord of hell desires at this point and might use his know-how to his advantage. Seeing what the Lord of Hell is after, he decided to charm his way towards him to win his trust. After all, he knew he'll be bound here forever.

"Greetings, Lord of Hell...I see you fancy yourself at that teenage boy. I also learned about why he is being labeled as the Devil's Child" and why the original Hell Girl chose to aid him instead of you. I believe I can help you achieve that goal if you're willing to listen to my ideas and suggestions. I won't force you to take my words for it, but I just want to help you. Also, I happen to know some people who have powers that slightly rival yours.If we are able to send them here...you can absorb both their powers and their souls. And I can scout potential victims for you. If that's alright with you."

The Lord of Hell glances at the man who spoke before him. Two of Hell's minions are about to take the man away but the Lord Of Hell told his minions not to take him. He was slightly amazr\ed to see a soul willingly offered himself to serve him. The soul who was condemned here is Kirei Kotomine. since coming here after being killed at the climax of the Holy Grail War, the Lord of Hell learned a great deal about the sorcerers and servants, and what potential they have. He then decided to see what he can do should he grant the soul's request.

"You have the guts to approach and offer me something that's beyond your grasp...but at the same time I admire your courage. You...you are the one who committed a lot of sins since you betrayed your own comrades for the sake of power via the Grail. Perhaps I might consider your request if you prove to me why I should take your word for it."

"Believe me, great one...I can help you achieve your goal in capturing that boy i saw just now. The problem lies on what type of power he possess since his power is more on the foresight...and perhaps I can help you pin him down and have him brought to you via your assistant. All we need to do is for you to bring me back to life and along with my associates. From there we can formulate a way to get that boy's tormentor to trick them into putting his name on that website of yours. I'm sure it would favor you the most. Well, it's all up to you to decide. I'm just offering my services to you."

The Lord of Hell finds the offer very tempting, as Kotomine is offering him a chance to covet the boy, but he is also willing to offer him his said enemies to him without question. Though he finds it suspicious, he was impressed by his courage to stand up to him and give him an offer that he finds it hard to refuse. And so he decided to give Kotomine a chance to prove himself. He told him that he's willing to give his request, but at first he must know what he can do in order for him to carry out what he wants him to do.

"Let's say that I'll grant your wish…but how do I know you won't betray me like my original servant would? How would I know if you really want to offer your service to me? I want some assurance before I grant your request."

"If you want, you can have your new servant look after me if that's what you wish for. But she has to stay hidden so we can carry out our mission. Also, she can freely attack my opponents if it would help in bringing them and that boy to you. It's all up to you to decide. That's the answer I can give in regards to your question."

After listening to the reply, the Lord of Hell thought about it carefully and decided to grant him his request, but then a thought hit him and decided to give him a test to prove that he's willing to offer his service to him. That way he could be sure that Kotomine isn't bluffing.

"Very well, but first you must pass a test to ensure you aren't bluffing in your words. Tell me who your associates are and I can resurrect him/her as well to help you out. Who is your associates then?"

"Gilgamesh…Caster…Assasin."

"Very well…I'll resurrect them, but they and you must pass this only test. Fight and defeat three potential threats. Here are the ones I want you to defeat. Behold."

The Lord of Hell showed to Kotomine the targets he wanted them to defeat: Wanyūdō; Ren Ichimoku; and Hone Onna. When Kotomine agreed to it, he and the three associates were transported back to the real world, alive and revived. Moreover, they have regained their powers and despite the fact that the Holy Grail is no longer in existence, they were not concerned, as they also regained their ability to use their Noble Phantasms. There Kotomine told the three their new assignments, and though arrogantly proclaim that he's taking orders fro no one, Giglamesh went along with the revived villains.

To Be Continued...

Looks like an unholy alliance is formed, and that's just the atart, as Kotomine leads Caster, Assasin and Gilgamesh on their new mission that is not connected to the previous war.
