Guardian of Light(Fate/Zero Fanfic)

Ch. 17: The Grail

'This feeling...why do I feel like somethings wrong?'

Jean opened her blue eyes, not seeing anything but a black space. 'Where am I?' She questioned herself, she looked around the black space only to see more. Even though she was in an abyss, she wasn't floating. Her feet was touching ground but it was black underneath her.

"Well, this isn't good."

Jean turned around at the sinister sounding voice, her eyes widening slightly at who stood in front of her. The woman had long dark red hair, her skin was pale and her eyes were a light blue almost white. She wore a black crop top jacket, it's sleeves were rolled up and on her hands were black fingerless gloves. A white shirt was underneath her jacket and black pants and black calf-high boots completed the look. The most shocking part was that she held a sinister look on her face, the same face that Jean had.

"Why do-why do you look like me..." she mumbled not really sure what to make of the person in front of her.

The girls smirk grew at the sound of her voice, it held slight fear in it. "That's because I am you. Only the you that has been corrupted by the Grail," she responded, a slightly more mature sound in her voice than that of Jean's normal one. "However," the girls smirk dropped as a cold look entered into her pale orbs. "You should not be awake."

Jean took a step back at the cold look before sending her one of her own. "What happened to make you be here?"

"Your Servant left you to be consumed by the Grail," she responded as a black sword appeared in her hands. The blade was black with a single light blue line running down it. The hilt was black as well with a light blue gem in the center of the pommel. She held the blade up and ran a hand down the side, "Too bad he can't reach you in here though."

Jean took another step back as the woman slowly started to walk closer to the girl. The young Tohsaka held her hand up at the oncoming alter, her Tohsaka crest appearing on her arm. "Stay back!" She warned, she took a single Gandr shot towards the female as a warning. The Alter Jean shook her head with a slight laugh before cutting the Gandr in two.

"Sorry, only way to accomplish what the Grail wants to do is to kill you," she stated as she charged towards the original version of herself. Jean let out a small yell of surprise before she jumped to the side. She fell to the ground with her hands out to catch herself, she faced the alter again now carrying a blade as she slowly stood back up. Jean's hands clutched the hilt of her sword as sweat ran down the side of her face.

"I have the power of the Grail on my side. What do you have exactly?" The alter questioned, her smirk appearing on her face again.

"I have Allura," Jean smirked back as she felt mana erupt within her. A blue figure stood next to her as she focused.

"You bet you have me," the older woman responded, her short red hair swaying as she talked.

Jean turned to Allura with slightly wide eyes, "I thought that—"

"This is your conscious in a way Jean, which means that this is both our domains," Allura said, already knowing what the young girl was going to ask. "Now, let's handle this altered version of yourself." A blue diamond sword appeared in her hand as she spoke. The altered version frowned deeply before she charged towards the older woman.

"Guess I'll go for you first then!" She nearly shouted as she started attacking relentlessly at the woman. Allura blocked each one easily, making the other girl even more upset. The glare that she was receiving would have put her in the ground, but she rivalled that glare with one of her own. Jean stood to the side, wanting to join the fight however it seemed that the older woman was handling the younger alter easily.
