"That sounds reasonable," muttered Sona as both Rias and Xenovia nodded in agreement, again surprising the descendant as he looked at all of them.
"Wait, where's Issei?! He was supposed to be fighting Kokabiel!" cried Irina, making everyone freeze and Arthur frowned as he heard Mordred begin cursing softly.
"Don't worry he's fine, I passed him on the way here. He's unconscious from exhaustion but I suppose that's to be expected from a human killing a leader of the Grigori," replied the Knight of Treachery, and everyone could hear a pin drop as they tried to comprehend what she just said.
"Issei…managed to kill Kokabiel?" repeated Rias in shock, remembering the power of the Fallen Angel and causing Mordred to nod before she grabbed Arthur and began walking him down the streets.
"Don't forget Caliburn," reminded Irina stopping them both as she tried to pull the sword out of the earth, only to no avail as the sword refused to budge.
Mordred seemed to freeze as she stared at the sword before everyone heard a deep breath echo from within her helm as the knight approached Caliburn. The knight took another deep breath before she grasped the sword and pulled, only to stumble at the lack of resistance as the blade easily slide out of the earth. The Knight of Treachery said nothing as she just stared at Caliburn as if in shock before shaking her head and sheathing the blade.
"Alright Poser, come with me," she ordered and everyone watched as the two of them began walking away.
"One moment please," replied Arthur as he walked over to his little sister. "Goodbye Le Fay, I'm sorry," he whispered, softly and placed his hands over her bloodied chest.
There was silence as Arthur and Mordred disappeared behind some of the numerous rumble and debris scattered across the battlefield. "How are we going to cover this up?" sighed Sona as she took in the carnage.
"We'll think of something, first let's get my new Bishop to the clubroom, and can someone check on Koneko, she still hasn't woken up," frowned Rias.
Suddenly Irina ran towards them, "we need to find Issei! He could be injured!"
Everyone blinked as they'd realized the exorcist had a point, and if Scáthach found out he'd been injured helping them…
They all shuddered in fear before spreading out to find him, "Asia take Le Fay to the club room and heal her, we'll be there after we've found Issei."
Asia nodded at Rias' orders and the former nun was quickly abandoned as the search for the missing teen began. No one noticing the strains of corrupt and decaying black appearing in the usual white hair of the former Nekoshou.
"So you work for the Pendragon family huh? Odd, I don't remember seeing you there," pointed out Arthur with a small smirk, once they were out of hearing range of the Devils.
"A little white lie never hurt anyone," replied Mordred in amusement as she let go of him and Arthur shook his head in disbelief as he turned to face her.
The descendant then frowned, "it will when the Devils and the Church ask the Pendragon family about us. A descendant of the Knight of Treachery capturing the descendant of the King of Knights, destroying a reformed Excalibur and its fragments, and all supposedly happening under their orders."
"I'm sad I won't be able to see their faces," laughed Mordred.
"Just take care Mordred, the Pendragon family is anything but noble in this day and age. They won't take this lying down and that's not including how the Devils and Church will react," warned Arthur, as the pair approached the Kuoh park.
"Humph, I'd like to see them try anything. After all it's not just me they'll be fighting, my new family will never lose to anyone," announced the Knight in pride.
There was silence between the two Pendragons as Arthur glanced up at the sky, "Mordred…you're not a descendant, are you?"
The Knight of Treachery froze before she silently turned to face him, "now what gave you that idea?"
Arthur gained a dark expression as he replied, "when I wielded Ex- that blade, I saw things. Memories. Not only that but there was no way the blade would react like that to a mere descendant. Most of all though, you never introduced yourself as a descendant and you called my ancestor your father. Who are you? Really?"
"I am Mordred Pendragon, Knight of Treachery and rightful heir to the throne of Britain, make of that what you will," replied Mordred.
