"Pitiful creature of darkness what kind of life have your known,god give me strength to show you you are not alone" Nero preformed on stage as Christine from the of phantom of the opera
"Another great performance Nero." the director said
"Naturally. " she replied with a smiled making the director laugh. Jericho, Nero understudy scuffed at her.
"Is something wrong Jericho?" the phantom asked.
"Nothing, nothing at all."
The following day as Nero did her vocal warm ups in private her heard someone behind her. "Oh hello Jericho."
"Are the rumors true,your a mage? "
"Of course, I never tell a lie. I could teach you sometime if like.
"No thanks. "
"Pity could you hand me my water. "
"Sure" Jericho picked up Nero water bottle and handed and give to Nero "so how did you become a mage?" Nero unscrewed the cap and took a couple of sips.
"From my father,he-" at that moment she started to feel light headed.
"Are you okay?" Jericho asked
"I don't know" Nero tried to hold herself up as she felt herself getting weaker. Her legs finally give out and she fell to the ground, her water bottle rounded across the floor. "Jericho, what did you do." Jericho walked without saying word but it was pretty obvious what happened she's been poisoned. Jericho called out for help and everyone helped get Nero in bed but couldn't figure out why she got sick. The director told everyone that its too late to cancel the show so Jericho had to step in for her. Nero felt herself getting weaker and weaker she couldn't even get the strength to speak, her main concern was that she couldn't control her Mana for the chandelier trick. During her first song in the play Nero materializes a chandelier above the stage and after the song All I ask of you. She allows the chandelier to fall Center Stage. For the specific show they had extremely large crowd so the chandelier was materialized early before the show started so the audience can I have something to look at while they prepare as well as make the theater stand out more. even though she could feel herself slipping away due to the poison she kept moving trying to force her way backstage when she finally got there and the SEC crew noticed her they tried to help her on her feet to get her back to bed but she shove them aside. Jericho was in the middle of singing think of me fondly. Just at that moment the audience began to scream as they notice the chandelier was falling Nero didn't even notice that she lost all control of her magic, she must sit up the last of her strength to run to the stage and push Jericho out of the way.
"Why, why did you save me?" Jericho asked.
"The Show Must Go On" she closed her eyes for the last time.
"Nero Emiya" a voice called out to her but but she couldn't see anything until suddenly a blue aura appeared in the distance as a shadowy figure walks towards her. "You died saving someone who tried to kill you. Why, because that's how your father raised you?"
"I just wanted to be sure no one died"
"You are indeed like your father." he laughed.
"Who are you,how do you know my father ? "
"My name is Angra Mainyu, years ago I was referred to as the holy grail. Your father wanted to be a hero of justice, the fool went around thinking he could save everyone; eventually he could have really save anyone but for some reason that didn't break your spirit and by the time he won the Grail War I was curious on what you would want. And I guess in a way he saved me from myself we talked for a long time I realized what I've been missing so I put an end to the Grail Wars all together." Angra walked closer to her " you interest me, you took what your father taught you and have been trying to save the world on your own awhile trying out acting in your free time." He noticed the confused look on her face.
" you say you got this Holy Grail got my mother and father were involved with?"
" your parents never told you about it?" she shook her head no. " I see hold on I guess understanding the past at this point is irrelevant, the fact of the matter is I have a huge amount of respect for your father so before you die and willing to Grant you one wish, anything you'd like just name it." Nero thought in silence for a few seconds.
" I'm sorry but I can't think of anything I really lived a good life so I don't really have any regrets." Angra could tell that she was lying
" Really, you can't think of anything at all?" she didn't respond. " it's okay to admit it, you are human after all."
"Okay fine" tears started to fall down Nero's face " I want to see them again, just one more time, if I could just have a moment with my father or just have my mother hold me in her arms one more time that's all I want and miss them!" Angra got down on one knee.
" I can make it happen."
" really?"
"Yes I'll have to send you back into a different timeline one that will be the most happiest versions of your parents together, but there is one condition it's just a simple task you'll have to fill out while you're there."
Present day
Nero told her the whole story to the blue saber. " what did he want to do"
" I was given the task of destroying the Holy Grail along with the other servants who tried to go after it." Nero's usual happy personally was gone, she seems like a different person. " I've been given three Noble phantasms to insure my victory."
" wait you must know what happened last time we tried to destroy the Holy Grail.
" yes I am aware, it started that fire that killed fathers family years ago unfortunately I am in a position where I can't betray Angra. If there are people who might get hurt because of my actions they'll have to be sacrificed." blue saber said was silence "you seem relieved."
"When I started that fire years ago, I often thought to myself if there was anything I could have done to stop it, maybe I could have tried to reach out to kiritsugu more before hand, we could have found another way. All that I can do know is make sure that never happens again, and I can't let you do this."
"And I can't let you stop me mother."
"Then you leave me no choice." The two saber class servants I drew their swords the same thought that going through their mind :I will save the world
