It all seemed like a bad dream. Like when Ritsuka awoke again, they would still be in St. Petersburg, preparing to march to India. Well, when he did wake up, he was in St. Petersburg, but it was certainly more quiet than last time.
What happened, happened after all. They formed their alliance, headed to India, and defeated Oda Nobunaga, one of the japanese commanders. But then the worst-case scenario happened. France betrayed them. I suppose they shouldn't have put so much faith into one empire to carry them through the war. But it was the only way, it's not as if Russia had as much influence, and an alliance with Rome or Japan never would have worked.
Robert was gone. Elizabeth was gone. Peter was gone. Ivan was gone. Parvati was gone. Rama was gone. Scathach was gone. Cu was gone. Drake was gone. Other than Ritsuka's own party, the only allies they now had were Catherine and Victoria.
"Master. Are you awake?" Anastasia's soft voice woke him up, feeling her delicate touch on his leg.
"Mm...yeah...I've just been thinking."
"Are you alright? Do you want to talk about it?"
"Thanks, but...not yet. I'm not sure exactly what I want to say yet...give me a little time."
"...Okay. We have a little bit of time before the war meeting. I just wanted to make sure you would be ready in time."
"...Yeah. I'm getting up now." Heading into his bathroom, he washed his face and began to get dressed.
"Let's go." She looked over at him when he came out, clearly seeing a darker look in his eyes than usual.
"Ritsuka." He stopped when he felt her arms around him, holding him tightly, remaining silent.
"I can't speak for the others, but I will always be here for you. Please don't spiral down into depression and anger." She laid her head against his back.
"...I promise I won't. Your hands are cold, Ana." She shuddered a little bit when he lifted her hands off of her and continued walking out, heading to the chapel.
Anastasia sighed softly, following him.
Arriving in the chapel, the others were posted up in various places in the room, all still gloomy.
"Good morning everyone." Victoria and Catherine walked into the room, looking at all of them.
"Good morning." They all replied.
"I know that the past week hasn't been easy, but we're going to turn that around starting now." Catherine stepped forward.
"Turn it around how?" Ritsuka asked with a bit of venom in his voice, attracting attention.
"Stop blaming yourself, Master." Hayashi spoke up, sparking an angry look from said Master.
"What are you talking about?" He started walking towards him, prompting Hayashi to lock eyes with him.
"That's clearly what's going through your head. I can tell. You're thinking that you should have seen through France's motives and prevented them from killing the others."
"We led them on! We helped them advance their own agenda!"
"Yeah, and we also prevented them from making an alliance with Rome, which would have wiped us out a lot sooner."
"Were you not fazed by it all, Hayashi? Seeing them wipe out all of our allies at once? How are we supposed to compete with that?"
There were a few moments of silence until Hayashi, in a burst of speed, appeared in front of Ritsuka and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying back across the room and hitting the floor hard.
"HAYASHI!" Jeanne screamed as the others gasped, especially Anastasia.
"Argghhhh…!" Ritsuka groaned, clutching his chest in pain.
Hayashi paced back and forth in front of him.
"You deserved that. I've only been around for a few weeks now, and I believe you still don't know how I became a Servant, do you Master?"
Ritsuka sat up, glaring at him.
"You see, I was a prodigy mage. I kept elevating in rank until I was one of the strongest in the Association, a Brand Red. Everyone praised me. And then I was put on a team to carry out a special assignment. To help me with this task, I summoned a Servant, a special one at that. And he assisted me, as I wanted. But seeing how I had a special affinity for both light and darkness, he took control of my body. I killed my teammates, my girlfriend, their families, my parents, my sister. I rampaged throughout London, and with some help from my bosses, when we finally separated and I sent him back to the Throne of Heroes, some of his powers stayed with me." He demonstrated by channeling lightning in his palm.
"Suddenly, everyone who once praised me distrusted me, and told me I had no business still being employed by them, and to some extent, even being alive. I was sealed. Three years went by, and the Servant summoned themselves again through their own influence on the Holy Grail, with an army of other Servants backing him. I summoned a team of my own Servants, and we hunted down the others for a few months. We were overwhelmed countless times, but we never gave up hope. Then, the last five Servants did something extraordinary. They became Grand Servants through an artificial ritual one of them came up with. I was possessed again, but my Servants did the same and fought back again, and I gave up my life to prevent this Servant from coming back once more."
Ritsuka sat up, looking at him, with severely less hatred in his eyes.
"They all had a specific goal in mind, you see: to merge the worlds of the mage and the ordinary person, in order to make unprecedented advances in society. My Servants and I disagreed, we thought that the non-magical world would have a meltdown with their lives turned upside down. Nearly succeeded, too. But I still won. And, here I am."
Ritsuka stood up, looking him in the eye.
"I told you when I was summoned that if you weren't a Master worth fighting for, then I wouldn't fight. And this situation that we're in isn't your fault, nor is it ours. As our Master, you're the one who's supposed to find the solution, we just follow your orders. So if you're just going to sit around complaining about what you should have done, and feeling sorry for yourself, then I will no longer follow you. I'll sever my contract with you and be done with it."
"...No. I won't run. I am your Master. I'm the one who summoned you, and I'll make this right." He replied confidently.
"Good." He walked away at last, back to where the others were.
"Now then, you said you were planning on turning this situation around?" Hayashi asked the two monarchs.
"Yes. First of all, we've figured out the point of origin for this singularity." Catherine said, the others, save Hayashi, all opening their eyes wide, looking over at her.
"It's me. I figured it out last night." Hayashi spoke again.
"What I just spoke about, that artificial ritual to become a Grand Servant? Well the way it worked was by gathering the magical power of other Servants into a runic circle, and then having the candidate absorb enough of that energy to forcibly evolve into a Grand Servant. They were given a trial to pass, to fight the most influential hero in their homeland's history, another Servant. I imagine that some of you were in fact the trial keepers, no?"
"Yes. I am the keeper for Russian Servants. And I know that Louis is France's, and Robert is Scotland's." Catherine answered.
"For the record, England's is Alfred the Great, but he wasn't summoned." Victoria clarified.
"Do you know who Japan's keeper is?" Ritsuka asked Raikou.
"No, I'm afraid not."
"She wouldn't be present in those trials. Only former rulers are allowed to witness it, not nobility." Hayashi answered. "Though, if I had to guess...I'd say Jimmu or...Meiji are the most likely choices."
"Meiji…?" Raikou asked. "He was after my time, yes? I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with my country's history after my death…"
"Emperor Meiji was the only emperor given the moniker "the Great". At the time that his father was ruling, the country was pretty divided by politics. Japan had been an isolated country for the better part of 250 years, and while it had worked out well in the beginning, at this time, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia had forced the country open so that they could trade and attempt to involve them into modern foreign policy. Meiji's father, Komei, supported Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the last shogun, who was backed by old samurai and old nobility in wanting to keep the country closed and force the others out. Meiji was supported by a few clans and the newer samurai and soldiers to overthrow the shogunate and his father, be crowned the new emperor, and revolutionize the country to be more modern and take part in the world again. Meiji of course was successful, and by the time of his death, his reign had transformed Japan from a feudal system to a modern industrial powerhouse, largely influenced by western culture."
"I would think someone like that would be more of a political advisor than anything."
"No, actually. As I understand, he was trained in swordsmanship to the level that he could have been an elite samurai, and he was considered the last true divine emperor, since he was the last of his family line to use magecraft. I wouldn't be surprised if the grail had given him some kind of special power, assuming that he is the Emperor of Japan here." Hayashi mused.
"Yes, such an opponent would be suitable to lead Japan…in any case, I wanted to reveal a few things to you about how we're going to fight." Catherine brought everything back again.
"Yes?" Ritsuka asked.
"Let's start with this." Catherine and Victoria stepped to the side, and Scathach walked in.
"Scathach?! I thought you were dead!" Ritsuka ran up and hugged her, the Celtic Lancer happily returning the embrace.
"They assumed that. Napoleon Bonaparte had invaded the city with elite forces, and defeated both Drake and Cu. When I fought him, I overwhelmed him pretty easily, but he managed to get me good with his Noble Phantasm. I used Gate of Skye to defeat him and to recover in the Land of Shadows. I came out in Scotland, and found out that the French Army thought we had killed each other because they couldn't find either of us anywhere. So I made my way to Versailles and found Salieri and Marie, who told me to head here. I just got here last night."
"So what's the state of London?" Victoria asked.
"I'm afraid it's been completely taken over by French forces. Rome too, I stopped by on the way here."
"What about Versailles? Salieri and Marie are still there." Ritsuka looked at her with worry.
"They've pledged loyalty to Louis, I'm afraid. He was originally going to move the palace to Japan as a new headquarters, but decided to move back to where they were in order to box us in from both sides, and to control the western lands more efficiently."
"So we're going to Versailles first, I assume?"
"Yes. It means we'll have to fight five Servants, two of which are top class."
"It's possible as we are now, but the hard part is that we have to find an army to combat theirs, otherwise we'd be overwhelmed from the back." Catherine explained.
"So what are we supposed to do then? In case you haven't noticed, the only armies left are the French and the Japanese!" Ritsuka stepped back, protesting.
"Not quite. The Russian army is very much intact."
"But...those soldiers you sent to India with us-"
"A very small force. You see, we've been deceiving everyone about our army strength this entire time. The Russian army is very large and capable, it's just that my plan was always to accomplish more by diplomacy and keep the army in reserve so that everyone believed our military strength was lacking. And there's another factor."
"What…?" Anastasia asked.
"I have a special skill. It's Charisma relating specifically to Russian soldiers. Whenever I lead armies that consist of Russian forces, each and every one of them are raised to the peak of human strength, the same level as a weak Servant. In essence, the Russian army will be triple the strength as a normal one."
"You're kidding!" Ritsuka said in disbelief.
"I am not. I already asked them to mobilize. So let's begin formulating our strategy for attacking Versailles."
X
Stepping out of the palace, Ritsuka's group gasped when they saw the Russian Army, easily matching the size of the French one, standing outside already armed, cheering when they saw Catherine step to the front. She changed her clothes with a flash of light, now wearing tight dark blue leggings, black boots, a matching blue shirt, light armor, and a blue cape, with her sword strapped to her side.
"Soldiers! We were humiliated the other day by a betrayal that we should have seen coming! But we did in fact see it coming! You have all been saving your strength for this moment! I have kept you secret from the other countries so that we could get the jump on them! And now we march to Versailles to get our revenge on Louis! In proper history, France and Russia are allies, but we have an obligation to reclaim our pride and show them what happens when you try to attack Mother Russia!" She raised her sword to the sky, and they all cheered again, beginning to move out.
"You're sure this will work? He'll be expecting it." Ritsuka asked Hayashi.
"Yes. It's precisely because he'll be expecting it that we need to do it. As long as we can pull Louis away from the army and take him on on his own, we can win this."
X
"They've been expecting us." Catherine stopped the army as they reached the entrance to the Chateau Gardens, the French army already staring them down.
"I thought that was the point." Victoria responded, preparing her scepter to cast spells against them.
Leading the army, at the front, was Saint Louis.
"I guess Louis and Charlemagne are inside after all."
"Good. That's what we want." Catherine yelled out and the armies charged, clashing against each other while the two women made their ways towards Saint Louis.
"Now, let's go." Hayashi and the others made their ways around the gardens a different way, finding a back way into the palace.
"Where's the throne room?"
"It's on one of the upper floors." Ritsuka led them through the halls, navigating the massive palace, before stopping at a long hallway, meant to lead towards their destination.
"There you are!" Ritsuka called out, seeing Salieri and Marie standing together at the opposite end. Neither of them responded.
"Are you two alright? I heard you were working with Louis…" He began to walk towards them but Hayashi pulled him back as he saw Salieri flash a blade at them.
"They're not themselves." The two of them had red, glowing eyes as they slowly looked up, Salieri's armor going on in an instant.
"...Master, why don't you go on with the others? Hayashi and I will handle them." Jeanne placed here hand on his shoulder, him looking at her with concern.
"Try not to kill them…" He pleaded, as Anastasia, Raikou, Nero, and Scathach continued on with him, Hayashi and Jeanne clashing with the two to clear the way.
Breaking away and jumping back, Hayashi sighed, looking over at Jeanne.
"Let's try to knock them unconscious. But if that doesn't work, we'll have to resort to killing them."
"Alright. Can't you just use your Noble Phantasm on them to make this quick?"
"Each time I use it, it wears me down. And under the current circumstances, we should try to reserve our strength as much as possible for fighting Charlemagne and Louis."
"Right."
Salieri summoned his violin and by playing it, a few wraiths manifested, carrying rifles. As they shot at them, Hayashi quickly cast a shield spell, blocking the attacks, before activating his powers and flying across the hall, grabbing Salieri and smashing him into the wall. Marie created stars of energy and fired them at him, hitting into his back and making him drop him, as Jeanne then swung her flag at Marie, knocking her away.
Salieri used the opportunity to summon his blade, stabbing Hayashi while he was regaining his balance, making him grit his teeth, blood starting to drip from his mouth and from his wound.
"Verg Avesta…" He spoke, Salieri yelling out as the same pain was reflected onto him. Hayashi took the opportunity to rip his mask off forcefully, seeing his face underneath.
There was no life in his eyes...even though his irises had changed color and he was clearly being controlled, there was not even a will to fight back inside of them.
"Marie…" That's all he could say, barely in a whisper.
Hayashi punched him hard, but his response and demeanor didn't change, even though his face was now more damaged.
"Thunderforge." He sighed, and created a sword using his skill, stabbing him all the way through his torso from the side, his heart being one of its stops. Salieri's grip on his blade fell, and he dispersed into spirit particles, his weapon doing the same as Hayashi stumbled back a bit, his wound beginning to heal itself already. Rounding the corner, he saw that Jeanne had done the same, with Marie disappearing as well.
"Whoever did this to them used far too strong of a spell. Their minds were gone...they were like walking corpses…"
"...Aren't we all?" His words surprised her, but she found herself with no response, thinking about how her original body was burned away for crimes she did not commit.
They flinched when they heard slow clapping, and the slight clang of armor as another Servant walked towards them from the other end of the hall.
"Well done." Charlemagne congratulated, a very thin smile on his face.
X
Catherine and Saint Louis clashed swords again, the Russian Empress having a clear advantage in strength over him, knocking him back each time.
Golden light appeared in the sky, and he fired beams of energy at her, but she blocked them with a shield spell of her own, dashing at him with her sword drawn, the clanging of steel ringing out throughout the palace grounds as the soldiers continued to fight nearby.
'My Noble Phantasm is too risky to use around here, it would destroy everything and everyone…' Her sword gathered energy again, and she prepared to go after him for the killshot.
Victoria casted multiple reinforcement and galvanism spells on her, bringing her strength to several levels higher than a Top Servant, almost reaching the vicinity of Grand.
Dashing over to him, she grabbed his neck and launched herself into the air, flying miles away from the palace, into the forest. Letting go of him and slashing him across the torso, he stumbled back, falling onto his knees while her magic power spiked. She sheathed her sword and held her palm out up to the sky while gold and orange flames seared around her.
"You are not my ancestor by blood, but Russia has chosen me as her figurehead, and so you have been deemed the one to watch over me in this second life, great saint. Bless me with the power to obliterate this enemy, who threatens the good of the Russian people! Olga!"
Catherine was enveloped in a golden light, undergoing a metamorphosis, her shape changing. What emerged was a completely different person, a woman who looked similar, yet completely different. She wore a black and white cloak with a yellow cross emblazoned across it, tall black boots, a black veil around her head, and had long, flowing silver hair and fiery, orange eyes.
Holding her hand out towards Saint Louis, she uttered a few words in a cold tone.
"Plamya Vozmezdiya. Goret' v vechnom ogne." (Flames of Retribution. Burn in eternal fire) An enormous pillar of fire engulfed him, his piercing cry being heard throughout the area, yet Olga showed no remorse whatsoever. She could sense that the army that was maintained by his summons was quickly disappearing, and so he was sent back to the Throne. She turned around and began to walk to the palace again, intent on going to fight Louis.

Charlemagne had changed his outfit into black armor with gold trim and a black and red cape.
"...Were you the one who placed that spell on them?" Jeanne asked.
"No. That was His Majesty's doing, as he is a Ruler class. We intentionally didn't tell Salieri or Marie of our plan because we figured they would betray us in favor of you. Of course, when we returned and they noticed your absence, we told them what happened. And they wanted to attack us, so Louis put them under his control as a way to fight against you instead."
"I see. Verg Avesta-" Before Hayashi could use his Noble Phantasm, Charlemagne sliced through him, Jeanne crying out.
"Verg Avesta!" He called out again as Charlemagne coughed up blood, taking the same damage.
Jeanne used the opportunity to jump over to him and knock him around a bit with her flagpole, though he recovered and slashed her away with his sword.
Hayashi's wounds healed, and he used Modern Technology Comprehension to craft an SMG and Thunderforge to make another broadsword, shooting at him, then clashing blades, though Charlemagne still had the clear advantage, pushing him back.
"You're not going to beat me!" He continued to attack, Hayashi blocking his swings while Jeanne came around and tried to hit him from the side, but he fended off both of them at the same time.
Kicking them both away, he channeled wind, water and light around his blade and swung around, unleashing a blast of elements, knocking them down the hall and into a ballroom.
"I think it's time I finish you." He jumped up and cut through the roof, going further up into the sky, blue wings of energy forming behind him to keep him up in the air. He pointed his sword down towards the room they were in, summoning all of the weapons of the other paladins.
"The holy light that shall never fade, the glowing colors of infinite changing form. Carve your legends into this blade to prove my kingly heroics! Joyeuse Ordre!" His blade channeled blue energy, and he pointed it down, the weapons launching as projectiles and the sword firing a beam.
"Here's the work of the Lord! My flag, defend our brethren! Luminosite Eternelle!" Jeanne created a shield around them, Hayashi using reinforcement on her to make it stronger. As Charlemagne's attack burst through the walls, colliding with her barrier, able to hold it off.
"Are you fine here?" Hayashi put his hand on her shoulder.
"Yes! Please don't sacrifice yourself Hayashi!"
"I won't!" He activated his powers and jumped out towards Charlemagne, grabbing his throat and plunging down to the ground.
"Let's end this now. Fall! Verg Avesta- Burst!" His powers switched color to blue, and blue lightning and magic energy sparked off of him, forming a huge sphere around the two. As they hit the ground, he tightened his grip, setting the explosion off as the two of them were consumed by the burst, expanding into the palace, breaking it apart as it hit each wall, leaving only part of it standing.
Joyeuse Ordre fizzled out, and Jeanne let down her barrier, jumping down to him, finding that Charlemagne was already gone, and Hayashi's body was heavily damaged.
"Are you alright…?" She asked, concerned, bending down.
"No...it hurts...it'll take a few hours for me to be back to normal...that's why I only use this as a last resort…"
"I'll stay with you until you're better then. I'm sure the others will be able to find a way to beat Louis." She sat down on the grass, smiling.

Luckily, the throne room was on the side of the palace that was intact. Ritsuka and the others made their way there, opening the doors, and finding Louis standing in front of the throne, looking down at all of them.
"Louis…" Ritsuka growled, the others going on guard, standing beside him.
"Ritsuka. I've been expecting you. Tell me, did you come here first?"
"Yes. We had to, you betrayed us."
"Of course. But if you had gone to Japan first, you would have defeated the greatest enemies first. I would have been easier to deal with in comparison. Wouldn't you rather have that?"
"No." He answered without a second thought. "Despite what Saber did to myself and Raikou, I don't take it personally. That's her prerogative. But you were supposed to be the one to help us. You were supposed to be the one to help us defeat them!"
"And as I explained to you then, we had already formed a pact with Japan long before you came along. I didn't betray anybody, I was just fulfilling the terms of our alliance. I was planning to do the same to Rome, honestly, had I accepted their proposal over yours."
"So why didn't you?"
"Because they would have tried to stab us in the back for their own purposes, and weakened our forces. You were none the wiser because you were so desperate to have extra strength on your side. Maybe you could have even tried to convince Japan to doublecross me, had you thought about it differently. But you didn't. And now you're stuck in this predicament. I'm not going to show you any mercy. All of you are nothing compared to the Japanese Emperors I have to face soon. So let's get this done. Le Roi De Soleil!"
He dropped his cape to the ground and unsheathed his sword, as a golden aura radiated around him, his magic power tearing through the room, the chairs, windows, and carpets breaking or tearing up.
"Master, get back!" Anastasia told him, clutching Viy to her chest and blasting freezing wind and ice at him, though he easily slashed through it with Joyeuse.
Scathach jumped over to him, thrusting her spear multiple times, as he dodged them or parried them, kicking her back.
"Take this!" He gathered golden energy into his blade then launched it in a horizontal wave at them, Raikou attempting to block it with a burst of lightning, cancelling the attacks out.
"I shall offer this gift to a full moon...Dancing scatters the flowers, and cleaves open a star! Behold the supreme beauty...and praise it! Aestus Domus Aurea!" She planted her sword into the floor, creating her theater and trapping Louis within it.
"Laus Saint Claudius!" She dashed at him, slashing outwards, flames engulfing him.
When the theater disappeared, he had taken damage, but was of course still standing.
"Tch…" He sliced backwards, his sword's power cutting through the wall, where he jumped out and headed to the front where the gardens were.
"After him!" They all jumped down as well, going to where the army was before.
"Louis!" Victoria called out as he rounded the corner, Ritsuka's group close behind.
"Hah!" He used a gust of wind to knock them all in front of him while his palace began to light up, glowing golden like his blade.
"This is a surefire way to win...Observe! I am one of the few bestowed with a King title by the Holy Grail! Because of my nature and influence, my power is limitless! Now witness it firsthand! Grand Roi Des Monarques: Joyeuse Divine Versailles!" He pointed his sword at them, and his palace prepared to fire a beam.
"My ultimate Noble Phantasm! When all of my others have been activated, Joyeuse, Château de Versailles, and Le Roi De Soleil, I can use this! An Anti-City beam of destruction meant to wipe out anything in my way!"
His charisma was stopped instantly when a sword pierced through his chest, his Noble Phantasm's momentum disappearing.
"Who...dares…?!" He said through clenched teeth, glancing behind him to see Saint Olga holding a blade in her hand.
"Enemy of Russia…die." He forced himself to jump off of the sword and get away as she tried to incinerate him in a pillar of fire.
"Who...are you…?!" He gasped.
"My name is Olga of Kiev, former ruler of Rus, ancestor of Grand Princes and Tsars, and Saint in the Eastern Orthodox sect of Christianity. As Grand Ruler, I'm here to eliminate any threats to my Russian descendants. Perish by my hand."
His eyes widened as she swiped her free hand through the air, a column of light shooting down from the sky and engulfing him, while a pillar of swirling fire followed suit from the ground up.
Golden flames whirled around her sword as she dashed towards him, once he slashed through her attack.
He fired beams of light at her from his sword, but she easily deflected them, firing bursts of darkness now from her other hand, Louis having trouble deflecting them, even getting knocked over by a few.
"Move out of the way." Ritsuka's group ran over to her side, and Olga fired a beam of darkness from her sword, knocking him far back through the gardens, all the way into the city in the distance.
"Proshchay. Genotsid Drevlyan." She held her hand out so that the city's horizon was in her sight, then closed it into a fist. In an instant, an explosion engulfed Versailles, obliterating anything in its path, startling the others as the Chateau disappeared and left them in the middle of an open field.
"He's dead now. Glory to Russia." She said, as her form changed again and she went back to regular Catherine.
"What...was that?" Anastasia asked cautiously.
"My Noble Phantasm, and an impossibly powerful one at that. It is an Anti-Unit Self type called Za Rodinu, meaning For the Motherland. Even though I am not directly related to her, as the most revered ruler in Russia's history, I am granted the power of metamorphosis into Saint Olga, one of the earliest leaders of the Kievan Rus, the predecessor to Russia. She famously exacted revenge on the Devlian tribe for killing her husband, the king of their own kingdom, and spread Chrstianity to the Slavs as much as she could. In the Throne of Heroes, she is in fact the Grand Ruler."
"I thought Louis claimed that title?" Ritsuka asked.
"The Root most likely lied to him. Olga is a bit of a unique case, she has the powers of both a Ruler and Avenger, and can be summoned as either class, but retains the powers of both. I can become her for a short time in her Grand form, where her powers are Anti-City and occasionally even Anti-Country class." She pointed to the remnants of Versailles in the distance.
"She has a rather cold disposition, especially towards her enemies, who she sees as obstructing the path to Russian glory, and therefore must be eliminated at all costs."
"So, you are in fact the strongest Servant in this war, then?" Ana asked.
"I do not know." She shook her head. "Olga is indeed powerful, but there are a handful of other servants who could fight on par with her, such as Karna, Ozymandias, or Solomon. I imagine this Japanese commander is one as well. We should make for Paris and begin our occupation. Our final fight will be among us sooner than we think."
End.
