Chapter 6: Side Stories (3)
"So…" Kid Gil asked as he saw a giant broom materialize then sweep away those kids under the blanket in the corner of the room. Remembering them from a while ago. Something about a Ruby girl? "Should we do something about that?"
"What can we do?" Billy the Kid brought up. Also watching as those kids then be put in a giant dust pan. "We ain't got no powers to stop this."
"Besides," Merlin smiled as he then saw a giant glove hand materialize and pick up the dust pan with those colorful kids. "While this guy is a jerk, he won't harm them."
"Whoopsie." The voice said as the gloved hand tilted and dropped three kids. A blonde guy who's head hit the floor and made a snap sound indicating a broken neck, aka, dead guy. The second being that girl from before who saluted and fell onto the ground and then literally falling to pieces as she made impact. The third being some cat eared girl who then landed on her butt. Compared to the other two, she got lucky.
"I'll just fix and bring those two back to life later." The voice said nonchalantly as they then threw the three kids and the rest into a black garbage bag which was then thrown over what may be an invisible shoulder. The bag then vanished.
"I'm sure he won't hurt them much." Merlin said with a smile.
"He just killed some of them." Ritsuka pointed out with a slight bit of horror in his eyes. Not often he saw regular humans died. Especially like that.
"Pretty sure dude said they'd be brought back to life." Not that Circe saw how that was possible considering that raising the dead should be impossible. Once a person died, that was it. Nothing could bring a person who truly died.
"Fou." For some reason Fou looked smug, while glancing at Mah.
"Maybe by our standards," Da Vinci then said. "But we have no idea what this entity is exactly. Our rules may not even work on this being." Gaia usually quelled beings like this voice, but obviously the voice proved itself capable of ignoring Gaia's laws without breaking a sweat. Though it made sense, the being did admit to being like a Foreigner God.
With the only difference being this one simply captured them but doing no harm and just being the occasional jerk. A massive improvement to one that wished to destroy humanity.
"Moving on, I wonder what we'll see next? Hopefully it's something funny like the last one." Guadako giggled.
"Yes, because everyone loves it when people are made fools of." EMIYA Archer grumbled a bit, not having liked what a joke he had been in that world. I mean, killed numerous times! At least that last one was epic.
"Yes, hopefully it will be something less humorous." Altria was also in agreement. Having not entirely liked how that world of her and her knights were fools. Embarrassing enough as it is.
"As long as it's good, I don't care." Atalanta inputted. "Though just in case, hey voice, what are you doing with those teenagers?" A lot of them wanted to know actually.
"Eh, just getting ready to set them back up for their Cinema Action." The voice bluntly told them. "Won't be ready for about another month overall, probably until November, but that's how time works."
"Eh?" Ritsuka looked confused. "But it hasn't been that much time here at all?"
"To you fools yeah." The voice told him and the rest. "But where I'm from, I slave away at picking boxes, sleeping, then having to work my brain to create those stories." The voice then turned their non-existent head with hurt. "Honestly...people don't appreciate how tough it is to make fanfictions. Always demanding the next update and crap like that! Tough to do when one's working at a ten-hour shift idiots!"
At this point, the voice wasn't even talking to the cast, and just complaining of things they didn't understand or comprehend. A good thing to as if they realized what they really were, they'd break.
"Ah whatever." The voice grumbled. "Anyway, I'll be back in a bit, so just watch these little side stories and be done with it. Be back soon." Then with a popping sound, the voice and the bag of kidnapped RWBY victims were gone.
The screen then turned on, about to reveal another set of their parallels with everyone sitting down.
"Well, at least we still have sake." Shuten smiled and began drinking with Ibakiri doing the same.
"Hopefully it'll be neat." Robin Hood smirked and leaned back.
Body Swap...with Blackbeard. By gegegesuke.
'It was sudden but Blackbeard and I swapped bodies.' Guadako thought as she looked depressed in Blackbeard's body while the pirate himself looked absolutely joyful!
"Nooooo!" Guadako screamed in horror!
"Yeeees!" Blackbeard screamed in joy.
"Haaaaahaahahaha!" Ritsuka laughed at his sisters own embarrassment.
"Isn't funny when it's you, huh?" EMIYA Archer says in spite, though admits he's being petty.
Others felt bad for Guadako, but couldn't help but also giggle a bit or smirk.
"This is too much…" The new Blackbeard groaned as 'he' put his hands on his face. "I thought I saved the world, but what follows is this type of trial…"
The new Guadako smiled as 'she' looked at Blackbeard. "With me it would be an extremely high level difficult."
"What's with the voice?!" Blackbeard then roared at 'Guadako', who was speaking differently. "Urgh!"
"Dylufufufufu." Guadako laughed. "This is so that the ones listening can better understand about body swapping, the producer decided to introduce this unforeseen development? I think?"
"This turn is for explanations?"
"And I don't get any of that at all." Achilles said, confused by this crappy explanation. "I don't suppose you get it, do you Black-"
"Hehehehe." He then stopped as his fellow Rider just giggled maniacally. Oh boy, he's useless here.
"Uh...Senpai?" Mash looked at Guadako who just looked dead. Boy does she dislike this.
It was then Guadako looked at Blackbeard. "But, even if you rush it is of no use, shouldn't we calmly get a hand on the situation here?" On the outside it showed Guadako cutely putting a finger on her lips and an arm under her rather sizable chest while slightly blushing.
"BLEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHH!" In Blackbeard's perspective all 'he' saw was the actual Blackbeard himself overlapping his old body which was not pretty, thus vomiting.
"Glaaaa!" Guadako threw up in a bag as Mash patted her back.
"Stop it right now. I'll kill you…" The new Blackbeard said as he grabbed the new Guadako's head, actually looking scary to even Guadako.
"Such a high-level of self-damage." Guadako eeped. It was then her face lit up for a moment.
"Wait!" Blackbeard shouted at the walking Guadako. "Where are you going?"
Guadako smiled. "Going to the ladies room for a bit…"
The new Blackbeard just screamed a wordless scream as he grabbed his head in both rage and horror.
Blackbeard smiled.
"Hya!" Then got drop kicked by Mash herself! The pirate going unconscious. Mash looking at him and said, "No more watching."
An overprotective one, this one is.
"Stop it!" Blackbeard shouted at the new Guadako, grabbing onto her waist. "Only that you can't!"
"Nononono, it's gonna leak out! It's gonna leak out!" The new Guadako replied to the new Blackbeard, trying to push him away.
"Shut up!" The new Blackbeard replied. "To have it leak out is thousands of times better!"
"You dislike it to that extent?!" The new Guadako yelled. However, she then got an idea. Instantly raising her hand to show the Command Spells. "Fufufu, but now I have this!"
"Ugh!" The new Blackbeard moaned as he realized that since he's a Servant, now he can be commanded.
Which is why it was time for drastic measures.
"..." The new Blackbead mumbled something, with the new Guadako curious.
"Hmm? I can't hear you. Kuhuhu." She giggled.
The new Blackbeard looked at her and then said one thing with a serious face.
"I'll go mastrbate in front of Drake."
"!"
"Oh man!" Ritsuka said in shock. "She's serious!"
"..." Francis Drake herself looked away, feeling a bit grossed out.
"Gah!" Then like a phoenix, Blackbeard rose up from his knocked out state and cried out in horror. No! Not like this!
"STOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!" The new Guadako yelled in horror as she tried stopping the New Blackbeard. To bad the new Blackbeard is technically stronger than her thus could move much more easily.
"I'll do it." Was all the new Blackbeard said.
"Fine, I understand. I'll hold it in." The New Guadako tried cutting a deal with her old body. "Hah. So it's fine if you don't do it."
The new Blackbeard however, wasn't backing down. Mind already made at this point as he stared at the new Guadako. "It's a physiological phenomenon. It would be better if we each resolved it quickly."
"Damn it doesn't feel like a sound argument , but either way I don't get it anymore!"
"None of us do." Ritsuka deadpanned and this crazy scene. His sister was always headstrong and stubborn, and once she made up her mind, there was no stopping her. Blackbeard himself now praying this bad end won't happen.
"Don't worry." The new Blackbeard then said to the New Guadako. "If it's Drake I think I'll get it done in 3 seconds."
The New Guadako was disgustingly surprised by that time frame.
"So am I!" Blackbeard roared.
"What's not to worry about?!" The New Guadako shouted. "Isn't that too fast?!"
"That's how it is." Is the response.
"Ahh...wait. Wait. Sto...Sto-p! I-I have the Command Seal…" Nothing happened. "Huh?! She's not listening?! Ah-Help me, God!"
After three minutes they switched back with no problems.
Both Blackbeard and Guadako looked tired as they felt what they saw attack them both mentally. It'll be a bit before they get back their minds in place.
"Well that was something." Rival of Achilles, Hector jokes.
"Yeah, it sure was bro." Paris smiled and thought it was funny.
"And a bit gross at the end, but still funny." Ritsuka put a half-smile up. Nice to see he wasn't the only one being humiliated.
The screen then began resuming, yet the voice wasn't here.
"Huh, guess he really isn't here. At least for the time being." Circe looked around. "Thought for sure he'd be back."
"Guess he's just busy with that plot of his." Cu says. "Oh well, not our problem. Let's just watch while eating good food."
"Agreed." Fergus laughed with his only regret being he couldn't summon woman to sate his other 'hungry' desires.
The Chaldea That Has No Male SSRs.
It has happened. The day has finally come! It was the day where mana at Chaldea is at its highest, which meant one thing.
"It's here!" Ritsuka Fujimaru cried in joy while holding a special device in his hands. "The New Year's pick up!"
Mash, being her helpful self, spoke, "You'll be able to roll some famous limited Servants starting next week."
Instantly the two imagined the Servants they could randomly summon. Moriaty. Scathach. Tamamo. Even Gilgamesh!
"Thanks for the explanation!" Ritsuka nodded.
"Ah, summoning Servants' Guadako smiled. "It's like rolling a gatcha!"
"Too bad we have bad luck in that." Ritsuka reminded her of all those failed attempts. Sure they have cool Servants now, but it took an entire year to accomplish that.
Stupid Black Keys and other medicore items.
The sibling duo swear they had bad luck in that Servant summoning system that was like a gacha. Maybe that Fujimaru will have better luck.
"Senpai, who are you aiming for?" Mash then asked Ritsuka who smiled.
"Gilgamesh!" He responded while throwing his fingers at Mash who looked rather surprised.
"Eh?!"
"Why is she surprised? I'm perfect." Kid Gil smirked while putting his hands on his hair and smiling.
"More like a jerk." Illya glared at him. Recalling how he nearly killed her and her friends back in her homeworld. Turning into some weapon abomination. Luckily, she beat him thanks to the fact that he was only half-incarnated. Whatever that meant.
"Still, why does he want that blonde bastard?" Cu then scratches his head. "I mean, sure the dudes useful in a battle but what reason does he want him so badly for?"
"True enough." EMIYA Archer nodded. "While I dislike that Servant, Ritsuka there seems to wish to summon him badly. Maybe this version has a preference for him." After all, some Masters who were in Grail Wars gathered very specific relics for the Servants they wished to meet and use.
So maybe this Ritsuka liked Gilgamesh. If so, then he might be disappointed.
"That's...unexpected…" Mash then said looking a bit confused. "I've thought all along that Senpai's goal in this game was to have his own boobs harem."
Ritsuka became shocked for just a moment. "I-...Is that how you saw me, all this time?!"
"!" Ritsuka of the theatre looked at Mash who in turn was red and did her best to not look at him. Making him of course uncertain if she thought exactly like that world's Mash or not.
As his sister giggled more, Fergus himself then patted Ritsuka on the back with a thumbs up and a smile. "Yes...take that path like me."
Oh hell no.
Ritsuka then sighed, not even mad. "Well...to be fair, it's really noticeable in this Chaldea...That the women are too strong!" He then shouted at the end.
Where an image of many of Chaldea's best and top-ranking Servants were none other than women. Drake, Mordred, Shuten, Nightingale, Altera being the five top-best. Thanks to Da Vinci, she made a special star list with all the high-ranking Servants being females and are considered Five-Stars.
...While the rest of the men from the image below, while cool and strong, weren't Five-Stars but below that. Practically being overshadowed by the women.
"Though it might not be intentional...it feels like the Male Servants in our Chaldea are all henpecked by the Female Servants."
All of his Five-Star Servants are female.
"I'm not sure if I should be insulted or not." Medea angrily said.
"Same." Atalanta was in the same mood.
"Eh, not that big of a deal." Cu told the duo. "I mean, that Master probably just wants uh-what was it-gender equality."
"So that's why he must want Gilgamesh." Mash nods her head. "To bring some kind of...balance I guess." She really wasn't sure.
Ritsuka then looked serious, with Mash right behind him. "At this point, the only one who can tip the power balance is Gilgamesh!"
"Though it's fine if we get Artoria instead…" Mash whispered with Ritsuka, ignoring her and continuing his serious scream.
"ORYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
In a flash of light a Servant came.
"You've used up all your luck Mongrel!"
It was freakin Gilgamesh!
"!?" Ritsuka was utterly shocked he even got him.
"Good for you Senpai." Mash simply congratulated her Master with a bored tone.
However…
"Wait…" Ritsuka then realized something. Particularly how many males in history for some reason turned out to be girls! "He might actually be a female under all that armor…" He then snapped his fingers and two Servants came out.
Two that were going to enjoy the next orders as Gilgamesh would surely resist.
"Just in case, strip him!"
Cracking his knuckles while the latter glared at Gilgamesh, the two level 80 Servants EMIYA Archer and Cu Lancer prepared to strip Gilgamesh. Who could only say one thing against them.
"What are you doing?! Stop it! Sto-..! Nooooo!"
Kid Gil laughed.
"Aren't...you laughing at yourself?" Miyu questioned the young king who grinned.
"Eh, technically it's not me, but adult me. So it's fine." Is his logical conclusion.
"I find it okay." Cu Lancer grinned. "My regret is that we couldn't do it personally ourselves."
"Indeed." EMIYA Archer could only dream of causing the king problems like that. What a shame.
"Oh, and look at that." Guadako pointed out. Noting that the screen was turning on again. "Seems we still got more to watch. Neat!"
"I'm all game with that." Billy the Kid drank some wine. "I'm all set here."
"Loads of us are." Chloe was munching on cookies. "This place is neat with the food department. Aw. Shame we don't have this function back home."
"But then we'd get sick of it." EMIYA Archer reminded his strange other-worlder sister. "After all, favorite meals are only our favorite because we don't eat them every day."
"True." Artoria agreed. "I like the food EMIYA makes, but I don't eat his cooking all the time so I can truly relish it."
"I guess that kinda makes sense." Ritsuka understands a bit. Maybe they could talk about that later. But for now, they had another place to watch. He wondered what it'll be this time.
Jeanne Celebrates Christmas a Tad Too Early by Mirabeau Studios
It was night time and rather dark. Inside a simple room is none other than Arturia Saber, who sleeps on a simple Koetsu. Though as she snores, it was then some jingles could be heard. This would slowly cause Saber to awaken while a bit tired.
"Hmm." She moaned. "Who's that?"
Walking to a door that had light peeking out from under it, Saber turned on the lights and slid the screen door open. Where there it revealed Jeanne Arc who for some reason was in a swimsuit covered by her jacket, a christmas tree, and...wait! Who the heck is that guy in armor!?
Also both were wearing Santa hats.
"Who...the heck is that?" EMIYA Archer blinked at what he was seeing.
"Now that's new." Merlin smiled as he looked at the strange person in armor. "Is there a Heroic Spirit that looks like that?"
"Heck no." Guadako shouts. "I know some Servants have outfits that are modern day to futuristic, but that one is way too crazy."
"Just who is he?" Ritsuka questioned.
"And if we can replicate that gear." Da Vinci looked interested along with Tesla. After all, Servants found modern day stuff to be pretty cool from time to time.
Both Jeanne and the mystery person then looked at Saber who seemed confused by what was even going on. "What, Jeanne?"
Jeanne simply smiled and said, "Merry Christmas Atoria."
The armored person then set off a little Popper that exploded releasing confetti while also knocking Jeanne's hat off.
Artoria was just confused further.
"Celebrating Christmas. Ah." Jeanne herself smiled a bit. Then frowned. "Though why am I in a swimsuit?"
"Wasn't it because that version of you hates Winter but still likes Christmas?" Jeanne Alter grumbled. "Though it looks like in that world a Master summoned your Archer self."
"Yes, and we all know that different selves of Servants are...strange." EMIYA still couldn't believe how many different versions Chaldea had of other Servants. Even he had an Alter!
"Are you ready to celebrate the birth of lord and savior?" Jeanne then asked while holding a sweater with none other than Jesus. Her strange friend blows on a party blower.
Artoria yawned a bit with half-closed eyes. "Jeanne. It's the middle of summer."
"Looks like that you decided to celebrate it in her favorite season." Guadako then guessed. Believing that since Archer Jeanne disliked Winter, but liked Christmas, she decided to just celebrate early.
"It does make some sense." Mash felt the logic was sound. "Though, who is that man?"
"Now I wish that voice bastard was here." Cu grumbled. "He might know."
"I took that tree back down in January." Artoria added as Jeanne then put on the sweater while smiling at Saber.
"Well, you know what they say in Orleans. Early to bed, only to break the siege." She told her while making some hand gestures like she was sleeping then slamming her fist onto the pal of her hand. Though soon after she then began looking sheepish. "Or is it english?" She then nervously laughed while rubbing her neck. "The Throne of Heroes is on a different calendar."
"Okay, I guess that makes more sense." Alaska Shirou gave Jeanna a teasing look who froned. "You just got the date wrong."
"Wait, the Throne has a calendar?" Astolfo then asked.
"No idea." Circe said. "Not like I care much what goes on in there."
Leaving it at that, Artoria then looked at the strange person in armor. "Who's this?"
Everyone wanted to know that answer.
"Oh, this is my friend." Jeanne said to Artoria, introducing the person. "We attend bible study together."
It then shows a flashback.
Where it reveals Jeanne who snuck out of Chaldea somehow and managed to find a church where there she prays to God. As she's appropriately dressed, next to her is none other than the same person who's also praying as well as the music plays.
Of course it's not just her or him. But many other unique people and beings also come to pray to God. From regular humans to Heroic Spirits like Jeanne to even a dog. As suddenly the door opens up and both Jeanne and her friend turn with wide eyes as a floating dog comes in to pray to the lord.
"Wait, what?" Ritsuka's eyes widened. "What was that!?"
"The world is definitely stranger than I remember.' Beowulf chuckled at what he saw. "Though then again, we are kinda confined here."
"True enough." Ishtar agrees. "Heck, in fact," She then turned to Jeanne who was sweating a bit. "Have you gone out like that version?"
"...Uh...n-n-n...hah...Yes." Jeanne admits. "I'm sorry, but I wanted to pray in a real church. A-and I swear in the Lord's name I didn't reveal my true identity or expose magecraft at all."
"Well that seems irresponsible." EMIYA Archer says with Jeanne looking a bit down.
"Oh come on." Guadako then says as she defends Jeanne. "It makes sense. I mean, do all of you like being constantly cooped up being in Chaldea?"
"Hell no!" Blackbeard raised his fist. "There's no sea to summon my ship and sail around in."
"This place is big...but so small." David admits finding Chaldea to be a sweet and nice place, but also a gilded cage.
"Even I wish to see the outside world and how it has advanced." Babbage reveals, wanting to see so much more on how humanity advanced.
"It does get boring hunting holographic animals." Atlanta wanted to see a real forest and real animals. Not just some simulation.
"I want to see how my home has changed." Achilles says his own desire. "It'd be neat to see how my hometown and what it has become."
"I also kinda wanna see how Uruk has become." Kid Gil nods.
"M-M-Maybe even see if there's people we know." Illya admits, wondering if there's a Shirou here, or even her mom and dad.
"I admit, I to wish to see the wonders humanity has possibly made." Da Vinci then relents. "Though in fact," She then faced the cast. "Who here aside from Jeanne has also gone out, even if only for a bit?"
To the Masters surprise and even Mash, it wasn't just Jeanne's hand that was raised. It was her, Circe, Hector, Nicitos, Billy the Kid, and even a few others. It seems they somehow snuck out when Chaldea wasn't looking. As for how however, well…
Moriarty grinned. While he likes Chaldea, he felt it was also a prison of sorts. So he allowed some Servants who wished to see the outside world go and in return, he stuck the middle finger to those who saw them as tools and not people. He bet the Mage Association would go crazy if they learned this.
"...Maybe we should find a way to deal with this." Ritsuka sighs, a bit surprised how many actually left Chaldea, but not actually blaming them.
"Maybe like a vacation." Guadako taps her chin. But to where.
"..." Mash didn't say anything, but there was one place she wouldn't mind visiting. 'Maybe Hawaii…'
Moving on from this, the cast then decided to resume watching while later they would discuss about leaving rights. But for now, they sat back and resumed the show.
"Oh of course." Saber says, accepting that answer. Even the one with the dog. She then stares at the man in armor, with a slight bit of caution and nervousness. "I mean, he seems a bit…" Her vision of him going red as he appeared ominous.
"Yeah...he kinda is scary looking." And Sieg has seen a lot of scary things.
"Dude looks badass." Ritsuka liked the dude's style.
Jeanne just stares, unaware that Saber saw her friend as a possible threat. Instead just waving it off while telling her, "Don't worry about it." She then took out a card. "So I got you a Burger King gift card for Christmas."
Suddenly the man in armor moved and looked at Jeanne with urgency in his silent yet loud voice. "He is here!"
"...What?" Jeanne asked.
"I HAVE PEERED INTO THE ABYSS! AND I HAVE FOUND THE ANSWERS I SEEK." Suddenly from nowhere a green person-thing came out with decent muscles and a Santa Hat with pants and a scarf came.
"Ah! Who are you?" Saber shouted with her sword out, now wide awake. Shocked by this sudden appearance of this thing.
"Woah!" Cu Lancer cried out. "Who the hell is that?"
"He came from nowhere!" Illya shivered.
"Now that's just creepy." Jeanne Alter agreed.
"He's not with us." Jeanne revealed with her friend nodding in agreement. Neither knowing who this guy is.
The strange green man who was rather Grinchy continued to speak to the three people inside and not stopping. "IF THERE IS ONE THING I LEARNED AFTER A YEAR OF HARD PRISON TIME IS THAT I BEAT SANTA TO DEATH!"
Jeanne instantly looked horrified at this declaration. Her pupils shrinking as her mouth fell open. "You what!?"
The scene then changed to a poor beaten Santa Claus, who was in jail for breaking air laws with his sleigh. Now on the ground as the Grinch said. "I'm okay guys. "
Though not as dead as the Grinch said.
"I just need to get up-Ahhh!" Though not in good health either as when he tried getting up,a snapping sound could be heard from him.
Altria Alter Santa, Alaska Shirouu, Jeanne Alter Santa Lily, Nightingale Santa, Altera Santa, EMIYA, and anybody who played Santa flinched and instantly felt the pain of the first one and true Santa.
"Kill that bastard!" EMIYA shouted.
"Kick his butt in the Lord's name!" Martha wanted this Grinch dead.
"Avenge Santa!" Jeanne Alter Lily roared.
"The poor man." Jeanne sniffled while many now wanted this Grinch dude to get his ass whooped.
"Hey…" Ritsuka then realized something. "Is Santa on the Throne of Heroes?"
...Now that was certainly a question worth wondering. Maybe Chaldea could later find out if Saint Nick and not the fake Santas of Chaldea was real later.
"AND AFTER ABSORBING HIS LIFE FORCE I HAVE TAPPED INTO POWER THAT WOULD MAKE THE OUTER GODS OF THE FAR BEYOND QUAKE IN THEIR COSMIC BOOTS!" The Grinch declared while making punching motions.
As the Grinch then continued talking about conquest and crap, both Saber and Jeanne could only look at him unsure what to do.
Click.
Except one. The man in armor having gotten a gun and loaded it. Jeanne looked at him, then the Grinch, then him again. Unsure what to even do while Saber was just feeling awkward.
"Yeah, this dude is too talkative." Guadako moaned.
"And it looks like it'll cost him." Mash admits.
"He seems more bark than bite." Cu Lancer gives his thoughts.
"In other words, he'll lose." Ritsuka concluded.
"Even if he has power, it's nothing without the skill to use it." Artoria says a piece of wisdom. "And while he seems strong, he doesn't seem skilled in any type of martial art." Still, it made her wonder how this Grinch would be beaten.
The green Grinch then began moving around. His power causes him to move fast but like some kind of computer glitch to the others. Making one movement there, and another without them seeing the motion of it. The Grinch still talking in an erratic way. "FOR I AM THE SPARK THAT WILL LIGHT THE FIRE THAT WILL BURN DOWN THE FIRST ORDER AND YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE!"
Now that was too far, as the Grinch would learn when a warning shot was made right near him. Pausing, he turned it was none other than the armored man, who unlike Jeanne, was more than willing to resort to violence to ensure this beautiful holiday celebrating the lord would go uninterrupted.
"I SEE." The Grinch said in realization, as the armored man walked to him. "SO YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SHALL OBSTRUCT MY VENGEANCE TODAY." He then shook his hips weirdly as if trying to taunt thee man. "WHAT MANNER OF TREACHERY SHALL YOU RESORT TO IN ORDER TO CONTAIN ME? ARRESTING ME, AS YOUR PREDECESSOR ONCE DID?"
The armored man said nothing, and for a moment the world itself seemed to turn red as he walked to the Grinch, unamused by his antics. Gun practically ready to shoot. Then he spoke saying, "I am not like my predecessor." In the silent but deadly tone.
"THEN WHAT WAY?"
A motor could be heard, and the Grinch looked down. There in the armored man's hands is a chainsaw, now ready to go. The man stared at the grinch in the eye and said, "I lack restraint."
A quick fast-forward later, and both Jeanne and Artoria were watching the armored man cleaning up the red mess made so they could resume Summer-Christmas. Neither feeling sorry for what happened to Mr. Grinch. Though the atmosphere was rather awkward, and Jeanne, being her nice self, tried to change the mood.
"I mean you're ruining Christmas." She then said as the armored man was cleaning all the blood. But then she remembered what the Grinch tried doing earlier. "But looks like he was going to ruin Christmas too...eh."
Then suddenly another armored man came with pizza, having also been part of the Christmas event and looking frantic. "Guys, I heard the Grinch was back. Also the pizza's-oh." He then saw what happened. "Oh...oh…"
The screen turned off.
"...Yikes." Tamamo shivers. "While I don't care that little green man died, but that must not have been a good way to go."
"Wait, so did that armored man save Christmas?" Jeanne Alter Santa Lily asked.
"...I don't think so." EMIYA Archer concluded.
"But then again, it was already about to be ruined...so…" SO in Guadako's view, it was also kinda saved...Kinda?
"Well, at least I made a good friend." Jeanne smiled, feeling happy for her other self making friends with a man like that. "Though I ponder who he is.
"Maybe he's some kind of Doom Slayer guy." Cu chuckled.
"Where did you get that kind of name from?" Nero questioned the Lancer Class Servant.
"Well, because he looked like he brought the doom to whoever messed with him, and slays the people messing with him." Cu explained himself.
"I doubt Doom Slayer is even his name." Chloe rolled her eyes. "Though then again, who knows what kind of name he could have. Lots of us have strange names."
"Indeed." Lancelot nods. "In today's modern day, most of our names would be...off...by today's standards."
"And assuming anybody knows our names." Da Vinci commented, how not everybody knew about historical figures in legend. Those like Hercules, herself, and Jack the Ripper were famed enough for regular people to know. Those like Gilgamesh, Arjuna, and Atalanta...not so much unless it was from their home country. After all, each country had their own historical figures.
"Regardless, that was another good set of side stories. Makes me curious what's next now." Robin Hood chewed on an apple.
"Oh that's easy." It was then a whooshing sound could be heard and instantly everybody knew that the voice was back. "What you'll be seeing next will be a long one. One that'll feature familiar faces, but new ones you've never seen before."
"I'm already liking it." Alice cheered with Jack right beside her.
"Good. Because you're about to get a taste of something I like to call, the multiverse."
Next chapter, we'll be seeing the fanfiction story of another Grail War we saw, and a speedy hero with furry friends.
