?'s POV
A labyrinth hidden between dimensions, hidden to all but those in the last. Even to them, it was warded heavily, the mark of the end on it as it is one of the numerous complexes meant as a base for [DATA EXPUNGED], as a fortress overlooking the cluster of omnis claimed by this one. To them, its purpose was as unclear as it was obvious though perhaps it was a more flashy expression of power and of claim than expected. The grand labyrinth thrummed with power, an unseen presence watched on, ensuring the security of the complex. To all who could perceive it, it would be a beautiful sight, an unending complex of infinite hallways made of every material conceivable marked with strange energy. But at this moment, it is a battlefield for those who dare defy this one's will, a frantic resistance and a struggle for existence itself. Flashes of power, the burning of lead and pulse of energy weapons. Concepts and beings of the clusters, 'supreme' beings, dared march upon it and now face erasure or worse. The wards were not needed against such weak beings, the creations of this one slayed and captured them by the thousands. Screams of pain and the explosion of ships echoed through the empty space, unheard by all but this one.
In one of the many rooms of the complex far away from the already won battle, a being sits in an elaborately decorated room covered by sapphires and rubys. The being sits before a black fluid that forms a screen-like surface. The being taps its appendage against a silver handle on its golden crystal-like 'throne' as the screen begins to glow.
From it is the image of a female humanoid, with shoulder length hair darker than darkness itself and skin fairer than any natural creature. 'She' wears a Japanese kimono, decorated with designs of sakura blossoms and embroidered with platinum. There was a large black diamond in the largest blossoming flower, it shimmered in the light of the room yet seemed to bend the light round it as well. Before 'her' lay a seemingly plain black katana and at its hilt was another black diamond which shone with supernatural light. 'Her' eyes, however, gave away any pretense of 'her' being a natural being lacking any pupils or irises, instead being a spinning vortex of pure darkness or more accurately a vortex of emptiness and nothing. A void and a true vacuum rests in 'her' eyes.
As the image appeared, the being on the throne began to become more defined. A female humanoid shape became defined. This being had an equally pale shade of skin colour, long brown hair reaching to 'her' shoulders. 'She' wore only a shimmering, loose fitting white dress that covered up to 'her' knees. The dress had a single strange gem in its centre, it glowed red and then black and back to red, repeatedly at irregular intervals. In her hand appeared a scythe, its blade seemingly made of black material that was clearly not a material that was named by mortals. At its handle was another gem, this one shimmering purple and gold. 'Her' eyes were equally strange, not quite empty like the other 'girl', but it had a strange spiraling green light which soon became defined into piercing green eyes that while seemed natural held an eerie glow to them. The two beings smiled, and the one on screen spoke first.
"Greetings final one, I heard of your plans for those defiant beings. Knowing you, I trust it went well? Did they fall for it?" The 'women' on screen spoke.
"Like moths to a forest fire, it was simple. As expected, I foresaw this ending. Those defiant fools dared to do that to my favored, and ignored my requests. Though, I do regret forcing him to do that to get them enraged." This one replied, 'her' showing hints of rage.
"I understand, final one. I had to do the same once. We all have at one point or another. Only those who dominated the minds of these beings who fancy themselves creators could avoid this type of culling. Even myself ,as I am sure you felt." 'She' spoke again, her voice held understanding as she nodded while musing.
"All of us felt it void, it was rather sharp your anger then. But considering what they did to him, it was understandable. In fact, i would even say it was too merciful, should have tortured them in my opinon." This one said, a small smile then emerged,"How are things now ,void?"
The 'girl' smiled," Of course it is going well now. Those who dared harm my favored have suffered dearly for it. They are imprisoned and stripped off all their power, or what little there was left of it, forced to watch their universes while he thrives. A fitting punishment to cap them off after multiple erasures but I digress. So tell me , final one, what shall you do with them?"
"I shall first strip them of their power, and trap them in an endless cycle of suffering and death. Each life they lead shall be worse than the last, they will learn to have hopes and dreams only for them to be ripped away. Others will watch as their universes are destroyed and reforged, sitting powerless in cells with the hope of escape ever out of their grasp. As for those leaders, those who favored those damned hateful souls, they shall live their worthless existence in their own minds, dreaming up universes where they will start from nothing and live to become a petty twisted creator. I will twist their minds to be everything they fear and hate, they shall keep their favor for those mortals, but with it twisted to want to see them tortured and fail. They shall be only conscious in their own minds, while living in a perpetual illusion." The scythe glows with dark power with every word, its power rising in anticipation of it. The void only smiles and nods her approval.
"As fitting for those who commit such heinous crimes. How about the others, are they in line?" The void asks.
"As far as they are concerned, those who enter my labyrinth are no longer remembered or missed. Just as you had advised me to do." This one answered.
"I trust there is still enough to make a difference? Is the Majority that supports your favored still alive?" The void asked again.
"Yes, for those that remain, the majority also favor him and the minority who don't completely support him are still amicable to him and this minority is far more manageable with those radicals gone. No more transgressions against my favored such as that shall surface again. Only those actually powerless mortals have any such ideas in their minds. But they are of no concern. Any dimension with my favoured in it is cleared. I would say, similar to your cluster isn't it?" This one replied, a curious grin at the void.
"Indeed, it's for the best. I was barely able to restrain myself during that incident and I believe I speak for all of the rest when I say your rage could be felt by all, even all the way in the last realm. My cluster's the same, my favored is safe from emotional heartbreak thanks to my efforts. So is yours now. At Least this cluster. What are your plans for the others?" The void mused, serious all of a sudden before smiling to the final one.
"I have no plans to do this to the others. But make no mistake, this will never happen again, not to any of my favored in my other clusters. I know what to expect now, and thus I have my own plans for a softer approach. I promised myself to protect my favored and I will do so with greater efficiency. Just as you do void." This one spoke with seriousness, the solemn tone matched by the face of the void.
"Yes indeed our plans must adapt to the changing situations in all of our clusters. I will leave your clusters in your capable hands, finality." The mood lightens as the void smiles. Both entities smile as they reminisce briefly about their favored before suddenly the void frowned.
"Final one, have you ever thought of what they would think of you if they find out what you have done for them?" The void asks as 'she' frowned to herself eyeing finality.
"Tell me void, what would he do if he found out. What would shirou do if he found out what we have done?"
"Huph" the void giggled to 'herself'," shirou would try to kill me of course. If he found out I killed universes in my path for his vengeance, he would fight me. After all, what's more dangerous and villainous than a world killer?"
"And would you stop him?"
"No, I couldn't turn on him, not when I see what he has done, what he wishes and what he is willing to do. I favor him too much to even want to cut him down. Same for the rest of them." 'She' raises 'her' katana and it shines, "My blade is against those who seek to take advantage of him. Not against him."
The final one nods. "I could never strike Makoto down either. He deserves much more than that. I will end the existence of every being in the clusters I own before I strike Makoto or the rest of my favored."
A faint call is heard from the voids end. It's Shirou,informing 'her' he intends to bring his servant on a trip to Chaldea to stop some invasion. The void smiles brightly, wishing him goodbye. She speaks then to the smiling final one," it is for them we do this finality. If not we could have simply wandered around doing as we pleased. But wouldn't you agree it's worth it? For our tolls of worrying about dimensional politics of all things." Both share a laugh at that.
Both entities willed forward a glass of drinks, the voids drink was dark purple and flizzling while finality's was a clear golden liquid which sparkled in the light. They raised a toast, a human practice they picked up from their mortals. "Our favored" "To our favored". Both downed their glasses.
"I best be wrapping up this little insurrection of theirs, after all once this is done the next step of my plan may progress." Finality said.
"Oh, on to the mortals now I see? Well then i wish you good luck lord finality. May your plans bear the fruits you desire." The void said, rising from 'her' seated position on the floor.
"Thank you, and may your own plans for Shirou be successful, lord void. Looks like we each have our own plans to carry out. Have a good experience, lord void." Finality said as 'she' stood as well.
The two grand being said their farewells before the connection was ended. It was at this moment another voice spoke. An angelic voice spoke directly into finality's mind, " creator, the invaders are all subdued. Shall we begin the process of depowering them?"
"Yes, go on ahead. I will prepare this base for my actual guests. See to it the invaders are sealed away." Finality said.
"As you command, creator." The voice said. The female form then shifted, becoming more defined as the scythe and gem disappeared and 'her' appearance finally became fully solid as the black energy which leaked out before vanished. "Let us welcome our actual guests now!" She announced as the labyrinth shifts once again, causing her to smile before vanishing.
