Sorry for taking so long I decided to take a break from writing this story so I could enjoy my holiday break. I also wanted to take a break for the sake of my health so I don't want to spend all of my free time at home working on this story and I needed to take my mind off of it for a while. I have cool ideas for scenes in the singularities but writing the events to get there feels like a chore to do.
To make up for the time between chapters, this one is longer at 10.7k words.
I'm just going to show the individual changes to the servant profile at the end of chapters and only show the whole thing with all of the changes at either the end of each singularity or during key points in the singularity to save time.
Responses:
Xs0nicblAdeX: Maybe that would be funny.
Ghostly: I do intend to have servants find out about the Spartan II and III programs in the future just not right away. As much as I enjoy the info dumps I can't just give them away all at once because despite how much I hate it when characters in crossovers leave out parts of their backstory or are pretty vague I do understand why those parts are like that.
blackberry1773: Alaya was created by Gaia and acts as the embodiment of humanity's will to survive but is a separate entity outside of humanity. Alaya ensures that humanity doesn't go extinct and removes timelines that deviate too far or drastically alter the course of humanity so we don't end up with timelines similar to the ones in the lost belts. The Librarian's imprints were directly part of humanity to ensure that humanity makes certain decisions and follows a general path of technological development that is required for them to reach the Mantle. The imprints are not a separate being that protects humanity from extinction. As for the question on "The Weapon". I explained that revealing why Cortana has the memories of "the weapon" involves a huge spoiler for Infinite's campaign so if you want to know the reasoning behind my decision then play the game because it won't be explained in this story until at least April.
edboy4926: I don't have a full fledged opinion on the endless just yet, I don't hate or dislike them. We don't have enough on them for me to form an opinion but I am curious about what 343 will do with them in the future.
Dragon lord Syed 101: When I wrote the first few chapters I was kinda intending for Chief to take a leadership role similar to his role in the Forward Unto Dawn movie, having no Idea he would have that kinda dynamic with Echo-216 in Halo Infinite's campaign.
I don't own any of these characters or the franchises they belong to.
First Singularity: Orleans, Chapter 2
Morning…
Gudako POV
Opening her eyes Gudako sat up and stretched her arms out releasing a loud groan. Looking around she could see that her brother Ritsuka was laying flat on his back and still asleep. No real surprise there, he was always a heavy sleeper. She noticed Fou as he trotted up to her before hopping on her lap.
"Good morning Fou."
"Fouu!"
As she petted its head she began thinking back to her dream last night. And the implications of it. Was her servant really kidnapped as a child, why would they have to kidnap children and make them soldiers? Who was that woman that looked like Cortana? She decided not to focus on it for now because Cortana was planning on divulging part of their history after they summoned a new servant today.
Standing up, she walked over to her brother in order to wake him up but after seeing Fou running up to Ritsuka she ultimately decided to just sit back and watch things unfold. She watched as Fou leaped up into the air and landed square on Ritsuka's stomach.
"Ough! Why Fou?" Ritsuka asked with a feeling of betrayal in his voice upon suddenly being woken up. Before turning to Gudako "Why couldn't you just shake me to wake me up!?"
"Now where's the fun in that? And besides, Fou looked like he wanted to wake you up and who am I to deny his request?" She shrugged with a smirk on her face.
"I hate you."
"Love you too."
Getting up as Fou hopped onto Ritsuka's shoulder, he turned to see Mashu and Jeanne walking out from behind some trees.
"Good morning Senpai, Jeanne and I were talking with Master Chief and Cortana about our plan for today." Mashu told Ritsuka as she approached the twins.
"Where is Master Chief?" Gudako asked as she couldn't see him anywhere.
"Cortana found a leyline in a small clearing up ahead and Master Chief volunteered to go ahead and make sure the route was clear." Jeanne told her.
"Then let's get going right away." Gudako said as she started walking forwards.
"Umm, Gudako-Senpai. The leyline is that way." Mashu said pointing to her right.
"Sorry. I probably should have asked where it is before walking off." Gudako sheepishly replied while rubbing the back of her head. "Wait, we should contact Romani first to ask him where it is." she said as she activated her communicator. After a few seconds Romani picked up.
"Good morning Gudako, I assume you contacted us to ask about the location of the leyline that Cortana detected?" The doctor asked before taking a sip of coffee.
"Correct doctor, we would like to know the location of the leyline." Ritsuka asked.
"Cortana Marked the waypoint for it 500 meters south west of your location. Master Chief is 50 meters ahead and slowly approaching you guys."
"Thanks doctor, let's get going." Gudako said as she turned off the communicator.
"Let's get moving, I will lead the way." Jeanne said as the group started walking towards their destination.
After about a minute of walking, the group spotted a large rock up ahead with Master Chief crouched down on top of it surveying the area with his battle rifle. He then notices the group and jumps down.
"Path is clear, no signs of hostiles." He said
"That's certainly a relief." Ritsuka said before the group started to continue moving forward.
"You seem pretty calm." Ritsuka told the saint.
"No, to be honest, I'm panicking. No matter how you look at it, the other 'me' cannot be in the right mind. What that monster will do by controlling the people— it's easy to imagine. Overwhelming power and hatred can easily destroy a person no matter how noble they are." Jeanne said.
"What do you think, Cortana?" Ritsuka asked as the AI materialized behind Master Chief.
"Well the possibility that this other Jeanne d'Arc is someone or something else isn't entirely out of the question so it's best to keep an open mind until we are certain about them." Cortana answered.
"Thank you Cortana, it's just unnerving to know that you either have a clone or someone or something else is wearing your face." She said to the AI.
"I have a couple of Ideas on who this other Jeanne is, she could be an alternate Jeanne from another timeline, another would be that they were made by our enemy to cause the singularity. It could be both of those theories for all we know. It would be best to get more information before we start jumping to conclusions." The AI said.
'That doesn't really explain why Jeanne's strength is only at a fraction of what they should be.' Gudako thought to herself.
After a half-hour of walking the group finally reached the clearing. The clearing had a small pond off to the far left of the clearing with a small cliff directly in the back of the clearing. On the right side of the clearing they could see the forest opening up and showing the grassy plains.
"Doctor, we're at the layline." Rituka said into his communicator.
"Excellent work. Mashu, lay your shield down on the ground and prepare for the summoning. We are going to send over some supplies first." Romani over his comms as he prepared the transport system as the supplies were being prepared.
"Yes doctor." Mashu said as she laid her shield on the ground.
After a few seconds a magic circle appeared over the shield as a glowing ring started forming above it before collapsing into the center and releasing a bright light. As the light subsided they saw a small shoulder bag in the middle of the magic circle. Gudako walked up to it and picked it up before hanging it over his shoulder.
"We have the supplies doctor." Gudako said over the comms.
"Excellent Gudako, We will only be able to summon one servant right now due to Chaldea's current power limitations. Ritsuka, get ready to summon the servant."
"Right away doctor." Ritsuka said as he walked up to the magic circle.
He activated the mystic code chaldea provided for him and used his prana to activate the summoning system. After activating the summoning system the magic circle glowed before turning into a giant glowing ring around the shield as three smaller rings appeared at the center. After a second all the rings converged in the middle and released a bright light.
Once the light subsided they saw a familiar face standing in the center of the summoning circle.
"Archer-class Servant. I have been summoned and come at your request." Archer said to the group.
Gudako was surprised to see the same archer class servant from fuyuki only he looked different, his hair was brushed back and he wore a red holy shroud on his arms.
"Nice to meet you Archer, we summoned you to assist us in dismantling this singularity and prevent the incineration of humanity." Ritsuka said.
"Huh, at least I wasn't summoned for a Holy Grail war." He said as he closed his eyes and smirked while he crossed his arms.
"So I assume the other servants standing beside you are our allies?" Archer asked.
"Yes. I'm Ritsuka Fujimaru, she's my sister Gudako, and she's Mashu." The boy answered
"What's the current situation then?" He asked.
Ritsuka then explained what happened at Chaldea and the events in fuyuki. He then explained everything that's currently happening here in Orleans and the plan going forwards.
"So that's what's going on. I'll help you fix history and save humanity, master." He said as he got off of Mashu's shield before she picked it up.
"Thank you Archer." Risuka replied.
"I'll also get a vacation from Alaya." he mumbled under his breath.
"Well now that's out of the way. It's about time we–" Romani said as he was cut off.
"I'm picking up a Servant nearby!" Cortana said urgently.
"Location?" Master Chief asked.
"They're in La Charite, less than half a click away." Cortana answered
"It's getting further away!" Romani said, concerned.
"Sorry but the future history lesson will have to wait!" Cortana said.
"Master, I'm going to have to carry you if we want to reach the city fast enough." Archer said as he wrapped his arm around Ritsuka's waist and hung him over his shoulder.
"Ma'm permission to carry you to the objective?" Chief asked Gudako.
"Uhh, sure." She said before being picked up and put in the same position that her brother was in.
"Allow me to carry you mash." Jeanne asked.
"No thanks I can keep up, I will carry Fou." she replied.
"Fou!" Fou replied happily.
"Very well then." Jeanne said before the group ran to the location.
Upon arriving Master Chief and Archer set their Master's down.
"I hope I never have to go through that again." Gudako said
"Agreed." Ritsuka replied before turning their attention to the burning city.
"The town… It's burning!?" Mashu asked in shock.
"It couldn't be!" Jeanne said shocked.
"Cortana." Master Chief said.
"No use, There's nothing alive left here." Cortana Answered.
"It can't be—" Mashu solemnly said before everyone heard something.
"Wait. just now, a sound!" Jeanne said as she turned to the sound and was hit with shock.
"Looks like they've turned the whole town into undead." Mashu said.
"There's nothing we can do about it, let's just dispose of these things." Archer sighed as he summoned his married swords.
"Senpai, get behind me." Mashu said as she got in front of Ritsuka.
"Stay close," Master Chief told Gudako. As he headshot six of them in before using his grapple shot to grab a barrel before hurling it at a group of three. Archer then landed behind the three undead before decapitating them all in one swing. Archer then threw both his swords outwards towards a pair of undead. The swords then arched in the air towards each other and cut off the pairs heads as Archer created a new pair. Master Chief then turns around and headshots another four before firing his grapple shot at one and tossing it towards Archer who then cuts it in half Before throwing his swords straight into the heads of another pair of undead. The group then hear a loud roar above them and see a red Wyvern diving towards them.
Seeing this Archer creates a black bow in one hand before creating a drill shaped sword in the other hand. He then knocks it back like an arrow causing it to thin to the point where it resembles a rapier.
"My core is twisted in madness"
"CALADBOLG II!"
He then shot upwards at supersonic speeds before blowing the wyvern into chunks of flesh. As the chunks landed Master Chief spotted headshot an additional two undead before reloading as Archer withdrew his bow in favor of his married blades. As he lunges at another four and swings his swords inwards slicing clean through two of their skulls. Landing behind the second pair he quickly backflips over them, dodging their sword swings. While in the air cleanly slices the top half of their skulls off before landing on the other side of them.
Gudako turns to see that Jeanne and Mashu have just finished taking out their portion of Undead. Seeing that everything was clear they all got two what used to be the town square. They arrived to find four red wyverns eating some corpses of the town's inhabitants. Master Chief and Archer quickly take out two of them while Mashu and Jeanne take care of the other two. With the wyverns cleared they finally have a chance to breath.
"That's the last of the wyverns. No sign of the enemy nearby. The battle is over." Mashu said to the group before turning to find Jeanne with a worried look on her face. "Jeanne?"
"... It was most likely "me" who was behind this." The saint said in a solemn tone.
"We can't be sure of that yet–" Mashu tried to say before being cut off by the Saint.
"No, I can tell. I am sure of it." she solemnly spoke before she snapped out of it. "...There's just one thing I don't understand. How much do you have to hate others to wreak such havoc?" she asked herself.
"None."
The saint turned to see Master Chief facing her.
"What do you mean none?" she asked.
"You don't need to hate someone to cause this level of destruction or greater." The spartan told her.
"I don't understand, why would you not need to feel any hate in order to do this?" She asked.
"Because you can cause this level of suffering for other reasons. Greed, Power, Ideology, some don't even need a reason, they just do it because they either find it fun or just want to watch the world burn." Archer told her.
Jeanne looked like she was about to ask something when Gudako and Ritsuka's communicators went off.
"That servant we picked up earlier is coming back this way with four new servants!" Cortana urgently warned the group.
"You must be kidding, there's five! We don't stand a chance against them! You have to run!" Romani shouted over the comms.
"God damnit, what is it with my shitty luck." Archer sighed as he summoned his swords.
"Negative doctor, the best option is to quickly find cover." Master Chief responded.
"He's right, with how fast they're going, we won't be able to outrun them." Archer added.
"But there's no way you can fight an opponent that outnumbers you while one of you is weakened. We have to retreat, as any sane person would! It says so in the 36 Strategies of War!" Romani pleaded.
"...I won't run. I must at least find out what their true intentions are." Jeanne said while standing firm.
"She has a point, it would be best for us to try and get some intel on what we're up against." Cortana said.
"Find some cover, If things go south Archer and I will cover your retreat." The spartan said as he dematerialized his battle rifle and switched it for his sniper rifle.
"Gudako and Ritsuka-Senpai, over here." Mashu said by a stone wall that was once part of a building.
Not wasting time, Gudako and Ritsuka ran over to the wall and hid behind it.
"I will defend you two incase something happens." Mashu said as she also got behind the wall with them.
Gudako could only hope that her servant would be safe.
John POV
The Fujimaru twins and Mash had just gotten to cover. Chief quickly turned to a collapsed tower nearby and used his grapple shot to climb up onto it. He positioned himself behind what was left of half a window. He saw Archer summon his twin swords and got into his fighting stance as Jeanne followed suit and readied herself just as the enemies arrived.
Two pairs of servants had appeared along with the fifth servant. One pair appeared on the North eastern side of the square. The pair consisted of a man with pale skin and pale blond hair, he wore a rather fancy black suit with white accents on the top and a blue hue on the lower part of the coat, He held what looked like some kind of white and gray spear. The other Servant was a pale woman with white hair and yellow eyes that was behind a gray mask that covered the top half of her face. She wore a red dress with purple hues and possessed a staff in her hand.
The other pair on the Northwestern side was a caucasion woman with blue eyes and purple hair wearing some kind of priest attire holding a staff the shape of a cross. The other figure had dark blue eyes and blond hair, he was wearing some kind of knight outfit and a large hat that possessed a big feather on it. The Servant possessed both masculine and feminin features and held a rapier.
Between the two pairs was another Jeanne. Unlike the saint that had been with them, this Jeanne had platinum blond hair and yellow eyes, she wore a dark colored version of the real Jeanne's attire. She looked stunned as she stared at her blond counterpart before smiling.
"—What, on earth? Who knew… Who knew such a thing could happen?" The dark Jeanne said to her blond counterpart who was still stunned seeing herself in such a way. Master Chief was ready to fire and shout a fight break out. They may be outnumbered but that's nothing new for him. He's overcome far worse odds before.
"Could someone please pour some water on me. This is bad. It's awful. I think I'm really going to lose it . It's so funny I might die from laughing!" The Dark Jeanne said while laughing at the situation she has found herself in.
"Take a look at her Gilles! Look at that pathetic girl! What is she a wimp? A mouse? A worm? Either way, they're all the same! So puny, I can't even muster any sympathy!" She continued laughing at the saint with great enjoyment. It reminded Master Chief of Escharum during his time on Zeta Halo. The only difference being that he at least had some sense of honor.
"Ah… truly—a country that could only cling to "me"...comparing them to mice is an insult to mice. Hey Gilles, don't you think so— Oh, I see. We didn't bring Gilles along." She finished sounding disappointed.
"You… Who are you?" The saint said while tightly gripping her flag.
"I could ask the same of you… Right, as a leader, let me answer that. I am Jeanne d'Arc. The saint devoted to France… the other 'me'." she said smirking. And confusing the blond saint.
"What? That's nonsense. You are no saint. Just as I am no saint. But, that is already a thing of the past. More importantly—Why did you attack this town?" She asked angrily, causing her dark counterpart to frown.
"...Why, you ask? As the same Jeanne d'Arc, I thought you would understand. Are You stupid now that your alignment has changed? The reason I attacked this city? What a foolish question. It's obvious, isn't it?" She said, shifting her face to an evil grin. "It is for the sole purpose of destroying France. I am, after all, a Servant. Politically, economically, these methods take too long. Is it not better to simply physically crush everything?"
"Such foolishness!" The blond saint shouted in anger.
"Such foolishness? The foolish ones are us, Jeanne d'Arc. Why did you want to save this country? Why did you want to bring salvation to these people? All the while knowing that they are the ones who spit on and betrayed us!" She yelled in anger at her blond counterpart causing her to flinch.
"That is—"
"I will be fooled no longer. I will be betrayed no longer. I no longer hear the voice of the Lord." She said scowling before returning to a neutral expression. "The fact that I cannot hear His voice, means the Lord no longer blesses this country. So, I will destroy it, in accordance to the Lord's grief. I will cut away all the bad seeds at the roots. As long as the human race exists, so will my hatred. I will remake this France into a land of the dead. That's how I will save this country. By the hands of the new Jeanne d'Arc, reborn through death. I suppose you could never understand. Always playing the saint." She said smiling before her face turned into one of pure rage. "Impossible for a pretty little holy virgin who pretends not to see hatred and joy and is incapable of human growth!" She yelled in rage causing her blond counterpart to hang her head slightly.
This dark Jeanne d'Arc was reminding him of The Didact and how he saw humanity as a threat that needed to be destroyed.
"And what is human growth to Servants? If you're going to call it something, you would rank up as a Heroic spirit." Archer told the dark saint, causing her to scowl at him.
"There appears to be an ignorant outsider who should learn not to get into someone else's business. Should I kill him as punishment for interfering with my business?"
"Are you really 'me'?" Jeanne asked her dark counterpart. This seemed to annoy the dark saint.
"…I have played my part for you so clearly, yet you still have doubts? This rage is an ugly justice. It's not that you cannot understand it, you do not even have the will to try. But, I understand. Seeing you, I have realized all there is to the Heroic Spirit that is myself. You are neither Ruler nor Jeanne d'Arc. You are nothing but some leftover residue that I threw away." She declared smiling at the shocked Saint before continuing.
"If you were the same existence and class as I, then I should have felt something. But you are worthless. Nothing but a ghost with a misguided effort to recreate history. Berserk Lancer, Berserk Assassin. Finish off that country girl as well as the other servant." She ordered one of the pair before she spotted a small glint in the corner of her vision. Quickly she jumped back as a round from Chief's sniper rifle barely missed her.
"WHO DARES TO STRIKE ME!" She yelled looking for where she spotted the glint earlier. She then notices Master Chief and smiles.
"Another servant, it matters not. I have greater numbers and all of them are stricken with madness enhancement. Any hero would falter before these odds." She declared before the spartan responds by taking another shot at her that she narrowly dodges signaling that he wasn't intimidated in the slightest.
"Devour them to your heart's content." She told the berserk servants.
"Very well. Now, I will have your blood." Lancer said as he raised his spear.
"Not so fast 'my king.' I would like to partake of her flesh and blood, as well as her insides. Especially the woman hiding behind that wall." Assassin pointed to the wall that Mashu was hiding behind alongside Ritsuka and Gudako.
"So greedy. And her soul? Who gets to take her soul?" Lancer asked.
"There is no gain in taking her soul. Do you think honor or reputation can maintain my beauty?" She sarcastically remarked.
Just before the Lancer could respond Master Chief fired on the Assassin who was saved by Lancer deflecting the bullet with his spear.
"Then I suppose I shall take her soul." He said as both servants dodge another shot before he slams his spear into the ground causing a spike of blood to shoot towards the tower. Causing Chief to boost off the tower and dodging the spike.
Archer quickly lunged at the assassin to keep her from targeting the spartan. Chief switched to his shotgun on his back just before landing on the ground and dodging another blood spike. Chief than quickly fires at the lancer who barely dodges before lunging at the spartan. Chief side steps Lancer's spear and fires another shot which causes Lancer to quickly lean back and avoid the buckshot coming at him. Lancer then follows it up by trying an upward swing with his spear. Chief grabs a combat knife off the back of his hip and parries the spear before head butting Lancer. While Lancer is dazed, Chief quickly boosts to the side to avoid another blood spike from behind him which stops just before hitting Lancer. John then boosts into Lancer and makes a huge gash in his shoulder.
Lancer tries to go for a stab which slices the side of Chief's stomach causing his shields to flare up making lancer's eyes widen before he is forced to swing his spear back to redirect the Spartan's shotgun blast. John then swings his right leg, sweeping lancers legs causing him to fall over. Just as Chief was about to go for another shot Lancer knocks the shotgun away causing chief to miss before pointing the spear's tip towards the ground. As the spear hurdled towards the ground time slows to a crawl.
Spartan Time
Chief quickly jumped back just before the spear's tip hit the ground. Several Blood spikes shot out of the ground around Lancer. Chief quickly jumped over the spikes before firing his grapple shot towards the servant who threw his spear towards Chief. Chief activates his thrusters and boosts to the side just as the spear's tip slowly graces along his chest as his shields protect him. John swipes the spear's handle to ensure that it won't get back to its owner when it lands before his feet touch one of the blood spikes. He quickly boosts himself towards the berserk Lancer who has now pushed himself up and is jumping towards the spartan. John quickly grabbed his combat knife and jammed it into one of the servant's hands before punching him in the throat with his other hand. As the two were heading to the ground Chief lifted his knee and stomped down on Lancers gut just as they hit the ground causing a crater to form. John quickly took his knife out of Lancer's hand and went to stab the heart before quickly noticing someone behind him on his motion sensor and front flipping forward to avoid the assassin's long nails. Chief then threw his knife towards Assassin who deflects it before being forced to dodge a point blank blast from his shotgun. Chief quickly lands and jumps back over the blood spike. Assassin jumps towards him to meet him head on but is kicked away. Chief then reloads his weapon before landing just as time returns to normal speed.
Archer lands beside Master Chief with a few cuts as Lancer jumps out of the Spikes and catch's his weapon mid air before landing back down next to Assassin.
"Madness enhancement is making them such a pain to fight." Archer remarked.
Archer was just about to go for assassin again but was cut off by a row of blood spikes.
"Your souls are for me to devour." Lancer said with hunger in his eyes.
"Jeanne and Mash should be able to handle assassin for the time being." Archer told the spartan.
"Understood." Chief replied as he dematerialized the sniper rifle on his back before placing his shotgun in its place. He quickly summoned his energy sword and activated it which caused Archer to glance at the weapon before widening his eyes slightly. Archer summons his married blades and gets into his favorite stance as Master Chief's energy shields finished recharging. The two servants then charge towards Lancer to continue fighting.
Jeanne Alter POV
Standing on a nearby building, Jeanne Alter was observing the battle that was unfolding before her. While that shield using servant that was fighting alongside her counterpart was certainly an enigma, her attention was mostly focused on the two servants fighting Lancer. Both were interesting in their own rights but the one that stood out the most was the one in green armor who nearly took her out with ease. Considering he primarily uses ranged weapons he's most likely an Archer. She looks to where the shielder jumped out of.
'The masters must be hiding there. This archer and that other servant are an annoyance, once Assassin kills them It should be back to business as usual.' Jeanne Alter thinks. Part of her was curious about the two fighting Lancer as they don't seem to be from the past like the rest of them. She pondered if she should use her class skill: True name revelation on them.
"Out of my way Shielder, that maiden is mine!" Assassin yells as she sent an Iron Maiden at the shielder. However the shielder holds steady and gives the weakened Jeanne an opening to attack from the side and nearly giving a fatal blow.
"Curses, as much as I hate to say it, I may need Lord Dracula's help." Assassin said without any concern.
"L-lord Dracula!?" The shielder said as she started to be concerned. Judging by the reaction of the two servants fighting Dracula they must have heard them.
"Tch. To think my true name would be uttered by you in the middle of battle. I am very displeased." Dracula chastised his ally.
"Oh, shush now, Now you don't have a reason to hold back…" The Assassin smirks as Vlad stabs his spear into the ground and opens his palms. He looks at his opponents with eyes that promise death.
"Covered in blood…"
"Master Chief/Archer no!" The two masters that were hiding yelled to the servants with worry.
"This isn't good." The colored Archer said as he dematerialized his swords before raising his and and mumbling something. As the armored servant deactivated his sword and attached it to his leg before preparing to summon something new.
"I hereby offer up my life!"
"KAZIKLI BEY!"
Five massive blood spears erupted out of vlad's chest towards the two servants.
"RHO AIAS!"
The red archer shouted as a pink flower with seven petals appeared in front of them projecting a seven layered shield that blocked the five spears. The first two layers broke with ease. Slowly the spears made their way through another three layers.
Cracks started to form on the second to last layer before the spears went through leaving only one layer left.
'That red archer class servant is doing quite well, let's find out who you are.' Jeanne alter thought to herself as she activated her True Name revelations skill to find out who the red archer was. 'A Counter Guardian summoned as a heroic spirit? very interesting but dealing with him shouldn't be too much trouble.' She thought to herself as she smirked at his information before turning to the other servant.
'That one's such an enigma, who are you?' She thought before activating True Name Revelation on the armored servant.
As cracks on the layer were spreading the green armored servant deployed his own shield in front of the red archer. The green armored one was holding some strange plank shaped weapon. Seeing that the shields would give way, the armored servant pushed the red archer out of the way as the pink shield failed and the spears plowed through the yellow wall and into him as an explosion of dust covered where the servant was standing.
The shielder and blond Jeanne looked at the scene with shocked faces while Archer narrowed his eyes at Lancer.
"Humps, looks like he wasn't that much of a threat…Now for you." Lancer said as he turned towards Archer with a smirk on his face.
"What are you doing you idiot!? Don't let your guard down until we know for sure that servant is dead." Jeanne alter yells leaving Lancer confused as he starts to hear a high pitched buzzing noise coming from the cloud of dust.
Everyone turned their gaze to the dust cloud as something flies out of the dust cloud at hypersonic speeds. Lancer tries to raise his spear to deflect it away from his heart but all he did was graze the object slightly altering its course as it rips through his chest and takes his heart anyway and destroys the stone wall behind him.
"My King!" Assassin yells out as she tried to get to him before being forced back by Jeanne.
The shot had cleared away the dust cloud revealing the armored servant with a huge black mark on his armor chest piece as a yellow Field of energy started to coat his body. Leaving many of the witnesses in shock and awe.
"What?! H-how!?" Lancer said as he fell to his knees.
"No way…he tanked it…" A black haired boy said stumped as he looked over a nearby wall.
"Spartans never die, we're just missing in action." The servant said as the weapon dematerialized from his hands before grabbing his weapon off of his back as Vlad starts fading away into mana.
"I…curse you…" He sputtered before finally fading away.
Jeanne alter and her onlookers were shocked that Lancer was taken down just like that while the ones with the armored servant looked on in amazement. The armored Archer looks up at Jeanne alter who was still shocked as she was continuing to gather information on him.
"Even after such an attack he still stands…it must have been one of his personal skills or a Noble Phantasm." Jeanne alter muttered as she continued to see knowledge of this Archer class servant. As she started getting more information on him she started to become shocked by the knowledge of him. He was already capable of superhuman feats on par with the higher end of lower rank servants when he was alive, not to mention he could fight entire armies by himself. What shocked her the most was that he wasn't even born on Earth and was regarded as Humanity's savior. She had to stop to catch her breath due to feeling like she was drowning from all of the information flooding into her brain.
She had thought that she had the advantage due to having numbers on her side, but seeing as it didn't matter against this "John-117" due to one of his personal skills making him stronger when he's outnumbered as well as the fact that one of his noble phantasms is a foreign construct, she would have to retreat and come up with a new strategy to deal with him. But first she should take out her other self and the Human masters.
"Assassin! Use that bloodlust and kill them!" She yells as Assassins eyes glow yellow with bloodlust and vengeance.
"I will avenge my king and bathe in your blood. I, Elizabeth Bathory, otherwise known as Carmella shall extract the very screams from your souls!" Assassin yelled her true name out loud with madness enhancement fueling them.
She then leaps towards Jeanne and the shielder with intense speed but is forced to dodge several shotgun blasts fired from Master Chief. Turning to look at her attacker she was met with the Archer coming towards her with his signature married blades. Chief quickly re-attached the weapon to his back; he grabbed his sword from his leg and lunged towards Carmella faster than he had when fighting Vlad as he activated his sword. Carmella parried Archer's strike before throwing a kick that Archer quickly sidestepped before jumping back to dodge another swipe from her claws.
She then turns to try and block Master Chief's sword but her eyes widened as the sword cut right through her barbed staff with ease. She quickly jumped back to try and dodge it but had to quickly strafe to avoid a stab from his sword. She tried to stab his neck with her claws but was shocked when he grabbed her wrist with his free hand. She then tried to use her other hand to stab him but was met with a powerful roundhouse kick to her gut just as he let go of her wrist sending her tumbling back.
Upon seeing how Assassin wouldn't be able to handle a high ranked servant like Master chief she knew that if he wasn't taken care of soon, He could be a problem later. The Counter Guardian, she can reasonably deal with, The Supersoldier on the other hand was the true concern.
"Assassin unleash your Noble Phantasm and kill them all right now!" She yelled. She hopes that even if they didn't take out that "Master Chief", they should be able to take out most of them and give Saber and Rider a chance to take out the masters.
"I shall feast on your blood and devour your souls!" Carmella declared as mana started to build up around her. Jeanne Jumped back over to Saber and Rider.
"Saber. If they manage to endure Assassin's Noble Phantasm then go in to assist her." Jeanne told Saber before looking back at the Servants Looking concerned.
John POV
"If her Noble Phantasm is what I think it is, then it would be best to get behind Mash." Cortana advised everyone. John trusts Cortana's judgment as it hasn't failed him during missions before.
"Mashu!" Ritsuka calls his servant.
"Right away master." Mashu responded as she got into position.
"Everyone get behind Mashu quickly!" Gudako called out to the servants.
"Blood…blood…oh, Blood! Eternal beauty, and endless banquet…"
And with that both Master Chief and Archer jump back and get behind Mashu just before Jeanne jumps over to them as massive amounts of energy and bloodlust started radiating out from Carmilla as she started to deploy her Noble Phantasm.
"The ugliness of old age shall be cast away till the end of time!"
"Mashu use it!" Ritsuka ordered the Demi-servent as she lifted her shield off the ground.
"Right away." She declared as she was prepared to use her Noble Phantasm.
"Deploying Noble Phantasm!" Mashu raises her shield in front of her.
"PHANTOM MAIDEN!"
Purple fire erupted around them as a giant iron maiden rose from the ground and prepared to close on them.
"LORD CHALDEAS!"
Mashu slammed the bottom of her shield into the ground in front of them and formed a massive blue barrier with a medieval European insignia on it. The doors of the Iron Maiden tried to slam on them but were stopped by Mashu's noble phantasm keeping it held open. After a few seconds the iron maiden faded away just before Mashu shuts down her Noble Phantasm.
"Good job, Mashu!" Ritsuka said to the winded Demi-servant.
"That was close!" Gudako said relieved.
"Not bad kid." Archer said with a small smile as he pat her on the back.
"Thank you Archer." Mashu responded.
"We are alive but we still need to escape and I do not know how we can without a distraction," Jeanne said.
"I know now isn't the best time to tell you but I'm picking up two more servants coming." Cortana said over Gudako's Comm unit.
"What!?" Jeanne said in surprise.
"She has reinforcements coming!?" Ritsuka asked, shocked and starting to panic.
"I wouldn't be too sure, their energy signatures look different from the berserk servants." Cortana informed the masters, confusing them.
"Wait what, why would-" Jeanne was cut off by Carmilla screaming in anger.
"How dare you deny me your blood! I will kill you and feast on your souls" She screamed as she appeared to be losing her mind. Saber was just about to Jump towards The Spartan when a small object landed between them causing them to stop.
"What?" Jeanne alter asked as she stared at the object
"A glass…rose?" Mashu asked confused.
"—It's not elegant. Neither is this city. Neither is that combat style. I don't like your philosophy or principles either." An unknown voice said from a rooftop out of sight. Saber noticeably froze and widened their eyes upon hearing the voice.
"You're so beautiful, yet you shroud yourself in blood and hatred. For good or for evil, shouldn't a human try to be more free?" A girl with pale blond hair and light blue eyes jumps down from a nearby rooftop landing and presenting a smile of elegance. She wore some kind of red dress with an image of a purple flower on the left side of her chest, she also appeared to be wearing a red poofy hat that looked like a strawberry.
"…A Servant?" Jeanne Alter asked with a nervous scowl.
"Yes, that's right. I'm so happy. This is what it means to announce oneself as a hero of justice!" She happily said with a bow. Archer scoffed with a slight smirk at her declaration. She then faces the berserk servants.
"I know who you are. I also know how powerful and terrifying you are. To be honest, I have to confess that I've never trembled in fear more before anyone else. Yet still…If you intend to invade this nation, then I shall face you even if I have to tear apart my dress." She declares before she is interrupted by saber.
"You are…" Saber looked like they were about to say the her true name but looked unsure if they should.
"Oh, so you know my true name. Have we met before, splendid female knight?" The woman smiles causing confusion among some of the servants regarding Saber's gender with the exception of Archer who just snorted upon hearing the woman's question. Jeanne Alter turns to her servant.
"Saber. Who is she?" She asked.
"…"
"Answer me." She ordered.
"I can tell who she is, even with this murderous rage burning in my heart. Her beauty is unmistakable. The girl they called the Flower of Versailles. She is…Marie Antoinette." Saber revealed.
"Queen Marie Antoinette?" Mashu asked in amazement that a queen of France had come to help them.
"That's right! Thank you for saying my name! And as long as that name exists, I will play my role no matter how foolish it may become." Marie said with cheer. She then points towards Jeanne alter.
"You! Dragon Witch who's torching my country. It might be pointless, but I will ask you anyway. Are you evil enough to perform your wicked deeds in my very presence? Will you declare yourself a greater fool than I, the queen who failed to stop the revolution?" She boldly asked the dark saint who seemed to have become irritated.
"Silence! You lack the right to participate in this battle." Jeanne alter said in anger.
"Oh, and why is that?" Marie asked her, causing Jeanne alter to scowl.
"You led a life of luxury in a palace, and died without even knowing what happened. Are you saying you can understand our hatred?" Jeanne alter replied.
"Hmm… I suppose I can't but that just makes me want to know more, Dragon Witch." Marie declared, causing Jeanne to become confused.
"…what?"
"What I don't know, I learn. That's my policy. That's why I can't bear to look at you like this. Oh, Jeanne d'Arc, beloved saint. All I know is that you're taking your rage out on the innocent. And I've not the slightest idea why. Everything's disappearing into a haze, like a girl going for a Sunday walk. I've no words for you. What I do know is this. Along with the Jeanne d'Arc over there. I am going to make your heart and body mine!" She declared causing everyone except Archer and Master Chief who had used the distraction to summon his S7 sniper rifle and was prepared to take out Carmilla the moment they reached an opening.
"Oh, my. Oh dear, oh dear. Um, don't misunderstand me." She said embarrassed about the misunderstanding. "I just meant that as a Queen, I'm going to bring you to your knees." She said causing making the situation worse.
"Is she…really Marie Antoinette? Are we sure she isn't just someone who looks like her?" Cortana asked over the comms dumbfounded by what she just heard.
"…It's falling apart…My image of Marie Antoinette is falling apart…" Dr Romani said facepalming at the current events.
Jeanne Alter, was just starting to get pissed at the current situation happening before them. She then faced the group and started to speak.
"—-Enough of this farce. Very well then, you are my enemy. Servants, first—"
*BANG*
She was interrupted by a shot from Master Chief's sniper rifle that was fired at Carmilla who had the lower half of her left leg blown off as she tried to dodge but was just too late. Saber quickly rushed towards the spartan as he was about to take another shot before Archer tossed his swords at Saber forcing them to stop to deflect the weapons before being met with Archer leaping towards them with a newly created pair. This distraction provided enough time for the spartan to fire another shot that was aimed for Carmilla's head who couldn't get out of its path fast enough due to missing one of her legs resulting in her getting shot in the torso as her body looked like it was almost ripped in half.
"My king…I have failed you…Whether I live or die…I'm always…alone." She said as she faded away in light. Jeanne Alter looked at what had happened and was starting to become visibly nervous as she clenched her fist. Chief then turned and aimed at Jeanne Alter who quickly pulled out her sword as she just barely was able to redirect his shot away from her before quickly jumping out of the way to avoid a second shot.
"I'll kill you all right now!" Jeanne Alter shouted in anger with what sounded like a suppressed hint of panic and fear. As she began building mana around her.
"This is the howl of a—"
She was interrupted by a sword that was thrown her way, forcing her to cancel her Noble Phantasm in order to quickly dodge. She then looked to the culprit to see Archer and was glaring daggers at him.
"Sorry but I'm not just going to stand still and let you use your Noble Phantasm." Archer told the dark saint as Saber lunged at him to try and take advantage of the opening. But before Saber could land a strike on Archer, Mashu was able to get between them and block Saber's attack with her shield before pushing the berserk knight back. Jeanne then lunges at Saber and performs and downward swing with her flagpole and forces Saber to leap away. Archer then jumps up towards them with a new set of swords. Saber quickly parries the swords before going for a stab at Archer's heart. Archer quickly lifts up the sword in his right hand towards the bottom of Saber's rapier. He pushes his sword up as it slides down the blade of the rapier while ducking to avoid getting stabbed. Seeing that their stab was getting redirected, Saber kicks Archer in the gut, knocking him away before landing on the ground just a few meters from Jeanne Alter.
"Alright! It's time for our escape! Thank you for waiting Amadeus. Crush them like bugs!" Marie declared as a man with long blond hair wearing a black outfit with purple accessories appeared from a destroyed alleyway holding what looked like a conductor stick.
"Leave it to me! Noble Phantasm, REQUIEM FOR DEATH!"
With a wave of his baton, a bright light appeared around the enemy pair as glowing bars of music formed around them followed by eight glowing white figures that resembled angels appearing and surrounding the enemy. Half of them were playing violins while the other half were playing a base violin. Releasing a blast of music, the pair were forced to cover their ears. Which distracted created an opening to retreat.
"Let us retreat to the forest for now." Marie says as she summoned a glass horse before picking up Gudako and hopping on the horse.
"Archer, Mashu. Let's get going quickly." Ritsuka said as he started running.
"Yes Senpai." Mashu said as she quickly turned and started running.
"Very well Master." Archer said as he dematerialized his swords before running up to Ritsuka and hoisting the boy over his shoulder.
"Not again!" He whined as Archer started running off while carrying him.
"Jeanne, Master Chief." Gudako said as she looked at them.
"As much as I don't want to, retreating does seem like the best decision for now." Jeanne said as she turned to get going.
"Yes ma'am." Chief said as he dematerialized his sniper rifle and turned around to get with the rest of the group.
"Now then, good day everyone. Au revoir!" Marie declares as she jumped on her horse and started going and exited the city. Marie seemed disappointed about something but that was irrelevant.
"We should head back to the leyline from earlier, we can discuss our next step and set up a proper base camp." Cortana said over everyone's comms and as they reached a grassy field.
"Uugh…Sure thing Cortana. Archer seems to think it's a good ugh…Idea." Ritsuka weakly responded over the comms.
"That does seem like the best plan." Dr. Romani responded.
At the Leyline…
Upon arriving at the location they all seemed to relax. Gudako and Marie got off of the glass horse before it dematerialized. The spot Archer leaning against a nearby tree with his arms crossed while Ritsuka is on the ground and whining about something as Mashu and Fou try to comfort him. Gudako then walks up to Master Chief as Marie goes to discuss something with Amadeus.
"Are you okay Master Chief-sama? You took a hit from Dracula's Noble Phantasm." She asked, looking very concerned about him. Jeanne then walks up behind her.
"I'm fine." He responded.
"Are you sure? Most servants don't just survive a direct hit from a Noble Phantasm like that and come out unhurt." Jeanne asked before Cortana Materialized a little off to the right in front of the spartan.
"Don't worry too much, he survived a fall from orbit in his old GEN 1 armor and was back up and fighting just a few minutes later. And that armor was nowhere near as durable as the armor that he's using as a Noble Phantasm let alone one that's A- Rank." Cortana told them, making their jaws drop in amazement.
"Are you serious? How?" Gudako frantically asked in a state of shock.
"A damaged piece of metal that was blown off the hull of a ship may have been responsible for protecting him from re-entry, but his armor was responsible for the final impact." Cortana told them.
"That's amazing." Jeanne said in astonishment.
"Even if his Noble Phantasm could get past Chief's armor, he has a skill that allows him to instantly recover from mortal wounds once during a fight." Cortana explained.
"I guess that's a huge relief." Gudako sighed.
"It's refreshing to know that a servant as strong as you is on our side." Jeanne said as she reached behind her waste and pulled out Chief's combat knife.
"You dropped this during your fight with Dracula." She told him as she handed the knife to the spartan.
"Thanks." He replied as he grabbed it and made it dematerialize.
Just as he was about to turn around to go patrol the perimeter he notices Marie running up to them along with Amadeus.
"Do you need something, your majesty?" He asked the queen who has stopped next to the saint.
"The way you address me makes me happy, Monsieur Master Chief. I would like to properly introduce myself once more, only with less queen like authority and more servant talk." She says as she does a courtesy bow.
"My True Name is Marie Antoinette. I'm from the Rider Class. As for why I was summoned, unfortunately, I have no idea. After all, I have no Master." She said gesturing Amadeus to introduce himself.
"Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I'm the same as her. As for why I was summoned, first of all, it just doesn't feel like I'm a hero. Yes I'm great, but even so, I'm still just one of many artists…" he said.
"You don't give yourself enough credit, your compositions are considered pinnacles of their music category and you're recognized as one of the greatest and most influential composers in the history of western music." Cortana told him.
"Well, I did apply magecraft in my music, but that was only because I was drawn to the sounds played by demons." He said with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Well Nice to meet you, I'm Gudako Fujimaru, this is my servant Master Chief. He's an Archer class servant." Gudako said to the musician.
"Pleasure to meet you. I'm one of Chief's Noble Phantasms. I was originally created by the UNSC in 2549 as the 3rd generation smart AI serial number CTN 0452-9, call me Cortana. I was Chief's partner during his life and assisted him via information gathering and logistical support on the battlefield.
"The pleasure is mine. As fellow non-fighters, let's get along." Mozart said with a reassuring smile.
"Jeanne. Jeanne d'Arc, yes? The saint who saved France. One of the people I wished to meet in my life." Marie happily said to the saint.
"…I'm, not a saint." Jeanne responded while looking flustered.
"Yes, Everyone knows that's how you saw yourself. But the way you lead your life was. True, and we all know the results. That's why everyone will always remember and admire the name Jeanne d'Arc, and the miracle of Orleans." Marie told her with a bright smile, causing Jeanne to become even more flustered.
"Of course, your life ended at the stake and resulted in that witch. It's just like Maria to only look at the good parts. Am I wrong. Jeanne d'Arc? Your life was a little out of tune. Jeanne herself is the one who gets hurt when people call her a perfect saint." Mozart told Jeanne before turning to Marie.
"Listen, Maria. You always say what you think others want to hear. Sometimes you need to scold or deny others." He told the french queen, making her flustered.
"I-I don't need to hear that from you, Amadeus! You already tell me that every day! T-This is what you want, right? You piano-brain! Piece of human garbage! You're a pervert who can only get it up for musical scales! If you like music so much, you should turn into a piano!" She frantically said to him while embarrassed, causing said musician playfully smirk.
"…I don't know if I should say this, but when you insult me like that, I feel something indescribable. But see? You can do it if you try! Give the same treatment to Jeanne." He told her with a happy expression before shifting to a more serious one before continuing.
"Faster. Stronger. More Violent! Tell her all of her flaws as you see them!" He told her.
"Non, that's impossible Amadeus. Human garbage like you has nothing but flaws. But Jeanne herself has none." Marie boldly declared.
"She really did love Jeanne d'Arc didn't she?" Cortana asked.
"I know. I didn't know she had it that bad." Mozart responded.
"I would say 'worship' rather than love. And a bit of guilt, as well. A tiny 'sorry', the size of a teaspoon. The natural guilt we foolish royals feel towards the Saint." Marie said in a small somber tone.
"…Marie Antoinette. Your words honor me, but that's why I must confess. In life I was no Saint. I held the flag high for what I believed in, and as a result, I stained my hands with blood." Jeanne lamented.
"…Of course, I don't regret that. Nor do I regret the Inquisition—Or my own death. But I shed too much blood. I believed in the dreams of a little country girl, but…at the time, I never imagined how high the price of that dream was. I never regretted it, but never did I feel fear…and that is my greatest sin. Only the outcome of my actions made me a saint. I do not think it's the right word for a country girl like me." The saint finished.
"No one is perfect, we're only human. You fought for what you thought was right and as a result, became a beacon of hope. It doesn't matter how much praise we receive for our actions or how much we are admired. Even if we become hated by the people we fight to protect, we continue to fight and fulfill our duty. At the end of the day we're just soldiers doing our duty to protect the people no matter the cost." The Spartan told the saint, making everyone look at him.
"Thank you for your understanding, Master Chief. You say that like you speak from experience." She said with a small smile.
"That's because he does speak from experience." Cortana told her.
"…I see. So she's not a saint." Marie says before turning to Jeanne. "If that is the case, then may I call you Jeanne?" She asked.
"…yes. Of course. It feels like that would bring back old memories." Jeanne told Marie.
"Wonderful. Call me Marie, then. If you're simply Jeanne, a soldier, and not a saint, then I want to be Marie, a servant, and not a queen. Please Jeanne, will you call me Marie?" Marie asked the saint.
"Y-yes. All right… Thank you, Marie. And thank you Chief." Jeanne thanked the former French queen.
"Thank you too. I am happy, Jeanne!" Marie said.
"Now that that's said and done, can we move onto something else?" Mozart asked.
"Back during the fight, that other Jeanne looked unsettled about something." Gudako pointed out.
"If what she said is true about me being her 'discarded self', it's possible that she possesses the True Name Revelation skill." Jeanne said.
"What exactly does this skill do?" Gudako asked.
"It's a skill that allows the user to reveal information on the identity, skills, and Parameters of another servant." Jeanne explained.
"If that's the case then she must have used it on Chief." Cortana put it together.
"Won't that be a bad thing?" Gudako asked Cortana.
"Some ways it is, but I'm guessing if the skills user isn't familiar with the servant's true name, the skill will also allow the user to see the servant's history. Considering Chief's history she really won't like what she sees if she decides to look further." Cortana explained.
"Why?" Gudako asked
"Get the others, once I explain the time period and Chief's history then you will know why." Cortana told her.
"Okay." She said before turning to go get the other's
Elsewhere…
Jeanne Alter POV
Jeanne alter sat on her throne with her right hand resting on her temple. She had many Berserk servants in her ranks but she just lost two of them and was almost killed herself. That armored Archer, that 'Master Chief' of Chaldea, She had underestimated him. He was an Unknown and unforeseen variable.
"If only he wasn't there then perhaps my Lancer and Assassin would still be alive. This does complicate things in the future." She thought to herself
"From what I could make out from when I used my ruler abilities earlier, one of his titles is 'Savior of Humanity'. Just what did he have to fight to gain such a title. Who is he…?" Jeanne thought as she attempts to use the skill again as she was bombarded with images and voices.
…
"Humans, your destruction is the will of the gods. And we are their instrument."
…
"I…I am the monument to all your sins."
…
"The Flood consumes all."
…
"Your prophets have promised you freedom from a doomed existence. But you will find no salvation on this ring."
…
"This ring, it's Forerunner."
"If Halo is a weapon they'll use it against us and wipe out the entire human race."
"Will wipe the galaxy clean of all sentient life."
…
"Those Who Built this place knew what they wrought, do not mistake their intent, as all will perish as they did before."
…
"You are, all of you, vermin. Cowering in the dirt, thinking what, I wonder?"
"BEAR YOUR FANGS SPARTAN!"
"That you might escape the coming fire?"
"FIGHT ON!"
"No. Your world will burn until its surface is but glass!"
"Die Well."
…
"*GASP*" She felt like she was being drowned by what she experienced. She understood that he held a sense of duty similar to her discarded self but she didn't understand why until just now.
He had fought threats that were alien in origin and saved all of humanity from total extinction. And he did almost all of it without the aid of the Counter Force.
AN:
Let's go over the changed events in this chapter.
Cortana would be able to point out the Ley line location earlier than they would in Canon.
I Chose to summon Archer EMIYA as the servant that they summon due to him being from the previous singularity along with how he could interact with the other characters.
As for Carmilla and Dracula not surviving. Chief could easily take Dracula off guard. That and the railgun in halo is basically a hand-held micro MAC gun.
As for Chief surviving Dracula's Noble Phantasm, I checked and at most His Noble Phantasm is B to B+ rank and Chief's armor is higher rank plus his energy shields being part of the armor.
Now as for Carmilla not surviving. Master Chief obviously wouldn't just let a potential threat like her leave the encounter alive when he could take her out. Obviously with Carmilla's death some of the events later on will happen very differently.
When I remembered that the main group met Marie and Mozart after the first encounter with Jalter, I decided to hold off Cortana explaining Chief's history until the start of the next chapter because this chapter is long enough as it is.
I am thinking about writing a Devil May Cry crossover with Re:Zero or Highschool DXD some time in the future as I feel like I would have an easier time writing someone like Dante.
Here is the updates to the servant profile:
Personal Skills:
Hyper Lethal vector A: John-117 was the first Spartan designated by the UNSC as hyper lethal due to his Efficient behavior, skill, and effectiveness on the battlefield allowing him to take on whole armies by himself for a limited time. (His Parameters increase whenever he is outnumbered or when facing something with the trait of 'Threat to Humanity'. He also can possess near expert level skill with any weapon he uses however any Noble Phantasm that surpases C-rank is forcefully reduced in rank and npn-Noble Phantasm weapons do not become Noble Phantasms.)
Noble Phantasms:
Mjolnir Armor A- — type: Anti-Unit(self)
The Master Chief's Armor, Which greatly multiplies his strength, agility, and reflexes as well as increase his defensive capabilities via the armor's energy shields, grants him extreme temperature resistance due to the armor's gel layer, a motion tracker, as well as any UNSC armor abilities or enhancements he has used. Blocks any Noble Phantasm ranked B+ or lower.
Pillar of Autumn A — type: Anti-fortress/Anti-army
Utilizes the halcyon class light-cruiser: Pillar of Autumn, making its reactor go critical then detonating after a short period of time. Requires the Pillar of Autumn to actually be summoned first. (AKA Captain Jacob Keyes has to be summoned as a servant and summon the ship first and can only be used as a broken phantasm).
