Russell was checking his weapons, and so far everything was fine. Looking at Karla and Blaire, he notes that they seem to be busy checking their stats. Deciding to do the same, he summons his stats sheet.

The Rebel
Description: It takes balls to bitch slap a king. You have gained resistance to gamers and beings with higher authorities granting you free rein over your actions. Additional damages to the major characters and Gamers. Warning any beings with an influential position will display hostility upon seeing you.
The beast read each title and only wondered if he could steal Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon now with those. He was also wary of the Gamer in this world. Why did he or she blocked off the world from the rest? He could understand if it was to keep herself safe, but it made them a bigger target.
Then they started hearing a faint voice. It was from a little girl. When they found the source, just watching it send them over the edge.
A girl no older than five or six. She had purple hair and dull eyes. She was devoid of any emotion, yet somewhere beneath those empty eyes, there was still a hint of hope. The horrible thing was that millions of worms were digging their way into her.
"Oh god..." Beauty/166 said in horror while watching made way into the child's womb. Bright had covered his siblings' vision while the doctor had a dark look. Blaire had her mouth open and Karla was at the edge of activating her Removal.
However, the biggest reaction was from Russell and Silver. Silver had lost his mischievous aura while Russell's Limitless Demon was flickering on and off. Russell knew Sakura's past was dark, but he never thought it was this bad. Silver had only had a rundown about the girl, but seeing this, he was going to erase the son-of-a-bitch!
"Russell..." Silver called, earning a look from his friend. "We're saving this kid." The immortal said. The beast nods as the group noticed something heading towards them.
"Who are they?" Bright said readying his chainsaw cannon courtesy of Silver.
"Counter guardians, looks like Alaya doesn't want us meddling," Russell said, summoning his weapons. "Get ready."
"You mean to tell me a goddess doesn't want us saving a kid!?" Blaire said in disbelief when she earned a nod, Blaire's features became demonic then again who wouldn't after seeing that?
"Yep, to her, we're nothing more than a virus."

Well, what do you know? Looks like his power has a heart. "Will do Gamer." He said. "Yo Silver."
"I know. I saw it." The immortal begin to amp their speed as they raced to the finish line.
"Beauty, Tj, Sarah stay in the center. Blaire... Bright, you give us support. Karla guard them. Silver and I will clear a path."
DMC: Devil May Cry - Tic Tac (Gotta Go) Battle Theme
As soon as the first guardian landed Russell bisects his enemy and shoots the other one with Warden. The charged bullet bounced off to another one and then to the next until a shield stopped it. Swarms of counter guardians appeared, Russell clicks his tongue before biting his gun and brings out Sword of Rebellion and Emperor: Spear mode.
Charging towards the first target, he bisects the guardian and skewers the second and third. Ki Blades rained down, but some got past him, switching to Emperor: Heavy Rain. The weapon releases a horde of missiles and bullets.
As if it wasn't enough, Russell's eyes glowed. "Strong Force..." He muttered as a small yellowish orb appeared around them. "... Weak Force..."
The orbs became unstable, releasing a pulse of energy. The guardians who noticed it ran, but it was too late.
"Nuclear Force."
Bright suns formed and explode and consumed the guardians in flames. Russell was careful not to create a wormhole or destabilize their path. When it was over Silver increases their speed once more.
Bright was firing his chainsaw cannon and mowing down any unfortunate agents.
One agent got through and stabbed Bright in his head. "BROTHER!" The two brights yelled only to see the body turn to dust and a new one to take place. "Well, that was an experience." The doctor then offs the agent before getting up.
Silver looks around and realized they surrounded him. The trickster began humming before pulling out...
"... Is that a frying pan?" One counter guardian asked in confusion. "Who knows?" Silver said, checking his weapon of choice.
His opponents turn to each other before charging towards the mischievous fool. Silver grins before dodging their spells and attacks. "Oh, miss me. So close. You know how to use that right?" He taunted.
Finding his chance, Silver quickly throws his frying pan towards his first target before teleporting behind him and knocks him out. His second opponent threw a thrust with his spear only for Silver to swap places with another counter guardian before pushing two off.
"Don't forget to write~" He said before turning around and saw more agents. Shrugging, he makes a come at me motion. The guardians rush in, Silver's frying pan blocked the first attack, the immortal Mischievous God knocks his opponent by slamming his weapon to the guardian's head.
When one tried to behead him, he ducks and trips his attacker before again knocking the agent out. Deflecting a spear, Silver swings his frying pan again. Blocking a sword, he brings his weapon down to the collarbone. Another tried attacking him, but Silver slides to the right and smashed the frying pan to a huge agent.
By the time he's done, a lot of the guardians had missing teeth. "I'm so keeping you." He said looking at the frying pan.
Blaire kept on throwing her pumpkin bombs until one sneaks behind Bright killed the agent. "Thanks, nya~" Blaire said while the doctor brings his glass up.
The magical cat rushes in when she saw Beauty, Tj, and Sarah were being surrounded. Transforming into her cat form, she dropkicks the first agent before bouncing off to another. She scratches the next with her cat claws before transforming back to human form and creates a large Jack-o'-lantern and released condensed flame.
Karla breaks the neck of one counter guardian before shooting a demonic fireball to an archer. When two tried to take her down she jumps and slams the two to each other. When another servant of Alaya shots her with a bullet to the head. Karla stumbles, her upper body bending before rising back up and reveals she caught in between her teeth.
She then spits out before killing the guardian with her summons.
Bright gunned down anything that came on their way with the chainsaw cannon.
The group kept on killing anyone that would stop them until finally, their world became bright.
Ost End
Matou Household
How long had she been in the pit? How long had she been screaming since her training began? How many days had passed when her family sold her? No, grandfather told her to forget about them.
Yet even though she had given into this life, somewhere deep in her hoped that someone would save her.
Zouken who had watched the young girl grinned. Someone worthy to become a vessel to the black grail.
However, to his surprise, a magical circle appeared in the air. His eyes widen when recognizing the form, a summoning circle. Even stranger was that cracks appeared in the air as if something was making its way into existence.
What Zouken didn't know was that the cracks and magical were Alaya's last-ditch effort to stop an abomination and the trespassers.
Sakura didn't know whether she was dying or dreaming as she can saw a mirage of the man in red.
"Do you want to be free?"
Sakura would have shaken her head, but the worms prevented that. Instead, she can only stare. There was no escaping grandfather.
"Do you believe that? Do you believe there's no salvation for you?"
The young girl blinked. Can she believe he can save her? Someone tainted as her? Ah, she must be dreaming.
"If salvation is what thee seek, grasp with thy own two hands. Conquer thy conquerors, englut the predators, defy the oppressors! If 't be true, thee wish to beest free, then seize thy destiny. Bare thy fangs, sharpen thy claws."
The man in red switched forms while offering a hand. Sakura's dull eyes slightly gained life and grasped it.
More cracks began appearing until taking the form of a smiling devil. Finally, the magical circle shatters as a cloud of smoke engulfed the basement.
When it cleared Zouken saw eight people all posing and frankly, he would admit it was flashy yet menacing. All eyes stared right at him.
Sakura looked around and realized the man in red was carrying her like a princess. She held a slight wince before seeing a tattoo on her hand. Bright also winced before finding his hand had a tattoo, but quickly focused back to the piece of shit in front.
"My, my to think the brat managed to-" Blaire silenced the worm by obliterating the head only to reveal his entire body comprised worms. "Try all you want, but you're just wasting your strength."
"Disgusting," Karla said. "You're not the only one, Karla," Blaire said while readying another pumpkin.
Silver raises a barrier while Russell used Sorcerer to create magical chains to bind the Matou.
Zouken grinned before his eyes widened and realized couldn't move or control his worms. "Sit still."
"You're not the only one, Karla," Blaire said while readying another pumpkin.
"Now then, Zouken, you seem to think we can't kill you however that's wrong," Russell said while handing Sakura to Bright. "We can kill you, it's just that we have something else in mind. Silver fix Sakura, I'll keep an eye this guy. Blair, burn the worms. Karla takes Tj, Sarah, and Beauty upstairs. Be careful."
"On it."
Silver quickly makes a new body for Sakura, using her old body as a blueprint for placing and making the circuits and od. He improves them into EX rank.
Zouken dropped his jaws. To think he would find a first magic-user in this era and a servant no less. Any knowledge this servant had would raise his family back and finally achieving his greatest wish.
Blaire bombarded the worm pit with her pumpkin bombs, which had hell flames inside. The worm could feel his connection to the worms slowly dying, but he wasn't worried about it.
Russell knew what the worm was thinking, and if he remembered correctly, Zouken was one person involved in creating the Grail, the other two were the Tohsaka and Einzbern. Which meant he had a way of controlling servants or taking away the command seals.
"Oh no, you don't you piece of shit."
Using Pandora Russell snatches every information regarding the holy grail and the servants. He wasn't yet next, was snatching memories of Zouken's familiar. He had spread the crest of worms around the city to ensure his survival.
Another disgusting thing was that he had placed a piece of himself inside Sakura, luckily it hadn't fully merge with her soul otherwise they would have a problem.
Silver was about to place Sakura's soul when Russell stopped him. "Is there something wrong?" He asked. "Yeah, looks like Zouken placed a piece of himself into Sakura," Russell answered, earning the Matou a glare from everyone.
He's knowledge about what the worm did surprised Zouken. "Don't act surprised, your not the only one who knows how to snatch bodies and souls." Russell then looks at Sakura and his anger intensified. The worm that held Zouken's soul was inside Sakura's womb.
"Pandora," Russell said before placing his hand on Sakura before pulling hard. "Got ya." He said before Bright gave him a glass jar to place the worm in. Silver quickly places Sakura's soul into her new body before Bright carried her upstairs.
"So what now?" Silver asked, looking at the worm. "First let's get rid of this one." Russell immediately grabs Zouken. "Absolute Zero." He muttered.
Silver watched as the Matou screamed in pain while the worm inside the Jar writhed in agony. "If you think this is over, boy..." Zouken growled.
"It's not over old man we're just starting, and in case you haven't noticed your worms are all dead except this one."
Zouken was about to call out his lie when he felt his worms dying one by one. "What have you done!?" He yelled in fear.
"Let's just say immortality and fantasy don't mix well with empty."
Zouken's 'body' then turned to dust before Russell focuses back on the worm.
"Well, that was anti-climatic." Silver said. "I was thinking of torturing the guy." He said.
"Physical torture will only torment you with this person," Russell said. As the Butcher, he had plenty of experience on how to bring pain physically. Mentally was more lethal if used correctly.
"So what are you going to do? Dump him in hell in Doom? Send him to the SCP?"
"Ha, as if, no, no. I have something better."
When Zouken woke up he laughed. Ha, the boy must have missed one of his worms. He vowed to have his vengeance, but for now; he needed a vessel. When he tried to move, he couldn't. Several more times he tried, but the result ended the same. Then it clicked as a person entered, Zouken screams yet the person nor anyone can hear him.
Upon the roof, Russell and Silver looked at the dirtiest comfort room and left.
"I don't know whether I should feel sorry or terrified." Silver muttered while shivering. Not even he had thought of that.
"He was a worm and a parasite now get's to eat and live like one," Russell said before heading back.
"Yeah but I think it's too much. Seriously, making him live the rest of his life a toilet is horrible. Did you have to leave his five senses ?"
Russell shrugged. "It'll wear off about a thousand-ish..."
Silver shakes his head. "Well, at least we made it in time. So are you going to summon a servant?" He asked.
"Later, for now, let's head back to the hotel," Russell said while looking at the news of the Matou household burning to the ground. The only survivor being Shinji Matou with no memory of his past.
Russell had taken the kid's memories in hopes it might change his fate. Kid Shinji had a pass in his book, since he had yet to commit any crimes.
Bright had been monitoring Sakura's mental state. He would have had his brother heal her, but he didn't want to risk it, Russell had warned him of this world not liking anomalies and Sakura was like a detector for the world to track them. Looking at Sakura, he sighed. The poor child didn't deserve any of that torture.
"Is she alright?" Blaire asked the doctor.
"Physically I can't anything wrong, Silver did a good job." He said. "Mentally? I have no idea." He said.
"I can't believe someone would treat someone like this," Karla said. "I hope Russell and Silver give that rotten bastard what he deserves," Karla said while the two agreed. Bright might have lost some screws, but he still had his morals.
"How's Tj and Sarah?" He asked. "They're fine, a bit scared, but fine. Beauty is keeping them distracted." Karla answered.
A portal opens up as Russell and Silver walk through. "Hey, guys." The Beast said. "Sorry about what happened back there."
Bright shook his head. "It's fine, there's nothing you can do about it. They pressed us on time." He said.
"So what now?" Blaire asked.
"For now, I'll wait for Sakura to recover looks like the Grail War hasn't started yet so we have time to prepare and relax."
Blaire nodded and went to Sakura's side, stroking her hair fondly. Hearing a knock, they all tensed before Silver opens it and found a box and letter waiting to be picked up. Curious, the immortal checked it with any traps.
When there wasn't the Fool then bring it inside. "Well, what is it?" Karla asked. "No idea." Silver said before handing it to Russell, who used Observe to detect anything but found none.
"What does the letter say?" Karla asked.
"A present in hopes of you making this entertaining. Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg..."
Russell blinks as he holds the package before looking at it in caution. Zelretch was a well known dead apostle or vampire, an interdimensional traveler who enjoys pulling pranks and fucking up timelines.
Placing the box for later, Russell steps back away slowly before looking back at his allies.
"Is there anything else?" The Beast asked.
"Nope, that's all."
"Okay according to Zouken's memories we have about two or three weeks. Silver, slow the masters from getting their catalyst. Blaire, Karla scout the city for any good spots we can use to hide. Bright keep an eye on Sakura."
"What are you going to do?" Bright asked.
Russell grins as he opens his Dungeon. "Grinding." He said before entering.
