DAY 5

After arresting all the known thieves two days ago, Nero spent the rest of that day, and the day after, hard at work. With Chaldea's help, they managed to make some good progress in fortifying the capital, and boosting morale amongst the populace. During this time, the Servants that remained in Chaldea like Artoria and Cú, and those on the field like Vlad, Siegfried, Jeanne and Nobunaga, would give the two Masters some advice on military strategies to help them prepare for their new roles. As a sign of good faith and trust, Siegfried reached out to Burrus, and asked the prefect if he would like to give advice to the two teens as well, of which the man accepted. It was now the fifth day in this Singularity, and Nero asked everyone to take the day off to unwind. Three hours have passed since then, and yet Tatsuko and Nobunaga were on their way to speak to the emperor about a request.

"Thanks for coming with me, Nobu." Tatsuko said.

Nobunaga shrugged. "No problem."

"Well, judging by what we were told, this is where Nero should be." Tatsuko said as they stopped in their tracks. In front of them were two giant doors made of oak. The two of them pushed the doors open, only for their eyes to widen in surprise at the scene in front of them. Men and women were fucking passionately, the two of them looked around and saw a man fuck a woman in her pussy while she sucked on another man's cock. Another woman was on her knees, ferociously and passionately sucking a man's cock. In the corner of the room, two women were with a man. One was riding him as the other sat on his face, moaning in pleasure as he dove his tongue into her folds. The two women could not contain their lust anymore, and kissed each other as they bucked their hips on the man beneath them.

The two Chaldeans turned their heads and saw two women kissing passionately as they grind their hips together, causing Tatsuko to blush heavily, much to Nobunaga's amusement. The two of them tore their eyes from that sight, and turned to see one of the more…..carnal scenes they have witnessed. One girl was being fucked vigorously and enthusiastically in her pussy and ass by two men, with her meeting their thrusts with just as much enthusiasm, her moans muffled as her head was between the legs of none other than Nero. The naked emperor moaned passionately as the girl continued to eat her lower lips. Nero gently tugged on the girl's hair and began bucking her hips to meet her lover's tongue, and the girl proceeded to grab Nero's buttocks, wanting to drive her tongue deeper in the emperor's loins and taste her release. The female Master and Nobuanaga watched as Nero, the girl, and the two men climaxed, while Nero held the girl's head in place as she came. Nero sighed in bliss as she slowly rode out her orgasm until she finished completely.

The emperor released her grip on the girl's head as the men who fucked her pulled out. Nero and the girl looked and smiled at each other before sharing a tender, passionate kiss. The two lovers seemed to adjust positions, with the silver haired girl now spreading her legs, and Nero preparing to eat her out. One of the men positioned himself under the emperor, while the other positioned himself atop her, and lined their cocks to her holes. Just as Nero was about to taste the woman's lower lips, she glimpsed Tatsuko and Nobunaga with the corner of her eye and stopped. She put a hand up to the two men, telling them to halt. The two men got up and stood to the side, but not before the emperor gave them both a loving kiss. She then turned to the silver haired girl with an apologetic expression.

"I need to go talk to them for a bit." She said. "I will be back."

The silver haired girl flashed a warm smile. Her left hand snaked around the emperor's hip while her right fondled her breast. "Do you promise, my dear emperor?"

"Umu, I promise." Nero said. The two girls shared a loving kiss, before breaking away to let Nero speak to the two visitors. The emperor walked carefully towards them, taking care not to disturb the others from their passionate lovemaking. The moment she was in range of the two Chaldeans, she smiled at them and stopped in her tracks.

"I see you have made your way to my love nest." She said. "I assume you both would like to partake? I know you only prefer women Tatsuko, and I know just the girls who were dying to meet you. I know they would love to-"

"I appreciate the offer, but that's not why we're here." Tatsuko said gently. "You see Twig Boy, Mashu and I were about to go sightseeing around the capital, and we were hoping if you would join us."

Nero smiled and nodded. "Umu, that is a splendid idea! Just let me clean myself up and get dressed and I will meet you three in the throne room."

"But what about your-"

"I'll explain it to them." Nero replied. "They would understand."

"Oh, okay then. I'll see you in the throne room then."

Nero nodded and walked back towards her lovers to explain the situation. As she did so, Tatsuko and Nobunaga closed the doors. The two Chaldeans stepped back and looked at each other, causing Nobunaga to laugh.

"Nero sure knows how to unwind!" Nobunaga said.

"Well I for one did not need to see any of that." Tatsuko replied.

Nobunaga raised an eyebrow. "Really? Well color me surprised, I'd have thought you'd have taken Nero's offer."

Tatsuko looked away from Nobunaga, and down towards her body to not meet her gaze. The black haired Servant stared at her curiously for a moment before she saw the discomfort in Tatsuko's eyes. Nobunaga then shrugged, whatever was eating at the female Master, it was none of her business.

"I'm going to find Siegfried and Vlad to go over some plans with Nero's soldiers."

Tatsuko snapped back to reality and nodded. "Okay, good luck."

Nobunaga grinned. "Ditto for you!"

The black haired Servant turned away from Tatsuko and walked in the opposite direction. The female Master sighed before turning around to reach the throne room and wait for Nero to finish getting ready.

(One hour later)

"Senpai, this food is delicious! Would you like to try some?"

Ritsuka nodded. "Sure. In fact, I'll eat it while we continue looking around."

Mashu nodded back and handed him some of the food that Nero bought at the stall. The male Master took a small bite and his eyes widened at the delectable taste. Not a moment later, the Chaldean Trio and Nero continued their walk around the capital. During this time, Ritsuka and Tatsuko talked amongst themselves, leaving Nero and Mashu to converse to themselves.

"So, what do you think of Rome so far, Mashu?" Nero asked.

"It is amazing." Mashu answered. "I hope to experience many wonderful things here."

Nero grinned pridefully. "Umu, I like your attitude. This city is indeed the splendor of the world, the crown jewel of the gods!"

Mashu stared at Nero curiously. "Emperor Nero, is it alright if I ask you a question?"

"Of course!"

"What do you think Rome is?" Mashu asked.

"That is a good question." Nero said with a smile. "I am Rome, and Rome is me!"

Mashu tilted her head quizzically. "I do not understand. Can you explain it to me?"

"It is quite simple." Nero said. "You see, since I am the emperor, that means that I am Rome. But Rome is also me, because Rome loves its subjects."

Mashu shook her head. "I apologize, I still do not understand."

Nero opened her mouth to explain further, but the sound of a horn cut her off. Everyone stopped their conversations as they stared into the direction of the sound, only for Nero to narrow her eyes.

That was an alarm. Something was happening in the west.

"Your eminence!"

The Chaldean Trio and Nero saw a soldier run towards them as fast as his legs could carry. The moment he was in the distance he stopped to catch his breath before returning his gaze upon them. "My emperor, the United Empire is preparing another attack!"

"But we haven't even finished our preparations!" Tatsuko shouted.

"Is there more?" Nero asked. "Something has you spooked."

The soldier froze for a moment, before taking a deep breath to calm down. "It is hard to explain. It would be better if you see it for yourself."

Nero nodded before turning to the Chaldean Trio. "Get your group ready for battle, if the United Empire wishes to take this city, then they are sorely mistaken!"

The Trio nodded and ran with Nero and the soldier while calling for their Servants. With any luck, they would reach the area before the enemy started their attack.

It was only a fifteen minute run to the destination, but the Trio and Nero saw that the other Chaldean Servants already beat them there. Like Mashu, they were already out of their togas and in their original attire for better maneuverability. The Trio noted their stern gazes, and felt a sense of unease within them.

"What's wrong?" Ritsuka asked.

Nobunaga turned to face them with a serious expression, whatever it was, it was definitely not good.

"Looks like we have an old friend leading them this time." She said.

"An old friend?" Mashu asked. "But who?"

"See for yourself."

The Trio and Nero stepped closer to them until they could see the enemy on the horizon. The Trio widened their eyes in surprise as they saw a familiar imposing figure on the front lines, it was obvious he was the one leading them.

"Hey, isn't that Takeda Darius?" Tatsuko asked. "You know, the guy that only roared?"

"Yep." Nobunaga answered. "But the real question is who this guy really is."

"He is Darius III." Jeanne answered back.

"Darius III….If I remember correctly he was the king of Persia that surrendered to Alexander the Great." Ritsuka said.

Jeanne nodded. "And like the last time you saw him, he is a Berserker-Class Servant, so like last time, negotiations are impossible."

"Negotiations? He's leading the enemy forces trying to take my city!" Nero said. "There should be no room for that!"

Darius unleashed a loud roar, causing the Chaldean Servants to grip their weapons out of instinct. Tatsuko looked at the Berserker in front of her and grinned. She turned on her communicator and stared at Roman with mischief. "Hey, is Medusa in the room?"

"No, but I can….oh, well speak of the devil, she just came in!" Roman said. "I'll put her on now."

Not a second later, Medusa stood before the female Master over the comms. "What is going on over there?"

Nobunaga chuckled evilly. "Guess who we found."

Tatsuko turned the device around to give the Rider a view of who they saw. The Rider then looked back at the two of them with an unamused glare. "This isn't funny…."

Darius roared once more, but this time the Chaldeans did not react. Tatsuko looked back at Medusa with an evil grin. Medusa saw this and knew what she was about to say. The Rider then shook her head in denial. "I refuse."

Ritsuka looked at the female Master with annoyance. "Tatsuko, knock it off!"

"But we could be missing some vital information." Tatsuko said.

Darius roared again, causing Tatsuko to look at Medusa once more. The Rider looked at the Berserker, then back to the female Master and sighed. She really had no choice in the matter after all…..

"In the name of the United Empire, I am here to conquer your city, Roman emperor. You stand no chance against my army." Medusa replied. "So Darius says…"

"Well that will never happen!" Nero shouted. "You men of the United Empire will run for your lives like you always did before!"

Darius roared again, but this time Medusa raised an eyebrow. "There won't be a need to run anymore…so Darius says."

Ritsuka raised an eyebrow at the statement. Why would they not need to run now? Did they not care about their…lives….

Ritsuka's eyes widened and looked at the communicator. "Roman, can you make a quick scan on the enemy soldiers? I need to be sure of something."

Roman did as asked. After several tense moments, the doctor was taken aback by the results. "What in the world? There are…..no signs of life….."

Nobunaga heard this and narrowed her eyes. She then looked towards the opposing army to see what trickery this could be. Her eyes then widened as she saw that this was no trick, and was much worse than she imagined. She could see the decomposing flesh of the footsoldiers of the enemy army, their soulless, milky eyes showed no hint of emotion. She then noticed a familiar soldier amongst them, one of the ones that ran away when they first arrived, and this told her all she needed to know.

"They're not alive." She said. "They've become the walking dead…."

"It would seem that they must have a necromancer then." Siegfried said. "And judging by their numbers, they're quite talented."

A gasp could be heard over the comms, and the group saw Iris rush into view with a frantic look in her eyes.

"Lev is a specialist in necromancy!" She shouted. "This has to be his doing!"

"And what's worse is that I see some soldiers from our first encounter." Nobunaga said. "Looks like Lev isn't a very forgiving boss."

Ritsuka's eyes narrowed as he clenched his fists. The male Master shook as he stared at the undead army before him.

"As if what he did to Olga wasn't bad enough." Ritsuka growled. "Now he disrespects the men under his command by turning them into lifeless husks…"

Everyone looked at the male Master, and a chill ran up their spines. The look on his face was obvious to them all. The Chaldeans never thought they would ever see him like this.

Ritsuka was absolutely furious.

"Senpai?"

Ritsuka turned to see Mashu's concerned expression. The male Master took a deep breath, and turned to Liz and Vlad. "Can you two take care of the undead Roman soldiers on your own?"

"Yes." Vlad said.

Ritsuka nodded then turned to Nobunaga. "You faced him before. Do you have a good grasp at how he fights now?"

Nobunaga nodded. "I can handle him alone."

And with that, the three Servants rushed to their tasks. Ritsuka then turned to the others with a calmer expression. "Siegfried and Sanson, if Vlad and Liz start struggling, then it's up to you both to help them out."

"What about me?" Mashu asked.

"If Nobu starts getting overwhelmed, you are her only hope." Tatsuko said. "As for you Jeanne, we're going to need you here with us. We don't know what other Servants Lev has under his thumb so you will have to be our eyes and ears."

Jeanne nodded. "I will do my best."

"What will my men do?" Nero asked.

"Have them stand by as the last line of defense." Roman answered. "Each one of the Chaldean Servants are worth an entire army by themselves, and they're the only ones capable of defeating the enemy commander. If the undead start breaking through, then they will be needed to keep them at bay."

Nero looked at the doctor, then to her forces and saw their awed faces. She turned to look at the three Chaldean Servants, and her face joined alongside them. Vlad summoned hundreds of stakes from the ground, permanently destroying some of the undead soldiers. The Berserker entered one of the stakes as Liz slammed her lance to the ground, and summoned forth her speakers, causing the two Masters to widen their eyes for what was about to come. They turned to look at the others frantically and opened their mouths in unison.

"COVER YOUR EARS!"

"Báthory Erzsébet!"

Everyone but Nero managed to cover their ears in time. The Roman emperor could only watch as Liz let out a terrible shriek. The enemy soldiers that were close by soon had their decomposing flesh torn to shreds from the soundwaves produced until all that remained were their skeletal remains. The moment Liz was finished, a good chunk of the enemy forces were destroyed. Everyone then stopped covering their ears and sighed in relief.

"Umu, that girl has talent." Nero said. "She definitely has what it takes to be a fabulous singer one day."

"I agree." Tatsuko replied. "But only if-HOLY SHIT NERO YOUR EARS ARE BLEEDING!"

Nero tilted her head in confusion as blood slowly trickled out from her ears. "I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Allow me to fix that for you." Sanson said. As the Assassin applied some healing magic on the emperor's ears, Vlad continued to decimate the undead hordes with his stakes. The Berserker used them to attack his enemies, or to teleport closer to the groups heading towards the others and finished them off with his lance. Another large group slowly made their way towards him, but he was quick on his feet and conjured ten more stakes from the ground, impaling six of them, while he teleported to the remaining ten of that group and finished them with his lance.

As that was going on, Nobunaga continued to fight against Darius by herself. The Berserker was a slightly more difficult fight for the black haired Servant, but not enough for her to need aid. Nobunaga dodged another strike from the Berserker's axes before manifesting her muskets to shoot at him. The projectiles hit their marks, wounding Darius. The black haired Servant grinned for only a moment, before her faced twisted in shock and disbelief.

Darius's wounds were starting to close up and heal.

"Oh you have GOT to be kidding me!"

Darius roared once more. Nobunaga took this chance to summon more muskets to pin him down, and waited as he raised his axes to strike. Nobunaga took aim as the Berserker swung his axes at her, only for no strike to land.

Darius stopped midswing.

"What the hell is he doing?" Tatsuko asked. Everyone else watched in surprise as the Berserker lowered his axes. Darius looked up to the sky, and opened his mouth, shooting green flames from his maw. The undead soldiers stopped their advancement, surprising Vlad and Liz. They all watched as Darius turned his back to them, and walked away. The undead soldiers returned to their formations, locking shields together, and walked backwards towards their commander until none of them could be seen on the horizon. As soon as they knew the enemy was out of range, the three Servants returned to their Masters and their allies with stern expressions.

"It would seem this Lev Lainur was merely testing us." Vlad said.

"That's the only way their retreat could be explained." Nobunaga said.

"Well either way, you three fought them all off wonderfully." Ritsuka said. "With this, we now will be more prepared the next time Lev does something like this again."

"Umu, I suggest we return to the palace for now and modify our plans." Nero said. "I also think someone should tell our prisoners what we saw today. They got extremely lucky we captured them…"

"I'll do it." Sanson replied.

"That's probably for the best." Tatsuko said.

Nero nodded and turned to her soldiers. "All of you are dismissed for now!"

The soldiers saluted, and returned into the city. Nero followed suit alongside the Chaldean Servants and Mashu. Ritsuka did not move, causing Tatsuko to stare at him curiously.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

Ritsuka looked at her and shook his head. "No, I'm pissed."

"Yeah, I could tell when we learned about those soldiers." Roman said. "I think that's the first time any of us saw you like that."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let it show like that." Ritsuka said. "I need to keep it under a tighter lid for the sake of-"

"Oh no you don't!" Roman shouted. "You're not going to compartmentalize your feelings on this!"

Ritsuka stared at the doctor in shock. "But-"

"No buts!" Roman shouted. "If you try to hide your emotions like that it'll alienate you from everyone else. You will seem less human in their eyes."

"Roman's right." Tatsuko said. The orange haired Master put a hand on Ritsuka's shoulder and took a deep breath. "When I was still in the closet, I did the same thing you were trying to do. And it made me miserable. I don't want you doing the same thing I did, so please, let it loose every now and then."

Ritsuka remained silent, causing Tatsuko to release her hand from his shoulder. It would seem he was probably considering their advice. The orange haired Master smiled and stretched to loosen her muscles. "Okay, I think Roman and I said our piece on this. Let's head back to the others."

Ritsuka nodded and followed Tatsuko towards the city gate. The male Master soon felt his eyes starting to sag, and his head starting to get dizzy. Tatsuko hummed to herself to pass the time, only for a loud thud to break her concentration.

"Hey Twig boy, did you hear that?" She asked. No response was given, making her raise an eyebrow.

"Twig boy?"

No response. Tatsuko stopped in her tracks. Her heart rate started to increase, hoping it wasn't what she feared it was. The female Master gulped, and slowly turned around, causing her eyes to widen as her heart sank. Ritsuka was on the ground, completely unconscious.

"RITSUKA!"

Tatsuko immediately rushed to the male Master's side, and looked to see if he was injured. She checked his pulse and sighed in relief that he was still alive, and no visible wounds meant that he wasn't injured. But she had to get him help. She took a deep breath and attempted to drag him, only to realize he wasn't that heavy. The female Master then decided to lift him, and carry him to the gates. The orange haired teen couldn't help but notice something was off.

He was disturbingly light to carry. He was only slightly taller than she was, but he should be heavier than this. Something was definitely wrong here. She had to bury those thoughts as she ran to the gates.

"Somebody help!"

Unbeknownst to the Chaldeans, they had an audience watching them. Lev Lainur watched them from relative safety, looking at the scene before him with a scrying spell. The man grinned as he watched Ritsuka faint, and being carried by Tatsuko.

"My my, I'm impressed he never fell to unconsciousness until now." He said. The man's thoughts were soon broken as he heard thunderous footsteps approaching. He then turned to see Darius walking towards him, causing Lev to smile.

"Oh, welcome back Darius!" He said. "You fought quite well today."

Darius grunted, causing Lev to walk to him and pat him on the back. "You want to know why I called you back? Well, I needed to test them a bit, and see how they would react. Besides, you are too important to waste on them."

Darius grunted once more. Lev stepped away and tilted his head in false confusion. "When are we attacking next? Oh, that won't be necessary for now. I have an idea that will sow terror in Rome."

Darius grunted. Lev shook his head in denial. "It won't be happening right now. Their guards will be up for a few days. For this to work, I need to strike when their guards are at their lowest."

Darius let out a small roar causing Lev to laugh. "Your purpose? Well it just so happens that I need to send you back to our headquarters. I have had reports that some unknown man was looking at the place, and disappeared. If he returns to attack, you will be the first line of defense."

Darius grunted in approval.

"Splendid!" Lev said. "I will send you there immediately. Just stand right there and I'll get it done."

Lev reached into his coat, and produced the Holy Grail of this Singularity. The man then made a small chant, and the ground beneath the Berserker started to glow. In a flash of light, Darius was gone, having been sent back to the headquarters of the United Empire. Lev smirked to himself for a moment, before calming himself down. Now for the next pawn.

"Oh Rider, I need to speak with you!"

Rider walked up from the path and stood at attention. He was of average height, with short black hair and green eyes. He wore a purple tunic under his armor. He was thin, but had some muscle to him, and in his hair was a golden laurel wreath. Strapped to his back was an ornate golden sword. The Servant stared at the brown haired man with slight contempt as he remained at attention.

"You summoned for me, Master?" Rider asked. His words dripped with annoyance.

"You will be resuming your duties as the Chief General of the United Empire's forces here." Lev answered. "However, you and the army are to wait for me to signal the next attack. I want them to break first."

"And how do you plan to do that?" Rider asked.

"That isn't your concern." Lev said in annoyance. "All you need to do is attack Nero when the time is right."

"But how will I know when it is the right time unless you tell me your plan?" Caesar asked mockingly.

Lev clicked his tongue in annoyance. This Servant has been pushing his buttons since he was summoned, and it was always getting on his nerves. "You're supposed to be a brilliant tactician, so figure it out!"

Rider scoffed. The Servant looked at the horizon before taking a deep breath. "I already have a few strategies thought out, but whatever you have planned, it might ruin them."

"I highly doubt that." Lev said.

Rider sighed. It was clear that Lev wouldn't say anything to him, so he would have to just take his word for it. Lev turned to face him with a scowl. "Will you be able to handle this?"

"As long as these….Chaldeans don't have any surprises for me, then they are as good as defeated." Rider answered.

"If they do manage to outplay you, it is of no consequence." Lev said. "It would just mean that we would have to wait for Gaul to be conquered in order for Rome to fall."

Rider glared at the traitorous Chaldean, causing Lev to chuckle. "It must be eating at you. You're going to be responsible for destroying not only human history, but also of your homeland."

Rider remained silent, causing Lev to shrug. "Well I'll just leave you to it."

The traitorous Chaldean turned to walk away, only to stop, and turn around to face the Servant.

"I am counting on you for this…..Julius Caesar."

And with that, Lev walked off, leaving Caesar to exhale sharply and look into the direction of Rome.

OC: Wow, talk about an insane chapter, wouldn't you say Vlad?...Ummmm Vlad? Are you playing Elden Ring?

CV: *Running against Margit* No I'm not!

OC: Hey, I'm just asking. I have it in the background too ya know.

CV: Oh right. Then let me take a small break.

OC: Well in any case, this was quite the crazy chapter. What stood out to you the most?

CV: I like how Lev acts with the Servants under his command. I love his condescending nature, it reminds me of another character I've had to supervise.

OC: Yeah that one was certainly interesting, but I think the thing that stood out to me the most were three things that REALLY would raise eyebrows. The orgy scene, Ritsuka fainting, and RIDER JULIUS CAESAR MOTHERFUCKERS! Yeah that's right, we're not going with the silly Saber design of his, but an all new Class and appearance. As for the orgy scene? Well you can actually thank Vlad for that one. Originally I wanted a scene with Nero in bed with some concubines in Chapter 37 where Jing Ke would attack, but he said "Nah, let's save them for an orgy scene instead." It was….actually not so hard to write all things considered.

CV: Considering Nero's liberal attitude when it comes to relationships, getting her in something like that was pretty easy, and it fits her rather well.

OC: It really does. And having her offer Tatsuko a few rounds with her lovers was a nice gesture, it shows she wants everyone to love each other.

CV: Tatsuko is a stronger person than me, I would've jumped right in.

OC: I would have too. Though speaking of strong, it is pretty impressive that she was still able to carry Ritsuka's unconscious body, even though it was said how light he was.

CV: True lol. She pulled through with all her strength.

OC: And for the first time in a long while, we ended a scene that wasn't the final one on a cliffhanger! Talk about nostalgia right there.

CV: Been a while since we've done that.

OC: God, I think the last time we did that was with the fight between Medea and Heracles Vs. Atalante. Don't quote me on that, but that's the last one I remember.

CV: I think you're right.

OC: Maybe. But on another note I know you're all wondering why Darius is one of Lev's Servants. Well we needed Lev to be credible as a villain, and so we decided to give him multiple Servants to command so the Chaldeans would have some difficulty instead of steamrolling them. And we needed enough Servants on both sides to make things evenly matched…..more or less.

CV: Evenly matched lol, Lev might have more Servants but Nero has Ritsuka and Tatsuko. It's indeed an even fight.

OC: Well considering Ritsuka's out cold, she just has Tatsuko. I will warn you all that the next Chapter will get kinda dark, but it won't involve whatever Lev is cooking up.

CV: Lev isn't cooking, WE ARE!

OC: Lol. Though speaking of Lev, I can't help but feel bad for Caesar here. He is helping an asshole destroy not only human history, but in his own home country too. That must be weighing on him heavily. And I know some of you may ask WHY he's a Rider instead of a Saber. Well like I said before, we wanted a Caesar we could take seriously, and his Saber form….is not that. Though I will say that originally Caesar was going to be a Saber and change to Rider after America, but Vlad was the one who suggested making him a Rider right from the get-go.

CV: I thought he would be cooler as a Rider.

OC: Well from the looks of it, he's going to be. He's got quite a few plans, and he's not taking anyone's bullshit if his attitude towards Lev is any indication.

CV: He ain't happy, but he can't really do anything to go against Lev.

OC: No he cannot. Though I will say that Darius seems to have an easier time with Lev. Unlike Caesar, he seems more professional and doesn't back talk. Kinda strange for a Berserker.

CV: I'm sure that he's more than happy to be able to conquer once more, and he doesn't care for whom he's doing it.

OC: Or maybe he doesn't know that he's on the side that's destroying human history. If he did, I'm sure he'd be more like Caesar.

CV: That's a good guess too.

OC: One can only guess as to what Berserkers like him are thinking. Their minds are an enigma.

CV: Just a bunch of roars lol.

OC: I still can't believe we brought back Medusa translating for him. Who's incredible idea was that?...Oh right…it was both of us lol.

CV: Of course it was! And that's the end of this chapter, we thank everyone for reading and we hope to see you all next week. CosmicVlad and Owenchaser signing off, have a good night everyone.
