Chapter 3: The Sorcerer Supreme
Disclaimer: I don't own either of the franchises. All characters belong to either Type-Moon or Marvel.
TigerWarrior1998: To answer your questions I do believe that Dr. Strange in his classic days was stronger than almost all of the Nasuverse characters when it came to his abilities in magic. But the Dr. Strange I'm using is more in line with his weaker modern-day depiction, who is certainly still above most magus. I'm sure that the modern-day Dr. Strange can also rival and defeat servants but he can still be taken down with enough power. Now in my personal opinion when comparing Dr. Strange's magic or the Marvel universe's magic to the magic and magecraft of the Nasuverse, I think that the magic of the Marvel universe is stronger. While magic in the Nasuverse can accomplish impossible feats, The magic in Marvel has been used in ways that it has drastically affected the universe and a good example of this would be Marvels house of m event. I do believe that if Dr. Strange wanted to, he could find a way to reach the Root on his own, but it would take him a while. Lastly, I don't think Dr. Strange can use the magic practiced in the Nasuverse because of how differently both universes' access and use magic. But I do think that both universes can learn something from each other and improve on what they already have. Also, thanks for leaving a review and I hope to hear from you again.
Ritsuka was in awe. The now dubbed sorcerer supreme was not only able to stop Berserker, but also hold him in place. However, Berserker was far from done.
"▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅▅▅!" With an earth-shattering roar Berserker slammed his giant ax against the ground with enough force that it caused a shockwave that would have cleaved both the sorcerer and director Olga in half. Luckily the sorcerer was fast enough to move both himself and director Olga out of harm's way but in doing this, he was forced to cancel his spell.
Now that Berserker was free from the crimson bands, he set his sights on the new threat. "▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅!" With a roar Berserker charged towards the sorcerer with the intent to kill but was soon met with a magical blast from the sorcerer.
Ritsuka, Fou, and Mash ran towards director Olga to make sure that she was okay and to their relief she had only been shaken up from her earlier experience and should easily recover. Suddenly Dr. Romani's voice popped up. "Director, Mash, Fujimaru are you guys okay. We're detecting an incredibly large amount of magical energy at your location"
"We're fine Dr. Romani; we're just lucky that another servant showed up to help." replied Ritsuka. But before he could continue Mash interrupted. "Senpai, I don't think he's another servant."
"I think Mash is right Fujimaru. The magical energy that we're detecting is more in line with a magus but at the same time it's different and is a lot more powerful than most magus." Added Dr. Romani
"W-what that's imp-possible. No h-human should be able to f-fight like that against a servant especially when f-facing a Berserker'' Shouted a still visibly shaken director Olga who was pointing to the sorcerer who had just barely dodged a strike from Berserker and released a powerful magical blaster that was able to pen the servant down.
As the director continued to rant about the impossibilities of the newcomer being human, Ritsuka simply continued to watch the sorcerer's fight with Berserker. He watched as Berserker escaped the place that it was penned in, to perform an attack. But was then blocked by a barrier that was suddenly created by the sorcerer and then Berserker was surprised and attacked by Caster. As Ritsuka continued to watch the fight something came to mind. "Dr. Romani could it be that he was responsible for the unknown energy signature that Chaldea had detected"
Dr. Romani thought on this for a moment before giving his answer "No, I don't think so. While this person does have an incredible amount of magical energy, it is still nowhere close to the unknown energy signature that we detected. However, it is possible that he might know the cause behind are mystery. But for now, we can worry about that later, you guys need to focus on taking down Berserker."
With that said director Olga, Ritsuka and Mash all turned their attention towards Berserker who at this moment was being bombarded by magical attacks from both the sorcerer and Caster. However, despite the damage being dealt to Berserker, the servant didn't seem like he'll be going down anytime soon and that is something that worried Caster. "Damn it! If we don't finish this fight soon then Archer might show up and we'll lose the advantage. Hey old man, kid, do you two think that you guys can buy me sometime."
The sorcerer was a little annoyed by what Caster called him but agreed, while Ritsuka seemed confused "Wait Caster what are you planning to do?" Luckily Mash seems to have a better idea of what Caster is planning. "Senpai we can trust him; I think I know what he's going to do and if it works then it should finish Berserker in one blow." Thanks to Mash's words Ritsuka agreed and gave Mash approval to attack.
Mash charged towards Berserker and was able to land a hard shield bash to the giants' head and briefly stunning him. The sorcerer would soon follow with a powerful magical blast that sent Berserker flying towards some trees. However, Berserker was quick to recover and grabbed a tree trunk and threw it towards Mash. Thankfully the demi-servant was quick enough to block the tree trunk with her shield, but Berserker seemed to have expected this because before Mash was even able to recover from the tree, Berserker was already next to her with his ax raised for an attack. All Mash could do was brace herself, as Berserker brought his ax down on her. Then suddenly Mash was quickly pull to safety through what appears to be spiral portal by no other than the sorcerer
Having failed to land a fatal hit on the demi-servant, Berserker turned his attention to the sorcerer and threw parts of a tree towards him. The attack however never made it to its target, as the sorcerer simply opened another portal and sent it back to Berserker. Seeing his own attack turned back at him, Berserker quickly dodged the tree and once again charged towards the sorcerer. But this time when the sorcerer prepared to attack, Berserker grabbed parts of a tree and threw them towards the area around the sorcerer.
In doing this Berserker effectively blinded the sorcerer by covering the area around him in dust and took the chance to quickly close the distance and attack. Fortunately, the sorcerer was fast enough to cast a magical barrier for protection before Berserker's attack reached him and Mash. But while the barrier was successful in stopping a direct hit, it could not stop the force of the attack and Mash and the sorcerer were sent crashing to the other side of the fields.
Seeing this Berserker was about to go after the two but suddenly stopped in his tracks as he sensed a hugged buildup of mana. Berserker turned his attention to where he felt the buildup of mana, but it was already too late. "Timber giant, eaten away by fire. Wicker Man!" Shouted Caster.
A colossal burning wicker man had grabbed Berserker and began to pull the servant into its chest. However, Berserker was unrelenting and would not yield to the wicker man. Berserker firmly plants his feet to the ground and begins to push against the wicker man. If this had continued on then Berserker might have been able to free himself, but fortunately the ever-reliable last master of Chaldea was already working to solve this. "Mash this is our chance to finish this, attack him now." Using the power of his mystic code Ritsuka both healed and empowered the demi-servant
With the help of her master Mash emerged from the other side of the field and charged towards Berserker to perform a shield bashed on his back. In doing this, Berserker lost his footing and was pulled in by the wicker man. Having finally captured the servant the wicker man became engulfed in flames and imploded into a pillar of fire that reached the clouds and burned away Berserker.
Seeing that the noble phantasm had activated, director Olga took a breath of relief and turned her attention to their other problem. "You did good Fujimaru. Now let's go check if that sorcerer is still alive and see if we can get some answers."
"▂▂▂▂▂▂▃▃▃▃▄▄▄▄▄▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅!" Suddenly from within the fire Berserker Roared and began trying to free himself from the center of the pillar of fire.
The members of Chaldea were shocked to see Berserker still alive within the flames and the words spoken by director Olga best described how everyone felt. "H-how is that servant still alive, nothing should be able to survive an attack like Casters"
"Damn it! I didn't think that he was this tough. Hey if any of you have any last-minute ideas you better do it quickly because I can't hold him for much longer." Warned Caster.
However, those from Chaldea couldn't do anything with what they had at the moment. Then suddenly the Sorcerer flew out from where he was sent crashing by Berserker and saw what was happening. The sorcerer rushed towards Berserker and began chanting. "With the last of the ancient power, I call forth the mighty flames of the Faltine to destroy my enemy." With an ancient power not seen in this world powerful flame began conjuring in the hands of the sorcerer and when fully charged it was released with unimaginable power towards Berserker.
With the combined powers from the flames conjured by the sorcerer and Caster's noble phantasm, Berserker's body could no longer withstand the power and was incinerated.
The display of the sorcerers' power was shocking to everyone in Chaldea, especially to the director. "What type of magecraft was that? There is no way a human body could maintain that much power and not be destroyed. Who is that man?"
With Berserker defeated, Caster was finally able to take a minute to rest and thanked the sorcerer "Thanks for the help old man, I don't know how much longer I could have lasted. But you know your pretty powerful, I bet you might even be as strong as my teacher when it comes to magic"
"You're welcome and please just call me Dr. Strange. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go check on the group over there." Replied the now named Dr. Strange while pointing at director Olga, Fou, Mash and Ritsuka.
With that said Dr. Strange flew towards the Chaldea group. "Are all of you okay" asked Dr. Strange
However, before either Mash or Ritsuka could reply to him, director Olga stepped in. "YOU, who are you and what are your intentions?"
"Woe calm down miss. If he wanted to do any harm, then he wouldn't have saved you or used so much of his power" interrupted Caster.
"Caster's right director. If he was up to something, then he wouldn't have gone through all the trouble to help us" added Dr. Romani whose voice once again popped up.
Director Olga thought back on recent events and blushed in embarrassment from her action just now and took the time to try to compose herself before speaking again. "What I meant to say is thank you for helping us. Now can we take some of your time to ask you some questions."
"Yes, you can, and I also have some questions of my own, but not here. Let's talk in a location I found that seems a little safer than here." Replied Dr. Strange while opening another one of his spiral portals.
Caster, seeing no problem with this, was first to step through the portal while the Chaldea group hesitated a little before stepping through. As Dr. Strange stepped in lasted he noticed Fou sitting on Mash's shoulder and gave it a strange look.
As the group stepped through the portal, they found themselves in what seemed to be a warehouse near a dock.
"Alright, let's begin with introductions. My name is Doctor Stephen Strange, however you all can simply call me Dr. Strange, and I am the sorcerer supreme" begin Dr. Strange
"I am Olga Marie, the current head of the Animusphere family and the director of Chaldea."
"I'm Ritsuka Fujimaru, a master of Chaldea"
"My name is Mash Kyrielight and this little one on my shoulder is Fou"
"You can just call me Caster"
"And I am Romani Archaman but everyone just calls me Dr. Romani"
"Now since we're done with the introduction. What do you mean you're the sorcerer supreme, who decided that and why have we never heard of you from the Mage's Association?" Demand Olga.
Dr. Strange took a moment to carefully think before speaking. "The sorcerer supreme is a title given to those who are considered masters of the mystic arts and are given the duty to protect the world. I was chosen to become sorcerer supreme after the death of my master and to answer your last question I have never heard about an association of mages, nor have I ever worked with such an association."
"WHAT! How is it possible that someone as powerful as you, has not been reached by the Mage's Association and how is it possible that you don't know about them" cried Olga, who then proceeded to ask Dr. Strange even more questions.
As Dr. Strange was being bombarded by questions from director Olga, Ritsuka decided to ask a question of his own. "Dr. Romani have you ever heard of anyone that would be called the sorcerer supreme?"
"Beside maybe the director of the Mage's Association, I have never heard or seen anyone being called the sorcerer supreme. Which is strange because even if Dr. Strange may not know about the association, I'm certain that the Mage Association would have eventually found out about someone like Dr. Strange and kept a close eye on them." Replied Dr. Romani. "Oh, that reminds me. Before the battle with Berserker, Chaldea's scanners detected an unknown energy. Do you happen to know anything about it Dr. Strange?"
"No, I'm afraid I don't know anything about the unknown energy" replied Dr. Strange.
Disappointed, Dr. Romani decided to ask another question. "Then do you know how you got here?"
"No, I don't. All I remember before waking up in that field was the incursion, then a white light." Replied Dr. Strange.
But when Dr. Strange gave his answer, he had thought that the group would understand what he had meant, but all he got were confused looks from the entire group. "Dr. Strange if you don't mind me asking. What is the incursion?" Ask Mash.
Now Dr. Strange was the one giving the group a confused look. "Do you all really not know about the incursion? The Avengers and I had broadcast the information on the incursion worldwide."
"Dr. Strange, who are the Avengers?" Asked Ritsuka.
With that, Dr. Strange finally understood what the problem was. "Dr. Romani I think I now know what may have caused the unknown energy that your scanners detected. You all were most likely detecting a tear in the fabric of creation that was caused from the destruction of my multiverse."
"Wait what does that mean?" Asked a very confused Ritsuka
"Weren't you paying attention Fujimaru? that means that Dr. Strange may not be from are world. In other words, He may have come from another world that's completely different from our own." Answered director Olga.
Now with this new information in hand what will Chaldea do next and what does the presence of Dr. Strange in this world mean? Who else survived and how will they change this world? This is something only time will tell, for even I, Uatu the Watcher do not know the outcome of this story.

Being unable to do his work, Dr. Strange would set off on a quest to find a way to heal his hands through any means. Eventually he would find out about someone named the Ancient One and would begin looking for them. When Dr. Strange finally found the Ancient One and asked to be healed, he was denied. Instead, the Ancient One offered to each him to healed himself but Stephen refused. This was until he saw the Ancient One demonstrate his ability in a battle and agreed to finally learn.

A/N: I am so sorry everyone, this chapter was supposed to come out in the middle of January. But I'm a college student and forgot to account for my classes and so I had to delay the chapter until today. From now on I will try to update this story every two weeks and please feel free to leave a review because that would really help me.
