Chapter 16

-Moscow, Russia-

The City of Moscow, which was lively earlier, was now engulfed in flames. The people in the streets were running like spooked mice, trying to flee or to hide from the danger. The danger was a huge mountain-size Mammoth that appeared out of nowhere. The Mammoth was smacked down in the middle of the city. Its humongous body hit and crumbled the buildings around it. Each step that it took shook the earth.

However, in the midst of this chaos, one group was running, not with the crowd, but towards the creature.

After jumping from the building and landing on the ground, Jim and his Servant dashed towards the Mammoth standing on the road. Big, so big! He screamed in his mind, shaking, but he brushed the fear away as he raised his Excalibur. "Saber, I'll attack its right leg, provide support!"

"Understood!" Saber answered as the Trollhunter leapt towards the building and ran along the walls. He then jumped and swerved his sword, only to create a spark of light blue. His eyes went wide with shock. His blade was inches away from the fur, but it hit a forcefield. He quickly leapt back and landed on the road.

"He has shields!"

"Indeed. We should step back, Jim!" Saber said as she and her Master quickly nodded. However, before any of them could move, Jim noticed a flash of light above him, making him look up. He saw Rasputin on top of the Mammoth's head. He raised his staff into the air, making it glow light blue. What is he doing-? And then the Trollhunter's eyes widened in shock as the sky suddenly drew many magic circles that began to whirl to life.

And then lightning shot out and thundered the road below.

"Whoa!" Jim and Saber quickly sprinted away as lightning bombarded them everywhere. The boy jumped and made a wall run again before he bounced back to the ground, narrowly avoiding a lightning. Saber, on the other hand, lurched forward and made a zigzag, dodging the attack.

"We need to get away, Saber!"

"Understood, Jim!"

But where to!? Jim looked in front and saw that several magic circles had also formed on the end of the road. It all whirled to life before hundreds of lightning bolts zapped out. The boy and the Servant stopped dead in their tracks, but before they could move, a jeep suddenly dashed out of an alleyway and careened to a stop. Ishtar hovered above it. She pointed her index finger and fired a volley of golden arrows out of her Maanna and hit the lightning before it hit them.

"Get on you two! We need to get away from that thing quickly!" It was Emiya who shouted and his group was in the jeep. The two quickly jumped into the back and the vehicle roared forward.

"We need to get it away from the city if possible!" Waver said as drove and swerved the vehicle into another alleyway before emerging onto another road. Kairi, sitting beside the Magi, glanced at the creature. The Mammoth broke through a line of buildings, destroying it in its wake. However, its dark blue eyes weren't looking at them. It's not following us. He thought and then an idea popped into his head, making him grin wildly.

"Rin, do you have a Degen spell?" Rin peeked out from behind him and asked?

"Yes, I do!"

"Does it have a homing capability?"

"Yes, but its explosion is weak. Why do you ask?"

Kairi grinned at her and took out an object from his pocket. The object was a heart, still beating and alive, but its texture was black and it looked very disgusting. "We're gonna lead that thing to us. Get ready with yours."

Rin's eyes stared at the heart with disgust. However, she understood what the bounty hunter had meant and let out a vehement sigh. "Sure thing…" Rin took out four green gems and threw them into the air. "Stark, Degens!" she chanted and the gems flashed before bursting into hundreds of tiny hummingbirds.

Kairi watched first before he threw his grotesque grenade into the air and chanted. "Multiply!" the heart exploded into a volley of black looking sparrows.

The volley of hummingbirds and sparrows zoomed in towards the Mammoth. Rin's homing birds hit the fur of the right forward foot of the creature, exploding into myriads of evergreen flashes before Kairi's sparrows dashed and crashed at the neck, a brilliant bright violet sparking and engulfing the creature.

*RAAA!* The creature reacted to their attacks. The Servant Rider darted his eyes at them before he whipped his staff in their direction. The Mammoth turned and bared its dark blue eyes at them before it began to stomp its feet towards the group.

They had successfully got its attention. "We got it!" Kairi said in success.

Rin quickly pointed out at the creature and asked everyone. "What's next then?"

"We'll lead it to the freeway on the outskirts of the city. And there, we will destroy it with our Noble Phantasms! I don't want innocent civilians to get hurt in this skirmish!" Emiya declared with worry in his eyes. Jim and Saber glanced at him while Rin, Kairi and Waver looked at him with enlightenment. They all agreed with what he had said. They had to prevent needless bloodshed.

Above the Russian airspace, hovering silently like a hawk waiting for its prey, Invincible listened to his beating heart, a common practice that he was always doing whenever he had an episode of his sickness. Ever since the third round started, the Hero stationed himself in the sky. His eyes were closed and arms crossed over his chest. His ears, however, were filled with loud noises that he was very familiar with – the cries of the people that were buried under the rubble, the screams of the innocent who were all scared and confused because of the sudden appearance of his Servant Rider. He heard it all and it sickened him. I've sunk so low. There's no hope for me, he thought with repel as a mortified frown formed on his face. "I'm so sorry...Let this evil act of mine be the last evil that will ever occur in mankind." I have to make my wish come true...so I can save everyone.

"Master, they've entered a highway."

"Assassin." Invincible opened his eyes after hearing his Servant's voice. "What's happening now?" he asked the Assassin to report to him.

"They've gotten the Rider's attention. Rider is currently chasing them on a highway outside the city"

They're redirecting him away from the people. They don't want more innocent lives to be lost. A saddened yet gladdened smile formed on his face. "Jim is truly thinking for others. He's really a Hero." A regretful sigh escaped his lips as he focused his attention on his Assassin Servant once more. "Continue monitoring them, make sure you and Heracles won't be seen."

"Understood, Master." Assassin said and didn't speak anymore. Mark once again looked down on the city. Fires and columns of smoke coming from the ruined buildings puffed out of the sky and covered the city skyline.

"I'm sorry, Jim," Mark muttered in a flagrant voice. His smile shifted into a regretful one before he whispered to no one. "But this time, you'll lose."

-Highway on the outskirts of Moscow-

"Is it still following us!?" Waver asked as he glanced at the rear-view mirror. The Mammoth was still hot on their tails. It was gaining on them quickly despite its slow pace. Each step that it took was equivalent to many kilometers. The Magi cranked the stolen vehicle as he put the pedal to the floor, gaining more speed.

"Drive faster, Waver!"

"What do you think I am doing, Kairi!?" he berated the bounty hunter as his eyes narrowed down the empty highway.

In the back, Jim and the gang stared at the behemoth. They were making sure that the enemy was chasing them down. They didn't want the Servant to cause any more trouble in the city. "Damn, I'm out of Degen!" Rin said.

Kairi dunked his hand in his jacket pocket, only to feel nothing. "Me too! You all have a plan now!?" The Bounty Hunter glanced behind him towards Emiya and Jim. The Trollhunter looked at the Servant with troubled eyes. This is just like that time with the Arcane Order and their Titans! The boy remembered a similar attack from before, but he quickly brushed his memories away. "We must hit him with our Noble Phantasm!" he said. The Terrorist Mage beside him agreed.

Suddenly, the jeep swerved sharply to the right and then left. The Rider Servant summoned twenty magic circles and launched a barrage of lightning. Waver tried to avoid as many as he could, each of the lightning striking the road, creating a craters in their wake. "Any Noble Phantasm is welcome!" Waver shouted at them. Emiya glanced at his command spells and only made a nod.

"I'll go first, Ishtar!"

"Yes, Shirou!" Ishtar said as she spun around and pointed her Maanna at the Rider Servant. The Terrorist Mage stood up and raised his right hand.

"By my command spell, I command you, Archer, to unleash your Noble Phantasm!" Emiya's command spells flashed brightly in red before a single part disappeared. The command was received by the Archer Servant, and she began to glow a shinning gold.

"What is a Tsar to a Goddess like me? Completely nothing! Gate open!" the sky above them opened up. Stars, Galaxies and other heavenly bodies shone brightly at the Rider-Class. Then a familiar planet came into view. The planet Venus sparked in gold as it shrunk and hovered inside Ishtar's Maanna. The planet then transformed into a large purple arrow which the Goddess pointed at the former Tsar of Russia.

"AN GAL TA KIGAL SHE!" Ishtar shouted and the arrow was shot. The cosmic attack flew at a staggering speed towards Ivan the Terrible. "Let's see if you can handle this-!" The goddess smiled with confidence, but it was short lived. The former Tsar quickly swung his staff. The fur of the Mammoth suddenly flickered in light blue. Sparks started to flashed at the hook part of the creature's trunk, raising and aiming it at the approaching planetary arrow.

And then with a deep booming voice, the Rider servant shouted his Noble Phantasm. "ZVERI KRESTNYY KHOD!" The hook on the trunk let out a bright spark before it burst out as a colorful beam of violet and light blue. The ray shot forward and hit the Goddess's attack at point blank range.

The whole highway was engulfed in white light.

The group stared in disbelief, but their reaction was nothing to Ishtar's whose face drew a complete shock. "Wh-what the hell!?" she shouted in pure denial as she watched her super attack being successfully parried by the Rider's Noble Phantasm. The bright light disappeared and a strong gust of wind suddenly pushed the vehicle, making it swerve sharply to the right and left again.

"H-How is this possible!?"

"Calm down, Ishtar!" Emiya said, which quelled the panic attack of the Goddess.

"If only my sister, Ereshkigal, was here! Then that Rider-Class would've been dead!" Ishtar said as she landed on the opened part of the jeep.

Jim and Saber narrowed their eyes at the creature with a troubled look. They had just witnessed how the creature simply blocked the Goddess's ultimate attack with ease. It's so strong. A tense frown formed on the Trollhunter's face. "Ivan is strong! It's practically Invincible!" Jim said with an agitated voice. Ivan the Terrible had force fields around him, his Mammoth was as hard as an unmovable wall, and he could cast much lightning and thunder at them as he wanted. The Servant was strong, just like Mark, the Invincible.

"Jim, do you have a plan?" Saber asked him in a hurried manner, but the boy glanced at her, an unsure expression on his face. I wish I did, but... Jim wanted to have a plan, but he was out of ideas. His mind had completely drawn nothing but blank.

"No, it's not Invincible!" Waver suddenly countered as he pulled the wheels and veered right and left again, avoiding lightning from the creature. He then cast his eyes at the rear-view mirror, noticing that it was glowing gold. "I have a spell that analyzes the mana pattern of every Servant and I know the weakness of that Servant. There was an opening while he was firing his Noble Phantasm!" The group turned to him, their faces showing shock. Waver glanced at them and frowned more. "Whenever he's not firing, the flow of mana runs all over his body. However, when he fired his Noble Phantasm, all of his mana was redirected to his trunk and that can only mean one thing." The Mage paused as he looked at the group, "He's completely unprotected and vulnerable during that time."

Vulnerable...Ah! And then as if on cue an idea formed on his mind. An enlightened smile spread on his lips. "That's it!" Jim turned to Ishtar and Saber, beginning to dictate the plan. "Saber and Archer, can you unleash your Noble Phantasms?"

"I can, Jim." Saber said as Ishtar glanced at him with a confused look.

Emiya, however, got the gist of what the boy was planning, a smirk forming on his face. "You want to take advantage of Rider's Noble Phantasm side effects, and you'll attack him in his most vulnerable state?" The Trollhunter nodded with pride. "Well, my swords are yours to use, Jim. However, you need to be quick."Emiya said and turned to his Servant. "Ishtar, you up for more?"

"Of course, I am! Hit him hard, Jim!" Ishtar, who finally realized what was about to happen, said in frustration.

"One more time then. Ishtar, with my command seal, I command you to release your Noble Phantasm!" The command seal burned on Emiya's hand as his Servant began to glow in gold once more.

The Trollhunter followed and raised his right hand and then commanded with authority. "Saber, with my command seal, I command you to release your Noble Phantasm at full power!" His command seal burned and was down to two.

Saber felt a surge of power inside of her, and her sword began to glow in red and violet. "I will Jim!" The King of Knights grinned as she raised her sword. At the same time, the Venus planet of Ishtar plummets and shrunk again inside the Goddess Maanna weapon.

"Here I go! One more time! AN GAL TA KIGAL SHE!" The Goddess roared in fury as she fired her arrow again. At the same time, Saber reached her peak of power. Her sword screamed of mana as it burst into red.

"EXCALIBUR MORGAN!" Saber swung her sword and a beam of violet light soared out towards the Rider Servant with the Goddess's arrow.

The Rider Servant saw the incoming attack. The former tyrant Tsar reacted and swung his staff. The trunk of his Mammoth sparkled in light blue as the Rider howled his Noble Phantasm again. "ZVERI KRESTNYY KHOD!"

The trunk of the Mammoth burst a beam of blue light once again. The attack collided with the other two Noble Phantasm. As a result, the mana of both attacks began to balloon as each of the Servants refused to back down.

While the skirmish was happening, Emiya raised his left hand and closed his eyes. "I am the bone of my sword...UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS!" Emiya threw his left hand, swords burst out of thin air and formed a line that ascended up. Jim watched as the stairs lined up towards the top of the Mammoth. He grinned in happiness, proceeding with his plan was to make a dash towards the head.

"Go, Jim! My projection magic won't last long!" Emiya said with a grunt. His left hand glowed in blue green as mana painfully crawled underneath his skin.

"Yeah!" Jim said, but before he took off, he looked at Saber and smiled at her. "See you in a minute, Saber!"

Saber nodded and grunted as she poured more power into her sword. The Trollhunter then took off and jumped towards the first sword. His foot landed and then he sprinted up towards the head of the beast.

Here it goes! Jim leapt and rushed upward. Swords formed out of thin air ahead of him and lined up, forming a crude staircase towards the top of the Mammoth's head. The swords that he stepped on burst and disappeared. The projection magic of the Terrorist mage wasn't lasting long. Jim had to move faster.

"Come on!" Jim roared as he readied his Excalibur. The boy passed the huge left tusk of the Mammoth. He scampered more, springing to each sword and battle axe. His breath started to vapor and wisp out of his mouth as he grunted and gained more altitude. Almost there-! When the Trollhunter reached the left dark blue eye, however, the Mammoth saw him. A single and small magic circle appeared and shot out a bolt of lightning.

"Ah!" Jim dashed and dodged the lightning, but he lost his footing and started to fall. A dagger to appear in midair and Jim grabbed onto a handle, huffing for breath. The boy didn't want to look down. Jim knew that he was way too far up and the scene below him might disturb him. The Trollhunter looked around until he saw a battle axe materialize not far from him. He quickly hurled himself and landed on the handle just in time for the dagger to dematerialize.

Thanks, Emiya! Jim thought as he hopped onto a sword. He passed the left ear and eventually reached the top of the head.

And then he saw the Servant. Ivan the Terrible was as equally terrifying as his Mammoth upon closer view. The man – thing – was jutted out of the creature's forehead. He couldn't see his eyes, but he could see the crown on Ivan's disfigured head, sitting over his two large tusks.

"You've arrived at the top of the world, boy." Rider spoke as he half turned his huge body at him. Jim brushed his fears away and frowned at the Servant.

"I don't know who your Master is, but I must end you." he warned and brandished his Excalibur at him. The Servant stared at him for a moment before he swung his staff and pointed it at Jim.

"You are welcome to try, half-troll!"

Jim didn't waste any time. He yelled and charged towards the former Tsar.

The Rider responded. His tusks began to glow light blue before it extended and lashed out. The Trollhunter's eyes widened in horror. He didn't expect for the Servant to lash his tusks out. No, keep moving, Jim! A flash of Saber's caring, smiling face appeared on his mind. He growled and his fear completely disappeared. His spirits burned high.

"That is nothing!" Jim thundered and swung his sword to the left. The tusks were cut and the Rider Servant made a startled gasp. The former Tsar then arched his back down before he beat both of his tusks again at the boy, but the Trollhunter curved his sword to the right, cutting it completely.

"Imbecile!" Ivan the Terrible howled in anger. His tusks regrew and he lashed them out once again, but Jim slid down, dodging both before he continued his death run. "Hogwash!" the Tsar howled and threw his tusks again, only for the Trollhunter to swerve to the right and then leap to the left, avoiding it. The gap was now close and the Servant felt his doom was nigh.

"I won't let you!" Ivan gnashed his words as his tusks changed trajectory and quickly launched towards the boy.

Jim glanced behind him. A grin appeared on his face. "Got you!" He quickly jumped above, avoiding the tusks.

What is he-? The Servant was confused, but then he finally realized what the boy had done as his own tusks reached him. Its tips pierced right through his chest. "Agh!" Ivan let out an anguished scream as his own tusks stabbed him. The Trollhunter smiled in success. It was his plan all along, even since he discovered that the Tsar's tusks had become a whip. The boy used the enemy's own weapon.

"Here's to the end of your reign!" Jim shouted in midair as he raised his sword and swung it down. The Excalibur hacked the crown and Ivan's disfigured head before carving a hole on his massive chest. The Trollhunter landed in front of him, his chest moving rapidly as he breathed the cold air in panic. The Servant behind him slowly moved his head and looked down at the boy.

"You win, half-troll child. I applaud you." Ivan the Terrible mustered his last breath as he said his final words in a resigning manner. The original body of the Servant slowly turned transparent, golden glitters of light floating out around him. He was defeated. Jim stood and faced him. He watched the former tyrant Tsar of Russia burst into golden light.

"Rest in peace, Ivan IV Vasilyevich, the Tsar of all Russia." the Trollhunter said with saddened eyes. Jim knew that the man was terrible when alive. However, he also knew that Ivan was a victim of his own Mammoth-size ambition, which corrupted him completely. Jim closed his eyes as the Mammoth suddenly stopped moving and the Noble Phantasm stopped its thunderous beam. The creature was suddenly bathed in sparkling golden lights and the boy knew why.

With Ivan dead, this Mammoth lost its will to live. The creature, that was the size of a mountain, blew into millions of golden lights and Jim entered into a freefall.

Jim fell to the Earth, but his face was calm. He just destroyed a Servant the size of a mountain. Saber saw him fall and thought that he was in trouble. "Stop the car!" she ordered as Waver stepped on the break, the jeep came into a screeching halt. At that moment, the King of Knights jumped out and ran towards her Master.

"Jim!"

The Trollhunter glanced towards his Servant. He blinked, snapping back to reality, and then soon realized that he was nearing the ground. He quickly curved his Excalibur and created an air which softened his descent. He landed on the road and looked at her. The Servant stopped and a gladdened smile formed on her face. Jim, on the other hand, formed a victorious smirk.

"Saber, I'm back."

"Yes, you are, Jim." Saber said with happiness as she took a step forward. The Trollhunter also moved and walked towards her. However, a cloth of black suddenly blocked his view.

"NOBLE PHANTASM: ZABANIYA!" The Trollhunter's eyes widened in shock. The figure was clothed in a black robe and his right hand was glowing an unnatural red-orange hue. The man's right hand landed on Jim's chest plate, and then a pain that he hadn't ever felt in his entire life burst out of his chest.

"AAH!"

"Jim!" Saber's smile disappeared and her face became distressed as she saw a Servant in a black robe and white mask over his face suddenly appear in front of her Master. She was about to charge, but a huge figure abruptly materialized in front of her. Saber's eyes narrowed in recognition as she attempted to jump back, but the figure moved quickly.

The Berserker Servant curved his axe sword and thrust it forward but the King of Knights quickly swung her sword to the left, parrying it. But the Greek Hero responded immediately. Saber's eyes widened in doom as Heracles pushed his left hand with a forceful thrust. The Servant pierced through her chest armor and eventually stabbed right through her heart.

Saber let out a blood curdling scream, making the Trollhunter look up to her as his knees buckled and he knelt to the road. "Saber!" he shouted in anguish as the Berserker Servant jumped back and looked to his right.

"You bastard!" Ishtar was charging towards the Berserker, but another figure suddenly zoomed in towards the Archer Servant. The Goddess let out a sharp yelp as Mark suddenly appeared and hit her with a flying kick. The Hero smashed his right foot onto her stomach, sending her to the ground.

"Ishtar!" Emiya caught her before she hit the ground. His Servant groaned in distress. Rin frowned in anger and threw four rubies into the air, but before she could cast, the Assassin Servant threw four dirks and intercepted her attack. Kairi growled and pointed his shotgun at Mark and fired. The bullets discharged, but the black clothed Servant quickly shot another pair of dirks to block the bullets before it could hit the Hero.

"J-Jim-!"

"Sa-Saber, no! Don't die, don't die!" Jim shouted in sorrow, blood began to pour out of his mouth and eyes. He tried to stand up, but he could only let out a short aching howl as a burning pang erupted again on his chest.

"If you want to live, you shouldn't move too much, Jim." Mark said with a warning tone. The Hero cast his expressionless face at him. The form of the boy was too awful, but he hid his shame through his hardened glare. The Trollhunter focused his eyes on the dying King of Knights.

"Artoria-! Artoria-!" He cried her name as if his voice would certainly cure his Servant. His right hand was outstretched and was trying to reach her desperately, but to no avail. Every time he moved, the pain erupted in his chest and prevented him from moving.

His eyes slowly cleared and he finally saw his Servant. Artoria was lying on the ground, blood was pouring out of her broken armor and from her wound. A tired and fatigued look formed on her face, but her lips formed a kind smile, betraying her current bloody state.

"It's ok, Jim...I will soon go back to the Throne of Heroes."

No, not like this! You can't die like this, Saber! Jim tried to deny what was happening to his Servant, but the scene in front of him didn't change. King Artoria was dying and all he could do was watch her final moments as golden lights started to float out of her body – a sign that she would disappear soon.

"Jim...I thank you for making me happy. You're a great friend. You'll be alright." Saber coughed up blood as her voice strained the words from her mouth. "Keep moving forward, Trollhunter. I will always watch you...from the Throne of Heroes."

"Artoria-!" Jim called out her name in desperation one more time as the King of Knights slowly disappeared. The last thing Jim saw of Saber, burned deeply into his mind, was her kind and proud smile.

Mark watched the whole drama from above. He was hovering still and the scene made his insides heavy with disgrace. The Trollhunter had affection for his Servant and he had ordered Heracles to kill her. He never really wanted to hurt the Trollhunter, but this was necessary.

"Mark, stop this nonsense now!" The Hero shifted his mask and bore it on the real Lord El-Melloi II. The Magi was filled with ire as he explained. "The Holy Grail isn't real! It will never grant your wish truly!"

No, you're lying. The Grail will give me what I want. "I do not believe your lies, Lord El-Melloi II." Invincible stated simply, his face still devoid of expression.

"You piece of Viltrumite shit! Why can't you think for one second! The Grail isn't what you think it is!" Rin said in anger as she took out four blue gems from her pocket, preparing to attack the Hero.

Emiya, after putting his Servant gently on the ground, stood up beside the female Magi and said, "There's still hope for you, Mark. You just need to open your mind. You're the Hero of this world, not its villain!"

Hero? Invincible's eyes narrowed in fury at the Terrorist Mage. Mark's frown formed and became menacing after he heard Emiya say the word. How could you say that word so easily? "Assassin," he called the Assassin Servant, who shifted his mask at him.

"Yes, Master?"

"You've done well, my Servant."

"My actions are as precise as you've ordered and in accordance with your plan." the Assassin humbly said while he made a half bow at him.

Mark's lips formed a half smile, but it was a bitter and cold one before he said, "Now that you've fulfilled your purpose...then you know what will happen next right?"

The Assassin shifted his mask back at him again and said with strong loyalty to his voice. "Of course, Master Mark Grayson."

Then it's goodbye, Hassan-I-Sabbah. Mark's smile disappeared before he raised his left hand. The Assassin Servant's command seal glowed as the Hero uttered his command. "By my first command seal, I order you, Assassin...to kill yourself." His words cut through the highway like a knife. It made everyone gasp in shock, but before anyone could react, the Assassin Servant took out one his dirks and stabbed himself in the chest.

An anguished yelp emitted from his mask that was slowly turning red.

"By my second command seal, I command you, Assassin, to kill yourself." Mark threw the order again as the second command seal of the Assassin-class disappeared. The Servant took out another one of his dirks, and for the second time, stabbed himself in his stomach. He coughed and blood poured out from his mouth freely.

"What-?" Emiya's eyes widened in fear and revulsion as the Hero, for one last time, gave his third order.

"By my third command seal, I command you, Assassin, to kill yourself." The final command seal glowed before it vanished from his forearm. The Assassin groaned in woe before he took out his third dirk and stabbed his own neck. Blood sprayed out of his open wound like a fountain.

The Servant swayed before he fell to the ground with a loud thud. "Thank...you...Master...for using...me." the Assassin uttered in misery before he burst into golden light and disappear forever.

I'm so sorry, Assassin, please forgive me. Mark said with lament before he looked down at Emiya and frowned in anger.

"You spoke of heroism, but you don't know what it truly means! A true hero is willing to sacrifice everything in order to save and serve the world. A true hero is willing to give up everything for the sake of the betterment of the world, even if he has to give up his humanity!" Mark cast his mask at him and added more. "My wish shall bring peace to all life forms forever and I'm willing to give up everything for it. However, I am also a Grail to someone, to the Lesser Grail herself, and as a Hero...I will help her fulfill her purpose."

'Her'...don't tell me! Emiya immediately knew who Mark was implying to. He wanted to ask him more but the Hero turned his back at them and was about to hover away when a shiny glint reflected in his eyes.

I'm going to leave. Mark had no more plans for the group. It was clear that he had won the war and now he would proceed to the next part of his plan. Time to meet Illya 2- Suddenly, the Hero's eyes widened in alert as his senses perked up. He shuffled to his left, evading the familiar Excalibur sword, which grazed his right cheek. "What-!?" Mark felt the burning pain on his cheek. He darted black eyes below and locked them on the Trollhunter, who was now standing straight, his blue eyes gazing at Invincible with valor.

"I will stop you, Mark!" Jim declared with determination, spitting blood to the air while he ignored the pain from his injury.

That look. Invincible's eyes changed into a startled and frightened one. Jim's eyes were filled with fury, but not out of anger or bitterness. It was pure courage. What had terrified Mark, however, was that the boy's look was so familiar to his own. And then he realized why. The Trollhunter was displaying the same look that Mark had when he faced and ended the reign of the cruel Emperor of Viltrumites, Emperor Thragg. Invincible remembered it clearly, and now he felt its impact for he was now on the receiving end of such an expression.

"I will stop you...and I will save you from your wish!" Jim declared resolutely as he bore his fangs at Invincible. Mark hovered back a bit, a doomed look forming on his face as his expressionless facade crumbled apart.

Invincible blinked his eyes, making him snap back to reality before he turned his back at him and flew away at a dashing speed.

I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry! Invincible wanted to apologize and beg for the boy's forgiveness, but he had no choice. He was the winner. His wish would soon be fulfilled. A new world where Viltrumites, Humans and every other lifeform living in peace would soon be born.

"I am now...the villain of this story." Invincible muttered and finally realized what he had become. He felt ashamed and tears started to pour out of his eyes. He increased his flight speed and vanished into the dark night.

Hello everyone, Again, you're free to leave reviews on where should I improve my grammar and story buildup for this fanfic. You can also post suggestions on how this story could end.

However, may I ask to the one who will read this chapter. How was it? Do you all like what had happened? I was planning for Saber to be killed in the end but I think its much cooler if Invincible faced Jim in the end. Their battle would be the last. I do feel bad for the Assassin Servant though, but I understand as to why Mark did that. Anyways, feel free to leave reviews, Thinker out!
