Sonic/Grand Order
Devil's Building Climber
*Inside The Singularity*
"*Wearing The Same Halloween Outfit Again* And here we are, Yan. Halloween has officially begun for the third time! Pumpkins everywhere, decorations, costumes, what else can you think of?" Sonic said
"This place smashes! What do you say we stop by the bar for a drink, Master?" Yan Qing asks
"Sorry, but drinking isn't my favorite thing to do," Sonic replied
"Oh, come on, Sonic, I'm sure just one won't hurt you! Huh? What's all the commotion? It sounds like someone is being chased?" Yan Qing said
"*Hears Cries Of Help* Yea, you're right! I do hear sounds of someone being chased." Sonic replied
"Oh, no! Even MORE of them! HELP! *Wasn't Looking And Slams Toward's Sonic, Both Falling On The Ground* O.W.!"
"OOF!"
"Eep! Gomenasorry! I'm a princess, and I'm being chased!" The female apologizing
"*Look's Behind The Girl And Notices Several Knights Chasing After Her* What's up with the knights again? What did you do? *Hears More Shouting* Huh?" Sonic confuse
"Help! HEEELLLP MEEEEE! SAVE ME, BLUE!" Elizabeth cried out
"What the?! Elizabeth?!" Sonic suprise
"This way, El-El!"
"Batty! Crap, they caught up to us! What're we going to do!?" Elizabeth panicked
"I dunno! Imma princess! I'm going to ask this rando animal I ran into for help like princesses do!"
"Sonic! That's MY SONIC!" Elizabeth replied
"In the name of our new ruler, you're under arrest- *Notices Sonic Standing In Front Of Them* No. No! NO! That animal has returned to send us flying away from this place! New plan! Fall back! Fall back! We can't go up against that creature and his speed!" Halloween Knight Commanded As Everyone Else Begins To Run Away As Well
"And there they go, just your presence scared them away," Yan said
"Hehe! Glad they haven't forgotten about me since last year. I must be well known to this place by now." Sonic replied
"Sonic! I knew I could count on you! But please, help me again, please! I'm begging you!" Elizabeth begged
"What?! Did you say, Sonic?! Don't go all out crazy spreading rumors and stuff! Sonic, The Hedgehog, is a fictional character! He doesn't exist!"
"What are you talking about? He's real and right in front of us! He's also my Master!" Elizabeth said
"I think you are mistaken, miss. This is indeed the real Sonic The Hedgehog. The self-proclaimed, Fastest Hedgehog ever." Yan Qing said
"Hold on! The running is making my mind crazy. *Clears Her For A Second And Looks At Sonic. Who Was Standing There And Give Her A Peace Sign* OH MY GOD! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! YOU ARE SONIC THE HEDGEHOG! OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD! YOU ARE REAL!"
"Hahaha! Hey there! Always nice to meet fans of yours once in a while. Nice to meet you!" Sonic said
"NO WAY! HE CAN TALK AS WELL! OH MY GOD! YOU HAVE THE VOICE OF J.G.! P-Please! Can I get an autograph from you?!"
"I don't know who this J.G. person is, but I'll still sign an autograph for you! But I don't have a pen or paper to do that." Sonic replied
"Can you do your catchphrase? How did it go again? I think it went, "You're Too Slow!"
"Anyway, Blue, What am I going to do!? Someone stole Castle Csejte from me AGAIN!" Elizabeth said
"Isn't that a suprise? Alright, who's this person that's ruling once again? I know it isn't Cleopatra since I saw her at Chaldea fixing the place up for the Halloween party again." Sonic asks
"Oh, I forgot about that! It's a new ruler! Just look up. Do you see that jumbled-looking fortress?"
"*Look's Up And Notices Another Building On Top Of The Castle And Pyramid* Ah, now I see," Sonic said
"That Japanese castle there is my home. It was my sanctuary, and now it has been taken away from me."
"I see. Well, don't worry... Uh, what's your name?" Sonic confuse
"I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? Ahem, ahem. My remote abode is a castle of the heavens, stark and snowy as a heron. I am an incarnation of the bat whose favorite time of day is twilight. I am known far and wide as the Hachitendou of the Hakuro Castle. My True Name is Osakabehime. I am, of course, a Servant. An Assassin, to be exact. Oh, Sonic The Hedgehog! One of gaming's most prominent icons! Please, I beg of you; take back my beloved Himeji Castle. Like how you took down your enemies from the SEGA Geninies to [REDACTED]. I beg of you to save my home." Osakabehime said
"And don't forget my Castle Csejte while you're at it!"
"You have to defeat Mecha Eli-chan!" Elizabeth and Osakabehime said
"*Smiles And Gives Them A Thumbs Up* Let's do this!" Sonic replied
"Just like your video game counterpart. I knew I could trust you, Sonikku! In case you didn't know, that's your name in Japanese! Don't you think it sounds much cuter than "Master"?" Osakabehime asks
"I would've you rather call me either Sonic or Ogilvie Maurice," Sonic replied
"You don't like when people nickname with weird suggestions? Okay, I'll stick with Sonic The Hedgehog or Sonic. That should be daijoubu, right?" Osakabehime said
"And I will keep calling you Little Blue like always," Elizabeth said
"Anyway, why'd you two get kicked out anyway?" Yan asks
Osakabehime's Story
"I guess we should start at the beginning. I will regale you with a tragic tale of woe that will have tears streaming down your cheeks in raging waterfalls of sympathetic sadness! Now sit back, Heroes, and hear my story of infinite sadness. I have been locked up in this keep, forced to while away my days in idleness. All I can do now is read books and draw. And sign papers for my occasional visitor. But that's okay. If people fear me, I will happily live my days locked away. Oooh, these new figure imports are so great! I can't wait to paint them! Yay, I have the WHOLE space pirate fleet! Woohoo! Now it's time to play with them! *Places Shake* Huh? Why is everything shaking? Huh? Oh no. Don't tell me we're... floating!? *Building Falls* Now we're faaalliiing! Omigodomigodomigod, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, AAAAAAHHH! I'M GONNA DIIIEEE!"
"Eli-ly-ly-ly!"
"Huh? Who the heck are you? What're you doing here!?" Osakabehime shock
"I am Mecha Eli-chan! I am here to devour your intestines! Or perhaps I will turn you into a wax sculpture! Or have you committed a fatal typographical error!" Mecha Eli-Chan replied
"Aaaaaahhh! Not that! Aaanything but thaaat!"
"*Stares At Yan Qing With A Confuse Look On Their Faces* Right..." Sonic said
"C-come on! I mean, I might've chotto embellished Mecha Eli-chan's character. But she pretty much attacked the second she saw me! I didn't have time to try and hash it out with her! So I just jazzed up my retelling a bit!" Osakabehime said
"I can explain why Mecha Eli-chan showed up! So sit back and let my words wash over you like sweet music!" Elizabeth said
Elizabeth's Story
"What are we going to do, Eli, the great and perfect idol, beloved in all the land!? Our precious castles have been combined and unified! On top of that, there's a pyramid in between them, so it's also like a Csejte and Himeji pyramid sandwich!"
"Heh, worry not, Batty, a girl who fell from the sky along with Himeji Castle! Let's have a nice hot cup of tea like civilized people while I assess our situation. If a genius like me can't figure it out, then not even Chiron of Greece could figure it out, either!"
"Good day, magnificent Csejte. My name is Mecha Eli-chan. I appeared in this world to defeat you because I'm jealous of your overwhelming cuteness!" Mecha Eli-Chan said
"Just because I'm cute!? I grant you that it is a mystery, one of the world's wonders! It seems it is a riddle that only I didn't understand!" Elizabeth replied
"You speak the truth. And now you must pay for your criminally cute, gorgeous body with your life!"
"Why did I have to be born with such a burden!? *Get's Hit* Ow, seriously, that hurts! C-cut it out! Don't try to ruin my heaven-sent cuteness!" Elizabeth shouted
"Now Csejte is mine. I will use it as a base from which to expand my mechanical empire. H.A.! H.A.! H.A.!"
"*Scrtachiung Head* So you're telling me that this Mecha flew out of the sky and kicked you out?" Sonic said
"That's what I've been trying to say! No reason whatsoever! You don't have any idea either, right, Batty?" Elizabeth said
"N-no, I don't think so."
"What's with the constant eyes looking around and not straight?" Sonic confuse
"Yametekudastop, Sonic! I-I-I don't know what you're talking about! Come on. You are Sonic The Hedgehog! You are here not to question anything and just save the day like any other adventure you went through! Aren't you my savior?!" Osakabehime said
"I guess I have a choice but to continue this mission," Sonic replied
"There we go. That's more like it. In that case, I'd say our goals are aligned, wouldn't you? So please get our castles back for us, Sonic! Or should I say, Master!" Osakabehime said
"Well, let's get going and go talk to this Mecha-"
"That won't be necessary, Sonic The Hedgehog. *Appears And Lands In Front Of The Group* Based on your reaction, you're used to seeing robots in front of, right?" Mecha Eli-Chan said
"So this is the robot you are talking about, you two? Hey, Elizabeth, it looks like we both have robot clones of ourselves now! Metal Sonic and Metal Elizabeth. Who would've thought?" Sonic replied
"You aren't taking this seriously, aren't you, Sonic?" Olga said
"Years of battling robots, you start getting bored of it. That's why it was nice to be fighting different enemies during my time here. "Sonic replied
"Are you trying to say that I'm just a piece of garbage to you? For the record, my name is Magus Aegis Elisabeth Channel. But you may call me "Mecha Eli-chan" for short." Mecha Eli-Chan said
"We kinda figured out that before," Sonic replied
"Pfft, all the abdominal exercises in the world couldn't prepare my sides for something this funny! Ahahaha!"
"Come to think of it. That version of me ISN'T the brightest bulb in the box." Elizabeth said
"You stupid lizard! I chose to emphasize "mecha," as it's jargon that is commonly known and easily understood. Plus, it highlights the beauty of my polished steel body." Mecha Eli-Chan replied
"Well, I will admit. Your design is much better than any of Egghead's lame designs." Sonic said
"Thank you, Sonic. Now then. Osakabehime, ex-Lady Elisabeth, let me give you a chance to do this the easy way. I will show you mercy if you turn yourselves in now and demonstrate remorse for your careless ways. Specifically, I will let you repaint your former castles as part of your one-year compulsory labor sentence. Since you used to live in these castles, I am sure you will carry out your tasks with all due gratitude." Mecha Eli-Chan said
"NOT!"
"My Castle Csejte is already the perfect color!"
"Very well then. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. *Fires Heat Seeking Rays At Elizabeth*."
"Aah! Eeh, ooh, aah! H-h-help me, Batty!" Elizabeth said
"Move over, El-El!"
"Well, this is a surprise. I wasn't expecting a princess to do more than provide a bit of backup at best. But you did a damn good job of protecting her!" Yan said
"Oh, uh, I mean. Ahem. Ah, ah, ah. Waaah, I don't want to fight. Please save me, Master."
"Hey, you can just do that to someone like Osakabehime who hasn't done anything to you! *Dashes Towards Mecha Eli-Chan But Was Blocked By One Hand Of Her And Throws Him Back Towards The Group* Huh?!"
"*Turns Her Hands Into Machine Guns And Fires At The Group, All Dodging The Bullets That Zoomed Pass Them* I'm sorry, Sonic. Do you genuinely wish to take back Himeji Castle? Then will you try and take it back with their help? Because I can assure you, we are prepared for anything you might attempt. If you truly long for your castle, now is the time to show the strength of your conviction. Oh, by the way, I should let you know that I had all the gates welded shut since I can just fly. Well, farewell, everyone. I hope you have a wonderful day with lots of fulfilling labor. *Flies Away*."
"*Watching Mecha Fly Away* *Deep Sigh* Does she know this is the third time I've been through such a Halloween adventure? We already know where this is going, right?" Sonic said
"Which is why we trust in you. Based on your plot armor on this story. No matter how much of a disadvantage you are in. Fate always ensures that you always win. No matter the situation." Osakabehime replied
"Seriously? And how do you know?" Sonic said
"Have you not been tracking your battle win numbers? I also played your games as well! Like I said. All I do is relax and take it easy all day. And I'm on the internet all day as well!" Osakabehime replied
"Is that so? You Japanese princesses sure have a lot of time on your hands, huh? That sucks. Of course, as ruler of the castle and idol, the idea of having that much time to lounge around does have its appeal! Too bad I'm so busy every day!" Elizabeth said
"I don't believe in Fate like that. I just do what I think what's right." Sonic replied
"Alright, let's test Sonic's Fate and see if Fate truly wants Sonic to win each time. Let's just get going." Yan said
"No wonder he became a Master in the first place!" Olga, Da Vinci, And Mash all said
"I have a report to make."
"Have they begun to scale the walls?"
"Your Majesty, they didn't scale the wall. They went through the entrance of the castle's door gate and entered inside normally. The Knights guarding the entrance didn't want to deal with Sonic, so they allowed him and his team to enter inside." Halloween Knight said
"So it seems Sonic has a key to the castle as well. I didn't see that coming to be honest. Either way, Carmilla can deal with them." Mecha Eli-Chan replied
"But, Your Majesty, you should know Sonic at this point already. No matter who he's up against, he always finds a way to win and continue his adventure. You may have more features than him, but Fate isn't working with you." Halloween Knight said
"If you think Fate doesn't, Fate isn't working alongside beauty. Then you are punished for such thoughtfulness. How repulsive." Mecha Eli-Chan replied
*With Sonic And The Others*
"Do I dare need to ask why you returned here a third time, Sonic?" Carmilla asks
"Well, it's the same destination every year. It happened with Celo and now with Mecha Eli." Sonic replied
"Why're you obeying Mecha Eli-chan?" Elizabeth said
"Because I fought her, and I lost. She is absurdly strong. Allowing her to rule over Csejte simply seems sensible. The mechanical you are impartial, ethical, and ruthless. She never lets personal feelings interfere, no matter who she may be dealing with. She is more than qualified to stand above all. Plus, she doesn't suffer from chronic headaches as you do. And since she is me, I barely feel as though I am obeying her. Which is something I cannot say for the real you." Carmilla replied
"I-I've been taking my job seriously, too, you know!" Elizabeth said
"You know, that "lately" part makes it sound like you're feeling a little guilty, El-El," Osakabehime said
"You are absentminded and unstable. As the legends said, you would have made a fine vampire a few more years. But instead, you ended up becoming a dragon, of all things. Thanks to the blood you got from that real monster, you've become something far removed from the innocent myths about you. Back when I was you, I was not as headstrong as you are. Then again, perhaps I was never quite the same as you. Well, no matter. At any rate, if you wish to ascend beyond this point, you will need to defeat me first. Be warned. My torture instruments are honed and ready. How much blood are you prepared to shed?" Carmilla said
"Little Blue! Are you ready to take him on- *Notices That Sonic Was Gone* Huh? Where did Sonic go?" Elizabeth said
"Did he just ditch us and give us the finger?!" Osakabehime said
"*Returns Back with The Group, Runs ASround Carmilla, And Ties Her Around With The Rope He Found* Carmilla, you know at this point that violence isn't always the answer," Sonic said
"What?! Sonic? How did you manage to tie me without me knowing?!" Carmilla shock
"I decided to take advantage of your long speech with Elizabeth, so I just sped around the building and managed to find some to use and tie you. Now you won't be hurting anyone for a while." Sonic replied
"No fair, Hedgehog! How many times are you going to keep doing this?" Carmilla said
"Come on, Carmilla, you were one of the first people I met ever since I arrived and went inside Orleans. And yet this still happens." Sonic replied
"I also go way back as well! It's been three years since I met Sonic as well!" Elizabeth said
"Fate helps Sonic once again. But this is just only the beginning." Yan said
"So you three have quite the history knowing each other. How adorable. *Appears*."
"Wu? What the heck are you doing here?" Sonic confuse
"W-Wu? I'm sorry, Sonic. But I don't know about such a Wu name. My name is Nite-Brite! It has a genuinely adorable ring to it. Nite-Brite, Nite-Brite! *Norices Sonic Unimpressed Expression* Hey, at least react to my introduction. I read the script several times over. Anyway, Carmilla, I see that you are tied up in rope. Did Sonic stop you before you began fighting them?" Nite-Brite replied
"You have so much to learn against that Hedgehog. I would simmer down on the trash talking before Sonic is your next target." Carmilla said
"She always is his next target! You are on Mecha-Eli Chan's side, for sakes!" Elizabeth shouted
"Let's just let these handles this situation and go further into this. The next location is the Pyramid." Sonic said
"Oh, already leaving me without such as talking to us? That's too bad. I wanted to know more about you." Nite-Brite said
"You are already in Chaldea with us. I think you know pretty well by now. As well as Carmilla for the past three years. *Walks Away With The Others*." Sonic replied
*At The Pyramid*
Eventually, the four made their way into the inverted Pyramid right above the castle.
"Keh heh heh! Welcome back, Sonic and friends! Didn't expect me to arrive here so early, huh?" Nite-Brite said
"We felt about that while we made our way over here," Sonic replied
"So you can sense me out, how adorable," Nite-Brite said
"Who're you talking about? This little Princess doesn't have a clue!" Osakabehime said
"You need more training if YOU want to pass for a princess. Trust me. I know what I'm talking about! I rose to the position of empress from humble beginnings, you know! No matter how you dress it up, you cannot hide the fact that you lack experience." Nite-Brite replied
"Yes, I would agree with that. Your mannerisms are rather stilted. What do you make of it, O famous Cobra Queen?" Carmilla said
"My name is Cleopatra! I have no association with cobras whatsoever! Huh? You're asking why there's a cobra next to me? An excellent question! Insolent, but spot-on! Complimenting a lady on her choice of accessories is never a bad idea! As far as I can tell, this so-called Princess is a fake! Hohoho, you can feign innocence all you like, but you cannot hide your fundamental lack of character! You know of what I speak, do you not, Sonic?" Cleopatra asks
"Can you just let us pass? I have no intention of fighting or judging anyone today. I just need to clear this place so I can return to Chaldea and help everyone with the Halloween party. Plus, you already know what happened last year. It's the same thing again. Minus, we're up against some giant robot." Sonic replied
"Quite the response there. But I suppose you are correct and have already gone through it several times. The only reason why I'm under Mecha's rule is that I am merely doing what she tells me because, for some reason, I cannot seem to refuse! I am simply cooperating with her as part of a business arrangement. Mecha Eli-chan has some excellent architectural skills. Her abundance of training gear alone was most impressive. Treadmills. Tanning booths. Low-calorie gruel. Fat-burning electroshock equipment. With facilities like that, I could finally bring back you-know-who's good looks! I am only working with Mecha Eli-chan to make that precious dream a reality!" Cleopatra said
"What are you talking about? We have those here at Chaldea. A Chaldea Gym, tanning booth, and healthy food diets. And you requested such things, and we still did it either way. And you are helping Caesar with his weight loss journey." Olga said
"Fou!"
"Fuyaaah!"
"Ah, right. You are not a fan of cats, are you, Nite-Brite?" Carmilla said
"I fail to understand how you can be fine with snakes but helpless around cats, Nite-Brite."
"Transmission or not, a cat is still a cat! Your little furball! I'll hang you upside down and have your guts for garters!" Nite-Brite said
"Fouuu! (You're the same as the Wu Zetain Here At Chaldea!)." Fou said
"Grah! Come Carmilla, Cleopatra! Let us show these insolent fools our Triple Empress Torture Stream!" Nite-Brite said
"I might be an empress, but I'm not into torture!" Cleopatra replied
"We are walking into a deathtrap if you wanna challenge Sonic. So I suggest you second guess your action." Carmilla said
Moments later, Cleopatra, Carmilla, Nite-Brite, Oskabehime, and Elizabeth all charged and began fighting each other. Sonic and Yan Qing watched from behind the female Servants battling for the title of Princess, mostly Osakabehime. The Queens battled against each other for the battle of being the one better than all as each Servant used their skills to attack one another while pulling each other's hair in the process. Sonic and Yan were talking about music while the female servants were currently dealing with their problems. Eventually,
"What a colossal failure. Where did I go wrong?" Nite-Brite said
"Hmm. If I had to guess, I'd say we shouldn't have chosen this battle for our first team up." Cleopatra said
"Indeed. I was never even told ahead that we WOULD be teaming up." Carmilla said
"I admit it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but I thought it would work," Nite-Brite said
"Jerk! Idiot! Dummy! Come on. We're almost to my tower! Soon we'll have both our sanctuaries back!" Osakabehime said
"Yeah, that reminds me. Once we take back your tower, will you be able to get Himeji Castle off my castle?" Elizabeth said
"Uhh... Yee... I don't know why it even ended up here myself, so..."
"Figures. Just because you're the castle's lord doesn't mean you would have a Noble Phantasm that could move it. I bet only emperor Heroic Spirits can do that kind of thing. Oh well, we can figure out how to float it off later. Maybe we'll find another Holy Grail fragment lying somewhere!" Elizabeth said
"Anyway, this tower place should be easier to climb than the others. Let's go check it out, Master!" Yan said
"Let's just get this over with," Sonic said
*Later*
"I'm picking up Mecha Eli-chan's signal. It looks like this will be the final battle. Still, I feel like we have a lot of loose ends that need tying up. For example, we never found out who Mecha Eli-chan is. What I.S. she, anyway?" Mash said
"It's like the equivalent of Metal Sonic and me. But the difference is that Eli speaks while Metal is usually static. And he's weaker. And dumber. You know what, I'm just insulting myself at this point." Sonic replied
"That's what I was thinking, more Metal than Robo," Yan said
"Well, she isn't. If there's one thing I'm not, it's a laborer." Elizabeth said
"The word "robot" comes from a play called "Rossum's Universal Robots" written by Karel Čapek, a Czechoslovakian novelist. It has many uses today, so people tend to forget its original meaning. Originally, the word meant "forced labor." I believe that is what Elisabeth was referring to." Mash explained
"Wow, Mash, you learned a lot when I was gone for a year. I'm glad you taught yourself well." Olga said
"She's a one-of-a-kind." Da Vinci said
"Damn, you serious? Didn't figure you for much of a reader there, dragon girl." Yan said
"Of course I am. I'm the daughter of a baron. I must've spent half my waking hours poring over books. My natural curiosity didn't die just because I became a Heroic Spirit! Why do you think I get so many headaches?" Elizabeth said
"I see. So that's how you learned what an idol is. It's all starting to make sense!" Mash said
"That's right. I can't remember why I initially thought of becoming an idol. But I know that a job whose sole purpose was to bask in the love and adoration of people everywhere never existed in my own time. It's no exaggeration to say learning about idols saved my life. Once I did, I knew that was my calling. I believe it's the most excellent job in existence, one worth clawing my way to the top for. As a Heroic Spirit, I'm no longer restricted to being a high-ranking lady. I still am one, of course, but I'm also my people's idol, there to bring joy to their lives. Otherwise, I couldn't even manifest in this form. But Mecha Eli-chan's more, well. She's more "me." I mean, the me I used to be. More innocent, back when all I knew was obligation and duty. But in that case, she should look like Carmilla, not me. Then she'd be Mecharmilla, which sounds way better!" Elizabeth said
*Inside Himeji Castle*
"So this is your castle, right?" Sonic said
"When did she redecorate it so horribly!?" Osakabehime shock
"Allow me to answer. That mural masterpiece is my creation. I inkjet-printed it using previous Halloween records for reference. Subject matter aside, I think it turned out to be quite a lovely work of art, don't you? What's more, these folding screens serve as both records and evidence. They are an epic poem that tells everyone who visits the story of Csejte Halloween." Mecha Eli-Chan said
"What purpose do you you have anyway in this castle? This is the third time someone messed with Elizabeth's castle." Sonic asks
"Elizabeth and Carmilla are unfit to rule. So it is up to me to keep Csejte safe. It may be a bit dystopian, but it's a necessary sacrifice for my people's sake." Mecha Eli-Chan replied
"A machine rebellion! First, everyone gets a cell phone. Then their O.S.s start rising against us! I knew that was your diabolical scheme! You want to take over the Sekai!"
"Securing a stable food supply is the first order of business. Civilization inevitably declines if everyone pursues nothing but hedonistic pleasures. Fiefs raise children. Lords raise land. Now then. I believe the time is right. Ahem. These folding screens are the answer to everything. They show why I am right and stand in testament to my unrivaled beauty! But none of you have any future whatsoever. Why did you ask? Because I am about to erase you from existence. As the Steel Demoness, I shall sentence traitors to feel the burn of my flame breath and castle climbers to taste the spiciness of my missiles! As Csejte's rightful ruler, I will purge you all!" Mecha Eli-Chan said
"Okay, now all of that you practiced before we arrived here. But still, I have a history of taking on robots. To me, you are nothing!" Sonic said
Moments later, Sonic dashes toward Mecha Eli, curls into a ball, and homing attacks her at different angles of her metal body. Mecha turns her hands into machines gun and fires at Sonic while he dodges the bullets easily while running around. As Mecha continues firing at Sonic, Yan lunges toward Mecha Eli and unleashes several powerful punches across Mecha's metal body, dealing quite a good amount of damage to her. Mecha Eli punches Yan, colliding fists together and causing a shockwave that shakes the area around them. Moments later, an origami horse appears as Osakabehime jumps on top of Mecha Eli and stomps on her body multiple times, dealing tons of damage to her. Elizabeth then lunges toward Mecha Eli as she swings her lance across, pushes her away, and strikes her soon after. Sonic then performs a boosting move straight towards Mecha Eli and sends her flying several feet away, causing damage to her body.
"Impossible. I was reevaluating enemy forces. Mortal danger confirmed. They were changing mode to Anti-Army and overriding acquired targets to humanoid life forms. Authorization denied authorization denied, authorization granted. Unlocking personal Anti-Army Noble Phantasm: Breast Zero Erzsébet!" Mecha Eli-Chan said
"She's about to hit you with everything she has! Sonic!"
"On it!" Sonic replied
Sonic runs around Mecha Eli-Chan and generates heat long enough until her body engulfs in fire and burns immensely. Sonic continues running around Mecha Eli at light speed while the heat rises quickly and burns Mecha Eli's metal body. Mecha Eli could sense the heat around her body as she tried to extinguish the fire with her frozen breath. Elizabeth suddenly rushed towards her and slashed her lance across her body, and her body began to malfunction.
"Combat systems: inoperable. Retreat: impossible. Communications: incapacitated. Hard as it is to believe, it seems...I have lost. *Falls To The Ground While Engulfed In Flames*."
"D-Did I go a little too far?" Sonic said
"Although she's caught on fire. It looks like she's just been incapacitated. Her Spirit Origin hasn't disappeared. So you didn't go too far, Senpai." Mash replied
"Phew, thank goodness. Now I don't have to feel bad about involving her in this. Bleh, I hate being so timid. Anyway, I'm off to my room. Come on, Master, I'll let you see my secret." Osakabehime said
*Osakabehime's Room*
"Tadai'm home... finally!" Osakabehime excited
Sonic look's around Osakabehime's room and notices the number of items she owns. From figures of some of the members back at Chaldea, a plushy based on Musashi, monitors and a drawing tablet, several piles of games with a few of them including his plays from the past years, and an exclusive poster of all the Sonic/Grand Order characters that have appeared like the Sonic, Da Vinci, Mash, Olga, and all the Servants that have appeared in the story. Espieallcy Tiamat and Sita included. And several rare items, all in Osakabehime's possession.
"*Whistles* This is quite the room, Osakabehime. And I appreciate it owing copies of some of my games. Especially 2006 one. Sorry about that one." Sonic said
"No need to worry about that. I understand your pain on that one. Oh, my sanctuary, how I've missed you! Computer: check! Books: check! All collectibles are present and accounted for! Yes, yes, yes! Everything's perfect!" Osakabehime said
"How does she have a poster with all of us included?!" Mash shock
"Don't worry. I was the one who drew that. Each time someone new appears, I also draw them on the poster. Including the event Servants part of it as well. I'll make sure to give you a copy later." Osakabehime said
"I guess this was a way to let you return to your room, Right?" Sonic asks
"Just seeing one of gaming's biggest icons inside my room and checking out my stuff is amazing! I should post this on social media so everyone can see!" Osakabehime said
"I'm amazed you can stand to be in this room. It's so messy in here. However, I do look cute in that drawing alongside my other self. Including tattoo, man is in there as well!" Elizabeth said
"I bet you keep your room pretty sparse, don't you, Master? Rather minimalist, only holding onto the bare essentials. That sort of thing. That's the kind of room where you like to relax and make out with Servants, right?" Osakabehime asks
"I don't mind with the room design. As long as I have a room, then I'm golden! *Notices Something Glowing* Um, what is that thing glowing?" Sonic replied
"Ah HA! YOU Found it! *Takes Out Holy Grail* You probably all figured that out already, so I may as well tell you. This Holy Grail is all mine. Though I just happened to acquire it by sheer luck." Osakabehime said
"There's a lot that doesn't add up, but I guess the most important question is: what did you wish for?" Mash ask
"Well, this is me we're talking about, so I wished that I could hole up inside it," Osakabehime replied
"Now that you mention it, I recall you having a reputation as a shut-in among the Eastern Heroic Spirits. Tamamo and Kiyohime weren't exactly shy about sharing that, so all of Chaldea's Servants know." Da Vinci said
"RUDE!"
"I still don't understand. If you wanted to hole up in a Holy Grail, why did you end up here in Csejte?"
"That's because Csejte is the best place in the world to hole up in. That's only because El-El's here. But what if she wasn't?" Osakabehime said
"Well, since this year's Halloween preparations are all done, I imagine Halloween would begin without a hitch. And the Singularity would quickly go away since it would no longer be able to maintain itself." Mash said
"Right you are! I knew you'd figure it out, Mash! Now, what would the people of Csejte be doing during Halloween?" Osakabehime ask
"Naturally, they'd be enjoying it. It's a special celebration that breaks from their usual busy routines. After all." Mash replied
"Master! What would happen if Halloween never ended?" Osakabehime said
"Oh, Osakabehime, please don't tell me-"
"That's right! The celebration would just keep going."
"You used an actual Holy Grail just so you could shut yourself in your room and never have to work...forever!?"
"That's right. All I wanted was to have my little safe space forever and ever! All these books and electronics might look pitiful to you, but to me, they're everything. I'm nothing like you, Elisabeth. You hated being confined. Every fiber of your being rejected is being ignored. Your living self must have been melancholy when she died." Osakabehime said
"I chose to be locked up."
"I'm a castle apparition, remember? I literally can't survive if I'm not inside a castle. But now that I'm a Servant, they say I have to go out into the outside world? That's terrifying. No matter how hard I tried, I could never shake my fear of it. You've never had to worry about that sort of thing, Tamamo talks a good game, but she's just fooling herself." Osakabehime said
"Well, I do enjoy a good fight. But everyone's got things they're good at and not, right? Hell, that's where the whole strategic aspect of Holy Grail Wars comes into play." Elizabeth said
"That's true, isn't it? Anyway, I'll admit I'm a little scared of what I'm about to do, but! *The Ground begins To Shake* Now, the true guardian that sleeps beneath Csejte...with the power of this Holy Grail, I command you to rise!" Osakabehime shouted
