My oh my... time to get some bad rep by still writting this even though i have just started the septem singularity while also missing getting Jalter Berserker cause i didn't realise her gring was... kinda fucking long.
So to further boost whatever the fuck i'm filling right now i finished this after an... intense momment realising my fuck up, Luckily life loves me and i got jeanne Archer for no fucking reason but it's a good thing to have i guess.
Anyway here is the next part fam, i may or may not change things so that in case i made a fuck up (we all know what fuck up that is) make sense in the future and hopefully make this vereable to the people that care about the wacky lore of fate and how sometimes it can make no fucking sense and stuff like that.
Will i succed or blow up?, probably both knowing me.
I scanned around the room quickly, Shirou and Rin seem fine the only thing of note is that the red head seemed to be a little out of breath, Cauless and Fiore are fine behind me while Olga has yet to react at all... that's gonna become a even bigger problem down the line that much i can tell.
But the bigges concern right now is Kairi, that guy was the only one without some big defence between him and the explosion, i glanced at Cauless and Fiore "look after Olga, i'll go check on Sisigou" i ordered, we are part of a secret organization after all we need to act the part sometimes.
Jogging towards the Coffin he took cover in i saw it was mostly destroyed and he was bleeding a little from his head "concussion?" i asked out loud, he is a necromancer... he must know how bodies should be like.
He groaned and got up from the floor, i offered him hand wich he gladly took "nothing major, just a scratch really... but i was at the far back of the explossion if i had entered the coffin" yeah no need to tell me that.
Well Olga isn't gonna get out of her shock, and i really don't think telling her that Lev was the one who did this is gonna be better than her believing he's dead, guess that makes me the temporary boss of the opperation "alright then, hear me out all of you, the... Forvedge brothers are gonna take the Director to the enfermary or her room, after that one stay close to her and keep and eye on her, the other will check out other areas of Chaldea and make sure they didn't suffer the same fate, Sisigou you seem to be in nice enough shape look for Dr. Roman he is literally the next biggest deal after Olga and me, we need to make sure he is still alive and Kicking, Tohsaka, Emiya and myself will look for any survivors" i wasn't the best at being a leader, but i had to make due really.
"right then, careful with the fire" said Kairi and quickly left through the door, while Cauless was helping Olga walk along like a zombie Fiore approached me.
She is also very serious "if other areas of Chaldea have been affected, what should we do?" now that's a tricky question.
"save as many survivors as possible... i have a felling we'll need the extra help in the near future" she nodded and her chair became four mechanical arms, well i guess she'll move faster that way.
I noticed Shirou and Rin approaching me "let's go then" i said and while we were looking through the Coffins i noticed how Rin was trying her best to keep me in her field of vision while Shirou was trying really hard to open on coffin... yeah about that.
"stop Emiya, you could put the person inside in danger, there is a small screen on the left of all Coffins meant to tell their condition, just in case you are in the room and not in the command room... of course if they are broken then we can only hope for the best" i told him while checking one of said screens, status critical.
"what does it help if they survived if we can't help them?" asked Shirou, he was most likely frustrated and with good reason.
Rin sighed "the Cryo sleep feature there is in the coffins, i thought you payed attention to the meeting Emiya" ah so he was spacing out too, well no matter Rin got it right.
"yeah, if we can tell they are alive we could use that feature to give us a chance to save them, of course this is not a perfect solution but it's what we have..." i trailed off when i saw someone under a metal pillar, that's Mashu.
Shirou noticing this turned around and instantly ran to help her, Rin exasperated went to help her, i heard the door behind us open to see Kairi along with Ritsuka and Roman "about fucking time..." i muttered under my breath.
I jogged towards them while Romani released a breath of relief "thank god there are survivors here..." yeah no time to feel good buddy.
"sorry Roman but you need to go to the emergency room and activate the Cryo sleep protocol from there, the comman room pretty much exploded and we have no way to treat the injured Masters inside the coffins without prying them open and probably killing them in the process" i replied ruining his brief momment of peace.
"but what about the U.N?, won't they be againts-" i interrupted him before he could finish.
"they either complain about the dead people or the frozen but alive people, either way we lose" i because in politics you have to make with what you have and hope the other side doesn't have more than you.
He sighed an nodded "Kairi come with me, just in case we run into more areas affected by the attack" so not only here huh... expected.
"what can i do?" asked the very serious Ritsuka, kid has spunk i'll give her that much.
She took a step inside and the door fucking closed on us.
I heard the mechanical voice in Chaldea say something about master candidates and the reason the door was locked but i just kinda sighed and looked behind me to see Rin and Shirou struggling to lift up the metal pillar holding Mashu down, right reinforcement doesn't make them Servant strong or at least above E strenght or something.
"Come with me, no use trying to open the door Roman will take care of that" i decided to keep the 'probably' part to myself so that little Ritsuka didn't get a panic... now that i think about it she look's fine, most would be shaken by what's happening.
She dashed ahead of me and i simply raised an eyebrow, well i am being kinda lax about the whole thing... so i ran, i was already behind Shirou and Rin getting ahead of Ritsuka by quite the long shot and with my right hand... raised the pillar, Both Rin and Shirou let out a grunt of surprissed and glanced behind them seing me doing this with ease "maybe get the girl out of there instead of gawking?" they realised that and did as i just said while i was busy thinking about Olga screaming at me when i crush the door... wait did the Chaldea system just said Rayshift.
"oh... that can't be good" mutered ritsuka and i nodded, yeah this is gonna be a dosy... then again if we are going to the singularity it'll be a very good chance to actually find Lev and murder him dead.
"buckle up kid, we are about to go into a magical place" i replied at her, knowing full well that i should be taking this more seriously but chose not to for now, this is just a job for now... i'll have time for everything else once i'm done.
Rin glanced at me for a momment then settled with actually glaring at me "isn't the use of the coffins to make Rayshift safer for us?, how can you be so calm when it's going to happen directly on our real bodies?" nice question.
"cause we have literally no fucking choice, or are you going to make a functional coffin out of nothing?" i asked back and she simple grumbled about 'meat heads' or something.
Shirou not wanting any fights steped up "calm down Tohsaka, we should be fine..." i mean the Rayshift isn't the problem it's what we will find on the other side when it's done.
Mashu who was being held up by Shirou looked at Ritsuka and gently got off Shirou's hold who didn't try to keep her from moving herself "senpai... can i hold your hand?" is this really the time?, then again i'm not feeling what she is so who knows... maybe Mashu is affraid, or the other thing that isn't sensible at all.
Well we have Shirou and Rin here, the girl probably already know's this but our resident sword man may have not "by the by, that's Fuyuki City we are going to, try to not lose your minds if you see something bad" i told them right when we started glowing, i recieved yet another glare from Rin and a stupefied look from Shirou.
Then i was in this blue syphon thingy for about a minute... then in a flash i appeared in a rooftop, i looked down and saw that i was at the edge of the building, the house seems to be three stories high and i was really close to falling to the ground.
I glanced around the ruined city fire and brimstone and all that, Shirou must be having the biggest internal screa- where is everyone else?, did the fact that we didn't use the coffins have more side effects?, maybe.
No use dwelling on that, i have to look for those four before anything else... my best option is jumping from rooftop to rooftop, there are a lot of skeletons bellow me and i really don't want to deal with meaningless fights.
It was rather easy to le parkour over the buildings, what kinda was gratting me is that it was always fire, ashes, skeletons and literally nothing else i expected to see someone strugging for their lives at least once.
Glancing at my left i saw a forest and in the distance there was this mansion, the only mansion on a forest in this city i'm aware of is the Einzbern's, maybe i'll find something there?... i am going kinda aimless actually.
Let's just hope for the best i guess?, i jumped and landed on a tree branch and started Naruto jumping my way through them, but instead of havng my hands behind me i had them in my pockets... for no other reason that i'm just that lazy.
Once i reached the place and to the surprisse of nobody the place was up in flames, nothing... huh there is someone fighting skeleton in front of the flaming building, if memory works right that would be Leysritt, i only recognize her from the other one because this one has bigger bazzongas, well this may be a time wimey stuff but it would leave a bad taste in my mouth if i didn't help her.
So with a sigh i got of the treebranch i was standing on and the momment i landed on the ground i dashed foward right elbow up, and clenching my muscles other fact about my arms is that it makes me a master in martial arts for some reason... i kinda hate how vague my knowledge of the God Hand is but i can't deny how useful it is.
Oh and by the by.
Adamantine X Fire kata: Flashing Steel Blast.
A high speed move done while hardening the muscles and using the elbow to impact the enemy, you could say i'm a giant piece of metal moving at the speed of sound hitting someone else the skeleton i hit literally exploded into pieces leaving another two to deal with, kay then...
My left leg lashed out like if it was a halberd and destroyed the head of the skeleton to Leysritt right, she grabbed her own halberd and cut the last one from its shoulder to it's stomach dealing with it too.
I took a good look at the very dead inside Homoncolus that walked past me without saying nothing... the she just kinda kneeled in front of the building and stared at it, right this is awkward... i can't just ask if her dog was killed because even if she had one it would be true.
Umm... shit i'm not good with emotional momments, i barellyknew how to keep olga from becoming a drepressed mess after she found out about her curse, this is probably even worse than that and with a Homoncolus something that barelly understand it's own emotions.
Hell i was human and i barelly understood my own feelings!.
"what a nice da- fuck, i mean night" i hurriedly replied, i can have normal conversations just fine but this is a whole different deal, now it looks like i don't care... shit.
She glanced at me and just... stared "the city... is up in flames" her monotone voice pointed out and i chuckled nerveously.
"well the flames and the night sky make for a nice image- yeah i'm not good at this" i finished lamely and stoped trying to be understanding, at the end of the day i would make it worse with my horrible attempts better be blunt and hope for the best.
She tilted her head to the side "i... could see that" if i didn't know she was an Homoncolus i would think she was being sarcastic.
Right then, time to do this "so, what the fuck happened here?, everything is either dead or ash, a combination of both or a walking skeletton" she stared for a momment longer then picked up her weapon and walked up to me.
"i would... like to know too" ah, so she doesn't know either, my best guess is the Grail War went wrong and someone felt like killing everyone wich was what the Gilgamesh in Fate/Stay Night wanted for some fucking reason.
So my best guess is that Lev somehow helped Gilgamesh win and came back to our time and tried to kill everyone to stop us from fixing this up, that's my best guess really and the one that makes the most sense with my knowledge.
Wait a minute "you want to come with me?" i asked her, she has a surprissing amount of freedom for a Einzbern Homoncolus they usually just stay there and do stuff unless told so otherwise.
She nodded and said nothing else only waiting for my answer, to be honest i wouldn't need her help the skeletons are hardly a problem and if a Servant showed up Leyssrit wouldn't be able to do anything... but i guess not taking her with me wouldn't matter either way.
"as long as you carry your own weigt sure" i replied and started walking away... i saw her jump over me and stared down at me from a tree branch.
"this way... is faster" she said and i stared at her for a momment, if that's how she is gonna be...
Geppo
I jumped into the air and then Jumped in the air, she stared at my action for a momment when i was ahead of her already, i was going slower on purpose so that she would have me on her sights, it would be a dick move if i just left her there after saying she could come along.
Also Geppo is technically a Martial Arts technique so i can use it, wich is just fucking convinient.
She was surprissingly nimble actually, i thought she would be panting at this point... of course i could just use Shave too or just go faster but she is still pretty impressive.
After we reached the city i sky jumped into a rooftop and waited for Leysritt to reach, i had to wait like half a minute for her to reach me "do you have a name?, can't just call you Homoncolus" i asked her, since it would be weird for me to just know her name.
"Leysritt... Von Einzbern" excuse me, the what?.
That's weird, too weird, why use the family name if she is a Homoncolus?, it doesn't make sense heck i know justabitch, yes not his name but it fit's him, would be outraged to hear that from her.
Not that i'm gonna tell her that, i have an incredible pocker face "cool, i'mma gonna call you Leys it's easier for me to remember, the plan is to find a black haired girl with an attitude, a red head with probably suicidal tendencies and this orange head that is out of place in the grimm world we live in, oh and a pink haired girl with glasses... i have no idea if she needs them though" i finished and she tilted her head again.
I have a feeling she does that a lot "how would... that help us... in finding what... happened?" an incredibly good question, sadly i have no fucking answer to give you, so i'll just avoid it.
"hey, i have to make sure they haven't died, they techincally work for me... in a very loose and vague way" not mentioning that i'm basically the property of their actual boss.
That was a very poor attempt at avoiding a question, fortunately she just nodded and said nothing else... where the fuck do we look now?, yeah i didn't think this through.
That's when i heard a wistling sound... my eye's widened and i grabed Leys by the arm and jumped down in one fast move, the rooftop we were in just blew the fuck up and i my eye's are working correctly what did that was an arrow, so... Archer is not a good guy, nice to know.
I landed and stoped holding Leys who tumbled fowards and looked at me "that was... unpleasant" your problem not mine, guess going through the high ground isn't going to do me any good.
Leys eye's wandered to her right, like she was seeing something that i couldn't "great surge of mana... in that direction" huh... well we have a destination now.
"well i hope you know what we do now" i asked her and signaled her at the direction she was looking.
She tilted her head "we go... there?" why are you even asking that question?, we are obviously going there.
"we have no better leads" and i started running in that direction, well it was more like jogging at the speed of a car, Leys was right behind me... good thing she is a combat model instead of a mage or maid.
Makes me wonder what we are going to find in that surge of mana, knowing how things have been going it's going to be Heracles with a big angry boner waiting to snap me in half- wow that would sound so wrong out of context... and in context too actually.
The skeletons couldn't keep up with us so we just kinda ran past them, those that were on our way were either cut by Leys halberd or a lazy backhand from my part, not really a lot of work.
Huh well that's the big bridge of Fuyuki, it most likely has a name that i give no shit about... and it's exploding, my head slowly moved towards Leys and she nodded, here we fucking go.
I jumped into the... things holding the bridge, okay yeah i don't have a lot of knowledge about construction, i think they are called supports or something like that?, it was a pretty big jump too.
What i saw was a little surprissing of my eye's are in the right that's Rider and she has this dark aura around her, like she got the edge lord skill or something and she seems to be beating the shit out of Rin and Shirou with unsurprissing ease, Leys is jumping between surpports until she reached me and saw the same thing i did.
She literally stoped moving for three seconds, and for a momment i thought she was dead "Alive?..." oh, so they died in this time already kinda expected considering how everything was fire and brimstone.
"so it seems" and when i said that i jumped down, and used Geppo to throw myself like a fucking missile to the ground and the i used another familiar technique to become a living torpedo.
Tekkai: Gou.
My muscles hardened and i saw Rider stop mid movement and dash backwards, i have no idea how she knew i was coming but she managed to dodge me... i also made a miscalculation, i went through the damn bridge and had to use Geppo again to go back through the whole i just made and landed right besides the bruised Rin and the bloody mess that is Shirou, something tells me he was on his last legs.
Hell i'm surprissed neither is dead- and Shirou just slumped, Rin catched him before he fell to the ground and i simply signaled at her with my head to stay back, we could talk later "i guess you are not in a talking mood?" i jokingly asked the servant and i pretty much saw an endless amount of hate for the two people who were behind me.
I could hardly call what was in front of me an Heroic spirit, i may not be able to feel magic but i have a way with people's 'Aura's' i would call her a big ball of self-loathing and hate.
Just like Lev felt like an slipery mother fucker.
That's when i took a cat foot stance, my hands were wide open usually to use heart jabs, but this was Karate from the beard himself, i was just waiting for the Servant to make her move, her chained pikes drawn and she was in her usual... well it's running possition but she is basically showing her ass to everyone.
To the normal man it would have looked like she vanished for a momment, to some servants she would have been a blur... but to me she was only trying to go past me her move had no finese or preparation, she just went as fast as possible to my left, was it the anger that made her do such a reckless action? or maybe whatever hate she has to the two behind me is too great for her to think clearly?.
Either way she made a mistake and i will take advantage of it.
Devil Lance
The fingers in my arm were a weapon along with most of my fucking arm actually, but in with this technique it will become a one hit kill move, she didn't expect me to match her speed, she wasn't thinking straight and now that i really think about it she seemed wrong, corrupted even.
My whole arm went through her stomach and spine, like she was made of wet paper and not some kind of powerful legend, then again i'm doing this with power given to me and it takes some of the pride i could have felt by this impressive action.
There was shock in the face of the Servant, she couldn't completely understand what just happened and how it did, she settled for looking at both Rin and Shirou one last time, the emotions that it conveyed were different this time too, dissapointment, bitterness, and realisation.
She slowly dissappeared without a word but if the city on flames wasn't clear enough, the attitude of the Rider servant sealed for me whatever happened to this city is realated to the Grail War way more than anyone could imagine.
Wich in turn makes me worried about what the fuck went wrong and made me wonder if Lev was involved into this meaning he was also stronger than he let on... all of that will wait for now.
Because first of all "you two really got lucky, if i wasn't around you both would have died" i bluntly told the probably couple behind me while relaxing my stance and putting my hands on my pockets again.
Shirou was in a very bad shape, understandable he must have been the one to get in a physical fight with Rider and obviously got his ass handed to me, Rin was breathing heavily and had some scratches on her but other than that she seemed fine and was also supporting Shirou so that he didn't end of falling again.
I saw someone landing at my left, Leys seemed... i won't say angry but definetly close to animosity, then she pointed with hell halberd at Shirou "broken... promise" i blinked and saw her dash foward.
Great more problems.
... and that's it, no big thing to say this time.
Aside of me finally looking at any FGO tier list and seeing Merling is broken as fuck, guess keeping i'm on the back when i got him because my dislike of the caster class was a dumbass move.
So imm'a level him up right now...
LATER!.
