This is the final battle, who will come out on top? Time for the last episode.
Final Battle: Fate/Apocrypha.
Darkness and Light, Into the chaos.
Asiko looked solemnly at the grieving homunculus. "Seig, get up." he ordered. Seig looked at Asiko with tears in his eyes. "Take that pain you're feeling and unleash every ounce on the one who caused it. End this here and now."
Seig nodded, slowly standing as he hefted his sword to a fighting position. Electricity crackled around him as he turned. With a war cry worthy of Mordred and Siegfried combined, Seig lunged at the red-clad Ruler. Shirou barely had enough time to block before the two blades met. The sheer force of Seig's charge pushed Shirou back as the homunculus continued roaring, attempting to slash his opponent over and over, said opponent barely having time to block.
The most shocking thing to happen though(No pun intended) was the petals that began to appear with every attack. Caules held out his hand and one fell into his palm. "This is..." he gasped, tearing up at the sight and the memories it brought. With a smile, he cheered, "Go get him Berserker!"
"Brother, we need to leave." Fiore called, Leticia in her mecha's arms as she made her way down the hall.
"Jack, Rider, Beetlejuice and I will stay in case Seig needs help." Asiko informed, glancing at the Servants and ghost. The siblings nodded before leaving the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Shirou blocked the next attack and tsked. "So first Siegfried, then Frankenstein. It seems the fallen Servants are my opponents now." he observed. Seig didn't respond, attacking again and again before Shirou kicked him away. Seig landed on a pillar, using it as a springboard to launch himself back into the fight. Shirou parried the blow before looking back. Both combatants refused to give an inch. Jack appeared next to Asiko while Beetlejuice hovered above, none of them finding the words to speak in front of the awe-inspiring fight. In a few minutes, though, it was clear that the pair was tiring. Seig lifted his sword and charged right at Shirou, who managed to lift his own blade in enough time to run the homunculus through. Seig coughed up blood for a moment, then grabbed his opponent. A tree of light took form around them.
"Shit!" Asiko shouted, "Find Cover!" everyone else in the room obeyed as they ducked behind a pillar or broken piece of floor.
"This will end it!" Seig snarled, speaking what he thought would be his last words. "Blasted Tree!" The explosion shook the area.
...
Asiko sat up, feeling groggy after the explosion. Remembering he had been in an explosion, he looked around frantically. Spying Jack a few feet from him, the Magus let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. She was just waking up herself, looking to find her boyfriend next to her. "What happened?" she asked weakly.
"Well," the couple heard, looking up to see Beetlejuice, "Since the Gardens were about to crumble, I decided to grab everyone and teleport them inside the Grail. I kinda dropped Seig and Rider though." he admitted, rubbing his neck.
"You did well, I'll call you next time I need you." Asiko replied with a smile, holding up his hand.
"Maybe next time I'll get a smooch from little Jack?" the poltergeist asked before fading with a laugh.
"We don't like that guy." Jack hissed, sitting up in what she realized was a field of flowers.
"Why do you think I don't use him often?" Asiko replied, standing and helping Jack to her feet. "Let's go find the others. Quickly." Both started walking in a random direction.
...
Seig had just finished his explanation of his plan, noticing his hand turn black with some scales. Rider looked horrified, and the Grail just looked at him passively. "It is possible, but there is another pair who requires my attention as well." "She" replied, turning to her left. Jack and Asiko were approaching hand-in-hand. "What is it the two of you wish?" she asked.
"Who are you first?" Jack asked, regarding the projection suspiciously.
"I am the consciousness of the Greater Grail." The Grail explained.
"Good." Asiko replied, tapping into his link with Reika. Miss Reika, it's time. What is your wish? he asked.
Asiko! Reika gasped. He detected relief in her tone. Well, my wish is simply to live my life with the two of you. That was my only goal here.
"I assume you heard?" Asiko asked the Grail. She nodded and turned to Jack.
"And you, oh Legendary Serial Killer?"
"We just want to be able to live as a normal teenager. We want the life we never had." Jack replied, glancing at Asiko.
"And you, young Magus? What is your wish?" The Grail asked, turning back to Asiko. "Think of this as compensation for aiding Jack."
"I want Jack to be able to call on her Servant Powers if the need arises. Sort of like a Sacred Gear." Asiko replied, glancing at Jack for approval. The Assassin nodded with a small smile.
"Very well. All your wishes shall be granted." The Grail replied, bowing slightly.
Everything faded, and Rider was sitting on Hippogriff with Jack and Asiko behind him. Above them, they watched as Seig completed his transformation into Fafnir and flew away with the Grail in his claws.
...
A week later, everyone but Jack, Asiko, and Reika had left Yggdmillennia Castle. The trio sat at one of the dining room tables, discussing their next move. "I still say we should wait a little longer until the heat from the murders dies down." Reika pleaded.
Asiko shook his head. "I already handled that. My bosses can make just about anything disappear if they need to." he countered. "Besides, Guardian needs me in Tokyo. Something about a crime syndicate with a shrinking poison the Legion wants gone."
"Any allies?" Jack asked, tilting her head slightly.
"A detective who got a good dose of said poison and a Legion spy in said Syndicate." Asiko replied, leaning back. "It sounds like a hell of an adventure."
"I'm outnumbered on this, aren't I?" Reika asked, pinching the bridge of her nose as she was met with two nodding heads. "Alright. Tokyo it is." she huffed. Jack and Asiko cheered as they finished their tea. "I wonder what ever happened to that homunculus and his little crush." The only adult in the room muttered, tilting her head back against the chair.
Asiko smiled. "Don't worry, I'm sure they got their happy ending." he informed. In the next couple hours, the small family was heading to Tokyo.
And that ends Jack's Magus. I'm sorry I didn't include the scene with Shirou and Semiramis or Ruler and Seig, but I kinda felt that the former was unnecessary in the show, and the gang wasn't there for Seig and Ruler. As to Asiko's last statement, I'm gonna leave how he knows to your imagination. Well, I guess I'll end by saying Jack's Magus will return, and I think you can guess who they're meeting with next. Another hint, the detective hangs out with an evil-eyed yawny girl. Until next time.
