Two men stood in an area that was at the feet of seven hills. They were having an argument over who should be the founder of the great nation that would soon form.

"We should leave the decision to the gods." Remus said.

"I see. Very well, you whoever receives the greatest sign from the gods will be the founder of this new nation." Romulus nodded.

So, the two brothers went off to pray. Eventually, Remus returned with six vultures. But then, Romulus summoned twelve vultures, who had gone off to their nest prior.

Remus was upset at how Romulus' sign had appeared late, cheating him out of his birthright.

Still, the feud did not end. Romulus had selected the area around Palatium (Palatine Hill) to be the location of the capital, thrusting his lance violently into the top of the hill. The walls of Rome were built around the capital, rather than on top of the hill.

Remus was angry at this decision, viewing it reckless. Surely the walls could be easily jumped over!

"No, brother." Romulus said. "If any were to leap over Rome's walls, its citizens would cut them down."

But Remus still disagreed. He ran towards the walls and leapt over them, but he was cut down upon landing.

From that day on, Romulus forever held a deep regret in his heart for how his rash actions led to the death of his brother.


Fate/new dawn
Chapter 12: Oh Brother, My Brother


Dario and Leeroy happened upon each other at night. Their Servants materialized and stood in front of their Masters. Saber glared at Lancer, a deep hatred in his eyes. Lancer only returned this with eyes full of deep sorrow and regret.

Saber drew his sword before plunging it into the ground. "Moles Necessrie!"

A deep trench was formed around the scene of the confrontation. Saber then charged at Lancer before taking a swing with his sword, only be blocked by his brother's lance. Lancer pushed Saber away before swinging the lance at him. Saber blocked before the both of them tried to strike again, their attacks clashing.

"Remus, not a day goes by where Rome regrets that we didn't settle our feud peacefully." Lancer said while the two of them were blade-locked.

"Your regret will do nothing!" Saber yelled before kicking his brother away.

Saber then began taking slashing aggressively at Lancer, who moved his lance to block each swing. Eventually, a slash got him across the chest. Lancer moved back before activating his second Noble Phantasm.

"Moles Necessrie!"

A majestic wall sprung up between the two of them. Saber leapt back just in time before leaping over the wall swinging his blade downwards as he landed in front of Lancer.

"Have you truly forgotten, brother? The walls of Rome can be easily leapt over."

The wall then dissipated before the clash continued. The lance and sword were continually swung by their wielders. The two brothers were engaged in a fierce battle to the death, one holding immense hatred and anger while the other held sorrow and regret.

"You are holding back, brother!" the Heroic Spirit of the Sword yelled angrily. "Stop holding back!"

"You are right… Very well. Rome will face you will all of his might, Remus, and show you that Rome continues to grow even today!" Lancer responded. "All the way to the far reaches of the heavens!"

Lancer charged at his brother and began to put him on the defensive. After a short while, Saber found an opening and used it to go on the offensive. Soon, the two began to each go on the offensive at the same time, resulting in a fierce stalemate.

"Magna Voluisse Magnum!" Lancer yelled before plunging his spear to the ground.

A great tree began to grow, but the blade of Saber's sword then began growing.

"Redimo Meque Meosque!"

Saber dashed forward at fantastic speed, cutting the tree down before stopping in front of his brother. He then thrust the sword forward as his opponent began trying to sidestep, but he was too late and the thrust got him in the side. Saber followed this up with a slash, but that was blocked before Lancer retaliated with his own slash.

Lancer then punched Saber with a great enough strength to send him flying before using Magna Voluisse Magnum once again. The great tree representing Rome sprout up again and unleashed a torrent of waves that pushed Remus into the trench created with his variation of Moles Necessrie. But that wasn't enough and he sprung out of the trench and used Redimo Meque Meosque.

But Lancer anticipated that move this time and was able to block at the last second. Saber then backed away.

"ROMULUS!" he yelled as he thrust his sword forward.

"REMUS!" Lancer yelled as he thrust his lance forward.

The two Servants were impaled on each other's weapons. The trenches generated by Saber's Moles Necessrie then closed themselves.

"Rome sincerely…apologizes…Remus. Know that…Rome has and always will…love you deeply…brother." Lancer said sadly. "I'm sorry…"

'So, that's it, huh?' Leeroy thought sadly. 'I'm sorry, Kimberly…'

Dario was silent and turned to walk back home.


Marcus meanwhile was observing the feed from his drones and spoke into his radio.

"Two Servant eliminations confirmed. Lancer of Alpha and Saber of Omega have been eliminated.


"So, out of the competition, huh?" Ian said to Leeroy over the radio.

"Unfortunately." Leeroy sighed sadly.

"Well, at least you're still alive." Ian pat Leeroy on the back.

"It just sucks that Kimberly won't be able to walk again…"

"Can't win 'em all, though." Ian said. 'Maybe I should use my wish to heal Kimberly's legs for Leeroy.'


Meanwhile, Jeffery was sitting in his bedroom when his head began to hurt and ears ring. The Ghost Girl had returned.

"Leave me alone, Kylie… I swear, I will win." He growled.

"But other than Berserker's original Master, you haven't killed anybody yet."


Three weeks ago…

A man named Isaac Black was walking around the city at night. Jeffery had been following him for a while, having sighted the Command Seals on his hand. Jeffery then came out of hiding with a gun in his hand and shot Isaac. Isaac's body fell forward, bleeding from a hole in the back of his head. Jeffery ran towards the man's body, carefully picked the bullet up, and took the Command Seals. He then ran off before ducking into a faraway alley.

"Now, let's see what I got." He said. "Reveal yourself."

Berserker of Omega materialized. Jeffery was thoroughly impressed by the Servant's monstrous and intimidating appearance.

"Hopefully you aren't all style and no substance, Berserker." he smiled.


"Kylie, we can't recklessly waste God Hand and you know that." Jeffery said.

"I love seeing people die. The screaming and look of terror in their eyes is so wonderful." Kylie then smiled psychotically. "You're wasting time. I'll give you one more week. If you don't kill anybody, then I'm taking the wheel from you."


Ada sighed as she leaned back on Caster's throne. It was only three more days until Caster's Noble Phantasm was complete. Ada was growing incredibly bored, for nothing of note had occurred during the past six days. This was partially fortunate though, something of note happening would likely involved the Alpha faction finding the location of the castle, catching her and Caster with their pants down (figuratively speaking). They would be utterly screwed if that happened.

"Can I get anything for you, Lady Winchester?" a homunculus servant asked.

"No. Thank you." Ada responded.

She then checked the crystal ball that was tied to Caster's familiars. "How interesting. Two Servants have been eliminated."

Master: Dario Visalli
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 180 cm/90 kg

Strength: B
Endurance: B
Agility: A
Mana: B
Luck: D
Noble Phantasm: A

Class Skills
Magic Resistance B
Cancels spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for them to be affected.

Riding A
The ability to ride a mount. All creatures but those of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast rank can be used as mounts. This rank is high enough to have aptitude for the Rider Class.

Personal Skills
Natural Body D

The possession of an almost-perfect body as a living being from birth. More of a shepherd and leader than a muscled warrior like his brother, the owner of this Skill can be temporarily treated as if his STR is Rank-Up. Furthermore, no matter how many calories he ingests, his fundamental design (body type) will not change.

Crossing Palatine B
Saber can move and attack while jumping over all kinds of obstacles on the field, including enemies. No matter how difficult the terrain, Saber is capable of leaping movements and unhindered mobility.

Septem Colles A-
Like his brother, Saber can bestow blessings upon those he recognizes as his children - yet in his case, as the progenitor of an unborn nation associated with the malevolent and fearful dead, it is primarily used to summon and control spirits of the deceased, and its efficacy is greatly reduced if attempted to bless the living. While his brother regards all who live as part of Rome, Saber is left with only the forgotten and the lost.

Divinity A
As the son of the god of was, Mars, Remus has a naturally high-ranked rank of this skill. Due to lacking possession of Imperial Privilege like his brother does, this skill is not sealed.

Noble Phantasms
Redimo Meque Meosque "All Things Return to My Sword" A+
A corruption of the sword used to end Saber's life after his brother's claim to founding Rome prevailed over his own, taking the uncrowned, mundane weapon and fashioning it into a wraith blade. When Saber and Romulus attempted to decide who had the superior site to found their city, they relied on divination and augury to determine the better choice, deciding that the first to receive an omen would be the victor. While Saber was the one who received an actual omen in the form of six vultures, his brother Romulus then called upon twelve once they returned from their augury. Despite prevailing in their contest, Remus was cheated from his victory by Romulus' late showmanship.

As a Noble Phantasm, Remus' sword represents his fate to prevail first, yet not find reward for doing so. A deceptive Noble Phantasm that relies on a conceptual curse, empowering Saber's sword by warping the order of events to place his counter-attack first. A technique that may only be used to respond to an attack, Saber is capable of invariably responding first by callously cutting in line as Romulus did to him.

An almighty counter-attack, the power and weakness of this Noble Phantasm is that it always strikes first - yet it is an otherwise ordinary attack. If Saber is unable to stop the opponent from completing their attack in a single stroke, then the order of events proceed unchanged, with Saber inflicting first blood before taking the full force of the enemy's attack. From the perspective of the enemy, Saber is impossibly skilled, cutting off all of their attempts to attack with divine swordsmanship. Yet through superior endurance or attack power, all of his skill and speed can be undone by pure force.

Moles Necessrie "My Regret Reaches All" B
The legend in which Romulus killed his brother Remus, manifested as a deep trench of spite. Rather than the majestic fortress walls manifested by his brother, Saber isolates space by causing the earth to plunge and separate, instantly crafting deep pits and gouges in the earth, allowing him to drop enemies and objects to the ground below. While in this pit, enemy combatants suffer a one rank reduction in strength and agility, as the angry spirits of the dead sap their life force from underfoot. In addition, the number and power of the dead under his command are increased within these trenches.


The stat sheet for Remus was created by Sunny on the Beast's Lair forums. Sunny, if you are reading this, thanks for letting me use this stat sheet. That said, I modified it a little by adding A-rank Divinity onto the stat sheet because Remus does not have an Imperial Privilege skill to seal it.

Honestly, I'm a little worried that I might have off'd Romulus and Remus too soon.

Reviews.

Devin sands: I was actually going to do that at some point. Again, I want to develop my characters as best as I can. I'll have some of the next chapter focus on Nicholas. Thanks.

KnightOfZaku: Your guess was correct; Jackie is a yandere for her "daddy." And yes, Harry is Ian's father. Ian and Marcus will not be happy to see him.

As for Akame ga Kill, I'll start on it probably sometime this weekend. Wait, the manga is even more screwed up than the anime? Dear God, it's gonna be like when I had the brilliant idea of watching Elfen Lied, isn't it? (Rhetorical question)

Moving on, recently Fate Grand Order Chapter 2: Cosmos in Lostbelt has unveiled Atalanta Alter (her after using Agrius Metamorphosis) and Avicebron as playable Servants. Honestly, I kinda like Avicebron's design. It's pretty cool in my opinion.

Let's see... Well, there's nothing else here. So, leave a review. Constructive criticism will be accepted. Flames will be used to make s'mores. See ya!
