AN: Enjoy the chapter.
Ch 36 Prison Break Pt 3
"Keep pressing the pressure!" Ryuko held out her Sword, pointing at the Gate before them.
A slash from a Sword fell a couple of Crixes and Vipers. "Focus on your targets and don't lose sight of the goals!" Constantine cried out, giving off Charisma to the Soldiers.
Flames burst through the horde of Enemies, clearing an area for the Soldiers to use. "Umu, call one of us Servants if the Enemy is too strong for you!" Nero held up her Flaming Sword, sharing her own Charisma Skills to boost the morale.
Yells exploded in the air from the Resistance Soldiers, guns were going off and taking out the Enemy Programs and other Machinery that the Empire dished out.
Assassin of the Resistance reloads his rifle before aiming at the Enemy Programs. He pulls the trigger, and the Enemy fell to his sharp shooting one by one.
The white-haired Servant turns around, facing the troops and Chaldeans. "Keep formation, if you all stay in your platoon then the Enemy will have a hard time attacking!" Assassin shouted before dodging the slash from a Cluster Horn.
He rolled on the ground to dodge the attack and took out a knife. "Tch, Cluster Horns already." Assassin clicked his tongue at the sight. 'To think that Tyrant would send things like these. They must really not want anyone to escape.'
"Assassin!" Louis cried out, sending Magical Energy to his Servant just as Ritsuka instructed.
Ritsuka and Louis were at the back with Moriarty, Sita, Machiavelli, and Johann. The Archers provide cover from long-range Enemies.
"Much appreciate it," Assassin climbs on top of the Cluster Horn, slashing his Knife against its throat.
The Machine cried before falling to the ground, he quickly got up and resumed the Battle.
Ritsuka huffs, looking at the Battle before them. He then noticed that the right flank Lancelot was in charge of was struggling a bit. "Berserker!" He held his hand towards the Mad Dog.
"AAAAAARRRRRRTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUURRRRRRR!" Lancelot roars, thanking his master for the boost in Mana.
The Berserker grabs hold of a fallen Soldier's rifle and starts shooting with both in hand. "AAAAAAAAARRRRRTTTTTTTHHHHHUUUUURRRRRR!" Lancelot roars once more, clearing the area as the Soldiers assisted him in taking out the Enemies.
Ladybug shielded many lasers coming down from the walls of the Prison. She quickly head towards one group and Shielded them from the lasers, "Are you okay?" The bluenette Hero asked the Soldier.
"Y-Yeah, thanks for Shielding us, Ladybug." The Soldier responded before returning to combat.
Ladybug sighs, looking around as she continues to Shield everyone. "We're sitting ducks out here if they don't arrive." The Hero of Creation stated.
She saw the Archers protecting Ritsuka and her Son, Nero taking command of the right flank, and Constantine with Ryuko commanding the front while Lancelot took care of the left.
The rest of them helped wherever they were needed. Ladybug came over to Chat, wanting to speak to him about something.
"Chat, how are you holding up?" The bluenette asked her Boyfriend, fending off the lasers on his side.
"I'm doing good, Ladybug.' Chat gave his usual confident smirk before getting serious about their situation. "But I don't think we can hold out for much longer, My Lady."
Johanna projects beams of light at the Enemy Programs that were after her master and his Girlfriend. "Master's right, but we need to have faith that both Rani and Koyanskaya will do their part."
The white-haired Ruler heard some rumbling behind them, "And not a moment too soon."'
The ground shook as Rani walked slowly to the gate from the back of the Soldiers. She lets out a deep sigh as smoke came out.
Louis looks behind them, seeing Rani coming up from the back. The blonde master saw Berserker of the Resistance heading towards their way.
Louis turns around, seeing Assassin right before them. "Assassin!" He calls out to his Servant. In response, the white-haired looks at his master, seeing the Berserker appear.
Assassin nodded, turning to the small army. "Everyone, it's time! Spread out!" He held his hand towards the Resistance members.
Nero looks at the Counter Force Servant, announcing the time. "Umu," The Saber Face looks at her platoon. "Spread out, the time has come!" The Roman Emperor announces,
Constantine and Ryuko heard the signal, prompting him to fall back with the Soldiers under his command. "Soldiers of the Resistance, fall back and prepare for the raid!" The Saber announces to her platoon.
Lancelot roars, signaling his platoon to fall back from the area.
Sita turns to her master, seeing things are escalating how they planned. "Master, we should fall back too; we don't want to get between the Gate and the two's Noble Phantasm." The Archer ushers her master to clear the way.
"Right," Ritsuka agreed with his Servant, not wanting to get caught in between the target and the Servants' Noble Phantasms.
Johann turns to the side, seeing Lancelot's group. "This way," The Archer motions in the direction of the Mad Dog's group. "Berserker's side is big enough for everyone to be stationed."
Everyone in the rear guard heads towards the right side as Rani approached the Prison Gate.
Berserker of the Eternal Empire appeared as Koyanskaya stood beside her, "It's been ages since I've used my Noble Phantasm." Koyanskaya smiles, leaning on her Rifle.
"Indeed, let us bring destruction, Koyanskaya!" Rani summons her Weapons, ready to deploy her own Noble Phantasm. (Insert Koyanskaya of Light Np Theme — Fate Grand Order BGM [30 Minutes Extended])
Koyanskaya took out a small pink grenade, "Standby. Slave, go!" She bit off the pin before tossing the grenade a few feet away.
The grenade exploded into a pink fog as machine parts came together. "Good, good, very, very good." Koyanskaya's voice echoes from the fog,
A large machine leg came forward from the cloud, then a pink tank rolled out from the fog.
"W-Where did that tank come from!?" Ladybug asked, not expecting a tank to be a Noble Phantasm. Everyone saw Koyanskaya standing on top of the tank with a smile,
The tank continued to roll forward towards the Gate, Viperion, Ryuko, and Louis chuckled, seeing this is what they need. "I don't know where this tank came from, nor do I care. This is what we need to break down the Gate!" Viperion laughs,
"Now is not the time to be impressed, Viperion. Prepare for the onslaught of Enemy Programs." The Hero of Perfection said, prepping her Sword.
"Right, dear." Viperion turns to the Soldiers singling them to ready their arms.
"End this with style." Koyanskaya snaps her fingers as missiles and bullets hit their targets.
Moriarty looks at the Gates, being bombarded with bullets and missiles. "Ryuko's right, the ray shield is taking little damage." He commented before seeing Rani rushing in while the ammunition evaded the Berserker.
"Don't worry, Berserker can give an extra boost to the attack," Johann said, seeing her power for himself.
Berserker of the Resistance grins, her eyes glowing crimson red as her Weapons appeared in her hands. "AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH! My fury shall not be extinguished!"
Rani leaps in the air as a second pair of arms projected themselves from her back.
"Any army who dares stand in my way shall learn my wrath!"
"Strike thy Demon and drink thy blood! Killing Strike of Rage!"
Rani's Weapons glowed brighter, striking the ray shields and causing them to static with the ammunition still being dished out.
The Berserker leaps back, sliding on the ground before looking up with a deranged expression on her face. "AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" She gave a bellowed roar before dashing forward once more.
She strikes the shield repeatedly before raising her arms in the air. "That rage, that fury," Sita recognize the fury of Berserker, "Its-"
Koyanskaya smirked, snapping her fingers as her tank rolled forward. "This is the best weapon of Tamamo Heavy Industries!"
The Alter Ego announced as her tank leaps into the air just above Berserker of the Resistance.
"The Seveny-Nineth Edition TAMAMO-Tank!"
"########### Shakti!"
With a powerful slash from both Noble Phantasms, the ray shields began glitching out before they exploded. (End Song)
D'Artagnan heard a massive explosion from the outer Gates, "They made it through, all hands prepare for attack!" The Saber ordered before the gates blasted open,
The red-haired Saber shut his eyes before seeing the Berserker of the Resistance, standing on a dead Enemy Program. Her foot was on the body while the head was in one of her hands. "That pose, that Divine Aura…Kali, the Hindu Goddess of Destruction!"
"Go, go!" Teams of Resistance Soldiers and Servants came rushing in once the Gate was opened.
Ritsuka, Ladybug, Chat Noir, and Louis ran into the Prison's courtyard after the Gates fell.
Chat saw the Divine Spirit roar, clearly in a berserk rant. "Is this what Rani could do?" The Hero of Destruction asked,
"She's clearly out of control," Ladybug stated, feeling Assassin and the others went past her.
"Just leave her be, it's best not to get in her way in this state." Ryuko stops next to Ladybug, sending the Soldiers to the Prison grounds.
Sita arrives, seeing Rani going off on her own to deal with the major threats in the courtyard. "I never once expected to see the Wife of Shiva Summoned to this Lostbelt." The Divine Spirit stated.
The bluenette Hero turns to the Archer as she aims for the turrets above them. "You know who she is, Archer?" Ladybug asked, gaining the attention of Louis and Chat Noir.
"Yes, she is one of the Major Deities of the Hindu Pantheon. The Goddess of War and Destruction, one of the three Wives of Shiva, Kali." Sita informed the three Humans of who the Berserker of the Resistance was.
"Kali is a War Goddess who is another aspect of Shakti, a Creation Goddess. She was birth by Durga during the Battle with the Demon Raktabija, her fury isn't one to trifle with and is very hard to calm down. The one way I know how to calm her down is when Shiva allowed himself to be stepped on," The Incarnation of Lakshmi explains,
"Ah, she's that Goddess with four arms and standing on a man's body!" Chat remembered the image in his books when he was Homeschooled.
Ladybug and Louis look at Kali, tearing through the Enemy Programs in a fit of rage. "Huh, makes sense…" They said, both remembering her fit of rage in separate moments.
Ritsuka blinked at the Kali before him. "Huh, didn't expect a different Kali to appear." He commented, remembering the last time he encountered her.
"What do you mean, a different Kali?" Chat Noir asked, catching what the Magus said.
"Huh? I mean during my travels, I encountered another Kali who used a different body to be Summoned." Ritsuka commented, explaining to the Hero of Destruction. "This Kali must be this World's version of her. Something Shakti...it's different from Sanhara Kali. Plus, I didn't catch it."
Chat nodded, understanding that now. "Multiverses are sure confusing."
Ritsuka shrugs, experiencing this sort before. "Eh, you get used to it."
D'Artagnan clicked his tongue, looking up at the observation room where his master resides. He saw him smiling at the Battle on the grounds. Mentally he was relieved that the Resistance was here, but he needed to keep his cover to fool his master.
Shaking his head, the Saber held his Sword in the air and cried out. "Charge!" The Enemy Programs went in and began attacking the group.
The Saber saw Ritsuka providing Magical Energy to his Servants and immediately went after him for show. "Chaldean master!" D'Artagnan cried out, about to slash at Ritsuka when a loud clang of Swords deflected his strike.
"You shall not harm my master!" Constantine stood before his master, Sword pointing at him. "Your opponent is me, Knight!"
Ritsuka looks at the former Leader of the Restoration Realm, appreciating his interference. "Rider, thank you for stepping in." He said to his Servant.
"Of course, master." The Emperor rushed forward, clashing his Sword with D'Artagnan's Sword.
The Musketeer slashed back the Emperor, getting into his striking formation. "Your skills with the Sword is something, are you perhaps a Hero who is skilled with the Sword?" D'Artagnan asked Constantine.
"I'm afraid you're mistaken, indeed I'm skilled with the Sword but I'm not a Saber," Constantine answers the 'Enemy' before him. "I am in the Rider Class,"
"A Rider…I see, then I accept your challenge. Engarde!" D'Artagnan leaps forward, thrusting his Rapier at the Emperor.
Constantine brought his Sword to its flat side and used it as a Shield, "Ngh…" He pushes aside the Musketeer, giving Ritsuka and the others some room.
Once the 'Enemy' Saber was far away, the black-haired Servant turns his eyes to the masters. "I'll handle Saber, the rest of you head inside the Prison!" Constantine ordered his master and allies.
"What about you and the others? Can you-" Ladybug covered her ears, hearing loud shots from Koyanskaya above them on her tank.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUURRRRRRR!" Lancelot dashed forward, joining Kali in the destruction.
"The Berserkers, Rider, Ryuko, and I got the ground area covered," Koyanskaya said, looking down at the masters from her tank.
Ryuko nodded, stabbing an Enemy in the chest. "That's right, there's a lot of People inside that Prison to go one by one." The Saber Class Hero stated, "Machiavelli will be with you directing where to go."
Machiavelli came running in, turning to the masters. "That's right, please follow me!"
Ritsuka nodded, turning to now the Infiltration Team, "Everyone, let's go!"
"Right!" They all oblige, heading towards the entrance of the Prison.
In the observation deck, Felix smiles at the Battle below him. "Seems like a few of those Resistance insurgences made it into the Prison," Felix commented,
"Shall I stop them?" Lancer of the Eternal Empire asked the Anomaly master,
The blonde master placed his hand on his chin, seeing the Resistance and Chaldeans were going through what he predicted. "Not yet, let them free their allies. We'll confront them when their confidence is at its peak."
Lancer frowns that they're letting these insurgences get their way, "Why? If the insurgence frees their comrades, they will be an immediate threat to the Empire." The orange-haired Servant explains to his master.
"Yes, I understand your concerns, Lancer…" Felix wasn't too worried, he has anticipated everything for this moment. But decreasing the Servants' fighting powers would be beneficial. "Very well, go and greet our guests, Lancer."
The orange-haired Servant obliged the Anomaly master. "As you wish," Both Lancer of the Eternal Empire and Felix exited the Observation room and went to confront the Infiltrators.
Within the walls of the Prison, Ritsuka, Ladybug, Chat Noir, Louis, Johanna, Nero, Moriarty, Assassin, Sita, Machiavelli, Johann, and Viperion along with a few Soldiers ran down the halls in search of the holding cells.
The huge group enters what seems to be the foray. They look around the foray, at every corner was a different hallway leading to different areas of the Prison.
"Now what? There are a lot of paths that could be the holding cells," Ladybug stated, her bluebell eyes scanning the area for any hints or directions to the holding cells.
Johann played a tune, the not echoed throughout the halls of the Prison. The Pseudo-Servant closed his eyes before sensing a few Humans and at least three Servants, "I detect at least a couple hundred People here, the majority are our own, and three Servants at the other side of the Prison." He informed the group.
"How did you know that Johann?" Johanna asked the light, brown-haired Archer.
"I'm a Pseudo-Servant, this body…Hakuno Kishinami is compatible with the Sebastian Johann Bach side of me who knows Magecraft." The Archer explains to the Ruler Servant. "I think it's because both Hakuno and Johann share the same number of Magic Circuits in their Body. Anyways, it's a simple detection Spell using soundwaves."
Nero ponders, hearing that name somewhere. "Interesting, I can't help but ponder where I heard that name before..." She smiles and then looks at the Pseudo-Servant. "Have we met before, Musician?"
"Maybe, you do look and feel familiar, Saber," Johann said, sharing the same sorta feelings with the Roman Emperor. "This feeling is also when I met Kali for the first time. Perhaps we met during a Grail War?"
"Umu, I agree." Nero smiles before the Archer sensed two people coming from one of the halls.
Johann turns to the group, holding out his hand. "Everyone! Step back!"
The Infiltration Team halted their movement, hearing the Counter Force Servant shout. Louis looks at the light-brown Archer, "What is it-"
Nero quickly rushed in front of the blonde master, deflecting a strike from the assailant. "HA!" She slashed away the Enemy as Johann held his violin and sent a soundwave at the enemy Servant.
The Archer turns his head to the blonde master, seeing him on the ground. "Louis, are you alright?" Johann asked the Resistance Leader.
Louis nodded, being helped by Chat Noir to his feet. "Y-Yeah, that just took me off guard." He laughs it off,
"Louis, stay close to me and Ladybug." Chat held onto his Son, having a Fatherly instinct to protect him.
Standing before them was an orange spiked hair, wearing a short black sleeve jacket with a hood and pants. His lower arms and legs were dawned in silver armor and a single blue-grey fabric on the left side of his leg.
"The last Servant that was Summoned with Ruler and Akutagawa back in the Present." The Magus exclaims, seeing the Lancer of the group. "Saber, stay on guard!" Ritsuka looks at his Servant before him.
Nero nodded, hearing the request from her master. "Umu, understood, Praetor!"
Assassin of the Resistance looks at the Pseudo-Servant, wanting him to assist the Chaldean Servant. "Archer, assist Saber with the Enemy." The white-haired Servant ordered the former Caster.
"Very well, Assassin." Johann obliges his ally, assisting the Roman Emperor with this Battle.
"So it'll be two on one fight then, sounds unfair if you ask me." Everyone looks up, seeing the one who's in charge of this Lostbelt. "But considering Lancer is infused with Hephaestus's power, then it's understandable you want to use all the assets at your disposal."
Standing behind Lancer of the Eternal Empire was Felix, smiling at their guests before him and the Servants.
Chat growls, seeing his Cousin standing behind the Enemy Servant. "Felix…" The Hero of Destruction growls,
"Felix, you finally show yourself." Ladybug frowns at the sight of the Enemy master. "After defeating one of the Servants and one joining the Resistance, you're finally taking action."
Felix chuckles, hearing the Heroes speaking to him like he did something wrong. "Come now, it's only natural to take action after hearing two of my Servants are defeated." The blonde master grins at the masters before him. "But…I'll let Lancer handle you all. I got other things to do."
"WHAT!?"
"So you're going to leave again Felix?" Ritsuka asked, catching that this was his thing. Leaving when the Battle while it's going on.
"Of course, I got so much to do. This is just a pit stop for me, but we'll meet again. I just want to see all the competitors in our Holy Grail," The blonde Enemy master said as a portal appeared behind them. "Ciao,"
Viperion flinched, looking at the Soldiers. "Capture him before he escapes!" The Moon Cancer exclaims,
The Resistance Soldiers aimed their weapons toward Felix, setting them to stun. Assassin joined in, tossing a knife among the rays. They fire at him, only for Lancer to deflect the attack. "You shall not harm my master." The Inquisitor announced, glaring at the Resistance.
"Good luck…you need it." Felix enters the Portal, leaving them to deal with the Imperial Inquisitor.
"He got away," Ritsuka frowns, before turning his attention back to the Lancer of the Eternal Empire. He clicked his tongue, seeing that there was little time before reinforcements from the Eternal Palace would arrive. "(Damnit,)"
"Preator," Ritsuka looks up, hearing Nero calling his name. "You and the Resistance go on ahead and free the Prisoners. Both Archer and I shall keep Lancer busy."
Louis looks at the Roman Emperor, concerned with the plan she came up with. "But Lancer is a Divine Spirit, you can't-"
Johann smiles at the young master, "Don't worry about us, I'll support Saber the best I can." The Archer stated, ensuring Louis he'll have Nero's back. "I still have my skills as a Caster. Now go, there's no time left!"
"Like I let you," Lancer spun his Golden Spear, dashing for Ritsuka's heart.
Just before the thrust landed on the Magus's heart, Nero steps in front of Humanity's final master. "And I won't let you harm my master and my allies!" She kicks the Divine Spirit back before looking back. "Go! Now's your chance!"
Viperion looks at the Resistance and their allied masters. "Everyone, let's go and free our allies."
"Right!"
Everyone went to another corridor, evading the Battle between Servants.
Lancer of the Eternal Empire frowns at the escaping his grasp. "Just to let you two know, once I defeat and kill you two, I'll go after your masters and the interlopers." The orange-haired Servant stated.
Johann scoffs, placing his Violin under his chin, "We'll see about that, Lancer!"
The orange-haired Lancer dashed forward, thrusting his Spear at the Roman Emperor.
Further into the Prison, the large group made it to an intersection leading to many paths. "Which way to the Prisoners?" Sita asked, seeing many possible routes.
"We have to split up," Assassin of the Resistance stated, turning to the path to the left. "One Servant for each group for their protection."
Moriarty nodded, seeing that was the only plan they had. "Very well, I shall accompany the Soldiers to the right side with Machiavelli, Assassin, Viperion shall take the left." The Crime Lord looks at the masters together. "And the center will be the masters."
"Agreed," Chat stated, heading to the center path while the others prepared to go to their respective paths.
Viperion looks at everyone, wanting to inform everyone before they depart. "We meet back at the main foray once we gathered everyone." He ordered everyone, receiving responses from each member.
Everyone heads down to their respective path, heading into the Cell Block. "Master, there are three Spirit Origin Signatures here," Johanna informed the group.
"I can confirm it, two Riders and a Saber now that we're close enough," Sita said, entering the Cell Block.
"It must be Taikoubou, Nikitich, and Altera." Ritsuka said, relieved that they were inches away from a reunion.
Once inside, the group saw some empty Cells among the walls. Ladybug scans the room, seeing three Cells shut. "There, three Cells occupied in the corner." The bluenette Hero stated,
The group went over to the Cells, however, there was an issue at hand. "How do we open the Cell doors?" Louis asked, looking for a terminal near the doors.
Johanna held her hand on the door, trying to use her Skills to open it. "I-I can't open the doors like in Traum." The Ruler stated, unsure of what to do next.
"We can't exactly use Chat Noir's power here," Ritsuka stated, observing the room. "There's too much major structural support in this corner. One wrong touch then this part will tumble down on us." The Chaldean master commented.
Sita looks around the Block, stepping back and looking around. She then spots a terminal at the edge of the wall, "I-I think there's the terminal control for the doors." The Archer points to the terminal.
Everyone turns to where the Queen of Kosala was pointing to. The terminal was blinking green, indicating that it must be the main terminal connected to the Cell Block. "That must be the terminal for the Cell Block," Ritsuka commented,
Chat smiles, hearing that the terminal is the main terminal for Cell Block. "Right, I'm on it!" The Hero of Destruction held his claws in the air,
"Cataclysm!"
Chat quickly touches the terminal, turning it into rust before short-circuiting and exploding.
The Cell doors opened, causing the Prisoners from within to come out. "Well, better late than never, master." Taikoubou smiles, walking out of his Cell. "We've been waiting for your arrival since day one."
Ladybug smiles, seeing the Rider Servant coming out. "Taikoubou! You're okay!"
The Rider chuckles, appreciating Ladybug's genuine relief, "I appreciate your relief, Ladybug. I see you have grown a bit from the last time I saw you." Taikoubou greeted,
Nikitich steps out of her Cell, walking towards her master and his allies. "To think those Cells were able to contain a Servant. Even for someone strong as me," The Rider sighs, "Gotta say the Empire's technology is impressive."
Chat walks up to the group, having a few minutes in transforming back. "Nikitich, glad you're still the same despite being captured." The blonde Hero stated.
"No matter what situation I can stay strong, ain't that right master?" Nikitich smiles at her master, happy to be reunited.
Ritsuka nodded, "Do I know it, speaking of situations, are you two really okay? Did Karl der Grobe or Felix do anything to you all?" The black-haired Magus asked.
Taikoubou shook his head, "No, he merely had us held here trying to gain information about Chaldea and you all." He shrugs, giving his usual smile. "But we didn't,"
"Indeed, they can't break us or our Bond with you master." The Bogatyr nodded before being serious about one issue. "However, I can't say for all of us." Nikitich looks at the Cell, both she and Sage share the same concerned face.
"Altera," Ritsuka quickly heads to the other Cell, waiting for the Saber to come out.
Everyone except for the two Riders watch as someone steps out of the Cell.
Exiting from the Cell was a tan female with crimson eyes and straight white hair. She wore similar clothes to Altera; however, she was different from the Scourge of Gods the Chaldean master knows.
"Um…hello master…" Altera spoke in a small and innocent voice. "S-Servant, Saber, Altera Larva. P-Please take care of me, master." She shyly greeted her master before her.
"So small…" Everyone spoke, not expecting to meet a Lily version of Altera the Hun.
