HELLO once again.
So this is just because I felt like it. Another memory I wanted to do to expand the lore of how my version of Chaldea works/ learn more about the twins some more. Though I will say this one might be a bit different from the last one. A bit longer too, but much longer.
Also I'm gonna be trying to fix some lore from earlier chapters that will be replaced with new lore I made for this story and well the people/ world involved in it.
That said I apologize for the wait on the Monty Python reaction. I did have to take a bit of a break on writing it as my job gets really busy on the last month. So I had to focus on that. That's and I had to finish up a chapter on one of my other stories I've accidently neglected a bit. But don't worry I am working on the next chapter still.
Now enjoy this memory chapter and I hope you like what I did.

Memory.02:
Memories of mine...
What made them so special?
A sentence that once upon a time brewed in the mind of Ogla Marie Animusphere. The woman sitting in her new bedroom and also the newest member of a team a whole week by now. Who new team she was a part of was the twins extended family and their team of other worldly beings/ servants from her world. Though she did wonder if the time dealation between her world and well when they were traveling to other worlds was a big gap or small gap. From what she had been told, it varies apparently. Hopefully it was the small gap... hopefully.
Still to be honest when team RWBY had asked if she wanted to come with them after the whole Solomon issue was resolved. She had been surprised. Sure, she had been spared and saved back in Singularity F. But even when she teleported in with the twin's extended family at the time. She hadn't expected to be affected by to the point she started to be able to use their foreign magic. Everyone still has little to no understanding on what exactly happened there.
But that boon came with its rewards as she had been put under the tutelage of team RWBY at how to use their magic that was now a part of her. It had been hard at first, but Ogla by now had to admit she was a pro with it.
Though there were some cons that came also with her new magic. As since she was had been learning and being trained during the times when she could between the singularities. She had been forced to put her burden of leadership onto Roman. Poor man, sure she had found him at times irritating, a bum, lazy, etc. But she still liked the man enough and had felt terrible on having to put her duties onto him. Not that she didn't help out, but her training mixed with her own crippling guilt of letting the events then happen in the first place, if you asked her. Didn't help make Ogla feel worthy to lead. That said she would miss Roman that fool… he didn't have to do what he did. But then again maybe that's why everyone called him a hero. For he truly did a hero's sacrifice in the end of it all.
That said the two she felt the worst for were the twins. Those two brats… good hearted brats. She should have sent them off when she first saw them. But she didn't, believing they must have been here for a reason. Her late father must have had a reason to have apparently been watching them for years earlier until they were old enough and around the same time Chaldea was officially starting to let them join. Though those hopes back then that the twins were any use were dashed when they fell asleep of all things during her speech. She had kicked them out in her anger. Was it a bit much then, yes now that she thought back on it. But she knew she couldn't show weakness then even if the two looked like they had needed sleep.
Still the twins had turned her dashed hopes around when she, along with her extended family came into the picture during Singularity F. Before helping out the twins and Mash, who was with them at the time. The same twins who also had somehow easily summoned seven servants, one from each class no less. She will admit she had felt some bitter envy when she witnessed that.
All that said after singularity F and the next three singularities. Ogla remembered being very curious on why these two had been picked truly and what interest her father then had with them. But most importantly she wondered, 'What made them so special?' A phrase she muttered in the earlier days with the twins whenever she felt her bitter envy of the twins rise up. At how blessed the two seemed and the fact they again, easily were able to summons servants on a whim when others. Even team A who had been still on ice then, had a hard time doing one summoning.
That said when Ogla finally had got the files on the twins, the ones her late father had written up before his death and the added in notes by Roman along with Da-Vici; and well… she figured out exactly why they had been picked to be part of Chaldea. To be honest too it still baffled her on the reasons. As during her time reading the reports, she quickly realized the twins were the most important members of the whole facility and they didn't even know it.
For context when Ogla read the files once, then twice after her initial shock followed by reading it over ten more times. It was clear on why and it was three reasons only on why. The first was their affinity when it came to the mage craft.
As said affinity, it seemed from what she read on about the twin's parents being two semi-legends she heard about at least were considered freaks of magical nature. The father more then the mother, but still their union must have done something because when she read the twins affinity, their true one. It made her almost dropped the files in shock. As the report on their affinity simply said one word…
.
.
.
Servants…
.
.
.
That had been the word that shook Ogla to her core once she read it. Again, almost making here drop the files before she caught herself and looked at the word once more. 'Servants'... of all things it had to be that. To her this was an affinity that would make these twins some of if not the most powerful mages in this era.
And she became pissed at that too. Realizing those brats didn't even realize they had this power. With this affinity and from what else she read about it. The twins had the stupidly easy time summoning servants then anyone else could. They could even by theory summon multiple servants at once without dying from it and have no dip in their prana from it either. Heck if those two ever went to war with her world the U.C.W plus their neighboring governments lived in. The twins could easily win with the servants they could summon. They could probably summon them all from the least known to the most if they tried. It was scary and terrifying to think of and again these two had NO idea about this.
A part of that realization had calmed Ogla down, yet again also had irked her with bitter envy knowing these two had so much power yet they squandered it even if by accident. She would give up so much to even have a fraction of what they had.
Still, she let it be as in the end she knew those two were good kids and would never do what she believed at least a good few would do if they learned this about themselves. That said she read on after and was more confused then surprised on this next part when she read up on it. As she read over the report that explained the second main reason they could work also as the 'Best masters to ever exist'. Roman's words not hers or her fathers. The report had said the twin's greatest trait was…
.
.
.
[Empathy. The twin's uncanny ability to empathize and befriend any who come across them. They could meet a mass murderer whose slaughtered thousands for the fun of it and make them their closest, and most loyal ally. The twins seem to have the capacity to look past even the worst in some and see them as just people. They never judge, they never hate, they simply accept any who comes to them and instantly love them as family. That is their greatest feat they have above all other masters. They can earn loyalty naturally and with no need for force. They are to be considered very dangerous in that regard."]
.
.
.
Ogla was surprised at that as she didn't even consider empathy to be a majoring factor when the twins were picked. Though she read the files more then and what else she found also shocked her. As this third and final reason painted a much clearer picture on why the twins were well… like how they were. After that she caught sight of a secondary report on the twins more subtle personality traits and saw it was her father who wrote this one. Since it was dated much earlier when the twins would have been at least nine or ten. It said…
.
.
.
[Upon further testing of these siblings. It seems as if they possess a rather unsettling trait that though shouldn't be considered as such. Is in this case very unsettling. You see a few years I conducted a test with something kids call 'Video Games'. I anonymously paid a well-known game company to make a full fledged game in a fantasy setting. You know, simple knights saving the world against an evil dragon. But the twist was that they had to make the game unbeatable despite it being a fully made game. They at first said no way that was a waste of time and money. But I sweeten the deal. I said if even one group beats the game, then they can publish it and change it to be more consumer friendly. So a deal was made and by the year next the game had been made. Followed by the testing.
Now to say most groups that tried, even the most experienced gave up after the first chapter of the story saying it was too hard and that there was no way they could beat the game without going insane or dying suddenly from sheer frustration. This went on for weeks and by that point I had lost some hope. As the game was more of a test to see how willing and strong the players resolve was. Also I wanted to see who had potential to become a part of my Chaldea project in the later future. Still I felt that I'd find no one who would be worthy enough, until the younger twins came in.
Within the reports, the developers said that the chipper twins beat the tutorial, first chapter and second, plus the side quest and collectible hunting in that area of the game. All within a day as they played the so called somewhat buggy 'Co-Op' feature in it. Thing was they died a lot during this first day and yet unlike the rest who gave up. It just made the twins keep playing. Determined to beat the first part which they did.
Then came the second, third, fourth to finally seventh day and by the end. The twins had apparently beaten the game fully. Everything done, collected and they had the best gear in game. It was… something and what was shocking too as the twins enjoyed every second of it. That and now the developers were happy to be able to publish the game at least. Though they did say they would wait before they do so as they decided to make it a series of games. Now years later now and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is quite a popular game within the Elder Scrolls franchise.
ANYWAYS… that aside. The twins proved a trait of theirs that is rather scary if they ever do come to Chaldea. It seems that they have a horrifically strong stubborn streak and will refuse to back down even if it seems impossible. Like the unbeatable game, now as I keep them in mind for candidates. I shudder to think at how scary they will be as masters of servants. Lord have mercy on anyone dumb enough to anger those two. Lord truly have mercy."]
.

As Ogla had finished reading that part. She remembered shivering a bit realizing that yeah…she had seen A LOT of that stubborn streak in the twins. To a scary degree even and how they made situations that seemed unwinnable, winnable all of sudden. Still she read up on the last part and this was what finally cemented her current views on the twins.
Since back then after forcing herself to read on. Mainly because she was afraid she'd get a heart attack if she read more. She found this one more concerning then anything if not something she wish she had back then and even at times now still. As what she read next went like this and was written by Da-Vinic, the male one not the other one who was with her current team that actually had been fully female. Still, it went like this…

[Entry: Final evaluation of Locasta and Eliphas Tohsaka. Full last being Tohsaka-Lockheart-Highlander.
I write this as a final evaluation of our now only two masters of Chaldea before we send them off to their first official singularity. What is said here is from a professional standpoint, but also one of care for two teens who shouldn't even have to be forced into this.
To start off I began by scolding them a bit on some of their nearly suicidal actions when it came to Singularity F. We may have not had many ways to watch over them while they were in there at first. But thankfully their out of town relatives allowed us to place cameras on them so we could use them to watch over the twin's progress as they along with Ogla entered Singularity F then. To say the least the twins did many things that though noble in intent almost got them killed several times over.
What caught me off guard when I told them this was that they simply said 'We know' in such a calm manner I almost smacked them for it. When I asked further why they treated this like nothing. They correct me quickly. Eliphas mainly as he and I quote said 'Now hold on. We aren't treating this as nothing and we aren't stupid enough to not be nervous or even scared when we did what we did. We were and despite that we'd do it all over again." The way he said it shook me a bit at how truly convicted he was to his actions and felt no shame of doing them even when he and his sister knew they could have easily been killed every time.
His sister Locasta then decided to add in as she told me "Look we get that what we did was concerning and heck maybe wrong even. But we didn't want anyone to die on our accounts, servants or just people. We wanted to help because we just again wanted too. That's what hero's do, that's what our family has always done." I asked more on what she meant by that last part. I wish I didn't because it got me very concerned and even wary of their out of town relatives at first. Mainly team RWBY.
As it seems that their great aunts had a knack for doing similar acts of nearly suicidal acts of kindness. Be it to save a random person, friends or family. They would do it always in a heartbeat. It seemed to that the twin's folks, mainly their mother had told the twins of stories when she first met her aunties. One of them being her blood relative named Weiss. That said the twins had been engrossed in the heroics of their great aunts and their allies in the stories told to them. Actions they would end up doing themselves with no care in the world as long as it helped or even saved someone in the end. To the twins it would always be worth it.
Finally I gave them a quick test just to get them to stop talking and giving me a near heart attack at how worried I was for them at that point. By the time they were done I read over the test answered and the last one was a morality test. One that asked between choosing a small number to a bigger number of people if one had something over the other. I expected this one to slump them a bit, but to my shock and increased concerned for the two they both answered...
.
'I'd save both.'
.
"To say the least I worry for these two, very much as they show that they are completely sane yet show no regard to their own well-being and hold the ideas of being a selfless hero willing to risk their lives to a zealous degree. All I will say is this, first I'm going to have a long talk with their great aunts and second I'm going to ask everyone. Be they staff or servants to keep on eye on the twins in case they try stuff like they did in Singularity F again. That and to make sure they're out of town relatives and their allies with them aren't left alone to fill the twins heads up with anymore suicidal nonsense. Will it be fully successful, probably not but we can at least try to keep the twins as safe as possible. Even if it's from themselves.
End of final notes on Locasta and Eliphas]
.
.
.
Once Ogla was done reading the notes. She had been speechless then… but it made sense as throughout the singularities after Singularity F. The twins somehow had always ended up doing something nearly suicidal and usually ended up being scolded by their servants, the staff and herself at those times. But they just KEPT doing it and their great aunts, her now new team always seemed to encourage it. Even going as far to say they should be proud.
Then again who was Ogla to argue as she had come to follow that creed too now. Much to her own shock. Then again she guessed the twins and their family were just that infectious with their heroic natures. Not that she minded considering she was actually related to them. Yeah shocker, but it seemed she was their mother's cousin and it also seemed that the Tohsaka heir, most likely an earlier great grandfather or so didn't keep it in his pants as much as people assumed he did when it came to three women in his life. Those three being heirs to another Tohsaka, Edelfelt and Animusphere family back then. Which in turn made one of her teammates being Weiss, now her aunt. Which was odd but who cares. Still Ogla smiled as she finally had closure on her question she pondered on even now.
The twins, her niece and nephew who she loved dearly by this point were many things. They were heroic, selfless, empathic, silly, stupid, irritating and suicidal at points with some of the things they did. But at the end of it all. They were what she considered the true definition of 'Truly Good People', and they were her family.
But before she could think more the doors opened as she saw her Aunt Weiss, Aunt Ruby her blood aunt's wife and her Aunt Rubys one of two servants/ adoptive teen daughter Jack the Ripper or Jacklyn at the door. Smiling at her as Weiss spoke first.
"There you are Ogla. We wanted to tell you dinners ready, everyone else is at the table and we won't start until you're with us." Weiss said kindly as Ogla still loved the warmth and kindness she gave off when she spoke to her like everyone else on this ship did too
"Yeah and it's a good one. Mac and Cheese. Along with a fresh stack of ribs and some yummy fried potatoes!" Ruby cheered as she looked like she was about to drool, which for Ogla wouldn't be a surprise considering she along with her Aunt Yang seemed to love food
"It's gonna be yummy for sure. But mama. Mommy said you have to eat slowly this time and share. Remember how you ate more than you should have and got sick the last time we had this dinner. Hehe." Jack mused as Ogla was still surprised that this once child heroic spirit was a teenager now. Well, more like super model by looks alone and her modest clothing oddly made her more pretty. Ogla knew her niece would be a heart throb when she was fully grown up
"GAH… my own little girl. Your words hurt… HURT… bleh…" Ruby in rather dramatic fashion whined as she pretends to fall over dead. While Weiss held her up in her arms rolling her eyes at her wife antics at times, but smiles moments after while Jack chuckled
"Hahah. Always the funny one mama." Jack mused as she loved it when her mama acted funny
"Jacklyn dear please don't encourage your mama… please." Weiss begged as Jack shrugged with a wink as Weiss sighed "Ugh… you take too much after your mama at times."
"True but she does take after you also. That and me in turn. Heh." Ogla remarked with a wink as Jack winked back while Weiss smiled some more before starting to drag Ruby away with her
"Anyways. Come on dinners ready and you need to eat young lady." Weiss mused as she then began to make her way off dragging Ruby along, while Jack following behind now
Ogla then followed after a few moments. But she stopped before looking back and at a picture she, and the twins took the day after they finished the seventh singularity. The day she went with her now team. The picture showed Locasta and Eliphas on each side of Ogla who for once was genuinely smiling. The twins smiling too as on the top of the pictures frame said the words 'Good Luck Auntie Ogla, see you soon!'
She smiled at the picture she already cherished since it involved a niece and nephew she adored. Dotted on really in her own way and now that she thought of it. What them special also made her and her family special. As she looked back ahead and made her way out. She knew that despite all the insanity she had gone through so far because of her family and what she would be dealing with ahead now on her new journey. If Ogla had to be honest here...
.
.
.
She wouldn't have it any other way...
AND END!
Haha, yep as you read this was an Ogla Maria centric one and for my Chaldea thanks to again the twins out of town relatives in some capacity. Ogla survives and even gets some cool magic from said relatives of the twins, which also are hers considering I made it that she's related to them.
Anyways as you may have seen too. During the last part with Ogla, Ruby and Weiss. That Jack was there and a teenager/ the adoptive daughter of Ruby and Weiss. Now this is actually something that happens early-ish in the first story of that other story connected to this one. Not much of spoiler I would say. That said her condition/ how she was summoned in that other story in the first place actually does affect the servants here. More so with the kid ones.
What does that mean well simply put the kid servants will actual end up growing up. At least until they hit 18 and then they're stuck with how they look then. That said the kid servants who will become adults one way or another will differ from their siblings/ other selves in both personality and looks to a capacity. At the moment they are slowly nearing the teen years so there's that.
That aside. The other thing that does pertains to this fic is also why some servants may not be showing up. Not too many, but mainly the ones from the other fic. Since that includes some masterless servants and the servants the girls of team RWBY get. Which are two each and the circumstances of their summons pretty much make it that they can NEVER be summoned again. So again some of the changes I'm doing to earlier chapters are because of that.
Now some of you might be asking how some of the earlier singularities went if some of these servants can't ever be summoned in Chaldea or the Singularities. Well to be exact it's only those versions. So for example Jack being summoned to Ruby of course make her unsummoned again. But in more of the sense the person themselves can't. So a female Jack the ripper can't be summoned anymore, BUT in turn I did make an OC Jack the Ripper who's a guy. One that actually grew fond of Jacklyn and considers her an adorable little sister. Which in turn Ruby and Weiss grew fond of male Jack so they have an adult son now who they call and talk with as much as they can when possible. It's cute trust me.
The only other servant I will say I'm changing is Atalanta who is in the other fic one of Blakes duo servants. To replace her is an OC son of hers. By the name of Aklan and it's rather amusing how they're dynamic is and will be. Mainly because this Atalanta found her son in a similar fashion she had been and like Artemis did with her. She raised him. Best way to simplify their relationship goes like this…
.
"Why do I smell females in your room. Aklan have you been mating with females, I raised you better then this. Mama's little cub will not be doing that dirty stuff. You are gonna stay my pure cubby!"
"Mom calm down. You're getting crazy again!"
"PURE CUBBY!"
"MOM!"
.
Yep… take that as you will. Oh and Medea is Aklan's adoptive sister in this since I just made it that Atalanta, and her had a very close mother, daughter relationship. Basically Atalanta by accident adopted her. Not that she or Medea minded. Though you can imagine how… awkward it was when they met up again as servants. Considering Medea's ahem… future. But despite some bits of drama, there will be some funny and cute moments there.
With all that said. I hope you just enjoy what's to come next. Oh, and actually I do want to say one more thing that may interest you all my dear readers.
I had planned this for a good while and I finally have it down to a what I want it to be mostly. But I decided to write up a story that is a direct prequel to this one. That being the events that happened before Chaldea Reacts or A.K.A the custom Lost Belts I told you all about a while back that's part of my story Chaldea. It may be still a bit before I post the first chapter up. BUT I'll say some of these custom worlds. Being ones from other media like I said before. Again, makes sense since the other-other story with the out of town relatives was a good chunk responsible for the changes. BUT some of the worlds will seem odd. But I picked them with the best idea in mind for said crypter. At least most of them, I'll admit one I'm still iffy on and that's around the last one.
That said keep an eye out for the Chaldea Reacts prequel story in the near future. I'll most likely do a temp post on this fic once I do post up the first chapter either way. So keep an eye on notifications also.
Now until the newest chapter is out. I wish you all, like always to have the best days ahead for you! : )
