The orange makes sense.
The Dangerous beast outfit is very popular even outside FGO

I should probably try to salvage Alaya in another ending.
Good luck with that, she just keeps shooting herself in the feet

You want to know something for canon Konosuba aqua is actually was good at her job in the divine realm to get people to isekai to the konsuba world that when she became kazuma item and was brought to the mortal realm. The replacement couldn't get a single person to isekai so Kazuma is the last isekai hero for that world.
I know, and that's soo Aqua, she became very competent when you don't expect her to be competent

For good reason, right along the Halloween outfit Nightengale wore.

That's why I said the next one...too far a hole to make her look good now.

Cu-nosuba Chapter 35a25: Arguments, Opportunities, and Mishaps. New
Emiya has done many distasteful things as a Counter Guardian.

He has done many stupid things as well.

Most the result from dealing with the unconsciousness of Humanity, but he has accepted that a long time ago. He may not be happy with much of it, but he has begrudgingly come to terms with it.

"Comrade!" Darnic says cheerfully.

'I refuse to accept this!'

But the chain looping around his neck stops him from killing the Nazi.

"I'll save you as soon as I-"

"How the Hell did you become a Counter Guardian?!" Aqua shouts, making Darnic stop and look at her, now pulling out a second luger.

"You…!"

'…Honestly, Nazi or not, I can't even blame him for going for revenge…Though how the Hell did he become a Counter Guardian!?' Emiya thinks as the chain tightens.

===

"Why the Hell did you make him a Counter Guardian?!" Kazuma asks the pulsating rip, ignoring the low moans and questionable sounds coming from it.

"Only one third of that is my- Hng~…fault…maybe half…reasoning is hard for me right now…" Alaya says in a sweet, if weaker voice.

"How do you figure that? I doubt Eris said this was a good idea!"

"That coward- not there~!...like the rest of Heaven and other conceptual beings…have a very l—oooo~…low…standard…for recruiting help…just look at yourself for proof, you slow killer of the Demon King~. Not like I need to mention the other guys Aqua sent over…" Alaya says with a dozen voice breaks.

"Don't insult me! I sent over lots of heroes! But more importantly…can you help me?" Aqua says as Darnic approaches.

"How can you say anything about a low standard? And don't call Eris a coward!"

"Maybe I wouldn't if she didn't have two angels holding her up in the air away from Fergus!" Alaya shouts before a fleshy smack sounds out, making her whimper before feebly continuing.

"I'm not going anywhere near him!" Eris shouts from further away.

"As for the other two reasons…It's hard to think clearly with Fergus here…and the Nazi made some good points…"

"What possible points could he had made?" Rin asks.

"Unlike the last 5 I sent, he can follow orders~."

"Him following orders is his worst trait!" Kazuma shouts.

"Die you blue horror!" Darnic shouts while shooting at a crying Aqua.

"Not sure he even has that now…Is this what humans call lying at the interview?" Alaya says while biting back a moan.

"If anyone is going to kill her it is me!" Shirou the priest says, throwing a black key at Darnic. He readies another blade but stops when Darnic raises his hands in mock surrender.

"…I am more than willing to oblige your attempt on my life. But surely you share my ill will at this blue woman?"

"What are you suggesting?"

"A short truce until we kill her. We both have cause enough for earlier, so why not remove her together? Then we can continue our prior fight without interruption from the divinely dull."

"…I hate you, but you make a good point." Shirou says, prompting Darnic to smile and Aqua to cry before running away. The temporary allies give chase, on their way to kill a God.

"Told you, he makes good points…and compared to you and Emiya, he has more of a skill set at the start, being both a skilled mage and disciplined military officer…Oh thank Heaven he's finally slowing down!" Alaya says with a smile.

"Dealing with Vlad and the one Emiya must have tired me out more than I thought…" Fergus says.

"Create Water." Kazuma says, filling a large water bottle.

"W-what are you…" Alaya whimpers out, a fear making her voice crack further.

"Here you go Fergus. It's full of mana so you should be able to keep going with this."

"WHAT?!"

"Thanks lad!"

"No no no no I'm already scatter brained on a good day, if you give him that I'll completely-" Alaya groans at seeing the bottle handed to Fergus, who drinks it one long swallow, completely revitalized, and howling with salacious intent as Alaya crumbles from the renewed pacing.

Rin looks on neutrally with red cheeks along with Jeanne.

Darkness is smiling.

Megumin is judging.

Shakespeare takes notes; Avicebron judges Shakespeare and his note taking.

Servant Kazuma fills another water bottle and tosses it into the rift, eliciting another squeal of blissful sounding horror.

'…Since one of these Kazuma's is a servant, does that mean he could…But how can I be-' Rin thinks while suppressing a grin.

"Since you are a Servant, does that mean you can give yourself water and infinitely replenish your stamina?" Jeanne asks, shocking Rin.

"Huh…I don't know actually. Probably? I'll have to try that out sometime." Kazuma the Servant says.

'Yes!' Rin and Jeanne think at the same time.

'…At least you're not calling it a sign…hopefully it works on Sieg too.' Leticia thinks, making Jeanne glance away.

"…Can you give me my damn trench coat back?" Ritsuka asks, still covering herself with her arms.

"But you look amazing!" Medea says.

"Indeed you do Senpai~." Mash says with a grin.

'I'll have vengeance for this Mash…'

'We both know you won't stop at dressing me up. Don't use this as a pretense.'
Mash thinks back as Kazuma hands the trench coat back while looking to the ceiling and Ritsuka quickly dresses herself, frowning as Medea takes more pictures.

Scathach lobs a rune on the chain, symbols appearing on the chain around Emiya's neck before it grows slack.

"…Figures there is another mongrel with a method of counteracting my chains. I'll just have to deal with you f-"

"ARRRTHUR!" Lancelot shouts, making Gilgamesh grimace, before relaxing when he sees him attacking Mordred.

Then he startles.

"You mad dog, she is mine!" Gilgamesh shouts as Lancelot sends Mordred into a wall. He looks over at Gilgamesh and slowly raises a hand, beckoning Gilgamesh to come closer. Gilgamesh grits his teeth, before having to deflect a thrown blade and spear at him.

Artoria lands with a slashing cut aimed for Lancelot's head, narrowly missing the enraged knight.

"If anyone is going to kill my son, it will be me!"

"Father!"

"You...have no say…anymore…Arthuuuur!" Lancelot says with a neck crack as he slams his blade towards Artoria, making a crater appear. A quickly summoned beast lunges for Artoria, only to be stabbed and tossed aside from Mordred.

'I absolutely hate this bizarre loyalty of hers…' Semiramis thinks before being grabbed by the neck and hefted up by Gilgamesh.

"Poisoner, we're you just trying to kill Artoria?"

"She cut off my arm!" Semiramis gargles out, prompting Shirou to look at her arms while Gilgamesh languidly raises a free hand to fire a barrage at Scathach to keep her away.

"It got better…"

"I am the bone of my sword…" The other Emiya begins, and Artoria hears this while deflecting another mad slash from Lancelot. She pulls back at the last second of another attack, making Lancelot temporarily off balanced.

"Now!" Artoria shouts and Mordred helps her toss Lancelot towards Gilgamesh.

"Unlimited Blade Works!" Emiya says, encasing the 6 of them of them in his reality marble.

"Fool…Even your Reality Marble cannot completely nullify the effects of my Noble Phantasm…! Your fame is effectively gone here!"

"I never had any fame to begin with!" Emiya answers back, making Gilgamesh laugh hard enough to drop Semiramis.

"And this isn't the first time I bested a Caster in their domain!"

"I am not a-!"

"…I have doubts your Noble Phantasm can truly turn the tide." Scathach says.

"Thankfully we have a new ally…~." Emiya says with a smirk, making Scathach raise an eyebrow as Emiya continues.

"Hey Lancelot!" Emiya shouts, making the deranged knight look his way.

"That squire is carrying your king's sheath." He says pointing at his younger self.

"What?" The younger Emiya asks as Lancelot looks at him before howling.

"Oh no…" Shirou and Gilgamesh say the same time as Lancelot charges them.

"…Not valorous, but I can appreciate quick thinking. You earned a story."

"How kind of you." Emiya says, getting another chuckle from Scathach.

Cu feels another pit in his stomach, slowing him enough to be grabbed and thrown by Atalanta.

'What is this terrible feeling…?' Cu wonders before shaking his head and resuming the fight.

Aqua turns around a corner, Shirou and Darnic quickly going around before stopping in their tracks.

Aqua is hiding behind Darkness.

"We need to be care-" Shirou starts but stops when Darnic raises his gun and shoots Darkness.

Shirou looks at Darnic flatly before coughing into his hand.

"Relax, I have it set to stun. Alaya made these for me so I wouldn't kill innocent people. She might be in pain but she'll li-"

"Oh yes~."

"What?" Darnic asks while looking at Darkness approach, smiling and panting. Darnic and Shirou step back.

"Please…empty everything from your gun into me…~"

'Oh Lord, the pervert even scares a Nazi…'

'Oh God…she must be a servant like Spartacus!'


"You distract her and I'll kill the blue thing." Darnic says.

"No, she's already disturbed me for one life time…you distract her." Shirou says.

"To be so quickly rejected for even violence…so…intoxicating~." Darkness says with a bit of drool.

Shirou and Darnic shake their fists three times.

Both pick paper.

Darkness groans before breaking into a run.

They in turn run away.



===



Chiron and Achilles continue running until they near an edge.

"Maybe we should try restraining her?"

"I'm sure that's what she wants…" Chiron says with a groan as Fiore approaches with a slight roll of her hips, a smile and closed eyes.

"I'm sure we can reason with her Teacher, you're over reac-" Achilles stops when he sees Chiron jump off the Gardens.

"Oh Gods…" Achilles mutters in shock before jumping off himself and calling his chariot, pulling his teacher into the standing area, catching him before he hits the ground. As they fly close to the ground, both men pale.

The sound of love surrounds them.

Closed eyes look up at them, some reaching for them.

"It's just like those nightmare visions…No where is safe…" Chiron mutters with vacant eyes.



===



"…I know you have a grudge, but can this be settled after we are safely on solid ground?" Mordred asks as they approach Kazuma and the others.

"No. It is quite possible between Lancelot, Gilgamesh, and this Garden falling that we may not get to solid ground…and he has avoided death for too long."

"You can summon any Servant right? And they wind up far away right?" Kazuma asks, shivering under the smiling blonde's approach.

"Yes, they wind up in Chadela, but not any Servant. Some, like Gods or certain recluses need a proper time to summon." Ritsuka says.

"What about Kings of England?"

"I got like 7 of her."

"Then get an 8th​!"

"I don't want another! Can't you just talk out whatever issue you have with Artoria?" Ritsuka asks.

Kazuma responds by raising a hand towards Ritsuka.

"…You wouldn't…!"

"If I'm going to die because of your waifu addiction, I'm taking your dignity with me!"

"Too late for that." Mash mutters before blocking Artoria's path along with Jeanne.

"Wait…that shield!" Artoria mutters.

"How are you here G-"

A shattering sound stops them all a moment. Behind them Emiya's Marble broke, and shows him face first on the ground, Semiramis also on the ground trying to stop Scathach from stabbing her, and Gilgamesh also knocked out.

Lancelot is holding Shirou by the neck as he is pulling something out of his chest, eliciting a scream.

Ritsuka pales and does a quick summon and is gladdened at seeing multiple gold signatures.

Atalanta vanishes a moment later.

"Big sis?" Jack asks, jus as confused as Cu.

Soon Emiya and Scathach vanish, puzzling and relieving Semiramis.

"Not good…we'll have to make an emergency call for-" Mash is cut off as she too vanishes…as well as Jeanne.

Lancelot finishes pulling out the scabbard from Shirou's chest, leaving the exhausted young man on the ground, unable to move.

"Oh no…Wait, why was it in him of all people!?" Artoria shouts with white cheeks.

"Why was what in him…?" Kazuma asks, already sure he'll hate the answer as Lancelot ties the sheathe to his waist.

"My sheathe…it's magical with healing properties…"

"How much healing are we talking about?" Rin asks.

"…He's effectively immortal now." Artoria says with a warble as Lancelot turns their way.

"Make another summon!" Rin shouts.

"I can't, there's a 5 minute cool down!" Ritsuka says.

"What kind of gacha system has a cool down for summoning?!" Kazuma shouts.



===

Jeanne finds herself in a plain looking room with a very confused looking Mash and Atalanta. Scathach stands with crossed arms and a grimace. Emiya is barely standing.

Jeanne leaves the room and goes into a nearby empty looking room.

"…Don't usually see you summoned Mash. Want to help me with the introduce-" A fat blonde man begins to say.

"We need to get back to Senpai now! They are in the middle of a Singularity!"

"Ok, we'll fire up the system. Do you want to take anyone else other than Scathach along with-"

A scream of sheer fury startles the room into silence. Soon a low maniacal laughter starts.
 
Emiya has done many distasteful things as a Counter Guardian.

He has done many stupid things as well.

Most the result from dealing with the unconsciousness of Humanity, but he has accepted that a long time ago. He may not be happy with much of it, but he has begrudgingly come to terms with it.

"Comrade!" Darnic says cheerfully.

'I refuse to accept this!'
Honestly, that is a valid crashout

But the chain looping around his neck stops him from killing the Nazi.
Captain Blazkowicz would be dissapointed by this

"How the Hell did you become a Counter Guardian?!" Aqua shouts, making Darnic stop and look at her, now pulling out a second luger.

"You…!"

'…Honestly, Nazi or not, I can't even blame him for going for revenge…Though how the Hell did he become a Counter Guardian!?' Emiya thinks as the chain tightens.
Because Alaya sucks?

"Why the Hell did you make him a Counter Guardian?!" Kazuma asks the pulsating rip, ignoring the low moans and questionable sounds coming from it.

"Only one third of that is my- Hng~…fault…maybe half…reasoning is hard for me right now…" Alaya says in a sweet, if weaker voice.
I'm starting to agree with Fergus, she shouldn't be allowed to make her own choices

"How do you figure that? I doubt Eris said this was a good idea!"
Exactly!

"That coward- not there~!...like the rest of Heaven and other conceptual beings…have a very l—oooo~…low…standard…for recruiting help…just look at yourself for proof, you slow killer of the Demon King~. Not like I need to mention the other guys Aqua sent over…" Alaya says with a dozen voice breaks.

"Don't insult me! I sent over lots of heroes! But more importantly…can you help me?" Aqua says as Darnic approaches.
Recruiting Neets is a thing but fucking Nazis?! At least Aqua's actually wanted to help due to the good of their hearths(alongside living their fantasies), even Kazuma has a better morality than Darnic, wait, no, comparing the two of them is insulting to Kazuma, again, because he is a fucking Nazi!!
The fact that he wasn't just rejected by being a Nazi is wrong on so many levels

"How can you say anything about a low standard? And don't call Eris a coward!"

"Maybe I wouldn't if she didn't have two angels holding her up in the air away from Fergus!" Alaya shouts before a fleshy smack sounds out, making her whimper before feebly continuing.

"I'm not going anywhere near him!" Eris shouts from further away.
Being honest, that's just being a smart person, godess, you got it

"As for the other two reasons…It's hard to think clearly with Fergus here…and the Nazi made some good points…"

"What possible points could he had made?" Rin asks.
This better be good

"Unlike the last 5 I sent, he can follow orders~."
That's all? THAT'S ALL!? EMIYA WAS FOLLOWING YOUR ORDERS SINCE THE START YOU-Wait, 5? MHX,EMIYA, Sasaki, Shirou.... Who is the fifth? Kazuma counts? I think he counts

"Him following orders is his worst trait!" Kazuma shouts.
Part of the course with being a Nazi, I may be repeating myself but he is a fucking Nazi

"Die you blue horror!" Darnic shouts while shooting at a crying Aqua.

"Not sure he even has that now…Is this what humans call lying at the interview?" Alaya says while biting back a moan.
The fact that you believed him in the first place is what surprises me, he is part of the dogma that mastered propaganda to follow what they wanted the public to believe, they are the masters of making people, their people, that what they are doing is a mandate from heavens

"If anyone is going to kill her it is me!" Shirou the priest says, throwing a black key at Darnic. He readies another blade but stops when Darnic raises his hands in mock surrender.

"…I am more than willing to oblige your attempt on my life. But surely you share my ill will at this blue woman?"

"What are you suggesting?"

"A short truce until we kill her. We both have cause enough for earlier, so why not remove her together? Then we can continue our prior fight without interruption from the divinely dull."

"…I hate you, but you make a good point." Shirou says, prompting Darnic to smile and Aqua to cry before running away. The temporary allies give chase, on their way to kill a God.
Wait, what? You were chasing him since WW2 and it only needed a blue woman to destroy your church and steal your kill to ally him instead of taking the chance to actually complete your vengeance? Is everyone in this grail war retarded

"Told you, he makes good points…and compared to you and Emiya, he has more of a skill set at the start, being both a skilled mage and disciplined military officer…Oh thank Heaven he's finally slowing down!" Alaya says with a smile.
...I know what Kazuma is thinking, and I aprove

"Dealing with Vlad and the one Emiya must have tired me out more than I thought…" Fergus says.
The fact that he says it so calmly

"Create Water." Kazuma says, filling a large water bottle.

"W-what are you…" Alaya whimpers out, a fear making her voice crack further.

"Here you go Fergus. It's full of mana so you should be able to keep going with this."

"WHAT?!"
Hahahahaha get fucked! Literally

"No no no no I'm already scatter brained on a good day, if you give him that I'll completely-" Alaya groans at seeing the bottle handed to Fergus, who drinks it one long swallow, completely revitalized, and howling with salacious intent as Alaya crumbles from the renewed pacing.
Mindbreaking the unconcious will of humanity, this should be added to his legend lol

Rin looks on neutrally with red cheeks along with Jeanne.

Darkness is smiling.

Megumin is judging.
I know what all of them have in their minds huhuhu

Shakespeare takes notes; Avicebron judges Shakespeare and his note taking.
I'm feeling peak

Servant Kazuma fills another water bottle and tosses it into the rift, eliciting another squeal of blissful sounding horror.

'…Since one of these Kazuma's is a servant, does that mean he could…But how can I be-' Rin thinks while suppressing a grin.

"Since you are a Servant, does that mean you can give yourself water and infinitely replenish your stamina?" Jeanne asks, shocking Rin.
Not sure if it would work that way, Medea makes sense because she literally breaks the rules but to make something a servant takes their masters energy, it may work to stack some extra energy from before an emergency happens but not on the fly

"Huh…I don't know actually. Probably? I'll have to try that out sometime." Kazuma the Servant says.

'Yes!' Rin and Jeanne think at the same time.
Ladies, wait for your turn

'…At least you're not calling it a sign…hopefully it works on Sieg too.' Leticia thinks, making Jeanne glance away.
Pshhh, how do I tell you?

"…Can you give me my damn trench coat back?" Ritsuka asks, still covering herself with her arms.

"But you look amazing!" Medea says.

"Indeed you do Senpai~." Mash says with a grin.
This is a sight to behold~

'I'll have vengeance for this Mash…'

'We both know you won't stop at dressing me up. Don't use this as a pretense.'
Mash thinks back as Kazuma hands the trench coat back while looking to the ceiling and Ritsuka quickly dresses herself, frowning as Medea takes more pictures.
She is a woman of culture after all

Scathach lobs a rune on the chain, symbols appearing on the chain around Emiya's neck before it grows slack.

"…Figures there is another mongrel with a method of counteracting my chains. I'll just have to deal with you f-"
It's Scathatch, she can do a lot of things with her runes, including making a Merlin, don't ask questions

"ARRRTHUR!" Lancelot shouts, making Gilgamesh grimace, before relaxing when he sees him attacking Mordred.

Then he startles.

"You mad dog, she is mine!" Gilgamesh shouts as Lancelot sends Mordred into a wall. He looks over at Gilgamesh and slowly raises a hand, beckoning Gilgamesh to come closer. Gilgamesh grits his teeth, before having to deflect a thrown blade and spear at him.
Ok, I understand wanting an Oyakodon but this is excessive, also would be better with the Lancer or Ruler Artoria just for the different body types

"If anyone is going to kill my son, it will be me!"

"Father!"
This is touching... Why is this touching!?

"You...have no say…anymore…Arthuuuur!" Lancelot says with a neck crack as he slams his blade towards Artoria, making a crater appear. A quickly summoned beast lunges for Artoria, only to be stabbed and tossed aside from Mordred.
Huh, they really work well together

'I absolutely hate this bizarre loyalty of hers…' Semiramis thinks before being grabbed by the neck and hefted up by Gilgamesh.
Get over it is part of the pacjage

"Poisoner, we're you just trying to kill Artoria?"

"She cut off my arm!" Semiramis gargles out, prompting Shirou to look at her arms while Gilgamesh languidly raises a free hand to fire a barrage at Scathach to keep her away.

"It got better…"
I understood the reference

"I am the bone of my sword…" The other Emiya begins, and Artoria hears this while deflecting another mad slash from Lancelot. She pulls back at the last second of another attack, making Lancelot temporarily off balanced.

"Now!" Artoria shouts and Mordred helps her toss Lancelot towards Gilgamesh.

"Unlimited Blade Works!" Emiya says, encasing the 6 of them of them in his reality marble.
And here it comes!

"Fool…Even your Reality Marble cannot completely nullify the effects of my Noble Phantasm…! Your fame is effectively gone here!"

"I never had any fame to begin with!" Emiya answers back, making Gilgamesh laugh hard enough to drop Semiramis.
Yeah, this is just a net positive

"And this isn't the first time I bested a Caster in their domain!"

"I am not a-!"
Just roll with it!

"…I have doubts your Noble Phantasm can truly turn the tide." Scathach says.
You would be surprised about what is inside there

"Thankfully we have a new ally…~." Emiya says with a smirk, making Scathach raise an eyebrow as Emiya continues.

"Hey Lancelot!" Emiya shouts, making the deranged knight look his way.

"That squire is carrying your king's sheath." He says pointing at his younger self.

"What?" The younger Emiya asks as Lancelot looks at him before howling.
Oh, I see where he is going

"Oh no…" Shirou and Gilgamesh say the same time as Lancelot charges them.
Oh yes

"…Not valorous, but I can appreciate quick thinking. You earned a story."

"How kind of you." Emiya says, getting another chuckle from Scathach.
This is gonna be great

Cu feels another pit in his stomach, slowing him enough to be grabbed and thrown by Atalanta.

'What is this terrible feeling…?' Cu wonders before shaking his head and resuming the fight.
The feeling of childhood stories being revealed

Aqua is hiding behind Darkness.

"We need to be care-" Shirou starts but stops when Darnic raises his gun and shoots Darkness.

Shirou looks at Darnic flatly before coughing into his hand.
Are you even surprised?

"Relax, I have it set to stun. Alaya made these for me so I wouldn't kill innocent people. She might be in pain but she'll li-"
Oh thank god, she isn't completely brainless

"Oh yes~."

"What?" Darnic asks while looking at Darkness approach, smiling and panting. Darnic and Shirou step back.
Yeah, she is kinky like that

"Please…empty everything from your gun into me…~"

'Oh Lord, the pervert even scares a Nazi…'

'Oh God…she must be a servant like Spartacus!'
I mean, both of them are kinda right, though Darkness isn't a servant but she is more similar to Spartacus than you would believe

"You distract her and I'll kill the blue thing." Darnic says.

"No, she's already disturbed me for one life time…you distract her." Shirou says.

"To be so quickly rejected for even violence…so…intoxicating~." Darkness says with a bit of drool.
Typical Darkness

Shirou and Darnic shake their fists three times.

Both pick paper.
Hah, classic

Darkness groans before breaking into a run.

They in turn run away.
The chase will just make it worse


"Maybe we should try restraining her?"

"I'm sure that's what she wants…" Chiron says with a groan as Fiore approaches with a slight roll of her hips, a smile and closed eyes.
He has a point

"I'm sure we can reason with her Teacher, you're over reac-" Achilles stops when he sees Chiron jump off the Gardens.
Surprised it took this long

"Oh Gods…" Achilles mutters in shock before jumping off himself and calling his chariot, pulling his teacher into the standing area, catching him before he hits the ground. As they fly close to the ground, both men pale.

The sound of love surrounds them.

Closed eyes look up at them, some reaching for them.

"It's just like those nightmare visions…No where is safe…" Chiron mutters with vacant eyes.
Just how traumatized is he?

"…I know you have a grudge, but can this be settled after we are safely on solid ground?" Mordred asks as they approach Kazuma and the others.

"No. It is quite possible between Lancelot, Gilgamesh, and this Garden falling that we may not get to solid ground…and he has avoided death for too long."
Girl, you have bigger problems than Kazuma

"You can summon any Servant right? And they wind up far away right?" Kazuma asks, shivering under the smiling blonde's approach.
That's not exactly how it works

"Yes, they wind up in Chadela, but not any Servant. Some, like Gods or certain recluses need a proper time to summon." Ritsuka says.

"What about Kings of England?"

"I got like 7 of her."

"Then get an 8th​!"
*Looks at Lord Logress the ultimate King Arthur* Not sure how much would help at this point, also a lot of people hate her

"I don't want another! Can't you just talk out whatever issue you have with Artoria?" Ritsuka asks.
Have you tried reasoning with her?

Kazuma responds by raising a hand towards Ritsuka.

"…You wouldn't…!"

"If I'm going to die because of your waifu addiction, I'm taking your dignity with me!"

"Too late for that." Mash mutters before blocking Artoria's path along with Jeanne.
She lost it at summer, with her sanity at halloween

"Wait…that shield!" Artoria mutters.

"How are you here G-"
Long story short, have to help save human history by merging with a sickly girl

A shattering sound stops them all a moment. Behind them Emiya's Marble broke, and shows him face first on the ground, Semiramis also on the ground trying to stop Scathach from stabbing her, and Gilgamesh also knocked out.

Lancelot is holding Shirou by the neck as he is pulling something out of his chest, eliciting a scream.
Well shit

Ritsuka pales and does a quick summon and is gladdened at seeing multiple gold signatures.
Oh thank god

Atalanta vanishes a moment later.

"Big sis?" Jack asks, jus as confused as Cu.
What the hell?

Soon Emiya and Scathach vanish, puzzling and relieving Semiramis.
No seriously, what the hell?

"Not good…we'll have to make an emergency call for-" Mash is cut off as she too vanishes…as well as Jeanne.
That doesn't even makes sense, Mash isn't even a summonable servant, she is the one responsible to make the summon work

Lancelot finishes pulling out the scabbard from Shirou's chest, leaving the exhausted young man on the ground, unable to move.

"Oh no…Wait, why was it in him of all people!?" Artoria shouts with white cheeks.
Did she forgot he is Kiritsugu's son?, wait, did she ever learned that?

"Why was what in him…?" Kazuma asks, already sure he'll hate the answer as Lancelot ties the sheathe to his waist.

"My sheathe…it's magical with healing properties…"
That's an understatement

"How much healing are we talking about?" Rin asks.

"…He's effectively immortal now." Artoria says with a warble as Lancelot turns their way.
And have the better defense that a servant can get

"Make another summon!" Rin shouts.

"I can't, there's a 5 minute cool down!" Ritsuka says.
Oh crap basckets

"What kind of gacha system has a cool down for summoning?!" Kazuma shouts.
A terrible one

Jeanne finds herself in a plain looking room with a very confused looking Mash and Atalanta. Scathach stands with crossed arms and a grimace. Emiya is barely standing.
Wait, there's now two EMIYA's in chaldea? Archer EMIYA to be clear

Jeanne leaves the room and goes into a nearby empty looking room.

"…Don't usually see you summoned Mash. Want to help me with the introduce-" A fat blonde man begins to say.
Yay, Gordes the phoenix Musik!

"We need to get back to Senpai now! They are in the middle of a Singularity!"

"Ok, we'll fire up the system. Do you want to take anyone else other than Scathach along with-"

A scream of sheer fury startles the room into silence. Soon a low maniacal laughter starts.
Well, that is not ominous at all

Wait, if this is during the lostbelts/ordeal calls, then why didn't Gudako summoned any of her Shadow servants? She can do it anytime
 
Because Alaya sucks?

I'm starting to agree with Fergus, she shouldn't be allowed to make her own choices

Recruiting Neets is a thing but fucking Nazis?! At least Aqua's actually wanted to help due to the good of their hearths(alongside living their fantasies), even Kazuma has a better morality than Darnic, wait, no, comparing the two of them is insulting to Kazuma, again, because he is a fucking Nazi!!
The fact that he wasn't just rejected by being a Nazi is wrong on so many levels

This better be good

That's all? THAT'S ALL!? EMIYA WAS FOLLOWING YOUR ORDERS SINCE THE START YOU-Wait, 5? MHX,EMIYA, Sasaki, Shirou.... Who is the fifth? Kazuma counts? I think he counts

Part of the course with being a Nazi, I may be repeating myself but he is a fucking Nazi

The fact that you believed him in the first place is what surprises me, he is part of the dogma that mastered propaganda to follow what they wanted the public to believe, they are the masters of making people, their people, that what they are doing is a mandate from heavens

Wait, what? You were chasing him since WW2 and it only needed a blue woman to destroy your church and steal your kill to ally him instead of taking the chance to actually complete your vengeance? Is everyone in this grail war retarded

Mindbreaking the unconcious will of humanity, this should be added to his legend lol

Not sure if it would work that way, Medea makes sense because she literally breaks the rules but to make something a servant takes their masters energy, it may work to stack some extra energy from before an emergency happens but not on the fly

Ok, I understand wanting an Oyakodon but this is excessive, also would be better with the Lancer or Ruler Artoria just for the different body types

Are you even surprised?

Girl, you have bigger problems than Kazuma

That doesn't even makes sense, Mash isn't even a summonable servant, she is the one responsible to make the summon work

Did she forgot he is Kiritsugu's son?, wait, did she ever learned that?

Wait, there's now two EMIYA's in chaldea? Archer EMIYA to be clear

Well, that is not ominous at all

Wait, if this is during the lostbelts/ordeal calls, then why didn't Gudako summoned any of her Shadow servants? She can do it anytime

I could say having Fergus Fergusing her makes thinking, already a difficult task for her, harder, and the general shitshow that arise from the others is making her desperate but I doubt I can pardon anything she does being asinine, if possibly well meaning, and as an excuse for my chaotic plans. Maybe believing his thing as atonement and putting him on a probation period.

Quite possibly...could also be not wanting Aqua to ruin revenge again but this might be an underdeveloped part on my end.

....I think I will add that to the legend. Not sure how or when yet.

Not sure either, but magic and skills from that world would likely be part of his kit and it did already affect servants.

In Gil's defense, he doesn't know such versions exist yet, otherwise I'm sure it could be a repeat of his Fate Carnival scene with Cafe Maid Alter

Just because he isn't surprised, doesn't mean he can't judge.

True, but at this point death from Lancelot or fate worse than death via Gil and Shirou is a high possibilty. May as well enjoy something, and what better father son bonding is there than murder?

Ritsuka has both EX and negative EX luck.

Saber knew about him being his son but I don't think she knows he had the sheath

Is meant to be worrisome.

I only finished the China lostbelt years ago [procrastination still has me on London] so I likely am missing info.
 
All im thinking by the end kazuma is going to join with his servant version and become a demi servant all to be able to satisfy the harem that he both wants and dont want at the same time.

At least that makes sense, if only a little, though she was already dumb before getting Fergus'd so now she is even worse

Quite possibly...could also be not wanting Aqua to ruin revenge again but this might be an underdeveloped part on my end.
At this point let's just say it's both, because if he didn't wanted Aqua to ruin his vengeance then he should had killed him before getting to her

....I think I will add that to the legend. Not sure how or when yet.
That's hilarious, and will probably have him in the seducer/ temptress class, yes that is a thing

Not sure either, but magic and skills from that world would likely be part of his kit and it did already affect servants.
Yeah but I mean that the things he create are made with the reserves he has access to so it would only work to give others mana, because if using it on himself then he would only recharge the energy used on making the water without counting the toll of his existence so it would work better stockpiling before the action so both he and his master are maintained recharged

In Gil's defense, he doesn't know such versions exist yet, otherwise I'm sure it could be a repeat of his Fate Carnival scene with Cafe Maid Alter
I can already picture it, god it's so funny

Just because he isn't surprised, doesn't mean he can't judge.
Fair enough

True, but at this point death from Lancelot or fate worse than death via Gil and Shirou is a high possibilty. May as well enjoy something, and what better father son bonding is there than murder?
Makes sense but still damm

Ritsuka has both EX and negative EX luck.
Still doesn't makes sense, Mash isn't even possible to be summoned she is a demi servant the servant is inside her so a summon would actually take Galahad from the throne, let's say it was a bug made by the singularity

Saber knew about him being his son but I don't think she knows he had the sheath
Where else would he let it?

Is meant to be worrisome.
Again fair enough

I only finished the China lostbelt years ago [procrastination still has me on London] so I likely am missing info.
That's a thing since the pseudo singularities Wich are before the lostbelts, basically her Mystic codes(The clothes she uses), and I mean all of them that Ritsuka uses, can summon lesser copies of the servants contracted to Chaldea Wich have all skills, abilities, noble phantasms but lesser stats and without the ability to act independently
And though Mash can be petty she wouldn't make Ritsuka lose her only mean of defense(Especially since even before the shadow servants those were used to give her access to spells)

I suspect I need more practice in making characters.

Let us say both. Though I do like the idea of Aqua getting into trouble by trying to help and making two nemisis put aside their differences.

....Are you fucking with me? How is that a thing, or is it an unofficial thing/ skill with certain servants like Kiara and Beast Nero?

I thought since it basically supercharged Servants back to full and was a low level spell it wouldn't have that much a cost?

Honestly, I have no defense for that. I think I just wanted to be silly for a moment. Let's just say it Konosuba effect?

I don't think there was really any indication aside from his faster healing that he had the sheath right? No mana traces or anything like that?

I am continually surprised how much lore I am learning from this fic...wait, are those the dark enemies in the game?

Oh don't think bad it was hilarious but Alaya doesn't have a reputation of making good choices

That sounds so Aqua

It comes from Tiger colosseum from what I remember, there are other extra classes that were outside of FGO that they may be able to add but would be a headache, for example Voyager have a class of the same name but they made him a Foreigner to make things more simple l, Case files had Faker Wich wasn't a proper class but could be considered the predecessor of the pretender class, then we have Boxer class Wich is usually overwritten by the assassin or berserker class since fighters that fight barehanded usually qualify for one or the other

I thought since it basically supercharged Servants back to full and was a low level spell it wouldn't have that much a cost?
Kinda? I think it's more of a Aoko situation in Wich it works surprisingly efficiently but I'm not sure how much it would work as a servant because they are both buffed and nerfed compared to their living selves
Like you van have Shakespeare fight his servant self and the servant would win but you have Heracles fight any of his servant selfs in any class and the servant is stomped

Honestly, I have no defense for that. I think I just wanted to be silly for a moment. Let's just say it Konosuba effect?
So the Konosuba particles affected the machinery making something that shouldn't happen happen, yep, makes sense already happened before *Looks at Eli particles and Gudaguda particles*

I don't think there was really any indication aside from his faster healing that he had the sheath right? No mana traces or anything like that?
I mean not sure how much Saber knew but I think she at least was suspicious in canon since Shirou survived almost being cut in half

I am continually surprised how much lore I am learning from this fic...wait, are those the dark enemies in the game?
Something like that yes, I think they based it in that, but also the servants you use that aren't story given are usually considered shadow servants, post part 1 that is
And to make it more funny we can say that Mash asked Day Vinci to make a dangerous beast Mystic code for her vengeance but Ritsuka has no idea it's a Mystic code
So when she knows she can start making shadow servants and shooting paralyzing Gandrs while feeling stupid

True...Still think I need to work on that part of writing though.

Oh, never heard of that...sounds like it could be fun. I'm assuming it's a parody game?

Sounds like there could be a fair bit of wiggle room and argument for this...

Man...Still recall the Nobu enemy sounds from that event.

I am semi recalling it took awhile in the canon until they figured it out.

Love that idea, but I was thinking of something else with Gudako and the Dangerous Beast outfit...but that could make for a nice addition.

You do you, I think you are doing great but follow your feelings

Oh, never heard of that...sounds like it could be fun. I'm assuming it's a parody game?
Yep, but my point is maintained, many classes come from other Fate medias and there's even some fics that uses them, I still wonder how they plan to use Watcher in the future after strange fake

Sounds like there could be a fair bit of wiggle room and argument for this...
Kinda yeah, I think it would be similar to how there's a arrow creation skill, servants create their projectiles from the magical energy of their masters but the Arrow creation makes it so they are more cheap to make and more powerfull but still takes energy

Man...Still recall the Nobu enemy sounds from that event.
Rule 36 of chaldea, never talk about the chibi nobus *Having flashbacks of vietnam*

I am semi recalling it took awhile in the canon until they figured it out.
I'm pretty sure Artoria should had known it but didn't mentioned it because she wasn't going to reveal her name and Avalon was a great hint, also because Shirou needed it to survive his stupidity and knowing him he would had given it back if he knew he had it

Thank you.

Shame I didn't play them and psp is dead.

Hmm...Wonder how far these definitions could go.

But they're adorble!

Yeah that sounds fair.

Hope it is when it is written
 
No worries
Edit: I had caps on lol

Shame I didn't play them and psp is dead.
There are still emulators, piracy can only be considered a crime is you are able to own the game

Hmm...Wonder how far these definitions could go.
Depends from case to case

But they're adorble!
And madness incarnate

Yeah that sounds fair.
Tbf, there are many things that never got explained in the VN but got said in side materials, that and the fandom confusing fanon with canon make it so sometimes these things get confusing

For example Shinji is actually talented in everything and I mean EVERYTHING except Magecraft(Only because he can't practice it but when he got access to magical energy for less than a week he learned a spell and was able to use it in a fight)
But to us he will always be the incompetent minor antagonist unless it's one of the spin offs then he is comic relief
Addendum: This explanations were only given in side materials and interviews

Hope it is when it is written
I trust your process

I trust your process

Yeah, unfortunately I am hard pressed for time on that front.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Wait seriously? That seems like a major thing to not include, though with how long the vn was some things are bound to be left alone...just hard imagining him competent after the stupidity he did [Yay, I got a new servant and there will be no drawbacks to this!]. His Fate Extra version doesn't help either.

I appreciate the trust

That's fair, but hey, maybe some day you will have free time to enjoy it.

I mean, depends on the type of madness.

That's because of time complications, because of that some things had to be rushed including things like Heavens Feel was supposed to be very different because they had to push Sakura's route with part of Illya's, there was also supposed to be more like Medea or Medusa routes and an option to join teams with Shinji wich is what would had shown his good side but ended scrapped.
We also know thanks to side material that Medusa was summoned around a week before EMIYA Archer so it was a week in wich Shinji and Rider had to hunt for magical energy, make the bounded field and somehow he learned magecraft by using scraps Medusa's reserves while also balancing it so she isn't drained.
Those shadows he made in the Fate route, those were all him, the only flaw that Shinji had is that his psyche was very fragile, like, it was stated that the Grail war was when he was at his worst. There's also other things like referring his freindship with Shirou in wich he destroyed the social life of everyone that tried to take advantage of him(Like, not lying he did this shit)
We also have other funny things in side materials like the servant most compatible to Rin being Gilgamesh so without Emiya he would had been summoned, like, how the hell was Emiya's grail war with two Gilgamesh's lol.

I appreciate the trust
You deserve it.

You deserve it.
Hopefully.

Fair...As adorable as they are, being shot wouldn't be fun.

Makes sense, though saddening to hear there was a Medea and Dusa route planned...Are the side material available online? because I am genuinely curious now how a route with an ally Shinji would have worked out. Hell, Gilgamesh being Rin's most compatible Servant is a shocker given the personality, Ishtar, and literally helping kill her father in the last war.

Thank you again.

I think there are some translations online, I remember seeing some translations about Nasu's interviews and the side material book is literally called Fate/Side Material
Also when you think about it Ishtar with Rin as a vessel is more similar to Gilgamesh than actual Rin

Thank you for the answer...and I thought that would make her less likely to summon him since he generally dislikes Ishtar?

It's more complicated than that, affinity summon doesn't actually gives you someone similar to you for good or bad, and when Rin became vessel of Ishtar what she did was give her a human perspective(And mellow some of her worst tendencies), in her POV of when she just became one with Rin she said that since she was Rin and she was Ishtar so Rin was Ishtar, wich is the type of logic Gil would follow
Seeing everything it makes sense for Gil to be summoned by Rin

Guess I was mistaken given the Ryounsuke and Gilles situation in Zero and to a lesser extent, Jack and Reika. Though it does seem like solid grounds for a story to have a Servant who absolutely hates their master but got summoned due to high affinity

I mean, Ryounosuke and Gilles is different because he was summoned by his book that Ryounosuke had, but aside from that they are actually very similar, also Jack also was summoned by a catalist but she killed her master and Reika adopted her
 
Cu-nosuba Chapter 35a26: Calm, Madness, and Fury. New
Jeanne returns to the summoning room with a smile.

An overweight blonde man hesitates before approaching her, not able to look her in her dual colored eyes for long.

"Hello miss, my name is Goredolf, w-would you like a tour of the facilities and-"

"Pardon me, but I would like to return to Romania." Jeanne says.

"I am unsure you should go back on account of your earlier…venting."

"I appreciate the concern, but I would appreciate it more if you send me back. I am not quite finished venting yet, and the fact you remind me of someone there…isn't helping my thinning patience." Jeanne says, the yellow in her eyes flickering over the blue portions a moment.

'Great…another version of that alternate Jeanne…Though not quite?' Goredolf thinks before showing her to the teleportation circle along with Mash and Atalanta.

"I'm surprised you aren't going in first." Emiya says.

"I am tempted, but they have more personal reasons driving them and I know not to stand in the way of angry women." Scathach says, drawing a chuckle from Emiya. His amusement dies from an instant glare.

"Apologies, I just never expected you to be wary of angry women after hearing some of your accomplishments."

"I am brave, not foolish." Scathach says before steeping into the circle and waits.

"I don't think I'll be going. Lancelot did not waste any time after I told that one story…"

"I know, but the fact you made Gilgamesh faint from shock is reason enough to drag you back. And you are not as bad in a fight as I recall."

"As much as I appreciate the praise from a warrior such as yourself, I would be dead weight in my current-" Emiya stops when he catches a water bottle thrown at his head.

"I learned to reverse causality and became immortal, meeting various Gods. You think that blue braggart's water spells is beyond me?"

"Not when you put it like that…" He says before drinking, his wounds and fatigue fading.

"Though I admit I never expected it to have such an effect on Servants…For extra motivation, you should know I have a rune that takes visual recordings. I'll let you guess the contents of some of the more amusing recordings."

"Would it be possible to have copies of those recordings?"

"I'll consider it based on how well you perform." She says with a smile, making Emiya smile back.

Cu Chulainn meanwhile is puzzled by an intense feeling of dread.

'…What is causing this…?!' He thinks before shaking his head and returning to Kazuma's side along with Jack. Then they see Lancelot.

'…Well…crap.

'

Darnic and Amakusa continue running away before seeing Fiore look into the sky from a nearby balcony.

"Fiore! It is good you are still alive! We require you're help with something…" Darnic says, trailing off when Fiore turns, her eyes closed, a smile on her face, and a subtle sway in her step as she approaches.

'She seems…different…small matter. With her wheelchair she should be able to distract that deranged blonde.' Darnic thinks with a smile that lowers as Fiore gets closer.

"I'm more than willing to help you Grandfather…~." She says in a tone that makes Darnic lean back.

"…Why do you sound so…odd Fiore? We're you hit with a curse or stray attack? You sound like that Irishman… And where is Chiron?"

"That man ran away…But I'm sure you'll do more than fine as a replacement."

"…What?" Darnic asks.

"Oh Lord…" Amakusa mutters in shock.

"Don't worry…You can join in too father, two is more than fine…or should I say daddy?"

Amakusa and Darnic look on in shock.

'Not the young woman I wanted to act this way…Wonder if Tohsaka is behaving this way too?' Darnic thinks with a momentary grin before righting himself. Amakusa caught that grin, now looking at him in sheer disdain.

"I knew you we're going to Hell before, but I could have gone without knowing the extent of your depravity…"

"This is not my fault! I have no idea what happened! She is never like this!"

"I can show you more surprises…there is an empty room nearby~."

'…I miss Semiramis…' Amakusa thinks while fighting the growing need to gag.

"What has gotten into you?!" Darnic shouts.

"Nothing yet and that is the issue~." Fiore says while stepping closer, opening one eye before winking.

Amakusa and Darnic groan in harmony while stepping back.

They groan again when they her footsteps.

They look to each other and nod as Darkness turns the corner.

"Unfortunately we cannot…this woman is preventing us!" Darnic says.

"Indeed…her constitution and will are beyond us to mount any resistance…that depraved thing may need a woman's touch." Amakusa adds.

"I am not a depraved thing!...b-but I can't say I hate being referred to as such every once in a while…~." Darkness says with a fidget before noticing Fiore approach while cracking her knuckles.

"Do you really believe you can stop me?" Darkness asks while cracking her own knuckles.

"I know I can destroy you, one handful at a time~." Fiore says, still smiling even as Darkness grabs her head with shocking speed. Fiore grips Darkness wrist.

"My, what bold words; Do you know I knocked out a Saber's teeth mere minutes a-AH!" Darkness shouts in surprise as a pop is heard at her wrist, her hand going limp as she pulls back.

"Heh…Your wrists are nothing to the nuts I crack for fun and nourishment!" Fiore says, making Amakusa stare in disgust at Darnic and raise a knife.

"She's talking about walnuts and other such hard shells that usually require a nut cracker." Darnic says with a sigh.

"Sure she is…" Amakusa says before paling along with Darnic as Darkness fixes her wrist with a smile and a moan.

'This woman must be a berserker…!' Amakusa thinks with a frown.

"You'll…do fine as a warm up~."

"Right back at you~!" Fiore says.

'…Maybe I need to name a new successor? Caelus, milquetoast as he is, would never be this swayed by lust…I think.' Darnic thinks in minor terror as they approach each other.

Darnic and Amakusa leave while they are distracted.

"So depraved…"

"I would think you would be happier with this development…priest~." Darnic says with a grin, making a vein appear on Amakusa's head.



===

"Please…I need a few huh?" Fran says, before gasping.

"I…I can speak?! But how?!" She asks aloud before shuddering as he continues, the wall of the shed threatening to give way.

"You won't be for long~." Caelus says, making Fran bite her lips in a smile.

"Oh…Oh~."

Gilgamesh pushes himself up from the ground, the taste of bile threatening to escape his mouth.

'That damn Faker…Ruining my mood twice now! And with such a horrible tale too…Saber would never willingly do that without training and consistent punishment. It has to be a lie!' Gilgamesh thinks before taking out two tonics from his treasury, handing one to a near comatose Shirou. They drink and recover, standing up and surveying the battle field.

They do not like most of what they see.

Lancelot fighting Artoria, Mordred, and Cu…and winning.

Semiramis stands up and looks for Amakusa, not liking his absence.

"…What is that on the mad dog's hip?"

"King Arthur's sheath…he is now virtually immortal."

"As if he wasn't enough of an issue before…but we must save the Sabers…!" Gilgamesh says, only to be met with silence.

"I'm not going to ask about Semiramis given the state Artoria left her in some time ago, but you Shirou?"

"I'm not against training them, but at this point it is far too risky with Lancelot… Might be better to let that dream go."

"Nonsense! What is life without dreams and joy!?"

'I think he lost some brains after becoming a Saber…surely this young man can talk him into a reasonable plan of-' Semiramis starts to think until Shirou clenches a fist with a tear in his eye.

"You're absolutely right!"

'Never mind, he's also an idiot…' Semiramis thinks with a frown before speaking.

"So you have a way to counter Lancelot?"

Both remain silent as three silhouettes appear near Ritsuka. Mash, Jeanne, and Atalanta appear as all three Sabers are pushed aside.

"…I have no idea what we can do as a plan…" Kazuma says with a pale face as Lancelot approaches but stops.

Mash steps forward with a scowl.

"Just how long do you plan to be a raving lunatic?"

Lancelot steps back, his darkened aura fading. Jeanne looks in shock.

"He's…a regular berserker again…"

"…What the Hell? Why is he scared of her?" Kazuma asks.

"Long story short, she is part Servant, and the Servant in question is Galahad." Ritsuka says with a shit eater grin.

"Galahad being?"

"Son of Lancelot." Rin says.

Kazuma looks once more at Mash, noting the curves and skimpy outfit in shock.

"The outfit's not from Galahad." Ritsuka says with a smile.

"…I'm not surprised." Kazuma says.

"Funnily enough, not from me either…but boy did it inspire me~." Ritsuka says as Medea takes another picture.

"Delete that picture or you're next."

Medea weighs her options.

She frowns when Lancelot looks at her.

She starts deleting it when Lancelot approaches.

"You will show proper respect you w-" Lancelot stops as he takes a shield to the helm, sending him flying.

"Excellent work Galahad." Artoria says now looking at Kazuma.

"You're next." Mash says, making Artoria and Mordred turn and look in shock.

"What?!" Mordred asks.

"What did I do?!" Artoria asks, drawing flat looks from Kazuma, Rin, and Jeanne. Even Cu is credulous.

"Where do you want to begin?" Shirou shouts, drawing a flat sigh from Gilgamesh.

'Not even I can defend her actions with regards to Shirou…' Gilgamesh thinks before scowling at Semiramis who sends a beast toward Artoria, and she cuts it one motion.

Karna giggles from the floor, forgotten.

Mordred the Robin chirps furiously, forgetting human speech as she hops on Servant Kazuma's head.

"To her!" Artoria adds pointing to Mash.

"You probably did something to make father this way!" Mash shouts back, making Lancelot create a strange noise as he falls to the floor.

"I did no such thing!"

"You lie! You lie as often you bweath you tyrant!" Mordred the Robin chirps out.

"She's not though…" Karna says from the floor, making Lancelot look up from the floor.

"What…?"

"Will you stop acting like a damn bell!?" Kazuma mutters at Karna.

"…Is that modern day slang?" Karna asks.

"So…it wasn't my king that said those horrible things…?"

"It wasn't. It was a spell from Kazuma to mimic my voice. I have no love for you Lancelot." Artoria says and Lancelot looks towards Karna.

"She's telling the truth."

"You bastard…" Kazuma says, looking at Karna.

"Least I'm not a liar." Karna says as Lancelot stands back up, his armor now turning purple. Ritsuka looks at the singularly list and gasps.

"A…a condition has just been unmet…but how?!"

"Because…I have once more become a Saber!" Lancelot proclaims with a fist at his heart and a smile on his face.

A smile that falls when a blade pierces through his chest.

"Lancelot?!" Artoria and Mordred shout at the same time.

"Father!" Mash shouts as Lancelot falls to the ground upon the blade being retracted from his torso.

Standing with a bloodied blade and a vacant stare is Mysterious Heroine X. She continues smiling a mirthless smile as she pulls the sheathe away from Lancelot's hip, tying it to her back.

Archer and Scathach appear.

'…Surprised this didn't happen sooner considering that kidnaping.' Emiya thinks before MHX looks at him, blade in each hand.

"All Sabers…must die…"

"I'm an Archer."

"Whose Noble Phantasm is nothing but swords!"

Ritsuka looks at the checklist. The condition that was unmet has been met again.

"…Jeanne?" Ritsuka asks.

"She's a berserker now…" Jeanne says as she walks over to Artoria.

MHX then looks at Kazuma as she approaches.

"…I'm a Caster…"

"For now. The other one was a Caster, and he was a berserker…it's only a matter of time." MHX says.

Jeanne places a hand on Artoria's shoulder.

"…What are you doing Saint?"

"I have a plan for your deranged sister."

"We are not related she is-" Artoria is unable to finish her refusal as she is thrown by Jeanne with all her strength. She manages to land on her feet.

Right in front of MHX.

"You truly are the King of Sabers! To face her all by yourself! Such courage! The age of never ending swords is sure to be realized with your victory in this fight!" Jeanne says with clasped hands in prayer, barely resisting the urge to smirk, even as Mordred raises her sword at the Saint.

'That unbelievable-!' Artoria thinks before hearing a low laugh and crack of knuckles. She readies Excalibur, ready for another fight as she turns to MHX. Only to see a shotgun pointed at her with blue wiring along the barrel, the end now glowing with a menacing shade of white as it is about to fire.

Artoria grimaces and braces herself.

'I know I caused this and bought this upon myself…but I do not regret this.' Artoria thinks before speaking.

"…How very Saber of you." Artoria says, making MHX's eye one eye turn gold as she pulls the trigger, the force of the sci fi gun sending her shattering her armor as she is sent flying through a wall. MHX instantly runs in pursuit. Mordred takes a moment, alternating between attacking Jeanne and helping Artoria. Mordred follows MHX.

The others look on in shock for a moment, Kazuma lingering on Jeanne.

'…Damn…Wonder if I can convince her to come to the other world?' Kazuma thinks before shaking his head.

'Na, Rin wouldn't go for that…And there is still one last issue…' Kazuma thinks as the issue steps forward, making a dozen spears appear with a laugh.

Amakusa and Darnic return to the main floor as Gilgamesh starts laughing manically.

They ignore him and look for the blue one, finding her behind a dozen Servants.

"We'll have to bide our time and create an opportunity to-"

"By my Command Seal-" Amakusa starts, Command Seals glowing on his back, making most everyone pale again or frown.

"You have no power over me priest, I-"

"Kill the blue thing!" He says, making Atalanta grimace as she turns to Aqua.

Karna groans weakly from the floor.

Gilgamesh laughs before angling his Gate towards a crying Aqua.

"I accept this request!" Gilgamesh says before glancing at Shirou who nods.

"Lurk," He says before vanishing as a dozen spears shoot out towards Aqua. She barely avoids them, in tears as some hit Atalanta.

"Big sis!" Jack says while trying to pull Atalanta away, only to be grabbed by her and thrown away as another barrage skewers her, making her vanish into golden sparkles.

Jack glares first at Gilgamesh then Amakusa before vanishing herself.

Aqua is cornered between dozens of spears.

The others try to charge Gilgamesh only to be stymied by chains or a barrage of weapons.

As a spear flies true straight for Aqua's head, a rip appears behind her, and a slender hand reaches out, grabbing and pulling her through, closing before the spear can follow through, destroying a chunk of wall.

Chiron wrestles with Achilles for control of the chariot.

"Why are you going back to the Gardens?!"

"I think it's a Command Seal! And will you stop, we'll crash!"

"I do not want to go back there!"

"You'd rather be on the land of this perverted and Gods forsaken Earth?!"

"At least we'll die!"

"I doubt Fiore can be that much of a horror even if she is being influenced by Fergus!" Achilles says before taking the reins back and returning to the Gardens.



===

"Oh thank Heavens…thank you Eris, I was so scared! I'll never make fun of you wearing pads ever a-" Aqua stops talking when she sees it wasn't Eris that pulled her out.

It was a smiling Alaya…With an equally grinning Fergus, and another Fergus beside them. Further on is an armored Fergus with a hammer trying to break down a spiritual door. Eris and two angels are crying from the other side.

"…Alaya, what's going on?"

"Master needs water…and another toy~."

Aqua screams before starting to run.



===



A long second passes between Darnic and Amakusa when they see Aqua vanish into the rip.

They both pivot, bringing their respective weapons toward the other.

Amakusa stabs Darnic first, three black keys in his chest. Darnic still manages to shoot Amakusa in the leg, making the latter pull back. As he readies another handful of knives he feels an intense stabbing pain in both his chest and stomach. Darnic shot him in the chest, and upon looking down he sees a scarred face framed by white hair.

"That's for Big-"

Another gunshot rings out, first through Amakusa's back, then into Jack's forehead, making her slump to the floor. Another gunshot rings out and Darnic falls to the floor as well, followed by Amakusa.

Shirou blows out the smoke from his two revolvers, before spinning them back into his holsters.

'Didn't expect her to be there, but without the one stealthy person, and Lancelot dead on the ground, this has become tremendously eas-'

A spear impaling itself into the wall by Shirou's head makes him freeze. Looking over he sees a green haired man in armor approach with a a blonde haired man with a tail, both looking utter furious.

"Lu-" Shirou feels a hand grab his ankle, then another on his other ankle. Looking down he sees Amakusa and Darnic holding him in place. Before he can do anything he feels two daggers stab into his shoulders as Jack holds onto his back.

"…Get him Big Brother…" Jack says weakly with a vindictive smile. Achilles pulls out a sword, and Chiron readies his bow, both ready to run Shirou through.

Then all five of them vanish.

"What…just happened?" Shirou says in shock.



===



Further away, Kazuma is choking Ritsuka.

"Why did you save him?!"

"The summoning…is random…" Ritsuka says before Mash pulls Kazuma back.

"Bullshit! I saw you use some special tickets specifically for those five! And why didn't you use that for Lancelot earlier or even to get rid of this asshole!?" Kazuma shouts, making Ritsuka grimace as Jeanne and Emiya turn to her.

"You think I like this? I'm already having a mental crisis at seeing him shoot a child, even if she was a Servant! Not to mention the leering earlier…And I was hoping to save those…"

"Then why?! And I want a concrete answer." Kazuma says before raising a hand, a glow starting, even as Emiya, Scathach, and Mash raise the edges of their weapons at his neck. Servant Kazuma and Jeanne bring a blade and flag staff to Mash's neck as Cu and Rin does the same to Emiya.

"Not this shit again…" Emiya mutters as Megumin makes the sigil for Explosion appear overhead as Avicebron makes golems appear.

"I think we all need to take a breath and recall who the main threat is here…" Shakespeare says.

"If he dies-"

"How? How could his death possibly lead to the end of the world?!"

"Because he's my Grandpa! If he dies, I vanish, dooming the world to all the Singularities Mash and I stopped!" Ritsuka whispers.
