"Guess so," Robin shrugged as he changed his vote to Cinder as well.

"So Robin-kun... I feel like I'm getting rude flashbacks to the Monokuma Murder Game... the whole voting process... it's just bothersome," Erika sighed as she sounded pretty tired with the whole process again. Then again, she's been in a Murder Game before, so you couldn't really blame her.

Robin nodded with a tired sigh, taking Erika's soft hand into his, "I could use a nap after all of this... Perhaps you would like to join me...?"

I DUNNO. I THINK SHE'S OVERREACTING, PERSONALLY. I MEAN, ALL THE HUMANS EVER DID WAS BANISH US TO A BLEAK UNDERGROUND CAVERN WHERE WE HAVE NO HOPE OF DOING ANYTHING MEANINGFUL WITH OUR LIVES. WHERE EVERY DAY IS A STRUGGLE TO FORGET THAT WE WILL NEVER KNOW THE SIMPLE AND WELCOME PLEASURES OF LOOKING UP AT THE SKY AND GAZING AT THE STARS, OR DRIVING INTO THE SUNSET WITH THE WIND RATTLING OUR BONES, OR LYING OUT IN THE BEACH WITH THE SUN-KISSED SAND BETWEEN OUR TOES AND THE CLEANSING OCEAN WATERS WASHING OVER US. WHERE EVERY ECHOING STEP IS A CRUSHING REMINDER THAT NO MATTER WHERE WE GO, WE HAVE BEEN DEGRADED TO NOTHING BUT INSECTS IN A CAGE, NOT EVEN BEING GIVEN THE DIGNITY OF BEING GAWKED AT BY UNRULY PASSERSBY, BUT LEFT TO FESTER AND ROT IN A DARK CORNER WHERE WE CAN NEVER EVEN RECEIVE THE COMMON DECENCY OF BEING SPAT ON.

Then, Sans was next to Eve, casually chilling next to her.

i'm sure you guys had your reasons. probably ones you thought were pretty reasonable. but, you killed nonetheless. kind of selfish, if you ask me.

Then he was gone, standing next to Pyro.

at the back of your minds, there was probably a voice guiding you, a voice that just wanted to see how far you could go. that part of you didn't really care about right or wrong, but just about...

And then he was next to Kizaru, a grin plastered on his face.

... it won't, you know. you'll always remember you were caught. you won't be remembered for 'winning' anything at all.


Sans turned to Misaka now, looking a tad less serious now. He offered the young girl a shrug.

you've done good so far, kid. sorry for messing with your votes. this one's all on you.

Misaka stared at the skeleton with her mouth open, surprised to see so many words pop out of Sans' mouth at once. Clearing her throat a little awkwardly, Misaka could only shrug. "... Cinder, I guess."

Ilona frowned upon hearing the things Papyrus had to say. "Humans sound awful where you come from. Why would they want to do such things to your kind? You and your brother are such nice people!" she exclaimed, honestly baffled. "I'll never treat you that way. I believe in treating all creatures with kindness. All I want is for everyone to be my friend."

Ilona stepped toward Papyrus, reaching up to take an orange flower from her headband. She gently placed it in one of his hands. When she looked up, she was surprised to see Sans had gone.

Eve ended up surprised as well when Sans appeared next to her. "I didn't kill to be selfish," the bioweapon replied, defending herself. "I killed to save a friend of mine, yet my killing may have been in vain. I have no proof now that he'll be helped. Killing was wrong, but I certainly didn't do it to win against anyone. I killed for my own reasons."

"To be honest, I was just saying someone who's already dead would be a good friend, it's not like you can be any more dead or anything" he shrugs, before turning to Donny and Lon'Qu

"So, you guys actually ran checks on me?" he chuckles and quirks a brow "Why? I'm too lazy to kill people for fun"
"Unless putting a pillow on their faces and sleeping on said pillow is an option, I'd never get around to murdering anyone..."
"The only reason I bothered doing anything this game was so other people and myself wouldn't end up dying...If I was on Team Villain, I'd have been napping as much as possible"

Was there no end to this man's laziness?

"Then I'll just leave you two lovebirds alone. I'm not so much of an eavesdropper anyways," Battler gave a rather teasing grin towards Erika, which in return, she sent an annoyed stare towards his way. Apparently she got the underlying meaning of his words, but of course, the two of them had their moments bashing their heads against each other in their rivalry.

A warm smile crept across his face as Ilona placed a solitary flower in his hands.

THANK YOU, ILONA. I'LL PUT THIS WHERE I KNOW I'LL NEVER LOSE IT!!

He stuck the flower in his nose hole.

The tender moment was interrupted by Sans's sudden departure. Papyrus chuckled to himself.

"Awww... Ilona-chan, that's adorable," Minato cooed with a smile as Ilona gave the skeleton a flower, "And you're right. All life is precious, and to hurt it without good cause... It's an awful thing."

"Well, he hurried off rather abruptly..." Robin muttered so that only Erika could hear him. As the two were now alone, he waited a few moments before leaning down to give her a kiss on her cheek with a grin, "Love you~"

"Love you too, Robin-kun~" Erika didn't bother to comment on Battler's leave, since her mental priorities weren't set on him anyways. With that lovingly tender look on her face, she wrapped her arms around him in a gentle hug. Guess that was what they were going to do until they were going to move on from this voting session.​
 
tumblr_inline_n198f9QhFF1s43kjo.jpg


Mugino looked among the group, spotting Minato and Robin among the crowd. The woman recognized them as the two young men who had gotten in her way while she was out to get Hamazura and Takitsubo, but didn't say or do anything. After all, she had no more reason to quarrel with them. Then again, did she even have one to begin with...?

Looked like the Railgun was also here, and the Number Seven, but Mugino continued to keep a low profile. It was a little awkward, and she didn't know if Misaka was deliberately ignoring her or what, and if that only made it more or less awkward. Then again, not counting herself, something serious had to be going on if there were two Level 5s walking around together.

How irritating.

As Kinuhata would speak, Mugino would grunt softly in pain, stumbling down into a nearby bench where she held her ribs.

tumblr_inline_n198h9VToz1s43kjo.jpg


"A murder, and the culprit is someone in your group, huh? Sounds like a super pain alright," the woman said with a small sigh, "Right now, I won't ask about why exactly you're with all these people, how you met them... I imagine that's a long story that you don't have time for, but... Wherever you're going next, just come back alive. I wanna hear all about it when you get back. When, not if. And..."

A pause.

tumblr_inline_n198h3HV221s43kjo.jpg


"P-Please... protect Hamazura if you find him. And Takitsubo."

A sudden change of heart. But the mentally unstable were prone to being more fickle like that. Was that a shade of red on her cheeks too?

"In any case... I... guess I'm good. As good as I can be in this kind of position anyway," Mugino grumbled, continuing to hold her wounds closely, "Even if I'm the Meltdowner, you could have held back a little, couldn't you?"

@Kaykay @The Tactician @Atomyk @Gibbons
Kinuhata didn't have to be told to do that. But hearing the request straight from Mugino's mouth, Kinuhata flashed her a small smile.

"Don't worry, I super was going to do all of that anyway. Really. I super promise. Just cause ITEM isn't super there anymore doesn't mean we can't super stick together, right?"

In the meantime, she placed a vote on Cinder, though she was already "winning" the vote pretty hard as it was.

mFBKd7O.png


"No super way," Kinuhata shook her head. "Even if you super held back for me, there's no way I could've super won if I held back too. But, um, I'm super sorry about that."

With all that Kinuhata had said, Mugino did something that was perhaps one of the more uncharacteristic things for her to do.

She smiled.

Not an evil smirk, nor one that would invoke a crazed laughter. But rather, a content, relieved smile.

tumblr_inline_n198jnaYPB1s43kjo.jpg


"Yeah... you're right," Mugino would nod, before laying her head back and closing her eyes for a brief moment, "Who knows? Maybe we could start ITEM back up again... When whatever you have going on is all over. Of course, forgiveness isn't gonna come so easy, I bet... Still, there's nothing wrong with trying, right?"

She let out a small laugh in response to Kinuhata's later statement. It stung a bit, but she didn't know what hurt more. That, or the pain that emerged when she would laugh. But that was okay. It was the least that she deserved. Speaking of which...

tumblr_inline_n198iny1sp1s43kjo.jpg


"Yeah... I'm super sorry too. For a lot of things," Shizuri sighed, looking up at the sky with a pause, before speaking again and shifting her gaze back down again, "Y'know... I don't even know if they built a grave for Frenda yet or what. Either way, it... probably doesn't even have her ashes underneath or anything."

She didn't even want to think about what she had done, but she couldn't look away. Shizuri Mugino had to face this.

"So... Hey, when you come back... with Hamazura and Takitsubo, of course... Let's visit that grave, assuming there even is one for her somewhere in the city. Okay? And then, if you want... we can rebuild. A new ITEM. For a new day. How does that sound?"

Business, business, business.

It always had to be about taking the longer way when you wanted to deal with every single loose end. But that was okay. After all, once the Murder Game was over, it would be troublesome to have the villains who were involved in all this still running around scotfree, right? That was why she had to pay him a little visit.

Zouken Matou, the one who had imprisoned her, Robin Tact, and Minato Arisato, the first murder victims of the event, in that filthy dungeon of crest worms. The one who claimed to have cut a deal with Fiamma of the Right. Knowing how elusive a man like that could be if he had survived this long, he had probably managed to evade the magician's rampage through Fuyuki City and made his hasty retreat.

But even through the valley of darkness, Illyasviel von Einzbern would not show fear. She had a job to do. A role to fulfill.

Skrit skrit.

A strange sound that was not something Illya recognized. It was not her footsteps, not was it the sound of birds chirping, or the sound of the wind blowing in the air.

It was someone else.

It was exactly the person that she had been looking for all this time.

From behind the shadows, the old man made his appearance.

lHHXOCX.png


The man, with his walking stick firmly grasped in his frail, old hand, simply stared at the girl silently. A long, uncomfortable pause broke between the two of them, seemingly as they struggled to register the existence of one another.

And then, that silence would be broken.

"Illyasviel... So we finally meet."

...

"So it seems, yes," Illya nodded, "I didn't think this day would come."

"That dress... I recognize it. The Einzbern Mystic Code... The Dress of Heaven. I hadn't seen it since your ancestor, Justeaze, had donned it," Zouken mumbled nostalgically, putting his hands together, "Quite a beautiful dress. Fitting, as it matched her radiance as well."

"Enough with the reminiscence. Why are you here? Did you come to die?"

A pause, as though Zouken attempted to find the words he was looking for. And then, a response.

"Yes. My time is coming... I had not prepared for this occasion. With the crest worms, I had thought I attained immortality, but... alas, it seems that that is not so."

"Of course not. Humans, no matter how hard they can try, can never attain true immortality. At least, not in this world. For while you may find a way for your body to last forever, your soul will still rot. And the rotting of the soul is far worse than the rotting of the body."

"So it appears..." Zouken replied with a breath, holding his chest now, "I would ask you to relieve me of my suffering. But that would just be too generous to a villain like myself, wouldn't it?"

Illya frowned, but replied promptly. "In a situation like this, we don't have time to worry about what you deserve. I'll seal you away for good, and you won't be able to hurt anyone anymore."

Dry laughter. In response to the young girl's words, Zouken let out a small, humorless laugh. "I see... But wouldn't it be unwise to use the Third Magic so carelessly? After all, with a body like yours... You might just die."

...

He was right. One thing that Illya had been hiding from the others all this time... Enough use of the Dress of Heaven, and her life would end. Her soul would not be able to withstand the amount of energy output, and with that, she would cease to exist, in short. After all, materializing the soul into a physical shape and transporting it into another object was hard work. But even so, this was the only path. This was the only way to seal away the Holy Grail and put an end to the Murder Game.

"That is none of your concern," Illya replied, her dress glowing with mana, "Just one use on one individual won't be much. On a target as grand as the Greater Grail, however, is different. But you needn't worry about that..." She spoke calmly. She wasn't afraid to die. She wasn't afraid to sacrifice herself. She was fulfilling her role in the Murder Game, and perhaps that was all she needed.

"Hmph, I see... How cruel. Villainous, I'd even say. To hide such a crucial fact from your allies."

"It is of little consequence. After all, I'll be dead. Besides... I hardly spent enough time with them to be their friend. We simply have similar interests. Perhaps that is the simplest way to explain our relationship."

"And you're willing to die for those who you would call nothing more than acquaintances? People with just similar goals? Rather doubtful, I find it all to be... But then again, that is hardly my business, isn't it? And it won't be my concern."

Tch. What a pain.

"So if that is all... Will you be the one to set me free, Illyasviel von Einzbern? The catalyst of the end?"

Illya wanted to say something. Anything. But what? What could she say? What did she really want to say for real? She couldn't say for sure, really. Did she wish for him to go to hell? Did she imagine him reuniting with her distant ancestor that he had once loved?

Perhaps she would never know. By the time she would think of something, the Dress of Heaven glowed more and more bright, as Zouken Matou's soul began to be erased.​
 
Mari sighed at the threats and harsh words directed at herself and John. "Oh, let me know when you actually do something of some real meaning, then, perhaps I might pay better attention to your scathing words, little girls and boys. I am quite sure if you could really take on my friend here you would have done so by now."​

She then looked back at John Allerdyce. Pyro, the young man of fire. A playful thought, a plan, both born from her heart, entered into her mind. An action to burn his heart hot, if he didn't need to burn up these fools.

tumblr_nsrvviYp901uw7ug3o3_250.png

"Brace yourself, John," she said to him, "I am about to steal something quite precious from you." She then kept her hand locked with his and moved closer against him, and then... she kissed him tenderly on his lips, and kept herself there... until he would push her away in shock at the action from her? Or perhaps he would pull her in closer? Her heart raced with anticipation as her thoughts wondered what his reaction would be when it wasn't in ecstacy at the feelings she was experiencing, as her lips met with his and stayed there. A stolen moment, a shocking moment even to her that she would be so bold as to do that.

Not quite like the Ourosboros but it was nice and special in its own way, Mari thought.​

@Wedge Antilles

Of course, being a red blooded (mutant) male he did not object to his partner locking lips with him. In fact he enjoyed it all too much, putting his other arm around her back and waist to pull her closer.

But he kept his lighter in hand in case one of those jerks tried to cheap shot him in the middle of a wet kiss with Mari.

Gilgamesh gave a cocky smirk when Frank voted for him. "You call me a fool for testing a bluff, yet you vote for someone confirmed innocent? It seems you are a Mongrel".
Though once Lonqu was publicly confirmed as innocent, that was basically the end of that. Any chance of Lonqu bluffing erased.
"Hmph! That proves that then!" Gilgamesh retorted removing his vote from Lonqu.

"Now, you Mongrels and your petty rumours are irritating me. Call me when something important arises" before he wandered off.

"So... Hey, when you come back... with Hamazura and Takitsubo, of course... Let's visit that grave, assuming there even is one for her somewhere in the city. Okay? And then, if you want... we can rebuild. A new ITEM. For a new day. How does that sound?"

"That super softie Hamazura and super air-headed Takitsubo can always super forgive you. The only one you need to super worry about is me, and I've already said my super decision."

She paused.

"Well, me and..."

Sure, Frenda had betrayed them, but she was still their friend. But what Mugino had done couldn't be undone. Once a life was taken, that was it. Kinuhata rubbed the back of her neck, looking towards the ground as Mugino stared towards the sky. Being able to kill people so easily wasn't always "neat" or "cool," huh?

"She had a super lot of friends, unlike some of us. I'm sure she has one, super somewhere."

Kinuhata nodded to Mugino's suggestions.

Chapter Six
"All the Evil in this World"

Continued from here.

The Story So Far
With the recent murder of Cole, revealed to be an Agent, and the revelation of Lon'qu and Donny as other Agents, the investigation would lead the Survivors to pin their votes on Cinder Fall, whom some of which would even suspect to be the very same Traitor that killed Kirby.

Meanwhile, in the other regions of the world, Rin Tohsaka would be assaulted and captured by the Unknown Man who had given Fiamma of the Right the Right Hand of the Crimson Moon. Afterwards, the Unknown Man would muse on how all the happenings seemed to be rising in Russia, where he had determined he would make his final stand.

While this was happening, as Illyasviel von Einzbern traversed through the Einzbern Forest to clear up some loose ends, she would encounter Zouken Matou, the man who had imprisoned her, Robin Tact, and Minato Arisato in the beginning. The two of them would exchange a few words together, musing on how Illya will die if she overuses the Dress of Heaven, and how much she resembled her ancestor, Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern, before Illya would use her dress to defeat Zouken and put his soul to rest for good.



Props to @TheSpringwoodSlasher for this cool collab thing!

With your business seemingly done here, it was time to go. You couldn't waste any more time here in Academy City. It was time to head to Russia and get to the bottom of the Murder Game once and for all. With the plane still waiting, everything was all ready to go.

Having waited for you all to finish your business, Tsuchimikado was pleased, naturally, that everything seemed to be going according to plan, and for good reason. Finally, you were all getting somewhere, right? Enough of the running away, and more of the running toward. Or something to that degree, right?

Either way, even after some of you had went ahead and talked to Aleister Crowley himself, perhaps it shouldn't concern you that whatever you were doing was a part of someone else's greater scheme. As long as it didn't concern you, right? Besides, it's as they say; the enemy of your enemy was your friend.

Then again, some of you were probably not all that keen on calling Tsuchimikado a "friend," but it was of little consequence.

"Alright, I think that should be enough. Wouldn't you guys agree?" He inquired happily, adjusting his sunglasses that he still wore, even during the nighttime for some reason, "Well, I guess that doesn't matter. We got what we came for, right? In any case, let's bounce! This is a place I'd rather not stay in for much longer. Too much stuff going on here... and, well, everywhere else for that matter-nya," he sighed, motioning for you all to follow as he would begin to walk into the jet that was awaiting you all.

However, one voice from behind would stop a number of you in your tracks.

"And just where exactly do you think you're going, hmm?"

f97c043459904cac59b567f7fa993916.png


There, Fiamma of the Right was trailing right behind you. With his ever so deceivingly graceful smile, he began to slowly walk towards you all.

Where did he come from? How did you know what you were up to?

"I believe the fun was just getting started... So don't leave so soon."

Having done what he could to help, Stubbs wasn't really feeling much better about this whole thing. More people had died and he'd gone through the brunt of it all. He'd been sliced apart by Saber, had a hole blasted straight through his torso by Caster, and then the dreaded had to go and show up.

The zombie's cigarette fell from his mouth and bounced from side to side as it fell to the ground. Even with the others, Stubbs doubted their chances of even being able to come close of matching this guy. He looked like some kinda monster! Some kinda freak! Their escape was only a staircase away.

All they had to do was get onboard and figure out where to go from there right? Stubbs had some time to think over the course of this twisted and sadistic game. The reactions he'd gotten from this crowd ranged from mixed to seemingly genuine like Gilgamesh. Yet what good had Stubbs done? He'd been looking out for himself, numero uno. Yet these people all worked together to achieve a common goal and that just struck Stubbs as unthinkable. Maybe it was the fact that instead of working together, the humans back in Punchbowl were always pulling in different directions when trying to deal with Stubbs and his ever-expanding zombie army.

As a stray breeze of wind blew through the air, Stubb's hat was knocked from his head as he spread his feet apart and a sickly green aura began to emit from the zombie. It might have gotten him into too many minced pieces to regenerate from but he wasn't gonna give this guy the satisfaction of letting them take him. The aura spread onto the ground and soon cracks would have appeared similar to what Gilgamesh, Saber, and Lon'qu saw back at the Courtyard. When there was no more room in Hell, the Dead would walk the Earth once more.

Only Stubbs's noble phantasm would have gotten half-way as Saber looked over her shoulder at the others.

"You've gotten what you came here for. The way I see it, none of you have any more reason to linger in this city. This monster is the reason you've been put through these trials. You'll face him again, I'm sure. But you'll do it on your own terms and not his. So, turn and run while you can." What came next struck a chord with Saber.

"The same goes for you Shirou."

"..But Saber! You can't fight this guy alone! You need some support!" The teen protested only for Saber to glare. "What if he proves too much for even this support to handle? You'll end up dead when all of you have a chance to flee now while you can! I imagine I won't be able to hold him back for long. Perhaps I've afforded us an half-hour at the most if we're generous. In any case that should be more than enough for you and the others to pile onto that ship and leave!"

"..Saber."

"I won't hear anymore of it, Shirou! Use a command seal on me if you wish but I'm standing my ground!" The knight roared back to which Shirou reluctantly nodded. He hated leaving someone as close to him as Saber behind but if she was going to take on someone as powerful as this guy on by herself, she couldn't be burderened with protecting anyone who stayed behind with her.

"Lon' Qu. I know you believe you rushed in proclaiming your feelings for me. But I would just like to say this. You're probably one of the bravest warriors I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. I hope to see you again someday. Now get going!"

Provided there was no arguments and the others piled on as they went, Stubbs noticed how reluctant Shirou was in getting on the ship and grasping the boy's arm began to drag him on. It wasn't his place to say whether or not Saber's decision was a good one. But it might have been the only one that didn't leave more of them dead than there already was.

Shooting one last smile towards Lon'qu, Saber turned to face Fiamma with Excalibur raised in front of her.

"I swear on my honor as a knight that you'll not past me, fiend. I suggest you make your move and make it quick."

As Saber would prepare for battle, Fiamma of the Right would do the same. For the first time since Archer, he would allow a Servant to take a look at the weapon that he was using. The tool that he had used to fell the other Servants with relative ease. The Holy Right of God. The Third Arm. A giant claw resembling a bird's talon sticking out of the man's shoulder stood still, as small bits and pieces of it gradually disintegrated into the air, as though it appeared to have a time limit here.

"A knight, eh? I hope you know that knights bow to their kings," the magician said, running a hand through his hair as he glared at Saber, "But I have no time to waste with you, unfortunately," He spoke apathetically in an almost deceivingly way, before the giant Holy Right would aim itself at the ship that was still attempting to take off.

Seeming to decide to direct the majority of his attention towards the ship that was now beginning to become airborne and fly off, Saber herself apparently being an afterthought to the arrogant magician, as he had downed each of the other Servants with relative ease anyway, Fiamma of the Right decided not to waste any time with what he believed to be a mere insect.

"Fall," he commanded.

With that, what appeared to be a circle of light would begin to materialize within the Holy Right that hovered above his shoulder.

Dragon's Breath.

The orb of light grew more and more, until it was roughly three times the size of an ordinary baseball.

Level 1.

And with that, he would begin to shoot it at the jet with all of you aboard. It would be able to blast away Erik, Daredevil, and Elektra, instantly killing them all, but before it would be able to damage the plane very much, a worm would divert his attention unexpectedly in his folly.

"...Bastard." In a situation such as this, there was no time to use more poignant insults. Now was the time for action and watching as the blasts began to soar towards the jet, Saber sprinted in their direction before jumping up as high as she could go.

She wouldn't be able to stop all of the blasts but the rest impacted with the knight in a massive explosion that lit up the night sky. Lon'qu would have gotten a perfect view of Saber being engulfed within the cloud of smoke.

As it began to dissipate, a figure could have been seen crashing into the ground creating a massive crater. The dust cloud it kicked up concealed the servant as Saber stabbed Excalibur in the ground and struggled to her feet. Brushing aside the remaining dust, her armor was in tatters and one of her arms had hung limply at her side with a pool of blood around her.

"As long as I'm breathing....You will not harm them.."

She then sprinted forward and raised Excalibur, intent on trying to decapitate Fiamma like the scum that he was.

Lon'qu...I will miss you.

"Tch. You're a nuisance. But it'll all be worth it if I have you work to make it up to me," the man flatly said in response to Saber's defiant nature, blocking the Servant's sword with his own sword that seemed to materialize out of nowhere. The Sword of Freyr. Experienced swordsman he was not, but a magician with the power like Fiamma of the Right didn't need such training. He had managed to take down that bothersome Executor, along with Archer and Lancer all at once. This should be no problem...

Pushing the Heroic Spirit away with his magically augmented strength, he took a step back, before extending his arm in Saber's general direction, as though preparing a spell again.

Saber's eyes widened in horror as she was pushed back as easily as brushing off a fly. She'd been able to give Lancer a fight to remember but yet this foe came and treated her as if she were nothing more than an inconvenience in the grand scheme of things.

If she hadn't expanded most of her mana enduring the blasts meant for the jet then she might have been able to use her noble phantasm. But would have, could have, should have. In battle there was no room for what-ifs. There was the situtation on the ground and you had to deal with the hand you were dealt.

"I won't run and I won't live with regrets. If I run away from you now, I can no longer call myself a warrior. Even if the situation looks bleak, I will not lower my sword! Have at you!" She yelled and charged towards the beam with the last of her energy.

fiamma10.jpg


"By the power of the Right Hand of the Crimson Moon, I command you! Saber, come under my control!" He exclaimed with a forceful, firm tone in his voice. The same tone that he had used when using this sort of influence upon Berserker and Caster. The influence that bent many others before Saber to his will.

With that, what appeared to be a black beam of magical energy would shoot from his hand, flying at high speeds at the Servant!

Predictably the beam engulfed the knight even as she continued to stomp forward, leaving a wide trail of dirt in her wake. Once the beam finally faded, Saber was standing near Fiamma. This was of course a testament to Saber's willpower above all else. But even so she could feel herself losing control of her body. It was apparent that it was no longer hers to do with as she wished but Fiammas.

"..I'm sorry, Lon'qu, Donny, Shirou. I wish I could have done more."

"That's right... You won't be lowering your sword. You'll keep it raised and continue to fight. But this time, for me. I could always use another pawn. Especially after Berserker's body had rotted away rather inconveniently. But that is of little consequence. I had always heard about how the Saber-class was the strongest... So surely, you won't disappoint me, right?" Fiamma of the Right inquired with a smirk, his right hand surging with the sinister red energy.

"Now... Rise. Rise for your new lord."

By the time the transformation was over, Saber was like a completely different entity. Her skin was paler, her hair was whiter, her armor was darker, and her entire existence was blackened in no time.

52nZCmI.png


"... As you wish, Master."

By the time it was all over though, your ride would just barely manage to escape Fiamma's range. But even so, in the distance, you would all be able to witness the fall of Saber.

Every Servant had fallen. Now, the Dress of Heaven was complete. Everything was now falling into place.



The plane ride to Russia was surprisingly smooth and quiet, all things considered. Whatever this "energy anomaly" that was located in Russia was supposed to be, one could assume that it was the source of all this trouble. Perhaps if you would disrupt the source, the Murder Game would come to an end. Seemed a little naive and convenient, but hey, you could hope, right?

As you would eventually reach the place, perhaps predictably enough, the place would resemble that of a snowy wasteland, though you could see a few things here and there in the distance.

"Looks like there's a settlement nearby, but there seems to be some strange activity there. Activity I'd rather avoid," Tsuchimikado spoke calmly, holding his chin in thought before gesturing towards the nameless pilot, "Land over there. We won't attract any attention if we're far away enough, right?"

392201.jpg


As you would all eventually land some distance away from the Settlement, the radar would be able to pick up what appeared to be energy signatures in a number of other places as well. Whatever the anomaly was, it looked like there wasn't just one. If you wanted to find the "one" that you were supposed to be here for, then it looked like you'd have to all spread out.

"Tch... this all smells kinda fishy, but hey, people don't get far by playing it safe. Or smart. That's why you're all here to do the stupid stuff, right?" Tsuchimikado said with a grin, before beginning to push you all out of the plane and into the cold, snowy field, "Call back if you find anything of any use. Do note that you may have to visit multiple places to discover everything! Something useless you might find in the first place might be the key to unlocking whatever secrets the second place holds, y'know?"

Okay?

"Good luck!" He exclaimed, before shutting the door and leaving you all out in the cold. Well, time to go exploring through the glorious land of Mother Russia.
