Fate/Blackened Sugar

[] Go Up and Save Miyu

There was no time to spare. Chiyome followed the Serpents leading upwards and hurried up. Running as fast as she could without missing a beat. Darting through halls and corners, she eventually sensed something up ahead.

Even as she tripped several traps upon passing, she evaded them by sliding low and jumping to avoid spikes shooting out the walls. She hit the ground as her snakes slithered through the corridors and she kept going even as the debilitating curse of the Pyramid weighed down on her.

Finding Miyu was her job and that was exactly what she was going to do.

Her footsteps were nonexistent as she darted down the halls. She eventually came upon a chamber leading to the next portion of the Pyramid. Running through it, she glanced to the side and saw a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes smile at her as she passed.

She hit the brakes but she was already past the entrance. The path backwards was quickly sealed, leaving her unable to go through it.

"Ayumi?!" Chiyome cried out as she pressed her fists against the wall.

There was that problem to consider as well. Chiyome grimaced before stepping back from the passage and turning back. She was close, she could sense Miyu's presence nearby. She ran further ahead and could sense the battle that was going on outside, the serpent she hid in her Master's clothes was keeping him safe as he waited out in the woods.

She can't falter.

Assassin came upon one last hall before she saw an entrance to another chamber. Walking past the entrance she was soon met with the sight of a throne room.

Pillars held up the opulent ceilings filled with murals and glyphs while the floor seemed to be made from marble, making it reflect light which came from the moon outside the building.

A red carpet was laid out leading to the throne beyond. It was a high throne where steps preceded it numbering several dozen. It looked down upon the entire room, a seat befitting that of a King.

Torches lit up upon the pillars blazing with life and giving the entire room an eerie atmosphere. Assassin moved to the side and kept hidden as she looked up who was sitting upon the throne.

Instead of a Blackened King wielding the authority of the black sun, a girl sat upon the Throne. She was dressed in a light blue jacket and leggings as her boots hung off the edge of her seat. Miyu had a distressed look on her face as she sat all alone on the throne with her eyes closed.

Assassin kept low and looked around, trying to figure out if she had been spotted yet. However when she decided that she wasn't, she figured that she could move. Keeping to the shadows, her presence as it's lowest, moving towards the throne while staying out of sight.

Miyu was just sitting there with her eyes closed, holding on tight to the arms of the throne. Assassin grimaced before she kicked off the ground and swung a hook up on a pillar. She then tugged herself through the air to land a few steps before the throne itself.

Miyu noticed the disturbance before Assassin ran up to her and canceled her presence concealed.

"Assassin?" Miyu gasped with wide eyes.

"I told you I'd be here," Chiyome replied as she stood before the girl, "I'm getting you out of here fast. Grab on to m-"

"Assassin!" Miyu cried out before Chiyome dodged out of the way of the descending staff coming for her head.

She then looked up to find the Blackened towering over her as he raised his weapon and fired a beam of light. Forced to jump to the side and evade, Assassin landed on the stairs as four more beam shot downwards and kept her back.

Miyu tried getting off the throne but the Blackened raised his hand to stop her. With one glare, he jerked his head and forced her back on her seat. Assassin grimaced as she drew her kunai in response before more lights crashed down until she was back on the ground level.

The Blackened Servant crossed his arms and floated down to her level. He then lowered his staff and stood in a defensive stance with Miyu back at the throne. He was probably saying that if Assassin wanted Miyu, she would have to get through him.

"Fine. Let's do this!" Assassin snarled as she darted towards him with her blade drawn.

The Blackened smirked as she thrust her sword into his chest. Her blade sank into his chest and her eyes widened to see him unfazed by it. She turned the blade and tore it out of his chest only for her to see his beating black heart regenerate.

The ground lit up and Lances of light fell from above, forcing her to flip back and evade.

[] Assassin will use Ibuki Daimyojin Engi and unleash the curse of Orochi upon the Blackened.
[] Assassin will use Ame no Habakiri and cut apart the Blackened before her.
[] Assassin will utilize her shinobi tools and try to wear down her opponent for as long as she can.
[] Assassin will focus on trying to get past the Blackened and escaping alongside Miyu.

[] Assassin will focus on trying to get past the Blackened and escaping alongside Miyu.

Assassin readied her blades as she let out a deep breath. The Blackened King responded by raising his staff and regard the Servant with disdain. She just needed to get past him and take Miyu. Where she lacked in power she made up for her speed, if she could just get Miyu away from the Blackened then she would have a chance at winning.

Assassin moved, kicking off the ground and darting forward to which she was met with the King firing several beams of light. Chiyome moved and evaded it through sheer skill and instinct, sliding beneath beams and jumping over them, she threw several kunai and shuriken at her foe to which the King simply held up his hand and caught them with the black mud.

One of the kunai exploded and wrapped the King in black smoke. Assassin used this chance to rush past him but just as she was about to climb up the stairs, a fist flew out of it. Chiyome was forced to stop and stomp on the ground as the Blackened missed his swing, only for a cannon barrel to appear beside Assassin. Her eyes widened before she took the full brunt of the blow right on her side, shooting her straight at a pillar.

Her body struck a chunk off the pillar and she fell on the ground.

"Assassin!" Miyu cried out as the Servant was left coughing blood on the ground.

She then had her eyes widen when the ground was filled with glowing circles, prompting her to move out of the way and evade as pillars of light fell down. Her Curse wrapped around her own soul and sank its fangs into her heart, causing her own body to morph as she pushed her body to the limits.

The Blackened simply raised his hand and fired several shots from the artillery which appeared behind him. He was calm, collected and able to discern her every move. Chiyome dodged and weaved as she sought to get close to her foe but was kept at bay. She can't even get past him with her dodging all of these volleys at once.

"Assassin stop! You need to leave!" Miyu pleaded as she leaned from her throne.

"Never!" Assassin snarled as she clapped her hands and spread them out, summoning several tools her she threw each one of them into the air.

The throne room was soon filled with smoke which could obscure one's vision before pellets were tossed up the air. They cracked and split, exploding into violent white light which robbed the sight of others. However the Blackened was ready and hammered through the smoke with his piercing light as a shadow passed him by.

Assassin ascended up the steps before the King reformed at the top of the stairs where Miyu was. Artillery cannons revealed themselves and fired straight down. Assassin grit her teeth, dodging and weaving through every shot as she had pieces of her body shredded upon her ascent.

A smoke bomb exploded before the Blackened before a blade thrust out of it and cut his head. Assassin managed to get past him and reach out towards Miyu with her han-

BLAM

A pillar of light hammered down where Assassin was before she could even reach the Grail. Miyu's eyes widened and slowly began to fill with tears, turning her gaze to see the Blackened's head be attached by black mud to the stump of his neck. His head was pulled back down and regenerated, allowing him to face Assassin as she was on all fours, burnt on every limb with pieces of her flesh torn off.

"M-Miyu..." Assassin gasped before a pillar of light came crashing down.

BLAM

A beam fell.

BLAM

BLAM

BLAM

BLAM

BLAM

Assassin's body was burnt all over by the might of the Sun, the Blackened King staring down upon her in contempt as he finally lowered his staff. Miyu's tears slowly slid down her cheek as she watched her friend endure the punishment bestowed by the God King.

"Miyu... Hans... Will... Save you..." Chiyome rasped even as her entire body had been turned black by the sun's rays.

Miyu watched as the Blackened walked over to the body of the fallen Servant and stomped on her back. Chiyome let out a weakened gasp as she grit her teeth, looking up at Miyu before the King stomped through her body, forcing it to vanish into golden light.

"ASSASSIN!!!" Miyu cried out as she fell off the throne to grasp at the golden motes of light left by her rescuer. However her screams fell deaf to the ears of the Blackened King.

{BB DOJO} {BB DOJO} {BB DOJO}


At first... There was nothing. Then came everything!

But you already knew that, didn't you?

Opening your eyes, a pit of dread settled in your stomach upon realizing you found yourself in an oriental training ground. A Dojo you supposed but one re-decorated to be some sort of studio for some reason.

BB showed up in her usual flair and smug countenance as she winked and greeted you, "Welcome, Senpai to the second ever BB Dojo! I'm our host and lovely guide, BB! What does 'BB' stand for you ask? Well you just have to raise my bond points to know!"

"Back again already? Either you fell for this Mooncancer over there or did you mess up somehow? I'm hoping the latter or else even I won't help you," Chloe said as she crossed her arms.

"In any case! Seems like you have a bit of pickle in your hands! Facing Ozymandias one on one is a daunting task but not impossible! Especially not with trusted allies and powerhouses you left outside of the Pyramid," BB said with a wink as she began her guide, "The Pyramid is currently emitting several passive effects which put intruders at a disadvantage, it would be helpful to keep them in mind."

"One of them is all Noble Phantasms are turned off and Divinity of other Deities. In the Pyramid, only the God King Ramses exists to rule. That's one of the big reasons why Ozymandias must be lured out of the building. But that doesn't really help you in this situation, huh? Well, it sort of does," Chloe said as she tapped her cheek.

BB then walked over to you and grabbed your cheeks, "This information slices those two options you have for this encounter. But what about the others? Well, one of them got Assassin killed because of your carelessness, Senpai."

"No, no, they had the right idea. They were just had the wrong mindset," Chloe said as she waved her hand.

"Against a calm, collected and calculating Blackened like Ozymandias, your best chance at escaping with Miyu if he was erratic, distracted and impatient. Now this option would only be viable if you took the time to grab the Necklace you've been seeing awhile back. It's a pretty little thing. It belonged to Ozzy's wife and he loved her so much that he could fight through his Blackened state for a few moments. If Assassin had it then this whole situation would be a whole lot easier. Buuuuut since you didn't get it, you can't cheese Ozzy in this manner," BB giggled while giving you a cruel smile.

Chloe then added," Which leaves you with the tools option. While it's true that you can't kill the Blackened with those, it would serve as a way for Chiyome to study and find her own path in slowing down that bastard. In that situation, you'll have to trust Assassin to survive and hold on while hoping for something else to happen. Who knows, maybe Chiyome might actually remember she's a Priestess and get to exorci-"

"Chloe that's for the next time they fuck up again! Do you want them to leave us here forever?! A-Anyway, Senpai, if you choose the tools option, it'll turn into a fight of attrition. If you keep going down this path, things will take a very long time and a very hard time before you can win. It's winnable but it will definitely not be easy," BB giggled as she ran her hand on your face, "Though, you can always coward out. BB will use her special time powers of love to put you back where you want to be. Oh? Theres no guarantee Chiyome will survive using her tools than she did here? Oh silly senpai, you're so silly. Would BB ever lie to you?"

"That's pretty creepy, BB, control yourself," Chloe said with a dry smile.

You really didn't feel like coming back here again...But still...

"Good luck, Senpai. The end game is so close!" BB laughed before your vision turned black.
