Fate/Blackened Sugar

[] Knock her out of the Throne Room. Get her as far away from Miyu as possible. You're not taking your chances, you'll kill her now.



Your name was Hans Derrinsmith and you were running out of time.

You let out a breath as you closed your eyes. Your vision was growing faint and the strain of both your wound and Eye was taxing what's left of your willpower. Faced with Minerva now spelled certain death. One misstep and you were good as dead, she'd be able to split your head open before you could even have time to think.

You were just human while Minerva was close to the perfection the Luctworth desired. A good little Doll they made to kill you.

But so what?

You braced yourself as you took a step forward.

You've come too far to lose heart now. Your entire body was aching but you forged on. You can overcome her if you put your mind to it!

Minerva saw your move and dashed forward to meet you. The two of you closed in on one another before she hammered down her leg upon you. Catching it with your left arm, you grabbed her leg and swung her straight into a pillar.

Spinning in the air, Minerva landed against it and jumped high. She then performed a dive kick as you were forced to evade at the last moment, watching her split the floor from the impact.

Rushing in, you swung at her as she deflected your blow. Weaving to the right from her jab, you delivered a crushing blow to her abdomen. She doubled over before grabbing your head and slamming her knee into it, your vision blurred before she brought her fist down, nearly striking you.

Letting out a breath, you kicked off the ground and smashed your head against hers. You broke her footing with a well placed kick to her leg before forcing her to block your next jab.

"Anzus," you snarled as the ground was set on fire, distracting her as you pulled her close to smash her sternum with your elbow.

Minerva braced herself to defend against your kick as she was sent flying through the door and into the chamber you fought Manaka in. The Killer Doll laughed as she set the ground on fire with the color of lilac, gathering spheres behind her and launching them towards you.

Tensing, you dashed to the side, weaving past her shots before jumping towards her. You smashed your fist against her as she countered to force you down, making you sidestep her punch and striking at her side.

Leaning back, you barely avoided her backhand as she brought up her knee. You used your left arm to strike it with your elbow before smashing her sternum with your palm.

Minerva slid back and exhaled a short breath, "That fighting style... I never knew you had enforcer training. You're full of surprises now that you have complete limbs."

"Shut up," you barked as you held up your fists.

"You have just the right friends to keep up, don't you?!" Minerva laughed as the two of you clashed.

She swung her elbow while you leaned back, swinging at her head to which she knocked your hand aside. The two of you raised your legs and struck one another at a low angle, only to raise your legs higher and catch each other even then.

Sliding away from one another, you activated the runes marking your flesh. Each one of them shined in succession, increasing your physical output as you shot forward.

Minerva palmed the ground and raised the concrete to protect her. You smashed through her pillar, knocking dust and debris into the air before she grabbed your clothes and threw you across the chamber.

You hit the floor and tumbled, palming the ground to evade Minerva's follow up.

"Gotcha!" You roared as you inscribed a rune past her, reversing gravity itself as she fell down her knees.

You were then pulled down as well as you drew your left arm. Minerva smiled as she stood up to meet you, clashing with your cursed arm hard enough to blow it clean off.

The black mass shattered for a split second before reforming as you canceled the rune and the two of you jumped away.

"That all you got, Brother?" Minerva mused.

You grimaced as you studied her form. She wasn't fazed at all... Then that means you just needed to do this smarter.

"Aegis!" You roared and four shields appeared before you.

"Oh! I can do that too!" Minerva sneered as she held her hand up, "Aegis!"

You used your shields to obscure your body while charging at her. You'll manipulate the shields to smash against her, during your clashes you'll etch the biggest rune you could make in secret without her noticing.

Slamming your shield against hers, the two of you were quick to bounce off one another. You slid back and dashed to the side, etching the rune as you ran while Minerva was quick to intercept you. You allowed her to send you flying back before you jumped and brought down your shields on her.

Two of each of yours shields shattered but Minerva swung her own at the last second and sent you flying. You turned in the air and finished drawing the rune in the ground.

"Brother!" Minerva laughed as she shattered your last shield. She then projected a hollow sword in her hand to swing at you.

You stepped back and opened your Mystic Eye, letting her sword vanish as the runes beneath her feet appeared. Her eyes widened as a surge of electricity rushed through her body.

"Don't fuck with me," you grit your teeth as you activated the rest of the Runes, conjuring firestorms within the chamber which swirled to smash into Minerva.

Minerva screamed as she was bound, burned and electrocuted all at once. You stepped near her and clenched your hand into a fist.

"You won't kill me today!" You roared as you punched her right in her sternum, shattering her ribcage and sending her flying through her runic cage.

Minerva flew back first into a wall.

"I'm not done yet!" You roared as you nicked your right hand and let it bleed, throwing your blood into the air, "Oh Spirit of Malevolence, answer the lure of my Life and destroy my enemies!"

The screams of Evil Spirits echoed through the air and a massive amalgam of the damned was made manifest. Lured by the scent of your blood, they were quick to turn their attention on Minerva and glide towards her.

The gargantuan ghost swung their claws to rip her soul out but Minerva smiled, rising from where she crashed and catching the blow.

"Activating Emergency Mode," Minerva sighed as she pulled the Evil Spirit down towards her, grabbing its chest and splitting it apart.

You were left staring as Minerva was showered upon by the negative karma.

Her side ponytail was burned away from your last attack, leaving her bright orange hair to flow behind her. Her body was filled with magic circuits, humming with power as her eyes turned bright amber.

"Ah... To think I've been pushed to this state. You're really stubborn, Brother," Minerva giggled for a moment before her expression turned blank, "I will no longer make any errors. Your execution... Is my top priority."

"I'd like to see you try, you fucking piece of tin can junk," you snarled as you weaved your runes. You tried to maintain your focus as best you could.

This was bad...

This was pretty bad.

.....

"I want you to live..."

.....

You blinked as you felt... Something slithering underneath your clothes.

"Chiyome," you breathed as you met Minerva's gaze.
