Interlude 6 - Gunner
- Location
- Denmark
Gunner stood approximately one point five meters from his Master.
He was currently dematerialized as his Rin was in the middle of trying to find the Dead Apostle, hiding in the area with her Magecraft.
Gunner was silent as he went through various plans in how to take down the Vampire and the Servant he apparently had.
His planning was interrupted by a very familiar sound.
Rin hadn't heard, but his enhanced senses had managed to pick it up.
His right hand moved, and he caught the bullet before it hit the back side of his Master's skull.
He gave the round a quick look and analyzed it. He knew everything about from what kind it was to its manufacturing and the history of it, to find out who had fired it.
It had been fired by one Kiritusugu Emiya.
Gunner didn't know what to think as the name of his father appeared in his mind.
Gunner threw those thoughts out, as he changed the current mission to kill the man who had saved him.
The Heart of Steel did not allow emotion to interfere with the mission.
He would very much kill his father to protect his Master.
"Gunner what is it… Oh God." Rin spoke as she looked at the bullet he was holding.
"It seems that an enemy Master just tried to assassinate you, Master. Your Servant shall deal with him at once."
However, that statement was quickly void as Gunner projected his guns and blocked a knife going to his throat. The knife cut through his left gun and bound it back together.
He reacted quickly and shoot at the attacking Servant with his other gun, making Assassin retreat to another roof top where he hid using Presence Concealment. Gunner knew that he was a he because he managed to use Structural Analysis on the Servants knife figuring out Assassin Identity.
He dismissed the ruined gun and projected a new one.
He was kinda shocked that Assassin was also Kiritsugu Emiya or rather Counter Guardian Kiritsugu Emiya. It was kinda funny to Gunner. The man who would work best with him was himself.
Those emotions were contained as his Heart of Steel would not allow them to interfere with the mission.
Kiritsugu Emiya needed to die that was the mission.
"It seems Gunner that someone to break the rules and use the ceasefire to their advantage. I deal with the Master you take out Assassin." Rin ordered him, and Gunner obeyed. He wanted to object to idea her going alone to face Kiritsugu, but his Master's word was law.
Rin left towards where the shot had come from, and Gunner tried to find Assassin.
He looked across roofs to try and find where Assassin currently was.
Boom
Gunner looked into the distance as he heard an explosion go off and saw a pillar of Dark and Light shoot up into the air. Another Servant had just used their Noble Phantasm, and it looked to be of the Anti-Army variety.
But thankfully the winds created by the explosion had kicked dust up into the air and revealed where Assassin was hiding.
He locked on and fired.
Assassin materialized and dodged the bullets he had fired and returned with his own.
The shots fired hit Gunner, and they did nothing as his Skill Bulletproof Reinforcement protected him from the magically enhanced bullets.
Gunner needed to end this quickly.
"I am the bone of my sword!" he chanted and rushed Assassin reinforcing himself to the maximum.
Assassin attacked again with the knife of severing and binding.
Gunner sacrificed one his right gun to the knife and unleashed his Noble Phantasm before Assassin could use his.
"So as I pray, Unlimited Lost Works!" He finished the chant and fired the bullet at Assassin.
It hit.
Not even a second later swords upon swords exploded out of Assassin's body killing the Servant of stealth.
"Sorry dad, but it has to be this way."
Gunner turned away, but he froze as he felt his connection to Rin cut out.
He quickly rushed towards he had last felt the connection come from.
What Gunner came upon was Rin with her heart shot out.
Kiritsugu Emiya was nowhere to be seen.
Gunner could feel tears begin to trail down his face as he felt an overwhelming sadness for having failed Rin once again.
And worst of all he had failed his mission to win Rin the Grail. As this worlds, Grail didn't seem to be corrupted she could have had her wish.
He picked up her body in a bride carry and began moving towards Kotomine's Church.
His Master might be dead, but he was far from out of the game.
He would kill his father and win the war to wish Rin back to life.

Interlude 7 - Missy
- Location
- Denmark
Missy stood in front of the full-length mirror that had been placed, in her Wards room since she began one she used to make she had put her costume on correctly.
Now though it was to get a look at how her body had changed since yesterday, to see how different she looked.
Before where she had barely made four and a half feet in height, now she stood at a toweringsix compared to before. Her former blond hair was now as green as the costume she normallywore, and it was now long and tied in a ponytail down to her behind.
Her eyes now a golden color, no longer brown.
She lifted up the t-shirt that was barely able to contain her now developed breasts.
The mirror showed steel hard abs, something Missy had been trying to work towards a long time. She let the shirt drop again concealing her muscles.
Missy knew she didn't look like a grown-up version of her, but rather a female version of Shielder.
And Missy was okay with that.
For this was the side-effect of Salem saving her life, using Shielder's heart to replace her own.
It was not intended to happen, but it did.
Now she was both Missy and Achilles, she was Demi-Servant Shielder.
That was what Myrddin had told her, the man was apparently a talented Magus and not a Cape.
But she already knew that, before Myrddin told her. That she had fused with the Spirit of Achilles.
For she had met him in her sleep.
The man himself had confused over why this had happened, instead of him going back to the Throne.
But he had taken the opportunity to make good on the promise, saving her life.
He could have taken another action, one she had learned afterward. That he could have taken over her body and he would be in the driver's seat so to speak.
But instead, he chooses to give Missy everything that was Achilles. His Skills, his powers, and last his memories.
Missy had seen all of them like one would a movie. She saw everything Achilles had experienced in his life, every sorrow, every victory until his death. And when she saw how he was summoned the Grail War that was currently happening how his Master Dinah was being possessed by a Vampire. The one her, Salem, and Saber had been looking for.
Missy saw how he swore to win the war and free Dinah from Roa, she saw how he failed when she was killed by the Servant identified by Saber as Ruler.
Missy saw how he ripped out his own heart to save her, for the sake of being able to save at least one person.
But as he died once again, Achilles believed that he had failed to be a True Hero.
Missy thought Achilles to be a real hero, one who was worthy of being praised as one.
And now as a Demi-Servant Missy knew what to do. She was Servant now, and had to compete in the Holy Grail War and win it, and fulfill Achilles wish and save Dinah.
For that was the least she could do.
Missy was brought out if her thoughts as the door to her room opened up, and in stepped Dean.
A person that for the longest time Missy had a crush on, but now she no longer felt that 'puppy love' as it was called when looking at him. She felt glad to have gotten over that stupid crush.
"What is it." She asked
"The Director wants to see you in her office." He told her.
"On my way." She answered and walked past Dean and out of the Wards area. She heard him say something to her, she ignored him.
She walked through the PRT Headquarter, she took the elevator up to the Director's floor. She walked through the door to the pre-office where Piggot's secretary.
She walked past the working woman and into the main office.
There she saw Director Piggot sitting in her chair and standing next to her was Armsmaster.
"You wanted to talk to me, Director?" Missy reaffirmed her needed presence in the room.
"I did, now please take a seat, Missy." Missy did what was requested of her and took a seat in front of the desk. "I would like to know why you broke protocol yesterday?"
"I don't understand what you mean?"
Armsmaster took over the conversation. "After the briefing yesterday, you left the PRT Headquarters with the two former Heroes Salem and Sigurd."
"You said we could go out if we went with a Hero and I-wait what do you mean former Heroes?" Missy asked as noticed how Armsmaster had addressed her Saviors as it were.
"Yes, go out with a Protectorate or affiliated Hero, but those two were neither, and yes former Heroes. As they are now wanted for being responsible for the death of the Ward known as Vista. And are now labeled as villains." Piggot berated her taking over the conversation again.
Missy felt a surge of rage at those words.
"Why are they wanted for my death, I'm still alive, heck they saved my life!" Missy yelled at the fat cow who dared demean her two heroes.
"Missy calm down." Came Armsmasters voice. But she ignored him as she heard Piggot continue to spout nonsense.
"And they wouldn't have needed to save your life if they hadn't taken you with them. And have you even looked in the mirror? You don't look even close to what you did before. And do you think that people will believe you are her? So we have declared Missy Brion deceased, and you will be given a new identity and sent to another city."
It was at that, she stood up from and walked towards the door.
"Missy where do you think you're going young lady, sit back down we are not done here yet!" Piggot yelled her voice rising.
"You might not be, but I am. And like you said, Missy Brion is dead, so you have no power over me anymore." Missy ran.
She ran through the door and through the next one and back into the hall.
Missy heard the alarm go off.
It seemed they would not let her go.
But she needed to leave, and they would not get her.
With a thought, she summoned Achilles armor now seemingly changed to fit her feminine form. And with another, she activated her Parahuman power, and in a single step, she stood next to the window.
Missy, no she wasn't Missy anymore, caused by the acts of Ruler and the PRT that little girl was now dead.
So, she needed a new name, and she knew the perfect one. For it was one Achilles had used when he been disguised as a girl by his mother.
Her name was Phyrra.
Phyrra smashed open the window with her new strength and jumped out, truly leaving her old life behind.
And Phyrra found that she didn't care about it anymore.
For now thanks to the memories of Achilles, she had matured.
Now she landed on the ground with a loud bang, sending dirt up into the air around her.
She was out, but she needed to put some more distance between her and her former comrades.
She began to run into town away from the PRT, she needed to try and find Salem and Saber. They would be the best allies in the war for her.
Now though it was to get a look at how her body had changed since yesterday, to see how different she looked.
Before where she had barely made four and a half feet in height, now she stood at a toweringsix compared to before. Her former blond hair was now as green as the costume she normallywore, and it was now long and tied in a ponytail down to her behind.

... This feel more like an outline than an actual chapter.
(Not)Nice to see that PRT has the idiot ball in a deathgrip again. The only way it logically makes sense (to me at least) is if ROB was enforcing the CYOA disadvantages through mindfuckery.

OK im going to be honest, the PRT wanted portion makes absolutely no sense. it would probably be better to have it so the PRT's clock-tower contacts instead had a sealing designation and sent spooks or something after them.

School.
A place for humans to learn about the world in a safe environment, where they could learn to survive in the real world.
But apparently not Winslow High School, this place was fucking dumb, and it contained everything wrong about the American educational system in a single location.
I stood in Spirit Form in the back of Taylor's classroom and was slowly seething with rage as I saw Taylor go through her school day.
But what pissed me off the most of was that I couldn't do anything to help L her as she was shat on by her classmates and bullied by the trio.
I had initially thought that maybe, just maybe, that in this universe the bullying or the teachers weren't that bad.
Nope, reality just had to screw me over again as I saw Madison take Taylor's work right in front of Gladly and he hadn't done or said anything.
I couldn't even.. Didn't even…
Aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhh!
I had read a lot of stories about shit schools and teachers before all this happened. And for the most part, I couldn't even believe that such things happened.
It might be having a lot of bias because I actually had good teachers that did their job. Except for that German teacher in six that called me a linguistic failure.
Fuck her.
I couldn't believe that teachers could act that way towards their students or be so stupid, but Reality just kept proving me wrong.
So I just spend most of the time in the back thinking about the clusterfuck that had been yesterday, and how it had gotten even worse after having been the fuck out by Ruler.
It had started right after Taylor had finished healing Vista, I had noticed the young Wards presence start to change and when her body, and a few seconds later Taylor had collapsed with fully grown Vista on top of her.
And she now looked like a female version of Achilles, and she now felt like a Servant. I knew what had happened that Vista had become a Demi-Servant just like me.
Of course, Taylor had panicked upon seeing Vista's changed form. But I managed to calm her down telling her what had happened and that it wasn't her fault.
Afterwards, the Protectorate Heroes showed up finally, and we handed over the changed Vista to Armsmaster. We explained to him what had happened, and left the scene to go home. But as we left I saw that Armsmaster's face was one of rage.
It obvious he blamed us for what had happened to Vista, and I knew the anger towards us was irrational. I didn't blame him for feeling such a thing.
We apparated back into the Hebert Home and Taylor immediately went up to her dad's room.
I could hear her crying.
But the worst was yet to come as later when Taylor and Danny finally left the bedroom and eat some dinner. We were all sitting on the sofa together flipping through tv channels having a good time when we came to a stop on the news.
And there they were, showing a live press conference from the PRT about what had happened earlier that day.
Both Taylor and my mind froze when they announced that Vista had died during the attack by Ruler. And by order of Chief Director Costa-Brown, we had been designated as those responsible for her death, we were labeled villains and now wanted for arrest. For when you caved to a Wards demands and took them into a dangerous situation you didn't deserve to be called a Hero.
We had all been pissed and angry when we heard what they said, but then I fought about the situation my anger changed from the PRT to somebody else.
Piggot had been right we shouldn't have let Vista convince us to take her along. It was really irresponsible. Hindsight was 20/20 as they said, and I could understand declaring Vista the Cape dead. As there was literally no similarity between her old and new look. I also remembered who our Chief-Director actually was and who she worked for.
Fucking PreCogs... was this how Warhammer fans felt about Farseers?
Well, I couldn't wait to stab Christian in the stomach. The bastard had Revelation so he probably fucking knew that Vista was going to be there, but he bombed the place with his Noble Phantasm anyway.
RingRingRing
I left my thoughts as I heard the school bell ring and saw the students begin to pack their things, with Taylor was extra speedy, and in less than five seconds she was out through the classroom's door.
I decided to take a shortcut and walked through the wall and out into the halls of Winslow High.
I loved being a ghost sometimes. The dead part sucks though.
Taylor came a second later, and we both headed for the exit as we didn't want to be in cesspool any longer than necessary.
And luckily we managed to leave before the trio managed to corner her, we left the school behind, and after going five-hundred meters, I spoke to Taylor mentally.
"I'm sorry Taylor."
"What? What are you talking about Siegfried?"
"I'm sorry for no not being to help you in the school."
"Siegfried... that's not your problem, and it was you that insisted on following me to it."
"I can see that it's hurting you, Taylor. That place is not good for you, and I won't let you won't go there anymore."
"What are you talking about Siegfried? I need to go to school."
"You do, but not there, not anymore Taylor. That place is poisonous. I might not know much about modern schools, but what I've gotten from the Grail tells me what happened to you is not okay. Taylor... I'm your Servant, I care about you..."
"No Siegfried, I need to go there, or I lose to them."
"Lose to who Taylor!? To your bullies?! Please... they don't matter Taylor! if you keep going there then the only person who's losing is you!"
"…"
"Taylor, what I'm saying they don't win if you don't go back to school. They might think they won the battle, but they won't realize that they have lost the war."
"I'll think about it."
"Now, how about we get home and talk to your dad. You put on your costume, and we go out do some heroics, screw what the PRT says, we're still heroes. And I want to punch a Nazi in the face."
"Sure... let's go and do that."
I saw Taylor smile a little as we stepped onto the bus.

Taylor came a second later, and we both headed for the exit as we didn't want to be in cesspool any longer than necessary.
And luckily we managed to leave before the trio managed to corner her, we left the school behind, and after going five-hundred meters, I spoke to Taylor mentally.
"I'm sorry Taylor."
"What? What are you talking about Siegfried?"
"I'm sorry for no not being to help you in the school."
"Siegfried... that's not your problem, and it was you that insisted on following me to it."
"I can see that it's hurting you, Taylor. That place is not good for you, and I won't let you won't go there anymore."
"What are you talking about Siegfried? I need to go to school."
"You do, but not there, not anymore Taylor. That place is poisonous. I might not know much about modern schools, but what I've gotten from the Grail tells me what happened to you is not okay. Taylor... I'm your Servant, I care about you..."
"No Siegfried, I need to go there, or I lose to them."
"Lose to who Taylor!? To your bullies?! Please... they don't matter Taylor! if you keep going there then the only person who's losing is you!"
"…"
"Taylor, what I'm saying they don't win if you don't go back to school. They might think they won the battle, but they won't realize that they have lost the war."
"I'll think about it."
"Now, how about we get home and talk to your dad. You put on your costume, and we go out do some heroics, screw what the PRT says, we're still heroes. And I want to punch a Nazi in the face."
"Sure... let's go and do that."
I saw Taylor smile a little as we stepped onto the bus.

Shiroe vi Akihabara Commands you...
to be honest, it does make some sense. I mean how else do you explain Vista's death? Certainly PRT does not want to people to think it is their fault, so they use Salem as scapegoat.
On the other it is a dumb move, because they push 2 powerful capes, at best into unsanctioned vigilantism, at worst a villainy. And by branding Salem as an enemy, they completely ignored what Vista would think about this situation. Thinking that she would act as certainly not trained child-soldier that she is, and would completely obey orders despite her personal feeling like a good soldier, that of course she is not.

"Dad, we're home!" Taylor announced as we walked into the kitchen, and I materialized into physical form so I could interact with the world.
"Coming!" He responded, and seconds later the father turned Dead Apostle joined us in the kitchen. "So how was your day Taylor?" Danny asked.
I noticed her hesitate a bit before she answered.
Dammit Taylor.
"It was okay, like usual." She gave a short answer that gave no details.
Danny looked me in the eyes and I shook my head. I saw Danny sigh before he spoke to Taylor. "I'm guessing that the two of you are going to go out heroing in a little bit?" He asked.
"Yeah."
"Okay, so before you go, could I talk to Siegfried for a minute or two?"
I saw the acceptance in Taylor's eyes as she realized the conversation that was about to happen. "Sure, I'm just going to go down in my Workshop, come get me when you're done." She told us, leaving Danny and me in the kitchen.
"I think we're going to need this for what we're about to talk about," Danny said as he walked over to the fridge and took out two beer cans. He placed them on the table and sat down, I followed. "So were you with Taylor the whole time she was in school?" Danny asked.
"I was."
"So can you tell me if my daughter is being bullied?"
"Yes."
"They promised they would make it stop!" Danny raged and by accident broke the table under fist as he slammed it. I managed to grab the beers before they fell to the ground. I popped one open and handed it to Danny. He took it and drank almost all of it in a single take. "Thanks for that. So do you know who has been doing it?" He asked.
I knew what Danny wanted, he wanted names, names he could direct his anger at. And I knew that if I told him that Emma Barnes had been bullying Taylor, he would go on a rampage. So I would only tell him about the only one who acted today.
"I only saw one in action today, but there were signs that more were bullying her. I only got her first name, it is Madison." I told Danny, and I just saw him slump into his chair and drank the rest of his beer.
I had yet to open mine, cause if I was going to drink alcohol, it was going to be the real shit. Not cheap American swil.
"Danny, I'll tell you what I told your daughter earlier."
"And what is that?"
"She needs to leave that school and never come back." I looked Danny dead serious in the eye, for I meant this. Winslow was a bomb waiting to go off.
"You're right, but I can't send her somewhere else Siegfried. The new school year has started and no one will accept such a late transfer."
"Then just pull her out and hire private teachers and get her homeschooled. It will be much better, it was how I was taught." Well, it was how Siegfried had learned things, since he had been a prince in life, so he had been taught writing and reading.
"But that will cost money we don't-" I just gave him a look. "Oh? Right, she can just make it out of thin air now can't she?" I nodded. "I'll talk to her about it when you get back from patrolling."
"Glad to hear that Danny. Now let's talk about you."
"Me?"
"Yes, you Danny. With what has happened to you in such a short amount of time, I can see that those feelings are building up. And with that outburst, earlier you need to let it out before you hurt somebody." I didn't need to mention that somebody was Taylor. I would have expected an outburst of rage from Danny after I finished talking, but instead, I got a sad sigh.
"I want to scream, I want to get angry, but I know it won't work. I've almost lost everything Siegfried. My coworkers and friends are dead, turned into undead mindless monsters. And the reason I didn't join them was a stroke of luck. And instead, I became a literal bloody vampire. Everything I've build up in the last fifteen years, gone! The only thing I have left is my house and Taylor, but I even failed her." Dammy berated himself as he palmed his hair.
"You haven't failed her." I corrected him, and he hadn't... not yet anyway.
"Yes, I have Siegfried. I didn't notice my daughter being bullied for... years probably. I didn't even notice how different her attitude was, all because I was too self-absorbed in my own problems. I failed to be a father to her when she needed me the most."
I flicked Danny on the forehead.
"Argh! Why did you do that?" Danny moaned as he rubbed the spot I had hit.
"To knock you out of that pit of despair you were throwing yourself into. If you think you've failed Taylor, fine. Then do better from now on, and be the dad that she needs, at least trywhen we get back."
"Yeah... you're right. This should be a new start for the both of us. I'll talk to Taylor about school when you're done being heroes, and fuck what the PRT says, my girl did the best she could in that situation." Danny spoke that last part proudly.
"Great! I'll call her up now, and we can get going." I focused on our link.
"Hey Taylor, your dad and I are done talking."
"Be there in a second."
And a few seconds later Taylor was dressed in costume in the kitchen. "Okay, what happened here?" Taylor asked as she looked broken table.
"Your father accidently broke it." I said and Danny had the right to be ashamed when I did.
"Don't worry, I'll fix it." She waved her staff and the table put itself back together. "So Siegfried, are you ready?"
"I am Taylor, now let's go out and be heroes."
"Where should we start?"
"Apparate us to where we fought Victor and Lancer, and we can go from there," I suggested.
"I'm okay with that." She responded and grabbed my arm, and a second later we were squeezed through a straw.

The standard pop came as Taylor, and I reappeared in reality.
I was never going to get used to feeling what.
We were now, standing on a rooftop the same one we had been on Friday night when we had fought Lancer and Victor.
"We're here, so do you have any idea what we should do next?" Taylor asked me, standing right beside me.
"Probably something we should have done before we left," I said, as I took out my phone and accessed the internet.
"What are you looking after?" Taylor asked as she looked at my phone screen.
"Just checking the news to see if any of the gangs are doing something. Man, we are out of the loop." I said as I looked at the emergency news feed. There was indeed an app for everything.
"What is it?"
*Boom*
"What was that?" Taylor asked as we looked at where the sound of the explosion had come from and saw smoke rising in the distance.
"That Taylor is the Empire and the ABB going to war with each other. Apparently, somebody assassinated Lung along with that Rubi has disappeared meaning Oni Lee is the only Parahuman left in the ABB. So the Empire decided to move out in force to take over their territory." I told her.
"When the heck did all of that start?" Taylor asked incredulously.
"It started about twenty minutes ago. So do you want to take out two gangs at once and remove the last gangs in the city?" I asked her. It was basically true, Roa had devoured the Merchants, and Coil was a non-entity for me at the moment. And the ABB was on its last legs and with all Empire Capes out, they could be ended in one day.
"Like you have to ask."
"Good, now remember Taylor, a heroes job is to kill monsters," I spoke.
I saw her nod, and before she could say anything more, I grabbed the teenager and swung her up on my back. "And to make sure that were not going to be late for the Party your going to take Dragonslayer express."
I jumped towards the fight.
"SIEGFRIED!" I heard Taylor in shock, and I could only chuckle on the inside.
After jumping from house to house, we came to a stop, at a place where the fighting had passed through. We could hear the sound of shots being fired and screaming a few blocks away, and the sky I could see the fliers of New Wave firing their lasers.
Taylor left my back and stood beside me. "Never do that- Oh god." She was about to scold me for the trip but stopped as she saw the streets below us.
It was a terrible sight to see.
Bodies filled the street from ABB to Empire and just civilians. It was like the world had gone mad for a moment. Looking more like a war zone, than a superpowered beatdown I would have liked this to actually be.
"Okay, Taylor I've got a plan. Can you control your dolls while healing people?" I asked.
"I can, so you want me to go down there and heal as many civilians as possible while directing my dolls to fight the gangs." Taylor exposited my entire plan I had cooked up.
"Nailed it like the Romans," I responded.
"Okay, so which gang do you want me to go after?"
We heard the sound of another explosion going off.
"The ABB, and send them to deal with Oni Lee first, as he is one who is causing the most injuries with his grenades. I'm going to be dealing with the Empire. Contact me through the link if you need me." I said before I jumped off the roof and head towards where the fighting was happening.
Though as I landed, I had to ask if New Wave was here, where was the Protectorate I had expected them to be out in full force along with the PRT and Police. I should call Captain Stacy about after we were done here, and the gangs eliminated.
I landed on the street as I found my first group of Parahuman Nazis.
Gosh I wish, I didn't have to think that sentence.
Anyway, the group was composed of four Capes along with a six mundane henchmen.
Anyway, the Capes were Rune, Stormtiger, Cricket, and Othala. Which made sense as they were the most vulnerable of the lot to damage out of the Empire Capes. SO I had to deal with a Telekinetic, an Aerokinetic, an Echokinetic and a power granter.
I really wish I had run into Kaiser and Hookwolf at least they would provide a bit more of a fight.
However, the sound of me landing on the street immediately alerted them to my presence, and before anyone said anything, the mooks opened fire on me. I couldn't help, but sigh for the few seconds the bullets were fired did absolutely nothing. But I did manage to do something I had always wanted to try and grabbed a single shot out of the air before it hit me with my fingers.
The bullets were ceased to fire as the goons realized they did nothing against me.
"Now before I kill you for the crimes you've committed today." I began stating, and I saw the Nazis freeze. "Since you're a teen Rune I'm going to give you one chance to surrender."
"Why should I surrender to you?" Came Rune's haughty voice. "You and your partner already killed two of ours, and we will have revenge for that."
I guess that this worlds Rune was actually a real believer.
"I mean it if you surrender, I will spare your life Rune."
"Fuck you, you damn thief." I didn't know what she meant by that I hadn't stolen anything from them.
"Well I tried to play nice, but if you insist," I said, and I saw all of the Capes tense reading for me to attack.
I already had my attack plan laid out, Othala was the first that had to go before should she could grant the others Invincibility. And when the rest would fall like the insects they were.
I attacked, but instead of drawing Balmung like I usually would, I made use of the bullet I had grabbed and flicked it at Othala. I flicked it with my finger like one would a pebble, but I used all my strength to send as fast as a gun would.
Othala was down on the ground before the mini sonic boom I had made could be heard.
She was clutching her throat as blood spilled out of it, due to the bullet severing all her significant veins in it. She would die in a few seconds from blood loss and lack of oxygen to the brain.
"Damn you, you fucking nigger!" I heard Stormtiger roar as he began swinging blades of air at me.
I dodged, and I burst of speed I was right behind Rune delivered a chop to her neck and shattering her spinal column killing her instantly and painless.
After that, I unsheathed my blade and swung it eight times killing the rest of them without any effort.
I knew that I was doing good, but fuck this was boring.
Being a battle maniac was troublesome.
I wonder what Taylor is up too.

Chapter 23 - Day 4 - Part 4

Rage.
That was what Taylor felt, as she continued to walk from body to body healing all those she could.
It was an emotion that continued to rise as she came to the body of people she was too late to save and had already died. Especially the children, the innocent children that had been massacred by these animals and monsters.
Yes, that was Taylor thought them as, animals and beasts not even worthy of being called human anymore. That was what both E88 and the ABB were to her now.
How could she not, for nobody that called itself human would be able to go through with such thing she was seeing.
Found you, Taylor thought as she smiled behind her mask, matching the happy face that had been carved into it. As she watched through the eyes of her dolls as they had come upon the main force of ABB and E88 that were middle in a fight a few streets away from her location.
And through her dolls' eyes, she saw Oni Lee running around like the suicidal bomber that he was leaving ash clones behind as he teleported about dropping grenades.
She was bit disappointed as he was the only Parahuman around the fight as she couldn't see any Empire Capes in the battle, so she thought they were elsewhere.
Probably trying to survive fighting Siegfried.
She directed her dolls and had them prepare their weapons.
Siegfried, you were right, a Heroes job is to kill monsters. And I'm about to be a big goddamn Hero! Taylor mentally roared as her dolls rushed towards the monsters killing each other.
She had three dolls out one for each group, and one for Oni Lee.
She easily commanded her dolls while she healed the victims around. Taylor loved Memory Partition as it allowed her to truly multitask.
The hand of the doll heading towards Oni Lee opened up and several wires popped and thrashing about as if they were alive. And they kinda were as the Soul Piece and Semblance animated them like the rest of the doll.
The wires rocketed forth like a snake for its prey and struck the Asian Parahuman right the chest and went through him. But Taylor seethed in disappointment as Oni Lee dispersed into ash
It wasn't as easy as she had hoped it would.
She scowled as she saw a grenade explode right in front of her doll, but it didn't do anything as it had been enchanted to be unbreakable by most things.
And a grenade was undoubtedly not enough to do the trick. It would take a Noble Phantasm, Endbringer, or Scion's golden beams to damage it.
Though with attack failure knew that she was going to need more than one pair of eyes to catch Oni Lee.
She had the dolls currently ending the Empire mooks disengage and join with the one that was fighting Oni Lee.
Taylor had it engage Oni Lee attacking him with the weapon it wielded a vibrating Prana scythe. Her mind came up with a lot of weird ideas sometimes. And just like before Oni Lee teleported away leaving a suicidal ash clone behind that blew up in a pretty explosion.
If she were one doing it, Taylor would have called it art.
Though now with one of her dolls observing Oni Lee as he teleported about the place, and because of that Taylor gained a lot of information about how his powers worked just by watching.
Taylor learned that he could only teleport to where his eyes could see, and that his momentum kept going when he did.
She had a rather simple plan now, and that was to trap the demon so he couldn't port away from her attacks.
And it was easy as she could still utilize her Wizarding Magic through her dolls.
She had wire doll.
I really need to give them proper names.
Make a timed Transfiguration on one the roofs that would activate when somebody stepped into the designated area.
Now she just had to lure Oni Lee over to the area, and that was somewhat easy as Oni Lee didn't seem to be able of critical planning or he would have realized, she just let him into a trap.
The only ABB Cape left teleported straight into Taylor's designated area, and the spell activated, Transfiguring the concrete roof into a box that trapped Oni Lee inside.
Taylor felt a sense of satisfaction as she managed to trap the monster and she just needed put its out its miserable existence.
She guided the doll she had used to make the cage over to it and had it place its hand on the concrete.
She when had it send Prana straight into the box, using Reinforcement on it.
And Taylor continued to do so even past the safety threshold of being able to support the energy being pumped into it. But that was what she wanted for when it did go critical, it would very much explode killing Oni Lee.
Taylor watched through her doll's eyes, as lines of Prana began spreading through the concrete and a few seconds later the entire thing exploded into a thousand shards.
They went everywhere outward and inwards, and none left even a scratch on her doll's clothes.
She saw what remained of Oni lee's body, heck it was wrong to even call it a human body anymore, now it just kinda looked like porcupine road kill.
Taylor took her attention away from the body as it was no threat to her, and had her two dolls rejoin the slaughtering of monsters wearing human skins down in the street though there weren't many left as most had begun running away from her remaining doll and its buzzsaw hand.
While doing so, Tayor continued to heal the victims they had left behind.
She, however, stopped as she heard two voices speak to her one at her person and another to her dolls.
"Unknown Master this Armsmaster and Miss Militia of the Protectorate ENE you're under arrest." Spoke Armsmaster who was sitting on his bike with Miss Militia right behind him wielding a Containment Foam Launcher.
"Salem answer me honestly were you truly responsible for Vista's death?" Asked a floating Glory Girl carrying her sister.
"Hello, Armsmaster and for what?" She asked the Protectorate leader through her dolls in unison.
"Hello, Glory Girl and no I'm not for she is not dead." She answered Victoria Dallon, her voice sounding tired as large part of her wanted the day to be over soon, but she knew that would not be the case.

A/N: Well Taylor seems to have suffered a small psychotic break.
FGO Diary: EX Rank luck has been achieved got two Scathach one from a ten-roll and one from a ticket. Got Bustiest Pirate from Paid Gacha. Have pulled eight SSR In total now.
That was what Taylor felt, as she continued to walk from body to body healing all those she could.
It was an emotion that continued to rise as she came to the body of people she was too late to save and had already died. Especially the children, the innocent children that had been massacred by these animals and monsters.
Yes, that was Taylor thought them as, animals and beasts not even worthy of being called human anymore. That was what both E88 and the ABB were to her now.
How could she not, for nobody that called itself human would be able to go through with such thing she was seeing.
Found you, Taylor thought as she smiled behind her mask, matching the happy face that had been carved into it. As she watched through the eyes of her dolls as they had come upon the main force of ABB and E88 that were middle in a fight a few streets away from her location.
And through her dolls' eyes, she saw Oni Lee running around like the suicidal bomber that he was leaving ash clones behind as he teleported about dropping grenades.
She was bit disappointed as he was the only Parahuman around the fight as she couldn't see any Empire Capes in the battle, so she thought they were elsewhere.
Probably trying to survive fighting Siegfried.
She directed her dolls and had them prepare their weapons.
Siegfried, you were right, a Heroes job is to kill monsters. And I'm about to be a big goddamn Hero! Taylor mentally roared as her dolls rushed towards the monsters killing each other.
She had three dolls out one for each group, and one for Oni Lee.
She easily commanded her dolls while she healed the victims around. Taylor loved Memory Partition as it allowed her to truly multitask.
The hand of the doll heading towards Oni Lee opened up and several wires popped and thrashing about as if they were alive. And they kinda were as the Soul Piece and Semblance animated them like the rest of the doll.
The wires rocketed forth like a snake for its prey and struck the Asian Parahuman right the chest and went through him. But Taylor seethed in disappointment as Oni Lee dispersed into ash
It wasn't as easy as she had hoped it would.
She scowled as she saw a grenade explode right in front of her doll, but it didn't do anything as it had been enchanted to be unbreakable by most things.
And a grenade was undoubtedly not enough to do the trick. It would take a Noble Phantasm, Endbringer, or Scion's golden beams to damage it.
Though with attack failure knew that she was going to need more than one pair of eyes to catch Oni Lee.
She had the dolls currently ending the Empire mooks disengage and join with the one that was fighting Oni Lee.
Taylor had it engage Oni Lee attacking him with the weapon it wielded a vibrating Prana scythe. Her mind came up with a lot of weird ideas sometimes. And just like before Oni Lee teleported away leaving a suicidal ash clone behind that blew up in a pretty explosion.
If she were one doing it, Taylor would have called it art.
Though now with one of her dolls observing Oni Lee as he teleported about the place, and because of that Taylor gained a lot of information about how his powers worked just by watching.
Taylor learned that he could only teleport to where his eyes could see, and that his momentum kept going when he did.
She had a rather simple plan now, and that was to trap the demon so he couldn't port away from her attacks.
And it was easy as she could still utilize her Wizarding Magic through her dolls.
She had wire doll.
I really need to give them proper names.
Make a timed Transfiguration on one the roofs that would activate when somebody stepped into the designated area.
Now she just had to lure Oni Lee over to the area, and that was somewhat easy as Oni Lee didn't seem to be able of critical planning or he would have realized, she just let him into a trap.
The only ABB Cape left teleported straight into Taylor's designated area, and the spell activated, Transfiguring the concrete roof into a box that trapped Oni Lee inside.
Taylor felt a sense of satisfaction as she managed to trap the monster and she just needed put its out its miserable existence.
She guided the doll she had used to make the cage over to it and had it place its hand on the concrete.
She when had it send Prana straight into the box, using Reinforcement on it.
And Taylor continued to do so even past the safety threshold of being able to support the energy being pumped into it. But that was what she wanted for when it did go critical, it would very much explode killing Oni Lee.
Taylor watched through her doll's eyes, as lines of Prana began spreading through the concrete and a few seconds later the entire thing exploded into a thousand shards.
They went everywhere outward and inwards, and none left even a scratch on her doll's clothes.
She saw what remained of Oni lee's body, heck it was wrong to even call it a human body anymore, now it just kinda looked like porcupine road kill.
Taylor took her attention away from the body as it was no threat to her, and had her two dolls rejoin the slaughtering of monsters wearing human skins down in the street though there weren't many left as most had begun running away from her remaining doll and its buzzsaw hand.

Chapter 24 - Day 4 - Part 5
- Location
- Denmark
Kaiser, Hookwolf, Krieg, Fenja and Menja, Fog and Night.
Those were the remaining Capes in the Empire that were still alive and needed to be taken down. Though I didn't know if Purity was still going to be a no-show, or she would join the fight. I really hoped that she had made the smart choice and stayed home with Aster. For I didn't want to separate a child from their mother anytime soon.
Right now I was running towards the general direction I thought Kaiser was at, as a few seconds ago I saw Fenja and Menja rise above the buildings, though right after they were engaged by the fliers of new wave, and as I ran they still were, with the exception Glory Girl.
But there was another problem besides the apparent madness of the Empire I needed to address before it became a problem.
And that problem was Taylor.
I knew that Masters and Servants had a psychic connection with each other that allowed them to talk to each other telepathically. But with me an Taylor it had become something more, I could feel her emotions, I didn't know if she could feel mine.
For since we had arrived at the massacre, the emotions I had been getting from Taylor had become darker, for lack of a better word. I could feel waves of anger coming through our bond, along with frustrations.
And if it continued, I believe that Taylor would soon crack under her own emotions regarding the current situation.
I send my thoughts through our bond, to talk with her.
"Taylor?"
"Siegfried you were right you know."
And now I was concerned.
"Taylor, what do you mean."
"I'm Talking about what you said, about humans and monsters, you were right. They were just animals in the end."
"Taylor, what did you do, what happened?"
"Oh you know I was healing as many people as I could, and I used my dolls to find Oni Lee and the ABB. And I did, they were killing some many people Siegfried, both the Empire and the ABB. So many dead, so I took your idea to heart and put the animals down, but apparently, Armsmaster and Miss Militia took offense to that."
"Wait, what are you talking with Armsmaster and Miss Militia?"
"I'm currently in a three-way conversation, talking to Panacea and Glory Girl in person, talking to the heroes through my Dolls, and you through the bond. Its rather interesting, I do so enjoy multitasking, I should experiment with it more."
"Keep your focus on the situation, Taylor, I hunting down the remaining Empire, and when I'm done, we're going home. Retreat your Dolls and focus on healing as many people as possible until I'm done."
"Hear, you." I heard finish with a sing-song voice, it was a rather hard decision to make, I wanted to back to Taylor, and pull her home, to make sure she hadn't gone completely crazy, but I had to stop the Empire's insanity. I saw a hero, I was Siegfried, and I had to do what was best for the people.
So I sacrificed one for the sake of the many.
That was when my body was surrounded by fog.
Shit, I thought at the sudden white cloud that now surrounded my body.
I quickly drew Balmung from its sheath and promptly brought it behind me.
Kling.
The sounded of steel rung in my head as I blocked Night's attack with my blade. Night was strong, very much so beyond the normal human in her monster form. But sadly this was the end for her.
I didn't even need to activate Draconic Strength to overpower her.
I would have cut her in half if it hadn't been the sudden beam of kinetic light slamming into my body.
Goddamit Kayden why did you, join I…
Wait that isn't Purity.
My thoughts came to a halt as I saw who the person hanging in the air wasn't Kayden.
It was Legend.
What the hell was he doing here?
"Fog and Night of Empire 88 stand down your under arrest and the same goes for you Sigurd." Legend addressed e with my chosen Cape name and the now human Fog and Night standing a few feet away from me.
They looked at Legend with their emotionless dead eyes.
"Your rampage is over, Kaiser and the rest of your fellow Empire members have been captured." The electric blue man told them with confidence in his eyes. And he was right I could no longer see the giant forms of Menja and Fenja. "And, Sigurd I'm disappointed in you, to think you called yourself a hero, you and your partner Salem will be going to the Bird Cage."
"And for what reason might, we deserve such a Fate?" I asked sarcastically. I knew damn well what he was going to say. This was the guy that wanted to Cage Taylor in canon for the possibility of accidentally seeing a hero unmasked. The Worm fandom might portray him as the only good person among the Triumvirate but in reality as big an asshole as the rest of them.
"For indiscriminate murder and the death of a Ward." He said.
I wanted to laugh at him. "We both know that's bullshit, they were slaughtering people like it was fucking Crusade, and we both know Vista is very much alive." I rebutted.
"Taylor, Master, get ready to Apparate home and when to use a Command Seal to teleport me back to."
"Why Siegfried, is something wrong, what about the Empire and the victims?"
"Legend just showed up and said they had taken down all Empire Capes. Only ones still up are Fog and Night, and they are standing right next to me. Legend interrupted before I could finish them.
"Wait, what Legend is here? What about the rest of the Triumvirate."
"Don't know, and to also inform you, Legend said if we are caught we would be sent straight to the Bird Cage."
"… I use the command in a minute, just need to finish up here, wait? hold up somebody just arrived at my position."
Like that my conversation with Taylor ended. I hoped that it was a friendly that had found Taylor.
I focused my gaze back to Legend, as he spoke again, his sight watching the three of us.
"To the public she is dead, and that is all that matters, and you two have still killed a lot of people in the past twenty is minutes according to Dragons satellites."
"I think you're wrong about that Legend I don't kill people, I kill monsters. And I still have to more that needs to be put out their misery." I told him as it was a fact, Fog and Night were going to die in a few short moments.
"And you say you're against the Empire, don't you find appalling to dehumanize some like, that to call them monsters that need to slaughtered." Legend tried to refute my claim by saying something to his mind was heroic and good.
Except to my ears, it failed, for many it would come off as defending the Empire and its actions. Oh, Legend you try so hard to be Superman, but you fail as even he would call these people monsters and have them brought to the chair. He might not kill people, but he would sure as hell let the State do it for him.
"And I will call, you stupid if you believe the trash you have just spouted. Now I have something I need to finish." I said, and I acted.
For this was the problem with Metaknowledge, you knew things that others would never know. For unlike Legend I knew the backstory of Fog Night, and killing them was a mercy to put them out of their painful existence.
Balmung cut through the air and Night, and Fog. The two didn't even know what had happened as their lower and upper body was separated.
Blood now coated my blade.
But as they died I saw relief appear in their eyes, and the sad thing was they probably didn't even know why they felt that way.
"Murderer!" Legend shouted as he fired his laser at me.
"Talk to you latter False Hero," I got the last jab in, as I felt the effect of the Command Seal take effect and I was no longer standing on the streets of Brockton Bay, but in the kitchen of the Hebert home.
Danny was sitting along with Taylor at the kitchen table and to my surprise an extra guest.
"Vista what are you doing here?" I said in surprise at the transformed girl.
Xxx
A/N: Really kept that promise to finish before the new year didn't I ops. Though I can say there are only one chapter left of this arc, and then an interlude or two. When the next arc is going to be an Endbringer battle. Then a few more interludes and when the last arc, the final fights of the Holy Grail war, plus surprise guest appearances.

I'm at the Kaiser Interlude. It doesn't fit, Kaiser isn't racist, he's too smart for that. Even if we assume otherwise, Kaiser also wouldn't think in such crass terms as "chinks and niggers". He would have a more refined internal monologue.
The only reason Kaiser uses racism is to gain more power over the organization he inherited from his father.

Kaiser himself isn't sold on the Racist party line, but he isn't above using that kind of statement to fire up his more Racist underlings Krieg being one example. So your last line is correct, just have to keep in mind who his audience is...
His audience is... The Simurgh? He hasn't heard about Tattletale's claims by that point, and the only other rumored mindreader isn't someone likely to blabber his secret.

"Please don't call me Vista, cause apparently according to the PRT I'm dead." Missy spit out. "So, either call me Pyrrha or Servant Shielder." The aged up girl said. "As to why I'm here I wanted to partner up with you, and I was lucky to find your Master Saber. And she teleported me here, along with herself."
I looked at Taylor. "Yeah, its true she arrived just before I Apparated back home. Said that she wanted to talk to the both of us."
"Alright, then so, based on what you said before you know that I'm Saber, and by that logic, you know about the Holy Grail War currently happening in the city?" I asked.
Vista- no Pyrrha nodded, best to refer to her as she wanted to be referred to. "Yeah, after you gave me Achilles' heart, I kinda fused with his Saint Graph, and I became the new Shielder Servant. And by doing that, I got all of his memories and abilities. It was certainly a trippy experience, seeing all of his memories, leaves a person changed." So, she was more like a perfected version of what I-no, not me Siegfried had done to Sieg. Or what I was now.
"And that's why you ran away from the PRT?" That was Danny asking, the newly turned Dead Apostle butting in on the conversation.
"I did Mr. Hebert I couldn't work together with those that condemned those that saved my life, and the fact that they still treated me like a child." Heh, guess they had introduced themselves to each other before I got Command Sealed back.
"Alright you can stay in the house as long as you want, but you're going to have to sleep on the couch. We don't have any extra beds for you to sleep on." Danny told the girl.
"That won't be problem dad I can just Transfigure the sofa into a bed for her to use," Taylor said, in a calm tone. And I was quickly reminded to talk to her about what had happened.
"Okay, I can live with that. So, I'm going to start making some food, I managed to shop earlier today for ingredients to make some Lasagna. Thankfully being vampire haven't killed my taste buds." Danny grumbled as he sat about pulling out ingredients.
"Like I said before I want to partner up with you guys to win the war and get the Grail," Pyrrha said.
"Okay, but what is our wish?" Taylor asked the green haired girl.
"I want to fulfill Achilles' wish and bring back Dinah," She answered.
"I don't have a problem with that Master, I do not have a wish. So, the two of you can each have your wish after we win the war." I said.
"So, we have an agreement then?" Taylor asked.
"We do."
And so I watched the two shake hands sealing the partnership they had just established.
Xxx
"So, you wanted to talk to me, Siegfried," Taylor spoke my name as she sat down on the bed.
We had just finished eating dinner, and I had said to Taylor that I wanted to talk to her. Not as a Servant to Master, but as friends.
I removed Balmung from my back, placing it up against the wall before I took a seat next to her.
"I simply wanted, to ask how you're doing after what happened earlier?" I asked I didn't know how else approach the subject, and I needed to do something to break the ice.
I was met with silence.
"Taylor, I am worried about you, I don't know what's going on inside your head. But what you said over the link worried me. And I fear I have done more damage to you, then I helped you then I spouted my philosophy in regards to monsters and humans. I am sorry Taylor, I have forced you to kill then you shouldn't have done so. I'm a hero old, my thoughts should have no bearing, on your beliefs and actions." I babbled. "Sorry, I'm bad all this emotional stuff. But if you need a shoulder to cry on, or talk to I will try my best to help you, Master."
I was so fucking bad at this, I didn't know how to deal with traumatized girls, and so I had just spouted drivel from my mouth.
I was about to stand up, but before I could Taylor pinned me with a full body hug, and she began to cry.
I just wrapped my arms around her in response.
I had seriously no idea what to do here.
"I just wanted to be a hero and show them that I wasn't weak, that I'm strong. But its all happened so fast, Victor, dad, and the Empire. I just don't know what to do, and what I'm supposed to feel, for I don't feel bad about killing them at all." Taylor cried, and I hugged her closer.
But it was the second part of what she said that stroke a chord with me. I knew that Worm was all about Escalation. Heck Taylor's nickname in the fandom was Queen of Escalation. But the happenings of events here were beginning to be absurd. Taylor had summoned me three days ago and already was the gangs of Brockton Bay, decimated and pretty much gone.
That had to be a fucking record for an Insert like myself.
At this rate, I was beginning to suspect that an Endbringer or the Slaughter House 9 would attack tomorrow.
God, I hoped not, Taylor did not need to deal with them right now.
After a few minutes, Taylor's sobbing stopped, and she whipped the tears from her face. "Hey, Taylor the gangs are pretty much gone now, so we don't need to worry about them anymore. So, we can just focus on the Grail War now, and if you want you can do some humanitarian work, and just help people, not fight. You probably need to do something none violent." I recommended to her.
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Now, I want to get some sleep, but I don't want to be alone, can you stay here for tonight?" Taylor asked sheepishly.
I smiled at the face she was making. "Sure, Taylor I stay." I accepted it, as she probably needed a giant teddy bear to hug, right now.
For despite what she had gone through, Taylor in her heart was still a little girl that wanted somebody to comfort her.
"Thank you."
Xxx
A/N: I hope this came across as two people that are terrible at expressing emotions, and what to say while doing it.
I looked at Taylor. "Yeah, its true she arrived just before I Apparated back home. Said that she wanted to talk to the both of us."
"Alright, then so, based on what you said before you know that I'm Saber, and by that logic, you know about the Holy Grail War currently happening in the city?" I asked.

We had just finished eating dinner, and I had said to Taylor that I wanted to talk to her. Not as a Servant to Master, but as friends.
I removed Balmung from my back, placing it up against the wall before I took a seat next to her.
"I simply wanted, to ask how you're doing after what happened earlier?" I asked I didn't know how else approach the subject, and I needed to do something to break the ice.
I was met with silence.
"Taylor, I am worried about you, I don't know what's going on inside your head. But what you said over the link worried me. And I fear I have done more damage to you, then I helped you then I spouted my philosophy in regards to monsters and humans. I am sorry Taylor, I have forced you to kill then you shouldn't have done so. I'm a hero old, my thoughts should have no bearing, on your beliefs and actions." I babbled. "Sorry, I'm bad all this emotional stuff. But if you need a shoulder to cry on, or talk to I will try my best to help you, Master."
I was so fucking bad at this, I didn't know how to deal with traumatized girls, and so I had just spouted drivel from my mouth.
I was about to stand up, but before I could Taylor pinned me with a full body hug, and she began to cry.
I just wrapped my arms around her in response.
I had seriously no idea what to do here.
"I just wanted to be a hero and show them that I wasn't weak, that I'm strong. But its all happened so fast, Victor, dad, and the Empire. I just don't know what to do, and what I'm supposed to feel, for I don't feel bad about killing them at all." Taylor cried, and I hugged her closer.
But it was the second part of what she said that stroke a chord with me. I knew that Worm was all about Escalation. Heck Taylor's nickname in the fandom was Queen of Escalation. But the happenings of events here were beginning to be absurd. Taylor had summoned me three days ago and already was the gangs of Brockton Bay, decimated and pretty much gone.
That had to be a fucking record for an Insert like myself.
At this rate, I was beginning to suspect that an Endbringer or the Slaughter House 9 would attack tomorrow.
God, I hoped not, Taylor did not need to deal with them right now.
After a few minutes, Taylor's sobbing stopped, and she whipped the tears from her face. "Hey, Taylor the gangs are pretty much gone now, so we don't need to worry about them anymore. So, we can just focus on the Grail War now, and if you want you can do some humanitarian work, and just help people, not fight. You probably need to do something none violent." I recommended to her.
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Now, I want to get some sleep, but I don't want to be alone, can you stay here for tonight?" Taylor asked sheepishly.
I smiled at the face she was making. "Sure, Taylor I stay." I accepted it, as she probably needed a giant teddy bear to hug, right now.
For despite what she had gone through, Taylor in her heart was still a little girl that wanted somebody to comfort her.
"Thank you."

A/N: I hope this came across as two people that are terrible at expressing emotions, and what to say while doing it.

Kind of happy this is back, but oh god my eyes.
I think you're missing "War" here.
Butting?
Beds?
"Recalled by a Command Seal" would be better.
Extraneous U?
Summoned you? And I think you're missing "were" somewhere in there.

Legends thoughts were going all over the place as he landed on the roof of the PRT ENE Headquarters. Having just flown from the Rig after having secured Kaiser also known as Max Anders in the special cell designed to hold the metal-controlling Cape.
"Legend Director Piggot is waiting for you down in her office Sir." One of the two officers of rooftop duty informed him as he approached them.
"Thank you, trooper inform the good Director that I'm on my way." Legend said as he walked through the door.
"Yes, Sir!" He answered, and Legend heard the sound of the guy's radio, being spoken through.
It took Legend about two minutes to make his way down from the roof to Piggot's office.
He had a lot of questions for the Director.
He walked through the door and straight past where the secretary was sitting and into the office proper.
"Good afternoon to you Legend and thank you for your assistance in apprehending the surviving Empire Capes," Piggot said, while writing on her computer, probably typing a report to Rebbeca.
"That pleasure is mine Piggot, but can I ask something?" Legend requested.
"What is it you wish to ask me?" Director Piggot inquired.
"What the hell happened in Brockton Bay, in the last 72 hours. The city went from tense and stable, to a madhouse." Legend said for the entire situation had escalated beyond normality, but it seemed to be over with the Empires crusade having been stopped.
"I don't quite know myself, but data by Dragon shows it happened with the death of Viktor and their new Cape, at the hands of Salem and Sigurd. At least the potential S-Class threat was quelled before it cape a serious problem." Piggot said.
"Yes, the one designated as Dead Apostle, eliminated by an unknown Cape. Which lead to the 'death' of a Ward." One could hear the air quotes that mad around that word. "I want to speak to young Vista about what happened."
"I'm afraid that can't happen Legend."
"Why?"
"Vista ran away after we told her what happened and that she would be transferred to another city, as the changes made to her body, she wouldn't be able to continue her previous life." Director Piggot said, explaining the mess that had been made.
"And where is she now?" He asked.
"I got a message, a few minutes ago from Glory Girl of New Wave that she had seen a Cape matching her description, leaving with Salem. Both of teleporting out of where the Empire had passed through."
Legend did not know what to think about that. He would have to ask Rebbeca about it later, see if she had any insight into the situation.
"Thank you for answering, now which actions are you going to take against Sigurd and Salem?" He asked, those two were murders and were never fit to be heroes in the first place. Like they had tried to pass themselves off as in the first place.
"Nothing at the moment."
"What?"
"like I said we are going to do nothing, for now, Legend, the only reason I had them declared as villains were because of a direct order from the Chief-Director, to have a scapegoat," Piggot said, in her usually cold voice.
"Director Piggot, they have killed numerous people."
"Dangerous Capes, and deranged people who were going to commit ethnic cleansing." She put her hands under her chin. "To be frank Legend those two are owed a favor by the city as thanks to their actions Brockton Bay is without crime lords for the first time in years. So, I'm rather happy right now, so I won't waste manpower on a fruitless manhunt. I still appreciate your fast response and assistance Legend. Now I have to continue writing my report to the Chief-Director."
Legend left the room, feeling what the kids called it.
Salty.

Lisa entered the hideout with a smile, having worn the face the entire time she had found out what had happened to Coil.
Oh, she couldn't be happier.
"So, Lisa do you have any news for us, Lisa?" Brian asked as he sat the table phone in his hand. Alec was sitting on the sofa playing his games. And Rachel was making a cuddle pile with her dogs making the most adorable sleeping face.
She could be so cute when she wasn't trying to rip somebodies face off.
"How do you guys like the sound of leaving Brockton Bay, and living the sweet life?"

"You were a real doormat, you know that Siegfried, and that's coming from me," Taylor said, still hugging my body with her own, having used it as a body pillow, to sleep on during the night.
It was now early morning, but the moon was still out.
Fucking winter I hate, why you be so cold towards me. But at least now it didn't bother me anymore. Servant constitution for the win.
"So, you experienced some of the dream cycles?" I asked, I just hoped that she didn't begin to dream about 'me.'
"Yeah, I saw most of your life, and how you just did everything people told you to do… even die. Why didn't you ever say no?" She asked me.
"You can guess that I didn't know how to live for myself, I wanted to live for others fulfilling their wishes, to be well. The best words of I can think that fits are that I wanted to be a Hero of Justice." I said.
Taylor just laughed in response. "Sorry, Siegfried, that just sounded so cheesy, now about we get some breakfast. I think I can smell dad, cooking." And she was right I could hear the sizzling of meat, from downstairs.
"I wait outside while you change," I said as I left Taylor's bedroom and waited for a few moments before she came out dressed in casual clothes.
We went downstairs where we were met by Danny at the stove and Pyrrha, the Cape who was formerly known as Vista sat at the dinner table.
"Good, morning you two. Now I hope nothing overt happened while you were inside my daughter's bedroom during the night." The father said. And while I saw Taylor's face flush, mine was as impassive as ever. I did, however, feel a chill go down my spine as Danny's eyes scrutinized my body. A father's gaze could be truly terrifying if he suspected you of sleeping with his daughter.
"Nothing like that happened dad, Siegfried was just comforting nothing more," Taylor said. Denying any thoughts of us doing that in her father's mind.
Hopefully.
"Okay, I believe you two, now sit down will you, your breakfast is going to be served soon," Danny said as he went back to cooking sausages.
Taylor and I took a seat, and Pyrrha spoke up. "So, guys what is the plan for today?" She asked.
"Well, I'm not going to school today, cause I won't be able to handle it right now, I think I snap and kill somebody. So, I'm going to relax by being down in my Workshop, and then night hits were going got go out and hunt some Servant's I want this war to be over as fast as possible." Taylor answered her.
"Yeah, I agree with you on that this Holy Grail War has already caused to much pain, for everyone involved." She responded to Taylor's plan. "Hey, Saber do you think that we can spar afterward we've eaten I want to test this body out a bit."
"Sure, thing Shielder," I grinned, I would indulge her. If Siegfried's memories hadn't been so perfectly planted into my head, I would probably rush out to test my new body out as soon as I got it. She was probably very hyper right now, and the only thing keeping her grounded was the maturity of Achilles.
"And I-," Danny said as he sat down the large tray with food on it on the table. "-Going to be dealing with more of the fallout from the destruction of Dockworker's Association and it losing all of its workers." He grumbled and looked sad at the same time. Right, Danny just lost all of his friends, and he was the only one who survived. If QA had still been attached to him, he would undoubtedly have triggered because of it.
"Sorry dad, I should have gone sooner, if we had done that when you didn't come home, we could have saved a few more." Taylor apologized.
"Taylor, that wasn't your fault, you couldn't have known what was happening. So, don't blame yourself."
Thank you for saying that.
"Okay, dad." And through the entire exchange, Pyrrha was looking rather awkward. Right her home life had been less than great, so she wasn't used to people talking it out.
And fuck now I was sad.
However, the breakfast was interrupted by the loud wailing of a siren.
"Oh, no Endbringer alarm." All three Brocktonites said at the same time.
I wasn't fucking serious then I said that last night, fuck you, Murphy, you piece of shit.
"That's the Simurgh's to be specific," Pyrrha added to the previous statement.
"Okay, where is it you go to be part of the fight?" Taylor asked as she looked at Pyrrha.
"No, no way in hell Taylor!" Came Danny's angry roar making everyone look at him. "There are many things I'm willing to be okay with. You being a hero, you having killed people, you participating in this stupid Holy Grail War. But you fighting an Endbringer especially the Simurgh is where I draw the line, Taylor."
"Dad, I'm not going to be fighting the Simurgh, Siegfried is, and he is going to kill the winged bitch," Taylor said with the utmost confidence in my ability to do so. And she was right I could easily do so, I had the power of Sting inside of my blade. And combining it with Balmung, I could end her in one strike. "So, I'm just going to provide support. Whether or not you want me to go, dad, I am, and you can't stop us from leaving." She said. And Danny was silent. "I go get my costume on we will be leaving in two." Taylor left the kitchen and Danny slumped down into his chair.
I didn't know what to say, so I just kept quiet, but before Taylor came back wearing her costume. I saw Danny's face morph into one of acceptance. "We'll be seeing you in an hour or two, dad. Pyrrha, where is it the meet up for an Endbringer fight is?" She asked the Shielder Servant.
"It's at the Rig, the light bridge should be on now so we can enter." She answered.
"Okay, hold onto me, so that I can apparate us." And with a bang of displaced air, we left the Hebert home. Not noticing that a white rat had just entered through the window.
Xxx
We had been some of the first to arrive at the Rig, but after five to ten minutes, more Capes had arrived hero and villains being teleported in.
And to my surprise, my fellow Servant's had shown up to assist too, I had expected Edmond and Tesla due to being the Servants of heroes. But I hadn't expected Caster and Gunner to show up. Who turned out to be Cu Chulainn and EMIYA Alter. It seemed that the Servant of the gun had managed to find a new Master after Rin had been killed. The only ones that hadn't shown up were this war's Berserker and Amakusa.
I mentally growled that name in hatred, as I thought about it. The bastard was going to get what was coming to him.
"So, do you want to have a competition to see who can take down the monster first?" Caster asked us.
"That would be fruitless Caster, I'm going to kill the creature with one strike the moment it shows up," I answered.
"You speak with such confidence Saber, even if you're a Hero of the Earth. No, this matter shall be dealt with a genius of the Star such as myself." Archer spoke like he had this in the bag.
"Don't overestimate yourself lightbulb, that is needed is not electricity or lightning, but vengeance. There are millions of human Soul's screaming out in vengeance for it to be killed so only I Avenger can do the deed." Stop being an edgelord Dantes you sound like an angsty teenager. "What you girl who has been gifted the power of Shield, will you try to slay the monster too?" Avenger addressed Pyrrha.
"No, I don't currently have anything that can damage it so, I will just do search and rescue." She replied, not really enjoying the Cavern King's presence.
"To each their own," Archer said. "But it seems that the leader of this organization wants to say few words."
And he was right on a platform stood Legend, Alexandria, and Eidolon along with Armsmaster. "Thank you all for coming to help defend this city, from the Simurgh. And for that, we have to thank Armsmaster and Dragon for their prototype Endbringer warning system, giving us a twenty minutes head start. Now as most you know the standard procedure, we have twenty minutes to push her away from the city or else it will be quarantined. Now you all have been given armbands, those will inform you about the location of the Simurgh, it can use to communicate emergency messages, and it gives casualty numbers to search and rescue." Soon as he said that the armband around my arm lit up and a female voice spoke through it.
"The Simurgh has sped up will arrive in Brocton Bay T-1. She is heading in from east her first target seems to be the Rig." Dragon announced.
"Okay everyone you heard Dragon go into your groups and get ready to fight for life." Came Alexandria's voice."
I shared a look with Taylor, and I saw her nod.
That was my cue.
I left the room as fast as I could, going outside, where I found the highest point of the Rig.
The smell of seawater assaulted my nose as the wind blasted against my face.
And there she was.
The Simurgh, the hope killer.
And now she would die.
I unsheathed my sword taking it into both my hands, my grip was tight around the handle of the greatsword. The jewel in the shaft glinting against a now rising sun.
What a beautiful morning to send somebody to hell.
She was close enough now.
I ignored all the others that were around me, capes and Servants.
"O' Sword let the be filled!" At my words, a construct of True Ether appeared around my sword. And then I activated Sting I felt the nature of my attack change along with a large drain of reserves. "BALMUNG!" I unleashed the Noble Phantasm directly at the Simurgh, and my entire vision was consumed in blue light.
As I cleared two halves of the Endringer fell into in the ocean, it's core having been destroyed.
"Simurgh dead."
"Fucking said I would do it," I said as I faltered a little bit after having exerted myself a little too much.
"Warning Wave incoming! Leviathan has been detected!" Came the voice of dragon from the armband.
Oh, what the fuck! I mentally yelled as I saw the rising tsunami.
It was now early morning, but the moon was still out.
Fucking winter I hate, why you be so cold towards me. But at least now it didn't bother me anymore. Servant constitution for the win.
