As I looked upon my Servant, and analyzed her armor, her weapon and despite the power of her helmet, recognizing her was all too easy. She was…
[] The Knight of Treachery, Morded, the Knight who managed to deliver a fatal wound to her father, Arturia Pendragon, a feat I hadn't seen be replicated by any Servant within the Throne of Heroes. A Servant who did everything in her power to win, abandoning the core of a knight, willing to throw even her own sword away if it meant defeating her opponent. Someone who wouldn't accept defeat, and would rise time and time again until she grasped her goal.
[] Mordred, Knight of Londinium. The illegitimate child of King Arthur, or rather Arturia Pendragon, and Morgan le Fay, whom despite all her skill in battle wasn't acknowledged as someone fit for kingship by her own father. And so, in anger, she attempted a coup when her father was away, but in the same move she showed that she could take advantage of an opportune moment, beginning her rebellion when the country itself was discontent with Arthuria.
Honestly, the Moon Cell chose quite a fitting Servant for me. Although nowhere near perfect, she was still a serviceable Servant, considering the possible alternatives.
"I ask you, are you my Master?" Mordred asks once more, her sword striking the ground as she lays both of her hands on top of the Clarent's pommel.
[] "Yes. I welcome you to the Moon Cell's Grail War, Knight of Londinium."
[] "I will do my best to make sure that we win this war… Mordred, or would you prefer to be called Saber?"
She flinches at my answer, momentarily touching her helmet to make sure that yes, it was still on. "How do you know my identity!" She asks- no, demands me to give her an answer. I see how she shifted her grip on her sword, her right arm moving from the pommel to the grip as she points at me with her left.Mordred: How could he possibly have ignored my helmet's power?
I rise up from the floor, and answer her…
[] "How could I not recognize the famous Knight who managed to inflict a fatal wound onto the legendary King of Knights." I answer with short bow. Just take a few pages out of how Tokiomi handled Gilgamesh, show the right amount of reverence, and praise, and even the most egoistical of Servants wouldn't act out. So what if Twice was watching, the guy had probably already faced Mordred, or seen her, so trying to hide it from him was practically useless.
[] "All in good time Saber. But I'd rather not reveal it here. After all, who knows if someone is watching." While the possibility of any opposing Masters being able to spy on these preliminaries was low, who knows whether or not Twice was watching. And in all honesty, I'd rather keep my information as a secret from the ghost.
It seems like Mordred accepted my answer, as Clarent's blade remains pointed down at the ground, away from me.
"And if I'm it's any consolation, I'm far more glad that it was you who was summoned instead of your father." I add, a small earnest smile tugging at the corners of my mouth.
[] Her Helm of Hidden Infidelity would do well in hiding her identity from other Masters, and in this tournament, the less information your opponents had on your Servant, the less prepared they would be when the tournament came.
[] Not only was her Battle Continuation Ranked B, but her Helm of Hidden Infidelity would serve in limiting the information m-no, our opponents could obtain on her. But, that didn't mean that I should have her be walking about in plain sight.
Even with her armor, Mordred's posture is more than telling of the smirk on her face, even if it is covered by her helmet. I can almost visualize it.
[Servant: Mordred_C:Sbr has been partnered with Master: Alby_Ó_Catháin. Adding Command Seals...]
[] I winced as a jolt of pain shot through my arm, as if multiple, burning barbs were being driven into it, all at the same time. Fuckfuckfuckfuck, that hurt!
[] I bit my lower lip as the Command Seals formed. I refused to show such weakness in front of my Servant. FUuuUUCK! That stung like hell. Also, fun note, apparently, the Moon Cell didn't use SAO's stupid way of showing damage, as evident by the coppery taste on my lips. I promptly spit out the blood from my mouth, onto the stained glass.
"Well, that hurt way less than I imagined." I turn to address Mordred."So, how should I address you? I can't exactly refer to you by your title, as those are just as likely to reveal your identity." I ask my Servant, who puts her hand to her chin, Clarent fading away.
"Hmm… Saber or Red will do Mas-" She pauses as she looks down at my hands. "Master, where are your Command Seals?"
[] "Right here" I draw back my right jacket sleeve, revealing my Command Seals.
[] I respond by drawing back my right sleeve, revealing my Command Seals, thinking about how I can use my Command Seal-free hands to my advantage.
Mordred nods, before looking around us. "Um, Master? How do we get out of here? Should we try fighting our way out" she asks, lifting her sword.
[] I scratch my head. "The Moon Cell's probably going to transport us out of here, or something. But probably not before some kind of "grand speech"."
[] "Just give it a moment. The AI's probably going to give some "grandiose speech" before letting us out." I say, a bit antsy. Shouldn't the system have given some kind of explanation on Command Seals the moment I got them, or did the system only make those who knew nothing go through the tutorial.
@I'll have you know, if I had my way, the necessary information would be given once the Master and Servant exit this test arena.@
Speak of the devil, and his Grand Priest shall appear.
[] I turned my head towards the skies, where the voice of the AI!Kirei had come from. "Oh, so now you speak." To be honest, even though I knew that this wasn't the real Kotomine Kirei, I still didn't trust it. The Game had shown that the AI could make changes to the Arenas whenever it "felt bored", so the possibility of this world's Kirei taking over the AI component was quite high. Hell, maybe Kirei had already taken over the AI, but he was content on entertaining himself with watching Masters killing one another.
[] "So, you're supposed the be the Overseer AI. Kinda crappy for a tutorial AI, not even explaining Command Seals when new Masters obtain them." I directed all the snark I could muster at AI!Kirei as I said those words.
@Oh? And here I thought that a Master as skilled as you wouldn't need a "tutorial AI". How foolish of me, allow me to fix that.@
Wow, I think I understand a small amount of Rin's hate for Kirei's voice now. The guy really knows how to make his very tone feel like it's insulting you and everything you care about.
Wow, I think this is the fastest a digital entity has managed to earn my sheer spite. Well, discounting Cynthia from Awakening. Seriously, did all of Sumia's stupidity go to her? Fuck that numpty of a girl! Anyway, back onto Kirei, as I ignore his speech, which I recognize to be a part of the in-game one he gives to Hakuno/Hakunon. Anyway, I'll ignore his little speech, as it's just the canon stuff I already know.
From what I remember of him, he is supposed to be an AI based on a previous participant, I.E, the original Kirei Kotomine of this world. Obviously with Twice waiting on the road to the Moon Cell's Holy Grail, Kirei, or the winner of his tournament didn't succeed in attaining their wish. So, he got eliminated, and the Grail decided to use him as an overseer for this iteration of the tournament.
That meant that it was quite likely that the other Masters from Fate/Zero were also participants recorded in the Moon Cell's archives. Now, it was also quite likely that due to butterfly effects, some of them didn't exist in this timeline, and this all depended on how recent Kirei's tournament was, but…
[] If Kayneth had been a participant, hell, if anyone with a particularly strong or useful Mystic Code or Magecraft had been a participant, then I could try accessing the archives, probably from the library, and try generating them into existence, and despite how much I hoped, those items would generate in either the Arena, where anyone could stumble upon it, or into the store, and god knows how much those costed.
[] If Kiritsugu still existed in this timeline, and his Origin Bullets were in the archives, then I could try accessing the Code Cast version of them, if those even existed. And with those, even the strongest of Magi would be easy to deal with, especially Archer if he appeared in this timeline. And hell, even if Kiritsugu's Origin Bullets didn't exist, I could try finding something that would work. Hell, I'd be satisfied with an Azoth Sword, or Bazett's Fragarach.
Now, accessing the Moon Cell's archives might've sounded dangerous, but considering how even that moron Gatou had been able to make himself a custom avatar, and how Julius had been able to hack into participant profiles, which were supposed to remain secret, I figure I'd be able to at least piggy-back onto someone's hacking, and access some of the data the Moon Cell had amassed.
"Grr…WOULD GET ON WITH IT, YOU POOR EXCUSE OF A PRIEST!" Careful Mordred, your Berserker is showing. Mordred is pointing Clarent towards the skies, her right arm holding the sword meant to be held with both arms up with no sign of it being a burden.
@You have quite the mouthy Servant for a Saber Class. It's a small wonder that someone like you entered the same Class as the King of Knights.@ Oh wow, he just had to go there… Oh shit, he pulled at Mordred's trigger.
I turn to look at her helme-nope, she has withdrawn her helmet, and the expression on her face is one of sheer murderous intent.
"Clarent Blood Arthur…" As Mordred uttered those words, I felt pain racing all across my nerves, like someone stabbed 25 red-hot iron bars throughout my body, and then poured gasoline onto them! I-Is this what Kariya felt like whenever the Crest Worms got agitated? No wonder he was going insane as the war drew to a close.
I collapse onto all fours as a red aura of sheer hate, and malice engulfed her sword. I can feel my strength fading away as the red aura around her sword grows.
[] I-I need to stop her before she drains all the energy from my body. -"MORDRED! STOP!"-
[] Damn you to the lowest pit of hell, Kirei Kotomine, along with all other versions of you! -"MORDERD! IS THIS HOW A KING SHOULD ACT TO INSULTS FROM A PETTY PRIEST?!"-
It seems like Mordred managed to hear me, even in her enraged state, as she lowers her sword and turns towards me, the pain, which I assume to be Prana, or was it, Od? Anyway, magical energy being drained from my Magic Circuits, fades away. Also, how the fuck do I have Magic Circuits- no, that's something to look into later, focus Alby! You have shit to do.
"Saber, that man takes delight in the suffering of others." I hoarsely state, doing my best to get up, only to fall back onto my knee. I look Mordred straight in the eye, trying my best not to fall back down.
"So, are you just a pathetic little girl who lets mere words enrage them to this point." I shakily get back onto my two feet. Now just to hammer in the point. "Or are you the knight who's worthy of succeeding King Arthur, the fucking Once and Future King? Huh! What's it gonna be, MORDRED!?" I shout, jabbing my ginger forward as I point at her, my chest heaving.
Holy shit, doing anime inspirational speeches where you were practically on your last legs was no joke.
[] Seriously Mordred, don't make do this again, it's embarrassing, not to mention taxing. Seriously, props to Kamina, and every other anime character who manages to pull off speeches on demand, even on fucking death's door.
[] I seriously fucking hope that I don't have to do this again. At least this time it wasn't in front of a lot of people. Also, whoo boy, that'd be the fatigue setting in. I manage to stop myself from falling, albeit barely.
Mordred's helmet pieces slid back into place, and her Clarent Blood Arthur deactivates, the last bits of the burning red energy fade away.
@Well that was, I believe the current generation calls it, "anticlimactic"?@
[] "YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" I shout, pointing at where that condescending bastard priest's voice came from
[] "…" I, I'm honestly done with your shit, Kirei. You give people who enjoy Schadenfreude a bad name, and so, I flip thee twice.
@Well that was rather uncouth, but I suppose if the Servant fits...@
Oh god no, he's enjoying this. Fuck off, you shitty priest!
@But alas, as much as I have enjoyed our little talk, there are other matters that I need to address, so feel free to show yourself and your Servant out.@
And with those words, a large, double door appeared at the edge of the arena.
[] I sighed in relief at the appearance of the door. As soon as I got to my assigned room, I'd look into the fact that I have fucking Magic Circuits. I mean, could that mean that I could make my own Familiar to fight against other Masters?
[] You know what Kirei? You're still a piece of shit, but thanks for the door. But I swear to fucking god, if that turns out to be a prank, I will fucking murder your ass on the final week, just before the match.
And it seems like Mordred also shared in my desire to leave, as she turned to face me. "Well Master, shall we go?" she asked, and I notice that her tone is, dare I say, less confident than before? The cockiness is still there, but now a bit subdued.
[] I nod as I took a few shaky steps, still enough energy in me to avoid kissing the ground. As I make my way towards the door, Mordred right beside me, I address her.
-"Mordred, know this, that man is an expert at psychological warfare, and he is the one in charge of this war, so him making that insult was matter of when, not a matter of if. Be glad that it wasn't in a situation where you could have actually attempted to attack him."- I didn't want to even imagine how the Moon Cell would've reacted to Mordred attacking the Overseer of the war.
-"This is a game to that man. If you give in, then he wins."- I took no shame in quoting TeamFourStar, if it meant that Mordred wouldn't fall for similar insults in the case that her identity became known to my opponent.
Of course, I knew that simply telling her not to respond to insults, she was too passion-driven to follow orders like that, so the best option was to make it a matter of pride to her.
[] –"Master I-"- I interrupt Mordred before she can finish.
-"Listen to me Mordred, while yes, you over-reacted, the blame doesn't solely rest upon your shoulders."- 40% is on you, while 50% is on Kirei's, and the rest is on me. I should have foreseen the shitty priest making that insult sooner or later. Thankfully, that little episode revealed a few important factors, both about myself and my Servant.
-"…Thank you Master."-
-"Don't mention it."- I earnestly reply to Mordred.
As Mordred and I go through the door, we come out of the very same dead end that I had entered through, but now, everything had that blue tint I was familiar from the game, and awaiting us there was.
[] "Are you hurt?" Who else but Sakura Matou in a doctor's jacket. MEDI~C!
[] Sakura Matou and Tige-Is that a tiger-striped Shinai?
So, how was the chapter?
