Yeah, one character reached about all they can do and I accidentally left a blank spot on the list last time. 'Course I realize that the amount of people would now add up to eight but eh, whatever. It's double or nothing.

One of the characters was gonna be removed anyways so... not double or nothing.
Can the person who won number 17 tell me what was found? And any suggestions towards something similar for number 16 is appreciated due to it not reaching crossover criteria but still reaching a high enough number for something to happen.

What do you do when you just got word that shit was about to go down? The normal, sane response was to either A) Run the fuck away or B) RUN THE FUCK AWAY.
But then this is bastardized Gamindustri and we're stuck dealing with C) Figuring out how to deal with the fallout of shit going down.
Heh, fallout. This place is certainly no wasteland-
My breath drew short as I remembered the outside world.
"Hey, are you listening?" Fu asked, "You're going with Hibiki to check the west side of the school."
"Yeah yeah I know." I waved, sighing. "Bad thought just came to mind that's all. Remembering yesterday you know?"
Everyone winced as the shit storm that was Nanoha's Pentarting Pink Thing came back to mind before the Hero Club girls gave me a look of sympathy.
And that's when an explosion of pink flashed across the window.w
"What are you doing?! Move!" Our blonde leader shouted as we all scrambled to get on our feet.
NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"Hey Hibiki."
"Yes?"
"I'm not the only one seeing this right?"
The army of elementary schoolers rushed past us through the hallway as we kept the door to the classroom shut. Some of them banged on the door but some gracious amount of swearing, middle fingers, and any and all forms of nonverbal threats kept the little fucks from coming in here.
No matter how many of them had superpowers.
"It's... Not a first really." Hibiki admitted, taking a seat on one of the desks. "Though we can't get out of here until they pass."
"You know how the others are holding up?" I slouched back against the wall. "My phones a bit... weird."
My eyes glanced down at the screen where a blue gear kept spinning over and over and over and-
Goddammit this phone was basically defective why do I have this piece of crap?
"Hm, give me a second..." In a flash the peach hair girl pulled her own phone out before her thumbs turned into a blur. "Uh-m... Fu and Itsuki found the leader of these kids. Somebody called... Miyu?"
"Does she have Black Hair?"
"...According to Fu yes." Hibiki blinked, "Do you know her?"
"Remember the girls from when we first met?" My foot kicked the door as another kid started pressing against it. "One of them might be her. Knowing my luck, it is."
"Ehehe... Yeah, it probably is." Much to my surprise the usual energy she seemed to expel in waves vanished as a long sigh left her lips. "This place... There's no such thing as coincidence in this place. If you meet someone once, it's almost a guarantee you'll see them again no matter what you do."
"Speaking from experience?"
"You could say."
The room descended into a heavy silence, neither of us saying a word as the sound of chaos filled our thoughts. The atmosphere was broken, however, by my phone deciding to start working by the sound of an incoming call.
"Hey Chen, you there?" A familiar voice asked the moment I picked up the call, "Oh who am I kidding, this is definitely you."
"...Issei?" How did he even- "How did you get this number? Hell, I don't even know this number."
"Long story. Listen, how much do you remember of yesterday?"
"A bit too much then I'd like but if you're asking if I can remember yesterday then yes. Yes I can."
"No like- Look have you heard of the Shinju?"
"Probably not in the context you know it." I rattled my brain trying to remember all the details. "It's... a collection of gods right? And they saved humanity by trapping them in a barrier?"
"It's a bit of mix and match." There was some muffled voices on the other side of the phone before he continued. "Apparently it's the 'Birthplace of Gods' or some such. All I know is that the four goddesses of Gamindustri were given power by it before they vanished into the land. Also, you're connected to it."
"...What?"
"Hold on a second."
I had to draw the phone away from my ear as a rough static emitted before a smooth voice picked up a second where Issei left off. "Hello again."
My body froze.
"You've been... quite interesting." The voice was female, as far as I can tell. "Not as interesting as you could be but then again that might not be your fault. Or is it? I honestly can't tell."
"Who... Who are you?" I struggled to hold the phone in my hand as it started shaking.
"Ah yes, you couldn't hear me past your madness could you?" Mad...ness? "I suppose you only remember that one bit. Allow me to introduce myself again."
Sweat dripped down my back as it felt like the room started growing colder.
"My name... Is Homura Akemi, the Demi-Fiend." I couldn't say a word as the sound of her laughter played into my ear. "Now, I'm sure you want a way out don't you? Don't worry, I already gave you a little gift."
"Why with a little bit of the Shinju of your own."
"What did you do to me?"
"Oh it's simple really." She chuckled. Stop laughing. "I transplanted a piece of the Shinju into your heart. I believe they're called... CPU Memories?"
"...Okay, pause." CALM DOWN CALM DOWN CALM DOWN. "How does that work? Am I like, a CPU now or?"
"Of course not, we could never over power you that far." I could feel her smirk on the other end of the phone. "Besides, I don't think you'd like what that comes with. No, you're a CPU Candidate. Same as everybody else in the... Hero Club. Of course you're going to need some Sharecite, but that's what I gave you this phone for."
"...Why?"
It was the most simple question I could've asked, but also the most profound.
"Because I want you to destroy the world." She... She said it so flippantly like she didn't even care! "We can talk later. Now, I believe you need help? I can give you invincibility for a time."
"Dare I ask?" So many questions, and she had all the answers. "Is there a catch?"
"Well, not really. All I have to do is..."
THIS Connection Lost. Finding Closest Signal...
What did she do?!
She used her authority... dammit! I'm going in there to fix this!
Oi oi! What do we do in the meantime?!
Swap to the nearest signal!
Alright... but you better not mess with anything!
The school, in itself, was a war zone at the moment.
You chucklefucks ever wonder of the chaos you're doing? No, of course not. That's the goddamn point.
But what can I say? I've been separated from my master and could only relax on the roof as the chaos unfolded below me. Demons, superpowered kids, and a bunch of mechs were fucking everywhere.
Also Rin was somewhere on campus.
"Hey, buddy. Long time no see, how've you been? I was just wondering, 'cause y'know. All these shenanigans. But not that it matters, since you never call!"
I blinked before turning around only to come face to face with the angry blue eyes of one, Sayaka Miki.
Wait wait wait hold on. I thought these things only happen to Chen what is this bullshit.
"Darkness follows me." Uh let's see, I just learned this joke... "I follow him too but he doesn't post much. Also, who are you and why would I need to call you. If you're mistaking me for Chen, he's inside. Throw the affection at him."
"First, you stood me up! Now you're throwing me at some poser who looks like you?! What a friend you are. You know what? Just guess. I ain't telling you shit since you have been such a jerk to me."
"So if I say you're my ex-girlfriend who I used to be all lovey dovey with you will neither confirm nor deny it?"
"H-H-How f-forward of you! Our relationship never went that far anyways. Hell, you didn't even have a chance in the first place. But seriously though, why do I look like this, and you're still you, For the most part. Nice gloves, bruh."
I looked at my hands. Yes, they had black fingerless gloves on but I... have no defense.
"Fuck off." I waved ever so elegantly, "And what do you mean by 'looking like this'? Unless, you know, you aren't Sayaka Miki."
"Pshaw. As if. I don't recalled being suicidal Hero of Justice wannabe. So, since for some reason I'm like this, and I don't know why. And since you're here, I'm just gonna assume that this is somehow your fault, one way or another. Goddamned Anime Protagonist wannabe."
"Hey hey hey! This is a quest! Not all of us are talented enough to write a series." Then again, for a certain definition of talent. "Also, mind giving it a name? I'll know if it's my fault since you're not Sayaka."
"How about this? The Holy Grail War."
"Grue's fault then. He rolled a 100 on the dice and decided to summon me in the Holy Grail War."
"Ah, that's explained everything. Y'know, you coulda just say 'no', and we wouldn't be in this situation. Actually, you know what? I'm just gonna pay him back later. But anyways, since your Anime Protagonist brain hasn't even figured it out yet. I'm gonna give you a hint. Come in closer." The fake Sayaka quickly did a 'come closer' gesture. Cautiously, I leaned my head closer to her mouth.
"Pepe sends his regards." I blinked as her hand whacked me upside the head.
And at that moment I decked her in the face.
"Ouch, not my pretty, sparkly face."
"What sparkle? There's no-" And at that moment it clicked. "...Bondo? That you?"
"Took ya long enough. That's right. It is I, your best bud, Bondo. Now be a pal, and end all these shenanigans. I can't stand being a magical girl, some jackass out there is going to roll a 100 on something that will screw me over. I just know it. So please. Save meeee! Caster!"
"We're going to need some Sharecite, my powers got heavily nerfed when I was summoned." Right, let me take a look at the list again... "At best I can reroll the dice if it ever affects us. Get me some Sharecite and I can cancel it entirely. I'm not really privy on the details to the Holy Grail War but you probably have some abilities as well."
"I see. I see. Here is what we gonna do…." She whispered something in my ear. "...And that's the plan."
"...You literally said giberi-"
"A-a-ah~"
"Alright fine." I sighed before popping my neck. "Well, you think it's about time we get in the battle ground and introduce ourselves formally to the audience?"
"Oh yeah, that. Now just do exactly what I said and everything be fine, bud."
"Yeah yeah." Righty oh! "Okay listen up all you reading this on the screen. It's about time the Holy Grail War started up proper. Now, listen here as I introduce myself officially as we have a little twist here."
SERVANT CASTER - CPU
Servant Saber - This is fucking embarrassing why
"...Dammit Bondo you fucked up your introduction. We had a moment and you just ruined it."
"...This is all your fault. Take responsibility for this shitshow."
"It's Grue's fault! Grue's!"
"But he isn't the one writing this quest now, is he?!"
"Well I'm not writing it either. I'm just the concept of Counter Guardian Haze made manifest. Look- This is all metaphysical and I don't really have time to explain it."
"Let's just go beat Chen like a pinata. Maybe some answers will fall out of him."
"At the very least, it'll make us feel better."
YEAH OKAY THAT'S ENOUGH Connection Found
Alright okay... I got the- WAIT NO STOP!
[] Things got worse
AN: All things considered. Caster acts chunni, though he deserves the chunni when you're basically a literal god.
By that universe's definition of God anyways.
Tougo can't run Chen over with a bike. She's a cripple in a wheelchair.
Kyouya founds Chaldrea to defend humanity. Haha, good fucking luck.
Rin exists.
Precia finds... something. Something metal.
Arisa deploys her autoscorers. The fucks are everywhere now.
Issei asks the devil in his cafe what's going on.
Nanako sets fire to things. Very hot fire.
Nisa and not!Nudist Beach fight off invading creatures from the deepest hell imaginable. Oh, and Demons I guess.
Can Devil's get possessed? I don't fucking know...
Rias attempts to canonize her ships. Nerd.
Miyu, not being able to find stand users and vampires, settles on the worst evil imaginable. Kids with super powers as she leads them in a fucking mech.
[x] You suddenly feel really evil and want to cause troubles around town. Might as well start with an easy mark. Find Saber and give her a husky. It's basically the worst thing you can do to her.
[X] Gains the ability to exchange bodies with first person they see every hour. Everyone swapped with will gain a single use of the same ability on the third person they look at.. No off switch.

[X] After so much time and effort, you have done it! Today, you shall manifest your Persona! You can't wait to show off this thing to every- Wait, what the fuck is that, no, you didn't want that literally anything would be better than Mara
On our side of the fourth wall? You forced me to come up with servants for the Holy Grail War, Bondo used a Sayaka avatar on Discord, you see where this led.
On their side? Emergency measures.
And before you ask, yes, the Servant Berserker from last round is also an SVer. Assassin is a maybe. Archer and Rider? Fuck if I know.
[X] Realize there's something wrong as the memories of an alternate timeline take over. Yes. Thats right....You were TehChron, Weren't you? Time to do what you do best.
