3 Chapter 3

"I'm Makoto Yuki, class saviour."

Atalanta simply looked at him while Achilles chuckled. "Saviour huh? How come I haven't heard of you?" Makoto responded "Because what I did, I did in silence without telling anyone else that wasn't involved."

Achilled nodded "Noble indeed." Atalanta disliked most men however the one in front of her gave a feeling that you could tell him all his secrets and he would simply listen and understand. "So you here to fight us or judge us saviour?" Makoto shook his head.

"I don't judge, I merely accept."

A large explosion brought Makoto to his senses as the berserker had somehow snuck away during the conversation and ran off. His sense immediately told him that the enemy servants have noticed the servants of red.

Soon the two servants appeared as Siegfried and Frankenstein appeared. Berserker simply looked at Makoto before preparing her weapon. Makoto sighed "When will you guys learn? Maybe I should give you guys a bit of a scare." Achille watched in interest as Makoto pulled out a gun, Atalanta scoffed as she watched him place the barrel to his head.

Achilles had a chill down his spine has he had never seen someone so calm when death was next to them. However Makoto wasn't scared of death, death was a friend who had been with him for ten years.

Shifting Thanatos back to the front of his mind, all the servants could feel it. The Aura of death leaked out from Makoto as Thanatos was roaring to go. The only thing stopping him from entering the fabric of reality was Makoto's barrier.

A sadistic grin spread across Makoto's face as he pulled the trigger. The recoil was there however what came out was blue glass instead.

"Come Thanatos!"

Achilles and Atalanta flinched at the name as the glass shards disappeared as the space shattered as a hand pulled through. Slowly the white gloved hand ripped apart the fabric of space one by one to get to Makoto. Achilles and Atalanta looked at Makoto with shock, who was he? To summon the god of death what was even more surprising was when Makoto put his hand on Thanatos.

"All this time, Ryuji. You've still been with me all this time." Thanatos let out a gentle growl while looking at the servants while guarding Makoto like a demented guard dog. The raspy breaths and gurgle of the throat presented the feeling of death to all those who looked at his hollow eyes.

Makoto looked at the Saber and Berserker of Black. "Right I'd prefer to resolve things peacefully but if you wish, Thanatos is here to accompany you to the afterlife."

Atalanta was shivering the moment Thanatos gazed at her.

Chiron felt the presence of death from the forest. It was so heavy that everything living simply wanted to flee from the presence. "Come on, I'm giving you a chance to retreat as I have some business with the servants of red." Saber simply nodded to Frankenstein as they retreated back to the fortress while Makoto turned towards Atalanta and Achilles who had their weapons pointed at him.

"What?" He questioned why they had weapons pointed at him. "Who are you to summon the god of death to do your bidding?" Makoto simply replied "I'm a heroic spirit who's simply a wildcard in this war. Now bring me to your base of operations."

Makoto walked by a burger restaurant and his belly grumbled while Achilles and Atalanta looked and thought "Is he serious?" Makoto simply looked at them "Do you wish to join me?" Achilles sighed as he might be able to talk some answers out of Saviour. "Very well"

Atalanta was currently looking in shock and jealousy, Achilles was simply amused. Makoto unwrapped another burger as he had started the Burger Murder challenge. Finish off 30 burgers within an hour and you don't have to pay.

Achilles started the conversation first "So since you are not part of the war directly mind telling us your legend?" Makoto unwrapped another burger. "Sure, It's not like you'll believe me though."

Atalanta listened as she eventually became immersed in his story. Oh the poor fool in front of her didn't even realise that his whole team was basically using Third True Magic. Him especially. "So at the end, I had to face off with Nyx. To prevent the fall I had to use the great seal which I will not be telling anymore details about my power. The price was a soul, my soul."

Atalanta snapped out of it as she listened his journey to death itself. She looked at the pile of burger wrappers.

Burger wrappers.

Wrappers...

Wait...

"YOU FINISHED IT ALL ALREADY?!"

It had only been 40 minutes since they started and he was already finished. "Well let's get going as I need to announce something to all servants of Red."

They walked slowly back until Atalanta asked a slightly personal question. "Do you regret it? Your choice?" Makoto gave a sad smile as he replied "No, I didn't have a choice." Atalanta asked in anger "So they asked you to sacrifice yourself?" Makoto shook his head "No sometimes when we are given a choice, it's not really a choice." Achilles and Atalanta listened closely as he was more wise than any of them.

"How could I say no? One life to prevent the death of a whole world of lives. Plus I had people precious to me living in so called world. I simply took the best choice of action." They stayed silent after that.

Makoto silently walked back with neither asking more questions.
