5 Chapter 5

Guttural roars filled the battlefield as Thanatos hunted them down. Makoto had his blade out, his most trusted sword, Lucifer's blade. Its gold and feathered hilt brushed against his hand. Its power and sharpness were laid bare for all to see the might of Lucifer in a blade.

Jeanne arrived with Sieg just in time as both sides charged at Saviour. Jeanne watched as Makoto parried each strike before striking them back. Makoto didn't have enough time to switch between personas to enable null physical. He was blown into the trees as the two factions started fighting each other.

Makoto coughed up blood as he examined himself. Jeanne watched as Saviour picked himself up as he pointed the gun to his head. Panic was in her eyes as she watched him commit suicide?

However what came out wasn't blood and gore, it was blue shards of glass?

"Persona!"

"Messiah, Salvation!"

Jeanne watched in awe as Saviour seemingly summoned the son of god. His holy light spread across Makoto's body as his wounds and stamina completely healed. All the kept fighting while Makoto slowly walked back with all his wounds healed and his stamina back. Makoto had enough he was tired of fighting, why couldn't they just solve this peacefully?

"Enough!" They watched as the boy came back and shouted for them to stop. However they kept fighting. Makoto had a grim look.

He placed his gun to his head once again, "It seems only power will get them to calm down."

"Messiah!"

Everyone stopped at this point a huge powerful presence arrived as they heard Saviour shout Messiah.

"I am Thou, Thou art I"

"I am he who judges the unjust and I am he who delivers judgment."

"I arrive before judgment day to save the virtuous, I am the son of God."

"Messiah!"

Everyone watched as Makoto looked at them "Unless you want both sides to be injured then I suggest you all back off."

Lancer sneered at him what can you do?

Makoto pulled the trigger once again "Artemis!"

"Absolute Zero!"

Atalanta gasped as she saw Artemis form. With a wave of her hand ice trapped every servant there. "Persona change!"

"Thanatos!"

The guttering roar of death was heard once again as he calmed death down. Thanatos looked at Makoto and understood.

"Door of Hades"

A huge stone door appeared as the very sight of it brought everyone to fear being sent to that place. Makoto sighed as he decided to heal him, he didn't like killing and would prefer not to. He placed the gun to his head once again as he let out the flood of power. "Messiah!"

"Salvation"

Every servant felt their wounds and stamina heal and return. They looked in wonder and confusion until Atalanta asked what they were all thinking "Why would you heal us?" Makoto stared at her "I don't have the ability to condemn anyone to death nor do I judge. I only accept people for who they are, but I won't judge and condemn them to death as I don't have that right."

Makoto sighed until he found a stake stuck straight into his heart. Atalanta looked at the perpetrator so did every other servant in the vicinity. It was a disgusting kill, to kill an enemy who had spared and turned their back to you. It was lancer, Vlad III. Makoto looked back before falling down as be bleed out.

However what they didn't expect was Death coming back into reality. Makoto had long faded away however Death guarded its possessions closely and even more closely was a friend a person who could understand him. Death let out a guttural howl as everyone was shaken.

Death slammed one of its coffins down onto the floor as the coffin slowly opened to reveal Saviour. Everyone had dropped jaws while Shirou Kotomine watched in interest. Thanatos swung his sword as it broke another stake from piercing Makoto.

Makoto stepped out as he dusted his clothes off "Huh that's something I can brag about. Not every time that you get killed by a stake."

Death roared at them again, the message was clear. "Do any thing else and you die." Berserker of red who was now with black was at an abnormal size. Ruler was fighting the Berserker, everyone knew that fighting berserker would be hard until Makoto clicked his tongue. He had to destroy Berserker completely in order to prevent any casualties.

"Thanatos!"

"Megidolaon!"

They watched as the amount of energy in the tiny ball completely wiped Berserker out of existence. Makoto sighed as he regretted that he had no choice in wiping Berserker out. Ruler came up next to him while thanking him. Sieg simply followed like a lost puppy. After the show of power no one wanted to mess with Saviour.

Lancer asked him "Who are you to wield such power?" Makoto smiled as he had people to share his story with.

"Let me tell you a story about a boy, a fool who had journeyed towards his final battle against the goddess of Night, Nyx. He was emotionless after losing his parents in a car crash, he became apathetic, he did not care about his life, if he died he died. But he changed, know why?"

None of the servants answered s they didn't know.

"Friends, he found a group of people who also had the same ability as him. They understood him as they became friends, his shell eventually slowly broke overtime as his bonds and links grew stronger. As the bonds and links grew stronger his power grew stronger."

Silence filled as they were enamoured in his story as it was much more different than a normal

"The time came when he discovered his best friend was death itself and the avatar of Nyx who would bring the fall. His friend as a sign of friendship offered him two choices. One was to kill him and forget and live happily until the fall. The other was to struggle and fight against the impossible."

"The boy chose not to despite his friend showing his true form. The god of death. The harbinger of the fall. He and his friends climbed up to the top of the tower were he faced Nyx Avatar, his friend Ryoji. They struggled and struggled, each time they were closer to defeating Nyx Avatar. Sadly they were too late as the moon's surface crumbled away to reveal the fall. The rules of reality were being bent, Nyx was a being that not even the counter force nor Gaia could handle, Her pseudo reality marble overwrote the laws of reality as gravity was made so that no one could stand up."

Makoto took a deep breath as the horrific scenes flashed through his head. His breathing wavered.

"The boy looked at the sickly green sky that belonged to the dark hour, his friends were being attacked while they were down. It was at this point that the boy managed to stand up through pure will power. He awakened his ultimate persona, Messiah. Little did he now that his ultimate persona was symbolic of his fated ending. He ascended into the moon to face off with Nyx."

"The boy was bombarded by attacks of pure death, attacks that were death itself, any living being would have been dead from even touching it. Yet the boys bonds kept him safe, he heard the voices of his friends, his bonds that he had gathered on his journey."

Every single servant listened to Saviour's legend, or rather story of his life. Chiron was listening particularly to see how Nyx was handled.

"Together the voices and power were small, however the boy achieved something no other fool will or ever do. Together the voices gave him one last power, the power of the universe itself. The universe itself was it the grasp of the boy's palm. He learned the truth the moment he ascended, Nyx was never malevolent or evil, the only thing malevolent was Erebus, Humanity's wishes to die."

Everyone could tell the story was near completion.

"The boy decided to use the power of the universe, the ability to turn the impossible into possible. The ultimate beginning and the ultimate end. He created the great seal to prevent Erebus from getting to Nyx for the rest of eternity. However the cost was a soul, a soul strong enough and the only one was me with the Universe Arcana."

"That is my story and my ultimate Noble Phantasm, The Universe."

A shining card appeared twirling in Makoto's hand, The Universe Arcana.

"You might be asking why I'm telling you this?"

All the servants awaited his answer.

"I simply wanted to share my story with you, its been so long and I've had no one to talk to since being sealed together with Nyx."

"Plus I'm hoping that you'll just give up."

A voice resounded through the air from the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

"We can't give up Saviour."
