Chapter 15: Corruption

(POV Angra Mainyu)

He had planned everything, though not completely, a good percentage of Gilgamesh had been tainted.

That girl from the Matou, it was going to be a good method to bring him into the world.

...But that bastard who wore a strange mask had to mess with his plans, he ended up with the plan involving the Matou but he still had a backup

Corruption

One of his special abilities

He would make them fear him

All Servants would become Alters or Shadow.

- Jijijijijijjijjijjijji - (More like the laughs of those black bugs in the Grand Order Babylon anime)

A disgusted laugh came out of Angra as he thought of the situation the puny Masters would fall into when he took his Servants.

They would be no better than a fish on a board waiting to be cut up

And he would be the butcher cutting them with his sharp knife!

He had already obtained the True Assassin, turned Lancer into an alter and Rider into a Shadow Servant.

Only the 3 Archers, Berserker and Saber were left.

He didn't care much about Caster after all, she had already been defeated by True Assassin.

If there was one thing he regretted it was that, for the time being, he wouldn't be able to revel in her terrified expressions at the sight of the new appearance of the Hound of Ulster.

It was certainly unfortunate

************************

(POV Tom)

Tom and Berserker fought with Gilgamesh as he tried to keep up with his punches and EMIYA's projectiles.

Increasing the concentration of Hollow Hollow energy, Tom pushed himself towards an unsuspecting Gilgamesh.

*Clank

He managed to break much of his armor and slam Goldie to the ground where an EMIYA arrow hit her legs.

The Golden Archer looked at both of them with immense hatred as he barely dodged Berserker's monstrous blows.

Illya who saw everything felt like making fun of him but she knew that at times like these if she did something like this it would end very badly for her.

[Tom get ready, something's not quite right.]

Tom didn't know what to say for a moment

- 'My luck Parker combined with Emiya's, resulted in Kamijou Touma's luck!' - Now Tom really felt like crying

[...The time wasn't long but you were a great host Tom].

- 'She gave up already!' - He really had to start resting more literally his hair was turning white to the point where it looks like Sasaki Haise's - 'What or who is Sakura approaching? It's not people disguised as animals right?' - putting aside any stupidity he decided he would ask and try to prepare himself as best as possible

[Am I telling you the truth or are we still friends... It's Angra Mainyu, While in this AU he didn't have a very important role the plot break causes many changes].

- 'What kind of changes?' - This didn't look good at all.

[You practically started a Sub-version of what would be the Heaven's fell route].

- 'So Sakura and Saber are going to...?' -'

[Sakura is safe, remember you devoured her maggots, impurities and the remains of the Grail which would turn her into the Black Grail]

- 'So this will be easier than the original route?' - It never hurt to have some hope

[I'm not really sure, sometimes yes and sometimes no]

[For now I can't confirm it]

...With his luck I was sure it wouldn't be pretty.

He really felt like shouting at the top of his lungs "What a disgrace!"

************************

(POV 3 person)

A shadow was moving quickly to Castle Einzbern, a blue cloak and a hood covers its body

A black and red elongated tail like that of a lizard, legs in the same state.

He watches the battle from afar as he gets excited

His red eyes glow with excitement

As he watches his prey, a red-haired girl, a black-haired girl and a little girl

... They only told him to kill the Masters.

They didn't tell him to fight the Servants, but it shouldn't be a problem if he fought a little with Berserker right?

A toothy grin broke out on his face at the prospect of fighting the great Heracles.

************************

(POV Tom)

Oh no

Tom saw a strange shadow and a Servant alter approaching.

He already knew what his targets were, through his connection he could feel Shiro nearby.

- Archer! There's trouble! - He vanished his Hollow mask and went using his bastardized version of the mana burst careful enough not to explode he ran and caught Illya, Sella and Leysritt.

- Oni-chan, what's the matter! - Illya was embarrassed and surprised to have been hugged and carried in her arms.

- Time is the least of it Illya - Illya shut up and didn't ask anymore, she understood that something was wrong for Tom to stop hitting Goldie - Sella, Leysritt put your hands on my shoulders quickly! -

The homunculus obeyed and Tom teleported to Shiro and Rin's location.

************************

(POV Shiro)

We were almost there, Rin was saying that she would give them a good reprimand about leaving together, while she had a bright smile.

Although my instincts told me that there was something very, very bad about that smile.

I could feel it close, something bad was coming towards us.

*Crack

With the sound of breaking twigs, Tom appeared ... with two women on top of him and a little girl in his arms.

....When we get home I will have to give him and Rin a punishment.

- Tom-san I think the police would like to know what you are doing with Illya-chan in your arms don't you think? - I said with a smile

Fufufu ~ his scared face is priceless

*Click

Oh Rin took a picture

************************

(POV Tom)

...Shiro can be scarier than Rin if he puts his mind to it.

- Are they done with their little games? - said a hooded figure, his voice is like Lancer's.

All the equipment he possesses has turned black. His skin is a darker shade, his hair is still blue as always, he has a kind of mark under his eyes. For some reason, he keeps his face covered with a hood.

His body is covered with the bones of "Curruid", giving him a more savage appearance. giving him a more savage appearance.

Shit is Cú Alter

Things are going to get ugly

Tom turned and smiled at the girls and approached them.

- Eh? - Cú Alter thought he was already cornered and was about to do something stupid - I don't know what your trick is, but I assure you it won't work on me! - He said as a toothy grin broke out on his face.

Tom just smirked at him and beamed at Emiya State.

Leaving a dumbfounded Servant Alter who had thought he needed a lot of preparations to teleport.

************************

(POV Tom)

- I'll be back in a moment -

I said before leaving them in the room while Sakura and Saber looked surprised.

************************

I reappeared in the Einzbern castle.

There, a Shadow Servant version of Berserker entered the castle

And a wounded Archer, running away from him as she is about to be intercepted by Gilgamesh.

That Goldie likes to push his luck eh?

I guess there's no other way

************************

(POV EMIYA)

Things went from bad to worse when Tom left.

A shadow took hold of Gilgamesh and he became something else.

His golden armor turned a dull color, his hair turned black and his eyes a blood red

He had become stronger

He has Berserker on the ropes

.....

He did something to Berserker, he now has a black evil aura about him and his eyes and body glow red and black

He tried to attack me

I closed my eyes waiting for my end, I almost couldn't move I was very injured

- Saigo No Getsuga Tenshou da - A powerful voice sounded and a monstrous energy burst out from Tom

I was stunned looking at him

It was that form

A black fire came up and burned Tom from head to toe.

Now his hair partly black and white, was totally black and long, his body was covered with bandages and his right arm by that dark fire, his eyes once blue-grayish were now bright red

He raised his arm to his side and a sword seemed to form out of the fire

And gave a slash to the front

- Mugetsu! - He uttered, Berserker and Gilgamesh disappeared into the inferno produced by the black fire along with the remains of what was once Einzbern Castle.

My consciousness was disappearing little by little

Tom was approaching, he was back to normal but he looked pale and very tired.

He held me in his arms

- Home Archer! - He said with a smile

My consciousness faded away as I rested my head on his chest.

************************

(POV Tom)

He fell unconscious

Taking advantage of that, I put a Zensu bean in his mouth and soon the wounds began to disappear

I teleported myself once again to Emiya State

************************

Rin and Shiro looked nervous, Sakura, Saber and Illya looked worried.

I entered the room with Archer in my arms.

Although I could see a twitch on Rin's and Shiro's faces when they saw me like that while Illya looked a little jealous.

I didn't pay much attention to them I was too tired

- We should talk - Tom said seriously - This is no longer a normal Holy Grail War -

************************************************

Closer and closer to the end of the arc

It's screwed Canon once again

And why did I change from Arturia Alter to Cú Alter?

Well it's simply because I can love and like your NPs

************************

Omake: Chaldea pt 05: The Queen

(POV 3 person)

Gudao walked calmly through Chaldea.

- You're insufferable!!!! -

He heard a shout from his most recent Servant Archer Tom.

Using the skills he had honed to sneak, hide and conceal his presence that he had learned to escape Serenity, Raiko and Kiyohime.

He slowly slipped out the door to see what was going on inside.

************************

(POV Tom)

Hahahaha my luck is shitty, of all people I had to find her.

- Are you listening to me, Faker?! - *haaaaa

Archer Gilgamesh (Fem)

- You were saying? - She really is trouble

I saw a vein swell up on her forehead, it's fun to piss her off.

- YOU -

- Me? -

- ... - She puffed out her cheeks.

Shit she's adorable

- What the hell have you got, you bashtardor?! - Oops without realizing it she was already stretching her cheeks.

She looks at me in aggravation with tears in her eyes.

- You dare to pull this queen's cheeks?! - she said as she pouted angrily and opened GOB.

I gave her a smirk and walked over to her, she got on guard thinking I would hit her, I moved a little faster than she could react and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

She soon deactivate GOB, she was all red and nervous.

- What the hell are you doing! - shouted without her previous arrogance - You shouldn't go near a lady like that! - She said very annoyed

- Lady? Where? I don't see any here -

- ...you! - Seriously this girl is short fuse

************************

(POV Gudao)

...What the fuck did I just see?

I mean Tom who is supposed to be married to EMIYA was making out with his arch-mega enemy Gilgamesh (Fem)!

Hell, what will happen to me if they find out I was here!

I have to talk this over with Gudako

************************

(POV 3 person)

- Come Tom-san! I promise it won't hurt much, if you run away it will only hurt more when we catch you!! - Gudako shouted with a fake smile while being accompanied by EMIYA and Shiro.

Everyone who saw them felt scared, not to mention poor Tom who was running for his life together with Gil.

{With Tom}

- This is your fault Faker!!!!! - Said Gil embarrassed that everyone was saying that the Faker and her had a thing - 'It's not like I like him!' - She thought as she watched him out of the corner of her eye and how he carried her like a princess as they ran away - '...Maybe just a little bit' - Her face turned red as she cuddled on top of his body.

- And why is it my fault! - Tom refused to admit that all this trouble came about because of him.

- Y-You had the nerve to kiss me! - It seemed like his head would start to smoke at any moment.

- It was only on the cheek! And it was a joke! -

- ...Joke? - *Crack there was a sound of something cracking and Tom looked around to see what was happening.

*Sniff *Sniff

He was surprised to hear sobbing in his arms.

And he felt his mouth would fall to the floor, when he looked at Gilgamesh he saw that she was looking at him as if he was a traitor while crying.

- You! You took everything from me and now you want to abandon me! - She said dramatically - 'This will teach him' - thought Gil in an evil way as he looked at Gudao, Gudako, EMIYA and Shiro who stopped in their tracks when they heard what she said.

- You just used me! Didn't you! - She sobbed some more

- N-No! I didn't mean that! - Tom was starting to panic as he tried to calm Gil down, oblivious to the terrifying aura of the two Archers behind him and how his master was screaming lucky bastard in his mind - You're very pretty you know, Yeah, anyone who would have you for sure would be very lucky! -

Gil went from her fake tears to embarrassment, many before had told her she was pretty and stuff like that...but it's a lot different if it's said by someone you like

Tom via it worked, he let out a sigh of relief.

- 'What a trouble queen' - He thought with a smile, even if he didn't like her at all, he couldn't deny that she was very lovable.

Gil grabbed him by his collar, completely forgetting about his pursuers she planned to give him a kiss and claim him as her own

- Stop right there!!! - EMIYA and Shiro shouted as they separated Gil from Tom and gave the golden Archer a cold stare.

Gudao was getting scared

Gudako, Gil, EMIYA and Shiro were giving each other cold looks.

Frightened he decided to talk to the only more or less responsible adult present.

- ...Tom, what's the plan? - he whispered softly

Tom approached him

- Listen, we have to be quick... -

Gudao knew that what they were going to do was nothing short of suicidal.

- You have to be quick," he said again, he was ready.

All the girls were giving them curious looks wondering what they were going to do.

Tom turned around....

- NIGERUNDAYO!!! - They boys both shouted and ran at full speed through Chaldea under the astonished looks of the girls.

************************

From a distance Caster Gilgamesh (M) and Merlin were drinking wine as they watched the spectacle.

- What the hell are they doing? - asked the blond Caster a bit dumbfounded and amused.

Merlin had a proud look on his face

- I've been teaching him the art of escape - A tear rolled down his face - I'm proud of those boys! -

Caster Gil just watched with a bead of sweat on his forehead.

************************************************

Archer Gil (Fem) Will come out later

And a possible +18 with her

It's in process xd
