Side Story 33: Let Them Fight

At the clearing where the new faction of 7 servants and 7 masters appeared, along with their supposed ruler, Ein. They were getting to know each other. Why are the servants that are unruly, coming from the lostbelt and all quite calm you ask? It's because they know they will be sent to the shadow realm if they even try anything funny.

"Yoshhh! We are the 3rd party that will fuck, I mean participate in this grail war. Pretty exciting, right? And speaking of our faction, how about we let them know we're here?" Ein gave a shit eating grin and the kids got excited. They knew that their dad will be doing something insane.

"I don't like that smile of yours Ein-sama. You had that on your face when you taught me that move Shinra Tensei. And what did it result in, Orario got split apart in half." Alfia squinted her eyes at him and he shrugged.

"Okay, Alfia and her servant wants to show off, they offered to do.a demonstration. Lucoa-chan, how about you use your noble phantasm and give us a fireworks display?" Ein smiled at the Aztec god and the blonde smiled as well.

But she suddenly lost her enthusiasm when she remembered that she was at full power as a divine spirit. "Uhhh, won't the humans get extinct when I use that?" Quetzalcoatl raised a brow and Alfia almost choked on her saliva when she heard her words.

"Eh, don't worry. I'll handle the aftermath, no civilians will die or even have a scratch on them. Go crazy." Ein waved his hand nonchalantly and Quetzalcoatl nodded, trusting the apparent leader who casually summoned the beast II.

Alfia suddenly felt her reserves plummet. Quetzalcoatl was drawing in massive amounts of magic from her and she frowned heavily. Her servant was already using her own reserves and the dent on hers was huge still.

"I don't like where this is going." Alfia creased her brows as she remembered that even her strongest magic, Genos Angelus didn't use this much mana. And that was able to destroy the Leviathan in her world.

"The past is here. The present is here." Quetzalcoatl started unleashing one of her noble phantasms and Alfia shuddered at the divine energy coming from her.

"The future is here! Come winds, come lightning!" Quetzalcoatl raised her hand and a magic circle appeared at the sky.

It started spinning rapidly and opened up, arcing lightning and spewing fire everywhere. Quetzalcoatl then looked at Surtr and the giant nodded.

She jumped on his palm and Surtr threw her at the sky. "When the morning star shines, let all know the Sun's light reaches every corner of the Earth!" Her fists burned brightly, like dawn has just arrived.

Every magus and servant heard the loud shout at the sky. But it was a tad too late to react. "Piedra del Sol!" Quetzalcoatl roared and hit the ground like a raging meteor.

The kids and Hua were already wearing shades, Ein then took one from nowhere and put it on Alfia's heterochromatic eyes as well. "This is mandatory, or your retinas will get burned." Ein smiled at her and Alfia didn't quite understand.

But then it came, a brilliant light blinded everyone that was looking at it. And an explosion suddenly followed with a resounding shockwave that teared apart everything in its way. (gif)

The ground rippled and the whole earth shaked from the cataclysmic explosion. It was simply apocalyptic. Fire and brimstone rained upon the lands. Lava and molten rock that was catapulted into space returned to the blue earth.

Earthquakes that haven't been felt before for millions of years shook everything. Tectonic plates got agitated violently and the ground ruptured. Volcanoes erupted all over the world, signaling the end of an era.

"Kyahahaha! That was amazing, dad! Make her do it again! Ohh, I know. Hey, Surtr, can you do that?" Alexis was giddy and looked at the king of the giants.

"I can, master. Shall I?" He brought out his sword and Surtr was ecstatic. He had so much mana and power that he could truly bring Ragnarok.

"Wait! Stop, stop! What the hell was that!?" Alfia poured cold water on their pyromania. Making the master and servant pout at her.

"That, my dear Alfia. Is a divine spirit using her noble phantasm. Pretty neat, right?" Ein showed them a bird's eye view of the area. Half of Africa and Europe were now a smoldering crater.

"Whew, I would not want to fight that woman on the battlefield." Morgan whistled and was in awe at all the destruction. And she felt that Quetzalcoatl didn't even use her strongest attack.

"No shit? I don't think anybody who has even a shed of normal in them would want to fight her." Alfia was losing her mind and have seen such awesome might for the first time of her life. It was no exaggeration that Lucoa would body Orario.

"Yay! Was I awesome?" Lucoa returned to them and gave a peace sign. Ein high fived with her and he gave her a thumbs up.

"Those filthy maguses now know we're here that's for sure." Scàthach snorted and everybody except Alfia clapped at Lucoa's masterful display.

"But they're dead now. Gone, reduced to nothing." Alfia mumbled and thought her familia was really crazy. They summoned literal gods that display their power against mortals.

"Eh, don't worry. Of course I wouldn't let them die." Rita appeared and reversed time on the whole world. Nobody was dead in the first place except the masters and servants, but now they know that someone can kill them easily.

"Fufufu~ Have fun Ein. The kids will surely enjoy the playtime you'll have here." Rita kissed his cheek and disappeared.

"Did she... Reverse time?" Morgan was shaken and thought that Rita was a magician wielding the 5th magic.

"Pft, magic blue? Let's just say she can manipulate time to the degree that the root wouldn't exist." Ein chuckled and Morgan was in awe. She is a tyrant that rules her kingdom with brutal efficiency.

But everyone there in which some are even stronger than her pales in comparison. "My dear master, can I change spouses?" Morgan looked at Bellatrix and wanted to change masters.

She calls her master as her wife or husband. A respectful name for the worthy who have summoned her. And they summoned her with infinite mana to do her bidding.

"Wait a minute... Are we, alive?" Morgan looked at the other servants except Scàthach that was really alive like Artoria.

"Huh... Now that you say it, we are alive? Wait!? We're alive!? Not just some spirit?" Ishtar had her mouth agaped and felt that they were not some avatar.

"Yes, yes you are." Scàthach replied and the 6 went quiet. They were basically their own free person after their masters lets them loose. Except of course the counterforce would be on their asses.

And they were already losing their minds because Laplus, the equivalent of Akasha as the imaginary tree was trolling them. Imprisoning Alaya and Gaia to a cardboard box and making them watch things unfold.

"Hmm, don't get any ideas though. The only way you'll live is if you follow me. And I'm just a retiree, enjoying life with my wife and kids. So I don't know if you'll enjoy that life." Ein shrugged.

'Retiree my ass!' Every servant shouted out in their minds. They just summoned them in their true forms and it was with pure brute force too. Their wills just wished for it and they popped in like new toys.

"But that's not what we came here for! We came here so you can lead your servants! So how about we start the fun stuff and just begin?" Ein smirked and he snapped his fingers.

He accelerated time and they appeared high up in the sky. There was a battle right under them, thousands of weird skeletons, homonculi, and golems fought.

Crushing each other afoot or stabbing the enemies. But the real meat of the war were the other servants that fought.

Everybody was wary at first, thinking that the earlier attack is just an illusion. And someone played a prank on them. The two factions fortified their defenses and waited. But nothing happened, just a message was left at their bases in the form of a letter. Saying that the silver team has arrived, struggle with all your might.

"This is pretty exciting!" Hua shouted out and saw the war. She remembered the time where the old timer beat up Kallen, no diff. And she thought it was pretty similar. But on a grander scale because of the presence of servants.

"Right~ It looks fun, too bad though. You can't just go in there willy nilly, let them fight." Ein pointed at their servants and they were pretty relaxed. Any single one of them could end the war by their lonesome after all. It was the difference between being in their full strength and a servant that was summoned by the grail.

Not to mention that their servants were the likes of Morgan who can rain Rhongomyniad at them and kill everyone without even a fight beginning.

"So? Who goes first?" Gilgamesh asked and was quite interested in establishing their dominance.

"Let's settle this with a rock paper's scissors tourney!" Alexis shouted out as she was sure that she will win again with her stupidly op luck.

The kids started an intense battle for rock paper scissors. And the one who won first place was a no brainer. It was Alexis, but Alfia came close. Even though she didn't want to sic Lucoa on them.

"Yes! YES! Surtr! See those two fighting over there? With the swords? They're the sabers of each team, go in and use beat them up Surtr!" Alexis commanded and the king of the giants nodded. He could get on with her order after all.

Surtr then started plumetting to the ground and the participants of the war will be getting a nice surprise.

A man in ineffective armor with a glowing chest and a knight that was decked in full plate swung their swords at each other with ferocity. Their blades spark after every clash.

Dust was raised and the two combatants fought for supremacy. "Tch, you fake!" The knight put pressure on her blade and made the man fly.

"You call yourself a saber-class servant? Of course a fake will only amount to this much." She haughtily dissed.

"Show me the way, o sword." The man's blade erupted with a blue hue. Energy coating it as he started to release his noble phantasm.

"Hoh? Your noble phantasm? Well then, I have permission from my master anyways." The Knight's helmet disassembled itself and revealed her face. (pic)

"You shall perish, befitting your fate as a fake! Clarent!" Blood red energy crackled from her blade and she was about to unleash her noble phantasm as well.

"Balmung!" The man shouted out and swung his sword. An energy blade raged, following the trajectory of his blade.

"Blood Arthur!" Their energies pulsed and clashed for a moment. The knight also swung her sword and they were about to have a power struggle. But something titanic suddenly fell from the sky and raised dust everywhere.

"Ugh! What in the world?" The two saber class servants were baffled and they suddenly saw a blazing hand appear from the dust. It was currently holding the energy they fired off and crushed it like a piece of candy.

"Saber of black. Saber of red. I am the saber of the silver faction. Be honored that you will be the first witnesses of Ragnarok." Surtr then stood up and he towered the battlefield. The very ground beneath him melted and the two sabers felt the immense heat coming from him.

"W-who are you?" The man could only ask and they finally saw one of the servants of the silver faction that they thought was just a joke. And they felt quite hopeless. As Surtr was just one of them, what of the others?

"I am the bringer of Ragnarok, now witness it and be thankful. Shine brighter than the sun." Surtr put his hand in front of him and a burning sword appeared. Everything for hundreds of kilometers immediately ignited and everything that could combust. Burned into blazing flames.

"Loptr Laegjarn." Surtr raised the sword and slammed it onto the ground in a blink of an eye. His noble phantasm surely shone brighter than the sun. As the onlookers retinas got burned in an instant. But just after a split second, they got vaporized.

"Kyahahaha! Look, dad! Surtr is the best! I told you the saber class is the bestest!" Alexis laughed and Ein patted her on the head.

"Wow, just... Wow." Alfia now knew that her familia members were insane. It just didn't click for her until now.

"Hehe~ But I guess making Surtr use an anti divine, anti life, and anti life attack is overkill. Let me fix that." Ein snapped his fingers and everyone returned once again. But they just stared at the burning giant that looked down on them, literally and figuratively.

"Me next! Me next!" Bellatrix swapped places with Alfia and she wanted to show berserker's noble phantasm to everyone.

"As you wish, my master." Morgan floated nearby the servants and the knight noticed her. "F-father?" The knight furrowed her brows and Morgan looked at her.

"Interesting. A copy of Artoria? The me from proper history must have been obsessed. No matter, let me show you something. Oh son of Artoria. Fall, Lordless Camelot." Morgan waved her hand and javelins started falling from the sky.

A portal then opened and the anchor of the root appeared. Rhongomyniad, there was no explosion like with Surtr, no apocalyptic earthquakes like with Lucoa. The battlefield was just erased, a giant hole appeared and the knight fell to her knees.

"Mordred, you succeeded in killing Artoria. Maybe I'll let you lead Camelot for a job well done? I have better avenues right now because of my master after all." Morgan smirked and thought that why settle on a kingdom, if you can rule an empire.

"Still too overkill, okay! No more noble phantasms. How will you learn to lead people if they just blast everyone?" Ein snapped his fingers again and undid the damage. He sealed the noble phantasms of the servants and limited Morgan's Rhongomyniad so she couldn't spam it.

"Now, let them fight." Ein clapped and the 7 servants descended with their masters. Looking like the power rangers that was there to fuck shit up instead of saving the day.
