CHP 27: Singularity F - Underway!

"We're in the burning Fuyuki, designated Singularity F, and the servant prepared for the mission has chosen to give me access to his power." Mash Kyrielight reported dutifully, giving Director Olga a stern salute as her lavender eyes wandered to the stare down going between the mysterious Caster who'd helped them find their way here and her senpai, "But er... well, I don't know how to deploy his noble phantasm."

Olga tapped her foot against the ground, arms crossed, "That's well and all...

CHP 26: Get Ready

Nicholas silently watched his boss do her work like a proper magus while his servant went about moving the rubble out of the rundown Church before sitting down on her knees and clasping her hands together in a silent prayer.

"Look at that, she's an actual saint."

He himself was lying sideways on one of the many pews strewn about the dilapidated buildings, his head propped up and resting on his hand as he tapped the other one on the hardwood underneath him.

From the lawn outs...

CHP 25: A Coin's Two Sides

Nicholas kicked a pebble lying in his way out of sheer habit and pursed his lips when said pebble shattered a random window, alerting the skeletons that had previously been poking at random shit or just shuffling around to their presence.

"Oops."

"...Nicholas." Sighing, Olga held the bridge of her nose, pointing at a hill in the distance with her free hand, "We're halfway there, can't you just behave for a while?"

Nicholas took in a deep breath, "It was an accident."

T...

CHP 24: Where Are We?

Nicholas stoically observed his hand, clenching and unclenching it,

"... Lev, you fuck."

What had once been a futuristic looking room from one of those sci-fi movies was replaced by a burning city that looked a little too much like an early Resident Evil setting for comfort, complete with destroyed skyscrapers on fire, with thick smoke billowing and destroyed cars littered throughout the cracked roads.

The change happened faster than he could recall, no, faster than he wante...

CHP 23: And So, It Begins

"Let's do our best, senpai."

Mash tried her best.

"Yeah, that's totally not a death flag." Nicholas stared down at the literal metal coffin with crossed arms and narrowed eyes, they were supposed to be for safety during rayshift (the fancy word for time travel), to protect against external attacks or tampering, "I don't like this at all."

The lavender haired girl deflated and walked away.

Overhead, multiple massive screens buzzed with words and numbers he didn't get a ...

CHP 22: Ritsuka Fujimaru Wants To Cry

"We here at Chaldea intend to..."

Mash glanced at her newest senpai from the corner of her eyes, she would have liked to help her more but the seats for the A-Team were too removed from the staff and B-Team seatings, especially the ones for rookies.

The girl would be having a hard time here, B-Team had too many members of the nobility for anyone to like and while they couldn't work against Nicholas cause... well, he attacked one of them when she did and the others seemed to get th...

CHP 21: My Name Is Rits-

Mash walked through one of Chaldea's many corridors with light footsteps, glancing back at the curious red-haired teenager following her with a barely noticeable smile tugging on her lips, "I would show you around but... the Director's called everyone."

After her pseudo-senpai Nicholas had maimed and technically 'killed' Beryl Gut, Chaldea had sort of gone on overdrive to get a 48th Master Candidate, resorting to using the sort of methods normal companies would apply to fill up their ro...

CHP 20: DROP THE BEAT!

"Have I ever told you the definition of insanity?"

Nicholas tilted his head, eyes widening in surprise as he stared at the dollar store Disney reject standing some distance off from him, "You played Far Cry 3?"

Hell, was he wrong about the guy?

Maybe he wasn-

"No, I've no time for useless activities like you. There is much to be done after all, though I doubt you would understand even if I expanded." Lev explained further, his face completely unexpressive, "It is merel...

CHP 19: Easy Wom-

"So if someone could throw a planet, they'd be an Archer?" Nicholas moved his eyes along with the very human movements of a Rider Class Saint in a navy tank top and white trousers swerving from side to side, her hands in a traditional boxing stance.

Taking an abrupt step forward, Martha unleashed a devastating hook right into his face and quickly retracted it when he raised his forearm to defend, using the opportunity to smash a fist into his guts, "I think so, yes. That's more than eno...

CHP 18: Manchildren

(A/N: I want to clarify this for this chapter, the characters don't talk to each other in Japanese. They talk in English, like people at Chaldea do. This wouldn't be the case for say, a story set in Japan with Japanese characters but FGO is anything but that.)

Nicholas narrowed his eyes at the red ball slowly sliding across the pool and pumped his fist, "Alright." With that he was somewhat closer to winning the tenth game after nine total losses, Kirschtaria was going down this time! 2024-01-03 16:02:32 +0000 UTC View Post

CHP 17: Mirror Copy

Nicholas eyed the Rider servant 'discreetly' stealing glances at the fishes in Olga's aquarium and then returned his gaze to the calm Olga sitting across from them, boring holes into his skull with her eyes, "Are you going to explain what happened?"

"I called her a hoe... she called me a two bit punk. We hit the gym." He pointed at Martha who nodded seriously, "Now we get along."

"How does... How does that even work?"

Both Master and servant shrugged at the same time, averti...

CHP 16: Two of Them?!

Olga tapped her fingers against her elbow involuntarily, staring at the ginger haired doctor standing across from where she was sitting with a bit of nervousness, "H... How did it go?"

"It went well, Nicholas succeeded. I don't know how, but the system worked for him." Romani reported honestly, "He's successfully summoned a heroic spirit contracted to him." He withdrew a page from the clipboard in his hand and placed it down on her table.

That was good news.

Nicholas had bee...

CHP 15: Annoyed Women

Nicholas eyeballed the brunette sitting across from him with an uncharacteristic gentle smile on her face, "What yu want, four eyes?" His mood was already shitty because his sleep had been disturbed, and the way she was smugly looking at him like a toddler was annoying him even more.

Maybe it was the fact that almost every room in Chaldea resembled a metal box, sometimes bigger or smaller with screens and furniture but a metal box nonetheless. Also, the staff was way too amiable, they t...

CHP 14: Daybit Sem Void

Rock music blared over the comms built in the metal walls, shaking the fully lit room and disorienting anyone daring enough to enter without thinking about it a ton.

"99... 100!"

Nicholas threw down the 300 kg barbell after, well, an absurd one hundred overhead squats, with no sweat on his perfect form and raised his untired hands in victory.

Though, he supposed it didn't really feel rewarding when it had taken zero effort.

Nicholas rubbed his chin in thought, eyes clo...

CHP 13: Harsh Director?

"This is abuse... I'm sending a complaint to HR."

Knowing Nicholas, that was probably going to come in the form of assault with full intent to cause bodily harm.

"I'm the Director, you can't complain about me." Olga Marie Animusphere narrowed her eyes at the grumbling pale haired teenager, "Who would it even go to?" There was no higher authority to report to beyond her.

Nicholas mimicked her expression, resting his back against the cold metal of the vehicle taking them throu...

CHP 12: Yank vs London

The Sun hid behind the clouds, and a certain gloom hung about the brick and stone city of London. Mist rolled into the streets and with each breath, a cloud of condensation joined with the air. This was good, it hid the machinations of the Mage's Association that had it's headquarters in the city from the blissfully unaware public.

Alright, enough about the senile, elitist codgers that spent their time diddling to books ‘blissfully unaware’ of just how fucked they were if science ke...

CHP 11: Chaldea's Mascot

"Have you read a Song of Ice and Fire?" Nicholas asked curiously, observing the book lying in Yu's lap. It had a Japanese title, so obviously he couldn't make heads or tails of what it said, it'd be different if someone showed him the alphabet but no one did, so he only knew how to speak it slightly and even that because of some bits spoken by other staff members.

Hinak Akuta, Yu, looked up to meet his shining violet eyes but couldn't hold eye contact and averted her gaze, "What's that?...

CHP 10: Temporary Compromise?

His eyes burning in concentration, sweat rolling down his forehead, and every single muscle in his system scrunched, Nicholas eyeballed the laptop sitting on his table. His concentration was at a level none at Chaldea had witnessed before, his state one they didn't know existed.

That was why no one in the cafeteria asked why he was watching a Magi Mari stream like his life depended on it... Oh yeah, there was also the form he'd been told to fill out lying near him.

He had to do th...

CHP 09: A-Team

Nicholas walked through one of Chaldea's many corridors, refraining from commenting on the repetitively minimalistic design sense of the previous Director, "...No wonder he killed himself." He'd do it too if he had to live in this place for years on end but he'd probably punch down one of the walls and escape.

He glanced at Romani walking by his side with a clipboard and pursed his lips. There was something he needed to say to the doctor, but whether or not that was the right thing to d...

CHP 08: Ma and Pa

"Guys... This just feels wrong in some way." Kadoc spoke out nervously, scratching the back of his head as he stared at the few members of the A-team, and other staff, Nicholas had managed to scrounge up and gather in the cafeteria.

"What you talking about?" Nicholas glanced at the banner above them with arms crossed and eyes shining, "This is one of the best ideas I've had in my life."

"I'm inclined to agree... Besides the fact that we now need to search for a new Master to take ...

CHP 07: Chaldea Court Session

Nicholas flipped the bird to the man sitting across from him, "You're going down."

"Your actions here..." The man in question, Lev Lainur Flauros gestured around the Director's office with his eyes, nursing a fresh bruise on his face with the only hand not in a cast, "Just serve to prove my point further."

Nicholas only shrugged, "We'll see, Disney reject."

"I am your superior officer!"

The teenager completely ignored the professor and looked around, "Why are we here a...

CHP 06: Gasoline

Nicholas unamusedly stared at the expressionless four eyes in a long white coat that had started following him around somewhere along the way during his 'side quest', "Stop following me, lady." He pointed at the long dark hair tied in two ponytails, "Those are way too long."

She moved the small book in her hands to the side a bit and stared at him with a large hazel eye, she then pointed at the filled jerry can that totally wasn't meant for arson in his hand, "Why do you want to burn do...

CHP 05: Simulated... Combat (Not)

Nicholas stared at the three red wings stacked on top of one another on his hand in contemplation, "So these are my keys to summoning chi*ehem*... You know, if I ignore the whole grimdark part of this world, isn't this just some fucked up way to make porn?"

'Command seals' that bound the summoned figure of legend and influenced them once used, physically and mentally, "And how come most of these heroes are hot chicks?"

The Japanese were a strange people.

Hadn't the original ...

CHP 04: Coffee Break

Nicholas stood in front of the coffee machine, watching the liquid being poured into the jar with curious eyes, "You Chaldea folk are weird sometimes." He spoke to the only other person standing nearby, a tall, broad male staff member with combed blonde hair and slight stubble.

"How so?"

"Well Bill, what do you need clowns for?" The teenager asked in genuine curiosity, confusing the older man who tilted his head and scratched his beard in thought, trying to make sense of the state...

CHP 03: I Just Wanna Talk To Him

Nicholas was lying in his less than comfy bed, arms crossed under his head, and staring at the plain metal ceiling in silence, "What am I doing with my life?"

It was a simple room, with a metal book shelf in one corner, a bed extending from the wall and a table with a lamp right next to it, also extending from the wall, also made of metal... It was actually weird how just about everything was metal here.

It had been a week since he'd arrived in Chaldea, met a few 'interesting' per...

CHP 02: Master Candidate?

Romani sat across from Nichloas and massaged his forehead, "You punched him and... that happened." He pointed at the pointy eared man cleanly embedded in metal. The doctor looked to the staff outside, "Please try to get him out of there... and somebody inform the Director."

"Yeah, I punched him and that happened." The unruly teenager mimicked his tone, "I don't know what the norm here is but where I come from, you just don't caress a man's face. And I don't think interrogators are allow...

CHP 01: The One Who Punches

(A/N: Ignore this one if you want, it's my therapy for Disturbance.) 

"How did I get here again?" Nicholas rubbed the back of his head in confusion, looking around at empty fields of green with purple eyes that shined in curiosity and childish excitement, "Did I get drugged and dumped?!"

He quickly pulled up his black t-shirt and felt around his stomach, pinching some of the fat on it to check for any extra pain or surgical indents or stitches and released a small sigh in rel...

CHP 63: Treasure

"What... What did you just say?"

Agravain struggled to maintain his poker face, observing the stupefied blonde knight staring at him as if she had just lost everything she had.

The truth of the Knight of Betrayal was not lost to him, she was his sibling.

He pitied her.

She had bore the brunt of their craven mother's ruthless machinations.

Mordred's eyes had nearly lost their light, the brazen attitude she was famous for was nowhere to be seen for a moment before ...

CHP 62: Rightful Monarch

Tristan stared at the servant before him in silence, his eyes calm but forced open by the sheer oppression radiating off a newly arrived force, "You are... Sir Aston, right?" He asked slowly, fingers resting against Failnaught's strings. It felt as if even if they were careful, a single wrong movement could bring calamity on their heads.

Even Gawain seemed to understand, firmly gripping Excalibur Galatine should the need to use it arise.

They couldn't fail their King again, not af...

Intermission 3

(A/N: Trust me, this one's more important than all others combined.)

Another Possibility

Once called a witch, abandoned by her own flesh and blood, her role as rightful Queen ripped from her, and cast out from her own home. The current Queen and Empress of the British Isles stood at the bottom of the steps lead up to two ornate thrones, her pale hands locked together as she awaited the one who would enter through the massive gates near a hundred metres away with a giddy ex...
