CHP 87: I Will Become The Pir-

Nicholas sat on Chaldea's rooftop, yes, outside, staring up at the Sun as he dangled his legs off the edge, resting his palms against metal that should've rightly frozen his skin off.

Now, a normal person might ask, how was that possible?

They were, as a matter of fact, situated smack dab in the middle of Antarctica, a frozen continent, with local temperatures averaging around minus 60 degrees celsius.

Well, that person clearly wasn't used to Chaldea yet.

Nicholas had ...

CHP 86: Skill Issue

Nicholas wandered into the room Jeanne D'Arc and Martha had taken over after getting permission from Olga and looked around curiously, "Y'all really went the extra mile, huh?"

There was a thick carpet covering the floor, a proper arranged lining of pews with a lectern at the head... The wood seemed expensive as hell. 

Aside from that, the place was fairly minimalistic.

There were no painted or etched windows, no chandeliers or any of the expensive items like the local c...

CHP 85: Boom

Emiya picked up a bottle of scotch, running his hand over the smooth glass before pulling out the cork with a smooth 'pop'... He poured it into a small glass he'd prepared beforehand with grace and skill, ensuring that not a single drop was wasted or spilled.

"Hm."

The whiskey sizzled over the ice cubes in the glass as Emiya allowed a faint, satisfied smile to tug at his lips.

Septem had been something of a wild ride but the Counter Guardian was mostly certain now.

If ...

CHP 84: The Solution To All Problems

Olga found Nicholas and Romani hunched over a laptop, exchanging glances with mischief visible in their eyes. Whatever they were up to, they'd even managed to rope in Leonardo Da Vinci, who was standing a ways off with crossed arms but an amused grin on her face.

Truth be told though, she didn't really have it in her to reprimand or stop her 'subordinates'.

They deserved it for all the effort they put in to protect and sustain humanity's existence.

Seriously, how bad could i...

CHP 83: First Time?

There was just something about sending teenagers off to time periods that showed the depths of human cruelty and depravity that just didn't sit right with Kiara Sessyoin... It didn't matter that they had her-...er... questionably heroic figures of legend to aid them. 

They were all still kids.

How were their minds supposed to handle the horrors of war, drought, famine, pestilence and all that?

Those were the thoughts that passed through her mind as she sat in her comfor...

CHP 82: Monster

Romani 'Roman' Archaman was the head of Chaldea's medical department, he had spent much time with it's denizens, current and former, and was currently serving in the same capacity as it's Director, Olga Marie Animusphere, in lieu of the whole of upper command being six feet under thanks to a certain Demon God but that was something for later.

At least the A-Team were safe and sound, ensuring that humanity as a whole would be safe... eventually... when they got around to it.

ANYWAY...

CHP 81: Roman Liberator

Destruction. Death. Ruin. Plunder. Eradication.

Those were the sole objectives in the mind of the ancient war machine the Huns of old had come across and activated, swearing fealty to her cause and revelling in the glory of a slaughter that would be remembered for all days to come.

Those were the sole objectives a warmonger labelled the Scourge of God who burnt through the world.

That was all that was supposed to be until the end of her own days... but, walking through the a...

CHP 80: Told You So

Nicholas looked down at the purple haired girl, totally not fake crying, on his lap, with his usual listless expression, "Girl, you really think I don't know you fucked with them first?"

Emiya's, who'd been looking over a map at the table with Leonidas, whipped around to stare at him in visible shock, as did Mordred... along with maybe more than a hundred roman legionnaires...

"Fuck you guys too." He flipped all of them off.

At least Mash looked supportive of him.

"Erm...

CHP 79: Scourge of God

Nero tentatively observed the approaching contingent, her hands resting on the hilt of her crimson sword as she stood atop the battlements with her back straightened, projecting an image of unperturbed confidence to all those who followed and depended on her to guide them.

But well, it wouldn't be true if she said she wasn't a bit nervous.

"From what the scouts have reported, the ones we face now hail from Sparta. I do not know why they have travelled so far to aid rebels." Nero n...

CHP 78: A Little Oopsie

Gudako stared down blankly from one of the battlements of the Capital City of Gaul, her ginger hair, a proof of her lack of soul, fluttering in the wind.

From this height, she could see the vast swathes of uninhabited land that came with the era they were in... The soldie-...no, peasants looked like ants from where she stood and compared to servants she could obtain by gambling... they were.

"I see no God up here..." Gudako mumbled out, tilting her head ever so slightly, "Except m...

CHP 77: Nay To Tyranny!

Mordred chugged down... she'd actually forgotten how many flagons she'd downed, and watched through blurry eyes as her opponent fell back, foaming at the mouth. She looked at the crowd around them before raising her flagon with a massive grin, "HAHAHAHA! WHO'S NEXT?!"

"SPARTANS! WHAT DO WE DO WHEN FACED WITH IMPOSSIBLE ODDS?! DO WE SURRENDER?!"

"""NAY!!!"""

"SO DRINK, MEN! DRINK LIKE YOU DINE WITH ARES!!"

"""AOUHHHHH!!!"""

Flagons were raised to the sky and cheer...

CHP 76: Squatter Treatment

"Hrr... Ugh..." Stheno rubbed her eyes, slowly registering the hard wood she was droo-...n-no, er, leaning against because goddesses obviously didn't drool. Anyone who claimed otherwise was a foolish oaf in dire need of divine punishment for his thoughts.

The 'Perfect' Goddess pushed herself up and groggily looked around to take in a vast expanse of sea, as well as the fact that she was on a small canoe.

The Sun was rising to a cloudless blue sky, casting a strange light on her su...

CHP 75: Pick Me Gir-... Goddess

Martha watched with silent apprehension as Nicholas pulled the canoe they'd arrived in ashore, arms crossed under her chest, "Do you require any assistance?"

Her words held a discrete message no one would really get.

Well… except for Nicholas, cause retards often operated on a similar wavelength.

The Sun had set a few moments ago, and clouds had rolled in... leaving very little natural light to work with and unfortunately, neither of them had were properly equipped to deal...

CHP 74: Beyond Words

Nicholas looked at Nero walk up to them genuinely surprised, moving her head from side to side and taking in the aftermath of man against an army...

No wait, Nicholas against an army.

The distinction as many had learned, and many more would come to learn, was incredibly important.

Cause you know, normal wars didn't leave craters in the Earth the size of multiple football fields.

"I don't think any of the other generals I've appointed could've accomplished this..." The ...

CHP 73: I Came, I Saw, I Conquered

"Is this what we were warned against? The greatest magi of times far beyond our own? If so, I can see the need for a warning." Julius Caesar wiped his face with a small frown, somehow having accumulated brain damage without actually being clocked.

"Hm! Hm! Senpai is the greatest magus ever, period! Trust BB."

And it didn't help that the servant floating in the air just reaffirmed his words.

Nicholas himself, well, he was too busy trying to do a video game finisher on a rando...

CHP 72: A Great General

Nicholas pursed his lips and flatly looked back at the massive fully armoured contingent of soldiers walking through barren land like they were descended from camels...

The motherfuckers didn't even bring along supplies or nothing, not even tents... Something about how it was only a small walk and it wasn't really going to be a problem.

Even he would be hard pressed for some soda or something after walking for literal miles, at least, that's what he thought.

"Why we need a w...

CHP 71: Natural Course Of Action

"As your general, I command you to hang that man by his balls." Nicholas spoke from a bench and pointed upwards with two fingers, a faint smile on his face that faded away when a nearby patrol saluted and bum rushed the poor guy he was pointing at, "...Why're they actually trying to do it?"

Gudako and the others were off strategising or gathering info from Nero or something, doing their usual nerd stuff so he was out here, passing the time until they told him where the dudes he was supp...

CHP 70: Taste of Freedom

"Get your pizza! One buck a piece! Or hell, take it for free! It ain't costing us nothing!"

Yu leaned against a wall and narrowed her eyes at the pale haired teenager speaking in a volume that just didn't match his expression... which was creepy as shit but she was used to it... Anyway, was this really what they were supposed to be doing?

"Is this really what we're supposed to be doing?... Like y'know, I thought we were saving humanity or something..." She commented offhandedly, c...

CHP 69: Umu Empress

Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus was the Supreme Monarch of the Roman Empire and as such it was her first and foremost duty to defend the livelihood and sanctity of Rome and her people, no matter how difficult things became.

It was why she swung her crimson and cut down man after man now, leading those that would follow her righteous rule to their inevitable victory.

It was why she took up arms against those she knew to be her own people when they turned against Rome, infl...

CHP 68: Arrival

Mash Kyrielight had been designed in a lab for the express purpose of hosting the soul of a heroic spirit under the supervision of Chaldea's former, much less 'thoughtful' and 'empathetic', Director.

Then, she'd been deemed as a failure when she couldn't properly manifest the powers of the hero of legend that was residing inside her and tossed aside, handed over to Chaldea... where, well, it would be a lie if Mash were to say everything was all good right off but now, er, now it was muc...

CHP 67: Hesitation is Defeat

Yu pursed her lips and looked down at Nicholas who was counting a plethora of different items, going over a small list in his left hand.

"So... What're you up to?"

She felt that asking would make her question the man's intelligence but she did it anyway, the behaviour of a Neanderthal made for an interesting pastime... so she thought at least.

And it wasn't like she had a lot to do until she summone-... nevermind.

"Prepping, I heard we was headed to Rome this time... a...

CHP 66: Singularity Briefing

"So er... learning from our mistakes last time, Chaldea's higher command has elected t-"

"Isn't that just you and Olga though?" Nicholas held up a hand, leaning back in his reclining chair.

Last he'd checked, mos-... no wait, ALL of Chaldea's higher authority had been blasted to kingdom come by Lev bin Laden... wait what?

No.

Lev Lainur, yeah, that was the one.

It was the whole reason he had a vendetta against the 72 Demon Faggots, most of whom probably looked li...

CHP 65: 37 Inch Vertical Leap

Nicholas ducked, he weaved, he sidestepped and jumped but still got his ass beat by Mordred, a King Main... in Tekken.

What?

You thought he'd lose to her in an actual fight?

No wait, the very notion that he would somehow end up fighting his daught-... er, Mordred, was annoying.

He would beat the shit out of whoever tried to orchestrate such an event.

Anyway, he digressed.

Nicholas sat on his floor, doing his hardest to button mash while trying to make sure ...

CHP 64: Not Time Shenanigans?

"Even if it's you, I can't just... Why do you even need my permission?"

Kiara Sessyoin massaged her forehead with one hand, and tapped a pen against her table with the other.

The 'patient' she'd been sent here for was eccentric in a way she had no way of dealing with and that was saying something considering she'd spent her whole life helping people from all walks of life, all over the world.

"Who is that? I believe I've never seen her before."

In the end, she ended up...

CHP 63: Your Beloved Kouhai

As one of the few designated hitmen for every single one of humanity's fuck ups, there was a lot Emiya had seen and done all over the place but the current Chaldea stood out among all that and then some.

But well...

He supposed that humanity may have been wrong in it's initial judgement of the teenager poking a glass of apple juice like it was the most interesting thing in the world while lying against his counter.

While usually humanity's collective subconscious had a kill ...

CHP 62: Indisputable Talent

"AAAH!!"

"Ugh..." Nicholas groaned and covered his ears, slamming his head into his desk, "Why the fuck did anyone think this was a good idea?"

Mozart, who was sitting to his side, looked like he was having a seizure, smiling politely but screaming in pain underneath his spasming expression, "N-N...This... This is j-just wrong..."

"It's a desecration of the natural order, someone should smite that girl." Emiya nodded along, sitting next to Mozart, "And it was your idea, Mast...

CHP 61: A Normal Day At Chaldea

"998... 999... 1000."

Nicholas threw his custom 200 lbs dumbbells on the floor after completing one of his increasingly intense workouts and wiped his forehead with a towel out of sheer habit even though there was no actual sweat.

"This is never going to be not satisfying."

He could grind all he wanted, play games, eat good and go around looking at all sorts of stuff across all of time while beating up the occasional dumbass that didn't know what was what.

Sure there w...

CHP 60: Hardcore Session

Yu looked at Nicholas flatly, a hand in the pocket of her white lab coat, "...So, what is this supposed to be?" She gestured to the EXTREMELY familiar scantily-clad blushing and fumbling mess trying to hide behind him with her free hand.

Tilting his head in confusion, Nicholas held up the obsidian sword in his hand, "It's Excalibur Morgan, nabbed it from Artoria."

The sword hummed and pulsed with raw power, letting out a strange glint so Nicholas did the thing he knew best, he pun...

CHP 59: The Promised Reward

Olga Marie Animusphere was the Director of the Chaldea Security Organisation... and while that may not have meant all that much to the upper echelons of the world some time ago, it mattered more than anything right now considering Chaldea was technically all that remained of the modern world right now.

Sighing, Olga massaged her forehead with one hand and tapped the other one against her desk.

As one might think, it was something of a stressful job cause of a tiny detail... The fa...

CHP 58: Kick the Ball

People were like, Nicholas, Nicholas, if you care about them, why would you let them fight?

That was cause cat fights were peak.

Then they asked, what if it goes too far?

It wouldn't and besides, a good fight every once in a while was good for the health. It kept folks grounded and/or confident.

Besides, what kinda 'fight' would a fight be if you didn't bash each other's faces in?

That was why Nicholas sat cross-legged and counted his cards as Jeanne Alter and Ar...
