Chapter 42: Rain Before The Storm

Gilgamesh: "What do we have at our disposal?"

Amagi: "Fighters? Akagi, Kaga, Commander, You, and Mordred. Iri thinks it's best we save X for later while Akeno and Ahri are still working on the teleportation spell. Issei.. he could be of use-"

Gilgamesh: "But?"

Amagi: "We don't have much to keep us protected. Issei could unleash his Diabolos form if you'd like but after that, he's out of the battle entirely"

Y/n: "We won't really need him once we go to the underworld. On my mark, call Ophis and tell her to get ready. Issei will unleash it for those 5 minutes"

Amagi: "What about you?"

Y/n: "I'll see if I can close Tiamat's seals again"

Amagi: "Alone?"

Y/n: "Gilgamesh is going to need help with taking on Kama. I'll distract Tiamat and figure out a way to bring her out while they deal with Kama"

Amagi: "Won't she just wipe the floor with them?"

Gilgamesh: "As proud as I am, I can admit, it'll be a long shot for us to survive for just 5 minutes with that beast"

Y/n: "I know it's a lot to ask.. but I can't leave her like that"

I turn over to see Tiamat knock Kama to the ground as she recklessly fires a beam from her mouth at her.

Y/n: "She's my mother"

Gilgamesh: ".. *sighs* Fine. You got a minute though"

Y/n: "That's all I need"

Gilgamesh: "When we go over to battle with Kama, I'll need everyone to listen to me. I'll be taking command"

Y/n: "They're all yours"

Gilgamesh: "How long until that damn spell is ready?"

Amagi: "Another 7 minutes"

Y/n: "Gilgamesh"

Gilgamesh: "Hm?"

Y/n: "We just need to hold strong for another 7 minutes. Think you could do that?"

Gilgamesh: "Is that a challenge? Such a stupid question would of resulted in death if it wasn't you. I'll hold her off in my end. You focus on bringing your mother back"

Y/n: "Thanks.. we take off in 2. Get everyone ready"

Amagi: "Yes!!"

She takes off as Gilgamesh and I head out of the little camp Amagi had set up.

Gilgamesh: "Think you can handle a beast on your own?"

Y/n: "Yep"

Gilgamesh: "What if you can't? What will you do?"

He says in a serious tone. I stay quiet for a bit before looking up to the sky.

Y/n: "I will"

He looks at me, unsatisfied with my answer.

Y/n: "I'll do everything to pull her back"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mordred was sitting on a log as she stretches a bit. She slaps herself a few times in the face as she takes a deep breath.

Mordred: "Follow the king's command to the very end"

X: "Mordred"

Mordred: "Father?!"

She jumps up as X arrives.

X: "I'm not your father. I'm just some alternate version of her. I'm here to talk to you"

Mordred sits back down as X takes the seat to her right. They sit in silence for a couple of seconds until X extends her arm and pulls Mordred's head over to her shoulder.

Mordred: "F-Father?!"

X: "Just be quiet for a minute"

Mordred complices despite the order being embarrassing for her. A knight showing such a soft side, but if it was a king's orders, she'd be happy to oblige.

X: "I may not be your real.. Father, but.. I can't help but think... You had it rough didn't you?"

Mordred's eyes widen.

Mordred: "No.. as long as I was by Father's side, I couldn't care less about being-"

X: "Those are lies. I could see right through them.. it wasn't just that you wanted to be the heir to the throne. Deep inside, you just wanted to be acknowledged by your Father, wasn't it?"

Mordred stayed quiet. The war suddenly started to fade as he King of Camelot and Knight of the Round Table stand still.

Mordred: "How do you know so much of me? You may bare resemblence to Father but you aren't him"

X: "I could tell by the way you acted around me. At times, you'd put your knightly bravado on full display. At others, when I acted more like King Arthur, you'd refrain from looking at me in the face.. Your legend speaks as well, Knight of Treachery"

X began to pet Mordred's head as she looked up.

X: "I may not be your Father but I do see memories of her from time to time"

Mordred: "..."

X: "I remembered seeing one regarding you. How proud she was to have you as a knight, despite being a rather rowdy one. Always stirring up trouble for others"

Mordred laughed a little as X continued.

X: "About how miserable she felt in how it ended. How she wished things were different. Maybe some version of her did the correct thing and nurtured you to become a proper king once she decided to step down"

Mordred: "Screw that"

Mordred lifted her head up as she casted her gaze down.

Mordred: "I know I was never fit for being a king. Even know, I'm just happy to be someone's knight"

She looks over her shoulder to see Y/n and Gilgamesh walking over to see the battle ahead as Amagi races out of the camp.

X: "I see.. Mordred"

Mordred: "Yes Fa-.. X"

X: "I won't deny who I am. I may be my own self but at the end of the day, I am still King Arthur.. I wish.. I wish to grow closer to whom that is to be my child"

Mordred jumped a little in confusion at X's sudden remark.

X: "I may only be her in face but... I want to make up whatever time she neglected you for. I believe that one of Arthur's biggest regret was not raising right and rejecting your existence.. I'm not simply doing this for her.. I want to genuinely get closer with you if you'll allow me"

Mordred was in complete silence from the sudden confession.

Mordred: "Wh-?... You and I are merely servants serving our master. You wear my Father's face but aren't him. We shouldn't get attached to one another. We are meant to be nothing more than swords for our master to command.. yet?"

A few tears fell from Mordred's face as X brought the knight's face over to her chest.

X: "A knight should never show such a face infront of others. It shows weakness.. so I'll cover you so no one else can see it"

Mordred: "I can't help but want to apologize and follow you. I just want to be accepted.. I JUST WANT TO BE TOLD THAT I'M NOT JUST A TOOL!! I WANT TO BE LOVED!!.. Is that selfish?"

X: "No.. Humans have the right to be selfish sometimes... Mordred, I won't let you be alone anymore. Any hate or love that you have for your Father, let me take it. I'll carry it with me until the day I return to the throne"

Mordred grabbed a hold of X as she trembled a bit. X meanwhile, looked around so that no one saw Mordred express herself. She looked over to her master and smiled a little.

X: "I won't be doing the loving on my own though. Come on, I think I hear someone calling us"

She picked Mordred's head up and dried her eyes for her.

X: "After this, we'll go do whatever you want.. even go see Arthur after this if you want"

Mordred nodded and began to walk over to the rest as she walked a little behind X. She shakes her head and slaps her cheeks as she looks up with her usual smile.

Mordred: "I need it together. Master needs my help after all.. speaking of which"

X: "He needs all of our help"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amagi: "Everything okay?"

Akeno: "Just a bit more"

Akeno looked exhausted as she continued to pour magical energy into the ground.

Ahri: "You're doing a great job. Just a few more minutes and we can rest up"

Akeno: "I'm going to need to take a week off from everything"

She said while gently laughing.

Amagi: "Don't force yourself too much. If you need a break-"

Akeno: "I can manage.. It's important for the world so I have to do this.. Huh?"

She turned around to see Irisviel behind her.

Irisviel: "I'll lend you a hand then"

Akeno: "Thank you"

Amagi: "Commander is asking for all the hands he can get. He and Gilgamesh will take off soon. The rest will follow shortly to back up Gilgamesh in battle while our King goes to free Tiamat. You two, Irisviel and I will stay here to continue to work on the teleporter"

Ahri: "So while we do that, You and Irisviel will guard us?"

Amagi: "Yes"

Akeno: "Who will go to the battlefield?"

Amagi: "Gilgamesh, Mordred and Issei. X will stay in between both battlefronts. She will be there to make sure both beasts don't go back to killing each other. My sisters will go out to sea to provide support"

Ahri: "Are you sure we can handle this ourselves? We won't have much protection-"

Irisviel: "We'll be fine. If worse outcome comes and she arrives to our location, I'll set up a powerful barrier using my grail powers to keep us safe until Y/n or Gilgamesh comes"

Ahri: "I could help-"

Amagi: "Y/n specifically asked you to focus on this spell. He understands it will drain you from using it since you'll be sending a deity-esque enemy"

Ahri: "Alright.. Any idea if any of us will make it out?"

Amagi: "No clue. All we can do is pray that commander and Gilgamesh can pull her to the underworld where Alter will be. Merlin recently informed me that the cube is ready. They will have as much space as they want to duke it out. Alter is itching for the battle too"

Ahri: "That guy.. he really is master. He enjoys himself a good battle"

Amagi: "With the way they describe that weapon, I hope it lives up to its name and just destroys Kama"

Ahri: "A three headed attack from the same weapon should definitely do the trick"

Amagi: "The problem is they don't know how much power to use. Too much and it shatters the cube and all of reality with it. He informed me it isn't a weapon that's meant to be fired more than once. Three?! There's no telling what kind of irreparable damage it could do to the universe"

Ahri: "It's a gamble huh?"

Amagi: "A massive one"

Akeno: "Are they planning on using it instantly?"

Amagi: "No. They will see if the three of them could take care of her by themselves. Right now, they can't go all out or they risk destroying the world they are trying to save. Inside Merlin's cube, supported by some of the most powerful beings to keep it from collapsing, should be helpful in letting them go at full power"

Akeno: "Then I guess we better start working on this spell then"

Amagi: "I'll let the rest know so they can take off"

She pulls out a golden watch Y/n had given her.

Amagi: "Now's the time.. Ophis"

Ophis: "You called?"

She appeared out of nowhere with her usual smile.

Amagi: "Commander wishes you lend Issei your strength to achieve his Diabolos armor. Will you?"

Ophis: "For him, of course. After all, we did do a deal"

Amagi: "Thank you. I'll be back you three"

Irisviel: "We'll wait for you"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gilgamesh: "Everyones ready"

X: "3"

Gilgamesh: "2"

Amagi: "1"

Y/n: "It's time"

Behind us, Ophis stood behind Issei. She put a hand behind Issei's back and looked a little mixed feelings.

Ophis: "I hereby lend you my strength Issei Hyoudou. For 5 minutes, you'll be unbeatable. You will suffer some serious repercussions, even fatal, after this fight once your armor goes away. Are you ready for it?"

Issei: "Of course"

Mordred: "Master!!"

Y/n: "Mordred"

Mordred: "There's something I want to say"

She got down onto one knee and grabbed onto my hand. Gilgamesh's eyebrow lifted as he had a small grin on his face. He turned away and took a few steps forward as the rest simply got themselves ready.

Mordred: "I am a knight. I have a knight's honor to hold up. I failed you before by letting you get injured. I should of been there"

Y/n: "There's no-"

Mordred: "Please, allow me to finish"

I comply and nod.

Mordred: "I want to say it again. I swear by my Knight's honor, I shall not allow you to get injured. That is why I'll protect you. I know I may just be a third rate knight but.. allow me to continue to do my duty to be your sword"

Y/n: ".. You're one of my most trusted treasures. Even if you were to fail more than once, I would never abandon you. Remove that thought of failure from your head, raise your chin to the sky and fight for me as I will fight for you. For all of you. I will not allow any of you to not come back from this, is that clear?"

Everyone: "Yes"

Gilgamesh simply looks over his shoulder with that same grin.

Gilgamesh: "Rallying the troops aye? Definitely worthy of my approval. Even my own Clairvoyance could see he was my perfect successor"

Y/n: "Now everyone, let's go"

Everyone: "Yes my king!!"

Gilgamesh: "Everyone, come with me. X, you are our border that makes sure neither beasts intersects with one another once we separate them"

X: "I'll do my best"

Gilgamesh: "Dragon mongrel"

Issei: "Ready"

Ophis: "Remember, you only have 5 minutes"

Issei: "I'll use it wisely"

Gilgamesh: "Now, we march to the battlefield!!"

They all take off as I look at Tiamat.

Y/n: "I guess it's my turn now. Amagi, man the camp while I'm gone. Stick to the plan and only make changes that result on the best outcome"

Amagi: "Of course... good luck commander"

Y/n: "I'll need all of it"

I summon Vimana infront of me and climb onto it before taking off.

Back on the ground, Tiamat let out a powerful blast from her mouth as Kama uses her weapon to cut through it. She appears next to her punches the Beast of Beginning with enough force to break part of one of her horns.

Tiamat: "LAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"

She let's out a loud cry before lifting her palm and smashing Kama to the ground.

Kama: "Aaahh!!!"

Kama fires a black ball onto Tiamat's face that blinds her temporarily. She escapes and charges at Tiamat and knocks her to the ground.

Kama: "You damn beast-"

A punch sends Kama flying to the ground. She shakes her head a little as she fixes her jaw.

Kama: "Who did tha-"

5 different golden weapons smash into Kama's face as she fires beams in all directions as she gets furious.

Gilgamesh: "What's wrong beast? Don't tell me that was enough to shut that annoying voice of yours?"

Kama: "Gilgamesh"

She growled as she saw someone beside him.

Kama: "Who the hell-?"

Issei: "Dragon shot!!!"

He fires a powerful shot at her and manages to do a lot of damage.

Gilgamesh: "You'll be fighting us now"

Tiamat: "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

Everyone except Gilgamesh looks over at the beast as she starts making her way over to them.

Gilgamesh: "Don't worry about her"

Suddenly, golden chains wrapped all around Tiamat. They pull on her with an incredible amount of force that it drags her back. She falls to the ground and looks over to see the culprit.

Y/n: "Tiamat!!! You're fighting with me"

Tiamat: "AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

Y/n: "You... You fool!!! How dare you let me do this to you!!! Why didn't you say anything.. No. Now's not the time to go over regrets"

Tiamat: "LAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

She fires her wave attack which I start to evade while on Vimana.

Y/n: "Tia- No. Beast of Beginning. Beast II!!! Even if your mind and body are corrupted, I won't give up on you!!!"

I open a few gates and rain some artillery on her.

Tiamat: "AAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"

Y/n: "I refuse to lose you!! For that body belongs to my mother and I will not allow you to take and use it as you please!!!"

I use Enkidu to wrap around her and hold her down as I drop a nuke on her.

Y/n: "So that's why, even if I have to damage it now. I'll repair it later. I'll make sure she comes back to me!!"

Tiamat: "LAAAAAAAAA!!"

Y/n: "Keep firing. Babylon!!!"

More golden swords appear as I start flying head first into Tiamat. I get a quick glimpse at the past. Her opening her arms to me with that same warm smile. Only uttering a single word.

Tiamat: "Child!!"

A massive gate appears from above.

Y/n: "Ig-Alima!!"

A giant sword comes from the heavens and falls straight onto her. Another gate opens up next to hand as I grab the weapon from the handle and pull it out.

Y/n: "Gram!!"
