 The Greater Grail. The immortal wish granter sought by every mage throughout history. Stolen following the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki, it remained missing for 60 years. Hidden away as the world moved on and its legend began to fade back into Myth. That is until today. The day when it resurfaced in the European country of Romania. Now Mages from all over the world prepare as two sides form to take the grail. The first, the Mages' Association. The premiere collective of magi from across the planet. With exacting standards their forces are well trained and ready to strike, but many have been caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the grail. Still, one of the greatest mages alive and Ruler in the third war has been summoned to battle. Shirou Kotomine (aka Monathin) will Captain the Forces of Red. The second, the forces of Yggdmillennia. These mages have broken away from the Mages' Association. Furious at being held down they are more numerous and whilst some would not have met the Standards of the Mages Association, they have been preparing for this war for years. They have summoned the holy maiden, Jeanne D'arc (aka Snooze Cruise) to fight at their side and Captain the Forces of Black to victory. What comes is the greatest battle the world has seen. There will be happiness, anger, sadness, betrayal. Some will rise as heroes, some will fall as pariahs. But the question is, how much sacrifice, how much blood, the Grail demands? Regardless of the answer. It will have its fill. Part 1 - Organisation and General Mafia Rules Hello everyone and welcome to Fate Mafia: Soldiers, a mafia game for 42 people split across 2 teams and 2 threads, with 2 team captains. As you might imagine the rules for this game are a little more complex than a normal mafia game, but I'm confident that it'll be accessible and fun for those with no experience and challenging for those with plenty. The game will be run primarily through the game threads here and here on the forums. Out of thread communication will be handled through discord, at the discord server here. I'd appreciate when you sign up that you also confirm that you've joined the server and submit your discord ID, either here in thread or to me via PM. When you join discord you will land in a void. I'll be able to see who's there and when you're confirmed in the thread you'll gain access to the pregame chat channel. Your moderators for this game will be myself alongside the wonderful Bifauxnen. If you have questions or queries, please feel free to get in touch with either of us. I will be the main point of call for mechanical questions and with your consent I'll be keeping a list of all the decisions I make for reference later. Otherwise we're both very happy to hear your thoughts, either through discord or through PM on the forums. Beyond that, standard mafia rules will be in effect, with nuances and exceptions for the nature of the game that will be expanded upon in the rules below. Additionally, my own mafia rules will also be in effect: 1. Don't be poo poo to each other. This is a game, part of the game is having people react, but if you think you’re reacting badly, walk away, calm down, come back later. 2. Don't edit your posts. 3. Don't talk after you're dead. I'll send you a PM to an Obs doc if you want to chat poo poo. 4. Feel free to post after the hammer/during twilight about non-game stuff. 5. Flavour is flavour, you’re welcome to pursue arguments on it if you want. However, scum are backed by elaborate fakeclaims. Additionally whilst I try to retain flavour justification for many abilities, they will not always match expectations. 6. No replacements after D2. 7. Don't directly quote any communication from me, including your role pm. If you have OOT communication with another player, the rule still applies. 8. Don't fake day actions. 9. If you are affected by a Day Action, do not post under any circumstances until we post the result of the Action. Everyone else is good to keep going. 10. There are no cults or cult mechanics in this game. 11. No codes, or encoding stuff in images. A note about result language 1. A result that successfully targets will yield the result. ""You successfully x your target"" 2. A result that does not successfully target will yield the result. ""Your action fails."" 3. If a player name is ever mentioned as part of a result, this is a mod error. 4. A ""successful"" target is defined as an ability resolving on someone. This does not have to be the intended target, so a redirected result will yield the same language as a result that has not been redirected. As a final aside, this will be the last game of mafia that I moderate or play. So if you're nostalgic for the brand of madness that only comes through my incredibly warped mind then please sign up and enjoy one last ride." Signups:

Part 2 - Soldier Game Specific Rules and Structure A soldiers game is a mafia game with two teams. Each team is captained by a player who is confirmed town and who may not be nightkilled. Each team has their own thread and may only communicate within their thread. The Team Captains are: Monathin - As Shiro Kotomine - Ruler of Red and Captain of the Red Faction.  Snooze Cruise - As Jeanne D'arc - Ruler of Black and Captain of the Black Faction.  Pregame Captains will draft their teams in a 1-2xxxx-2-1 draft before the game starts alongside their abilities, similarly in a 1-2xxxx2-1 draft. The captains will pick two players to be their advisors. These players willl be granted a masonry with their team captain and be able to offer private advice. However, these players might also be scum. Captains will choose the lurking rules they wish to implement for their threads from a list of choices made available to them. Finally Captains may choose to make an address in the OP of their respective team thread ahead of the game. Day Threads open marking the beginning of the day. Teams will play a game of mafia as normal during the day, trying to find scum players and vote them out. Scum players in a soldiers game represent spies sent from the other team. A soldiers game therefore plays out like a race. The team that is faster to remove their scum elements will be at an advantage. Before the Day's end the captains will nominate the players they wish to send to combat. If a day would end in a no lunch, then the OTHER team's captain may choose the lunch target instead. Night Night will look different to that of a normal mafia game. Pre-Combat 5 players, nominated by their captain will go to "Fight" on a battlefield for their team. These nominated players will use battle abilities to deal damage to each other, or if they are scum, undermine their own side. A pre-combat map will be posted, displaying the expected status of the forthcoming battle. All characters may submit "Pre-Combat" actions if they are available. Once the deadline has passed, these will be processed and we will move to the combat phase. Threads remain open for conversation during Pre-Combat. Combat Threads are closed. A finalised combat map will be posted, displaying the final status of all combatants in the forthcoming battle. The players on each side will fight each other for supremacy, using what combat abilities they have available to hurt the other side. The winning team is the team that a) Kills the most opponents. b) If the above is a tie, deals the most damage. c) If the above is a tie, has higher total HP at the end of the battle. d) If the above is a tie, the battle is declared a tie. The winning team progresses a space forward on the battlefield board, moving closer to their opponent's HQ. The players outside of combat will submit night actions as they normally would in a mafia game, with a standard night kill being part of scum's arsenal. Once a night has been resolved there is a brief twilight phase where the team captains may send a short message to their scum teams and talk poo poo at each other in the captains discord channel. Threads will then reopen, starting the new day. Victory A soldier's game is won or lost when either one team wins a victory on its opponent's HQ or a team's captain dies in combat. Part 3 - Fate Specific Rules All non captain players form teams of one Master and one Servant. Masters and their corresponding Servants share a channel for private communication. These are unconfirmed, so even though you might be a town player, your Servant or Master might be a scum player. Masters and Servants are linked, with Masters anchoring their Servants to the world. These rules are therefore in affect: 1. If a Master dies, their corresponding Servant also dies, unless that Servant is of the Archer Class or there is another live master with command seals without a servant available. 2. If a Master uses all their command seals, their corresponding Servant dies, unless there is a live master with command seals and without a servant available. 3. If a Master dies and their Servant contracts with a new Master, a new masonry channel is opened for the two characters. 4. If there are multiple servants available with fewer available masters, the servants that continue to live and die will be determined by RNG. Stats Every player in the game will have a variety of stats that determine the power of their attacks (Phys and Mag), their speed (Spd), or their overall health (HP). These will vary from player to player based on the power of their role and the power of their abilities. All characters will have Melee and Ranged attacks. The stronger of these attacks will be based on the primary attacking attribute a character has, the weaker, on the secondary attacking attribute the character has. Phys aka Strength - A stat that governs how hard you hit with Physical Attacks. Magic - A stat that governs how hard you hit with magical attacks. Speed - A stat that governs the order in which you attack. Higher speed characters will resolve their actions in combat before lower speed characters. 5 speed is the maximum speed, 1 speed is the lowest speed. HP - A stat that governs your health. If this hits 0 you die. Player Types Master Less powerful in combat, more powerful out of combat. May spend command seals to activate powerful Noble Phantasm attacks with their servants. Special Ability: Command Seals. All masters start the game with 3 command seals. They have these potential uses: 1. A command seal may be used as a pre-combat Night Action to activate a Servant's Noble Phantasm. 2. A command seal may be used on Reaction to the death of a servant in combat to withdraw that servant at 1hp. 3. A command seal may be used as a non-combat Night Action to heal a Servant's HP to full as long as they are not in combat." Servant Powerful in combat, limited out of combat abilities. Relies on Master to unlock Noble Phantasms, tremendously powerful and skills and abilities. Servants come in one of seven classes whose abilities as well as strengths are noted below. Classes  **ASSASSIN ADDENDUM** ASSASSINS CAN BREAK COLUMN RESTRICTIONS WITH THEIR ATTACKS AS WELL. Additionally both captains belong to the Ruler Class. On Numbers As you can imagine lots of information in this game is conveyed by numbers. It would very quickly spoil the game if the exact specifics of these were shared. To that extent, numbers related to stats or damage should NOT be relayed in the game threads at all. e.g. I can do a lot of damage in melee! Good I can do 5 damage in melee! Bad However, you are free to communicate these numbers with people that you are in a masonry with. So put simply: Numbers in Discord Good! Numbers in SA Threads Bad! Part 4 - Battle Map and Combat Rules Deployment Captains select 5 players at the end of the day, following the flip. Captains must place their players in by assigning them a Row and a Column. Captains must start by placing a player in Row 3. All subsequent player placements must be adjacent to another player. There must be at least one player in each column. Pre-Combat Players and captains are given a short window to declare any Pre-Combat abilities in this phase. These abilities typically, buff, debuff or alter the battlefield composition in some way. Combat Players declare their attacks by targeting a Row or Column. Column 1: Town players in Column 1 may only attack players in the opposing Column 1 with melee attacks. They may attack players in Column 2 with ranged attacks. Column 2: Town players in Column 2 may only attack players in Column 1. They must use ranged attacks to do so. Scum follow their own targetting rules.  Battlefields  Part 5 - Miscellaneous and Background. Flavour Sources If you want to know more about the flavour of this game, it leans very heavily on Fate: Apocrypha which can easily be viewed on Netflix. The game is completely playable without flavour and flavour will be tremendously limited in the amount it will help teams. The game additionally draws on: Fate Stay Night Fate Zero Fate Strange Fake Fate Extra Fate Grand Order. These provide very limited additions to the game and are certainly not required to play but are still fun enough to investigate on your own. Beyond that, thanks very much for getting through this and I hope you enjoy the game! Also, given we need 42 signups, I'd strongly encourage you to get anyone and everyone you know to sign up! Timing The aim is for this game to run in the first week of the new year. That makes game start January 6th 2020 or whenever we get full signups, whichever comes second. Days will be 48 hours, precombat will be 16 hours and combat will be 20 hours. In practice, this will give us a 4 day cycle. Changelog v1.0 - release version - please feedback if you have any questions! v1.1 - Corrected for a clarification on Assassin targeting powers.

Example 1. Introduction 2. Day 1 - A Non-Combat Day 3. Day 2. - A Combat Day with no Noble Phantasm 4. Day 3 - A Combat Day with a Noble Phantasm. 1. Introduction I am Bifauxnen, I am playing the Servant, Francis Drake. My Master is Sakura Matou, played by Minifauxnen. I have a these stats: (These do not represent average stats in the game, apart from speed which, being on a scale of 1-5 is necessarily average) Phys 3 Mag 3 Spd 3 HP 6 I have a Pre-Combat ability, Drake's Rum, which allows me to get drunk during precombat. I have a Non-Combat ability, Drake's Tactics, which lets me track a player. I have a Combat Noble Phantasm, Drake's Fleet, which allows me to hit everyone on the opposing side in combat for 1 damage. 2. Day 1 - A Day where you do not go to combat During Day 1, I and my thread play a game of mafia as normal. Our team realises that Nat20, the ever nefarious is scum and we vote him out. Day 1 ends in a Nat20 execution and a flip displaying that of course, he was scum. As Day 1 ended my team Captain, Australia chose for me not to go to combat. Day 1 Ends, Night 1 Precombat Begins  At the beginning of precombat I will see something like the above, indicating the players going to combat. During Night 1 Precombat, I use my Precombat ability, Drake's rum and get drunk. I submit this on my character sheet in CELL C26 - Night 1 Precombat. Night 1 Precombat Ends, Night 1 Begins Confirmed final teams are shown and here, I see that nothing has changed. During Night 1, I submit a Non-combat ability, Drake's Tactics, to track Natural 19, in Cell C27 A person dies in the battle on the Black team, meaning that the Red Team are declared the winners and so they advance a square from Bucharest to Trifas. Night 1 Ends, Day 2 Begins 3. Day 2 - A Combat Day with No Noble Phantasm During Day 2, I and my thread play our game, we vote out Natural 5, who is unfortunately town! Captain Australia choose me for combat today! Precombat 2  As you can see, I am in Row 3, Front Column on the BLACK team. (Highlighted in Green) Because Red lost the last battle you can see here that we are now Fighting on the TRIFAS battlefield. (In the top left) During Precombat 2, I use my Precombat ability, Drake's Rum and get drunk. I submit this on my character sheet in CELL C29 Combat 2 Confirmed final teams are shown here. Once again I see nothing has changed. During Night 2, I need to submit a COMBAT night action. As I am in the Front Column (Column 1, use interchangeably) , I can target enemies in RED Front Column with my MELEE attack. I can target enemies in RED Back Column with my RANGED attack. (If I submitted a ranged attack here, its power would be reduced by 1 due to Trifas' winding streets) I submit the action "Melee attack, Natural 1, Front Column, Row 3" in Cell C31 It is PREFERABLE that combat actions be submitted with a clear indication of the Player, the row and the column that they are in. However, the moderation team can operate purely from a player name in most cases. Most importantly. PLEASE ENSURE YOU SUBMIT COMBAT ACTIONS IN THE COMBAT ACTION ROW AND NON-COMBAT ACTIONS IN THE NON-COMBAT ROW. I am uninjured in combat and the combat ends as a draw! (Somehow, despite the really ridiculous criteria needed for a draw) I am told by the moderator "Your action succeeds" as I was able to hit a target. Or "Your action fails" if somehow I was not able to hit a target. This means the Battlefield remains the same for the next battle! The day moves on to Day 3. 4. Day 3 - A Combat Day with a Noble Phantasm Activation During Day 3, our team lunches Natural 4, who is also town! Once again, Captain Australia submits me for combat! Precombat 3 During Precombat 3, I talk with Minifauxnen who agrees to use a command seal to activate my NOBLE PHANTASM, Drake's Fleet. Because the last battle was a draw, we once again fight on the TRIFAS battleground. During Precombat 2, I use my Precombat ability, Drake's Rum and get drunk. I submit this on my character sheet in CELL C32 Combat 3 Again, nothing has changed here. I see from my Precombat results that my Noble Phantasm is active! (The result will read "Your Noble Phantasm is Active") If for some reason Mini had not activated my Phantasm, I would only see my results and there would be no AFFIRMATIVE CONFIRMATION that my noble phantasm is active. I submit "Use Noble Phantasm, Drake's Fleet" in Cell C34 Because Drake's Fleet targets all opponents, I do not have to specify a target for the ability here. If my noble phantasm was SINGLE TARGET, it would follow the same targeting syntax as a normal attack. My Phantasm resolves and I receive a message saying that "Your Noble Phantasm activated successfully", someone on Black dies and Red wins the battle, moving forward another space on the Board to Yggdmillenia Castle Natural 20 fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Jan 5, 2020 |

Mr. Steak posted:want me to shill this game in my neet thread next time i update? i feel we may need it Go for it! Sandwolf posted:Uhh can I just play this like mafia? Soldiers at its core is a mafia game like any other. It's about finding scum and winning with your team. It just has a fun side game that makes it more engaging for people coming into mafia fresh or those wanting a new spin. Natural 20 fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Dec 15, 2019 |

I'm actually stunned to say that we're at 19 signups already. Good work getting people in here! Please mention this to people you know who might be interested! Despite the rather lengthy rules, it's actually a pretty newbie friendly way to pick up mafia.

I'm kinda taken aback by this but there is one slot left. I launched this early because I expected it would take the entire holiday to fill the game, but apparently you guys all rule.

Shirou Amasuka prepared his defences. The Gardens floated majestically in the skies over Sighisoara. His loyal advisor Ritsuka Fujimaru stood at his side as her servant Semiramis prepared their defences. A tap here, a tweak there. Anything less than perfection was not good enough for the Empress of Assyria. “Do you think they’re going to unsummon me again?” he mused. “When have they not?” Ritsuka grimaced. Shirou smiled ruefully, “Well then I suppose I’ll have to leave the defense to you. Besides, I’m sure the Empress will have her way with the opposition.” Ritsuka smiled, taking solace in what confidence her leader still had. “Come what may, it’s been a pleasure to serve with you, even against these odds.” “And you as well.” * * * He was rude and uncouth. Yet his talent was remarkable. Jeanne regarded her ally with curiosity. How strange that the ability to temporarily re-anchor a servant in the world had proven to be such a pivotal power. “Make sure you don’t attack the Archer.” Gordes nodded, “She’s?” Jeanne nodded back, “One of ours, yes.” “SIEGFRIED” Gordes shouted. The reticent servant walked forward, two words escaping his lips, as if they took great effort, “Yes master.” “I need you to kill that lone master near their front line, she must be hurting by now.” A frown, “I would prefer to fi..” “I do not care who you would prefer to fight, you will act as I command and nothing less.” “Yes master.” Any other time, any other place, Jeanne would not have chosen to stand with such a man, but too much was at stake here. “Gordes, I think it’s time, remove Kotomine.” “As you wish Lady Jeanne.” A flash as Gordes’ command seal burned away, another as it was replaced with the last of Jeanne’s. Jeanne bit her lip as she saw her rival disappear. Kotomine had managed to avoid this just the night before, he was summoned to the battlefield so late that Gordes hadn’t been able to remove him. Why hadn’t he done the same today? Some gamble or ploy she wasn’t seeing? Worry plagued her mind and yet, she was winning, she had the advantage. Even if Kotomine sprung a trap that allowed him to win here today, she still had the resources to fight further. Even if she lost today, she could still win. Steeling herself, Jean charged. * * * Shirou found himself in a dimension that he was all too familiar with, falling through an endless sea of green, turning to blue and back again. How was he meant to defeat this? How could he be victorious in combat if he simply wasn’t allowed to fight! He landed, on the ground below the gardens, watching the battle unfold above. All he could do now was pray. * * * Achilles laughed. He’d dodged and ducked and weaved and when the Masters of Red finally came after him he’d managed to delay their wrath. And now, now he was all alone with two of them. Rotweil, Atalanta’s master bravely stood in his path. A yell “Get away Deimlet! Get back to the association, tell them what has happened!” Deimlet took no time in running, escaping away to the portal out of the Gardens. Achilles smiled, that was fine, his own precious Master wasn’t his target anyway. His spear took Rotweil’s heart. It was a pity, he’d wanted a challenge but they were all just too weak.  Nep-Nep, Master, Rotweil Bersinsky, Red aligned Bodyguard was killed! * * * Vlad III watched as Jeanne and those she had chosen attacked. He watched, powerless from the inside of a body that had been taken by Darnic. He watched, from a body that he despised, borne by a legend that he hated. * * * Darnic chuckled to himself. All in all this had worked out well for him. An immortal body that permanently sustained itself as long as he drunk enough fresh blood. That idiot Kotomine soon to fall. And another chance at the grail soon enough. After all what was another sixty years to an immortal? He’d withdraw, build his strength again and emerge to fight once more, but this time, without so many complications. But first he’d have to make his leave.  King Burgundy, Lancer of Black, Vlad III, Red aligned Fortress survived the Holy Grail war  Mr. Steak, Master, Darnic Prestone Yggdmillenia, Red aligned Tactician fooled you all He walked past the boy, the homunculus that Jeanne seemed to like. Sieg was his name? Sieg was preparing some ritual, making more golems in case the fight ran against his beloved Jeanne. Darnic walked past. Dracula thrust his hand out, lifting the boy by the throat. Perhaps a little snack first.  merk, Master, Sieg, Black aligned Backup was killed! * * * He only felt it for a moment. “Master?” He ran to the ruins where Sieg had been preparing. He wasn’t fast enough. He was a rider and he wasn’t fast enough. As he saw the glazed eyes of his master, the puncture wounds in Sieg’s neck. Astolfo cried. He cried and faded to nothing.  Lux Animus, Rider of Black, Astolfo, Black aligned Armour was killed! * * * It happened like a flash. The defences of the Gardens roared to life and a blast of pure light lanced from them. Gordes raised what meager shielding he could. The explosion took him off his feet. Barely holding on to consciousness he looked to Jeanne. He was alive. Somehow, her resistance to magic had protected him. Gordes fell into a deep sleep. * * * Semiramis smiled, Ritsuka and Shirou would be pleased. They despised that one. * * * Atalanta screamed, she howled in rage. They would pay, Kotomine would pay for the pain he’d put her through. She would rip the head off his toy soldiers, she would tear apart his allies, she would… But what if he won here. What if he kept fighting? Atalanta smiled. She would ruin him, not now, but in the future. She would make sure even in victory he knew defeat. “Very well, it's the time to hunt then.” She smiled. “This is an offering to the two Gods. Phoebus Catastrophe” Two arrows launched into the air, into the moon floating above Sighisoara. She laughed, she laughed so hard that she howled. She howled so hard that she roared. And as she laughed and howled and roared the voice she heard back belonged to an animal, not a person. * * * Jean Rum frantically dodged a blast of magic. She hadn’t signed up for this! She wasn’t a fighter, she was meant to support from the back line! All she’d wanted to do was meet Macbeth! Not run around with Shakespeare himself! This was insane! She’d barely survived the last battle and she was being sent to fight again! Still, her magic meant that the automatons were far faster than Semiramis had expected. They fell on the Berserker of Black, allowing Jean time to slip past. Gordes, that was his name, he was the key to the Black Faction’s power. If she could eliminate him then perhaps the Mages Association could mount a comeback. Sneaking as quietly as she could, she wove her way to the Black Faction’s back line. And there she found him. He wasn’t conscious? This was her chance, she could be a hero, imagine her standing if she returned, the victor of the Holy Grail war! Her hand pulled back. She hurled forward a knife edge of wind, a blade of air at her target. His head came off. Jean didn’t cheer, she could barely, speak. She’d done it! She was.. Saber of Black’s sword appeared in her chest.  IcePhoenix, Master, Jean Rum, Red aligned Gambler was killed!  Jonathan Fisk, Master, Gordes Musik Yggdmillenia, Black aligned Dismisser was killed! * * * His second life had been much like his first. Following the will of someone else, battling for the dream of someone else. He’d seen a glimpse of another path, a man, just like him. Lancer of Red. But that path had been taken away as surely as all paths to his desires and freedom. He wrenched Balmung free of the woman. It hadn’t been a bad life. His first life hadn’t been bad. But, it might have been so much more. Siegfried sat down. So, so, much more. He closed his eyes and faded to nothing.  Toalpaz, Saber of Black, Siegfried, Black aligned Elite was killed! * * * She knew what she had to do. All of her power, Blasted Tree, the Red would fall. Frankenstein felt her power grow, the lightning, the searing lightning build inside her. She didn’t realise she’d been attacked. She swung her mace at her attacker, only for another to take its place. And then another. Fighting through, she saw someone at commanding them, the master who fought with Koto.. She felt her arm tear off and then her leg, she felt the energy begin to dissipate. And just as they began to tear at her heart, she felt herself fade. Frankenstein didn’t know why she was in a field, injured but alive, but she was glad of it. * * * He couldn’t let her die. Roche stared, determined. He’d found someone, a friend that he treasured and valued. Sure she wasn’t human but his previous friends hadn’t been human as well. In fact, Roche concluded, humanity wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be, if wars like this were what they caused. As long as he lived, as long as he could learn with her, that’s all he really wanted. * * * Ritsuka smiled, they were winning. Gordes was out of the fight and even if they’d lost Jean, she was the weakest of them. A small price to pay for the prize of Saber of Black falling. She’d done her research. Frankenstein had been planning to self destruct, but employing the automatons correctly had put a stop to that and now the mechanical servant was off the field. Victory was in their grasp and if they won here, they might be able to come back, she might be able to fix the timeline and end the war. And, a part of her conceded, she really wanted to win for Shirou. All things considered, he’d been a good friend. * * * She was losing. She was losing at the last hurdle. She hadn’t anticipated the garden defences being so fierce. Why hadn’t Atalanta attacked anyone? She’d just shot arrows into the air? Gordes had fallen. She didn’t know how she knew, she just did. Frankenstein had been defeated before she could deal the coup de grace. Shirou’s partner had somehow guided his forces to victory. She’d proven to as capable as him. They’d baited Jeanne. They’d led her further and further into their own territory to further their advantage. And she’d fallen for it. Every step of the way. Had God forsaken her? Did He have another plan? No. This wasn’t how this was supposed to end. Every human, every person in the world was counting on her. She’d win. Jeanne D’arc drew her sword. She’d win. Even if it killed her. “The heavens tell of God's Glory The skies proclaim His handiwork Speeches poured forth during the day and knowledge during the night A fire has ignited within my heart and continuously burn to remind me This is where I meet my end My destiny now runs it course My life's dream has reached its conclusion Utilizing the last thing i have left at my disposal I fight to protect the path He must walk Lord, accept my sacrifice  LA PUCELLE!

Monathin, Ruler of Red was killed with a Poison Kiss The Red Faction was defeated * * * He didn't know when she'd gone mad. He hadn't realised she'd transformed until it was too late. He hadn't been able to stop her. But he needed to stop her now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a557D-vXto  Hal Incandenza, Archer of Red, Atalanta, Black aligned Metamorph was killed!  Murmur Twin, Rider of Red, Achilles, Black aligned Armour was killed! It was a good life and she'd been a wonderful friend. Hal Incandenza, Atalanta and Murmur Twin, Achilles , won the Holy Grail War * * * They got the Grail! The world is... "Who got the Grail Deimlet?" "Jeanne, the Black Faction!" "Did you see Darnic there?" "No? He wasn't at the battle." "Then it does not matter." "What do you mean it doesn't matter? We died for you! "It does not matter because you do not matter Deimlet and as long as Darnic didn't get his wish then our job here is done." "This is an..!" "That will be all Deimlet, leave us."  SolusLunes, Master, Deimlet Pentell, Red aligned Watcher survived the Holy Grail War! * * * “So you’re saying we can use The Grail to return to our world?” She’d entered this war for one and only one purpose, to win and return home. Yet it was still strange to have succeeded alongside one such as him. Zouken cracked a worn smile. “Yes miss Tohsaka, with this we can get home.” “And nobody else wants it?” Rin questioned. “Who is left?” the old man questioned. “The boy wants nothing more than to live with that doll of his. The Holy Maiden has fulfilled her purpose in defeating Amakusa. Your Archer passed away long ago! Who are you going to give the wish to? My servant here?” The Assassin performed a semblance of a bow, a rictus horrifying motion that Rin would rather have not seen again. Rin was still sceptical. Sakura’s grandfather still terrified her, even after they’d fought together. But what else was she to do? “I wish to return home.”  Ruggan, Master, Roche Frain Yggdmillenia, Black aligned Tracker won the Holy Grail War.  The Ninth Layer, Berserker of Black, Frankenstein, Black aligned Torpedo won the Holy Grail War  dmboogie, True Assassin, Hassan, Black aligned Soldier won the Holy Grail War  Hunt11, Master, Zouken Matou, Black aligned Magician won the Holy Grail War Rin woke up. Today was the day she’d finally participate in a Holy Grail war for the first time! As soon as she summoned a Saber, she was guaranteed to win!  Sandwolf, Master, Rin Tohsaka, Black aligned Gambler was killed! * * * Jeanne felt herself burn. She felt her life turn to ash. And she felt the happiness of the billions of people she’d saved. But there was a gap. A hole that she could not fill. Someone important had died. Someone she was meant to be with. Alone as she fell away, into the void, Jeanne wept. “The Grail is more than just a bus between worlds little one.” That voice? “It can take you where you belong.” The Grail? “It can take you to the person you belong with.” It couldn’t be. “You just need to make the first step.” Jeanne looked upwards. “I wish…” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7TwbcmdGLQ  Snooze Cruise, Jeanne D’arc, Ruler of Black has won the Holy Grail War. merk, Sieg, has met her at Reverse Side of the World.
