Episode IV: Awakening of the Universe

Okita, that is the origin of evil that misleads men's hearts. That is the mountain of taboo that I must take care of.

All right, let's go cut that down as fast as we can. That is both your strength and what redeems you...

Other than that, you are useless. All you're good for is killing people

Ah, how depressing This is your fault, Okita; not mine

Hold on. It's true that I don't care about justice or evil, but what you're saying, Hohenheim, annoys me.

To be perfectly honest with you, you're like Mori Soiken, an immoral beast that tells haughty moral tales.

It appears you have realized that you've been deceived, but who cares. One-stone-two-birds-calibur!

Whaaat? But I wanna join you guys too! Not even the Mibu Wolf would kill opponents who've surrendered!

Ahh, how regrettable... Again it ends without my true intentions being understood... But still, it is fine...it is fine...

One as inhumane as I... It is my providence to be dispersed soHaa!

Why are you looking all satisfied? Are you the type that dies all self-satisfied no matter what?

Now! Destroy them, Sieg! The treasure is before you. Do with it as you please!

No! Don't listen to such honeyed words! We must all get along! We must work together!

Just think of her as the devil standing on your shoulder, birthed from the evil in your heart!

Oh, by the way, I am the angel standing on the other shoulder, born from the goodness in your heart!

See! Away with the pain, away with the pain☆ This magical powder removes all your troubles☆

Ugh, my head hurts... I think I'm hearing voices again!

When I fell in the cave, I dropped Balmung into the spring... Then a goddess named Stheno asked...

"Which witch did you drop? The older witch or the younger witch?"

When I answered that I hadn't dropped either one, I started to hear the voices of two women...

And now they each murmur to me, "I may order you around a lot, but for now I want you to go to that rocket and steal the treasure!"

This is awful!

Sieg is completely the victim here! Senpai, you have to do something to help Sieg.

I would let it pass since he seems so humble, but what the hell is Medea-Lily-calibur!

Eek! My hood has come off! My real identity will be revealed!

I had to leave again because I got misunderstood!

Ugh! I guess I wasn't hearing voices... Please forgive my thoughtlessness for being easily deceived...

Excellent! Excellent! This is a truly wonderful result! Do not let any Saber Class live! To be sure!

...Are you sure that was all right, Ms. X? It seemed like all three of them would have understood if we had just talked to them...

X is the only one who wouldn't understand if you talked to her. Why do you despise the Saber Class so much?

You must certainly have a reason. Or maybe... You hated them when you were alive?

No, I didn't hate them when I was alive! This became my mission after I became a Heroic Spirit.

To be exact, this is more of my own personal hobby. Nobody is forcing me to do this.

What? Are you serious!? Even after becoming a Servant, to achieve your own goal...

X! You certainly are optimistic. I'm not sure I much like the tyrannical attitude, but I admire your avariciousness!

There are so many boring Servants obsessing over their regrets in life or over their Master's purpose or whatnot.

Such obsessions are so foolish! But not you! You are free! Though this may not be praise, I like you!

Uh... Yeah... Right. I'm not sure how I feel about you liking me. *Sigh*

Umu, umu. Well then, you must be aiming to be the most powerful Saber, aren't you?

If so, then in the end, you and I must fight one more time. Though it is unfortunate, I will not scoff at your dream.

Dreams of being the strongest are the heart of a warrior. Yes, even I have dreamed of such!

Your space sword or my meteorite sword: which is better Now I'm getting excited about the end of this training!

I'm not excited in the slightest. I mean, you've been my main target from the very beginning.

...Also, you're mistaken about me having a dream like that. My objective is my mission. It's more a like a job.

If you're looking for someone who's striving for a dream That would have to be Lily.

Yes? Did someone mention my dream?

By the way, Lily, your goal is a little different than other Servants'.

For example, Mordred wanted...

Did you say Mordred!?

Oh, dear! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm just using her as an example!

Uh, a.k.a. Mo-san had the goal of becoming king. He held onto that goal from when he was alive.

However, your goal, Lily, was born after you became a Servant. Your aim is to be the ideal king.

You may be born from the tale of King Arthur, but since you're an "if" separated from it...

In a way you're saying, "I am alive now." You intend to live your life from now on.

Hmm. So, taking a position of fantasy can be a good thing.

Originally, Servants only existed in Holy Grail Wars on Earth. There are no futures for them.

However, under certain conditions, for example, if they are regenerated by a Spiritron computer lifeform...

...or if they remain connected with their Master after the Holy Grail War, or if they're given a new body, then things will be different.

Those Servants are released from the shackles of their previous lives and become humans of that era that live now.

I once heard of a happy-go-lucky Rider that was in that position...

No, wait, that was an Apocrypha. Well, I guess that itself is a distant "if."

Well, as a lower Heroic Spirit, you get recruited for lots of random jobs. I've simply gathered a lot of information.

Think of it as nothing but idle chatter. It's just a digression.

It's just one of those Extra things, you know. If you're really interested in it, then...

Ah-ha! My fox ears felt a prick because they caught the scent of some kind of signal.

You there, Archer. What nonsense is that?

This is a healthy land we're in, so talk of tales in a fantasy land is not needed here.

That is to sayIf you act too clever, then I will squish you like an ant♡

...Ahem! Pardon me, I let my tongue slip. Please continue.

？！

Damn you, Archer. You stole the spotlight from me. That was supposed to be my moment.

However, I like that phrase! A Servant that "lives now," is it? How fascinating!

It seems that I'm not one of those Servants, but Lily is one of them.

I think it's good that a Servant that dreams of the now exists instead of just dreaming of memories of their past life.

Basically, that means that one shapes one's own ending! Suddenly, I feel that I must support Lily!

Shape... My own ending? So if I became King, then my destiny after that...as well?

Of course! The past has been written, the future has been decided...

The Heroic Spirits of the past can change nothing, much less those in the Throne of Heroes who know the future.

However, as for those in the now, they can alter the past and future!

Yes, because only those that live now can change the future!

Hey! Hold on there, Saber! I appreciate the positive thinking, but take a look over there.

Looks like some others have been caught by this crazy Singularity, so now we have some more uninvited visitors.

What good luck, Babbage! This is obviously a spacecraft!

I saw one at the Smithsonian, so I know. You could fly to the moon and treat yourself to Princess Kaguya!

I quite approve of such barbarous thoughts, Mr. Golden. Your suggestions are always quite stimulating. On rare occasion, they actually give me tingles.

However, that rocket is incomplete, or rather flawed. It lacks cogwheels. It lacks a lubricator. It lacks a steam engine.

The only thing I can deduce from the preceding issues is thus. I must reconstruct the spacecraft myself.

No, you mustn't, Babbage. You, of all people, how could you overlook the most important flaw?

It does not require electricity! That kind of technology should not exist!

Besides, what is this no-risk, no-pollution, no-Tesla dream energy?

At least call it Nikola Coil! Are you mocking me with this Altrium!?

That's what he gets upset about? That poor genius...

Um, excuse me. This is a sword training ground, so those who aren't Sabers...

Nay. We are eligible persons. We have come here following the lens.

That's right! For some reason, this lens that fell from the sky fits exactly in the palm of my hand.

Since then, I've heard a voice telling me to come here. It's been going on about defeating some source of evil in space.

It's real annoying, like it's latched onto me. When I heard about an evil from space, I couldn't back down.

In fact, I've been looking forward to this! You know the kind of anime they show in summer and stuff, right?

You know! During summer vacation, they have those ones where they fly into space and kill some villain and save the princess and stuff!

Damn! I just love a good adventure! As a guy, it's the kind of thing you'd love to do just once!

So, whether you like it or not, I'm helping myself to that spacecraft! I'm gonna have myself a little spin in it!

Kintoki... You're becoming more and more American all the time... This is why Shuten drinks...

Oh, she's not drinking out of desperation but more for entertainment. I mean, a guy as crazy as this, it's the perfect side dish for first class sake.

Hey! If it ain't Fox! Hey, are you friends with that woman?

You sure as hell better not call her here! If you did, this place would be a battlefield!

Why the hell would I want to expose your love affairs? Don't worry. I wouldn't call her here even if you asked me to.

You can be a dumb couple all by yourselves. That's not the kind of thing anyone else needs to see.

Whew... That was about to get dangerous...

That woman is unsurpassed in crushing a man's dreams. She's the same kind of devil as that Stheno chick...

...Huh? Captain☆Nikola? You are the Captain, right?

The one and only, lady lacking in physical charm. I am the one and only Nikola Tesla

With the help of Bell, I intercepted your conversation from ten kilometers off

Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps.

In that Servant-verse you speak of, namely in Universe, is there a genius of my caliber!?

What? But aren't you Captain☆Nikola, the rival of the Dark Doctor, Sanity Gilles?

Good heavens!

This is unbelievable! Unbelievable, all of you!

Even on a scale as large as the universe, I have been proven to be a genius!

...

Looks like we won't need to do any more gathering... Huh? Emiya-senpai, have you noticed something?

No, I haven't noticed anything or realized anything. But I think we must battle that group.

I just remembered something I have to do, so I'd like to get back as soon as possible. Lily. I would like to see how your skills have improved.

Yes, if you would like, Emiya-senpai! Let's go, Fujimaru!

Oh, I'm terribly sorry, you in the sunglasses! My hand slipped again. Are you all right?

HffThat...was...golden...

Hmm. If I am to be destroyed by something from the universe, then I am quite satisfied...

I have but one question, Lady X. Is my name not Doctor Lightning where you are from?

It has only ever been Captain☆Nikola. Why do you ask?

So... Captain, is it?

Over 80% of moving parts damaged. I judge further operation to be impossible, so I will self-destruct.

...However, a Servant that dreams... That has a nice ring to it. Truly...nostalgic.

Whether they are insignificant bliss or overblown fantasies, dreams are a human privilege. That is what I learned in that city.

However... You, lily-white knight, and you, Master...

The obstruction to that dream isn't far at all. From the data that I have collected, I have elucidated her goal.

Don't misjudge... Even if the actions are born from good intentions, there is no justice in those that come from the future.

That spacecraftis not a vehicle fortransporting dreams

Kintoki, Nikola, and Babbage have all disappeared with this Singularity.

We were also able to retrieve the spacecraft part that they had acquired.

Could what Babbage have said...

？！

...Ms. X...

Babbagen...you are a scholar in this world as well. But you look like a tea kettle.

Well, I guess I have no choice. At this point, why don't I tell you the truth behind my real purpose?

Why does Heroine X attack the entire Saber Class? The details are in the next episode!

Next, Lily Wars, the final episode! "Let your tears flow, said the Saber."

Don't miss it!

Oh, you mean, this episode was just drawing out the story?
