Section 8: Yggdmillennia

The hell's going on here!? They just keep coming no matter how many we kill!

And what the hell is this? He's weirdly hard to fight! It's like one minute it's a Saber, then an Archer...

It is most likely all of them!

He's using data from all seven of our classes to give himself an advantage against us!

What!? Isn't that cheating or something?

It is one of the fundaments of combat!

In battle, you strike at your opponent's weaknesses, and make the battle as difficult for them as possible.

...But, with that in mind...

...there is no reason we can't do the same.

Sir Sieg, Master, please keep the orders coming!

The Greater Grail is basing its pseudo-combatants on our battle data.

It must be choosing classes and tactics depending on the current situation.

Fair enough. Then let's do this:

Have all thirteen of us and Sir Sieg work together.

If Darnic's residual thoughts refuse to shut down of their own accord, we will just have to overwhelm them with combat data until they collapse in on themselves!

Sounds fine to me. Our job is the same either way.

Master of Chaldea, your orders, please.

Hmm. These may not be my true gardens, but they are still mine.

I suppose it would be amusing to completely obliterate them.

If I may, Empress, have some consideration for us noncombatants! That includes Master, you'll recall!

No.

I think you may have gotten on her bad side.

...But, no matter. If that is our plan, I'll go ahead and use the walls to make more golems.

？！

...? ...???

Uh, uh.

...Okay, she says we just gotta pound his face in!

Did you really just take instructions from a Berserker?

Shut up, you freakin' exhibitionist!

Wha...!

How dare you call me an exhibitionist!?

(Hmm... She still went back to her old outfit, though.)

The lines between good and evil are ill-defined in this. We are not fighting as proper Servants, either.

...But then again, there has never been such a thing as a perfect person.

Instead of lamenting that which we lack, let us fight here and now for that which we already possess!

...Now I get it.

？！

Well, I was so caught up in my own responsibility to fix this predicament...

...that I forgot they have their own responsibilities as heroes.

Even if they are just copies, they still have pride. Without that, a Servant is no more than a shadow.

Fujimaru, we need your orders now more than ever.

This is the final battle, the last chance we'll likely ever have to fight by each other's sides.

It'll be sad to go our separate ways, but it's time to wake from this dream.
