Q:Sugitani Zenjubou

Raaahhh!

R:Ptolemaîos

Take this!!!

Asterios?

I see... If this keeps up, I have no chance of escaping unscathed. It seems Chaldea's fearsome reputation is well deserved.

Your orders are timely and clever. Your time spent working with your Servants has paid off in spades.

Each Heroic Spirit is their own person, and spectacularly unsuited to working together as a coordinated unit.

And yet, you're able to command your motley crew with aplomb. Though this skill seems less to rise from innate talent than it does from broad experience.

R:Ptolemaîos

Ha. You still refuse to reveal who you are, yet you claim to have us all figured out?

Asterios?

If I were to stay in this form, I expect you and I would have a very good match indeed after a few back-and-forths.

But, now that I have better adjusted to this vessel, I no longer need to remain in this form.

Your choice

Huh!?

Asterios?

?!

Da Vinci

No way. Was that

Mash

Chaos Tide!?

Sugitani Zenjubou

Now it's a woman!?

Dark Girl

Chaos Tide. So that is what you call the primordial soup of dynamic life-forms.

I cannot say I appreciate being named for, of all things, chaos.

Q:Sugitani Zenjubou

I hate to shoot a woman, or something that looks like one, but I guess I got no choice!

Da Vinci

It's no use! Projectile attacks won't work on her in that form! In fact, it looks like her real body isn't even here!

G:Dark Girl

An excellent analysis. But analysis alone will not help you.

Ptolemaîos

Damn! She's still got shadow knights working for her! Stay close to me, Master!

Sugitani Zenjubou

Hey! We're in some shit here! We need a plan, or we are thoroughly screwed!

We can't even hurt the enemy general, so if we stick around, it's just a matter of time before the shadow knights cut us off!

Goredolf

G-good point! What are you going to do!?

Ptolemaîos

...Its real body isn't here. Then, where could it be?

Is there anywhere left in this Singularity it could hide?

Q:Sugitani Zenjubou

Hey, Ptoley, look out! They're headed your way!

Ptolemaîos

It's here, yet not here... Not here, yet, here...

Q:Sugitani Zenjubou

Damn, talk about nimble! Even when he's lost in thought, his spearwork doesn't miss a beat!

R:Ptolemaîos

This Singularity's unique properties... A land of only day and night... Three castles... Tears of the Holy Grail... Two versions of me...

...Two versions of me?

Da Vinci! You once communicated directly with the Library of Alexandria, yes!?

Can you check it now and see if there's a signal for my older self!?

Da Vinci

Huh? I mean, we do have the data from that call here, but wouldn't it still be your sig

Ptolemaîos

If you can do it, do it! Now!

Da Vinci

...Okay!

Hey, there IS a signal for him! That's weird. It's coming from the same coordinates as you, only not the same.

It's almost like there are two of you, each straddling separate space-times!

Ptolemaîos

I knew it!

Your choice

So, what does this mean?

So, there's another version of you in another space-time?

Ptolemaîos

?!

Sorry, I'll explain later. Right now, we have to figure out how we can use this to our advantage.

I may have figured out the trick, but it doesn't change the fact that we're separated. We still need a way to break through the Bounded Field.

If only I could use magecraft like Taigong Wang's...

Your choice

A way to break through a Bounded Field?

You mean like what he used in the labyrinth?

Ptolemaîos

?!

Right, I told you about this back in the labyrinth. If we only had a method of teleporting, then...

...Fujimaru!

Use a Command Spell to call me!

Your choice

Huh? But, you're already here.

Uh... Even though you're standing right here?

Ptolemaîos

?!

Not ME, me! The other me!

Goredolf

You want to use a Command Spell to teleport? But Chaldea's Command Spells aren't capable of that!

For that matter, I don't even know what you're talking about! What do you mean, call your other self!?

Ptolemaîos

Just do it!

It might be impossible in other Singularities, but right here, right now, I'm sure it'll work!

Dark Girl

...What are you up to?

Q:Sugitani Zenjubou

Hey! You wanna talk to them? You go through me!

R:Ptolemaîos

Hraaah!

Dark Girl

It's pointless. Step aside.

Q:Sugitani Zenjubou

Ptoley!

Dark Girl

You're not going anywhere.

You Heroic Spirits and your Master are all going to die here.

We can do this the easy way, or the hard

Ptolemaîos

Hurry, Fujimaru! Call the other me!

Your choice

To me, Ptolemaîos!

To me, Archer!

Ptolemaîos

?!

Dark Girl

I told you, you're not going anywhere.

Your choice

No way! She stopped the Rayshift!

I can't believe it! She stopped the Rayshift!

Dark Girl

?!

Q:Dark Girl

None of you are getting away. Neither you Heroic Spirits nor your Master.

You will all repeat this day-night cycle for eternity, fighting an unending battle.

You're going to keep fighting until your very souls are twisted apart by all the sins staining them...

???

No, I don't think we will.

Q:Dark Girl

You!

???

Yes, I figured you'd come here eventually. So I've been biding my time, waiting for this very moment.

Your choice

Is that

No way...

???

?!

Now, I think it's time you gave me back my Master!

K:Dark Girl

You're Tai

???

By divine decree, let a hundred evils be cut down, and a thousand spirits driven forth!

Dark Girl

It can't be!

How!? How did you get here!?

???

Haha! I wasn't just tooting my own horn when I said I qualified as a Grand Servant! A little time was all I needed!

Now, let's go again!

By divine decree!

K:Dark Girl

Ghh...!

No... My dimensional locks...!

Your choice

You did it!

Now we can

K:Dark Girl

?!
