    Posting another fic from Fanfiction here, I have up to chapter 4 made currently and am posting them all here.
    This fic will have some AU elements, Fusing all the Fate/Extra games into one timeline and stuff like that, but there will be some other stuff you'll discover in here.
    This chapter will basically be going over a decent amount of AU stuff in the Fate timeline, not all of it of course, I need to leave some surprises for you don't I?


    Hakuno Kishinami was not your average girl, she wasn’t beautiful nor was she incredibly smart (at least, that’s what she thought). In fact, everything around her seemed average. Besides the fact she wasn’t human at all, Hakuno was a program of the Moon Cell, an unfathomably advanced super computer inside the moon.

    She was also the Sovereign of the Moon Cell, a title rewarded to her after the winning the Holy Grail War, a contest in which magus competed with summoned Heroic Spirits, those who has committed legendary deeds and left their mark on history.

    Hakuno had summoned the roman emperor, Nero, a Saber class Servant. Together with Nero Hakuno had challenged many servants and their masters, including the Buddha himself. She also met Tamamo-no-Mae, a Caster class, Tamamo had fallen in love with Hakuno and entered a contract with her. Together the 3 of them survived the Holy Grail War, until a bug in the system occurred.

    BB, an advanced AI of the Moon Cell, trapped everyone on the far side of the moon. She had gone rogue thanks to the actions of Kiara Sessyoin, who desired to become a goddess. Hakuno could not find Tamamo or Nero, however a new servant made a contract with her, Emiya, an Archer class. However at times Hakuno would find her memory strange, almost as if another servant was replacing Emiya, a golden king. However this was likely just a glitch from BB’s tempering with the Moon Cell.

    Eventually, BB created 3 sisters from her own ego. These 3 were Passionlip, Meltryllis, and Kingprotea. Each was a terrifying threat, but Hakuno managed to conquer them 1 after another, eventually meeting up and reuniting with Nero and Tamamo. With all 3 of her servants together, Hakuno managed to defeat BB, even when she had gained the power of the Moon Cell.

    However, the true antagonist revealed herself at last, Kiara. Kiara had absorbed Passionlip, Meltryllis, Kingprotea, BB and even the origin of BB, Sakura. She had become a true goddess, and crushed the team of Hakuno and her servants.

    Falling into the abyss of the far side, Hakuno managed to awaken the origin of her Servants, boosting their power incredibly. With her servants stronger than ever, Hakuno challenge Kiara again, and against all odds over-came the goddess.

    With Kiara defeated and BB along with her Alter-Ego’s disappearing to who knows where, Hakuno was rewarded with the Regalia. The Regalia was the royal authority of the Moon Cell, granting its user the power of the Moon Cell. Using this authority, Hakuno and her Servants edited the Moon Cell as a place for life, with many servants without masters manifesting and AI attaining true free will.

    However a new threat emerged, the Umbral Star and the Titaness Altera. The Umbral Star could be considered the sibling of the Moon Cell, but instead of gathering data, it destroys planets in order to harvest them. Titan Altera was a world destroying force trapped inside the Moon, who managed to project a version of herself onto Earth, the White Titan.

    The White Titan almost destroyed the world 1000’s of years ago, but was defeated by the Holy Sword, Excalibur. Archimedes, once an ally to humanity, was corrupted by the Umbral Star into destroying the Moon Cell. Tricking Hakuno into entering the prison of Titan Altera, who was almost destroyed by the titaness, however using the Regalia, Hakuno split herself and the Regalia into 3 pieces. The Body of Hakuno stayed with Titan Altera, who used it as her master in order to manifest a smaller body to fight.

    The Mind of Hakuno went to Nero and Tamamo, who fought off an opposing team of Servants in order to try and regain the Soul of Hakuno, who had ended up in the hands of the missing BB. BB desiring Hakuno for herself, fought the Servant Duo, however this fighting was eventually interrupted by Altera, who almost killed them all.

    Forced to team together in order to face the overwhelming power of Altera, the Mind and Soul of Hakuno were fused back together, missing only the body. Eventually they marched to the Zero Dark in order to face Altera at the heart of her forces.

    The battle was long and devastating, 30% of the Moon Cell destroyed. Altera was defeated however, but her master, the body of Hakuno, stood in the way of the opposing forces. Unable to harm a version of their beloved master and seeing Altera in a new light thanks to previous interactions with her, Altera was spared and the Body of Hakuno was fused with the already mixed Mind and Soul, finally putting Hakuno back together.

    Archimedes however had one last trump card, he transformed Titan Altera into Velber 02, Sephyr. Sephyr rampaged and destroyed almost all of the Moon Cell, forcing everyone to retreat together. With the Moon Cell nearing absolute destruction and Altera starting to fade away because of her connection to her titan self being cut, it seemed the end was upon them.

    However BB revealed there was a way to defeat Sephyr, Moon Crux Origin. An upgrade to the Moon Crux transformation, which occurred by using the Regalia upon a Servant. Moon Crux Origin however, occurred by using the Regalia and bringing out the Origin of a Servant, this transformation was extremely powerful and allowed them to finally defeat Sephyr.

    With his greatest trump card gone, Archimedes fell completely into despair, leaving him vulnerable to the Ark of the Stars, the ship which Titan Altera had stayed inside. The Ark consumed Archimedes in order to power its own systems, turning into a weapon of destruction that may have been equal to even Sephyr.

    With their energy depleted, the servants and Hakuno could do nothing to defend themselves against the Ark. But Altera, who had bonded deeply with Hakuno, used the last of her energy to deal a devastating blow to the Ark. Inspired by Altera’s sacrifice, Nero picked up her sword, Photon Ray, and called upon its connected to the Roman Gods, calling the power of Venus into her body, becoming Saber Venus.

    Nero in her new Saber Venus form fought and destroyed the Ark, finally ridding the world of this piece of the Umbral Star. Using energy from both Nero’s Saber Venus form, and the Ark, Tamamo managed to re-create Altera a body, but this body was that of a child, and many of Altera’s memories had been damaged.

    With peace restored and Altera saved, the Moon Cell was finally at peace for a few months. However eventually another threat did emerge, Karl der GroBe. But with new enemies, came new allies, the French King Charlemagne. Karl and Charlie were both apart of the same origin, but split into 2 halves, fantasy and reality.

    Karl had created a spell called Orcaliziation, a form of brainwashing that kept the personality and beliefs intact, but bound the victims under Karl’s will. He wished to unite the world, and wanted to conquer the Moon Cell to achieve this.

    However during the fights against Karl, it was revealed that he had past interactions with the White Titans corpse, which granted him visions. Karl truly wished for peace, but went about it the wrong way. Eventually in a final battle, Karl used his Noble Phantasm to battle against the servants against him, but was defeated. Both Charlemagne and Karl started fading away, neither able to exist without the other.

    Grieving over the loss of both, Hakuno and Altera managed to figure out a way to bring both Charlie and Karl back, with their own separate spirit origins. At last, peace had truly been restored to the Moon Cell.

    But, while Hakuno had managed to save her own world, there was another deeply in need of help. And just because they had destroyed one piece of the Umbral Star, hasn’t erased its origin… and of course, no matter how small, the destruction of one piece, would grab the attention of its whole.

    That's the big basics of this AU, there is some other stuff but that will come up later.

    {Moon Cell contacting someone}
    {Hakuno messaging the Moon Cell}
    [Servant Telepathy]
    “Talking Aloud”
    ‘Thinking’

    Hakuno couldn’t shake the feeling something bad was coming, she wasn’t sure where this feeling came from, and everything was okay in the Moon Cell for once. Nero wasn’t planning any music concerts, while Tamamo was happily making dinner, Charlie hadn’t got into another fight with Karl, and Altera hadn’t unleashed her Noble Phantasm on a random ‘Bad Civilization’.

    [​IMG]

    The rest of the Servants were calm and besides some very… enthusiastic sparing some of them do, there wasn’t any damage that couldn’t be fixed by a simple code cast. The civilians, both Wizards and AI, were happy and joyful under the Lunar Empire (What Nero had taken to calling all the territories under Hakuno’s command).

    Yet the young sovereign couldn’t shake it, her experiences in the Holy Grail War and against the Umbral Star had gifted her with a strong instinct for when danger was approaching. It wasn’t like she didn’t have proof of something up ether, the Moon Cell had been running many different programs she couldn’t even begin to understand the complexity of. Even BB couldn’t tell what it was doing, and she was one of the experts on the Moon Cell.

    Shaking her head, Hakuno decided to focus on it later, Tamamo had recommended gathering the smartest Servants and Wizards together in order to try and understand the programs the Moon Cell was running. Standing up from her throne, Hakuno walked through Mare Aurum, the falling rose petals and statues as beautiful as she remembered.

    Anyone who saw Hakuno bowed as she walked past, while the girl had gotten used to this, it still felt strange having everyone treating her as a king, which was Nero’s territory, not hers. However while walking around, Hakuno was rather shocked when she got a message. Not from Nero, Tamamo, or anyone else she knew, but from the Moon Cell itself!

    {Sovereign, gather a List of Servants and prepare for file transfer}

    What? Hakuno had NEVER had the Moon Cell contact her personally, when asked it brought up files on whatever she was interested in, it also sometimes sent NPC’s to inform of her things, but this was new and worrying.

    {Moon Cell, what’s going on?}. Hakuno was worried, very worried. Why was the Moon Cell contacting her? She needed to know.

    {Danger to Kaleidoscope, gather servants and prepare for file transfer}

    Kaleidoscope? Hakuno had no idea what that was, but she remembered Rin mentioning it before. Something about manipulating parallel universes? And what did the Moon Cell mean by file transfer? Hakuno knew whatever was going on was big, so she defiantly needed her stronger servants for help.

    [Gather in the throne room of Mare Aurum, somethings up with the Moon Cell]. Hakuno telepathically told a select group of Servants, and started heading back towards the throne room.

    By the time Hakuno arrived, a few Servants had already arrived. And a certain blond beauty was already rushing towards Hakuno.

    “MY PREATOR!”. A beautiful voice came from the stunning blond beauty, who grabbed Hakuno and twirled her about. “What evil has dared to come upon our beautiful empire? Does the darkness again seek to claim you from me?”. While this woman was rather dramatic, her eyes held only pure love and adoration for Hakuno, the roman emperor Nero Claudius, the first Servant of Hakuno… and her wife.

    [​IMG]

    “Hey! I want some time with my Husband!”. Another stunning woman shouted, her pink hair combined with her fox ears and tails made a supernatural presence. “I was cooking a divine dinner for my dearest husband before it was interrupted! Whatever caused this will get 1000 whippings!”. Tamamo-no-Mae, 1 of the 3 great monsters of Japan. While she was a monster that had slain over 100 heroes, she was also the dearly devoted second wife of Hakuno.

    [​IMG]

    “Hakuno! Man it’s been to long! You’ve been so busy lately that we haven’t got to hang out, it’s so awesome to do something again! And with such an awesome team of servants to!”. Exclaimed a young man, Charlie, or Charlemagne. He was the fantasy aspect of the holy emperor Charlemagne, while Karl was the reality. He was a man who was driven by ‘How awesome’ something was.

    [​IMG]

    Emiya was silent, however he was ready to do whatever it took to protect people. He may be a cynical and sarcastic man, but he still held his ideals deep in his heart.

    [​IMG]

    There were many other Servants here, each as legendary as the last. From Jeanne d’Arc, to Medusa, to even Francis Drake. However as Hakuno looked about, she noticed a certain Servant extremely close to her heart was missing.

    “Where’s Altera?”. Hakuno asked about her… Daughter? Sister? Friend? Even Hakuno wasn’t quite sure what Altera was to her, but she knew Altera was one of the most important people in the world to her.

    “Sis was feeling really tired, so the other me is keeping an eye on her. I don’t think it’s anything bad, just using too much energy and needing some rest”. Charlie explained, Hakuno was slightly worried, but surely Karl would never let anything happen to Altera, and would inform them if something happened.

    {Servants gathered, ready for file transfer? Y/N}

    “Ready?”. Hakuno asked her Servants, who all nodded or gave some sign of agreement. With that, Hakuno clicked yes.

    Some Servants fell to their knees from the painful headache from information forced into their brain, while others only winced or had a pained expression. Hakuno didn’t even notice as she fell down, but was grabbed by Nero before she could collapse into the ground.

    “Now… that wasn’t expected”. Emiya said, his expression slightly shocked and leaning against the wall. Servant or not, having information on an entire alternate world and the hyper-advanced alien parasites connected it shoved into your brain, is going to hurt.

    “Ow ow owwww! Couldn’t the Moon Cell have just given us some books or something? That hurt!”. Charlie complained, holding his head and shaking it.

    “That timeline, I’m fairly certain I’ve seen it before, back when I was… more”. Tamamo stated, trying to recall memories from when she was one of the Greatest Evils of Humanity. But they were blurred, to ancient to fully recall.

    “My Praetor! Are you okay? Do you need water? A bath? Food? A massage? My beautiful singing voice?!”. Nero asked worryingly, she by far was the most used to having random headaches and had recovered the fastest, the sight of her love almost slamming into the floor shocking her into worry.

    “I’m fine Nero, too much information…”. Hakuno replied, getting back up onto her feet. The information she just had shoved into her head was shocking, a world of superheroes, or capes. It was… disturbing if she was honest, even during the Age of Gods, where magic was everywhere, humanity had not fallen as low as that world.

    “So the Moon Cell wants us to what? Go be heroes for an entire world? As awesome as it would be, I’m confused why the Moon Cell would be interested in a random world”. Charlie asked, he was all up for saving people, but he was confused why the emotionless Moon Cell was so interested in it.

    {Moon Cell, why is this world so important?}. Hakuno asked, and when it took a bit too long to answer, Hakuno become suspicious. The Moon Cell didn’t think it kindness or fondness, it calculated in facts and logic, so if it wasn’t telling her something, it had a logical reason.

    {Access Denied}

    “w-what? What do you mean access denied! Regalia override!”. Hakuno couldn’t keep her shock quiet and even tried using the Regalia to override the Moon Cell’s programming.

    {Access Denied}

    Hakuno couldn’t believe this, while she had only used the Full Authority of the Moon Cell a few times, she believed the Regalia was a true ‘Cheat Code’, something which could fully command the Moon Cell. To have that denied, it was shocking.

    “Husband? Are you okay?”. Tamamo asked worried, her dearest husband was pale and shocked. She approached and took Hakuno’s hand. “Calm yourself Husband, whatever the Moon Cell wants, it would not endanger you”.

    Hakuno nodded, but her fears where elsewhere. She knew the Moon Cell wouldn’t allow harm to come to her, but her Servants? It could just resummons them.

    “Well, what are we waiting for?”. Emiya asked, and everyone turned to stare at him. “We need to save another world, and from the looks of it Heroes, or Capes, aren’t treated well. We’ll need to not only hide some of our abilities, but also make them ‘fit’ into this worlds system”.

    With that, the Servants started discussing ideas, occasionally asking Hakuno for approval. However Hakuno was too busy to be involved with how much… affection Tamamo and Nero were showing, each trying to out-do the other in shows of love.

    “We should create a Hero Organization! It’d be pretty awesome and we could try getting some heroes who aren’t apart of those… government things”. Charlie suggested, many agreeing as from the Moon Cell’s info dump, rogue heroes were essentially forced to join Government Heroes.

    “Perhaps infiltrating a villains gang?”. Hakuno wasn’t quiet sure who suggested this, but she was sure it was one of the villain or anti-hero servants. She’d freely admit she didn’t like the idea of any of them joining a villain gang, even if it was only to infiltrate.

    If one where to visit Brockton Bay they would immediately notice a few things, it was frankly a horrible place to live. Many buildings were damaged and covered in gang graffiti and homeless could be seen in many places.

    Of course this wasn’t true for all of Brockton Bay, but it could be considered the truth for most areas. Sure every now and again you’d find a nice area, but those were usually devoted towards areas where Capes patrolled often.

    But on this day, if one were to look into one of the many alleyways of this town, they would see a flash of light and 2 people appearing. One male and one female, both incredibly attention catching with their looks and the way they held themselves.

    The woman was beautiful, long pale purple hair flowing freely. She was tall and seemed to be the very vision of beauty to many, her eyes were covered by sunglasses so dark it was near impossible to tell their colour or appearance. Her clothing was fashionable but simple, a simple black dress that ended shortly above her knees with purple lines crisscrossing across it. Her legs were hidden by black leggings leading to black and purple boots.

    However nothing could hide the cold aura around this woman and the sense of danger she gave off, as if those standing before her were but mice and she a snake, a fitting analogy for the legendary Gorgon, Medusa.

    The man had bright red flaming hair tied into a short ponytail, while his eyes had a sinister dark look to them. He wore a red unbuttoned shirt, exposing most of his upper chest, along with a black jacket going down to his knees. Black trousers and simple black shoes.

    If Medusa was a predator hiding as a figure of beauty, then Li Shuwen was a predator out in the open and accepting any challenge.

    “Kakaka! My my, this place truly has fallen far from its height of glory, don’t you agree Ana?”. Assassin asked, they had already agreed on code names and what they were to do here with their master, after all they couldn’t just introduce themselves as their true identities.

    “And yet you want to set up shop here, what does that say about you Zhang?”. Ana asked, their plan was simple but useful, Li Shuwen would create a dojo in order to teach martial arts while Medusa was his assistant and secretary.

    (From this point on Medusa and Li Shuwen will be referred to as Ana and Zhang as long as they’re in their civilian identities, this will be the same for every other Servant. Also yes those are references to those who figured them out).

    Now I’m sure your wondering, how would Zhang creating a dojo help them? Simple, it gave them both a civilian identity and a way to try and deal with one of the main gangs of Brockton Bay.

    The Azn Bad Boys.

    Elsewhere in Brockton Bay…

    Two men walked by on the street, both walked with a purpose and strength, any who saw them felt as those with them here, nothing could harm them, an aura of protection.

    One of them had wild blue hair and striking red eyes, a grin on his face as he gazed about looking for a fight. A white t-shirt and a black jacket, trousers and shoes, it was simple but the rest of him was attention grabbing enough.

    To those who stared into the man’s eyes however, they felt the gaze of a monstrous hound, stronger than an army of men and they felt a shiver down their spine of incoming danger. The legendary hound of Culann, Cu Chulainn, currently going under the name Sean.

    The other man was slightly shorter, but had a far more muscular form. He had dirty yet bright blond hair and cyan eyes that held both a kindness and a sternness to them. He wore a simple navy shirt and grey jeans to black shoes.

    If Cu was a monster hound, then this man was the very image of a knight, as was fitting of Sir Gawain, under the name Wayne. His presence held a promise of protection and honor.

    Neither of these men were stagiest and were given a simple plan, one they were all too eager to start with once they learned the nature of their target. Especially with one of their leader’s reactions to this groups name…

    The Empire Eighty Eight.

    Elsewhere…

    “OH GOD! STOP PLEA- ARGHHHHHH!”. The agonized scream of a drug dealer filled the room as a stake pierced his heart, his killer flicking the blood off the blade in disgust.

    The killer was pale skinned man with long extremely pale-white blond hair, his eyes were cold towards his enemies. A black and grey jacket along with a silver stake-spear.

    Despite the bodies and filth around him, this man carried a noble aura, but also radiated a feeling of constant anger.

    Vlad III, still a Berserker but this time with far more of his sanity. The legendary Impaler who inspired Dracula, a devil among men. His mission was simple, to exterminate this city of the filth inside it, the Archer Bridge Merchants.

    He had slaughtered many, not sparing a single life, however he was not the most devastating force here.

    “RAAAAAGGHHHHHHH”. A scream of utter rage and madness came from Vlad’s companion, their appearance impossible to tell besides their large size and the black mist radiating off them in waves, a glowing red visor visible through it.

    If Vlad was an image of rage and terror, then this black knight was nothing but absolute madness, but his technique was anything but. Every strike, every movement and every weapon was wielded with the skill of a master, from the bluntest knife to the fastest gun.

    Such as the skill of Lancelot du Lac, greatest among the Round Table, a master of every weapon and a warrior of unequalled skill.

    The Merchants had tried to fight, but they quickly realized, they were but pigs to the slaughter, whether that be by stake or hand. It was only a matter of time now.

    Unknown location.

    “…Are you sure this is the best idea, Emiya?”. Hakuno asked the white haired Archer, while Hakuno had been a part of the planning for each group, she was uncertain for many of the plans, especially the slaughter of the Merchants.

    “I know you dislike the plans Master, but by having Vlad and Lancelot hang as a sword above any criminals, it will drastically lower the amount of crimes. I know these type of people, you can’t offer them mercy, and they’ll just twist it and hurt more people”. Emiya explained, it was a cruel tactic but they were dealing with a cruel world.

    “Husband, this world… it’s rotting, you can’t cure rot, you have to cut it out. However as your wife, I swear we’ll make it better!”. Tamamo promised her beloved, in honesty she could care less about the humans of this world, but her husband’s heart was too pure and as her wife, it was Tamamo’s duty to lighten her beloved’s shoulders.

    Hakuno nodded but couldn’t shake her feelings of worries, they had sent out many Servants all over the world and many were already making big waves, but soon it’d be time for Hakuno herself to make an appearance.

    Even if she wasn’t sure on the outfit Nero and Tamamo had prepared…

    Unknown World…

    On a near dead world, an entity beyond mortal understanding rested. To some mortals, this existence was known as a “Shard”, a piece of an entity. This Shard was currently inactive, which assured it would not be able to avoid its fate.

    Its systems started up when it detected space-time warping around it, believing it to be another Shard a message was attempted to be sent towards the presumed Shard. When no reply was given, the Shard realized something was off but it was far too late.

    Multiple ships from sent from the unknown intruder towards the Shard and slammed into it, each ship was known as an “Arc of the Stars”, containing weapons meant to wipe entire planets, the Velber.

    The Shard tried desperately to fight off the Velber, but they had already started destroying pieces of the Shard and acquiring more power, every second they grew stronger and the alien parasite grew weaker.

    Within minutes it was over, the Shard had been harvested and absolutely destroyed. But its destruction would lead to something far greater, the Umbral Star would need more knowledge before it could proceed with hunting its true prey.

    Hakuno was tired, very tired. Planning with her Servants had been exhausting for the psychically teenage looking girl, she loved many of them deeply (and some in more psychical ways), but even that couldn’t stop the bone deep feeling of exhaustion from dealing with so many Servants with so many different ideas what to do.

    She shivered from what BB’s original plan was, she was extremely happy that she had managed to stop THAT madness. Hakuno was not eager to replicate the Matrix in real life.

    At this point, Hakuno just wanted to relax, perhaps watch a movie? It had become somewhat of a guilty pleasure of hers to watch movies instead of doing anything productive. Nero kept insisting it was okay to relax every now and again, but Hakuno still felt guilty when she wasn’t doing anything productive.

    She had nothing to do right now, her Servants were out and sorting out the ‘first layer’ of their plan, and were working on acquiring a building for a base. As secure as the Moon Cell was, it could get rather annoying transferring between it and Earth, so a psychical building on Earth would make things much easier.

    [Seeeennpaaaai! Your loveable kohai wants to show you something!]

    Hakuno groaned, she recognized the telepathic voice and really didn’t want to deal with her right now. But of course poor sweet Hakuno would respond anyway, because ignoring BB was a frankly horrible idea if she wanted to avoid madness.

    [What BB?]

    [Your most amazing kohai has found one of the most amazing things in this world! Try this link]

    Hakuno blinked at the screen appearing in front of her face, Parahumans Online? What in the world was this?

    [BB, explain]

    [Only the funniest, shittiest gathering of garage, memes and idiocy on the planet! PHO! It’s a website where a bunch of idiots talk about capes, and they actually have some useful things here and there! You need to make an account and check it out Senpai!]

    Of course BB would send her something like this, that girl enjoyed human idiocy a bit too much. But Hakuno had to admit she was curious, it wouldn’t hurt to check it out would it?

    Checking the option to create an account, Hakuno had to hold back a groan as she saw the account was near finished already, of course BB would do this… shaking her head, Hakuno fully activated the account and started exploring PHO.

    Topic: Slaughter of the Merchants.
    In: Boards > Brockton Bay > Merchants > General.


    ThatGuySixtyTwo (Original Poster)
    I’m sure at this point many have realized it, but recently our home of Brockton Bay has had a certain group of annoyances (and I use that term loosely) removed. For those who’ve been living under a rock, the Merchants have been slaughtered, and I do mean slaughtered as in pigs at a butchers, down to the last man.

    Now I know, the Merchants certainly weren’t as big as a threat as certain news media made them seem, but they were still a dangerous gang and whoever got rid of them, must’ve had some serious fire power, so anyone have a clue what’s going on?

    >Crimson_Light321
    God damn, how the hell did anyone get rid of a gang with anyone barley able to tell what happened? Even if the Merchants aren’t the strongest, they still had a few dangerous capes and defiantly should’ve caused a bigger racket then what happened
    .
    >FlippingMad
    Who cares? A parasite that should’ve disappeared years ago is finally gone.

    Because people are obsessed with knowing as much as possible, I guess that’s one of the few good things about you humans. I mean I know what happened, but I’m not saying~

    >ButterflyMadam
    God dammit not another Thinker shitposting, we got enough of that with AllSeeingEye (I KNOW THEY DON’T HAVE A CAPE TAG BUT I AM CERTAIN THAT BITCH IS A THINKER DAMMIT).

    >AllSeeingEye
    When will you accept the fact I’m just smarter then you? Not every person with some actual intelligence is a Thinker.

    >DATA-SS
    Can we please get back to discussing wtf happened to the Merchants? Does anyone have some actual info they’re willing to reveal or is everyone just shitposting.

    >Armsmaster (Verified Cape)
    The PRT is currently investigating what happened, but from our research we have discovered the Capes who dealt with the Merchants was a group of 2 men.

    {Link} {Link}

    Neither has declared themselves with a name, but the PRT is calling them Impaler and Smoke for now. If you see anyone matching these 2, leave the area immediately and report it to the PRT.

    >XxVoid_CowboyxX
    What the hell’s up with the second image? It’s all distorted.

    >Valkyr (Wiki Warrior)
    A Stranger power most defiantly for Smoke, or maybe it’s a Breaker? While Impaler has some kind of Blaster power that lets him summon stakes, weird but guess it fits the whole Dracula theme he has going on.

    >BLACKBLOSSOMFORLIFE (Verified Cape) (Notice me Senpai)
    Smoke? Really that’s the BEST you could come up with PRT? So disappointing, so I guess I’ll give you a little bit of info regarding Mister Knight, he has a Striker power.

    >BloodQueen
    And you know this how BLACKBLOSSOMFORLIFE? Because it’s starting to sound like you know them personally.

    >BLACKBLOSSOMFORLIFE (Verified Cape) (Notice me Senpai)
    Maybe I do? Maybe I don’t? Maybe I’m just a bullshit Tinker?

    >ButterflyMadam
    So you’re just being a bitch? You do know you can get in legal trouble if you have information on villains and not share it with the heroes? You could at least help fill in their Cape Wiki’s a little.

    >BLACKBLOSSOMFORLIFE (Verified Cape) (Notice me Senpai)
    Nope, they can’t actual, I’ve checked the laws and they can’t force you to reveal information regarding Capes. They can’t legally arrest me, or do anything to me, and nobody wants a scandal now do they?

    PHO End

    Hakuno had to hold back a laugh, of course BB would mess about with civilians, and at least it was in a relatively harmless way.

    Smoke and Impaler thought? She didn’t like ether name, perhaps she should ask Vlad to create a PHO account for himself and Lancelot? At least one of the Berserkers had enough sanity to handle an account.

    But what was a Cape Wiki? Quickly researching the term, Hakuno tilted her head confused (Unknowing to her freezing a certain purple haired girl who was stal- WATCHING! Watching, her Senpai).

    Hakuno was confused regarding the Cape Wiki, she got the point of it, give people access to an easy way to learn about Capes and ways to deal with their abilities. But Hakuno quickly realized how deadly it could turn quick, giving villains a way to learn all of a hero’s abilities? You were basically giving them a way to defeat you.

    And that’s not even counting the fact it’d be easy for a villain to convince people their powers were much weaker or different to what they actually were. What if a villain had an ability to absolutely control someone’s mind, but they made it seem they could only subtly influence people? And that’s not even thinking of what if the heroes lie about their powers, it could destroy their reputation.

    Now knowing of both the dangers and uses of Cape Wiki’s, Hakuno decided to research what had been created for her Servants so far. It was… interesting what they thought her Servants abilities were, even if some were horribly wrong.

    Cape Name: Smoke (PRT given name, no official name is known).

    Crimes: manslaughter, and destruction of property.

    Power Rankings and abilities.
    Brute (6) - Smoke is suspected to have an incredibly high psychical strength as he has torn apart even Tinker tech with ease. DO NOT ENGAGE IN PSYCHICAL COMBAT!
    Stranger (2) – It is near impossible to discover anything about Smoke’s true form, as he is constantly covered by a black smoke and any photos taken of him are incredibly distorted.

    Unconfirmed Powers.
    Striker – Suggested by unknown Thinker, but not confirmed.
    Mover – High speed movement and acrobatics is suspected.

    Associated groups or capes.
    Impaler – Confirmed associate and common partner in crime.
    BLACKBLOSSOMFORLIFE – Suspected associate but unconfirmed.

    Cape Name: Impaler (PRT given name, no official name is known).

    Crimes: manslaughter, and destruction of property.

    Power Rankings and abilities.
    Brute (3) – Enhanced Strength, Impaler has been able to tear through metal with ease.
    Blaster (2) – Impaler has been shown able to create stakes anywhere in his line of sight, these stakes have no abilities but Impaler is able to summon immense amounts of them.

    Associated groups or capes.

    Smoke – Confirmed associate and common partner in crime.
    BLACKBLOSSOMFORLIFE – Suspected associate but unconfirmed.

    Cape Name: Unknown (Has not been given any official name).

    This individual is a completely unknown but confirmed Cape, the only known identity they go by is their PHO user of BLACKBLOSSOMFORLIFE.

    Crimes: Hacking PHO.
    Suspected crimes: Association with criminals.

    Power Rankings and abilities.
    Thinker (?) – Not much is known about their Thinker ability, but they seem to have a specialty with coding as they were able to alter the code of PHO and nobody has been able to fix this.

    Unconfirmed Powers.
    Tinker (?) – Suspected high or just specialized Tinker rating towards coding.

    Kohai Rankings.
    Cuteness (10) – Absolutely adorable, it is considered that BLACKBLOSSOMFORLIFE is perhaps the cutest kohai possible.
    Love (10) – BLACKBLOSSOMFORLIFE is the absolute best love interest of them all! But only for Senpai.
    Yandere (3) – Eeeeeh? WHO GAVE ME A YANDERE RATING?!

    The End of Cape Wiki

    This time Hakuno couldn’t help herself, she broke down laughing, especially at that last bit, probably Melt’s fault if Hakuno had to bet. After recovering from her laughter, Hakuno began to think, specifically about the Cape Wiki’s and PHO.

    Both were useful, but she quickly realized how dangerous they could both be. Information could be edited easily and this could lead people to fearing an incredibly weak cape, or underestimating an incredibly powerful one.

    It also gave EVERYONE access to the information, from Hakuno’s understanding unless they had powers regarding it, Capes bodies were as fragile as a normal human, so a well-placed bullet could kill many of them. It was a concerning thought to Hakuno.

    She couldn’t be sure for certain, but she suspected PHO and Cape Wiki’s were created for the purpose of monitoring capes. After all, why deal with keeping an eye on capes yourself, when the curious public could do it for you? It was a rather smart plan if she said so herself.

    At this point, Hakuno decided she needed to get up and do something more then watch whatever chaos BB is doing on PHO. So with that, she left the throne room to talk to someone

    As she walked through Mare Aurum, Hakuno noticed how empty it felt. Sure there were civilians, but not a single Servant, even Nero was on Earth. Hakuno talked with normal people sure, but she was nervous around them, Servants were so much easier to speak to. Magus were also easier to speak to, they didn’t expect you to be normal, but normal civilians? They expected a normal person, Hakuno knew she wasn’t normal.

    Blinking, this gave Hakuno an idea, there was someone who’d still be on the Moon Cell and enjoy a visit from Hakuno, and it had been a while since she’d visited Mare Melum.

    With a quick teleportation Code Cast, Hakuno found herself at the entrance of Mare Melum and entered the territory. Hakuno unconsciously found herself moving faster towards a certain residence, it had been far too long since she’d seen the girl inside.

    Knocking on the door, Hakuno waited a few seconds before it was opened and smiled softly at the girl behind it.

    The girl (More a young woman) eye’s widened and for a few seconds an expression of joy was on her face before it was hidden by a more neutral expression.

    “Well, I can’t say I expected a visit from you today”. Rin Tohsaka said.

    [​IMG]

    First time doing a PHO or wiki style thing, so I hope they turned out okay. This is all the chapters so far, I don't really have an update schedule besides when I'm bored, have nothing to do, or I'm struck by inspiration.
    I hope you guys enjoy the story and are eager for future updates.

    Charlemagne (or Charlie, he really preferred that one), was bored. He had been asked to stay guarding a certain area of the bay, and it was BORING! He was just observing the ‘Boat Graveyard’, something he had been disgusted to discover existed. He had seen what some of the Capes could do, they could’ve fixed this years ago, yet they left it to rot.

    He would’ve started destroying it himself, if he hadn’t been told to wait for someone who had a bit more oomph to their attacks, his own not capable of completely destroying all the ruined boats.

    The black and white haired swordsman remembered how this area was formerly the territory of the Merchants, before Vlad and Lancelot had essentially driven the group to extinction. Now anyone was to terrified to even have a bag of weed, the fear the berserkers had left still scaring them, but the Saber knew it was a temporary sort.

    Oh? Charlemagne’s Servant eyesight caught notice of someone approaching him, or rather someone’s. One was a girl in a mostly green armor, and the other was a young man in dull red and grey armor.

    Now Charlie wasn’t stupid, he had read upon on the local capes of Brockton Bay, these 2 were the wards Vista and Aegis. The Saber Servant grinned, this gave him a much better idea then sitting around!

    “HEEEY! Your Vista and Aegis right?”. The happy go lucky Saber asked, causing both the young capes to tense him. Kids should not look that battle hardened. “I’m Charlemagne! New around here and a hero, so no worries about me attacking!”.
    The 2 wards calmed down, the sheer positive aura around Charlie causing them both to relax.

    “Huh, first time I’ve seen a new cape with such an good outfit, you a tinker or something?”. Vista asked casually, she almost feared she was dealing with a Master, but she quickly realized this guy probably had something like Vicky’s aura, a passive effect that made people look at him in a different light, but not mind control.

    “Tinker? Nope! I know a tinker or two who helped with the armor though, my abilities are… not going to say!”. Charlemagne exclaimed with a smile, causing Vista’s eyes to twitch. While this guy was clearly very positive, it also seemed he has a mischievous streak.

    “You and your tinker friend are…?”. Aegis asked, even if this guy wasn’t willing to reveal his abilities, he had already confirmed he knew a Tinker. Names could tell you a lot about someone’s abilities.

    “Name’s Charlemagne! As for my friend, they prefers to go by Caster. Don’t really know anything about them besides they make armor, really good armor”. Charlie replied, it felt a bit odd using his real name as a hero name, and since he had nobody to actually say made his armor, he just said a Caster did it. Any of the Caster’s could easily pretend to be the armor maker.

    As for saying Caster made armor, with Lancelot and many other Servants who wore armor running about, it would make it seem a neutral tinker is supplying both heroes and villains armor with a fantasy theme. Sure it could still lead to people connecting Charlie and Lancelot, but it was a calculated risk.

    Despite his happy attitude, Charlie was still Charlemagne, one of the greatest kings in history. His eye for strategy was rarely equaled.

    Vista’s mind was racing, while Charlemagne seemed a good cape, this Caster was triggering all her ‘villain senses’. Shadowy person nobody really knew about? Classic villain in the shadows.

    “Would you be able to tell us where to find this… Caster?”. Aegis asked, he had approached the young looking man hoping he was able to be recruited, but instead they had discovered a potential supervillain or at least rogue was setting up in Brockton Bay, recruiting the knight themed cape was still important but they needed to discover what they could on both him and Caster in case the swordsman (And wasn’t that a surprise? From how he held himself, Charlemagne could defiantly use that sword), left after they attempted the recruitment speech.

    “Sorry, can’t do that. I promised to Caster that I’d not reveal where they work, knight’s honor”. Charlemagne replied, causing Aegis to frown. Vista however quickly jumped onto their other goal.

    “Charlemagne, would you be interested in joining the PRT? We help support capes like yourself, you gain access to training and equipment”. Vista offered, trying to put in as much positive energy into her words as possible. She hated acting like this, but heroes tended to listen to kids then a teen. Although she wasn’t quite sure on Charlemagne’s age, he seemed young, maybe wards age? But it was hard to tell.

    Considering he was walking around without a mask or anything to block his facial features, he likely had a way to keep his secret identity. Stranger power? Tinker tech disguise? Vista had no idea, and warping the space of peoples clothing tended to be very noticeable.

    “I mean, I’m willing to come in to talk but I’m not going to join your organization without talking to the people in charge or the team members”. Charlie had to supress the urge to just shout yes, joining an actual superhero team?! How awesome was that? But he had to stay calm here, he was making this plan on the spot.

    Aegis was both relieved and worried, they had a new cape who seemed even if he wouldn’t join the PRT, he’d remain on their good side. But they’d also discovered a potential villain tinker was now in Brockton Bay, they could never get it easy here could they?

    Somewhere else.

    She smiled, grabbing a vial of blue powder and adding it to her cauldron. It was always an odd thing to use, but that did not mean she couldn’t use it for its intended purposes. Adding the blue powder to the cauldron, the green liquid inside gaining blue streaks.

    Grabbing a bronze spoon, something this brew specifically needed, she started stirring. Occasionally she’d add a golden flower that slowly dissolved inside the liquid. After around nine minutes, she grabbed another vial filled with a crimson liquid. She poured the vial into her cauldron, causing the liquid inside it to turn a shimmering golden color.

    With her potion now complete, she grabbed a final empty vial and filled it with the golden liquid.

    Morgan le Fay smiled, her work a success.

    In the Moon Cell.

    Hakuno sipped her coffee, while she wasn’t that fond of the drink, Rin had offered and the AI knew it was a wise choice to accept. The two girls had just been chatting for a while, Hakuno explaining the recent lack of Servants in the area to Rin, who had been rather shocked at the mention that Hakuno had apparently been sending them across the Kaleidoscope.

    “So you can just… casually send yourself to a parallel world, no great ritual… just a single command?”. Rin asked with a twitching eye, one of the goals of most mages, who had spent generations seeking it… and it was in the hands of an oblivious squirrel (Rin may have been hanging out with Elizabeth to much lately). What’s next, Hakuno had a path to the Root in her back pocket?

    …On second thoughts, it was better Rin didn’t ask.

    “Is it really that hard?”. Let it be said that Hakuno did not have a very good understanding of normal magecraft, she had been dealing with heroes of legends and stuff from the Age of Gods since she was created.

    “Hakuno just… don’t go telling others you can perform what is essentially a True Magic, okay?”. Rin requested, Hakuno still not understanding but willing to listen to her friend nodded.

    In all honesty, Hakuno was just glad to be talking to Rin. The last time she had talked to the Tohsaka was… something neither of them wanted to remember.

    “All will obey the will of Rex Magnus…”. The glazed eyes of the enemy master stared at Hakuno, who flinched under the gaze. “Saber! Strike her down!”.


    Nero acted quickly, clashing blades with the enemy Saber who had just tried to end Hakuno’s life. The red Saber grit her teeth at the strength in her lookalike’s blow, but quickly leapt away to grab Hakuno and get her away from the combat.

    “Ex-Caaaaaaallibuuuuur!”. The enemy Saber shouted her Noble Phantasm’s names to the world, sending a beam of all consuming light towards the duo…

    Hakuno shook her head, that memory was not a good one. Sure they got everyone back but it was still an extremely unpleasant memory.

    “Hakuno? Your pale…”. Rin said, Hakuno had frozen and turned pale, the magus recognized the look, she had seen many others with it.

    Rin had a good idea of what Hakuno was thinking about, that event despite ending in no deaths had left permanent scars on everyone. So she quickly thought of a way to change the topic.

    “So what are you doing in the parallel world?”. She asked, causing Hakuno to begin explaining. While some parts of her plan made sense to Rin, some others made her wonder if Hakuno had any idea how people even worked.

    “Wait, wait hold up. Nero wants you to dress up in WHAT?!”. A flustered Rin asked, unable to take her eyes off the picture of the outfit Nero wanted Hakuno to wear. The mental image of Hakuno wearing something so revealing was doing things to the Tohsaka Magus.

    “Is it really that bad?”. Hakuno was confused, she had seen Nero wearing far worst and nobody seems to react.

    “How about we… go over the design?”. Rin offered, while in her head she was thinking. ‘Hakuno I am NOT letting you wear that, Nero’s sense of modesty is basically non-existent!’.

    “Okay…?”. Hakuno just nodded along confused, causing a red faced Rin to quickly begin offering alternate designs.

    Nero: MY PREATOR! WHY HAVE YOU DENIED MY BEAUTIFUL CHOICE OF OUTFIT?! *Crying waterfall tears*.
    Rin: YOUR OUTFIT WAS BASICALLY NON EXISTENT! NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO PAY ATTENTION TO HAKUNO’S PLANS IF SHE’S NEAR NAKED!
    That was my thought process, Nero would totally have Hakuno be like half or near naked if she could get away with it.
    This chapter isn’t super long, but my muse hasn’t been super cooperative lately. Hopefully it will get more active soon.
