Or at least, that would be the case were there no opponents awaiting the team. [k] @ Is this mere chance? The whim of a Demon God Pillar?[sr]Or is it simply human error? [k] @ Whatever the case, on that day in 2018, only a short while after Cú Chulainn Alter was summoned... [k] @ Humanity's last Master, [%1],[sr]was in a dire situation. [k] @ Hm? Dire situations are the order of the day here?[sr]Well, be that as it may, THIS particular situation was something rather special. [k] @ Master's most trusted Servant,[sr]Mash Kyrielight, was not by [&his:her] side. [k] @ It was not long after the difficult, arduous task of correcting the Singularity in America had been completed. [k] @ Of all Chaldea's Servants,[sr][&he:she] took only Cú Chulainn Alter... [k] @ ...on a forty-eight hour journey.

[k] @Cú Chulainn For example: heroes, no matter what kind of life they lived, almost always end up with blood on their hands. [k] @Cú Chulainn Even heroes who like to think of themselves as good remain aware that they have a merciless side to them. [k] @Cú Chulainn What would happen if their other side was brought to the forefront? Pretty obvious, don't you think?

[k] @Tristan However, even I cannot make any claim to sainthood. [k] @Tristan A virtuous king can turn cold-blooded.[sr]A cold-blooded king becomes virtuous. [k] @Tristan A mad dog of a knight had a time to shine bright.[sr]And the opposite rings true. [k] @Tristan And there are those who fell from grace, those who fell into darkness, or were driven into it by events beyond their control.

[k] @Gilles de Rais That is the man I ultimately become.[sr]An Anti-Hero, a mass-murderer, a truly evil man. [k] @Gilles de Rais As painful as it may be, it is not something I can simply avoid... [k] @Gilles de Rais I must acknowledge that he is another side of me...[sr]I mustn't avert my gaze from that truth...

They've mutated somehow. [k] @Cú Chulainn The other me fused with Medb's far-fetched idea of me as a king. [k] @Cú Chulainn Guess it happened since humanity is so unstable.[sr]Otherwise, I'd have been less of a jerk.

[k] [charaTalk on] ?1:Not really. [charaFace A 5] @Cú Chulainn Alter Don't act so tough. [k] @Cú Chulainn Alter We lost communication, we're low on food and water,[sr]and I'm the only Servant you've got. [k] @Cú Chulainn Alter Standing there, saying you're not scared?[sr]Liar. [k] ?2:Well, to be honest... @Cú Chulainn Alter I knew it. [k] @Cú Chulainn Alter We lost communication, we're low on food and water,[sr]and I'm the only Servant you've got. [k] @Cú Chulainn Alter Even your trusty Shielder isn't here. [k] ?! [charaFace A 1] @Cú Chulainn Alter Anyone would be scared out of their wits.[sr]Right? [k] [wt 0.4] [charaFace A 0] @Cú Chulainn Alter Don't give me that look. [k] @Cú Chulainn Alter We did try to kill each other the last time we were here. Am I wrong? [k] [charaFace A 5] @Cú Chulainn Alter No, I'm not. You and I fought to the death.[sr]You, [%1]. [k] @Cú Chulainn Alter If you're a Master, you are responsible for your Servants in battle. No matter the opponent, the ultimate decision to fight is on you. [k] @Cú Chulainn Alter That's why I fought against you and lost.[sr]Isn't that right? [k] [charaFace A 0] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_5 0.7] @Cú Chulainn Alter But now it's just a faint memory. Look at that.[sr]While we were chit-chatting, enemies surrounded us. [k] @Cú Chulainn Alter So what'll it be, Master? Retreat or meet the attack head-on? You better choose. [k] ?1:Attack. ?! [bgm BGM_EVENT_4 0.1] @Cú Chulainn Alter Got it. Good, a quick decision.[sr]You didn't even hesitate. I like it. [k] @Cú Chulainn Alter Now it's time for a massacre.[sr]This lot isn't even hardy enough to be a good meal.
