Chapter 15 - 15 Install Saber (2/2)

Through the eyes of his thirteen Servants, he had seen more beautiful women in Archers memories than all the women the original Gray had seen in his first life. Archer's unofficial Thirteenth Labor was to sleep with over fifty of the daughters of Thespius, King of Thespiae, in a single night.

Even Archer broke his normal silence to tell Gray of his ”adventures”.

”I wonder what Archer would think if he saw that Hippolyta was still alive and on Themiscyra today....”, thought Gray with a cheeky expression on his face.

He had never once considered even the notion of trying to return to his former world. Despite the fact that he couldn't even remember most of it, he was having more fun in this world in the past few weeks than he had in all the memories he could remember.

Someone on the street told him that they would give their liver to be able gain the powers of Wonder Woman or Superman. Gray lost more than half of ”himself” for the powers that he had currently. And he hasn't even used most of the Noble Phantasms belonging to the various Heroic Spirits in his Class Cards.

”Lancer. Did you want to come out an play? I know that Gods still exist in this world. Maybe you can kill some just for old times sake?”.

An expressionless ”no” resounded throughout the twenty year olds mind.

He sighed.

Other than Achilles, or Rider rather, none of the other Heroic Spirits ever wanted to ”let loose” so to speak, other than Avenger and Berserker but Gray wasn't that stupid to let either of the two out of their ”cages”.

One was a creation of the Gods, meant to restrict the Divine and the other a Demon King.

What could go wrong?

When he tried to test out Saber, the supposed strongest Class, famed for their swordsmanship and peak abilities, the Saber within the Card vehemently refused Gray's call stating that ”unless humanity was in danger of being destroyed, he wouldn't allow Gray to use him in battle”.

Saber's Noble Phantasm was ”the embodiment of human nature”. I cut apart the blood red sky of the Western Continent and revealed the formerly blue sky hidden behind it. It was a sword that ”consumed planets”, and could even cut the Ultimate Ones in half.

Gray didn't know much about the history of Saber, mainly because it hadn't happened yet, however the dream cycle that came after he installed the Servant for the first time, shook the Master to his very core.

A formerly azure sky turned crimson with the blood of Type Pluto. The majority of the human race either evolved or adapted, losing their humanity in the process. A-Rays and Ether Liners were the two dominant species on the planet. The latter evolving, taking in other races DNA to allow their own to survive in such an inhospitable environment, while the latter used machines and technology to ensure their survival.

Saber was an Ether Liner. The strongest Ether Liner.

Memories him him clashing with the Ultimate Ones were images straight out of comic books and manga, yet were completely clear within Gray's mind.

Thunder gathered over the tallest tower in Gotham City. Streaks of arcing blue light illuminated the dark stormy skies above Gray, and the twenty year old only moved his scarf to block the water from reaching where the hood didn't.

He took a single step of the tower and fell straight off the building, images of Saber soaring through the skies waving his massive kilometer tall sword at the alien monstrosities known as ”Aristoteles” flowed into him, and memories of a single scruffy looking human wielding a strange black gun came to mind as well.

Saber smiled through Gray's mouth.

He supposed it was time to show the world the power of the Ether Liners.

Over the sound of crackling thunder, a single voice echoed throughout Gotham City.

”Install Saber!”.
