A Not So Evil God In Fate/Grand Order

Seeing him being pierced by stakes, Jeanne and Saber didn't hesitate and started running toward his direction wanting to help. They didn't go very far, though. Carmilla and Vlad blocked their path before they could walk any longer.

Coming to a halt, Saber lashed out to them. "Get out of the way you bastards!"

"I'm afraid we can't, little girl. Our Master is still fighting even if the battle looks already over and besides, we haven't tasted your blood yet." Carmilla said with a sadistic smirk.

"Even if I'm not that excited about your blood, I do agree with her. Usually, it is 'when the Servants fight, the Masters stay out of the way'. But now, I'm afraid it's the opposite." Vlad agreed with Carmilla's words.

Mash and Fujimaru came running. "Please don't run off like that, Saber and Jeanne. I'm sure Kuro-san will be fine!" She said and as if to answer the trust in her words. Seth stood up, albeit in a weird way.

"Master!" Jeanne shouted, this time not because of terror but because of happiness and relief. Artoria also released a sigh she didn't know she was holding.

"Hoh? It seems that Master is quite resilient, a fine specimen indeed." Vlad said stroking his beard.

"You think so? I find it unsightly. Why try to avoid death when you can please the ears of your captor with your screams?" Carmilla tried to match her darkest fantasies with Seth's present situation, something Vlad didn't find interesting.

"You live too much off your legend, that will cost your life someday." He said not bothering to hide his disdain.

"I don't want to hear that from you. People remember you more by your name Dracul than by Vlad." She said before turning to the group. "Now, sorry for keeping you waiting. I think it's time to resume our torture session."

Not saying anymore, Carmilla became a pool of blood before she reappeared in front of Jeanne and slashed with her claw-like nails. The Saint used her flag to stop the incoming blow but was still pushed back a little.

"Guh...!" Just as Carmilla was preparing another attack, Saber appeared on her side and kicked her effectively sending her flying and tumbling on the ground.

"We need to be careful, Vlad III is not the only one who can vanish suddenly!" Mash said gaining a nod from Fujimaru and Jeanne while Saber just rolled her eyes. They already saw both of them vanish, no need to say the obvious...

"We need to hurry and go to Master's side otherwise I don't know what the other me would do if we don't go and help!" Jeanne exclaimed while readying her flag.

"For once I agree with her, let's finish this as soon as possible." Saber commented from the side.

"It seems you took a good hit, Blood Countess. Or should I call you Dirt Countess now?" Vlad remarked from the side, adding an insult to the last part. Even a King had a limit to his patience, and Carmilla's words were close to reaching it.

"Shut up Vlad! No more playing around with my food. Even if what is left of them is a lump of flesh I can still get their blood!" All pretense of courtesy was gone from her face, only anger remained now.

"It seems we are of the same mind on this. We are going to be in trouble if we haven't finished them off by the time Master kills that man." He said with seriousness.

Talking no more, he pierced the ground with his spear. Multiple red and black stakes made out of blood emerged and headed to Chaldea's group.

Saber and Jeanne jumped to the side while Mash stayed behind. She needed to block the attack as her Master was not a Servant so he couldn't evade like the rest.

Carmilla, seeing as the pink-haired girl would always stay behind to protect her Master, started sending energy attacks toward him from different angles. Her plan was to wear the Shielder down before finally getting her hands on the girl's blood.

Vlad started clashing weapons with Artoria while Jeanne pursued Carmilla to stop her from attacking anymore.

"Good grief, you are tainted in darkness yet you still fight for 'justice'? A strange occurrence if I must say." Vlad asked in the midst of their clashing.

"Shut up. I fight for what I want. If I want to fight for justice I will fight for justice and if I want to fight for evil I will fight for evil." An angry Artoria retorted.

"Hm...I must say I do have some envy toward you. Despite being corrupted you still have the freedom to choose. Sadly for me, my way of life has already been decided by the legend imparted on me." Vlad said, the last part in a higher volume. If there was something he hated the most that would be being labeled as something he wasn't. That and the people who made up that accursed legend.

"You would be better if you told your story to someone that still had sympathy left in them." Artoria said returning to her cold expression.

Just as Vlad was going to talk, they noticed the black Jeanne being sent flying followed up by another hit and so on.

Artoria smiled while still maintaining her cold face. "It seems that your Master is in trouble. Shouldn't you go and help her?" She taunted. Vlad frowned a little at the situation but soon it was replaced by a smirk.

It was time for Saber to frown, clashing weapons once more she asked. "What's with that smirk? Do you want to see your Master being beaten up that badly?"

"Quite the opposite, even if I hate this form, it comes with a perk. That is, I'm very s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to blood. That man may be beating up my Master right now but it won't last long. His blood is burning faster by the second, if he keeps that up then the only outcome will be him becoming a dried corpse." He answered still with a smirk on his face.

Saber clenched her teeth and started pouring more force into her blows, she needed to finish this battle as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Jeanne finally managed to stop Carmilla from attacking Mash. Similar to Vlad, Carmilla could sense the problem on Seth's body, before Jeanne could be happy that her Master was fine and was even winning, Carmilla told her the hard truth.

"Yes, that's the expression I wanted to see! Despair, young girl. Despair as much as you want! It will make it more fun that way." She said noticing the face of the Saint slowly turning into a look of horror.

After saying that, she kicked Jeanne in her stomach sending her flying. Luckily, Mash caught her before she hit the ground.

"Now... It's finally time to relish on your blood." Carmilla said putting her hand on her mouth to 'cover' a sadistic chuckle.

Her magical energy started spiking. « All lies on a plate of illusion— but before she could unleash her Noble Phantasm, a powerful shockwave interrupted her. She would give it to them, no one has angered her to this extent.

They all looked up to see the black Dragon clashing with Seth's spear in mid-air before fire engulfed its arms and created an explosion.

"I guess it's time for me to do my part now." Vlad said looking at Fafnir who was roaring as his life depended on it.

« Dedicate that blood. That is your life.

I will dedicate here my human life that is smeared in blood.

Saying till then, Vlad started spinning his lance around him before throwing it at Artoria. Despite her instincts kicking in, she was still pierced in her waist. That was not the end of it as blood in the form of a stake impaled her in various parts of her body. Vlad put his arms in an 'x' shape in front of him before surrounding himself in dark violet energy.

"Kazıklı Bey!! »

With his shout, the black tattoos on his arms turned red and came to life in a thread-like form, they coiled around him and shot toward the sky taking the shape of a pointed chain before crashing in her direction.

Standing up, Jeanne saw the incoming attack heading toward Saber so she decided to rush in front of her. Putting her flag in front of her, she started to chant.

« Here's the work of the Lord!

My flag, defend our brethren!

Luminosité Eternelle! »

A light formed around her flag just in time as Vlad's Noble Phantasm was about to hit.

No matter how much force the blood chains put, they didn't manage to go past Jeanne's flag. They eventually faded away. However, there was now a tear on Jeanne's flag.

"Really impressive, to think that flag could stop my Noble Phantasm, I must commend you." Vlad said with a prising tone.

Jeanne didn't pay attention to him, though. She kept sending glances to the place where Jeanne was 'torturing' her Master while gripping her flag tightly.

Sadly, with Saber bleeding from various places and Carmilla lurking trying to kill them, she couldn't abandon her place.

Just as she was dreading the worse, a royal voice made its way into the battlefield. And by the word said, Jeanne assumed the intruder was an ally.

Seeing the appearance of a new enemy, Vlad and Carmilla retreated to their Master's side while Mash, Fujimaru, and Jeanne who was now carrying Saber, did the same but with Seth.

Fortunately, the black Jeanne had distanced herself to avoid an attack made by the intruder so they didn't have to fear any impediments while retrieving him.

Mash was the one who took Seth out of the crater as Jeanne was holding the wounded Saber. Once she pulled him closer to them, Artoria asked after coughing some blood. "What's his condition? He looks like a corpse right now." She said, making Jeanne give her a look of 'Don't say things like that or I will be angry'.

"His life is not necessarily in danger, but his condition is not really good. As Vlad and Carmilla said, he burned too much of his blood. We can't do a blood transfer so our only option is to feed him as much as possible and hope his abnormal regeneration speed helps somehow." Romani said after analyzing the data on the monitors where information about Fujimaru and Seth vitals was being displayed.

They sighed in relief hearing Dr. Roman's answer, at least he would not die. Turning to their savior, they noticed a young girl with silver hair, a red dress and an equally red big and strange hat on her head.

It was Jeanne's turn to speak. "Thank you for saving him, you have my gratitude." Saying that she did a little bow making Artoria who was being carried by her grunt in pain.

"I'm sorry..." She looked pretty embarrassed right now.

The girl in the red dress just smiled. "Don't worry, It's my duty. If someone tries to destroy this country and its citizens, it's my job to put a stop to it. Just one of you is actually French, but you all are fighting to protect France, that alone is enough for me to lend a hand! Why? Because—"

"You are...!" The enemy Saber, who had jumped off the Dragon, couldn't help but become wide-eyed at the figure in red.

"Oh? Do you know my True Name? Have we met before, splendid knight?" Far from being angry at being interrupted, the girl gave another smile to the knight in white.

The black Jeanne, seeing as Berserker Saber knew the true name of the fly that stopped her from killing the hateful man, asked. "Saber, who is she?" But was only met with silence.

Seeing it as an act of defiance, she raised her voice. "Answer!"

This time, Saber complied. "I can tell who she is, even with this curse of maddening burning in my heart. Her beauty couldn't possibly be mistaken."

She continued, "The girl they called the Flower of Versailles, Marie Antoinette."

"That's right! Thank you for saying my name!" She cheerfully said before turning toward the Black Saint. "Now, Dragon Witch. I will ask you no matter how pointless it may be. Are you still going to perform your evil deeds in my presence?" She asked. However, this time there wasn't a smile on her face.

"Silence! What right do you have to participate in this battle? A fool who lived in luxury and died without knowing why doesn't have any say on this matter!" Jeanne angrily retorted.

The girl nodded before returning to smile. "Yes, I guess you are right. That's why I want to know more! What I don't know, I learn. That's my policy. It's the reason why I can't bear to look at you like this, oh beloved Saint. You keep harming the innocents in a misplaced hatred and I don't know why, but what I do know is, together with the Jeanne D'Arc over here, I'm going to make your heart and body become mine." She said expanding her arms like she was celebrating something.

Jeanne, Mash, and Fujimaru blushed at her words while Artoria just sighed in resignation. 'Why are always the idiots that decide to join us...'

As for the enemy side, their expressions were something that if they were to be described, their image would be ruined forever.

Noticing the awkwardness in the air, Marie clarified. "Oh, dear. Um...please don't misunderstand me. I just meant that as a Queen, I would bring you to your knees." She said and although she still kept that upbeat attitude, a light blush was present on her cheeks.

"Enough of this farce! Servants, go and murder that failure of a Queen before killing the rest!" Jeanne ordered.

"I agree with you, Dragon Witch. It's time to put an end to this. Amadeus, crush them like bugs!" Marie spoke to no one in particular but was met with an answer.

"Leave it to me! Requiem For Death!" An anonymous voice responded. Suddenly, musical notes and white angels with instruments started surrounding the enemy side, creating a melody that crushed their ears.

They all covered their ears trying to avoid the evil sound that seemed to have no end.

"Now, good day everyone. Au revoir!" With that as the signal, they fled the battlefield.

The evil music continued for a good five minutes but once it was over, the black Jeanne didn't hesitate to order a woman with blue hair holding a strange cross who had been silent all this time. "Hmph. Annoying pests. Rider!"

A calm, melodious voice that didn't seem to hold madness in it, asked. "What is it?"

"Go after them, surely you could do that with your 'horse', right? You don't need to fight, just tell me where they are, I will crush them personally." She said with a hate-filled voice.

"...Understood." And with that, she left.

"What a shame that sound is gone. I would make that Servant my pet and make his evil melody accompany my victims to torture them even more." Carmilla said with slight...regret?

Vlad, ignoring Carmilla's absurd words, asked his Master. "Ruler...do you think she will be enough to handle them?"

"It will be fine, Rider's Noble Phantasm is perfect for destroying them. But you are right, it's better if I'm careful. I'll return and prepare to summon additional Servants." She said after giving it some thought.

"Go ahead and cause as much trouble as you like, and if you manage to find them, make sure to completely destroy them." She ordered before leaving for her castle, leaving the group of Servants alone.
