Chapter 49: Earnest Start of the Great War

The first occurrence planned by Jun to take place was Nyxo's contact with Ruler.

"Greetings, Ruler." Jun greeted through Nyxo.

"You are . . ." Ruler inquired.

"This is Nyxo, my familiar." Jun replied.

"As for my, I am the Master of Saber of Red." He added.

"As you surmised, I am Ruler, Jeanne D'Arc. Can I ask you to explain the Red Faction's attack on my person?" Jeanne asked.

"I have my guesses but I was not included in that decision, which is why I'm contacting you." Jun explained.

"I see . . ." Jeanne responded.

"You should seek a priest named Shirou Kotomine, he is the one direction most of the Red Faction and quite probably the one who ordered the attempt on your life. You'll find him near either Caster of Red or Assassin of Red." Jun shared.

"Thank you for your assistance . . . eh . . ."

"Jun. Haikami Jun." Jun said.

"I see, well, I truly thank you, you may find me any time you wish and I will grant you a Command Spell for you contribution." Jeanne promised.

"I look forward to our meeting then." Jun replied and Nyxo disappeared from Jeanne's sight.

Jeanne then continued on journey to Trifas while the Whole Millenia castle was in a tizzy due to Jack's disturbance, using her Noble Phantasm, The Mist to cover the entire castle in an acidic fog that confused those inside, preventing them from leaving as well as dealing damage to normal beings and penalties to servants.

Jack then stopped her noble phantasm and Jun made a show with Nyxo as if she was the one that caused the mist, luring all enemies outside before disappearing. As a result, Astolfo figured this was a good opportunity to help Sieg escape and so they left, right in Jun's direction.

'So far so good . . .' Jun thought.

The rest of the Black Faction realized what happened and set out in chase, leaving the castle undefended and ripe for Jack's infiltration mission to set up a little something something for Jun.

The rest happened as previously said. Sieg suffered a mortal wound but Siegfried gave up his heart and died to save him ,asking Jeanne to do her best to ensure he lived on.

The Black faction then arrived but after taking back Astolfo, Jeanne took Sieg with her and left him with an old man to take care of him.

Why Jun wanted to be so close to such events, in order to use the Akashic Converter to absorb Siegfried's Remnants, the most he could get was one skill or one noble phantasm of his choice but that was more than enough.

Jun already had his own dragon armor and one without such an obvious weakness. Balmung was also already apart of his Eversor so there was only one thing to take, Das Rheingold, the noble phantasm that Siegfried never used in any media.

After that, Jun spoiled Jack a little bit before sending her on her next job. Killing Sieg and digging out his heart. And no playing around, kill him with the first blow and immediately dig out the heart without pause or torture since Jun did not want the plot armor kicking in.

Meanwhile, Jun rejoined Mordred and they both set out to meet up with Shirou to communicate the recent events to him and join the rest of the Red Faction on the Hanging Gardens of Babylon noble phantasm of Semiramis.

The next day, Jun and Mordred met up with Shirou and he guided them into the Hanging Gardens of Babylon where they met up with the rest of the Red Faction's Servants.

"Oh! I've finally met another master of our faction!" Achilles clamored.

"Well, I don't fancy staying cooped up all day, at least when there's action." Jun responded.

Achilles nodded.

"I get it! Good for you! That's how it should be." He subvertedly criticized his own master.

"Aren't you a bit too you for this?" Atalanta asked.

"I quite flattered by your concern but there is really no need for it." Jun assuaged her concerns.

"I have a question if you don't mind." Karna interjected.

"Of course." Jun obliged.

"That muffler you're wearing, it seem to be concealing you . . ." Karna noted the disguised Veil of Death's Secrets.

"Ah this?" Jun said before removing it, showing his real appearance but keeping everything else like his abilities hidden.

Everyone's heart beat faster but unlike everyone who seemed to have a blush on their face, Karna was still calm.

"I see . . . Forgive my rudeness." Karna said and Jun hid his true form once again.

In that small instant though, he managed to make Achilles question his sexuality, Atalanta question her vows of purity, Shirou question his vow of abstinence and Semiramis want to keep him as her consort after the war ended in her victory.

In an effort to move things along since he was quite embarrassed as well, Shirou spoke.

"I assume you have heard of Saber of Black's demise?" He said to Jun.

"Not only have I hear but I also saw it." Jun replied, drawing everyone's attention.

He then proceeded to give the rundown of what had happened.

"What a foolish way to go, even if noble." Achilles pointed out. Foolish because if his master had decided to help the homunculus, Siegfried would not have sacrificed himself. Meanwhile Karna was slightly disappointed he would not be able to have his rematch with Siegfried.

Caster of Red, Shakespeare seemed quite interested in the story thought and kept asking Jun for details. Meanwhile, Jack fulfilled her duty perfectly, proving that Jun's plot armor was even thicker than Siegs and earning him a weak Dragon Heart, a magical energy Reactor Core for his experiments.

"Whatever the case, now that our enemy has lost their Saber, its our chance to attack." Shirou said said.

Then in fantastic fashion Semiramis revealed the full glory of her Hanging Gardens of Babylon by making it take flight earning her praise from everyone, Jun included which stroked her royal ego.

By nightfall, the Hanging Gardens were already close enough to Millenia castle and so topped as the plain between the two was to be the battlefield.

Countless dragon fang warriors were dropped from the Gardens on the plains bellow, becoming a marching army, running towards Millenia castle than fielded their own homunculi/golem army in response with their Servants also charging.

Atalanta, the Archer of Red, fired the first shot of the battle, opening it with her Noble Phantasm, Phoebus Catastrophe, creating a rain of Arrows that decimated the enemy army until the Berserker of Black, Frankenstein, put a stop to it with her Bridal Chest's lightning.

Then Rider of Red, Achilles jumped out of the Hanging Gardens and summoned his chariot noble phantasm, Troias Tragedia, descending upon the ground and beginning to run over all enemy troops that got in his way.

However, just as he was taunting the Black Faction, Jack jumped out of the shadows and tossed a shining marble towards him that engulfed his body as his chariot disappeared.

In a great aren from which there was no escape, Achilles appeared only to see Penthesilea in front of him.

"ACHILLLLEEEEEESSSS!" She screamed as she launched herself towards him.

Achilles dodged while shouting in shock.

"Penthesilea!?"

And so their fight started.

Outside, despite Achilles' disappearance, the battle had to go on and now, it was better balanced. Shirou and Caster disappeared somewhere to fight Frankenstein while Astolfo charged towards the Hanging Gardens on his Hippogriff

Atalanta supported Karna in his fight against Vlad III while Mordred, on Jun's orders, went to fight Chiron.

Meanwhile, Semiramis asked Jun to accompany her to the front deck of the Hanging Gardens where they could see the battlefield better, having him guide her by hand there.

"You may remove your disguise if you so wish Jun." The empress suggested.

"Very well then." Jun stopped hiding his appearance making Semiramis secretly lick her lips.

'I'll keep him as my consort after I gain rulership of the world through the grail.' She decided in her mind.

Jack Retreated with the marble left behind as ordered, happy that she had done all of her mission well and looking forward to being spoiled for it while Vlad took on both Karna and Atalanta, valiantly without falling back.

Mordred chased around Chiron in the forest but the battle had turned into a deadlock, with Mordred not being able to catch up and Chiron not being able to shot her down.

All the while, Serious was having his fun fighting Frankenstein and Achilles was still locked in a deadly battle with Penthesilea.

Rider of Black, Astolfo unleashed La Black Luna, an instrument shaped noble phantasm to clear out a massive swath of flying Dragon tooth warriors and charged towards Semiramis and Jun on the front deck of the Hanging Gardens

"I take you to be Caster of Red!" Astolfo declared.

"I'm afraid you're wrong, I'm the Assassin of Red but then again, the art of magecraft is not unfamiliar to me." Semiramis said, firing lightning magecraft at Astolfo who blocked with another of his noble phantasms, Luna Break Manual.

Truly an awe inspiring war.
