I pick up my pen and manifest my manuscript. At last.
"So indeed, the escape was utterly impossible. The building impregnable, from both the within and without. But some how, Monarch Laciel had done it. And if he could escape from one such inescapable prison, why not another? Why escape from even the most impossible prison of all?
Time and space itself"
"Marchen Meines Leben (The Fairy Tail of My Life): A Story Just For You!"
A brilliant pink light begins to shine around me, illuminating the top of the second tallest building in New York as my ability activates. I feel my ability activating, re-writing my own abilities with that of my character's. Power fills me. God Hand is swept away, replaced by my new ability, that which will gaurantee my safety, knowledge and power.
"Enfer Chateau D'lf: Tyger Tyger Burning Bright!"
I activated TTBB in an instant, and escape to outside time and space, time and space halting around me.
How to begin, how to begin?
"
Monarch Laciel stood upon the roof of 432 Parks Avenue, the second tallest building in new york. For several hours now he was looked down and watched, seeing all that has happened. He has seen the lightning of Archer, he knows the parameters of Saber and one of their NPs. He knows when servants have been summoned, and he knows the last servant to be summoned was Assassin. So much he knows. Indeed, he is practically omniscient. The knife in his pocket has tasted the blood of monsters and is evolving and growing into a true Noble Phantasm. He feels like a god, or perhaps blessd by them, watching over his people, the command seals on his arm granting him their obedience, his book allowing him to re-write their lives at willl." [technically possible. Just not all their lives at once, and it takes about a day to write for each person]
I write a second chapter on my incredible knowledge, seeing all from above, and near godly power. TTBB is a powerful Noble Phantasm, but it is also costly. Luckily, I have the perfect source of mana. One of Berserker's 5 seals (the three I took from his master, and the two I got from God's resolution) vanishes from my arm, consumed to maintain the noble phantasm.
I write a third chapter. Time has no meaning here, and I may write as I will.
I write a fourth chapter. Again, my mana begins to run low, and I use the crystalised mana of a berserker's 2nd command seal. I don't wish to run out of mana and vanish, on the cusp of my ascension. Still, I have 19 left. It should be plenty.
I write a fifth chapter.
Then a 6th. Berserker's third command seal vanishes.
I write a 7th chapter. I'm so close
The 8th chapter. Berserker's fourth vanishes. I have 17 left
The ninth chapter:
"
Gazing down upon all from his place in the sky, like an omniscient star watching over the world, over the war like a god. He stood from his place upon the roof of 432 Parks Street and looked down. He could do anything. He could see all. Know all. He was an undying immortal, a body twice blessed by the olympian Gods themselves"
"The knife next to him lay where it was, a purely mundane artifact. But it had bathed in the blood of Berserker and his master, and with a gesture, it reached its true potential and transformed into Gram, the Demonic Sword of Glory and Ruin. A fitting weapon for the God he had become"
The manuscript is complete. I can hardly believe it. I closed the manuscript and deactivate TTBB, returning to space-time. It is ready. I can activate it at any moment now. The knife in my pocket seems to quiver slightly, in anticipation of its ascension, but I might just be imagining that.
But it is day, and while the light of a mere 6 chapters becoming realised only lit up the top of the building, the light of all 9 would attract every eye in New York, magus, servant or mundane, a wave of magic so strong all could feel it. The Grail War must be left a secret to the masses. I cannot yet use this power. Either I must wait until night, or I must find somewhere hidden...
hmmm
I think there were some tunnels in the Upper West Side. I begin to make my way there, needing to pass through Central Park first
