You are Anon, a 6’2” albino man of exceptional strength and magical energy who can remember only faint vestiges of his past, is unaware of his real name, and is a Master in the Akeldama Great Holy Grail War, which is taking place in a city in an artificial world called Akeldama. Your Servant is Avenger of Red, a winged girl wielding considerably powerful magic who has declined to tell you her true name so far. Most recently you and Avenger fought against an Archer-class Amazon and the diminutive Kuro no Berserker before they unexpectedly broke off their attack, and you have reason to believe Sun Wukong could level your base soon if he lays waste to the area with his Noble Phantasm, Ruyi Jingu Bang.

Things have gotten pretty wild, and every second’s going to count. Even so, rushing into battle without thinking things through would probably end badly against an opponent as tough as Sun Wukong. Turning to Matsuda, you ask him, “Ryuuta, you know his legend pretty well: do you remember how Wukong lost when he fought the gods? Maybe it could give us some ideas on how to fight him.”

Welcome back LSAD, damn, seems Wukong's Master is gonna be a tougher nut to crack than I expected but perhaps still doable. We'll need to take advantage of the Servants being at battle and still likely need to come along with Jen since I don't think a 2(?) Day old not!True Ancestor/Dead Apostle is gonna last against a trained monster hunter.
Oh and I dunno if I can go for it but
>Write-in: "I'll go along with this plan for the time being, but I shouldn't have to remind you that a Servant that's got to utilize more than the simpler tricks in their arsenal. Once you have Koko and Suzaku cleared, should do well to run some sort of distraction for dealing with the Lancer's Master. But I'll say!: Avenger has taught me that a Servant willing and able to use whatever it takes to win this war is worth it's weight in gold. You're a crafty geezer, but who knows? Perhaps you'll prove me wrong." I wanna see if we can plant some bait that we can see Odin take this battle here seriously. He's been plenty helpful but We know that He knows He's pulling punches. Not expecting him to go for Divine Authority hacks here, but I wanna nudge him towards a proper show of force.
I'm still holding to my plan of disabling Wukong's Master and jacking his command seals to control him or forcing him to kill himself. I dunno if it's the eight path, but I know shit is about to get messy

As for Wukong himself, I think the best plan here is to nullify his immortalities with Harpe and let the berserk Archer deal with his clones.
Avenger is versatile enough to contain most of his transformations and we can (maybe) help kill the Master.

>>5625331 Alright under a new id utilizing my skill as Hassan of a Thousand IP Addresses. So while waiting for LSAD let's get down what we know of Anon's identity and perhaps what it is that happened with him alongside where he stands
>Woke up without any memories of not only his own life but not even knowing his name >Big, Strong and Albino enough that Truvi has taken to calling us Einzbern due to how we look like a Homunculus having physical prowess beyond a regular human >An insane level of Mana output able to keep Avenger supplied with energy for pulling off attacks >Upon meeting Hitlerita there's mention of Deja Vu affecting the both when coming across one another >Abraxas' "Ur of the Chaldeans" comment >The moment just now where we note how Caster knows more than he let's on and how things've happened before So from the evidence so far my guess is that Anon is likely what "Adajio" plans to utilize for the Grail's vessel but something about it has gone awry enough that He or something else has trapped us in some sort of timeloop so we don't reach to summoning the Grail ourselves. What interests me most however is of course
>Dual Elemental affinity for Ether and True Ether THIS is what interests me most. We've barely scratched the surface on what is a potential busted amd unique usage of Magrcraft that only we'd be pulling off more or less. Depending on how we grow and should we get out of here having gotten the wizard training under Circe and possibly Odin we'll have sealing designations slapped right on us. Making Jen alone is likely something that'll spook a Magus who properly understands this a bit. I can't wait until we deal with that and Origin bullshit, Anon is shaping to be a peculiar figure given the time he is in. I'm betting we have something very off about our existence as a whole

>Option 1: He is an actual Einzbern Homunculus that had managed to break from his captivity >Option 2: He's a being created by the World/Alaya ala Enkidu in order to shut things down for the Akeldama War >Option 3(aka my personal theory): A First Magic related Causa Sui that's managed to form a personality and being thanks to a mix of the Grail and some sacrificed schmuck I dunno where LSAD will take it but I'm open to hearing other theories on what our deal is exactly.
Anonymous
>>5626393 Option 1, I somewhat doubt. The Einzbern are obsessed with recovering the Third Magic and that stands at odds with returning to the past (for the same reason Medea can't use any of the five True Magics). Not to mention, do they have the alchemical know-how to hybridize Ether and True Ether without one destroying the other?
Option 2 is possible, but usually the Human Order just summons a Servant or empowers regular humans. It would be very unusual if Anon were purpose-built just for this one crisis.
Option 3 seems most likely to me, but maybe not the First specifically. Could Anon have something to do with the original Third Magician?
An Option 4, the obvious guess, is that Anon was created by Triscus for some purpose. He has the magical know-how and prowess to construct an entire artificial world, as well as the fine control over the Grail (and mana supply) needed to organize a deviant Grail War with a different victory condition: retrieve the Masters' coins and place them in the Lesser Grail (thread 3).

>>5626610 I went with the guess Anon has relation to the Firat instead of the Third Magic/Magician due to a particular but out of the wiki
>Though the exact domain of the First Magic is uncertain, it is related to the generation of Ether clumps, which have been called "materialized nothing." I like to think Anon wasn't so much "Created" by another being so much as that he likely chased for the Root, reaching but being utterly annihilated so the person who Anon was Dr. Manhattan'd himself back together from said Ether Clumps but with the side effects of
A. No memories
B. While high in potential, not a proper Magus
C. Ended up in the middle of a Grail War modified by someone else
D. The Ether Affinities
Unless we do something like refilling a mana battery completely full within a few seconds, or if you wanna try dying for an Immortality Test I doubt that we're related to the Third Magician and Third Magic. I'm stickimg to my theory of The First since it's an underexplored one compared to the Third or the Second Magics

Get an idea for the man and the now present girl We'll need a proper mix to stall for time and actually reach the Masters. Given that we are likely outnumbered and outgunned the name of the game currently is movement and position. There's no way we're gonna be able to take them all head on so we'll have to be quick in targeting the Priest himself since as Wukong's Master he holds the strongest guy in immediate position to kill us.
But should we find that the priest IS flexible enough and IS unorthodox(ironically given the faith) in how he goes about things and pragmatic, we could try and rope him and the new kid into an alliance of convenience to deal with some of the other threatening elements we've been getting hints of.
Either way. Wukong is currently about as weak as he may be so we've got to be sure whichever way we go, we pull a win out of this in some way

Any reasonable person would cease dialogue if some of the opposing combatants starting moving around without explanation. I should also note that currently Perseus isn't feeling too great and his condition is gradually worsening, but if Avenger were to hand the potion over or Anne were to use a Command Spell to repair his Reiki, that would probably be considered an act of hostility. He does have Battle Continuation B so a little damage to his Spirit Core isn't going to kill him right away, but he can't just shrug it off like it's nothing either.

His staff shattered as it made first contact with the sidewalk, and his petrified form lay lifelessly there, as though on its hands and knees. Thunder crackled overhead as the rain began to fall with more intensity.

As long as you can get past the clone of Wukong, Caster of Red, and her autonomous armor-suit, you could definitely eliminate Wukong from the Grail War here and now. Looks like you won’t need to wait for Kuro no Archer to show up and maneuver him into helping you after all.> Ready your mace and charge in alongside Avenger. You’ll aim to detain or strike down Wukong’s Master while Avenger and Rushrou’s Lancer keep the remaining Servant-class enemies at bay. > Join your Servant in the attack, but make a point to observe the enemy’s behavior before deciding how to participate yourself. > Send Avenger out, but stay back here to keep an extra set of eyes on the lookout for attacks from third-parties.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub0VR26QQ9k Tightening your grip on your mace, you decide that right now every second counts. You can’t quail here and risk Fyodor buying enough time to de-petrify or reconstitute Wukong in some other way, “Yes, I’m ready. This mace isn’t just for show.”
Not wasting any time, Rushorou tells his Servant, “Do it!” In response, she runs through the throat of one of the three remaining copies of Wukong with her spear before leaping past the other two to pursue Fyodor, the main surviving clone of Wukong, Kiara, and Caster of Red. Looks like Rushorou’s plan was to have Lancer of Red forge ahead and stop Wukong’s allies from getting any breathing room; now there’s one opponent for each of you to cover her advance.
Neither you nor Rushorou waste time monologuing, and instead you both rush forward to attack a copy of Wukong. Though they’re unarmed, wounded on their forearm and shoulder, and were kicked around a little by the white-haired Lancer earlier, neither appears daunted as you advance with your mace and Rushorou charges in with his wakizashi drawn.
“You want some of the action yourselves? You’re on!” Both Wukong clones say in unison, impressed by your brazenness. As you swing your mace two-handed, the flanges of your weapon skim against your opponent’s fur as he hops away to maintain a distance just out of your reach; you consider pushing forward more quickly, but decide against it for the moment, as he’s most definitely waiting for you to overcommit to a swing and then burst forward to grab at your mace. That’s what you’d do in his position, anyway.
In that case, you’ll give yourself a wider effective reach. It’s evident to you that a mace’s ideal range is relatively narrow, in the sense that its head is shorter than, say, the blade of a longsword. Fortunately for you, you’re strong enough to wield the mace pretty effectively one-handed, so you’ll do just that while drawing a gladius to use in case he tries to catch your mace mid-swing.
“Aren’t you trying to attack me? You have to mean it, White.” Your opponent taunts. Even while wielding two weapons, it’s hard for you to land a solid blow. You know he’s trying to prod at your time-constraints to get you to make a mistake. Despite that, you really do need to come up with something that a hardened fighter like him wouldn’t expect, but is also a sound tactic. You were hoping that the weakened state of the copies would make them surmountable foes, but even with their physical abilities no longer above your own, they still had the experience and instincts of a legendary hero.

Meanwhile, Rushorou is having a similar experience, though his shorter weapon lets his opponent hover in a closer range. To his credit, his technique in wielding his sword isn’t shabby for someone who was a civilian before this, you suppose the instruction his Servant gave him all day was helping. That does remind you, your muscle-memory seems to know how to use these weapons pretty effectively, yet you don’t recall training with them much beyond intuitively measuring their weights, contact areas, and centers of gravity when you picked them up. As you try to find an opening in your opponent’s defenses, your ally then surprises you when he shouts “Kaze no mikadzuki ken!” drawing you to glance over momentarily with your peripheral vision, as a gust of wind radiated from him when he sounded that shout.

“Eh?” He grunts as he starts to reach for the hilt of the blade to pull it out, but you summon every ounce of strength you have to burst forward and smash your mace against the side of his head, caving in his skull and knocking him into the air before his crumples to the ground.

“Focus your energy on hosing them with direct attacks. We need to stop Wukong’s Master from retreating any further.” You say. Needing no further encouragement, Avenger immediately starts blasting a stream of light-beams, fireballs, lightning bolts, and ice-shards toward the third-rate copies of Wukong and the samurai-robot that accompanies Caster of Red. So sudden was your Servant’s onslaught that half of the cloned warriors suffered critical injuries without a chance for reprisal, simply melting away as they fell. The other six transformed into either hares or birds and scattered toward your flanks, taking cover either inside or around the buildings on either side of the road you were on faster than you could track them, though you think Avenger may have hit a few of them as they tried to make that maneuver. Caster of Red’s robot fended off your Servant’s attacks with a spear and sword that it’s able to effectively wield simultaneously, though from its hasty retreat along with the rest of Wukong’s faction you suspect Caster of Red isn’t confident that it can hold off Avenger’s attacks if she focused all of them on it.

“Alright, let’s mop them up.” You answer as you begin to give chase alongside Avenger. Your opponents maintain their fighting retreat for a couple blocks, but Avenger’s attacks chip away at them. Attacks from the expendable clones don’t amount to much, either from their standard humanoid/monkey forms or those of various beasts. The one possible exception being one that took the form of an eagle and fell talons-first nearly into Avenger’s face before you batted it away with your mace. Your Servant was rattled by the close call, thanking you and muttering something about birds of prey making her uncomfortable. Otherwise, Caster of Red’s robot had sustained some damage from Avenger’s spells, the Caster herself was scuffed up, and the main copy of Wukong began creating clones more and more seldom as you and Avenger gained more and more ground.

<span class="mu-i"> “I’ll end this quickly.” </span> Avenger tells you telepathically, before hosing the clone of Wukong with the full might of her magic. Though his staff holds up well enough to parry a lot of the attacks, it’s simply not sufficient for him to fully protect himself against an assault that comes from so many directions; within moments he begins to be overwhelmed. Though his armor is able to withstand a few direct hits, it soon begins getting blasted apart. His attempts to advance or flank are met with a continuous, unrelenting stream of offensive spells, and like a swimmer in the ocean being pushed back by rough waves, he is pushed back each time he tries to so much as move. Eventually you can’t even see him through the cloud of dust that was kicked up, though when Avenger finally ceases fire, you find him lying bleeding on the road, chuckling. Confusing you, his Master and allies didn’t even take the distraction as a chance to try to flee, instead they were waiting only a short distance away, watching the one-sided beatdown without interfering.

Mace in hand, you feel your perception of time slow down as you try to get there in time to do <span class="mu-i"> something </span> to help. Sun Wukong weaves through the barrage of magic, closing the distance. Thrusting his staff forward, it stretches itself to double its normal length and slams into Avenger’s gut. Your Servant dry-heaves as she stumbles back. You reach her side just as Wukong readies a crushing overhead strike. You desperately swing your mace upward to try to meet it and slow the impact. It won’t be enough. You’re doing it anyway. Your mace makes contact. Your arms quake from the reverberation. Wukong’s swing overpowers you. You brace yourself for the inevitable.
