Summary Events Log:
Alice is killed by Zouken Matou’s familiars, cutting off Gilgamesh’s prana supply
Given that he currently has his Vimana manifested the immense prana drain allows Gilgamesh a second to realize exactly what just happened before he vanishes
Emboldened by the disappearance of the Teal Faction’s trump card, White Faction presses their advantage.
Confused and worried by Gilgamesh’s disappearance, Aaron evacuates the area, taking Medea with him.
At roughly the same time, Boudicca reaches the first array of wards and activates her Noble Phantasm, converting them into a prana-eating firestorm.
With Aaron gone, the remaining three Masters of Teal Faction decide to get the hell out of dodge before White Faction cuts off any chance of escape.
Upon regrouping, Troy proposes an alliance to Rin and Takeshi against Aaron - he allowed Fafnir to destroy Kobe and he just abandoned their faction. They accept.
Meanwhile, Abraham Van Helsing, curious at what is keeping his faction’s Rider away, tails him back to Zouken’s safe house and discovers the remaining Master. A monster-slayer by nature, Abraham Van Helsing kills Zouken Matou by crushing his true form with a stake. By extension this kills the long-suffering Sakura Matou.
Aaron discovers Alice’s mostly-eaten body. He may have destroyed some of the monitors in sheer rage
Using his familiars, Gereon tracks down Aaron and realizes he’s isolated and mostly alone. He sends the twins and Assassin to deal with him.
Having had time to compose himself and forewarning from Medea, Aaron lays an ambush for them. Despite admonishment from Assassin, who wishes to be cautious, the twins charge pretty much straight in.
Aaron promptly kills them both with a single magecraft-enhanced IED, not being in the mood for their shit
The remainder of Teal Faction is located and attacked by White Faction.
Gereon, naturally, chooses to go after Rin, Takeshi and Troy directly, alongside Mira. Between the two of them, they manage to nearly trap Takeshi before, by Command Seal, Cú Chulainn uses Gae Bolg on Gereon. He’s a little annoyed that he didn’t get to properly fight Gereon’s Servants to the death, but he’ll let it slide under the circumstances - he’d rather fight Tomoe later anyway and Takeshi needs to live long enough for that to happen. Archer’s not sure how to take that exactly.
The other two White Faction members retreat. With two members of White Faction left, the alliances are effectively bigger than the remaining factions. Teal Faction goes looking for Aaron
Upon finding him, they employ overwhelming force to attack and kill him. Aaron Gate falls after being shot through the head by Tomoe.
Almost instantly afterward, Rin Tohsaka is decapitated by Troy using one of his Formalcraft spells. At the same time, since he clearly planned this, Tomoe is impaled by Berserker’s Noble Phantasm, Tyrfing, leaving Takeshi Servantless. Thankfully he manages to contract with a nearly-faded Beowulf - with his shiny new Saber Takeshi fights off Troy and his Servant and retreats to lick his wounds.
While this is happening, Mira attempts to backstab Fiore only to be stopped by Caster. She sustains two broken ribs in the ensuing fight and is only saved from impalement by a furious Berserker.
Unable to close into stabbing or slicing range, Mordred, out of desperation and rage, throws Clarent at Fiore. This doesn’t kill her, but injures her severely enough that Mordred rams Fiore into the ground and bashes her head in with a single blow.
Tracking the other two using Aaron’s sensor network and laptop, Troy tracks down the injured Mira/Mordred pair. In the ensuing battle, Mordred is cut nearly in half by Tyrfing. Mira, enraged, attempts to kill Troy only for him to leave her to his Servant. She doesn’t last ten seconds.
Tracking down Takeshi next, Troy engages him in direct combat, leaving Hervor and Beowulf to fight each other alone.
Over the course of the fight with Hervor, Beowulf loses first Hrunting and then Naegling as Tyrfing shatters both blades into splinters. Not particularly, bothered, he dodges her next swing, grabs her sword-arm, rips it out of its socket, and then Beowulf impales Hervor on her own sword.
Troy, desperate to seize some hope of a last-minute victory, launches a furious volley of attacks that rapidly overwhelms Takeshi’s defenses - but before he can land the killing blow Beowulf takes the attack for his new Master. He then casually materializes his giant’s sword that I forgot the name of with the blade running through Troy’s torso, killing him.
Takeshi Zarado wins the Holy Grail
