Souls Of The Fateless (FGO x God's Wrath OC Series Story)

Temple of Venus

Despite the team's dynamic having never fought together, they moved like a well-oiled machine with Bahamut canceling out Ishtar's destructive offense while the duo of Mash and Atalanta kept things fairly grounded, not allowing her to move in the open area at insane speeds.

"Fujimaru-kun."

Merlin called my name amongst the constant vibrations, his line of sight still focused on the fight, tracing every moment of it before turning to look at me.

"You have a plan, don't you, Fujimaru? We should put it into action before long. Bahamut's holding back extremely well, but I imagine if Atalanta gets hurt he might lose his patience."

"Can't go hoping for a united front if we go straining our bond with Ishtar even further."

"I know, I might have an idea, though, it's a bit reckless quite possibly suicidal."

"Sounds like cause for concern, but alright, just tell me what you have in mind."

I filled Merlin in on my strategy holding the bag of gems safely in my arms. Another vibration shook the earth, the dust settling uncovering Mash laying in a small crater breathing heavily struggling back to her feet.

Free from the three-way deadlock she fired off consecutive arrows enclosing them around Atalanta before throwing Manna like a weapon forcing her to the ground, just narrowly missing Atalanta as she rolls across the floor her bow on the other side, Ishtar wasting no moment to engage in an aerial chase with Bahamut.

"Merlin!"

Rushing forward I pocket the small pouch looking as if I'm charging for Ishtar herself. Yelling her name, gathering her attention my way she stops mid-flight aiming a finger.

"Putting yourself at risk yet again, charging out here for the sake of your servants. I warned the next time you did something so stupid I'd put an end to your foolish existence!"

Discharging a beam from her hand it burns through my flesh; Merlin's illusion fades bursting into flowers Ishtar's unable to hide her surprise as every inch of her body is hugged by Bahamut's chains the next instant.

"Anti-divine weapons, seriously!"

Ignoring the struggling Ishtar, I lock eye contact with Bahamut who lowers himself to the ground grabbing my outstretched hand before lifting me into the sky.

"You're utterly stupid." Leveling me with Ishtar he looked back at me in annoyance slightly increasing the strength of his grip.

"Because I'm asking you to throw me into enemy arms?" I joked hiding my fear behind a cheerful smile.

"More like because you're asking me to throw you, don't blame me if the force from the wind pressure tears you to shreds before you even hit her."

(That's...frightening)

Raising his arm at an angle level with the side of his face I felt his breath tickle my nose as he breathed out, Fou who was propped on his other shoulder letting loose an adorable noise of what I assumed was GO!, I'm thrown like a javelin.

I close my eyes and mouth to keep me from biting my tongue as Ishtar became closer, having finally freed herself from the chains she turned and faced me, her expression turning to one of a deer in headlights as I barreled into her midsection sending us tumbling out of the air, the two of us screaming as loud as our lungs would allow.

We crashed at the edge of the temple in front of the golden cat statues. Ishtar lay below me her face glazed over, the pupils of her eyes replaced with swirls as I sat up only to fall back, three varying versions of Mash and Atalanta rushing towards me in concern.
