Charlie Brown, Calvin, and five other Sunday comics characters summon their pets Servants for a battle royale to decide who will rule an already dying medium. With the decline of hard-copy...

Gil. Or wait for the Mages' Association / Burial Agency to kill it. Drake might also be able to bombard it to death.

We're in the rare situation where our enemies' incompetence actually hurts us.

If not for his ethnocentrism and a thousand plot points that would have prevented it, he'd have actually done better with Aoi.

Considering what she did for Tokiomi's bloodline, El-Melloi Jr....

So basically she has the magus quadfecta (brilliant, arrogant, prestigious bloodline, family has prior links with Kayneth), plus looks.

Pity about the overlooked stuff like compatibility.

I've been saying for a while that somebody needs to write a story where Kayneth summons Medea (and she doesn't immediately kill him for being an unlikable jerk).

Might be interesting if she'd actually conned Kayneth into believing she was attracted to him before their families signed the marriage pact. Once they'd arranged it, no more need to pretend.
...

Haven't thought about it much, but my first instinct would be: Put him in a long, grueling situation where he needs to accomplish the impossible or Sola dies. Lots of failures and dead-ends along the...

I don't see Kayneth -- in our current configuration of events -- coming out of this War having learned a lesson and becoming a better person for it.

He doesn't listen to anybody, and the sort of...

Yup, and he did it by surviving, not winning. (Along with a couple other survivors.)

As long as the body count climbs enough before the game cancels, Kayneth would get the same reputation boost...

There is no way anybody comes out of Fate Zero better off (except Kirei, who still "lost" in a metaphysical sense anyway). Survival is a Good End because Kayneth's already unwittingly placed himself...

Gil's probably got something.

Alternatively, the Mages' Association / Burial Agency flies in some big guns to deal with the issue. Perhaps even cancelling the War in the process.

And if that...

Or that Kariya somehow turns his servant on us in time, and gets the heck out of there before we can finish him.

Killing Kariya and stealing Lancelot while Lancelot fights Saber would take some...

"An expendable tool to point at our enemies. Tokiomi sullied the competition when he colluded with the Supervisor's son. We are merely restoring the balance -- the detritus shall clear out the...

I'll admit that it's not an easy choice either way, but I doubt that we'll get a better chance to kill Saber, keep Lancelot around (whom we canonically need to win), and forge an alliance with Kariya.

Y'know, it's too bad that Kayneth doesn't have much strategic sense, since --

"Lancer, kill Kiritsugu while his servant is distracted with Berserker."

So how many are voting for attacking Saber again? (Aside from me.)

While unlikely, this would be awesome. I've always thought that Saber was the most compatible F/Z servant for Kayneth. Kiritsugu would have murdered 'em both thanks to their stupid honor fixation,...

^ This. We can probably still get him later. The magical wound won't go away.

The Lancelot / Seiba conflict, on the other hand, is a limited time offer. And if Lancelot dies, we're screwed.

Command seal. Which Kayneth will do at minimal provocation.

Exactly.




I am almost tempted to write this character now.

At this point, I'll just have to claim "mystery" and hope that I get a chance to write it.

Professor Medearty would be hilarious, though.

Nope. After this timeline's FSN, but a somewhat unusual version of FSN's events.

Yeah, in some cases. This guy might have been co-opted into Gil's stories, and qualifies. Father of the guy who saved humanity from the Deluge.

As far as Menes goes, semi-divine 3100 BC unifier of...

Yeah, I've always found the exact mixture of real history and magitech in Nasuverse kinda baffling, to be honest. Because Nasu didn't quite retcon all of it, IIRC -- even though you'd probably need...
