*Author note: Hello!

Sorry that I didn't update last week(4th of July weekend). I had a lot of volunteer work(36 hours over 3 days!), so I didn't have time to write or do anything like that.

Anyway, a little notice about this chapter - This chapter's main focus is the fight in the Hanger. In other words? This is my first time trying to write a fight scene where there are two different fights happening at the same time. If it reads a little weird or if you think that there's a part I should've expanded on/cut down on/explain more, please let me know via comments so that I can make the next chapter better!

ALSO! German speakers! Please don't kill me for awful German! I don't have any friends who speak German so all I could rely on were (multiple)online translators and guides!

Thank you for reading!

"The Atlas Institute may not have cleared me for it,but I'm quite familiar with its operation. After all, I got a rather thorough look at its top secret manual while I was in their headquarters."

"Bzzt...bzzt...Tri-Hermes at the Atlas Institute, hmm. You detective types are always on the job, aren't you?"

"Da Vinci?"
"Yep! On the intercom since I just found out I can converse with it while in the tube. Anyway, be honest with me. How good do you think our odds are of pulling that off? Better than if we tried to fight those soldiers?"

"Thirty percent at best, I should think. For that matter, I can't even be sure where we'll end up. If all we wish to do is make it out of this predicament alive, I have no doubt there are better options available. But, if you have your sights set further than that, this is the one I recommend. I believe it will aid us in fighting this adversary in the future."

"...Understood. Expanding Void-Reality Observation Device: Paper Moon. Expanding Logic Formula on Shadow Border's external armor. Removing existence verification for Reality Space. Future prediction: hypothetically prove a mirror world plane in twenty seconds. Relaxing space-time friction decompression for 0. 6 seconds....Emergency processes, all green. Looking good, Holmes! We're all set for our maiden voyage!"

"Wait, wait. Hold on a second! I-"

"Now then, a little heads-up for those of you in the cockpit! Your souls will almost leave your body for a moment, but don't worry, you'll be fine! It's just your average out-of-body experience! But if you find yourself saying stuff like "I-I'm floating? " or "Is that my own body I'm looking at? "......just reach out, grab your body, and hold on for dear life! As long as you do that, you'll come out the other end alive!"

"How is any of that "fine"!? You've just said you're literally going to kill us!"

"Fou fou. Nnn, fooou."

"Master...! I still don't understand what's going on. Are you sure about this...!?"

"Just another day at the office."

"Now that's the Gudako I know! Then without further ado, let's get started-"

"Wait."

"Hmm? What is it, Gudako?"

Gudako pointed towards the remains of Chaldea. Her voice quivered a little bit as she spoke, "Status report on the two Servants."

"...Holmes?"

"I see. Despite having not ever meet them before, you would still go to extreme lengths to care for them. Very well. You know that we don't have much time, but I'll run a check anyway."

"..."

"....Their spirit origins are barely holding on."

"Huh?", gasped Goredolf, "They're still alive? Against all of those enemies!? And that super powerful ice girl!?"
