FGO Specter of Glass

Meizhou's Labyrinth Ch1

"Thanks for coming back so soon," Ophelia said, rummaging through her papers.

"What's going on?" Carmen asked.

"Check out these radio waves," Ophelia showed Chaldea the data on her computer. "They're coming from the Labyrinth."

"I thought it went dormant after Mazu was gone."

"I don't know, but whatever it is, it's bad. The White King sent me a message about destroying it."

"How are you supposed to do that?" Helena wondered.

"As if I know!" Ophelia frilled her hair in frustration. "Now that communications are back, he won't stop giving me documents!"

"Does he have a way for you to get into the labyrinth?" Yang questioned. "It's miles away from Xiatian and deep underwater."

Ophelia grumbled. "He said he hired someone to come over and help."

"Let's hope it's not someone impossible to work with," Carmen mentioned as she left the house. And the second she stepped out, a laser was fired at her. She looked up to see a figure with mechanical wings flying above her.

The stranger's wings opened and released more blasts, making Carmen summon her shield to defend against the attack. As she looked closely at the figure, she recognized its appearance. They had long white hair, golden eyes, and mostly black clothing.

"Director?" She asked.

The stranger somehow heard her and flew down to her. "Why did you call me that?" Their voice was mechanical, though also the same as the person she was thinking of.

"Olga Marie?"

"How do you know her name?" Silence followed the question. "Answer me, Master of Chaldea."

"That's enough," another familiar face said. Her long purple hair flowed behind her as she grabbed the stranger in white. It was the ruler-class servant Syne. "The master told you not to be so hard on humans."

"Mother surely wouldn't mind a few broken bones."

"YES, SHE WOULD! I'm sorry, Carmen. Sola can be a lot."

"Screw you!"

"Hey," a girl with short black hair said while bowing. "I'm sorry about her. She's not used to meeting new people."

Carmen tilted her head before remembering the girl. "You're the one we picked up from the labyrinth."

"My name is Marcy Tianfei. It's a pleasure to meet you! And thanks for what you did."

"Oh no, don't tell me he hired the rebel brigade," Ophelia complained and walked back into the house, slamming the door. "You do this, I'm not dealing with those guys."

Sola scoffed. "We didn't need her anyway."

Syne shook her head. The rebels were a small faction in Caligo, and although it wasn't recognized as a full organization, they were well-known for working with whoever hired them. She patted Sola's head and explained that the girl was a temporary member. The alter ego came and went, and just happened to be around for the mission. As for Marcy, she was a newer member and needed experience before "the master" let her go out. Another figure hid behind Marcy. A person wearing a black cloak clung to the girl. They were the caster class servant "Tai", summoned by Marcy using the master's Holy Grail.

Syne also pointed to the dock. She had a submarine ready for them since Nemo was too busy to join. Chaldea was also missing half their group, Medusa was busy for the weekend, and it wasn't likely that the ghost crew was joining. Luckily, they had new team members: Yang's illusions were great for distractions, Sola was a powerful mage, Marcy was good at coordinating attacks, and Tai burned a pirate ship on their way to Xiatian. For a caster, they were powerful fighters. Tai hid behind Marcy again. Despite their strength, they had a cowardly personality. Something Chaldea was used to whenever Akko was around.
