Opening Song: cuddle by Choucho (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 3rei! Second ending song)

Mash opened her eyes when she heard sobbing at the other cell beside hers. It was the first time she felt someone was with her in that dungeon. For the longest hour she stayed in the darn place, it was the first time she heard someone's sobs aside from her own. She leaned on the walls, trying to find which side of the wall the sobbing was coming from.

When she leaned on the right wall, the sobs got a bit louder. "Uh...hello? Is someone there?" Mash called. Suddenly, the sobbing ceased then, a soft voice along with some clanking noise that sounded like chains came from the wall she was leaning on  "Who...who's there...?"

"Um, actually...I was taken as a prisoner too...just a few hours ago...."

"Oh. I must've been under the effects of something that induces sleep, then. That's why I didn't sense you there.... I am also a prisoner here. For many months already. This place was built after the death of the Director of Chaldea..." the woman, at least, Mash discerns to be a woman due to the tone of voice, narrated to her and Mash's eyes widened "You know Chaldea...?" she asked "Of course we do." three more voices (one woman and two men) said in unison "Our children were recruited by them to become Master potentials after all." the first woman said and Mash's eyes widened

"Your children...? A-actually, I'm also a part of Chaldea.... May I know who your children are? Maybe they are the ones who awakened from the incident in Chaldea already. I may be able to do something when my Senpai and the others rescue me..." hopefully

"You are also a part or Chaldea?"

"Yes I am."

"Alright. The name of our children are..."

Mash kept her ear to the wall, to hear the voices of the other prisoners better

"Gudako Pendragon and Gudao Emiya."

What...!?

***

Gudao watched as his team slowly falls apart. His blue eyes suddenly landed on Gudako as she commanded Ishtar, the Shinjuku Alters (including EMIYA Alter), Ereshkigal, Astraea, Parvati, MHX and MHX Alter as they work together in defeating Beast I, Goetia. When Gudako met his gaze, she went back to fighting stance "I'll ask you again, Gudao. Where did you take Mash? I can see she's not here yet. Seeing as the ceremony for her fusing with Erica has been halted, she should still be here. I ask you again," she drew her swords "Where's Mash!?"

Gudao sighed and looked into her eyes

Blue clashed with gold...

"..." the male anomaly stayed quiet "Why are you doing this, Gudao!? We used to be best friends! Our families are tied together closely. But now...I wish you would tell me what made you this way!" she said while her Command Spells and the Mark of her Spiritron suddenly pulsated "Why, you say? Why don't you ask yourself that, Gudako. Why would your older brother hate you? You must've done something to upset him. Think about what you did when you were living together with your parents. Think back on it." Gudao says again as he traced Kanshou and Bakuya

"What do you-ugh!-mean!?!??!" Gudako replied, blocking her brother's strike with her swords "You really are dense, aren't you, Pendragon!?" he said pushing her, forcing her to move backwards. Gripping on the hilts of her swords, she parried his attack and backflipped away from her brother.

"You ask me why I would do this. It's because..." he paused as his Command Spells pulsated, his Shadow Servants roaring in rage, like Berserkers. He then launched herself again from his place and met swords with Gudako
