Chapter 30 - Chapter 30: The Beast

[3rd POV]

As the familiar bond cemented, Morgan felt something within her begin to activate, only for her to "Pause" it until after they got back home, as she'd rather not do this in front of Tiamat.

"Now, where's the host of the bastard at? I want to hear that apology of his immediately" Tiamat said, an excited grin on her face, especially after hearing of the punishment Morgan would give him if he didn't apologize.

"Towards where my peerage and I entered this forest from. They're off getting their own familiars at the moment, so it'll take a bit before they get there" Morgan replied as Tiamat growled in slight annoyance, but decided to not push it, as Morgan was already getting her what she desired, so she'd control herself...for now.

Beginning to walk through the forest, Tiamat looked over her new partner, as their familiar contract wasn't of a master and servant one, but more of an equal thing. After all, Tiamat wouldn't be the servant of anyone, dragons hate the mere prospect of being subservient under others, especially those they deem as weaker than them.

"You're strong for a devil, aren't you?" Tiamat asked, as she very rarely interacted with devils. And hadn't actually talked to one in years now, but she could tell that Morgan was strong, very strong, much stronger than normal devils at least. She had met the 4 satans, so she knew that Morgan wasn't on their level yet, but she could tell that the girl was certainly in the upper echelons of devil society.

"In terms of the normal devils? Certainly, but compared to someone like Sirzechs or Ajuka, no" Morgan responded, shrugging. She was decently close to being on the same level as Serafall, but not just yet. She was pretty sure she was about at the level as Grayfia at least, if not, she was very close.

"Hmph, at least my new partner is strong" Tiamat said, happy with that much at least. She'd have been disappointed otherwise.

"Glad you're happy with that. So, Tiamat, may I ask what Ddraig had done that was so bad?" Morgan asked her, as Tiamat glanced at her, going silent in thought, before sighing.

"He killed my daughter" Tiamat replied, as Morgan's eyes shot wide.

"She was not mine by blood but...she was my daughter either way. Albion, the White One, wished to take her as his mate. He had been...warm to her, much more so than I had expected out of someone like him. But when Ddraig had received news of it, he tried his luck, but was denied. He continued to try, and it grew to the point that my daughter began to have feelings for him, just as she did for Albion. It was...a mess, and she knew it was wrong, so she had denied both of them in hopes of stopping any fighting from happening. But, when Albion found out, they battled, and in that battle, my daughter tried to help Albion, she tried to stop them from fighting over her, only for Ddraig to accidentally kill her. Even if it was an accident, I still hate that bastard! He took her from me! So he deserves to pay!" Tiamat snarled, as Morgan frowned.

"And all you want is an apology?" Morgan asked in genuine surprise, not expecting a dragon of all people to only want an apology over such things.

"I'm not ignorant, devil. I understand that he did not kill her on purpose, hells, I believe he may have even been in love with her just as Albion had been. But what did he do? He ran away after the battle, refusing to even look at her corpse, to even talk to me. The bastard is lucky I'm not asking for more out of him. Had I been stronger, I would have killed him then and there, but I'm not, and so, this is the best I'll get" Tiamat replied, as Morgan sighed.

"Well, after we get that apology, I'll look into ways that will allow you to beat the snot out of him so he understands that running away was wrong. I'm glad he didn't do it on purpose though, just a stupid and foolish mistake, a terrible one, but a mistake nonetheless" Morgan replied, already having some ideas that would let Tiamat beat the man, and allow for them to properly talk to one another.

This was one of the cases that she decided she wouldn't intrude much, as it was incredibly personal for Tiamat.

"What was her name?"

"Lahamu. The humans believe she is some sort of Mother Goddess, but she was just my little hatchling" Tiamat said, as Morgan looked at her with soft eyes.

'Once I get a sacred gear that allows for the revival or interaction with the dead, she'll be the first it's used one' Morgan decided inwardly, feeling terribly for this dragon, one that had been much more open than any normal dragon would be.

Continuing to walk in silence, the two eventually made it to an opening, where Issei was standing, a pout on her face.

"Master, I didn't get anything!" Issei said, looking like she was about to cry, only to stop as she noticed the woman standing next to Morgan.

"Issei, could you bring out the boosted gear for me? Tiamat here wants an apology from Ddraig" Morgan asked, as Issei's eyes widened and she nodded, understanding that right now wasn't the time to throw a fit.

"T-Tiamat! What're you-" "Apologize to her Ddraig, for what you did, otherwise I'm going to show you those images again, and in much more...graphic material" Morgan cut the dragon off, as he stopped, paling as he understood what she meant by that.

"And during this, I'll be shutting out the sound for me and Issei, but Tiamat WILL tell me if you didn't apologize properly, understand?" Morgan asked, eyes glowing.

"Yes I understand" Ddraig said in a defeated tone, as Morgan put up a small barrier, one that made it so neither she or Issei could hear anything besides each other, as Tiamat began to speak to Ddraig.

"Is she your familiar master? You sure know how to pick em if so, cause she has some HUGE oppai!" Issei asked, as Morgan snorted.

"Yes Issei, she is my familiar, one of the five dragon Kings, Tiamat. And try not to piss her off, will you? She's stronger than the current me" Morgan said with a sigh, inwardly agreeing that Tiamat did have some huge "Oppai".

"Mmkay. We're still doing that date in a couple of days, right?"

"Yep, why do you ask?"

"Just wanted to make sure is all" Issei asked, blushing slightly as she remembered the talk she had with Yasaka, telling her about things that Morgan...liked. She had already bought some...uniforms with Yasaka for it, so she was excited, to say the least.

Morgan fought back a smirk at the response, knowing that that date and the night of the date were both going to be very enjoyable.

After another 10 minutes of quietly conversing while Tiamat seemed to be yelling at Ddraig through the boosted gear, and even spilling a few tears, Tiamat signaled for Morgan to get rid of the silence barrier.

"You okay, Tiamat?" Morgan asked, slightly concerned.

"I'm okay, Zagan. I'll be returning to my cave, use our connection to summon me when you need me. And...thank you for this" Tiamat said softly, giving Morgan a nod as she flew off, leaving Morgan in silence, and Issei confused.

'...Let's just get home' Morgan thought, as she began to wait for the others. Only to stop when she saw Ingvild walk in with a bashful expression on her face, trailing behind her was a large beast with 9 heads.

"Um...I got a familiar!"

'...I don't even know what to say to this'

_______________________________

Turns out Ingvild had gotten the Nine Headed Hydra as her familiar, a direct descendent of the Lernean Hydra from the Greek, making it incredibly powerful, Ultimate Class in power, with poisons that any devil would fear, with only the strongest of them being able to fight it off.

Valiana had also failed to find a familiar, finding none of them appealing.

Asia had found the same familiar as she did in canon, a small sprite dragon.

Kuroka had found herself a cute little cat that could seemingly manipulate shadows.

Valerie got herself a...bat, one that could control and manipulate lightning.

Raynare ended up finding herself a rather interesting pet in the form of a large bird, that upon research, turned out to be the "Thunderbird", a distant relative to the extinct phoenix.

Lint had found herself a hellhound surprisingly enough, a pup at that.

Levinia had found herself a rather interesting dragon that was a mutation of a water dragon, this being an ice dragon. It was only a young one, but it was a dragon either way.

Zekka had yet to find her own familiar.

Finally there was Jeanne, who they were still waiting for after 30 minutes. Morgan was growing a bit concerned, when she entered from the forests, a small bundle in her arms.

"I found my familiar, isn't he just adorable!" Jeanne asked with a bright smile, as she held her familiar up, and Morgan's eyes constricted, eyes wide as it let out a small sound, a very recognizable one.

"Fou!"

Sitting within Jeanne's arms was the entity known as "Fou" but he was also known as...Cath Palug. An incredibly powerful being that had the potential to grow into something...dangerous. It wasn't the same as its Fate counterpart, that much Morgan could tell, but she could sense that it was...strong, very strong. And should it reach maturity, she doubted she'd be able to fight it.

'What the hell is Fou doing here? He's not a Beast like in Fate, thank Satan, but...he's still strong, much stronger than any normal familiar should ever be. Perhaps...perhaps I should start looking into the possibility of this world being connected to fate on a...deeper level' Morgan thought, wondering if this was the product of the being that sent her here, or was the outside influence of a rather...different person.

'For now it's best to just get back home and claim this power that I'm holding back. And perhaps we start to look into other Fate characters being here. Because if there are more servants here...I need to find them before anyone else does, and recruit them if I can' Morgan thought. While they were obviously not as powerful as their Fate selves, they were strong, dangerously so.

____________________________________

Back home, after the rest of the peerage went off to play with their new familiars or get them situated, Morgan was sat in her room, allowing the power that was previously being held back to flow through her, as her fanon maker activated...several times.

[Demonic Ring | Sacred Gear - Demonic Ring has the abilities to create and manipulate dark demonic energy that is effective against any holy beings which includes fallen angels. It can form into any type of weapon made of dark demonic energy of the user's wishes. The user can also use it to increase their long-range attacks by pouring in dark demonic energy into spells or abilities. The main ability of the sacred gear is called Drain, an ability that steals the opponents strength and adds it to the user by physical contact every 10-seconds. It has a secondary ability called Shadowstar Breaker, unlike Taskstar Barrier which creates a defensive barrier to block attacks. Shadowstar Breaker has the ability to break through barriers. However it can only be accessed by having decent control of the sacred gear. Created by Blazefire21]

[Hyper Leaper | Sacred Gear - Hyper Leaper is a State Change Sacred Gear with the ability to increase the user's speed; it does this by projecting rings of light in front of the user, and as the user passes through the rings, they're speed increases. The user is able to control where the rings are projected and their size, allowing them to create specific routes and paths to take advantage of their increasing speed. The rings aren't exclusive to their user, however. Anything that passes through is subject to the burst of speed and momentum. The user can use this on thrown objects and enemies, though if their opponent understands how Hyper Leaper works, they can use the rings to their own advantage. Hyper Leaper is also able to create footholds in the air through the use of smaller rings, allowing the user to propel themselves through the air as if they were stepping on something. Created by NecroGodYami]

[Dark Paladin Armor | Sacred Gear - Heart of Darkness: An ability of the sacred that will save the user from death, the user's heart and wounds will begin to radiate in a dark aura. The user's wounds will fully heal back to normal and user will resurrected, it takes two months to refill this ability before it can be used again. Weapon Attraction: Attraction is the ability to easily grab anything that can be used as a weapon. It works sort of like the armour is a magnet but the user can attract something on their own will. The object that is grabbed has its components reinforced and can hit harder than steel]

[Haki | Technique - An antithesis of Touki, the external manifestation of Ki to manifest an aura, Haki is instead based on the concept of "inner flow", where Ki is instead channeled and controlled on the inside to where Ki doesn't leak out. As such, it could be viewed as the most efficient and optimal means of enhancing oneself because Ki isn't being dispersed outside and instead kept concentrated inside their body. If mastered enough, then Haki could reinforce the body enough so that a sword couldn't penetrate their skin even if it were thrust into their most vulnerable point. If used on unconventional items, i.e. chopsticks, then Haki could turn them into lethal weapons, on far more conventional weapons, i.e. swords and armors, then it'll boost their effectiveness. If these two similar, but different energies were to be merged together, then the fusion can produce a power much greater than either one alone. At the basic level, this could boost oneself and/or techniques to another level, providing an advantage in combat, earning it the name Haki (覇気, Supreme Spirit), constituting the properties of Ki and Spiritual Power. Dubbed as a technique as it is not a passive energy the user can use. Created by DevilSlayer123]

[Oborozuki-Ryu | Technique - The sword style employs a combination of flowing motions created by footwork reminiscent to that of a waltz and hard, fast strikes. Combined with the flowing, oftentimes circular motions, the force of the attacks are bolstered to enhance their cutting and striking power. In honor of the Moon God, the forms are all named after the Moon's phases according to the Lunar Calendar. It was born from watching watching Tsukiyomi in battle.

Basic Technique - Akatsuki: (赤月 Akatsuki Lit. "Red Moon") A basic iaijutsu technique. The user draws their sword and performs an upward slash before rapidly spinning and performing a downward diagonal slash. It is considered to be a beginner move, despite the speed put into the technique.

"Moon Phases" - Izayoi: (十六夜 Izayoi Lit. "Sixteenth Night") A technique that is reminiscent of Iaijutsu. The user rapidly draws their blade from their scabbard and slashes in either an upward or downward manner. It is considered to be an opening move used by practitioners in order to gauge their opponent. Other times, it can be used as a surprise attack due to its speed.

Futsukazuki: (二日月 Futsukazuki Lit. "Second Day Moon") A ranged technique that utilizes a sword. The user rapidly draws their blade and slashes the air in order to launch vacuum slashes that cut across a large distance. The slashes are timed perfectly with the user's systolic heart beat, allowing the user to swing the sword at full strength each time to launch compressed vaccuum slashes. The slashes can be further enhanced with elemental effects.

Mikazuki: (三日月 Mikazuki Lit. "Crescent Moon") A high-speed iaijutsu technique. The user rapidly draws their blade and slashes in a crescent before dashing forward at extreme speeds, leaving a storm of crescent slashes in their wake. The speed is so immense that several afterimages are left in the user's trail and the slashes only manifest after the user sheathes their blade.

Imachizuki: (居待月 Imachizuki Lit. "Waning Gibbous") The user coats their body in touki and performs a backstep and launches several afterimages forward to slash the foe apart. In a final stroke, the user rushes forward and delivers a killing blow with their sword. The technique can be further enhanced with elemental effects.

Kagen-no-Tsuki: (下弦の月 Kagenotsuki Lit. "Waning Moon") The user performs a powerful half-arced single slash at very high speeds. The speed is so great that it leaves a temporary line across the world that fades shortly after, revealing the cut. In the hands of experts, it is powerful enough to crack the fangs of Fenrir.

Mangetsu: (満月 Mangetsu Lit. "Full Moon") Described as a sublime battoujutsu. It is one of the two highest level kenjutsu techniques and considered to be one of the Oborozuki-Ryu's strongest. The user breathes in a certain pattern, allowing them to accelerate cellular metabolism and accelerate their heartrate to produce a fight-or-flight response. Moonlight within the body is metabolized. After that, touki is then squeezed out of the cells of the user's body and coats the user's blade and sheathe. The user can then unleash the blade to perform a single ruinous slash that moves at high speed, far surpassing the speed of sound and releasing blinding amounts of light and heat. Elemental effects can be added to the attack to further enhance its cutting power.The amount of cutting power Mangetsu has depends on the amount of energy used for it. With sufficient amounts of energy, the technique proved strong enough to be able to penetrate the flesh of extremely powerful beings such as Kali. Created by CrimsonSong]

[Ichor | Quirk - Ichor is a type of Mutant quirk that permanently changes the user's blood into that of its own unique blood type, granting them several types of enhancements while completely reversing its effect in most cases when interacting with other individuals and their blood type. Basically, it increases the users physical attributes, from regeneration, strength, speed, etc. Created by Neaoro Unlimited]

[Energy | Quirk - This Quirk allows the user to constantly absorb energy, including any form of kinetic or potential energy, and transform it into heat and light which can later be redistributed. When enough energy is gathered, the user can even transform into a being of pure energy. This state drastically increases the speed of the user and allows for flight, but will be forced to transform back into their normal state after a short period of time, or risk their body dispersing into pure energy. Despite this Quirk's immense power, when the user absorbs too much energy, they will spontaneously combust, damaging much of the surrounding area. While the user will survive the initial blast, they are still heavily injured by the blast itself. However, several subsequent explosions within a short span of time can kill the user. This is incredibly dangerous, as the fact that the user constantly absorbs even potential energy leaves them at high risk of combustion, forcing them to constantly offload energy or suffer the repercussions of their Quirk. The user is also incapable of absorbing a large amount of energy all at once. Created by Black Dwarf Star]

[Absolute Edge | Quirk - Absolute Edge is a quirk that allows the user to create a blue aura. The aura can cover their body or their weapon. The aura gives whatever it is covering an absolute edge. This means that the weapon can cut through anything without lossing its edge. Durability, harness, and other factors do not matter. The aura protects the edge of the blade preventing it from being damaged and also enhancing its sharpness. The Absolute Edge quirk has the power to cut clean through steel. Of course this can't quite literally cut through everything, but it can cut through a lot. The user has to spend electrolytes to create the aura. Created by LordNoodleXIV]

Morgan's eyes shot wide at the amount, not expecting it. She understood that it was likely because she was now breaking into Satan Class officially, now had a familiar that was in the Satan class, had gotten a familiar for each of her peerage members, some of them being incredibly powerful, to even mythical levels of power like Fou. All of which combined to make her power activate a total of 8 times, the most it had activated in a long time.

She felt power roll through her as the sacred gears cemented within her, the knowledge of techniques soon coming afterwards, with the quirks coming last as she let out a pleasure filled sigh, a wide grin forming on her face as she felt it.

She had officially broken through to Satan class in power, and was now confident in defeating Grayfia, and giving Serafall a good fight, maybe even defeating her should she go all out. And that was without the fact that she could still unlock balance breakers and such.

With all the power assimilated, and the fanon maker stopping, Morgan let out a sigh, as she had one thought on her mind.

'...I'm gonna take a nap'

That's the end of the chapter!

Sorry about the big info dump, but it was kinda needed, as she had broken through to Satan class, and had gotten a powerful "Servant" everyone agreed that she should get more "Slots" so she did!

Next chapter will be the date with Issei, half of it being the date and the other half likely being smut.

Anyways, have a good day!
